In India, or at least the part where my family comes from, when you wear even one small piece of clothing that's the slightest bit fancy or expensive, a grandmother or aunt would point at you saying, "dekh lo, ye fashion kar rahi hai". This would roughly translate to, "look at this girl, doing fashion." I would say this phrase goes hand in hand with another common phrase I've heard from grandmothers and aunts, "angrez bann gayi, yeh ladki!" They would say this with a severely offended tone whenever me, an Indian-American, would do something that they consider non-Indian, saying, "this shameful girl, she has turned into an American." According to my family back home, two of the most disgraceful things someone could do are, one, fashion, and two, being American.
According to my over analysis of my relationship with fashion, this was probably the starting point of me trying to move away from it. That, and living with two brothers who were constantly trying to belittle me and shame me of my femininity. Though, fashion, of course, isn't just for women. Because of the factors introduced to me at a very young and impressionable age, I became a confused, half 'angrez', half desi 'tomboy'. My wardrobe consisted of XL graphic t-shirts and my brother's hand-me-down pants. I assumed wearing cool skirts and shoes would make me too feminine, too 'angrez', too noticeable.
Tomboys (at least one facet for what I percieved as a tomboy) want to reject beauty standards that were pushed upon women. When people asked me, back when I went through this phase, if I were a tomboy, I would reluctantly answer, "yes." Reluctantly because, for me, it wasn't all about that. I didn't just want to reject beauty standards women faced, I wanted to reject femininity and feminism as a whole, I wanted to reject my Indian heritage that I was so ashamed of, I wanted to reject myself. I wanted to camouflage into the sea of white I was always surrounded by; I just wanted to assimilate into western society, but by trying so hard I ended up, instead, hiding in the shadows, becoming less confident as the days flew by.
Time did pass, slowly and painfully, and other aspects of my life began to stabilise. After a full five years of this sort-of-tomboy, self-loathing phase, I was ready to start exploring my fashion choices and finally caring about what I looked like. But when I went on to websites and flipped through magazines, I saw zero women who looked like me, or even one aspect of me: a short, heavy, hairy, brown skinned woman. Even when I went through Indian designers' websites, the women didn't look like me. Although they were brown skinned (some barely brown passing), they were the embodiment of the western standard of beauty. Long, straight hair, pale skin, slim bodies, and extremely tall.
Representation is a form of validation for the 'others'; the minorities and for the bullied. I thought that if no one like me wore clothes I saw in fashion magazines, then I shouldn't wear them because they would look horrible on me.
As a side note, I thank social media for noticing this issue, especially good body positivity accounts that personally helped me. I feel hopeful enough to say that by the time the next generation is being born, they will hopefully never feel like they can't express themselves through fashion and art.
So, through various Instagram accounts and long, tear-felt talks with my mother, I slowly started to get comfortable with myself. I started wearing short shorts again in the summer, after seven years. My sense of fashion came from was what everyone else was wearing, and in the New York City high school I went to, it was just skin-tight leggings and a top from a generic store. I hated this: it was pricey, boring and I was not completely comfortable with my brown, thick body (I still am not).
The other issue was that everyone who knew me, knew the 'tomboy' old me. They couldn't, even if they tried hard, really accept the new and improved me. The thing is, when your friends, who may or may not love you unconditionally, have seen you at your all time worst. They, whether or not they'd like to admit it, have a lot of power over you and your identity. So as you graduate and evolve from the dark times you went through, your friends still see you as the depressed, chubby brown girl who wore garbage bags to school. But I realised I couldn't suppress my true self for the sake of a few people, who I may never speak to in a few years.
For a non-South Asian, this probably would have been the end of their relationship with fashion and self-acceptance. For me, someone who was surrounded by a world of explosive coloured saris, lehngas, palazzos and salwars all throughout her life, this was just the beginning. I think Western clothing looks terrible on my short, Punjabi body; I wanted to wear lehngas that Deepika Padukone wore in Bajirao Mastani.
I wanted to wear tikkas and bindis, I wanted to walk with my mehndi covered hands swinging in the air.
This was what I was used to when growing up, spending so much time in India. I wanted to decolonise my wardrobe, long before I knew there was an entire generation of South Asians from Western countries trying to do this exact thing.
Discussing fashion with my non-South Asian friends is difficult. They always ask me why I take my clothing choices so seriously and their criticism to heart. It's because fashion is not just what I choose to wear on my body that looks aesthetically pleasing, fashion is another outlet of embracing my culture, it's putting a visible declaration on display for everyone to see: "I am Indian and proud." The clothes I wear are a second skin of brown, another added layer of acceptance. It's my identity, my astitva.

Twenty years ago [1997-04-21], one of the most memorable ads of all time was launched, when Rachael Leigh Cook and her frying pan starting smashing up eggs in her infamous "This is Your Brain on Drugs" ad.
Today, Rachael Leigh Cook, her frying pan, and eggs are back but this time in a new ad that slams the drug war and its racist enforcement.
The animated ad, narrated by Cook, then shows what happens to the brown egg that is arrested and funneled through the criminal justice system. The ad highlights a range of harmful collateral consequences that result from drug arrest, including the loss of student financial aid, hindered job prospects and broken up families. The add[sic] contrasts the white egg's family that was never arrested, despite also using drugs.
The ad ends with Cook looking into the camera, holding her pan and [...] a smashed egg, and saying, "The war on drugs is ruining peoples' lives. It fuels mass incarceration, it targets people of color in greater numbers than their white counter parts. It cripples communities, it costs billions, and it doesn't work. Any questions?"

Several moms met at the Sedgwick County Zoo this morning. I was worried it was going to be a miserable day - though nothing compares to the 100+ degree day we had last year! It was warm, but it is summer and with the breeze, it wasn't too bad!
A few of us stayed for lunch in the Gorilla picnic area and rode the tram before heading to Braums for some refreshing ice cream!

It's Oscar time again and it has been a roller coaster of a year with no clear front-runner for best picture and several of the categories ripe for potential upsets. While not as strong a line up of films as last year, there are still some great films and performances that will make for a very exciting night. Here are what I see as the most likely winners and of course who the winners should be.
Some acronyms: SAG (Screen Actors Award) BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) DGA (Directors Guild of America) PGA (Producers Guild of American).
Analysis: Jared Leto has swept the majority of the critic awards including the Critics' Choice Award, The Golden Globe, and the SAG. The momentum for him has been overwhelming, add to that his film did a lot better than expected, nomination wise, getting into Best Picture, Best Editing and Best Screenplay, and his own personal narrative about taking a five year break before his return to acting for this film. This combination will be hard to beat.
Personal Bias: This is very good lineup of nominees, with the exception of Bradley Cooper, who had several character quirks but no real depth or connection with any of the other characters, which is the problem I had with all the acting performances in American Hustle. So, to save time in the other acting categories, I will refer you back here for my bias. Jonah Hill did solid work playing off of DiCaprio, but not going beyond that. Leto does good work getting us into the world of a transgender individual, but I thought he was overshadowed by Matthew McConaughey and didn't leave the impact that his praise has gotten. Barkhad Abdi did magnificent work for his first role showing the pressures a Somali pirate has in his home country while also being terrifying. Yet I do not understand how Michael Fassbender hasn't swept this year. He creates one of the most horrifying characters this year while also getting into the deeper levels of his own self loathing. I couldn't take my eyes off him and he left the greatest impact of any of the characters in this intense, brilliant film.
Personal Bias: Julia Roberts was the most bland character for me in a film. I hated Jennifer Lawrence (See Supporting Actor). June Squibb played the inappropriate older women well and was a nice source of humor in Nebraska, but did little else for me. Sally Hawkins was a wonderful surprise nomination, being a great contrast to the insanity of Cate Blanchett, holding her own against Blanchett, while having her own intriguing narrative. Lupita Nyong'o didn't blow me away as best in the film like she did for many others, but she brings another level to the slavery narrative of the sexually and physically abused slave and she does it with the strength of a seasoned actress. If that doesn't deserve recognition what does?


Now that daylights savings time is a little more than a week away I feel we are finally in autumn. As much as I love Indian summer days, the crispness of fall puts me in the mood to bake. This is the time of year I get excited about caramel. I use it all year round but it really shines and shows all its complexities when it is paired with pumpkin, apple, pears and other fall flavors. It is remarkable something so much a part of the pastry palate is just sugar and water. Home cooks are reticent about making caramel but once you learn how to do it a whole pastry world opens up- crème caramel, caramel pot de crème, caramel ice cream, apple caramel bread pudding- the list goes on and on. And that doesn't even include caramel sauce and all its variations- caramel coffee, caramel peanut butter, caramel chocolate, caramel apple, caramel calvados, caramel ginger, caramel pineapple etc etc.
Whatever you make with caramel you start at the same place- cooking sugar until it is an amber color. Most French (and some American) pastry chefs make a "dry caramel". This is made without water. I avoid making dry caramel as it has a higher chance of cooking unevenly and burning. Adding water takes a few minutes longer (the water has to cook off before the sugar can cook) but it is much easier.
Increase to medium high (or high heat if your stove isn't that powerful) and cook, without stirring, until the sugar is amber colored. This will take anywhere from 3-8 minutes depending on how much you are making and how high the heat is. While it is cooking put your oven mitts on. The caramel will first start to get colored around the edges. At this point swirl the pot gently to evenly distribute the part that is more colored. Once it is a rich deep amber color, turn off the heat. (If you have an electric stove, remove the pot from the burner as the residual heat will keep cooking the caramel.) Acting quickly, pour in about 3 tablespoons of the cream. You want to add it right after you take the pot off of the heat as the caramel will keep cooking and getting darker even though the heat source is turned off. Be careful as the caramel will sputter as the cream is added. Once you have added the cream, using a wooden spoon or heat resistant spatula, stir it in. If the cream sputters a lot, stop stirring. Let the bubbles subside and then stir again. Carefully add the remaining cream. As you add more cream and the caramel cools down you can add it more quickly. Stir until combined. Let cool slightly (should still be warm) and whisk in the butter. This allows the butter to be emulsified into the sauce rather than melt in.
The trick is to get the caramel at just the right color. Too light and your sauce will be thin and more tan in color. Too dark and it will have a bitter taste. Once you have made it a couple of times you will get the hang of it.
Here's one of the best pastry tricks I know. Cleaning caramel pots can be dfficult when the caramel sticks to the sides of the pot. For quick clean up fill the pot half with water and bring it to a boil. The hot water will dissolve the hard caramel. Similarly, if you burn the caramel and need it to stop cooking so you can get rid of it, add a couple cups of water, carefully at first, just as when you add the cream, to dilute it and stir to combine. This mixture can be poured down the sink.
Now that I have walked you through making caramel sauce here's my recipe. Use your imagination to decide what to serve it with. Sometimes I don't get past vanilla ice cream but who would argue with that as long as there are some warm toasted sliced almonds and bittersweet chocolate chunks.
What's your favorite thing to serve caramel with?
Stir together the sugar and the water in a medium saucepan. Heat the sugar over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Brush the insides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in water to eliminate any sugar sticking to the sides. Increase to high heat and cook, without stirring, until the sugar is amber colored, 3-5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat. Wearing oven mitts, slowly add a little bit of the cream. Be careful as the caramel will sputter as the cream is added. Using a wooden spoon or heat resistant spatula, stir the cream into the caramel. If the cream sputters, stop stirring. Let the bubbles subside and then stir again. Carefully add the remaining cream. Stir until combined. Let cool slightly (should still be warm) and whisk in the butter. Keep refrigerated for weeks if it lasts that long.

MAYBE IF HOLLYWOOD HAD SPENT LESS TIME DEFENDING ITS OWN STALINISTS...:
Based on a True Story …: The Way Back is Hollywood's first film about the Soviet Gulag. (Anne Applebaum, Jan. 24, 2011, Slate)
For The Way Back is a unique and groundbreaking film: It represents Hollywood's first attempt, ever, to portray the Soviet Gulag in meticulously researched detail. I know this to be true because I was a historical consultant to Weir. He asked me for advice because I wrote a book about the Gulag, but he did plenty of research on his own, as his questions reflected. Once, he called to ask whether the guards leading the prisoners off the train would have been wearing the same uniforms as the guards receiving them at the camp. (Answer: no.)
The Way Back is based on a book called The Long Walk, by Slawomir Rawicz, a Gulag survivor who "borrowed" his escape story: Three Poles crossed the Himalayas from Siberia into India in the 1940s; the Polish consulate recorded their arrival; one of them told his story to Rawicz. But the film is true in every way that matters. Many of the camp scenes are taken directly from Soviet archives and memoirs. The starving men scrambling for garbage, the tattooed criminals playing cards for the clothes of other prisoners, the narrow barracks, the logging camp, the vicious Siberian storms. Among the very plausible characters are an American who went to work on the Moscow subway and fell victim to the Great Terror of 1937, a Polish officer arrested after the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939, and a Latvian priest whose church was destroyed by the Bolsheviks.
These scenes and people are realistic. But they are definitely not familiar. I've found at least one review that situates the story during "Hitler's reign over Poland," failing to note that Stalin reigned over Poland then, too. I've also read complaints about the lack of sexual tension between the escaped convicts and the teenage girl they pick up along the way ("the real-life threat of rape never appears"). But in "real life," these rough-looking men were from nice central European homes, as the presence of the girl reminds them. Rape would have been out of character.
I haven't found any reviews, so far, that hail this as Hollywood's first Gulag movie, perhaps because hardly anyone noticed that there weren't any before. Weir told me that many in Hollywood were surprised by the story: They'd never heard of Soviet concentration camps, only German ones.
...it could have helped win the war in a more timely fashion.

Q: Throttle derived state in React Here's my use case, a simple React component with a text input which filters the elements of a list:
const myArray = [...];

// Inside React component:

handleChange = ({target: {value}}) => this.setState({value});

render() {
  return (

      <input onChange={this.handleChange} value={this.state.value} />

        {myArray.filter(v => v.includes(this.state.value)).map(v =>
{v}
)}

  );
}

With this code, everytime I change the text inside the input, the elements inside the list changes immediately.
What I want to achieve: the user types in the filter text, that text updates immediately in the text input (normal), but I wish the elements inside the list not to update immediately, but let's say 500ms after the user finished typing.
So basically:

*

*user types, text updates inside <input>, list elements don't

*user stops typing, 500ms after, list elements update

Edit:
What I tried:
import throttle from 'lodash/throttle';
const myArray = [...];

// Inside React component:

handleChange = ({target: {value}}) => this.setState({value});

calculateMatches = throttle(() => {
  const matches = myArray.filter(v => v.includes(this.state.value))
  return matches;
}, 500);

render() {
  return (

      <input onChange={this.handleChange} value={this.state.value} />

        {this.calculateMatches().map(v =>
{v}
)}

  );
}

But this throttles every 500ms, so if the user continues typing for 1600ms, it will re-update the list 3 times.

Q: Custom Items in Lists in C# forms? I'm a bit new to the C#-form app developing and I want know, what's the best way around at making a control that holds a list of horizontal items. In which each of these items are horizontally ruled to it's parent control, contain a thumbnail to the left and a large text block to the right of image and a smaller text block underneath that. So basically this isn't a predefined control I can find in the toolbox. Any ideas?

A: You could lay this out with Panels in form controls,  or with WrapPanel and StackPanel in WPF.
In WindowsForms, I would create a user control that held the correct layout for a single item, then make a list of them at run time.
In WPF I would use a List control, but set the layout template to use WrapPanels and StackPanels.
WPf is the better solution long term if you don't have to coexist with winforms


Ty Koehn, pitcher for Mounds View High School was down to the last out of the sectional championship game and was looking to wrap up the three-hit shutout and cinch victory for his team.
The batter Koehn was up against was Jack Kocon of Totino-Grace, who he swiftly struck out, nabbing the championship title in a 4-0 victory and earning a trip for his team to the state quarterfinals.
However, rather than immediately start celebrating, there was something else Koehn needed to do first. This is awesome.
But while his Mustangs teammates were understandably ecstatic, jumping up and down and celebrating their hard-earned victory, the pitcher put all that on stand by.
See, Koehn's strikeout victim — Kocon — has been a close friend for quite a while. And Koehn had no intention of celebrating before heading to home plate to hug his pal.
This high school pitcher chose to hug his childhood friend instead of celebrate his championship-clinching strikeout.
Sports are an important part of human culture because they reflect outwardly, so much of what we go through inwardly, much like art such as novels, comics, and films.
The struggle against limitation, whether imposed by our selves or outside forces, the drive to overcome, the will to fight on even when the odds are stacked completely against you are scenarios that we all as human beings face at some point in our lives.
Sports symbolize those struggles and provide a cathartic release for the anxiety of being in situations that are challenging.
Given the emotions that run high during sporting events, it's always good to see such outstanding sportsmanship. This kid's parents ought to be proud. They've raised an awesome human being.


Vit. D3 + K2 (MK-7) 60 caps.
The recommended daily allowance is 1 capsule after the main meal. Drink preparation approx. 300 ml of water.
The everyday use of the preparation is recommended in order to prevent osteoporosis, particularly in the case of seniors as well as menopausal women. Vitamin K and vitamin D work in synergy and significantly help to improve bone structure. Vitamin D also proves excellent as a way to increase the growth of muscle tissue, particularly when used along with leucine. It has been proven that vitamin D and leucine used at the same time help to increase insulin levels and its receptors, thanks to which they are believed to have anabolic properties, particularly desired by those who care about the growth of muscle tissue.
Dietary supplement which improves the body's overall health and well-being. It includes bark of Pau D'Arco.
Dietary supplement containing chromium. It regulates appetite and insulin secretion, reduce cholesterol.
Menaquinone is the term used for vitamin K2. It appears in short- and long-chain forms, the most popular of which are MK-4 and MK-7, containing respectively 4 and 7 isoprene residues in the side chains.
Vitamin K2 exhibits the widest spectrum of its activity by means of osteocalcin, which it has the ability to activate. By means of this hormone produced by bone cells, it may support the state of mineral density of bones and the condition of blood vessels and lower the risk of circulatory diseases. An interesting property of this vitamin is stimulation of Leydig cells to synthesize testosterone, which will be of interest especially to men. K2 also has neuroprotective properties, protecting from excitotoxicity caused by glutamate and oxidative stress from glutathione deficiency. Osteocalcin may also increase adiponectin release from fatty cells, thanks to which it is possible to achieve better insulin sensitivity and decrease inflammations.
Menaquinone is contained in dietary supplements available in the offer of muscle-zone.pl.

Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) Map showing status of Dredged Material Maintenance Management Areas (MSAs) as of April 2015
on December 11, 2015 August 18, 2018 By Florida's Big Dig
This map shows the various completion dates for the construction of dredged material management areas by the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND).
Under an Act of Congress enacted in 1927, the federal government agreed to take over the privately-owned, old Florida East Coast Canal, substantially enlarge its width and depth, and perpetually maintain it, upon condition that the State of Florida buy the tollway from Palm Beach County developer Harry S. Kelsey, acquire all necessary rights- of-way or maintenance spoil areas (MSAs) for the deposit of all spoil areas needed by the Army Corps of Engineers, and identify a "local sponsor" to perform the State's obligations.
Over the decades, natural mangrove plant islands built up within the boundaries of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). These should be distinguished from artificially constructed MSAs and identified by legal description in the public records of each county. In the case of MSA 684A, this maintenance spoil area is the northern forty feet of what is popularly (but incorrectly) known known as the Deerfield Island Park, maintained and within the north forty feet of what was popularly known as the the "Capone tract" or, much later, "Capone Island".
It acquired the name largely because the notorious gangster Al Capone's lawyer, Vincent Giblin, purchased the fifty-acre property, then a peninsula in 1929 "as trustee" for an unidentified beneficiary or beneficiaries before Capone went to prison for income tax evasion. The property became an island when Arthur Vining Davis (Arvida) bought the property and dredged the Royal Palm Canal between the ICW and the Hillsboro Canal in the early 1960s. The north forty feet of the Deerfield Island property lies within Palm Beach County and acts as a buffer between Broward County's Deerfield Island Park and the posh Arvida development known as the Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club in Boca Raton in Palm Beach County.
Upon acquisition of the old private Waterway from Kelsey for $725,000, turnover of the waterway to the federal government, and the formation of FIND in 1929, the old waterway became the Florida link in the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, free of the burden of tolls and under the control of the federal government. Florida was the only state along the Atlantic seaboard required by Congress to purchase a waterway within its boundaries for turnover and enlargement by the federal government. The federal government used federal tax dollars to buy the inland waterways in the other states for the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway.

(Ref: PR Newswire)
C-CAR039
CBMG
HONG KONG, Sept. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CBMG Holdings (or the "Company"), a Cayman Island biopharmaceutical company developing innovative cellular immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and degenerative diseases, today announced the closing of a $120 million Series A investment, led by AstraZeneca-CICC Fund, Sequoia Capital China and Yunfeng Capital. Both new and certain existing investors, including GIC and TF Capital, subscribed to the Series A financing.
This round of financing will largely be used to accelerate the clinical development of the Company's immune-oncology platform. Specifically, C-CAR039, an anti-CD19/CD20 bispecific CAR-T therapy for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (r/r NHL) and C-CAR088, a B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) therapy for patients with late-stage relapsed/refractory (r/r) multiple myeloma (MM), as well as armored CAR-T therapies and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) therapies targeting solid tumors. In addition, the capital injection will support the continuing development of the Company's stem cell platform, including the study of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) using allogeneic human adipose mesenchymal stem cell exosomes (haMSC-Exos) and extracellular vesicle, and the data compilation from its off-the-shelf product AlloJoin® applying adipose-derived stem cells in the treatment of Phase II knee osteoarthritis (KOA) clinical trial in China.
This round of financing will be used to accelerate the clinical development of the Company's immune-oncology platform.
One of the earliest pure-play biotechnology companies from China to be approved for listing on the NASDAQ Market, Cellular Biomedicine Group successfully completed its privatization in February 2021.
As a result of its strong research and development and cell and gene therapy manufacturing know-how, Cellular Biomedicine Group was invited to present two abstracts at the esteemed American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in June. Among them, C-CAR039 for r/r NHL displayed a very encouraging safety and efficacy profile, with the potential to be a Best-in-Class drug. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Office of Orphan Products Development has granted CBMG an Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) to C-CAR039, for the treatment of Follicular Lymphoma, an indolent form of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Xstrata lifts Falconbridge bid to $16.2 billion
Published: July 11, 2006 2:35 p.m. ET
LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Xstrata, the Swiss mining group, on Tuesday lifted its offer for the shares of Canadian nickel miner Falconbridge it doesn't already own to $16.2 billion (C$18.1 billion), throwing a wrench into Phelps Dodge's plan to buy both Falconbridge and Inco.
Xstrata (XTA) said its new offer for Falconbridge (FAL) FAL stands at C$59 a share in cash, up from C$52.50 a share previously.
The proposal tops Inco's N, +13.46% (N) bid for Falconbridge by 9.6%, based on closing share prices from last week.
But when calculating Inco's offer for Falconbridge -- C$17.50 in cash and 0.55676 share -- at Monday's closing price, the Inco deal is valued at C$58.36.
In a statement, Falconbridge said it plans to evaluate the terms of the revised offer and provide its shareholders with a formal response as soon as it has completed the analysis.
Shares of Falconbridge rose 1.9% to C$59.80 in Canadian trading. Xstrata, which is listed in London, ended up 0.1% higher.
Inco's stock improved 1.8% and Phelps Dodge rose about 1%.
Xstrata, which already owns about a fifth of Falconbridge, said the deal should lift earnings "substantially" in the first full year of ownership.
Xstrata said the offer values all of Falconbridge at $20 billion.
"Our increased offer price for Falconbridge underlines our belief that the combination of Xstrata and Falconbridge represents an excellent opportunity to create an outstanding global mining company, ideally positioned to create further value for all stakeholders through active involvement in the ongoing consolidation of our industry," Chief Executive Mick Davis said in a statement.
Xstrata said it has received word that U.S. and Canadian authorities believe there's no competition concerns, though it's still awaiting formal approval from Industry Canada.
He added on a conference call that he wasn't sure why the regulatory agency needed extra time to complete its review.
Phelps Dodge PD, +3.72% has agreed to buy both Inco and Falconbridge for $40 billion, assuming Inco succeeds in buying Falconbridge, even if the Falconbridge offer fails. If the Falconbridge does fall apart, Phoenix-based Phelps Dodge would buy back $5 billion of its shares.
Phelps Dodge said it wasn't surprised by the increased offer for Falconbridge by Xstrata, given the attractiveness of Falconbridge's assets.
"The value of the Inco offer is ... currently superior to the Xstrata offer, and we continue to believe the friendly three-way agreed deal between Phelps Dodge, Inco and Falconbridge also will provide the greatest long-term value for Falconbridge shareholders as well as net benefits to Canada that would not be available under Xstrata's hostile offer," Phelps Dodge said in a statement.
Inco echoed Phelps Dodge, saying that its offer for Falconbridge remains the best alternative on the table for Falconbridge shareholders.
"Only Inco's offer gives both current Inco and Falconbridge shareholders the opportunity to participate in the great earnings, cash flow and growth potential of Phelps Dodge Inco," Inco said in a statement.
Both Inco and Phelps Dodge said that, under the terms of their three-way deal, the implied value of Inco's bid for Falconbridge is superior to Xstrata's.
Canada's Teck Cominco (TCK.A)(TCK.B) has a competing offer to buy Inco. Teck Cominco's A-listed shares rose over 4%.

horder faces his girlfriend's family in "I Should've Never Told You"
Arnaud Marty 24 January 2017
With "I Should've Never Told You", Montreal-based rapper horder shares his tormented experience with the parents of his girlfriend and proves that he is not "another black son of a bitch", but an artist you should keep an eye on!
At that time, horder was sharing a room with a guy, apollo, he met on the internet four years before. At that time, he was living in an underprivileged area of Brooklyn with "crazy roommates", as he describes them. Since they know each other, the two guys have been making music during their annual summer meeting point, in Atlanta, Montreal, or New York.
On "I Should've Never Told You", the rapper deals with the difficult relationship he had with the Albanian parents of his girlfriend. Despite some hard words, such as "black son of a bitch", their couple went through these families stories and finally inspired this track. As horder details, "I Should've Never Told You" is about both "a fucked up summer in a hot small room with no money and a lot of insanity" and "meeting the right person in the worst circumstances."
The interesting storytelling of horder besides, apollo's production sounds fresh and the synergy works pretty well at the end. "I Should've Never Told You" perfectly captures the feelings and the mood of horder and conveys these emotions with the same ease.

- I love your personality! - Oh really, which one?


Sorry it's been so long since I've updated here. I have some changes in mind for this space and hopefully they'll come together soon and you'll hear a lot more from me!
The summer was super busy with lots of shows and lots of working. I've also been taking a class called Banking on Women that is helping me to put together a fancy, official looking business plan for my future b&m shop, Mineral + Matter. It'll be complete with cash flow projections and demographic research, which is taking me forever to compile. I've also got a few more shows coming up for the Holidays and will be featuring some new goods from really talented artisans! Check here for more details and come out to visit my booth at Oh Sweet Sadie market in Daybreak on Nov 14th-Nov 17th, at Bijou Market on Nov 16th and 17th in Provo and then a couple weeks later at Beehive Bazaar also in Provo on Nov 29-Dec 1st. See you there!


Know God by knowing His Word. It seems too simple to work, but it was always designed to be simple. We determine to make things complicated and complex because there has to be more to it all.
The Word is pure – refined to the point that all of the imperfections have been melted away. There is no complex formula to understand. It is what it is. This refined, pure Word provides a shield of protection to those that trust in It and in Him (the one that wrote the Words).
It is simple. Adding to it confuses the issues and complicates the situation. Read the Word until you know the Word and in knowing the Word you will know the One that create the Word.

Ashley's expert experience, passion, engagement, and ability to inspire stakeholders, quickly earned her a leading role as Project Manager of Therapeutic Initiatives, where she designed and innovated therapeutic, educational and wellness programming for hundreds of youth and families. This included a human trafficking awareness program and an innovative expressive arts continuum that targeted trauma affected youth with juvenile justice adjudications.
In 2018, Ashley served as founding chair of University of Southern California's Unchained Scholars, a student organization for graduate students of social work adversely affected by the criminal Justice System. In 2020, she graduated Suma Cum Laude with her master's degree in Social Work, from USC. Ashley is a Doctoral Candidate in Social Work at USC, and a 2021 JustLeadershipUSA Leading with Conviction Fellow.

Having the "Field of Dreams" syndrome. With zero offense to Kevin Costner, here is the deal: if you build it, they will not come. This only occurs if you are Oprah, but last I heard even the OWN Network was hurting. Unless you are uber famous, they will not come. Many business owners fall into the "they know me" approach. It doesn't work out. Ever. Sorry Kevin, I guess that is why it is a movie. My point here is that you should only not have quality marketing items (website, collateral, etc.), but have PR to promote it.
Assuming all competition is direct competition. This is simply not true. As far as I am concerned, there is no competition (and if spell check tries to change this word into completion one more time, I am going to drop my laptop in the pool. Sorry, not a Windows 8 fan. Bad purchase). I have some new office buddies (yes, I went brick and mortar) and they are some pretty knowledgeable marketing peeps. I am thrilled to have worked with them on some projects and 3 minds are seriously better than one. I will do an announcement about this later (mainly because I want elephants at the grand opening and my mom was mortified about the office chairs I wanted to order), but my point is collaborate with like-minded individuals and businesses – bigger & better projects/opportunities will fall at your feet.
Having a crappy website. This is a huge downfall for any business owner. Visitors will equate crappy with cheap products and services. There are a ton of crappy free templates out there and this is not an area where you want to go. Take the cheap route out of your marketing. Please do yourself a favor and hire a professional. I once had a potential client wanting to sell 30K art projects off of a landing page. I am not joking. Please do not get me started on this one.
Endless scroll syndrome. Here is another website one: people do not have all day to look at your website and no matter how fabulous you think you are, you have about 30 seconds. Maybe a minute or two. Have a video. We all live in an A.D.D society and I highly recommend having a video on the front page of your website. This would be something short and to the point about what you do. You can never expect a potential customer to scroll … ZZZZ. Anyway, you get my point. If you have endless pages of scrolling, you may need to fire your webmaster.
