A KPMG report released on Thursday recommends that the city of Fort McMurray, Alta., which is working to rebuild after last year's wildfire, implements policies that would encourage 'building back better,' such as offering tax rebates for individuals that use fire-resistant materials.

Fort McMurray is not rebuilding in a way that would best shield the city from natural disasters such as floods and fires because of a push to ensure the recovery is done quickly and cheaply, according to an independent review of the city's response to the 2016 wildfire.
The report, prepared by KPMG and released on Thursday, detailed gaps in Fort McMurray's emergency preparation plans and forest management practices prior to the fire. And now, the city is not enforcing its own bylaws and residents are not always choosing the materials that would protect their homes, the report concludes.
The fire forced 88,000 to flee from Fort McMurray and surrounding areas in May of last year. It destroyed 1,595 buildings, which contained 2,600 housing units, and triggered almost $4-billion in insurance claims. The city started rebuilding in June, 2016, and the process is expected to take another three to four years.

As part of that process, local lawmakers rolled out policies designed to "build back better." This strategy, however, has been trumped by a push to contain costs and speed up the recovery, the report said. Further, the review suggested the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, which includes Fort McMurray, should consider tax rebates so folks rebuilding can afford to build more resilient structures.
For example, the report highlights what happened in Waterways, a riverside neighbourhood hit hard by the wildfire.
After the fire, Fort McMurray passed a bylaw to buy out some properties on a high-risk slope, yet allowed four properties within the zone to rebuild, the report said. Further, council approved a bylaw allowing reconstruction in a flood area in Waterways without implementing flood mitigation measures.
"This is an example of where the need for timely recovery may have been prioritized over the principle of building back better," the report said.
Insurance companies and other programs provided money for residents to rebuild homes and infrastructure, but payments were generally capped at an amount that would return structures to pre-fire conditions, KPMG said. In turn, residents would be on the hook for costs associated with rebuilding in a safer location or purchasing fire-resistant products. That means those two things aren't always happening.
"This financial burden represents a significant barrier to residents, as many are unwilling or unable to pay out-of-pocket for upgraded and less flammable materials," the report said. "Consequently, it is unlikely that most structures will be built back better."
The firm recommended implementing policies that would support "building back better," such as tax rebates for folks using fire-resistant materials.
The KPMG report found Fort McMurray's previous attempts to mitigate fire damage lacking. For example, the city's adherence to FireSmart, an established program that contains a number of strategies such as cutting down trees and educating citizens to best protect communities from wildfires, fell by the wayside.
"Vegetation management, education and planning disciplines of FireSmart may not have been implemented consistently or sustained over time," the report said. There was a "gap" in managing vegetation between 2012 to 2016, KPMG said, but noted "it was reported" these activities happened outside Fort McMurray's $290,000 FireSmart government grant.
Mayor Melissa Blake said prior to the disaster the FireSmart program struggled in part because residents resisted changes in their community.
"Every time we look at taking a tree down, we get 100 complaints on what the impact on the neighbourhood will be," she told reporters Thursday.
Budgets also played a role, she said.
"We had an awful lot going on in that same time period in terms of growth," she said. "Now, we have an economic downturn that has an influence."
FireSmart grants, she said, were "significantly less" prior to the fire than now. Indeed, KPMG noted the regional municipality now has a three-year FireStart plan with a $14-million budget. The fire and its fallout, Ms. Blake said, has made residents open to FireSmart's tree removal plan.
"Our acceptance level right now in this community is so much higher because of the actual experience."
The Fort McMurray fire is among several recent especially bad fire seasons in recent memory, in Alberta and elsewhere, amid research that shows changes in the climate have increased the frequency and severity of destructive wildfires.
B.C. is currently under a state of emergency after a sudden increase in the number of fires across the province earlier this month, which have destroyed dozens of homes and forced evacuations affecting tens of thousands people.
The single-largest evacuation order, which covered about 10,000 people who live in the community of Williams Lake, was lifted on Thursday, although the city remains on alert to leave again at a moment's notice. The provincial government has been making payments of up to $1,200 to evacuees, and earlier this month the Canadian Forces deployed personnel to the province to help.

It Might Have Been What He Said: A Novel
Eden CollinsworthOct 2011
Sold by Skyhorse
$6.99 Ebook
Isabel was able to remember the precise moment she tried killing her husband. Strangely enough, she couldn't recollect why. A page-turning tale of tangled love, which makes for perfect summer reading. Thus begins the powerful story of Isabel, who, at the age of 28, has been granted early success as the head of a publishing house. . . a woman of taste and discernment, endowed with enviable wit and a razor-sharp mind. Yet, as the novel opens, we know that Isabel is in great trouble and has possibly lost her mind. Elegantly yet sparely written, hers is a tale of seduction, vertiginous love, and colossal betrayal. When Isabel meets James-a handsome, aristocratic, highly talented writer known in equal parts for his entitlement, drinking, and gift for charming women-she falls head over heels for him, despite all her friends' dire warnings. Breaking his past pattern, however, James also falls for Isabel, and they decide to marry. However improbable a couple, they confound their family and friends, becoming an ideal match, as much in love with each other as they are devoted to their son. The question is: What happens to drive Isabel to her act of insanity?

George Orwell's celebrated novella, Animal Farm, is a biting, allegorical, political satire on totalitarianism in general and Stalinism in particular. One of the most famous works in modern English literature, it is a telling comment on Soviet Russia under Stalin's brutal dictatorship based on a cult of personality which was enforced through a reign of terror. The book tells a seemingly simple story of farm animals who rebel against their master in the hope of stopping their exploitation at the hand of humans and creating a society where animals would be equal, free and happy. Ultimately, however, the rebellion is betrayed and the farm ends up in a state as bad as it was before. The novel thus demonstrates how easily good intentions can be subverted into tyranny.Orwell has himself said that it was the first book in which he had tried, with full consciousness of what he was doing, 'to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole.' The book was first published in England in 1945, and has since then remained a favourite with readers all over the world, and has consistently been included in all prestigious bestseller lists for the past many years.

A teenager's attempt to maintain psychological integrity-the maladaptive coping mechanisms she uses as a way to stay alive and her path to recovery. You say it's up to me to do the talking. You lean forward, place a box of tissues in front of me and your black leather chair groans, like a living thing. Like the cow it used to be before somebody killed it and turned it into a chair in a shrink's office in a loony bin. Fifteen-year old Callie is so withdrawn that she's not speaking to anyone -including her therapist at the residential treatment facility where her parents and doctor send her after discovering that she cuts herself. Her story unfolds primarily through dramatic monologues, gradually revealing the family turmoil that led to her self-destructive behavior. Her little brother, Sam, is ill -he nearly died in her care. Since Sam's illness, Callie's mother has become so worried and fragile, she rarely leaves the house; she sees danger everywhere. Her father has responded to the psychological and financial stress of Sam's illness by disappearing into his work, and when that doesn't work, into his drinking. None of this is clear at first, though, especially not to Callie. Only after a cutting incident that scares her, does Callie begin talking -to her therapist and the other girls at Sea Pines. Cut alternates between scenes of life inside the institution with its strange rules and characters and a series of exchanges between Callie and her therapist in which she addresses the therapist only as you. Callie's efforts to understand herself and her family illuminate her process of recovery honestly and with hope. Cut provides an insightful look at the psychology of cutting -a form of self-abuse an estimated 2 million teenage girls inflict on themselves.

A case report of unilateral conductive hearing loss as a consequence of malignant sinonasal melanoma: the importance of completing a full clinical history and examination

Sinonasal melanoma is a rare head and neck tumour. It is associated with a poor prognosis, high rates of loco-regional recurrence and distant metastasis. Treatment of the disease is therefore complicated, and because of limited data regarding the cancer, management is frequently tailored to the individual patient. We describe an unusual presentation of sinonasal melanoma with relevant histology, radiology and clinical photography.
The case report describes the presentation of a 64-year-old man to the Ear, Nose and Throat department with progressive right-sided hearing loss. A thorough history highlighted other clinical symptoms including unilateral nasal obstruction and epistaxis. Clinical examination showed a right middle ear effusion with a polypoidal lesion in the right nasal cavity. Relevant imaging demonstrated a destructive process that required further assessment. An endoscopic sinus procedure was performed to obtain histological diagnosis as well as providing symptomatic relief. Histology confirmed malignant mucosal melanoma. The patient underwent maxillectomy and orbital exenteration (due to further progression of disease) at a tertiary centre with a plan for subsequent immunotherapy. This however has been delayed due to further surgery to excise a metastatic lesion to the right femur.
This case report highlights the importance of a thorough clinical history and examination. An unusual presentation of a sinonasal tumour can easily be missed leading to a significant delay in treatment. The case report also describes the use of functional endoscopic sinus surgery in order to obtain histological diagnosis and to debulk the tumour, providing symptomatic relief. The current literature regarding management will be discussed as well as current developments guiding future treatment.
Mucosal melanoma of the sinonasal cavity accounts for 5% of head and neck mucosal melanomas that is estimated to be 25–30% of total melanomas [1]. Like other melanomas, it is associated with a poor prognosis, high rates of locoregional recurrence and distant metastasis, often as a result of late presentation [1, 2]. The 5-year survival rate ranges between 15 and 28%, with median survival less than 2 years following diagnosis [2].
Melanocytes arise embryologically from the neuroectoderm and are found in the basal layer of the skin and some mucosal surfaces, such as the mucosa of the sinonasal cavity [3]. Unlike cutaneous melanoma, in which UV light exposure is a known risk factor, there is no evidence of associated risk factors in mucosal melanoma [2, 3]. However, research has hypothesised that air pollution and occupational exposure to formaldehyde may be contributing factors [4,5,6].
Sinonasal mucosal melanoma usually presents in patients between 65 and 70 years of age [6]. It is more prevalent in both Caucasian and Asian populations [6]. Although there is no difference in gender prevalence, the incidence is currently increasing in women [3, 6].
The most common presenting symptoms include epistaxis and nasal obstruction [6]. Other symptoms include epiphora, anosmia and rhinorrhoea [3, 6]. This is likely due to tumour location and progression, which often arises from the nasal septum, inferior and middle turbinates and lateral nasal wall [3, 6, 7]. Only 20% of tumours arise from the sinuses [3, 6, 7]. At present, a third of patients show evidence of neck or distant metastases [7].
Worldwide published guidelines describe the mainstay of treatment for sinonasal melanoma to be radical surgery with the aim of clear surgical margins [2, 6]. However, the main consequence of such radical treatment is severe functional loss. Therefore, it is not currently indicated where metastasis has been proven [2, 6]. Primary and adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy have been used with varying results [2, 6].
We describe an unusual presentation of sinonasal melanoma and discuss current literature regarding management and future therapeutic developments.
A 64-year-old man presented to the Ear, Nose and Throat clinic with a 4-month history of worsening right sided hearing loss. He also described progressive unilateral nasal obstruction and epistaxis. On direct questioning, he reported worsening hyposmia, facial paraesthesia in the region of right V2 (maxillary branch of trigeminal nerve) as well as right epiphora.
On clinical examination, a polypoidal lesion was obstructing the right nasal cavity. Oral and neck examination was otherwise unremarkable. Otoscopy revealed findings consistent with a right middle ear effusion. Pure tone audiogram demonstrated a mild-to-moderate unilateral conductive hearing loss.
Computed tomography (CT) of the sinuses demonstrated a polypoidal lesion obstructing the right nasal cavity as well as opacification of the right maxillary sinus (Fig. 1). There was also obstruction of the frontal, anterior and posterior ethmoidal sinuses. Furthermore, the CT showed loss of the lamina papyracea with invasion of the lesion into the right orbit and displacement of the right inferior rectus muscle. Although the CT report suggested a possible benign aetiology, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was requested to further characterise the lesion.

MRI sinuses confirmed extension of the lesion from the right maxillary sinus into the right nasal cavity and ethmoid sinuses (Fig. 2). Invasion into the right orbit, displacing the right inferior rectus muscle was demonstrated. Additionally, there was opacification of the right mastoid air cells and evidence of a right middle ear effusion.

As part of the investigative process, he was tested for HIV (which was negative) and referred to ophthalmology for further assessment of his vision.
Differential diagnoses included inverted papilloma, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), undifferentiated carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, rhabdomyosarcomas and lymphoma. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) was performed (Fig. 3) in which the lesion was debulked and biopsies were taken from multiple sites within the nasal cavity, postnasal space (PNS) and sinuses. It was decided not to insert a ventilation tube but to provide the patient with a hearing aid. This minimises the post-operative risk of a constantly discharging ear that may ultimately affect the use chemoradiotherapy. If enough of the tumour could be debulked, this may improve eustachian tube drainage and thereby allow the effusion to resolve.

Histology showed patchy necrosis composed of poorly differentiated and pleomorphic cells with a high mitotic index. Melanin was focally identified and, following immunohistochemistry, confirmed as malignant melanoma.
Following diagnosis, the patient was referred to a tertiary centre where he had a maxillectomy and orbital exenteration (due to progression of disease). Following this, the plan was to perform immunotherapy. However, this has been delayed due to a metastatic lesion in the right femur which was to be excised prior to proceeding with further management.
Evidence-based management is difficult due to the rarity of sinonasal mucosal melanoma. The mainstay of treatment remains radical surgery with clear surgical margins (1.5–2 cm) [7]. Without clear margins, the risk of local and distant spread increases [8]. Extensive surgery however impacts both function and aesthetics, and therefore, the patient's co-morbidities and quality of life should be considered [6, 7].
FESS remains controversial due to difficulty in ensuring clear surgical margins [7, 8]. However, in our case, FESS provided a histological diagnosis and substantially debulked the tumour, providing significant symptomatic relief whilst preserving function. An endoscopic approach is often confined to specialised units and indicated only in lesions confined to the nasal cavity, where similar surgical margins would be expected via an external approach [7, 8]. However, current literature regarding endoscopic management is limited and therefore its impact on overall survival and recurrence rate is promising but requires further research [7, 8]. Lymph node dissection is only performed in confirmed nodal involvement [7]. This is further supported by literature, which has previously demonstrated that nodal involvement is not a clear predictor of long-term outcome [8].
Mucosal melanoma has previously been documented to be resistant to radiotherapy, due to the recovery capability of melanoma cells post-irradiation [6]. Although adjuvant radiotherapy can be used in cases of positive surgical margins, local recurrence and palliation, there is no evidence it improves survival [6, 8]. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has however demonstrated an improvement in local disease control compared with conventional radiotherapy [6,7,8]. Five-year survival data has shown that although patients demonstrate low levels of local recurrence post-surgical management (with/without radiotherapy), clinical evidence of distant metastasis can be found in up to 80% [8]. This confirms that more research is required into metastatic disease in order to improve overall prognosis [8].
The consensus regarding the use of chemotherapy is that it is of benefit in metastatic disease as well as palliative care [6]. Literature has not shown any improvement in survival benefit when it is used in combination with surgery. Dacarbazine, paclitaxel and carboplatin have been used both individually and in combination with one another in the treatment of metastatic mucosal melanoma with overall survival benefit demonstrated [9].
The use of immunotherapy (both alone and in combination with chemotherapy) in the treatment of mucosal melanoma is novel and has shown promising results [9]. Research into immunotherapy is vital in the treatment of metastasis, especially given that there is an 80% chance over 5 years of patients developing distant disease [9, 10]. The use of interleukin-2 and interferon-alpha have been used in the treatment of distant metastasis [7]. There has also been suggestion that neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy may reduce extent of local disease, increasing the possibility of clear margins [9]. Although current data regarding this is too limited to demonstrate clinical effectiveness, reducing tumour bulk prior to surgical treatment may reduce the risk of functional loss, as well as providing a more favourable aesthetic result.
The confirmation of genetic mutations in mucosal melanoma has demonstrated that mucosal melanoma differs genetically from its cutaneous counterpart and has subsequently led to development in monoclonal antibodies with promising results [8, 10]. Drugs that target proto-oncogenes such as imatinib and dasatinib have been shown a significant response in overall disease control by up to 50% [10].
Our case highlights the importance of a thorough clinical history and examination. We recommend that any new unilateral middle ear effusion causing persistent conductive hearing loss should be treated with significant concern by clinicians. This allows patients to be diagnosed early with the best possible chance of survival. Although endoscopic approaches have been used with success in the control of local disease, no current literature found has described the use of FESS in providing symptomatic relief. Our case demonstrates that FESS is a viable surgical technique to obtain histological diagnosis whilst debulking the tumour, conferring significant symptomatic relief.

Lewis Hamilton 'fully aligned' with US athletes' Jacob Blake protests but will NOT boycott Belgian GP
Real reason why F1 legend Johnny Herbert and fellow pundit Paul Di Resta were axed by Sky Sports revealed
'Have you still got it?' – Lewis Hamilton emotionally reveals he fears he'll never win another F1 title after tough 2022
LEWIS HAMILTON will NOT boycott the Belgian Grand Prix despite being "fully aligned" with the Jacob Blake protests.
A number of American athletes boycotted games after widespread unrest in response to the shooting of Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Lewis Hamilton will race in Belgian despite his support for American boycotts
Blake, a black man, was shot seven times in the back by Police in horrifying footage and has been left paralysed from the waist down.
In response, three NBA play-off games, two Major League Baseball matches, three WNBA games and five MLS football fixtures were postponed after player-led protests.
Hamilton – a leading voice during the Black Lives Matter movement in recent months – will still race on.
He told Sky Sports: "It's a shame that's what's needed over there to get a reaction.
"But that is in America and I don't know if really me doing anything here will particularly have any effect.
"We're in Belgium, we're not in the United States.
"I haven't spoken to anyone about it but I am really proud with so many out there and I do stand unified with them.
"Trying to do what I can over here, I don't really know how us not doing the race, it will still go on, is a thing.
"But I will try to speak to Formula 1 to see what else we can do to continue to raise awareness.
"Naturally as a sport, I think we all need to be aligned, supportive of each other, even though it's a different sport."
The six-time world champ elaborated on his feelings about the racial injustices across the Atlantic.
He added: "Ultimately it's disgusting that minorities and people out there have to protest to get justice.
"And even when they do, justice is still not given.
"It's such a mess over there but I'm really so inspired and proud of the other athletes out there that are utilising the platform they have, using their voice.
"We already started seeing it with Colin Kaepernick a long time ago – it's like four years ago now – who lost his job for standing for what was right.
"There needs to be change and it's going to take all of these great athletes and people coming together to really push and force for change, because it needs to be forced.
"Because at the moment you've got the president sitting there not doing anything and you see Martin Luther King obviously was fighting for the same issues 60 years ago and gave his life up, and we're still fighting it today.
"I just take a lot of inspiration from it and I feel fully aligned with them. My heart and thoughts and prayers go out to those continuously on a daily basis are losing their lives through racism."

I always forget how good eggy bread is until I have it, and then wonder why I don't eat it every weekend. Fried buttery bready goodness served with sweet strawberries, what's not to love!
Add the eggs, milk and salt to a shallow bowl and mix well.
Melt the butter over a medium heat in a frying pan.
Whilst the butter is melting dip each piece of bread in to the egg mix, completely coating both sides.
When the butter starts to bubble place the egg covered bread into the frying pan.
Remove the bread from the pan, slice and place on warm plates.


Grape Picking in Australia is a big business and wine is one of the biggest agricultural products in the country.
There are many different regions that produce wine and at harvest they need a large casual workforce to pick the harvest.
When the harvest takes place is determined by the weather but I have provided an time frame of when the harvest begins.
The harvest can last up to 2-3 months depending on the yield.
So you can see that the harvest times for grapes around Australia are pretty much the same time but if you wanted to pencil in January through to March you should be able to find grape picking work in all the southern states. South Australia might be your best bet because of how much work there is to be done. and consequently you should be able to get a longer period of work. If there was an early harvest in Hunter Valley and a late harvest in South Australia you might be able to do this back to back.


I have updated this piece and will be updating the write ups for my other pieces soon, too.
The reason for this is because my mental health diagnosis' changed.
Originally, it was thought that I had a co morbid personality disorder of Borderline Personality Disorder and Antisocial Personality Disorder. After a lot of therapy, it has come to light that I in fact, do not have ASPD. But I suffer with Dissociative Identity Disorder, this was easily misdiagnosed because I share co-consciousness with one of my alters a lot of the time. This personality can appear hostile, violent and aggressive, therefore it was believed that I was diagnosed ASPD because one of my alters has a very 'antisocial' personality.
With this in mind, it doesn't change the nature or meaning of this painting that much. It simply suggests to me that the left half of the portrait signifies my core personality, while the left – in this case represents another personality that I share co-consciously with the majority of the time.
With DID, the personality states split off when trauma is repetitive and too painful to deal with, so we dissociate. Dissociation is a common experience for most people, it isn't uncommon for people to experience daydreaming or a sense of feeling as though they are watching their own lives unfold in front of them. People with DID experience dissociation on a much more severe level.


We have been reporting on the Galaxy Tab S4 for a few months now and much like its predecessor, Samsung's new flagship tablet will be available in both Wi-Fi and LTE variants. The US variant of the Galaxy Tab S4 has now surfaced online bearing model number SM-T837P. It's going be the LTE variant of the tablet meant for Sprint. The SM-T835 has previously been spotted and it's the Wi-Fi only model of the tablet.
Earlier sightings of the Galaxy Tab S4, be it its Bluetooth certification or Geekbench appearance, have revealed Android 8.0 Oreo as the operating system. This latest sighting hints at the possibility of the tablet launching with Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box.
Samsung is yet to release Android 8.1 Oreo for its devices even though it has already released for many compatible devices. The Galaxy Note 9 will most definitely be its first smartphone to come with Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box.
As far as the specifications are concerned, the Galaxy Tab S4 may be powered by the Snapdragon 835 processor with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. Samsung will be shifting to the 16:10 aspect ratio for its 10.5-inch display. The tablet may also feature a 13-megapixel rear and 8-megapixel front camera.
Samsung appears to have a new accessory for the Galaxy Tab S4 in the pipeline as well. A "Book Cover Keyboard" has been certified in South Korea by the Radio Research Agency. The model number suggests that this accessory is for the Galaxy Tab S4.
It's still unclear at this point in time when Samsung is going to launch the Galaxy Tab S4. One would expect the company to launch the new tablet at IFA 2018 but the possibility exists that it may launch the tablet before the Berlin-based trade show takes place in September this year.

How can Same Same be Different?
Picture this: Two Indian guys were sitting in a chai shop next to me. They were drinking chai in small glasses, talking about their jobs (or maybe it was their wives). I couldn't make out everything they were saying, but each in turn, was obviously complaining about something. Near the end of their conversation I heard one say with a typical Indian horizontal nod of the head "same same but different!".
And I started to think about what makes each day different.
But any kind of action will generate results and results are something we can use an learn from.
So my New Years Resolution for 2011 is to help as many of you to take action and have a great day.
And if you've seen any of my "How To" videos you know that I this is my motto.

Izabel Goulart Biography
Biography by Clarence Published on 08 Jul, 2016 Updated on 08 Jul, 2016
Facts of Izabel Goulart
1984 , October-23
Maria Izabel Goulart Dourado
S�o Carlos, S�o Paulo
Toshiba Cool Planet Award
View more / View Less Facts of Izabel Goulart
Izabel Goulart is a Brazilian model. She is known for her work as a Victoria�s Secret�s lingerie model and is one of the Victoria�s Secret Angels from 2005 to now. She was born on October 23, 1984. She is also extremely popular for her work with Armani Exchange, an Italian fashion house. Her nationality is Brazil but she is of Italian and Portuguese descent.
Izabel first went to S�o Paulo to pursue her modeling career. Shortly afterward, she moved to France to develop her career. At the age of 17, she returned to S�o Paulo and joined her former agency Success. She met Ney Alves, currently the director of Major Models Brazil, who launched her career in the Brazilian fashion world.
Her first ever fashion show was an unfortunate disaster as she experienced a wardrobe malfunction when her top fell open. This incident made into the Brazilian newspapers but she did not make one obstacle block her path towards success. She put it behind her and returned to modeling again.
She modelled collections for A-List designers such as Alberta Ferretti, Bill Blass, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Isabel Marant, Givenchy, Altuzarra, Oscar de la Renta, Valentino, Balmain, Jil Sander, Chanel, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Emilio Pucci, Dolce and Gabbana, Emanuel Ungaro, Loewe, Roberto Cavalli , Stella McCartney, and many others. She has also modeled famous companies like H&M, Express, Neiman Marcus, Missoni, and Dsquared.
She first made an appearance in Victoria�s Secret Fashion Show in 2005 as an Angel. She received a star on the Hollywood �Walk of Fame� prior to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2007. She has appeared in magazines and their covers such as Marie Claire, Vogue, GQ and Glamour among others. The model has also appeared in a campaign for Avon, Spring/Summer 2011 campaign for Dolce and Gabbana, the Pre-Fall 2011 campaign for Givenchy, Yamamay's 10th Anniversary Collection and the Fall/Winter 2011 campaign for DKNY Jeans and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
She is ranked 12 on the Top 20 sexiest models and 29th in the Money Girls ranking at Models.com. In 2007, she won the Cool Magazine's "Toshiba Cool Planet Award" in the category of "Best Model". In May 2007, she was also chosen as one of People magazine�s �100 Most Beautiful People in the World�. More on this can be found in her bio.
Goulart was born in S�o Carlos, S�o Paulo, Brazil. She has a big family consisting of five siblings: four brothers and a sister. She loves her family and her mom�s cooking as she once said that the hardest part of being a Victoria�s Secret Angel was being away from them. She was a skinny girl in her school years and her friends would make fun of her for it, calling her names like �giraffe�. At the age of 14, a hair stylist suggested she should become a model, which led her towards the path of a successful modeling career. Since 2015, she is in a relationship with Kevin Trapp, the first goalkeeper from football club Paris Saint-Germain.
Izabel maintains her banging body with some good exercises, health routines, and proper diet and has inspired her Instagram and Tumblr feed by sharing them. �Health is one of the biggest treasures we have in life and has always been my priority,� explains Goulart.
Izabel Goulart stands 5 ft 9.5 inches tall. Her weight is 117 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes. She has a net worth of 6.2 million dollars which shows how good her salary as a model is.

Shocker: Democrats Lose Major NAPO Endorsement to Trump
President Trump continues to make all of the right moves to set the Democrats back years in their quest for control of the White House. Terrorist liberals seek to defund the police around the country. They have sided with groups determined to remove law enforcement by stripping them of the money needed to keep the streets of America safe.
They praise the Black Lives Matter mafia as they parade around tearing down monuments and hurting people in the process. The cries of the public for the liberal leaders to act fall on deaf ears as more people lose it all at the hands of the terrorists.
But President Trump has not turned his back on the people. He called the family of the slain 19-year-old boy when Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan refused to talk to them. He sends out the National Guard to protect people and to help get supplies to them when the Democrats refuse to lift one figure to help. And he certainly supports all the military and law enforcement officers serving to keep American safe and a great place to live and work.
Wednesday marked the demise of the Democratic Party in Washington as the National Association of Police Organizations decided to fully endorse the president for the coming 2020 election. There is not one cop in America that is going to vote for the liberals in November. The sheer number of votes that the NAPO guarantees sends a clear message to President Trump haters that their time in Washington is coming to an end.
The NAPO has had a track record of backing liberal candidates. They back Joe Biden in 2008 and 2012, but this time they refuse to side with a man that has vocally and physically turned his back on the police forces of the United States of America. In a virtual meeting, the members voted overwhelmingly to endorse President Trump in 2020. This is a major blow to the pride and arrogance of the Democrats. They are losing votes by the millions by their insistence on backing and supporting crime in cities around the country.
The president of the NAPO is Mick McHale. He stated that "And President Trump earned that endorsement with a greater margin of the two-thirds that participated in today's meeting. So, it's with great pride that I announce on behalf of our National Association of Police Organizations, our endorsement of President Donald J. Trump."
They are now members of the President's club of the hated by the self-proclaimed elite of liberals that want to overthrow America.
This endorsement is just the start of a major landslide win for the president. The NAPO is the heart of over 1,000 police associations and 241,000 cops. Bernie Kerik is a former NYPD Commissioner and he noted that "You have to realize, [there are] 800,000 to 900,000 local, state and federal police officers, law enforcement officers in this country. And, if they're watching the news, if they're watching what's going on a daily basis around the country — whether it's Atlanta, New York City, Baltimore, Portland, or Seattle — the Democrats are completely anti-police, anti-law enforcement."
These words are coming from a group of people that once voted for Joe Biden. But they can no longer go along with the hatred and neglect that he and his fellow leaders have given to the police.
Kerik rightly calls the president "a super pro-law and order president." The rule of law and order is a mark of the American legal system. It makes freedom possible along with the selfless service of men and women that serve as police officers around the country. Kerik mentioned that "Listen, the president's going to do everything in his power, and I think a lot of this is going to have to do with putting the ATF, the FBI, the DEA and the Marshal Service in these communities start taking out the gangs, start taking out the guns, and cleaning up the communities so that people can live there safely — which is what the Democrats are not doing."
It is just a matter of time before the president wins against the people that are terrorizing Americans.

Q: Bootstrap Carousel not initializing in Angular Component I have an Angular template which is supposed to show a Bootstrap Carousel on a page but nothing is showing up. I've added the example code from the Bootstrap website underneath and that code works fine. Here is the code:

*

*Angular 1.5.5

*Bootstrap 3.3.1

Angular Component
( function( $ ) {
  'use strict';

  angular
    .module( 'mct' )
    .component( 'mctCarousel', {
      templateUrl: 'components/mct-carousel/mct-carousel.tmpl',
      bindings: {
        uid: '@',
        options: '<',
      },
      controller: CarouselController,
    });

  function CarouselController() {

    var ctrl = this;

    $( '#carousel-example-generic' ).carousel();

    ctrl.$onInit = function() {
      $( '#' + ctrl.uid ).carousel();
    };

    ctrl.slide = function( dir ) {
      console.log( ctrl.uid );
      $( '#' + ctrl.uid ).carousel( dir );
    };

  }

})( jQuery );

Angular Component Template

 1" class="carousel-indicators hidden-sm hidden-xs">

{{:: slide.blurb.title }}

{{:: slide.blurb.description }}

                {{:: slide.blurb.button_label || "Click Here" }}

 1" class="left carousel-control hidden-md hidden-lg" ng-click="$ctrl.slide('prev')" role="button" data-target="#{{:: $ctrl.uid }}" data-slide="prev">

  Previous

 1" class="right carousel-control hidden-md hidden-lg" ng-click="$ctrl.slide('next')" role="button" data-target="#{{:: $ctrl.uid }}" data-slide="next">

  Next

        ...

        ...

    ...

    Previous

    Next

This is the result:
There are 2 carousel's (one on top of the other). But the first one is not being initialized correctly. I have a feeling it has to do with the fact that the first one has all the Angular logic and it must interfere with Bootstrap initializing it correctly.

A: I was able to figure this out by adding angular code to the generic example line by line until I finally broke the generic.
The problem is stated in the Angular 1.5.7 docs (https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/interpolation - "Dynamically Changing an interpolated value").
Basically I can't have halign-{{:: slide.blurb.horizontal_alignment }} valign-{{:: slide.blurb.vertical_alignment }} in my class attribute since I'm using ng-class
Once I remove the interpolated value's from the class attribute, everything started working properly.

Ben Carson Calls For Strict Background Checks On Syrian Immigrants
By: Katrina Manning | September 1, 2015
Republican presidential hopeful, Ben Carson, was interviewed on Sunday by ABC's "This Week," where he discussed the screening process for Syrian migrants. He said, "I would recognize that bringing in people from the Middle East right now carries extra danger. And we have to be extra cautious. You know, the typical mechanisms that we use for screening people, perhaps, have to be enhanced. How does it, you know, let people like the Tsarnaev brothers in here?" This isn't the first time that Carson has called for stringent background checks on Syrian migrants attempting to enter the country.
On Saturday, Carson stated "We have to recognize that this is a splendid opportunity for the global jihadists to infiltrate those numbers with members of their own organization. So we would have to have in place a very excellent screening mechanism. Until we had such a mechanism in place, we should not be bringing anyone in." President Obama has recently pledged to accept 10,000 Syrian migrants into the U.S. Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev immigrated with their family to the U.S. in 2002 and were granted refugee status. The brothers then Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev immigrated with their family to the U.S. in 2002 and were granted refugee status.

This was my first cell phone! So much nostalgia! I still miss how simple and useful this phone was.
at first i thought i had a superb phone that could do wonders,but now i feel like crying because the application i really want the most is not even opening. The charging point is bad and also i have to take the stress of charging my battery with an external battery charger which has been purchased by me over four times just in search of the original. This phone is crap.
Bro, this is not Android!! Before you buy it from those falthu Indian shopping websites, remember that if it is from an American carrier like at&t, the 3G will NOT work in India. India and Europe uses 2100Mhz for 3G.
please moderators...have been trying to download some apps on my samsung phone but they are not launching, please what do i do?????? Applications like 2go, whatsapp and many more....have tried all i could do manually but all proved abortive!!!

This phone does not have a touch screen.

This phone is crap after a couple months the battery wont charge for like 5 days so you need to leave it on the charger. This phone need to be recalled asap, for no one buys this P.O.S.
please remeber to save to SIMS and send your pictures elsewhere from time to time. Because WHEN your phone shuts dowm in 5 months (and it will) you will have nothing if you dont save to SImS or put your precious pictures clips songs etc in another place besides your phone. no screen, sorry they cant retrieve ANYTHING.

December 16,2011 without warning, no screen, battery was toast. went to att tech center 4 times to avoid the 3 day wait perioed to fed ex a new same type phone. bad choice. 2 weeks later after christmas still no phone. I eventually called att to mail me a phone. got phone but no bttery. miraculously, the phone they sent me worked with the old battery. no problems yet. To keep it working, I will have to stay in constant communication with JESUS.
Bad phone went threw 4 in 7 months under warrenty, batteries junk. I own a business I depend on my calls forwarded to my cell. Extremly bad phone. I asked for a different phone and was givin the same junk. They should be recalled!!!!!
Enjoyed the phone and durable as far as I'm concerned. The camera takes great photos, especially look good when they are uploaded to FaceBook. The problem is about 7 months after the purchase, the battery will not charge anymore unless you mess with it for an hour or two!

MAJORITY RULE OR RESPECT FOR DIVERSITY?
In interview, Georgian Public Defender debates constitutional status of the Orthodox Church Ombudsman Sozar Subari The ongoing political debate over religious issues has caused the Public Defender to speak out in public against the perceived hegemony of the Orthodox Church. Leading politicians meanwhile accuse him of unjustly defending sectarian religions in a country where Orthodox Christianity is the religious majority's historic faith. Wednesday's session of the parliamentary committee for human rights protection turned into a panel for heated debate and clashes when Ombudsman Sozar Subari spoke up in defense of the rights of religious minorities.
Subari stated that discrimination along religious lines is commonplace in Georgia and proposed a reconsideration of the 2001 Concordat that was made between the Georgian Orthodox Church and the government - a proposal that was met with outrage by many Georgian politicians. "According to the Georgian Constitution every person is born equal," Subari said in an interview with The Messenger on Thursday adding, "Of course this does not rule out the possibility that one particular religion might have a special or different status, but this status should not turn into a privilege." The Georgian Constitution calls for the protection of the freedom of speech and condemns the persecution of people on the bases of their opinion, confession or faith. At the same time there is a constitutional agreement between the government and the Georgian Orthodox church according to which the Georgian state acknowledges the historical significance and contributions of Christian Orthodoxy. "However, this status should not serve as a means to make exceptions for only those who posses it. When the difference turns into a privilege or a form of dominance which puts religious minorities in an unfavorable condition, it contradicts the Georgian Constitution and can be labeled as discrimination," Subari said.
He said that the status grants the Orthodox clergy and church a variety of benefits not offered to other faiths such as the right bow out of military service; certain tax advantages; the Orthodox wedding ceremony is given the same legal status as a civil wedding; and chaplains at government run institutions, such as prisons or the military, are only Orthodox Christians. Subari protested against privileges such as the tax break and military exemption stating, "I believe that if we grant these favors to only one religious faith then we neglect the rights of other religions."
Another thing that Subari is concerned about is the issue of Armenian churches that he said historically belonged to Armenians residing in Georgia, but are now in the hands of the state. "The state should by all means return these churches to their historical owners," Subari demanded, noting "If the provenance of any of these churches is debatable a commission should be set up to study the historical background and determine its rightful owner." Subari pointed to two cases - Norasheni church in Tbilisi in Leselidze Street and Surbnisani church in Akhaltsiakhe - which he believes call for immediate attention. "I will never be able to feel like a true Christian when the territories and churches that historically belonged to certain religious groups are taken away illegally," Subari contended.
