The Begum: A Portrait Of Ra?Ana Liaquat Ali Khan, Pakistan's Pioneering First Lady
Begum Ra'ana Liaquat Ali Khan was the wife of Pakistan's first prime minister. She was born
Irene Margaret Pant in Kumaon in the early twentieth century. A generation earlier, her family
had converted to Christianity, and Irene grew up in the shadow of the Brahmin community's still
active outrage. Always intelligent, outgoing and independent, she was teaching economics in a
Delhi college when she met the dashing Nawazada Liaquat Ali Khan, a rising politician in the Muslim
League and an ardent champion of the cause for Pakistan.
She was immediately inspired by both the man and the idea; they married in 1933 and Irene Pant
became Ra'ana Liaquat Ali Khan. In August 1947 they left for Pakistan-led by Liaquat's mentor
and friend, Mohammad Ali Jinnah. Ra'ana threw herself into the work of nation building, but in
1951 Liaquat Ali Khan was assassinated, and the reasons for his murder are still shrouded in mystery.
Ra'ana continued to be active in public life-and her contribution to women's empowerment in
Pakistan is felt to this day.
Ra'ana's life story embodies all the major tropes of the Indian subcontinent's recent history.
Three religions-Hinduism, Christianity and Islam-had an immense impact on her life,
and she participated actively in all the major movements of her time-the freedom struggle,
the Pakistani movement and the fight for women's empowerment. She could see clearly what went
wrong after 1947 and wasn't afraid to say so. She spoke out openly against the rise of religious
conservatism in Pakistan and the growing role of corruption. She occasionally met with opposition,
but she never gave up. It is this spirit that The Begum captures.

Analytics, 03 April 2021
U.S. stocks closed mostly higher on Thursday, as technology stocks led the S&P 500 index above 4,000 for the first time. Investors were buoyed by data showing the U.S. manufacturing sector expanding at its fastest pace in 38 years ahead of Friday's U.S. employment report.
On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 171.66 points, or 0.5%, to 33,153.21.
The S&P 500 gained 46.98 points or 1.2%, to 4,019.87, a new record.
The Nasdaq Composite added 233.23 points, or 1.8%, to 13,480.11.
Major indexes posted quarterly gains, with the Dow up 7.8%, the S&P 500 up 5.8%, and the Nasdaq up 2.8%. The small-cap Russell 2000 jumped more than 12%.
President Bidens Infrastructure plan. Investors digested President Joe Biden's $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan announced late Wednesday as well as data on the U.S. manufacturing sector and weekly jobless benefit claims. The infrastructure proposal is offset by tax hikes, including a rise in the corporate tax rate to 28% from 21%, an increase in the global minimum tax on U.S. multinational companies, the establishment of what's called a 15% minimum tax on book income, the elimination of tax preferences for fossil fuels and an increase in enforcement on corporations.
Analysts noted that investors will be keeping a close eye on developments on the tax front. The larger impact to markets will be whether or not the corporate tax rate is raised to 28% — or somewhere in between there and the current 21% level — and whether or not a global minimum tax on corporations can be established.
Economic data. On Thursday, the Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing activity showed rose to 64.7% from 60.8% in the prior month, marking the highest reading since 1983. The report followed IHS Markit's U.S. Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index, which came in at 59.1 in March, up from 58.6 in February, marking the second-highest level on record. For both gauges, a reading above 50 indicates growth in activity.
Unemployment data: Initial jobless claims jumped 61,000 to 719,000 in the week ended March 27, the U.S. Labor Department reported. However, some analysts are forecasting that claims and overall employment will fall again soon as the economy speeds up, governments loosen restrictions and companies seek to hire more workers. The claims numbers came ahead of Friday's eagerly awaited March jobs report, which could show that the U.S. added a million or more jobs based on some optimistic estimates.
While tech shares rose Thursday, more cyclically sensitive stocks outpaced tech and other growth stocks in the first quarter as investors reacted to aggressive fiscal stimulus efforts that have fueled expectations for a near-term boom in economic growth and the potential for a sharp rise in inflationary pressures.
Shares of Micron Technology Inc. closed up 4.8% (at $92.41) after the chip maker's earnings and outlook topped Wall Street estimates. Micron and Western Digital Corp. are each exploring a potential deal for Kioxia Holdings Corp. that could value the Japanese semiconductor company at around $30 billion, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. Western Digital shares were up 6.9%, closing at $71.37.
Johnson & Johnson Inc. on Wednesday acknowledged a batch of its COVID-19 vaccine produced by one of its manufacturing partners "did not meet quality standards," and said it would provide more experts to oversee production. Johnson & Johnson shares finished down 0.9%, closing at $162.83.
Frontier Group Holdings Inc. the parent of low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines, said its initial public offering was priced at $19 a share, at the low end of a $19 to $21 price range.
Residential real-estate brokerage Compass priced its initial public offering at $18, the low end of an already reduced range. Compass had cut its price range to an $18-$19 range from $23 to $26 and cut the number of shares on offer to 25 million from 36 million.
Movie chain and meme stock AMC Entertainment Holdings execs said that they would offer 500 million shares offered. Shares closed down 8.3% Thursday.
Microsoft rose 2.8% after the company's multibillion-dollar deal to build customized versions of its HoloLens goggles for the U.S. Army was announced Wednesday. Microsoft shares closed at $242.35.
European stocks kicked off the new quarter with gains on Thursday, as optimism around a new U.S. government spending plan and strong factory activity data out of the eurozone eclipsed concerns about another lockdown in France.
The pan-European STOXX 600 index rose 0.5%, hovering just 2 points below its all-time high. The benchmark ended the first quarter with a 7.7% rise - its fourth straight quarter of gains.
The German DAX climbed 0.6% to hit a record high, while the UK's FTSE 100 also gained 0.6%.
Despite slow vaccination programmes and a fresh pandemic wave hitting several countries, European markets have recovered almost all of their pandemic-driven losses on strong manufacturing activity and a bounce back in economy-linked stocks such as banks and energy.
Data showed eurozone factory activity growth galloped at its fastest pace in the nearly 24-year history of a leading business survey in March.
British food delivery firm Deliveroo's shares inched down 0.8% after plunging by as much as 30% in their trading debut on Wednesday. German peer Delivery Hero jumped 3.4% after Dutch tech investment company Prosus NV raised its stake in the company.
France's blue-chip CAC 40 lagged after the latest lockdown announcement.
Swiss lender Credit Suisse rose 2.5% but was on track for its worst week since March 2020, hit by worries about the fallout from Archegos Capital's dramatic meltdown.
Asian markets finished mixed as of the most recent closing prices. The Shanghai Composite gained 1.14%, while the Nikkei 225 led the Hang Seng lower. They fell 2.07% and 0.27% respectively.
Oil futures rose $2.29, or 3.9%, to settle at $61.45 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Oil prices rallied Thursday after OPEC+ decided to gradually raise crude production from May through July, in a deal where Saudi Arabia will also rollback its voluntary cuts during the three months. However, analysts believe the OPEC decision is a risky move amidst the uncertainty in oil demand.
Gold futures traded higher, with the April contract climbing $12.80, or nearly 0.8%, to settle at $1,728.40 an ounce, after a 1.8% gain a day ago.
The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note slid 6.9 basis points to 1.680%. Yields and bond prices move in opposite directions.
The ICE U.S. Dollar Index, a measure of the currency against a basket of six major rivals, was off 0.3% at 92.93.
Sentiment for the dollar has improved in recent weeks, while Treasury yields have spiked, as the Biden administration's planned stimulus of over $2 trillion and a rapid COVID-19 vaccine rollout spurred economic optimism as well as inflation fears.
The dollar last traded at 110.62 yen, not far from its strongest level in a year.
Against the euro, the dollar was quoted at $1.1777, near a five-month high.
The greenback was steady at 0.9417 Swiss franc, after losing 0.2% on Thursday.
The British pound was little changed at $1.3843.
In the cryptocurrency market, bitcoin briefly rose above $60,000 for the first time in two weeks but then pared gains to trade up 1.49% at $59,601.
Rival digital currency ether rose 1.39% to $1,994.
U.S. stock exchanges will be closed in observance of Good Friday and those in Europe will also be closed for Easter Monday.

When you commit to something you are saying that your involvement is non-negotiable. You commit yourself not only to succeeding, but to doing the behaviors that allow and enable you to succeed. You will absolutely get it done. You keep going even when you face setbacks. You persist in the face of fears and obstacles. You're in this for the long haul. This (whatever it is, is HAPPENING).
Belief is saying: I can do this.
Belief is feeling that success is possible and feeling that what you are working for is actually worth it. It is also a feeling that you are worth it. That whatever is going to happen after all of this work is something you deserve. You trust the process and understand that all of this won't happen overnight. Even when things don't seem to be going well, you carryon. You continue to act as if you are the person you want to be, until you become that person.
Once we commit and believe we can fully focus on what it is we want to achieve. You're "in the zone" and all your attention is directed at achieving your goals.
Here we can focus on what really matters.
Remember all of this can't happen if you aren't ready for it. Mental readiness involves a state of relaxed alertness and openness.
You're open to new experiences, excited to practice your skills, and prepared to learn and grow. You aim to make the most out of everything that happens to you. You view everything as a chance to gain insight and self-knowledge, and to reflect and change where you need to. When you're mentally ready, mistakes are just learning opportunities, not failures.
Life happens. The world is full of things ready to knock you off your path. Stay on track.
If you fall down, get back up. If you screw up, learn from it then clean the slate. If you get distracted, learn to re-focus. Stay alert for the good stuff, forget the bad stuff, and keep moving forward.
Remember that everything we do is chance to learn something about yourself. Making a mistake is only teaching you where you can improve for next time.
Set your goals high. Know WHY you want to achieve them. Commit yourself to them. Believe in yourself and DO IT.

A fire at Ukraine's largest nuclear power plant has been put out
Ukrainian authorities said a fire that broke out at a nuclear power plant early Friday amid heavy shelling by Russian forces has now been extinguished.
Here's what happened:
When did the fire start? Ukrainian authorities said about 2:30 a.m. local time Friday that a fire had broken out at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, located in Enerhodar, southeastern Ukraine. The plant is the largest of its kind in Ukraine and contains six of the country's 15 nuclear energy reactors, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
When did the blaze stop? The Ukrainian State Emergency Service said the fire at the plant's training building was extinguished at 6.20 a.m. No deaths or injuries were reported, according to the statement.
Are they still fighting? Fighting has since stopped in the area, a spokesperson for the power plant told CNN. In a Facebook post early Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of intentionally firing at the nuclear plant — and urged European leaders to "wake up now" and stop Russian forces "before this becomes a nuclear disaster."
How serious is the situation? It's hard to say since there is still a lot we don't know. But the plant has not sustained any "critical" damage, the spokesperson for the facility said. The fire has not affected any "essential" equipment, and staff are taking action to mitigate any damage, the IAEA said, citing Ukrainian authorities.
Are we seeing any radiation spikes? No — nuclear regulators and government bodies in the United States and Ukraine say radiation levels appear normal.
What are the risks? The worst-case scenario would be if a fire or attack reached the reactors, disrupted their cooling system and caused a meltdown, which would release large amounts of radioactivity. However, Graham Allison, professor at the Belfer Center, Harvard University, told CNN early Friday that "not all fires in a power plant, have catastrophic consequences."

20-year jail term sought for educators on hunger strike
by TurkeyPurge | May 24, 2017 | Today in Crackdown
An indictment prepared by the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office seeks a jail sentence of 20 years for Semih Özakça and Nuriye Gülmen, two educators who went on a hunger strike after they were fired by government decrees in the aftermath of a July 15 coup attempt.
According to Diken news portal, the two educators are accused of "attempting to destroy the unity of the state and nation" and "membership in an armed terrorist organization."
The educators were detained after police searches of their homes in the early hours of Monday. They were referred to the Ankara Courthouse on Tuesday with the prosecutor demanding their arrest on the 76th of their hunger strike.
Gülmen was fired from Konya Selçuk University for her alleged ties to the Gülen movement. Özakça was a teacher at a primary school in Turkey's eastern province of Mardin before he was purged over ties to a terrorist organization.
The two protested for months in the same area of Ankara before they started their hunger strike. Both have been detained several times due to their protests.
Thousands of academics and teachers have been removed from their jobs since the July 15 coup attempt as part of a post-coup purge launched by the government under the pretext of an anti-coup fight.

Family Says, Massam Was Not In His Right Mind When He Committed The Murder
And while Corozal police are investigating the circumstance surrounding the death of Mark Massam and have detained Carlos Casanova for the murder, family members of the victim claim that their loved one was set up.
Doris Massam – Sister of deceased.
"According to Police he was a target because he came out from jail in January and he got shot already and nothing came out of it, he got chopped already and nothing come out of it so now he is dead and I think they are glad."
"Do you believe that, we know that he has had his troubles with police but do you believe that because of that police didn't treat him as a citizen who deserve justice and who deserve the protection of the law?"
"Of course, police didn't do their work properly because according got what I heard that the police was at the scene when the man was chopping my brother so as they reached there they could had stop it, maybe the matter wouldn't be so worst he still could got a chance to live but they just left him right there to dead, but if you see somebody not stopping what next to make you do that is the only thing the shot man without not even doing nothing to nobody and they shoot so why they never shoot the man as the got to the site and they say stop and the man don't want to stop."
"Prior to this incident last night did your brother had any type of conflict with this person that killed him?"
"Well according to what we hear is like a set up, they call him to kill him, I haven't heard he had any conflict because it is from back on they chopped him, they chopped him in his head and a big hole is in his head and neck and no finger at all."
As family members prepare to bury their loved one the accused's family, the Cassanovas claim that their son suffered from mental problems and that could have very well been a factor that caused him to commit the crime. Today in an interview with the accused's father, Carlos Cassanova, he told us about the conversation he had with his son the last time he saw him.
Carlos Casanova – Father of the Accuse.
"He was right in my house listening to music and had the television on, he, me and his other and I told my wife lets go to rest we need to get up early tomorrow and them she told me to ask my son if he is going out and so he told me dad I am going with my friends and I told him just to take care and he told me that he was not going to take long, not too long after fifteen minutes a lady come with a car and started to cry and she called on us and we came outside and she told us your son just killed a man and when I ran out to the site the police man was there and he told me done you cannot see your son but long before I told the police man and my son to get an agreement to pick up my son and take him to the hospital because he is not correct from his mind."
"Have you seen or spoken to your son since the incident last night?"
"No sir because when the police brakes me up this side when the accident happened we went to the hospital and the police man told us to just to go home and rest far from your house in a secure place because them man will come looking for you."
"Retaliation is not a part of it, right now we try to get my brother to rest in peace and get it over with and the police are doing their work all I want justice come out of it."
The deceased, Mark Massam leaves two daughters behind.

U.S. Embassy Bujumbura, Burundi
The United States recognized the Kingdom of Burundi in 1961 when the United Nations ended the trusteeship that had been administered by Belgium. Following independence, Burundi experienced political assassinations, ethnic violence, and cyclical periods of armed conflict; several governments were installed through coups. The 2000 Arusha Peace and Reconciliation Agreement provided a negotiated settlement framework that, along with later ceasefire agreements, led to the end of the 1993-2006 civil war. President Nkurunziza's decision to seek a third presidential term in 2015 sparked protests in the capital. The resulting violence and political and economic crises resulted in massive refugee flows to neighboring countries.
The United States supports the achievement of long-term stability, prosperity, and good governance in Burundi through broad, inclusive reconciliation; humanitarian assistance; economic growth; and the promotion of political openness and expansion of democratic freedoms. The United States supports the East African Community-facilitated Burundian dialogue and other conflict resolution efforts within Burundi. The United States seeks to facilitate Burundi's deeper integration into regional and international markets as a means to promote sustainable economic development. The majority of U.S. foreign assistance in Burundi contributes to improving the health and food security sectors, specifically to programs that support the Government of Burundi's efforts to combat HIV/AIDS and malaria, improve maternal and child health, and reduce the high rate of chronic malnutrition. Today the U.S. embassy is in Bujumbura. For more information on our relationship with Burundi, please click here.

Conservative large-angle collision operator for runaway avalanches
Poster (konferens), 2015
Avalanche runaway generation is the phenomenon whereby runaway electrons (REs) are generated due to large-angle collisions of thermal electrons with existing REs, leading to an exponential growth of the runaway current. These large-angle collisions are not described by the Fokker-Planck operator commonly employed to model collisions in plasmas, and have previously been accounted for by the addition of a particle source term in the kinetic equation [M. Rosenbluth et al., 1997, Nucl. Fusion 37, 1355; S. C. Chiu et al. 1998, Nucl. Fusion 38, 1711]. In this contribution we describe a new large-angle collision operator, derived as the high-energy limit of the linearized relativistic Boltzmann collision integral. This operator generalizes previous models of large-angle collisions to account for the full momentum dependence of the primary distribution and conserves particle number, momentum and energy, while also avoiding double counting of small- and large-angle collisions. The new operator is implemented in the 2D Fokker-Planck solver CODE [M. Landreman et al. 2014, Comp. Phys. Comm. 185, 847], with which we investigate its effect on the evolution of the runaway distribution.

Air Force C-123 fliers exposed to Agent Orange Recognized by IOM!
By LtCol Eugene B Richardson, USA (Retired) BA, MDiv, EdM, MS0 Comments
Retired Air Force Maj. Wes Carter joined by the members of the C-123 Veterans Association worked for years to have the Veterans Affairs Department (VA) recognize illnesses they've developed from exposure to Agent Orange (AO) in planes that were used for spraying AO during the Vietnam War and then for other missions long after the War.
His determination and dedication to the members of the Air Force is well above and beyond the call of duty as most people would have given up long ago given what he discovered and fought in the whole system of the VA and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) with the influence of those whose values one could question. If you want to know what he discovered let me know and we will send it to you.
But the GOOD news is that Major Carter has been successful in getting the Institute of Medicine to acknowledge that indeed these reserve pilots who flew the AO contaminated air craft, were exposed to significant levels of AO and have suffered for years with the diseases known to be connected to such exposure and as Veterans without any acknowledgement or help from anyone!
What Major Carter in his fight discovered is so sad and an insult for our great country and the sad part is those who used misinformation (that is the nice word) will not be held accountable by anyone.
Here is the article on the decision by the IOM from the Military Times Report and in a report by the Institute of Medicine.
A federal science panel has concluded that veterans who flew U.S. C-123 aircraft after the Vietnam War risked exposure to the herbicide. The planes had been used during the war to spray the defoliant.
Air Force Reserve members who flew C-123 aircraft after they were used for spraying Agent Orange in Vietnam were exposed to the toxic herbicide and may be at risk for developing related diseases, according to a federal study released Friday.
An Institute of Medicine scientific panel comprised of public health experts stated "with confidence" that some of the 1,500 to 2,100 Air Force Reserve personnel who flew on C-123s after the war were exposed to chemical levels that exceed health guidelines for workers.
Subsequently, they may face increased risk for developing illnesses associated with exposure to the components of Agent Orange, according to the study.
The findings — from a group led by Harvard Public Health expert Robert Herrick — are a hard-fought victory for a small group of former service members who have lobbied for years to be included among those presumed to be exposed to Agent Orange as a result of their military service.
Led by retired Air Force Maj. Wes Carter, the members of the C-123 Veterans Association have pushed the Veterans Affairs Department to recognize illnesses they've developed and say are related to exposure.
But VA consistently has maintained that trace amounts of dioxin on the metal surfaces in the aircraft, which were stripped of their spraying apparatus after the war, would not pose a threat to troops because it is not "biologically available for skin absorption or inhalation."
The VA's stand, according to the department's C-123 exposure website is that "although residual TCDD — the toxic substance in Agent Orange — may be detected in C-123 aircraft by sophisticated laboratory techniques many years after its use, the [VA] concluded that the existing scientific studies and reports support a low probability that TCDD was biologically available in these aircraft. Therefore, the potential for exposure to TCDD from flying or working in contaminated C-123 aircraft years after the Vietnam War is unlikely to have occurred at levels that could affect health."
But according to Carter and the Vietnam Veterans of America, at least 10 C-123 crewmen who flew in the aircraft after the war have died of cancers commonly linked to Agent Orange.
And with many of his former colleagues ill or dying, Carter expanded his lobbying efforts to veterans' service organizations, Congress and academia to help obtain health care and, if those sickened rate it, compensation.
In early 2014, VA paid the IOM $500,000 to study the issue and put the controversy to rest.
But the report's conclusions do not support VA's long-maintained position.
In developing the report, panel members reviewed existing evidence, public input, interviews with experts and existing tests performed on the aircraft.
The group found that while the evidence is limited, the data indicate that the Reserve members could have been exposed through multiple routes and "some reservists quite likely experienced non-trivial increases in their risks of adverse health outcomes."
The findings, which the VA received Thursday, have stirred action within the Veterans Affairs Department. The VA has 60 days to respond to the report, but on receipt of it Thursday, officials held the first meeting of a working group to address related issues and are planning follow-up action.
Deputy Secretary Sloan Gibson attended the working group meeting, and VA Undersecretary for Benefits Allison Hickey was to be briefed Friday on the findings as well, according to VA officials.
"I can't speak for [Hickey] but I know it is an important issue for her," said
VA Assistant Secretary for Policy and Planning Dr. Linda Schwartz during a public briefing on the report at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C.
Schwartz said in addition to determining who has been affected, VA must also assess whether legislative action is needed to offer them health care and benefits.
From 1962 to 1971, C-123s sprayed more than 10 million gallons of Agent Orange on enemy encampments and the dense jungles of Southeast Asia.
Following the war, they were assigned to squadrons at Westover Air Reserve Base, Massachusetts; Pittsburgh Air Reserve Base; and Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base, Ohio.
One C-123 nicknamed "Patches" is on display at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.
But before Patches could be moved into the museum in 1994, it was deemed too contaminated to go on display and scrubbed down by a hazardous materials crew.
The Air Force also destroyed 18 C-123s in 2010, cutting them down and smelting them out of concerns about potential liability for Agent Orange, according to Air Force documents.
In its report, the panel did not weigh in on whether the VA should approve compensation claims filed by C-123 veterans but noted in strong, unequivocal language that the veterans were exposed.
"The committee is firm in its conviction that Air Force reservists working in C-123s were exposed (in the technical sense of the word of having bodily contact with the chemicals) to the components of Agent Orange to some extent. The committee members could not stand behind any particular exposure estimates produced by manipulating the existing data, but they are clear in their finding that the [evidence is] fully consistent with exposures that exceeded international guidelines."
Following the briefing, Carter, who has cancer and heart disease he believes is linked to Agent Orange exposure, said he was relieved by the findings and hopes for swift action from VA.
"[Retired Air Force Brig.] General Hickey said she'd go by the decision of the IOM … [VA] needs to act quickly, because this is not solely about compensation. These are veterans who should have been entitled to medical care at the VA and those doors were shut," Carter said.
He noted that as a military retiree who was injured during the Persian Gulf War, he already is eligible for VA care. The fight, he said, was for those who are gravely ill and have no health benefits or can't work because of their illnesses.
With the new decision by the IOM panel, he hopes they'll get help, he said.
"This was my last trip to D.C.," he said. "And it was worth it."

How to Pick the Best Multivitamin for You
Because you can't always eat a 100-percent clean diet...
By Janice Graham
and Alanna Nunez
Updated on July 2, 2019
Photo: Towfiqu Photography/Getty Images
You don't head to the gym or out for a jog without preparing all of the essentials: sneakers, headphones, water bottle. But do you prep for your day with one of the best multivitamins for women?
Chances are, you don't pop one daily—almost half of women under age 40 don't, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Big mistake, since more than 90 percent of women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s don't meet their vitamin and mineral requirements through diet alone—and you need that multi even more if you exercise. (Science confirms this to be true: Falling short in these seven vitamins can make your workout feel tougher.)
"Vigorous workouts raise your body's vitamin and mineral requirements, so it's practically guaranteed that you won't get enough nutrients from food," says sports nutritionist Dawn Weatherwax-Fall, R.D., coauthor of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Sports Nutrition.
Keep reading to learn about the surprising new reasons that a multi is a must, plus how to find the best multivitamins for women (we're sharing label details to look for and naming brands!).
The Best Multivitamin for Women: How to Choose
Drugstores carry more vitamins than nail-polish shades, but that doesn't mean you can pick just any old one. Consumer Lab recently found that more than half of the 21 multivitamins they tested didn't contain the nutrient amounts listed on the label. Even worse, some capsules failed to release ingredients properly or were contaminated with toxic lead. (
How Safe Are Dietary Supplements Really?
So how do you choose the best multivitamin for women? The highest-quality products tend to be store brands from major chains (Target, Wal-Mart, and Rite Aid) or big-name companies (One A Day, Vitamin World, Centrum, and Puritan's Pride). In addition, check the label for these three criteria:
At least 600 IUs vitamin D. Don't settle for the 400 IUs in some multis. You need more of this supervitamin, which promotes strong bones, boosts immunity, regulates blood pressure and, in one study, was associated with a 50 percent lower risk of breast cancer. (Think you need more? Here's how to pick the best vitamin D supplement.)
18 milligrams iron. Young women need this amount to make up for what they lose every month through menstruation, yet many multis have no iron at all because men and older women can get too much. (It's an especially important mineral for active women!)
400 micrograms folic acid. Anything less than this daily dose may not be enough to help prevent birth defects.
5 Reasons to Make One of These Best Multivitamins for Women a Daily Habit
Curb cravings. A multi may make you less hungry when you're dieting, studies reveal. Researchers think that it short-circuits the body's natural response to calorie cutting, which is to boost appetite to counter vitamin deficiencies.
Keep energy up. A good vitamin prevents low iron, which makes you drag during workouts and may also cause hair loss. One in 10 women is low in iron, with vegetarians, vegans, endurance athletes, and anyone with heavy periods being especially vulnerable. (
Iron-Rich Foods That Aren't Steak)
Safeguard your heart. The ingredients in many of the best multivitamins for women have been linked to a lower heart disease risk. But it's an aid to—not a substitute for—fruits and veggies, which may deliver other disease-fighting compounds.
Stave off breast cancer. Taking a multi may cancel out the breast cancer risk incurred by drinking alcohol. The supplement may correct alcohol-triggered deficits of B vitamins that encourage tumor development, research shows.
Get pregnant. Multi users have a 41 percent lower risk of ovulatory infertility, finds a Harvard School of Public Health study
Multivitamin Myths: Fact vs. Fiction
Pop quiz: If you work out hard, you need tons of supplements, right? Not necessarily, but certain capsules and products can help your endurance on those long runs. Here, some common myths, and what you really need to know. (
How to Buy the Best Anti-Aging Supplements—That Are Actually Legit
True or False: Athletes should take extra B vitamin supplements.
False. Research shows that intense exercise increases your body's need for several B vitamins, which help repair muscle damage and reduce levels of homocysteine, an amino acid linked to increased heart disease risk that rises in people who exercise for more than 12 hours weekly. But don't pop a separate B supplement. The best multivitamins for women who lead active lifestyles include at least 100 percent of the daily values (DV) for riboflavin, B6, B12, and folic acid, says Melinda M. Manore, Ph.D., R.D., a professor of nutrition and exercise sciences at Oregon State University in Corvallis.
Working out puts you at special risk for vitamin D deficiency.
True. Over half of women don't get enough D, but athletes are especially likely to have low levels. Scientists think it's because they have another healthy habit: slathering on more sunscreen than the average woman (UV rays are a key source of D). Low D may affect muscle function and bone health (it's crucial for absorbing calcium to protect bones during high-impact sports). All women should aim for at least 1,000 IUs daily, but active women need up to 2,000 IUs. When choosing a D supplement, be sure to factor in what you get from your multi and calcium supplements.
All those different energy bars do the same thing.
False. Many bars are high in protein and fat, which may upset your stomach—the last thing you need in a marathon. You need a bar that packs highly digestible carbs, which convert quickly to glucose to fuel working muscles. Have 30 to 60 grams of carbs per hour to keep you truckin' (one good bet: Power Bar Performance Bars). After exercise, a bar with 6 to 10 grams of protein (such as a Clif bar) will help rebuild broken muscle fibers. The best bars have sodium and potassium to replace salts you sweat out but aren't overloaded with vitamins you already get from your multi. (
Is It Healthy to Eat an Protein Bar Every Day
Common Questions About Multivitamins for Women
"Why does my multivitamin turn my pee such a bright shade of yellow?"
"Contrary to common belief, it doesn't mean you're urinating away nutrients," says Weatherwax-Fall. "It's a healthy sign that your body is metabolizing the B vitamins in your multi and protcessing out any excess."
"Why do I need extra calcium?"
Multis don't have the recommended 1,000 milligrams because the pill would be too big to swallow (this mineral has large molecules!). To get the calcium you need, take a separate supplement of 200 to 400 mg that also has 100 to 200 IUs of vitamin D to aid absorption. Just don't pop several calcium pills simultaneously or at the same time as your multi: Your body can absorb calcium in small doses only. (Bonus: The Best Calcium Sources For Vegans)
"Can I OD on vitamins if I also eat fortified cereal?"
Yes. You could get too much folic acid. So stick with your daily multi and skip the cereal, or take your multi every other day. (Hint: To remember which day to take your multi, jot it down in your planner.)
"Do vitamins expire?"
You bet. (Just like sunscreen!) When buying, make sure the expiration date is at least a year away. Once you bring the bottle home, store it in a cool place out of direct sunlight.
"Does it matter when I take my multi?"
Yes. It's best to take it after a meal, because the food in your belly boosts your body's uptake of nutrients.

The time had come to soak up some sun.
Following Justin Timberlake's Trolls press tour and between stretches in Jessica Biel's shooting schedule, the ultra-busy couple took a much-needed break in the ultimate tropical destination: the Caribbean.
The parents to one-and-a-half-year-old son, Silas, logged some serious beach time following the Nov. 8 election. On Nov. 9, the couple, fresh off their four-year-anniversary (Oct. 19), was spotted basking on the coast in their stylish swimwear.
Biel, 34, showed off her sleek post-baby bod in a black racer-back bikini top and and matching bottoms, exposing the tiny dove tattoo on her right hip. The actress left her dark locks down by her shoulders and accessorized her beachside look with a set of gold pendant-bearing chains.
Biel's 35-year-old hubby exposed some tats of his own on the beach, stepping in-sync with his wife in a set of gray-and-black striped swim trunks.
This mid-autumn escape seems incredibly well deserved. Enjoy, you two!

Album Pick
Pop-Rap
H-Bom
D' Real Side
AllMusic Review by David Gonzales
In 1999, Philippine rapper H-Bom released D' Real Side. H-Bom raps entirely in English, and his music can be compared to the non-threatening, entertaining rapping of Will Smith. H-Bom isn't mean or thuggish, though his testosterone makes itself known at times. He raps in a low, sensual voice, and also sings on many of the songs. His rapping is confident, as heard on the opening "I'm Fallen," which also features a guest female singer singing a tender, soulful line. "Why" has a flashy horn section playing the instrumental line from the film The Pink Panther, which weaves around the exuberant rapping of H-Bom. Another imaginative arrangement is heard on "Will I - C - U?," which contains a string section playing a beautiful Baroque-style movement, blending majestically with the female backing vocals. "The Unknown" has the hardest edge of any song on the album. H-Bom's rapping here is grittier, and the searing guitar solo adds a tough edge. Mostly, though, the music is accessible and non-threatening. D' Real Side is a well-conceived, enjoyable project.

After three and a half decades of economic reforms, radical changes have occurred in all aspects of life in China. In an authoritarian society, these changes are mediated significantly through the power of language, carefully controlled by the political elites. Discourse, as a way of speaking and doing things, has become an indispensable instrument for the authority to manage a fluid, increasingly fragmented, but highly dynamic and yet fragile society. Written by an international team of leading scholars, this volume examines socio-political transformations of contemporary Chinese society through a systematic account, analysis and assessment of its salient discourses and their production, circulation, negotiation, and consequences. In particular, the volume focuses on the interplay of politics and media. The book's intended readership is academics and students of Chinese studies, language and discourse, and media and communication studies.

"This book is to be welcomed as a contribution to elucidating important discursive aspects of the major transformations which are taking place in China."
Norman Fairclough, Lancaster University
" Discourse, Politics and Media in Contemporary China offers a radical, innovative and timely analysis of the production and flow of discourses in modern China. Drawing together a wide range of perspectives from a team of renowned international scholars, this volume is an important contribution to our understanding of how communications, the media and politics interact with, and impact on each other in the PRC."
Gary Rawnsley, University of Aberystwyth, UK
"Every polity has its political language, often opaque to those outside the policy world, yet something which analysts need to construe. None more so than China's, where the world's oldest tradition of statecraft has been infused with communist discourse and is being further injected with the jargon of market liberalism. Understanding this lore is essential to interpreting the country's political direction and its leaders' rationalisations. These scholars have given us invaluable multidisciplinary exegeses of many aspects of this fascinating subject."
Hugo de Burgh, University of Westminster / Tsinghua University
"This edited volume presents an in-depth and comprehensive analysis of China's socio-political transformations through the lens of CDA. Covering a wide range of topics, the volume effectively demonstrates the complexity of political and media discourses in contemporary China and offers a systematic account of these discourses' production, circulation, and (potential) implications. Throughout the volume, the legitimization effect of discourse has been given special attention and the relevant discussions have made an important contribution to our understanding of how discourse has become a key "battleground" in China's post-reform era. As such, this volume can be an informative reading for academics and students in communication and media studies, Chinese studies, and language and discourse studies. [...] The volume is ideal reading for academics interested in political and media discourses in contemporary China, and it can be useful recommended reading for related graduate courses as well."
Sibo Chen, Simon Fraser University, on Linguist List 26.405, 21 January 2015
"This volume might be taken as a useful reference for researchers and students interested in CDA, media and communication studies, politics and studies of contemporary China."

Fan's Corner: Everton – It's the hope that kills
· 17th April 2022
Misha Pemberthy
"It's not the despair […], I can handle the despair- it's the hope" John Cleese in Clockwise.
A defining moment for me as an Everton fan this season was the City game in late November, sitting with a pint in the Chequers and watching Sterling score to put City ahead just before the half. Two 60-year-old Everton fans came up to me as I bought a direly needed top-up pint and started chatting. "Give up", one of them said, "Everton are finished". They continued talking wax lyrical about the Kendall era of the 80s, a silverware dense era of Everton history my dad experienced when he was my age. However, at this point in November, Everton were sat in a comfortable 11th and my only gripe was that we weren't challenging for Europe. I was still readily telling anyone who would listen, "Demarai Gray, signing of the season!". I told them "Keep your chins up, there's some way left of the league yet".
It was only when I returned home for the Christmas vac that I realised I had gone the entire Michaelmas term without seeing Everton pick up a point, but even with that hope soon came to the rescue; Everton's first game in the vac, a 2-1 win against Arsenal, quickly convinced me that maybe me being in Oxford was just a bad luck charm. Indeed, being in Oxford did seem to be a bad luck charm as Hilary did not improve Everton's form. Aside from the cup, there was just the one win against similarly free-falling Leeds. In fact, from 0th week in Michaelmas until the 8th week of Hilary, Everton only picked up 8 points in the league, the lowest total in not just the Premier League but in the five top leagues in Europe.
Despite this, hope persisted, and I was certain with a change of manager, Frank would turn things around. Hope does funny things to a football fan.
Despite this, hope persisted, and I was certain with a change of manager, Frank would turn things around. Hope does funny things to a football fan. After beating Vanarama National side Boreham Wood in the FA Cup, I started researching Wembley tickets, only to be promptly humbled by 4 haunting goals from Palace. Similarly, anyone in a Spotify blend with me will attest to a persistent presence of "Spirit of the Blues", despite the lyrics "we don't know the meaning of losing" acting as a point of concern this season rather than a celebration.
Following a loss to Burnley in a six-pointer on the 6th of April we sat as firm relegation candidates, with a singular point between us and the drop zone- despair firmly set in. Hope wasn't in the picture, for me the only positive I was able to find was that Oxford United's battle for a playoff place in League One meant an Everton away day to the Kassam Stadium was on the cards- a spoonful of sugar helps the Everton go down? It was a loss that hurt double as in the same week financials had been released showing the dire economic state Everton stood in, a situation that would be bad in the Premier League, but catastrophic in the Championship.
However less than a week later, in standard Everton fashion, the dangerous feeling of hope crept in again with a trio of unexpected events- a heroic 1-0 win versus Manchester United in tandem with Burnley losing to Norwich lifted us up 4 points above relegation. Days later an unanticipated Dyche sacking left Burnley sitting in 18th with no one at the wheel. I know that if we do eventually go down it is this hope that will kill Everton fans, as we mourn what could have been. As it stands though, hope is convincing me Anthony Gordon is the best youngster in the league, Alex Iwobi is a force of nature, and Jordan Pickford is a brick wall between the sticks. Hope is fatal for an Everton fan, but at the moment it is the one thing keeping me going.

Everything you need to know about COP15 30th January 2023


DUSHANBE -- Wolves have killed two women in eastern Tajikistan, prompting complaints from residents that they have been unable to defend themselves against wolf attacks since local authorities confiscated their hunting rifles.
Umeda Yusupova, a spokeswoman for the Tajik government's Committee on Emergency Situations and Civil Defense, told RFE/RL that the deadly wolf attack took place in the early morning hours of March 7 in Tajikistan's Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous region.
Local residents there told RFE/RL that the two victims of the wolf attack were 83-year-old Amalbegim Tashrifbekova and her 55-year-old daughter Mastibegim Davandova.
There have been other deadly wolf attacks in the area in recent years.
In July 2017, wolves killed a 3-year-old child there.
In early 2013, separate wolf attacks killed an elderly woman and severely injured another elderly woman in the region.
Wolves are especially aggressive during the winter months and often attack villagers in Tajikistan's mountainous regions.
Authorities in the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous region confiscated the hunting rifles of villagers several years ago after imposing a ban on the hunting wolves.


You won't find a reporter who questions the importance of accuracy. It's chief among the journalistic creeds.
Many, too, would understand the importance of relevancy to the craft — choosing to share what fits their publication's audience and voice (though it takes some savvy to make those decisions consistently).
But what remains still foreign, even controversial, is the idea that reporting should be done with productivity in mind. A journalist should be able to say why they're pursuing a story: what goals will be reached because of it?
For some this will resemble some chatter of the self-described 'solutions journalism' movement, which I am fond of, or fit the 'designing for audience behavior' prompt currently a part of the #jcarn blog circle.
Still the concern that idea brings up is that a journalist can drift into advocate, an important but very distinct and partisan effort. This runs counter to a journalistic belief that all information should be public, transparency disinfects and let the people figure it out. (I disagree.) A journalist should be an important tool for all parties in a community: the narrator of trends and provider of context, curation and information. That's true. Journalist is mirror not decider.
So no, a journalist ought not explicitly say my piece is productive for this policy end or this group's aims. But a journalist should say: why is this reporting I'm doing productive for my community to better understand itself?
So I challenge the notion that all information needs to be shared. Rather you should get in the habit of challenging every story with the question of whether it is accurate, relevant and productive.
I found out a councilman is contracting a creative agency to manage a Twitter account. Put this in context: do others do the same? How does the budget line item compare to other expenditures? What work does the company do? Does it result in efficiencies?
I got tipped off on an extra-marital affair a nonprofit leader I report on is having. Does this represent a conflict with any public positions or stances she makes? How well known is she? How widespread is this known?
I received a leaked proposal describing a stealth company's revenue projections. Will leadership confirm the numbers and offer additional context? Will leadership discuss lessons from the experience? How experienced is its founding team? How high-profile is their work?
I was forwarded a photo of a rebranded transit station. Will the transit agency confirm the change? Do you have any sources confirming timeline or accuracy?
I was copied on an email squabble between two civic group leaders. Do you know both well enough to understand the backstory? Is this part of a broader trend or division or an isolated fight? How many people does this impact?
Asking these questions can slow down the process, run against your instincts to get everything out fast and ask questions later. But you can be more than that.
That's why in our newsroom we say our reporting must be Accurate, Relevant and Productive.
This is the guiding principle we must instill in our product, particularly as I distance myself from daily editorial decisions. It's something I speak about with great pride.

Carbon and carbon isotope mass balance in the Neoproterozoic Earth system

The Neoproterozoic Earth system was significantly different from the modern world, as evidenced by extraordinary carbon isotope fluctuations that defy conventional explanation. Because Earth's carbon and oxygen budgets must be balanced on very long time scales (>105 years), such prolonged excursions can best be explained by invoking a vast pool of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the world's oceans and its remineralisation by surplus oxidant after pyrite burial. The episodic waxing and waning of a DOM reservoir helps to explain the occurrence and timing of extreme climate events during the Neoproterozoic Era. Ecological dominance by eukaryotes, such as animals and algae, arose from a series of opportunistic radiations of aerobic life forms during periods of net DOM remineralisation and oxygenation.

Bob Marley loved many women in his lifetime, and his perception of a woman was framed around her natural beauty and femininity, which he preferred in its original form. He did not like it when a woman he was with wore make-up. When she was with him, he wanted her to be completely natural, so he could appreciate her femininity.
The attraction between man and woman is not coincidental. Because of their differences, their relationship can only work if they are willing to let go and surrender to the love between them. They will become one by learning to love one another the same way they love themselves – and loving themselves is a prerequisite for that.
Men are born into a completely different world than women. Since ancient times, men have been celebrated as heroes. Women, on the other hand, are thought at an early age that living in a modern world is actually a never-ending path of proving and accepting their femininity. For a woman, her femininity can be both: a curse and a gift.
Being a woman means learning to love yourself and not being sure if you will ever succeed in that endeavor. If you do, the fairy tale of the magical power of true beauty, heard from grandmother as a little girl, will finally make sense. The magical power of true beauty is not to be taken for granted. It needs to be nurtured and fought for. And this is where you guys come in. This is where Prince Charming enters the story.
A realized woman is not necessarily the woman that fights for her place in society and fulfillment of her idea of perfection. A realized woman is the woman that fights her fears of not being accepted and loved as she is. You claim to love her no matter what. Do you really mean that? Can you fully embrace her insecurities? Despite her strength, can you see she is also fragile and vulnerable? Not because she is weak, but because she forgot how to please herself while she was busy pleasing everyone else. She forgot how beautiful and loving she really is. She was told she needs to fight for her femininity instead of simply being encouraged to embracing it. She needs to embrace being a woman. She needs feel comfortable allowing herself to be gentle, vulnerable and romantic. She needs to feel comfortable allowing herself to yearn for safety and mutual love. Sadly, many women suppress those notions. They judge and blame themselves for their femininity. They think they need to be more stoic than they really are. That they need to suppress their feelings. That they need to be competitive in the way of men. That they need to strive for success and goals they don't really want to achieve, only to prove to the world they can be equal to men. The modern world has nothing in common with supporting female ambitions. Consequently, women blame themselves for not being able to make their man happy, not being able to control their emotions on the 25th or 26th day of their cycle and not being able to coordinate their career and family life.
With that being said, thanks to society, what all women want is to be perfect. While understanding that perfection is impossible to achieve, they still strive to be perfect up until the moment when they can no longer fight themselves. That moment is when they collapse. It may happen on the inside, without anyone else noticing. The mosaic, which they have been building since they were little girls, shatters. All that is left is a small, and bare essence of a woman, caught in the web of vague patterns from her past. Often, that essence is so weak that the woman doesn't see it, which kills whatever hope she had left for achieving her full potential. But sometimes, they are able to pick themselves up and put the broken pieces back together, creating a new mosaic that allows their essence to shine in all its beauty and strength. They forgive themselves. They fully embrace their true self. Those women exude their femininity and you can sense it the second you meet them. You simply know they represent the full meaning of a woman.
Everything you will read in this book has been lived in real life. There are men out there that are able to awaken women. Although there are not many of them, there are enough that they can't be called a fluke. Now it is up to you to decide how you will use your love for your woman. Will you measure it or give it freely?
Don't forget that our purpose as human beings is to learn how to love, no matter what anyone else tries to tell you. They might want you to believe that love is an illusion of happiness and that being selfish is what will be vital for your survival in today's society. It's magic when a woman loves a man and a man loves a woman. The love that they can offer is different, but when they become one, they achieve the purpose of humanity.


In a formal letter to Trump, Sessions noted that he was submitting his resignation at the president's request.
"Jeff Sessions, once one of President Trump's most loyal and trusted advisers before infuriating Trump over his recusal from the Russian Federation investigation, has resigned as attorney general at the request of the president", writes Fox News. "Why is the President making this change and who has authority over Special Counsel Mueller's investigation?"
In the long run, Sessions is convinced that the country will be better served by the investigation proceeding naturally, as the findings will be more credible to the American public, the person said.
Because of Sessions' recusal, the investigation has been under the oversight of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who has also come under fire from the Trump administration.
He said a permanent replacement would be nominated at a later date.
Mr Sessions, 71, had recused himself from the Russian Federation probe, because of his role in the Trump election campaign and the investigation has caused considerable tension between Mr Trump and Mr Sessions, which the president dubbed a "witch hunt". To recap, there is a statutory basis for presidents selecting pretty much whoever they want to act as a cabinet official but there are also specific procedures for the Justice Department to prevent presidents from, you know, firing people investigating them and replacing them with loyalists.
In July 2017 Mr Trump told the New York Times: "Sessions should have never recused himself, and if he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me before he took the job and I would have picked somebody else". Earlier this year, Mr. Trump said had had "no attorney general".
Trump's White House has seen extensive turbulence with multiple high level departures.

Israelitische Annalen. Ein Centralblatt [Zentralblatt] für Geschichte, Literatur und Cultur [Kultur] der Israeliten aller Zeiten und Länder war eine deutschsprachige jüdische Zeitschrift des 19. Jahrhunderts.

Geschichte
Die wöchentlich erscheinende Zeitschrift wurde von Isaak Markus Jost (1793–1860) herausgegeben und erschien bei Johann David Sauerländer in Frankfurt am Main von 1839 bis 1841. Die meisten Artikel beziehen sich auf die jüdische Geschichte, Literatur und das Judentum. Der jüdische deutsche Historiker Jost war ein Pionier auf dem Gebiet der modernen jüdischen Geschichtsschreibung. Er war der erste, der eine Universalgeschichte der Juden, die Geschichte der Israeliten (10 Bde., Berlin 1820–1847) einschließlich der Geschichte seiner eigenen Zeit veröffentlichte, auch eine Geschichte des Judenthums und Seiner Sekten (3 Bände, Leipzig, 1857–1859). Das "Centralblatt", das die Kulturgeschichte des Judentums der Welt behandelte, sollte das Interesse an der jüdischen Geschichte sowohl bei Juden als auch bei Nichtjuden wecken. Für Jost war die Kenntnis der jüdischen Geschichte ein wichtiger Beitrag zur jüdischen Emanzipation.

Q: Drools Search Map Values I'm trying to create a rule on Drools.
My current code is:
rule "Test Rule #1"
when
 obj1 : MyObject ( )
 map : ArrayList (size < 1) from collect ( HashMap ( values ( House ( windows = 3) ) ) ) from obj1.getHouses()
then
  // Do something
end

What I am trying to do is: check if there are any Houses with 3 windows in the HashMap. If there aren't // Do something.
To do that I'm trying to access obj1.getHouses() which is an HashMap < String, List < Houses>>. Then I'm checking this HashMap values, and filter it for Houses that have 3 windows.
But there is something wrong with this code. I'm getting this error:

Unable to Analyse Expression values ( House ( windows = 3) ):
  java.lang.Class cannot be cast to org.mvel2.util.MethodStub]

Can someone help?
Thanks in advance.

A: rule "find houses"
when
  obj1: MyObject()
  $fl: List()
    from accumulate( $l: List(),
        init( List flat = new ArrayList(); ),
        action( flat.addAll( $l ); ),
        result( flat ) )
      from obj1.getHouses().values()
  not House( windows == 3 ) from $fl
then
  //... $h is a house with three windows
end

You need to unravel the Lists that are values in your hash map. Then you can inspect the resulting list for houses with three windows.
As you didn't provide all the code to set up a demo, this rule is untested.


The Coco Chair is designed by OEO Studio with an eye to create a charismatic signature design that offers a high level of comfort. The chair shows references to industrial simplicity, fashion and the Bauhaus, but the inspiration for the design comes from a desire to create a simple yet elegant chair with a minimal use of materials, without compromising the design and character. The result is a post-industrial look that is balanced by the chair's elegant silhouette where the soft curves render a feminine and playful touch. The feminine expression is also what have given the chair its name Coco, which is filled with character. Arm chair also available.


A french plaster stencil design reminiscent of the time of Marie Antoinette. A time of opulence, grace and beauty.
This stencil was designed with old, french wall designs in mind.
No matter what color you wind up using for this plaster stencil design, it's going to be simply breathtaking! A great stencil for use as a repeated wallpaper, damask stencil design or on furniture and cabinets.
Irida Kyriakopoulou used this stencil on the doors of her cabinet make over. What a transformation!
