I have alluded several times to ketogenic dieting, and decided to say a little more before I go back to garden talk. I started eating ketogenically a little over three years ago, in response to increasing weight, blood pressure, and blood sugar. I don't expect to eat any other way for the forseeable future, because I like being thinner, feeling better, and having no medications to keep track of. I am not making recommendations for anybody but myself. If you are interested, read the most recent Atkins book you can find, one that lists Volek and Phinney as authors since they are two of the foremost researchers in this field. For myself, I can only say that it has been exhilarating to find that the slow progression to type 2 diabetes is totally within my own control and doesn't have to happen. I "cheat" on fruit when it's fresh from my own yard but otherwise stay very low-carb. Deprived? Not hardly. The lovely plate above, "borrowed" from The Nourished Caveman, is just one example of what's possible.
The bulk of my diet these days is leafy vegetables, both raw and cooked, and this is where being a gardener and forager comes in really handy. To get this quantity of greens in organic form from the store would be quite possible, but expensive. I cook them with healthy fats and any seasonings that take my fancy. I eat moderate amounts of meat, poultry, fish, and seafood. This is not an especially high-protein diet, although protein content is certainly high relative to the standard junk-food diet. I do use a few artificial sweeteners, mostly oligofructose (a natural derivative of chicory root) and liquid stevia, but I try to minimize them and I don't obsess about making sugar-free desserts. Dessert should be an occasional treat, not a nightly right.
All of this said, I don't intend to write much more specifically about this way of eating. It's my lifestyle choice and not binding upon anyone else. If you're interested, just be aware that my posts and recipes since I resumed blogging early in 2015 are compatible with a low-carb lifestyle, but older posts are not, and that green vegetables are your friends!
For those who have tried low-carb and not gotten good results, the link below is a nice concise and useful summary of the most common mistakes.

20 June, 2016 marked World Refugee Day, a global recognition of the nearly 65 million people who are displaced worldwide. In Burma, the Day served as a tragic reminder of the displacement resulting from decades of civil war, state-sponsored persecution and forced relocation. According to a report released by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Burma is the second highest contributor of both refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs) in the Asia-Pacific region. By the end of 2015, there were 450,000 IDPs and 451,800 refugees, including the over 100,000 refugees that have been displaced in nine camps along the Thailand-Burma border.
Every year, Thailand arbitrarily detains thousands of children, from infants and toddlers and older, in squalid immigration facilities and police lock-ups. Around 100 children—primarily from countries that do not border Thailand—may be held for months or years. Thousands more children—from Thailand's neighboring countries—spend less time in this abusive system because Thailand summarily deports them and their families to their home countries relatively quickly. For them, detention tends to last only days or weeks.
But no matter how long the period of detention, these facilities are no place for children.


For every loving mom, child's hygiene is a top priority in the development of the child. As, given the fact that for every newborn's age thought the food, the issue arises: what diet food is right for my baby? Or so to organize a child's ration at variant ages. Try to answer Your questions, focusing on the basic and most significant points. Consider feeding babies with the 1st hours of life and up to 1 year.
So, we all know that a most good in feeding a baby is breast milk.
For a newborn newborn, and babies under the age of 2 weeks, influential is a number of diet food intake and the number of feedings. In main, a capacity of a portion of warm milk need be 90-140 ml. The number of meals 6-7 minutes per day, ie any three or four hours. Starting at 2 weeks of age and infants up to four months, a portion was increased to 180-200ml, and the number of meals somewhat shrinking. Optimal, a regular feeding at intervals of each 3 hours. In addition, at this age child's diet, It is possible to throw in berries and veg juices (red apple, carrot, lemon, ripe tomato and grape). The capacity of extract consumed should not exceed 20-25 ml. As well helpful to supplement a diet food cooked chicken egg 1/2. Giving yolk preferably not more than three minutes a week. Grated red apple, may be used between breast-feeding, supplementing a schedule for of a newborn beneficial nutrients that may be found in it.
Starting with a 5 30 days old and up to 6 weeks, to lactation, a amount of 200 ml was added a variety of porridge, which is cooked in milk, 0.5-diluted with water or veg broth. This can be wiped buckwheat, semolina or rice porridge. A serving of porridge must not exceed 180 ml and consumed no more than TWO times a day, to avoid bloating and weight in a tummy baby. Also, a regimen of a child remain juice (30ml), berries jelly (30ml), grated raw apples (1-TWO units). The yolk may be increased to 1 pc. And to give a newborn daily. Number of meals 5-6 times per day.
Babies 6 months and 7 months of age to fresh (size 200 ml) was added to cereal (semolina, buckwheat, rice), fresh vegetables, soups, purees and soups. Porridges and soups alternate in meals in ordering to diversify the regimen. Fruit and fruits make mousse, pudding, mashed potatoes or juices. Number of feedings per time is 5 minutes.
With 95 months of age, must expand a clear day menu for babies. For example, if a newborn is eating breakfast in a first with fresh natural milk, the meal need be more dense and varied. This can be a vegetable and meat bisque, veggie puree or mashed cereal, liver or boiled fresh meat. In ordering not to overload the ventricle newborn, it is important to observe a proportions of food intake. Thus, a capacity of fluid fresh food want not exceed 90 ml, mashed potatoes and cereals - 100 ml, and liver or meat of size 20 ml. Porridge at that age may be boiled in natural milk and your volume can be up to 200 ml. In addition, a bisque may be a little quantity of fresh bread rolls, and by Kiselev or juice to one cookie.
Children who turned 9 weeks 11 weeks Ido in the diet, but breast-feeding, and a full dinner, which consists of natural milk porridge, broth, minced and mashed fruits add nonfat yogurt.
By a end of 11 months and 12 weeks with the start, ofttimes natural-feeding should be discontinued however the main diet food is natural milk porridge, a hearty lunch and organic fresh fruits and fruits. At lunch, instead of minced meat can be cooked steam cutlets or meatballs, and instead of veggie purees - chops raw vegetables. Number of feedings distributed so that it is no more than 4 or 5 times a day.
In addition to the basic scheme of food to babies at different ages, need know a few foods that get with a 4.5 - 5 weeks. Since starting this age, warm milk may not fully satisfy a needs of a child, additional nutrients, ie the lure.
In any case, at the beginning of feeding, consult a doctor.
But remember some simple rules of complementary foods, quite simply, the more that we are happy to share this knowledge.
Every new type of meal the newborn is given to fresh-feeding, when he greatest appetite.
As well, however you can use the feeding dish of boiled fish, but these dishes give once a week and from 12-9 weeks. Honey is used in a 1-st 0.5 instead of saccharose syrup, especially valuable is buckwheat natural honey.
In a summer it is important to keep at least one fresh-feeding, in the event of illness of a newborn to keep a immune system, worked out by feeding milk.
By year end, child fresh food should be extremely diverse, properly-prepared, because by that time a newborn tastes are correctly developed, and a monotonous, strongly food reduces appetite.
Given these rules, and the main scheme of diet food, you, dear moms and dads may easily cope with feeding a baby and will be rewarded with another portion of happiness in the configuration of a healthy, happy newborn.

Beauchamp v. Haas
ERIK BEAUCHAMP, Petitioner,
RANDALL HAAS, Respondent.
OPINION AND ORDER DENYING "PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS" AND DENYING A CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY
ROBERT H. CLELAND UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
Petitioner Erik Beauchamp filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner challenges his Wexford County Circuit Court jury trial conviction for second-degree murder, Mich. Comp. Laws § 750.317, for which he received a sentence of thirty-seven years, six months to sixty years' imprisonment. The petition raises two claims: (1) that the trial court erred in failing to instruct the jury on the lesser offense of voluntary manslaughter; and (2) that the prosecutor committed multiple instances of misconduct during closing argument. For the reasons provided below, the court will deny the petition. The court will also deny a certificate of appealability.
Petitioner's conviction arises from the August 8, 2014 shooting death of Lindsey Morgan. The Michigan Court of Appeals affirmed Petitioner's second-degree murder conviction. People v. Beauchamp, 2016 WL 3421405 (Mich. Ct. App. June 21, 2016). Its description of trial testimony is summarized below. That court's factual findings are presumed correct on habeas review. 28 U.S.C. § 2254(e)(1); Wagner v. Smith, 581 F.3d 410, 413 (6th Cir. 2009).
Petitioner and Morgan, both alcoholics, had two children together and an on-again, off-again relationship. Beauchamp, 2016 WL 3421405, at *1. Morgan occasionally left Petitioner for another man, their neighbor Joseph Traylor. Two days before Petitioner shot and killed Morgan, they had a fight. Id. The next day, Petitioner saw Morgan "put the children into her mother's van and leave." Id. Shortly thereafter, on the phone, Morgan taunted Petitioner about losing his children. Id. She also texted him to say, "I'm sorry, but I am done." Id.
The next day, Petitioner went to work, but left because he was unable to focus due to being upset. Id. at *2. After returning home, he told his mother "he loved her and was sorry he had to kill himself." Id. He went into the woods behind his property with a few bottles of beer, a 12-gauge shotgun, and a .22 caliber pistol. Id. His mother called police. Officer Daniel Johnson arrived and spoke to Petitioner on the phone. Id. When Petitioner "refused to come out of the woods to talk[, ]" the officer decided he could take no action because Petitioner had not committed a crime. Id.
Defendant testified at trial that he both "wanted to die" but also wanted to confront Morgan. Id. His sister said he called her, saying he was going to kill both Morgan and Traylor, the neighbor. Id. Morgan's mother also testified that Morgan told her that Petitioner had called Morgan and had said he was coming to kill her. Id.
A friend driving to Traylor's house to meet Morgan saw Petitioner "walking toward the house with a shotgun." Id. When Petitioner reached the house, he broke in, and "began beating the door" of the bathroom where Morgan had taken the children. Id. at *3. "Morgan came out and the two began struggling over the shotgun[.]" Id. The fight continued through the house with Petitioner repeatedly punching Morgan. Id. Morgan also hit Petitioner "a couple of times in the head with the shotgun they were both holding." Id. The shotgun went off, "Morgan got ahold of [it]" and ran out of the house. Id. Outside the house, Petitioner shot Morgan three times with his pistol, twice in the head, and also beat her with the pistol. Id. "Morgan died as a result of the gunshot wounds." Id.
The jury acquitted Petitioner on the first-degree murder charge but convicted him of second-degree murder. Id. He raised two issues on direct appeal: (1) that the trial court erred in denying his request for a jury instruction on the lesser-included offense of voluntary manslaughter; and (2) that the prosecutor engaged in misconduct during closing argument.
The Michigan Court of Appeals rejected both issues and affirmed the conviction. Id. The Michigan Supreme Court denied Petitioner leave to appeal in a standard form order. People v. Beauchamp, 500 Mich. 925, 888 N.W.2d 105 (2017). Petitioner's timely pro se habeas petition followed, in which he presents the same two issues raised before the state appellate courts.
II. STANDARD
28 U.S.C. § 2254(d), as amended by the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA), Pub. L. No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1214, imposes the following standard of review for habeas cases:
An application for a writ of habeas corpus on behalf of a person in custody pursuant to the judgment of a State court shall not be granted with respect to any claim that was adjudicated on the merits in State court proceedings unless the adjudication of the claim -
(1) resulted in a decision that was contrary to, or involved an unreasonable application of, clearly established Federal law, as determined by the ...

Rust Belt Market creates community of arts in Ferndale
SARAH HUNTON
March 23, 2012 Updated: July 27, 2017 5:06 a.m.
The Rust Belt Market, which popped up in a former Old Navy building in downtown Ferndale, is nothing like its corporate predecessor.
Based on the historical concept of an open-air market, it attracts a variety of artistic vendors with a multitude of products -- mostly handmade -- including jewelry, clothing, food and visual art.
Plymouth resident Kate Graves enjoys coming to the market because of the variety of items that change every week at the market.
"I like the oddities," she said. "You can find so many unique things that you can't find anywhere else."
While not a constant, local musicians frequently play on a stage in the middle of the market floor. Band lineups for each week are available at www.rustbeltmarket.com.
Husband and wife Chris and Tiffany Best opened the Rust Belt Market last May. They wanted to create a space where those in the art and craft show circuits could show their work on a more consistent basis.
"We had started brainstorming and coming up with maybe a slightly different business model that we could work off of, and we arrived at the market model and kind of didn't look back from there," Tiffany Best said.
Chris Best is especially proud of the open-air market because he said it brings a sense of community among the vendors that modern shopping centers don't provide.
"I always say we just dusted off a 6,000-year-old business plan of an open-air market," Best said. Everyone is like, 'Oh, how did you think of this?' It's like, kind of getting back to basics."
Chris Best was in the construction trades prior to opening the market and was having difficulty finding work in the current economy. In addition to wanting to provide a place for artists to generate money, the Bests needed a new way to generate income for their family.
"We thought what a better time than now to pull the trigger on an idea," he said. "So it was kind of a mixture of two things -- good idea meets necessity."
Like the Bests, many vendors at the market have used life changes as opportunities to hone their crafts or pick up new, moneymaking hobbies.
Gary Holdwick creates birdhouses and sells them at the Rust Belt. He started making the houses when a serious work accident almost cost his arm. He was in the construction business, but his accident resulted in a need to "reinvent" himself.
"The concept really started cutting firewood in my dad's woods," Holdwick said. "There was a bunch of old dead cedars, so you just cut them in blocks and finish hollowing out the centers and make birdhouses. I gave them to family and friends and they were like, 'These are really nice, you should really try selling some of these.'"
Often, the materials in his pieces make his work one of a kind. For example, one of his birdhouses contains an antique seed plate from a 100-year-old planter.
Holdwick drives 108 miles from Kinde, Mich., in the tip of the Thumb, every weekend to be a part of the Rust Belt Market.
Jerry Shirts also began working as an artist after a life-changing event. After losing his job as a supervisor at an auto-supply company, Shirts realized he needed something in his life to help him work through his hardships.
"I started painting to try to keep my sanity," Shirts said.
Shirts sells his spray-paint stencil pop art on a weekly basis alongside the work of his girlfriend, Theresa Walding.
Ben Ruggles uses vintage and recycled material to create clothing and bags to sell at the Rust Belt Market. Prior to selling his goods at the Rust Belt, he owned his own business in Traverse City. He believes the Rust Belt Market provides an opportunity for society to take control of the economy.
"These small marketplaces are a great way to take control of the economic community," Ruggles said. "Allowing more people into the marketplace is a radical act in this day and age."
In addition to the economic benefits the Rust Belt provides vendors, many also enjoy the sense of community. Like Best, Shirts and Walding feel the sense of community that the market provides. For instance, the couple say, other vendors will help keep an eye on each other's booths, if need be.
"Everybody takes care of each other here," he said. "It's very nice."

Strengthening the criminal law, making access to civil litigation easier for victims and establishing a new independent avenue for justice are some of the key recommendations in the final report of the Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry into the handling of child abuse by religious and other organisations, tabled today.
Committee Chair, Ms Georgie Crozier, MP hoped the recommendations would help victims to pursue justice more easily and provide a foundation for protecting our children into the future.
'Those who engage in it, or are in positions of authority and conceal such offences, should be dealt with under the criminal law.
You can download the full media release below.
The final report of the Inquiry into the handling of child abuse by religious and other organisations is expected to be tabled on Wednesday 13 November 2013.
Committee Chair, Ms Georgie Crozier, MP expects to table the report at approximately 9.40am (subject to other Parliamentary business) and will deliver a short speech in the Legislative Council.
People are welcome to see the report being tabled in person at Parliament House or they can watch proceedings via the usual live webcast of parliamentary proceedings on the Parliament House website at www.parliament.vic.gov.au.
An electronic copy of the report will be available on the homepage of the Parliament of Victoria's website (www.parliament.vic.gov.au) as soon as possible after it has been tabled. We expect this may take approximately one hour.
A limited number of hard copies of the report will be available on the day from Parliament House.
Committee Chair, Ms Georgie Crozier, MP said a further request to extend the reporting deadline for the Victorian Inquiry into the handling of child abuse by religious and other organisations has been granted, moving from 30 September 2013 to 15 November 2013.
'We are acutely aware of how important this Inquiry is for victims and that they are awaiting our report with anticipation,' Ms Crozier said.
Ms Crozier said that during deliberations the Committee had sought additional information and the analysis of some matters continues.
'Deliberations are progressing well and it was a unanimous decision of the Committee to seek this extension,' she said.
With scheduled hearings for the Victorian child abuse Inquiry ending soon, the Committee will not be able to accept any further written submissions after 7 June 2013 as they will move onto the next phase of the Inquiry.
Committee Chair, Ms Georgie Crozier MP, said although the formal deadline for accepting submissions was 21 September 2012, the Committee had used its discretion to accept late submission on a case-by-case basis since then.
"It has been in the best interest of the Inquiry to accept late submissions and we have accepted all written submissions made to us to date," Ms Crozier said.
The Committee has to date received 405 written submissions. The total number of hearing sessions conducted is more than 160, including 45 organisations that have appeared in public hearings from a range of religious and other non-government organisations. The remaining hearings included sessions with victims, their families, whistleblowers, experts, and other professionals. Of these, just less than half were held in-camera.
The final two scheduled public hearings are on Monday 20 May and Monday 27 May and then the Committee will move to deliberations. The reporting deadline for the Inquiry is 30 September 2013.
On 25 March a hearing transcript of evidence was suppressed and subsequently published on the Committee website in error. On learning of this error, the transcript was immediately removed from the website.
The evidence provided to the Committee by Mrs Noreen Wood on that date contained a number of allegations about individuals, which was subsequently suppressed on the basis that it contained adverse reference to individuals that did not fall within the terms of reference of the Inquiry.
In view of this, the evidence remains suppressed and will not inform the Committee's findings and recommendations.
Committee Chair, Ms Georgie Crozier, MP said a request to extend the reporting deadline for the Inquiry into the handling of child abuse by religious and other organisations has been granted.
The announcement was made by Ms Crozier in an opening statement at public hearings in Geelong on Friday 15 February.
As you are aware, our Inquiry is making significant progress and is continuing with visiting different parts of Victoria, hearing the testimony of victims and other interested parties. These are in addition to the hearings we are conducting in Melbourne. We are pleased that the work we have done in our Inquiry has been a major contributing factor to the establishment of the Royal Commission and we look forward to working collaboratively with them.
We have yet to hear - in public sessions - from representatives from several organisations. We will do so over the coming months and after further investigations are completed. This leads us to the issue of timing and our existing April 30 reporting date. I have always said that our Committee was focused on conducting a thorough Inquiry, not a hasty one, and I'm pleased to announce that our request to extend our reporting deadline to September 30 has been granted.
We have a strong team working in the Secretariat to support the Committee. To date we have had more than 60 people give evidence at public hearings, others have been heard in camera. We have received 370 submissions - over 80 of which are now published on the website - with many more (both public and confidential) being analysed. Our research, investigations and information gathering continues behind the scenes and the parallel processes we have set up also continue to operate. Victoria Police's Taskforce Sano, set up during the course of this Inquiry, made several arrests last week.
We are all making progress and I'd like to take the opportunity to thank those of you who have had the courage to come forward and share your story – your commitment to seek change and accountability on this issue has played a big role in this Inquiry. Thank you for your determination.
Next hearings are scheduled today in Melbourne and in Ballarat on Thursday 28 February.
"The scale and scope of the Royal Commission is vast and will take some time to establish and get underway. In Victoria we have already made significant progress with our Inquiry and we will continue with our work."
Hearing dates for the remainder of 2012 have been released for the Inquiry into the handling of child abuse by religious and other organisations.
The first hearing outside Melbourne will be held at the Mechanics' Institute in Ballarat next Friday 7 December 2012. The Committee anticipates it will return to Ballarat early next year as there are a large number of victims to hear from in the region.
There will also be hearings in Melbourne on 10 and 17 December.
"The Inquiry's work thus far has bought to light important revelations that have been key to the Federal Government deciding to call a royal commission."
"From our part, a significant amount of work has already been undertaken and there is more we can achieve but we obviously need further detail of the federal inquiry including its terms of reference before making any changes to our work."
"The Premier has tonight released a statement saying that the Victorian Government will work to appropriately bring together the work of the Victorian Parliamentary Committee's inquiry and the federal inquiry."
"The Committee has already undertaken a significant amount of work and until we receive further detail of the Commonwealth's approach, we will continue to progress our work on this important issue."

Q: WooCommerce - How to Auto add products in Cross Selling Plugin Section of Products? I would like to add a snippet such that the following happens:
Products are added in cross selling section automatically instead of manually selecting products.
After each order is placed the function should run.
Suppose if customer purchases Product A and in the past or in same order has purchased Product B, C & D.
After the order completion of Product A, Products - B, C & D will get Product A added in cross selling section. Also Product A will get Products - B, C & D added in cross selling section.
Conditions - Those products must not have been previously added in cross selling section to avoid double adding.
Product recommendation Engine does the same task, but this module requires the cron for all products to be run manually each time which is a lengthy task, especially if you have 30k plus products and 80k plus orders.

The Next Classroom Data Set: Student Criminal Records?
By Liana Loewus — June 14, 2011 1 min read
Texas is considering a law that would give teachers access to students' detailed criminal histories, which are currently confidential in most states, reports the Associated Press. The legislation, awaiting Governor Rick Perry's signature, was prompted by the 2009 death of a special education teacher who was stabbed by his 16-year-old student in Tyler, Texas.
The measure would require law enforcement to provide superintendents with "all pertinent details" of parolees' offenses, and superintendents to inform teachers. In addition, teachers would receive written arrest notifications. According to Sue Burrell, an attorney with the San Francisco-based Youth Law Center, "this is a real departure from traditional juvenile court law."
Rep. Jerry Madden (R) of Plano, Texas, who sponsored the legislations, said, "The bottom line is protecting teachers." Texas teacher groups support the measure as well, according to the AP. "We feel like we can deal with things when we're in the know," said Grace Mueller, a middle school teacher and officer with the Texas Classroom Teachers Association. "When you're blindsided, that's when you get fearful or put yourself or someone else in harm's way."
But juvenile justice advocates fear it will cause bias against these students—even those arrested students whose records are later cleared—and will cause schools to put students who have committed crimes directly into alternative education programs. "A kid walks into a classroom where the teacher knows all the details of the offense, the teacher would have to be super-human to be open-minded," said Lawrence Wojcik, a Chicago attorney who works on juvenile justice issues.
As a teacher, would you want to know the details of a student's criminal record? Would this information help you prepare for potential problems or would it only serve to color your perception of the student?

Arcadia is located in the heart of Phoenix. The history of Phoenix begins with the Pueblo Grande Indians. They established formed a well established and civilized community. Their ruins testify to the city's ancient roots. However, the city's modern history begins in the second half of the 19th century. A man stopped to rest his horse and the rich gleam of the brown, dry soil caught his eye. He saw it as farmland in need of water. He later returned and organized the Swilling Irrigation Canal Company. Not long after did people begin to move and occupy the land. You will never be bored in this area. It has everything from Local beer to wine tastings, 5 star restaurants and numerous shopping centers. Camelback mountain is very close as well.

Myanmar pardons more than 9,000 prisoners in New Year amnesty
Published On: April 17, 2019 12:54 PM NPT By: Reuters
Photo Courtesy: Agencies
YANGON, April 17: Myanmar began releasing more than 9,000 prisoners from jails on Wednesday, after the president announced an amnesty on the first day of the traditional New Year.
President Win Myint said 9,353 prisoners, including 16 foreigners, had been pardoned "as a gesture of marking the Myanmar New Year, for the peace and pleasure of the people, and taking into consideration humanitarian concerns".
Authorities were continuing to scrutinize remaining prisoners "who should be pardoned", he said in a statement posted on his Facebook page.
Such releases from prisons across the country are regularly ordered to mark the holiday.
Several prisons had begun releasing inmates by early afternoon, with two political prisoners among them, said Aung Myo Kyaw from the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners, a non-profit human rights group.
A total of 364 political prisoners are behind bars or facing trial, according to AAPP, including people accused of criticizing the army and ethnic minority activists jailed after protesting against war between government forces and minority insurgents.
Two Reuters reporters jailed for breaking the Official Secrets Act were not among those being pardoned, a senior official at Insein prison, the colonial-era jail on the outskirts of the commercial capital of Yangon where they are being held, told Reuters.

CHARLIE HANBURY TALKS TO POLOLINE "THE HPA & THE AAP NEED TO THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE OF POLO BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE"
Polo News
We are halfway through the Argentine high goal season, but many things have occurred over the last two months. After the restrictions imposed by the UK Home Office to the HPA regarding working permits for foreign players and grooms, the Argentine Association of Polo made changes which would affect foreign players who decide to play in Argentina.
English players have been the most affected, as they now have to pay a fee of 85,000 ARS (around 4,250 EUR/5,000 USD) to play official tournaments in Argentina, or a fee of 42,500 ARS to play private competitions. After a new edition of the El Remanso Cup in Lobos, Charlie Hanbury spoke to Pololine about this issue.
What do you think about the reciprocity that the AAP has established for English players who play in Argentina?
I personally don't see this as reciprocal. In England everyone (regardless of nationality, sex or age) has to pay an HPA handicap and a club membership. In Argentina everyone has to pay an AAP membership and a club membership. There is now a new tax for being an male English player.
How do you think English polo will be affected?
I do not believe that English polo will be affected. If anything, I believe that less English players will go to Argentina to play the tournaments there, which will mean less patrons to make teams, so less opportunities for players of all nationalities.
How do you think both associations (HPA and AAP) should tackle the issue?
Polo is a mess. It is not in a good situation. There are less patrons and less people playing at all levels. The HPA and the AAP both need to think about the future of polo before its too late. I think the AAP's new tax will only discourage people from playing the sport.
Do you think the HPA is taking the best decisions considering the development of English polo?
The HPA is fighting with the Home Office to try and ensure that foreign players and grooms can continue to come and work in the UK. Sadly, until the Home Office make a decision we are all left waiting to see. Hopefully, the HPA and their legal team can help persuade them that our sport needs foreign players and grooms.
What do you think are the main aspects that need to be solved?
The first thing that needs to be understood is that the VISA issue is not due to the HPA, but due to the British Government and it's Home Office. I am not sure that this is understood clearly by all of the polo world yet.
Do you think the HPA needs to make changes?
I think that the sport as a whole needs changes, not one particular governing body. All the Associations and players need to come together and find a way to help the sport grow, because at the moment it is in a bad place.

Here's your first look at how the first episode of Game of Thrones season 8 went down.
After the highly anticipated first episode of Game of Thrones' final season aired on 14 April, HBO went on to release a special behind-the-scenes doccie.
The doccie called, Game Revealed features the producers and actors of the hit show talk about behind-the-scenes action and how everything came together.
Even though some fans may dub the episode a 'reunion episode', the producers did not want the audience to forget that 'the impending doom was coming'.
The special feature also shows how directors and producers went on to shoot in Iceland.
"Yeah, this fire-lady-dragon-mamma is not so used to the cold," says Emilia Clarke who plays Daenerys. She and Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow had to do some extensive filming in Iceland as part of the first episode.
Talking about the actual 'dragon ride' (a moment fans of the show have been speculating about with regard to Jon Snow), Harington says that the robotic part was not so easy.
Harington also goes on to talk about the scene where Jon Snow finally finds out who his real parents are.

WTV shutdown my lowest point – Johnson Mwakazi
HAD TO LAY OFF STAFF
The media personality now runs a company called the Royal Voice
• Former Citizen TV news anchor started his own station but it collapsed
• He recounted how he had invested his money
by ELIZABETH NGIGI Lifestyle, Entertainment Journalist
Johnson Mwakazi

Media personality and businessman Johnson Mwakazi says his lowest moment in life was when WTV (Wholesome TV) was shut down.
Mwakazi had been working there as the CEO after he quit a job at Citizen TV, where he was the news anchor and Morning Breakfast Show host. "I started a TV station and after three years it didn't work out," Mwakazi told Word Is on Tuesday.
"I remember there were families depending on it as their source of daily bread, and to call them and tell them we are closing down and that we would be releasing some of them was the lowest moment in my entire life."
He recounted how he had invested his money, every morning coming early and leaving late.
"Sometimes I meet them, I'm glad some have jobs, but when I look back, if only I had the option, I would have given them. I would have wanted to have more people employed there," he said.
Today, Mwakazi runs his company, called the Royal Voice.
"Nowadays, I tell myself that maybe this is where I will feed more people and generations to come," he said.
Mwakazi also opened about his battle with pornography addiction, saying he was introduced to the vice by a friend.
"I realised how influence can work. It wrecked my life but I thank this pastor who came and introduced me to faith, and I realised there is something bigger. I wish someone would have told me before," he said.
A lot of people who are into drugs, he said, were maybe introduced to it, and now they can't come out of it. He urged parents not to wait until their children are introduced to things they don't know by strangers. "Be open to these issues and really speak about your stand," Mwakazi said.
He says every time he watched porn, he felt some guilt. "That guilt is part of the change because it does not just stop by saying I am stopping. It does not work like that, but you have to pick yourself up," he said.
Mwakazi admitted the addiction has affected his social life. "In many ways, I am very particular about what I want. If I am talking to a lady and they are not well dressed, it does something to my mind because I am trying to battle with how they look and so, I end up not engaging so much with them," he said.

Sometimes he even changed meeting places or limited their conversation.

"At the moment, there is an athlete clearly stronger than any other in the World, and (it) is Geoffrey Mutai ... There is a reason for this: Geoffrey is preparing (for the Boston) Marathon ... Preparing marathon in the modern way, it's possible to be very much competitive in a Cross, 4 weeks before. But preparing a cross with the Kenyan system, you can forget that is possible to run a marathon 4 weeks later."
- Renato Canova, coach of arguably the world's greatest runner right now, Geoffrey Mutai. Canova, in his post on LetsRun.com, is challenging Athletics Kenya to let Mutai to continue training with him and not in the official Kenyan camp for World Cross-Country. If AK insists on Mutai training in their camp, Mutai will skip World Cross-Country. Mutai dominated the Kenyan XC Champs (the world's toughest footrace) and averaged 2:05:03 in his 2 marathons last year. Read about his Kenyan XC win here.

Q: Android action-toolbar tabs size in landscape mode So I'm creating a Material design app for Android. I'm using the new Toolbar instead of using an ActionBar. In one activity, I want to display tabs below the toolbar. This works for both portrait and landscape mode alike, but in landscape mode, the tabs are centered and do not cover the entire width of the view.
Is this by design or is there something I need to know?
This is the layout for my activity:
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="match_parent">

    <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:height="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:background="@color/primary"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
        app:titleTextAppearance="@style/ToolbarTitle"
        app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
    </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

    <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/toolbar_tabs"
        android:height="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:background="@color/primary"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways" />

</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

The following code initializes this in onCreate:
// Set up the toolbar
this.setSupportActionBar(mToolbar);
ActionBar ab = this.getSupportActionBar();
if (ab != null)
{
    ab.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
    ab.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
    ab.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true);
}

// Set up the pager and tabs from the pager
mTabViewPager.setAdapter(mTabPagerAdapter);
mTabLayout.setupWithViewPager(mTabViewPager);

The mTabPagerAdapter is a pager adapter that holds the pages to be shown by the tabs as found in the docs.

A: You can use app:tabGravity="fill" to fit width in entire screen.
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
                android:id="@+id/tabs"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                app:tabGravity="fill"
                app:tabIndicatorColor="@color/white"
                app:tabMode="fixed"
                app:tabMaxWidth="0dp"
                app:tabSelectedTextColor="@color/white"
                app:tabTextColor="@color/white_dim" />`

Prince William has revealed that his wife, Kate, and his mother-in-law Carole Middleton are huge fans of Strictly Come Dancing.

Centrepoint is a charity that is close to Prince William's heart. Joining as a patron in 2005, the royal opened Apprenticeship House on Wednesday morning, which will support young displaced people in their journey towards independent living. The Duke has a history of showing his commitment to helping get people off the street, and strives to raise awareness of London's problem with homelessness.

Prince William was all smiles at the charity event on Wednesday
Before opening the new building, William visited the house and chatted away to residents. A passion instilled in him by his mother, Princess Diana took William and brother Harry to meet homeless people in South London on one occasion, so that they could better understand the poverty that others experience. The cause stayed close to William's heart, and he inherited his patronship in 2005.

I stormed through This Is Going To Hurt by Adam Kay, in two days. Very funny and informative about life inside the NHS. What a great writer; I wish I was more like him.
Enjoyed this? You could try: Some lives! A GP's East End by David Widgery for a slice of what is was like for a doctor working with patients in London's East End in the late 1980s.
Oh, and read this article from today's Guardian, about a first-year doctor.
Bloody love this book. One of the best I read last year. Heartbreaking & hilarious.

This Bible tells us that when written was 25 per cent prophecy, from Genesis to Revelation countless prophecies were given, and most have been full filled. Which ones have been full filled and which ones are yet to be full filled?
Love God with all your mind, soul, heart, and strength. He tells you to do that. The mark of the beast is something I think you just may want to read and think hard on. The Last days will be very scary for some that are not with Jesus.
At the beginning of this beautiful Bible there are Prophecy study help, Prophets and Prophecy, events of the end times. It goes into the Rapture there is just so much helpful information in this Bible that I feel goes into better detail too help bring more clarity.
This bible is really good it is hard to put all of the great points about it down. I recommend it highly. I have heard John Hagee is a great writer but I believe this is the first book I bought that he wrote and it is great. The writing is smooth. If you want to know about the Last Days this is the Bible for you.
I received this Bible free from Book look bloggers for an honest review I was not required to write a positive review just an honest one. The opinions I have expressed are entirely mine and no one else's.

It now becomes possible to consider the process whereby a man bridges the gulf or gap (speaking symbolically) which exists between the personal lower self and the Higher Self, as the latter functions in its own world. This has to be bridged before at-one-ment can be achieved and complete integration of the entire man can be brought about. To understand clearly what occurs, it will be wise to define more accurately what that higher nature is, and of what it consists.
"I play my part with stern resolve; with earnest aspiration; I look above, I help below; I dream not, nor I rest; I toil; I serve; I reap; I pray; I am the Cross; I am the Way; I tread upon the work I do, I mount upon my slain self; I kill desire, and I strive, forgetting all reward. I forego peace; I forfeit rest, and, in the stress of pain, I lose myself and find Myself and enter into peace. To all this I solemnly pledge myself, invoking my Higher Self."
a . He will ask nothing for the separated self. One can therefore easily see why aspirants are taught to pledge allegiance to their Higher Self, and to foreswear all claims of this separated self. One can see also why so many react against it. They are not ready for it, and such a pledge therefore acts as a great discriminating agent. To those for whom the standard of selflessness is set too high, it is neither understood nor desired. Therefore the unready criticize it. Later these will come back and with understanding take this obligation in the light.

Octopus Chronicles
Rare Octopuses Get Their Close-Up
There are some 300 known species of octopus. From the huge giant Pacific octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini) to the tiny poisonous blue-ringed octopus (genus Hapalochlaena), from the shallow-water mimic octopus (Thaumoctopus mimicus) to the deep-sea Dumbo octopus (genus Grimpoteuthis).
By Katherine Harmon Courage on November 28, 2014
But most of what we know about the animal comes from a few well-studied, (semi) lab-tolerant species. Namely the common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) and the two-spot octopus (Octopus bimaculoides).
There are many, many, many species that have are rarely studied in a lab.
In a lab at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology in Japan, one team of researchers is scouring the diverse local seas for octopuses to study. And they're sharing what they find—on a new website called Octosquid. (Octosquid.io, as its name suggests, features different types of cephalopods—including octopus, squid and cuttlefish.)
But there, you don't just get to meet octopuses and squid. You get a high-res (and often filmed) glimpse into the lab. These octopuses are put on display for any online visitor to see and to learn about.
You can get an up-close and personal look at the Octopus laqueus, a small Pacific octopus that shrugs off the octopus convention of solitary life. They have been found living at least two to a den, suggesting they are at least socially tolerant—if not social.
You can also see a glimpse of the Octopus wolf—or star-suckered octopus—one of the smallest octopus species we know. Full-grown adults can top out below 1.8 inches long. Some kraken.
Gander at some more stunning cephalopods over at Octosquid. And stay tuned as they share more of their lab companions.

Kisling, Nestico & Redick Fights Texting While Drving With Annual Scholarship
Akron, OH – Distracted driving takes many forms from talking to passengers, adjusting the radio station to the infamous texting and driving — all of which can be deadly. In 2017, texting/emailing and driving made up 39% of distracted drivers in fatal crashes, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol. Kisling, Nestico & Redick (KNR) continues to work towards safer roads by raising awareness with its KNR Don't Text & Drive Scholarship. Today, KNR announced 18-year-old Elianna Norin of Hudson as the winner of the $5,000 scholarship for developing the best proposal to persuade young adults from texting while driving.
Norin's application stood out to KNR amongst more than 400 applicants because of the creativity she put into her public service announcement script. Here's the premise of the script:
As a driver and passenger set off to their destination, the driver pauses to put their blindfold on for "five or so seconds. On straight roads and stuff." As the passenger argues in shock, the camera would shift to show the driver is looking down at their phone, not wearing a blindfold. The metaphor shows how dangerous texting and driving can be.
"When you look around at those driving, it's clear that texting and driving is a problem," Norin said. "It's time to think about how to best reach teens with the right message to drive home exactly how distracting being on your phone can be while behind the wheel."
Norin plans to attend Savannah College of Art and Design where she will put the $5,000 KNR Don't Text and Drive Scholarship towards her tuition for a graphic design and animation degree with the goal of working in a studio or becoming a freelance creative.
"We're excited to congratulate Elianna on winning this year's KNR Don't Text and Drive Scholarship. Her PSA is one that would resonate with her peers when trying to build awareness of the devastating impact of distracted driving," said Josh Angelotta, senior partner at KNR. "We will continue to fight against distracted driving, work for those who are victims and come together with our community to find solutions to this growing problem."
This scholarship is one-way KNR gives back beyond the courtroom throughout the year. From providing personal care bags to Summit County Children Services to donating school lunches for spring break, KNR takes pride in helping its community with its year-long KNR Cares About Kids initiative.

HomeDepressionSurfing the Big Waves
Surfing the Big Waves
Surfing The Wave Of Depression is a poignant film directed by Rob Reiner and starring Billy Crystal and Kurt Russell. Billy Crystal is an aspiring surfer who meets an aging, back surfing champion who inspires him. The two become friends and the champ allow them to ride on his plane, which he calls the Surfboard of Death. The movie chronicles their lives together as they try to find and surf all kinds of waves in many countries around the world.
Kurt Russell plays Dusty LaBeef, the best known of the Surfers. He crashes into a big wave and gets his face crushed and he ends up in a coma. His girlfriend comes to visit him in the hospital and he tells her that he wants to quit surfing but she tells him to get past his problem by riding his wave. Billy Crystal comes in to help out Dusty and the two end up going into business together. They have a good time trying to figure out what exactly Dusty does surfing and how to surf bigger waves. It turns out that he has been learning a lot about surfing tricks from his back.
The plot of the film centers on Billy Crystal and Kurt Russell as they try to save each other from a violent storm. This is after Crystal had jumped into the water with Kurt Russell and crashed into a huge wave while trying to retrieve him. Crystal is in critical condition and the two end up in a French hospital. Their lives are saved and they are returned to America. However, their relationship sours after Crystal learns that Kurt Russell made an illegal deal to pay for the plane he crashed into.
The plot thickens when a mysterious stranger named Rick Winger stumbles upon them in a French hospital. He apologizes for bumping them and tells them about his life. Crystal immediately realizes that it was Kurt Russell who did it, but then Billy learns the identities of the other two involved. They learn that they were traveling with Crystal's father in an airlift crash and were forced to leave their plane during landing. When they are dropped out of the plane and washed ashore, they find that their passports are missing and no one has told them where they are or how to get back.
Surfing is such a unique sport because it involves so many different variables of the human body. When a surfer is going to use the equipment called aboard, it is actually only half of what they need for a complete surf. They also need flexibility and strength. Another variable is the surfing technique. Surfing breaks down into many different styles such as stand-up surfing, break surfing, and freestyle surfing. Not to mention all the different variations of each style such as beginners surfing, advanced surfing, and classical surfing.
Surfing is not only a fantastic sport, but it is also a very relaxing recreational activity. Surfing can be done alone or with others and the challenge will increase depending on who is surfing with. There are many different teams in surfing that work together as a team. For example, surfers who belong to a team called Team AB will work together to achieve a common goal like winning a competition or winning the award for best team at a surf event.
Most surfers think that when they go on a surf trip, they are just paddling on the surface of the water like in a big wave. This is totally not true. Surfing requires a surfer to also do some acrobatics to stay off of his board and to perform various tricks that are referred to as tricks. These tricks can include surfing underwater, surfing on a rock, surfing on an obstacle, surfing on and around a volcano, surfing at the bottom of a lake, and so much more. A surf trip will not be complete without the surfer performing all of these things and then jumping into the water. A lot of people who are skilled in surfing have been seen on television performing these incredible feats of strength and agility.
People enjoy surfing for different reasons. Some people will do it just for fun and relaxation. Others do it to compete, both against other people and against the larger surf teams in the world. Still, others take surfing very seriously and sign up for surf camps where they work together as a team learning new skills and techniques in order to improve on their individual skills and excel at the sport. If you have never tried surfing, you should definitely consider taking a surf trip sometime and experiencing this awesome sport for yourself.
