You're probably all too familiar with the negative side effects of pregnancy, especially if you're pregnant. Sometimes, the side effects might even continue after you've delivered your baby while your hormones are still running rampant for a few weeks. Your acne might stick around for a while, your baby weight might be difficult to lose, and your shoe size might even change. However, in addition to having a wonderful new family member to fawn over, your pregnancy might have some positive side effects that last beyond delivery. After they deliver their first baby and resume menstruation, many women report fewer and less intense cramps during their period.
Painful menstrual cramps, also known as dysmenorrhea, are inconvenient and unpleasant. Few women go through life without them, as they are an extremely common symptom of menstruation. Some women even need to seek special treatment if their dysmenorrhea is particularly painful. Research shows that after pregnancy, you will probably have less painful cramps during your period. In fact, some studies even suggest that they'll go away altogether. This is certainly one of the more attractive side effects of pregnancy. Results from various studies suggest that this might be because pregnancy desensitizes the prostaglandin receptors in the uterus so that delivery is less painful. After pregnancy, the receptors don't become re-sensitized, and therefore menstruation is less painful from then on. While research shows that this is a plausible reason for decreased dysmenorrhea after delivery, there is still some debate as to the definite reason.
Whatever the reason, less menstrual pain after pregnancy is a wonderful thing. If you're upset about the ways your body is changing over the course of your pregnancy, this will at least give you something to look forward to. If you've had really intense menstrual cramps in the past before your pregnancy began, you can expect lighter and less frequent pain. If you rarely had cramps before your pregnancy, you might not even experience them anymore when you've had your first baby.
Once you're a new mom, cramps are the last thing you'll want to worry about. Luckily, you might not have to, as they'll be lighter and less frequent than ever after you've delivered your first baby. If your period is especially irregular after you've given birth otherwise, make sure you let your doctor know as soon as possible. Irregular menstruation is often a sign of another problem.

Looking for TV? Try The Movies
For the spring launch of "The Tudors," Showtime plastered gorgeous Anne Boleyn and lusty King Henry VIII on popcorn bags, lobby standees, handouts at the box office, behind-the-scenes content pieces and on-screen ads at some of the largest multiplexes in the country.
Just as the king pursued his queen, the pay cable channel embraced the cinema, spreading its message across the high-traffic real estate in ways it had never done before.
"We wanted to surround this audience because they're entertainment enthusiasts," said George DeBolt, Showtime's VP of media promotions and partnership marketing. "We made sure there were multiple points of contact."
Showtime is one of many TV marketers digging further into the relatively uncluttered venue, where six out of 10 moviegoers report watching the ads and 63% of them saying they didn't mind doing so, according to Arbitron Media & Marketing Research. Recall is about 55%, much higher than TV or other traditional ad platforms.
It's especially valuable as a marketing tactic because movie fans are well-stocked with in-home technology such as surround-sound, DVRs, video-on-demand and digital cable, a Nielsen NRG tracking study says.
"Cinema is a qualified audience buy," said Mr. DeBolt, who works with ad seller Screenvision to buy media in such chains as Mann, Pacific Theaters, Carmike Cinema and National Amusements. "It's a rich environment for us to tap into. That's where our consumers are."
TV has been one of the top three categories of advertising for the past five years at National CineMedia, the largest in-theater ad seller, seen in Regal, AMC, Cinemark and other chains. Discovery Networks, NBC Universal, Turner Broadcasting and others regularly use the big screen to air short entertainment pieces and ads for programming including the NBA Playoffs, "Planet Earth" and "Heroes."
"There's a great symbiotic relationship between cinema and TV," said Cliff Marks, National CineMedia president of sales and chief marketing officer. "They promote heavily on the weekends in the cinema so that people will watch TV during the week."
Screenvision has made four multimillion-dollar ad deals recently with broadcast and cable TV, said Mike Chico, the company's executive VP of sales and marketing. "Everybody's looking for a leg up, and there's been a heightened level of interest from TV networks in theater advertising."
Looking for their own leg up, cinema ad sellers are planning motion-sensitive ad panels on floors and lobby walls, live brand-based gaming on the big screen and other advanced technology as a way for in-theater advertisers to make an impression with entertainment fans. They expect TV networks will be among the first to try the new platforms.

ALAMEDA, Calif. – Terrelle Pryor will make his first career start at quarterback for the Oakland Raiders in their season finale in San Diego.
Coach Dennis Allen announced Friday that he is picking Pryor to start Sunday's game in place of the injured Carson Palmer. Pryor and Matt Leinart had been splitting time in practice earlier this week but Allen decided to go with the younger Pryor.
Allen says the decision was partly about wanting to have Pryor's athleticism in the game as well as looking to the future. The Raiders want to see what Pryor is able to do in extensive playing time before going into the offseason.
Pryor has been on the field for just seven snaps this season.


The disturbing atrocities committed at the LaLaurie mansion might explain why it's believed to be haunted.
Carolyn Morrow Long, author of Madame LaLaurie: Mistress of the Haunted House, gave a lecture at Gallier House in New Orleans on October 11. During the 30 minute talk, which included slides, she went over some of the surprising things discovered about LaLaurie while doing research for her book.
Delphine Macarty LaLaurie will forever be associated with the disgrace put upon her name following a fire that broke out in the kitchen of her home at 1140 Royal Street in New Orleans on April 10, 1834. As this fire raged, firefighters entered the home and discovered the horribly disfigured bodies of seven slaves that were chained up, in various degrees of starvation, and left to die. These terribly mistreated slaves, referred to as "bondspeople" at the time, were rushed off to be given medical care. Although it was illegal to treat slaves in such a way, even in the Louisiana of the 1800s, Madam LaLaurie didn't receive so much as a slap on the wrist by local police.
Enraged by what had been discovered in the LaLaurie home, and by the fact that Delphine (who was called a "demon in the shape of a woman" in papers following the fire) got away with her crimes, the people in town ravaged her house. By the time they were done with it, the home was almost completely destroyed, and LaLaurie had fled to Paris.
During the lecture Carolyn Morrow Long read a section from her book which goes into graphic detail about what exactly was found in that house on Royal Street during the fire in 1834. Pulling a direct quote from the French edition of a local newspaper called the Bee, Long provides firsthand evidence of Madame LaLaurie's crimes.
Seven slaves, more or less horribly mutilated ... suspended by the neck with their limbs stretched and torn from one extremity to the other."
According to articles that ran the day after the fire, among those held captive were a female slave who was over 60-years-old, and a man whose whole body was covered with scars, wounds filled with worms, and a hole in his head. During investigations it was found that LaLaurie tortured these people just to the brink of death but was careful to keep them alive for the sole reason that they could then suffer even more. According to Ms. Morrow Long's research, the main myth debunked in the case, that Lalaurie tried to make a human caterpillar girl, is found in virtually every recounting. The author states that while there's no evidence to back this particular tale, everything else was just as terrible as you could possibly imagine.
The author also noted that many ghost tours in New Orleans stop and point up to an attic area of the house, indicating that this is where LaLaurie kept her slaves captive, but in truth there was no such attic on the house in 1834. Per an article in the Times-Picayune, the third level is thought to have been added around 1837. In actuality, the gruesome crimes against her slaves took place in a room above the kitchen, which was set apart from the main house.
Carolyn Morrow Long also addressed the question that everyone asks when it comes to the story of LaLaurie, and that's whether or not the home is haunted. She expresses regret at not following up on a call she received years ago from a construction worker who had worked on the home and experienced paranormal activity saying "I bet he DID!"
According to the author's book, the home on Royal street changed hands many times following the fire and subsequent wreckage by locals on April 10, 1834. In 1837 LaLaurie's son-in-law, Placide Forstall, sold the home to a man named Pierre Edouard Trastour for $14,000, which was about half of the original purchase price. Only three short months later, Trastour sold the home himself to a man named Charles Caffin, who did a bit of renovating and is most likely the one who added the third level. From here it was bought and sold a few more times, even being turned into rental apartments at one point. The building is widely thought to not only be haunted but also cursed, since every person who has purchased the home from the 1830s on has fallen into financial ruin of some sort. This includes the actor Nicolas Cage who lived in the house but lost it to foreclosure in 2009. The LaLaurie mansion was listed for sale shortly after for $3,550,000—a far cry from the $30,000 or so the woman herself originally paid for it, even when adjusted for inflation. To this day the house is thought to be one of the most haunted, if not the most haunted, in New Orleans.


Dads are special, so they deserve the best on Father's Day! And I'm here to help you decide what to get your pops, all while staying local to the Rockford community!
Dads love sports. My dad has a variety of Cubs, Bears, IceHogs and Rivets swag to represent our local and regional teams. What better way to say, "You're awesome, Dad!" than treating him to a good 'ole baseball game at the Rockford Rivets Stadium! Rivets games are great because the stadium is so accessible, there is literally not a bad seat in the house, and it's a great way to spend a summer evening! Be sure to check out the Rivets' schedule because you might even catch a game where they finish off the night with fireworks! Once you finish watching a Rivets game, there's a good chance you'll just have to go to their merch store to buy a Rivets shirt or hat for the next game you go to with your dad.
The last time we had a cookout at my parents' house, I brought over brats to grill from 640 Meats and let me tell you, they were a hit! Brats, burgers, steak, chicken…any sort of juicy meat to grill will be appreciated by dads. Pop over to 640 Meats or Pinnon's and they'll help you pick out exactly what you're looking for. I'm sure you'll get bonus points if you do the grilling on Father's Day and let your dad relax!
We all know that moms love to get their nails done, but dads like to get pampered sometimes too! The Parlour in downtown Rockford knows how to cater to their male clients. Get your dad an appointment at The Parlour for a haircut or beard trim and he'll probably want to make monthly appointments. Not only do they do a phenomenal job with the trims, but customers will also be able to crack a beer while they're there! Beer while you're getting a haircut? What's manlier than that?
These are just a few suggestions out of many fun things you can do with Dad this Father's Day in the Rockford region! Whatever you do, just make sure Dad knows you care! Happy Father's Day all you dads out there!

Gilberto Ramirez Withstands Adversity; Retains WBO Title
EJ Williams Post Fight Recaps
Gilberto Ramirez
Gilberto Ramirez fights through an injury late to squeeze out the decision!
After taking the first loss of his professional career, Jesse Hart had an opportunity to exact revenge against Gilberto Ramirez. A second round knockdown seemed to make the difference in the scores the first time around.
Hart was highly motivated, Ramirez extremely confident and the fan intrigued was high.
Making the Adjustment
To start, Hart impressed by showing he made an adjustment to his approach. He used lateral movement on the outside and made sure to shoot the jab to dictate the pace.
Ramirez had trouble playing the stalker as long as his opponent continued to command with the jab and move.
However, knowing how Hart likes to exude the "Philly Bravado" in fights coupled by what seemed to be an uneasiness utilizing constant movement, it was evident the challenger would not keep up the pace he set.
A Repeat May Happen
By round three, Hart stopped moving as much and started to look fatigued. This is where the champion would take full advantage of his boxing ability. He would sting his opponent with combinations from the outside then pivot. Rinse, then repeat.
Hart would attempt to keep the pace he set, however, his legs would not allow it. This kept him more flat-footed and looking to engage more from mid-range to inside distance.
He was a sitting duck for most of the first half of the fight. Moving into the second half, the challenger resurrected his initial game-plan behind a second wind.
A Resurgence
By this time it was apparent that if Hart increases his workload behind the jab while being first from the outside, he would have the most success. If he relied on what he knows best, imposing his will on the champion, he would get outboxed.
The second wind would bode well for Hart as he reclaimed the pace he set in the first round. In the eighth round, the champion appeared to be injured as he would be reluctant to throw anything with his left.
As the round came to a close, it was reported Ramirez suffered an injury to his left elbow. When Hart noticed this moving into the championship rounds, he went in for the kill.
As the bell for the final round sounded, the fight was a toss up. Both combatants needed to have a huge round to show once and for all who was superior.
A Hell of a Round
Boxing may have gotten one of the best rounds of 2018! While Hart started the round well, Ramirez would hurt him with a huge right hand. The champion would follow up with a multitude of right hands while he kept his injured arm protected.
This surprisingly kept Hart on the defensive for the majority of the round. What fans were witnessing was the champion dominating his opponent with one hand!
Then all of a sudden, Hart lands a sneaky right uppercut that hurts Ramirez towards the end of the round. He attempted to finish what he started but the onslaught came a little too late.
In the end, the fight was close and the scorecards reflected this. One judge turned in a draw while the other two reached a 115-113 score for the champion.
3kingsboxing.com also scored the bout 115-113 for Ramirez. Both fighters gave their thoughts at the end of the fight.
"I'm moving up. I'm moving up to 175. If I don't see a big fight [at 168] I'm moving up."
Jesse Hart
"Terrible decision it was no contest tonight. I pressured him and outboxed him."
If Ramirez indeed plans to move to light heavyweight, that opens up some excellent opportunities in an already stacked division!

DARPA Reinvents The Wheel
Filed to:DARPA
I'm not sure just how closely you're tracking the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) research into making new, more potent and capable ground vehicles, but they've been working like very secretive and dangerous little beavers and coming up with some pretty remarkable things. Like a whole new take on the wheel, which, let's face it, has been resting on its laurels for quite a while.
The DARPA Ground X-Vehicle Technologies (GXV-T) program has some pretty ambitious goals, all based around the fundamental concept that it's getting harder and harder for armor vehicles to provide protection against modern weaponry, so instead of heading down a dead-end path to larger, heavier, more cumbersome, expensive, and less maneuverable vehicles, a new path should be taken.
The program lists its very ambitious goals as:
Reduce vehicle size and weight by 50 percent
Reduce onboard crew needed to operate vehicle by 50 percent
Increase vehicle speed by 100 percent
Access 95 percent of terrain
Reduce signatures that enable adversaries to detect and engage vehicles
Those are pretty steep goals. They put out this video to show some of the results:
While that video is full of amazing stuff, I think the most striking is Carnegie Mellon University's Reconfigurable Wheel-Track, which can dynamically morph from a (relatively) conventional round wheel into a triangular track. Here, look at this:
Wow, that's cool. The abstract of the Carnegie Mellon paper about these Wheel-Track system gives a good quick overview of their possibilities:
Wheels and tracks each boast a diverse set of properties that enable them to thrive in very different missions. Where once heavy armor and large weaponry was synonymous with safety for military ground vehicles, current development effort has shifted to the intelligent prediction and evasion of attack. A device capable of transitioning between wheel and track form would provide these vehicles with the efficiency advantages of a wheel and the mobility benefits of a track.
Essentially, you get the speed of a wheeled vehicle with the incredible all-terrain ability of a tracked vehicle, likely at the expense of complexity and weight. Plus, you'll need some manner of control system and power delivery to whatever is actuating the transition between track and wheel, but I'm confident all of this will be refined and you'll be able to buy a set of 15 inch wheel-tracks for your Prius by 2021.
There's plenty of other fascinating things in that video: windowless, VR-based driving (with less driver nausea), and this thing:
What remarkable times we live in.

Senior Managers & Certification Regime Oversight Solution
Suzi Mutch June 19, 2018 Commentary, Press Leave a Comment
According to CityWire, Sept 2017, regulator's records have shown that Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) investigations into approved individuals soared 149% from 61 to 152 following the launch of the senior managers regime (SMR) last year. The SMR is now being replaced by the Senior Managers & Certification Regime (SM&CR) which builds on the Approved Persons Regime.
The new regime marks a significant step up in individual accountability and the potential long-term repercussions for those accountable under SM&CR from behaviour (conduct) to decision making that does not meet the regulator's standards. This affects the senior management of banks, building societies, credit unions and dual-regulated (FCA and PRA regulated) investment firms as well as those employees who aren't senior managers but whose role means it's possible for them to cause significant harm to the firm or customers. As of December 2018 insurance firms will also need to adhere to these PRA and FCA guidelines.
Having good Governance and Oversight is the cornerstone of Governor Software. Richard Pike, the founder and CEO of Governor Software also sits as an independent non-executive director at three financial institutions and it is this experience that has provided Richard the very real insight into the phenomenal amount of material that non-exec directors must read, digest and make decisions on for which they can be held accountable.
It was this first-hand experience that led Richard to set-up Governor Software. To view a short demo of the Governor Software Governance and Oversight solution click here.
Richard recently spoke with Peter Walker, Editor at FSTech about the impact of SM&CR and the role that FinTech will play providing Bankers the tools required to navigate this regulation. Click on the link to read the article entitled "New Regulation could cause banking brain drain"


The Levi Corsair is one of the major milestones in the design career of the legendary Renato "SONNY" Levi featuring his world famous and never surpassed race-bred deep-V hull. No other boat on the market remotely compares, either in look or performance. Not surprisingly, considering her racing heritage, the Corsair is capable of speeds well over 40 knots and handles like a dream. The ride itself is unprecedented – super smooth and super dry – even in the roughest seas. High performance resins are used throughout the tough construction which incorporates the latest building techniques such as PVC foam sandwich in the top-sides and deck.
The cabin is lavishly furnished with a white marble galley as well as the rich "sapelli" mahogany joinery, which unites the interior in its sleek simplicity. Glide through any marina and this boat is guaranteed to turn heads.
The iconic flair and quality, of course, does not come cheap but Corsair represents brilliant value for money for those who have an appetite for all those traditional values and for something genuinely unique that everyone will admire from close or afar.

IT-La traduzione italiana classica di Oreste del Buono si trova in parecchie edizioni della raccolta di racconti con lo stesso titolo.

ENG- The essay was first published in The Atlantic Monthly in December 1944. It is considered a seminal piece of literary criticism: although Chandler's primary topic is the art of detective fiction, he touches on general literature and modern society as well.
Raymond Chandler "The Simple Art of Murder"
Fiction in any form has always intended to be realistic. Old-fashioned novels which now seem stilted and artificial to the point of burlesque did not appear that way to the people who first read them. Writers like Fielding and Smollett could seem realistic in the modern sense because they dealt largely with uninhibited characters, many of whom were about two jumps ahead of the police, but Jane Austen's chronicles of highly inhibited people against a background of rural gentility seem real enough psychologically. There is plenty of that kind of social and emotional hypocrisy around today. Add to it a liberal dose of intellectual pretentiousness Continua a leggere/Continue reading

(November 26) Dubai International Capital, an investment company owned by the ruler of this booming Gulf city, has acquired a stake in Sony Corp., both companies said Monday.
The purchase is the latest by Middle East investors who have become more aggressive in looking for investment opportunities overseas.
United Arab Emirates-based DIC described its investment in Sony as "substantial" in a statement posted on the company's website, but did not provide a specific ownership percentage.
Sony spokesman Daichi Yamafuji confirmed DIC's purchase but refused to provide any other details.
"It's the other party that acquired the stake and we decline to discuss any other details such as the number of shares involved," he said.
The chief executive of DIC, Sameer Al Ansari, said the investment in Sony, which owns consumer electronics, video game and movie businesses, was "consistent with our mandate of supporting premier global companies."
"The combination of Sony's truly global brand, its leadership in product design and its global footprint will spur the business' medium term growth as it capitalizes on positive underlying trends and emerging technologies," said Al Ansari in the company's statement.
DIC was established in 2004 and is owned by Dubai-ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The investment company has made several other prominent investments this year, acquiring 9.9 per cent of Och-Ziff Capital Management Group, a US-based alternative asset manager, and 3.12 per cent of European Aeronautic Defence & Space Co., which builds Airbus commercial planes and military aircraft. The firm also holds stakes in DaimlerChrysler AG and UK bank HSBC Holdings Plc.

Job openings raised to record high
Business, Politics, World
Accommodation and food services (+349,000), other services (+115,000) and durable goods manufacturing (+78,800) have the largest number of vacancies.
For many reasons, Americans have been slow to return to work after the pandemic, so the number of job vacancies hit a record high. Economists say fears of infection, lack of available childcare services and supplementary unemployment benefits are contributing factors.
There was little change in the number of recruits in April, at 6.1 million.
The total number of departures, including departures, layoffs and departures, increased by 324,000 to 5.8 million. The resignation rate reached a record 2.7%, as record vacancies provided workers with opportunities to switch to new opportunities. At the same time, the layoffs and discharge rate hit a record low of 1%.

Dear England, We Like You - But Do You Like U.S.?
Next 8 Best Things to Buy in April
Previous Google, Facebook and Amazon Dream Big and Bold
Filed under: Travel, Global Economy, Travel Industry, Vacation Planning, Spending
Matt Dunham/APAt the Tower of London, the yeoman warders -- called Beefeaters -- attract tourists.
The snow is melting, the birds are chirping, and all around us, spring has sprung. So naturally, it's time to start thinking about summer. Specifically, the summer vacation season, and where you want to spend it this year.
Summer Is Coming
America holds multiple possibilities for vacation destinations, from Disneyland to Mt. Rushmore to ... Disney World. (We jest a bit, here.) But to get the most bang for your buck this year, you'll probably want to think about traveling internationally.
According to CNBC, "the ruble is down, and the euro is sliding back to levels not seen in over a decade." If this keeps up, vacationing abroad could be the best way to stretch your dollars furthest. And in that case, even though spring just sprang, it's already time to start booking flights.
Where Would You Like to Go Today?
The possibilities are legion. Take Russia, for example. Who wouldn't want to take a tour of the Kremlin, ride the Trans-Siberian Railroad, or see the White Nights in St. Petersburg? And with U.S. dollars buying nearly twice as many rubles today as they did a year ago, Russia's almost never been cheaper.
Problem is, the Russians themselves aren't particularly pleased with the devaluation of the ruble, and all too often, they blame us for that. The latest reports out of Pew Research show that only 23 percent of Russians polled have a favorable opinion of the United States -- while 71 percent view us unfavorably. This suggests that despite its current cheapness, a visit to Russia today could prove uncomfortable.
Perhaps it's better to visit a country that we like, and where they like us, too?
A Continent's-Worth of Possibilities
The rest of Europe, however, offers better possibilities. Currently, $1 will buy you 92 euro cents. That's up from about 75 euro cents a year ago -- making Europe, as CNBC put it, the cheapest it's been "in over a decade." So where would you like to go?
According to a new poll out of Gallup, the country we like best worldwide is Canada. Americans give our neighbor to the north a 92 percent rating for "overall" favorability. But in decade-cheap Europe, our top three favorite countries are Great Britain, France and Germany -- in that order. Ninety percent of Americans polled view our former Colonial masters favorably, with France and Germany polling positively at 82 percent and 81 percent, respectively.
These feelings, however, are not always mutual.
Oh, Britons like us just fine -- 66 percent favorable, 27 percent unfavorable, according to Pew Research. And in France, they positively nous aiment -- 75 percent favorable ratings for the U.S., versus just 25 percent unfavorable. Germany, however, is almost evenly split in their opinions of Amerikaner, with 51 percent expressing favorable sentiment for the U.S., but a whopping 47 percent unfavorable.
So if you're planning a trip to Germany, maybe it's best to give them some time to reconsider. (Oktoberfest, anyone?)
Meanwhile, one possibility that wasn't covered on Gallup's poll of countries that Americans love most (but maybe should have been) is Italy. At 78 percent favorability, it's the single European country that appears to love us best.
Act Fast, This Offer Expires Soon
Final thought here: Now that you know which countries Americans like most -- and which ones are likely to give you the warmest reception on your summer vacation -- it's time to talk timing.
According to website FareCompare.com, the best time to reserve a ticket for international travel is "between 5½ months and 1½ months before departure." Meanwhile, CheapAir.com suggests you book even further in advance -- and try especially hard to avoid buying within three months of departure, warning that "about 90 days before departure... the pace of [price] increase starts to accelerate." In which case, the time to start looking for plane tickets for summer travel is... now.
So act soon, while these countries are still cheap, and while their affection's still warm.
In just a couple of weeks, Motley Fool contributor Rich Smith will be flying off to Austria -- one of the few countries for which Pew doesn't provide favorable/unfavorable ratings. He's not at all certain what sort of reception he'll get. Try any of our Foolish newsletter services free for 30 days, and check out The Motley Fool's one great stock to buy for 2015 and beyond.

These are some lies we made up about Cogswell.
Frankenstein's Monster can frequently be distinguished creeping out of Meszaros Slough covered in slime very late at night.
The ghost of an elderly Indian chief has from time to time been made out resting at the kitchen counter in a Cogswell trailer pushing orbs around.
The phantom of an elderly cleaning lady is every so often perceived striding through an apartment in Cogswell. Regardless of what people exclaim, it unquestionably is a bloodcurdling ghost that is preferably not disturbed.
The ghost of a young woman clad as a maid has purportedly been witnessed on many occasions wandering through an apartment outside Cogswell. Local people allege that this ghost is the stressed soul of a long gone Cogswell resident. One thing's for certain, this is an unfriendly ghost that you don't want to come across very late at night.
The ghost of a young-looking cowboy may sometimes be spotted at a pay phone in Cogswell using the telephone. A man who lives here asserts that this ghost is that of a local resident who settled here in Cogswell a long time ago.

(JTA) — President-elect Donald Trump denied that he is trying to get security clearances for some of his children.
News reports this week said that Trump was seeking the clearances for his two adult sons, as well as his Jewish daughter, Ivanka Trump, and her husband Jared Kushner, who has been a key Trump adviser.
The Associated Press and other media reported Monday that Kushner, 35, is exploring the legality of staying on as an unpaid adviser when Trump assumes the presidency to work around federal anti-nepotism laws. Kushner has helped shape Trump's Israel policies.
Ivanka Trump has said she would not work in a Trump administration.
Laws in place since after President John F. Kennedy named his brother Robert attorney general ban a president from nominating or appointing close family, including in-laws, to administration positions.

(Reuters) - Merck & Co Inc's cancer drug Keytruda failed a late-stage trial's main goals of slowing disease progression and extending the life of patients with a common type of liver cancer, the company said on Tuesday.
The results could hamper prospects for the drug, which had received an accelerated approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in November as a treatment for patients with advanced liver cancer who had been previously treated with Bayer AG's Nexavar.
Keytruda, which is approved to treat several forms of cancer including skin and lung cancer, is Merck's biggest drug and brought in revenue of $7.17 billion last year.
The late-stage Keynote-240 study was testing the blockbuster cancer drug in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who were previously treated with systemic therapy.
The drug's continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon the results of confirmatory trials, Merck said.
While patients on the drug did see some improvement in overall survival and disease progression compared to those in the placebo group, the results were not statistically significant.
Even though disappointing, the results are generally consistent with findings from the mid-stage study which led to Keytruda's accelerated approval, Merck said in a statement.
The drugmaker, whose shares fell about 1 percent in after-market trading, said it is testing Keytruda in 10 clinical trials as a treatment for HCC.

Dreamworld engineer admits red flags
A series of equipment failures before the tragic accident that killed four people at Dreamworld should have raised red flags and been investigated, the manager of engineering says.
Chris Dreaves, who joined the theme park in 2012, told an inquest into the deaths that there were multiple breakdowns in the lead up to the tragedy in 2016.
He said malfunctions on October 19, 22, 23 and twice on the morning of the October 25 - the day of the accident which killed Cindy Low, Kate Goodchild, her brother Luke Dorsett and his partner Roozi Araghi - should have been investigated.

They died when a water pump on the Thunder River Rapids ride malfunctioned, resulting in two rafts colliding and flipping.
Mr Dreaves said the water pump was not considered a "critical" piece of equipment to the function of the ride and may have explained why the issue not escalated.
"Over the years, the pump outages were commonplace," he said.

When asked if staff were actively searching for potential hazards on theme park rides, Mr Greaves said they were not and admitted his department may have been understaffed.
"Predominantly our department are tradesmen, so the work would come in and we'd say 'alright, we need to fix that in that amount of time'," he said.
"We didn't have a tool that could steer you in that direction to go out and look for hazards. We just couldn't all walk out and say we're going to discover some hazards today."
Mr Dreaves confirmed that to his knowledge, the theme park did not have instructions or a plan of maintenance from the manufacturer of the rapids ride and staff had created their own maintenance regime, which he said had not been assessed by an engineer.
Earlier on Tuesday, a former senior official at Dreamworld parent company Ardent Leisure apologised to the family of the victims as he completed his testimony.
Former safety manager Angus Hutchings said he was dreadfully sorry for their loss.
"I would like to offer the families of victims a genuine and heartfelt apology of the indescribable suffering you have experienced," he said.

Mr Hutchings was questioned about a report into an incident in 2001, in which one of the rafts flipped during a dry run of the attraction.
He became aware of it after the tragedy.
He said the report that concluded the accident was a "one off" and could not happen again was flawed and did not take into account human error.
Asked what he would have done to investigate the incident, Mr Hutchings said he would have ordered a full audit.
The inquest into Australia's worst theme park disaster resumed on the Gold Coast this week for two weeks of hearings following sittings in October and June.
The inquest continues on Wednesday.

The anti-whaling ship the Steve Irwin is withdrawing from its pursuit of the Japanese whaling fleet in the Southern Ocean to refuel.
The captain of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's protest ship, Paul Watson, says the move will leave the Japanese fleet free to slaughter whales over the next fortnight.
Captain Watson says the Steve Irwin has prevented the fleet from catching any whales for the past two weeks.
But he says now the protest ship needs to refuel, there is nothing standing in the way of the Japanese whalers.
"It's frustrating but we had to do this last year - we don't have any choice," he said.
"It will probably take us two weeks and then we'll be back again.
"Last year we chased them until March and the only time they were able to kill whales was when we came back.
"Unfortunately we only have the one vessel and we don't really have any support down here, so we don't really have much choice."
Captain Watson says the Japanese fleet "refuels illegally".
"They bring a supply vessel in. You're not allowed to do that but they do it anyway and nobody does anything. We don't have that luxury.
"Australia should have a boat down in these areas, especially in the Australian Antarctic Territory, where there seems to be no monitoring of exploitation of anything - whales or fish or anything."


QUESTION: Parts and service support is critical to equipment users. Is Komatsu doing anything new in this area?
ANSWER: During the past two years, Komatsu focused heavily on customer engagement, being side-by-side with them at jobsites. We want to know what's working, what isn't and how Komatsu can improve its capabilities and resources, so we can anticipate their needs and proactively talk to them about solutions. We are now extending this initiative to focus on customers' needs when they are interacting at distributors' parts counters and over the phone. Our goal is to make sure Komatsu machine owners have the right parts, the first time and every time.
QUESTION: What information have you discovered in these customer visits?
ANSWER: Customers told us what they really need from Komatsu, things we can do to improve our support levels and ensure their machines continue to be productive, with as little downtime as possible. They also expect parts to be on-hand when needed. Are we always perfect? No, but customers understand that we always strive for continuous improvement, so we can show how we add value to their operations. That's our mission.
Monitoring a machine's health with oil sampling, daily checks and other proactive steps is essential to its performance, according to Paul Moore, Vice President, Parts Sales & Marketing. "Think of it in terms of your own health. A regular checkup may identify a potential issue that can be addressed and taken care of quickly," said Moore.
QUESTION: What are some examples of how Komatsu is working to better support customers?
ANSWER: One is our General Construction Undercarriage, which was introduced for certain mid-size PC200-300 class excavators a couple of years ago and will expand to include dozers. It offers a competitively priced Komatsu undercarriage option that is guaranteed to fit the customer's machine. It's all supported by an industry-best, four-year/5,000-hour assurance program. Another example is the new Komatsu Genuine Oil. Equipment technology continues to expand and so does the need for upgraded maintenance items to keep machines running at peak performance.
In the near future, we will introduce a new online parts-ordering system that will integrate KOMTRAX data, manuals, factory campaign notices and much more information to assist with machine management activities and improve the customer's experience.
QUESTION: Earlier you mentioned being proactive. Why is that so important?
ANSWER: Think of it in terms of your own health. If you wait until you are sick to go to the doctor, recovery may take longer and cost more time and money. A regular checkup may identify a potential issue that can be addressed and taken care of quickly. Monitoring the health of the equipment, taking oil samples and performing daily walk arounds as well as having regular machine inspections by the Komatsu distributor's PSSR for example, are vital to its performance. If something shows up, it may or may not need immediate attention. If not, the owner can plan to have it fixed as soon as possible.
We also offer several parts-related programs such as Firm Future Order and zero-percent parts and service financing. Solutions such as these help owners save thousands of dollars, plan for downtime, guarantee parts and technician availability and allow repair payments on a schedule that works for them. The idea is to preplan the machine maintenance and let customers lock in pricing, guarantee parts availability and schedule the work at a convenient time. We encourage customers to contact their Komatsu distributor for more information.

'BTS' Miniature Figures Failure: Suffers The Same Fate With 'One Direction's Doll Tragedy'
Reysel Montero
A day after the launching of 'BTS Mattel doll,' fans of the phenomenal Korean boy band expressed different reactions towards the result of the creative collection inspired by the Barbie-maker. Some expressed amazement on the work of the toy manufacturer; while others are incredibly disappointed pointing out the failed resemblance.
Was it an extraordinary masterpiece or another failed attempt to represent the famous Kpop band?
The famous toy manufacturer first announced its collaboration with BTS in January 2019. And, the first glance at the upcoming doll collection from Mattel, the American toy manufacturer, and Barbie-maker, based on Korean boy band superstar BTS has finally been revealed yesterday, March 26. The figures were shared through Twitter teasing every fan of individual and group shots of the pint-sized pop stars.
Mattel's official account on Twitter posted 'Mic Drop Army!' referring to BTS 2017 single that has garnered RIAA-certified platinum hit.
MIC Drop, ARMY! For the first time ever, we're thrilled to show you the line of #BTSxMattel fashion dolls! Take a look at V, SUGA, Jin, Jung Kook, RM, Jimin and j-hope as dolls inspired by the Idol music video! #BTSDollsOfficial @BigHitEnt pic.twitter.com/0fd1XpLVFF
— Mattel (@Mattel) March 26, 2019
'For the first time ever, we're thrilled to show you the line of #BTSxMattel fashion dolls! Take a look at V, SUGA, Jin, Jung Kook, RM, Jimin, and J-hope as dolls inspired by the idol music video!'
Mattel had been teasing silhouettes and close up shots of the dolls since earlier this month, creating a spur of excitement to BTS' fans. And the recently shared images of BTS boys in full effect with lights and all, are the highlights of this week's show. However, the Korean boy band's fans collectively known as 'ARMY' had mix reactions on the group's miniature figures.
A majority of the fans across the globe are fuelled on the recognition given by the American Toy Manufacturer. Unfortunately, some think that Mattel should finish first its sketches before actually producing the effigies.
Also, there were those who criticized the colorful suits that these men wore. The seven figures feature copies of BTS' members dressed in multi-colored suits which they wore in their 'IDOL' music video released last August. But, it wasn't the all smiley-faces that fans are worrying about; it's the lack of originality on the suits. They claimed that it was not an exact representation of Korean fashion, but instead a mere pun on the models themselves.
"Mattel can do more, can't they? It can be creative enough to think on a good sense of clothing style for the super tars, now fans have to close their eyes so as not to get hurt with too many bright colors," a fan says to Z6Mag.
At a public post generated by Z6Mag, the reason why Mattel gave so much effort and money to invest with BTS' dolls is due to the fact that the well-known boy band group will hit the US and several other countries across the globe later this year. With that, a grand teaser for the coming of music video icons to the US will be a good idea and possibly may surprise US-based fans. Well, maybe not if they are represented by brightly colored clothes and awkward faces.
Now, the thing is, we cannot blame the fans for reacting too much on the recently released doll version of BTS. They have been through the group's ups and downs; from gathering little audiences or small crowds back in Korea's local bars and hard-earned shows to its huge success especially when they topped the Billboard 200 albums chart on two occasions last year. As what the Philippines-based fans said, avid supporters have all the right to react and comment on the finished product.
Below is the tweet from @Carolinacolorad, gathered from New York Post.
'I mean… Nice effort. I had barbies when I was a child, and I love BTS will all my heart. So.. I expected more and I don't like them, they are a little creepy.'
The appearances of the doll versions are somewhat creepy, but it does resemble a little bit of the boy band. But the hair, seriously Mattel? The hair just ruined everything. It could have been better if the hair is placed neatly on top of their head; even fans know the exact way on how BTS rock their hairstyles.
BTS Dolls
As the wildly successful South Korean pop group skyrocketed and amassed a dedicated fanbase, it has become the latest band to receive the 'longed for' toy treatment. And, no doubt about that as their presence in the public eye has plummeted over the past years.
But, some couldn't get down with Mattel's interpretation. Was it another 'Hasbro' tragedy? We haven't moved on yet from the great 'HASBRO' One Direction doll tragedy back in November 2012 which made Harry Styles looked like a worn out singer.
Despite a general sense of disappointment, ARMY acknowledged that choosing BTS among different famous boy bands is a huge success for both fans and the pop group, and it reflects the impact of Kpop popularity not just in Asia but across the globe.
The boy band will conquer different countries including the US later this year with a stadium-sized show as part of their 'Love Yourself: Speak Yourself' tour. Now, fans can forgive Mattel of overdressing and making unrealistic BTS' doll version but the failed introduction/interpretation of the boy band superstars to the Hollywood will always be remembered.
The BTS fashion dolls will hit the shelves on September this year.

our wonderful driver. he knows Wadi Rum like the back of his hand. the perfect route and timing, exactly where he could go super fast and then skid on the sand and which way is the easiest for us to climb up on the rocks. and every time we would stop he would open all the doors and blare local music super loud.
to finish off the day our driver went to the best sunset watching place and we hung out there for a while. he had bought fruit on the way and cut that up for us. he built a fire and made us tea. and we watched the stars come out. his name is Abdullah.
Bulgarian night. lots of Bulgarian crew.
sports day. this is an event that kids do in Japan every year mainly in elementary school and sometimes up through high school. it's taken very seriously with students starting to prepare about two months before the event. many people took it just as seriously when we held the event on the boat. there were four teams. here is my team- red doing tug-of-war.
and the blue team doing performance event.
and the award ceremony. my team won!!!
the nice guys (even though they may not look it here) that shared there lunch with us.
Arabian night. our crew members came from all over the world and throughout the voyage we would have special nights where groups from different countries would hold a party with traditional dinner and drinks, music and dancing, and some performance.
Aoi demonstrating the best way to scare snakes away before we went for a walk in the woods.
Jon, Chihiro, and i did a series of events together called Peace Boat Math. we would talk to the captain, bar tenders, cruise director, etc. and get information and statistics about the boat and passengers and so on and then make math problems (that's what is up on the screen in the background). here we are trying not to melt as we wait for everyone to finish working on the problem. if you think this is strange i think you are right, i totally agree with you (it was all Jon's idea) but it was fun.
one of the oldest passengers. maybe 84 years old.
two of our beloved interpreters.
some of the English teachers did a workshop on travel safety. here we have the second appearance of our very own Peace Boat superhero. you may remember her from day #5 when she was saving the day as Captain Communication. here she is giving a helping hand as Captain Common Sense. she is also one of my roommates.

Ian Ritchie Architects
Westfield – Whitecity
White City Central Line Sidings
West London Line Station
Ian Ritchie Architects were commissioned by Chelsfield plc in December 1997 to re-conceive a Master Plan and Architecture for the urban regeneration of approximately 15 hectares at White City, London, as a local and regional shopping and leisure destination together with the creation of new public transport interchanges and community facilities for west London.
The West London Line Station at Whitecity forms part of the Southern Interchange, a major transport node and gateway to the Whitecity development. Analysis suggests that 50% of the pedestrian traffic to and from the Whitecity development will arrive/depart via the Southern Interchange.
The overall composition of the Southern Interchange extends the regenerative effect of the Whitecity development beyond the confines of the development site by making a physical connection to Uxbridge Road.
The Shepherd's Bush West London Line Station establishes a relatively discreet presence at the Holland Park Roundabout/ Uxbridge Road junction. The scale of the station matches that of the proposed remodelled Shepherd's Bush Central Line Station and the new commercial units on the opposite side of the Southern Interchange.
The formal layout of the station building and footbridge establishes a visual connection to the existing pedestrian routes adjacent to Holland Park Roundabout. This is beneficial to pedestrians and station users in respect of promoting passive surveillance and animating the existing external pedestrian routes.
The station presents an attractive and user friendly entry and exit to the surface rail network consistent with the high standard of design established for the Whitecity development. It was completed in 2007.

Why Do People Get Engaged Really Fast? The Psychology Behind A Short Courtship Is Beyond Fascinating
By JR Thorpe
Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images Sport/Getty Images // Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Celebrities are different from the rest of us. While we private citizens average about 3.2 years in a relationship before we consider getting engaged, and tend to pop the question at the end of our twenties, some people — like, say, Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson — may get engaged in their early 20s, after dating publicly for only a few weeks. Now, Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are the latest to join this club, after dating on and off for several years, and becoming "on" again around a month before Bieber reportedly proposed. But a very, very quick engagement isn't just a celebrity thing, though — people do it all the time. And the psychological reason why people get engaged really fast is, in a word, fascinating. What drives people to make a huge commitment to someone they may have never even heard snore?
"Getting married is the most powerfully formal expression of love or feelings for one another," says Joshua Klapow, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and host of The Kurre and Klapow Show. "It's often a way to publicly and privately solidify feelings, formalize feelings, and create a base of stability in a life that can be very unstable."
"Many celebrities struggle with living a life of constant scrutiny and erratic schedules," Caleb Backe, a health and wellness expert for Maple Holistics in New Jersey, tells Bustle. "This complicated lifestyle compels them to latch onto whatever they can to ground them. That being said, it makes sense why they [may] rush into marriages, because it allows them to maintain some semblance of stability in their chaotic existence."
While studies haven't specifically looked at the phenomenon of young celebrities getting married quickly, a 2014 study that looked at high rates of engagement and marriage among young people in the U.S. military may provide some insight. Researchers found that members of the military were more likely to get engaged or married younger because of the emotional and economic benefits; while people in the military often have a steady, reliable career progression, their jobs can involve high pressure, personal risk, and instability, which entails a lot of personal separation from loved ones.
"Military couples know that it is quite possible that they may not see their significant other for long periods of time, and there are similarities for celebrities," says Klapow. "The travel, the separation, and the uncertainty that comes with a celebrity lifestyle can prompt young celebrities who have feelings for one another to want to find stability."
But those are people in uniquely high-pressure situations — what about your cousin's ex who got married to the literal next person he met? When it comes to young people in particular, many people are quick to dismiss a fast engagement as the whims of someone who has no idea how to control their impulses. But it turns out that the idea that young people are simply following their gut urges at every turn isn't all that factual.
According to research from 2017, young people who appear impulsive are simply trying to experience new things and explore. But young adults don't actually lack a neural "control" switch in their brains; the study found that in most brains, the ability to exert cognitive control (and stop yourself from doing something stupid) develops way before we turn 25. And, since we're talking about successful artists here, it's worth noting that being successful in most areas, studies have found, actually requires quite a lot of impulse control to help you work hard when you want to be partying.
Another facet of the issue, experts say, is that we think of a quick engagement as being an impulsive decision, but it isn't automatically. "Getting engaged quickly doesn't necessarily mean that you're an impulsive person," says Backe. "Impulsivity implies that your actions are driven by base needs and desires, as opposed to rational thought. In many cases, getting engaged quickly may actually be a smart decision." And if that's the case, then who cares?
At the end of the day, nobody can judge anybody else's engagement journey; I got engaged after 18 months to a dude I hadn't lived with, and we're coming up to our 5 year anniversary this summer. Just because it's rapid and happens in the glare of paparazzi doesn't mean it won't last.

Cadmium (Cd) is considered one of the most hazardous heavy metals. Therefore, it is important to detect Cd. A polyclonal antibody that recognizes Cd–ethylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid complex was prepared via the injection of BALB/c mice with Cd–2-(4-aminobenzyl)-diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid–keyhole limpet hemocyanin. A simple, inexpensive, and reliable indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on the polyclonal antibody was developed for determination of Cd. The assay was specific to Cd with an IC50 value of 2.042 μg mL−1 and the detection limit of 0.0135 μg mL−1. Cross-reactivities (CRs) with Cu2+, Pb2+, Zn2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Fe2+, and Ni2+ were below 0.001% except for Hg2+ with a CR less than 6%. The recoveries from deionized water were from 92.2% to 116.0%. Results indicated that the ELISA based on the polyclonal antibody would be very promising analytical tools for rapid and sensitive determination of metal ions in the environment.

Stern became known as the "foreclosure king" when his law firm in Plantation swelled to gigantic size during the foreclosure crisis in 2006. He was a lead attorney for home mortgage provider Freddie Mac and other big banks.
But accusations flooded the Florida Bar and local courts about false or inaccurate documents in those cases. Stern's offices closed, and he laid off thousands of employees.
Stern promoted attorneys Beverly McComas and Miriam Mendieta, and nonlawyer Cheryl Samons to manage employees in his office. While case volume sky-rocketed, he boosted their salaries to a range of $200,000 to $600,000.
Stern knew or should have known that Mendieta and McComas failed to make reasonable efforts to ensure that the office and its lawyers were complying with bar rules.
Stern failed to make reasonable efforts to ensure the professional conduct of those handing the firm's files.
Stern failed to take sufficient steps to prevent wrongdoing by the firm's employees despite the multiple allegations of misconduct, such as backdating or changing dates on documents.
Stern either knew or should have known that inaccurate and/or improperly executed documents were regularly being provided to courts and took insufficient action to investigate the activity or to stop or prevent the improprieties.


Get down to brass tacks in accomplishing many small jobs and errands waiting for completion. It's easy to lose your way by going on a unnecessary detour as Pallas squares Pluto (3:18am) and the moon in Virgo makes its monthly opposition to Mars in Pisces (8:28am) – a challenging polarity that starts a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until the arrival of Libra moon at 12:24pm. In addition, Venus in Scorpio opposes Juno in Taurus (11:53am) while moving on to form a supportive, 60-degree alliance with Pluto (1:32pm). Aim to please love ones by being a good listener and reaching out in a compassionate manner. Business interests gain stature as Mercury parallels Saturn (2:01pm). Exercise and the martial arts are highlighted during a conjunction between Mars and Chiron at 29 degrees of Pisces (9:42pm). However, acting brashly in any way is taboo.
