Elsa Hosk, Lily Aldridge, and Stella Maxwell share their advice for staying body-positive—even when you're feeling insecure.
By Lindsey Lanquist
Even Victoria's Secret Angels aren't confident 100 percent of the time. I'm serious—everyone has their bad days, and supermodels are no exception. Three Victoria's Secret models—Elsa Hosk, Lily Aldridge, and Stella Maxwell—opened up about their insecurities at a recent VS product launch event. And while they were at it, the models made sure to offer some advice on how to shut down those pesky little uncertainties. So yes, you can now fight your inner demons like a Victoria's Secret model. Consider this your initiation into model-hood.
Elsa Hosk says: Don't sweat the small stuff.
Hosk fully understands how real period struggles are. "A lot of times I wake up and I tell my boyfriend, 'Babe, the last thing I want to do right now is shoot lingerie, I had pizza last night, I'm on my fucking period, I just don't want to go in front of the camera right now,'" she said. But that doesn't keep her from getting the job done. So, she said, don't stress about it. "Honestly, when you're exposed in lingerie all the time, you have to find a way to quickly get comfortable with your body," Hosk said. "I've just learned that when I have an imperfect day, it's not going to help me to stress about it."
Lily Aldridge says: Find friends who help you feel confident.
For Lily Aldridge, finding confidence lies in her VS sisterhood. "It's so great to be with the other girls," she said. "We all support each other and bring each other up, and I think it's so important to have women around you that make you feel good about yourself." While we might not all consider our co-workers to be our sisters, there's definitely truth in what Aldridge is saying. It's important to surround yourself with people who lift you up and celebrate your accomplishments—even on your off days.
Stella Maxwell says: Wear Victoria's Secret.
"No matter if you have bigger boobs, smaller boobs...Victoria's Secret has a bra for every size, every shape," she said. "And that's the essential part about this collection. It works for every different kind of body." And Maxwell makes a good point: Feeling sexy is about feeling comfortable, and feeling comfortable has to do with wearing clothes that fit you right. Plus, it doesn't hurt for your lingerie to have a little of that sexy VS flair.
So next time you find yourself having a bad day—or, you know, needing to strip down in front of a camera—try some of these VS-approved body positivity hacks. Maybe, just maybe, channeling your inner Lily Aldridge will help you feel a little more beautiful. Because guess what: You are.

Back from his controversial trip to Iraq, Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Calif., talks about his concern over a unilateral strike against Saddam.
In some ways, the presence of Rep. Mike Thomspon, D-Calif., among the other congressmen who went to Baghdad last week made no sense. The two other members on the trip pretty much have their political careers mapped out for them. Rep. David Bonior, D-Mich., is retiring this year. And Rep. James McDermott, D-Wash., can be reelected from his liberal Seattle district for as long as he wants.
But Thompson is different. A relative newcomer to Congress (he was elected in 1998), the popular, moderate Thompson is, ideologically, far more conservative than either Bonior or McDermott. This became evident when Thompson struggled to distance himself from McDermott's comments in a CNN interview from Baghdad, when McDermott said he believed "the president would mislead the American public" about the threat Saddam Hussein posed to the United States. Upon their return, the three were scheduled to hold a joint news conference Wednesday, but Thompson opted out.
McDermott's comments engulfed the Baghdad trip in controversy, and led Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., to say of McDermott, "He needs to come home and keep his mouth shut."
In an interview with Salon Thursday, Thompson, a Vietnam veteran who received a Purple Heart, seemed embarrassed by McDermott's comments, but unapologetic for his decision to go to Iraq.
What were your reasons for wanting to go to Iraq now?
I tagged on to this trip that two of my colleagues had lined up. And when I heard about it, I asked if I could join them, and they agreed to let me go. I wanted to go for a couple of reasons. One: I wanted to see the area up close and personal. It's probably the most significant vote we're going to cast, at least in the four years I've been in Congress. Bigger than that, this is a very radical shift in 200 years of constitutional democracy, of international law, of foreign policy doctrine. And more important than that, if we end up deploying combat troops over there, American soldiers are going to get killed. And I think that's pretty serious. I also felt if there was anything at all that I could say that would help to prevent or avert a war, I wanted to do that. My message to the government of Iraq was, the ball's in Saddam Hussein's court, and if he wants to prevent war, he's going to have to allow the inspectors in with unrestricted, unfettered access. Nothing short of that is going to keep the troops out.
What kinds of things did you do while you were there?
I met with a lot of government officials and delivered that message. I went around Baghdad, and got a sense of that community, and exactly how difficult it's going to be to fight an urban war in that city, in that environment. I was able to talk to a lot of people. I wanted to assess the human infrastructure. If we go in there, we're going to be there for a long time. I don't know how you go in and do it without figuring out who replaces him, is he in fact better than this animal. So, I think it's important to know how the people are going to receive us.
What was your sense of the Iraqi people in your conversations with them?
It strengthened my belief that Saddam Hussein's an evil guy, no question about that.
Do the Iraqi people believe that as well?
I just think it's so beyond their ability to even think about that. First of all, they depend upon him for everything, right down to the food that they eat every day, they get government rations. They're so suffocated by his regime. There's no information coming from outside the country. CNN has an interesting situation there. They have a one-way broadcast. It goes out, but it doesn't come in. I was doing one interview with CNN, and I was being very critical of Saddam Hussein, and about the time I hit the peak of my criticism, lo and behold, the line went dead. Somebody said, "Saddam just pulled the plug." I thought they were kidding, but in retrospect I don't think they were.
People were very, very reluctant to talk. They're scared. A CNN reporter took me down to an area of town where she thought people might be willing to talk to me. I got one guy in a store who was kind of getting comfortable talking to me, and the police came in. And I don't think it was coincidental. They really, really suppress those guys.
I met a woman who worked in the gift shop of the hotel where we were staying. She said she was 25 years old, this will be her third war. The only hope is the bomb doesn't hit her house, and if it doesn't she'll get up in the morning and go to work. It was quite depressing to hear how so many people had resigned themselves to that, because their living conditions are already so terrible. Health care is poor, education system's poor, sanitation's poor. It's a perfect petri dish for breeding terrorists. That's the whole deal in that part of the world. If we don't figure out how to break that cycle, and give people some hope, we're always going to be fighting terrorism.
I think it's appalling that a dictator who is the head of a country that's so rich in natural resources is doing what he's doing -- to prevent that resource from being used to help his people.
Did you get any sense of how Americans, or the U.S. government, are perceived by the people of Iraq?
There didn't seem to be animosity. There was a great interest among the people we met while we were there. Nobody said anything negative about me, or the government. We heard a lot of talk about hoping to prevent this war. There was a sense that maybe there was some way around this. In the airport in Jordan, on the way back, I had two or three people come up to me and say, "Hey, I really want to thank you." I said "For what?" and they said, "We know why you're here. We know you're trying to get the message to Hussein to let in the inspectors, that you want to prevent war." It would be incredibly destabilizing for the entire region, it would hurt Jordan, and plus, it elevates the possibility of nuclear war, and people are very worried about that.
Did anything that you saw or heard surprise you while you were there?
I guess just the condition of the country was more than I had anticipated, both in Baghdad and outside. Basra was just unbelievable. The other thing was I didn't really comprehend how suppressed things were. There's just nothing coming in. There's no continuing education for doctors, no continuing education for educators, just nothing.
What did you make of the American reaction to your trip?
I think a lot of it was drummed up. I think there was a real effort to get the radio talk shows to be revving it up. And there are some people who probably have some serious concerns as to why members of Congress would be over there. There were a couple of things done over there that probably didn't help what I wanted to accomplish.
You're referring to Rep. McDermott's comments?
[Long pause.] Let's just leave it at that.
How have your colleagues in Congress responded to you since your return?
I have talked to colleagues more in the last couple of days, trying to respond to their questions over this, some people that I haven't said five words to in four years. That was interesting to me. [California Republican congressman] Richard Pombo and I were on the radio together. He was asked what he thought about my trip. He said, "Hey, I know Mike. I know why he was there. He was there for the right reasons, not the wrong reasons, and it's good he's there." I've got a congressional duty, and to discharge those duties, I've got to have the information that hasn't been brought forward to date.
How much of your desire to go was shaped by your own experiences in Vietnam?
I think a lot. This is a real critical vote. I served in a war that saw 58,000 American boys die in Vietnam. If we go into Baghdad, a whole bunch more are going to die. It seems to me that if any of us can do anything to avert that, it's our responsibility -- it's our duty -- to do that. In the end, it may not work. But I'd have felt I was less than doing my job had I not at least tried.
Will you support the resolution that the White House and Richard Gephardt are supporting?
I suspect that the resolution's going to pass. But I don't think I can vote for the resolution that's before us. I think the more conservative vote is a "No" vote. I just think it's a real radical departure -- from international law, our constitutional democracy. I think to do a preemptive strike without multilateral support is a big, big mistake. No. 1, I think any kind of strike needs to be the last possible option. And No. 2, we really need to do it with multilateral support, and I don't think that's there. I just don't see any immediate danger to the citizens of this country and the people I represent. I've been to all the briefings, I've heard from everybody. I just don't know a lot of guys who are thinking this is the best way to go.

Arcadia defense shines in season-opening football win over La Salle

By The Pasadena Star-News | pasadenastarnews@dfmdev.com |
PASADENA >> The Arcadia High defense ruined the debut of La Salle's two young and rising quarterbacks, sacking them eight times and returning an interception for a touchdown in a season-opening 20-10 win in nonleague play on Friday night.
The Apaches held La Salle to 99 yards of total offense while constantly pressuring sophomore quarterback Chris Wilson and freshman quarterback CJ Montes.
"We played really well (on defense)," Arcadia head coach Andrew Policky said. "We didn't give up any big plays. We tackled well. There's a lot to be happy with it on that side of the ball."
Arcadia's biggest plays on defense came in the fourth quarter. La Salle led 10-7 and was marching downfield with the ball at the Apache 21-yard line. The first of four Arcadia sacks in the quarter made it third-and-15 at the Arcadia 27. On the next play, Rolandiss Whitener leaped and intercepted a pass from Montes. He dashed down the left side for an 86-yard touchdown return that gave Arcadia a 14-10 lead with 9:28 left in the game.
"Touchdown," Whitener replied when asked what he was thinking as soon as he grabbed the ball. "Don't get touched. Nothing. Just score."
Arcadia forced La Salle to punt after a three-and-out on the Lancers' next possession. A botched snap on the punt led to a 0-yard kick that gave Arcadia the ball at the La Salle 30. Arcadia then put the game away when quarterback Max Davila hit Jake Medders in the end zone for a 5-yard touchdown. That gave Arcadia a 20-10 lead with 3:15 left in the game.
While Policky said Arcadia's offense needed to correct mistakes, he was pleased with Davila's effort. Davila completed 11 of 21 passes for 162 yards and two touchdown passes. His first touchdown pass came with 23 seconds left in the second quarter when he hit Frankie Contreras for 25-yard touchdown pass in the end zone to give Arcadia a 7-3 halftime lead.
"(Davila) always plays hard," Policky said. "That's one thing I like about him. He competes. He tucks the ball and runs. He made some big throws with those two touchdown passes. One at the end of the first half and one at the end of the game."
Austin Guerra was Arcadia's leading rusher. He ran the ball 17 times for 62 yards.
Wilson started the game at quarterback for La Salle and played the entire first half. He completed seven of 10 passes for 43 yards. Montes played the entire second half. He completed 11 of 21 passes for 86 yards. Both quarterbacks had some sharp throws but were often forced to make quick throws due to Arcadia's defensive pressure.
The Lancers' only touchdown came to start the third quarter. Jacob McDonough dropped the kickoff at the La Salle 10 but picked it up and raced through a hole in the middle then cut left for a 90-yard touchdown. That put La Salle up 10-7. It was a lead the Lancers would hold until Whitener's interception return early in the fourth quarter.

Employer's Support Of The Society Takes On New Meaning For Survivor
Originally published August 2017.
Cean Laverty
D & D Commodities Ltd. is celebrating 30 years of producing premium food and treats for caged and wild birds, small animals, and other outdoor pets. During that time, they've grown to become an industry leader with product sales and distribution nationwide. While D & D Commodities is a small company based in northern Minnesota that employs fewer than 100 people, they're looking to make a big impact.
Since 2009, D & D Commodities has donated approximately $800,000 to the American Cancer Society's breast cancer efforts through a logo licensure agreement with the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer program. In turn, they've featured the Making Strides logo on their Wild Delight, 3-D Pet Products and Better Bird brands year-round. So when employee Cean Laverty was diagnosed with breast cancer, she soon discovered just how supportive the D & D family would be during a difficult time in her life.
Cean was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2011 at age 50, after spending two years as a caregiver for her mother who was fighting ovarian cancer. When Laverty scheduled her mammogram, it was more than just a doctor's appointment – it was because she made a promise to her mother. "I was 50 and had never had a mammogram – I was well overdue," Cean stated. "My mom saved my life."
After a successful lumpectomy in January 2012, she started radiation only five days after her mom passed away. Cean would undergo 35 rounds of radiation over seven weeks, all while continuing to work full-time at D & D Commodities. "It means the world to me – how much support they gave me," Cean added. "When going through an illness like cancer, everyone worries about job security. All they [D & D Commodities staff] wanted to know was how I was doing. It made me feel more secure."
Cean is now a five-year survivor who advocates early detection and a healthy lifestyle. She's also grateful for the partnership between D & D Commodities and the Society. "I'm very proud that D & D supports the American Cancer Society – you're doing a great job."

Review by Robert Peal
Book Review : Teaching: notes from the front line
A revolution in education is needed, according to Dr Debra Kidd. But like many revolutionaries, she is hazy on what the educational world would look like after she and her followers storm the palaces of the mighty.
Perhaps this is because Kidd and her ilk already inhabit those palaces. Kidd is a teacher of 20 years, but also a PGCE tutor at Manchester Metropolitan University and a consultant for various organisations such as Independent Thinking (which has published her book). Subtitled "notes from the front line", her book is pretty much that, a scattergun list of anecdotes, vendettas, paeans and lamentations. Along the way, she takes on examinations, PISA rankings, Teach First, Ofsted and various other neo-liberal conspiracies.
She starts by declaring that teachers must "take control of the direction of education policy" and calls for further professional "activism". However, she either ignores or dismisses the many instances where this is already taking place. Kidd calls for teachers to start "networking, reading and collaborating" but attacks the current "manipulation of social media" by teachers with whom she does not agree, making the extraordinary claim that some individuals hold several hundred Twitter accounts to create the illusion of mass support for unpopular ideas.
Such contradictions litter her book. She praises Finland for selecting its teachers from the top 10 per cent of university graduates, but attacks Teach First, an organisation designed to attract top graduates. She hopes that teachers become better versed in education research, but lambasts the limits of "evidence" for only showing success in tests.
Not that Kidd is averse to the odd citation. At one point, she writes that teachers should focus more upon "what makes learning really memorable in the long term, that is emotion, activity and narrative". This is a bold claim, which she backs up with three references: a five-page article from 1994 (emotion); a conference talk by two educationists in Florence (activity); and a study of 209 pupils from a middle school in the United States (narrative). On the following page, she says: "People tend to choose the research that best fits their world view". Quite.
And then there are the errors. She writes that Finnish teachers teach 15.2 hours a week, though the 2013 Teaching and Learning International Survey report put it at 20.6 (higher than in England). Twice she repeats the canard that South Korea has the highest child suicide rate in the world. In fact, New Zealand, Ireland and Finland top the OECD teen suicide table. Kidd also argues that high stakes testing has a disproportionately adverse effect on children from ethnic minorities, citing a study into Hispanic pupils in America from 2005. Closer to home, this year's Commons Select Committee report showed that, amongst free school meal pupils, all ethnic groups outperform white British pupils at GCSE.
I also fall victim to her erroneous pen. Attacking my book Progressively Worse, she describes me as a "Teach First graduate who fled the classroom as soon as his training was over" – even though I teach history full-time at a London comprehensive while Kidd (who refers to herself as a teacher) has left the classroom. She also classifies me as part of a group of "right-wing writers". I have never declared any political allegiance, and a member of the Labour party wrote the foreword to my book.
Conspiracy theories are the last refuge of those living through changes they can neither accept nor comprehend. So, all that Kidd opposes is deemed to emanate from an evil nexus of big business, the Conservative party and Rupert Murdoch.
Ultimately, I am left feeling sorry for Kidd. She has suffered the fate of so many of yesteryear's radicals who call for a revolution, only to find when it finally comes that they are in the firing line. Though it may claim to be a call to revolution, this book is really a reactionary squib.

Janet Downs 5 February 2015
Contradictions 'litter' Debra Kidds's book, Teaching: notes from the front line, writes your reviewer Robert Peal. He criticizes Dr Kidd for praising Finland's policy of recruiting teachers from the top 10% of graduates while attacking Teach First. But Teach First doesn't just recruit from the top 10%. The minimum requirements are a 2:1 degree. In 2012/13, 67% of graduates from UK universities achieved either first or upper second class honours. 67% of graduates can hardly be described as 'top graduates'.
The comparison between Finland's teacher education and Teach First doesn't end there. In Finland, trainee teachers undertake five years of teacher education. Teach Firsters, on the other hand, receive a six-week summer school before being sent to schools where they're expected to remain for two years. This six weeks is deemed sufficient to equip Teach Firsters with the 'tools and knowledge' they need to begin teaching. In Finland, it's five years.

Shortlisted for the 2015 Richard and Judy Search for a Bestseller Competition. It's true what they say...revenge is sweet. 1975. A baby, minutes old, is forcibly taken from its devastated mother. 2010. The body of an elderly woman - tortured to death - is found in a Dublin public park in the depths of winter. Detective Inspector Tom Reynolds is working the case. He's convinced the murder is linked to historical events that took place in the notorious Magdalene Laundries. Reynolds and his team follow the trail to an isolated convent in the Irish countryside. But once inside, it becomes disturbingly clear that the killer is amongst them...and is determined to exact further vengeance for the sins of the past.
Jo Spain has worked as a journalist and a party advisor on the economy in the Irish parliament. With Our Blessing is her first novel and was one of seven books shortlisted in the Richard and Judy Search for a Bestseller competition 2015.

Five lawyers in four different provinces have notified us that they received an email from the purported Helen Polase looking to retain them with regards to a breach of a business loan agreement.
In at least one case, a lawyer engaged in further communication with the fraudster. The lawyer then received an email from the purported debtor, Anthony Williams, acknowledging the debt. Williams promised to forward a cheque in partial payment (approximately $95,000 of the alleged $300,000 debt), suggesting that the lawyer deposit the cheque into his firm trust fund, hold back $5,000 by way of retainer, and issue a new cheque to Polase.
A cheque arrived by registered mail and the lawyer deposited it, but waited for it to clear before attempting to withdraw funds. The bank identified the cheque as counterfeit, and the lawyer reported the scam to the police, who began an investigation.
I am attaching the Loan Agreement Promissory Note that was reached between me and my friend Anthony Williams, who currently lives at 204 Wood Lane Fredericton, NB E3B 7N8. I loaned him the sum of $300.000.00 in May of 2011, when he claimed his business was going through financial difficulties. He has been coming up with one reason or the other why he has not been able to pay me back the money since the due date of the loan which was the 31st of May 2013. I'm currently away from the States at the moment, in Asia on a business trip. Hence my seeking your assistance to help me collect my money from him. Also attached is the check I issued him for the loan. Forwarded below is the last email I received from him when I told him I was seeking the assistance of an attorney, to help me collect my money from him. I did not reply his email, because I do not believe a word from him anymore. Please do forward me your retainer agreement and your terms for my review, if this is something you can assist me with.

HDv 181/6 – Untersuchung und Instandsetzung des Infanteriegerätes, Teil 6 – Inspection and Repair of the Infantry Devices, Part 6 – Inspection and Repair of the MG34. Dated Aug. 1, 1941 with 40 pages, no pictures, all text about the repair and maintenance of the MG34. It's not as extensively detailed as the MG42 armorer's manual, but this is the only manual for repairing the MG34. This manual does cover most of the common repairs for the MG34, including spring tension specs for the recoil and firing pin springs, and the repairs for the most common problems. This manual contains information that simply isn't in any other manual, and is without a doubt worth the purchase price. This MG34 repair manual does not have information about how to disassemble and assemble the MG34, or how the gun operates. If you aren't already experienced and familiar with the MG34 and its operation, this should not be a first manual. Recommended prior reading is the D 124/1, since that manual has pictures and names of all the parts in the MG34, and explains the basics. Please reference "HDv 181/6" on your order.

I live in a beautiful RV resort in the winter. The business that runs two RV resorts in Tucson is giving discounts to people if they are referred by a "friend" living in the park. Both of these parks are rated very high in Trailer Life. A park on the west side of the city has the coveted 10/10*/10 rating. The park on the east side that I live in is rated 9.5/10*/10. My park is a little smaller and really has a sense of community. The maintenance on both parks is about the best I have ever seen in my travels around the United States.
If you mention my name when you make your reservation you will receive $20 for a week stay or $100 if you stay a month. The weekly rate is $230+ taxes and the monthly rate is $639+ taxes. The discount for a monthly rate is a little over 15%...nothing to sneeze at.
So send me an email to orencoopinions@gmail.com and I will forward you the information so you can take advantage of this service.
Take a look at the resort information to see if you are interested: RinconCountry.com. Then contact me and let me be your friend!
I hope to see YOU next winter.
The information I have from the park says I can refer as many people as I can find. Let me say here...I am operating at the whim of the owners and can not guarantee space availability, etc. My advice to you would be to act as soon as possible. The park we live in was filled totally last winter.

Suncor Energy Inc. and Enbridge Inc. are among Canadian fossil fuel companies seeking answers after Ontario premier-designate Doug Ford announced plans to unwind a cap-and-trade program that has issued $2.8 billion (US$2.1 billion) worth of pollution credits to dozens of companies.
Ford has said companies will be relieved of what he labelled a job-killing carbon tax, though he has yet to say what will become of their investment in cleaner air. Ontario's program was linked to California and Quebec, which have locked Ontario out of the secondary market to prevent dumping credits that could depress prices.
In its agreement with California and Quebec, Ontario said it would "endeavour" to give a year's notice before leaving the program and to exit only at the end of a compliance period, according to a report from Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
"It did very clearly say 'endeavour to' — which does imply there's no real legal obligation for them to stay in the program," Regan said.

Climate For Collections: Standards And Uncertainties
EditorJonathan Ashley-smith, Andreas Burmester, Melanie Eibl
Paperback | July 16, 2013
The debate about environmental standards for museum collections has by no means been resolved. Climate change, ever increasing energy bills, the complexity of air-conditioning systems, the feasibility of alternative climate control strategies and the real effects of inappropriate indoor environments on collections pose major questions for conservation professionals. The papers in this volume, given at a major international conference, held at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich from 7 to 9 November 2012 on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Doerner Institut, investigate what is known and what is not known about suitable environmental conditions for cultural heritage collections, presenting the most significant recent research on the subject. The global imperative to save energy and reduce our carbon footprint is evident. Museums and other cultural institutions are deeply implicated in these concerns as major consumers of energy, particularly those housed in modern buildings. The demand for a better understanding of the interactions between cultural heritage collections and the climate is pressing. The EU-funded research project Climate for Culture is currently investigating the influence of current and future climate change on cultural heritage objects. Serious concerns have been raised in the conservation community at recent extension's of the range of acceptable climate criteria for both permanent exhibitions and loans, and new theories such as the 'proofed fluctuation concept' are much discussed. Climate for Collections - Standards and Uncertainties addresses these issues. By adopting broad definitions of both 'climate' and 'collection', the subject has been expanded beyond the concerns of previous conferences such as 'Museum Microclimates' (Copenhagen 2007) and recent discussions such as 'The plus/minus dilemma' (IIC/AIC 2010). To ensure these questions are addressed in depth, the topics of climate change and sustainability have been introduced.

President Joe Biden isn't only taking flack from Republicans over his handling of the border crisis, but now he is receiving condemnation from his own party. This week there were three Democratic senators who were critical of the Biden administration's handling of the migrant crisis at the southern border.
Two Democratic senators from the border state of Arizona chastised Biden for not doing enough to remedy the migrant surge.
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) reacted on Wednesday to Biden's first address to a joint session of Congress by saying, "While I share President Biden's urgency in fixing our broken immigration system, what I didn't hear tonight was a plan to address the immediate crisis at the border, and I will continue holding this administration accountable to deliver the resources and staffing necessary for a humane, orderly process as we work to improve border security, support local economies, and fix our immigration system."
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) echoed Kelly's sentiment that Biden has not done enough to address the historic surge at the U.S. southern border.
"Sen. Sinema has been clear that she – along with Sen. Kelly – wants to see more action from the administration to address the border crisis and support Arizona border communities. She's spoken directly with administration officials on this," Sinema's office told Fox News.
There was enough blame for the border crisis to go around the Biden administration. Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono (Hawaii) went after Vice President Kamala Harris, who was tapped by Biden on March 23 to head the administration's response to the massive migrant surge. As Newsweek noted, Harris has been MIA at the southern border but has "made trips to New Hampshire and other states to promote the administration's jobs and infrastructure plan and its coronavirus response, with most of her work on the matter occurring in the form of roundtable discussions with experts and meetings with regional leaders."
During a PBS interview, Hirono was asked by host Margaret Hoover, "Will you urge Vice President Harris, who has been tasked with handling this crisis, to visit the border, as she hasn't yet been there?"
Hirono responded that she would "of course" urge Harris to visit the border.
The progressive senator said she "didn't know" why the vice president failed to visit the border during the crisis.
"We have a few other things to deal with, like the pandemic and everything else, so I'm not going to point fingers at her in the sense of — I hope that she will go down to the border," Hirono said during her appearance on "Firing Line with Margaret Hoover." "I hope that we can have a comprehensive, 'whole of government' approach to what we need to do to have a humane immigration system."
"I would call it a crisis," Hirono said of the current migrant surge at the border.
"We know what is happening," the lawmaker continued. "So whatever you call it, we're going to need to deal with it. We're going to need to address it in a humane way."
Last month, Biden admitted that there is a "crisis" on the southern border, but his administration quickly walked back the president's remarks by saying the word "crisis" is not reflective of the "administration's official position," but rather the situation is a "challenge."
Despite the historic flood of migrants across the southern border, the Biden administration is reportedly planning to increase the number of illegal immigrants released into the U.S.

Aloe broomii
Not sensitive
Assessor: Sarah Schumann
Sensitive in 2010
Reason for the sensitivity status
Aloe species are widely utilised for traditional and medicinal purposes and are also popular in domestic and international horticulture trade. Plants of this genus were among those targeted and confiscated during criminal prosecutions of illegal plant collecting. As this taxon does not have a vulnerable population size and it is not thought to be threatened, were exploitation to occur, recruitment and recovery may be possible.
Exploitation extent
Uncertain - No data exists yet showing that this species is exploited in the wild, however it has one or more relatives or look-alike species (found in South Africa or globally) that are known to be utilised. This species has a similar life form or other relevant traits to its exploited relative(s), making it highly likely that it would be exploited for the same purposes.
Justification and references
According to the SANBI Red List Assessment, this species is of Least Concern as it is thought to be common, widespread and not in danger of extinction (von Staden, 2018). This genus is increasing in demand and of popular interest in international horticultural trade, as indicated by several online marketplace, e-commerce and auction sites. Plants of this genus were among those targeted and/or confiscated during a recent criminal prosecution of illegal plant collecting. There has been several recorded confiscations of the genus from illegal collection (Confiscation Lists (2018-2021) provided by Cape Nature, SANBI Karoo Desert Botanical Garden and Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden). Aloe species are widely utilised for traditional and medicinal purposes and are also popular in domestic and international horticulture trade (Grace, 2011). Many wild aloe species are threatened by over-exploitation for the succulent plant trade as well as over-utilisation for cosmetics and natural products which makes rare, endemic and utility taxa conservation priority (Grace, 2011). This suggests that this genus is being targeted and that this species may be at risk from collection and removal from the wild.

von Staden, L. 2018. Aloe broomii Schönland var. broomii. National Assessment: Red List of South African Plants version 2020.1.
Population vulnerability
Population is not vulnerable: size is > 2500 mature individuals, AND the number of known subpopulations is > 5 AND range > 100km2
This taxon is thought to be common and widespread (von Staden, 2018).
Targeted demographics
Regeneration potential
This species has a fast population growth rate, and there is a good chance the wild populations will recover from exploitation.
Being common and widespread, this species may have a better chance of recovery were exploitation to take place.

Massimiliano Ricciarini's passion for streetfood starts fifteen years ago, when at the end of his masters degree in food and wine tourism economy he develops a reaseach on Italian traditional streetfood.
Now Massimiliano is president of Associazione Streetfood that organises streetfood events and owns a trailer to serve beer.
Born in 2008, the Association has organised its first event in 2010, in a small town in the province of Arezzo. In 2016 has bought the trailer.
"A new approach that is reflected on events: streetfood on wheels becomes the core business", tells Massimiliano.
"I've chosen StreetFoody because it's a local company I already knew. I am very happy about the trailer for serving beer because we were allowed to fully customise it and adapt it accordingly to our needs", adds Massimiliano.
Foodtrucks trend has started a few years ago, but now it's at its peak: Massimiliano's association organises "around thirty events per year".
thanks to his experience and his ppassion for streetfood, Massimiliano can tell us some of the upcoming trends in the streetfood field: "on one hand events revolving around a specific dish, on the other a synergy between foodtruckers and events revolving around arts and entertainment. And there's also a growing trend: foodtruckers opening restaurants thanks to the experience gained on the road".
Massimiliano's story also tells us that starting a business on the road is not only possible on board of a truck, but also with a trailer.
If you would find out more about taking your business on the road, on a truck or on a trailer, contact us at info@streetfoody.it or call us at 055 919431!

How swamp pop invaded the U.K. and stole Nick Lowe's heart
by Christiaan Mader
Photo courtesy nicklowe.com
In 1974, middle school history teacher Johnnie Allan got a call from his old record producer, Floyd Soileau. "Johnnie, are you sitting down?" Allan recalls. "I just got wind from London. You got a hot song out there. They're playing the hell out of it."
That chart burner, a cover of Chuck Berry's "Promised Land," was cut three years earlier at Soileau's studio in Ville Platte and landed with a thud. Allan, a swamp pop pioneer, went back to work teaching Louisiana history at Acadian Elementary school on Moss Street, around the corner from where he now lives.
While Americans went for a version cut by Elvis in 1974, overseas hip Brits were all about Johnnie Allan and the new old sound. Ten years after The Beatles stormed America with "I Want to Hold Your Hand," swamp pop returned fire.
Allan's second wind came by way of a British DJ, Charlie Gillett, and his release of Another Saturday Night, a compilation of tracks from the Louisiana dance scene of the '50s, '60s, and '70s — somewhat mischaracterized as Cajun music. Gillett's BBC radio show had a lockdown on English tastemakers, including a set of Americana-crazy artists who spearheaded a loose movement of back-to-basics rock bands known as "pub rock," a half-sibling of the U.K. punk scene. Among the converted was producer and songwriter Nick Lowe, who is performing in Lafayette this Wednesday, kicking off the SOLO Songwriters Festival with a show at Warehouse 535.
Lowe and other London scenesters like Elvis Costello and Graham Parker listened religiously to Gillett's show, finding immediate kinship in the blue-eyed groove, the self-effacing wit and the evident devotion to Fats Domino, Slim Harpo and Chuck Berry. The term "swamp pop" itself was coined by the British, specifically in a book about Louisiana music published in the 1970s.
"I suppose I heard it without really knowing what it was," Lowe remembers. "What I couldn't get was whether it was soul music or rock and roll."
Lowe, known for penning classics like "Cruel to Be Kind" and "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding," and steering the ship on Costello's first five LPs, connected with the humor and aloofness of the imported tracks, mistakenly known to him and other Brits as a product of New Orleans.
"It's sort of funny music. Not comedy," he says. "But a kind of big heartedness that you didn't hear in other genres. There's a fine line between kind of corny and cool. And I suppose I try to do that in my own music."
That corniness — the lounge lizard aesthetic, the shoe-polish hair — set swamp poppers apart in their native Louisiana and aged the genre out of favor in the ascent of the Cajun renaissance that began in the 1970s and crested into the '80s and beyond. The sheer Americanization of musicians who cast aside, in most cases, singing in their native Cajun French to chase the rumble of rock and roll seemed out of place in a culture that rediscovered itself.
"People looked down on it; they thought those guys were corny and campy, which they kinda are," says C.C. Adcock, a Lafayette native and producer who helped pull the genre out of the doldrums, celebrating it with Lil' Band O' Gold, an Acadiana supergroup that has featured swamp pop icons like Tommy McLain and Warren Storm. "They're bad boys singing sweetly. It worked for Johnnie Allan. It worked for Keith Richards."
But in the U.K., thanks to Gillett's stewardship, swamp pop found a second life among kindred spirits. After that fateful call from Soileau, Allan was swept into a promo tour for Another Saturday Night, hopping the Atlantic during an Easter break at school. Over the next few decades, Allan would do dozens of tours in the U.K., following the spread of swamp pop fandom into continental Europe.
Costello, Lowe and others would cram into London's pubs to hear Allan and multi-instrumentalist Harry Simoneaux, a frequent sideman — all the while seeding a cultural obsession for Louisiana's peculiar, Francophone Americana among Brits for the next few decades. Before he married her, Lowe's wife was obsessed with swamp pop and Cajun music. She took a pilgrimage to Eunice in the early 2000s, pounding on the door at KBON and becoming something of a town curiosity for a solid month.
Johnnie Allan, Dave Edmunds, Lee Brilleaux at Dingwalls in London, March 1978.
For the most part, swamp pop can fly under the radar as Americana, save for the nasal Cajun drawl and the occasional accordion solo. Belton Richard, another Cajun spotlit on Another Saturday Night, threw an accordion rip on top of Allan's "Promised Land," as sort of a last minute addition, Allan says. The whole track, in fact, was an afterthought, album filler cooked up at the 11th hour.
"The song is strong, but the accordion ride is what sells it," Allan chuckles. "It made the English ears perk up."
Another Saturday Night started a musical conversation. In 1979, Allan recorded a version of "I Knew the Bride," a Lowe tune popularized by his frequent co-conspirator Dave Edmunds. Edmunds and Lowe's short-lived cult act Rockpile often played a searing rendition of "Promised Land," more akin to the Chuck Berry original, a fact documented on a Rockpile live record released in 1980.
That exchange hasn't let up. Adcock, who signed to seminal British record label Island Records as a teenager in the 1980s — long before it was Island/DefJam — was stunned to find the currency of swamp pop hits among English tastemakers. He befriended Lowe and Costello — Adcock arranged Lowe's performance in Lafayette — in part because they spoke the same musical language, the grammar of which spun out of the early rock and roll era of the 1950s.
"It's Chuck Berry, it's Slim Harpo, it's Fats Domino," Adcock says. "That's the secret handshake that gets you in the cool club."
Both Lowe and Costello contributed work to a forthcoming record by McLain, shepherded by Adcock. Costello penned a gothic R&B murder ballad, delivered by email, and offered up a bittersweet chorus for another track. Lowe punched up some lyrics for another tune. McLain and Adcock are opening Lowe's show this week. Allan plans to be there, reconnecting with an old pal in Lowe.
That relationship began with "Promised Land" almost 50 years ago. Allan spent decades chasing what ultimately was a flash-in-the-pan for him, in terms of notoriety. Swamp pop artists, despite rabid pockets of aficionados and record collectors across the world, remain relatively obscure in the annals of rock and roll, overshadowed by titans like Berry or Domino or the King himself. But the track gave Allan the ride of his life, a reason to quit teaching high school and never look back.
Allan spent years searching for another "Promised Land," trying to find a track that would make the same waves across international waters, he says. "I never could."
Nick Lowe performs Wednesday May 22 at Warehouse 535. Tickets are available via www.solosongwriters.com

Total, optimistic on Nigeria Petroleum Industrial Bill
Oil Field Africa - Thursday September 3, 2020
Total E&P Nigeria Limited (TEPNG) has commended the forthcoming approval of Nigeria's Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) with high optimism that it will open the door for new investments into the country's oil and gas industry.
"[Total] is keen to continue to invest in Nigeria and to contribute constructively to the ongoing debate about the Petroleum Industry Bill," said Mike Sangster, Managing Director of TEPNG, at the Society of Petroleum Engineers', Nigeria Energy Industry Transformation Summit.
"We welcome the efforts being made by the authorities to define a long-term framework for the oil and gas industry that provides clarity and certainty, but it must also provide attractive terms and a win-win solution for the country and investors in order to entice sufficient capital in an ever more competitive world."
The approval of the Bill comes at a particularly challenging time for the industry, in which COVID-19 has forced oil and gas firms to re-examine their strategies to ensure sustainability.
Sangster stated that Total is dedicated to delivering clean, affordable energy and being part of the solution to climate change by increasing investment in renewable energy and low-cost oil and biofuels and promoting the use of natural gas and hydrogen. Total will also be investing in carbon sinks that are essential to achieving carbon neutrality.
"Our investment in the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas, from the beginning until now, is partly derived from our commitment to the production of cleaner and better energy," said Sangster. "At the Group level: Total's ambition is to become the responsible energy major and to get to Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050."
….New Bill to Include Reduction of Taxes on Onshore, Shallow Water Licences
"Not unmindful that the industry players are of the view that the current level of taxation on onshore and shallow water operation is excessive", Timipre Sylva, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, has declared.
"Therefore, proposed petroleum industry bill (PIB) should include the significant lowering on these taxes for new investments and for existing operations", he explained.
"Lowering of royalties is contemplated, particularly for low levels of production per field". It is therefore our hope that the future is more positive and attractive for the Nigerian petroleum industry after the passage of the PIB". The Honourable Minister Stated.
The Minister, who made this clarification known at the Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists (NAPE) forum, emphasized the present government utmost commitment and enabling environment in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic in the short term approach.
"we are proposing in the new law, a grandfathering", which, in his view "will preserve current government while also guaranteeing investors return. It also guarantees that investors can continue with existing operations while earning favourable returns".
"Be based on core principles of clarity, dynamism, neutrality, open access and fiscal rules of general application." He concluded.

Published on Spiegel Online International, a Commentary by Christoph Schult in Brussels, Dec 2, 2014.
… Why is it even necessary for NATO officers to comment so frequently about Ukraine? Since the outbreak of the crisis, the alliance has expressed the opinion that the conflict cannot be resolved through military means. If that's true, then wouldn't it be better if Stoltenberg, Breedlove and company kept quiet?
Doing anything else is advantageous to Putin while at the same time sowing division in Europe. It makes it easy for the Russian president to blather about the supposed expansionist policies of the West. When it comes to the EU, of course, Putin is contradicting himself. He once said: "If the EU accepts Ukraine as a member, Russia, I think, would welcome this." Last year, he suddenly and surprisingly changed course.
But Putin has always seen NATO membership for Ukraine as a red line. Even if NATO is focused on defense, it is still a military alliance. It can only be powerful, however, when all 28 member states share the same position. And herein lies the problem: Only a small minority — comprised primarily of the Baltic states and Poland — currently support Ukrainian accession to the alliance. All others adhere to the principle that each accession should not only be beneficial to the new member, but also to the community as a whole. It's difficult to see at the moment how Ukraine might benefit NATO.
In that sense, there is only one right answer in response to Poroshenko's musings. It's the one formulated by German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier. "I see a partner relationship between Ukraine and NATO, but not membership," the foreign minister told SPIEGEL ONLINE last week.
Or, to put it more simply, the question of Ukrainian membership isn't even on the agenda.

BARBRA STREISAND – AVINU MALKEINU, 4.18 min, uploaded by Sasha Charan, April 13, 2009 … and many more videos in autoplay.


Tempy is a rural village on the Sunraysia Highway and railway line to Mildura in north-west Victoria. The nearest town is Ouyen, 32 km northwards.
Both the settlement and its name arose from the construction of the railway line in 1903. The fettlers' camp became a temporary stopping place for the delivery of supplies, and the sign 'Temp'y Stopping Station' was shortened to Tempy.
The settlement of Tempy was part of the occupation of the Mallee region, mainly for wheat growing. Farms had been allotted since the late 1880s, but it was the railway which brought about the Tempy village. A school was opened in 1910 and a bush nursing centre in 1917. Anglican and Catholic churches were opened in the 1920s. Channels were constructed in the Tempy district for the supply of water from Grampians storages for livestock and domestic use by 1928. Silos were built at the railway siding in about 1939.
The postwar years were relatively prosperous, and a new Catholic church was opened in 1966. Prosperity waned with the advent of wheat quotas in the 1960s, although better drought resistant wheat varieties were a help.
Tempy has a general store, an infant welfare centre, and a school which had 37 pupils in 1998 and 20 in 2014.

Q: Export large csv format data from R I exported very large csv format data via R, but since the the maximum raw of excel is 10480, I had to split it into several csv files in order to export it as csv, it's very inconvenient to handle them after that, is there any apropos way to export nearly 10 times of 10480 raw csv in just one file at the same time via R?
Thank you very much.

A: If you must use Excel with the data, you can keep the huge csv files and query them from within Excel. You could alternatively start building a database with the csv files and query the database from within Excel. This link might help you.

ANG Probinsyano party-list Rep. Alfred de los Santos introduced a measure that lays out a clear path to regular plantilla positions in the government for national coaches and athletes.
De los Santos filed House Bill 4654, also known as "An Act providing for the employment of National Athletes and Coaches as Regular Employees of the Government, thereby securing their salaries and benefits."
"I filed this bill because I want to promote forward-looking sports policies for our athletes and their coaches," de los Santos said.
HB 4654 establishes regular employment with corresponding qualifications required and salary grades for national athletes and national coaches.
For their retirement, it also offers a GSIS membership and a monthly priority athlete benefit of P3,000.
Athletes and coaches can also continue working as brand ambassadors and endorsers while they hold public office.
The funding for the bill's implementation will be included in the annual general appropriations that guarantees the compensation and benefits of the modern day national heroes.
"This bill is also named in honor of Asia's fastest woman in the 1980s, Lydia de Vega, who brought glory and prestige to our country in the sport of track and field. She succumbed in her battle against cancer on Aug. 10, 2022," de los Santos said.
"We commemorate her memory and legacy in the hopes that she will inspire the younger generation to strive for excellence," he added.
