Israel Is Forever: Special feature to the Calling Out Community, Posted July 21, 2015. Updated November 12, 2015.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced on Tuesday, July 21 that negotiations toward an expanded and modernized Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement (CIFTA) had completed.
Harper's office said in a statement that the updated CIFTA will notably provide expanded market access opportunities for agricultural, fish and seafood products through the reduction or elimination of Israeli tariffs on a large number of products, and duty-free access under tariff rate quotas for certain products.
Four existing areas of the current CIFTA have been modernized, namely market access for goods, rules of origin, institutional provisions, and dispute settlement, according to the statement.
In addition, seven new chapters have been included in the areas of trade facilitation, sanitary and phytosanitary measures, technical barriers to trade, intellectual property, electronic commerce, labor, and environment.
This CIFTA will support Canadian businesses and investors, deepen trade and investment linkages, and further strengthen Canada's bilateral relationship with Israel, said Harper's office.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to Harper on Tuesday evening, hours after the joint announcement was made, thanking him for his continued support of Israel which Harper recently reaffirmed on Yom Ha'atzmaut, Israel's Independence Day.
Canada is one of Israel's closest friends. We deeply appreciate our extensive and deep cooperation with the Canadian government, which has flourished in recent years and of which the free trade agreement is but one example," Netanyahu said.
"This expanded and modernized agreement will further energize the trade between our countries to the benefit of both our peoples," he added.
Harper continued to stand up for the Jewish state during last summer's conflict in Gaza. The Canadian leader called on Canada's allies and partners to recognize that Hamas's terrorist acts "are unacceptable and that solidarity with Israel is the best way of stopping the conflict." He also blamed Hamas for the heavy loss of civilian life in Gaza during the fighting.
I am so thankful for our Prime Minister and his powerful leadership and support for Israel during this time. I believe firmly that, if we turn our back on Israel, God will turn His back on us. As long as we continue to support her against the Big Lies of the media against her, Canada will continue to be blessed to be a blessing to the rest of the world.

Gwyneth Paltrow Isn't Going to Let a $145,000 False Advertising Settlement Taint Goop's Brand
Catie Keck
It's been a little more than a month since it was announced that Goop, the controversial lifestyle brand of actress Gwyneth Paltrow, settled a false advertising lawsuit over scientifically unproven claims about its vaginal quartz and jade eggs—you may remember the ones. However, in a new interview with BBC addressing criticism of the brand, Paltrow challenged claims that Goop sold products that veered into the realm of "pseudoscience."
Speaking with BBC Breakfast's Charlie Stayt, Paltrow said that she "disagree[d] with that wholeheartedly" and went on to defend Goop-promoted "healing modalities," among which she listed essentials oils and acupuncture.
We really believe that there are healing modalities that have existed for thousands of years, and they challenge maybe a very conventional western doctor that might not believe necessarily in the healing powers of essential oils or any variety of acupuncture—things that have been tried and tested for hundreds of years. We find that they are very helpful to people and there's an incredible power in the human body to heal itself. And so I think any time you're trying to move the needle and you're trying to empower women, you know, you find resistance. We just think that's part of what we do, and we're proud to do it.
In September, Goop settled a lawsuit brought on by 10 counties in California over three products that the company claimed could provide medical benefits. The company said prior to the lawsuit that use of the jade and quartz eggs "increases chi, orgasms, vaginal muscle tone, hormonal balance, and feminine energy in general." Of its Inner Judge Flower Essence Blend, according to the Orange County district attorney's office, Goop said it "could help prevent depression." Per the settlement, the company agreed to pay $145,000 and adhere to a five-year injunction.
Company spokesperson Heather Wilson characterized the claims made against Goop by the California Food, Drug and Medical Device Task Force as an "honest disagreement." In an email to Gizmodo in September, Wilson added that the settlement "does not indicate any liability on goop's part," which Paltrow also stated in her interview with BBC:
We have a whole regulatory team in place now, and a science and research team, and that's really what they're dedicated to doing. A lot of times we'll find that a third-party product that we sell, people make claims about products. And so it's very important for us now as we grow and as we learn to make sure the claims we make on the site are efficacious and good.
Paltrow claimed that none of Goop's customers lodged complaints "at all." It would, however, certainly be worth hearing some first-hand customer reviews of those "bio-frequency healing" stickers it carried as recently as last year.

You can't tell the players without a scorecard, and the Sun City Ambassadors make sure everybody has one when the University of South Carolina Beaufort plays baseball or softball.
Bob Barry organized the Ambassadors, who attend every home game at the Richard Gray Sports Complex in Hardeeville.
In addition to handing out programs, the Ambassadors assist spectators with seating and special needs.
And among other duties, charter member Phil Sanford occasionally regales the crowd with a rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the seventh-inning stretch.
"He's got a pretty good voice for an old guy," Barry said at an early game this season.
Ambassador Fred Jones left Los Angeles behind, but not his loyalty to the Dodgers, when he moved to Sun City.
He sports a Dodger blue "LA" cap (complete with the trademark white button) but adds a USCB Sand Sharks pin on the crest.
Jones retired after 32 years as a Los Angeles police officer. "Now, except for volunteering, I don't hit a lick at a snake," he said.
His wife, Priscilla Jones, still works as a real estate agent with Weichert. "We decided only one of us would work and she lost the coin toss," he said with a laugh.
"I became an ambassador last year. I started showing up for every game and they said, 'We've got a job for you,'" Jones said at a recent game.
Barry said the Ambassadors idea "came out of the USCB athletic department" when Kim Abbott was the athletic director.
"Our purpose is just to make sure people enjoy coming to the ball park and know what they need to know about the facility and the players' numbers and statistics," Barry said.
Other members include Larry Kellogg, Art and Betty Laliberte, Bob Lippman and Bob Trainer.
Barry and Sanford bundled up against the cold wind when a Sand Sharks baseball doubleheader coincided with the Feb. 11 debut of the new USCB women's softball team.
Bob Pentico helped out with "historic opening day" programs for the softball game with Wesleyan College of Macon, Ga.
He is president of the Athletic Club of the Lowcountry, which he started last year along with Barry and his wife Judy, Kellogg, Vic Bubas and Merle Meeder.
The club is not affiliated with Sun City, though its 110 members include most of the Ambassadors.
The Athletic Club welcomes members from anywhere in the Lowcountry — Bluffton, Ridgeland, Hardeeville, Hilton Head and Beaufort, according to Barry. Its monthly meetings feature speakers from the sports world who have included Chris Epperson, Eddie Maple, Rick Sofield, Stan Smith, Ken Cribb, Al Stern, Ty Rietkovich and Nate Hybl.


And light up our world.
About her real, whole self.
Amidst the overwhelming blue seeping through every orifice in sight, floats a small, round clock. First enters the questions, "Where am I? What happened to me? How did I get here? What do I do now?" My mind wanders through countless theories searching for the logical reasoning behind it all. Simultaneously, everything gets blurry and the muscles in my face start to tingle. Then, a quick realization of the situation at hand…I'm drowning. Bursting out of the deep blue, I land on the small, round clock and struggle to regulate the oxygen rushing into my lungs. Now lying on the clock, I stare up at the monotonous fields of gray sky. I've escaped one death only to lose myself to another.
– comments pertaining to NEVER AGAIN: I wrote this after leaving a relationship that was not going very well. It's about a realization that my dependency for the love of another means that by leaving a relationship that was causing negative emotion for the unknown depths of loneliness is a tough situation.
I often wondered how I managed to live a life so immensely rife with strife until the day I realized whose hand it was holding the knife. With every step, I felt it piercing my spine and causing a mental decline as if the wielder made it a point to confine my mind. I tried to defy the pain by claiming my spirit will never die and not once did I ever apply the idea that it was all just a lie to try to deny the truth from my own eye. I was not strong enough to accept that it was I all along who had been in the wrong. There's a certain picture I've been painting over time, hoping to wipe off all the sludge and grime so that I may finally let go of a grudge and reach a moment so sublime. But now it seems I must eternally climb the highest mountains and trudge through slime as Misery's drudge to pay for my crime.
– comments pertaining to MISERY'S DRUDGE: I wrote this recently, when realizing that I was over-reacting about something because I constantly over-analyze everything. It's about how I am the only one who consistently and effectively makes my own life harder to emotionally handle.
Will there ever be another day of happiness in my life?
Will there be a day when I will always have friends who care?
Will ever again the words be spoken to me, "I love you"?
Will that pain of despair ever end?
Hear a reading of the poem by the poet here.
They sit there, and they smile graciously. They sit there and they whisper quietly. They sit there and they move their chair when you come near.
They sit there, and stare, and wonder. They sit there and look away when you look back. They sit there and ignore you when you ask them the time. They shun me, but no longer. Now the jury is coming to tear me apart. I am the monster in the castle, and they are knocking down the door. People fear what they can't understand? NO! People fear the truth, especially when it shows how meaningless their material based world is. They fear it when you tell them that they are just like me. Just like me. We all are nothing. People fear being nothing. So people fear me, because I tell them the truth. People fear the truth. Fortunately, what people fear, people destroy. So I have been, am now to continue being destroyed by the people. However, this constant destruction only fuels me, because I unfortunately cannot be destroyed. I will only live on to she grin of all.


Most everyone loses or misplaces their key at some point. Keeping one or more backup keys in a safe place is a good way to avoid needing a locksmith.
It is not uncommon to provide copies of keys to friends and family. During a renovation project keys may have been given to a contractor who in turn may have made copies for others. The contractor may have returned the key to you at the end of a renovation but neglected to deliver extra sets they made for those working on the project.
Keys in the hands of undocumented individuals who should not have unrestricted access to a condo building is a security problem. Magnify this by 200 or more suites in a building and the security risk is significant.
Keys are no longer a form of security when anyone can duplicate or steal them. Keys can be duplicated at nominal cost in many locations or by utilizing an app that will scan your keys and send copies to you in a few days.
Managing keys and fobs is a central part of condo security.
Piero Romani, of Securitas Canada, advises that "Card access systems and fobs can also be duplicated. Fortunately, they can provide a trail of their usage and can be deactivated at the first sign of misuse or abuse." These systems can be expensive to implement which is why they are often limited to main entrances.

Biografia
Laureato in legge, aderì al partito di Hitler già dal 1930 e nel 1931 entrò a far parte delle SS. Ricoprì la prima carica politica importante, ossia quella di capo della polizia del Land dell'Assia, subito dopo le elezioni del 1933. Nel 1935 fu chiamato a Berlino, dove rimase fino al 1940 come capoufficio nell'Ufficio Centrale dei Servizi di Sicurezza (RSHA). Durante l'ultimo anno di tale mandato, Best divenne comandante della II Sezione della RSHA.

Fra il 1940 e il 1942, ricoprì la carica di Ministerialdirektor nella Francia occupata, era cioè capo di dipartimento del ministero degli affari militari nei territori annessi al Reich. Si occupò in particolare di combattere i vari movimenti clandestini di Resistenza e di portare avanti la soluzione finale degli ebrei. Dal 1942 al 1945 fu nominato Reichsbevollmächtigter, ossia plenipotenziario del Reich, in Danimarca. Si occupava in questo caso di amministrare gli affari civili sul territorio occupato. Anche in questo paese tentò, senza alcun successo, di adempiere il compito assegnatogli relativo all'eliminazione degli ebrei danesi.

Nel 1948 fu condannato a morte dal tribunale danese, ma la pena venne subito dopo commutata in 12 anni di prigione. Nel 1951, di fatto, venne rilasciato e poté rientrare in Germania, dove lavorò come consulente per le industrie Stinnes (gruppo di industrie che si occupa del commercio all'ingrosso del carbone).

Per aver fatto parte delle SS fu multato dalle autorità tedesche nel 1958 e nel 1969 fu arrestato per aver preso parte allo sterminio amministrativo di massa degli ebrei polacchi durante la Seconda guerra mondiale. Rilasciato per motivi di salute nel 1972, morì a Mülheim an der Ruhr nel 1989.

Little Mix speak out against 'double standards' for career women
by Sorcha McManigan
As women, we would love to believe that we live in an equal world with our male counterparts.
However, we know the reality of that is far from our hopes and we often encounter inequalities in all areas of our day to day activities.
Little Mix are all too familiar with this as women in the music industry and they're determined to stand up against it – Yass, gals.
A post shared by Little Mix (@littlemix) on Nov 15, 2018 at 4:00pm PST
In a recent interview, the band, who are comprised of Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jesy Nelson, claimed that when women want to take control of their careers, they are given different treatment to men.
"It's double standards when you're young women. When we started out it was almost like, 'This is your lane, stay in your lane. You're the faces and the name'. We're not. We're the brand," Perrie told The Sun.
"We're businesswomen. It's our baby. So everything we do creatively comes from us. It is frustrating that if a group of guys were to say, 'We're not going to do that song, we're going to release this song', it's like, 'Maybe we should listen'.
"Whereas when we do it, it's like, 'Oh they're at it again, they're whining…But we're not. We're perfectionists. We take everything we do so seriously. It's important to us," she added.
A post shared by Little Mix (@littlemix) on Nov 14, 2018 at 12:00pm PST
The group clearly know their market as they've dominated the charts with their smash hits since their X-factor fame in 2011.
Little Mix have just released their fifth studio album, LM5, but the new music is no longer under the management of Simon Cowell.
Earlier this month, Simon announced the band's split from his record label.
The music mogul insisted that the end of their working relationship came with no bad blood, saying: "They are the hardest working bunch of girls I've ever worked with. They deserve everything they've got".
A post shared by Little Mix (@littlemix) on Nov 8, 2018 at 4:00pm PST
Little Mix commented on their new music saying it was the album they've "always wanted to make."
We can't wait to play them on repeat, and fair play to the women, may they continue their battle with of getting the recognition and treatment they deserve – regardless of their gender.
Every voice in the fight for equality is vital and we still have a long way to go before we are treated on the same par with men professionally.
Jade Thirlwall breaks down in tears during Little Mix performance
Little Mix fans are rushing to support Jade Thirlwall after the 25-year-old singer broke down during a Little Mix performance.
The girlband played a gig with Apple Music last night to celebrate the incoming release of their fifth album LM5 on 16 November.
Jade's bandmates Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson and Leigh-Anne Pinnock rallied around Thirlwall as she became emotional during her solo in 'Only You'
A post shared by Welcome 🙂 (@legendpinnock) on Nov 13, 2018 at 12:41pm PST
PROTECT HER AT ALL COSTS.
While performing her part of the song, Jade was overcome with emotion and needed the help of the audience to continue:
"Once upon a time we had it all; Somewhere down the line we went and lost it; One brick at a time we watched it fall; I'm broken here tonight and darling, no one else can fix me; Only you, only you"
Thirlwall later joked that she was in need of hot water and lemon, as well as some "tissues for her issues". The crowd managed to nail all of the the track's ad libs, they are truly some of the most supportive fans in the world.

They're just like us, these gals. There has been much fan speculation regarding the reason for Jade's tears, with one group insinuating that it may involve her boyfriend, Jed Elliot, who is currently on a US tour with his own band.
The pair have often spoken about the strain of long distance relationships, and Jade as been unable to see her boyfriend due to the Little Mix promotional tour for their fifth studio album.
Elliot, who has dated Thirlwall since 2015, recently performed at the Victoria's Secret fashion show and joked about bringing his manager as a date, seeing as his girlfriend could not attend:
A post shared by Jed Elliott (@jedstruts) on Nov 9, 2018 at 12:16pm PST
Speaking about the couple's work commitments to The Mirror, the singer stated that:
"We've been together two years but it feels like we've only just started going out because we never see each other", she admitted.
"It's been a bit sh*t not seeing each other I must admit. We hardly ever see each other as he's signed in the US and I'm always on tour, but we fly to see each other as much as possible."
Jade's schedule must be jam-packed, seeing as the girlband have gone from strength to strength in the last few years. They have recently stated in an interview with Apple Music that their next collaboration goal is none other than Ari Grande, who replied with a classic "i love u ladies":
We adore you the girls x https://t.co/XTueT4ZkwA
— Little Mix (@LittleMix) November 13, 2018
Girl power really just warms our cold hearts.
Whatever caused Jade's tears, she has an army of fans behind her and three BFF's for support in the form of her band-mates.
YOU GOT DIS, GIRL.

MediaNews Bankruptcy Filing to Come as Soon as This Week
Mike Spector And
Shira Ovide
Updated Jan. 18, 2010 6:56 pm ET
The holding company of MediaNews Group Inc., the publisher of dozens of newspapers including the Denver Post and the San Jose Mercury News, plans to file for bankruptcy protection as soon as this week, according to people familiar with the matter.
The filing, expected to be made in Delaware, could come as soon as Friday, one of the people said, but cautioned that the filing could be pushed back to next week. MediaNews said on Friday that its filing would occur in the "near future."


You know how I know it's May 1st? There were flowers on our front porch this morning, that's how! This beautiful tradition has been enjoyed by us since 2006! That's 12 years! This means for twelve years now our Aunt Lynn aka Moon Mama and our cousin Stacy aka Miss Moonspinner have been sneaking up to our doorstep in the middle of the night to surprise us every May first with the most gorgeous little bundles of spring flowers. That HELLO! grow in their own gardens! I'll be darned if almost every year I forget that it's the 1st of May until we open our front door to the beautiful bouquets they have thoughtfully put together. Each and every year they have been different too, in sweet little handmade or repurposed containers. I blogged about the span of 2006 to 2013 HERE I sadly couldn't find on my old old computer picture files the first 4 years of this awesomeness but it's so amazing to see the flowers each year next to our growing girl! The flower pictures are from May 1st the Abbie pictures are a portrait from sometime in that same year to get an idea of how times grows flowers and children.
Take a look! I'll start with today:) Take a look below.
How do I begin to express my gratitude for the thoughtfulness of these two women in my life? It's kind of hard to put into words exactly. I make sure to call them each May 1st to express my gratitude and tell them the stories of how motorcycle man tries so very hard to catch them in the act. They seem to elude him every single year, it's kind of a crack up. We are not the only ones these May flower fairies deliver to. They make some serious rounds to different cities. This year our bouquets came with a note. The note made me chuckle because these fairies are a bit feisty to boot. The note explained how this is their last delivery and if we should have any questions or comments that would be unfortunate, that part made me giggle. I'm a little saddened by the news however I have fully appreciated and enjoyed the last 12 years and it was a lovely tradition. Thank you Lynn and Stace! Perhaps we can pick up the tradition, we have talked about it an awful lot. We will see what happens next May. In fact maybe you can consider being a May fairy in your town! I set an alert on my phone for next year to remind me to prepare for such a feat.


The North American T-6 Texan (more commonly called a Harvard outside of the United States) was a single-engine advanced trainer aircraft used to train pilots of the United States, United Kingdom and British Commonwealth militaries during World War II and well into the 1950s. So ubiquitous, the Texan was nicknamed "The Pilot Maker" because of all the aviators that trained on it during World War Two and beyond. Many T-6 Texans are still flying today and it is still considered the best trainer to prepare pilots to take the controls of the North American P-51-Mustang or other high performance warbirds.

"Lonely" is a song recorded by the German artist Nana. It was released in April 1997 as the second single from his debut album Nana. The song reached number-one in Germany and Switzerland. It also reached the top 5 in Austria, Denmark, and Norway.
Nana (1926) is Jean Renoir's second full-length silent film and is based on the novel by Émile Zola.
The film stars Renoir's wife, Catherine Hessling, in an eccentric performance as the flawed heroine Nana.
Jean Renoir's film is a fairly faithful adaptation of Émile Zola's classic novel. The film's extravagances include two magnificent set pieces – a horse race and an open air ball. The film never made a profit, and the commercial failure of the film robbed Renoir of the opportunity to make such an ambitious film again for several years.
The elm cultivar Ulmus 'Nana' is a very slow growing shrub that with time forms a small tree. It was believed for many years to be a form of Ulmus glabra and is known widely as the 'Dwarf Wych Elm'. However, the ancestry of 'Nana' has been disputed in more recent years, Melville considering the specimen once grown at Kew to have been a cultivar of Ulmus × hollandica.
The tree rarely exceeds 5 m in height, but is often broader. The dark green leaves are smaller than the type, < 11 cm long by 8 cm broad. Green describes it as a very distinct variety not growing above 60 cm in 10 to 12 years. A specimen at Kew was described by Henry as 'a slow-growing hemispherical bush that has not increased appreciably in size for many years'.
The low height of the tree should ensure that it avoids colonisation by Scolytus bark beetles and thus remain free of Dutch elm disease.
The tree is still occasionally found in arboreta and gardens in the UK, and has been introduced to North America and continental Europe; it is not known in Australasia.
Time is the third album released by Australian singer-songwriter Peter Andre.


Raylands Park is surrounded by so much beautiful countryside and many of our owners come here simply for the peace and tranquillity. Others enjoy their days walking along local footpaths or cycling the highly regarded Downs Link bridleway.
The village of Southwater accessible by foot (approx a 30 minute walk) or by car (5 min drive) has all the amenities you should require from a local village including three Public Houses, a Doctors and Dentist surgery, two convenience stores, eat in and takeaway restaurants a Post Office and a Public Library amongst others. It also has a large Country Park harbouring a lakeside cafe.
Just 3 miles away is the historic market town of Horsham. This town has the perfect blend of old and new, with historic streets wrapped around a modern shopping centre – Swan Walk in the heart of the town. Horsham shopping has a really good mix of retailers large and small and is a pleasant place to shop. In recent years East Street has seen an abundance of new restaurants emerge, so eating out will not be a problem but choosing where to dine might be. Just a few yards away from the shops, The Causeway is one of the finest streets in Sussex, with a lovely mixture of old buildings, mature trees and the towering Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin. Horsham Park and the Pavilions In The Park swimming centre are also within a short walking distance.
Also within close reach is the Sussex Coast with the city of Brighton easily accessible by car or public transport. This coastal attraction will leave you spoilt for choice with Brighton Pier, the Royal Pavilion and Brighton Wheel just a few to mention, not forgetting the beach too of course. The colourful North Laine can also be found nearby. Here you will find a collection of over 400 independent businesses and spend many happy hours shopping and exploring the narrow streets.

Patient Stories Press releases
Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia
Linda Manassee Buell was a prisoner of Pomerado Road.
Panic attacks, fear of open spaces and fear of driving kept her captive, at least in her mind. The thought of venturing beyond an eight-mile stretch of Pomerado Road in Poway terrified her.
Buell, 46, managed to overcome her fears—with help from a tech-savvy psychologist and an innovative treatment that uses the same kind of virtual reality technology found in video arcades.
To help Buell conquer her phobias, San Diego psychologist Brenda Wiederhold strapped goggles on her patient then immersed her in a digital world full of the very things that scared her most.
Buell had never heard of virtual reality treatment until she called Brenda Wiederhold's office. Even hearing Wiederhold describe over the telephone one of the treatments—driving a car in the virtual world and getting stuck in traffic jam in tunnel—made Buell nervous. She knew how terrifying something like that in real life could be.
On the first visit, Wiederhold plunked Buell down in the middle of a virtual plaza surrounded by old European buildings.
The first thing Buell did was look for a way out.
And that was exactly what Wiederhold would have predicted.
When Buell did find her way out, it led to an open grassy field that was just as nerve-wracking. She quickly returned to the plaza because, she explained, "there were people there, and I figured I could ask them for help."
Buell worked her way up to virtual driving in later therapy sessions.
She donned the virtual reality goggles, sat behind an actual steering wheel and pressed her foot on an actual accelerator until she came to a small tunnel.
"My first reaction was to look for the exit to the tunnel," Buell said. "I wanted to see the hole at the other end."
She made it through.
The more Buell exposed herself to her fears in these virtual worlds, the more confident, and less anxious she became—until she got to the point where she could venture, little by little, into the real world.
Her sessions ended, but Buell sees her recovery as ongoing.
She credits Wiederhold's treatment as much as the virtual reality with helping her. "It's a tool," Buell said. "Brenda doesn't focus on the technology. She uses the technology as a part of the whole."
