Glaucoma is an eye disease characterized by increased pressure within the eye. In chronic glaucoma, the channel through which fluid (aqueous humor) drains out of the eye is obstructed, resulting in a gradual build-up of pressure inside the eye. The increasing pressure eventually collapses the small blood vessels that supply the retina and optic nerve, depriving them of nutrients and oxygen. As retinal cells and nerve fibers die, the field of vision progressively gets smaller, leading to "tunnel vision" and complete blindness. Loss of vision can be prevented only if glaucoma is detected in its early stages. Therefore, regular eye examinations are recommended, particularly for individuals over age 40.
Loss of peripheral vision in small areas.
Blurred vision on one side toward the nose.
Larger areas of vision loss, usually in both eyes.
Physical exam of the retina may show characteristic changes in the optic nerve only late in the disease.
Tests: Measuring the pressure inside the eye establishes the diagnosis. A test of the visual fields is indicated once the diagnosis is made.
In chronic glaucoma, medication is used to decrease pressure within the eye, by either enhancing outflow of fluid or inhibiting the formation of fluid. In the occasional case where medical treatment is not effective, surgery can be done to improve drainage of fluid out of the eye (trabeculectomy or trabeculoplasty).
There is a strong association between glaucoma and diabetes, so one condition should raise the suspicion of the other. If a beta-blocker is used as treatment, depression can be induced.
With early diagnosis and treatment, useful vision is preserved for life in most cases. Untreated chronic glaucoma that begins at middle age may cause complete blindness by age 65.
Other possibilities are narrow-angle glaucoma, and secondary glaucoma (from trauma, inflammation, or following any surgery inside the eye).
You or a family member has symptoms of chronic glaucoma.
Medicine in the eye becomes intolerable.
Any sign of eye infection, such as fever, develops.
Pain begins in the eye.
Redness occurs in the eye.

Kodak Black pleads guilty to federal weapons charges
Rapper Kodak Black pleaded guilty on Thursday to federal weapons charges stemming from his arrest just before a scheduled concert performance in May. (AFP)
The Associated Press, Miami
Published: 23 August ,2019: 12:00 AM GST Updated: 20 May ,2020: 10:52 AM GST
Rapper Kodak Black pleaded guilty on Thursday to federal weapons charges stemming from his arrest just before a scheduled concert performance in May.
Black entered the change of plea in a Miami federal court. Prosecutors charged him with crimes including falsifying information on federal forms to buy four firearms from a Miami-area gun shop on two separate occasions.
Black, 22, was able to obtain three of the weapons: a 9 mm handgun, a .380-caliber handgun and a semi-automatic Mini Draco weapon. Authorities said one of the guns was found at the scene of a March shooting in Pompano Beach.
Black also faces drug, weapons and sexual assault charges in other states.
When US District Judge Federico Moreno asked Black why he needed so many weapons, he shrugged and said he needed them for "protection." In a previous hearing, his attorney, Bradford Cohen, said the rapper faced threats from gangs and other rivals.
Black is a Florida native who was born to Haitian American parents as Dieuson Octave and who now goes by the legal name of Bill Kapri.
He has been in federal custody since he was arrested during a Miami-area hip-hop festival in May that was marred by several violent incidents. Authorities are still investigating three unrelated shootings in the Miami area with possible connections to the festival, one of which involved a property owned by President Donald Trump.
Moreno previously denied Black's request for bond, ruling that he was a danger to the community.
The rapper, known for the singles "ZeZe" and "Roll in Peace," could face up to 20 years in prison and a $500,000 fine.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 13.

Exploring Several of Chevy's Sportier Engines
June 14th, 2017	by Ben Levine
If you're familiar with any of Chevy's sportier cars like the Corvette and Camaro, then you understand how powerful and impressive these performance vehicles can be. However, you might not recognize how much of the vehicle's capabilities can be attributed to the engines.
We're all suckers for those sports cars. As a result, we've dived into several of the brand's "LT" engine offerings, which are often equipped to the brand's assortment of athletic cars. If you've been eyeing these pricier, enticing vehicles, it might be a good idea to get an understanding of any of the applicable engine offerings. That way, when you start to shop at Chevy dealers in Dayton, Ohio, you'll have a better idea of which engine you want to pursue…
Despite being one of the brand's smaller offerings, this 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is capable of cranking out a whole lot power. The 272 horsepower and 295 pounds-feet of torque are certainly impressive, but it's the additional mechanical amenities that puts this specific unit over the top.
With an expertly-designed torque curve, drivers can expect 90-percent of the rated torque value when the engine is operating between 1700 and 5500 RPM. While drivers will certainly appreciate the sudden spike in power, they'll also enjoy the turbocharged unit's ability to crank out up to 20 additional pounds of boost. Thanks to this inclusion, drivers will have no issues accelerating after a stop.
The vehicle was also cleverly designed with several fuel-saving technologies, including the always-reliable Direct Injection technology. Furthermore, engineers included a number of "electronically controlled supporting components" like a new wastegate and bypass. These inclusions will help maximize the vehicle's power without compromising efficiency. While exact specs depend on the vehicle, you can at least expect to save some money at the pump if you decide to opt for the LTG engine.
Chevy has continually been in the forefront of engine innovation, so it isn't a surprise that they're taking the standard small-block engine to a whole new level. Included in the seventh-generation Corvette Stingray, the LTA 6.2-liter engine provides all of the power a driver could possibly want and need.
Equipped with either a wet-sump or dry-sump oiling system, the LT1 can deliver up to 460 horsepower and 465 pounds-feet of torque. We always associate power when it comes to the Chevy Corvette, but it's unlikely that you anticipated that amount of muscle coming from the accompanying engine. Drivers can also opt for a controller that adapts to an automatic transmission, providing owners with maximum driving flexibility.
Of course, inclusions like continuously Variable Valve Timing and Direct Injection will play a significant role in reducing the vehicle's efficiency. These technologies will also play an important role in assisting the vehicle's combustion system, meaning drivers can expect a reliable, efficient, and eco-friendly commute.
LT376/535
Are you seeking unmatched power from your vehicle's engine? Then you'll surely want to pursue a car that includes the incredible LT376/535 engine. Available on both the Corvette Stingray and Camaro SS, this unit will allow the operator to zoom past their fellow drivers on the highway.
The previously-mentioned LT1 engine were built off the foundation of their LS counterparts, with engineers including features like a revamped oiling system, a unique cylinder head design, and a new block casting. The LT376/535 is similar to both of these offerings (all of these units also offer Direct Injection), but engineers included even more in this particular engine. The CNC-ported heads and the high-lift LT1 Hot Cam will allow drivers to take full advantage of the unit's power.
Speaking of power, the LT376/535 engine delivers absolutely incredible specs. Drivers can anticipate 535 horsepower and 470 pounds-feet of torque. Plus, with a maximum recommended RMP of 6,600, you can expect to take full advantage of these numbers. If you're seeking a sports car with a mighty engine, the LT376/535 is undoubtedly the way to go.
We probably shouldn't have spoke so soon as we touted the capabilities of the LT376/535 engine. That's because the LT4 6.2-liter V8 system delivers more power than any of its LT counterparts. When the system is operating on 6,400 RPM, the vehicle can hit a maximum 640 horsepower. Meanwhile, when the car is running on 3,600 RPM, drivers can expect an astonishing 630 pounds-feet of torque.
How did engineers accomplish such a feat? They relied on the innovative engine technologies that were originally included in the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The brand took that LT1 Gen-V small-block engine and included fuel-saving technologies like Direct Injection and continuously Variable Valve Timing. Meanwhile, they also relied on the Corvette ZR1's LS9 engine to help maximize power via their supercharged capabilities.
LT1 E-Rod
This particular engine doesn't necessarily fall under the same category as the other LT engines included on this list, as it's better included in the brand's exclusive "E-Rod" offerings. Still, the LT1 E-Rod does share many similarities with these previous engines, as the brand included many of the same amenities (cylinder head design, oiling system) and technologies (Direct Injection).
However, the brand also included their E-Rod technologies, separating this offering from the others. This advanced engineering leads to both improved power and efficiency, and drivers will surely notice a boost in overall convenience, as well. When all is said and done, drivers can expect an impressive 455 horsepower and 455 pounds-feet of torque, providing them with unmatched power. Similar to the other options, customers can also opt for either a wet-sump or dry-sump oiling system, as well as a specifically-designed controller.
Of course, these five engines only skim the surface of what Chevy can provide to their customers. The brand ultimately offers more than 40 different engine options, allowing customers to truly pick out an engine (and accompanying car) that fits their needs. Of course, after exploring the engines above, we wouldn't be shocked if you decide to pursue the brand's sportier options

Q: JSF 2 + Primefaces 5 + Spring Security How to do an AJAX login I have the following configuration in Spring Security:
 http.requestMatchers().antMatchers("/admin/**", "/login", "/logout").and()
                    .authorizeRequests()
                    .antMatchers("/admin/**").hasRole("ADMIN")
                    .and().formLogin().loginPage("/main.xhtml")
                    .loginProcessingUrl("/login").defaultSuccessUrl("/admin.xhtml").and()
                    .exceptionHandling().accessDeniedPage("/denied.xhtml");

In a login controller (JSF backing bean) I have:
public void doLogin() throws ServletException, IOException {
        ExternalContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
        RequestDispatcher dispatcher = ((ServletRequest)context.getRequest()).getRequestDispatcher("/login");
        dispatcher.forward((ServletRequest)context.getRequest(), (ServletResponse)context.getResponse());
        FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().responseComplete();
    }

I am using Primefaces for frontend components.
This is the login form:
<h:form id="form" prependId="false">
   <p:messages id="errorMessages" showDetail="false" autoUpdate="true" />
   <p:outputLabel for="username" value="Username"  />
   <p:inputText id="username"  required="true" label="username" />
   <p:outputLabel for="password" value="Password" />
   <p:inputText id="password"  required="true" label="password" />
   <p:commandButton  id="login" value="Login" update="errorMessages"
      action="#{loginController.doLogin}" />
</h:form>

The problem is that the previous configuration forwards completely the response from Spring Security when trying to log in, so the login doesn't work. For it to work I would need to add ajax="false" in the p:commandButton but this would cause the whole page to reload in case of a login failure. Reloading the whole page breaks the user experience, for example, in my case users would need to scroll down to the login form if there's a login error.
How can I configure in either JSF or Spring Security so that I can do an AJAX login? Also, in this process, how could I show authentication failure messages from Spring Security?

All too familiar. I don't call people, don't ever presume people want to speak to me. Always assume no one wants me around and they're always like "not HER again!" when I do show my face.
And it's best not to comment on the "I'm so sorry…" It's all I can think about right now.


Pity I don't have Lightroom....these images are beautiful with the preset.
Absolutely LOVE this one!! Can't wait to use it! Thanks again!!
Thank you Jerry for sharing your beautiful LR preset with me, I very much appreciate it!

Is it normal to be nervous before the first visit?
It is normal to feel nervous about your first visit. It may help if you talk about it with your parents or someone else you trust. You may want to let your doctor know you are nervous. Your doctor can help put you at ease.
What should I expect at the first gynecologist visit?
The first visit may be just a talk between you and your doctor. You can find out what to expect at future visits and get information about how to stay healthy. You can ask questions about your body, growing up, and sex. You may also have certain exams and vaccinations.
Your doctor may ask a lot of questions about you and your family. Some of them may seem personal, such as questions about your menstrual period or sexual activities (including vaginal, oral, or anal sex). Your doctor needs to ask these questions to best know how to care for you.
Giving honest answers to these questions is key to your care. If you are concerned about confidentiality, you and your doctor should talk about it before you answer any questions. Much of the information you share can be kept confidential.
Possible Exams Expand All
What exams are done?
You may have certain exams at the first visit. If you choose, a nurse or family member may join you for any part of the exam. Most often, these exams are done:
General physical exam
External genital exam
You usually do not need to have a pelvic exam at the first visit unless you are having problems, such as abnormal bleeding or pain. If you are sexually active, you may have tests for certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Most of the tests that teens need can be done by the doctor with a urine sample.
What happens during a general physical exam?
During the general exam, your height, weight, and blood pressure are checked. You are also examined for any health problems you may have.
What happens during an external genital exam?
In this exam, the doctor looks at the vulva. Your doctor may give you a mirror so that you can look at the vulva as well. This exam is a good way to learn about your body and the names for each part.
[Female Reproductive System: Internal Organs and External Organs]
What is a pelvic exam?
Even though you may not have a pelvic exam, it helps to know what one is. The pelvic exam has three parts:
Looking at the vulva
Looking at the vagina and cervix with a speculum
Checking the internal organs with a gloved hand
To check your internal organs, the doctor will place one or two gloved, lubricated fingers into the vagina and up to the cervix. The other hand will press on the abdomen from the outside. (Read Pelvic Exams to learn more.)
Will I need a Pap test?
Pap tests are a type of cervical cancer screening, which is not recommended before age 21. Cervical cancer screening can include a Pap test, a test for human papillomavirus (HPV), or both. HPV is a virus that can cause cervical cancer.
When you are 21 or older and have a Pap test or HPV test, a sample of cells is taken from your cervix with a small brush. The HPV test looks for the types of HPV that are most likely to cause cancer. The Pap test checks for abnormal changes in the cervix that could lead to cancer.
Other Questions Expand All
What vaccines may be given?
Vaccines are shots that protect against certain diseases. The following vaccines are given to all young women age 11 to 18 on a routine basis:
Tetanus–diphtheria–pertussis (Tdap) booster
Meningococcal vaccine
Influenza vaccine (yearly)
Other vaccines may be given if you are at an increased risk for certain diseases:
Hepatitis A virus vaccine
Pneumococcal vaccine
You may also need a COVID-19 vaccine. And if you have missed or delayed doses of hepatitis B virus vaccine, measles–mumps–rubella vaccine, varicella vaccine, or polio vaccine, get "catch-up" doses as recommended by your health care professional.
What concerns can I discuss with my ob-gyn?
Many young women share the same health concerns. Most of these concerns are a normal part of growing up:
Cramps and problems with menstrual periods
Sex and sexuality
Alcohol, drugs, and smoking
Emotional ups and downs
You can talk with your ob-gyn about all these topics and more.
What can I do to stay healthy?
Making certain lifestyle choices can help you to be strong and healthy for years to come:
Maintain a healthy weight by eating a well-balanced diet and exercising often.
Avoid smoking, vaping, drinking alcohol, and using illegal drugs.
Seek help if you have emotional ups and downs or feel depressed.
Use birth control if you are having sex and do not want to have a baby.
Protect yourself from STIs by using a latex or polyurethane condom. Know your partners—the more partners you or your partners have, the higher your risk of getting an STI.
Keep up with routine exams, tests, and vaccines.
Birth Control: Devices or medications used to prevent pregnancy.
Cervix: The lower, narrow end of the uterus at the top of the vagina.
Condom: A thin cover for the penis used during sex to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and pregnancy.

If you're unfamiliar with the idea of using occupational therapy — the treatment of ill, injured or disabled patients through the therapeutic practice of everyday activities — to treat addiction, you're not alone. Even though the field has strong historical footing in the treatment of addiction and mental illness, in the last several decades, occupational therapists have moved away from the practice due to shifting reimbursement priorities.
But times are changing. Penny Moyers, dean of St. Catherine University's Henrietta Schmoll School of Health and a practicing occupational therapist, said that lately more occupational therapists are shifting back to the treatment of chemical dependency and mental health.
Years ago, Medicare covered occupational therapy as part of addiction treatment programs, Moyers explained. Occupational therapists also helped people with mental illness in hospital settings.
Jessica Engman, a Twin Cities-based occupational therapist and founder of Evolve Well Occupational Therapy, believes that the recent increase in occupational therapy treatment options for emotional rather than physical concerns is a practical-yet-important shift.
As the United States faces a full-fledged addiction crisis, occupational therapists are seeing greater opportunity to return to the treatment of people with chemical dependency. Moyers, who wrote a book on the subject titled "Substance Abuse: A Multi-Dimensional Assessment and Treatment Approach," says this shift is a good thing.
When a person's life is taken over by addiction, everyday tasks get pushed to the side.
"What happens in addiction is you start decreasing your time spent in healthy occupational behavior and spending more and more time drinking or using drugs rather than organizing your day around what you need and want to do," Moyers said.
An occupational therapist can help a client relearn how to find satisfaction in everyday tasks — without the fuel of alcohol or drugs.
And long-term chemical dependency can also cause physical changes that can make it hard to complete everyday tasks in an efficient way, Moyers added. Occupational therapists can help clients learn ways to work around those challenges.
Two days a week, Engman works at Elite Recovery, a nearly two-year-old outpatient addiction treatment center on Grand Avenue in St. Paul. The center offers single-gender recovery programs for men and women.
The program's occupational therapy room is in the building's clean, remodeled basement.
Engman meets with clients, who attend the recovery program for several hours each day, working to assess their individual needs and goals for long-term sobriety. She likes to help clients identify areas of their lives that they feel could be improved by new activities or substance-free entertainment.
The process of achieving sobriety can be physically and emotionally painful. Part of the emotional pain can be the realization that substance use was actually a way of covering up social deficiencies. Through occupational therapy, Engman works to help her clients uncover the good things that reside in the core of their being.
The activities Engman offers to her clients may seem trivial, but they actually serve as a pathway for navigating a life free of substance abuse and a sense of self-worth.
One of Engman's female clients is working to complete a hand-knit hat.
Another client, a man, created a handmade card for his sister. The siblings had been estranged since he stole money from her to purchase drugs. The card served as an apology and an opening for further reconciliation.
Engman knows that she can't take a one-size-fits-all approach to her work. Not everyone is going to want to knit a hat or make a card.
Some clients just don't like to sit still. Members of one of Elite Recovery's men's sobriety groups said they wanted to work on a project that required physical activity. Engman came up with the idea of building — and then playing — an outdoor game.
These projects might seem small, but Engman said that for most of her clients, they end up taking on a much larger significance.

Wanted to add that innovative and creative approaches to helping those fight addiction are even more relevant today. I know in Indiana we have a crises of meth and herion abuse (as is true across the country). Though I practice as a Clinical Psychologist currently, my background in Occupational Therapy has always served as a foundational approach to working with and understanding folks fighting addiction. It's how we live "One Day at a Time" that truly is transformative!

South Australia covid: Hayley Beadman, 24, dies of covid after chest pain
A young Australian woman has tragically died after being struck down with Covid a day after a holiday in Bali.
Hayley Beadman, from Aldinga in South Australia, died in an Adelaide hospital on Tuesday after suffering cardiac arrest induced by myocarditis.
The 24-year-old and her partner Ben Moore tested positive for Covid on November 23 after returning from holiday.
Less than 24 hours later, Hayley began experiencing chest pains and an ambulance was called and she was taken to hospital to further investigate her symptoms.
While in hospital, her heart stopped and hospital staff performed CPR on Hayley for 50 minutes.
What followed was an induced coma from which Hayley's family said she had finally awoken, and the young woman was thought to have been on the road to recovery in recent weeks.
Doctors went so far as to call her "the sickest woman in Adelaide" during the brave fight.
"She is awake now. She blinks on demand and her eyes move around the room looking at everyone," read a GoFundMe for Hayley.
However, in a tragic twist, Hayley lost her month-long battle with myocarditis, a condition that causes the heart to swell, this week.
Friend Moni Burrell, who had started a GoFundMe on Hayley's behalf, said her loss has been profound.
"Good girl, you left a hole in all our hearts," she wrote on Facebook.
"Sometimes it's hard for me to be my weirdo around others. but you allowed it from the start and turned up the volume on my weirdness.
"Thank you for being you and thank you for loving me for me."
Hayley and Ben have been together for five years and recently bought their first home together in Aldinga, south of Adelaide.

Backlash (2023) será o 18º evento Backlash em pay-per-view (PPV) e transmissão ao vivo de luta profissional produzido pela WWE. Será realizado para lutadores das divisões de marca Raw e SmackDown da promoção. O evento acontecerá no sábado, 6 de maio de 2023, no Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot em San Juan, Porto Rico, marcando o primeiro evento da WWE realizado em Porto Rico desde o New Year's Revolution em janeiro de 2005, e apenas o segundo geral do evento. Embora os dois anos anteriores tenham sido intitulados "WrestleMania Backlash", o evento de 2023 voltou ao seu nome original, mantendo seu conceito pós-WrestleMania, com o evento de 2023 baseado na reação da WrestleMania 39. O rapper porto-riquenho Bad Bunny servirá como o anfitrião do evento.

Produção

Introdução

Backlash é um evento recorrente de luta profissional que foi estabelecido pela WWE em 1999. Foi realizado anualmente de 1999 a 2009, mas foi interrompido até ser reintegrado em 2016 e tem sido realizado todos os anos desde então, exceto em 2019. O conceito original do evento foi baseado na reação do evento principal da WWE, WrestleMania. Os eventos entre 2016 e 2020 não carregaram esse tema; no entanto, o evento de 2021 voltou a este conceito original e a série de eventos foi rebatizada como "WrestleMania Backlash". Com o anúncio do evento de 2023, o evento voltou ao seu nome original de Backlash, mantendo seu tema pós-WrestleMania.

Anunciado em 8 de março de 2023, o 18º Backlash contará com areação da WrestleMania 39. Está programado para acontecer no sábado, 6 de maio de 2023, no Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot em San Juan, Porto Rico, marcando o primeiro evento da WWE a ser realizado em Porto Rico desde o New Year's Revolution em janeiro de 2005, e o segundo evento geral. O evento contará com lutadores das divisões de marca Raw e SmackDown, e será transmitido em pay-per-view (PPV) em todo o mundo e estará disponível para transmissão ao vivo no Peacock nos Estados Unidos e na WWE Network na maioria dos mercados internacionais. Também será o primeiro Backlash a transmitir ao vivo no Binge na Austrália depois que a versão australiana da WWE Network se fundiu com o canal Binge da Foxtel em janeiro. Além disso, foi anunciado que o rapper porto-riquenho Bad Bunny, que cantou suas músicas e lutou na WWE, seria o anfitrião do evento.

Rivalidades
O evento incluirá combates que resultam de enredos roteirizados, onde os lutadores interpretam heróis, vilões ou personagens menos distinguíveis em eventos roteirizados que criam tensão e culminam em uma luta livre ou uma série de lutas. Os resultados são predeterminados pelos escritores da WWE nas marcas Raw e SmackDown, enquanto as histórias são produzidas nos programas de televisão semanais da WWE, Monday Night Raw e Friday Night SmackDown.

What if magic is the capacity to change any situation in your life?
What if magic is just choice? What if our entire life is just choice? What if WE choose for ourselves what our lives are? What if..?
These are some of the questions that led us up to making the choice to start this blog called Life of Magic. We ask a lot of questions and seek to see beyond the answers of this reality. In fact, we ask questions to open up possibilities, not to find answers.
One of the reasons for us choosing to share our life with you is that we have realized that all voices deserve to be heard. We want to share our experiences, insights and challenges to make our contribution to creating a world of consciousness where everything is allowed and nothing is judged. A world where more is created for everyone, not just for the few. A world of oneness.
What do we mean by magic? We mean that from the perspective that everything is possible, it is possible to choose what is easy and gives you joy in virtually any situation in your life. Magic is about choosing an open rather than a narrow mindset and daring to choose something new. We know that there are moments when everything seems dark and nothing seems to work. It is in these moments that magic works best.
Does it all come easy to us? Is change a walk in the park? Hell NO! Sometimes change can be really painful and the most challenging thing you have experienced in your life. Sometimes making the choice to change can be harder than the change in itself. Sometimes change requires dedication and a lot of work since you may have to repeat a new behavior hundreds or even thousands of times. However, if you are willing to do the work, every single day, we can promise you that it will be worth it.
We know that you might be skeptical to or even provoked by some of the things we are sharing, and thats's okey. If that happens, what would it be like to not judge it as right or wrong and instead just look at it as just an interesting point of view? An interesting point of view that just reflects our way of perceiving the world.
Our common history is quite short, even though it at times feels as though we have known each other all our lives (or even before). Our paths crossed through the common interest skiing and was reinforced by the fact that we both are seekers who have always known that life can be so much more than this reality presents us with. At the beginning of our relationship we spent a lot of time sharing our lives, our beautiful memories, our tough times, our values, our visions and our dreams. Within a month's time we had probably shared more than some people do in a lifetime.
In the summer of 2013 we chose to spend more time together and we did it by experiencing a lot of adventures. Some months later we moved in together and crowned our first time with a trip to Bali. We had a lot of fun, many long conversations and experienced an incredible oneness. While still in Bali, Johanna was feeling a bit ill at times and one evening we were sure to have eaten something bad and we had a whiskey to ward off unwelcome bacteria. Somewhere deep down Johanna had a notion that it might be something else than bad food causing the nausea. The day we arrived back in Sweden she secretly bought a pregnancy test and did it while Anders was sleeping off the jetlag. Seeing the thin line appear in the window made her heart leap. When Anders woke up an hour later, Johanna was sitting opposite him, staring at him.
A silence that felt like eternity.
We looked at each other, tears filling our eyes. One of our most magic moments had just happened. Some time later we figured out that Carl Walter Magic was created on Anders's 53rd birthday on the 21st of September 2013, speak about creation of magic!
We have now known each other for almost six years. Since then we live in three different places during the year; December to April is spent in Verbier, Switzerland, May to September at the Swedish island of Gotland, October in Ericeira, Portugal and then Gotland again in November. Together we have created a family life where all three of us can do what we are passionate about and work with things we really believe in (well, so far Walter kind of just tags along). What we have learnt in these six years is that it is possible to create a life filled with magic if we get access to who we really are and explore what we desire from life. Does this mean that we never have ups and downs? Definitely not. In the end we always choose magic though, even if it sometimes takes days before we arrive there.
Together and individually we have been through many things in life. We have searched for who we really are, beyond all learned and ingrained behaviors. We have read, had many long conversations, educated ourselves and done numerous self-development trainings, one of the most transformative ones being Access Consciousness that has contributed the most amazing stuff to our lives. The last years we have been living in the question; What else is possible? and How does it get any better than this?. This has opened up an infinite reality for us – and this is something we want to share! We want to share our lives, our stories and insights that we hope will be an invitation to recognition as well as inspiration. We have an ongoing conversation about who we are, our choices and how they affect ourselves and others, our lifestyle and together we have generated a way of living that is something else than the norm.
in consciousness, where everything is allowed to exist and nothing is judged.
We are all part of generating a world of collaboration and togetherness. Would you like to join us on our journey?
At a very early age I knew I wanted to have fun and live a life full of adventure and sports. I did not care so much about what I would earn, or how I should make a living. I just wanted to have fun. In my youth, I stood against the views of "You can't make a living on having fun and doing what you want!" and remarks like "What kind of a real job are you going to have after this?". Thanks to my inner knowledge that everything is possible and that I would be fine I continued my journey of having fun. This has led me to a range of successful and joyful paths. I am currently working for Powder Extreme, one of the most innovative off-piste ski schools in Verbier, Switzerland. I am also part-owner and Mentor of Life Skiing in the groundbreaking Swedish ski concept Skiers Accredited. My most recent adventure is to develop a new golf concept at Visby GK, called Visby Golf Academy.
I am passionate about human development, as much of myself as of others. Thanks to a four-year soccer scholarship, I got the chance to study Marketing and Management at a college in the United States. I passed numerous coaching and leadership training courses and exams, read lots of books on personal development and constantly applied my own inherent knowledge to life. Right now I am using this knowledge and inner guidance in my role as a ski instructor, golf trainer and life coach. I think I can be a great source of inspiration and a person who shows a way to fully live a life where everything is possible!
Ever since I was a little I have been a happy girl with lots of energy and also with a deeper, more thoughtful side. I grew up with mum, dad and my little brother on an island in the Stockholm archipelago. We spent a lot of time in nature, at home at the seaside, and also in the Swedish mountains. Family, sports, recreation and school were important to me.
As long as I can remember those existential questions were always there; " Who am I? Why am I here? Is this the way life should be?". So many times I have been told to "not think so much". I was always the good girl; I did very well at school, I was a decent tennis player, a fairly successful runner and I was good at doing what was expected of me. Even if those expectations mainly consisted of what I thought others expected of me.
Today the girl who cried every time she had to be away from mum and dad has grown into an entrepreneur; an entrepreneur in the sense that I generate my life the way I desire to live it and as far as possible make choices that are in line with who I am and what is true for me. I create job opportunities in places where I and my family want to spend time, be it in the Swiss alps or on the Swedish island of Gotland.
I really am a bundle of energy, and as I get to know myself better, I learn to channel that energy in a way that enables me to consciously choose more things that I really like because I really like them. This is one of the reasons that I started We are Laja together with my friends Anna and Lovisa, InnSaei Academy together with my friends Jessica and Veronica and that I start this blog with Anders. Where can we go from here?


Are you struggling to gain control of your personal finances? Well, all hope is not lost, no matter how much debt you have to contend with or how much you love to shop. Check out the money-saving tips below so that you can finally take charge of your finances and feel more financially secure.
You do not need to buy every designer item that hits the market or the latest tech gadget. After all, those items add up and there are always new offerings at every turn, so why spend all of that money on something that will be obsolete in no time? Instead, shop smarter by checking various websites for deals. And there is no shame in purchasing a gadget that is a little bit older than the latest model or buying an item that has been used by someone else. In fact, with resources like Zoom the List, you could more easily search through Craigslist to find what you need at a great price.
In addition to shopping smarter, it is also wise to limit the number of credit cards that you use on a regular basis. Sure, a store card here and there could help you land some great deals on things like clothing and accessories, but if you have a lot of credit card debt and that debt is accruing interest every month because you can't pay it off, you will be in trouble for a long time. So, choose one card that has a decent credit limit, a low-interest rate and low fees, and great rewards. Cash back rewards are particularly beneficial because it's like getting a little discount on every purchase, as you could redeem your points for cash when you pay your bill.
Finance, like all other things in life, is something that could be difficult to understand at first. But the more that you read about it, and the more that you hear experts talking about it, the easier it will be to not only understand your finances but also manage them better. So spend a little bit of time every week searching for helpful books, articles, and presentations on the topic of personal finance. The more you know, the better equipped you will be to take charge of your own financial future.
Finally, consider cutting your spending and boosting your savings for just one month. In 30 days, you could make a big difference in your finances by making small changes to your lifestyle. So cut out things that you don't really need, like eating at restaurants or purchasing coffee at Starbucks. Little changes will quickly add up and you could end up putting more money aside. Then you could continue implementing those habits to continue saving money in the future.
With the tips above, you could take charge of your finances over time, getting yourself out of debt and having a more solid financial base for your future.

Where to stay in Singapore
ROUGHGUIDES.COM / BLOG /WHERE TO STAY IN SINGAPORE
While prices may disappoint, the range of accommodation in Singapore will not. The island has a plethora of luxury hotels plus competently run, no-frills and mid-range establishments. There are also plenty of upstart boutique hotels, hostels and guesthouses. Many are in refurbished shophouses and practically all offer air-conditioning, a comfy communal lounge and breakfast. Here's our guide to where to stay in Singapore.
Colonial District: where to stay in Singapore city center
Bras Basah Road to Rochor Road: best places to stay in Singapore for arts
Little India and Lavender Street: the most charismatic area in Singapore
Arab Street (Kampong Glam): where to stay in Singapore for hangouts
Chinatown: a chance to taste the old ways in Singapore
Clarke Quay and Boat Quay: where to stay in Singapore for bars and restaurants
Marina Bay: where to stay in Singapore for a five-star comfort
Orchard Road: luxury area to stay in Singapore
Sentosa: the most developed southern island of Singapore
Changi Airport: the best place for short stops in Singapore
The information in this article is inspired by The Rough Guide to Singapore, your essential guide for visiting Singapore.
There are only a few places to stay among the grand Neoclassical buildings of the Colonial District, the area immediately north and east of the Singapore River that forms the core of downtown Singapore. If you've got deep pockets, however, there are some historic gems where you can stay in this district of Singapore.
The area still feels like the centrepiece of downtown, even though modern edifices in the surroundings constantly pull focus from it. The district also has a viable claim to be the island's museums quarter, home to the lavish National Gallery, the National Museum, the Asian Civilisations Museum and Peranakan Museum.
Also worth a look are verdant Fort Canning Hill, the dignified St Andrew's Cathedral and the diminutive Armenian Church of St Gregory the Illuminator. By far the most famous building hereabouts, however, is the grand old Raffles Hotel.
Where to stay in the Colonial District:
Best for period splendour: The Capitol Kempinski. Occupying two period buildings, the Capitol and Stamford House, this 150-room hotel prides itself on being both luxurious and intimate. Everything is suitably plush, with tasteful dark wood and marble. Facilities include a small rooftop pool where built-in recesses serve as jacuzzis, plus a gym and spa.
Best for great views: Swissôtel The Stamford. Not for those with vertigo, though the views are as splendid as you'd expect from one of the tallest hotels in the world, with over a thousand rooms. Perhaps even more impressive is having a MRT station (City Hall) in its basement.

The grid of streets between Bras Basah Road and Rochor Road has been rendered a bit sterile by redevelopment, but remains a good choice where to stay in Singapore. It's within walking distance of the Singapore River, Little India and the eastern end of Orchard Road. Hotels here tend to be either upmarket or, especially around Bencoolen St, budget affairs.
Bras Basah Road supposedly got its name because rice arriving on cargo boats used to be brought here to be dried (beras basah means "wet rice" in Malay). The zone between it and Rochor Road at the edge of Little India has a transitional sort of feel, sitting as it does between the Colonial District and what were intended to be "ethnic" enclaves to the northeast.
These days it's a nexus for the arts, with many distinguished old properties on and around Waterloo Street being turned over to creative organizations, including the Singapore Art Museum. The country's leading institutes in the field have also been lured here, among them the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) on Bencoolen Street; and the School of the Arts, in a striking building next to the Cathay cinema.
Where to stay from Bras Basah Road to Rochor Road:
Best for breathtaking architecture: Marriott South Beach. One of the most architecturally arresting entrants to Singapore's hotel scene in recent years, this is both a prestige commercial development and a conservation project. The lobby – all individually styled chill-out spaces, some featuring the work of local artists – makes a statement. The 650-plus room are über chic.
Best for industrial chic: Hotel G. This excellent hotel occupies a converted office building, reflected in the ground-floor restaurants – all artfully exposed ducting and pipes. The functional rooms are snug, soundproofed and feature pale wood floors and furniture.

Of all the old districts of where to stay in Singapore, the most charismatic has to be Little India, noticeably less slick and gentrified than its nearest rival, Chinatown. The original occupants of this downtown niche were Europeans and Eurasians who established country houses here, and for whom a racecourse was built in the 1840s on the site of today's Farrer Park.
Many of the roads in Little India started out as private tracks leading to these houses, and their names – Dunlop, Cuff, Desker, Norris – recall these early colonial settlers.
Accommodation in Little India and nearby tends to be slightly cheaper than elsewhere. The hotels can be uninspired, but there's a good selection of guesthouses in Little India in the zone from Rochor Road up to Lavender Street, and with an excellent public swimming pool not far away. The area around Arab Street also has a few good places to stay.
Singapore is on of the coolest places to visit in Southeast Asia, to find some more attractive destinations read our list of the coolest Southeastern places to travel to.
Where to stay in Little India and Lavender Street:
Best for staying in the heart of Little India: Citadines Rochor. Featuring a swimming pool, a fitness centre, a shared lounge and views of the city, Citadines Rochor is set in Singapore and offers accommodation with free WiFi.
Best for gadget lovers: The Pod. Ultra-slick design hotel where you check yourself in using an electronic kiosk. Their slogan is "pay for the stay, everything else is free" – and that includes use of their laundry and laptops, plus a cooked breakfast. As the name suggests, all beds are capsule-style.

The area surrounding Arab Street, known as Kampong Glam, is the most achingly hip enclave in Singapore – quite literally so for some members of the Muslim community. Its lanes packed with boutiques and modern cafés, the district is also home to the venerable Sultan Mosque, and has traditionally had an Islamic and Malay character.
Of late, gentrification has come out on top as slick upstart restaurants have edged out venerable textile stores, craft shops and traditional curry houses.
Some members of the local community have mounted a rearguard battle against the quarter's increasing booziness, and although the authorities made assurances about fewer licenses for new restaurants and bars in the area, the damage to the cultural fabric has already been done.
This backstory shouldn't detract from any visit, with the mosque and the Malay Heritage Centre as the obvious sights, but it's as well to be aware that the area remains in a state of flux, even more so than the rest of perennially evolving Singapore
Where to stay near the Arab Street:
Best for boutique style: The Sultan. A collection of 10 heritage shophouses, The Sultan offers stylish boutique rooms which bring out the old charm of Singapore. With full-length shutter windows and tall columns, all rooms with local calls while free WiFi is available throughout the property.
Best for families: Rest Bugis Hotel. Rest Bugis Hotel is approximately a 15-minute walk from Arab Quarters. It offers modern rooms with free Wi-Fi. It also houses an outdoor swimming pool on the rooftop.

Chinatown was one of the most colourful districts of where to stay in old Singapore, but after independence the government chose to grapple with its tumbledown slums by embarking upon a redevelopment campaign that saw whole streets razed.
As Lee Kuan Yew himself acknowledged: "In our rush to rebuild Singapore, we knocked down many old and quaint buildings. Then we realized that we were destroying a valuable part of our cultural heritage, that we were demolishing what tourists found attractive."
Not until the 1980s did the remaining shophouses and other period buildings begin to be conserved, though restoration has often rendered them improbably perfect. Furthermore, gentrification has seen the clan houses and religious and martial arts associations often replaced by hotels, design agencies and upmarket (or sometimes not so salubrious) bars.
Ironically, getting a taste of the old ways of Chinatown now often means heading off the main streets into the concrete municipal housing estates, where older trades linger.
When it comes to guesthouses, Little India's main competitor is Chinatown, which also boasts a good selection of boutique hotels.
Where to stay in Chinatown:
Best for a budget bed: Wink. Deservedly popular for several years now, this hostel was one of the first with hi-tech capsules (including some doubles).
Best for location: Oasia Hotel. Set against an urban landscape of concrete, steel and glass, Oasia Hotel Downtown, Singapore stands out with a unique silhouette covered by a lush green façade that is a massive vertical garden. Experience an aura of living, breathing lushness like a tropical resort in the city, with the Tanjong Pagar MRT station conveniently located outside this hotel's doorstep.

The nineteenth-century godowns of Clarke Quay, painted in gaudy colours and housing flashy eating and nightlife venues, feel about as authentic as the translucent plasticky canopy built over them for shelter; nearby Boat Quay feels more down-to-earth even when at its busiest. Further up the north bank is Robertson Quay, offering more of the same, though more pleasant and less hectic.
The pedestrianized row of waterfront shophouses known as Boat Quay, almost at the old mouth of the Singapore River, is one of the island's notable urban regeneration successes. Derelict in the early 1990s, it's since become a thriving hangout, sporting a huge collection of restaurants and bars.
The area's historical significance may be easier to appreciate through its street names – Synagogue Street nearby, for example, was indeed the site of Singapore's first synagogue.
If you feel inspired by the Southeastern destinations read our guide abouth the best places to visit in Southeast Asia.
Where to stay in Clarke Quay and Boat Quay:
Best for Art Deco opulence: The Fullerton has a stunning Art Deco atrium propped up on massive columns like an Egyptian temple. Rooms and bathrooms are spacious and feature contemporary styling. Amenities include a gym, spa and pool.
Best for budget: Hipstercity hostel. Hipstercity is situated in Singapore, less than 1 km from Zouk Singapore, and has a shared lounge. With free WiFi, this 2-star hostel offers a shared kitchen. Chinatown Heritage Centre is a 14-minute walk away.

Marina Bay is the blandest part of where to stay in Singapore, but is worth considering if you're after four- and five-star comforts – best epitomized by Marine Bay Sands.
It's hard not to be awed by Marina Bay, the project that has transformed downtown Singapore's seafront over two generations. A hugely ambitious piece of civil engineering, it entailed the creation of three expanses of reclaimed land and a barrage to seal off the basins of the Singapore and Kallang rivers from the sea.
The result is a seaside freshwater reservoir, which reduces Singapore's dependence on Malaysian water supplies. The Marina Bay Sands casino resort dominates the area, along with the extravagant Gardens by the Bay. The Esplanade arts complex is worth a detour for its skyline views, and more of the same is available at the Singapore Flyer.
For one week in September, at least until 2021, you'll find crash barriers around the Singapore Flyer and the nearby Padang as the roads are transformed into the circuit for the night-time Formula 1 race.
Explore the infamous Singapore Sling and fabulous shopping and nightlife, colourful neighbourhoods and mouth-watering cuisine with our tailor-made tour to Indulgent Singapore.
Where to stay in Marina Bay:
Best for five-star service: Ritz-Carlton Millenia. Arguably king of the pricey hotels in Marina centre, with magnificent views across to the Financial District, even from the bathrooms, where butlers will fill the bath for you.
Best for a night in a landmark: Marina Bay Sands. Not just one of the island's most famous buildings but also the largest hotel in Singapore, with an astonishing 2500 rooms. Stay here for the architecture and that infinity pool.

Although the parade of designer names on Orchard Road – often with multiple outlets for each brand – is impressive, the area has not been totally untouched by the malaise afflicting central shopping precincts the world over, losing trade to malls in the suburbs.
The most striking of the malls, Ion Orchard, right above Orchard MRT, has a bulgy glass frontage vaguely reminiscent of Th eatres on the Bay, and is topped by a tower of luxury apartments. If you shop here, it's possible to access their 56th-fl oor viewing gallery and multimedia experience, Ion Sky; $20 worth of receipts will earn you one ticket.
Just about the only building complex of signifi cant age – though now highly modernized – remaining on Orchard Road itself can be glimpsed west of Scotts Road, where the Thai embassy has its origins in the purchase of a mansion here by the Siamese king in the late nineteenth century.
You generally pay a premium to stay on or around Orchard Road, even though its mall have lost some of their shine. Most of the area's hotels are luxury affairs, with a couple of more reasonably priced options.
Where to stay on and around Orchard Road:
Best for anonymous comfort: Yotel. This upstart international chain wants to make the hotel experience rather like flying. You can largely check in by yourself, mattresses are custom-made foldable affairs so you can have the bed flat or partially reclined, like an airliner seat, and clothes hangers and a desk surface slot out of the walls like a food tray.
Best for a taste of a bygone era: Goodwood Park. Built on a leafy hillock and designed by the architect responsible for the Raffles, this is a genuine landmark in a cityscape characterized by transience.

Sentosa was briefly in the world's gaze in June 2018 as it was here, specifically at the Capella hotel, that US President Donald Trump met North Korea's Kim Jong-un. Such a choice of venue would have been unimaginable thirty years ago, before the rampant construction and investment that transformed Sentosa into the most developed of Singapore's southern islands.
It's ironic that its name actually means "tranquil" in Malay; back in colonial times, when it was home to a British military base, it had the rather less heartwarming name Pulau Blakang Mati, or the "Island of Death Behind". Contrived but enjoyable in parts, the Sentosa of today is promoted for its rides, passable beaches, hotels and massive casino/entertainment complex, Resorts World Sentosa, on the northern shore.
Besides the much-hyped Universal Studios theme park, Resorts World boasts half a dozen hotels, a couple of museums and the fabulous S.E.A. Aquarium. It's best to visit Sentosa on a weekday outside the school holidays, unless you don't mind the place being positively overrun. Almost all transport around the island is free.
Staying on Sentosa is more feasible than ever thanks to improved transport links. Even so, returning to your hotel for a short break from sightseeing downtown can still be a bit of a drag.
Where to stay in Sentosa:
Best for a convenient base: Hotel Michael. The main reason to stay at Resorts World is to tap into regular packages with admission to Universal Studios and so forth; Hotel Michael is more interesting than the rest.
Best for contemporary elegance: Le Meridien Singapore Sentosa. A splendid hotel housed partly in former British barracks dating from 1940. All rooms feature elegant contemporary fittings, but the most impressive are the pricey onsen suites with their own large outdoor Japanese hot tub.

Singapore's Changi International Airport is gleaming, modern and ridiculously efficient – the country in microcosm. Arriving by bus or train is a slightly less streamlined experience thanks to border formalities and occasional jams at the two land crossings connecting Singapore to the southernmost Malaysian state of Johor.
Wherever you arrive, the island's well-oiled infrastructure means that you'll have no problem getting into the centre.
Changi Airport is at the eastern tip of Singapore, 16km from the city centre, and has three terminals connected by free Skytrains, with a fourth connected to terminal 2 by bus. There are the usual exchange facilities and ATMs, plus shops selling local SIM cards. Chances are you'll not linger long – baggage comes through so swiftly that you can be heading to the city centre within twenty minutes of arrival.
Where to stay in Changi Airport:
Best for waiting the transfer: YotelAir. Located inside Jewel Changi Airport (outside of transit area), this property is walking distance towards Changi Airport Terminal 1, 2 & 3. Within 5 km of Changi City Point and 5 km of Singapore expo Convention & Exhibition center, YotelAir Singapore Changi Airport Landside SG Clean features a shared lounge.
Best for relaxing between flights: Crowne Plaza Changi Airport. Crowne Plaza is a luxurious hotel located at the Singapore Changi International Airport Terminal 3. Within walking distance from Terminal 3, Crowne Plaza Changi Airport offers stylish accommodation with an outdoor landscaped pool, a fitness centre and an all day dining restaurant.

At Alpha Aromatics, we like to think of ourselves as "fragrance people." To earn that title, we have to stay on the pulse and know everything that's going on in the fragrance world—attending conferences, talking to our colleagues around the world, and visiting with others in the industry.
Our marketing, sales, and chief perfumers also read everything that they can about perfumes including news, reviews and more.

While there are so many great fragrance blogs out there, we felt we should narrow our list to the Top 8 sites we follow to stay in touch, so you can see some of the blogs and writers we follow and find out why they're on our radar. We believe, the more educated a potential buyer is, the more likely they are to buy fragrances based on their particular needs, and the more pleased they will be with their purchase.
While buying perfume is a personal choice that has been about the in-person experience, there's plenty of online help available. Keep in mind, too, that the Millennial generation is much more likely to review blogs before making purchases, so more information is better for your potential customers—no matter their age.

Zelenska: World community needs to unite to achieve justice for Ukraine
Ukraine's First Lady Olena Zelenska, in her address to MPs in the UK Parliament on Tuesday, said the world community needs to unite to achieve justice for Ukraine.
LONDON — Ukraine's First Lady Olena Zelenska, in her address to MPs in the UK Parliament on Tuesday, said the world community needs to unite to achieve justice for Ukraine.
In Westminster, Zelenska told MPs the world community needs to unite, just as it did in January 1942, to support a special tribunal against Russia's aggression towards Ukraine.
"I'm asking you a small favor to become the world leader in the justice efforts," she said. Justice is not just needed for Ukraine, but so that the world could lead its life not by the rule of force, she said.
"We need justice so that the world could survive," Zelenska added. Zelenska received a standing ovation from those assembled at Westminster as her remarks concluded.
Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle spoke ahead of Zelenska at Westminster. He extended a warm welcome to the first lady, and said Parliament is "extremely privileged" to have her there.
Sir Lindsay spoke about the war in Ukraine and violence against women during conflict. He said we must not sleepwalk into thinking this situation is going on in a far-away land, and that it does not affect us.
He said the first lady's visit must "shock us awake again", and she "must make us listen" when she says women in Ukraine are being raped by Russian soldiers, and people's lives are being destroyed.
"It is our duty to keep the spotlight on you, to keep shaking the world awake to the horrors Russia is committing," he said, adding the UK needs to keep supporting Ukraine because "if Putin wins, other nations will be in his sights".
Earlier, as part of her address after Sir Lindsay's remarks, she showed MPs and peers pictures displaying the impact of Russian strikes.
And she told of the discoveries made by Ukraine forces in areas recaptured from Russian control — including what she described as torture rooms and what she said was the systematic abuse of children and elderly people.
She said Ukrainians are going through a terror similar to that experienced by the UK in World War Two, when Nazi Germany bombed cities in the blitz.
"Victory is not the only thing we need, we need justice," Zelenska says, adding she "came to you for justice, because it will lead to the end of this war".
She went on to say it would have been impossible for the people of bombed British cities to accept those responsible would not receive justice.
The Ukrainian people affected by Russia's attacks deserve that same justice, Zelenska added. — BBC

Campus Soup-er-Man Provides Students a Reason to Dine
Monica Terada, Staff Writer
For many kids superman is a flying hero to be idolized. For GCC students, "soup-er-man" is the next best thing.
Jeffery Hechter, a native of Philadelphia, is the school's maximum authority when it comes to anything soup related. He's been making the soup for five years.
"Gumbo soup is my reason for coming to school on Thursday." said Luiz Leão, a political science major at GCC.
Hechter smiles when he hears students like his soup.
"I like talking to people because you get feedback," said Hechter, who puts a lot of work into the preparation of the soups.
"I usually make them in the morning," Hechter said. "It's easier to do it in the morning, I don't like making them the day before. I just make sure that I have everything prepped up. It doesn't really take that long. Certain things need to be cooked a little longer, like the potatoes. But I can do that in the morning."
The soups have a fixed two-week rotation schedule, and they are served at the school's newly renovated cafeteria.
"We used to do a seven-week rotation—now we just cut it down to two weeks," Hechter said.
Some of the favorites include New England clam chowder, gumbo and chicken tortilla.
"Chicken tortilla is one of my favorites also, and we make a chicken noodle soup which is pretty popular. Anything with chicken is popular," Hechter said.
For those who have not had the soup, there's still time for a bowl of Thursday's gumbo before the next rotation.
This is Monica's first semester as staff writer/cartoonist for the El Vaquero, she plans to transfer to a four year university and pursue a degree in film....

"Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will." -Martin Luther King Jr.
I think about this quote often in today's political landscape. It's getting harder and harder to draw a line between the two. 1/8
There's so much evidence of ill-will from our country's leadership that anyone who turns a blind eye to it is bordering on complicit. People have become convinced that membership in their tribe (whether political, religious, professional, etc) is more important than truth. 2/8
Even worse are those who say "I'm not political", which is an admission that you were born into a situation where your rights and worth as a human being were never questioned so it's not worth your time. THIS. IS. PRIVILEGE. 3/8

This is not working:
function buttond(){

}
     else if(ge){
    ge.style.display="none";

 }

}
}

Final work i am doing is adding play-next button given in below image link.

A: Your problem is here:
   var node=createElement("button");
   var text=createTextNode("click");

You need to change this to:
   var node=document.createElement("button");
   var text=document.createTextNode("click");

After this, it will work fine.

How Old is Bella Thorne? How Old is Her Fiancé, Benjamin Mascolo?
Lauren Weiler
Bella Thorne is known for her controversial social media activity and various personal projects. She got her start on the Disney channel and has been in the movie industry ever since. Now, it looks like she's prepping for marriage to her fiancé, Benjamin Mascolo. So, what is Bella Thorne's age in 2021, and how old is her soon-to-be husband?

Bella Thorne Is Engaged to Benjamin Mascolo: 10 Things to Know About Her Fiancé https://t.co/WoTgyDG594
— E! News (@enews) March 21, 2021
RELATED: Bella Thorne's Fans Are 'Disappointed' In Her Instagram Post Promoting a Weight Loss App
Bella Thorne's age currently stands at 23, and her birthday is Oct. 8, 1997. While many know Thorne for the movies she's acted in since adulthood, we can't forget she got her start as a child actor.
Teen Vogue reminds us Thorne's first major role came at the age of 6. She was in a movie titled Stuck On You back in 2003, and she also had roles in Entourage and The O.C. Later, she was recognized for her role as CeCe Jones on Shake It Up, a Disney Channel series that aired from 2010 to 2013.
Thorne's reputation shifted a lot over the years, too. Many think of Thorne as a partier with no limits thanks to her openness with her sexuality. But she's stated before that the public has no idea who she truly is or what she's all about.
"People have this idea in their head that I'm this crazy bad party girl, or this b*tchy, crazy druggie," she told The Independent. "I don't get it, because I feel like I don't actually put out, like… bad sh*t? … Most people who meet me will apologize. They're like, 'Yo, I'm sorry, I've read all these things and I just had a certain image in my head of who you are.'"

Despite her young age, Thorne's getting ready for marriage. She's engaged to Benjamin Mascolo, a singer from Italy whom she's dated for about two years, CNN reports.
On March 21, Mascolo posted a photo of him and Thorne showing off the engagement ring. He then added two more photos of him and Thorne kissing. "She said YES," he captioned the post, which brought along plenty of happy comments from fans.
Thorne then added a few sweet notes to her Instagram Stories, including a video of the ring with the caption, "He knows exactly my style."
With Bella Thorne's age at 23, what's Benjamin Mascolo's? He's 27, and it seems their small age difference doesn't carry any weight in their relationship. Billboard notes he's also a musician and actor, so he and Thorne have a lot in common. The two first met each other at Coachella. As Mascolo told Icon, "I immediately knew she was different from all the other women I met in my life."
What is Bella Thorne's net worth compared to Benjamin Mascolo's?
She said YES @bellathorne pic.twitter.com/MuINYwZbS0

Not only does the happy couple have each other's love, but they also have a lot of wealth between them. Thorne's accrued a ton of money over the years thanks to her humble beginnings in child stardom and her recent projects. And we can't forget her hefty social media following also helps her annual salary. All in all, her net worth stands around $5 million.
As for Mascolo, he has his own money, too. HITC reports his net worth stands around $1.5 million. It appears his career in lucrative has really paid off. When he was 15, Mascolo uploaded cover songs to YouTube that received a ton of attention, and he later became part of the successful duo Benji and Fede.
Once Thorne and Mascolo marry, we're bound to see a few creative projects involving the two of them. We're excited to see what happens moving forward.

So, you decided to buy pedigreed Scottish kitten and probably already faced an inexplicable spread of prices.
Here I will try to explain to you why in the cattery kitten is expensive and what is included in the cost of the kitten.
A cattery is a licensed activity for the breeding of pedigree cats!
Let's start with the fact that a cattery, first of all, is a licensed activity for the breeding of pedigree cats, which is officially registered in one of the international feline systems.
Only a breeder who has a diploma of a felinologist has the right to register a cattery.
There are no random matings in the cattery! All litters are planned and long-awaited!
Professional breeder competently makes couples, buys new cats, which cost from 1000 to 3000€.
All animals are examined for various diseases, they attend exhibitions at the local level and travel to other cities/countries, receive mandatory marks from licensed experts.
Breeders raise the level of knowledge (seminars in different cities).
ONLY healthy and high breed quality animals are allowed in breeding in the cattery.
The breeder is a member of the club. The club controls the activity of the cattery. The club issues documents for kittens.
The work of the cattery is aimed at obtaining healthy offspring, which will be as close as possible to the standard of the breed.
Nursery is a guarantee that you will get a real pedigreed Scottish kitten, and not a "British Fold" from two the same "British Fold" parents with hereditary or acquired flaws.
British Folds do not exist!
Remember! British Folds do not exist!
If the seller proudly declares that he do not have a cattery - you can be sure that you are dealing with an amateur who, after putting your money in a pocket for a kitten, will simply stop answering calls.
He will absolve himself of all responsibility for problems with health and education of a kitten.
The nursery, on the contrary, has its own face, its site and protects its reputation.It is important for the breeder to know the fate of his graduates and he is always ready to help.
Kittens from the cattery leave their home no earlier than at the age of 12 weeks old, they have good immunity, they are completely socialized.
Bad breeders do not want to spend money on proper nutrition for animals, vaccinations and training to the tray.
This is why they try to sell very small kittens.
What determines the cost of a pedigreed Scottish kitten?
Thirst for money is not the goal of the cattery!
Professional breeding of cats involves a lot of costs, which are hardly covered by the sale of kittens, among them: purchase of valuable breeding cats, expenses for their show career, veterinary expenses, club membership fees, proper feeding and growing of your future kitten, obligatory de-worming and vaccinations (the competent and timely actions of the breeder determine the health of your pet in the future).
However, this is not all!
Scottish Fold breed is very popular.
You can always see its brightest representatives at cat shows and on the Internet.
However, not every kitten with folded ears is pedigreed kitten!
Documents of a kitten - the main confirmation of the breed.
Also, the cost of a kitten depends on the color, type and class of the kitten.
More common colors (for example: blue, lilac, mackrel, marble) are cheaper than rare and very complex in obtaining golden and silvery colors: chinchilla, shaded, ticked.
By type also there are differences. Even in one litter kittens can be different. Someone has a phenotype as close to the standard of the breed, someone has a weaker one.
And, of course, the quality of the kitten - class.
The higher the kitten class, the more expensive the kitten!

Dueling 'Wall Street West' Efforts in NY, Pa.
Officials in Binghamton, N.Y. are seeking to establish the area as "Wall Street West" for financial data centers. Do they realize Pennsylvania launched a similar "Wall Street West" initiative two years ago?
Rich Miller | Sep 15, 2008
Officials in Binghamton, N.Y. are seeking to establish the area as "Wall Street West" to attract backup data centers for New York financial institutions. There's just one problem: the state of Pennsylvania has been using Wall Street West for three years as the brand for its own effort to capture financial data centers.
Economic development officials from Broome County and Empire State Development met Friday in New York with Sen. Charles Schumer and about 25 representatives of New York City's top real estate and financial institutions to tout opportunities in the Binghamton area. The group discussed upstate New York sites in Kirkwood, Endicott and Union that could be attractive for data centers.
The initiative's boosters said it could be several years before a New York City firm decides to create a data backup site in the Binghamton area. Schumer noted that Scranton, Pa., is "another community that is under consideration" - suggesting that the Binghamton team is aware of the existing Pennsylvania "Wall Street West" effort.
After several years of struggling to attract projects, Pennsylvania's Wall Street West recently announced its first major data center development, a a 228,600 square foot data center in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley being built by disaster recovery specialist Data Based Systems International, Inc. (DBSi).
Pennyslvania's Wall Street West initiative is backed by a $15 million investment from the federal government and more than $6 million from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which saw an opportunity to build on mandates from federal regulators for financial firms to have backup centers outside the New York metro area.
