WASHINGTON – The Justice Department today filed a Statement of Interest in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York supporting a church's claim that the Village of Canton, New York, violated its rights under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 (RLUIPA) by barring it from locating its church in the Village's commercial zoning district.
The case, Christian Fellowship Centers of New York, Inc. v. Village of Canton, involves a congregation that purchased property in the Village's commercial zoning district to use for worship. After the Village denied zoning approval, the church filed a lawsuit alleging that the Village violated RLUIPA because the Village permits other assemblies in the commercial district, including theaters, fraternal organizations and social clubs. The church also stated in court filings that it is seeking to hold worship services this Sunday, March 31, at the property it purchased in the commercial zoning district. The church has no other location options to hold its religious services on that date.
The United States' Statement of Interest supports the Christian Fellowship Centers of New York Inc.'s argument that RLUIPA's "equal terms" provision treated the church less favorably than the various other groups permitted in the district.
Individuals who believe they have been subjected to discrimination in land use or zoning decisions may contact the Civil Rights Division Housing and Civil Enforcement Section at (800) 896-7743, or on the complaint portal on the Place to Worship Initiative website.

Statutory consultation on proposed admission arrangements for community and voluntary controlled primary schools for 2021/2022
From 8 November 2019 to 20 December 2019
When changes are proposed to admission arrangements, all admission authorities must consult on their admission arrangements that will apply to admission applications for the following school year.
At least every 7 years, admission authorities must consult on their admission arrangements; even if there have been no changes during that period.
We would like your views on a number of proposed changes to the admission arrangements for community and voluntary controlled primary schools for 2021/2022.
Admission authorities must consult on proposed changes to its admission arrangements for a minimum of six weeks between 1 October (at the earliest) and 31 January (at the latest) in the determination year.
The consultation period for 2021/2022 admission arrangements for community and voluntary controlled primary schools will run from Friday 8th November 2019 to Friday 20th December 2019.
We are proposing the inclusion of the groups of children named below within the oversubscription criteria as they have exceptional social circumstances, are often disadvantaged and may have encountered adverse childhood experiences. The groups of children are: Children who were previously in state care before coming to England
The local authority are also proposing to change the way in which we deal with applications received from parents with shared parental responsibility: The address used on the common application form must be the current one at the time of application, i.e. the child's main residence. If the address changes subsequently, the parents/carers should notify the admissions authority of this change. Where the parents live at different addresses, and there is shared parenting, the address used will normally be the one where the child wakes up for the majority of Monday to Friday mornings. If there is any doubt about this, then the address of the Child benefit recipient will be used. Where more than one person with parental responsibility for the child submits an application for the same child, then neither application will be considered and the parents/carers will be asked to agree a single application. The local authority will require the parents to resolve matters between themselves, taking legal advice if necessary and inform the local authority which application should be processed. Please note:if agreement is not reached or a legal decision is not made before the closing date, this may affect the chances of your child being allocated a place at the preferred school(s).
The local authority are also proposing to consider unaccompanied asylum seeking children and Children of 'Zambrano Carers' under the social, medical and welfare criterion. A 'Zambrano' carer is a person from a non-EEA state whose residence is required in order to enable a child or dependant adult, who is British, to live in the UK (or the rest of the EEA). This will not however guarantee admission to a preferred school.
Summary of the changes to the oversubscription categories are as follows (proposed changes are written in bold)
'Looked after' children (see below); children who were previously 'looked after' but immediately after being looked after were adopted or became subject to a child arrangements order, or special guardianship order, and children who were previously in state care before coming to England. (Looked after' means that the child was
(a) in the care of a local authority, or
(b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions).
Children with an older sibling (sibling means a brother or sister, half brother or sister, adopted brother or sister, step brother or sister or the child of the parent/carer's partner) who will still be attending the preferred school when the younger child is admitted. NB
(a) cousins are not included in the definition of sibling
(b) in every case, the children should be living in the same family unit at the same address.
Children with proven exceptional medical, social or welfare needs which are directly relevant to the school concerned. If you wish to be considered under this category you must provide appropriate supporting evidence with your application from a doctor, social worker or other professional. This evidence must explain why the preferred school is the most suitable and what difficulties would be caused if the child had to attend another school.
Geographical proximity - under this category, the remaining places will be offered to children who live nearest to the preferred school. The distance will be measured in a straight line between the home front door and the main gate of the school using a computerised programme.
Tie-breaker: Within each of the oversubscription categories, if there are more applicants than remaining places available, geographical proximity (as set out in category d) will be used to allocate places.
Consultees
We are seeking views from:
Parents in our borough who have children between the ages of two and eighteen
Other persons in our borough who the local authority believes will have an interest in the proposed admissions;
All other admission authorities within the borough;
Governing bodies in the borough (who are not admission authorities);
Our adjoining/neighbouring local authorities where the admission authority
The bodies representing the religions/religious denomination of the faith schools in our borough

James Whitbourn: Luminosity
Commotio / Matthew Berry
James Whitbourn: Luminosity Review
by Stephen Eddins
The music of James Whitbourn falls comfortably within the tradition of British choral music as it developed in the early and mid-20th century, and most of the pieces recorded have a tone of quiet reverence. Whitbourn prefers homophony to counterpoint, so his texts are easily understood. His works feature traditional organ accompaniments, to which, in several works, he adds an obbligato instrument or percussion. While the works are well-crafted, most have the sound of music that has been heard before, particularly in the conventionality of the harmony and predictability of the cadences. Each is attractive on its own, but taken together, they leave the impression that Whitbourn doesn't have a particularly wide range. One of the most attractive pieces is the quirky Alleluia jubilate, for women's voices, which has a nice rhythmic springiness tied to an archaic modal quality. The most ambitious work, the seven-movement Luminosity, written to accompany a dance, offers a fresh sound with its use of percussion, viola, and the conventions of classical Indian music, but the choral writing is often embarrassingly derivative, sometimes of Morten Lauridsen, sometimes of mystical minimalists like Arvo Pärt. One of its movements, though, "Ask the Beauty," with a text by Augustine of Hippo, stands out for its ecstatic radiance and showcases the composer at his best. British choral ensemble Commotio, led by Matthew Berry, turns in expert and committed performances, singing with warmth and a good blend. The album should appeal to fans of conservative British choral music.

Broncos ticket prices up as much as 52 percent in four seasons
The Denver Broncos have just announced the ticket prices for the 2014-2015 season -- and while it's no surprise they've gone up, the amount some of them have risen is considerable. If our math is correct (and granted, that's a big if), the price for a prime field seat will now be more than 50 percent higher than it was in 2010-2011. Other bump ups range from modest for upper-level seats to substantial at the club level.
Here's the breakdown in several different categories.
Note: Figures courtesy of Mile High Report and 7News, which notes that 2,000 half-priced tickets will go on sale for each game at 1 p.m. on June 30; that's a Metropolitan Football Stadium District requirement. As such, we've included full and half-price amounts for each year from 2010 to 2014, along with dollar and percentage increases.
Field seat, prime:
2010-2011: $125 full price, $62.50 half price.

I've been to the Fair and people make all sorts of things … pies, cakes, canned goods, quilts, woodwork, monster trucks. Wait. Monster trucks? Yes, someone creates a machine that can do above and beyond the ordinary, and they create a moment when they race.
Once completed, why does beauty thrill us or make us tear up? Why do we get goosebumps when we hear certain music, for example? In the same way, why are we moved to tears sometimes when we witness someone helping in an altruistic, sacrificial way?
I think that what we are witnessing and experiencing are pieces of the same thing.
Acts of love are also different kinds of artistry.
This sounds so good, right? And there's truth to it. However, we can even manage to mess this up. This, "creating beauty" thing. For example, we can get addicted to what we see as helping people. We can go back and back again and again for the "high," so to speak. For the experience of the positive feeling that comes with giving. We can make rules about it. We can judge others for not doing it, or for doing it worse than us in our opinion. We can formulate it to mean only this and not that. We can resist receiving, and be always the one that is giving. As usual with humans, we can take things too far. We actually get kind of creative about that: taking things too far.
Defining creativity is important. If it means stretching out to include others, but disparaging your close-by neighbors, teachers, or co-workers, then it's not creative.
To state the obvious, destruction of any kind is not creation.
Destroying destruction can be a creative act. I saw the above quote on Pinterest, along with the following comment: "HOW?" How do we transform criticism into creativity? What a good question. It sounds good, but what does it mean? Here's one way how. Look around you at what is in your immediate life. What is there for you to do? What excites you? Make something. Make anything. Draw a picture. Sing a song. Smile at someone. Do this instead of tearing someone down. Do this instead of railing about the mistakes of others, or citing a list of what they do wrong.
Receive love and give it away.
As it flows into you, then let it flow out.
When we feel love, and know we are loved, that's a creative, building thing.
When we receive love, and when we give someone good, when we listen and are listened to, when we have fun, those are creative, building things also.
In an essay, C.S. Lewis quotes Goethe who says interestingly, that all his previous "love" affairs were, "for my own ennoblement." Lewis makes the case that those therefore might not have been "love" affairs. Can they have been, if they were for the so-called lover's own benefit? Without it really being in sight, the benefit of the other person?
This is why when we see before us sudden, unexpected, great or seemingly-small acts of helping, giving or kindness … we are moved to tears. Because the giver has no apparent regard for herself.
I think this is creativity. A Love. An Art. And I think it's related to the way we can be moved to tears by a beautiful piece of music. I would suggest that they are a part and parcel of the same, beautiful, perfect … loving.
Check out this creative video and music clip, featuring Hilary Hahn playing "Bounce Bounce" on the violin, playing with Hauschka, another musician.
Then, check out this video clip below of Olympian Derek Redmond after injury, continuing on to the finish line with his father's arm around him.
Beautiful, both of them, no?


When things break it's often easier and cheaper to throw them away rather than get them repaired. But this means that things are being needlessly thrown away that could be given a new lease of life if we had the skills and the opportunity to repair them.
There was a time when make do and mend culture was thriving, but our consumer-focused lifestyles have made us lazy or less imaginative when it comes to fixing broken things, or there are financial and practical obstacles in the way. But there's a new trend re-igniting our imaginations when it comes to fixing, and communities are coming together in the process to share repair skills and enable us to give new life to old objects.
Initiatives like the 'Restart Project' hold events that connect geeky technicians with broken electronics with happy results for their owners. At the same time this helps to build a sense of community around fixing. 'Repair Cafe' is a worldwide network supporting people to hold events to teach people to fix all kinds of things from clothes, to toys, to electronics and much more.
Edventure:Frome is an organisation joining the dots between education, community and enterprise to set up projects that tackle a local need and support young adults to have a go at turning ideas into reality. The Edventure Start-Up supports 10 people aged 18-35 to set up a community enterprise over 10 weeks. So far, past student teams have set up SHARE: a library of things, The Welsh Mill Hub, the community fridge, the Roundhouse Garden by the river, and Edspace: providing affordable living solutions, amongst others.
This coming March, working with SHARE, Edventure students will be given the challenge to set up a community start-up that encourages people to fix their things – from clothes to electronics to bikes and board games.
There are various ways to get involved: If you're aged 18-35 and want to take part in the course, get more information here; if you're a fixer and would like to get involved email us at [email protected] and if you're curious about the project and want to be part of it in other ways, get in touch or attend our upcoming event Edventure:SOUP at 7pm on 18th January at The Welshmill Hub, Frome, BA11 2LE.

Monterey is a neighborhood near the Bella Mar community center with smaller homes similar to those found in Parkside built by Mercedes Homes and David Weekley between 2007 and 2009. Because these homes are smaller on smaller lots, they are the most affordable homes that are walkable to both the Bella Mar Community Center and River Ridge Elementary School. Lots are around 50 feet wide and range in size from .13 acres to .22 acres. Homes range in size from 1875 square feet to almost 3000 square feet. Many of these homes have excellent views of the greenbelt/canyon. The legal description of Monterey is River Dance, not Steiner Ranch (although it is in Steiner Ranch) so it frequently gets left out of searches so be sure to bookmark this page if you're looking for a home in Monterey!

Each transaction is linked to a transaction ID (Txid or hash). You can search on the blockchain explorer using this Txid. You will then get the information related to your transaction.


You wake up thirty minutes before your alarm, jerking up after having a nightmare about a car crash. Reluctantly, you clean up, eat breakfast, and hop into your car. Work is only three mile away—easy biking distance—and there are 15 or so people in your neighborhood who work where you work—enough for a commuter bus make sense. But alas, the city required the developer to provide two parking spaces for your townhouse and the cost is hidden somewhere in your mortgage, so why not use it?
After spending thirty minutes traveling three miles on the freeway—at least we live in the Golden Age of Podcasting, right?—you arrive at your suburban office park and pull into the garage. The parking is "free," meaning that your pay has already been docked to cover the cost of the space, so why not use it?
Your girlfriend calls shortly after lunch, asking if you want to go on a double dinner date with her friends to a new BBQ place downtown. You agree to join. You're starving—you left lunch at home and it's just too time consuming to drive to a decent place—so you hustle downtown. You arrive first, only to find out that there is only on-street parking. Downtown is, after all, exempt from parking requirements, and since street parking is "free," it's impossible to find a space during dinner time.
Minimum parking requirements ultimately hold back even otherwise walkable neighborhoods. As has been extensively documented in the academic literature, minimum parking requirements drive up the cost of housing, drive down the density of cities, and generally lead to a lot of wasted land and capital. To put it bluntly, they make urban life next to impossible wherever they are binding, or above whatever the market would naturally provide.
Some planners and policymakers seem, aware of this issue, have carved out areas of town where there are no minimum parking requirements. Take the case of Houston: while the city generally has very relaxed land-use regulation, it maintains conventional, restrictive minimum parking requirements in vast swaths of the city. But to make urbanism viable in at least some part of the city, policymakers have removed all parking requirements from the city's downtown. There should be way less parking than outside of downtown, right?
Unfortunately, that's not the case. Like nearly all U.S. downtowns, Houston has acres and acres of surface parking and parking garages in its downtown. Then surely, since minimum parking requirements aren't present, all this parking must be a reflection of market demand, right? Not exactly.
Consider the wholly conventional story I told at the beginning of this post. In Houston, parking is required at nearly every house, townhouse, apartment, office building, and factory. Had our hero convinced his girlfriend and her friends to go to a BBQ joint outside of downtown, there would have been "free" parking there too. At every stage of the average Houstonian's day, they are provided with what looks like free parking. Of course, the "free" parking at home is bundled into a mortgage or rent. The "free" parking at work is skimmed off of your salary. The "free" parking at restaurants is bundled into the price of your meal.
This uniquely American arrangement has unfortunate results: Since you are paying for parking—one of the most substantial costs associated with urban car-ownership— almost no matter what, you may as well use it. With parking costs off of the table, you only have to consider the cost of owning and operating a car, which is fairly competitive with transit fares, especially given the added speed and comfort of a private car.
In this way, minimum parking requirements help to make car dependence the norm, regardless of special regulatory carve outs for certain areas of town. Are you really going to go through the trouble of figuring out and riding transit on the odd day that you visit downtown? Unless your city's transit is amazing—and if you're in the U.S., it probably isn't—that's pretty unlikely. You are going to drive there, and if the business doesn't have parking, you will either pass it over or complain about it. Hence the acres of surface parking and blocks of parking garages in otherwise liberalized downtowns.
This is why we can say non-required downtown parking isn't exactly the result of "the market." If I am a restaurateur and I want overwhelming car-dependent Houstonians to visit, if I am a business owner and I want to attract talent from all over town, or if I am a developer and I want my residential tower to appeal to most prospective residents, the fact remains the same: I basically have to provide parking. Non-market forces—minimum parking requirements everywhere else in the town—have inflated the demand for parking, building up the expectation in the minds of residents of unlimited, unpriced, immediately available parking wherever they go.
Cities, as they exist today, are shaped by an entangled mess of decades of conflicting federal, state, and local policies. As urbanists start untangling and scrapping these distortionary policies and liberalizing our cities, they should avoid giving up halfway and conceding to baloney about the status quo reflecting "revealed preferences." Surely, there is some degree of demand for downtown parking. But until we eliminate minimum parking requirements in the vast majority of the city, there is really no way of knowing. Anyone who wants to allow great urban neighborhoods and great downtowns to emerge and survive should press for on the citywide elimination of minimum parking requirements.
Note: I don't mean to pick on Houston. In fact, I really like Houston, which is why I talk about it. Plus, they have great urbanists there who are working hard on these issues and might actually ease up on citywide parking requirements!
At first glance, the headline suggests a different story, about suburban zoning requiring and providing plentiful "free" parking to the detriment of downtowns which might have no parking minimums or an otherwise restricted supply of parking.


"The product appears to be rather watery in texture so its not easy to work with it. Also the amount is rather small, the bottle should be a bit larger.

We are proud to introduce the first comprehensive long-lasting cellulite cream! Bianca Rosa Cellulite Cream combines clinically proven effective ingredients such as Wild Yam, Cola Species, plant proteins, and Collagen. Their integrated action is enhanced by a rich Aloe Vera penetrating agent.
But the story continues! Bianca Rosa Cellulite Cream also contains Aosa seaweed extract - its strong permeability improves blood circulation, increases metabolism, and reduces localized fats. Aosa seaweed extract inhibits elastase activity, protecting skin protein fibers, collagen and elastase.
Bianca Rosa Cellulite Cream is 100% natural, non-toxic,non-irritating, risk-free, convenient and safe to use. But the best part is that our Cellulite Cream produces long-lasting results!
Any woman with any body-type can have cellulite on thighs, buttocks and hips.
Cellulite is not necessary. If left untreated, it will get worse with age. Bianca Rosa Cellulite Cream is an excellent cellulite-inhibiting treatment.
Dieting and/or exercise alone cannot eliminate cellulite.
You will notice increased firmness in cellulite problem-areas after only four-twelve weeks of daily application of Bianca Rosa Cellulite Cream.
Collagen causes the production of enzymatic reactions, breaking down and metabolizing fats.
Collagen binds the cells of connective tissue together. Collagen is necessary for the production of new cells and tissue. Collagen plays a role in the growth and repair of body tissue cells, blood vessels, bones and teeth.
The skin is the body's largest organ, consisting of two layers: The uppermost layer, "epidermis", and the layer right beneath the epidermis, namely, "dermis". The epidermis controls cell and tissue water-loss, protecting the body from dehydrating. The dermis is comprised mostly of collagen. The collagen's network of protein fibers promotes the growth of blood vessels and cells, supporting the skin.
Initially, the collagen's network of protein fibers is intact and the skin is moisturized and elastic. As we age, the collagen's support of the skin deteriorates and the skin loses its tone and elasticity.
Bianca Rosa Cellulite Cream penetrates both the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin, addressing the primary cause of cellulite -the deteriorated dermis support layer of collagen.
This ingredient contributes to the production of enzymatic reactions which break down or metabolize fats.
Iodine Salt stimulates thyroid function which, in turn, increases metabolism and burns fat. Iodine Salt has been used in various cosmetics for its soothing, softening, and toning effects.
Aosaine is an hydrolysate of seaweed proteins of the alga AOSA (Ulva Lactuca), composed of support polypeptides. The green seaweed AOSA lives in the rough waters of the Brehat Archipelago. Though very fragile in appearance, its thin sails withstand wave impetuosity thanks to the Aosaine network of elastic fibers, similiar to human elastin fibers. The AOSA frond is made up of only 2 layers of cells in which there is a plastid which forms the photoenergetic center of the seaweed.The elastic resistance of its cellular walls to hydrostatic pressure enables AOSA to withstand the weight of the water striking the rocks, sometimes with a pressure of over 25 t/m2. Aosaine preserves the integrity of the tissues from compression and tension and gives cohesion and strength to the cellular architecture even in an hypotonicextra cellular environment. Aosa is classified as one of the mostproductive seaweeds in terms of biomass thanks to its high performance energetic system.
AOSA seaweed extract has a strong permiability which absorbs into the skin quickly, improving blood circulation, increasing metabolism, and discharging subcutaneous fat.
AOSA seaweed extract inhibits elastase activity, which protects protein fibers, collagen and elastase.
AOSA seaweed extract promotes cellular regeneration. A good cellular metabolism produces sufficient energy to activate the division of cells; the regenerating function preserves the epidermis from aging. With age or stress, exchanges between cells diminish and their metabolism is reduced, causing the sking to loose its vitality.
In addition, like many of the other ingredients in Bianca Rosa Cellulite Cream, AOSA seaweed extract contributes to the production of enzymatic reactions which break down or metabolize fats.
In stimulating the nervous system, caffeine blocks adenosine receptors. Caffeine has a similar structure to adenosine, but with greater electrophilic and nucleophilic functional groups than adenosine. This means that caffeine will fit adenosine receptors as well as adenosine itself will. This allows cyclic AMP to remain active rather than being broken down.
Caffeine also inhibits phosphodiesterase. The phosphodiesterase class of enzymes includes various enzymes which are responsible for breaking down cyclic AMP, which deprives the body of energy. Caffeine tricks phosphodiesterase into attacking AMP instead, which in turn inhibits the breakdown of cyclic AMP.
Topical administration of caffeine is preferable to oral administration in the treatment of cellulite, since its effects will be primarily local.
The use of Aloe Vera Moisturizer as the deep-skin penetration vehicle allows all of the other great ingredients of Bianca Rosa Cellulite Cream to maximize thier effectivness.
Aloe vera also contributes to the production of enzymatic reactions which break down or metabolize fats.
Guarana's role in our Cellulite Cream is to reduce waterformation under the skin.
The world was shocked 40 years ago when an American scientist discovered a compound in the Mexican wild yam that was virtually identical to human compound used in several important steroid hormones.
In order to produce steroid hormones, the body develops a precursor mother hormone called dehydroepiandrosterone("DHEA"). DHEA is very abundant in the body at an early age, and deteriorates as we get older. Research has shown that declining DHEA levels are linked many chronic diseases that comes with age, such as arthritis, cancer, heart disease, hair loss, skin wrinkling, loss of strength and decline in energy. These problems are most prevalent in women at menopause. Wild Yam thus gives us access to a natural source of DHEA.
Cellulite, that dreaded lumpiness, has been around for a long time. French physicians were addressing it over 150 years ago. Cellulite appears as a skin condition, but in fact it stems from subcutaneous tissue, the tissue between the skin and the muscle or bone. Cellulite has been described as having the appearance of a dimpled "orange peel" or a "lumpy mattress phenomenon". It occurs most often around the hips, buttocks, and thigh areas. However, cellulite can appear anywhere. It is associated with "fatness", but thin people can also develop cellulite. There is usually a tightness and greater tenderness over the affected areas.
In his book, Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Dr. Michael T. Murray describes cellulite as a cosmetic defect; it is not a disease. There may be a heredity factor, but cellulite is so wide-spread that heredity is unlikely to be the driving factor. Cellulite is probably better described as a raised skin patch, resulting from an inability of the tissue beneath the skin to prevent its own fat cells from upward protrusion against the bottom of the actual skin layer. Over time, subcutaneous fat cells become overloaded, pushing upward against the subcutaneous fibrous web-like connective tissue mesh that normally retains these fat cells in their proper place. This connective tissue defect isdue most often to age-related connective tissue weakening. Men rarely develop cellulite because their subcutaneous tissue and dermis layer of the skin are endowed with greater amounts of fibrous connective tissue. Accordingly, women have softer, more tender skin than men. If women lose some of the youthful strength of their connective tissue, they become at much greater risk of developing cellulite; their subcutaneous fat cells find it easier to bulge, creating cellulite.
The topical application of Bianca Rosa Cellulite Cream introduces certain substances which promote the removal of the toxins present in the fat cells. As the toxins are removed, the fat cells function normally and return to their normal size, and a reduction in cellulite is observed.
Bianca Rosa Cellulite Cream combats cellulite by increasing circulation and decreasing water retention. Cellulite can also be addressed through a reduction in stress and the elimination of chemical additives from your diet.
The product appears to be rather watery in texture so its not easy to work with it. Also the amount is rather small, the bottle should be a bit larger.
As to results they are very good, cellulite appears to be diminishing.
The Bianca Rosa Cellulite Lotion was very watery and I did not see any of the results that I normally see from other products. I am approxiamtely a size 4/6 and weigh approximately 128lbs and stand about 67 inches tall; therefore, I am not obese. I have two anti-cellulite lotions that I use alternately for a little dimpling on the back of my thighs. Both of these products work great, with wonderful visible results. I stopped using them to use the Bianca Rose for a few weeks and was very disappointed that there 'no' visible results. I followed the directions on the bottle with no success, I feel like I threw away money.
A little goes a long way ... AMAZING PRODUCT !
Size is not everything and looks are not always what they appear. Product is very viscous however it makes it easy to apply a thin layer and it dries fast. After massaging this light fluid product onto the backs of the thighs and rear regions for 3 weeks, transformation is incredible. It helps to reduce consumption of red meat and pork from the diet and increase water intake to 8 or more glasses a day. Outstanding product.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is a state in the New England region of the northeastern United States. Most of its population of 6.4 million live in the Boston metropolitan area. The eastern half of this relatively small state is mostly urban and suburban. The west is primarily rural, also with most of its population in urban enclaves. Massachusetts is the most populous of the six New England states and ranks third in overall population density among the 50 states.
In Marvel lore, Massachusetts is the home of a number of prominent figures, including Emma Frost, Ms. Marvel, and Two-Gun Kid.
Bloodstone Curios
Dorkham Asylum
Massachusetts Academy
Farmingham
Frost International
Rosewell Sanitarium
Bloodstone Curios is a museum/curio shop located in Boston, Massachusetts. It was once the family estate of monster hunter Ulysses Bloodstone. Following Bloodstone's demise, a man named Charles Barnabas became the executor the estate and maintained its upkeep with the aid of a servant named Mister Dlurga, Dlurga's son Tomas, and a caretaker named Adam.
Boston is the capital and largest city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The city is located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, in the northeastern United States. The largest city in New England, Boston is considered the economic and cultural center of the entire region.
Charles is a small town located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It is the location of Rosewell Sanitarium. The entire town was nearly pulled into a crater of "unreality" when Devil Slayer's telepathic power merged with that of a shattered fragment of the Nexus of All Realities.
Emma Frost became chairwoman of this multi-billion dollar corporation by using her business instincts and telepathic powers. Electronic and mechanical devices constructed by Frost International have been used by the Hellfire Club to further their socio-political ambitions.
Harvard University is a private university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, U.S., and a member of the Ivy League.
Administrated by headmistress Emma Frost, the Massachusetts Academy was a private education institution specialzing in the training of young mutants. It was analogous to Professor Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. It was here that the Hellions were first formed and it later became the base of operations for Generation X.
Founded in 1626, Salem is one of the oldest cities in the United States. It is known primarily as the site of the Salem Witch Trials, and on Earth-616 is a major hub for magic-users and as such, at John Hawthorne High, there are rivalries between magic-using students ("wicks") and regular students ("blanks").

Dennis Witmer sees more than just storage space in the grain elevators that dot the Palouse.
Witmer, a landscape photographer, realizes the importance of the equipment and sees its functions and role in people's daily lives.
Driving down the Palouse, Witmer took an interest in the grain elevators and decided to find each one in Whitman County. He found 62 sites, home to both working and inoperative elevators, and captured them through photos that are now on display in the Colfax Museum.
Witmer remembers his days on the farm growing grain and notices differences in the elevators then versus now.
He did not want to work in grain storage his whole life and he enjoyed writing. He pursued this passion, but found it was harder than he thought.
He said he found it easier to tell a story through a picture.
Her job as a wildlife biologist led her and Witmer to Alaska. They spent 26 years in Alaska and moved to Spokane in 2012.
Witmer and a local historian met at the Colfax Library last spring while a different exhibit was being set up. The historian mentioned Witmer's photos and published photo books to the library director, Kristie Kirkpatrick. The library now holds over 60 of Witmer's grain elevator pictures.
"They are part of a landscape that Witmer brings to life in the new exhibit," Kirkpatrick said.
All through September and October, Witmer's pictures can be found in The Center at the Colfax Museum. The exhibit is named "The Grain Elevators of Whitman County," and is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.


Essentials for the Kitchen, Accents for the Home.
Consider the Cook was started over 30 years ago by six young mothers who agreed that each would work one day a week and close on Mondays. Under that unusual arrangement, the shop flourished, and in 2000 it was purchased by Dina Clason, a former china buyer from Tiffany & Co. and a frequent patron of the shop. She relocated the store to Bedford Village, New York and expanded its line to include table top items along with high end kitchen equipment The shop is dedicated to the fine art of entertaining with special consideration for the cook. Its wares include dinnerware and serving pieces from, England, Italy and Portugal as well as elegant serving utensils, glassware, linens and accessories that evoke the virtues of an aesthetically pleasing dining table and the right tools to prepare the meal. There are also home accents like lamps, sconces, mirrors, clocks, tables and at Christmas time a great selection of ornaments.


WASHINGTON: Guatemala will move its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv in May, two days after the US embassy makes the same move, Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales said on Sunday at a conference in Washington.
Guatemala was one of only a handful of countries that backed US President Donald Trump's December decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Trump's move reversed decades of US policy, upsetting the Arab world and Western allies.

Here goes anything that I consider to be creative.
I'm having three of my knitting friends over for a get-together tonight. I spent yesterday preparing some goodies for us to eat. One can't meet to knit and gossip without having something sweet on the table.
I made a frozen cheesecake (with lemon flavour) and chocolate balls! I haven't made chocolate balls in ages but they're lovely! They contain oats, butter, cacao, sugar, vanilla sugar and some coffee. There's no heat involved in making them (no melting of butter or using the oven) so it's just a matter of mixing ingredients, make balls and roll them in either pearl sugar or coconut flakes. Easy!
Pattern: This is a Jewelry Roll designed by Valerie Williams and available in One-Yard Wonders by Yaker&Hoskins.
Fabric: The main fabric with dragonflies comes from Blank Quilting and the green and gold used on the pockets is Outback by Jinny Beyer and RJR Fabrics. I don't know where the gold-spotted black fabric comes from.
Modifications: I used three different fabrics as opposed to just one (suggested in the pattern). I had seen other Jewelry Rolls around made in different fabrics and I really liked the look. I also made the ribbons for the ring placket 4″ longer as suggested by Melissa who had done a Roll for pinkchalkstudio's One-Yard Wonders Sew Along.
A detail of the dragonfly fabric. I totally loooove this fabric!
Remember my photo project for 2011? I'm taking pictures every day and one is chosen to go in a picture book I will print.
February 17th, 2011 – Meeting friends for a "fika" and some knitting. The chocolate fudge cake was extremely lovely!
Ramblings: I thought the design was interesting with its bottom corners (see picture below). I've never seen a box-shape made that way. Don't know how practical it is (I imagine dirt and stuff to quite eaily get stuck in those folds) but it looks neat.
Overall, I enjoyed the fast project. From cutting out the pieces (standard rectangles of different measurements) to having a complete bag only took about three-four hours.

Net neutrality could end telcos dominance
Nov 20, 2014, 04.17 PM IST
Milind Deora Former Minister of State, Communications & IT
US President Barack Obama recently coaxed the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to adopt the "strongest possible rules on net neutrality", throwing the cat among the pigeons for American cable companies and telcos. The underlying philosophy of treating broadband as a utility, like electricity, can have a colossal impact on the short-term profitability of telcos who are playing a zero-sum game with over-the-top (OTT) service providers like WhatsApp and Skype. Obama's statement immediately attracted criticism from baiters like Republican Senator Ted Cruz, who was quick to tweet, "Net neutrality is ObamaCare for the internet."
Political rhetoric and acronyms aside, what's really at stake for customers of high-speed internet content, both in India and overseas? Simply put, we're about to get spoilt rotten for choice. Media and telco magnates debate endlessly who the king is: content or distribution. Regardless, it's clear: in this battle, the customer is, as my friend and SFX Entertainment chief content officer Prem Akkaraju puts it, undisputedly King Kong.
Who really 'owns' the customer? In other words, who asserts maximum influence when it comes to monetising her communications ecosystem? That's what lies at the heart of this debate. For instance, if you'veceded your life to an iPhone (join the club!), you use iTunes to download your favourite songs and videos, Skype to make free or low-cost international calls over your neighbour's Wi-Fi connection (not me!), WhatsApp for messaging (Facebook didn't value it at $19 billion for nothing!) and subscribe to 2G/3G/LTE services, Apple, Skype, WhatsApp and your telco believe that they 'own you.
In reality: all hail the real boss you, the customer.
Today, telcos are more powerful than OTT service providers and smartphone manufacturers such as Apple or Samsung. That's because they control the distribution network and the last mile. With net neutrality, that could change.
Pipe Owners Protest
In India, the Cellular Operators Association of India has presented a strong case for net partiality to India's FCC, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai). Their contention with OTT service providers is that messaging apps eat into telcos' SMS revenues, video apps choke congested networks, leading to additional network improvement costs, and because popular apps like WhatsApp and Skype are foreign-owned and hosted, they pose a security challenge for our law enforcement agencies. Even before I took oath as India's minister of state for communications and information technology, I've always been a proponent of net neutrality. It's a pro- versus anti-choice debate. Shortly after President Obama intervened, Netflix tweeted, "Consumers should pick winners and losers on the internet, not broadband gatekeepers."
To be fair, Indian and foreign telcos have legitimate concerns that regulators should speedily address. But in the long run, as voice revenues fall and eventually dissipate, telcos will need high-bandwidth OTT content to fuel demand for data. Ironically, it's in their long-term interest to propagate net neutrality. After all, in the indistinguishable road transportation business, as long as a highway operator is collecting toll, discriminating on car models makes no sense. The more and bigger the cars, the merrier for highway operators.
Instead of rehashing what the UPA set out to do and limiting its agenda only to mobile penetration, the Prime Minister's Digital India initiative should take the Trai on board and think net neutrality through. Championing universal connectivity with limited consumer choice is a futile endeavour. It's also against innovation, attracting investments and the principles of transparency and information democratisation.
Hurting Rural Initiative
During my three-year stint in the ministry, I helped coordinate the rollout of a state-funded fibre-optic network to connect rural India. Its present avatar, the Bharat Broadband Network, will guarantee any OTT service provider think utilitarian applications like telemedicine and e-learning non-discriminatory access up to a village panchayat. This will take care of the backhaul portion of India's rural telecommunications network. However, paid prioritisation and throttling content at the last mile remains a serious concern.
Think on Your Feet
Because of ever-changing commercial dynamics in the internet space, and because the internet brings disruptions in Silicon Valley to India in real time, the Trai, and the ministry of communications and IT in particular, must try to stay ahead of the curve. To start with, they must accept that the business models and core competencies of today will be irrelevant tomorrow. Next, they should take India's internet ecosystem of telcos and OTT service providers along on the arduous path of digital enlightenment, until every stakeholder recognises the only eternal and unvarying truth about the internet: the customer is King Kong.

Seeing Viewability Clearly
by Sherrill Mane , Op-Ed Contributor, August 19, 2013
As the ecosystem continues to transition to a viewable display advertising currency and dives deeply into the nuances of digital video viewability, the prodigious efforts many companies and individuals have made to further these goals are more and more visible. The Media Ratings Council (MRC), Association of National Advertisers (ANA), American Association of Advertising Agencies (4A's) and Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) have been publishing materials and producing webinars and Town Halls, and even launched a comprehensive sitedevoted to Making Measurement Make Sense (3MS), to get industry stakeholders prepared for the dramatic shift that is nearly upon us. But this is a big change that requires communication every step of the way.
For example, as we get closer to the date when the MRC plans to lift its advisory against transacting on viewable impressions, it's imperative that the marketplace is fully clear in understanding that seeing viewability and being viewable are two different things.
I mean that while there's broad consensus around the need to have a viewability standard, there is still much work underway to ensure that improved measurability and the technical enhancements needed to ensure that goal are in place. There is still a debate in digital video circles about the precise requirements that should be in the standard.
Thankfully, I'm seeing our communications about this important distinction taking hold.
Courtesy of the 4A's, I was able to attend a recent briefing by George Ivie, CEO and executive director of the MRC for agency planners and buyers. This group of bright people who are executing digital buys everyday understood that while we see viewability coming -- and coming soon -- the tools are not yet in place to transact on viewability. We have not yet become as fully measurable as we would like, and therefore cannot prove how viewable we are yet.
The planners and buyers in the room recognized why the leaders of their respective agencies have been working with the rest of the ecosystem to secure an orderly transition to viewable display currency. And they are eager to do so themselves, even in the face of client requests for viewability guarantees.
That deep understanding of the shift that is underway with 3MS was gratifying to see. However, it is still incumbent upon all of us involved in the initiative to keep the communication going strong. In that vein, several materials were published last week, and anyone preparing for the switchover needs to review them straight away:
A Metrics Insider article by George Ivie and my colleague Steve Sullivan, vice president of advertising technology for IAB, entitled "Reduce Unmeasurable Inventory Now: Viewable-Impression Standard Coming."
A blog post on "The Fourth Quarter Countdown to Viewability" by Bob Liodice, president and CEO of the ANA, which provides perspective on marketers' POV on the need for new digital measurement standards.
A video hosted by James Deaker, vice president of advertising and data solutions at Yahoo, detailing how IAB SafeFrame enables viewability and innovation.
An in-depth FAQ on 3MS from inception to today.
An official timeline for the 3MS initiative.
Becoming familiar with these materials will give you:
Undeniable confirmation that marketers want viewability standards in place by the end of 2013, as well as an understanding that sellers who make the investments required to change to a viewable display impression will be rewarded.
An understanding of how to move unmeasurable inventory to measurable.
A primer on how SafeFrame, a critical solution to seeing into i-frames, works.
Detailed information on the who, what, when and why of the 3MS program.
To our colleagues who have asked for more information and conversation, and to our colleagues who simply have been too busy to follow the developments, I say: Please read up, please listen, and please ask questions! In fact, the IAB is hosting a Town Hall on 3MS tomorrow, and you are welcome to join. We anticipate a capacity crowd, but encourage you to register for the webinar.
All of you are part of this major turning point for the digital arena. Now is the time to get updated and involved.

John Grono from GAP Research, August 19, 2013 at 7:02 p.m.
Good post Sherrill. There is a strong similarity to OOH. Virtually every billboard is 'viewable' (apart from the few that have been obstructed by tree growth of new construction) otherwise they wouldn't have been erected. But this does not mean that everyone who passes a billboard sees it. So, in Australia's OOH measurement system the basic unit is to calculate the 'opportunity-to-see' (i.e. whether it is viewable and by how many), but we only report on the 'likelihood-to-see (i.e. just that proportion which will see a billboard on the average day). The latter was collected using hundreds of hours of eye-gaze data from which we were able to generate a seven-parameter algorithm that can determine/predict that likelihood.
Laurent Nicolas from Alenty, August 20, 2013 at 4:18 a.m.
Very interesting analysis, thanks!
Ad-viewability in iframes is not a problem anymore. So SafeFrames may not be the ultimate solution, because ad-viewability vendors are more neutral than publishers...
Regarding instream video ads, the same IAB standard can technically be applied (50% of the area in-view during more than one second). Alenty has done this for several years...
But the market requires a stricter level, just because instream ads are much more expensive.
Some of our clients, like canalplus.fr, use our measurement to guarantee that the video ad is viewable during at least 80% of the duration of the message...
Nick D from ___, August 20, 2013 at 10:45 a.m.
Laurent: "Ad-viewability in iframes is not a problem anymore": can you clarify? Cross-domain iFrames are still a problem, no?
And it was my understanding that the 'debate' about video viewability was more or less over - several key video vendors having got together to agree a standard? Those discussions may not have included the IAB, but that's beside the point.
Laurent Nicolas from Alenty, August 20, 2013 at 11:56 a.m.
There are solutions to measure ad-viewability within iframes. Contact me (laurent.nicolas at alenty.com) if you want to know more.
Regarding videos, vendors only refer to ad-delivery, not ad-viewability. The difference is not negligible... Google TrueView for instance guarantees that the video was delivered, not that it was seen (in-view).
Sadie Marshall from O&S Media, March 19, 2014 at 10:53 a.m.
You have written a great article here Sherril. I agree with Laurant that there are few probs now with ads in iFrames compared to a while ago.
Peter Myles from Media Associates, January 19, 2015 at 10:31 p.m.
Interesting topic, but I'm not sure I agree with everything said here. True, in the past there were some inherent problems associated with iFrames and displaying ads, but nowadays that really doesn't present much of a problem anymore. For starters, what type of platform are we talking about here? Ads can be displayed satisfactory across most digital platforms. When we talk about the ad itself, what language best suits, is probably more to the point, then will iFrames cause a negative impact.

Державна реформа в контексті Бельгії — це постійний процес пошуку та пошуку конституційних і правових рішень проблем і напруги в різних верствах бельгійського населення, переважно між голландськомовними жителями Фландрії та франкомовними жителями Валлонії. Загалом Бельгія еволюціонувала від унітарної держави до федеративної держави з громадами, регіонами та мовними зонами.

Короткий огляд
 Перша державна реформа (1970) – Створено культурні спільноти (фламандська вимога). Конституційні основи територіальних регіонів (вимога Валлонії).
 Друга державна реформа (1980 р.) – Культурні спільноти стають спільнотами, які мають більше повноважень, пов'язаних з особистими справами. Створено територіальні фламандський і валлонський регіони (пізніше Брюссельський регіон). Громади та регіони отримують власні парламенти та уряди.
 Третя державна реформа (1988–1989 рр.) – Освіта передана громадам. Створено Брюссельський регіон.
 Четверта державна реформа (1993) – Бельгія стає повноцінною федеративною державою. Громади та регіони отримують більше свободи, а їхні парламенти тепер обираються прямим шляхом.
 П'ята державна реформа (2001) – Більше повноважень для регіонів (сільське господарство та нагляд за місцевою владою). Рефінансування громад та регіонів.
 Шоста державна реформа (2011) – Більше повноважень для регіонів і громад. Виборчий округ Брюссель-Галле-Вілворде був розділений. Рефінансування громад та регіонів.

Історія

У 1970 році відбулася перша державна реформа, яка призвела до створення трьох культурних спільнот: Нідерландської культурної спільноти, Французької культурної спільноти та Німецької культурної спільноти. Громади взяли на себе відповідальність за всі культурні справи. Найважливіше те, що вони взяли під контроль мовлення та використання мови громади. Ця реформа була відповіддю на фламандську вимогу культурної автономії. Перегляд конституції 1970 року також заклав основи для створення трьох регіонів, що стало відповіддю на вимогу валлонів і франкомовних жителів Брюсселя щодо економічної автономії. 18 лютого 1970 року прем'єр-міністр Гастон Ейскенс оголосив про закінчення «La Belgique de papa».

Друга державна реформа відбулася в 1980 році, коли культурні громади стали громадами. Громади взяли на себе повноваження культурних спільнот щодо культурних питань і стали відповідальними за «питання, що стосуються особи», такі як охорона здоров'я та молодіжна політика. Відтоді ці три спільноти були відомі як фламандська спільнота, французька спільнота та німецькомовна спільнота.

Thousands of people use the Transfort system to get around Fort Collins every day. Thousands more use private bus services, like Greyhound, to travel long distances, as well as school buses. Although riding a bus is usually a safe way to travel, many people suffer serious injuries each year in bus accidents. At the Tenge Law Firm, LLC, our Fort Collins car accident attorneys help accident victims receive the compensation they deserve after a devastating crash, and we are available to help you, too.
Buses are large commercial vehicles, so they can inflict life-altering injuries when they collide with a vehicle or a pedestrian. Passengers riding the bus can also suffer injuries when they are thrown around, either after a collision or as the bus skids off the road.
Unsurprisingly, many accident victims die as a result of the collision. In 2016, 227 buses killed hundreds in fatal crashes, leaving family members behind, wondering how they can support themselves.
These emotional injuries are just as serious as physical ones and warrant immediate medical intervention. Many of our clients attend therapy, group counseling, and receive antidepressants or other medications to help them cope with the emotional repercussions of the bus accident.
Drivers owe other motorists a duty to operate their vehicles with reasonable care. However, buses owe an even higher duty to their passengers and other people. Because buses are "common carriers," they must use the utmost care to prevent accidents and injuries. This heightened duty sometimes makes it easier for injured victims to prevail in lawsuits against common carriers as compared to other motorists on the road.
A bus company also owes the public a duty of care when hiring and training its drivers. Bus companies should not knowingly employ someone who poses a danger to public safety and should probably run background checks on applicants before making a hiring decision. Bus companies should also adequately train drivers so that they can drive safely. When bus companies fail at these duties, they can face responsibility for your injuries.
Request evidence from the bus company, such as onboard video or GPS information, that will show how the accident happened.
Interview any witnesses who observed the collision to identify what they saw.
Look at the bus and your car to see if they hold clues about how the accident unfolded.
Confer with expert witnesses who can help us understand what caused the accident.
Meet with medical experts who can help us understand the severity of your injuries.
At the Tenge Law Firm, LLC, our bus accident lawyers also can present this evidence in a compelling way to convince a bus company to settle your dispute. And if the company refuses to settle, we are prepared to go to court to vindicate your rights to compensation in front of a jury.
The amounts available will depend on the circumstances, with more serious injuries typically warranting larger damage awards. However, you should meet with a Fort Collins bus accident lawyer to review your case and determine how much is available.
Colorado law gives injured victims a limited amount of time to pursue their rights to compensation. If you are suing public, government bus or transportation authority, then Colorado subjects you to even tighter deadlines—you must provide notice to the government entity within 182 days of the crash. Your notice must contain important information about your injuries to give the government a chance to settle your claim.
At the Tenge Law Firm, LLC, our lawyers are here to help—but we need to hear from you before the deadline for pursuing compensation passes. If you take too long, a bus company can refuse to offer a settlement, and a judge will throw a lawsuit out of court. Don't delay.
Bus companies aggressively defend themselves against lawsuits, and injured victims need a powerful advocate in their corner from the very beginning. At the Tenge Law Firm, LLC, our Fort Collins bus accident lawyers are prepared to vigorously pursue compensation on your behalf. Please reach out to us today by calling (970) 212-4777 or sending an online message.

Organizing transportation for large groups can easily become a hectic task when you're using public transportation or rideshare services, or if you're figuring out carpool logistics. Although Denver is known for having some of the best public transportation in the country, large groups have fewer options once arriving in Boulder. Renting a motorcoach for your group travels in Boulder will not only keep your group together, but it'll help eliminate the stress of navigating around the city with a dozen or so people in tow. A charter bus will keep everyone together, offering minimal opportunity for group members to get lost on the way to a big event.
We have access to a variety of charter buses and minibuses to meet the travel needs of groups in Boulder. Rent a compact 18-passenger minibus to transport friends and fellow Buffaloes fans to Folsom Field for a big upcoming game. You'll have a professional driver dedicated to your trip so you can enjoy a day of tailgating and cheering on the Buffaloes. Large groups traveling for an Open Space and Mountain Parks learning opportunity at Chautauqua Park would be best suited with a full-sized 56-passenger charter bus to comfortably accommodate students. Many of the buses we charter can be equipped with additional amenities like WiFi, on-board restrooms, power outlets, and entertainment systems. Students will stay comfortable on a climate-controlled charter bus rather than traveling around town in an outdated school bus.

Denver Charter Bus Company is here to provide the highest quality transportation services for your event guests or travel group.

We recently received some photos from our friend Mer. The pictures are of Cumatz, a former street dog, who is now doing very well living on Mer's property.
When Ayuda first discovered this dog we called her Lucia. She was found nursing a litter of new puppies beneath the hull of an old boat.
But we soon came to learn that mama dog had a friendly sponsor. As a lake commuter, Mer had come to know this dog very well, named her Cumatz, and was planning on adopting Cumatz to her home in a western shore village. In fact, Mer had already brought this homeless dog to Dr. Miguel to begin her vaccination series, and then returned Cumatz to her home base as a temporary measure.
With birds-of-a-feather common interests, Mer and Ayuda teamed up to care for this beautiful new family.
Temporary shelter was created near the family's home base. At the right time, Cumatz was moved to her new home in a village which is only accessible by boat. Volunteer Marilena fostered (and sang to) the puppies in her home. All family members were sterilized and fully vaccinated. And last but not least, all of the puppies went to the homes of families which Ayuda interviewed.
Overall, a story book ending for a beautiful family of homeless dogs.
