This home is scheduled for demolition as of 11/2015. The owner bought the home for approximately $1,800,000. When neighbors saw that it was being gutted, they were sad that the integrity of the home was being compromised, but saddened worse to hear that it was scheduled to be demolished.

OMAHA, Neb. —A house more than 100 years old will be demolished after the paperwork was filed with Omaha Wednesday.
[Video: 100-year-old house to be demolished; neighbors voice frustration]
The property at 525 Fairacres Road has been a lot of things: a home for several families, a rectory for a nearby church, and now it'll be leveled.
People who live nearby aren't happy about it. Residents told KETV NewsWatch 7 that the house is the oldest in the neighborhood and they said tearing it down is removing a piece of Omaha's history.
"I think everybody in the neighborhood is heartbroken over it," Molly Schropp said.
"It's been a slow, painful death of the home," Jeannie O'Donnell-Heckman said.
From 1943 until the mid-'70s, 525 Fairacres Road was a rectory for St. Margaret Mary's Church.
It was purchased in 1977 by Myriel Boes.
Then, in 2013, the home was sold again, for $1.8 million. Neighbors hoped renovations would follow.
"I can't imagine why someone would buy a property like that and abandon it, let it deteriorate, finally tear it brick by brick down," Bruce Lauritzen said. "It makes no real sense."
In October, the homeowner cut sewer services. A demolition permit followed this week and neighbors say their fears were confirmed.
"They started gutting the home and I thought, well, the integrity of the house is gone," O'Donnell-Heckman said.
O'Donnell-Heckman put a sign in her front yard that read "heartbroken over history."
"Shame on us," O'Donnell-Heckman said. "We should have had something historical in this neighborhood to protect the homes."
Just down the road is another sign, calling out the homeowner by name.
KETV NewsWatch 7 spoke to the man, but his intentions concerning the home were vague.
Neighbors said if his intentions mean losing the home, they'll fight until the very end.
"It would have been nice to have somebody come in and appreciate it for what it was," Schropp said.
The city permit department confirmed that the homeowner went through all the appropriate steps for demolition, but no word when it'll start to come down.

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson were reported to have ended a months-long relationship in August.
The couple have given some insight into their relationship while dating and after.
This is everything that the couple have said about their relationship.
Pete Davidson publicly called Kim Kardashian his "girlfriend" for the first time in February 2022.

Prior to early 2022, Davidson and Kardashian hadn't said much in public about their relationship. While they were first linked in October 2021, and an unnamed source told E! News in November 2021 that they were "casually dating," Davidson didn't refer to Kardashian as his girlfriend until February.
In an interview with "PEOPLE (The TV Show!)" Davidson briefly referenced his "girlfriend," Kardashian.
"Most of my daily life is getting into cars and showing up to a set," Davidson said. "Or, if I'm off, I just either hang with my friends or chill with my girlfriend inside. So I don't do much."
Kardashian appeared to tell her ex-husband Ye that he was creating a "dangerous environment" that could lead to harm for Davidson.

In February, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, told his fans on Instagram to not "do anything physical" to Davidson, following his series of posts about Davidson.
"Upon my wife's request please nobody do anything physical to Skete I'm going to handle the situation myself," Ye wrote in a since-deleted post, Insider reported, referring to Davidson with a demeaning nickname Ye had used for the "Saturday Night Live" star repeatedly. He shared an image of a purported text from Kardashian.
"U are creating a dangerous and scary environment and someone will hurt Pete and this will all be your fault," the text, purportedly from Kardashian, read.
Kardashian liked a tweet calling Davidson the "sweetest guy."

In March, Kardashian liked a tweet from director James Gunn about Davidson, Insider previously reported.
"For the record, Pete Davidson is one of the nicest, sweetest guys I know," Gunn, who directed Davidson in the 2021 film "The Suicide Squad," said on Twitter. "A truly generous, tender & funny spirit, he treats everyone around him with respect."
In a March interview, Kardashian confirmed that Davidson wouldn't appear in the first season of "The Kardashians" ahead of its premiere.

Kardashian told Variety that she hadn't filmed with Davidson, but that she was not "opposed" to doing so.
"It's just not what he does. But if there was an event happening and he was there, he wouldn't tell the cameras to get away," she told Variety. "I think I might film something really exciting coming, but it wouldn't be for this season."
Kardashian also posted photos with Davidson on Instagram for the first time in March.

Kardashian told Ellen DeGeneres on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" in March that Davidson had gotten her name branded on his body, and that he had several tattoos inspired by her.
"The Kim one isn't a tattoo, it's actually a branding," she explained. "He wanted to do something that was really different."
Her favorite, she said, was one that said "my girl is a lawyer."
She also said that she had taken the "cutest photos" of the two of them, and said that she "went for it" and decided to pursue her "happiness" when it came to their relationship.
Kardashian said that she was at "peace" in her relationship with Davidson.

In an interview with ABC's Robin Roberts in April, Kardashian said that she was a "relationship kind of girl," and was satisfied with her relationship.
"I would be with someone if I didn't plan on spending a lot of my time with them," Kardashian said. "Obviously, I want to take my time, but I'm very happy and very content. And it's such a good feeling just to be at peace."
Kardashian said that Davidson was there to "support" her at "The Kardashians" premiere in April.

Kardashian told E! News at the show's red-carpet premiere in April that her then-boyfriend was there to "support" her.
"Like, it's my thing. I don't think it's like, his thing to be all out here with me, so I'm just so happy he's here to support," Kardashian said.
She also told E! News that there was some "hesitation" to share their relationship publicly, and that she waited to speak about it on the show.
Kardashian said in April that Davidson gave her props from their "Saturday Night Live" sketch together.

Kardashian said on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" that Davidson had given her memorabilia from their shared "Saturday Night Live" sketch as a gift.
"For Valentine's Day he got me the rug and the whole outfits and the little genie lamp," Kardashian said. "So I do own the rug."
Kardashian said that she wasn't "planning on" getting together with Davidson.

On the April 11 episode of Hoda Kotb's podcast "Making Space with Hoda Kotb," Kardashian said that she didn't intend to enter a relationship with Davidson.
"It was like the last thing that I was really planning on, and so when it did happen, we were kind of like, 'Oh, my god, I wasn't like planning on this and this wasn't even what I was thinking of,'" she said. "It just makes it that much sweeter, and so much more fun, when you just, sometimes you just can't plan everything out."
Also in April, Kardashian revealed that she and Davidson had a missed connection before they got together.

On the April 12 episode of the "Not Skinny But Not Fat" podcast, Kardashian said that she and Davidson actually met before they appeared together on "Saturday Night Live."
"I saw him at the Met and he knew I was hosting 'SNL,' but it wasn't announced yet," Kardashian said on the podcast. "He came up to me and we were talking about 'SNL," and I was like, 'They better hurry up and announce it, because I will not back out as soon as they announce it, but I'm so nervous."
Kardashian said that Davidson offered his number to her so that she could contact him for advice. However, her outfit that gala – a head-to-toe, jet-black bodysuit that covered her entire body — prevented her from using her phone.
"I was like, 'Oh, I have gloves,' and he was like 'alright, cool' and walked away," she said. "But I was gonna be like, 'Oh, take mine!' But it was like, no. So we never connected or anything."
In an April Instagram post, Kardashian said that Davidson's jawline was "snatched."

After being accused of editing Davidson's jawline in a photo, Kardashian posted a video of them kissing on her Instagram story. She also posted a screenshot of a Page Six article about the editing accusations.
"Hmmm," she wrote in an on-screen caption. "I guess Pete's jawline is snatched!!!! Snatched to the point u guys thought I photoshopped it!!! One pic he's laughing in mid convo!"
Kardashian dodged questions about their relationship on "The Kardashians" at first.

In episode five of "The Kardashians," Kardashian avoided answering questions about Davidson when prodded by producers and family members.
"That's a big smile," a producer asked during a confessional, after asking who she was texting. "Does his name rhyme with 'feet'?"
Kardashian laughed, but didn't respond.
Kardashian said on "The Kardashians" that at first she was just looking to hookup when she reached out to Davidson.

In the eighth episode of "The Kardashians" season one, Kardashian said that she didn't have deep intentions when she first tried to get Davidson's number.
When he didn't show up at the afterparty for her "Saturday Night Live" episode, Kardashian reached out to one of the show's producers to get his number.
"I wasn't even thinking, 'Oh my god, I'm gonna be in a relationship with him.' I was just thinking like, 'heard about this BDE, need to get out there,'" she said, using the acronym for "Big Dick Energy."
"I was basically just DTF," Kardashian said — "down to fuck."
Kardashian said that Davidson said she'd become "obsessed" with him.

In the ninth episode of "The Kardashians," Kardashian shared more about how she and Davidson got together. By that point in the show's filming, they had been dating for a "few months," and things were going well.
"Pete said, 'I'm gonna grow on you, just wait,'" Kardashian said during a confessional. "He's like, he knew. He's like, 'I give it four months in and you're gonna be obsessed.' And I was like, 'Okay, we'll see.'"
Kardashian also said during the episode that Davidson was the kind of partner to make small, "cute" gestures like sending her favorite ice cream with her on business trips.
"Pete is such a good, good person. I can't even explain it," Kardashian said. "He just has the best heart and always, like, thinks of the small things."
Kardashian also said that Davidson asking her out on mundane dates made her "horny."

Also on episode nine of the show, Kardashian spoke more about what Davidson was like as a boyfriend.
"One time, Pete was like, 'Babe, let's go get some ice cream at Thrifty," Kardashian said in a confessional. "And I was like, 'Oh my god, you are making me so fucking horny.''

While Davidson didn't appear on-camera at all during the show's first season, his voice was heard off-screen in the final episode.
Kardashian said that she wanted to introduce Davidson to her longtime audio producer, saying that she had "probably seen my vagina."
"More than me?" Davidson asked.
"Not more than you," Kardashian said.
Kardashian revealed in June the first text she ever sent Davidson.

On the "Today" show on June 21, Kardashian told Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie about the first text she sent to Davidson. According to Kardashian, it wasn't typical of her to ask for his number and send the first text.
"I ran into him a little bit before at the Met, and he gave me good advice, knowing I was gonna be on it," Kardashian said, referencing Davidson giving her "Saturday Night Live" advice.
"So I just reached out and said, 'Hey, thank you so much for that advice, it was so much fun,'" she continued.
Kardashian said in June that she and Davidson shared a skincare routine.

On "The Tonight Show" in June, Kardashian said that she and Davidson shared some hygiene habits.
"We got to dermatologists together, we inject our pimples together at the same time," Kardashian told host Jimmy Fallon. "The dermatologist is like, 'Is this contagious? You guys always have pimples at the same time."
Kardashian previously said on "Today" that Davidson had taught her a lot about skin care, saying that it was "our thing."
Davidson said that he "100 percent" imagines a future in which he gets married and has kids.

On an episode of Kevin Hart's Peacock series "Hart to Heart" released in July, Davidson said that his "dream" was to have a child one day. While he didn't explicitly mention Kardashian, he said that marriage was "100 percent" a part of that vision.
Kardashian confirmed that she was single after their reported breakup in September.

In the September 14 episode of "The Late Late Show with James Corden," Kardashian confirmed publicly that she was single, following reports in August that she and Davidson had broken up.
She told Corden, however, that she wasn't currently looking for another partner.
"I just wanna chill for a minute, I think I need some time to myself and to focus, finish school, all that," she said.
Kardashian said that it was easy to trust Davidson.

On season two, episode two of "The Kardashians," Kardashian said that she didn't have issues trusting Davidson. While the pair had broken up by the time that the episode aired, they're still together in the early-2022 continuity of the series.
"You asked me something once, you said, 'How do you trust Pete?'" Kardashian told her sister, Khloé Kardashian. "And I'm like, 'I just do. Like it's a feeling.' You know what I mean?"
Kardashian said on "The Kardashians" that she and Davidson had sex in front of a fireplace to "honor" her grandmother.

On season two, episode four of "The Kardashians," which aired in October but was also filmed pre-breakup in 2022, Kardashian revealed a bit about her and Davidson's sex life.
"Pete and I were staying at the Beverly Hills hotel last weekend and we were sitting in front of the fireplace just talking for hours, and I was like, "My grandma told me that you really live life when you have sex in front of the fireplace," Kardashian said to her grandmother. "And so we had sex in front of the fireplace in honor of you. I know that's really creepy."
She went on to clarify that they hadn't had sex in front of a lobby fireplace, but that it was still "creepy" that she had thought about her grandmother before having sex.

The Trump Interview: Give The Audience What They Want
Trump is a chameleon. He changes color depending on what audience he currently has. Among New York Times journalists, he's suddenly a liberal.

Trump is a chameleon. He changes color depending on his current audience. During his campaign he was a white supremacist who wanted to gut America's natural resources. Among New York Times journalists, he's really just a liberal concerned about the climate.
He told the New York Times people that he's now open minded about the Paris climate accord. But in his just-released First 100 days video, he promised to gut energy regulations, which we assume also includes the Clean Power Plan—an essential element to our participation in the climate accord.
At some point in time, we have to stop giving him the attention he obviously craves and just wait until he's in office and we can see for ourselves what he's going to do. Now, if only we could embed a crew of New York Times journalists in his office on a 24 hour a day permanent basis, we could be less worried about the climate and the environment.
Instead, he'll have Bannon and Priebus.

By Anonymous, I have always lived within shopping and eating distance of Benton.
Just because you live in a small town doesn't mean that you can't have culture and richness. Try a restaurant, a jewelry store and a gift shop or two for creating a quiet little stroll down the city streets of a town that once bustled with drug counters, a haberdashery and several barbers.
Cafe Chas serves sandwiches, wraps, desserts and specialty coffee like Southern Pecan coffee, iced coffee or Chai Tea in a nice location in town next to the large jeweler, Puckett's Jewelry. Wrap sandwiches include Jamaican roast beef, turkey, bacon and Swiss or club among others. There are also panini sandwiches, an Italian type of pressed sandwich and hot sandwiches like those made from croissants or hot pimento cheese. You will enjoy the French Euro flavor to the Cafe Chas.

They are located at 1012 Main Street right next to the previous business. They are open every day except Sunday. Their email is: puckettsjewelry@gmail.com. Their phone number is 1-270-527-3040.

It has been operating for four years for the point of bringing pleasure to those looking for gifts, souvenirs and other novelties. They also sell handmade children's clothes. Their phone number is 1-270-527-8115.
Finding a craft supply store where there are qualified clerks that know how to guide you is not an easy venture. At Piece of Mind Quilting and Crafts in downtown, Benton, Kentucky, although your problem is solved. You will find this business at 1209 Poplar St. which is the next street over from Main Street. There are items for rug making, fabrics, sewing notions and items crafted by local artisans for sale that you will love for their novelty design and country flare. This business offers classes in these arts also. The phone number is 1-270-527-2487.
Sometimes you want to escape to another time just a little bit. Without going to an amusement park or other various parks or an expensive restaurant, it seems there aren't many options anymore. Some small towns have successfully renovated themselves, after the big changeover of the 80s or 90s to shopping centers and supercenters, into little shops and such that are just right for a getaway excursion out of the rat race. 'The Best Little' place to go in Downtown Benton has to be number one because we all get hungry and the food is very good. Although it is highly likely that you will want to visit them all.

Bioton: Sci Gen's exclusive agreement for bulk supply of GCSF and EPO
Bioton's Singapore subsidiary, Sci Gen, has announced the signing of an exclusive worldwide agreement with ACL Biopharm (a commercial entity of biotechnology company CytoLab Ltd based in Israel) for bulk supply of GCSF (granulocyte colony stimulating factor) and EPO (erythropoietin). Both products will be manufactured by Intas Pharmaceuticals, based in India, and Sci Gen will formulate and package the products in its facility or through an outsourcing contract. The agreement calls for an option to secure the rights to manufacture the active biopharmaceutical substances, through a transfer of technology of which financial terms are yet to be agreed. The agreement is for 15 years with an option to renew. The world market for GCSF products is estimated for US$ 4bn and for EPO for US$ 10bn.
As a separate development, Bioton has reported signing two agreements with Bausch & Lomb Poland, a part of a leading global eye health company, for the distribution and marketing of ophthalmology Biodycyna and two other ophthalmology products. The value of Polish market for all these products is estimated at PLN 40m in 2005.
The first piece of news, out yesterday during the session, supported Bioton's share price. We believe that both news should further positively impact trading today.

Handcrafted fishing
Handcrafted fishing has long been an instrument of subsistence and essential connection with the identity, culture and everyday life of the entire region of Tibau do Sul.
Traditional families have largely survived and reproduced by taking their livelihood through ancestral knowledge of fishing, whether it be line fishing at the edge of the beach, fishing in the dry tide on corals, harpoon in diving, trolling in waters deep, in the old corrals, or in the crazy ones where they hide octopuses, morays and crayfish. Sailing by boat or fishing between stones and corals, the rich maritime knowledge gave life and longevity to the people of this land.
Worryingly, in the last three generations this knowledge is being lost due to a number of factors arising from progress and modernity. With the arrival of tourism and other economic activities that foment the region due to the tourist boom, the children of fishermen, and often themselves, by being able to change their lives and capitalize less arduously, naturally opt for this improvement in life . Many made money by selling land and retired, others invested the money from selling land in other businesses, many fishermen from yesterday, today work with boat or boat ride with their children. Often children are encouraged to study and obtain higher education by living in a large urban center and thus losing the direct bond with the sea.
Some older fishermen also end up suffering from health and may be unable to continue fishing, some because of old age naturally no longer have the physical energy needed to face the harsh conditions of the fishery. The public policies that should promote the basic guarantees to the fisherman as a sickness insurance or a retirement, practically do not exist. The fisherman's reality is one of the most difficult. Imagine yourself, throwing yourself into the sea with only a sailboat, spending days sailing under intense sun, rain, wind and sea air, lighting the fire and cooking, sleeping, sailing, fighting with big fish, day and night, far family and firm soil.
Precisely because it is an arduous task, the profession of the fisherman should be valued, since above all it is an ancestral knowledge passed down from generations to generations for hundreds of years, forming a set of techniques of high complexity and deep ancestral connection.
Fisherman goes out to navigate the walls to fish the albacore, leaving in the middle of the darkness of the dawn, according to the tide, being guided by the light of the continent, smaller and farther away, changing the boat and watering the sail to win the wind , lighting the fire with dry coconut and charcoal in the pot, cooking moqueca with sea water, on the tide swing, pirão, breakfast, fish, dinner. Being able to stand in the boat with the incessant balance of the tide is already an art in itself, dominated with skill and naturalness by fishermen.
After many hours, the color of the sea changes and you can see the continent far away, a fine spot on the horizon. An ocean cliff has arrived on the walls, where fish are made of bigger and faster fish, of nobler flesh, such as albacore, dentex, whiting and cacao. The albacore bait is made of a splinter of the skin of the belly of the albacore itself, which, when being dragged along the lines in the troll, refers to a sardine swimming away from the shoal. Stretching the lines tied at the ends of the boat and the sail, they are dragged into the endless tide, where the depth is thousands of meters, stretched and running with the boat of wind in the stern, catching the albacoras in the middle of the swift school, one to fill the deposit. Sleeping is given below in the frame of the hull on a lined mattress, the orientation is visual and is given by the almost minimal figure of the continent on the horizon, around, everything is sea, an infinite depth.
The return is not when you want, the return is with the boat full of fish, can last for days. And it is not straight and direct, the wind that sends, shifting, zig zag, down and down, down a little and coming back, it can take hours the return, patience and precision that only fisherman has, that when he steps on the ground firm or allowed to be carried by the balance of the sea.
Unfortunately modernity continues to oppress the tradition. Bringing the fish and then selling it at an increasingly lower price and having to compete with the big suppliers, risking their lives in the tide and playing with death in the open, discourages the continuity of artisanal fishing.
The current difficulties have also created a social and public health problem, because every time there is idleness and lack of perspective, there are also mechanisms of escape such as the example of alcoholism, which can take larger proportions over time, affecting health physical and family life of all involved.
Nowadays the few fishing boats that still remain in the Port of Tibau do Sul and Praia da Pipa are the most traditional fishermen who still have health and who resist changing their way of life. Even if there is no fisheries-related subsistence function today, they do so because they feel alive and connected with the past and with their deepest identity.
Being a fisher is not only an art, but it is also a claw, a way of life and of thought, an invaluable ancestral knowledge that can not be lost. Knowledge can only be transmitted from father to child, from teacher to pupil, in practice and in the grossest and most real way.
To be a fisherman is to honor an endangered class of brave and brave men in full connection with nature and with the balance of the tide that fills and leaks with the winds that blow and the waves that push them.

Q: Understanding AWS IoT from an Application perspective I understand Aws IoT from a device perspective that it should connect with a certificate and sync with its shadow and push messages to topics. But I struggle to understand from the perspective of a Web App or a Mobile App. My basic questions are,

*

*How to register an Application with AWS IoT?

*What is the Authentication and Authorization mechanism for Applications?

*How to grant an App access to a set of devices?

*How can the App listen to messages from devices of interest?

*How can the App send a command to device? I understand this is by
updating Device's shadow?

A: Generally, if you want to connect any application (Mobile, Web,...) to any AWS Services, you should consider two things. First, using AWS SDKs which you can find them here. Second, the application should have correct Authentication and Authorization attached to a user/group defined in IAM or Cognito.
In regards to your questions:

*

*For registering an application in AWS IoT, first it should be defined as an IoT thing and with correct policies, it can publish/subscribe to topics. Consider that, you should put certificates into the device. For connecting to AWS IoT services you can use AWS IoT SDKs, more information can be found here.
2 & 3. It depends on your project. You can define your application to have access to a specific thing in AWS IoT or you can define it to access all things in AWS IoT service (using IAM, Cognito or Temporary Security Credentials). You should consider correct policies for your application. You can find more information about authentication and authorization for AWS IoT here.

*AWS IoT has MQTT broker which handles the communication between entities that publish or subscribe to a topics. So if the application wants to get data from specific device, it should subscribe to the topic that things publish to.

*It can be done by publishing data to a topic which thing has subscribed to.
Thing shadow is actually the digital twin of actual thing so it should contains information which is related to the thing such as available resources, etc.

If you have dry hair, you have fragile hair. When you shampoo your hair, use the tips of your fingers to kindly pull the shampoo through your hair instead of roughly scrubbing it in.
Hot water is extra damaging to dry hair. When you're done, gently squeeze excess water from your hair instead of twisting and wringing it out. Pat it dry with a towel.
Hair becomes dry when the natural oils produced by your scalp aren't getting the chance to nourish it. Shampooing dry hair every day will make it even drier and more fragile since you're stripping those oils away on a daily basis. Cut back to shampooing just two to three times a week, to give your hair the chance to receive those nourishing oils.
Are you addicted to your hair dryer? Time to put it down and let your hair dry on its own. Directing hot air toward dry hair won't give it the chance to get healthy. While a blowout might make your hair look shiny, the heat is essentially quite damaging, and over time will cause breakage and split ends.
When you first start letting your hair air dry, you might not be thrilled with the results. Give it some time; after a month or so of treating your hair gently, your beautiful natural texture will finally get the chance to shine through.
When you just have to style your hair with a dryer (which should be done only on special occasions), use the warm or cool setting on your dryer, and keep it several inches from your head.
Weaves, dreads, and other styles that involve pulling on your hair from the roots are extra damaging for dry hair. Choosing one of these styles could reason breakage or even bald spots to occur. It's best to let your hair be its natural self when you're trying to nurse it back to health.
Great product works well. Helps with hair growth. Cant beat it for the price, I plan to leeps using. Thanks again.
Very informative post and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it:)!
I have been using Arganlife products for years now and have loved this healthy hair supplement. I used to have thinning hair for years--in part due to hormonal shifts and low thyroid but I have to say since I've been using this product my hair growth is steady and much thicker than prior. My hair has now grown long again and is healthy!

Young Filipino Innovators in 31st episode of 'Stories for a Better Normal' Series
January 19, 2021	Legarda: Every Peso Spent is Either for Destruction or Restoration
Message of Deputy Speaker Loren Legarda Turnover of Pineapple Fiber Extraction Facility in Balete, Aklan (December 17, 2020)
←Back to Home | Back to headline
SENATOR Loren Legarda renewed her call for the regulation of the use of plastic bags to help prevent oceans from carrying more plastic than fish as projected in one study.
Legarda made the call as she noted a 2016 report, The New Plastics Economy: Rethinking the Future of Plastics by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, which showed that the world produced 20 times more plastic in 2014 (311 million tonnes) than it did in 1964 (15 million tonnes) and at this rate, oceans are expected to contain more plastic than fish (by weight) by the year 2050.
"Plastic bags are ubiquitous components of the world's consumer culture. These non-biodegradable plastic bags symbolize the throwaway culture that we have developed. We cannot go business as usual as it pollutes our oceans and water, and even the air when burned," she said.
The Senator also noted that the Philippines, together with China, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, is considered among the top contributors of plastic trash dumped into the sea. The five countries are spewing out as much as 60 percent of the plastic waste that enters the world's seas (Ocean Conservancy, 2015).
In line with this, Legarda filed the proposed Plastic Bags Regulation Act under Senate Bill No. 430, which aims to strictly regulate the production, importation, sale and use of plastic bags.
"This proposed measure discourages the use of plastic bags and encourages the use of native reusable bags made of organic or recycled materials, and reusable containers made of glass or non-toxic and non-hazardous materials," she said.
Under the bill, a point-of-sale store will be prohibited from providing the consumer with plastic bags for the purpose of carrying or transporting items or products purchased. This will put the use of single-use plastic bags to a minimum.
Only plastic bags that are used to contain fresh fish, meat and poultry products, and primary plastic packaging used to pre-pack food items and in the manufacturing of finished products for sale in the general market are excluded from the prohibitions under the bill.
The disposal and management of plastic waste shall be done in accordance and pursuant to the provisions of Republic Act 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act, which Legarda principally sponsored and authored.
Legarda explained that the bill would also address the concerns of affected employees and workers of the plastic industry.
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) will develop programs for alternative livelihood opportunities for the affected employees and workers.
"As the problems of pollution, environmental degradation and severe weather shifts escalate, all sectors of society must act with urgency. Citizens should make conscious efforts to change daily routine and practices to produce a positive impact on our environment. Companies must change their economic mindset, wasteful production processes and packaging methods—from the use of seemingly cost-effective plastic bags into investing in long-term reusable and recyclable bags which are more sustainable in the long run," Legarda concluded.

Clobetasol propionate drug is broadly classified as steroidal, glucocorticoids or corticosteroids.
Clobex is typically applied on the skin where it's absorbed and metabolized in the hepatic system and excreted in urine and feces.
How to use clobetasol propionate cream?
Clobetasol propionate cream 0.05% is applied on the affected area and rubbed gently twice a day and not more than 50 grams should be used in seven days. This also applies for the clobetasol propionate lotion which is applied twice a day and should not exceed more than 50 grams in a week.
Always read through the instructions given in the leaflet attached with the clobetasol propionate cream for proper usage of the drug. Strictly follow the doctor's prescription for safe use of Clobex and never apply on damaged skin unless used together with antibiotics.
Common side effects reported with long term usage of Clobex creams include feeling drowsiness and fainting, blurry vision, irritability, palpitations and fast heart beat among others.
Where can I buy clobetasol propionate USP 0.05%?
Clobetasol propionate USP 0.05% being a common drug can be purchased over the counter in most pharmaceutical outlets across the world. Clobetasol propionate USP 0.05% can also be found on online stores and platforms like FairPriceRx.com where a patient can place an order and be delivered to where they are.
Patients with certain ailments are advised to inform the doctor or pharmacist before applying Clobex cream or lotion on them. Some of the ailments of concern are diabetes type two, skin infections like acne and rosacea or thinning of the skin. It is therefore important to monitor the sugar levels so the patient is not affected.

But my 11-hour Shatabdi journey from Delhi to Chandigarh on Sunday, which was not less than an ordeal, has now compelled me to review my options while travelling to Delhi in future.
As a frequent visitor to Gurgaon, I undoubtedly relied upon the Kalka-New Delhi Shatabdi Express for my commute as a little over three-and-a-half hour journey to the national capital never made the Delhi 'duur' for me. But my trust on the country's supposedly "superfast" train was shattered on Sunday as I along with my sister set out to return to Chandigarh from Delhi.
The train was scheduled for a 5.15pm departure and 8.40pm arrival in Chandigarh.
After listening to this, my sister looked at me and said, "Babe, we can't make it from platform 16 to one in 10 minutes let's hire a coolie." I was determined not to give up but one of the coolies came forward and held onto my sister's bag by then. Dejected, I too handed over my bag while she negotiated and settled at Rs 100 for the transport.
"Nahi jaegi madam apki train ek ghanta late hai," he replied. He knew it all along that the train was late, but didn't inform us earlier.
Finally, we settled on our seats and the train left the platform a few minutes after the new departure time of 6.15pm.
The train pulled up at Ganaur station and remained halted there for over two hours. The small deserted station offered nothing to eat or drink. The train staff had already served the snacks for the evening train by then.
Passengers stepped down to stretch their bodies meanwhile. Some indulged in rumour mongering as others quietly strolled along.
As no one knew the reason for the halt, I asked a Railway Protection Force (RPF) official who attributed the stoppage to some construction work of underpass going on along the railway track.
Inside the coach, an elderly man had set the mood with old Kishor Kumar songs on his laptop that blissfully massaged our stress. In front of me was a lady coming from New York, who was regretting to have chosen this train ride instead of her pre-booked cab.
Till now, neither any official announcement was made nor did any official come to inform us about the situation.
We were not served any refreshment or given another water bottle. My sister, however, went to the pantry and asked for tea. The staffer there said that the stock was for the morning train but he could arrange something if she could take care of "chai paani" for him. A tea lover that she is, obviously obliged.
At Bhodwal Majri, we saw a gentleman fulfilling his wife's 'Karwa Chauth' rituals via Skype. At the same time, the elderly man was playing the song, 'Chand phir nikla, magar tum na aaye, jala mera dil, karu kya main haaye'. I googled the song and got to know that it is from a 1957 movie called 'Paying Guest'.
At 12.25am, we had only reached Panipat where the train stopped again. By now, even the melodies of Kishore Kumar had died down after several reruns.
Finally, we reached the Chandigarh railway station at around 3.45am, and it took me another hour to reach home. On my way, I wondered how many amazing places in the country I could have reached within these 11 hours. But then, what's better than home?

Gynecomastia is a topic covered in the 5-Minute Clinical Consult.
Benign glandular proliferation of male breast tissue
Increase in estrogen activity relative to androgen leads to the development of gynecomastia.
Gynecomastia can be transient and may represent the normal physiologic changes that occur in utero or in adolescence. However, gynecomastia presenting or persisting in adulthood is typically pathologic in nature.
Pseudogynecomastia which is lipomastia (subareolar fat)
60–90% of infants and 50–60% of pubertal males have transient gynecomastia.
Up to 70% of men between 50 and 69 years of age report gynecomastia.
A study out of Bulgaria in 2007 put the incidence of pubertal gynecomastia at 3.9% in Caucasian boys ages 10 to 19 years.
Prevalence in adolescents varies from 22% to 69% and in adult males ranges from 36% to 57% (1).
Multiple factors can alter the estrogen to androgen ratio and precipitate gynecomastia:
Decrease in androgen production
Increase in estrogen production
Increase in peripheral conversion to estrogen
Inhibition of the androgen receptor
Increase in the level of sex hormone–binding globulin (SHBG) or the affinity of androgens to SHBG (decreases free or bioavailable testosterone)
Displacement of estrogen relative to testosterone from SHBG due to medications
Gynecomastia can be physiologic or pathologic in nature.
Physiologic gynecomastia presents in infants and adolescent boys and resolves spontaneously.
Neonatal gynecomastia: The placenta converts dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) to estrone and estradiol resulting in transient gynecomastia.
Adolescent gynecomastia: Transient increases in estradiol levels at the onset of puberty lead to gynecomastia.
Pathologic gynecomastia: persistent or adult-onset gynecomastia. 25% of cases are idiopathic, most secondary to age-associated decline in free testosterone and adipose tissue–mediated aromatase activity.
Illicit drugs: marijuana, heroin, methadone, alcohol, amphetamines, and over-the-counter bodybuilding supplements
Hormones: androgens, anabolic steroids, estrogens, estrogen agonist, and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
Antiandrogens or inhibitors of androgen synthesis: bicalutamide, flutamide, nilutamide, cyproterone, and GnRH agonists (leuprolide and goserelin)
Anti-infectives: metronidazole, ketoconazole, minocycline, isoniazid
Antiulcer medications: cimetidine, ranitidine, metoclopramide, and proton pump inhibitors
Cytotoxic agents: methotrexate, alkylating agents, and vinca alkaloids
Cardiovascular drugs: Digoxin, spironolactone, calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors, amiodarone, methyldopa, reserpine, minoxidil, and recently statins can be added to this list.
Psychoactive drugs: antidepressants, benzodiazepines, phenothiazines, antipsychotics (typical and atypical) (i.e., haloperidol and risperidone)
Medications: HIV medications like efavirenz, phenytoin, penicillamine, sulindac, or theophylline
Causes to rule out:
Primary hypogonadism: androgen insensitivity syndromes (defect in the androgen receptor), Klinefelter syndrome
Testicular tumor: germ cell (secretes hCG), Leydig cell (secretes estrogen), Sertoli cell (excessive aromatization to estrogens)
Adrenal tumors (secrete DHEA-S and estrogens)
Ectopic hCG tumors (hepatoblastoma, gastric tumors, renal cell carcinomas)
Secondary hypogonadism: Kallmann syndrome or prolactinemia, which can also stimulate milk production in breast tissue
Renal disease or dialysis
Malnutrition/starvation
Rare (true hermaphroditism [both testicular and ovarian tissue present])
Transient gynecomastia is seen in neonates or pubertal boys; typically resolves within 6 to 24 months
Geriatric Considerations
Medications and age-associated decline in testosterone production and increase in SHBG production leads to low free testosterone levels. The increased ratio of fat mass to lean mass leads to adipose tissue–mediated peripheral conversion of androgens to estrogen.
Prostate carcinoma—treatment estrogen and antiandrogen leads to gynecomastia in 50–75% of patients.
Primary hypogonadism; especially Klinefelter syndrome—primary hypogonadism; at risk for breast cancer
Testicular tumors; Leydig or Sertoli cell tumors especially when associated with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome or Carney complex

Appreciative Inquiry is generative as it develops a potential among organizational members to view their organization with a new lens which creates hope for the future and a confidence to build the future collectively. The purpose of the study is to validate the effectiveness of a Generative Appreciative Inquiry vs. Traditional Appreciative Inquiry and a Problem Solving approach in fostering generativity among organizational members. Seventy six organizational members of a large Midwest public transit organization participated in the study. The groups were divided among three interventions (Generative Appreciative Inquiry or the Synergenesis approach, Traditional Appreciative Inquiry and Problem Solving) and measured by constructs of Generativity developed from a multi-theoretical perspective. The study used both quantitative surveys measures and qualitative measures. The results empirically supports that Synergenesis is the most generative of all the approaches. Specifically, from the surveys it was found that Synergenesis created more hope, self-efficacy, group potency and positive affect than the other two approaches. Moreover, it generated the most compelling and practical ideas. Finally, the qualitative measure corroborated the finding by showing that participants from Synergenesis produced the most action steps than the other two groups. From a quantitative perspective, this study proves the power of an Appreciative Inquiry intervention to cultivate generativity among individuals. The study has theoretical implications as it attempts to conceptualize and measure Generativity within Appreciative Inquiry.

Where is silicone used in Trains?
When railway vehicles are designed and constructed, the safety for passengers and staff is the top priority. Safety levels have been increased continually over the years and today all materials used must fulfil the highest fire protection and passenger safety requirements. Silicone Engineering has long manufactured both solid silicone and sponge/foam silicones that are used frequently in the railway industry. Silicone parts are produced in varied formats from sheets, flexible profiles and fabric constructions to moulded parts. In this blog we will explore popular areas silicone is used in both internal and external applications within train construction.
Silicone sponge provides a closed cell insulation material with a high resistance to compression set, low thermal conductivity and strong resistance to water vapour diffusion protection against moisture penetration ensuring a dependable long-term protection against energy losses.
Within this application, silicone sponge is also excellent at stopping the proliferation of smoke when used to fill spaces in between ceiling spaces and compartments.
HVAC systems within rail carriages are designed to withstand heat fluctuations and varying degrees of vibration. kSil™V-0 has been specially formulated to withstand extreme temperatures from -60°C to 230°C whilst sealing to IP67. The high flexibility of the material also allows simple installation on even the most complex shaped HVAC fittings and equipment, protecting pipes against energy loss and condensation.
On air-ducts and refrigerant pipework, extruded silicone sponge tubes can make an important contribution to the high level of fire safety required in rail vehicles. The closed cell insulation material is armed with, flame retardant properties compliant to UL94 V-0 and low smoke, low toxicity rail standards EN 45545-2 (HL2 and HL3).
Silicone can provide high-performance gaskets for LED lighting in exterior components, available in both solid and sponge custom formats that include, profiles, tubing, cords and sections for specific sealing designs.
Silicone has excellent weathering properties from UV, Ozone and general weathering such as rain, wind, hail and frost. The seal will maintain its sealing properties in all conditions.
One issue that is particularly relevant to the rail industry is vibration. Our kSil™V-0 material in both sponge and solid provide excellent vibration, shock and acoustic dampening properties for rail flooring systems.
Due to its compact, closed-cell structure, kSil™V-0 effectively absorbs vibration and provides protection to train flooring systems and underground applications where vibration levels peak. As well as silicone being very flexible, silicones' molecular structure also helps defer harmful vibrations away from critical electrical systems and fittings.
LED lighting seals need to be protected from a range of elements from dust, moisture to high temperatures. kSil™V-0 is formulated to protect from all of the mentioned elements that would be common to a mass-transit vehicle. Its closed cell structure prevents water, dust and moisture ingress to IP67, ensuring a water tight seal.
Silicone sponge and solid parts are ideal for interior door seals due to the flexible nature of the material. A great advantage of the synthetic rubber, which becomes particularly apparent in the tight installation situations involved with mass transit vehicle construction.
Our low-density silicone sponge can be used in seat/cushioning applications, the lightweight material offers great comfort and excellent recovery from extensive use.
Our technical knowledge ensures that our products meet the current requirements for both mechanical performance and consumer safety.
Silicone seals and gaskets in solid or sponge form are perfect for enclosures that house vital equipment that include communications, UPS/battery backup, PA and CCTV, level crossing, security and CIS.
Silicone Engineering's expertise in silicone manufacture and design ensures the silicone seals used in this application achieve IP ratings of 66 and 67. The high-performance sealing provides ensures critical systems are kept completely sealed to perform at their optimum level.

Elle est desservie par la RD 231 qui relie Marquise à Ardres.

Le territoire de la commune est limitrophe de ceux de quatre communes :

Hydrographie

La commune est marquée par son sol marécageux, la présence de nombreux canaux de drainage et étangs.

Elle est traversée par deux cours d'eau :
 la rivière à bouzats, appelée aussi watergang du marais de Guînes, un cours d'eau naturel non navigable de , qui prend sa source dans la commune et se jette dans le canal du haut banc et ruisseau d'Ardres ou la rivière Neuve au niveau de la commune des Attaques ;
 le ruisseau d'Andres, cours d'eau naturel de , qui prend sa source dans la commune de Campagne-lès-Guines et se jette dans le canal du haut banc et ruisseau d'Ardres ou la rivière Neuve  au niveau de la commune des Attaques.

Climat

Le climat qui caractérise la commune est qualifié, en 2010, de « climat océanique altéré de type 4 », selon la typologie des climats en France qui compte alors huit grands types de climats en métropole.

Les sept principales variables caractérisant la commune sont présentées dans l'encadré ci-après.

Milieux naturels et biodiversité
Le territoire de la commune est situé dans le parc naturel régional des Caps et Marais d'Opale.

Zones naturelles d'intérêt écologique, faunistique et floristique
L'inventaire des zones naturelles d'intérêt écologique, faunistique et floristique (ZNIEFF) a pour objectif de réaliser une couverture des zones les plus intéressantes sur le plan écologique, essentiellement dans la perspective d'améliorer la connaissance du patrimoine naturel national et de fournir aux différents décideurs un outil d'aide à la prise en compte de l'environnement dans l'aménagement du territoire.

Le territoire communal comprend une ZNIEFF de  : le marais de Guînes. Cette ZNIEFF, situé au pied des collines crayeuses de l'Artois, aux portes de la plaine maritime flamande, correspond à l'ancien delta de l'Aa dans lequel se trouvent des tourbières.

Urbanisme

Typologie
Andres est une commune urbaine, car elle fait partie des communes denses ou de densité intermédiaire, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.
Elle appartient à l'unité urbaine de Guînes, une agglomération intra-départementale regroupant  et  en 2017, dont elle est une commune de la banlieue.

Par ailleurs la commune fait partie de l'aire d'attraction de Calais dont elle est une commune de la couronne. Cette aire, qui regroupe , est catégorisée dans les aires de  à moins de .

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des territoires agricoles (81,1 % en 2018), une proportion sensiblement équivalente à celle de 1990 (81,6 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
terres arables (57,7 %), prairies (17,1 %), zones humides intérieures (11,4 %), zones urbanisées (7,5 %), zones agricoles hétérogènes (6,3 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Le nom du village est une variante du nom de baptême André, du latin Andreas, du grec andros (homme).

Le village est dénommé  Anderne en flamand.

Histoire
Andres est connue au  pour la fondation sur son territoire en 1080 par Baudouin  de Guînes, comte de Guînes de l'abbaye Saint-Médard d'Andres, dépendant de l'ordre de Saint-Benoît. Détruite en 1544, elle resta en commende, avec refuge à Ardres, jusqu'à sa suppression définitive, en 1790.

Après 1160, Henry II de Campagne (Campagne-lès-Guînes), est seigneur d'Andres. Il est le frère de Baudouin de Campagne, seigneur d'Hames (Hames-Boucres). Henry II était l'époux d'Adelis de Conteuille. Il laisse en mourant un fils en bas âge Henry III, et deux filles Adelis et Aliénor. Son frère Baudouin, qui bénéficie de l'affection du comte de Flandres Philippe d'Alsace, va en assurer la tutelle contre la volonté de leur mère.

Adelis de Campagnes, fille d'Henry II épouse d'abord Eustache seigneur de Cauquelle ou Calquelle (Coquelles) puis Raoul ou Rodolphe de Fiennes. Elle avait apporté en dot à Eustache la seigneurie d'Andres.

En 1193, Eustache de Calquilla, marié à Adelide, est seigneur d'Andres et il cède à l'abbaye d'Andres des biens au moment où il prend l'habit religieux.

En 1347, un des bourgeois de Calais (Les Bourgeois de Calais) présentant les clefs de la ville au roi d'Angleterre Edouard III après la reddition de la cité, s'appelle Andrieu d'Andres; on peut le présumer originaire du village.

Circonscriptions d'Ancien Régime
Andres, une des douze baronnies du comté de Guînes, faisait partie, en 1789, du Pays-Reconquis (Calaisis), et ressortait de la justice royale de Calais, en suivant la coutume d'Amiens.

Son église paroissiale, dépendant d'abord du diocèse de Thérouanne, puis de Boulogne, doyenné de Guines, était consacrée à saint Jean-Baptiste. L'abbé d'Andres présentait à la cure.

Époque contemporaine
De 1875 à 1955, la commune était desservi par le chemin de fer d'Anvin - Calais, une ligne de chemin de fer secondaire à voie métrique, dont la gare, restaurée, existe toujours.

Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, Guînes est le siège en 1917-1918 d'un commandement d'étapes, c'est-à-dire un élément de l'armée organisant le stationnement de troupes, comprenant souvent des chevaux, pendant un temps plus ou moins long, sur les communes dépendant du commandement, en arrière du front. Andres en dépend et a à ce titre accueilli des troupes sur la commune, notamment un contingent belge.

Doctor Who: The Movie (Special Edition)
At this point, after five seasons (and change) of dazzling new Doctor Who, it's almost difficult to remember how lean the years were for the show after its cancellation in 1989. If I really project myself back to that time period, it reminds me that I shouldn't take the new series for granted, because it can't last forever. For a young fan in his twenties, each passing year with no new Who began feeling like an eternity. After seven years, we finally got something, and the results were this TV movie, which was co-produced by the BBC, Fox and Universal, and it aired on Fox in May of '96. Of course, seven years is nothing compared to the 15 years it's taken for the TV movie to get a home video release in the U.S., and most fans had pretty much given up hope for any kind of domestic issue until last August when it was suddenly announced that the rights issues had been cleared up, and a R1 DVD loaded with bonus features was imminent. Who-ray (but not Blu-ray)!
Those aforementioned feelings of desperation were brought up to help illustrate how incredibly monumental the TV movie felt back in 1996. Not only was Doctor Who back, but it finally had boffo production values, there was the tease of a possible series provided the movie snagged some respectable ratings (which in the U.S. it did not), and perhaps more than anything else, Paul fucking McGann was playing the Doctor. I'd been a Withnail and I fanatic for several years already, and to my mind there was no better actor suited to bring the Doctor back to life. Indeed, I even recall telling my then-girlfriend a couple years prior during a Withnail viewing how McGann would make a great Doctor Who someday. I was likely stoned out of my gourd at the time, but that matters not.
So as you might guess, I have an enormous affinity for this film, despite its numerous problems. But it's also interesting to note that nostalgia doesn't necessarily have to play a part. I was talking with my Bullz-Eye compadre Will Harris the other day, and he was recalling how when he was a kid, he watched some Doctor Who, and knew instinctively it was something that he should like, yet it never really clicked for him. That all changed for Will in '96 when he saw this movie and it turned him into a fan in one sitting. Of course, these days there are plenty of folks who really only know the show in its current incarnation, and one wonders how somebody who's only ever seen new Who would react to this film. I'd like to believe favorably, but then again, it requires adjusting to a whole new Doctor, and some new series fans are slavishly devoted to some of the current Doctors to the point where they can't be bothered with the concept if David Tennant isn't on the screen.
Anyway, it'd probably be a good idea at this stage to talk about the actual film. Though it takes place in San Francisco, it was shot in Vancouver, and though it was filmed in '96, it's set on New Year's Eve 1999. Right off the bat this presents a minor problem, simply because the planet went Y2K-crazy that New Year's. The folks who made this movie did not have a time machine of their own, so they didn't foresee the Y2K hysteria, and that's something of a shame because it could've worked beautifully in this story. The Seventh Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) is transporting the remains of the Master back to Gallifrey after his arch-nemesis was put on trial for his crimes by the Daleks and they exterminated him. It's a fairly absurd piece of exposition, especially since the Daleks aren't well known for their legal system, but it gets the story going, so whatever. As the Doctor kicks back in the TARDIS drinking tea and reading H.G. Wells, something goes wrong with the machine, and the Master's remains, in a kind of ooze-like form, escape from their urn and infect the console, forcing the machine to make an emergency landing in San Fran.

The Gilbert & Sullivan Very Light Opera Company's Production of
H.M.S. Pinafore or The Lass That Loved a Sailor
March 6 to 29, 2015
H.M.S. Pinafore Cast
Stage Director: Lesley Hendrickson
Music Director: Randal A. Buikema
H.M.S Pinafore was Gilbert & Sullivan's first full-length hit, opening 1978. It has remained, with Mikado and Pirates, among the "big three" of the G&S canon, continually in performance by groups ranging from professional companies to elementary schools. It's story manages to be sweetly romantic while tying logical (and mathematical) granny knots. Half the fun is rolling along with the rapidly rising level of implausibility. Don't ask how old Little Buttercup is supposed to be. Don't even think it.
As originally staged, the work had a contemporary setting. Over the years, the GSVLOC has mounted three productions of Pinafore, the first an homage based closely on photos and engravings of the original. Our second was a very contemporary 'Love Boat' setting. This, our third, is set on a World War II battleship. For a gaggle of blitz-wearied "sisters and cousins and aunts," a jaunt down to Portsmouth is a jolly distraction, and aiding young love an added treat. So grab your gas mask and your ration book and join us on the H.M.S. Pinafore.

NGC 526 is a pair of interacting lenticular galaxies in the constellation of Sculptor. Both the constituents are classified as S0 lenticular galaxies. This pair was first discovered by John Herschel on September 1, 1834. Dreyer, the compiler of the catalogue described the galaxy as "faint, small, a little extended, the preceding of 2", the other object being NGC 527.

Michigan Delegation: 78% of U.S. Senate TV ads bought by outside organizations
Updated Sep 7, 2014 ; Posted Sep 7, 2014
By Fritz Klug | fklug@mlive.com
Good Sunday morning and welcome to another edition of the Michigan Delegation, your look at federal politics in the great state of Michigan. We are now 58 days -- or 8 weeks -- away from the Nov. 4 election.
Spending on TV ads in U.S. Senate race
About 78 percent of money being spent on television ads for the U.S. Senate race has come from independent organizations, according to a new analysis from the Michigan Campaign Finance Network.
Terri Lynn Land has spent $3.95 million on television ads through Labor Day, while U.S. Rep. Gary Peters has spent $1.3 million. Those numbers more than double when you look at outside special interest groups and their spending.
Groups that support Land have spent $8 million in ads, which make up two-thirds of the television ads supporting Land, according to the analysis. The largest purchaser of ads has been Americans for Prosperity, backed by billionaire Koch brothers. The group spent $4.4 million but went off the air with ads in June.
Groups supporting Peters have spent $5.7 million, which accounts for 85 percent of television ads. The Senate Majority PAC spent the most for Peters: $3.1 million. The group is operated by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's former aides.
Rich Robinson, Michigan Campaign Finance Network, said he is most interested in the overall trajectory of the spending numbers in the race.
"A lot of independent money was thrown at Peters early on," Robinson said in an e-mail. "Much of that has fallen away."
He added that organizations spent heavily on Land earlier on in the election.
"As the underdog, given Michigan's senatorial history, Land and supporters had to spend early to try to close the gap in the polls," Robinson added. "Depending on how you the read the polls, you can say she has succeeded...or you can say she has not."
No more close on debates
The debate about debates continues. This week, WOOD-TV 8 indefinitely postponed debates for the U.S. Senate and Michigan governor's race because Land and Gov. Rick Snyder did not respond to invitations.
Associated Press reporter David Eggert talked to Land this week about debates, and it appears Land is not any more open to the concept. From the story (which refers to Land campaign spokesperson Heather Swift):
Asked if she would be satisfied if Election Day came and no debate had been held, Land said "I'll be satisfied when I win - and put Michigan first." When pressed on whether she was open to a true debate, Land said she wanted to know Peters' position on the EPA regulations and instituting a cap-and-trade pollution system. A reporter suggested a debate would be a way for voters to learn the positions, but Swift jumped in to say there would be more details later.
Levin travels to Ukraine, Iraq
U.S. Sen Carl Levin, D-Detroit, traveled to two of the most volatile regions of the world last week, and is calling for the United States to provide weapons and assistance.
Levin traveled to Ukraine on Tuesday to meet with foreign and defense ministers and to Iraq on Wednesday to meet with the Kurdish president and other leaders.
"Both the Ukrainians and the Kurds have shown the will to fight in their own defense. Both want and deserve our support," Levin said in a statement. "I believe it is very much in our interest to provide them the weapons and assistance they need to defend themselves against the serious threats that they and we face."
