United's home ground since 1910, the stadium was bomb-hit during WWII and saw its club share Maine Road with local rivals Man City from 1941 -49, while it was rebuilt. A small sign that inspires you with its past as it welcomes you to its future. Order yours today and display it proudly over your bed or on your door.


In the last couple weeks, we got a lot of eMails and submissions for our conference. We are very happy on how this whole idea comes to life and the general interest in our 2-day conference. As we have a couple of main topics in mind, we are very open to new ideas for the topic of "Communicating the Past in the Digital Age". The Call for Papers is out now for over two months and we saw our call in several mailing lists, Twitter feeds or websites.
Time to take a closer look on why we do this conference and what it is all about: The symposium was funded by the Stifterverband and the Ministry of Culture and Science of North Rhine Westphalia. It is part of a larger project called "Experience of Antiquity with help of an Archaeology of the Senses" where we test new ways and equipment for teaching and learning Archaeology and Archaeoinformatics at the Archaeological Institute. This larger project is part of the funding, which is under the main topic of "Digital Teaching in Academia".
As funding for teaching is often not present, we saw our opportunity to organise a conference that especially focuses not only on new technologies, but on their application in academic teaching. We want to know in which ways VR, AR, 3D Printing, Archaeogaming, Museum communication and other fields within digital archaeology can help to communicate the past (whether in museums, universities or public outreach) in our digital age.
We want to encourage you to participate in any of the given fields. We provide travel expenses, accommodation and some extras during the two days in Cologne. You have one week to send us a 500 word abstract for your presentation. After the conference, your contributions can be published in an open access publication, where we want to collect articles on the same topic. For further information, please have a look at our Call for Papers.


Customer feedback is the lifeblood of our business. Tell us what's on your mind, good or bad. We respond to all customer feedback and look forward to hearing from you! You can also call us or visit us at our office. Please find all contact info on right panel. We try to get back to you as soon as possible.

Having started, and especially after the first year, most of the anxieties, fears and insecurities will have diminished. Sadly, there will always be that lingering nagging feeling that you may have made the wrong decision and there will be no lack of people to "encourage" you along with these doubts and misgivings. By now you have had a chance to question the things you thought were important, some of which you will now see as silly (like creating a school in the home). You may even regret having implemented some of these things, but take heart. It is not so important how you started, but how you Run The Race.
If you are struggling with doubts and fears, you may have to reflect upon the reasons you initially had for home educating and ask yourself what has changed since then. If you find that you have lost your initial vision, perhaps you have been listening to or following the wrong people. If you find that fundamentally nothing has changed, then re-evaluate what has been going well and continue or improve on those things and discard the things that didn't work.
If you started without having sent the children to school, this new, more comfortable phase, will run until the children enter puberty. This season of your home education journey could very well be the most fun you will have as a family. The children are little, they see their parents as perfect (God has temporarily blinded them!), and once past the LTR (learning to read) phase, they are like sponges just soaking up the information from the opportunities you provide. However, one must always keep in mind that younger children are indeed children and must be treated as such and not as adults.
Should you have started home education from a school situation, the outcomes of this phase will depend on just how much time the student spent in school. Generally speaking, it is fair to say that the more time spent in school, the greater the number of "school issues" that may have to be dealt with, and the longer it may take to get things working in this new paradigm of home education. Gradually, both parents and students should find comfort in learning within the environment created by God for the training of children... the home.
Education Unlimited has found that after the first year has been accomplished under their care, parents (and students) have been better equipped to carry on. We call it being on "cruise control".
The most common issue that arises during the Running The Race phase of home education is familiarity. The mother is always with the children and the children start to see her as one of them. Fathers have to be diligent in having the children keep a healthy respect for their mother.
Dad also can become a little complacent since mom is doing such a good job. It is true that if "something isn't broken it is not wise to fix it", but it is also true that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". The overriding principle "is that "if momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy"." Dad should periodically take mom out on a date, giving her a chance to bounce some ideas with you, vent a little and to enjoy some "adult company".
The father has to be involved in the training, teaching and discipling of their children at all times, as this is his responsibility and not the mother's, even though the mother does most of the work involved in the home education. The mother's role is simply to be a helpmeet, that is, to help the father meet his goals for the preparation of his children to be good citizens of this world while serving God in His.
It should also be noted that even though academic study is important, it pales in importance to understanding who God is and how He desires us to conduct our lives. Minister to the children's hearts while challenging their heads.
Education Unlimited has found that if the father is not seriously involved in this part of the training, he is largely disqualified from being taken seriously by the children after puberty.
The pressure to conform to the status quo has never stopped. You have celebrated learning how to address the concerns of loved ones regarding home education; you may have become so weary of the "socialization" question that you have invented a "less than gracious answer" and you have become convinced that you are not ruining your children's lives! Still, the pressure is on and life is not fair or particular as to who gets what problems, only that they are inevitable. Parents can be tempted to quit and they do occasionally "lose their wheels" and trip while Running The Race. It can happen at any time of the year and at any point in the journey, however January and February seem to be the worst times.
This is where things get a little embarrassing from a faith point of view. Remember the statement made at the beginning, the one about "requiring a lot of effort and faith"? If there is no biblical foundation in your life, you are free to do as you please. If you do have a biblical foundation in place, you are still free to do as you please, only in this case, you no doubt started home educating as a conviction. Knowing that God has directed parents to train, teach and disciple their children, with no provision to abdicate that responsibility to "hired, replacement parents" in a very dysfunctional "gigantic age-segregated family", how does one veer from this revelation? Who has changed their mind regarding this matter, God or man? Is God confused? Does He require one thing of us in the beginning and then change His mind and redirect us in complete opposition to His Word? Some parents even state that "God has given them a peace" about quitting home educating.
It is safe to conclude that, in order to avoid having to admit and deal with our struggles and fears, we deflect the issues by justifying our decision and by claiming it is God's will. This is where confusion has set in and it is quite often that parents in this situation have become tired of Running The Race believing that they cannot provide what is best for their children. You are not alone in facing fears and dealing with difficult trials. Education Unlimited's facilitators are familiar with the trials that home educating families face and are willing to walk through them with you. Our facilitators are caring and compassionate individuals and we pray that you feel safe and supported by them.
Education Unlimited's faith, hope and expectation is in a loving God having a plan and purpose for our futures.
Do you think that anyone else can do a better job of training children than loving parents? Is being tired an excuse to quit? If frustrated, is quitting the answer or is fixing the issue causing the frustration the wisest thing to do? If the children are "driving you crazy", is sending them elsewhere a solution? By making that decision, are you not just postponing today's problems until tomorrow, when those problems are likely to become much more serious?
Nothing will change the fact that God is God and that He has directed parents to train, teach and direct their children to Him so He can direct them in their lives.
Everybody experiences a crisis of faith from time to time, and you are no different. If you are in a crisis of faith, remember that it is temporary and in time, will pass.
Even though continuing on may occasionally seem difficult, Paul's letter to the Galatians instructs us to "not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not".
Trials are to be expected in life. Learn and grow from them.
Hang in there, God is not finished with you or your children. He is allowing you to be tested and He would never allow this testing to go beyond what you can endure.
Quitting may be the easiest solution, but it is a temporary one. Sending your children to an institution can turn your children's hearts from God to the world and its views and negatively influence family relationships. Bringing the institution home is no better and not necessary, as there is no need for high school accreditation.
Education Unlimited has experienced, either directly or vicariously, nearly every trial imaginable. None of these are pleasant experiences, but all lead to better people, better situations, or opportunities for greater service.

A Washington state sheriff is facing criminal charges after incident with Black newspaper delivery driver
By Jennifer Henderson, CNN
Updated 1:56 PM ET, Wed October 20, 2021
In February 2020, then-Pierce County sheriff's spokesman Det. Ed Troyer answers questions during a news conference in Tacoma.
(CNN) A Washington state sheriff who allegedly tailed a Black man delivering newspapers falsely accused the man of threatening his life, summoning dozens of officers to the scene to apprehend him, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Pierce County Sheriff Ed Troyer was charged with one count of false reporting and one count of making a false or misleading statement to a public servant in connection with the incident, state Attorney General Bob Ferguson's office said in a Tuesday news release. Ferguson filed the charges in Pierce County District Court.
After the charges were filed, Troyer told CNN in a statement the attorney general told the media about the charges before he informed Troyer or Troyer's attorney and "the night of the incident, I was doing what I have done for decades -- investigate the possibility of criminal activity after neighbors and I had repeatedly become victims of property crime." He said he believes the charges are politically motivated.
Gov. Jay Inslee announced in April he had instructed the attorney general to investigate, calling initial reports of the incident "very concerning."
The charges stem from a January 27 incident during which Troyer encountered Sedrick Altheimer while he was out delivering newspapers, according to a declaration for determination of probable cause filed by Ferguson's office.
In January, Altheimer would usually begin his shift around midnight and finish deliveries around 3 a.m., it added. He told investigators while working early January 27, he noticed "a white SUV appeared to be following him," which police reports and body cam footage later showed was Troyer, according to the declaration.
Altheimer eventually pulled into a driveway to drop a newspaper at a house and decided to approach the SUV to ask why he was being followed, the declaration said. He asked Troyer if he was a police officer and asked if he was following him "because I'm Black?" according to the declaration.
Troyer, who did not identify himself as the sheriff or a law enforcement officer, allegedly told Altheimer his wife was Black and began to question him and accuse him of being a thief, according to the declaration.
Altheimer got back in his car and drove away and after Troyer began following him again, he turned around, stopped his vehicle in the middle of a street facing Troyer's approaching vehicle and began taking pictures of it, the declaration stated.
The attorney general alleges Troyer called the "officer line" of the county's 911 dispatch desk and said he "caught someone in my driveway who just threatened to kill me." The dispatcher handled the call with the highest priority, and more than 40 law enforcement officers began rushing to the scene, according to the declaration.
When the first officers arrived and saw the two cars parked in the middle of the street, they informed the dispatcher they did not need so many units to come. Altheimer informed officers Troyer was following him, the declaration noted.
Troyer told another officer Altheimer never threatened him and he did not see any weapons, and later added he should be let go if he was a newspaper carrier, according to the declaration.
If convicted, Troyer could face up to 364 days in jail and up to a $5,000 fine, the news release said.
"The State of Washington criminal charges against Sheriff Troyer are well deserved," Altheimer's attorney, Susan Mindenbergs, said in a statement to CNN. "It is miraculous that Mr. Altheimer survived the ordeal."
Altheimer filed a claim for damages of at least $5 million against the county in June. Altheimer's attorneys said in the filing the incident caused him "severe emotional distress." Pierce County is not commenting on the pending litigation.
When asked about Troyer's current status, the Pierce County Sheriff's Department provided this statement: "Sheriff Troyer remains the elected Sheriff in full lawful authority and is presumed innocent until proven guilty. The Sheriff has instructed his command staff, and the entire Pierce County Sheriff's Department to continue in its mission and to fulfill their duties without interruption or distraction."

Vans is an American manufacturer of skateboarding shoes and related apparel, established in Anaheim, California, and owned by VF Corporation. The company also sponsors surf, snowboarding, BMX, and motocross teams. From 1996 to 2019, the company was the primary sponsor of the annual Warped Tour music festival.

History
Paul Van Doren; his brother, James; and Gordon C. Lee opened the first Vans store as "The Van Doren Rubber Company" on March 16, 1966, at 704 East Broadway in Anaheim, California. The business manufactured shoes and sold them directly to the public. Upon opening, twelve customers purchased Vans deck shoes (now called "Authentic"), similar to those manufactured by Keds but with a thicker sole. The store had display models of three styles of shoes, priced between US$2.49 and US$4.99, but did not have any inventory ready to sell and Paul Van Doren did not have change to give customers; customers took their shoes home and came back the next day to pay.

The original Vans skateboard logo was designed in Costa Mesa, California, in the 1970s by Mark Van Doren, son of then-President and co-owner James Van Doren, at age 13; Mark's design was a stencil, allowing the logo to be spray-painted onto his skateboards. The design was incorporated into the heel tab on Style 95, an early Vans skateboard shoe. Mark's interest in skateboarding is what led Vans to manufacture skateboarding shoes.

In 1976, Vans began using its "Off The Wall" motto, a slang phrase used by skateboarders while doing tricks in empty pools. Around this time, Vans released its Vans Side-stripe and Vans #36, also known as the "Old Skool" design.

In 1984, facing heavy competition and a market flooded with Vans counterfeits, Vans lowered its prices and eventually filed for bankruptcy protection. In 1988, Van Doren and Lee sold the company to banking firm McCown De Leeuw & Co. for US$74.4 million. In 1989, many Vans counterfeiters were apprehended by the U.S. and Mexican governments and ordered to cease production.

By 1991, the company's shoes were highly desired due to high demand and low supply. The company expanded internationally; released new models, including snowboard shoes; and was renamed Vans, Inc. to reflect its customers calling the shoes "Vans" for short. The same year, Vans went public at US$14 per share on NASDAQ. In 2004, Vans merged with North Carolina-based VF Corporation. In 2016, in celebration of its 50th anniversary, Vans released a new logo and launched a campaign to target a wider audience. In 2022, Vans launched the new VR3 product line where 30% of the product is renewable, recycled or regenerative. VF Corporation will expand the VR3 product collection to more footwear and apparel categories.

Event sponsorship
Since 1999, Vans has sponsored and supported Warped Tour, the longest-running touring music festival to date in North America. In 2001, Warped Tour was rebranded as Vans Warped Tour.

Vans became the title sponsor of the US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, California, in 2014, and in 2010, the company sponsored the Duct Tape Invitational.

In 2022, to commence the US Open of Surfing period, Vans hosted the BMX Waffle Cup, a freestyle BMX invitational tournament. Their Huntington Beach skate park's course was modified by BMX riders for the tournament, and was themed after the US Open.

Public skate parks

Vans opened its first skate park in 1998 at The Outlets at Orange, in Orange, California. It features a  indoor street course,  deep combo pool, area for amateurs, mini ramps, outdoor street course, and arcade. The park was updated in 2009. It has remained closed since March 2020, when BMX rider Tyler Kanarr died after sustaining major injuries in the park.

The company built its second skate park in Huntington Beach, California, which opened to the public in 2010. It includes a  skate bowl and a  skate plaza. The park is , and Vans pays the city US$1 per year for its 20-year lease.

There is a skate park in London, in The Old Vic Tunnels, called House of Vans.

In pop culture
Vans' shoes have often been customized cosmetically by wearers, with many of their painting and drawing patterns being adopted by the company for their official models. Most notably, the checkerboard pattern, popular in ska and punk culture, was adopted after the company noticed skateboarders drawing it on their shoes.

In 1982, Sean Penn wore a pair of Vans checkerboard slip-ons as character Jeff Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

In 2016, the internet meme "Damn Daniel", featuring California teen Daniel Lara wearing Vans, went viral. In appreciation, the company gave Lara a lifetime supply of Vans shoes.

This Seems Quite Relevant Now
Samuel Johnson said, "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel". It seems like this statement is more relevant now than it has been in a while.
Samuel Johnson said, "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel". It seems this statement is more relevant now than it has been in a while.
"Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel" because it is easy for manipulative people to conceal their self-serving or destructive aims by wrapping them in the flag. Toxic patriotism is suspicious and judgemental of the patriotism of others, especially those who are perceived as being outsiders and not belonging to the toxic group. It poses a litmus test for patriotic behavior, such as the current controversy surrounding the NFL players. Those who do not comply are seen as disrespectful and unpatriotic. Taking issue with leaders and protests in general are likewise trivialized and not considered legitimate. Autocrats recognize the power of nationalism and tribalism. They make strong connections between themselves and the symbols of the state. They also sell themselves as the guardians or saviors of the nation, thereby tying their political survival to that of the nation. There has always been a strong "God and country" association in right wing thinking, whether we are talking about the U.S. Republican Party or repressive Islamic states. Religion serves the purpose of keeping the people under control and submissive. They require less policing if transgressions are also sins against their god.
" It poses a litmus test for patriotic behavior, such as the current controversy surrounding the NFL players. " So true @Joann.

Hampstead Police Station is costing more to keep closed than open
Published: 9:00 AM May 15, 2014 Updated: 1:38 PM October 14, 2020
The squatters had offered to protect Hampstead Police Station free of charge before they were evicted. Picture: Polly Hancock - Credit: Archant
Scotland Yard is spending more of taxpayers' money on looking after the axed Hampstead police station than before the building was closed.
The site's high running costs were one of the main justifications for closure 11 months ago.
But police are now shelling out more on security fees to keep out squatters, following the eviction two weeks ago of a group who had taken over the annexe – and offered to look after the former station in Rosslyn Hill free of charge.
The Met spends £2,500 a week on security, while about £1,750 went on maintenance before its closure.
Annually, the burden on the public purse would be £130,000, compared with about £92,000 when it was still operational.
A £5,000 legal bill was also incurred in evicting the squatters.
Jessica Learmond-Criqui, of the Hampstead Shops Campaign, and Cllr Chris Knight, member for Hampstead Town ward, both branded the situation "ridiculous" and called for the station to be reopened until the site is sold.
A Met spokesman insisted the security contract would only be a short-term measure, to keep the building secure until it is sold "within a four to six week period".
He added that the site is "under offer for educational use".

5th runner-up: Goes to a San Anselmo, California man who died when he hit a lift tower at the Mammoth Mountain ski area while riding down the slope on a foam pad. The 22-year old David Hubal was pronounced dead at Central Mammoth Hospital. The accident occurred about 3 a.m., the Mono County Sheriff's Department said. Hubal and his friends apparently had hiked up a ski run called Stump Alley and undid some yellow foam protectors from lift towers, said Lt. Mike Donnelly of the Mammoth Lakes Police Department. The pads are used to protect skiers who might hit towers. The group apparently used the pads to slide down the ski slope and Hubal crashed into a tower. It has since been investigated and determined the tower he hit was the one with its pad removed.
4th Runner-up: Goes to Robert Puelo, 32, was apparently being disorderly in a St. Louis market. When the clerk threatened to call the police, Puelo grabbed a hot dog, shoved it into his mouth and walked out without paying. Police found him unconscious in front of the store. Paramedics removed the six-inch wiener from his throat where it had choked him to death.
3rd Runner-up: Goes to poacher Marino Malerba of Spain, who shot a stag standing above him on an overhanging rock and was killed instantly when it fell on him.
2nd Runner-up: "Man loses face at party". A man at a West Virginia party (probably related to the man in Arkansas who used a .22 bullet to replace the fuse in his pick-up truck) popped a blasting cap into his mouth and bit down, triggering an explosion that blew off his lips, teeth, and tongue.
Jerry Stromyer, 24, of Kincaid, bit the blasting cap as a prank during the party late Tuesday night, said Cpl. M.D. Payne. "Another man had it in an aquarium hooked to a battery and was trying to explode it", said Payne. "It wouldn't go off and this guy said I'll show you how to set it off."
"He put it into his mouth and bit down. It blew all his teeth out and his lips and tongue off", Payne said. Stromyer was listed in guarded condition Wednesday with extensive facial injuries, according to a spokesperson at Charleston Area Medical Division. "I just can't imagine anyone doing something like that" Payne said.
1st Runner-up: Doctors at Portland University Hospital said an Oregon man shot through the skull by a hunting arrow is lucky to be alive and will be released soon from the hospital. Tony Roberts, 25, lost his right eye last weekend during an initiation into a men's rafting club, Mountain Men Anonymous (probably known now as Stupid Mountain Men Anonymous) in Grant's Pass, Oregon.
A friend tried to shoot a beer can off his head, but the arrow entered Robert's right eye. Doctors said that had the arrow gone 1 millimeter to the left, a major blood vessel would have been cut and Roberts would have died instantly. Neurosurgeon Doctor Johnny Delashaw at the University Hospital in Portland said the arrow went through 8 to 10 inches of brain with the tip protruding at the rear of his skull, yet somehow managed to miss all major blood vessels. Delashaw also said that had Roberts tried to pull the arrow out on his own he surely would have killed himself. Roberts admitted afterwards he and his friends had been drinking that afternoon. Said Roberts, "I feel so dumb about this". No charges have been filed, but the Josephine County district attorney's office said the initiation stunt is unde investigation.
Now this year's winners:(The late) John Pernicky and his friend, (the late) Sal Hawkins, of the great state of Washington, decided to attend a local Metallica concert at the George Washington amphitheater. Having no tickets (but having had 18 beers between them), they thought it would be easy to "hop" over the nine foot fence and sneak into the show.
They pulled their pick-up truck over to the fence and the plan was for (the late) Mr. Pernicky, who was 100 pounds heavier than Mr. Hawkins) to hop the fence and then assist his friend over. Unfortunately for (the late) Mr. Pernicky, there was a 30 foot drop on the other side of the fence.
Having heaved himself over, he found himself crashing through a tree. His fall was abruptly halted (and broken, along with his arm, as it were) by a large branch that snagged him by his shorts. Dangling from the tree with a broken arm, he looked down and saw some bushes below him. (Possibly) figuring the bushes would break his fall, he removed his pocket knife and proceeded to cut away his shorts to free himself from the tree.
Finally free, (did I mention that he is THE LATE) Mr. Pernicky crashed into Holly bushes. The sharp leaves Scratched his ENTIRE body, without the protection of his shorts. To make matters worse (?!), on landing, his pocketknife penetrated his thigh 3 inches.
(The late) Mr. Hawkins, on seeing his friend in considerable pain and agony, decided to throw him a rope and pull him to safety by tying the rope to the pick-up truck and slowly driving away. However, in his drunken haste/state, he put the truck into reverse and crashed through the fence landing on his friend and killing him. Police arrived to find the crashed pick-up with its driver thrown 100 feet from the truck and dead at the scene from massive internal injuries.
Upon moving the truck, they found John under it, half-naked, scratches on his body, a knife in his thigh, and his shorts dangling from a tree branch 25 feet in the air.

Spring Facials and Peels - Doctor Hermann M.D.,P.A.
All facials will cleanse your skin and pores, hydrate your skin, and give you a fresher look. The Vitamin C facial is particularly good for adding tone and lift to your face. There is also an accent facial, which contours and tightens without surgical measures.
Spring is also a great time to get a chemical peel. Peels are designed to eliminate the uppermost layers of the skin so new skin can grow. They can be very revitalizing to your skin. A chemical peel can also lighten skin blemishes or redness. Chemical peels will also help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. These peels are done in one treatment, and new skin grows to replace the old, usually within four to seven days.
If you are interested in a spring facial or peel, contact our offices today for an appointment. Pamper yourself this spring and treat your skin to a facial or peel today.

UK security researcher describes how he stopped global cyber-attack by spending £8 on a domain name
by Will Peakin/ May 13, 2017/ Health, News, Society/ No Comments/
A cyber security researcher has described how he halted the spread of ransomware that has affected hundreds of organisations worldwide, including the UK's national health service. The man, known by the pseudonym MalwareTech, had taken a week off work, but decided to investigate after hearing about the global cyber-attack. He managed to bring the spread to a halt when he found what appeared to be a "kill switch" in the rogue software's code.
Despite not being at work, the researcher had checked into a UK cyber threat sharing platform "where I had been following the spread of the Emotet banking malware. There were a few of your usual posts about various organisations being hit with ransomware, but nothing significant…yet. I ended up going out to lunch with a friend. Meanwhile the WannaCrypt ransomware campaign had entered full swing. When I returned home at about 2:30, the threat sharing platform was flooded with posts about various NHS systems all across the country being hit.
"Although ransomware on a public sector system isn't even newsworthy, systems being hit simultaneously across the country is; contrary to popular belief, most NHS employees don't open phishing emails which suggested that something to be this widespread it would have to be propagated using another method. I was quickly able to get a sample of the malware [and after] running the sample in my analysis environment I instantly noticed it queried an unregistered domain, which I promptly registered."
It cost him £8 and his thinking was that it would allow him to see where computers were accessing it from, and give him an idea of how widespread the ransomware was. But by doing so he interrupted part of the ransomware's code that told it to continue spreading as long as the web address did not exist, something known as a "kill switch" which in some cases is used to halt the spread of software.
"Registration of the domain was not on a whim. My job is to look for ways we can track and potentially stop botnets, and other kinds of malware, so I'm always on the lookout to pick up unregistered malware control server (C2) domains. In fact I registered several thousand of such domains in the past year. Our standard model goes something like this.
Look for unregistered or expired C2 domains belonging to active botnets and point it to our sinkhole (a sinkhole is a server designed to capture malicious traffic and prevent control of infected computers by the criminals who infected them).
Gather data on the geographical distribution and scale of the infections, including IP addresses, which can be used to notify victims that they're infected and assist law enforcement.
Reverse engineer the malware and see if there are any vulnerabilities in the code which would allow us to take-over the malware/botnet and prevent the spread or malicious use, via the domain we registered.
"In the case of WannaCrypt, step 1, 2 and 3 were all one and the same, I just didn't know it yet." It took more investigation and collaboration with fellow security researchers to establish that the ransomware had been halted. But in a blog post he added: "One thing that is very important to note is our sinkholing only stops this sample and there is nothing stopping them removing the domain check and trying again, so it's incredibly importiant that any unpatched systems are patched as quickly as possible."
This afternoon, the Scottish Government issued an update on the impact on Scotland, saying that 13 of its 14 health boards had been affected but "measures to isolate any issues are now in place, with some systems expected to be operational over the weekend". The boards affected are: NHS Borders, NHS Dumfries and Galloway, NHS Fife, NHS Forth Valley, NHS Lanarkshire, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, NHS Tayside, NHS Western Isles, NHS Highlands, NHS Grampian, NHS Ayrshire and Arran, NHS National Services and Scottish Ambulance Service.
It said that in many areas, with the exception of NHS Lanarkshire, the number of PCs or systems affected is in "single figures". In a statement it added: "There is no evidence that patient data has been compromised and patient services, including emergency service, are continuing to operate across Scotland. Other public bodies are currently running checks on their systems as a precaution ahead of the working week starting on Monday."

This "Arctic Blast" storm Oregon is experiencing makes the kids hungry. They are spending their days outside playing in our 15 inches of snow and then coming in every hour or so for hot cocoa and snacks.
Like most kids, when they come in the first thing they ask for are cookies or candy… we have quite a few treats around right now because it's Holiday time. I don't have a problem with the kids having some treats, as I believe that healthy eating revolves around making wise choices and learning to eat in moderation. That said, I don't want them to fill up on sugar.
We've been enjoying lots of organic oranges, sliced organic fuji apples w/ peanut butter, organic bananas and organic baby carrots dipped in Organicville dairy free ranch dressing. In between the healthy snacks, we've had some gluten free/dairy free sugar cookies shaped like little snowmen, homemade hot cocoa and oatmeal no bake cookies.
For the sugar cookie recipe, visit Karen over at Only Sometimes Clever. I cut her recipe in half and it still makes 4-5 dozen cookies. This recipe is full of healthy flours like amaranth, sweet rice and brown rice in addition to starch. This recipe does call for eggs, but works quite well when replaced with flax gel, applesauce or Ener-G egg replacer. We use enjoy life chocolate chips, grated Endangered Species Dark Chocolate Bars, Crushed Organic Candy Canes and India Tree Natures Color Sprinkles to decorate. This batch is all light blue sprinkled snowmen.
Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Once warm, add sugar or agave & cocoa. Mix well, continue to mix while heating. Do not boil. When desired temperature is reached (I check by sticking my pinky in, but choose your own method to prevent burns), add the vanilla, remove from heat and serve. We enjoy this topped with my agave marshmallows.
Everyone's had a no bake, right? They are fabulous… to make these Gluten Free, we simply use Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Oats (you can also replace the oats with Quinoa flakes).
I usually double this batch… but we really like our no bake cookies. This is a slightly modified recipe of the one that has been in our handwritten cook books for generations (and probably in every cookbook on the planet).
Place a large pan over medium heat, melt butter w/ sugar and coconut milk. Add cocoa and mix well, increase heat to medium/high and bring mixture to a boil for exactly one minute (this is important for cookies to set). Now add the peanut butter & vanilla, mix well. Continue to boil for about a minute, add oats or quinoa flakes, remove from heat and mix well. Allow to rest in pan for a couple minutes and then drop by spoonful (we make them on the smaller side so the kids don't over do it!) onto parchment paper (if you have reusable pastry sheets, they work great as well!). Allow to sit until firm (should be ready to eat within 30 minutes).
We've also been enjoying pumpkin and zucchini bread from the puree and shreds in our freezer, fresh baked whole grain breads, dried fruit and brownies with veggie puree hidden inside. But those are recipes for another day.

2) A comprehensive guide to oil painting, including many techniques, styles and subjects.
3) Step-by-step photographs and clear instructions show literally every step to creating beautiful paintings, making oil painting accessible for beginners as well as more experienced painters.
About Noel Gregory
Noel Gregory began his career studying at High Wycombe College of Art and Bournemouth Teacher Training College, and for twenty-five years he owned an art gallery in Buckinghamshire, UK dealing with Victorian pictures and ultimately his own work. Specialising in oil painting, Noel became a successful and highly respected artist in his own right, working from his studio in Spain where he lived, and selling his work internationally. Noel wrote many books, published by Search Press, introducing artists of all abilities to the joys of oil painting. He sadly died in late 2017, but his wonderful sense of humour and joie de vivre will remain long in the memories of all who knew him.
About James Horton
James Horton is an experienced artist with a particular love of working from life. He has written numerous practical art books, including Learn to Draw the Figure, Pastel Techniques and Skin Tones. He teaches art in colleges around the UK, and has exhibited his work widely, including mixed exhibitions at the National Portrait Gallery, the Royal Academy and Royal Portrait Society. James works a great deal in India and since 2000 has been taking art groups to other locations including Tuscany, Venice, North Africa and Jordan. James lives in Cambridge, UK.
Im pretty sure that this is a bind-up of eight short guides that have been previously published I certainly recognise Roy Langs Sea & Sky in Oils, but publishers are getting a lot better at the stitching-together trick these days and its really quite hard to see the joins here. At a mere £12.99, though, its hardly worth quibbling in the face of the huge variety of material you get.
Because everything runs together so neatly, its best to look as this as a compendium of single-subject demonstrations, albeit a themed one. Turning the pages more or less at random reveals all sorts of useful information on subjects such as on skies, light, reflections, choosing a subject, underpainting and glazing, as well as a good selection of demonstration paintings on subjects including flowers, landscapes and water.
The individual volumes were definitely something to work through, but I rather favour serendipity here. Just let the book fall open and read from there; its full of wisdom and good advice.

Home/Politics/The EC is ready for Monday
The EC is ready for Monday
Dr Asare Bossman has reported that a total of 233,000 persons had been recruited and taken through training as election officials to conduct and supervise the elections across the country.
Dr Asare said a maximum of 749 list of registered voters would be made available at each polling centre in all the 16 regions to enable the electorate to vote with ease, adding that by so doing, the Commission did not expect long queues at the centres.
The Deputy Commissioner said all basic equipment that would aid the adherence to COVID-19 protocols would be provided by the EC at all polling stations, and those special COVID-19 ambassadors would be on hand to assist voters and urged voters to go to the polls in their face masks and also adhere to the protocols.
He said all security personnel and others, whose names were on the special voting list, but failed to vote in the early voting exercise would not be allowed to vote on Monday.
"For those who also applied to vote in the special voting but for some reason, their names were not captured in the special voters' list, your names are at the polling station, so on Monday go and exercise your right to vote," he said.
He said the Commission has made special provisions for persons with disabilities, the elderly, and pregnant women, so they do not have to join queues to vote.

Shockwave therapy: This treatment method employs energy pulses for inducing micro trauma to the ligaments and tissues spread around the heel spur. In an Extracorporeal Shockwave Treatment (ESWT), the therapist applies curative shockwaves over the affected part of the heel that instantly stimulates a healing response within the inflamed ligaments and tissues, easing the acute heel pain. It needs around 3 to 4 months for this procedure to be fully effective. ESWT is mostly suggested to patients who have tried and tested the other treatments of heel spur but have failed to achieve any results.
Cortisone steroid injections: Cortisone is a strong and effective anti-inflammatory injection which is directly injected into the heels and works almost instantly. Since, the effect of the injection lasts for only a month and it is unable to address the biochemical cause of the inflammation, patients might have to come back for more applications.
Rest: Medical experts around the world suggest heel spur patients to take ample amount of rest and keep themselves from strenuous activities that aggravate the conditions. Take some day off from physical activities like running or jogging if you are having heel ailment and give your painful heels some rest. Only rest can alleviate the most intense pain and let the inflammation heel and settle down.
Stretches and exercises: There are some stretches and exercises that are designed to slacken the ligaments and tissues around the heel bone. Perform these exercises twice daily to get fast relaxation.
Apply ice packs to relieve heel pain: Ice bags can be applied on the affected part of the heel to reduce the piercing pain. This method is beneficial when heel spur symptoms surface.
Night splints: These are worn at night and keep the heel stretched out while preventing the planter fascia from contracting and stiffening. Wearing a night splint can reduce the stabbing morning heel pain.
Anti-inflammatory: For lessening the sharp heel pain and the inflammation of the plantar fascia, anti-inflammatory medicines can be used. Although, prescribed medicines are safer to use, over-the-counter medicines are also helpful.
Orthotics: These are corrective foot devices and are highly beneficial in treating heel spurs effectively. These are different from gel heel cups or rubber foot beds that may provide a cushioning to your feet and heels but are unable to address the actual cause of heel spur. On the contrary, gel heel cups or rubber foot beds can make walking really uncomfortable and disrupt our natural gait. Orthotic insoles on the other hand provide support to the foot arches, re-aligning the lower legs and the ankle. Orthotic insoles work well in treating heel spurs in that they support the arches, thereby reducing the tension on the plantar fascia and thus giving the soft tissue a chance to heal.
How to prevent heel spur pain once you have gone through successful treatment?
Opt for properly fitted footwear if you want to prevent the recurrence of calcaneus or heel spur. Faulty footwear can cause havoc to your heels harming the affected area all over again.
To relieve pressure over the tender part of the ligament plantar fascia, patients can also use shoe inserts.
Stretching and exercises should be continued to prevent the symptoms from coming back. Light movements will help in making your foot flexible while preventing any possible inflammation of the plantar fascia.

Activision says 'Destiny' will be the best-selling original video game ever
By Rich McCormick

Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick expects Destiny, the new game from Halo creators Bungie, to become the "best-selling new video game IP in history." Speaking during Activision's fourth quarter earnings call yesterday, Kotick said the first-person shooter, due out on Xbox and PlayStation consoles on September 9th, has "the potential to be [Activision's] next billion-dollar franchise."
Those record sales will be helped along by a strong start for Microsoft and Sony's new consoles. Activision Publishing CEO, Eric Hirshberg, said during the earnings call that although the publisher expected the launch of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 to generate "headwinds" in the video game market, sales of games on the new machines were "higher than expected." But, as with competitor EA, Activision Blizzard has suffered a greater-than-expected dip in sales of "current-gen" software.
'Destiny' has the potential to be Activision's "next billion dollar franchise"
Hirshberg also announced that game in the Call of Duty franchise would be given three year development periods, rather than the two years they were given before. To cover the gap and ensure at least one new Call of Duty game is released every year, Sledgehammer Games will join Treyarch and Infinity Ward in making alternating games in the shooter series. Sledgehammer is currently at work on the upcoming entry in the series, due out later this year, having previously worked with Infinity Ward on 2011's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
The publisher is also planning to push the Call of Duty brand in China. Kotick gave an overview of a partnership with Chinese giant Tencent that will soon bring a free-to-play CoD — Call of Duty Online — to the country. In the west, both Destiny and Sledgehammer's new Call of Duty will launch in 2014. Dennis Durkin, Activision Blizzard's chief financial officer, also mentioned a third "major game release" to come from World of Warcraft and StarCraft creators Blizzard. Details of exactly what that game might be are yet to be revealed.

HTC One M8 Eye Arrives in Malaysia, Android Marshmallow Update for One M8 Gets Certified By Bluetooth SIG, And More
HTC is quite busy with both hardware and software during this fall with the Android 6.0 update race already going strong. Till now, the only HTC device that has been guaranteed to receive the Marshmallow update is the Nexus 9, the updates of which aren't controlled by HTC.
Meanwhile, HTC One A9 has released with the Marshmallow OS and it has been promised that One M9 will be receiving the update soon enough.
With all these talk of updates, last-year users of One M8 are presently feeling left out. However, according to Bluetooth's approval, the update should be coming soon for HTC One M8 devices. A Bluetooth certification is not really much of a confirmation but this means that the update is coming faster than ever.
The update was submitted on 22nd of September and certification was achieved on 28th of October. Earlier, it was confirmed by HTC that they will be releasing the latest version of Android for all the One-branded handsets along with a few in the Desire line as well.
However, the good news remains that the update was recently confirmed by Bluetooth SIG, which actually means that Wi-Fi Alliance needs to certify it.
Marshmallow will come with certain updated features that are sure to help out the aging HTC One M8 and as a result, people are really looking forward to it. Ever since its release, people have been pretty worried about the battery life in HTC One M8.
With the Doze capabilities of Marshmallow, the device can go into deep sleep mode in order to save battery power. Meanwhile, another aspect of Marshmallow is that many users have been waiting for the granular permission system.
With this feature, users will not have to grant all the permissions of an app during install. Instead, your device will ask you to allow use of a specific part of your device with the features of the app that demand it. The growth of Marshmallow updates will increase considerably in the coming months.
Meanwhile, the HTC One M8 Eye is a new midrange device from HTC and the new specifications are quite interesting with the primary focus being the camera. The 13MP Duo camera in the HTC One M8 Eye comes with LED Flash and Depth sensor with a front-facing camera sporting 5MP wide-angle lens.
Under the hood, it runs a Snapdragon 801 2.3GHz quad-core CPU with HTC Sense 6 UI 4G and Android 5.0 Lollipop. The intelligent LED Dual Flash has the intelligent ability of automatically selecting exact color tones and light intensity needed for more professional shots.
The device further features voice-activated selfies, image beautifying features, and 1080p video recording. The device has finally arrived in Malaysia with a price tag of RM1399.
In the meantime, Android Marshmallow 6.0 has already been rolled out for most Nexus devices and furthermore, the new operating system will be released to other Android smartphones in the near future. The One M8 Google Play Edition will most likely receive the software update within October.
After the launch of Android Marshmallow 6.0, HTC released a list of smartphones that would receive the new update. They are the HTC One M9, HTC One M8, HTC One M9+ and HTC One E9+.Sadly, the company did not confirm as to when these devices will be receiving the update.
However, it was confirmed that HTC One M8 and M9 will be receiving the update by the end of this year. The VP of Product Management at HTC, Mo Versi, recently tweeted that according to plans, the company will roll out Android 6.0 Marshmallow to the HTC One M8 GPE by the end of this month.

The division of Nokia terminals (among others) fell into the hands of Microsoft, but not the exclusive use of the mark as well. The Finns have left Lumia smartphones in the hands of the Redmond, but have returned to the market with a tablet, Nokia N1, and many have (or we) dreamed and speculated with the possibility of a future return to the market of smartphones.
The limitation that prevents the use of the mark Nokia for smartphones ends December 31 of this year, so the legendary brand may return with new devices with your name in 2016. That possibility has given rise to a multitude of rumors, which gambled even with Android smartphones with its name, but Since Nokia have just settle the matter.
"Nokia reaffirms that currently has no plans to manufacture or sell phones for consumers". So it is clear the holder of a note of just three lines in which Finns make it very clear. It Nokia makes reference to the latest news, claiming that they would be planning the manufacture of new smartphone in China, adding that the statements attributed to Nokia Networks staff are completely false.
The latest rumors, since have been many who have come since the company passed into the hands of Microsoft, pointed to that Nokia would already be at work. Its strategy would design a few smartphones that would be built in China. In addition, other sources claimed that on this occasion it marks the Nordic I would have chosen Android as an operating system for its return.
But we will not see, at least for the time being, another brand that designs but left others to manufacture, nor an abandonment of Windows Phone Android, with the polvadera that this would raise. At the moment, because you never know, the nostalgic who wanted the return of a brand that did everything, will have to resign themselves. Nokia does not return.

Europe. Renegotiated terms or out.
This entry was posted on 02/06/2014, in Uncategorized. Bookmark the permalink.	1 Comment
The real issue is not how often the Prime Minister promises a referendum or even whether he pledges to bring it forward to 2016. The real issue for David Cameron is to make it clear that he is prepared to campaign for an 'out' vote in the event of a failed renegotiation.
For a negotiation to have teeth, there must be a realistic prospect that Britain could vote to leave the EU. We must thank UKIP and our friends who have supported them, in recent elections, for bringing this matter to a head.
The recent elections have strengthened the Prime Minister's hand.
The Treaty of Rome's central drive for 'ever closer union' is having the opposite effect across the continent. It is leading to the rise of nationalism and increasing rejection of a United States of Europe.
The aim of protecting us from conflict, by enforcing a one size fits all approach, has perversely increased the risk of extremism. Many now feel that the out of touch European elite are forcing people in a direction they do not want to travel.
Clearly, we need an opt-out from ever closer union as a starting point. The presumption that closer integration is good must be overturned. Powers must be devolved back to Nation States, where ever possible.
The EU's greatest benefit to its members has always been as a free-trading block and it should return to that core value.
That will require tough negotiations from a position of strength. Services should be included in this free trade agreement not just goods. For too long this has been resisted by those with protectionist instincts.
The over-regulation of European businesses must be halted and indeed reversed. The EU must stop trying to interfere with so many aspects of our lives and embrace the principle of subsidiarity.
The European Working Time Directive which has hamstrung the training of junior doctors and disrupted continuity of care across the NHS has been particularly damaging.
The EU as 'too big and too bossy' and our Prime Minister has said so.
The EU is wasteful. At a time when people across Europe have been struggling with austerity it is completely unacceptable for this institution to continue the so-called Strasbourg Circus and lavish salaries and benefits for its own employees.
The EU has yet to have its accounts signed off for years and has policies that are failing yet it seems preoccupied with expanding its own power base.
It has lost its democratic legitimacy. How many people have contacted an MEP, even over issues about which they feel is important and entirely regulated by the EU? How many can name more than a couple of their regional MEPs.
EU commissioners have no democratic accountability whatsoever. The prospect of an arch federalist, Jean-Claude Juncker, being appointed as president of the Commission would make it even harder to see a reversal of the one way street to federalism and David Cameron is right to be opposing his appointment so vigorously.
Britain does benefit from immigration but it is the scale and pace of change which has placed such an intolerable strain on infrastructure such as our housing supply, schools and health service.
We are a small island that is rapidly filling up. From historic norms of 50m people we are fast approaching 70m and it's starting to feel crowded.
Free movement of people should not extend to benefits, although in my experience current migrants tend to be hard working. David Cameron must demand a complete end to payments of child benefit to dependents living abroad and extend to at least two years the requirement to have lived or worked in the UK before eligibility for any benefits in order to reduce the flow of net migration.
There may be times when we benefit from the powers of a European Arrest Warrant. However, there is great and understandable anger at the way it may be used against our own citizens who may be compulsorily detained with poor supporting evidence and in unsatisfactory conditions. We should first protect our own citizens from arbitrary justice.
There are without doubt economic benefits from remaining within the EU. Free market needs to be extended and strengthened. But free trade does not have to mean political union.
We need to back David Cameron in his renegotiation. Far from Britain being isolated there are other nations which now see the need for reform.
I would prefer Britain to remain in the EU but not at any price or on the current terms. If these cannot be renegotiated, I will be campaigning to leave.
One thought on "Europe. Renegotiated terms or out."
essuman says:
In the 1990s it was decided that child benefit is paid where parents are on a payroll / pay PAYE or receive unemployment benefits (if I remember right the UK agreed to this change). As a consequence, for example people from the Alsace working across the border in e.g. Baden-Württemberg get their child benefit paid in Germany where they work (and child benefit is lower) and not in France, where they and their family live. You could of course tie child benefit to where the children live, though that would make it difficult to cap child benefit based on earnings. Whichever change in calculating child benefit you adopt will produce winners and losers. But the rules need to be fair and universal. What we can't have is individual EU members violating these universal rules at their convenience, at the UK is all to often trying.

December 16, 2020 7:00 AM PR Newswire
CALGARY, AB – Following a 33-year career with Shell, Shell Canada President and Country Chair Michael Crothers has announced he will retire from the company in 2021. Crothers will be succeeded by Susannah Pierce, currently Director of Corporate Affairs, LNG Canada, and a Shell secondee. Both will remain in their current roles until the transition takes place.
"I am grateful to have had a long and rewarding career with a company that aligns with my values, working alongside exceptional people who deliver extraordinary results," said Michael Crothers, Shell Canada President and Country Chair. "We have set Shell Canada on a course for a lower-carbon future and when I pass the baton to Susannah and an excellent team, I have every confidence they will continue to lead Shell Canada into that energy future to provide cleaner energy for Canadians and the world."
"I'm looking forward to taking on this new challenge with Shell Canada, and am confident that together, we will build on Michael's positive legacy as we move towards a more sustainable energy future, leveraging the talents of a diverse, equitable and inclusive organization while building relationships with Indigenous Peoples and local communities," said Susannah Pierce, incoming Shell Canada President and Country Chair. "I'm extremely proud of what LNG Canada has already accomplished, and of the relationships and partnerships we've built in developing an LNG industry that aspires to have the highest standards for environmental, social and corporate governance. Rest assured that I will continue to foster those relationships in my new role while building relationships in other parts of the Shell portfolio in Canada."
Susannah Pierce has held senior positions in the energy and technology sectors in Canada, the United States and Europe, most recently as Director of Corporate Affairs for LNG Canada. She joined LNG Canada in 2013 as a Shell secondee and has been responsible for the project's federal and provincial regulatory approvals, Indigenous relations and negotiations, government relations, media relations, community consultation and communications. Under her leadership, the project achieved federal and provincial environmental approvals on schedule and received unprecedented support from First Nations, communities and governments. This support underpinned LNG Canada's Final Investment Decision in October 2018, making it the largest private sector investment in Canadian history.
Prior to joining LNG Canada, Susannah served as Vice President, Value Chain Integration, Shell Canada.
In this capacity, she was responsible for identifying new business opportunities across Shell's multiple businesses in Canada. Prior to this position, Susannah was Vice President, Communications, Upstream International based in The Hague, where she oversaw a diverse communications and government relations team consisting of approximately 200 professionals in Asia, Australia, the Middle East, Africa, Russia/CIS and Europe.
Susannah was previously Head, Government Relations for Shell Canada, where she established the government relations practice to support Shell Canada's upstream, downstream, and manufacturing businesses.
Prior to joining Shell in 2009, Susannah was Director, Government Affairs for TransCanada Pipelines based in Washington, D.C. and New York City, where she was responsible for driving government policy at federal and state levels in support of TransCanada's existing power and pipeline interests, as well as new business development activities.
Susannah was named one of Vancouver magazine's Power 50 in 2019 and on B.C. Business's 2015 Most Influential Women in Business list. She was also recognized as a 2019 Most Influential Woman in Business by Business in Vancouver magazine.
Susannah is a graduate of the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) and The George Washington University, and speaks English, Spanish and French. She lives in Vancouver with her two children, Robert and Gabriela.

Akshay Kumar to produce NAMASTEY ENGLAND, sequel to NAMASTEY LONDON
Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge ; Todenge dum magar tera saath na chhodeng
Akin to the super hit song from Amitabh Bachchan starrer SHOLAY, film actor Akshay Kumar and filmmaker Vipul Shah, share a warm friendship.
A picture of this was seen recently when Akshay Kumar, like a loyal friend showed confidence in the abilities of his friend Vipul Shah and has invited him to direct his home production NAMASTEY ENGLAND, a sequel to his previous hit NAMASTEY LONDON.
According to reports NAMASTEY ENGLAND, though termed a sequel, does not have the extension to NAMASTEY LONDON, instead it is fresh love story which is inspired from a 'Real Life' story.
It may be noted that after the super duper debacle of Vipula Shah's last movie ACTION REPLAYY (2010), he has been into oblivion for over five years as no filmmaker was daring to hire him due to ACTION REPLAYY's fate.
However, Akshay Kumar, much against the wishes of his near and dear ones, has decided to give his friend Vipul Shah a new lease of life. To be on a safer side Akshay Kumar has decided to make a sequel to NAMASTEY LONDON so that Vipul Shah is able to win his confidence back with another hit film.
It may be noted that Vipul Shah is the same filmmaker who dared to change the action image of Akshya Kumar and exploited the hidden talent of Akshay Kumar in movies like AANKHEN and WAQT: THE RACE AGAINST TIME both opposite Amitabh Bachchan
In NAMASTEY LONDON, too, Vipul Shah gave Akshay a different role of a sober lover.
In nut shell all the roles were against Akshay's action hero image yet all proved hit and made Akshay Kumar a superstar.
At 72 Amitabh Bachchan in Love! It's Love at First Sight!!
Readers would be surprised to know that at the ripe age of 72 Amiatbh Bachchan is LOVE!! And what's more Amitabh Bachchan claims, "When I saw her I simple fell in love with her! It was literally… Love at First Sight!!"
Any guesses who the lucky girl is?
Well do not go horny and make wild guess because the girl in question is a cute little baby called Anna, the fortunate toddler, who at such a tender age has got the opportunity to share screen with none but the star of millennium Amitabh Bachchan.
Bachchan in his blog shared the cute pictures of Anna and candidly confessed, "Overwhelmed by my cuddled beauty ... and she is simply the mostest … !! There was love at first sight! Hahahaha!!! "
In fact Bachchan was left so stunned by the adorable Anna that he even agreed to some really funny scenes for the advertisement like wearing a baby hair band and even sitting on the pram like a baby!
An insider at the shooting informed, "Bachchan sahab love children very much hence when he saw the cute Anna he cuddled her in his arms and played a lot. When she began crying he pacified her and played a lot with her as if she was his granddaughter Aaradhya."
Amitabh Bachchan is truly enjoying the best time of his career. Interestingly in PIKU Amitabh Bachchan portrayed an aged man sharing a love bound with her daughter Deepiak Padukone and now he is playing grandfather to little Anna!

At 72 Amitabh Bachchan in Love! It's Love at First...


As promised, here's a follow-up to last week's Johnny Cash post, involving a little extra journalist homework. I sent email queries to both Jim Derogatis and Greg Kot and so far I've only heard back from Kot. He quickly responded and kindly explained via email that he spoke with Cash circa 1996-97 and also had this to say about that interview with Cash about the Folsom recording.
I'm not about to argue with Kot, Cash or Streissguth but nonetheless, this is quite confusing from a journalistic perspective; but worse, as a fan, it makes you wonder what actually happened, and what the scene was really like when one of the best live albums of all time was recorded and produced, or what actually happens when any live recording is made.
