USPTO assigns the country of origin based on the geographic distribution of the patents is based on the residence of the inventor whose name appears first on the printed patent (i.e., the first-named inventor).
USPTO reports data based on where an inventor lives not where the inventor works. In the past this wasn't much of a difference. One could assume that the inventor lived close to where he or she worked. The ability of inventors to telework, collaborate more easily, and to share resouces across disparate locations — many US universities have campuses around the globe — means that the US state or foreign country designation is not as accurate as it used to be but it is still pretty good for estimating economic activity related to patent intense industries.
US 8,420,837 for a Method of preparing a non-particulate iron-crown either complex was awarded to three Azerbaijan based inventors but assigned to Asiacom Group Investments, Inc., an assignee in Oklahoma City, OK.
Bahamaian Lawrence George Brown and his two California based co-inventors received a patent for locked contact infinitely variable transmission.
A team of inventors from Ford Global Technologies, LLC, Ford's intellectual property organization was led by two United Kingdom based inventors with the patent being assigned to Ford Global Technologies in Dearborn, Michigan.
The patent awarded to Egyptian inventors was assigned to IBM in Armonk, NY.
The patent awarded to Icelandic inventor Johannes Thordarson of Reykjavik Iceland is assigned to a firm in Hong Kong.
US 8,421,839 granted to Estonian inventor Kaido Kert is assigned to Skype, Dublin, Ireland.
A second Estonian patent is assigned to Microsoft in Redmond, Washington.
Science & Engineering journal articles provide a proxy for understanding the impact of cross-border international collaboration on new discoveries and new inventions. According to the National Science Foundation, collaborative research is becoming the norm, and collaboration across national boundaries is generally increasing, as reflected in international coauthorship on research articles. In 1988, only 8% of the world's Science & Engineering articles had international coauthors; by 2009, this share had grown to 23%. For the world's major S&T regions, the 2009 rate ranged from about 27% to 42%. U.S.-based authors appeared on 43%, and European Union-based authors on 67%, of the world's internationally coauthored articles in 2009.
The bottom line is that the lines continue to blur between the geographic location of both inventors and their inventive activity. The reporting needs to catch up. We're working on it.

Real estate is much desired in the world that we are living today. The reason for the demand is because of the resource being limited because of the population growth rate being high. People acquire them to build their homes because of the peace that comes with them. Some parts of the home start to look displeasing and that happens after some time of use of the home. That is the reason why a lot of people choose to renovate than move out because it is cheaper.
There is an increase in the demand for the raw materials that are involved in the renovation in the market because of reasons like these. Renovation companies have been formed by the investors who come to the market because of the demand that the clients have. More and more companies have been set up so that the investors will be able to fetch the profits and the clients get challenges when they want to choose one among them. There are however a number of factors that if the clients consider, they can be able to make better decisions.
The level of experience is the first factor that should be considered. The experience is gained by a person while on the job. Experience can be seen if the client has a look at the number of jobs that the company performed in the past. Experience levels that are high show that the company has the ability to be able to deliver the results that the client desires.
The cost of renovation is the other factor that should be considered. Based on the resources that are available is what the budget is based on and that is what runs the lives of a lot of people. That is the reason why one should ensure that they are financially well to start the process of renovating the house. One should make sure that the limits to spending are not exceeded. For that matter the client should take the renovation company that is affordable to them.
The workmanship is the other factor that should be considered. The tools and the employees that are used in the repair is what the workmanship is all about. The employees should be trained even in the basics so that they can assure the client of a good job. Up to date tools and well-kept ones are what the company should have to make sure that they have the best finish on the house. Once all of those factors are considered, the client can be able to make a choice of the company.

Founder of FTX Sam Bankman-Fried faces Federal inquiry
Roxanne WilliamsDecember 8, 2022Last Updated: December 8, 2022
The life and times for the founder of FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, are only getting more complicated and confusing as presently he is seemingly facing a Federal-enquiry, which the Federal authorities have duly initiated. Their main aim and intention are to successfully unravel the murky details behind what they deeply suspect are the many manipulations about Sam Bankman's hedge funds that he presumably has carried out. These are related to the activities involving trading he has been actively engaged in. In their firm opinion, these activities finally led to the collapse of the two cryptocurrencies sometime in May 2022.
According to inside information received from reliable sources, the Federal authorities are leaving no stone unturned regarding the closely carried out investigation of Sam Bankman-Fried and his suspicious activities, which ultimately led to the total downfall of the two cryptocurrencies. Not only that, the seemingly resultant factor was that the entire connected industry felt the negative impact and is supposedly still reeling under it. This scenario also led to the FTX exchange itself going bankrupt, taking a lot of other unsuspecting enterprises with it.
In their search for possible fraudulent acts, the United States prosecutors are very carefully and closely screening the fact that Sam Bankman was responsible for engineering the pricing related to two of the inter-connected currencies, namely, Terra USD and Luna. However, in their firm opinion, this was carried out to effectively favor the entities he was in control of, which also happened to have included FTX, along with Almeda Research, which happens to be a hedge fund he owned.

Q: How to visualize an event timeline in D3? I want to visualize the timestamps of events in my data using a visualization as shown below:

I guess this can be done in several different ways and with my lack of experience with D3, I'd like to hear a recommendation for a good approach. Perhaps it can achieved by manipulating some common visualization in an intricate way?
EDIT: Based on feedback from ee2Dev, I will do 4 lines instead of 2, capturing incoming and outgoing calls/texts separately. Regarding granularity, it would be best if the visualization could capture one week of data in 5 minute intervals (one text message will equal to 5 min of talking and a 48 minute call will be rounded up to a 50 minute call). That will amount to 7*24*12 = 2016 possible intervals, which seems somewhat reasonable. Perhaps 10 min intervals would be more suitable than 5 min intervals, but I guess the code can be easily adjusted for that. Something that I haven't shown is how midnight should be marked to show which days are active, and which are not.
Below is my code and my sample data:

Depending on what newspaper you read, Wayne Rooney and David Moyes are either set to talk today about his future at Old Trafford, have already met, or have no plans to meet.
It's been about five weeks since United announced that David Moyes was taking over from Sir Alex Ferguson. I cannot believe in that time that Moyes has not spoken to Rooney or his agent Paul Stretford. And both sides will have already decided what the future brings.
So what do United do with Rooney? One obvious answer, is that they keep the best English player in the game and the the clubs fourth all-time scorer. For those who knock Rooney, who is still only 27 and in the prime of his career, in the last six seasons he has led United to 3 Champions League Finals, 4 Premier League trophies, 1 Club World Cup and 1 League Cup. Oh and he won the Player of the Year in 2009-10. Not a bad CV.
Th flip side is that Rooney's form dipped last season, and Robin van Persie took over the mantle as the team talisman. But keep in mind that in 2011-12, Rooney scored 34 goals in 44 appearances for United. Rooney is United's highest paid player at around £200,000-a-week and with two years on his current contract, is probably looking for a new contract with a raise.
And that is United's dilemma. Do they give Rooney, a player who Fergie had some serious long-term fitness doubts about, a new deal worth say £250,000-a-week?
If you look at Rooney's body of work, you would say that it should be a no-brainer to sign him to a new deal. But with the play of RVP last season in Rooney's preferred striker role, the question comes where does David Moyes play Rooney? Does he continue to play him off RVP, or does Moyes change the United system and play Rooney more as a number 10 in a 4-2-3-1 formation? And would Rooney be happy there?
I am not sure of that. From what I have read, Rooney still sees himself as a goalscorer, in that number 9 position, and he will not get that at United. So what does Wayne Rooney do?
From a footballing standpoint, it will be extremely difficult to match the success that he has enjoyed at United (12 trophies) at another English club. Which leads the logical move for Rooney to be overseas.
He has been linked with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, and even Neymar last week talked up Rooney moving to Barcelona. None of them are bad choices, but Bayern and Real Madrid seem the most logical as they both would allow Rooney to play as a center-forward. It would be really interesting to see how Rooney progresses as a player by playing in Spain, or under Pep Guardiola's guidance at Bayern.
I believe that it is both United's and Rooney's interest for him to move overseas this summer. With RVP in his preferred role and Shinji Kagawa probably more suited long-term to the No. 10 role, of Rooney signs a new five-year deal at United, I don't think he will be happy where he is played.
If he goes to one of Europe's big clubs, he gets to play in his preferred striker role, gets the pay raise that he wants, and continues to win medals.
How do you think the Wayne Rooney saga will end? Will he stay at United and sign a new deal this summer or will be be sold?

You, Your Pension & Your Union
Max Hall on Wednesday, January 29 2020 - 1:32pm
When it comes to retirement plans, most working Americans have only a few options. For many public workers, though, a pension promises a secure, dignified retirement after a lifetime of service.
In many states, public pension systems have been decimated by anti-worker forces more interested in lining their own pockets than investing in the people who do America's work and produce our nation's wealth. Like in many private-sector industries across the country, big-money interests have deflected the brunt of their financial woes onto the backs of workers – and the results haven't been pretty.
In Kansas, policymakers managed to decimate the state's public pensions in under two decades. The plans, fully funded in 2000, now face a $43 billion deficit due to politicians' failure (or refusal) to fund the plans and make responsible market investment decisions.
Here in Minnesota, we've been diligent – and successful - in protecting our public pensions from such attacks. But we need to remain vigilant and combat the broader anti-worker narrative that threatens to undermine the rights and benefits we've earned.
So how does a pension system work, exactly? And what makes Minnesota's pension system unique?
Let's start with the basics. Minnesota has three major pension systems. The Minnesota State Retirement System (MSRS) includes most state employees, ranging from State Patrol officers, Metropolitan Council workers, and employees at both the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota State University systems.
PERA (the Public Employees Retirement Association) administers retirement benefits for most local government employees and many school district workers. Finally, most public school and Minnesota State University teachers and faculty are covered under the Teachers Retirement Association plan (TRA). Most AFSCME members and retirees participate in either MSRS or PERA.
Our union pension is a defined benefit plan, rather than a defined contribution plan. Why is that important? Because one is guaranteed, and the other is not. Since the 1980s, corporations have tried to shift workers to DC plans in an effort to shirk the responsibility of a safe retirement for their employees. With a DB plan, our members have a retirement they can count on. Get the full comparison between DC and DB plans below!
The strength of our pension systems is not an accident. For decades, public employees in Minnesota have fought back against attempts to underfund and undermine the retirement benefits we've earned.
Defined Contribution Plans (401K-style)
Defined Benefit Plans (Pensions)
Employers may contribute a set amount, "match" employee contributions, or contribute nothing at all toward employees' retirement.
Employers contribute a set amount to the fund based on how much money is needed to pay benefits to all workers.
Employees carry all the risk, making savings vulnerable to economic downturns.
Risk is shared among everyone paying into the pension, making DB plans much more durable through the ups and downs of the market.
Individuals must manage their own funds, or pay Wall Street firms for their financial advice.
Professional pension administrators manage the funds and focus on protecting workers, not Wall Street.
DC plans cost twice as much to manage as DB plans.
DB plans are less expensive – and more cost effective – to manage.
There is no guarantee the money will be there when you retire.
Monthly payments from your pension fund are guaranteed – for the rest of your life.
Defined-benefit pensions like ours can be the difference between a comfortable retirement and decades of scarcity. More than 20% of retired Minnesotans live in poverty, surviving solely on Social Security income. Public pensions are modest, ranging from $1,200 to $2,300 a month. A typical AFSCME retiree has pension benefits of about $14,000 a year. For most retirees, that income is the difference between living in poverty and living securely, with dignity.
According to the National Institute on Retirement Security's Pensionomics 2018, pension payments to retirees are crucial to fueling job growth and economic output both locally and nationwide. Here in Minnesota, retiree spending contributes significantly to our state's economic strength. In 2016, pension expenditures in Minnesota supported 48,134 jobs, $3.9 billion in added value to the state, and $3.1 billion in direct economic impact across the state – with a total economic impact of $7.2 billion.
As public service providers, AFSCME members have a vested interest in making sure workers – the major stakeholders in our pension policies – have a seat at the table when it comes to making decisions about the retirement benefits we all deserve.
That's why we encourage our members to serve on the pension boards – and to show up when the decision-makers need to hear from workers most. We're proud to support three AFSCME members on the MSRS Board, and two more on the Board of PERA.
AFSCME members are educated, dedicated, and tireless in the fight to protect the retirements we deserve. We've used our people power to defend the benefits we've earned, and we have the legislative track record to prove it.
But we know we can't rest on our accomplishments. Every year, politicians at all levels of government look to balance their budgets by stealing money out of pension funds and, by extension, out of the hands of retirees who earned it. Others seek to make public sector union members less powerful by restricting the pension benefits they can demand in negotiations.
In the years to come, we must continue the long tradition of protecting retirement security for ourselves, and the generations of workers who will follow.

Aditya Jain, 3rd year Production Engineering was doing a research internship under the Global AAR program for two months in Shibata Lab, Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan under Prof. Tomhorio Shibata. The research goal was on human assistive robotics via adaptive intelligence systems. The lab's research focuses mainly on motor control and decision making. The internship opportunity was opened for 2nd and 3rd year undergraduate students of computer science engineering, electrical engineering department and mechanical engineering.
The selection procedure for the program was not through the TnP portal of IIT Delhi. The HOD office of the mechanical department of IIT D circulated the details about the program through webmail. In the first round, CV shortlisting was done.
In second round, Prof Shibata took a skype interview in which he asked about the projects Aditya had mentioned in his CV and how he implemented them.
This program opened for two students each from IIT D and IIT K students this year. From our college, Rithul P., Fourth year (currently). Mechanical Department was also selected.
The project was in Cloth Dynamics in the Baxter robot. The professor had assigned Aditya a mentor, and together they had to discuss, plan and work accordingly. Apart from the project, Aditya also attended multiple seminars and classes on Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning. Also weekly, in his lab JOURNAL CLUB, two lab members discussed a published paper related to their project and one lab member presented the developments in their project since the last meeting.
People in Japan are extremely polite. It is a pretty big culture shock for someone who lives in New Delhi. The city is at the countryside of Fukoka Prefecture so the population is not so dense compared to Tokyo and it is full of greenery and beaches so one has plenty of sightseeing options.
It is a must to have an understanding of basic Japanese. Knowing Japanese can be of great use as people there are not familiar with English. So you could face inconvenience during shopping and transportation.
Japan is costlier compared to India. So, the initial few days it takes a while to get an idea of the prices and make sure you don't overspend. Vegetarian food is highly limited, so it is best if one knows how to cook for themselves, as it makes one's life easier.

Michel Soutif  (* 8. Juli 1921 in Paris; † 28. Juni 2016 in Meylan) war ein französischer Physiker. Er war wesentlich für den Ausbau von Grenoble zu einem Zentrum physikalischer Forschung verantwortlich.

Leben
Soutif studierte von 1942 bis 1946 an der École normale supérieure (Paris) (ENS) mit der Agrégation 1946. Er wurde 1950 an der ENS promoviert. An der ENS gründete er das Hochfrequenz-Labor SACM (Societé alsacienne de constructions mécaniques), aus dem später Alcatel hervorging. 1948 baute er mit Hilfe des Centre national d'études des télécommunications (CNET) die erste Radiowellen-Telefonverbindung in Frankreich, die von Nizza nach Korsika ging. Auf Initiative von Louis Néel kam er nach Grenoble, wo er 1955 bis 1963 die Sektion Génie Atomique am Polytechnikum leitete, 1958 Professor wurde und 1958 Gründer des Laboratoire de Spectrométrie Physique war, das er bis 1971 als Direktor leitete. Er unterstützte die Beteiligung der Wissenschaftler seines Labors am 1967 auf Initiative von Louis Néel und Heinz Maier-Leibnitz gegründeten Institut Laue-Langevin und er überzeugte auch den mit ihm befreundeten William Hewlett, einem der Gründer von Hewlett-Packard, eine Forschungseinrichtung von HP in Grenoble zu eröffnen. Außerdem war er wesentlich daran beteiligt, das deutsch-französische Radioteleskop Institut de radioastronomie millimétrique (IRAM) nach Grenoble zu holen und in den 1980er Jahren gelang es ihm, die European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), ursprünglich für Straßburg vorgesehen, nach Grenoble zu holen. 1971 bis 1976 war er Direktor der neu gegründeten Universität Joseph Fourier Grenoble I.

Als Physiker befasste er sich mit Kernspinresonanz (NMR), Mikrowellen, Neutronenphysik, Radiotechnologie, Instrumentenbau, Elektronik und Wissenschaftsgeschichte (mit zwei Büchern über chinesische Wissenschaftsgeschichte).

1971 war er Präsident der Société Francaise de Physique (SFP). 2004 erhielt er den großen Preis für die Wissenschaftskooperation zwischen China und Frankreich von der Volksrepublik China und den Villemot Preis der Académie des Sciences. 1979 erhielt er den Prix des trois physiciens.

William, Kate and Harry travelled to the Olympic Park in a state car after the Buckingham Palace reception, where the trio joined other members of the Royal family for the Olympic opening ceremony.
The Red Arrows flypast the stadium before the ceremony.
William, Kate and Harry watch the flypast.
William and Kate exchanging thoughts on the ceremony.
The young royals were seated behind Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife Samantha.
80,000 spectators filled the stadium. A stunning view!
The much anticipated ceremony was themed around the notion of the 'Isles of Wonder'. The concept was inspired by Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'. Film director Danny Boyle (best known for directing Slumdog Millionaire) was at the helm of the £27 million production which is reportedly being watched worldwide by over one billion people.
'The ceremony is an attempt to capture a picture of ourselves as a nation and will celebrant the exuberant creativity of the British'.
The Olympic stadium has been transformed into a countryside setting and has been described as 'The Olympics meets the Shire'. A cast of 15,000 volunteers took to the stage with a number of four legged friends. Animals played a central role in the beginning of the show which served as a 'Noah's Ark' of British livestock. 70 sheep, 12 horses, 10 chickens, 10 ducks, 9 geese took part.
The UK of the 19th century transforming as it industrialises.
Her Majesty's entrance could only be described as legendary. The show cut to a pre prepared film of Daniel Craig (as James Bond) escorting the Queen from Buckingham Palace to the stadium via helicopter.
Two figures were then seen parachuting into the stadium and moments later the Queen and Prince Philip emerged, a wonderful touch and lovely to see HM's fun side :) The Palace said her Majesty was 'delighted to be involved in something so exceptional'.
William, Kate and Harry in the audience.

The Downton Abbey cast were in high spirits outside the stadium. William and Kate are said to be huge fans of the show.
The five Olympic rings , forged from red hot metal, light up the ceremony.
Kate wore the same Christopher Kane bespoke coatdress she wore to the reception (a Palace aide suggested she would not have time to change). To read more on Kate's look please see today's earlier post.
It was an incredible ceremony and Danny Boyle certainly showed the 'great' in Great Britain. I hope you enjoyed it too. David Beckham piloted a speed boat and its torch bearer to the stadium.
It was way too long. When they cut to Kate,she didnt look happy.
Those are some big diamond earrings on Kate!
Wonder if they were a gift from her Prince? Never seen her wear them before.
Just been watching the ceremony in 3D! It looks absolutely amazing! Cannot imagine what it must be like to be there the atmosphere must be incredible! Proud to be british!! Kate looks like she's really enjoying it! I'm jealous :p I love her earrings! Very bling and glam!
Charlotte you're the best!!!!Thanks for the link!!!
What an awesome show!! Great Britain is making an absolutely flawless Opening Ceremony! Watching it live here! I am feeling very patriotic right now! Duchess Catherine is looking fantastic!
Charlotte, any news on the Duchess's earrings? They are beautiful just like the Duchess. Wondering if they were a gift from her Prince. Never seen them before.
Great post today as always.
Lovely outfit and it's nice to see her wearing larger earrings. Yes! :) I can't wait to watch the ceremony. The photos are spectacular!!!
I hope those of you in the US who haven't seen it yet enjoy it. I thought it was wonderful.
The earrings are lovely, as of yet we don't know the designer but I'll update when we do. Possibly Kiki's..
Duchess, I thought the opening ceremony was the best one I have ever seen. What an amazing representation of the culture and there was sooo much for the eyes to absorb! :) Just cannot say enough about it. I also wonder how William and Kate felt to see the image of their balcony kiss! What a surreal moment, I thought.
Regarding the earrings, I would love to know the source if/when you can share the information. With Kate's long hair, I think larger earrings look better on her - better proportion-wise. And I also believe that was the reason she did not wear a brooch as some people suggested. It would have been OTT, IMO.
really like the earrings - adding a glittery, fun, youthful touch to her ensemble.
it looks like kate, will, harry are having a lot of fun!
it must be surreal to watch a ginormous screen show your wedding kiss to 80,000 ppl!
does anyone else think it's odd that charles and camilla are seated so far from the queen?
Congratulations to all of Great Britain on what is so far on US tv a spectacular opening ceremony! Best line of our broadcast: and the Queen is......a Bond Girl!
for whoever posted a comment earlier today, about the shine probably not being so bad in person: you're right! it looks much better in natural light, than under flash bulbs.
The body language between William and Kate during the Olympics was a bit painful to watch. He barely looked at her even when she was talking to him. Then, there was that pic of them in the car where she looked miserable. I hope this couple makes it. I love Kate and her style and quiet strength and hope he doesnt do what his father did to his mum.
You can't expect them to look deliriously happy in every photo or shot, especially on such a long night as the opening ceremonies.
Why are people trying to find thing wrong in the marriage of the beautiful Duchess and her Prince?
@Anonymous- I don't know why you think it was painful to watch the Duchess & her Prince, they looked like they were having a great time. Just remember they had a really busy day and it was getting late.
By Anonymous above and to all who frequent this blog, I follow the relationship of William and Kate from the beginning and I've noticed is that they began to behave exactly like the time they were dating. Who does not remember when they were leaving nightclubs and William went out with a face of one who was drunk and barely looked to Kate's face? And yet, he thought she would be the right girl for him to marry. What happens is that we are making a comparison with William and Kate from last year, where they were in the spotlight and their wedding was considered the event of the year. A year passed after the wedding, they returned to the same couple at the time of courtship, but as they are always under the media's focus, most people have observed their behavior. Another thing I noticed too, Kate is more serious at the events and I think this is due to protocol lessons on how the royalty should behave in different occasions. I have also observed the expression of them in the car and actually I had the impression that Kate is too serious, however, in general, she behaves very well and has taken the life of a royal decent and competent manner. Like you, Anonymous, I also hope that William did not make the same mistakes as their parents and he also said that he wanted to spend the rest of his life beside her, and I expect it to happen. We see the couple in some events during the Olympics, where they will be alone, only the couple, without other royals around, then we can look in detail how they are acting with one another. And just to finish, I read some stories that William was probably sorry he married Kate, but in my honest opinion, I think he has no right to regret about this, because he flirted with her for almost 10 years, he knew her very well, and had many opportunities to break up as soon as possible and meet new girls. Why not take this attitude? Why chose to marry Kate? I think it was for love, right? Meanwhile, we are here waiting for "the scenes of the next chapters" ... Kisses!
Oh Ana Laura- I hope you don't take all this crap being written about this beaitiful couple to serious. Just sit back and think that William was not forced to marry Kate nor was is being pressured to get married by anyone. Next he said in his engagement interview that he has learnedfrom his parents mistakes and that his marriage to Kate will last. And I am sure that his grandmother had a good talk with him before he got married telling him that he better br sure that Kate was the one he loved becuase the royal family could not have another divorce.
I am sure that William did not make a mistake when he married the beautiful Kate nor does he think so.
And what does their past night club stuff have to do with their live now? William when out once and got drunk, that does not mean there is trouble with their marriage.
As far as Kate being serois at events, I don't know what pictures you have been looking at but all I have seen is her beautiful smile. And when the two of them are together they are smiles and maybe a few serious looks but that does not mean there is problems.
Go and look at photos from Getty Images, newscom and a few others. Take a look at tthem at Wilbeldon, Opening of the Olympics, polo match and I can go on but these photos tella whole different side of teh royal couple. They will show how happy they are.
So let'd sit back and enjoy their journey together.
Again this is just my opinion.
No, Pauline, you got it wrong, sorry if I wrote in a way that gave the idea to other interpretations. Actually, I was responding to Anonymous, and I just wanted to say that I believe William married Kate for love and what he actually said in the interview of the engagement, did not want to repeat the same mistakes their parents and would like his marriage lasted for the rest of their lives. You're right in that sense. As for my position with respect to the time when they were dating, I'm not coming back to explain, because I do not think feasible, and it is best to seek healthy discussions. You can be sure, Pauline, I really respect your opinions. Kisses!
I am sorry I missed understood what you wrote. I am just tired fof the media writing all this crap about the Duchess and her Prince. And I think you are too.
I just don't understand why they can not leave this beautiful couple alone. I know they are royal but they do have a personal life too. When they are out doing their engagements fine write stories about them, take all the pictures they want but once they are finished don't write crap about their personal business.
I just want you to know Ana Laura that I too respect your opinions and love reading what you have to say. so now let's sit back and enjoy this beautiful couple.
Charlotte, would be interesting if you sent your honest opinion about these rumors that the couple is not real good (the relationship), because I have a friend who lives in England and she said that this rumor is not consistent here. And, as you always so polite and kind to us, I think your opinion is very important. Kisses and excuse me for being, sometimes, rude in my opinions, but it's because I really like the couple and did not want them ended the same way as many other real couples ended.
Ana Laura - To be completely honest the rumours are, in my opinion, completely ridiculous. There is no sense in the UK nor among the press that there is any problem with William and Kate. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Many remarked on the fun they had at Beacon's College and Wimbledon lately. A royal correspondent said William, Kate and Harry appeared to be having great fun at last nights Olympics. A photo is just a split second out of the entire day, they may have been focusing on the show. No couple - no matter how in love, spend 24/7 staring into each others eyes. They were there as Olympic ambassadors and to support Team GB. So, my honest opinion is they are a very happy couple. I just feel *very* sorry for them having their relationship dissected with each photo that comes out.
I so agree with you Charlotte, there is nothing wrong with the relationship of the beautiful Duchess & her Prince. If you look at all the photos that are taken of them in the past few months you will see how much in love they are. I don't know what pictures people are looking at (sorry Ana Laura)but there is nothing in these photos that would say there is trouble in their marriage.
All you have to do is look at the photos from last night and the other day and just see how they look at each other. If there was trouble you would not see them having that look of love between them.
This is just my opinion and how I have looked at the photos.
Thanks Charlotte, your opinion is really very important to us. Kisses!
Cheers and hats off to London for a superb opening ceremony!!! I loved the Queen's fly-in, yet possibly my favorite parts were also the flying bicycle, the winged creatures whizzing around the stadium in the darkness, the smiling torchbearer on David Beckham's speedboat, and most of all the copper leaves brought in by each nation, lit by the next generation of British atheletes, and forming the cauldron! Who could top this lighting of the cauldron at any future Olympics? Perhaps it sets a new trend on the tradition.
I loved the Opening Cememony. Britain put on a great show. Just loved seeing William & his beautiful Duchess together having a great time. But they did look a little tired but they also had one long busy day.
They both looked like they were enjoying eah other and what was going on around them.
Wonder what they thought when their wedding picture was shown, I bet William & his Duchess were red faced...lol I thought it was great of them to show it.
I have read that William has been spotted at a venue, have you heard nor read anything?
The Opening ceremony was absolutely wonderful, magic and amazing! It just took my breath away!
How beautiful are Kate's diamond earrings and how appropriate!
By the way, I would like to share this link with you all. I found these photos really great.
Best regards from the South of France!

GM Apples and Potatoes are 'Safe': FDA
Arctic Apples have 'silenced' genes that prevent them from turning brown when bruised, while genetic modification of Innate potatoes reduces the activity of genes that cause tubers to turn brown.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has completed its evaluation for two varieties of apples genetically engineered by Okanagan Specialty Fruits, Inc., and for six varieties of potatoes genetically engineered by J. R. Simplot Company and concluded that these foods are "as safe and nutritious as their conventional counterparts."
Okanagan's Granny Smith and Golden Delicious varieties of apples, known collectively by the trade name "Arctic Apples," are genetically engineered to resist browning associated with cuts and bruises by reducing levels of enzymes that can cause browning.
Simplot's varieties of Ranger Russet, Russet Burbank and Atlantic potatoes are collectively known by the trade name "Innate" and are genetically engineered to reduce the formation of black spot bruises by lowering the levels of certain enzymes in the potatoes. In addition, they are engineered to produce less acrylamide by lowering the levels of an amino acid called asparagine and by lowering the levels of reducing-sugars. Acrylamide is a chemical that can form in some foods during high-temperature cooking, such as frying, and has been found to be carcinogenic in rodents.
Foods derived from genetically engineered plants must meet the same legal standards, including safety standards, as foods derived from traditional plant breeding methods. Though producers of genetically engineered foods are not compelled to submit their products for FDA approval, both Okanagan, of British Columbia, Canada, and Simplot, of Boise, Idaho, submitted to FDA a summary of their safety and nutritional assessments.
"The consultation process includes a review of information provided by a company about the nature of the molecular changes and the nutritional composition of the food compared to traditionally bred varieties," said Dennis Keefe, Ph.D., director of the FDA's Office of Food Additive Safety. "This case-by-case safety evaluation ensures that food safety issues are resolved prior to commercial distribution."
The changes are expected to make the produce healthier, more palatable and easier to transport and sell without spoilage, and hence result in less food waste. But the approval is expected to spark controversy among critics who argue that genetically modified foods will introduce potentially dangerous unknowns into the American food supply. Okanagan and Simplot may label their products as GMO, something that many consumer groups have advocated for.

The construction sector is highly fragmented with a local character - a large number of small specialised companies typically provide their particular services in a limited local service area. The construction sector is also mobile. Buildings sites are the temporary locations of construction production, so after work on one site is finished, all allocated production capacity will be redistributed to other active buildings sites in different locations.
Buildings are heavy voluminous objects that require large quantities of heavy voluminous materials, along with heavy machinery, scaffolding and other equipment, so every construction project generates a stream of construction freight from a range of sources to the worksite. Construction is also a labour-intensive assembly process, with the workforce commuting daily to the worksite.
The combined activity of the sector contributes a significant part of the traffic volume on the road network, especially in urban areas.

The Soviet Union national football team () was the national football team of the former Soviet Union.

After the breakup of the Union the team was transformed into the CIS national football team. FIFA considers the CIS national football team (and ultimately, the Russia national football team) as the Soviet successor team allocating its former records to them (except for the Olympic records which are not combined due to the IOC policy); nevertheless, a large percentage of the team's former players came from outside the Russian SFSR, mainly from the Ukrainian SSR, and following the breakup of the Soviet Union, some such as Andrei Kanchelskis from the former Ukrainian SSR, continued to play in the new Russia national football team.

The Soviet Union failed to qualify for the World Cup only twice, in 1974 and 1978, and attended seven finals tournaments in total. Their best finish was fourth in 1966, when they lost to West Germany in the semifinals, 2–1. The Soviet Union qualified for five European Championships, winning the inaugural competition in 1960 when they beat Yugoslavia in the final, 2–1. They finished second three times (1964, 1972, 1988), and fourth once (1968), when, having drawn with Italy in the semi-final, they were sent to the third-place playoff match by the loss of a coin toss. The Soviet Union national team also participated in a number of Olympic tournaments earning the gold medal in 1956 and 1988. The Soviet team continued to field its national team players in Olympic tournaments despite the prohibition of FIFA in 1958 to field any national team players in Olympics (players in the Olympics were required to be amateurs at the time, the Soviets effectively bent the rules by listing their best players in the military).

History

First games

Because of the circumstances, surrounding October Revolution and later the 1917–1922 Russian Civil War, Soviet Russia was internationally diplomatically isolated, making it unable to participate in the international competitions. In 1922, Soviet Russia, along with its occupation administrations in neighbouring countries, founded the Bolshevik state of the Soviet Union. After the civil war, the Soviet Union managed to establish international communication with politically similar factions in Europe and around the globe. The Soviet Union joined the Red Sport International proclaiming any sports events outside of the RSI to be "part of the bourgeoisie".

The first international match played by a Soviet team (as the Russian SFSR) came in September 1922, when the Finnish Workers' Sports Federation football team toured Russia (Russia formed the Soviet Union at the end of December 1922, Treaty on the Creation of the USSR). The Soviet Russia XI scored a 4–1 victory over the Finns in Petrograd. This was also the first international contact for Soviet sports after the 1917 October Revolution. In May 1923, the Soviet team visited Finland and beat the Finnish squad 5–0. The first match against national team was played in August 1923, nine months after the establishment of the Soviet Union, when a Russian SFSR team beat Sweden 2–1 in Stockholm.

The first match as the actual Soviet Union football team took place a year later, a 3–0 win over Turkey. This and a return match in Ankara were the only officially recognised international matches played by the Soviet Union prior to the 1952 Summer Olympics, though several unofficial friendlies against Turkey took place in the 1930s. The 1952 Olympics was the first competitive tournament entered by the Soviet Union. In the preliminary round, Bulgaria were defeated 2–1, earning a first-round tie against Yugoslavia. Before the match, both Tito and Stalin sent telegrams to their national teams, which showed just how important it was for the two heads of state. Yugoslavia led 5–1, but a Soviet comeback in the last 15 minutes resulted in a 5–5 draw. The match was replayed, Yugoslavia winning 3–1. The defeat to the archrivals hit Soviet football hard, and after just three games played in the season, CSKA Moscow, who had made up most of the USSR squad, was forced to withdraw from the league and later disbanded. Furthermore, Boris Arkadiev, who coached both USSR and CSKA, was stripped of his Merited Master of Sports of the USSR title.

Sweden trials and the triumph
The Soviet Union, coached by Gavriil Khachalin, entered the World Cup for the first time at the 1958 tournament, following a qualification playoff against Poland. Drawn in a group with Brazil, England, and Austria, they collected three points in total, one from England and two from Austria. The Soviet Union and England went to a playoff game, in which Anatoli Ilyin scored in the 67th minute to knock England out. The Soviet Union was then eliminated by the hosts of the tournament, Sweden, in the quarter-finals.

The inaugural European Championships in 1960 marked the pinnacle of Soviet footballing achievement. Easily progressing to the quarter-finals, the team were scheduled to face Spain, but due to the tensions of the Cold War, Spain refused to travel to the Soviet Union, resulting in a walkover. In the semi-final, the Soviet team defeated Czechoslovakia 3–0 and reached the final, where they faced Yugoslavia.

In the final, Yugoslavia scored first, but the Soviet Union, led by legendary goalkeeper Lev Yashin, equalized in the 49th minute. After 90 minutes the score was 1–1, and Viktor Ponedelnik scored with seven minutes left in extra time to give the Soviets the inaugural European Championship.

The end of Kachalin's dream-team

In the 1962 World Cup, the Soviet team was in Group 1 with Yugoslavia, Colombia, and Uruguay. The match between the Soviet Union and Colombia ended 4–4; Colombia scored a series of goals (68', 72', 86'). Star goalkeeper Lev Yashin was in poor form both against Colombia and Chile. His form was considered one of the main reasons why the Soviet Union team did not gain more success in the tournament.

In 1964, the Soviet Union attempted to defend their European Championship title, defeating Italy in the last 16 (2–0, 1–1) and to reach the quarter-finals. After two matches against Sweden, the Soviet side won on aggregate (1–1, 3–1). The Soviet Union team went to Spain where the finals were held. In the semi-finals, the Soviet Union defeated Denmark 3–0 in Barcelona but their dreams of winning the title again were dashed in the final when Spain, the host, scored a late goal, winning 2–1.

The late 1960s: Semi-finals at World Cup and European Championships
The 1966 FIFA World Cup was the tournament in which the Soviet Union team reached their best result by finishing in fourth place. The Soviet Union was in Group 4 with North Korea, Italy and Chile. In all three matches, the Soviet Union team managed to defeat their rivals. The Soviet team then defeated Hungary in the quarter-finals thanks to the effective performance of their star, Lev Yashin but their success was ended by two defeats on 25 and 28 July, against West Germany in the semi-finals and Portugal in the third-place playoff match, respectively. The 1966 squad was the second-best scoring Soviet team in World Cup history, with 10 goals.

For the Euro 1968, the qualification competition was played in two stages; a group stage (taking place from 1966 until 1968) and the quarter-finals (played in 1968). Again, only four teams could reach the finals which were held in Italy. The semi-final match between the Soviet Union and Italy ended 0–0. It was decided to toss a coin to see who reached the final, rather than play a replay. Italy won, and went on to become European champions. On 8 June 1968, the Soviets were defeated by England in the third-place match.

Kachalin's second attempt
The 1970 World Cup started with the match between Mexico and the Soviet Union. The Soviet team became the first team to make a substitution in World Cup history in this match. Other opponents in their group were Belgium and El Salvador. The Soviet team easily qualified to the quarter-final where they lost against Uruguay in extra time. This was the last time the Soviet Union reached the quarter-finals. They were able to obtain 5th place in the rankings which FIFA released in 1986.

The final tournament of the 1972 European Championships took place between 14 and 18 June 1972. Again, only four teams were in the finals. The Soviets defeated Hungary 1–0, with a second-half goal. The final was between West Germany and the Soviet Union. The match ended with a victory of the German side thanks to the effective football of Gerd Müller. This tournament was one of the two tournaments in which the Soviet Union finished as runner-up.

Failures to qualify in the 1970s

After being runners up at Euro 1972, the rest of the 1970s were bleak for the Soviets, who were disqualified from the 1974 World Cup as a result of a refusal to play Chile in the aftermath of the 1973 Chilean coup d'état and failed to qualify for the 1978 World Cup or the 1976 and 1980 European Championships.

Beskov recovers the team

The 1982 World Cup was the Soviet Union's first major tournament appearance for a decade. The Soviet Union was in Group 6 with Brazil, Scotland, and New Zealand. Goals by Socrates and Eder marked the defeat of the Soviet side against Brazil in the first group match (even though it was a very hard match for the Brazilians), and they were eventually eliminated in the second round by finishing the group in second place when they defeated Belgium only 1–0 and drew against Poland with an 0–0 results. In 1984, the Soviets again failed to qualify for the European Championships, but succeeded in qualifying for the 1986 World Cup. The Soviet Union was in Group C with Hungary, France, and Canada. The Soviets used Irapuato, Guanajuato as their training ground in the World Cup.

The Soviet team enjoyed a successful group stage by scoring nine goals and finishing the group in first place. Ultimately, however, they lost to Belgium 3–4 after extra time in the round of 16. Despite their poor performance in the cup, this team was the best scoring Soviet team in World Cup history, with 12 goals.

Lobanovsky era and demise of Soviet Union
After failing to qualify for three consecutive European Cups (1976, 1980, 1984), the Soviets managed to qualify for the 1988 competition, the last time the Soviet Union national football team took part in the European Football Championship. The finals were held in West Germany, with eight teams participating. Soviet Union finished Group B as leaders above the Netherlands and defeated Italy 2–0 in the semi-final. In the final against the Netherlands, another team from Group B, the Netherlands avenged their group stage defeat, winning by a score of 2–0 to be crowned European champions.

The final major championship contested by the Soviet team was the 1990 FIFA World Cup, where they were drawn in Group B with Argentina, Romania and Cameroon. The only success for the Soviets came when they defeated group leaders Cameroon 4–0. The Soviets lost their other matches and failed to qualify from the group. The Soviet Union qualified for Euro 1992, but the breakup of the Soviet Union meant that their place was instead taken by the CIS national football team, composed of newly independent Soviet republics. After the tournament, the former Soviet republics competed as separate independent nations, with FIFA allocating the Soviet team's record to Russia.

Kit evolution

The Soviet Union traditionally wore red jerseys with white shorts and red socks.

Home stadium
Since Soviet's first fixture (16 November 1924 vs. Turkey) they have played their home games at various stadiums.

Statistics include official FIFA-recognised matches only.

Note:
 Although never used by either the Soviet Union national football team nor Soviet Union Olympic football team, Dinamo Stadium in Minsk was designated as the official stadium for the 1980 Summer Olympics.

Coaching history

Notes:
 The game that took place on 21 November 1973 between the national team of Chile and missing side did not go on record of Yevgeny Goryansky.
 The 1980 USSR Olympic roster (coach – Beskov) was identical with the senior team that competed in qualification tournaments in 1979–1981.
 In 1985–1989 the national team competed in the annual Nehru Cup (India).
 The 1st coaching staff consisted of Valeriy Lobanovsky (leading), Yuri Morozov and Sergei Mosyagin.
 The 2nd coaching staff consisted of Anatoly Byshovets (leading), Vladimir Salkov and Gadzhi Gadzhiyev.

Reynolds Creek has its source in national park in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range. Along with its tributary, Coulson Creek, it feeds the seldom filled Lake Moogerah. It joins Warrill Creek just west of Kalbar. An issue for this subcatchment is weeds such as Cat's Claw, Chinese Elm and Giant Rats Tail strangling the streambank vegetation.


There are many devices used to determine the speed of a vehicle. They can be used when an officer's car is stationary or if it is moving. An important tool are radars. Radars use sound waves to pursue radio waves that bounce off other vehicles. The time that it takes those waves to travel from the vehicle back to the radar gun calculates how fast the vehicle was going. The police officer aims their radar gun at the vehicle and pulls the trigger, sending out radio waves. Then the radio waves come back to the radar gun, calculating how fast the vehicle was going. Other important tools include LIDAR and speed cameras. If you have been given a speeding ticket in Virginia Beach you should contact an experienced traffic lawyer, who can fight to get your ticket dropped.
Radar detectors are generally located in front of the car by the driver. Again, they are illegal in Virginia. Radar presents a speed rounded up to the mile. If radar detected someone driving 91.5 miles per hour, the radar would round up to 92 miles per hour. Judges put a lot of stock into what the radar gun says, especially because they are calibrated regularly. If a police officer testifies that their radar gun read that the driver was going a certain speed, the person will find that evidence harder to overcome.
Police Officers have to be certified in how to use radar guns correctly. They are given an owner's manual, receive training in the operation of the equipment, and are required to have it calibrated at least every six months with the Virginia Department of Forensic Science.
When the police officer takes their radar equipment or their radar gun to be calibrated with the Virginia Department Forensic Science, they give them a printout. They are generally calibrated to within one mile. The police officer, depending on the jurisdiction, will keep their printouts with them. In other jurisdictions, the printouts are on file with the Court. A specific binder has a list all of the police officers who regularly work on the road and all of their calibrations. As to the daily calibrations that are required, there's no printout of that. The police officer has to testify that they calibrated their radar gun before and after their shift and that it was working properly.
The main source of error is user error. If the police officer did not use the radar correctly, did not properly turn it on, did not accurately lock it onto a person's vehicle, or had the vehicle in the beam or forgot to calibrate it with the tuning forks before or after their shift, then that counts as user error. Another source of error could be vehicles in the beam associated with heavy traffic – other cars that interfere with the reading that the officer gets. Also, other radio waves could cause the radar to measure the speed wrong.
Another type of speed detection device in Virginia Beach is LIDAR. It is used to determine the speed of a vehicle. It is a newer method, not quite as prevalent as radar guns yet, but most troopers are using LIDAR.
Once the police officer sees a person's vehicle and determines they are speeding, they will aim the LIDAR at the person's car. It is similar to a laser, but it is radar instead with a wider beam. It is more specific to a person's vehicle. The police officer knows the distance between two points, the time it takes to get from one point to another, and then determines the velocity. LIDAR is very specific.
LIDAR are given the same reading as radar guns. They are calibrated every six months and judges will be more partial to technology. When the police officer states their laser was calibrated and was working properly, and read he was traveling 80 miles an hour, the judge will likely believe that.
Another type of speed detection device in Virginia Beach is Speed cameras are not used too much in Virginia Beach. More common are red light cameras. There may be some speeding cameras in the area, but they are not used frequently in this region.
Speed cameras have radar equipment that measures how fast a person was going. It determines a person's velocity based on how far away he is from the camera, how long it took for that signal to return. As a person moves past the camera, the sensors capture the vehicle.
If a person is traveling 50 in a 45 zone, it is unlikely they will be caught on a speed camera. However, once a person is more than 10 miles over the speed limit, that will register on a speed camera. The specific speed is calibrated for that specific camera. They are as accurate as the radar equipment attached to them. They have to be calibrated periodically to remain accurate.
Someone that has been given a speeding ticket and would like to fight the charge, should contact an experienced speeding ticket lawyer. A local attorney knows exactly what they need to know to defend a case.


In light of the ongoing War on Christianity, the Anglican Internet Church Bookstore offers a new book which can help any Christian defend himself or herself against the assaults of the aggressively secular and often anti-Christian world. The paperback edition will be available later this week from my Author page at Amazon. A Kindle edition will be prepared later this month and also be available on Amazon.com. In the next few weeks the paperback edition will be available through your local bookseller (ISBN: 978-1502765147).
Christian Spirituality: an Anglican Perspective is a handbook to the Eastern Church concept of Christian Spirituality presented in the context of the Anglican teaching and worship experience. In Part One I introduce the topic and present the writings of Archbishop Thomas Cranmer and the Blessed Lancelot Andrewes as examples of Christian Spirituality applied to Anglican worship and prayer. In Part Two ("Seeing" the Invisible God) I explore the two Old Testament understandings of "face of the Lord" and present the Christ Pantokrator icon from the monastery of St. Catherine in Sinai as the New Testament way of "seeing" God; then explore a new spiritual way of "seeing." In Part Three (Blessed Is the Man…) I explore the meaning and uses of Blessed is, blessed are, blessed be in the Psalms and New Testament, and the meaning of key terms: godly, ungodly, righteous, righteousness, heart, fear of the Lord and way(s). In Part Four (Put Not Your Trust in Princes…) I offer practical applications of the theory of Christian Spirituality in a 21st Century context of obsession with excess and offer guidelines for personal prayer development, the writing of personal catenae, and explore examples of Apostolic Wisdom, demonstrated in the work of two pairs of saints: Paul & Peter and James & Jude.
Later this year I will develop a series of short videos adapted from the book, focused on specific topics mentioned in the book. These will be available free of charge on the AIC's You Tube channel. Also later this year, the AIC will offer a new series of videos intended to make it easier for anyone, anywhere, to pray the daily hours (offices) of 1st, 3rd, 6th and 9th Hours, plus Vespers and Compline from Hear Us, O Lord: Daily Prayers for the Laity (also available from my Amazon author page).

Learning from the experts: World Cultures classes takes a field trip to the library
Students listen intently to one of the experts brought in to speak about their religion for the World Cultures field trip.
Meghan Warner, Staff Writer
World Cultures classes not only learned from their teachers this unit, but from fellow students and experts during their field trip as well.
According to Michael Kaufman, World Cultures teacher, him and Meghan Reynolds, another World Culture teacher, set-up a handful of experts to come to the library during periods six through eight where students could rotate through them and ask them any questions they had.
"The main reason the experts to [came] was for students to get a lot more in-depth information about the religions that Mrs. Reynolds, the groups, or I couldn't teach them," Kaufman said. "We brought the experts from each religion in, sat them in the library, and let the students move from presenter to presenter to ask any questions they [had]. It's just a way to help students get a firmer grasp on the religions."
According to Kaufman, religion plays a major role in one's identity, which is why they dedicated a whole unit and field trip to the topic itself.
"For this unit, [the students] really do the teaching. They do research and then they come up with presentations to teach the class about one of their assigned religions," Michael Kaufman, World Religions teacher, said. "The presentations were based off of the five major world religions Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. They have one week to research, and then have to divide the twelve areas of concentration among the group members."
Many students attended the field trip and learned a lot to help better their understanding of the religions, according to Olivia Paparone, freshman World Cultures student. The main idea of the entire unit was to help answer the essential question: How does one's culture shape their identity?
"This field trip was really unique because we got to discuss and ask questions about these religions to those who practice the religion and have grown up with it," Paparone said. "These weren't just people stating facts, they were relating it back to their real life experiences and feelings."
Overall, according to Paparone, the thing she enjoyed most about the field trip was that she was able to learn that we all have "really similar beliefs."
"We all just want to believe that we aren't alone and that we all have a greater purpose," Paparone said. "It was really cool learning that we all have really similar beliefs, despite that many people think we're all very different."
As a sophomore, this is Meghan's second year as a staff writer on Bear Facts Student Media. She aspires to go to college at UNC Chapel Hill, in hopes...

Trisha Yearwood to Celebrate 'Every Girl' with Album Release Party
posted by Taylor Fields - Aug 23, 2019
After over a decade, Trisha Yearwood has finally returned with a brand new country album, Every Girl. So, the country star is celebrating big with an intimate show in Los Angeles during her iHeartCountry Album Release Party on September 5th.
Every Girl is Yearwood's first country studio album since 2007's Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love. The new music also follows her 2016 collaborative holiday album Christmas Together with husband Garth Brooks, and her Frank Sinatra tribute album, Let's Be Frank, released in 2018. Every Girl includes 14 new songs, including guest appearances from artists like Brooks, Kelly Clarkson, Patty Loveless and Don Henley.
Yearwood previously told iHeartRadio of the making of her yet-to-be-titled new album, "I listen to thousands of songs trying to find those 10 or 12. We ended up with 14 on this record because I couldn't get rid of anything. I've never gone into an album saying this is the record I want to make. And if I ever have, if I ever thought I had an idea about the kind of record I wanted to make, it was never the same record it ended up being. So, I think the songs really take you down that path and they tell the story. You just find songs that, for me, they're songs that move me that I believe and then hopefully you'll believe them too, if I do. And then a theme kind of emerges. There are a lot of different kinds of songs on this album that people will hear when you hear the whole thing. But you don't hear anything on the record and go, 'Why is that on here?' They all somehow thread together, and 'Every Girl in This Town' just kind of emerged as the song that seemed to be what should be the first single. It wasn't recorded to be a single, it wasn't recorded even thinking about that. It was just like, we like this song, but it just kind of found its way to the top of the pile."
How To Stream The Show
Fans can listen and tune in free for a video stream of the exclusive iHeartCountry Album Release Party with Trisha Yearwood: Celebrating the launch of Every Girl on Thursday, September 5th at 10pm ET/7pm PT via LiveXLive.
Get pumped for the show and listen to some of Trisha Yearwood's new single "Every Girl in This Town" below.


Umit Benan Won't Shave for A Job, OK?
Reject comfort for a better future.
I have just completed my internship at Trussardi.
Remember the finale song at Trussardi women's show :) ROAD TO NOWHERE. No wonder why I love Talking Heads so much.
That first tweet comes a day after he showed his fall/winter 2013 women's collection (which was well-received), and while they are all telling, the last one is most curious. Could Benan's position at the house been lost over his signature facial hair? Probably not. But if so, have the higher-ups a Trussardi not heard that beards are not only healthy, they were also a major red carpet trend at the Oscars? So, if Benan did, in fact, lose his job over his whiskers, we're standing behind him — the man carries it off with just the right amount of brio. Long live the beard, we say.

Man, 91, Who Said There's 'No Point Dying Now' Gets Second Dose Of Vaccine
by : Emily Brown on : 05 Jan 2021 18:44
Man, 91, Who Said There's 'No Point Dying Now' Gets Second Dose Of Vaccine CNN
An elderly man who pointed out there was 'no point in dying now' after he reached the grand age of 91 has received his second dose of the coronavirus vaccine.
Martin Kenyon received his second dose of the jab on December 29 at Guy's Hospital in London after getting the first dose on December 8.
Kenyon was among the first to receive the vaccine when the UK started rolling it out last month, and he made headlines after pointing out that he didn't want to fall victim to the virus after making it so far in life.
Check out a clip of his interview below:
Speaking to CNN after receiving the first dose of the vaccine, the 91-year-old expressed his hopes that he was 'not going to have the bloody bug now'.
I don't intend to have [coronavirus] because I've got granddaughters and I want to live a long time to enjoy their lives.
There's no point dying now when I've lived this long.
After the interview went live, Kenyon was dubbed a 'national treasure' for his straight-talking comments. He went viral and became the subject of more interviews, during which gained even more fans when he asked Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan, 'Who are you?'.
Despite his newfound fame, Kenyon has described all the attention he's been getting as 'nonsense'.
Throughout his life, Kenyon was very active in the anti-apartheid movement, was friends with Desmond Tutu, and personally met Martin Luther King Jr and Nelson Mandela, The Guardian reports.
After initially cold-calling Guy's Hospital to ask for the first dose of the vaccine, Kenyon said the vaccination process has become 'quite a machine'.
He explained:
When I went to get the first one, I was the only person there, I think. There was one man there, with a pencil and some paper and writing down a few names. This time it was very different. Very efficient.
This time, I was able to park absolutely outside the main building in a special slot. So, all was well. It was very painless.
Martin Kenyon CNN
Kenyon expressed his glee at being able to park his 'super little car' that he's 'allowed to drive everywhere around London, because [he has] a badge, which is brilliant', and said that receiving the second dose of the vaccine means he can now hug his two 'enchanting' grandchildren.
Per The Guardian, he said:
Now, I don't have to think about it again. It's all done. I am going to survive, and I'm looking at lovely pictures of my two delightful daughters and my two enchanting grandchildren [aged seven and 10]. They are very nice children, and they love their grandfather.
Kenyon plans to continue wearing a mask as he was given a 'rather fancy one' for his birthday, but he acknowledged that he will soon be immune and he doesn't think he'll 'pass anything on to anybody else'.
I think all will be well. And my family are very pleased.
I suppose it means I can do all sorts of things now. I can behave badly, now. I do most of the time, but generally in secret. I am, of course, being very frivolous. But it's new year, and I think we've got to cheer it up a bit.

The bands second CD was released in november 2014. The CD contains 12 pieces of music – nice songs and pure meditative music.
In 2008 we made a CD to support our good friend Tiago – a instrumental music-CD.
Michael Barnett's Meditations are designed to connect you with hidden sources of energy, within and without, and then to utilize these powerful energies to clear the system of blocks, and obstacles to the free-flowing life. Slowly and steadily the connection with these powerful hidden sources becomes stronger and stronger, and can eventually become permanent, part of the personal life.
The two "classics": Body Flow Meditation and Soma Meditation, also contains music by serval of band-members.

Tom Baugher is building a 15ft. center console power boat in his backyard. What is so remarkable is that Tom has built the boat totally outdoors without any roof or sidewalls to shelter the construction. He had to plan around rain, snow, cold, and the noise he might make. That's the way he has been working on it for the past four years.
Tom's home sits on a narrow city lot, a block from the Goodyear blimp airport. His single car garage space is devoted to lumber, yard maintenance and woodworking tools. No room for a car, what's more a boat. But he did have a narrow outdoor space next to the garage. And that's where he began.
The reflection of the ladder shows off the flawlessly smooth finish of the topsides.
Tom started building the Alamitos 15ft. vee bottom dory on a flat bed trailer similar to those used by landscapers. He screwed the strongback to the trailer's plywood bed and built from there. A large heavy tarp, bungee cords and easily bent wires secured the developing boat from the elements.
The hull is built of ½" marine plywood sheathed in fiberglass cloth set in epoxy. The boat designer, Spira International, specified easily sourced materials such as conventional 2 X4s for much of the framing. Once the hull was painted and ready for the interior work, Tom's neighbors helped him turn the hull and move it onto a conventional boat trailer.
The center console took shape indoors during the winter and rainy weather.
When the weather wasn't cooperative, Tom worked indoors on the console. He sourced a complete gauge package and sized the console to his personal preferences and requirements. He found a used 70 horse engine, mounted it, and rebuilt the engine control unit in his basement.
The remaining construction will be a long downhill run. Flotation, decks, and a floor have to be added, then wiring and installation of the console. As for a timetable for launch, Tom is mum. He's having fun and to him that's all that counts.
