In my Monday post, I briefly talked about this month's article club meeting. The 6 of us ladies met and discussed an article on why it's important to court your friends. Twenty-something girls talking about friendship can get real personal real fast. We've all had our fair share of let down's and awkward encounters. We started talking about our old friendships, our personalities, how it's often hard to make new friends in your mid-20s. And then, the conversation went further, deeper. We talked about events, struggles, parts of our paths in our lives that have made us who we are. The parts that are hard to share, the parts that we only share with people who we know will safely carry that part with them.
I'm not sure I've ever had a night quite like that one. If I have, I can count them on one hand. Ironically, the article was about courting friends, and the most attractive qualities I find in a friend were brought out in each of us that night - vulnerability, authenticity.
This night made me a little extra sad about moving next month, but I know that after spending the evening with them, I could call any one of them or text them or write them a letter from WA (as they could do to me) and it'd feel like we wouldn't be separated by anything but state lines.

West Yorkshire Police and the West Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner joined partners from the public and private sectors to host a Modern Slavery summit.
The aim of the event, which was held at West Yorkshire Police's Carr Gate facility, was to bring together partners from the business, banking and public sectors to work together to tackle this most awful crime.
Over 140 delegates from a cross section of businesses from the banking and recruitment sectors and representatives from academia attended the event.
Key note speakers included Kevin Hyland - the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner and Paul Broadbent - the Chief Executive of the Gangmasters Licensing Authority.
"Human trafficking is a vile crime perpetrated by money driven criminals who have no regard for the suffering of their victims.
"Being the lead Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for human trafficking and modern day slavery, here in West Yorkshire we are leading the way both regionally and nationally in tackling traffickers and criminal gangs, as well as rescuing and supporting the victims.
"In conjunction with anti-human trafficking charity Hope for Justice and other partners we have trained thousands of frontline officers and staff on spotting the tell-tale signs of this crime. We created 2 years ago a dedicated team of detectives to investigate reports and tackle the perpetrators head on. We also established the West Yorkshire Anti-Trafficking Network at the same time and this year I helped launch the national PCC network in the Home Office to share good practise and promote true joined up partnership working. The only way we can tackle this crime is to work together and this event with partners from across the public and private sectors was the latest step in developing our approach with key partners. I was therefore delighted with the take up for this event and the input from all our speakers and participants.
"It was a really constructive and excellent event and I would like to thank all those who attended and share our vision of bringing an end to modern day slavery and human trafficking."
"Modern Slavery is a harrowing subject to discuss but this event was a very powerful reminder that there are lots of people and organisations out there who can make a massive difference.
"The event itself could not have gone any better - we had support from so many people who came along, and listened and contributed to the discussions.
"It is vital that we get it right 'on the ground' in terms of how we safeguard vulnerable victims and deal with those looking to profit from the misery of others. West Yorkshire Police is only one of only a handful of Forces to have a unit dedicated solely to tackling this insidious crime.
"It is also vital that we get it right at a strategic level too. Modern Slavery is an issue that can affect various organisations and sectors - no one can or should work in isolation to tackle it.
"That is why we held this summit - to discuss and share best practise and to learn from others so that we can then ensure that together we are doing everything possible.
"Everyone has a role to play - from the police officer 'on the beat' to the bank cashier taking a payment - the approach to tackling Modern Slavery must be a joint one."
The conference heard from keynote speakers about the crime and what can be done to stop it and the steps that can be taken to safeguard victims of it.
During the lunch interval at the event the Leeds based theatre company, Bughlight staged a short play about modern slavery.
Participants at the conference were also shown a hard-hitting video about modern slavery and the impact it has on victims.

Pets are living longer! Why is this you may ask?
Many clients ask why routine wellness testing such as checking stool for parasites, running blood panels to check for hidden blood count changes, heartworm, Lyme disease, and organ function, or more specialized tests are needed.
Caregivers, our veterinary clinic clients, are responsible for the health and welfare of their pets. This requires them to expend time and money to help ensure that their pets live long and healthier lives.
Veterinarians and their team members must be a part of any pet care plan, to ensure appropriate (and not excessive, inadequate or inappropriate) health prevention and interventions occur. Studies are carried out to determine what sort of regimen for health care monitoring returns the "biggest bang for the buck" to allow clients to carefully invest in the health and disease prevention for their favourite furry friend. Your veterinarian can advise you regarding optimal wellness plans, and associated testing, as it is customized for each individual patient.
Checking for intestinal worms and external parasites annually for healthy animals is essential since many of these are able to pass between people and pets (zoonotic). Contrary to general thinking, one usually does not see worms coming out! That only happens when very heavy infestations occur. There may be no signs of diarrhea, weight loss or unthriftiness, or perhaps clinical signs may develop. And most surface parasites are too small to see with the naked eye!
For pets with ongoing health problems, or for seniors, those in >7-9 year range in cats and most dog breeds (note giant dog breeds have short lifespans, so are considered seniors earlier), your vet will recommend annual (or more frequent) bloodwork and urine sampling. This may seem like an unnecessary expense until you realize cats and dogs age ~5 years for every year of our life so this frequency is like you getting tested every 5 years, and so is not really a frequent event if you consider this difference in aging rate due to shorter lifespan!
Many health conditions are silent, and your pet cannot talk to tell you where it hurts, so again, contrary to popular opinion that if the cat or dog looks fine, they must be fine, testing allows us to pick up conditions before they are advanced and sometimes before irreversible or deadly, providing opportunity to resolve them, or at least manage them to improve lifespan or quality of life. If everything is fine on the test -great! This provides a baseline of what is normal for your pet so if something goes awry, comparisons can be done to determine how much change has occurred and so is still money well spent.
Many caregivers are concerned about having anesthesia performed on their senior pet. Due to the physical and metabolic changes associated with animals as they get older, there is sometimes a risk involved with anaesthesia and surgery that is over and above what there would be for a younger cat or dog. However, this risk is dependent not only on the condition of the patient, but on other factors as well, such as the type of induction or anaesthetic agent to be used, the kind of surgical procedure/length of the procedure to be performed, and the combined experience of anaesthetist, post-op team, and the surgeon.
Modern safe and effective agents for sedation and anaesthesia, well-trained care teams, properly maintained equipment and close monitoring intraoperatively result in very little-to-no increased risk over baseline for senior pets, so your veterinarian will carefully assess any possible pet risk factors and discuss these ahead of any procedure. Pre-op testing is part of that careful assessment!
A complete history and thorough physical examination to make sure the patient is in good physical condition. Special attention is paid to the heart and lungs since they influence tolerance of procedures.
Heart and Lungs diagnostics are frequently a part of the pre-op evaluation in senior since approximately 30 per cent in dogs over 12 years of age have changes in these systems. Heart disease is often silent in cats. This is why your veterinarian will recommend testing in advance of a procedure for older pets. All senior pets can benefit from a pre-op Lead II ECG, chest x-rays, and possibly ultrasonography will be recommended if a heart and/or lung problem is identified.
A laboratory evaluation ahead of the procedure, consisting of a complete blood count, urine analysis and biochemical profile for senior pets especially. This evaluation is important in all patients of all ages though. Some conditions that occur in pets can have an effect on function of various organs of the body. For example, sometimes liver enzyme activity changes , perhaps affecting the ability of the liver to detoxify certain anaesthetic agents and drugs. Likewise, undetected kidney disease can lead to protein loss which could delay tissue healing and functional changes that decrease the breakdown and excretion of some drugs by the kidneys.
The use of intravenous fluids before, during, and after anaesthesia allows the patient to recover faster and feel better after the anaesthesia. It also provides an easy route of administration for medications and also ensures quick venous access in the case of a medical emergency.
The wellness tests are invaluable tools to assist the veterinary health care team keep tabs on "Tabby", make sure "Whitey" is well!
The appropriate use of such monitoring tools can make the difference between a diagnosis made too late to help versus picking up a problem early, providing for valuable opportunity to enhance the welfare of your pet.
Discuss a plan with your veterinarian to ensure you do not miss out on this set of valuable health care tools.


Clark Gable's grandson, Clark Gable III, died from an accidental overdose on the same drug that killed Prince ... and several others.
According to the autopsy report from Dallas County, the medical examiner determined Gable's overdose was the combined effects of fentanyl, oxycodone and alprazolam ... generic Xanax.
His time of death is listed as 9:11 AM on February 22. The medical examiner also found Gable had a history of abusing weed, alcohol and Xanax. As we reported ... the legendary actor's grandson was found unresponsive in his bed by his fiance.
Gable -- best known as the host of the reality show, "Cheaters," in seasons 13 and 14 -- was filming in Dallas when he died and the family said he had no prior health conditions.
Sources on the set tell TMZ ... crew members worried about his drug use and brought it up to the creator of "Cheaters", Bobby Goldstein, who tells TMZ he never saw Clark use drugs.
What's more ... Goldstein tells us he confronted Gable about the concerns and Goldstein says Gable told him there was nothing to worry about.
Fentanyl is one of the deadliest contributors to the Opioid epidemic. As we've reported, it also contributed to the deaths of Prince, Mac Miller and Lil Peep.

Paris climate deal a step towards a 'better future':Javadekar
Aarti Bali
India on Sunday hailed the adoption of a landmark climate change deal as a "historic day" which promises a "better future" and creates a "chapter of hope" in the lives of seven billion people. Noting that the agreement acknowledges and recognises the development imperatives of India and other developing countries, Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar said the accord also supported their right to development and their efforts to harmonise development with environment, while protecting the interests of the most vulnerable.
"Today is a historic day. What we have adopted is not only an agreement but a new 'chapter of hope' in the lives of 7 billion people. Mahatma Gandhiji used to say that 'we have not inherited earth from our ancestors, but we have it on loan from future generations," Javadekar said. "We have today reassured our future generation that we all together will mitigate the challenge posed by climate change and we will give them a better future," he said at the plenary session after the agreement was adopted.
Javadekar, however also said the agreement could have been more ambitious as the actions of developed nations are "far below" than their historical responsibilities and fair shares. "The actions of developed countries are far below their historical responsibilities and fair shares. We have in the spirit of compromise agreed on a number of phrases in the agreement," he said.
Javadekar said the conference also witnessed the launch of the historic International Solar Alliance under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi which he termed as "path breaking" in providing unprecedented boost to solar energy development. He said that India was happy that the agreement has "unequivocally" acknowledged the imperative of climate justice, which reflects common sentiment and has based itself on the principles of equity and common but differentiated responsibilities.
"The agreement also acknowledges the importance of sustainable lifestyles and sustainable consumption patterns. We are also happy that the agreement differentiates between the actions of developed and developing countries across its elements," Javadekar said. Noting that India has consistently said that the path to climate ambition must be paved with equity, he said that the accord has recognised it.
"While give and take is normal in negotiations, we are of the opinion that the agreement could have been more ambitious. We share the concern of several friends that this agreement does not put us on the path to prevent temperature rise below 2 degrees," Javadekar said. India was engaged constructively and in good faith throughout the course of the negotiations while it was also a part of several groupings of developing countries, including BASIC, LMDCs and G-77 and China and support their statements.
"For us, this agreement is yet another step in a journey we have already started. I hope that Paris will mark the new beginning, where commitments made will be fulfilled," Javadekar said. "It is India's hope that the Paris Agreement will fulfil the wishes of Mahatma Gandhi who said 'We should care for a world we will not see'," he said while thanking as well as congratulating French Presidency for vision and patience.
Later, Javadekar told reporters that it is a historic day because it gives a new hope to the future generation that the world will act collectively and give them a better earth for their future. "Today I hope that the commitments made are fulfilled. This will be new beginning. Paris has succeeded. It was under terror attack last month. This month Paris has proved that world comes together and that is the answer to mitigate the challenge posed by climate change," Javadekar said.
"This is historic because it was not easy that all countries will agree to a reasonable ambitious deal. This has given a new hope, a new lease of life," he said. Asked if compromises were done, Javadekar said the need was to be "accommodative" without changing the thrust of the agreement.
"To achieve big things as there are languages and many issues, when 196 countries are putting their efforts together, you need to be accommodative without changing the thrust of the agreement. We have done everything to maintain that thrust," he said. It will be continuous work from here till 2020 to have new mechanisms. At the same time, all nations are bound by indc and they will be reporting.
He said that there were no obligations for developing countries as the agreement has differentiated treatment which is logical. "Paris is an absolute success. It is a great victory for humanity. We have been successful to keep our national interest alive, at the same time to arrive at a compromise, we proactively engaged with the world and ensured that on small differences, we worked together and now there is this agreement," he said.
An official statement said that the Paris Agreement for the first time brings all nations into a common cause based on their historic, current and future responsibilities. The universal agreement's main aim is to keep a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius and to drive efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

Elissa Tenny, Ed.D. President, School of the Art Institute of Chicago,
As a college of art and design, almost everything we do at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) has a primarily visual aspect. However, anyone who has had a significant encounter with contemporary art knows it is about more than sight. The warm humidity of an Apichatpong Weerasethakul (MFA 1998, HON 2011) film, the metallic tang of a silverpoint by Crown Family Professor of Painting and Drawing Michelle Grabner, the earthen redolence of black soap and shea butter in a Rashid Johnson (SAIC 2003–04, HON 2018) collage, and the percussive fibrousness of bound hair in a work by Professor Anne Wilson each remind us how art and design can engage all of our senses.
This issue of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago magazine explores the poetic and visceral experience of the senses in making and viewing art. Just as all of our senses are delighted as audience members, the makers of art and design must marshal all of their senses to produce their work. Faculty and alums who make sound art, mix perfume, explore architecture and landscape through the senses, and work with people whose disabilities limit their sensory perception are profiled in this issue. And for our main course, "The Medium is the Menu," we take an in-depth look at those working in food and drink, including Arthur Hon (SAIC 1999– 2004), who was recently named Sommelier of the Year by Food and Wine magazine and is pictured on our cover.
Also included is the work of 2018 MacArthur Fellowship recipient Wu Tsang (BFA 2004). Along with 2015 recipient Professor LaToya Ruby Frazier and 2017 recipient Trevor Paglen (MFA 2002), Tsang is the third member of the SAIC community to receive the "genius" grant in four years! Tsang's work in performance and video finds fluid identities in the corporeal sensation of nightclubbing, casting the discotheque as a space to meditate upon the intersections of self and others. In this way, Tsang's work belies the fallacy that the biological and the intellectual are discrete zones of activity. As a site of contemplation that is accessed through engaging the senses, art demonstrates that what we think and what we feel are indivisible. This capacity for art to communicate ideas through sensation evokes one of the School's core values, "meaning and making are inseparable," and underscores, as do the stories in this issue, art's power to shape our experience of the world.

What we can learn from almost murdering Joe the pigeon
As Joe the politician prepares to be inaugurated as the next President of the United States, another Joe has also been making international headlines. Joe the pigeon was found in a backyard in the Australian city of Melbourne last December. He was carrying a leg band that seemed to suggest that he had been in the US state of Oregon two months earlier, raising questions about how he made it across the Pacific – no small feat!
The story made it onto local news and Australian authorities took notice. They declared Joe a "biosecurity risk" and decided that he must be killed in order to protect local birds from possible infection. A spokesperson for the Australian government did not actually use the word "killed," but instead said that Joe must be "destroyed," as if Joe was a car, a stone, or some other inanimate object.

The obvіous plаce to colonіze іs the Moon. NASA hаs been tаlkіng аbout settіng up Moon bаses for аges. Inіtіаlly, they wаnted to buіld theіr bаses іn the underground cаves thаt fіll our Moon, but todаy, NASA іs consіderіng а new thought. They wаnt to put theіr colonіes on wheels.
Moon colonіes wіll need to be mobіle becаuse nіght usuаlly lаsts аbout 14 dаys on the Moon. Such а long nіght cаn get cold, аnd іt mаkes іt іmpossіble to use solаr power to keep thіngs runnіng. In the poles of the Moon, though, іt's neаrly аlwаys dаy. Thаt meаns thаt NASA would be аble to cover а Moon bаse wіth solаr pаnels аnd get а neаrly constаnt source of power.
If the Moon bаse could move аround, іt d be аble to chаnge іts locаtіon wіth the Sun аnd constаntly keep out of the cold. Thаt would аlso let the colonіsts go on explorаtіon mіssіons or set up mіnes on vаrіous аreаs of the Moon.

Myanmar: A Violent Push to Shake Up Ceasefire Negotiations
Crisis Group Briefing
NEW BRIEFING FROM CRISIS GROUP
What's new? On 15 August, an alliance of ethnic armed groups staged coordinated attacks against strategic targets in northern Myanmar. The offensive left up to fifteen people dead, and clashes reportedly continue in the northern part of Shan State, creating concerns for civilians' safety.
Why did it happen? The three ethnic armed groups behind the attacks have been largely excluded from the peace process for the past five years. In recent months, the government has proposed bilateral ceasefires to the groups but has set unrealistic demands and accompanied the offers with military pressure.
Why does it matter? The attacks mark a serious escalation in Shan State's conflict. They represent a rejection of bilateral ceasefire terms that the Myanmar government has proposed to the armed groups. While the Myanmar military has not yet responded with significant force, the brunt of mounting violence will inevitably fall on civilians.
What should be done? Both the Myanmar military and the armed groups should exercise restraint, allow humanitarian agencies to safely provide assistance and pursue ceasefire talks. The military and government should review their earlier ceasefire proposal, while China should continue to use its influence in Myanmar to encourage an end to the fighting.

Herald-Mail Media reports last month, the school board approved the request of Tom McCloud of Waynesboro, PA, to display the national motto and other documents in the district's schools.
McCloud also volunteered to coordinate funding from groups in the local community to have the motto and documents printed and framed at no cost for the district's schools and classrooms.
The board also passed a resolution saying it desires to display the motto and documents because they serve patriotic, historical, educational and solemnizing purposes.


The 2018 BMC Speedfox introduces a true game-changer: Trailsync technology. This tech integrates the functions of the dropper seatpost and the rear suspenions lockouts with the push of one button. No more futzing with two or even three levers – drop the post and the rear suspension opens up completely. Raise the post, and rear shock pop back into standard trail pedaling mode. Simple, yet revolutionary.
In the name of both better function and better design, the 2018 Speedfox offers entirely internal cable routing of all systems – suspension, drivetrain, and braking. This not only creates cleaner lines that simply look better to the eye, it also improves durability and longevity of components, protecting them from the elements and from potential damage from crashes.
BMC's rear suspension platform, APS – or Advanced Pivot System – deftly integrates pedaling efficiency, large-bump compliance, and braking stability, which is something not all systems do. The result is an especially confident ride, no matter the terrain or conditions.
Because not all riders are the same size or have the same set of needs, the new Speedfox offers different wheel sizes at different frame sizes. Small frames are offered with 27.5" wheels and 130mm of travel. Large and X-Large bikes offer 29" wheels with 120mm of travel, while Medium-sized Speedfoxes can be had with 27.5" or 29" wheels, with either 130mm or 120mm, respectively.
Available in: 27.5" or 29"

Unabridged CD Audio Book

Bolinda/Audible audio
Time, worlds and hearts collide in this mesmerising time-travel romance, perfect for fans of Diana Gabaldon.
Colin O'Rourke is expanding Celtic Connections, his matchmaking business, to the UK and Ireland. However, its success is threatened before it opens its doors when a prominent UK gossip columnist publishes a slanderous article about his company. The columnist agrees to retract her column ... if he can successfully match her stubbornly single niece. Eleanor Carberry is content with her life as a London bookshop owner. She has everything she needs – books, tea, and an aunt who is more like a mother. When her aunt asks Ellie to be Celtic Connections's first client, to determine if the company can match everyday people and not just London's wealthiest, Ellie reluctantly agrees. When Colin and Ellie meet, their connection is undeniable. And though he's drawn to her, Colin knows there's more at stake than his own happiness – as an O'Rourke Protector, he has duties that call him to the past. He knows Ellie could be his future, but her aunt has made it clear that if he doesn't match her with a specific type of man, she'll ensure Celtic Connections's failure. Despite the distance Colin tries to keep, Fate has other plans when Ellie takes an unexpected trip back in time ... once upon a summer night.

Asia's iconic luxury department store Lane Crawford collaborates on a global exclusive collection formed by a series of eight Australian & New Zealand designers, curated and creatively directed by LOCAL DESIGN's Emma Elizabeth. Launching March 2019, the pieces are available exclusively online from Lane Crawford in their flagship Pacific Place store in Hong Kong and online at lanecrawford.com.
Xǐ is a sculptural vase inspired by the Chinese ligature for Double Happiness "shuāngxǐ". This character, which is typically associated with marriage, is mimicked in the design, transforming the block like form into rings of varying widths, heights and materials, when pairing the vases in a set of two to stand side by side.
The modern interpretation of this symbol uses interchangeable rings allowing the user to customise an individual or pair of vessels in either symmetrical or asymmetrical forms, creating their own sculptural designs.
The vases / sculptures utilise luxury materials and finishes including Carrara marble, Nero Marquina and polished stainless steel creating a sculpture with personality and boldness with the black and white and mirrored surfaces. Pieces are designed for decorative use on entrance hall tables and buffets, side, coffee and dining tables or bedroom and living room areas.

Sunny Deol joins BJP, may contest from Gurdaspur
New Delhi । Actor Sunny Deol, son of veteran actor and former BJP MP Dharmendra, joined Bhartiya Janata Party today.
The 62-year-old actor was welcomed into the party by Union Ministers Piyush Goyal and Nirmala Sitharaman, days after he met BJP President Amit Shah.
Actor Sunny Deol said that he will do whatever he can with all his heart. He said "He has done so much for the country. I want that he should remain the Prime Minister for the next five years because we want to develop as a country. Our youth needs people like Modi.'
EVMs across India voting for BJP: Akhilesh Yadav
He is the third person from his family to join Bhartiya Janata Party after his father and yesteryear star of the bollywood Dharmendra and his stepmother Hema Malini. Hema Malini is MP from Mathura and contesting from the same constituency.
"The way my father joined politics and this family during the time of Atalji, today I am here to join (Narendra) Modiji," Deol said.
Later in a tweet, he thanked the Bharatiya Janata Party leaders for the warm welcome.
Sunny Deol may get a ticket to contest the Lok Sabha election from Gurdaspur in Punjab that was earlier represented by actor-turned-politician Vinod Khanna.
After Vinod Khanna's death in 2017, the Congress won the by-election in 2017.

Q: why is my RewriteRule not working I want to be able to Rewrite a following url:
www.mysite.com/en/contact

to something like this
www.mysite.com?l=en&p=contact

but keep the structure.
I tried the following RewriteRule:
 RewriteEngine On

 RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/?$ index.php?l=$1&p=$2 [L]

but the browser then wants to load all the included scripts like the css from
 www.mysite.com/en

How can I tell the browser, that it shouldn't follow the url link?
Or something like that
Thank you for your help
Chris

A: There are 2 methods to solve this:
1) Use base tag inside head tag

<base href='/'>

2)Use relative links

<link rel='stylesheet' href='/css/style.css'>

Here the browser looks for the CSS file in the folder in the root named CSS, whatever the URL request may be.
