nk and driving him into his rifle-pits, with considerable loss, however, to our troops. Our men had to contend with an almost hidden foe, the ground being cut up into ravines and covered by a dense forest filled with undergrowth; but notwithstanding all the difficulties of the country both officers and men did their work nobly, and having assumed a position were not to be moved from it. The enemy came out of his works in front of Newton's division, of Howard's corps, attacking Wagner's and Kimball's brigades, but was driven back after a short and warm contest. General Davis occupied Dallas with his division on the afternoon of the 27th, skirmishing with the enemy and driving him as far as he could without losing his connection with General McPherson. Davis reported that after skirmishing all the afternoon he developed the enemy in force and strongly posted in front of his (Davis') left, with a battery in position on a hill commanding the road between him and General Hooker. Davis
reful examination of the ground, I found only two points where the troops could have a reasonable cover in Stanley's front, and decided to make two columns of attack. Brigadier-General Harker led one column and General Wagner another, while General Kimball moved in support in echelon with Wagner's brigade. These columns had each a regimental division front, and were separated by about 100 yards interval. The whole front was covered by a strong line of skirmishers. Such troops of Stanley's a belonging to Newton, opened fire upon the enemy's columns. He was then! easily repulsed, after the first attack. Several subsequent assaults were made upon Newton's lines, the action lasting till after dark. The brigade commanders, Brigadier-General Kimball, Colonels Bradley and Blake, are highly complimented for gallantry; also other officers, in General Newton's report. The position held was vital, securing, as it did, the Buck Head and Atlanta road, and constituting the left of our rig

Sir: In obedience to Special Field Orders, No, 212, extract VII, dated headquarters Department of the Cumberland, August 3, 1864, I assumed command of this division on the day following that on which the order was issued, the division being then in position near the Howard house, about two miles northeasterly from Atlanta, on the left of the corps. Not having yet received the reports of the brigade commanders, I have not sufficient data from which to compile a history of the division during this campaign previous to that date, and shall, therefore, in this report speak only of its actions since I became its commander. On the 5th I was ordered by you to make a reconnaissance, which I did, demonstrating mean time with my whole picket-line, but did not succeed in developing any
on us, and at times during the day opened a very heavy artillery fire. June 23, at 3 a. m. was relieved by Colonel Scribner's brigade, Fourteenth Army Corps, and moved to the right about one mile, and relieved portions of Generals Harker's and Kimball's brigades. June 24, advanced skirmish line (Eightyfirst Indiana) and seized a ridge occupied by the enemy's skirmishers. One hundred and first Ohio and Twenty-first Illinois moved closely in support of skirmish line, and with assistance of pt. My regiments engaged performed their work in an admirable manner. June 25 and 26, occupied the same position, subjected to an annoying fire from the enemy. June 27, at 8 a. m. formed in column, regimental front, supporting in echelon. General Kimball's brigade formed for assault. The assault proving unsuccessful, was withdrawn and placed in same position occupied before. June 28, 29, and 30, occupied same position. July 1, in same position, with heavy skirmish and artillery firing. J
ich had been rendered almost impregnable against assault. The reserve regiments of the brigade were moved, in accordance with orders from Major-General Stanley, on the night of the 2d instant about one-half a mile to the left, and relieved General Kimball's brigade, of Newton's division. At early dawn on the 3d instant, the enemy being gone, the brigade was assembled and massed in an open field and awaited orders for pursuit. At 7 a. m., pursuant to orders, the brigade took up the line of mbut were kept off by the flankers. On the 31st we again struck out for the Macon railroad, this brigade in advance. We had not proceeded far when brisk skirmishing ensued, and we discovered a strong line of works in our front. By order of General Kimball I formed my brigade in line and commenced the construction of works. Believing the enemy to be in weak force the skirmishers were ordered forward and soon drove the rebels from their works, which were found to be quite formidable. I brough
during the night. September 1, our division marched at 6 a. m., First Brigade in advance, moving on the railroad toward Jonesborough; and under orders spent most of the day in the destruction of the railroad as we advanced. At about 4 p. m. the advanced brigade of our division made a junction with the left of the Fourteenth Corps on the railroad at a point about two miles north of Jonesborough. The First Brigade formed in line, its right near or upon the railroad. I was ordered by General Kimball to prolong the. left of the First Brigade, which I did without halting, until my advance was checked by getting into a thick bramble or underbrush and a swamp in a dense woodland, through which it was impossible to ride; and the enemy with a heavy skirmish line in our front and his artillery in reach, playing upon us, contributed to impede our progress.

Something I realised while drawing this: She doesn't. Part of this is my problem drawing round bottoms, and part of this is that Octavia doesn't have much of a what's the word…. ba-donk adonk?

Q: Cannot read .length property of undefined (sometimes) I'm trying to get checkbox values as an array, so later I can use them as part of a GET request.
Checkboxes are like this:
<input type="checkbox" name="diet" value="gluten"/>
<input type="checkbox" name="diet" value="vegetarian"/>
<input type="checkbox" name="diet" value="vegan"/>

I've (almost) catch them with this:
function getCheckboxValues(form){
    var values= [];
    var diet = form.diet;

    for (let i = 0; i <diet.length; i++) {
        if (diet[i].checked) {
            values.push(diet[i].value);
        }
    }
    return values;
}

Then I want to get them into:
var reqDiet = []; //global

So I can merge it into my get params
document.getElementById("submit-btn").addEventListener("click", function (){
    reqParams = "&diet="+reqDiet+",
    getRecipe(ASK_RECIPE, reqParams)
})

async function getRecipe(reqRecipe, reqParameters){
    let response = await fetch(reqRecipe+API_KEY+reqParameters);
    recipe = await response.json();

    let recipeStored = JSON.stringify(recipe);
    sessionStorage.setItem("recipe",recipeStored);
};

The problem is, if i run the getCheckboxValues("form_id") in console, it returns the correct array with items, but if i do something like
reqDiet = getCheckboxValues("form_id");

Console says :
Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')
at getCheckboxValues
What I can understund from this is that my program is not recognizing "diet.length" as an array when I do the last one, but do recognize it when i run the function by itself.
I prefer to do this in vanilla JS since I'm new here and trying to do this small projects.
P.S. any feedback in the post is apreciated since is my first one and i think is pretty large :/ sorry about that

A: You need to do reqDiet = getCheckboxValues(document.getElementById('form_id'))
The function expects a DOM Node and not a string, hence you're getting that error.

Jul 24, 2012; Dallas, TX, USA; Oklahoma State Cowboys offensive lineman Lane Taylor speaks to reporters during Big 12 Media Day at the Westin Galleria. Mandatory Credit: Kevin Jairaj-US PRESSWIRE
Lane Taylor is happy about it, are you?
There are some that have said bringing Savannah State to Stillwater for the home opener is a "new low" but I'm not buying it. Sure, they are a division 1-AA program in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference but they'll be just right for a team breaking in a freshman quarterback.
Last year, "State" lost 59-3 to Bethune-Cookman, 45-3 to Norfolk State, 47-7 to Florida A&M, 44-17 to Morgan State, 41-6 to Appalachian State and 63-6 to Southeastern Louisiana. Whoever scheduled these guys is a genius!
There is absolutely no way that Wes Lunt doesn't have a tremendous multiple TD debut. What could be better? And the defense! If our defense allows more than 200 total yards it will be a complete failure. So, Lunt throws 7 TD's and the Cowboy D pitches a shutout.
Ladies and gentleman, that's called a division 1-AA win.

Important note: The answers here are based on our understanding of pensions legislation. Tax depends on your individual circumstances and may change in the future.
Who can take out a Virgin Pension for a child?
The child's legal guardian (normally the parent they live with).
Your child also needs to be a UK resident.
Can I open a stakeholder pension for each of my children?
Yes. If you want to save for more than one child you can open a stakeholder pension for each of them. In each child's pension you can get tax relief on up to £2,880 each year. Tax is dependent on individual circumstances and may change in the future.
Can I start a pension for my grandchild?
Only if you are also their legal guardian. Otherwise, no. However, you can pay into your grandchild's pension once it is set up. So ask the child's parents or guardian to start a pension for them, then when it is set up you can pay into it.
Please note, under the current rules your child can't access their pension benefits before the age of 55, even if they retire from work earlier. Also, the amount of pension income provided in their retirement fund will depend on a number of factors, including investment returns, interest and annuity rates when you take your pension benefits.
Some savings products give you the right to change your mind and cancel your plan within a certain period. You do not have this right to cancel stock market based investments like the Virgin Stakeholder Pension that are sold over the phone or online.
When your child reaches 18, ownership of the pension switches from the parent/legal guardian to them. They can also start paying into the pension, if they wish. All correspondence, such as statements, will be sent directly to your child instead of you.
When will my child be able to 'cash in' their pension fund?
Under current rules, the earliest your child will be able to take their pension will be their 55th birthday.
What happens when my child eventually reaches retirement?
Where can they find out more about their retirement options?
Sites like the Money Advice Service can be useful when researching the current rules around accessing pension benefits.
To help understand their options, there is free impartial guidance available. Pension guidance can be accessed on the internet, telephone or face to face through the Government's website Pension Wise. To find out more visit pensionwise.gov.ukLink opens in a new window or call 0800 138 3944. And if advice is needed, you can search for a professional financial adviser in your area at www.unbiased.co.ukLink opens in a new window.
What options will my child have when they are ready to access their pension savings?
It should be a long time before your child is ready to access their pension savings. So remember that this answer is based on the current pension legislation and may change in the future.
They will have the choice of taking their funds as an income for life, for example by purchasing a lifetime annuity or taking a scheme pension, or they can flexibly access as much of their funds when they want.
They can take their whole fund as cash in one go and get up to 25% of this tax-free. Or they can make several withdrawals over time and receive 25% of each withdrawal tax-free.
Any withdrawals over the tax-free amount of 25% they will be taxed at their marginal rate (individual income tax rate, based on total income for that tax year, including money from pensions).
Take an income directly from their pension savings fund, which remains invested (known as 'income drawdown'). Through income drawdown, they can take up to 25% of their pension savings immediately tax-free and the rest as taxable income at a later date. Take out an annuity (where they swap their pension savings pot for a secure, taxable income, either for a fixed period or for life).
The amount of tax due will depend on how they take their pension funds and on their own personal circumstances.
With Virgin Money, you can only take all your pension savings in one go as an uncrystallised pension lump sum but remember you are always free to transfer your pension savings to another pension provider that offers any or all of the options you want to access.
How do I access the Government's free and impartial guidance service?
Pension Wise is a government service offering people aged 50 or over free, impartial guidance about their workplace or personal pension choices. You can receive Pension Wise guidance online, over the phone or face to face.
Pension Wise provides tailored guidance to explain what options you have and help you think about how to make best use of your pension savings. It offers information about the tax implications of different options and other important things you should think about, as well as tips on how to get the best deal, including how to shop around.
Pension Wise can help you make the decision that is right for you.

FUNAAB Trains Students On Poultry Production
By Funaab Gist TV June 15, 2018
Agricultural Media Resources and Extension Centre (AMREC), Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), has empowered some selected secondary school students in Ogun State with skills and knowledge in poultry production at its Capacity Building Training organised by the Extension and Adaptive Research (EAR), unit of the centre.
Professor Dorcas Adegbites, Director of AMREC, in her address, said that the training was in line with the extension mandate of the university aimed at improving agricultural enterprise and food production capacity of the public including students.
She said that the training is one of the series of Agriculture in-Schools Projects, noting that in the past, they had organised workshops in pig production, rabbit production and fish production, adding that some of the schools trained had established their own farms.
The director also added that capacity training on poultry was chosen due to its high economic importance that includes meat/egg production, income generation, the creation of job opportunities and scientific research.
She added that poultry is free from any social taboo and religious bigotry, stressing that it has high-quality meat with low calorie, low fat, and low in cholesterol but rich in vitamin A.
Furthermore, Professor Adegbite noted that poultry production is capital intensive but has multiple turnovers within a short period, adding that harnessing poultry industry would be an additional source of protein in Nigerians' meals as well as help to bring down the price of beef.
Delivering his paper on Turkey Production, Dr. Oladele Oso, the Head of Department, Animal Nutrition, College of Animal Science and Livestock Production (COLANIM), FUNAAB, disclosed that turkey needs six major nutrients for energy and healthy growth; they are the carbohydrate, lipid, protein, vitamins, minerals and water.
He added that starting a turkey farm would require capital, housing, feeders, water trough, turkey (poultry or 4-6 weeks old), feed, drugs and medication.
Making their presentation during the training, Dr. Kazeem Bello and Titilayo Irekhore informed that layers are reared for the purpose of eggs, saying that eggs could be a white shell, brown shell or blue shell, noting that blue-shelled egg is not common in Nigeria.
Professor Kolawole Salako, Vice-Chancellor of the university, while declaring the workshop open said that the extension mandate of the university covers the Southwestern part of Nigeria – Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti and Ondo states and it is charged with the responsibility of transferring proven technology in agricultural production, processing, utilisation, packaging storage and marketing to trainers and interested members of the public.
Professor Salako, who was represented by Professor Lateef Sanni, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Development) stated that the training and FUNAAB Annual School Poultry Contest that were launched were intended to encourage poultry production as a means of supplying the much-needed animal protein as well as stimulating the spirit of entrepreneurship in students at the secondary school level.
He added that FUNAAB Annual School Poultry Contest would commence later in the year and would be executed through sponsorship and in two parts, Annual Poultry Quiz Competition involving students' representatives and Annual Poultry Rearing and Show to involve rearing of poultry (broiler chickens) by schools, documentation of performance and an exhibition of the birds at the end of the rearing period.
The vice-chancellor implored the state government to equip secondary schools for practical agricultural production so that students would be able to put to practice what they learn in class as well as participate in the contest.
He also appealed to the World Poultry Association, Nigeria branch, Poultry Association of Nigeria, Ogun State chapter, hatcheries, feed and other poultry input producers and suppliers as well as successful poultry farmers in the state to support the university.
Professor Salako then charged the participants to pay rapt attention to ensure that every salient point is well captured as this could help their future life career or business venture.

Armour piecing rounds were developed in the 1860s to defeat armoured plate and were originally used by the Navy. At the end of the First World War the army started using armour piecing rounds for Anti-tank operations.
The Armour piecing round must be able to withstand the shock wave of punching through armoured plate without disintegrating, to enable the shell to archive this, a greatly strengthened case with a specially hardened and shaped nose had to be developed.
Generally the round is made from special, high chromium steel which is forged into shape, rather than cast, and then annealed; this imparts extremely high tensile strength into the round. They are generally used against tank armour, concrete or other defences, depending on the calibre of the round being used.
Armour piecing rounds contain no explosive; instead they rely solely on the massive amount of kinetic energy delivered by the explosive propellant and gun barrel design, to penetrate the armour.
High explosive rounds (HE) as distinct from High Explosive Armour Piercing rounds rely more on blast and are usually detonated on impact or with a timed or chemical fuse. Their armour piercing capabilities are somewhat limited and they are used mainly against soft targets, lightly armoured vehicles and buildings.
HESH rounds are a high explosive round encased in a thin outer shell with a soft plastic tip and a delayed- action fuse in the base. On impact with armour the plastic tip squashes onto to the armour forming a disc and preventing the warhead from skidding off and, owing to its relatively large and direct contact area with the armour, when detonation occurs, milliseconds later, a shock wave travels through the armour causing fragments to break off with high energy on the inside with a devastating effect. This effect is called spalling and the resultant shrapnel moves through the vehicle at high speed killing or injuring the crew and destroying equipment.
HESH rounds stand a greater chance of destroying conventional armour at longer distances than AP and other rounds that rely on kinetic energy to punch their way through, they are, however ineffective against tanks fitted with spaced armour.
The British army were the first to use APDS rounds introducing them in 1944 for use in the quick firing 6 pound and later 17 pound anti-tank gun. Armour-piercing discarding sabot (APDS) is a type of kinetic energy projectile fired from a gun to attack armoured targets.
The need to be able to penetrate the thicker armour that was continually being developed was needed, and one way to achieve this was to increase the impact velocity of the warhead. With the development of materials science and the resulting discovery of much stronger and denser materials (up to twice the density of currently available steels), achieved with the introduction of Tungsten, greater hardness and shock resistance were created and when these properties were combined with the higher muzzle velocities provided by the new propellant explosives that were being developed, a significant improvement in penetration properties was achieved.
A full bore sized round was found to be too heavy to accelerate to sufficient velocity so to get around this problem a smaller projectile was encased in a lightweight full diameter, discardable carrier shell called a Sabot, the projectile was about half the weight and diameter and the Sabot made up the difference needed to fit the bore exactly. Due to the large surface area for the gases to impinge upon the lighter projectile a far higher average acceleration within the gun barrel was achieved, in turn imparting a higher muzzle velocity. Once the projectile leaves the barrel, the outer sheath (Sabot) is discarded leaving the smaller projectile with less drag to travel to its target. In all higher muzzle velocity imparted more kinetic energy and therefore greater penetration, enabling the destruction of thicker armoured vehicles at greater distances.
Armoured piecing discarding sabot fin stabilized round is the next generation of tank on tank rounds, with the discovery of APDS rounds, at the end of the Second World war the quest to increase the kinetic energy and thus the greater penetration was always the goal, making the projectile thinner gave less resistance in flight but in turn made it unstable and the round tended to tumble, in order to overcome this fins were added to give stability. Some countries use depleted Uranium in dart manufacture it being even denser and therefore carrying more kinetic energy than tungsten.
Canister rounds were developed for use against infantry being a steel canister filled with ball bearings and fired from the main gun, detonated by a timed fuse in flight.
The shaped charge, by comparison, is light, cheap, easily portable and requires little sophisticated apparatus to deliver it to its target. It is a self-contained bomb which is detonated on impact and delivers its payload in a concentrated, narrow beam of kinetic energy which can penetrate armour steel to a depth of 7 times the diameter of the charge.
The shaped charge relies on the "Munroe" effect which is the focusing of blast energy by a conical void at the front of the blasting charge.
Charles E. Munroe discovered this effect in 1888 and an experiment he carried out was to tie sticks of Dynamite 91/2 lbs (4.3 kg) in weight around an empty tin can and place the assembly, open end down, onto a 41/2" (114.3 mm) thick steel plate. The detonation punched a hole 3" (75mm) in diameter.


The life of a Navy Seal is not easy. Anyone can be in the middle of a war, which life and death clash. Anyone who has been in the military is actually brave ones, just like Brandon Webb Navy Seal. For him, adversity never exists if anyone has the determination to achieve something. The former Navy Seal decided on leaving elite special operations forces for entrepreneurship. During his military life, he had managed a team of snipers and had completed four deployments to the Middle East. See how brave he was? Everyone would probably admire what he had been through. He can be a role model for those who think that poverty is a hindrance to success. He molds his life at an early age without his parents with him. Webb is truly an amazing man of action.
Brandon decided of entering the entrepreneurial life. For him, becoming an entrepreneur is the most challenging mission in his civilian life. By the time he left military service, he had decided of becoming an entrepreneur, which he actually achieved. He is a successful entrepreneur right now. But, just like with the other successful entrepreneurs, Brandon's business was down before. He was not a successful entrepreneur on his first step in the business. He then realized how challenging it was, as if, it can be considered as the most challenging mission in his civilian life. After 13 years of service in the Navy, he started a business. He landed his first venture that fails, he had lost everything, his life, his marriage, and his children.
With these downfalls in his life, he did not give up. What will be the essence of being one of the most notable US military Navy Seal if he gives up? He had passed all the obstacles during his Navy Seal journey, so how about his entrepreneurial life? He had seen a lot of young entrepreneurs who have inspired him the most. For him, when choosing partners, considered it as a long-term relationship. With that failure on the first venture, he was then advised by his lawyer reminding him about the difference between failing and quitting. Brandon is a man of no fear when it comes to anything, aside from his family. He fears his family to get lost, but not with anything. So, Brandon took a day job in San Diego at a defense company. He had rebuilt his life savings and started blogging. He had started blogging making it as a business.

The Jimmy Stephans - Teen Glamour Project was a glamour photography endeavor publishing from July 2001 to July 2013. The artistic goal of the project was to locate high school age girls that aspired to be bikini models in the Swimsuit Issue or a Victoria's Secret Angel, then, using make-up and photography techniques, to transform the young ladies into models of that type, even if they happen to be shorter, younger, or lack modeling experience.
Over the years we employed 200 models in the 13-17 age range at my Colorado and Florida studios, as well as traveling approximately 95,000 miles to produce photo & video imagery on locations outside the studio, including multiple visits to Laguna Beach, California; Miami Beach, Florida; St. Pete Beach, Florida; Oahu, Hawaii and the United States Virgin Islands.
The project produced over 12,000 photographs, 400 short videos, and 26 mini-movies (DVD or Blu-Ray), all of which are now on file at the United States Copyright Office and the Library of Congress.
I'm semi-retired, but continue to participate in a few glamour model / glamour photography projects, both for my own company and in partnership with others. Friends and strangers are welcome reach out using the information on the Contact Info page.

There are many games that put you as the hero that saves the world. Plague Inc. is the opposite. The goal is simple: Kill off humanity. You start off as a bacteria or virus that starts to spread around the world. As more people become infected you begin to evolve into a more infectious and deadly disease.
Sooner or later the world will catch onto you and start developing a cure. They'll try slowing you down by closing down their airports, shipping lanes and even their boarders. You can slow down their development of a cure in a few ways. The riskier route would be to develop more deadly properties so the countries that are working on the cure become barren wastelands. A more subtle approach would have you developing drug resistances to slow down the cure.
Plague Inc. is all about strategy and your approach to creating a worldwide pandemic. You want to spread around the world quickly but not so fast as to get noticed and you want your disease to kill everyone but not so fast that an infected person dies before spreading it to others. Once you start unlocking other types of diseases such as virus or fungal infections your strategy changes as well. Fungal infections for instance, have a hard time spreading long distances and you must rely on spore bursts to spread throughout the region.
A good portion of the fun is naming your disease. I know it doesn't sound very exciting or interesting, but when you get updates like "Stupidity has gone global" you can't help but smile. There are also a lot of fun achievements such as 'Oops' where you combine diarrhea with sneezing. Overall the game is fun to play and is a great way to kill time and humanity. Can you craft a plague that wipes out civilization? Try now by downloading Plague Inc. via Google Play or Apple's AppStore.

In 1967, after completing Which Road?, a pen and ink drawing, I declared myself an artist. I was 16. My home environment felt very special because most of the paintings in our home were created by family members.
In 1974, I received a B.S. in Chemistry from UC Riverside. During 1976–1978, I was a Peace Corps volunteer teaching Chemistry in Kenya. My water color skills improved as I captured new and exciting subjects in Africa. At the end of my assignment, I completed my around the world trip by traveling through Asia to San Francisco.
I was now keen on pursuing an art career. I studied Illustration at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco and worked as an analytical chemist. Eventually, I was all-in with Chemistry and received a Masters in Chemistry from San Francisco State University in 1988. For the next 24 years, I worked in the analytical chemistry and computer software fields.
In 2013, I retired and my loving wife, Winnie, suggested I build an art studio for our mutual use. I finished the studio by the end of 2013. Now, I enjoy pursuing artistic expression.
I seek my ever increasing ability to observe clearly and record impressions accurately. My ability to visualize abstract concepts helps me achieve a unique artistic result.

Berry Gordy was a man with a mission: he wanted to prove that a black-owned record company could be as big and successful as any other business in the music industry. But was this spectacularly successful capitalist only interested in profit? Certainly, Gordy proved that black songwriters and artists deserved a place at the top of the pop pantheon. He proved that a record label could develop a specific sound and score hit after hit. He proved that soul music could remain eternally youthful and popular. But his contribution to African-American history was not purely symbolic. He also made a positive contribution. It took him some time to do it, and he worried that it would harm the commercial side of his enterprise, but in 1970 he launched Black Forum, a label designed to put the civil-rights era on vinyl; a permanent record (literally) of the black struggle.
Black Forum opened its account with an album of a speech from the late Dr Martin Luther King, Jr, Why I Oppose The War In Vietnam, recorded in April 1967 at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, Atlanta. With a striking drawing on the sleeve depicting a stern Dr King in front of black soldiers, and the words "Black Forum" displayed prominently on the right (a design feature maintained for the imprint's first three releases), it left prospective buyers in no doubt about what they'd be getting. The album won a Grammy Award in 1971 for Best Spoken Word Album – Motown's only winner that year and only the parent company's second Grammy ever (after The Temptations scored their first). It's good to attract attention early, but in terms of profile, the award marked Black Forum's peak.


You become what you eat and must be in charge of your health! These are true stories of people who have taken Ahbonbon's advice to improve their own health and fitness. They represent everyday people and they could be you or your loved ones.
A good healthy life is possible!
Helen is a 25-year-old homemaker and a mother of two beautiful girls from Denver, Colorado. After burying her 50-year-old mother, who died from cancer, Helen is determined that she is not going to be another cancer victim. This made her realize that she needs to pay more attention to her grocery shopping by reading food labels and avoiding foods contaminated with chemicals and pesticides. For Helen, it is as simple as understanding the meaning of food labels and identifying food toxins. She no longer assumes that if the labels say "healthy", the foods are truly healthy. The word "healthy" now has a new meaning to her. Helen feels relieved and hopeful. She is now more aware of the food ingredients she feeds her family.
Lisa is a 50-year-old busy executive from New York who has always been on the run and never made time to prepare meals. For ten years, her meals and snacks consisted of microwave dinners and popcorn. Then, her thyroid inflated to the size of a golf ball, filled with brown fluid, and stopped functioning. Her doctor placed her on a daily thyroid medication for life. Lisa discovered that the perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) compound found in the nonstick lining of pots and pans, microwave meal trays, and popcorn bags causes cancer and thyroid disease. She stopped consuming the foods that came in these packages or cooked in nonstick pots and pans. Lisa began preparing meals from scratch once a week and freezing small portions in glass containers to eat throughout the week. Today, her thyroid is healthy, and her doctor has taken her off the thyroid medication permanently.
Adam is a 30-year-old information technology manager for a large corporation in Chicago, Illinois. Being single, Adam never cooks but consumes only healthy foods, which include take-out or restaurant meals. Adam was not aware that his so-called "healthy diet" was a major contributor to his high cholesterol. Although he seemed to eat healthy food by staying away from red meat, milk, and butter, he was actually worsening his bad cholesterol by consuming foods that contain an alarming amount of hidden trans fats, exceeding ten grams daily. If he continued this trend, he would have become part of the statistics of heart attack related deaths. Adam's doctor gave him a prescription drug to treat his high-cholesterol problem, but the real cause was hidden toxins in his foods: trans fats. Before reading about trans fats, Adam lived in day-to-day fear of a heart attack. Today, for the first time, Adam feels that he is in control of his own life. He is even thinking about getting married and starting a family.
Susan is a 60-year-old widow living in Southern California who has been struggling with weight-loss problems. She worked out regularly and only ate low-calorie diet foods. She would buy frozen dinners under 350 calories, but she could not figure out why she constantly had allergies and was still fifty pounds overweight. She thought she was doing everything right by following the diet regimen that was supposed to help her lose weight. However, she did not realize that she was consuming foods loaded with hidden toxins that cause health problems and weight gain. She was frustrated because she could not find a real solution to her problems. After following the advice from Ahbonbon, Susan has finally restored her health. Today, she looks ten years younger than her age, feels great about herself, and is dating a younger man.
Age is only a number. If you take good care of your body, you will live a healthier, good-quality life!


An actress is risking her life for 'eternal youth' by injecting herself with doses of a 3.5 million year-old bacteria discovered in Siberia.
The 45-year-old from Munich, Germany, who goes by the moniker Manoush, has been pumping an extract of Bacillus F into her blood stream for the past three months and says it has made her look and feel younger.
The ancient bacteria was discovered in the permafrost of north-west Russia by scientists in 2009 and some have hailed it a 'scientific sensation'.
The team, who unlocked its DNA code in 2015, say that unlike most cells in nature, Bacillus F shows no signs of aging and believe it could hold the key to unlocking improved human health and longevity.
Samples containing extracts of the bacteria have been given to Manoush by Doctor Anatoli Brouchkov, head of the Geocryology Department at Moscow State University.
The injections are just the latest in a longline of procedures for mother-of-one Manoush who has already spent £36,800 (€41,700) on plastic surgery over the last 20 years.
"My skin is as soft as a baby's bottom," she said. "You can't really see it in the photos but if you see me in person you can see there are no marks or blemishes.
"I have never felt better. I have never slept better, deeper or longer. When I work out I can workout longer. I can run three miles instead of the usual two miles.
She added: 'This summer we had huge temperature changes and normally I would get a cold. I didn't this time.
Manoush, had blood tests taken before she started injecting Bacillus F on July 22, so that they can be analysed along with blood samples she's having each month.
The sample was given to her by Doctor Anatoli Brouchkov, head of the Geocryology Department at Moscow State University, at a meeting in London.
As the procedure is experimental, no doctor would inject her, and would most likely lose their license.
Instead she performed the procedure herself, with friends and a local doctor there for support in case of an emergency.
Manoush, who has appeared in niche horror movies such as Cannibal and Seed 2, said: "Dr Brouchkov has been taking this for years now and he has fabulous skin, like a young man. He is doing me a big favour, he is doing science a favour. I am happy to be a part of this.
'My family is absolutely against this. They are going up and down the wall about this. They refuse to have anything to do with it.
"Sometimes I look in the mirror and think I am a freak – but I know what I am doing to myself. This is all planned and I am not planning on stopping.
"Some people can't accept that for me when it comes to anti-aging there are no limits.
"This is not going to make me 20 years younger. But I think it will help me live to 80 or 90 and age as disgracefully as I can in artificial health and beauty.

What age should I be to travel as part of a group?
Group travel is often associated with the words "fun", "young", "70+" and "single". Think about it and imagine for one moment that your best friend is telling you "you know what, I decided to go on a group travel!". The typical answers you would reply at this moment would be something like "But are you not going to be surrounded with post-teenagers only thinking about parties" or "Are you not worried to be bored and surrounded with elderly people?".
The truth is that group travel is often associated with young people going on party trips or retired cruise type of travels where you gently follow the guide from place to place. And the reason for this is that up to now the market was full of travel companies targeting this age range. Group tours were either advertising fun and adventurous holidays or quiet and safe places with a fixed menu every day.
Now the good news is: this is no longer the case! The industry is changing and finally caters for the age bracket in between. So you can perfectly be 32, 46 or 59, go on a group travel, and have a fantastic time. You even do not have to be single anymore. So if hubby is too busy or has no intention to spend a week at a Yoga retreat, do not hesitate any longer and go for it! You can enjoy a wonderful time with other like-minded women that will focus on making genuine connections and friendships and will be interested in the same kind of trip.
Tour operators now cater for a variety of trips in many different destinations, so finding your ideal type of holiday should not be a hassle anymore. So whether you are more into hiking in Madeira, horse-riding in India, lying on the beach on an island in Mexico or going on a city trip to Budapest, you can do that with other travellers around your age as well.
Group travels is slowly changing nowadays in our society and people are becoming more open-minded to the idea of sharing a trip with unknown people, as long as they feel they can connect with those people and belong to a certain age bracket. So Girls on Travel, make sure you chose the right tour operator providing the kind of travels you wish to go for and connect with amazing other people like you!

"We talked about it [making Classic] for a number of years and we couldn't figure out what the right way to do it would be," Brack explained. "The problem was, the codebase that shipped with WoW and encompassed the WoW Classic timeline was a codebase that we had really moved on from in subsequent years. Software is a very iterative process, and its development was more than 10 years in the past at this point. So thinking about the hardware that didn't exist anymore that we would need to run on it, running two MMOs simultaneously with two different toolsets, two different toolchains, it was not something we could really get our head around."
All the work we're doing will ultimately allow us to recreate an authentic classic experience on a platform that is much more optimized and stable, helping us avoid latency and stability issues. Additional improvements will include modern anti-cheat/botting detection, customer service and Battle.net integration, and similar conveniences that do not affect the core gameplay experience.
That's not to say that everyone has an unrealistic vision of what vanilla WoW was like. There were already plenty of people on the WoW Classic forums pointing out that perceived bugs are just recreations of the original game. And as noted before, a flaw to one player is a key component of the original positive experience to another. WoW Classic will surely please plenty of purists in spades. But this goes to show that it won't be for everyone who has fond memories of the game circa 2006.

Rajapaksa misses Commonwealth Games opening amid protests
Rajapaksa misses Commonwealth Games opening amid protests | Tamil Guardian
The Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa skipped the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow today, AFP reported citing the presidential office, as protests against his attendance and chairmanship of the Commonwealth are scheduled to take place.
However, the president's spokesperson, Mohan Samaranayake, later denied that his non-attendance was due to protests.
"No such visit was scheduled," Samaranayake told AFP.
Canada recently withdrew its funding of the Commonwealth, over Rajapaksa's position as chair of the Commonwealth following Sri Lanka's hosting of the Commonwealth Heads of Government summit last November.
The decision to host the summit in Colombo, despite the mass killing of tens of thousands of Tamils by state security forces as well as on-going violations of human rights, received widespread international criticism.
Rajapaksa's previous visits to the UK, have been overshadowed by mass protests by British Tamils.

Iraq: Get a Grip, Tread Carefully
June 16, 2014 Wayne White 2 Comments
by Wayne White
Coverage of the Iraqi crisis from the media to Capitol Hill has been characterized by scary worst-case scenarios and exaggerations of the military capabilities of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIL or ISIS). Yet this Islamic extremist group has probably already seized most of the important Iraqi real estate it is going to get. It is vital for the US to avoid simply doing Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's sectarian dirty work for him and returning Iraq to its previously miserably unbalanced status quo. Under the circumstances, however, avoiding that misstep poses daunting challenges.
The successes of ISIS in Iraq do represent a dicey problem for Iraqi authorities in Baghdad and the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) in the north. ISIS now commands the majority of Iraq's Sunni Arab heartland as well as a large swathe of mixed ethno-sectarian areas, albeit those with substantial Sunni Arab populations. However, very little territory remains outside ISIS' current holdings where a Sunni Arab extremist movement would be received with open arms or even passive resignation.
Collapse of dysfunctional army units
Admittedly, the performance of Iraqi Army units assigned to Sunni Arab areas like Mosul has been dismal. Retreating in the face of a few thousand lightly armed militants largely without a fight would have been bad enough. However, the loss of all cohesion, mass desertion, and the abandonment of valuable armaments, ammunition, and equipment compounded the collapse and gave additional advantages to ISIS.
These events revealed just how badly crippling internal problems have undermined the Iraqi Army. This has been especially so since Iraq's dominant Shia establishment made it effectively impossible for American military advisors and trainers to remain in Iraq beyond the US withdrawal in 2011.
Throughout the ranks, the army has suffered from a high degree of politicized, sectarian, or bribe-generated appointments and promotions, debilitating corruption, and a severe lack of intelligence concerning Sunni Arab areas of the country. Its political favoritism and corruption appear to exceed what prevailed during the Saddam Hussein era. The units that collapsed apparently had no clue ISIS was about to attack Mosul. There have also been suggestions that self-serving unit commanders were more concerned about their personal safety than rallying their troops.
Tamping down the panic
As I noted on June 11, Maliki and his cronies woefully underestimated Sunni Arab tolerance for and potential pushback against years of exclusion and abuse. Now, however, a stunned and reeling Iraqi government probably is overestimating ISIS. Correspondingly, in the wake of its run of unexpectedly easy successes, ISIS might well be returning the favor by underestimating Iraqi Army units and militias in Baghdad.
In any upcoming fighting in Baghdad and the south, ISIS would be far more vastly outnumbered than it was in Mosul and likely to encounter armed Shia elements mustering quite a bit of fanaticism of their own. Only one portion of the army was routed in the north; a city many times the size of Mosul would be a huge mouthful for so small a force of ISIS fighters; and Iranian combatants could very well join the fight.
Moreover, despite Senator Lindsey Graham's comment yesterday that the US "should have discussions with Iran" about the Iraq crisis, this may be irrelevant. Whether talks occur or not, Tehran, already closely aligned with the present Iraqi government, will likely act as it sees fit in Iraq to serve Iranian interests — regardless of US views on the matter.
Finally, if, as expected, the US commences air strikes, ISIS' task of moving farther south would be that much more daunting. Near the top of the target list of those anticipated US air (and drone) strikes should be major pieces of military equipment seized by ISIS in the north. That would prevent ISIS from deploying them over the border into Syria (already in progress) or putting them to use in its upcoming clashes with Iraqi government forces.
Homeland imperiled by ISIS gains?
Those harping on ISIS' "threat to the Homeland" are exaggerating that aspect of the problem. Since adopting the ISIS moniker in April 2013, and during operations by its antecedents since January 2012 in Syria (and going back 10 years in Iraq), ISIS has posed little threat to US interests outside Syria and Iraq.
Of late, its efforts have been consumed by its struggle to overthrow the Assad regime in Syria, combat moderate and other Islamist rebel rivals in Syria, and recently moving against the Iraqi government. There is a threat to the US to consider, but that is likely to emerge further down the line (but, ironically, could be heightened by US air strikes against ISIS in defense of Maliki & Co.)
One potential direct threat to the US that has also existed as part of the Syrian rebellion since 2012 is that of numerous US and other Western European citizens fighting with ISIS and the extremist al-Nusra Front. The prospect of those militants entering the US at some point (US visa requirements are typically waived for Western Europeans) does pose a threat. That threat is magnified by the difficulty Western intelligence and law enforcement agencies have had in gathering precise data on the identities of such individuals.
Trying to harness the Maliki government
Extracting substantial change in the Iraqi government's abusive behavior toward its Sunni Arab community poses an extremely tough challenge for US policymakers. Holding back US air and other military support to secure this agreement could render getting assurances the easiest part of this endeavor.
If substantial portions of Sunni Arab Iraq were recovered from ISIS, it is difficult to envision how Iraqi government compliance with a more tolerant policy could be monitored reliably. And accountability is critical; Maliki has broken such pledges before. In fact, it would be best all-round if Maliki could be dumped as prime minister in the ongoing negotiations to form Iraq's post-election government, but there are no indications that his Shia backers would cooperate.
Further complicating this crucial issue, the upcoming mainly sectarian face-off will inevitably result in atrocities on both sides. Already, ISIS has claimed and videoed its execution of large numbers of captured Iraqi soldiers, inflaming the atmosphere. The recruitment of Shia volunteers (with many hardened Shia militiamen undoubtedly among them) along with the possible employment of elite Quds Force cadres from Iran has also been reducing Baghdad's control over the behavior of its own combatants.
Atrocities will undermine the ability of even a well-intentioned government in fielding a policy of communal toleration. Even worse, instead of a fast-paced government campaign to drive ISIS out of most of its Iraqi holdings, portions of the coming fight might resemble the more prolonged and grueling 2003-08 US-Iraqi struggle against the Sunni Arab insurgency and ruthless Shia militias.
Sorting out a workable way to thread this complex needle toward a new Iraqi national sectarian compact should be as high a priority for the Obama administration as military measures meant to defeat ISIS. The international community could perhaps be drawn into the task of monitoring Baghdad's compliance in the coming years. Still, preventing a return to pre-crisis sectarian hostility is likely to be as difficult as the immediate military task of containing and rolling back ISIS — if not more.

The old plan of US-Israel to break up Iraq is back at the front. While Obama is thinking about what to do, the country is been divided , just like Syria has been.
Israel can rejoice, there are no more Arab armies they need to worry about. They have all been weakened or destroyed.
I would be surprised if Obama intervenes at all. Drones or not, he wants to please the Saudis who have applauded the 'revolution' and would love to see a Wahhabi state within Iraq that they could feed with their ideology and money. The insurgents are 100% funded by Gulf private entities who are not overlooked by their government.
Qatar and Saudi Arabia are now reassuring the US administration that these so called terrorists are harmless and that they can be easily tamed. The areas in Iraq they have occupied can easily become a haven for Sunnis 'oppressed' by the Shia dominated government.
While happy with the possibility of becoming a country, the Kurds are the ones who will object to have an Islamist wahhabi neighbor. While the Shias want to protect their holies cities, the Kurds want to protect their oil fields and their pipelines to Turkey.
The Turks do not want the breakup of Iraq because it will mean that Kurdistan will become a country and that could lure their own kurdish citizens to want to merge with it.
Therefore we have on one side Iran, the central Iraqi government, Syria, Turkey (and Jordan) who want to stop the Islamists so as to prevent the breakup of Irak. On the other side we have Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the USA, Israel who would not mind seeing Iraq breakup as long as the islamists are kept under control, unless they attack US intererest in the region. Until now they haven' so Obama will stay put and let the iraqis kill each other while Navy Pillay will repeat that these a re 'war crimes'
The Moslem Brotherhood lost the Arab Spring, will the West and their Arab allies let the Takfiris win it?
Here we go again. Out with the old, in with the new. One has to ask/wonder, if all this hasn't been in the works by the various players? I don't just mean the ISIS or ISIL, but everyone. One thing is for sure, who ever the planners be, they sure don't rate as professionals, but rank pseudos, IMHO.

The New Testament makes it clear that Christians are to be thoughtful, cogitative people. The apostle Paul carefully reasoned with others in presenting the gospel (Acts 17:2). The apostle Peter states that we should give a proper defense of the faith (1 Peter 3:15). This includes (1) a knowledge of the subject matter, (2) knowing how to present it effectively, and (3) anticipating potential objections.
The desperate need for critical thinking can be illustrated in any five minutes of a news program. Interviewees often cannot give a straight answer to questions posed to them. At times, their arguments are weak or emotionally-driven. Unchallenged diversions, deflections, and equivocations are commonplace. People can make themselves look incredibly foolish simply by not paying attention to how they structure their arguments. Some–especially politicians, as we have seen in the last few years–cleverly dodge difficult questions and offer silky smooth answers that do not answer the questions posed to them. This may be true in politics, but it is especially true in the realm of religion.
"Everything is relative." Do you realize that's an absolute statement?
"There is no such thing as absolute truth." Do you realize that's another absolute statement?
"All truth is relative." Third time's a charm.
"We can't know anything for certain." Really? You seem quite certain.
"Nothing can be known." How do you know?
"It is arrogant to think that you can know the truth with certainty." You seem pretty confident in saying that.
"Christianity might be true for you, but it isn't true for everyone." Is your relativism true only for you, or do you think it's true for everyone?
"God is indescribable." Umm, that IS a description.
"Only scientific arguments are valid." That's a philosophical statement.
"There is no such thing as propositional truth." You just gave an example of it.
"Only knowledge that is empirically verifiable can be considered true." Can you verify that statement empirically?
"We have to doubt all truth claims." Did you doubt that one?
"You shouldn't judge." That sounds like a judgment.
"That's just your opinion." No, it's your opinion that this is my opinion.
"It's arrogant to tell someone else that they're wrong." Aren't you doing exactly that?
"You should be tolerant of all views." You clearly aren't tolerating mine.
"You can't force your views on others." In other words, I can totally ignore you.
It isn't always easy spotting errors in thinking when they appear. Sometimes they're sneaky. And sometimes we hear something so often that it just "sounds right." Since current educational models often value social skills over critical thinking skills, it isn't a great surprise that many people routinely include blatant contradictions and self-refuting statements in everyday language.


Are Coupons Just a Ploy to Buy More Products?
Is it worth the time and effort to use coupons, or are they just a waste of time and a ploy to get you to buy things?
Coupons are definitely a ploy to entice you to buy something you may not have purchased otherwise. But that doesn't mean they're bad things. The practical and sensible application of coupons can definitely help you save money.
The main things to watch out for when using coupons are overbuying and spending your money on things you don't really need. Seriously, you don't need to hit Sam's or Costco and walk out with nine gallons of mustard. I've even heard of people buying things they know they don't like just because it was on sale or they had a coupon. I mean, how dumb is that?
I guess there is a time factor involved in collecting coupons, especially if you still like to clip them from the newspapers or flyers that come in the mail. Plenty of folks still do that every week. I think online coupons are a lot easier to search for and save though. There's a company I love called eMeals that will work with you to plan recipes and also give you information on coupons and sales in your area to make the meals.
I'm definitely not anti-coupon, but at the same time couponing alone won't change your family tree. It's like any other tool. If used in a smart way, it can help you save money. And that's not a bad thing!
What's the best way to save or use money given to a baby as a birthday present?
I think it depends on your financial situation along with your plans and goals. If you're at a place where you can't afford necessities, then there's absolutely nothing wrong with using birthday money for food, diapers or clothes. That's not a fun answer, but sometimes you have to do whatever it takes to properly care for your family.
If money isn't a big issue though, you're left with figuring out a plan. In our case, we invested lots of it toward their college funds. Then we taught them to save for other things themselves. For instance, we didn't buy any of our kids their first cars. But we did agree to match whatever they saved when it came to this purchase.
There's also nothing wrong with just setting up a simple savings account and watching it grow. As they get older, you can involve them in the process and begin to teach them about the three uses for money: spending, saving and giving. And if you start something like this when they're really little, chances are they'll already have a nice pile of money already stashed away when they become old enough for those teachable moments.
The point is to have a plan. Once you have a definite idea in mind, it's a lot easier to achieve the goal!

Meizu PRO 6 Review Part I: The Galaxy iPhone Missing Link
By Chris Burns/April 28, 2016 3:51 pm EST
We have a smartphone here that exists in the space between the top two mobile device makers in the world: Samsung and Apple. This is the Meizu PRO 6, a device whose hardware and software find themselves at a point near smartphone singularity – where all of the most high-end smartphone details meet. This is a cross-breed if ever we have seen one. At the same time, the PRO 6 is indeed a pretty great phone in its own right.
Today we're doing this close-up look in lieu of a proper "unboxing" article. Not that we do those that often anymore, but here we're getting up close and personal with a device that could very easily be mistaken for either an iPhone 6 or a Samsung Galaxy S6.
No trouble at all.
Sure, it's missing a Samsung logo up front.
Sure, on its back it has a big ol' Meizu logo.
But look:
Notice the glass is curved around the edges and sits just up above the metal side. On the left you've got the PRO 6, on the right you've got the iPhone 6s. The Samsung Galaxy S6 is there too – see a button shape similarity or two?
In the volume button department, the PRO 6 keeps it a little bit more unique. Away from either of the other phones we're looking at today, anyway.
The volume button sits on the right side of the phone right near the power button and exists as a rocker rather than two separate buttons. Both the Galaxy S6 (and 7) and iPhone 6 (and 6S) have their separate volume buttons on the left.
The PRO 6, iPhone, and Galaxy smartphones each hold their own when it comes to back-facing camera designs. Samsung has a centered lens like the PRO 6, but the PRO 6's design is far more flat – closer to absolutely flat than even the Galaxy S7 ends up being.
The iPhone, meanwhile, has its camera in the upper left-hand corner of its back, as always.
The software on this smartphone is called Flyme – it's based on Android 6.0 at this point and runs Meizu's own app store. One feature we'd like to point out specifically here is what Meizu calls "3D Press". It has EXTREMELY similar functionality to that of Apple's "3D Touch".
Meizu's 3D Press also looks VERY, VERY similar in its software implementation to Apple's 3D Touch. Highly, highly similar.
Unless you knew the specific details of any of these devices extremely well, you might not be able to pick one of them out of a lineup with the other two.
For example the following photos:
1. Which device is this?
2. How about these two here, two together?
3. And another – which is this?
4. And this one?
5. Here's an easy one – which is this?
6. One more – we've not mentioned this phone yet in this article at all. Imagine that!
After you've figured them all out, have a peek at a history lesson on HTC vs Apple design and how their newest phones have come to look strikingly similar.
Below you'll see the HTC One A9 and the iPhone 6.
Have we reached Smartphone Singularity yet?
Or have we got a ways to go before we get there?
Stay tuned for the rest of our Meizu PRO 6 Review action here on SlashGear's Meizu tag portal now that we've got this "it looks like X" business cleared out of the way!


Our first stop on our grand European adventure was a one-week stay in London with my family. The main motivation for this family trip was to see my brother Ben march in the London New Year's Day Parade with his high school marching band, but we turned it into a a week packed full of amazing experiences. My husband and I have been to London before (click here, here, and here for the details and travel tips!), but we made sure to do many things that we didn't get the chance to do on our first visit. I've underlined anything that I consider a "must-do" below.
On the day of our departure for London, there were major delays from the Dallas-Fort Worth airport due to a large rain storm which came right before the tornadoes and snow storm hit Texas. We were lucky that we arrived in London during the morning as we were scheduled to despite a two hour delay. My family came along after us in another plane, and they were delayed much more than we were. So, instead of waiting in the airport for them as originally planned, we found our way on the Tube to our Homeaway rental for the week. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).


Inside the Ida Grove Skate Palace, the politicians were peppered with questions from about 100 Iowa voters. Before the forum, the candidates told us what issue is most important to them.
"Jobs and economy," said State Senator Joni Ernst.
"Balancing the budget," answered former State Attorney Matt Whitaker.
"Grow the economy," said Dr. Sam Clovis.
With an ever growing list of Republican candidates the biggest challenge, right now, may be standing out in a crowded field. "I am certainly not the status quo, and I won't represent the status quo. The American people are sick of that, and they want real change, by real people, who will do things that will really change this country and get it back on track," Clovis said.


Daulatmangal fort is believe to be built during Yadav dynasty. Area of the fort is not as large as that of other sahyadri forts. All the fortification on the fort has been destroyed except remnants of a entry bastion and another door like structure.
The famous thing on this fort is temple of Bhuleshwar. It is the Lord Shiva temple, built in 1200AD.
What would be a superb architecture during its glorious days! All the sculptures are now in very bad shape because Aurangzeb's army destroyed all the Hindu temples along with its sculptures.
It is 47Km from Pune. You can reach wither by Solapur highway or via Saswad.
I) Pune- Hadapsar-Loni Kalbhor-Uruali Kanchan- Yawat(Just before Yawat city , you need to take right turn from the highway. You can ask directions for Bhuleshwar. It is 8 Km from Yawat. Road condition is quite good and it is shortest possible route from Pune.
II) Pune-Hadapsar-Saswad-Pargaon Memane-Pisarve-Bhuleshwar. This route is longer than previous one. Route is single lane throughout.
Fort Kamalgad is situated in Wai taluka.
You need to first reach Wai. Wai is situated on the route to Mahabaleshwar.
Pune to Wai distance is 92Km via Bangalore highway. Base village Tupewadi is 32 Km from Wai.
You need to catch bus going towards Vasole via Jambhali road. This route is utterly scenic during monsoons. Enroute you can see Pandavgad, Kenjalgad and Raireshwar plateau.
It will be good if you have private vehicle as frequency of the buses is very poor.
Pune-Shirval-Khambatki ghat-Wai(You need to take right turn from the highway)-Follow Menwli road from the Wai city-after Wadoli take left turn though a small bridge on Dhom dam backwater-Washivali-Vasole and finally to Tupewadi.
Trek route to fort is well trodden initially. As you gradually start ascending towards col between a hill and Kamlgad fort, many cattle route emerges out. It is advisable to confirm your directions with local people or shephards. One key is never try to take traverse which goes on descending. Always follow the ascending direction. Once you reach the col, take left turn and follow the Kamalgad fort route.
Once you reach on fort , you can see temple of Gorakshnath.Follow the route left side route. After walking 10 minutes you will reach to small plateau where a shepahard lives with family. You can ask about the route to highest point of fort.
Rocky surface of this highest point has kavechi (Geru) vihir(well). Not a single structure is left on fort.
