Aguilera's sons Jaden and Jordan will officially start the game with "It's Time for Dodger baseball!"
Aguilera is one of 30 winners, one per MLB Club, who will take part in pregame activities, be honored during an on-field ceremony, and will receive pink MLB merchandise and two tickets to the game. Nominated by her parents, Sara, wife of John and mother of two boys, Jaden, 7 and Jordan, 5, found a lump in her right breast on April 30, 2012. She had a biopsy May 4, received the diagnosis of Stage 2 Colloid Carcinoma on May 8, and underwent a double mastectomy on June 8. She began her five-year-course of tamoxifen in July 2012. Sara's first reconstructive surgery was October 17 and she requires two surgeries in the near future. Less than one year since discovering her lump, Sara has founded "Feel Yourself Up": A Breast Cancer Awareness Organization Promoting Self-Examination. Through this organization, she plans to raise awareness about the importance of early detection through self-examination, and to raise money for those needing help with expenses of day-to-day life while fighting breast cancer.
The 30 Honorary Bat Girl winners were selected by fan votes on HonoraryBatGirl.com along with feedback from a Guest Judging Panel that included Dodger center fielder Matt Kemp, CC Sabathia of the New York Yankees, Andrew McCutchen of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Alex Gordon of the Kansas City Royals, Maria Menounos of Extra TV and Sam Ryan, MLB Network host and reporter.

Louisville Slugger and MLB first introduced the pink bat program on Mother's Day in 2006. Fans can obtain their own personalized pink bat by going to going to shop.mlb.com or sluggergifts.com.

Additionally, both players and on-field personnel will wear pink wristbands as well as symbolic pink ribbons on their uniforms. Commemorative base jewels and dugout lineup cards will also be pink.
The Honorary Bat Girl program was introduced in 2009 to raise additional awareness and support for the annual "Going to Bat Against Breast Cancer" initiative celebrated on Mother's Day. In four years, over 4,000 testimonials have been submitted and more than 10 million fan votes have been cast. Going to Bat Against Breast Cancer is a Major League Baseball initiative supported by its charitable partners Stand Up to Cancer, a charitable program of the Entertainment Industry Foundation, and Susan G. Komen for the Cure. This initiative has set out to raise awareness about the breast cancer cause and funds to support life-saving breast cancer research.
Grammy award winning singer Melissa Manchester will perform the national anthem and "God Bless America." Mothers selected from fans in attendance Sunday will take the field.

Worse gym in south mumbai This is worst gym in south mumbai. Owner Prabodh davkhare and the management think they own the members and everyone who walks In the gym. Saw an argument with a lady at the reception. Several complaints and cases are registered on the owners name who by the way is ministers son (black Money) influential dumb idiot. He doesn't know how to treat anyone correctly. Visited gym recently and had a trial session but they floor trainers refused to help and they say the management supports personal training. Music is so loud it could make everyone deaf and give them migraine. Worst possible gym. Equipment's are not maintained. Search online about this self claimed India's Best gym. The certificates are all bogus and brought by money and influence as you can tell by the owners status. Several members have complained about this gym. Any one planning to join this gym if you are a girl then they give you special rates just like a night clubs and if you are a male then you pay premium. Bit unfair isn't it Prabodh? Would suggest everyone not take up this gyms membership. It's like a dungeon which is illegally made.
Gym for d classes not masses The best best best gym ever!! Nutin comparable in india . Its a gym for d classes and not the masses. Many people cant afford it and hence may malign the name. I think its not jus a gym its an experience. See for urself!! Quality of trainers a++ and staff supremely polite and knowledgeable. The personal trainers r d best!!
It's a beautiful but worthless gym I joined gym In December and after four months, I changed my review. It's my experience with nitrro. It's a glossy and beautiful gym but the management is poor and rotten. The General trainers are very few hardy two -three, infact in Morning only 2 trainers are there. Gym opens at 6 AM but no trainers till 6.30 AM. The personal trainers have good amount of belly fat and seems unfit. The gym just want to fetch your money because they want you to join PT. Inflated cost of PT with poor quality of Trainers (they may have degree but unfit themselves) is a hindrance to join PT. The AC of gym generally not working in a particular area so feeling suffocating is very common experience. The little lightning arrangement in gym is like a bar, the focus light falls on your face during weight lift on bench. Beautiful but poorly planned gym. Think five times to join it.

Latest case law development on prenuptial agreements
WW v HW [2015] EWHC 1844 (Fam), the High Court gives significant weight to a prenuptial agreement even though it did not provide for the husband's needs. The court took into account the husband's financial conduct.
The approach of the Family Court to prenuptial agreements has changed significantly since the first reported case involving a prenuptial agreement of F v F (Ancillary Relief: Substantial Assets) [1995] 2 F.L.R. 45 in which Thorpe J. gave no weight to the parties' agreement, stating that "in this jurisdiction they must be of very limited significance."
In the years that followed the decision in F v F there was inconsistency and confusion over the courts' approach to prenuptial agreements which alternated between support for greater recognition of properly concluded nuptial agreements and judicial anxiety about the public policy implications of relying too heavily on nuptial agreements.
In 2010, that position changed with the Supreme Court decision in Radmacher v Granatino [2010] UKSC 42 is now the "landmark" case providing guidance on how much weight is given to a nuptial agreement.
It remains the case that nuptial agreements are not binding on the court. Parties cannot, by agreement, oust the jurisdiction of the court to decide on the appropriate division of their finances but the Supreme Court held that:
The court should give effect to a nuptial agreement that is freely entered into by each party with a full appreciation of its implications, unless in the circumstances prevailing it would not be fair to hold the parties to their agreement.
The Supreme Court stated that it can be inferred as a starting point that a party who enters into an agreement intends to give effect to it. The factors however that might detract from the weight to be given to an agreement are a material lack of disclosure; the presence of one of the standard vitiating factors, fraud, duress or misrepresentation; unconscionable conduct, such as undue pressure which falls short of duress; unworthy conduct, such as exploitation of a dominant position and the emotional state of the parties and unfair terms of the agreement.
In the later case of BN v MA [2013] EWHC 4250 (Fam) Mostyn J said that there is nothing inherently unfair about an agreement that seeks to ring fence non-matrimonial property, including assets owned before the marriage (pre-marital assets) and assets a party anticipates receiving from a third party during the marriage, through lifetime gift or inheritance.
In determining whether the pre-nuptial agreement is fair, where an agreement leaves one party in real need, it is likely to be considered unfair. What constitutes real need appears to have been set at a very low level, per Mostyn J. "need may be interpreted as being that minimum amount required to keep a spouse free from destitution." It is not however fair to allow an agreement to prejudice the reasonable requirements of any child of the family.
In the recent decision of WW v HW [2015] EWHC 1844 (Fam), the court gave significant weight to a pre-nuptial agreement protecting the wife's inherited wealth of some £27 million, where the husband had been fully legally advised and his disclosure in respect of the agreement contained grossly exaggerated income and assets.
Facts: The husband (H) claimed for financial provision against his wife (W) after the failure of their marriage, despite having signed a pre-nuptial agreement not to claim against her.
H, aged 57, and W, aged 46, separated after a marriage of about 11 years' duration, having had two children together. W had inherited wealth of approximately £27 million before the marriage. The parties had entered into a prenuptial agreement after taking legal advice. The agreement provided that, if they divorced, neither would claim against the other (excluding any claim for a child). Any jointly owned real property would be held as tenants in common according to their respective contributions. H had grossly exaggerated his income and assets and wrongly claimed he was financially independent when the agreement was signed, probably to reassure W. H's approach to an outstanding tax liability amounted to clear financial conduct.
The agreement was given significant weight. H was aware the agreement was a condition of W marrying him and individual autonomy was important. Any needs based award to H would not impact on the quality of life for W or the children, but would come from the non-matrimonial assets protected by the agreement, so would not be generously assessed. In assessing H's income needs, H should not be over protected, as the risks to his future security arose from uncertainties created by his conduct.
The former matrimonial home was worth some £4.365 million. The parties' contributions suggested that the respective proportions should be 86% to W and 14% to H.
The court held that the former matrimonial property was held in the above proportions, which meant that the value of the parties' respective interests was £3,753,900 for W and £611,100 for H. A housing fund of £1.7 million was to be provided for H's life. A step down when the younger child was aged 23 and H was aged 69 would return 45% of the fund to W. H was likely to have around £300,000 of his own and had a potential to earn £20,000 per year until retirement. The court found that his reasonable annual net income should be £50,000 per year with a step down to £35,000 at age 65 and W was consequently ordered to pay him a lump sum of £215,000 to meet his income needs.

Teenagers Storm Streets of Abuja, Send Strong Messages Against Sexual, Gender-Based Violence
Monday, December 20, 2021 at 6:28 PM by Nnenna Ibeh
Teenagers have flooded the street of the New Kutunku community to create awareness among residents on the fight against sexual and gender-based violence
The teenagers called on parents and adults in the community to help protect their future by ensuring they are not abused or violated
According to the teenagers, SGBV is a violation of their fundamental human rights and must be avoided
To drive home messages against Sexual and Gender-Based Violence in Nigeria, some teenagers took to the streets of the New Kutunku community in Gwagwalada Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory to preach against such criminal acts.
The teenagers who marched in their scores alongside a team of Boys' Brigade went on a fanfare carrying placards with various inscriptions.

They focused on educating residents of New Kutunku on the need for the protection of the girl child, boys and women from SGBV.

With a huge banner inviting residents of the community for a dialogue on ending SGBV against women and girls, the teenagers said they aim to create awareness among community members on the dangers of sexual and gender-based violence against women, girls and children.
Some of their placards read: 'No Means No', 'No child ever asked to be raped', 'My voice counts', 'Say No To Child Marriage', 'Sexual violence is a violation of human rights' and 'I deserve a beautiful future; End sexual violence today'.
The teenagers' march and community dialogue is part of the Sexual Offences Awareness and Response (SOAR) Initiative project activity on mobilising community action to address SGBV against girls.
While the teenagers marched, they stopped at every 100 meters, to megaphones to invite residents of New Kukunku to a community dialogue expected to take place at the palace of the district head.

The project funded by Action Aid Nigeria seeks to raise awareness about SBGV by working with community members to identify all forms of SGBV against girls and guide the community in addressing these vices.
Speaking to Legit.ng, at the roadshow, 12-year-old Nabiha Alami, said she is out on the streets to let the people of New Kutunku know that she has equal rights with every other child.
Alami, a Junior Secondary School (JSS) 3 student said the people of New Kutunku need to know that as a girl child, she must be allowed to go to school rather than being married off before adulthood.
Collaborating the strong ideals of Alami, 14-year-old Ruth Nwafor said sexual violence against women and girls is a violation of their human rights.
According to the United Nations, it is estimated that one in three women experience either physical or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime.

The UN said these figures are mirrored in Nigeria, with 30 per cent of girls and women aged between 15 and 49 reported to have experienced sexual abuse.
Also, insurgency and protracted conflict have only served to exacerbate the occurrence of GBV in the northeast region while harmful practices such as child marriage are prevalent in Nigeria, with 43 per cent of girls married before the age of 18, while 20 per cent of women aged 15 to 49 have undergone female genital mutilation.
Speaking more on addressing issues of SGBV in New Kutunku, 19-year-old Dorcas Joshua said the number of cases of sexual abuse against women has continued to skyrocket with many underreported or unreported.
The teenagers called for an end to child marriage. Photo: Nnenna Ibeh
Dorcas told Legit.ng that
"The way children and women of nowadays have been deprived of their rights because of their gender. Many parents still believe that women's education ends in the kitchen and that is what we want to change."
Nigerian women selling their body because of harsh economy, Rights group raises alarm
"Nowadays, we women doing great things in society. Mercy Johnson, in the entertainment industry, women are doing well, in the economy, look at Ngozi Okonjo-Iwela, the late Dora Akunyili."
"Being a girl child should not bring discouragement but the desire to do more to make a change in society."
Abuse of young girls in the society
For Dorcas, it is important that parents have the consciousness that children are their responsibility and as such must be protected at all times from all forms of vices.
Also speaking against child marriage, Dorcas urged parents to allow their girls to reach their full potentials in their careers and lives before they are forced into marriage.
A teacher in the community, Margaret Musa, who doubles as a member of the iMentor Girls team established by the SOAR initiative said the roadshow and the dialogue serve as a platform for enlightenment campaign in the community.

Margret said:
"Abuse of a young girl or even a child is wrong, and for us, any adult found abusing a child, a girl or a woman should face the law."
"They should be prosecuted. In our communities, you see adults calling little girls; fine girl, come let me buy you biscuits."
"No, we don't want that. Our girls and boys must be protected. So we are out now to tell people to stay stop abusing our children and women and you can see the little ones among us, they are even the ones speaking out."
Margaret noted that women and young girls especially those who hawk petty items on the streets face numerous challenges of abuse and violence.
She said:
"Even when people do not want to buy things, they call on them just to molest them, this must stop."
Margaret added that the surest way to end SGBV is by encouraging everyone affected to speak out.

"Even if it is not you child, please speak out, report to the appropriate authorities, don't keep quiet because when we keep protecting these criminals, you never can tell, one day they may come for your own child."
Getting to the palace of the district head of Kutunku in time for the community the dialogue, the teenagers entertained the teeming crowd with a series of local dances and a display of various cultures while passing their messages against SGBV.
The teenagers also said education is key to securing the future of the girl child in the society Photo: Nnenna Ibeh
They also treated their guests at the palace to a drama session, illustrating the need for education and the level of damage SGBV can cause in the life of a child.
Speaking at the dialogue, a representative of the Gwagwalada area council, Helen Alfred, said parents, elders in the community must remain vigilant.
Alfred urged parents to build bonds with their children in order to encourage them to always speak out when things go wrong.

"It is also important that we retrace our steps and go back to those family values and morals that had helped us avoid these vices in the past. Our values system is eroded and people feel they can do anything and get away with it."
For the secretary to the district head of New Kutunku, Salihu Musa, the training received by residents through SOAR Initiative activities have created awareness on the perils of child marriage.
He also said that the community through the organisation have continued to ensure that the culture of silence is eliminated and people are encouraged to speak up against acts of SGBV.
Musa said:
"We have made it clear that we need to know when these things happen or even when you think it is about to happen so that we can act on it."
"Everyone in this community now knows that raping, violating children is prohibited here in New Kutunku community."

In his address, Levi Yakubu, the project assistant for SOAR Initiative while aligning with the need to encourage people to speak out said counselling is key to ensuring that survivors of SGBV get all the help they need.
He also said that the SOAR Initiative support survivors with counselling, psychosocial and medical care where necessary.
UNICEF calls for media partnership in the fight to end SGBV in Nigeria
Legit.ng had previously reported that Ibrahim Sesay, the chief child protector for UNICEF urged media organisations and journalists to partner with relevant agencies on issues surrounding men and girls in Nigeria.
Sesay said funds have been committed globally towards curbing all forms of violence against women and girls.
He also called for a conscious effort to protect victims of GBV violence in every media reporting involving women, girls and children.

Also, a social worker in FCT had said that Nigeria lacks special courts needed to handle cases of gender-based violence.
Ngozi Ike said these courts are needed to handle cases of violence against women and girls across the country.
According to Ike, the establishment of such courts would speed up the trial of perpetrators of gender-based violence.

Carry trades use to be one of the most popular trading strategies for retail forex traders, but in the past year, that has changed significantly. The Japanese have always been the biggest buyers of carry trades but having been burned significantly, they are finally starting to cut their losses. According to the latest data from the Tokyo Financial Exchange (TFX), one of Japan's largest retail FX brokers, traders have become a net seller of GBP/JPY (Related: Japanese Retail FX Positioning).
After hitting a high above 250 in July 2007, GBP/JPY has fallen 48 percent. The positioning data suggests that the Japanese have been sitting with their long carry trade positions for as long as they can and now that interest rate differentials have compressed so significantly, they are finally bailing. At TFX, 69 percent of all GBP/JPY transactions as of Feb 3, 2009 is to sell the currency pair.
Although, many of the other yen crosses have also depreciated significantly over the past year, Japanese investors have been hesitant of shorting carry trades aggressively because they still have to pay interest on any short positions. With GBP/JPY however the interest rate differential rate differential is falling and falling fast. As the cost of shorting carry trades fall, we could see more interest from Japanese retail traders. In the meantime however, for the pairs that still have higher interest rate differentials like AUD/JPY and NZD/JPY, short positions will not be held long.
We all know that Japanese traders have been obsessed with the carry trade. However given the more than 30 percent decline in many of the Yen crosses last year, many people may be wondering how many Japanese carry traders are still in the game. Can these traders still remain committed to their long AUD/JPY and GBP/JPY positions given the big losses that they have already taken?
My good friend Rhonda Staskow has compiled some great charts illustrating the changes in long yen positions at Tokyo Financial Exchange (TFX) and Gaitame.com, two of the largest retail currency brokers in Japan. These charts run from May 28 2008 to Jan 6, 2009 and are presented as the percentage of longs in overall positions.
Has Currency Volatility Hit a Peak?
On Tuesday, we talked about how volatility in the forex market has exploded in 2008. Although trading ranges expanded significantly in October and November, volatility has contracted since the beginning of the month.
The following chart from Bloomberg illustrates how far 3 month volatility for the EUR/USD has fallen since hitting a record high in late October. Anyone that follows the currency market on a regular basis can attest to its recent range trading behavior. There are good reasons for the compression in volatility as the year is winding is coming to a close and new positioning becomes one of the last things on the minds of currency traders. It has been a tough year and many funds are closing their books early to lock in remaining profits.
If volatility does continue to fall, it would help carry trades recover. One of the big reasons why the Japanese Yen has outperformed this year is the explosion in volatility.
However it may still be premature to say that volatility in the currency market has peaked because December 16th will be a historic moment for the US Federal Reserve. Not only are they expected to take interest rates to the lowest level this generation has ever seen but they have to figure out how to effectively signal their intentions of taking US interest rates to zero without completely spooking the markets.
Thin trading going into the holidays can also exacerbate moves in the currency markets. I remember how the EUR/USD increased 300 pips between Christmas and New Years in 2007 and did the same in the first 3 trading days of the year.
What Could Drive USD/JPY to 13 Year Lows?
We are inching closer to a formal bailout plan for the Big 3 automakers and as previously suggested, regardless of the final outcome, the markets will cheer an end to the drawn out drama. The rally in equities this morning have driven major currencies higher against the US dollar and Japanese Yen, but it remains to be seen whether the improvement in investor sentiment will last. We are walking into a lot of potentially weak economic data on Thursday and Friday that could serve as a harsh reminder of the problems that the US economy faces. The PPI and retail sales figures should resurrect concerns that deflation and depression will hit the US.
The Treasury market is already pricing in the possibility of deflation and depression with yields in zero to negative territory for the first time since the Great Depression. Fed Fund futures are pricing in a 100 percent chance of a 75bp rate cut from the Federal Reserve next week. This would take US rates to 0.25%, making the US dollar the lowest yielding currency in the developed world. Although the greenback has remained weak against the Japanese Yen, if the Fed takes interest rates to zero, we could see the dollar fall to 13 year lows against the Japanese Yen.

BMW rolled into town last night with a fleet of Hydrogen 7 sedans for us to test drive. Having already driven hydrogen cars from Honda and GM, we were intrigued to get behind the wheel of a hydrogen Bimmer, which differs from most other hydrogen-powered cars in that it doesn't rely on a fuel cell and electric drive train. Instead, it uses a modified version of the BMW 760Li's V-12 internal combustion engine to burn hydrogen in the cylinders in the same way as gasoline. It also differs from the pack in that that the hydrogen is stored in a liquid state rather than as a gas. Check out our gallery of the experience and more details on the car here.

For this FIRST TIME since we became friends I WAS THE FIRST ONE at our venue - Conti's Greenhills!! I thought I was already late as I left the house at about 12:30pm and got to Conti's at 12:45pm. As I entered the place I was expecting to see Shirley, Gue, Cherry, Carol, Carissa, Mira and Bobot - I was also expecting to hear Mira say 'Diba ang usapan was 12:30pm lunch?' But I got shocked to discover that THEY WERE NOT YET IN THE RESTAURANT. I looked at my watch to check the date and time. I was thinking that maybe I went on the wrong day, maybe it was next Saturday! And so I called Shirley to ask where she was. She answered my call and apologized immediately saying that they're all on their way since nagpasundo pa si Cherry and CArol kay Gue sa Binondo - then dadaanan pa sha in QC before coming over. I was thinking - teka, parang matagal pa ah.. But ok lang since the place was PACKED as in literally PACKED ok? I was waiting for a table for 8 and I was number 8 pa! Grabe diba? The place was kinda small lang kasi and I guess they just opened recently. So I just waited. Shirley called me to say na Mira, Bobot and Carissa were all on their way to the restaurant. Ako naman, I didn't mind the wait but I was really super sleepy pa kasi - I went to watch the BSB COncert the night before. So, anyways - ayun.. so I waited.. waited till about 1:15pm when Carissa called to look for me inside the restaurant. She missed me kasi - I was reading the newspaper that time (reading the BSB interview of Ricky Lo) then we got to make kwento and catch up on things.. parang ang tagal na naming hindi nag-uusap ni Carissa!! Anyways - everyone arrived at 2:00pm complete na kami by that time.
- the food was really GREAT!!
- Gue - you look so nice... Blooming.. Yiheeeeee!!
- it was nice to see and catch up with everyone!!

The 1942 Fort Douglas MPs football team represented Fort Douglas during the 1942 college football season.  Under the coaching of a former Utah football player, Murray Maughan, the MPs (members of the Military Police Corps) compiled a 5–3 record, although they were outscored by their opponents by a total of 174 to 159.  On a December 2nd Associated Press poll for the ranking of service academies, Fort Douglas received a single tenth place vote, good enough to place them at No. 20 alongside Daniel Field and Camp Shelby.
