African Women Driving Crypto & Blockchain Adoption
Cryptocurrency adoption is growing massively in the African continent. This is quite evident through the rate of increase in crypto asset ownership, crypto trading and crypto education in the continent. Arcane Research and Luno published a report that revealed that Uganda, Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, and Kenya are frequently among the top 10 countries by Google searches for the word "Bitcoin." The drive for crypto adoption in Africa has been championed by many crypto enthusiasts and evangelists. In this article, we would be looking at the top ten women that have contributed immensely to positioning the African continent on the vanguard of cryptocurrency adoption.
Caveat: The arrangement of the list does not suggest a hierarchical categorisation of the level of impact made by the women on the list.
Monica Singer (South Africa)
Sick and tired of corruption in various arms of government, Monica Singer, a Chartered Accountant and Auditor was determined to end or reduce corruption in government. This explains her quest for a better method to change the status quo. In 2015, she heard about bitcoin and blockchain in a conference, and after going through the Satoshi bitcoin white paper, she concluded that blockchain was the solution she had been seeking. She was the first CEO of South Africa's Central Securities Depository (CSD), Strate (Pty) Ltd, but resigned in August 2017 so she could concentrate on bringing blockchain technology to all relevant South African industries. In October 2017, Monica was appointed as the South African Lead for Consensys, the biggest blockchain company in the world. In June 2018, Monica was appointed board member of the Global Legal Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) based in Switzerland. In May 2019, Monica was appointed to represent Consensys on the Accounting Blockchain Coalition (ABC) board. Monica Singer has used her influence in the financial sector to push for blockchain adoption in Africa.
Alakanani Itireleng (Botswana)
Alakanani Itireleng is a bitcoin enthusiast, evangelist and educator in Botswana, Africa. She has a Bachelor's degree in Humanities and a Postgraduate Diploma in Education. With 10 years of experience in the Education field, Alakanani turned her vast experience in the field of Education into a goldmine. She became the first bitcoin evangelist in Botswana, starting in October 2013 with a successful first bitcoin meetup. She discovered it whilst researching online for opportunities to generate new income. Alakanani Itireleng is the founder of a blockchain hub in Botswana called 'Satoshicentre'. Through her hub— Satoshicentre, she works with developers in order to create an avenue to increase the understanding of bitcoin and blockchain technology, and to get developers in Botswana to use this technology to bring solutions to the problems that are faced by Africans. One of the major missions of Satoshicentre is to build an African blockchain hub that would incubate blockchain-based startups and would function as an online marketplace to connect Blockchain startups to investors. Her invaluable efforts in seeing that bitcoin and blockchain become a household name in Botswana and other parts of Africa, have earned her a spot on this list.

California's Attorney General has recently given approval to the California Cannabis Hemp Act of 2014 (also known as the Jack Herer Initiative), which would end cannabis prohibition in the state, including private cultivation, and industrial hemp.
Advocates in California will begin gathering signatures in October in an attempt to put legalization to a vote in 2014.
Under this initiative, the possession (and transfer) of up to 12 pounds of cannabis, and the private cultivation of up to 99 plants, would be legal for any adult 21 and older. Cannabis retail outlets would also be authorized, with the state's legislature being mandated within 6 months to determine specific regulations.
Michael Jolson, chief proponent of the initiative, tell us that signature collection for this initiative will begin on October 1st, with the aim of putting the measure to a vote of the people in the 2014 general election.
Although the passage of this proposal won't be simple, polling from earlier this year found that Californians support the legalization of cannabis by double-digit margins.
Those interested in volunteering for this effort should click here.
if you have any lawn signs, or stuff like that, I can help but I am currently enrolled in college and I can't donate too much of my time. I recommend my college, Palomar College in San Marcos California for gathering signatures though and the neighboring SCUSM.

Army & Air Force Exchange Service Public Affairs
DALLAS – With 85 percent of its workforce connected to the military, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service is a true example of family serving family. As such, the focus on Thanksgiving Day will be on family and most Exchanges will be closed.

"As part of the military community, the Exchange understands that time with family, for both customers and associates, is a priority," said Air Force Chief Master Sgt.

Washington Nationals hitting coach holds clinic in Amarillo
By Kayla Pace | January 13, 2019 at 4:03 PM CST - Updated January 13 at 4:03 PM
AMARILLO, TX (KFDA) - D-Bat in Amarillo hosted a special guest this weekend- Washington Nationals hitting coach, Joe Dillon.
Dillon had a great relationship with D-Bat during his five years living in Amarillo between his career as a professional baseball player, and his current one as a hitting coach in the majors. He wanted to make an effort to give back to the local baseball community.
"[I wanted to] come do a camp, help give back to the community and the baseball community here, and help the kids get ready for the upcoming season," explained Dillon.
As a professional coach, he knows exactly how to connect with developing players- by focusing on the individual.
"There's certain fundamentals that all good hitters do," said Dillon. "Obviously there's all individual ways to do that, everybody's a little bit different, and you know that's kind of where the coaching comes into play. Connecting with individuals, and finding out what works for them individually."
Some of the proceeds from the clinic go back into local baseball, through the "For The Love of the Game" scholarship at Amarillo High; that honors former Sandies coach Dick Jones.
"It's designed for the senior who plays the game the right way," said Jones."Hustles all the time, is out there leaving it all out on the field."
The first step to that scholarship? It might just be a lesson with Coach Dillon.
"Any time you're going to deal with the quality of Coach Dillon, you need to run. You need to get here as quickly as possible," expressed Jones.
Dillon played baseball for Texas Tech in the late 1990s, and went on to have a 13 year career in the MLB. He began his career as a hitting coach in 2013 with the Washington Nationals organization for their AAA team, the Syracuse Chiefs, and moved up the Nationals position this year.

The regional grid operator ISO-New England's long-awaited Operational Fuel-Security Analysis shows that more renewables, not more gas, will keep New England's electric power system reliable – especially during winter cold-snaps. That supports what CLF, and the markets, have been saying now for several years – New England doesn't need more gas-fired power plants or expensive pipelines to keep the lights on and our homes warm on the coldest winter nights.
Now, if you've been reading the news lately, you may be scratching your head, as ISO-New England CEO, Gordon Van Welie, has been suggesting just the opposite to a lot of reporters. But the fact is, he's misinterpreting his organization's own data. Together with the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, and others, we've looked at the study in detail and found a serious flaw in ISO's analysis. Fans of big pipelines are using that flaw to tout a tired story aimed at lining the pockets of Big Gas. And until that flaw is corrected, we should all question any public statements ISO-New England makes about our "fuel security," especially when it comes to natural gas.
Why Are We Talking About Fuel Security?
New England has been growing overly dependent on natural gas for meeting electricity needs, which has the grid operator (ISO) concerned. It's worried that, during deep and sustained winter cold snaps, New England may not have enough gas on hand to both heat and power our homes and businesses.
That's because many gas-fired electricity generators buy most of their fuel, most of the time, from our region's large interstate gas pipelines. But those pipelines were not originally built to serve power plants. Instead, they were designed to provide gas for heating and other building services. For most of the year, the region has plenty of gas available to meet our heating and electricity needs, plus (lots of) extra to spare. Not surprisingly, during particularly cold winter periods when our furnaces are running around the clock, there is less "extra" gas in the system, and the price for gas – for all users – rises.
So what does ISO conclude about New England's "fuel security"? Its analysis proves what CLF and others (like the Massachusetts Attorney General in 2015) have been saying for years: we don't need a new pipeline. On top of that, it shows that solar and wind power are not only cheaper and cleaner than gas, they also make our grid more resilient to even the coldest winters!
Admittedly, that might not be the message you get if you only skim the study or listen to van Welie in the press. Because, despite the report's actual conclusions, the study reads like it was written by folks who (like van Welie) have advocated for years on behalf of pipeline companies. That explains why those who haven't taken a closer look at the study – or who are trying to profit from it – may interpret the report as a dire warning that if we don't do something fast (like build a big new gas pipeline into and across New England), we're in trouble.
We're not in trouble though. Not at all. Here's why.
The report looks at more than 20 different scenarios in an attempt to determine our level of risk for power outages due to fuel shortages. ISO starts with a baseline "reference case" scenario that is supposed to reflect a best guess for what our electricity system will look by the mid-2020s, assuming current trends – like the steady uptick in renewable energy sources – stay on track. From there, it modeled the report's other scenarios by changing individual factors in that baseline – for example, an unexpected number of generators retire, or more renewable sources come online faster than expected.
But if you dig into the numbers a bit – like we did with a team of other interested groups, including the state consumer advocates for Massachusetts and New Hampshire – it's easy to see that ISO's overall results were skewed by some major errors in the reference case it chose to serve as the baseline for its analysis.
Instead of the baseline reflecting system conditions that, by the mid-2020's "can reasonably be expected to materialize in New England given current trends," it presents a scenario that doesn't even reflect our actual energy mix today. In its place, it assumes much more of the "bad stuff," like gas-fired power, and far less of the "good stuff," like renewables and energy efficiency. And those assumptions simply aren't realistic, given both our present reality and current and future trends in New England.
That's not to say that we should throw out all of ISO's analysis, however. At least one of their proposed scenarios does present a fairly realistic picture of what the "fuel security" issue will look like going forward. ISO calls it the "High Boundary" scenario, which includes, for the 2024-25 time frame, the right amount of energy from renewables, the right supply of LNG capacity, and the right amount of imported energy, as well as an extra "tank refill" for oil-fired plants, which is easy to do and would only be required during the coldest of cold winters.
Importantly, in this scenario – the one that most closely reflects what our grid will look like in the mid-2020s – ISO's study indicates that it would never need to implement even cautionary measures, known as "OP-4" warning actions. There would also be zero hours where reserve generators are called upon to maintain reliability, even during an unusually long and cold winter. And all of this means, according to ISO's own analysis, that there is essentially zero chance of "fuel security"-related rolling blackouts in the future if we continue along the transition-to-renewables path we're already on.
So while we applaud ISO for diving deeper into the issue, we frankly shouldn't trust its public conclusions or statements about "fuel security" unless and until it corrects the flawed baseline for its study. The numbers are critically important here, and the stakes are too high. Burning more gas is a dead end – for our electric power system, for our climate, and for the health and welfare of businesses and families across Massachusetts.


Honda Siel cars India Limited, the country one of the most prominent passenger vehicle maker, will be launching five new car models in country within next three years. With launch of Honda Amaze, the company has dived into the diesel sedan car segment and aiming to sell over 50000 units in financial year 2014. The first innings of Amaze sedan is tremendous and it has been a revolutionary model for the auto major.
The Japanese auto giant Honda is eyeing to grow its market in every segment of cars in country by near future. It has plans to bring its revolutionary urban vehicles to domestic market. After Amaze diesel sedan, the company has made announcement about the launch of diesel versions of Honda Brio, Jazz, City and Civic. Its small cars like Honda Jazz and Brio will have a smaller engine than 1.5 litre i-DTEC under the hood.
To strengthen the SUV-MPV segment, few months ago it has launched the 2013 version of luxury SUV Honda CRV which is doing well, and now mulling about the launch of Brio based compact MPV that will stand up against the Maruti Ertiga, Nissan Evalia, Mahindra Xylo and upcoming Chevrolet Enjoy. A next generation version of premium hatchback, Jazz seems to be rolled out by next year start. Overall Honda India has very strategic plans for the domestic auto market.


For six years now I've read every single story submitted to Hollaback!. They have inspired me, made me cry, and made me rage. But the ones that frustrate me the most are the ones where people blankly watched the harassment happen and never offered to help.
The failure of bystanders to act causes a double whammy of traumatization. First, you have some crappy thing happen to you. Then, you realize that no one cares, and that they are all just starring at you, doing nothing.
The silence from bystanders normalizes the harassment and leaves you thinking: Do they think it's your fault? That you're skirt was too short, or you were out to late at night? And as if that's not bad enough, then you start question yourself and wonder if they are right.
Hollaback! is launching the "I've Got Your Back" campaign to show bystanders how to intervene, and to celebrate when they do by mapping their stories. Join us as we build a world where we all have each other's backs.
Here's more on the "I've Got Your Back" campaign.
First and foremost, I want to thank you all for investing in Hollaback!. Your contributions have been critical over the past year and a half as we have built this organization from the ground-up. We take your investment in our work very seriously. To keep you informed about the impact of your investment, we are starting a series of donor-exclusive emails that are designed to give you a monthly snapshot of our organizational and movement-building progress.
-- Launched our fifth training class of Hollaback! site leaders. They come from Brussels, Belgium; Edmonton, Canada; Halifax, Nova Scotia, San Fransisco, California; and Portsmouth in the UK, and will officially launch their sites in April following completion of their training. They will join our community of over 150 site leaders in 44 cities, 16 countries, and 9 different languages.
-- Raised $15,000 in our end of year campaign (thank you to the 307 of you who donated)! We also received generous support from the Caruso Foundation and the Valentine Perry Snyder Foundation to advance our work here in New York City.
This work is made possible by your generous donations! If you donated in 2011 and haven't received your 501c3 tax exempt email notice, or if you'd like to be removed from this list, please let Veronica (veronica@ihollaback.org) know.
Thanks again for your incredible support of Hollaback! Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or ideas on how we can do our work better.
You need to be a member of Hollaback! to add comments!

New Head Coach to Lead NRFC for 2019/2020 Season
Following the announcement later last week that former Head Coach, Scott Williams, is joining his hometown club of Cwmbran RFC.
We at Newbridge are very pleased to announce that one of the Club's old favourite's will be taking up the reins of head coach for the 2019-20 season.
The man appointed at the helm is none other than our former playmaker and record points scorer, Jason Williams.
Director of Rugby, Dafydd Lloyd, has said "It's fantastic to be able to have Jason on board to lead our coaching staff and players next season. There really does feel like a fantastic buzz starting to build around the Club."
"Jason came in to support with some duties towards the latter part of 18/19 and really showed his coaching ability and his expertise in interacting with the players."
Jason is a highly committed, well organised and innovative coach. In his short period of time here he has displayed excellent organisational and leadership skills with the ability to create an environment where a successful team is able to flourish.
Jason comes with a fantastic coaching history
that will provide us with what we need to be a contender in Division 1 next season.
2010-2012: Backs coach at Tredegar RFC who were in Division 2 and gained promotion in his first year to Division 1 while also breaking the Clubs record for tries scored and points scored in a season.
2012-2015: Joined Nantyglo RFC who were in a Division 5 relegation battle.
They then gained promotion on consecutive years to get to Division 1 East.
Promotion of Nantyglo RFC:
Div 5 League winners 2012-2013
Div 2 League champions 2014-2015.
Dragons senior women/u18s girls 2016-2017 East Wales u18s girls backs coach 2016-2017
Dragons North RAG 16s boys attack coach
Dragons RAG 16s boys Championship squad backs coach 2017-2018
Dragons North RAG 16s boys Head coach 2018-2019
Jason added
"It's a massive honour for me to coach a club I loved so much as a player. I have had some great experience's in my coaching career to date and hope that there will be many more to come with this massively historic Club.
I am very excited about the task in hand and would like to reassure all at the Club that myself, the coaching staff and players will give nothing but 100% to bring back the good times by playing the Newbridge way. I am also looking forward to continuing the great work of the mini, junior and youth coaches by developing the Clubs young talent. We find ourselves in a very difficult league with some fantastic local derbies to look forward to but I am sure that with everyone's support we can enjoy a very successful campaign."
We are sure that you will join us in wishing Jason all the best for the coming season.

Call it wishful thinking but I had assumed that since the Kidlet hasn't yet mastered the manual dexterity required to catch and replace a released soother that he wouldn't be up for Halloween this year. Apparently he doesn't have a say and Mrs Kidlet has been nominated to speak on his behalf. As such I'm on the hook to find an appropriately cute Halloween costume for a 10 week old. That is the mission.
Oh, did I mention that Mrs. Kidlet isn't a huge science fiction fan, so the great Star Trek onesies I've featured on the right sidebar are apparently out of the question. I even explained the history of the 'red shirt' but to no avail. And so the search continues. I'll likely either update this post as I come across potential baby Halloween costume candidates, or throw up new posts to introduce the options, but for now I'll outline those that I've shortlisted. Feel free to let me know what you think.
Star Trek Baby Onesies (see the right sidebar).
Let it be known that I'm not overly thrilled with this one, but its proving difficult to find a baby costume that's worth posting AND isn't science fiction-related.
This baby bat costume has promise especially given that the Kidlet continues to be a spaz in terms of arm / hand control. As a result I expect that he'd unknowingly play the part of a constantly-flapping bat like a pro.
Not my thing, but I'll throw it in the mix to pad the cute factor (and prep Mrs. Kidlet for the break from rules to come). The mother-in-law would love the Pea costume… and Jr is definitely a pee machine, but I don't think I could bring myself to take him out in public in something like this. The Pea in the pod costume will stay on the list, but if purchased will be restricted to home and family viewing only. Photos are out.
*BAM* consider the rules broken. I mean, come on… its a baby Chewie costume, how can you not love this? Issues with this one is that it's more of a partially shaved infant Chewbacca costume with emphasis on hightop and shoulder hair… and where's the crossbow?
Front runners? Kirk and red shirt Star Trek costumes which have been purchased and will be kept well hidden until the time is right to break them out (Mrs. Kidlet, if you're reading this… well, I"m sure you expected me to purchase them anyway right?). Chewbacca obviously, and then… geez. I guess the Bat.

Happy Anniversary, Childhood Cancer STAR Act! Signed into Law One Year Ago Today

Teen Saved by Science Speaks Up for Kids' Cancer Research
by Zach Swart
Back in April, Ambassador Zach was finally healthy enough after his bone marrow transplant to go out in public. What did he decide to do after that momentous milestone? He joined the hundreds of advocates speaking up for kids' cancer research on Capitol Hill during Childhood Cancer Action Days. Here's his recap of that trip and the big moments that have come since …
Ambassador Zach poses for a photo in front of the United States Capitol building and its famous dome during Childhood Cancer Action Days in April.
I received a bone marrow transplant over a year ago, and I was so glad that I was healthy enough to speak on Capitol Hill this past April as a St. Baldrick's ambassador. As an ambassador, I am a face and a voice for childhood cancer, and while in Washington, D.C., my family and I represented thousands of children and families who are affected by childhood cancer. I was lucky enough to share my story and talk about the importance of funding childhood cancer research through the STAR (the Survivorship, Treatment, Access and Research) Act, the most comprehensive childhood cancer legislation ever taken up by Congress. With the recent passage of the STAR Act, we have come so far, but we still have so far to go.

Pass the STAR Act Now, Because My Daughter Deserved Better
by Rachael Kittleson
The STAR Act — the most comprehensive childhood cancer bill ever introduced on Capitol Hill — was just passed by the Senate and now heads to the House, backed by the support of Members of Congress, families, survivors and advocates like YOU. Why is this bill so important? Rachael Kittleson, the mom to a teen who had a pediatric brain tumor, will tell you …
Rachael (middle) smiles with Kelsey (right) and her little sister, Avery.
There is nothing in life that prepares you for the words, "Your daughter has a large tumor on the left side of her brain." There is nothing in life that prepares you for telling your husband devastating news about his girl. And there is certainly nothing in life that prepares you for how to keep your teenage daughter calm as you say, "You have to go to the hospital, but you are going to be fine."
I think back on watching my daughter Kelsey perform on stage or playing on the soccer and lacrosse fields. I think of the cancer breaking into her brain silently and lying in wait, like a burglar.
Kelsey was an energetic teenager and an accomplished athlete, playing both soccer and lacrosse.
For me, three years ago was such a time of pride and excitement as I watched our oldest daughter start to come into her own. She was an honors student, athlete, lead in the school musical, tutor and musician. While she was a normal teenage girl excited about things like her dress and date for her 8th grade dance, there was something else going on with Kelsey. The cancer was barely perceptible and easily dismissed, but it would eventually, most cruelly, take everything from her a piece at a time.
As Kelsey's spring schedule was in full swing, the tumor started to make itself known in innocuous ways – ways I easily brushed aside as a mother. I had no idea this was the beginning and the beast would be in full control in just a couple of months. As Kelsey's symptoms progressed, an MRI was ordered for August 27, 2015. That day would change our lives forever.
Pass the STAR Act, Because Kids With Cancer Don't Have Time to Wait
by Kathleen Henry
My kids are alive. My husband is alive. We are here and we are together. That is what I tell myself when the anger and bitterness take hold. My husband served the United States Army for over 22 years. During that time, two of our children, Collin and Patrick, were diagnosed with cancer.
Patrick and Collin are brothers and were both diagnosed with childhood cancer. Patrick, now 13 years old, was diagnosed with stage II intermediate risk hepatoblastoma, a rare cancer of the liver, in 2010. Collin, now 11 years old, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) when he was 2 years old.
While my husband fought on foreign soil, I served our nation as a military spouse and tackled childhood cancer with our kids in North Carolina. As a family, we sacrificed so much for this nation and yet we ask so little in return – just a chance for a brighter future. The Childhood Cancer Survivorship, Treatment, Access, and Research (STAR) Act can get us there.

St. Baldrick's Advocate of the Month: Ron Rozman
by Avis Matsuda, St. Baldrick's Foundation
Honored Kid Amanda was just a year old when she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma and only a toddler when she died. This is why her dad, Ron Rozman, advocates for kids' cancer research — so other parents and kids don't ever have to endure the cruelties of childhood cancer. Read on for more about his exuberant girl, her tough fight and his advice on how you can become an advocate, no matter where you live.
Ron and Michelle Rozman cuddle and laugh with their daughter Amanda during a day at the park.
She loved to dance. Three-year-old Amanda twirling around and exclaiming, "Whee! Whee!" in sheer delight is a precious memory for Ron and Michelle Rozman.
It's one of many favorite remembrances of their then-only child who was diagnosed with stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma when she was 16 months old.
It is these memories that now fuel Ron's dedicated efforts as an advocate for pediatric cancer research funding.

The RACE Act Passed – What This Means to Our Family
by Rob Lenfestey
We have big news. Yesterday, the the FDA Reauthorization Act passed the Senate which includes critical components of the Research to Accelerate Cures and Equity (RACE) for Children Act. Read on for more about the RACE Act and what this news means for Rob Lenfestey, the dad to Honored Kid Scott, and for families everywhere.
Honored Kid Scott 'speaks up' for kids' cancer research on Capitol Hill during this year's Childhood Cancer Action Days.
When our son, Scott, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at age 3, my mind was swimming with questions about his treatment options. During the last 20 years, the FDA has approved approximately 190 new cancer therapies for adults; only three new treatments have been approved specifically for treating kids with cancer. Our hopes hinged on the existing treatments available, and the prospect of drugs that may be waiting in the pipeline if conventional treatments weren't effective at killing his leukemia.

St. Baldrick's Advocate of the Month: Diana Toohey
This July, St. Baldrick's Advocate of the Month is Diana Toohey, the mom of Honored Kid Ethan. From his mom's advocacy on Capitol Hill to the $325,000 raised in Ethan's honor by his local St. Baldrick's events, his story has made a big impact. Read on to learn why Ethan is such a huge inspiration to so many people, including his mom, and why she speaks up for kids' cancer research in his honor.
Ethan smiles while wearing his favorite green shirt, which was emblazoned with the words, "Team 2E" in honor of Ethan and his family. Kids at his high school wore the shirts at a fundraiser in Ethan's honor on the day he died.
Diana Toohey travels to Washington, D.C., for Childhood Cancer Action Days, she calls and emails her legislators, and speaks up for kids' cancer research whenever she can. She does all of this so kids with cancer get the treatments and cures they need to survive.
But there's another reason she makes those phone calls and knocks on those doors.
She loves saying her son's name — Ethan.

SEATTLE, Wash. — With the 2008 presidential election closing in, Canalis International Corporation has designed a unique and limited collection of ornamental presidential portrait bottles. This breathtaking collection is sure to satisfy presidential voters looking forward to a historical election, as well as anyone interested in giving an impressive gift this holiday season.
Twenty years ago, the original collection was exhibited in New York where it received tremendous praise from the press. Several presidential portraits from the collection were presented to President Ronald Reagan, President Bill Clinton, and President George W. Bush as state gifts.
To preserve its future value, the collection is available to the public as a limited edition; only 3,000 sets are available, worldwide. The development of the collection was made possible by commissioning the assistance of over 100 top-notch inside painting artists who have artistically represented all 42 American presidents.
So, what is inside painting? This unique art form combines drawing, painting, and glassware-making. Presidential portraits are painted on the inside walls of the transparent bottles. Artists use custom-made, hook-like paintbrushes and place them through the small top hole of the bottle where they watch the painting develop from the outside in. Each artwork is completely handmade.
"It takes a crew of artists working together for weeks just to complete one set," Allan Jiang, President of Canalis International Corporation, said.
Each portrait bottle is approximately 3.5 inches tall, 2 inches wide, 0.75 inches thick, and weighs approximately 2.5 ounces. One side depicts the presidential portrait and the other side contains the bold eagle, presidential signature, and years of presidency. The collection is packaged in one deluxe case and totals approximately 25 pounds.
Inside painting art is typically presented as gifts to royalty, celebrities, and heads of states. After accepting his own inside painted portrait, President Reagan expressed his amazement by the patience and skill required for creating this unique artwork.

There are many fine things about Australia. The beer is not one of them. Pile it high and pump it out is the usual approach, and if you find something more delicately crafted, I bet it's come from somewhere else (probably New Zealand). Ah well. You can't have everything in a country.
Sometimes you see a shot coming just in time to get it lined up, focused and taken. Played for and got. I'm very happy with this one.


Next, if you are working together with tools make sure that you have a suitable tool belt. It should match properly so that it is certainly not slipping or falling off as you work. Do not carry tools in your hands while mountaineering a ladder. You want to make perfectly sure that your hands are free so you can contain a proper grip. Now, the ladder. The first thing you should perform is purchase ladder mitts. Ladder mitts are a gentle rubber mitt that fits on the top of the ladder. They provide two functions: 1 . The protect the ladder coming from scratching the siding of the house or whatever the step ladder will be leaning against. 2 . They grip to the area they are leaning against and stop the top of the ladder by sliding while climbing or working. You can also purchase a ladder stabilizer if you wish. This little bit of apparatus needs to be attached to the ladder and spans a lot feet. This adds extra stability to the top of the steps. We don't use these sometimes do.

Donald Trump vows to "strengthen" laws to allow torture, waterboarding
in End times headlines

Republican front-runner Donald Trump said he would "strengthen" laws to allow for the use of torture if he were elected president.
In an interview with "Face the Nation" host John Dickerson, Trump addressed the issue, which was raised during Thursday night's GOP debate.
"We have an enemy in the Middle East that's chopping off heads and drowning people in massive steel cages," Trump told Dickerson, speaking of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. "We have an enemy that doesn't play by the laws. You could say laws, and they're laughing. They're laughing at us right now. I would like to strengthen the laws so that we can better compete."
"You know, it's very tough to beat enemies that don't have any, that don't have any restrictions, all right? We have these massive restrictions. Now, I will always abide by the law, but I would like to have the law expanded," Trump said.
"I happen to think that when you're fighting an enemy that chops off heads, I happen to think that we should use something that's stronger than we have right now. Right now, basically, waterboarding is essentially not allowed, as I understand it. … I would certainly like it to be, at a minimum, at a minimum to allow that."
Trump discounted the argument that if the U.S. military used waterboarding, captured American soldiers and hostages could be subjected to worse treatment. Read More

Listening to an old time radio show can be a trip down memory lane into a time, when the radio was one of the main sources of entertainment.
There used to be a time, not too long ago, when stories were made up of words, and the audience had to conjure up how the characters looked and what the locations were like with their mental imagery. Between the 1930s and 1950s, radio programs were the main source of entertainment and a way of keeping track of everything happening in the country and abroad.
These shows gave people a chance to make use of their imagination, get into the skin of the characters, and become a part of the unfolding plot. One set of old time radio programs, that families really enjoyed, were the detective stories of Sherlock Holmes, which were aired frequently both in America and England.
These programs were brought to life by the excellent actors that lent their performing voices, such as Basil Rathbone and Carlton Hobbs. While the fans of some classic movies will recollect these actors playing characters like Holmes in movies, listening to them on a radio show was a different experience altogether.
The voice modulation they employed could bring to life an emotional scene, or daunting villains and gorgeous heroines far better than any TV program or movie could.
"Groucho: May I kiss your wife?
Contestant: That would have to be over my dead body.
Groucho: Have it your way. Fenneman, get the gun!"
When the participants answered a question correctly, a duck was brought down, and a quack sound could be heard, which told the radio audience that a contestant had made a fortune. The prizes could include anything, like donuts or money.
Then there were comedy shows, such as 'Abbott and Costello', which used to be a source of great entertainment. The 'Fibber Mcgee and Molly' program, which ran for a long time right from 1935 to 1953, appealed to that audience because it was full of running jokes. The people listening to it could visualize the comedy in it.
Another old-time favorite used to be any program that had Bob Hope. While there have been many great comedians over time, Bob Hope's fantastic timing and witty comebacks made him a class apart. The informal format of his shows allowed his guests to take part in the banter, and the show would be strewn with outstandingly funny comments being tossed about.
The variety of shows hosted by comedians like Bob Hope would also include singers, like Judy Garland and Bing Crosby, the performances of which made these shows priceless.
People in those days waited eagerly for their weekly dose of favorite programs, like The Shadow, Suspense, the Jack Benny Show, The Life of Riley, Amos and Andy, and their much-loved entertainers, like Danny Kaye, Jack Benny, Burns and Allen, Orson Welles, and so on.
In fact, one of the most notorious presentations of an old time radio show was the airing of the 'War Of The Worlds' by Orson Welles in the late 1930s. Meant to be a special program for Halloween, it was aired on 30th October.
Created like a news broadcast, families listening to it thought that Martians had landed on Earth and were decimating large parts of New York, when communication lines seemed to go dead. The impact that it made created widespread panic, which is indicative of the power and quality of such old time radio shows.
There was a wide variety in the genres of these shows, which included mysteries, thrillers, classics, comedy, etc.
The technology today is giving these old radio shows new life through DVDs, CDs, podcasts, and streaming audio. Many people are opting to listen and collect these programs because they find the experience of taking part in the theater of the mind, great fun.
Unlike electronic games and TV, it requires them to create their own pictures. In addition, it also serves as an entertaining way to experience a slice of the history of America, covering a fascinating time period from the 1930s to the early 1950s.

Trump's States Need Nafta
October 30, 2017 admin Analysis and Opinions, U.S.-Mex Relations 0
by Mary Anastasia O'Grady, WSJ
Coastal elites' won't be hardest hit if the President nixes the trade agreement.
Donald Trump's strategy to brand his political opponents swamp creatures may be what got him to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. But it's hard to see how it can continue to succeed when, in his zeal to zero out a trade deficit with Mexico, he has turned his sights on an important engine of growth in red-state America.
At a private luncheon with Republican senators last Tuesday, Mr. Trump reportedly shared his North American Free Trade Agreement negotiating strategy. According to Inside Trade, which spoke to senators who attended the gathering, the president believes that by issuing a notification of his intent to leave Nafta—which would trigger a six-month waiting period before the actual exit—he can force Mexico and Canada to make the concessions he wants.
"The president said there was no way to get the changes we need unless we get out, then have six months to negotiate," one GOP senator told the Washington-based trade publication. Mr. Trump reportedly did not say what those concessions are. The only clear goal, according to one unnamed senator, is ending the trade deficit with Mexico.
The "walk-away" strategy worries Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas, who told Inside Trade "that if you start the clock on NAFTA [withdrawal] that's going to send very bad signals throughout the entire farm economy." America's farmers and ranchers exported $17.9 billion to Mexico in 2016.
Mr. Roberts added: "And then to restitch that and put it all back together it's like Humpty Dumpty. You push Mr. Humpty Dumpty trade off the wall and it's very hard to put him back together."
Almost five million U.S. jobs rely on trade with Mexico, including jobs in auto manufacturing, auto parts, railroads, heavy equipment, machinery, oil and gas, steel fabricating, farming, ranching and food processing, as well as marketing, design, insurance, financial services and intellectual-property.
The pushback against Mr. Trump's Nafta assault is not coming from "coastal elites" contemptuous of what they refer to as "flyover country." It's coming from the "flyover" industrial and farming heartland itself, which has the most to lose.
Writing in the Kansas City Star on Tuesday, Kansas City Southern Railway Co. president and CEO Patrick Ottensmeyer noted that Mexico is Missouri's second-largest export market and Kansas' largest export market. Almost 100,000 Missouri jobs and 50,000 Kansas jobs depend on trade with Mexico. Exports from the two states to Mexico "have increased by more than 550 percent under NAFTA," wrote Mr. Ottensmeyer.
On Wednesday some 80 food and agricultural business groups sent a detailed letter to Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross warning the administration of the risks of withdrawal. "Contracts would be cancelled, sales would be lost, able competitors would rush to seize our export markets, and litigation would abound even before withdrawal would take effect," the letter said.
The auto industry is particularly vulnerable if Humpty shatters. On Thursday American auto makers, parts suppliers and dealers announced that they had "joined together for the first time in their collective history" in a coalition called Driving American Jobs that is designed to defend Nafta. The group noted that one million more vehicles were made in the U.S. in 2016 than in 1993, the year before the implementation of Nafta, which Mr. Trump calls "the worst trade deal ever made."
American protectionists say Mexico steals jobs, but that's fake news. According to a report by a Mexico-City-based economic consulting firm, the net creation of jobs in Mexico using American foreign direct investment is minuscule compared with gross job losses in the U.S. Manufacturing is interconnected on the continent so employment on both sides of the border tends to move in tandem. When the region's economy does well, North American job opportunities expand and vice versa.
Mexican companies also create American jobs. Grupo Alfa 's refrigerated-foods division buys American meat, supporting some 40,000 jobs north of the border. In Alfa's aluminum-auto-parts business, 4,500 of its 13,000 North American employees are Americans. More than 50% of its raw materials are sourced in the U.S.
Mexico has said it is eager to modernize Nafta. But with a Mexican presidential election in July 2018 there is no way the government is going to bow to the managed-trade demands of Mr. Trump, whose image inside Mexico is no better than that of James K. Polk, who presided over the Mexican-American War.
Mexico says that in a post-Nafta world it would buy its grain and meat in South America, prompting one wise senator to tell Inside Trade, "We're not in as strong a position as [Trump] thinks we are." As to manufacturing, companies are likely, at least initially, to pay any new U.S. tariff and pass the cost on to American consumers, essentially handing them a tax increase. Not exactly what Mr. Trump promised Middle America.

United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) may be one of the largest health nonprofits in the U.S. today, but that was not the case in 1949. In the 1940s, there were not many options for families of and people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities. Faced with fear and a lack of understanding by both the medical community and the general public, individuals with a disability were relegated to second-class status. Medical professionals frequently urged parents to warehouse their children in institutions where they lived out their lives, segregated from the rest of society. Parents who chose to raise their children at home learned that few services and supports were available to help their children lead full, productive lives in the community. With little contact between families of children with cerebral palsy, many parents felt isolated, helpless and alone.
In 1948, Leonard H. Goldenson, then-President of United Paramount Theaters and ABC Television, and his wife, Isabelle, joined forces with prominent New York businessman Jack Hausman, and his wife, Ethel, to improve the quality of life for their children with cerebral palsy and for others like them. The two families placed an advertisement in the New York Herald Tribune to recruit families interested in improving available services to children with disabilities so that families could stay together, and people with disabilities could be part of the community.
Hundreds of parents of children with cerebral palsy and other disabilities responded to the advertisement and joined the Goldenson's and Hausman's in their crusade to create an organization to improve service for people with disabilities. It was from this humble, grassroots beginning that UCP was born as a national organization in 1949. Several UCP affiliates opened across the country, quickly establishing the organization. Right at its inception, UCP brought issues about cerebral palsy and other developmental disabilities to the forefront of the national media.
UCP would not be where it is today — assisting thousands of people with disabilities and their families — if it had not been for a group of parents who were committed to pioneering an effort to change the world for their children.
Chartered as an affiliate of UCP in 1954, UCPRI is dedicated to the advancement of individuals that face life with a variety of disabilities including intellectual and behavioral.

Are Joe Jonas & Zayn Malik Friends? These Former Boy Banders Might Be Your New Fave Celebrity BFFs — PHOTOS
By Allyson Koerner
Stefania D'Alessandro/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
This one's for you, One Direction and Jonas Brothers fans. Whether you lean more towards one boy band over the other (or are against Nick Jonas for his words about Zayn Malik), who cares, because it looks like Joe Jonas and Zayn Malik are hanging out and becoming the latest celebrity BFFs. Do we have the next dynamic duo on our hands? It seems so, especially since the former boy banders were spotted together at the Louis Vuitton and Valentino 2016 spring/summer fashion shows.
So, are these two actually already best friends? I have no idea, but what does remain certain is that they've been chilling and posting photos together on social media. Plus, on more than one occasion Joe Jonas has spoken highly of Malik and One Direction. That's right, Jonas has been a fan of 1D for some time now, plus after Malik left One Direction, Jonas respected and understood his decision. If that doesn't say future BFFs, I don't know what does.
As Jonas told Clevver News in 2012 (when the Jonas Brothers were still together), he would have loved to tour with One Direction. Too bad that never happened! Whatever the case, the fact that the 25-year-old was willing to go on the road with 1D speaks volumes.
What speaks even louder is how much Jonas supported Malik on his huge decision of exiting 1D. He told HollywoodLife.com,
You know I think it is more for the audience than the actual band. We are all human and we are going through so many twists and turns. Look, I went through it myself and Nick, my brother, tweeted the other day that sometimes you have to go through some tough decisions to find true happiness and I stick behind him on that.
I am so happy that we are now as close as we have ever been and I think they are going through their own thing, I don't know it's their business. You know it is not easy. They are under so much scrutiny in their spotlight. And to live a normal free life is difficult, sometimes you want to be a kid and you want to grow up. To find normalcy in the craziness is the most important.
As for Malik, he hasn't really commented about their friend status, but he did share the above photos, which means he's totally all about the two musicians becoming friends — or so I like to think. Whatever the case, these two would make great friends, an awesome squad, and probably a great single — whenever they decide to collaborate.

Q: How to enforce a unique list of names associated with a name in another table Consider two related tables, T1 and T2, where the T2.T1_ID values refer to T1.ID values.
I'm looking for how to use a constraint, unique index, clever insert/select, or some other approach to prevent ending up with a duplicate T1.NAME associated with the same list of T2.NAMES.
Table T1
ID   NAME
 1  'fred'

Table T2
T1_ID  NAME
  1    'joe'
  1    'jane'

So, 'fred' is associated with 'joe' and 'jane'. I want to prevent inserting into T1 and T2 such that I end up more than one T1 NAME with the same associated T2 NAMEs.
That is, I want the overall attempt to do the following inserts to fail:
INSERT INTO T1 (ID, NAME) VALUES (3, 'fred');
INSERT INTO T2 (T1_ID, NAME) VALUES (3, 'joe');
INSERT INTO T2 (T1_ID, NAME) VALUES (3, 'jane');

Because it would result in the following (invalid) table contents:
Table T1
ID   NAME
 1  'fred'
 3  'fred'

Table T2
T1_ID  NAME
  1    'joe'
  1    'jane'
  3    'joe'
  3    'jane'

That is, 'fred' would be associated with the list 'joe' and 'jane' twice.
Note that it would be ok for there to be a different list of T2 NAMEs associated with the same T1 NAME. That is, the following should be allowed:
INSERT INTO T1 (ID, NAME) VALUES (3, 'fred');
INSERT INTO T2 (T1_ID, NAME) VALUES (3, 'joe');
INSERT INTO T2 (T1_ID, NAME) VALUES (3, 'jane');
INSERT INTO T2 (T1_ID, NAME) VALUES (3, 'kimberly');

Because it would result in the following (valid) table contents:
Table T1
ID   NAME
 1  'fred'
 3  'fred'

Table T2
T1_ID  NAME
  1    'joe'
  1    'jane'
  3    'joe'
  3    'jane'
  3    'kimberly'

The following would also be ok:
INSERT INTO T1 (ID, NAME) VALUES (3, 'fred');
INSERT INTO T2 (T1_ID, NAME) VALUES (3, 'joe');

Because it would result in the following (valid) table contents:
Table T1
ID   NAME
 1  'fred'
 3  'fred'

Table T2
T1_ID  NAME
  1    'joe'
  1    'jane'
  3    'joe'

A: You should restruchtire your design
First have one name table
user_table
ID   NAME
 1  'fred'
 2  'jane'
 3  'joe'
 4  'kimberly'

Her eon ID is promary KEY and  NAE gets ban Unique constraint
And a second table relationships
FK_ID1 FK_ID2
1      2
1      3
2      4

her you have a Priomary key (FK_ID1,FK_ID2)
this will enforce that fred only can befriend jane once, because adding another row would violate the primary key constraint
From my comment:
if you need to know if Fred has the same friends as Jane. the count would be 0
SELECt Count(*)
FROM (SELECT FK_ID2 FROM relationships WHERE FK_ID1  = 1) f1
LEFT JOIN (SELECT FK_ID2 FROM relationships WHERE FK_ID1  = 2) f2 ON  f1.FK_ID2 = f2. FK_ID2
WHERE f2. FK_ID2 is NULL

such bridge table, that define relationships between two entities can contain additional columns, but you should also keep normalisation in mind.

Q: Possibility to follow questions Sometimes I find a question that seems interesting and for some reasons I may want to follow it even though no one tag me or comment my answer (if any).
I can have different reasons for that:

*

*from strictly personal like being busy at the moment

*waiting for a clarification by the OP (say when a reproducible example is requested in comments)

*being curious to see other answers then mine.

So, I was thinking to something like the "favourite question" star but with temporary effect (users can choose among 1h/1day/1week) and enabling notification as I were tagged via @

Whipple's disease (WD) is a rare disorder caused by the gram-positive actinomycete Tropheryma whippelii (1). An oral route of acquisition is presumed (2). WD is a chronic systemic infection morphologically characterized by foamy PAS-positive macrophages. This case report depicts the diagnosis and clinical management of a woman who presented with atypical cardial manifestations of WD and died from severe cardiac impairment by Tropheryma whippelii which was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction. Histological assessment of myocardial specimens obtained at autopsy showed PAS-positive macrophages accumulating within foci of interstitial myocardial fibrosis. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated myocarditis with lymphocytes and neutrophilic granulocytes, which has not been reported so far in the course of WD.

Мендосасо () — социальный протест в аргентинской провинции Мендоса с требованием увеличения заработной платы, вылившийся 4 апреля 1972 года в волнения против диктатуры Алехандро Агустина Лануссе.

История

В 1972 году население провинции Мендоса выступило с требованием увеличить заработную плату. Однако глава военной хунты Алехандро Агустин Лануссе увидел в этом политический подтекст и решил ответить на него экономическими репрессиями: был отдан приказ об увеличении по Мендосе платы за электричество. В результате 4 апреля 1972 г. разозлённые жители провинции вышли на улицы и начали громить частные фирмы и дорогие автомобили. К концу дня полиция сумела подавить стихийные выступления. Было ранено и арестовано более сотни человек, сожжено более 100 машин и несколько троллейбусов.

Под впечатлением этих событий правительство не решилось поднимать налоги и срочно повысило заработную плату населения. Губернатор Мендосы Франсиско Габриэлли вынужден был уйти в отставку.
