Front is the new back. And pack is the new bag. When it comes to casual dressing, the latest celeb bag trend isn't just the roomy backpack, from the classic and quilted to the rugged and safari-inspired. It's carrying your backpack in the front. Think 360° and use the straps to your full advantage. Also, use your hands. While the appeal of the backpack has long been in its capacity to free you up, now is the time to take a hands-on approach.
Off-duty model fashion always piques our interest – especially when covetable bags are involved – and few models get more photographer attention than Victoria's Secret Angels. Their individual styles aren't just on display in lingerie and swimwear shoots; they're even more prominent in everyday moments. From Adriana Lima's well-priced basic black tote to Alessandra Ambrosio's on-trend Fendi to Candice Swanepoel's classic Chanel Flap, there's enough variety to suit every personality – and with the frugally-priced alternatives I found, every budget as well.
When it comes to Italian handbags, there are three supremely reigning brands. Gucci, Fendi, and Prada run the show – and they regularly blast the other Milan Fashion Week shows out of the competition. For the Spring '16 season, the designers for all three well-seasoned houses seemed to have a single mission on the mind: To showcase their lust for life.
The business of re-commerce is bigger than ever, thanks to social media and technology. With so many sites around, it's hard to navigate and zero in on the best. I recently discovered LGS in Dallas (and Chicago!), founded by two childhood friends, Brielle Buchberg and Lindsay Segal. LGS is Brie and Lindsay's joint vision: A curated designer retail experience and consignment boutique rolled into one.
A Bag for Every Sign: Happy Chinese New Year!
Today officially marks the first day of the Year of the Monkey! My son was born in the Year of the Golden Monkey, so I'm naturally biased towards this sign. Monkeys are most creative and intelligent, and they're also known for being playful, enthusiastic, and highly social. This is the Year of the Red Fire Monkey, and it's being said anything can happen in 2016, particularly when it comes to personal endeavors. Might I suggest acquiring a new bag as your first personal endeavor of the new year?


Originally, I thought this was a Nissan.
Let me try a close-up view of that sign at Wildwood State Park.
Who has a year for this Lincoln?
Okay, this is for Harley experts, or motorcycle experts in general. Obviously this was customized by some aftermarket garage, so it's not a Servi-Car, but does anyone have a model name for the bike?
Another one here. These pics are in a wooded area in Calverton, New York. All three look like Chrysler products, but the truck could be something else.
[...] but the truck could be something else.
I don't know for the cars, but the pickup is indeed a Mopar product. The wheel rims are obviously a later modification, but if the rest is genuine, it's a 1950 Dodge B-2-Series: 1948-50 cab with a 1950+ Low Side bed.
Most probably a ½-ton B-2-B, as it appears to have a really short bed. Or a 1948-49 B-1-B if the bed was changed.
I thought that might've been a Dodge B-Series, but the grille didn't seem right. My other choices were a Wilson from Canada, or even a Powell.
On another topic, can someone give me one good reason I shouldn't believe this Ford Mustang is a 1968 GT California Special?
Another thing, does this look like a Freightliner Cascadia to anyone else but me?
All details seem indeed to match.
Another step outside of the Wikimedia Commons. The American Truck Historical Society is having a hard time identifying many of these trucks, but honestly, most of the ones I've seen there are Whites.
Now how about something that I just submitted to this site?
I don't think this is a real Harley. It looks like a Japanese Harley-fighter. Which model had the big circle logo on the tank with wings and an arrow pointing down?
How about this van from Australia used to promote Lambretta scooters?
Can anyone else see the insignia on this truck?
Looks very 1950s Austin/Morris?? Local build of lots of BMC trucks out there.
No, but I can see a Giga sign on the drivers door and a CXH sticker under the windscreen on the passenger side so it should be an Isuzu Giga CXH [some numbers].
How about this fire truck next to the Ford C-Series.
I keep thinking Hahn for some reason.

Grand Theft Auto 6 Leak Is Massive, Here Are Some Highlights
The Grand Theft Auto 6 leak has a details on the main characters and locations.
By Jason Collins
| Published 3 weeks ago
More than eight months have passed since Rockstar Games announced the highly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6, the sequel to a massively popular GTA 5, the game which spanned over three console generations. Following the announcement, however, Rockstar fell silent, and no updates were offered about the game's development. All of that changed this weekend when a massive, unprecedented leak containing more than 90 videos of the in-development Grand Theft Auto 6 surfaced online. Here are some of its biggest highlights.
Unfortunately, we can't actually link all the footage; according to Kotaku, Rockstar's parent company Take-Two Interactive has started to issue copyright claims against the leaked content on various social media and media streaming platforms. Considering the number of online shares and the magnitude of fans' excitement, Take-Two lawyers might be fighting a losing battle, but one shouldn't underestimate the power of money that backs up these media conglomerates. Those interested in viewing the leaked Grand Theft Auto 6 footage can do so with a Google search and a few mouse clicks.
As for the most interesting part — the footage — there's about 50 minutes of it, and most videos included in the leak are very short. Longer videos show Grand Theft Auto 6's female protagonist robbing a dinner and threatening its staff and customers. The NPCs offer a fantastic and very real-like fearful reaction to having a gun pulled on them. Another piece of material shows her and her male accomplice in a shootout with the police before hijacking the police car and driving away. The graphics in all videos are great and quite realistic, but still consistent with the GTA aesthetics.
Perhaps the biggest of all Grand Theft Auto 6 highlights is the franchise's return to one of its most iconic locations — Vice City, Florida. However, the upcoming game is set in modern times, so the current iteration of Vice City, while still recognizable, is much bigger and much more in line with the current urban trends. Based on the leaked footage, players will have the opportunity to explore Vice City's city centers and their recognizable locations, such as the Malibu Club, the Ocean View hotel, Little Haiti, and Vice Beach. This actually lines up with the previously leaked information.
As for the Grand Theft Auto 6 aforementioned protagonist, the initial announcement introduced the franchise's first female main character, which went exactly how everyone imagined — with the segment of the fandom complaining about Rockstar's catering to the SJW movement pushing for the inclusion of ladies in the male-dominated franchise. However, the franchise veterans were quick to point out to their younger "colleagues" that the early installments of their favorite franchise featured female protagonists — which had no adverse effects on the gameplay.
With that said, as per leaked footage, the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6 will star two characters: the aforementioned female protagonist, Lucia, and a man named Jason. They apparently have a Bonnie and Clyde-type of relationship, which is also backed up by the mention of the crime world's most iconic couple in some debug menus shown in the leaked footage. Whether the dual-character gameplay was planned from the beginning or Rockstar added a male figure to appease the disgruntled fans is and will likely remain unclear.
Other interesting features in Grand Theft Auto 6 include a significantly improved cops AI — the Five-O now seems better organized, more tactical, and more coordinated. This also means that you'll have to ditch and switch vehicles when escaping the police. Also, there's mention of swaps, and their native wildlife, including alligators and numerous other beasts that players would have to watch for when traversing Vice City's surrounding areas.
Despite the awesomeness of leaked content, it's worth pointing out that Grand Theft Auto 6 is still a work-in-progress, and some of these features might not make it into the game's final cut. As of right now, the game still doesn't have an official release date, and it's quite possible that the massive leak might affect the game's development.

What one shout-out from Richard Branson did for this six-month-old Dublin company
As part of our weekly Startup Spotlight series, we profile Coroflo.
By Killian Woods Reporter, Fora October 22nd 2017 4 min read
PROTOTYPE IN THE bag, patent secured, €650,000 in funding raised and a shout-out from Richard Branson – Irish startup Coroflo has squeezed a lot into the past six months.
The company, based in Dublin's Dogpatch Labs and incorporated in April, is developing a product that uses a smartphone app to monitor milk supply to a baby during breastfeeding.
Developed by co-founders Helen Barry and James Travers, the Coro device has been in research and development since 2015.
The company's chief executive, Rosanne Longmore, joined the project full-time earlier this year to lead the business operation after a 15-year career in finance and investment.
Speaking to Fora, she says that the idea for the device came about after both Barry, who is a medical doctor, and Travers, who worked in 3D printing, couldn't find a device to monitor breast milk supply when the couple had their first child.
Longmore says Coroflo is about to start testing the product ahead of a commercial launch in the second half of next year with two leading Irish pharmacy chains.
The device will help address the "global breastfeeding crisis", she claims.
The World Health Organisation has recommended women breastfeed children up to the age of six months, but only two in five mothers actually do.
She says that Coro will give mothers who breastfeed an accurate measure of how much milk their child is getting and in turn decrease the number who opt for using milk formula instead.

Over the past few months, the company has also collected a prize as Irish winner of the Virgin Media Business Voom Tour pitch competition.
Longmore says the recognition has been a major source of momentum for the startup.
"We were only a few weeks in Dogpatch when we won Voom in May. It's a free competition, I made a two-minute application video in the office on my phone and we got asked to pitch.
"When we won the Dublin leg we got a lot of press coverage, which is vital for a startup. Once you get a bit of coverage and investors start to hear about you, it makes that investor pitch a little bit easier."
As a winner of the Virgin Media competition, Longmore was invited to meet Virgin founder Richard Branson – and she says there were two things she wanted to get from the meeting.
One was a picture of the billionaire entrepreneur with the Coroflo product and the second was a written endorsement for the firm's EU Horizon 2020 grant application. But she got more than she bargained for.
At the launch of his recent book, Branson name-dropped Coroflo, which Longmore says caused a spike in interest that no PR could replicate.
"The reaction has been phenomenal. Obviously, the traffic to the website is up, and when we were over in London we were able to tee up a number of meetings with VCs.
"We've had VCs from the US contact us, so we have interest from around the globe. I can't say anything definite has come from the shout-out yet, but we're positive it will."

Head down
For now, Longmore says the company is ready to step away from the limelight for a while.
With the startup's seed round completed – including as-yet unnamed investors and €250,000 from Enterprise Ireland's high-potential startup programme – Coroflo is working on the 'user acceptance' phase of testing.
Development of the app needs to be finalised, while the company also plans to recruit. Longmore and Travers are the startup's only full-time staff at present.
The firm had initially looked to secure just €250,000 at its seed stage, however Longmore says it decided to aim for a larger sum to give the business the resources it needed to reach its potential.
"We started developing financial forecasts and we realised we were going to need more cash than we original anticipated," she says.
"In order to extend that runway, we felt more comfortable getting investment of €650,000 – no startups want to run out of road in the early stage of building their business."

SU Masterclass 51: Philip Samartzis on Working with Communities
Home SU Masterclass 51: Philip Samartzis on Working with Communities
Sounds Unheard, April 7, 2021 April 6, 2021 , 0
Philip Samartzis is a sound artist and curator with a specific interest in the social and environmental conditions informing remote wilderness regions and their communities. Philip is an Associate Professor within RMIT School of Art, and the artistic director of the Bogong Centre for Sound Culture.
Philip's art practice is based on deep fieldwork where he deploys complex sound recording technology to capture natural, anthropogenic and geophysical forces. He is particularly interested in concepts of perception, immersion and embodiment in order to provide audiences with sophisticated encounters of space and place.
Philip's Sounds Unheard masterclass series, "Environmental Sound", takes us into the world of field recordings and sound art. We'll be looking at how everyday and natural sounds from different environments can be used in compositions and collaborations, and hearing some of the stories behind Philip's works created in remote areas including Antarctica, the Swiss and Australian Alps, and the Kimberley region of northern Western Australian.
In the third episode, "Working with Communities", Philip discusses two projects that are driven by collaboration and socially-engaged practice. The Bogong Centre for Sound Culture, established by Philip and Madelynne Cornish, is an artist-led initiative in the Victorian Alps. Though an ongoing residency program and the collective work of visiting artists, the Bogong Centre is documenting the effects of both climate change and sustainable energy on the local landscape.
Philip also discusses his work in Western Australia's Kimberley region, collaborating with indigenous communities to create new sound works. In this project, Philip attempts to record an experience of country through the listening of community, capturing the sounds that are important to them. This episode includes an excerpt of these recordings, created during residencies with Tura New Music (10:14).
Join us next Wednesday for the final episode in Philip's masterclass series, 'Collaboration and Complication'.

Gibraltar Wizz Air discontinues Luton route
The flights began a year ago. / SUR
Wizz Air discontinues Luton route
The company will resume services to the rock as soon as it makes business sense
DEBBIE BARTLETT Friday, 10 December 2021, 12:58
The airline Wizz Air has announced that, after talks with the Gibraltar government, it has decided not to continue operating its flights between the Rock and Luton. Describing this as having been a "difficult decision" to make, the company said in a statement that it was due to uncertainty over the Covid-19 pandemic and that it is keen to resume services to Gibraltar as soon as it makes business sense.


The final recommendations for new constituency boundaries have been published. The aim is to equalise the size of the electorate in each constituency and reduce the number of MPs from 650 to 600. Our county MPs should vote against the proposals.
Under the plans, Ludlow will become part of a new constituency with Leominster. Bridgnorth will join with the Wrekin. If the proposals go through, and that's a "big if" right now, we will get a shakeup of MPs in the south and east of the county.
Ludlow is Shropshire. It should remain in Shropshire at every political level and not be merged with a very different county.
Ludlow constituency is set to see major changes if proposals put forward by the Boundaries Commission are adopted by parliament. Nearly 8,000 people will be moved into the constituency from north Herefordshire and it will be renamed Leominster and Ludlow. Bridgnorth will join the Wrekin and Wellington. There are small expansions to Telford and Shrewsbury constituencies, while North Shropshire remains unchanged under the proposals.
Robert Tindall, recently re-elected councillor for Brown Clee, has today announced his resignation from the Conservative group on Shropshire Council.
I'm not surprised that Councillor Tindall has taken this action. He was one of at least three councillors from the south of the county that did not vote for the new leader of Shropshire Council, Peter Nutting. The makeup of the new cabinet has concentrated power further towards the north of the county.


Budtender knew little about the strain profiles or other products. Smooth talker, but when it came down to knowing the details, I knew more about their stuff than they did. Felt like they just hired charming twenty-something's to sell products without being knowledgeable about it. Not cool.
Love the deal section in the back of the store. often you can buy a lot of decent bud for cheap. I've found gsc for 10 an 8th here many times. good stuff!
Friendly and professional staff, bright, clean location, didn't feel like a sleazy headshop. Found my favorite edibles cheaper than my local store. Haven't tried their flower yet, but will defiantly return.
the best club closest to the 805 beats anything close! friendly staff, great prices, high quality flower! this is my home away from home! the only dispensary i get my meds at!! if you have not been do yourself a favor and go!!
great location, good service, unfortunately no by gr sell nor Durban poison available.Disappointing.
By far the best dispensary closest to Ventura County. High quality for great prices!
The staff is very knowledgeable. They are friendly and very patient, which is important because I'm new to this.

What Causes Adult Acne

What Causes Adult Acne?
Main reasons why do acne's grow on adults.
acne. acnes, faqs, faq, FAQ, FAQS, ACNE, ACNES
Regardless of age, acne is a condition of the sebaceous glands. These glands are attached to hair follicles and produce an oily substance called sebum. An acne lesion forms when a hair follicle becomes plugged with sebum and dead cells. The pathogenic (disease-causing) events in the sebaceous glands are believed to be due in large degree to changes in levels of androgenic (male) hormones in the body�a circumstance usually associated with the growth and development that occurs between the ages of 12 and 21. Therefore, it is important to look for an underlying cause of acne that occurs for the first time in adulthood.
Acne that appears after 25 to 30 years of age occurs for one of these reasons:
1.	Recurrence of acne that cleared up after adolescence
2. Flare-up of acne after a period of relative quiet�for example, during pregnancy
3. Occurs for the first time in a person who had never previously had acne.
Acne that appears for the first time in adulthood should be examined by a dermatologist who can investigate the underlying cause. Some causes of adult acne are:
* Medication. Some medications that can induce acne include anabolic steroids (sometimes used illegally by athletes to �bulk up�), some anti-epileptic medications, the anti-tuberculosis drugs isoniazid and rifampin, lithium and iodine-containing medications.
* Chronic physical pressure on the skin. Chafing from the straps of a backpack or tucking a violin between the jaw and chin can cause chronic physical pressure on the skin and may induce a condition known as acne mechanica.
* Chlorinated industrial chemicals. These may induce the occupational skin disorder known as chloracne.
* Metabolic conditions. Changes in the hormonal balance, such as those brought about by pregnancy, menstruation or hormonal abnormalities can induce acne.
It is also important to know that some lesions which appear to be acne are not acne at all. One skin condition that resembles acne is folliculitis, which occurs when the hair follicles become infected and inflamed. Folliculitis requires different treatment than acne.
Acne that occurs in adulthood may be difficult to treat if there are multiple recurrences. Some patients with severe recurrent acne have undergone repeated courses of treatment with the potent systemic drug isotretinoin.
Since adult acne may be difficult to treat, acne that appears for the first time in adulthood should be examined and treated by a dermatologist.

Journalism in the UAE
Topic: Entertainment & Media
Home > Entertainment & Media > Journalism in the UAE
The government of UAE has over the years employed fear crusades against mass communication organizations. Journalists have often been detained, jailed, or fined and at times interrogating editors as well as reporters for allegedly contravening media laws that are ambiguous.
At one moment, it would be tolerable for mass media journalist to engage in reporting events such as the sex scandal of Ras Al Khaimah in the northern region of Emirate, and in another moment, the journalist could be hunted down by the government of UAE for suggesting that the country harbor activities related to prostitution.
The current media law governing mass communication journalism in the UAE is ambiguous and overtaken by events (Freedom House, 2009). Thus, the government can censor news and information from mass communication journalism that may have content that it considers inappropriate.
A case in point is the incident where the UAE government blocked Flickr.Com and www.uaetorture. Com websites for allegedly disseminating information that is inappropriate. To this end, mass communication journalism is, to a lesser extent, prevalent in the UAE.
In the year 2009, The National Media Council (NMC) that was formed to replace the members of the disbanded Ministry of Information and Culture drafted a media law that was expected to address the ambiguities that existed in the repealed law as well as alleviate the freedom of the press.
Nevertheless, the media law that was published never met the expectations of activists and journalist in the UAE (Ibrahim Al-Abed et al. 2005). Consequently, activists and journalists complained that the media law that was promulgated by the National Media Council consolidated the powers of government to control and direct the mass communication sector.
There were particular sections of the law that were unfavorable to the mass media industry such as article 33 of the law which imposed a fine on any journalist who disseminated any information that could be deemed to "disingenuous" on the country's' economy or any information that could tarnish the image of UAE.
In such instances, journalists could be fined up to about AED 500,000. Also, article 32 of the same law imposed an outrageous penalty of about AED 5 million on any journalist who reports on any matter that seems reproachful to any royal family member or officials of the UAE government.
As if that is not enough, the law empowers the National Media Council (NMC) to demand from media houses, security deposits that are unspecified for purposes of assisting the media companies in servicing probable fines in the event of any contravention of the law. The requirement of such security deposits that are unspecified is seen by many analysts as a clear assurance to that government that the media industry will always be under its control (Rugh 2004).
This is because the UAE government is capable of locking out media companies through imposing high-security deposit if the government deem a particular media house or journalist does not support its interest. Surprisingly, the media law empowers the UEA government to manipulate the process of taking into service employees in the mass communication industry.
The conditions of journalist in the UAE, particularly regarding the current media law are wanting. The Association of Journalists in the UAE presented a petition to the government demanding that the current media law requires urgent amendments to guarantee the rights and freedom of the press as well as the development of mass communication journalism in the UAE (Pintak 2007).
Further, the Human Rights Watch (HRW) as well as the Qatar based Doha Center for Media Freedom destined the current media law as an obstacle to the freedom of the press in UAE. The Human Rights Watch (HRW) stated the effect that the promulgated media law in the UAE does not promote the freedom of the press in the county but rather continues to suppress the very rights and freedom of journalist in the UAE.
In the statement released by the Human Rights Watch (HRW), the media law promulgated by the government of UAE contained arbitrary articles that imposed outrageous fines; the law also imposed inconsiderate requirements for registration as well as limiting the freedom of speech.
In the opinion of the Human Rights Watch, such rules and the media law, in general, are geared towards checking any form of criticism that may be directed towards the UAE government from the mass communication industry.
The protection of government officials as well as members of the royal family from any form of criticism from the media is a clear infringement of the fundamental principle regarding the freedom of the press under international human rights which guarantees journalist the freedom to report on public officials as well as politicians.
Analyst of the mass communication industry in the UAE think that the imposition of such exorbitant fines on a journalist is a new way used by the government of the UAE to restrain the freedom of journalist with the same effect as the earlier laws (Ayish 2003). This is because failure to pay such fines by a journalist would earn him or her a term in jail only that this time round the incarceration is not because the person involved is a journalist but because he fails to raise the stipulated amount of fine.
The prevalence of mass communication journalism in the UAE came under a big test when ABC News a media house from the united states aired a film that contained torture activities executed by a royal family member from the UAE (Ginges & Pintak 2009). The tape allegedly featured one Sheikh Issa torturing one Mohammed Shah a businessman from Afghanistan. The tape also contained a person who seemingly wore the police uniform of United Arab Emirate participating in the act of torturing the businessman from Afghanistan.
The person who took this tape to the ABC News broadcast alleges that he was arrested falsely by the police in Abu Dhabi on charges of trafficking drugs. Bassam Nabulsi served a three month jail time for refusing to surrender to the UAE government the tape containing the torture incident. Surprisingly none of the UAE media agencies attempted to comprehensively report on this matter since it involved a nephew of Dubai ruler.
The only story about the incident was reported in the National daily news papers based in Dubai. Nevertheless, the article contained in the local newspapers was fundamentally fuzzy, and it gave no clear account of the issue of the alleged torture incident. The follow-up story of the incident that was disseminated by the local newspapers only indicated that the case was being investigated by the UAE government without any further details of what had been unearthed by the investigation.
According to Pintak & Ginges (2008), there were a couple of obstacles that stood in the way of other journalists attempt to report on the story: to begin with, those journalist who had friends in the UAE government cautioned them against covering the anecdote; secondly, the other journalist in the UAE understood perfectly that they had to be very careful in reporting anything that involved any member of the royal family in the UAE as the may be trailing on a loose rope.
It is evident from such incidences that mass communication journalism in the UAE is to a lager extent under the control and direction of the government making it impossible for a journalist to report on matters of public importance. A case in point is the incident that involved a group of investors who were allegedly defrauded by a developer who sold them properties in buildings that did not belong to him.
The investors, according to The Independent, a newspaper based in London, were claiming a refund of their investment totaling to eighty-six million Great Britain pounds. The investors never got the sort of media coverage from the UAE as they had expected to air out their grievances. In this incident, the government official of the UAE issued a warning against publication or reporting on the press conference called by the investors. This move by the UAE government is seen as a cover-up of the developers' fraudulent acts against the investors since the developer one Sheikh Maktoum was a nephew to the Dubai ruler (Aggarwal & Gupta 2001).
The warnings to the media agencies in the UAE came about following the direct involvement of a royal family member in the scandal. The mass communication journalism in the UAE is therefore sandwiched between a rock and a hard place particularly due to the current media law which aims at protecting the interest of government officials as well as the royal family members most of whom (UAE royals) hold influential positions in most if not all companies in the UAE and public offices.
This becomes almost impossible for a journalist in the UAE to report on matters related to government offices as they may be crossing the line of the royal family, a venture that may earn them a cruel fine. To this end, mass communication journalism in the UAE can never be able to hold public officials accountable for any wrongful act they committee while in office.
The law governing mass communication journalism in the UAE is a major hindrance to the mass media freedom in the country. It plays the role of insulating the questionable acts of government bureaucrats and redeeming them from public criticism as well as accountability. In all, the role of mass communication journalism in the UAE as a watchdog of the public is a nice dream far from being actualized (Davidson 2008).
It should, however, be noted that the media law in UAE gives some form of relieving to mass communication journalism in the sense that no journalist may be jailed or detained for doing their work. This is by a decree issued in 2007 by Sheikh Mohammed, a ruler in Dubai.
This law was highly welcomed by journalist and mass media industry in the UAE. This led to the publication of a commentary on the issue in the Gulf News which is a Dubai daily newspapers the commentary explained that the promulgation of the new media law hold up the role of mass communication journalism in the UAE, as well as coagulate the practice and principle of freedom within the parameters of the law and the rights of individual to access information. The commentary further states that. Unlike the law passed in 1980, the current law excludes any possibility of arbitrary incarceration of journalists in their line of work (Ibrahim Al-Abed et al. 2006).
Indeed, mass communication journalism in the EUA has a long way to go, particularly about the obstacles posed by the current media law. The media law in the UAE imposed a fine on any journalist who disseminated any information that could be deemed to "disingenuous" on the country's' economy or any information that could tarnish the image of UAE (Mellor 2008).
Further, the law imposed an outrageous penalty of about AED 5 million on any journalist or mass media company that publish or report on any matter that seems reproachful to any royal family member or officials of the UAE government. In the words of Pejman (2009), the existence of such laws in the twenty-first century negates the principle of press freedom and rather serves as insulation of the dubious acts of government bureaucrats and redeeming them from public criticism as well as accountability.
Consequently, the role of mass communication journalism in the UAE as a watchdog of the public interest is rendered useless and ineffectual. Even though journalist may not be incarcerated in the UAE while in their line of work, the existence of such exorbitant fines on a journalist is a new way used by the government of the UAE to restrain the freedom of journalist with the same effect as the earlier laws.

Understanding and Addressing Unconscious Bias In The Workplace
Unconscious bias is the innate human skill that enables us to quickly process large amounts of information and draw conclusions and make judgements based on that information. In times of old this would have improved our chances of survival and helped us make decisions based on past experiences. In the modern work context it means we are more likely to make decisions about recruitment, and promotion based on innate prejudices and deeply harboured biases we may not even be aware of.
It's not realistic to expect workplaces to entirely eradicate unconscious bias from their recruitment practices, however taking steps to address the fact it exists, understanding the consequences of ignoring it and putting in place a plan to mitigate some of the effects of unconscious bias can drive great benefits to workplaces.
Howard J. Ross has written extensively about unconscious bias and says his research has shown that the limiting patters of unconscious behaviour are not limited to one group. Everyone has them and he says that even the most effective and successful business managers and leaders have to be able to identify their own unconscious bias before they can guide others in acknowledging and confronting theirs.
"Each one of us has some groups with which we unconsciously feel uncomfortable, even as we castigate others for feeling uncomfortable with our own groups. These conscious patters of discrimination are problematic, but again, they pale in comparison to the unconscious patterns that impact us every day. Unconscious perceptions govern many of the most important decisions we make and have a profound effect on the lives of many people in many ways…Unconscious patterns can play out in ways that are so subtle they are hard to spot," said Mr Ross in his seminal article Proven Strategies for Addressing Unconscious Bias in the Workplace.
Five simple strategies you can implement to address and reduce unconscious bias in the workplace
1. Admit biases are learned early and are counter to our commitment to fair and just treatment
Point out subtle stereotypes used by peers and in the media. Surround yourself with tools and cues that help remind yourself and others that equality matters and is hard work to achieve, If people are aware of their hidden biases they can monitor and attempt to ameliorate hidden attitudes before they are addresses through behaviour. This compensation can include attention to language, body language and to the stigmatization felt by target groups.
2. Create environments where different views are welcome
Think positively particularly about people of whom you were previously critical. Ask yourself: is your negative based on anything deeper than their overt behaviour? Are you misinterpreting their behaviour or attitude?
3. Build integrated teams
Create policies and cultures that require colleagues to treat each other with courtesy and professionalism. By including members of other groups in a task people can begin to think of themself as part of a larger community in which everyone has skills and can contribute. Such experiences have been shown to improve attitudes across racial and cultural lines among people of all ages and backgrounds.
4. Use your imagination
There is evidence that unconscious attitudes, contrary to initial expectations, may be malleable. For example imagining strong women leaders and seeing people from minority ethnic groups in executive roles has been shown to, at least temporarily, change unconscious biases. Using your imagination to create and frame a positive outcome can assist in uncovering new opportunities for progress.
5. Volunteer together
When people work together in a structured environment to solve shared problems through community service their attitudes to diversity can change dramatically.
Howard also advocates implementation of a number of pragmatic devices to actively address and prevent unconscious bias. These include:
A review of every aspect of the employment life cycle for hidden bias, this includes screening resumes, interviews, onboarding, assignment process, mentoring programs, performance evaluation, identification of high achievers, promotion and termination.
Anonymous third party complaint channels so employees who feel as though their complaints aren't being addressed fairly have another avenue to explore.
Anonymous surveys of past and present employees to learn what biases exist in a workplace and how these could be addressed.
Resume studies to examine whether candidates with similar education and experience are weighted equally.
Support of workplace programs which increase diversity and create bridges to less well represented groups within the community.
Case Study: Commonwealth Bank of Australia
In Australia the Commonwealth Bank (CBA) has successfully started addressing some of the issues surrounding inherent bias and the resultant lack of workplace diversity through its Unconscious Bias Leadership Program.
This program was rolled out to CBA's 2000 senior leaders and promoted greater understanding of the role these people play in promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace through their actions and behaviour. As a result of this program the CBA won an international Catalyst Award in 2012.
Executive General Manager, Information Technology, Steve McGregor said many of the actions from the Unconscious Bias Leadership Program were simple and easy to implement once recognised and discussed.
"Ensuring diversity on interview panels and candidate pools, trialling blind CVs where cultural and gender references are removed from shortlisted CVs, recognising cultural days, and the distribution of bias help cards to all people managers have been effective in raising awareness and driving change," he said.
Steve said it is important that managers drive the cultural changes by role modeling the desirable behaviours and holding people accountable for the required changes.
"Attracting female employees to traditionally male IT areas remains a challenge for us, one that we're keen to go after.
We've implemented a number of initiatives internally and externally to strengthen our female talent pipeline. We sponsor women in IT events in high schools and universities, run mentoring programs for senior female leaders, track the application process for females applying for senior leadership roles, and ensure there are females on all interview panels, in line with our Appointment to Role policy," he said.

For the duration of Comic-Con, we do things differently at The Cat Cafe. We allow access in 30 minute increments at specific times. We use a reservations system for time with the cats. And we also don't do adoptions during the show.
As Karla Peterson of the San Diego Union Tribune wrote in her column about our first year, "even Iron Man wouldn't walk through Comic-Con with a cat carrier." That meant anyone who wanted to do an adoption needed to wait until after the show.
Berlioz's potential adopter understood why this was necessary. Looking outside The Cat Cafe and seeing the crowds made it clear. So did the crowd that was in the playpen, even with a reservations system in place. Both the adopter and us wanted to complete the adoption, but we knew it would have to wait. Berlioz's potential adopter was also working during the event. This meant that even if they could get the hotel to agree to allowing him to stay, getting supplies would be difficult.
That's why we agreed to do the adoption on Sunday after Comic-Con ended. Berlioz could then go home with far less foot traffic outside The Cat Cafe to contend with. Doing this prevented Berlioz's adopter from having to worry about supplies and lodging as well.
On Sunday after the show concluded, Berlioz's adopter arrived right on time. They were so excited to adopt him that they didn't mind arriving as we were cleaning around The Cat Cafe. We finished the paperwork quickly, and then we prepared Berlioz for the trip to his new home in the Los Angeles area.
Berlioz didn't mind getting into the carrier, and he didn't make a peep as his adopter took him to their car. And he's settled in just fine.
We're so happy we were able to complete this Comic-Con adoption! All of our adoptions are fun, but this one is extra special.

Q: How come this script works as intended? So I started to look into python today and I made this script. It works exactly as intended but I don't know why. So I generate a random number three times like shown below but I label all three the same, as random_number. Shouldn't that mean all three only use the first randomly generated number? I'm sorry if this is a very silly question, I'm just curious.
random_number =random.randint(1,3)
print(random_number)

if 1 == random_number :print(name1)
if random_number == 2 :print(name2)
if random_number == 3 :print(name3)

A: It first prints the random integer that was chosen by randint in line 2
then it checks to see if integer is among 1, 2, or 3 as specified and if found true just prints the name alongside it. And if randint randomly chooses numbers from 3 to 9 it just prints number in line 2 but not on any other line.

Eczema is a common condition that affects many people. It can be aggravated by many things, including cold weather. People who have eczema may also find that the condition worsens with stress. Winter months can be quite harsh and drag on resulting in conditions such as the winter blues and seasonal affective disorder. The itchy condition can get worse during these times, which can result in added stress, which further triggers a worsening of the case.
The result of additional stress on the body may result in inflammation on your skin. This causes a worsening in the outbreak of the eczema rash. Dealing with your stress or, or even better, preventing it, can help alleviate some of the symptoms associated with eczema. There are many ways that you can do this.
The first thing to do is to just relax. This may sound easier to say than to do but there are many methods out there to help you relax and refocus your anxious thoughts. You could try something physically calming like yoga or something as simple as deep breathing. Listening to relaxing music, taking a walk or simply writing a journal can work as well. Some find exercise to be very helpful as well, however, keep in mind that sweating may further irritate your eczema, so be sure to shower it off immediately after working out. Investing time in discovering what works for you, will help to relieve the stress associated with eczema and reduce inflammation, and the sensation of irritation.
A lack of sleep is also a major factor in feeling stressed and it certainly doesn't help if your itchiness is keeping you up all night. If your condition is at the point where you are unable to sleep or focus during the day then you need to discuss methods for relieving it with your doctor. You can also find support by talking to other people who may have the same condition, either online or face to face. They may be aware of some alternative methods that may help you relieve the itch.
Managing stress is one aspect of having a healthy lifestyle but it also helps when it comes to managing eczema. It is important to spend some time in your life doing something that you enjoy or that relaxes you in order to have good physical and mental health. To help control your eczema outbreaks we recommend our client recommended natural line of eczema products.

The Toronto Raptors might be in the market for a new big man. According to ESPNs Chris Broussard, the Raptors will meet with free agent centre Andray Blatche Wednesday in Las Vegas. The 27-year-old Blatche played the last two seasons with the Brooklyn Nets and was a good contributor off the bench for Brooklyn in their first round victory over the Raptors in this years playoffs. He averaged 11.2 points and 5.3 rebounds per game in 73 games played in 2013-14. Blatche would likely back up Jonas Valanciunas if he ends up in Toronto. In 564 career games with the Washington Wizards and Nets, Blatche has averaged 10.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. The American was selected by the Wizards out of high school in the second round (49th overall) of the 2005 NBA Draft. Cheap NCAA Jerseys Authentic .

College Jerseys Outlet .com) - Baltimore Ravens running back Justin Forsett is active for Sundays matchup with the Miami Dolphins.CINCINNATI – Theres a lot to say about what happened at Great American Ballpark on Friday night but Erik Kratz needed only three words to aptly describe a 14-9 Blue Jays win over the Reds. "It was awesome," he said. Coming off an ugly three-game sweep at the hands of the Yankees, Toronto found itself in a deep hole early after the Reds put an eight spot up on starter Liam Hendriks (six runs in 1 2/3 innings pitched) and Todd Redmond in the second. All seemed lost, but then the offence, relatively dormant in a stretch of nine losses in 12 games, came to life. As it is with these Blue Jays, as it seems it must be, home runs played a significant role in the comeback. Edwin Encarnacion hit two. The first was the most important. Encarnacion took Mat Latos deep for a three-run shot in the third, a comparatively meek answer to Cincinnatis eight runs the half-inning prior, but the Jays were on the board nonetheless. Brett Lawrie hit a one out homer in the seventh to cut the deficit to 9-6. Three batters later, pinch hitter Juan Francisco hit a two-run shot off journeyman Reds reliever Jumbo Diaz. The score was 9-8, officially nail-biting time for the 33,103 predomiantly Reds fans in attendance. Encarnacion sealed the deal with another three-run home run in the ninth. By that time the Jays were ahead and the second deck shot extended the lead to 14-9. Suddenly, Encarnacion is baseballs leader with 23 home runs. He has three in two games, a sign hes coming out of his slump. "I think we got the emotion back," said Encarnacion. "Everybody in the dugout felt very happy. We felt we could come back." Starting catcher, Dioner Navarro, hit a two out, game-tying double off Jonathan Broxton in the eighth. His replacement in a double switch, Erik Kratz, hit the go-ahead double off flamethrower Aroldis Chapman in the ninth. That Jays put up runs on Cincinnatis formidable one-two bullpen punch (Broxton had a 0.40 ERA entering the game, Chapman a 0.98 ERA) was a feat in itself. "His ball, it comes out of a different slot, too," said Kratz of Chapman, who consistently throws a fastball harder than 100 miles per hour. "Hes coiled up and he comes at you with the noise and thats why hes had so much success." Adam Lind contributed a pinch hit RBI single. Jose Bautista walked four times. Brett Lawrie, who missed Thursdays game in New York with a bruised hand, returned and had three hits. Lawrie was one of six Blue Jays who registered a multi-hit performance. "Yeah, wed lost three in a row," said Kratz. "Yeah, we had lost three in a row but I dont think anybody was sitting here, like, Uh, are we going to win another game? Just like when we had won nine in a row but nobody ever said we had to win 20 in a row. We tried to win our 10th in a row and I think thats something the team does incredibly well. You saw tonight, grinding ouut each at-bat.ddddddddddddEach at-bat that we grind out is just the way were going to play the game. We cant beat anybody tomorrow but we can beat them today." Manager John Gibbons wasnt aware of the specific details but hes been around long enough to know these types of comebacks are historic. "I may never see another game like that, you may never see another game like that so enjoy it and hope it leads to better things," said Gibbons. The eight-run comeback marked the second largest deficit the Blue Jays have overcome in the franchises 38-year history. Long-time fans, certainly those old enough to remember, will recall June 4, 1989 with fondness. The Jays trailed the Red Sox 10-0 at Fenway Park and rallied for a 13-11 win in 12 innings. VOTTO TALKS ENCARNACION Toronto-born Joey Votto is taking it in from a distance. Hes enjoying the success his former teammate and good buddy, Edwin Encarnacion, is enjoying in Vottos hometown. "Hes a teammate that I really am very fond of and Im very proud of him, how well hes done," said Votto. "There are some guys you tune into and you almost, I dont want to use the word awe but you watch and you think to yourself, what do I have to do to get my swing to that point? That May stretch certainly was like that and he and Bautista are two really fun guys to watch." Encarnacions 23 home runs lead Baltimores Nelson Cruz (22). His 62 RBIs also lead the Majors. So enamored was Votto with Encarnacions 16-home run month of May, he sent Encarnacion a text on the afternoon of May 29. Votto admitted the message was profanity-laced and jokingly disparaging. He called upon Encarnacion to hit two home runs in the Jays game against the Royals that night. Encarnacion did just that. "He didnt answer me back until the second home run in the seventh inning," said Votto. "He responded back that night and I asked for some hitting tips. He was kind of coy about it." Encarnacion and Votto were teammates in Cincinnati from the time Votto broke in to the big leagues, in 2007, until Encarnacion was traded to the Blue Jays in 2009. BAUTISTA AND TWITTER Jose Bautista is amongst the major leaguers most active on social media. He has accounts on Twitter and Instagram (@joeybats19) and maintains Facebook and Youtube pages. "Its part of being an athlete today," said Bautista. "If youre not taking advantage of social media and using it to interact with your fans and giving them a sneak peak into your personal life and how you prepare and what youre about then shame on you." If you give Bautista a Twitter follow, chances are hell follow you back. Bautista is closing in on 514-thousand followers. He follows almost 230-thousand accounts. "Im glad Ive been able to use it in the right way I believe," said Bautista. "Just connecting with the fans and giving them the access that theyve wanted for so long." ' ' '

Recently, the financial press reports the trend that increasing number of firms change their names. Twenty four KOSDAQ firms have changed their names twice in a year and six firms have changed their names up to five times over the period of 2004 to 2011. Corporate name is supposed to serve as a signal to convey information about a firm's major business or product lines. Investors will be better served as long as corporate names can be associated with major businesses or product lines. A name change may well cause intangible assets such as trade mark or goodwill to disappear. Firms have accumulated some goodwill in the form of name recognition and company image. Also there are direct costs involved in changing names like legal fees and printings of new packaging and advertising outlays why do they change their names despite non-trivial cost associated with name changes? The value of a firm would be increased if corporate name change positively conveys the plan of real changes in the firm's business activities, restructuring or reorganization. Otherwise, investors would disorient by the new names.
Facing the rapid increase in corporate name changes, investors are advised to exercise caution when they make investment decisions in the firms which change their names, particularly when they purchase the securities of name change firms to disguise accumulated losses. According to our investigation, there is a big increase in corporate name changes by loss-reporting firms even though it is accompanied by non-trivial costs such as consulting fees and corporate identity costs. Some of firms changing their names are involved in litigations such as fraud or embezzlement. Some of them are administrative issues in the KOSDAQ market.
The KOSDAQ market has some features that can be distinguished from the KSE market. KOSDAQ firms are smaller and younger than KSE firms and the disclosure environment of the KOSDAQ market is inferior to the KSE. As a result, we believe the information asymmetry in the KOSDAQ would be worse than the KSE. Yoon (2005) finds that KOSDAQ firms tend to manage earnings more aggressively than KSE firms. So there is an increasing concern on the reliability and transparency of the financial statements of KOSDAQ firms.
We find that corporate name changes in the KOSDAQ market are more frequent than in the KSE market, particularly there is a big increase in KOSDAQ market. KOSDAQ firms are smaller and younger than KSE firms and they have lower intangible value associated with company names comparing to KSE firms so it would be easier to change their names.
And the announcements of corporate name changes in KOSDAQ have started since 2000 and they have announced reasons of changing definitely since 2007. The KOSDAQ market have enforced that firms changing name frequently should announce the details to prevent investors' confusion whether they had changed corporate name within 2 years since 2007 and it's one part of announcements management consolidation.
The prior literature of corporate name changes is almost about the relationship between corporate name change and stock price but they are scarce and the results in Korea are inconclusive. In this paper, we examine the purpose of the managements who change corporate name, different from the prior study.
This study was motivated by the suspicion that firms who change their names in KOSDAQ market would have intent to use name changing strategically for the change of corporate bad image. We suggest that corporate name change engage in earnings management to upward earnings around the time of their change.

Herbert Collinson Lowkes
November 2, 2011 — Nikellom
Herbert C. Lowkes
Herbert Lowkes is my second cousin, twice removed and he died as a result of an industrial accident. It is interesting to note that Herbert's father (William Henry Loukes) preferred the 'Lowkes' variation of his surname which consequently has been passed on to all subsequent generations. Below are three newspaper articles regarding Herbert and his unpleasant demise (special thanks to Steve Lowkes for these and the photos).
DYE WORKS EXPLOSION NOVEMBER 10, 1928 – TRAGIC AFFAIR AT BROMBOROUGH – YOUNG PORT SUNLIGHT MAN KILLED – TWO OTHERS SERIOUSLY HURT – SMALL FLAME SEEN TOO LATE
Described by those who were in the vicinity as an explosion that seemed to shake the universe, an accident resulting in the death of one man and serious injuries to two others at the works of Bromborough of Messrs. Brotherton and Co., Ltd., the Mersey Chemical Company on Wednesday.
The injured men were:-
John Williams, of 35, Wood-street, Port Sunlight,
Herbert C.. Lowkes, of 32, Rock-lane-West, Rock Ferry, and
Henry Poole, of 2, Bartlett-street, Wavertree, Liverpool.
All received terrible burns about the face and body. Williams dying from his injuries early on Thursday morning, while the other two men are in the Port Sunlight Hospital in a serious condition.
The accident occurred about 11.30 a.m., in a large room where trays of powdered dye are placed in oven-like containers to dry.
Williams was engaged in one section of the room, his duties including the insertion and withdrawal of the trays, of which there are a number in each "oven." Lowkes and Poole were, it is understood, engaged at work on a scaffold above, the latter having just returned after fetching a spanner when the tragedy occurred.
Williams had withdrawn all but three of the trays when he noticed, in the one he had just pulled out, a small flame. He shouted, but it was too late, and a terrific explosion occurred. He was flung back for several yards, while Lowkes was, presumably, hurled from the scaffolding to the ground. Poole was thrown down, but jumped up and ran outside, where he collapsed.
Owing to the confined space the dye mixture exploded with extreme violence, and the "oven," which was made of cast iron a quarter of an inch thick, was smashed to pieces and the back blown out. Pieces of the aluminium trays were also scattered in all directions, wile the windows and skylights of the workroom, which afterwards presented a chaotic scene, were shattered. So great was the force of the explosion that one man standing some distance away had an oilean blown out of his hand.
The "oven," or frame concerned was one of numerous similar ones in the room and measured about six feet by six feet, while the trays, which are arranged in tiers, are about 2ft. 6Ins. By 2ft. As the dye mixture concerned is, we understand, of a non-ignitable nature, an element of mystery surrounds the cause of the occurrence.
Other men in the room immediately ran to the assistance of the victims of the accident, who, it was seen, were very badly injured. The Port Sunlight Ambulance was telephoned for and the men were conveyed with all speed to the hospital.
It was stated at the hospital yesterday, that if anything, Lowkes and Poole showed a slight improvement, but their condition is still very serious.
INQUEST ADJOURNED.
The inquest on Williams was opened at the New Ferry Police Station yesterday by the West Cheshire Coroner (Mr. J. C. Bate), who sat with a jury. Superintendent Ennion represented the police, and Mr. E. Lloyd appeared on behalf of Messrs. Brotherton's.
The Coroner said that Williams was employed at Brotherton's works, at Bromborough, as a process worker. The explosion occurred on Wednesday, and he and the two other men were seriously burnt. Williams was the most badly burnt, and he died as the result of his injuries, while Lowkes and Poole were both in hospital in a serious condition. He only attended to take evidence of identification and adjourn the inquest until Friday next at 10 a.m. It was necessary, he added, in such cases to give notice to the Chief Factories Inspectors at the Home Office, and that had been done.
William Williams, of 35, Wood-street, Port Sunlight, a chemical labourer, employed by Messrs. Lever Bros., Ltd., identified the body as that of his son, who, he said, was twenty three years of age last birthday. Witness saw him in the hospital after the accident and his son was able to speak to him.
The Coroner: Did he make any statement as to what happened?
Witness: Yes.
The Coroner: Perhaps we had not better take this statement now. We will have your evidence at the adjourned inquiry.
ABOUT TO BE MARRIED.
The news of the tragedy and the subsequent death of Mr. Williams caused a painful sensation in the Bromborough and Port Sunlight district. Williams was a popular young man and had many friends in the village. He was formerly a member of the Port Sunlight Boys Brigade, and was a a popular member of the Old Boys' Association. He was of a quiet and unassuming disposition, but extremely well liked by all with whom he came in contact and widespread sympathy is extended to his parents in their tragic bereavement. He was in the employ of Lever Bros. For some years before joining Brotherton's staff two years ago. One of his favourite hobbies was bell ringing and he was a ringer at Christ Church, Port Sunlight, for a period. He was born and educated in Port Sunlight, where his father has been employed for many years.
Poignancy is added to the tragedy by the fact that he was engaged to a young lady on the staff of Lever Bros. Catering department, and preparations were already being made for the wedding, which would probably have taken place about Christmas.
CHEMICAL WORKS EXPLOSION.
PORT SUNLIGHT MAN'S DEATH IN HOSPITAL.
Herbert C. Lowkes, aged thirty-three, of 32, Rock-lane West, Rock Ferry, one of the three men injured in the explosion at Messrs. Brothertons', the Mersey Chemical Works, Bromborough, on November 7th, died in the hospital, Port Sunlight, on Saturday afternoon. He leaves a widow and two children. He is the second victim of the tragedy, the first, John Williams, aged twenty-three, a single man, of Wood-street, Port Sunlight, dying in the hospital on the day of the explosion. The third man, Henry Poole, Bartlett-street, Wavertree, Liverpool, is improving in Port Sunlight hospital.

The Loukes Family
October 21, 2011 — Nikellom
The first mention of the Loukes family is in the proceedings of the Wakefield Court on 19th May 1314 when Mathew son of Thomas was forced to pay 6d for a false claim against Adam son of Jordan and John de Loukes.
My 12th great grandfather was called Robert Loukes who was born and died in Normanton, South Yorkshire/Yorkshire West Riding. His 5th great grandson was called, Edward Loukes. He was born circa 1837 and died in 1811 in Sheffield. He probably moved to Sheffield in the 1750's or 1760's in order to become apprenticed to a Butcher. Many people with the surname, Loukes, can trace their ancestors back to Sheffield, South Yorkshire.
The name, Loukes, does and has varied with regards to how it is spelt. Known deviance's are, Lowkes, Louks, Lankes and Lonkes just to name a few. Lowkes however would seem to be the only legitimate variance – the others simply being spelling errors.
I first came across the name, Loukes, in my Family Tree when I ordered and read the birth certificate for my great grandmother (Frances Emily Brough). It named her mother as Clara Loukes (1854 – 1910).
Loukes in my Family Tree can be found in the geographical locations of Australia, Barnsley, Blackpool, Cawthorne, Finland and Sheffield.
I would like to hear from anybody with connections to the Loukes family. I think the first move should be to try and ascertain which of us share common ancestors. So, could I please request that everybody lists their earliest known ancestor with the name, Loukes, and the geographical location or locations that they were associated with along with any other information which is felt to be relevant.
