How to Cheat Your Way Into The Olympics
Have you ever witnessed a professional performance which left you saying "Well, I could do that too"? Rarely does the average person experience this moment while watching the Olympics, an athletic series of competitions filled to the brim with talent and fierce determination.
However, American "skier" Elizabeth Swaney, who represented Hungary in the Winter Olympics held in Pyeongchang, South Korea, showed us that we should all follow our dreams and live our lives to the fullest.
Swaney reached the 2018 Winter Olympics through exploitation of a sheer lack of female halfpipe skiers and a hilarious loophole. Qualification for the Olympics (as a halfpipe skier) involves achieving a certain number of top-30 World Cup finishes, and Swaney achieved 13 of them by simply turning up and competing at events where there were fewer than 30 athletes competing.
As a result, Swaney is seen rocking back on forth on the halfpipe — performing no tricks, SLOWING DOWN to catch her balance, and finally finishing unsteadily enough that she slid slowly backwards.
The 33- year-old quickly became an overnight sensation, and to make matters worse, she was the first person to ever represent Hungary in skiing.
However terrible she is in terms of skiing, Swaney believes she will inspire a new generation. "I want to inspire others in Hungary and the world to become involved in freestyle skiing," she said. "Maybe perhaps I'm the bridge to those who want to get started in the life of freestyle skiing and I want to show people that, yeah, it's possible to get involved in freestyle skiing through a variety of backgrounds." Swaney said.
Hungarian officials have confirmed that their qualifications will be altered.

Effective Charge on the Nucleophile and Leaving Group During the Stepwise Transfer of the Trizazinyl Group Between Pyridines in Aqueous-Solution
Cullum, Neil R., Renfrew, A. Hunter M., Rettura, Donatella, Taylor, John A., Whitmore, James M.J., Williams, Andrew (1995) Effective Charge on the Nucleophile and Leaving Group During the Stepwise Transfer of the Trizazinyl Group Between Pyridines in Aqueous-Solution. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 117 (36). pp. 9200-9205. ISSN 0002-7863. (doi:10.1021/ja00141a012) (The full text of this publication is not currently available from this repository.

Second-order rate constants (k(xpy)) have been measured for the displacement reaction between substituted pyridines (xpy) and 1'-(2,6-diphenoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)pyridinium in aqueous solution. The rate constants for the reverse reaction (k(-xpy)) have also been measured for substituted pyridine leaving groups. The plots of log k(xpy) and log k(-xpy) against pK(a)(xpy) each consist of two intersecting linear correlations consistent with a two-step mechanism involving a Meisenheimer-like intermediate. The overall transfer of the triazin-2-yl group between substituted pyridines has a beta(eq) value of 1.25. There is negligible coupling between the bonding changes in both steps, and the substituent effects indicate that bond formation is half complete in the addition step. Reaction of substituted pyridines with 2,6-diphenoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl chloride has a similar bonding change in the addition step, The 1'-triazin-2-ylpyridinium ion species exist in aqueous solution in equilibrium with the pseudobase formed by addition of water at the 2-position of the pyridinium ring.

Aspirin Helps Reduce Cancer Deaths, Study Finds
NYTimes.com: "Many Americans take aspirin to lower their risk of heart disease, but a new study suggests a remarkable added benefit, reporting that patients who took aspirin regularly for a period of several years were 21 percent less likely decades later to die of solid tumor cancers, including cancers of the stomach, esophagus and lung.
"As part of the new study, published online Monday in the journal Lancet, researchers examined the cancer death rates of 25,570 patients who had participated in eight different randomized controlled trials of aspirin that ended up to 20 years earlier."
Note and comment:
Abstract available at http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(10)62110-1/fulltext
Sorry, The Lancet charges $31.50 to non-subscribers just to download a full-text copy of this article -- though The Lancet contributed nothing to the cost of doing the research. Many other medical journals do the same (and many others don't). Our (conservative) estimate of The Lancet's profit margin for this transaction is 100,000% -- yes, one hundred thousand percent -- assuming a cost of 3 cents for its server to download the article (it's probably much less).
Researchers don't like this system because it reduces the usefulness and impact of their work. Often they put up with it only because they do not have a couple thousand dollars to pay expenses for peer-reviewed online open-access publication, for example in PLoS (Public Library of Science) journals. (If researchers just uploaded their work to a blog, the medical/scientific/academic/media world would seldom take it seriously -- because it's so hard to judge credibility, when even full peer review frequently gets is wrong). How different from the worlds of mathematics or astronomy, for example, where there is much less money attached, making transparency and effective collaboration far easier, since there's so much less motive to keep secrets or to scam.)
Our point is not that The Lancet is mercenary, but that we have a harmful, long-time public-policy failure. While the funding of this research is listed as "none" (welcome, in our view, since funding introduces very serious corruption in medical research -- but unwelcome in that the lack of explicit Federal funding will let The Lancet restrict the article for decades) taxpayers largely pay for the research infrastructure which made this research possible. And Congress creates the intellectual-property laws for the benefit of the very rich and the largest corporations, in return for campaign contributions and other favors -- without regard to the public interest.
Meanwhile, off to the drugstore for low-dose aspirin. Ask your doctor first, if you have serious medical problems.

Why 'The Fair List'?Tessa Woodward2015-07-21T15:38:36+00:00
When I was lucky enough, back in the nineteen eighties, to be invited onto speaker panels and to give plenary and keynote speeches at UK events for EFL/ESOL teachers, I often found myself to be the only woman on the podium on the day. I noticed and minded, but I had the feeling, back then, that things were improving. Pretty soon, I thought, I would have women companions up there with me. So I ploughed on over the years, just trying to make my contributions interesting and relevant to the field.
In 2012 I was lucky enough to be invited to share my thoughts publicly as a plenary speaker on a number of occasions in the UK. And, several times again, I found myself, as a woman speaker, in a very small minority-sometimes a minority of one. 'Hang on!' I thought to myself. 'It's 2012. The profession is stuffed full of women teachers. There are, I think, more women academic directors than there used to be. Lots of people who select speakers for conferences are women. So, how come, when it comes to plenary or keynote speakers in the UK, I am still looking around for women chums to join me up on the podium?'
I sent an exploratory email around to some colleagues explaining how I felt and why I thought it important to have a good gender balance of presenters at UK, ELT events. I got a lot of supportive messages back. So then I decided to do something about it.
Why the UK only?
In my view, people in the UK, especially those in government, have meddled quite enough in other people's countries. I was born and bred in the UK. This is where I have the right to vote. I received my initial EFL teacher training in the UK and have worked here for many years. So I feel I have the right to speak here. If you were born and bred in another country and feel you would like to start up a similar award there, please do get in touch.
Why only public speakers?
There are all kinds of unfairness in the world. And, in terms of gender balance in UK ELT, there are things to discuss, such as, numbers of women in management teams, numbers in university departments, equal pay. But being just one person, I am working on something I know about and have personal experience of. If you can tackle another related issue, I will be happy and applaud you!

Many investors are putting their money into gold to hedge against inflation, but gold-related stocks may prove to be a better deal.
Central banks all over the world have been debasing their currencies for some time by lowering interest rates. Some, such as the U.S. Federal Reserve, have resorted to quantitative easing. It is a fancy term which basically means printing money.
In the United States, the adjusted monetary base has more than tripled since 2008, as tracked by the Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis. This refers to the sum of currency, including coins, in circulation.
The debasing of the currency, however, fuels inflation, since it pushes down the value of money. It is little wonder that in such an environment many people have resorted to gold as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty due to central banks printing money.
While gold has been a great investment over the past decade, its price rising by around 500 percent since the end of 2000, the returns on select shares with exposure to gold are expected to perform even better in the next 10 years. These expectations are backed by forecasts of gold hitting US$2,000 (MOP16,000) an ounce in the next few months and reaching a new record of US$3,000 an ounce within the next 24 months.
The monetary expansion around the world should continue to ensure a positive environment for gold investments. Select gold-related shares will benefit the most, owing to leverage on the price of the metal. The U.S. Federal Reserve took an unprecedented step last month, committing itself to near-zero interest rates as long as unemployment remains high. Analysts said this was bullish for gold because it suggested that the U.S. central bank would keep creating new money to stimulate the economy.
In the third quarter of last year India and Greater China continued to be the biggest source of consumer demand for gold, according to the World Gold Council. Together they accounted for 55 percent of demand for gold jewellery, bars and coins.
My expectation is that not only Chinese private investors but also the People's Bank of China will continue to accumulate gold at increasing rates. Many analysts believe that Beijing holds a far higher volume of gold reserves than the 1,054 tonnes that the World Gold Council thinks it holds. The mainland imported 286.8 tonnes of gold from Hong Kong in the first 10 months of last year, more than triple the amount it imported a year earlier, according to data from the Census and Statistics Department of the Hong Kong government.
Some of the world's leading fund managers have been building up their gold positions in recent months. Soros Fund Management LLC increased its holding in SPDR Gold Trust, the biggest gold-backed exchange-traded product, by 49 percent in the third quarter of last year, according to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings. John Paulson has a considerable portion of his hedge funds tied to gold bullion, including a sizeable stake in SPDR Gold Trust, in which his Paulson & Co is the biggest shareholder. Naguib Sawiris, the second-richest man in Egypt, bought a Canadian gold producer for almost US$500 million in July.
Ray Dalio, one of the world's most respected fund managers, told CNBC in September that gold should be in everyone's portfolio. Bill Gross, who runs the world's biggest bond fund at Pacific Investment Management Co, said last February that gold is a store of value when there is little value left in paper.
I personally regard gold as a form of saving, whereas select gold-related shares can be a very attractive investment, providing higher returns, especially these days.
Buying precious-metal-related stocks is certainly not free of risk. But there is risk in buying any stock. Here, the risk can be minimised and higher returns achieved by choosing stocks of companies that have proven management practices and sound assets, work in less politically risky parts of the world and are on track toward big growth.
I believe the parabolic trend phase for gold prices is still ahead of us, and that a medium-term price of US$5,000 an ounce could be a conservative estimate. History indicates that prices between US$5,000 and US$10,000 may be realised in the longer term. Increases of 200 percent to 500 percent or more in prices of select gold-related shares will not be uncommon in the next three to five years.

Macedonian Wine Association (Wines of Macedonia) organized three promotional events in the United States, where seven Macedonian wineries presented their wines to the American public. Creative House is their official marketing agency for their activities in USA, and as such, took care of the technical and organizational part of the events and thus contributed to their successful realization.
The wine events were held in three different locations in USA: New York, New Jersey and Chicago. At these exclusive wine events, the wineries presented their products to renowned people working in the wine industry.
Supporting the activities of the Macedonian Wine Association in the U.S. is our agency, Creative House, which contributed greatly to the successful realization of these events. Creative House had a chance to position Macedonian wines as sponsors of a prestigious humanitarian event in New York City organized by famous fashion designer Donna Karan and the Urban Zen Foundation. Creative House managed to convince Donna Karan to try Macedonian wines, after which she decided to serve, exclusively, Macedonian wines during her VIP event. This was a great achievement considering the guest list at such an event, which included such guests as Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and other celebrities in the field of fashion, entertainment, politics, film and music.
"First of all I must point out that I am very glad that we are supporters of this gala event, as well as all other activities of "Wines of Macedonia" here in the United States. It's a great feeling to work for Macedonian clients through our U.S. office and to help them present their products to the American public, which is helping us create a space for more successful breakthroughs in this market," said our CEO Miki Pavlov.
Macedonian wineries through various international events, promotions and competitions, constantly build their image allowing them to successfully penetrate markets outside of Macedonia. They have proven to be of the highest quality in many countries around the world, and continue to strengthen their presence on the U.S. market.


Every floor a different design adventure! Every floor a different designer masterpiece!
With 12 floors and communal spaces providing a unique style designed by 19 design agencies, your choice of room is critical at Hotel Puerta América.
Some floors are a triumph of style over substance and there are stories of guests whose frustration to dim the walls, or use hi-tech appliances forced them to change rooms.
Although floors have a similar layout, when you exit the elevator on each floor you feel in altogether different worlds - from futuristic red plastic to black marble through to traditional leather and wood. With every floor a different artistic design, this hotel challenges the senses in an architectural assault course of design.
Hotel Puerta América has 342 bedrooms including a number of suites on the 12th floor.
The first floor by Zaha Hadid, where everything seems to come out from the wall. The bathroom is a single structure from floor to ceiling which changes colour according to the room. Most frustratingly the waste basket is intended as a challenge for guests, because it is not so easy to find. Or you can just drop your rubbish on the floor with frustration.
The eighth floor by Kathryn Findlay titled "Light in motion" intends to suggest a feminine touch. Refusing to consider walls or doors, Findley provided for sweeping white curtains that separate the bathroom from the room. The entire room is white and forms a single space.
Patience is required on the ninth floor of Richard Gluckman with his 'Boxes of colours' concept as you need to find everything in the room and bathroom, because it is hidden in a box. The biggest box, in the middle of the room, houses the television. In the bathroom, the first thing you see when you enter the room, is a large glass box containing the shower, with a sliding door separating it from the bedroom by means of a white metal curtain. Contrasting a raw industrial look with back-lit illumination, it is critical for guests to ask how to turn off the lights, otherwise you'll struggle to get to sleep.
The hotel is midway between the airport and the city centre and is not in the centre of town. A taxi from the airport should cost around €15, and around €10 into town. Alternatively consider the metro stop next to the hotel, but be prepared to change a couple of times to get into the centre.
While there is a pool and spa treatment room advertised at Puerta América, they are not a major feature of the hotel. There isn't much to visit locally, so you need to be prepared to take a taxi into town for restaurants and entertainment.
All very lovely and chic, each floor is designed by a different architect so go with friends and get rooms on different floors and play with the lifts. Best on a business account because it is expensive. The black and orange swim pool fab.
Merece la pena disfutar una noche en este hotel, además se encuentran ultimamente buenas ofertas para ir.Recomiendo la planta 7ª!

Sleeping Beauty with Rojo and Muntagirov, English National Ballet, ENB, London Coliseum, January 2013
Kenneth MacMillan's production of Sleeping Beauty, with its glorious costumes by Nicholas Geogiardis, is a joy to watch, the sets by Peter Farmer reflecting a mistiness in the world beyond the action like some famous Renaissance paintings. The expression of the action is crystal clear in its use of mime, and for anyone unfamiliar with the conventions a helpful …
The Nutcracker with Klimentová and Muntagirov, English National Ballet, ENB, London Coliseum, December 2012
The clever concept behind English National Ballet's Nutcracker is not that the toy comes to life, but that in Clara's mind he takes on the form of Drosselmeyer's handsome nephew, seen in a blue uniform at the party in Act I. After the death of the Mouse King, which occurs in Act II of this production, the …
Apollo/ Jeux/ Le Train Bleu/ Suite en Blanc, English National Ballet, ENB, London Coliseum, March 2012
The second part of ENB's spring programme Beyond Ballets Russes has a charming middle section comprising Jeux and a solo from Le train bleu, sandwiched between two glorious works in white: Apollo and Suite en Blanc. Apollo was choreographed by the 24-year old Balanchine in 1928, though he later revised it, cutting out the birth of Apollo at …
Romeo and Juliet, English National Ballet, ENB, London Coliseum, January 2011
Posted on 6 January 2011
Nureyev's choreography gives a real edge to the fight scenes, and the punch-up in Act I sets the stage for the ensuing spitefulness between two feuding families. He first created the production for this company … in 1977, dancing the role of Romeo himself. This revival … has a thrilling energy, just like Nureyev himself …
Nutcracker, English National Ballet, ENB at the London Coliseum, December 2010
In the Hoffmann original the Nutcracker is a magical version of Drosselmeyer's nephew, a feature represented in Eagling's production by having the two characters interchange on stage several times.
Cinderella, English National Ballet, ENB at the London Coliseum, August 2010
This is a very welcome revival of Michael Corder's production, with beautiful dancing by Daria Klimentova as Cinderella, very well supported by Vadim Muntagirov as the prince.

without missing was continued on Saturday's hunt.
Put together at the last minute, only Brag, Plunker and myself attended. I called Hover late Friday, but hung up when I got the voice mail. Dustin, Cuz's grandson told me he would be there, but he is 19 and it was a Friday night.
We ran three dogs, Sammie, Lucy and Katie. And had some great races at the front of our hunting lease on a pine plantation near Seale, Alabama.
Plunker was 1 for 2 as was Brag.
Never dropped the hammer on a shell.
The only rabbit I saw was a gray blur through some sweet gum saplings. But, at least I didn't miss.
We started at one of the Florida Boys stands near the front gate. We've had some good luck there, though it's a hillside thick with pine saplings leading down into a hardwood bottom that is bordered by a paved road. We've never had a rabbit cross that road. Good thing. Logging trucks pass by on a regular basis. Nothing can ruin a rabbit season, not to mention a pack of not street wise rabbit dogs, than a logging truck.
Plunker started us off with a nice buck rabbit that he shot with a old .410. I was busy trying to keep Sammie off of Sally while putting her back into the box. She was still in heat and Sammie for the first time was showing some interest. Ok, a lot of interest. About like a 16 year old boy.
Brag missed his first shot, but killed a small buck later in the race.
Soon after, Lucy was running one rabbit while Katie ran another, before joining back up later. Deprived of Sally, Sammie ran with Katie and Lucy, and was sounding off with his deep voice. We didn't get that rabbit though it wasn't for the lack of trying. It's still tough with the leaves still on the brush to see a rabbit in time to shoot.
Before calling it a day, we tried a newly ( a year and a half ago) thinned area with some new brush in it. This time Sammie sat in the box while Sallie got to go.
The sign was there, but Katie and Lucy were tired and not really hunting. We'll try it again some early morning.
Any of you fungus (fungi?) experts able to name these?

How many rabbits dog you kill a day? How many would you sale a rabbit all ready broke?
Ain't killed a dog yet though I have thought about it a time or two.
Oh wait, I forgot about Sugar. That was an extreme case. And I will shoot one that is hurt bad.
If you're asking how much for a rabbit dog that is broke in, I'll leave that to some of the breeders. I won't have any for a year.
How many rabbits do you all kill a day?
Hmmm, four or five a day.
It runs in cycles, both the natural rabbit cycle and the local cover/food/predator cycle.
When do you all rabbit season end?
29 in a leap year.

Hugh Masekela works to preserve the heritage of South Africa
Boston Globe, April 18, 2013
He turned 74 a few days ago, and Hugh Masekela — the South African trumpeter, flugelhorn player, singer, jazz pioneer, folk music reviver, cultural activist, master entertainer, and all-around irrepressible spirit — is fairly bursting with energy.
At the helm of his working band of the last four years, a sharp crew of Cape Town players less than half his age, he's on his annual tour snaking through the United States and playing music from "Jabulani," his latest international release; "Playing @ Work," a brand-new double album as yet only available in South Africa; and gems from his 43-album-deep vault of jazz, soul, South African funk, Xhosa folklore, Afrobeat, maybe the odd Bob Dylan cover, and who knows what else. Masekela comes to Berklee Performance Center on Sunday.
His verve, Masekela says on the phone from a tour stop in central Pennsylvania, comes first and foremost from the privilege of performing. "How many occupations do you know where you can engage 2,000 people and have everyone feeling?"
More prosaically, Masekela, who kicked a bad alcohol habit 15 years ago, says he draws force from his daily practice of tai chi, in the manner of the millions of Chinese who practice the discipline into old age. "When they are really old, they are still upright and calm," Masekela says. "When you're upright and calm, you're like an antenna."
Those who recall Masekela from his Afro-funk days of the 1970s, his "Grazing in the Grass" hit of 1968, or for that matter his early career on the South African jazz scene with the likes of Abdullah Ibrahim (then called Dollar Brand) in the late 1950s, may find that today, Masekela's solos may be just a little briefer than in the past, his hearty singing voice just a shade less lusty. The years will do that.
But that antenna has never been more sharply tuned. Masekela is collaborating with an armada of young artists, popping up onstage with everyone from New York Ugandan-American singer Somi to Johannesburg art-rockers BLK JKS. He launched last year a production house and label to develop South African talent across genres. And despite performing and touring widely, he's also, he says, constantly reading.
"I'm reading everything I can get my eyes on, except maybe bathroom graffiti," he says. "From junk to Dostoyevsky." His range is broad but his choices are still pointed. His current tour-bus fare is a tome titled "New Babylon, New Niniveh," a scholarly study of conditions in the late 19th century in the Witwatersrand — the mining area where Johannesburg sits and where South African industry took shape.
"Johannesburg was built, for lack of a better word, by pirates and greed," he says, summarizing his observations from the book. "And that set the standard for urban life in South Africa, the values. Acquisition is still the greatest thing that every South African is after."
These days, Masekela takes every opportunity to advocate for the arts and initiatives to preserve cultural heritage in the face of unrelenting materialism — in South Africa and elsewhere. He views what he calls "heritage restoration" as a global priority that is especially crucial on the African continent, where museums and arts institutions are poor and have been low public priorities, and where each generation that passes away takes with it knowledge that can't be replaced.
"Today's aged have that last oral information," he says. "And they are sitting in the backyard, in the shade somewhere, and we are not letting them share it with us."
Masekela says he is working with several colleagues on plans to establish academies that will not only present and teach but also conduct research into African music, visual art, architecture, and design.
In a sense, the vision is a natural expansion of Masekela's own creative investment in South African arts since his return to the country in 1990. He had left in 1960 after the Sharpeville Massacre signaled the hardening of the apartheid regime, and returned to a country in transition, with Nelson Mandela newly freed.
In the years since then, his music has increasingly drawn on South Africa's mbaqanga funk style and new, jazzy interpretations of traditional themes. Many songs on "Jabulani," some in Xhosa and others in English, tell stories of the ups and downs of marriage, ringing like jaunty, dance-ready funk fables.
In the end, however, trying to put categories on Masekela's music is a fool's errand. The man is far too eclectic. His new South African release includes a version of "Soweto Blues," a classic he wrote long ago for ex-wife Miriam Makeba but had not recorded himself. It also features a cover of Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue."
The impression emerges that Masekela's borderless vision and creative instincts, though honed by decades in exile, have blossomed with each year since his return to his home country, like a plant whose branches grow out at the same time as its roots.
"The greatest privilege I had in life was to be able to go back to South Africa," he says. "I can immerse myself in our heritage and ancestry, and I have access to the world as a free citizen. I'm just enjoying being alive as a free individual and having access to the whole world."

Porsche is the eighth generation of a 911 sports car. It promotes the development of the most powerful and more efficient designs, engines and systems that will make the most effective. steer the image to a new era. In Germany, at least 120 miles, in Slovenia, it will be more expensive.
In the eighteenth century, the new Porsche 911 remains a legacy duty of the previous seven. The car, which dates back to 1963, has changed slightly in the last 55 years. That's why the most recent productivity from Stuttgart represents the development of one of the most well-known device forms, contributes to modern technology and some new auxiliary systems.
On the front, a & # 39; The car is now 4.5 centimeters wide, and it will be behind it, despite the draft of the car.
Picture: Porsche
Worst, behind the light line
Afterwards, it grew a bit bigger. In Porsche, they say they were inspired by the previous 911 turbocharged engine. On the front, a & # 39; The car is now 4.5 centimeters wide, and it will be behind it, despite the draft of the car. The light line is going back behind her; car over the entire car. The 911 faces of different sizes are on the front (20 inches) and a backbone (21 inches).
Power engine from 450 & horses; on
In the back of the car, the course S a & # 39; Hanging a two-dimensional six-syllable six-cylinder cylinder machine, in particular 331 kilobat (450 & horses). Compared to his generation; Existing in the same model, this is an additional 22 kilometers (30 & hs). Up to 100 kilometers per hour per car is less than four seconds and the maximum speed exceeds 300km per hour. The car is also available with four-wheel drive. The Carrera S will only be available with an automated transfusion PDK eight fast.
911 will also be seen for a & # 39; first time at night
Technologically, there is more digital in the interior, which is already used in Porsche from the new panamera. Nevelty is a wet road system with help. With the sensor in the glossaries, the car will investigate the amount of water on the road, and warns the driver, and also arranges the power distribution or driver's program. This also includes a & # 39; picking up the back spoiler to achieve more vacant, that is, stick to the road.
At 911, the novel is also an evening vision technology that surrounds the surrounding environment with an infrared camera at night and its location; warns the driver of risk of collision with walkers or wild animals. It is worthwhile to emphasize the control of short-term radar cruise.
In Germany, the new 911 porsche will cost 120,000 yorra, and a 4S version of 127,000 euros. Slovene prices will definitely be higher (higher VAT, "flexible" tax).
The basic power of its porsche 911 S 331 kilotata (450 & # 39; each & # 39;) is a central power. Accelerated up to 100 kilometers per hour in less than four seconds, and employing more than 300 kilometers per hour.
The Porsche 911 was always a very diverse customer attraction. He also loved film stars (Paul Newman, James Dean, Steve McQueen …) and revealed a new long-term generation from Hollywood.

In the last three years, 33 porpoises of 911 in Slovenian
In China, according to official numbers, Porsche sold eight of the 911 modules last year, and last year, eleven. This year, they sold fourteen by the end of October. In Slovenia, these cars can be much more expensive due to the additional tax (the so-called flexible tax) than in some other European countries. The 9s porsche 911 911 vacation course in Slovenia is 117,000 euros, and is currently the top of the offer for the 911 GT2 RS model.
The Slovenianis importer for this sport car (the engine's power is not as big as 515 kilometers or 700 per cent) has been published. In Italy, prices start at around 300,000. It is this year with such cars on Slovak roads (and the Crotnik Grobnik race route) also show Samo Login, one of the richest Surnames.
On Slovakian roads, porsche 911 #foto is most powerful
At the Frankfurt Motor Show, in 1963, Porsche introduced the 356 producer. , but later, the Germans needed to change the name of the car to 911 due to a Peugeot controversy. One of the largest sculptures of the car world was born.
In 1986, Vojko Podobnik became a national hero of old Yugoslavia with the Porsche 911 B.
Seven generations of porsche 911
In 1963, the sports fan 356 traveled the world of sports cars with a six-cylinder backbone sports car, back wheel driver and umbrella, which is still known today with almost all- everyone on earth. Already in the first generation, Porsche produced a version of a tariff, he edited a version of S for a few years after its launch, and especially for the US market, the T-shirt weakest. Came & # 39; First generation to top when the brutal RS model was launched. The factory left 1,525 models of the 911 RS, together with 111,995 cars between 1963 and 1973.
The second generation is defined by the name within G. If the Germans preserved their first generation of life for ten years, The second generation is officially in sixteen years (1973-1989). The Cabriolet and the Speedster add to this list of the # 39; changes. In 1974 he moved to Turbo for the first time on the road and changed the world of sports cars. In total, Porsche sold 198496 cars during this period.
Interior code is at the third generation of 964 and was made between 1988 and 1994. It was decorated with the classic appearance of the classic with some of the modern design elements. The 911 race was 4 hired with four wheels driving at the fascinating 959 sport, and in 1989, the course 2, Cabriolet and Targa went on the road. In 1993 they created a 930 speed (+15 turbo) and converted the turbo version to the strongest 3.6-liter engineer. In total 63,762 cars were sold.
The fourth generation of 993 was represented for just five years (1993-1998), but it is believed to have been a branded crown yacht; there. This is the latest series with air-cooled air-fired engines. Porsche also had proofing formats here. Initially, the coupe and cabriolet were available, and in 1995 it was still a suit. In addition to the back wheel drive, a four-wheeled 4S carrack was also available. For sports stakeholders, 911 turbo was available, and today 911 GT2 is valid for one of the equipment jewelery that is a garage collector collection. In total 68,881 cars were made.
The largest 996 series is made between 1997 and 2005. With a different different shape and for the first time by a motor that was burned by water, they did not find a language common with fans; brand. They were specially worth the very quick version of the turbo and rare turn of the GT2. In the eight years they carried 175,262 cars.
The 997 series was made between 2004 and 2012. They all returned to the original design and extended the model range to 24 versions. There were coupe, targa, cabriolet, speedster, back or four-wheel drive, standard or broader co-operation, full-force or full force dual-sewer cylinders, GTS, GT2, GT2 RS, GT3 sports versions and GT3 RS. The number of different options and updating their output figures was higher – they gave 213,004 cars for them.
The seventeenth generation is now with a 991 code mark already welcomed, the replacement eighteenth generation of a cult module. 991 started in 2011 and got a new emotion. The most beautiful model in this millennium has become modern and widely used. The number of changes has grown even more, and sales figures have gone on to # 39; blocking all registrations – made 217,930 cars. From 1963 to October 2018, 1,049,330 cars were made together.

Coronavirus screening on cruise ship docked in N.J. sends 4 to hospital for evaluation
Updated Mar 02, 2020; Posted Feb 07, 2020
Passengers on The Anthem of the Seas cruise ship screened for coronavirus
By Larry Higgs | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com and Jeff Goldman | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
Four of the 27 Royal Caribbean passengers screened for coronavirus after the cruise ship docked in Bayonne on Friday morning were sent to hospitals for further evaluation, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said.
The other 23 were cleared and permitted to disembark from the Anthem of the Seas along with the ship's other passengers, who said they were unaware of the coronavirus concerns until being alerted by news reports.
"Personnel from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention boarded a cruise ship docked in Bayonne this morning and screened 27 passengers who recently traveled from mainland China," Murphy said in statement. "After being assessed by the CDC, 23 of those passengers were cleared and four individuals are being evaluated at an area hospital. The hospital is following proper infection control protocols while evaluating these individuals. New Jersey currently has no confirmed cases of novel coronavirus and the risk to residents remains low."
Dr. Robert Harvey, a passenger on the cruise from Barnegat, said he didn't learn about the screening of the passengers until Friday morning.
"I think someone was listening to television news and they told us about it while we were eating breakfast," Harvey said, after disembarking at the Cape Liberty Cruise Port. "It didn't bother me. It's a minor thing when compared to the flu and all the deaths (from that)."
Harvey said the ship was constantly being cleaned during the cruise.
"They scrubbed that ship constantly," he said. "I felt very safe the whole time."
Four passengers from Canada were split about whether they were concerned about the coronavirus.
"We knew nothing," said Ron Newelo. "We saw it on TV. They (the ship's crew) were always careful. There's not much you can do when you're in the ocean."
A man from Pennsylvania who asked not to be identified said the news was a "complete surprise" to him."
"We didn't know anyone was sick, we didn't see anyone who was sick," he said.
Royal Caribbean issued an emailed statement acknowledging some passengers were checked.
"Like airlines, we are participating in elevated levels of guest screening to check the spread of coronavirus" the statement said. "We are closely monitoring developments regarding coronavirus and have rigorous medical protocols in place onboard our ships.
"We continue to work in close consultation with the CDC, the WHO, and local health authorities to align with their guidance and ensure the health and wellbeing of our guests and crew."
There have been confirmed cases of coronavirus in 28 countries, according the latest numbers provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. In the U.S., 11 people from five states have tested positive, though none have been in New Jersey, New York or Pennsylvania. The results of 76 more tests are pending.
Gov. Phil Murphy on Monday launched a task force to make sure New Jersey is prepared for any threat from the surging coronavirus. The state launched a website and a hotline — 1-800-222-1222 — to answer questions about the virus.
The coronavirus has sickened more than 28,000 people and killed at least 638 — almost entirely in China — since it was identified in December.

Friction Stir Welding in Energy Applications
By Alan Rooks Editor in Chief, Manufacturing Engineering
Prehistoric man, accustomed to making fire from striking two rocks together, would have understood the general idea of friction welding. But today's concept uses friction to make something less than fire—it creates plasticity in metals, but keeps them several hundred degrees under their melting temperatures, then forges them together.
As a result, unlike other welding processes, friction welding retains the workpieces' base metal properties. The process can join metals unweldable by other means and is controllable and repeatable. Friction welding, a solid-state process, includes several variations—some well-established and others developed more recently. All require machine tools, usually automated, instead of manual processes, and capital investment is higher than conventional welding.
One of the three types of friction welding is friction stir welding (the others are rotary friction welding and linear stir welding). Friction stir welding (FSW) was invented in 1991 by Wayne Thomas at The Welding Institute (Cambridge, UK) and produces high-quality welds. In FSW, a rotating, nonconsumable tool spins to create friction with stationary parts. The patents covering the basic process and methods of enhancing material flow recently expired, making it less costly to use FSW.
In addition to temperature control, tool material choice for FSW is critical. For example, 7000 series aluminum can be FSWed with pin tools made from H13 tool steel or MP159, a cobalt-based tool steel, because the temperature needed to make the material flow is not excessively high, according to Russell Steel, director of business development, MegaStir Technologies LLC (Provo, UT), a unit of oil and gas services firm Schlumberger. However, steels, stainless and nickel-based alloys begin to flow at higher temperatures, creating wear issues with tool steels, and may require polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) tools, which even at 1200°C are stable and with a 3600 Vickers hardness.
Orvilon, a fabrication unit of Holtec International (Jupiter, FL), used FSW to join Metamic-HT, a nanoparticle reinforced metal matrix composite that serves both as the neutron absorber and as the structural material of the fuel baskets in Holtec's canisters and transportation casks, which are used to store spent nuclear fuel. The process replaced a metal inert gas (MIG) welding process. Using a PCBN tool from MegaStir, Orvilon welded the honeycomb structure, which is 14′ (4.3-m) tall and 16′ (4.9 m) in diameter.
Another promising application is pipeline welding; FSW requires just 10% of the manpower used for conventional welding, according to Steel. However, few industrial codes, such as the API 1104 specification for girth welds on pipelines, cover the process, so suppliers and oil and gas companies are working on FSW specs. While the cost/benefit ratio for pipeline welding is low for FSW in flat, easily accessible areas, it increases considerably for hard-to-access regions such as parts of Brazil or the Arctic, he added. And, since it requires much less equipment than conventional welding, FSW has less impact on the pipeline right-of-way—an important consideration in environmentally sensitive areas.
With multiple new applications, interest in friction welding is growing. And, as applications change, its advantages become clearer. As Steel of MegaStir said, "The easy oil is gone. Drillers are having to go deeper and hotter, and with the materials they are using, conventional welding can't get the job done. Friction welding can."


Bzz Bzz. I'm on another secret mission. This time its of a triangular kind of which I have not encountered since my school days. Not isoscoles or equilateral but Dairylea. Its not something that I normally buy but more than happy to give it a go as a freebie. Apparently its been around for over 60 years but the current spin aimed at us constantly guilt ridden Mums is that its ingredients are all natural with no hidden nasties.
Even in my small local Tesco there was quite a range of Dairlea products on the shelves. Triangles, Tubs, Dunkers, Slices, Strip Cheese and Lunchables. Lots of packed lunch potential. My BzzAgent voucher was for the triangles or tub and I went for the retro triangles which would usually cost £1.25.
Boy was keen to get stuck in and had one on an oatcake as an after school snack. He found it a bit of a faff to open to be honest. Not exactly sure how you are supposed to do it. There is a red strip to pull which gives you a start but after that it all goes a bit array. The website suggests that you might want to tear off the corner and squeeze out the cheese straight into your mouth. That would only work for someone with less fillings than me. Tinfoil. Shudder.
Girl wasn't so keen but I snuck one into her packed lunch box fully expecting it to come back uneaten. She didn't prove me wrong. I'm thinking she might like it melted when stirred into hot pasta. #clutchingatstraws I went for a triangular double and had it on an Aberdfeldy Oatcake. One triangle was great. The other could best be described as inoffensive. I'm a big cheese fan but this is just not something that I would choose to eat. However I could be tempted as part of my current diet regime. I'm back on the Slimming World waggon aiming to loose a stone before my fast approaching OHNO40 birthday. This won't mean anything to non SWers but you can have three triangles as your B choice Healthy Extra. (or 5 if you go Extra Light!) Just saying.
So the verdict. Triangular cheese - a little parcel of three sided joy? Our survey said UH-UHHHHH! Despite its all natural ingredients Its not going to be an addition to our shopping list and there's still 5 in the box if anyone wants one.
I remember when bzz agent was worth doing for...now your stuff worth less than a fiver.

As we have seen after last years VICTORIOUS election....the Democrats have vowed to undermine our newly elected Presidents administration. With the continued protests,(some that have turned violent) organized by the Obama formed "Indivisible Movement" .....they attempt to portray our president as "illegitimate" with a singular goal of having our 45th President Impeached.
If you thought the Democrats where going to just hand us back our country without a fight.....YOU ARE WRONG!!!!!
I have been leading a campaign to counter these protests and Anti-Trump groups in Jacksonville, and our state of Florida. My commitment and tenacity is fueled by my faith in leadership from our President, Donald J. TRUMP. I feel it is our obligation and DUTY to defend and support our president from these attacks.
I have lead several counter protests this year......but it appears we have a full agenda ahead of us......all the way up to the 2018/2020 elections.
WE MUST JOIN the thousands of others across the country to show support for our POTUS. There is a HUGE Anti-Trump protest April 15th in Hemming Park, and I would like to gear up for it ASAP.
If you'd like to volunteer.....please contact me
If you know someone else who could help with our cause.....have them contact me.

This week we are going global! I interviewed web developer and business owner, Vaishali Budhiraja! She runs the web company Binary Quotes in New Delhi, India and inspires women both locally and globally.
1) What was the first thing that peaked your interest in programming?
The first thing that peeked my interest in programming was to see how magically things would work. The things which we had already explored a lot in our everyday life without even being bothered about their complexity and how much powerful you feel when you can see yourself as a developer. You can actually decide what the user experience of some particular app would be like. I love my journey from Microsoft Paint to Microsoft Visual Studio.
My father is a computer science professor. I played computer games as far back as I can remember. Since my sister and I loved computer games, my dad asked us if we want to learn to make them. He taught us how to make little gambling games. I got obsessed!
This week I interviewed Estefannie and she explains all her programming beginnings to me!
1. What was the first thing that peaked your interest in programming?
Pixar. I grew up watching their films and I knew that I wanted to create anything in my imagination with just a computer. Many years later, I watched a documentary about Pixar and found that the people behind the films were computer scientists. This is how I found the degree I was looking for. A few years later, I graduated with a Bachelor's in Computer Science and a Mathematics minor.

On our way to India with Turkish Airways last November we had the opportunity to stop over in Istanbul for two days. I hadn't been in Turkey since 2005 and I was eager to re-visit this destination.
It was the first time in Istanbul for my husband so we had to get the popular tourist spots covered. We needed a convenient and central accommodation and we were very happy with our choice of Georges Hotel Galata. The 20-room boutique hotel is located in the heart of the modern district of Beyoğlu.
Georges Hotel is a minute away from Galata Tower, ten minutes from Galata bridge and Karaköy ferry terminal, twenty minutes from Taksim square. Apart from the taxi from / to the airport, one tram and two ferries we didn't have to use any other transportation during our stay.
To make the most of our limited time in Istanbul we planned our trip in advance with the help of Tailored Turkey, a travel company which designs luxury bespoke holidays to Turkey; they recommended our hotel and city tour, as well as restaurants to try during our visit.
We left London on Friday evening and checked in the hotel late at night. The next morning we met Duygu, our guide for the day from Istanbulite, a local walking tour company. Without Duygu we would have never been able to see so much of Istanbul in just one day, so I would definitely recommend booking this tour, especially if you are short of time.
We started the tour at 10:30am from our hotel, walked from Galata to Karaköy and from there we hopped on a tram across the Golden Horn and into the old town. This was the only transportation we used that day, the rest of the tour was entirely on foot. Over the next few hours we visited the Topkapı Palace, which was one of the major residences of the Ottoman sultans for almost 400 years of their 624-year reign.
Hagia Sophia – a former Christian patriarchal basilica, later an imperial mosque, and now a museum.
Sultan Ahmed Mosque, popularly known as the Blue Mosque for the blue tiles adorning the walls of its interior.
Unlike Hagia Sophia which is now a museum, Sultan Ahmed still functions as a religious site. The entrance is free, but there can be long queues due to its popularity. Women must cover their heads, shoulders and legs before entering the mosque.
Basilica Cistern – the largest of several hundred ancient cisterns that lie beneath the city of Istanbul. This is part of any tour of the old town and worth a visit in my opinion. It is impressive to see.
A very important factor to consider when booking a private tour of Istanbul is that tour guides have a special pass to skip the queue at ticket offices for the main sights, like Topkapi Palace or Hagia Sophia. It was already an advantage for us even though we visited in low season (mid-November). I bet this would be very useful at peak times in Spring / Summer.
By this point we needed a snack to keep us going until lunch time. Everywhere in Istanbul (particularly in touristic spots) you will see carts like this one, selling simit or corn on the cob. Our guide Duygu advised against the corn as it was out of season (it's best in summer), so we tried the simit instead.
Simit is a circular bread topped with sesame seeds, found across the cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire.
The next day we stumbled upon a little bakery called Tophane Tarihi Taş Fırın (around 15′ walk from our hotel). We bought freshly baked simit and it was so delicious! It was so much better than the one bought on the street near Hagia Sophia.
After lunch we walked to the Grand Bazaar, one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world. There are 61 streets inside the bazaar and over 3,000 shops! It's experience that you should not miss,.
The Grand Bazaar is a great place for shopping, but it's a huge place and everything looks the same to the eyes of a tourist. It is easy to be overwhelmed. When you get tired of shopping and haggling you can rest in one of the tiny cafes and food stalls inside Grand Bazaar, look around and soak up the experience.
I remember visiting Grand Bazaar with my parents as a teenager and spending a long time inside each shop, drinking tea while my parents were negotiating prices with the shop sellers. It's good to immerse yourself in the atmosphere, but be careful not be fooled with overpriced and low quality items.
At the Grand Bazaar you will find spices, but don't buy them here, go to the Spice Bazaar in Eminönü instead (10-15′ walk towards Galata bridge). You will also find baklava, but hold off: try the one from Güllüoğlu Bakery in Karaköy instead.
We walked to the Spice Bazaar where we bought lots of dried fruits, nuts and the famous Turkish Delights: small cubes of jelly, usually flavoured with rosewater, orange flower water or citrus fruit juice and dusted with icing sugar. I wouldn't have known which shop to buy them from, but luckily our guide Duygu was there to take us to the best sellers.
A good place to buy Turkish Delights in Istanbul is Haci Bekir, a confectionery store open since 1777. They have several stores, including one on Istiklal Street and one in Kadikoy.
Afterwards we walked to Eminönü and the Golden Horn. As night fell we walked across Galata Bridge watching the street food seller and fishermen at work on the busy streets.
For dinner we went to Sahrap, a restaurant in Beyoğlu about 10 minutes walk from our hotel. The whole neighbourhood was buzzing on Saturday night with packed restaurants and bars on every streets.
The first restaurant we tried as it was recommended to us by Tailored Turkey (Antiochia Concept) was fully booked. Luckily we found a table at Sahrap; it was outside on the porch, but it was a mild evening so we didn't mind.
The restaurant is owned by a celebrity chef, Sahrap Soysal, and it specialises in Anatolian cuisine. Not only you will find Turkish classics, but you will find many of them served with a modern twist. We shared a few mezze and ordered a glass of Yeni Raki to go with them: Bulgur with walnut balls and pomegranate syrup; charcoal grilled aubergine salad; hummus with shrimp.
As my main course I had the "Outstanding Special Kebab with Stone-oven Flatbread and Yoghurt". It was absolutely delicious!
The homemade baklava prepared according to Sahrap's family recipe was also fantastic. The chef was there in the restaurant, she walked around the tables as clearly knew many of the diners. There was a lovely family atmosphere which made me feel at home and welcome.
The next morning we decided to take it easy. Instead of taking a Bosphorus cruise from Kabataş as we had planned, we took the public ferry service from Karaköy to Kadıköy where we had arranged to meet a friend for lunch.
Taking a ferry across the Bosphorus is inexpensive and really worth it. The view of the old town as the boat leaves the Golden Horn is absolutely breathtaking.
Istanbul is a city built on two Continents divided by the Bosphorus Strait: the east and the west. The west part is then divided by the Golden Horn canal into north (modern) and south (old). This physical separation adds an incredible cultural richness and beauty to the city.
Kadıköy is on the Asian side and is a residential district for the Turkish middle class. It is a bustling commercial centre and not a big tourist destination. Come here to see a glimpse of the real Istanbul.
We walked to the fish market and had an amazing (and seriously cheap) lunch at Kadi Nimet Balikcilik. There are many fish restaurants at the Kadıköy market, but this is the only one that stays busy throughout the day, as they quality and prices are hard to beat.
After lunch we took the ferry back to Karaköy, one of Istanbul's trendiest neighbourhood. I expected this part of the city to be quiet on a Sunday luncht time / early afternoon. I was wrong! We walked past many bars and coffee shops packed with young people and groups of friends gathered outside on the streets.
We walked up the hill to Kronotrop, a speciality coffee shop in the neighbourhood of Cihangir, Beyoglu. Kronotrop opened in 2012, and is widely regarded as one of the first specialty coffee bar and roastery in all of Turkey. Unsurprisingly the shop was packed, but we managed to find space by the coffee counter at the back of the shop. My husband ordered a filter coffee (they use all the popular brewing methods such as AeroPress, V60, Chemex, etc.) while I tried the Turkish coffee.
Istanbul has a lively speciality coffee scene and there were many shops I wanted to visit (like Norm Coffee, Petra Roasting Co. and Cup of Joy). Sadly it was already time for us to leave Istanbul, so all the restaurants, coffee shops, museums and art galleries will have to wait for next time.
On the way to the airport we chatted to our taxi driver, a Turkish man who had lived in England for a few years before deciding to come back to Istanbul. We asked him why he made this decision, his reply was simple: to come back to his homeland. As an expat myself it made me wonder. There are many things I love about Rome , but would I ever go back? No, because I feel my city is stuck in time, it doesn't evolve, it's old. That's the opposite I felt about Istanbul: it's modern, eclectic and young but also deeply anchored to its history and culture. I happened to visit Istanbul three times, each visit was ten years, and every time I found the city had evolved and changed in positive ways. It this was my hometown, I'd be extremely proud. Well done, Istanbul. I cannot wait to be back to explore this city with more time.

Mississippi State Looks To Avoid A Sweep
MSU looks to get things going in game three against Vanderbilt.

Share All sharing options for: Mississippi State Looks To Avoid A Sweep
STARKVILLE, Miss. – After a 10-1 loss on Saturday, the Diamond Dawgs look to avoid a clean sweep in their Southeastern Conference series opener.
Following Saturday's loss, MSU fell to 10-9 and 0-2 in the SEC, while Vanderbilt improved to 14-5 and 2-0 in the SEC.
Vanderbilt took a 1-0 lead the first inning, but the game was dominated by pitchers for most of the game.
The score would remain the same through seven frames, but the pitcher's dual took a 180-degree turn, and was turned into a blowout, as the Commodores scored seven runs in the eighth inning. They added two more runs in the ninth inning.
The Diamond Dawgs avoided a shutout, as Tanner Allen hit solo home run to right field in the ninth inning, but MSU fell 10-1.
Ethan Small (1-2) was charged with the loss, despite a solid 6.1 innings of work. He only gave up one run on 4 hits, while striking out eight batters.
Patrick Raby (2-2) picked up the win for Vanderbilt with five innings of work. He allowed no runs on five hits, and struck out five batters.

Justin Bieber Has Lyme Disease and Says He's "Overcoming" it
He said he struggled to get a diagnosis and find the right treatment.
By Brittney McNamara
In a new Instagram post, Justin Bieber said he's been battling Lyme disease and chronic mono.
Justin opened up about his health struggles on Instagram after a TMZ article revealed his Lyme diagnosis. He posted screen shots of the article, which said Justin dealt with depression before his Lyme was diagnosed because he was having symptoms but doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong. Despite the various health issues, Justin said he's working on getting healthy now that he has a diagnosis and treatment plan. He plans to talk more about his health in his upcoming YouTube docuseries.
"While a lot of people kept saying Justin Bieber looks like sh*t, ... they failed to realize I've been recently diagnosed with Lyme disease, not only that but had a serious case of chronic mono which affected my, skin, brain function, energy, and overall health," he wrote. "These things will be explained further in a docuseries I'm putting on YouTube shortly.. you can learn all that I've been battling and OVERCOMING!! It's been a rough couple years but getting the right treatment that will help treat this so far incurable disease and I will be back and better than ever NO CAP."
Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness that's often marked by a rash around a tick bite that looks like a bull's eye, according to the Mayo Clinic. While symptoms of the disease can vary, early signs include the rash, fever, chills, aches, neck stiffness, and more. If left untreated, later symptoms of the illness include migraines, joint pain, neurological problems and more. While antibiotics can usually treat Lyme disease, the Mayo Clinic notes that some experience symptoms even after treatment and develop what's known as post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome. Not much is known about this syndrome, including what causes it, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there's no proven treatment.
Hailey Bieber addressed her husband's diagnosis in a series of tweets. She asked people to do their research on Lyme before weighing in on it, and thanking the Hadid family and Avril Lavigne for helping educate her and others on the diagnosis.
"For those who are trying to downplay the severity of Lyme disease. Please do your research and listen to the stories of people who have suffered with it for years. Making fun of and belittling a disease you don't understand is never the way, all it takes is educating yourself," she wrote. "I wanna say a huge thank you to @YolandaHadid and @bellahadid and @GiGiHadid for bringing me so much clarity and information on Lyme disease and for helping answer my questions about course of action, symptoms etc. Love you 3 amazing women! And sending so much love to @AvrilLavigne thank you for all you do to educate people about Lyme. You're amazing ."

Yolanda and Bella Hadid have both been open about their own struggles with Lyme disease and post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome. Anwar Hadid, Bella's brother, also dealt with Lyme disease.
With new music out and his docuseries on the horizon, it's great that Justin is getting treatment so he can be healthy and ready for the work ahead.

Life Of A Scientist: Can I Still Love Art?
When I was a high school student, the message being broadcast by my science teachers was that as a student you need to somehow "pick a side" between the "sciences" and the "humanities". Of course, in their view "the sciences" were the superior subjects for the intellectually minded, while "the humanities" were airy-fairy stuff for the weaker element (and, subliminally, girls). I found this especially upsetting because as a teenager I was a huge fan of literature and art. I've always been a complete bookworm and I love to draw (poorly) and to learn about other people's art. But I was never under the impression that these were the sort of things I should be spending my time on – and so I didn't.
Fast forward the better part of a decade – I am now an actual scientist and not only do I still love art but I find it very useful in my day-to-day science job. Writing in particular is an art form that is an essential part of what it means to be a scientist. Discovering something cool is of absolutely no relevance if nobody else knows about it. In fact, failing to explain what you've discovered or to convey its relevance to others will end the brightest scientific career very quickly. The idea that scientists are ivory-tower academics who never need to explain themselves is based more on the popular-culture stereotype of STEM professionals than on scientists themselves. In fact, it's often the case that those who get the more coveted faculty positions are not necessarily the brightest minds but those who have a gift for convincing others that their research has value. And that is done through speaking and writing.
As it turns out, loving art has its advantages. Reading great writing is how great writing develops. More importantly, art is a wonderful thing. Beauty is in everything – especially in science. Art makes life (and science) much more enjoyable – and that in itself is a great reason to not let your love for it fall by the wayside.
An ambitious goal, a noble motivation, a fascinating adventure!
