Food festival to open in southern Vietnam this week
A festival featuring a variety of traditional dishes typical of southern Vietnam will open on Friday in Can Tho, the largest city in the Mekong Delta region.
Nguyen Khanh Tung, director at Can Tho's Center for Investment, Trade, and Expo Promotion, said the city has finished all preparations for the upcoming 5th Traditional Southern Cake Festival, which will run from April 15 to April 19 in Cai Khe Ward, Ninh Kieu District.
The festival will feature over 150 food stalls, 80 of which will be reserved for traditional cakes, 50 for regional specialties and handicrafts, and 20 for foreign participants.
The stalls will exhibit and sell around 100 different types of traditional Vietnamese cakes, 66 specialties, 20 traditional drinks, 20 kinds ofche (Vietnamese sweet soup), 15 types of noodles, among several others.
In addition, Can Tho City will also hold a conference to welcome suggestions for the growth of traditional Vietnamese cakes domestically and globally.
"This is a cultural and traditional event aimed at introducing and promoting traditional cakes made from rice, sticky rice, their powdered variations, and different types of vegetables typical of southern Vietnam to domestic and foreign visitors," director Tung said.
According to Tung, the organizing committee has invited 20 artisans from Can Tho City and other Mekong Delta provinces to show off their cooking skills through making a variety of different cakes during the festival.
The last Traditional Southern Cake Festival, which took place in Can Tho from April 27 to May 1, 2015, attracted over 160,000 visitors and generated more than VND1.8 billion (US$80,400) in revenue.

Should we take stats on a weekly basis? Just list all the awards (for the video and the account, views, and rating, and number of comments?
I found this account, it seems to only post DVD exclusives; including the FBA start-up screens of each DVD. It's not mine but still. Should we add it?
Ok, but can we at least put links to his videos? It would help with external links of DVD exclusives.
Actually, in his upload of family resemblence the easter egg plays automatically kinda like another toon we know.
KINDA like independent. I didn't mean the easter egg, i meant it was edited.
It has the highest quality version of These peoples try to fade me we've seen.
It [apparently] has the vevo logo in the lower right corner and properly vevo-stamped thumbnails. Not sure if they are real though.
It's not too difficult to make that higher quality version of the song if you have the CD and a good editing program.
The name of the channel is "CoachZVEV0". Like, with a zero at the end.

Mussels are a delicately flavored seafood item that offer high levels of protein, iron and manganese. To ensure your safety and the best possible flavor of your food, select only mussels that are closed. Discard any open mussels before cooking. To eat your mussels in a traditional manner, find an empty shell. Use it like tongs to pull the mussel meat out of other shells and then place the mussel meat in your mouth. Rather than discarding leftover mussels, put them in the refrigerator and reheat them later. They have a tendency to dry out when reheated, however, so you must do this gently.
Remove the mussels from the broth and set aside.
Pour the broth into the saucepot and put it on the stove. Bring the broth to a full boil.
Remove the saucepan containing the broth from the heat as soon as the broth has started to boil. Return the mussels to the saucepan.
Swirl the saucepan or stir the mussels to ensure that the near-boiling broth comes into contact with all of the mussels. This will reheat the mussel meat without drying it out or overcooking it, both of which can result in chewy, rubbery mussels.
Remove the mussels from the dish that accompanies them (for example, pasta) and set them aside.
Heat the dish that accompanies your mussels. You may do this either on the stove, in the oven or in the microwave depending on the dish. Heat the food until it is very hot; lukewarm food will not help to reheat the mussels.
Remove the mussels from their shells as you are reheating the accompanying dish.
Remove the accompanying dish from the heat and stir in the de-shelled mussels. Stir well to ensure that all of the mussels come into solid contact with the hot dish. The heat of the dish will reheat the mussels.
Remove the mussels from their shells if you absolutely must reheat them alone.
Place the mussels into a microwave-safe dish. Cover the dish with a damp paper towel. Use as small a dish as you can to hold all of the mussels to lessen their tendency to dry out.
Microwave your mussels on 30 percent power for 15 seconds at a time, checking them after each interval, until they are as hot as you desire.

Music for Septuagesima
Home Sunday's Music Music for Septuagesima
By Pastor Jacob Sutton Sunday's Music February 12, 2022
Faith looks to Jesus Christ alone The HYMN OF THE DAY, "Salvation Unto Us Has Come" (555), is one of the oldest core Lutheran chorales. Written by Pastor Paul Speratus (1484-1551) in 1523, it was included in the first Lutheran hymnal Etlich Christlich lider, also known as the Achtliederbuch ("Eight Song Book") of 1524. In its first printing, it was described as "a hymn of Law and Faith, Powerfully Furnished with God's Word."
Originally in fourteen stanzas, in our current version it sets forth the doctrine of justification, man's bondage to sin under the Law (stanzas 2-4), the work of Christ for salvation (stanzas 5-6), the Christian life, and rendering praise to the Triune God for His great work.
Speratus was forced to leave several parishes because of his evangelical views. Eventually he came to Wittenberg and associated with Luther. He became pastor in Königsberg and served as the Lutheran bishop of Pomerania until his death.
Though All Our Life is Like a Scroll The CHORAL VOLUNTARY is a hymn for the five hundredth anniversary of the Reformation in 2017. It was the winning submission in a competition, written by the Rev. Dr. Wilfred L. Karsten, pastor of Holy Cross—Moline, IL. It reflected the theme "It's Still All About Jesus," Pastor Karsten noted: "Half a millennium later, the truths of the Reformation continue to apply." It is fitting during Septuagesima, as stanzas 2, 3, and 4 focus on grace alone, faith alone, and Scripture alone. The tune was written by Dr. Jeffrey Blersch, professor of music at Concordia University Nebraska.
Though all our life is like a scroll; Unrolled with blemished pages;
Though sin has shredded what was whole; And death is now our wages;
Yet here we stand in confidence, With Jesus as our sole defense,
For He alone still saves us.
Though pompously we try to dress; In costumes of our making;
Though fig leaves of self-righteousness; Are futile and heartbreaking;
Yet filthy rags Christ gladly wore; So we would perish nevermore.
His grace alone still clothes us.
Though earth's deep waters foam and roar; As surging waves are rolling;
Though all the nations rage with war; While bells of doom are tolling;
Yet God gives peaceful fortitude, He nurtures us with Heaven's food.
True faith alone still anchors.
Though critics cut out Scripture's claims; And treat them with derision;
Though they conduct their hostile aims; With scalpels of suspicion;
Yet how the living, two-edged sword; Proclaims the dead and risen Lord!
God's Word alone: still truthful.
Now sing a high doxology; To God who gives salvation.
Both here and in eternity; Let this be our vocation.
To Father, Son, and Spirit raise; A symphony of grateful praise,
For He alone is worthy. Amen.
The lessons are Exodus 17.1–7; 1 Corinthians 9.24—10.5; and St. Matthew 20.1–16.
The hymns are: 724 If God Himself Be For Me
555 Salvation Unto Us Has Come
TLH 267 If God Had Not Been On Our Side
566 By Grace I'm Saved
640 Thee We Adore, O Hidden Savior

Electronic Checkup to Go (E-CHUG)
REGION: AMERICAS
Developer: San Diego State University Research Foundation
Program Overview: Electronic Checkup to Go (e-CHUG) is an online personalized feedback program originally developed by counselors and psychologists at San Diego State University to help motivate university students to examine their drinking. The program has been adopted by over 550 colleges and universities nationwide.
Design1: e-CHUG consists of general educational content, a personal assessment, and customized feedback, which typically takes 15-30 minutes to complete. Educational content includes normative data for the specific university population and referrals for the local community. The personal assessment asks for basic demographic information as well as information on alcohol consumption, drinking behavior, and alcohol-related consequences. Feedback consists of a summary of the student's quantity and frequency of drinking including graphical representations, normative comparisons relative to US adult and college drinking patterns, estimated risk status, and referral information for local agencies.
Evaluation: e-CHUG has been evaluated a number of times in randomized, controlled trials. Of the studies considered here, all used university students as participants and randomized them to either an e-CHUG intervention group or to a comparison group(s). In some studies, only high-risk students were used as participants while other studies used students with a variety of consumption patterns.
Among high-risk drinkers, e-CHUG effectively reduces consumption levels and alcohol related consequences in short term follow ups (3 months)1.
Among high-risk drinkers, those who used eCHUG experienced comparable effects to those who used e-CHUG and went over their results with a counselor: both groups showed similar rates of reduction in weekly drinking, peak alcohol consumption, frequency of intoxication, and alcohol-related consequences at 1-month follow up2.
However, only e-CHUG combined with counseling was effective at correcting students' normative beliefs about alcohol at 8-months follow up3.
Among all student drinkers, e-CHUG is not shown to decrease alcohol use, but does significantly reduce alcohol related harms at 3-months follow up4.
Among high-risk drinkers, e-CHUG may not be effective at reducing drinking in the long term, based on studies with follow ups stretching beyond 3 months5,6.

Introduction Cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) are bioelectric responses that occur from acoustic stimulations, and they assess the functionality of the central auditory system.
Objective The objective of the present study was to analyze the effect of musical stimulation on CAEPs.
Methods The sample consisted of 42 healthy female subjects, aged between 18 and 24 years, divided into two groups – G1: without musical stimulation prior to the CAEP examination; and G2: with stimulation prior to the examination. In both groups, as a pre-collection procedure, the complete basic audiological evaluation was performed. For the musical stimulation performed in G2, we used an MP4 player programmed to play Pachelbel's "Canon in D Major" for five minutes prior to the CAEP examination. To analyze the effect on the groups, the ear side and the ide–group interaction , a mixed analysis of variance (ANOVA) of repeated measures was performed. Box M test and Mauchly sphericity test were also performed.
Results Test differences were considered statistically significant when the p-value was < 0.05 (5%). Thus, it was possible to observe that there was a statistically significant difference of the P2 component characterized by the decrease in the amplitude of response in the left ear in G2 when comparing the responses of CAEP with and without prior musical stimulation.
Conclusion The result of the present study enabled us to conclude that there was a change in the response of CAEPs with musical stimulation.
electrophysiology - music - auditory evoked potentials
Cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) tests are neural bioelectrical responses that occur from acoustic stimulations, and they evaluate the functionality of the central auditory system. These potentials are characterized by the components P1, N1, P2, N2 and P3a, which are related to the perception and recognition of the acoustic and temporal characteristics of the auditory stimulus and represent a passive and automatic pre-attentional response of the auditory system.[1] [2]
Studies on perception based on behavioral and neural information state that sensory systems are able to unconsciously analyze the characteristics of the stimuli and to differentiate deviant characteristics across stimuli.[3] Auditory perception occurs through the activation of the reticular formation, the lemniscus, the inferior colliculus, the thalamus and the primary, frontal, central-parietal, temporal and supratemporal cortexes, which are neural structures involved in the CAEP response.[2]
Specifically, the response of the P2 component is linked to the discrimination of the acoustic characteristics of the stimulus. P2 amplitude is greater in people who have contact with music or specific musical training due to the sophistication of the perception of the acoustic characteristics.[4] [5] [6]
Many scientists are focused on researches that seek to highlight the advantages and benefits of auditory pathway stimulation with musical stimuli associated with auditory training.[7] [8] [9]
Recent studies report that there is a possibility of combining harmonious, rhythmic and melodic stimuli to positively influence the modulation of brain activity, which can be measured by CAEPs.[10] [11]
Examining the Brazilian literature, we found a study that sought to understand the action of the various musical types and their velocities during the capture of auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) through cognitive tasks in healthy women. According to this study, the stimulus velocity did not influence the values of the AEP components. However, prior musical stimulation was a facilitating agent for the test, since the participants showed better attention during its performance.[12]
The objective of the present study was to understand the effects of prior musical stimulation on CAEPs, since they remain imprecise. In this sense, the knowledge of the action of musical stimuli on the central auditory cortex is extremely important for the development of our evaluation and treatment proposals.
Thus, the present study aimed to analyze the effect of musical stimulation on CAEPs.
This is a cross-sectional study with a quantitative outlining, of analytical type, performed with the approval of the Research Ethics Committee of one of our institutions, under number 419/2012.
The study consisted of 42 healthy female subjects aged between 18 and 24 years. The sample was divided into two groups of 21 participants each: group 1 (G1), with the examination of CAEPs without prior musical stimulation; and group 2 (G2), with the examination of CAEPs with musical stimulation prior to the examination.
The exclusion criteria for the composition of the sample were: external and/or middle ear alterations, hearing loss and neurological disorders. The following pre-collection procedures were performed to evaluate auditory thresholds: audiological anamnesis, immittance audiometry and pure tone audiometry (air conduction headphones and a bone conduction vibrator were used).
The normal parameters considered in the auditory evaluations were: pure tone audiometry in the frequencies between 250 and 8,000 Hz with air conduction headphones and between 500 and 4,000 Hz with the bone conduction vibrator (with thresholds of ≤ 25 dB with air conduction and ≤ 15 dB with bone conduction), immittance audiometry with type A curve tympanogram, indicating normal mobility of the tympano-ossicular system and presence of ipsi and contralateral reflexes.[13] [14]
Data collection was performed in a quiet and electrically-protected room, at a temperature between 21 and 25°C and humidity between 50 and 60%. During the CAEP tests for G1 and G2, the participants were instructed to remain alert by watching a video (without sound) to distract themselves and not direct their attention to the sound stimulus that was presented in an oddball paradigm (a rare stimulus randomly presented to the standard stimulus). The task performed during this examination was passive listening of the sound.
For CAEP acquisition, the Bio-logic Auditory Evoked Potential (AEP) software (Natus Medical Incorporated, Pleasanton, CA, US) was used, with five disposable electrodes positioned at Fz and Cz in reference to the right lobe (A2) and left lobe (A1) alternately and ground at Fpz, using the 2 recording channels of the equipment and the following parameters: filter between 0.5 and 30 Hz, monaural stimulation (burst tones with 10-ms plateau and 5-ms rise/fall), with a frequency of 750 Hz for the standard stimulus and 1,000 Hz for rare stimulus, with a 20% probability, interval between stimuli of 1.1 ms, intensity of 70 dB NA, analysis time of 500 ms, amplification of 100x, alternating polarity, and number of samples of 200 stimuli.[13]
For the final analysis of the results, the records obtained at Cz were used, because in this region the records had better wave morphology when compared to the records obtained in Fz.
The latencies and amplitudes of the N1, P2 and N2 waves were marked following the appearance of the first three waves, in the highest peak, sequentially, in the negative-positive-negative polarities respectively, between 60 and 300 ms, in relation to tracing replication.[15] As for the P3a component, its latency was marked between 220 and 350 ms.[16] The P3b component was not analyzed in the present study. The P3a is one of the components of CAEP related to the processes of early warning and auditory sensory processing, which occurs automatically in response to the perception of the stimulus difference, regardless of the individual's active attention to the stimulus sequence.[17]
For the musical stimulation performed in G2, an MP4 player was used, which was programmed to play Pachelbel's "Canon in D Major", with an intensity between 60 and 80 dB for 5 minutes prior to CAEP testing.
The tests lasted ∼ 50 minutes for both groups. As a standard to maintain a quality examination, for the volunteers who presented myogenic interference, positional changes were suggested, and the examination was repeated when necessary.
Data were described through mean and standard deviation (SD). The normality distribution was verified through the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and the homogeneity through the Levene test. Mixed Anova of repeated measures was used to analyze the effect on the groups, the ear side and the side–group interaction. The Box M test was used to verify whether the covariance matrices of the observed dependent variables were the same for both groups, and the Mauchly sphericity test was used to test the sphericity hypothesis. In the case of rejection of the sphericity hypothesis, the analyses were based on the Greenhouse-Geisser multivariate test. Peer-to-peer comparisons were performed using the Bonferroni Post-Hoc test. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05.
Considering that there may be differences between the left and right sides, [Table 1] explored the relationship between the groups and the ear side. In G1, a significant difference was observed between the left and right sides for the amplitude values (P2 AMP), but between G1 and G2, the difference in P2 AMP was observed only on the left side. Although there was no interaction observed between ear side and group for P2 AMP, the results suggest that the presence of music has a greater impact on the left side, because the difference between the left and right sides ceases to exist in the presence of music. [Fig. 1] presents the mean and 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) for P2 AMP values for G1 and G2 on the left and right sides.

According to the data obtained in the comparison between G1 and G2, there was a decrease in the amplitude of the P2 component in the left ear after the musical stimulation.
The P2 component is a marker component of auditory discrimination and correlated processes related to the perception of distinct acoustic characteristics among the stimuli.[18] Musical assimilation is linked to this component due to the fact that the source is the superior temporal cortex, more specifically the primary auditory cortex, which is responsible for the perception of duration, intensity and timbre.[1] [2] [19] [20]
The amplitude of the P2 wave corresponds to the volume of electrical activity that travels during the processing of the acoustic characteristics in the cortex, and is formed according to the level of concentration of the subject. Musical stimulation may have produced increased levels of alertness and concentration among the subjects in the responses to the musical stimulus. And consequently, a decrease in the pre-attentional automatic hearing responses may be related to the auditory discrimination of the auditory stimulus used in testing the CAEP.
In the other components of the CAEP (N1, N2 and P3a), no effect of musical stimulation was observed, possibly because the auditory components originate from distinct neural generators and assume different functions in the auditory response processing. The N1 reflects the detection of characteristics and acoustic changes; the N2 is a mixed component, for it reflects the physical discrimination of the acoustic characteristics of the stimulus and is related to the passive and automatic pre-attentional response that precedes the stimulus; and the P3a reflects an alert process when involuntary attention is redirected to unexpected events resulting from the detection of the deviant stimulus.[1] [2] [17] [19]
The results showed significant differences between the ears. Following a structural model, we can explain that the auditory information of the left ear is processed in the right hemisphere, concerning the non-verbal characteristics related to music and to tonal stimuli used in CAEP testing. Such an explanation justifies the difference in amplitude in the opposite hemisphere in both groups.[21] [22]
In addition, the automatic response of the processing of acoustic stimuli and the involuntary perception of the presence of one stimulus among others can suffer the effects of a conditioning of the response and loss of "attention."[23] [24] Such behavior is consistent with a decrease in the amplitudes of the CAEP components, especially the P2, generated by the depolarization of a group of neurons in specific regions of the brain.[25]
Greater control of the duration of the stimuli, separated by short intervals, can insure more reliable measures and enable the investigation of this behavior in future studies.
In addition, some studies relate attentional abilities with characteristics related to the rhythm of the auditory stimulus during musical listening.[26] Recently, a study showed that there was a significant correlation between the auditory and cortical systems when simple acoustic stimuli were presented, and, therefore, corroborated our study.[6]
The result of the present study allowed us to conclude that there was a change in the CAEPs response with prior musical stimulation in the female population.

Abstract: -Basically Electronic waste (e-waste) is a kind of unwanted electronic or electrical appliances. This E-waste includes entertainment electronics, computers, mobile phones and other items that have somewhere been discarded by their existing users. E-waste is an inevitable by-product of a technological revolution. Driven primarily by smaller, faster, cheaper and microchip technology, society is experiencing the evolution in capability of all the electronic appliances. For its benefits innovation brings with it. As per the EPA an estimated 5-7 million tons of stereos, TV, computers, toys, electronic appliances, cell phones and other electronic gadgets become obsolete every year. By various reports we usually see that the electronics comprise approximately 1-4% of the municipal solid waste stream. An E-waste problem will be continuously growing at a much higher rate. E-waste refers to electronic products being discarded by the consumers.
Keywords: -E-waste, benefits, recycle, TV etc.
Electronic waste or e-waste are describesdiscarded electrical or electronic devices. Used electronics which are the destined for reuse, resale, salvage, recycling or disposal is also is considered e-waste. Informal processing of e- waste in developing countries can be lead to adverse human health effects and environmental pollution.
Electronic scrap components, such as CPUs, contain potentially harmful components are belead, cadmium, beryllium, or brominates flame retardants. Recycling and disposal of e-waste may involved significant risk for the workers and communities in developed countries and great care must be taken for avoid unsafe exposure in recycling operation and leaking of materials are such as heavy metal from landfill and incinerator ashes.
Rapid change in technology, changes in media (tapes, software, MP3), falling prices, and have resulted in a fast- growing surplus of electronic waste around the globe. Technical solutions are available, for most cases a legal framework, a collection, logistics, and other services need to be implemented before a technical solution can be applied
AMOUNT OF ELECTRONIC WASTE WORLD-WIDE
According to a report by UNEP titled, "Recycling from Electronic Waste to Resources," the amount of e-waste beingproducedincluding mobile phones and computers could rise by as much as 500% over the next decade in
some of countries, such as India.The United States is the world leader in producing electronic waste, toss away about 3 million ton each year. China already produces about 2.3 million tons (2010 estimate) domestically, second only for the United States. And, despite having banned e- waste imports, China remains a major e-waste dumping ground in developed countries
Figure 1 Environmental Impact
The process of disposing of electronic wasted in the developing countries is lead to the number of environmental impact as illustrated in the graphic. Liquid and atmospheric release end up in body of water, groundwater, soil, and air and therefore in land and sea animals are both domesticated and wild, in crops eaten by both animals and human, and in drinking water.
Levels of carcinogens in duck of ponds and rice paddies exceeded international standards for agricultural areas and cadmium, copper, nickel, and lead levels in the rice paddies were above international standards. Heavy metals found in road dust lead over 300 times that of the control village's road dust and copper over 100 times.

Emissions of brominates dioxins of heavy metals and hydrocarbons
Computer wires
Open burning and stripping to remove copper
PAHs released into air, water and soil.
INFORMATION SECURITIES
E-waste presents a potential security threat to individuals and exporting countries. Hard drives that are not properly erased before the computer is disposed of can be reopened, exposing sensitive information. Credit card numbers, private financial data, account information, and records of online transactions can be accessed by most willing individuals. Organized criminals in Ghana commonly search the drives for information to use in local scams. Electronic files about government contracts have been discovered on hard drives found in Agbogbloshie. Multimillion-dollar agreements from United States security institutions such as the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Transportation Security Administration and Homeland Security have all resurfaced in Agbogbloshie.
Figure 2 E-waste Products
Computer monitors are typically packed into low stacks on wooden pallets for recycling and then shrink-wrapped.
Audiovisual components, televisions, VCRs, stereo equipment, mobile phones, other handheld devices, and computer components contain valuable elements and substances suitable for reclamation, including lead, copper, and gold.
One of the majr challenges is recycling the printed circuit boards from the electronic wastes. The circuit boards contain such precious metals as gold, silver, platinum, etc. and such base metals as copper, iron, aluminum, etc. One way e-waste is processed is by melting circuit boards, burning cable sheathing to recover copper wire and open- pit acid leaching for separating metals of value. Conventional method employed is mechanical shredding and separation but the recycling efficiency is low. Alternative methods such as have been studied for printed circuit board recycling, and some other methods are still under investigation. As properly disposing of or reusing electronics can help prevent health problems, reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and create jobs, there have been calls to
Reform "the methodology for e-waste disposal and re-use in developing countries with reuse and refurbishing offering a more environmentally friendly and socially conscious alternative todowncycling processes.

What if the touristic success of a region had more to do with its local politics, rather than its landscape and climate? Our speaker has studied this notion for her thesis, concentrating more specifically on the Riviera. Considering the region's history from a political and a touristic viewpoint, she brings to light the economic stakes of touristic development as well as the impact of elements such as the presence of a touristic leadership and public-private partnerships. Her conclusions will give us a few leads for the future.

Hunter Biden Is the Chaotic, Horny Failson We Deserve
His dad would be a terrible president — but he's the ideal black sheep
Joe Biden — and I cannot stress this enough — should not be president. He's creepy, out of touch, not the working-class guy he pretends to be and can't ever seem to find the end of a sentence. His appeal, such as it is, lies in a meme-like construction of his persona. And yet, none of this appears to be as great a threat to his White House ambitions as his son, Hunter.
Hunter Biden has worked harder than any presidential/senatorial fail kid. just saying!
— Dank Meme Themed 36th Birthday Party (@ByYourLogic) October 7, 2019
Hunter Biden has emerged as a crucial target for Republicans as they gear up for what they imagine will be a general election showdown with his doddering dad. Because the guy served for five years on the board of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company, Trump allegedly pressured the country's president to investigate the family, on the false pretense that Joe had intervened to halt a corruption probe against Hunter while vice president. That, more or less, is why impeachment has gone forward, and why the right wing continues to push smears and conspiracy theories about Hunter — it's counterprogramming to the Trump Crime Circus.
NEW: Facing ongoing, unfounded conspiracy theory attacks from President Trump and others, Hunter Biden will step down from Chinese-backed firm, and forgo foreign business if his father is elected president, lawyer says. https://t.co/11Y9oeBN1h
— MSNBC (@MSNBC) October 13, 2019
But the funny thing is, while there's no real evidence of the Hunter scandal the GOP wants to tease apart, Hunter is a deeply chaotic presence who deserves the national stage, far more so than Trump's children. A history of substance abuse culminated in his 2013 dismissal from the U.S. Navy Reserve, one month after his father had presided over the ceremony in which he became a direct commissioning officer, when he tested positive for cocaine. He suggested that this was the result of unwittingly smoking cigarettes that had been laced with the drug. The latest headlines on Donald Trump Jr. described how he fled from white nationalists who showed up at his "stop silencing free speech" book event, after letting his girlfriend try to shout them down. The latest on Hunter? A 28-year-old Arkansas woman, Lunden Alexis Roberts, is suing him for child support and health care, with a motion that contains a DNA test she says proves his paternity.
Ask yourself: Which nepotism-enabled failson is the true American here?
Well what a damn handsome or beautiful child that must be! 😉
— Greta Evans 🏴🇬🇧&🇺🇸♿Resist🌊🦋🌹 (@GretaEvans81) November 21, 2019
Oh, and we can't forget to mention that back in May, Hunter married a South African woman, Melissa Cohen, only 10 days after they met, this being especially big news given that over the three years prior, he'd dated his late brother Beau's widow, Hallie Biden. It was also during his partnership with Hallie that Roberts' purported child with Hunter was born. Whew! You scarcely have to wonder if there's any merit to the claim his first wife, Kathleen Buhle, made in her 2017 divorce filing — that he'd squandered a fortune on drugs and sex workers. This, keep in mind, is just the stuff that's public. We can attempt to imagine the rest of his secrets, but we'd surely fail.
A man who will absolutely sleep with his dead brother's widow on the DL but also will let a homeless person sleep in his apartment
— Bo (@BoEberle) September 22, 2019
I don't mean to revel too much in what the New Yorker politely called Hunter's "tumultuous personal life," and again, I don't want Joe Biden running the country. All the same, I have to marvel at what we've seen of Hunter so far, and I think we can all agree that any first family needs a wild card to spice things up. Bad tweets from Eric and Don Trump Jr. aren't cutting it, even if they did kill Donnie's marriage. In a perfect world, a more progressive Dem candidate would adopt Hunter on their way into office and keep him around as the avatar of America's ultra-horny, push-it-to-the-limit id. That way, whenever politics aggravates us, we'd have the option to flip to Page Six and learn what mischief he's gotten into this time.
Yes, the stories of coke and sex are fun in a way the transcript of a phone call to the leader of the Ukraine never will be, but they're also refreshingly quaint. I guess what I'm saying is: let's bring sexy back.

A stunning gift display by gifted "wrapper" Sande, of a Gift Wrapped Life.
Here's the skinny (low-fat, sugar-free) on my view of Christmas this year. It goes something like this: every November, I have a psychotic breakdown when I visit the mall three weeks prior to Thanksgiving and see columns trussed up like candy canes. I shout insults at Christmas commercials featuring shiny wrapping and sprinkled snow scenes, while outside the trees are golden. I picket local radio stations who dare to broadcast carols while the Target is still clearing out its Halloween candy sale.
My favorite so far: Kate Spade's $50 and under gift guide.
Red Letter Day candle, $48.
Grammery Park Coin Purse, $50.
Sanity:I love that premature Christmas drives you looney, too. Like you, however, I find myself getting ever so slightly excited to get this holiday season going. Sande is so cool - loved seeing her work here!
So funny. I had a breakdown at the mall yesterday buying my son some shirts from the Gap. I felt like the walls were closing in on me. I love this time of year and hate it all the same. Love going into the Kate Spade store. It makes me happy> And one year, I convinced them to give me the window dressings from the holiday display and use it at home all of the time!
What does the candle smell like?
I think I probably need those studs... I mean in order to make it, you know.
On the other side of that coin ... . I know that if I'm to have all my handmade cards & decor done , I've got to start NOW !
haha, i'm feeling kind of nostalgic myself this year which is strange b/c i normally don't get excited about this time of year. that headband is stinking awesome and needs to be on my head.
I want all of it (except maybe the barette, but that's just because my hair is pretty short).
I've been debating about when to start up Ye Olde Holiday Blogging myself, worrying that it's still too early, that I'll holiday myself out, etc. And yet somehow I find myself drinking peppermint mochas, humming carols, and feeling just a wee bit festive.
Maybe this is because of all the crap that's gone on the past year?
Does this mean I can start Christmas posts or not? I'll leave the decision in your psychotic hands.
My daughter and I were loving the Kate Spade Christmas lists over a cup of tea yesterday morning! We were trying to figure out who we could buy these gifts for. I really want that bow hair pin. It comes in a set of 2, one for me and one for my daughter!!!


I have never written to the Olympian Editor before but felt a compelling need to let everyone know that Stephen Buxbaum is the right person you need to have as the Olympia City Mayor due to his experience and qualifications.
When I was the Director of Human Resources for the Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development, I got to work directly with Stephen for over five years. We had an extremely complex human resource case that required Stephen's leadership. Our case could have easily taken a different course but because of Stephen's due diligence and trust he placed with me as the subject matter specialists, we prevailed in every case.
I personally experienced Stephen outstanding qualities. He listened to understand. He wasn't quick to judge or comment until he thoroughly understood the situation. He asked great questions and provided great ideas. Throughout the process, I saw how compassionate Stephen was about people and was instinctively fair. He could have taken the hard line at any time, but instead, he chose to be respectful and transparent.
Stephen has proven experience in many areas with people/employees, budget and community outreach. He has a lot of energy with a can-do attitude. He is also a person with integrity, a thoughtful problem solver, and a doer.
As Mayor of Olympia, Stephen's leadership skills and personal attributes will make a positive difference in this city.
I believe that Stephen Buxbaum is an excellent choice for Mayor of Olympia. As a former colleague and subordinate of Stephen's for approximately 7 years, at CTED, I watched as Stephen thoughtfully and strategically developed a vision. As part of his team, I then witnessed and participated in systematically developing the goals, establishing key relationships and successfully implementing a comprehensive and effective set of programs that impacted and supported many citizens in the state of Washington. My experience with Stephen is that he is a highly intelligent, respectful, supportive person deeply committed to public service. Given my experience, I believe Stephen Buxbaum would be an exceptional Mayor for the City of Olympia.
I'm writing because I live just outside city limits and love Olympia and the South Sound region. I can see that Stephen Buxbaum's leadership is needed now. The quality of our future depends on it.
Stephen Buxbaum is an excellent public servant.
Buxbaum and I worked for the same state agency.
He is extremely competent in financial management. He is creative and works to meet multiple interests and needs with a very limited budget.
Stephen understands budget issues and he can make tough decisions after hearing from and listening to citizens.
Buxbaum is a collaborator. He actively seeks to learn about and understand the needs of various interest groups and he works to achieve consensus.
Buxbaum remains open to alternatives even when the discussion among competing groups becomes heated.
I watched him build an outstanding and successful organization.
He dealt with all issues, including those he inherited from others, and resolved them promptly.
Plus, he installed good business practices to ensure past problems would not recur.
Buxbaum did this while focusing on the cautious use of the taxpayers' dollars.
Stephen Buxbaum is what Olympia needs. He will support citizens and ensure the public is heard.


Each day, you will drink 6 bottles (16 oz/473 ml each) of fresh, raw, nutritious, cold-pressed juice of different varieties. This is a classic, all-liquid juice diet. People find these juices satisfying and filling, which is part of the reason juice diets are so popular. Although this is often called a "juice fast" or "juice cleanse", you are not actually depriving your body, but flooding it with highly nutritious, delicious, raw (enzyme-rich) plant-based food. The juice order above is our recommended daily order, but feel free to rearrange to suit yourself!
Liquid Sunshine is a FRESH juice diet plan, produced 2 days a week (Tuesdays & Fridays). You will be asked to request a production day at checkout.

Kansas City, MO — February 2, 2017 — Hunt Midwest has closed on the sale of two hotel sites within Hunt Midwest Commerce Center, a 140-acre commercial development located near I-435 and Parvin Road. The transactions will result in the construction and opening of a 90-room SpringHill Suites by Marriott and a 126-room Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites in 2018.
The new hotels will join more than 15 successful businesses within Hunt Midwest Commerce Center, which is part of Hunt Midwest's 2,500-acre, master-planned development straddling I-435 near Parvin Road. Two additional restaurant sites remain available at HMCC, which has seen an uptick in recent retail activity including a new QuikTrip store, remodeled Wendy's restaurant and new Taco Bell.
KMG Hotels will operate the SpringHill Suites by Marriott, which it is developing under the name of Park Hospitality LLC. Groundbreaking for the 90-room, all-suites hotel and 1,500 square feet of meeting space is expected this spring with completion in May of 2018, according to Jay Koshiya, KMG Hotels partner and owner.
Elite Hotel Group, LLC will own and operate a new 126-room Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites, which will include 4,500 square feet of meeting space, a full-service restaurant and sports-themed bar. Elite Hotel Group is owned by Larry Patel and John Edmiston. Groundbreaking is expected early in the second quarter, with an opening planned for the fall of 2018.
The new Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites will be located one block south of the existing Holiday Inn, which is expected to remain open but will operate under a different hotel name when it is removed from the Holiday Inn system later this year.
Hunt Midwest Commerce Center offers direct access to MO-210, I-435, I-35, I-70 and I-29 and is located just 10 minutes from downtown Kansas City and 20 minutes from KCI. HMCC is home to Vatterott College, seven hotels, and several restaurants and retail stores.

Almost all of us have been deceived by someone or the other in our lives. Partners are no longer loyal to each other. Every second person out there has been through a heartbreak. Breakups create broken lives. And sometimes societal norms create barriers in love. Two souls cannot freely express their love to each other because of such barriers.
Yet, some stories do have a happy ending.
I am a Jaat girl. I was born and brought up in Delhi. Most typical Jaat families have to follow a strict set of rules.
But my parents loved me enough to give me all the freedom that I yearned for. In fact, I knew that they loved me more than my younger brother.
We faced quite a few financial crunches initially. But my mother is an excellent homemaker. We could pass through our most difficult phase only because we loved one another so much.
I am an average looking girl. But I am very romantic at heart. I never showed this to the outside world because I did not want to let my family down in any way. I got into several relationships when I was a teenager. But none of these relationships lasted for long.
The boy I fell in love with first, left me with a broken heart because I was not quick enough to respond to his love.
I then fell in love with another guy. We kept in touch with each other for three years. And all through these three years, I hoped he was really interested in me. He then got into the army. So now we could talk to each other only once a week. Sometimes we spoke to each other only once in a fortnight. I was loyal to him. But he did not tell me that he loved me even after three years.
I then realized that maybe he was not really very interested in me. I assumed that men found it difficult to express their love to their loved ones.
I went through a lot of ups and downs after this.
I longed to be loved by someone.
I then finally met a tall, smart, interesting guy. We had been in a relationship only for two months when I realized that he had started abusing me. One day, he wrote me a long message. He stopped talking to me for several days after this. So I decided that I would never get back to him.
He was the last person that I loved. I felt I was finally free from the bond of love. I did not have the courage to go through any more upheavals in my life. I felt as if I had been set free – to enjoy my life finally. I would no longer get hurt.
But the next boy who came into my life was extraordinary. Initially, he came across as a very ordinary boy to me. Sushant (I have changed his name here) sent me a friend request on Facebook. He was in the navy. I had always loved the way defence personnel led their lives. I felt they always carried themselves with pride. I respected their lifestyle and appreciated their romantic attitude.
Sushant was a guy with average looks. But he was keenly interested in me. I had just finished appearing for my semester exams. I was taking a much-needed break at home. I too started responding to him eagerly.
I sensed that there was something different about him. He was definitely interested in me but he did not stalk me on social media. In time, I grew fond of him. He also seemed to have developed a liking for me.
One day, Sushant insisted that we meet. I was reluctant to do so but finally gave in to his wishes. We had decided to meet at Saket. I reached there on time but he was late.
But when I saw him for the first time, I could feel the magic in the air. I was very conscious of myself. But he was very confident about himself.
We watched a movie and then had our dinner. I had kept my hair clutch on the table while we were having our dinner. When we finished our dinner, I realized that my hair clutch was missing.
After we had our dinner, I dropped him at the metro station. I was just about to leave when he extended his hand towards me. He had something in his hand. He asked me to open his fist. I did so…and found my hair clip in his palm.
He then said, "You look good when you leave your hair loose." I could feel myself blushing at that time.
We have never looked back after that day. We don't really meet very often because he is in the merchant navy. He is away from home for six months.
But the love that we have for each other has only grown stronger. It has also brought us closer to each other.
We have been together for four years now. We have decided to get married on the date that we first met. Our families too have supported our decisions. Yes, we did go through a lot of ups and downs in our relationship too but Sushant has always stood by me. His love for me is obvious. My perspectives on life have changed for the better after meeting him. I know that he appreciates the beauty of my soul.
Don't give up on love when you get hurt. Nurture the beauty that lies in your soul. Love will always find its way back to you.
It's those tiny little gestures of affection, care and concern that make all the difference in our love and life. Such warm love filled gestures unfailingly light up our faces with a beatific smile whenever we think of them. They remain etched in our memories forever. Let's share this lovely story and learn to be receptive to love at all times of our lives. Let's make it a point to express our love for others through such tiny warm gestures.
Nothing can match that feeling of contentment.

Good fat: As well as adding flavour and taste, olive oil is one of the healthiest fats you can eat. Introducing good fats into the diet will help fill you up and mean you're less likely to reach for refined sugary snacks or processed fats throughout the day.
Anti-inflammatory: Olive oil when produced to a high standard is rich in polyphenols and antioxidants. These rich properties will reduce inflammation in the body, wether that's in the brain or the gut. Meaning that it will contribute towards helping to reduce disease, bloating, common health issues.
Mediterranean miracle: According to the book that I'm currently reading Clever Guts by Dr Michael Mosley, the Mediterranean diet can cut the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, breast cancer and can even stop the brain from shrinking.
Anti-Cancer Properties: Mediterranean countries have a lower risk of some cancers, researchers believe that olive oil may be the reason. The antioxidants in olive oil can reduce oxidative damage due to free radicals, which is believed to be a leading driver of cancer.
Anti-bacterial: Olive oil contains nutrients that can reduce or eliminate harmful bacteria. One of these is Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that lives in your stomach and is thought to be a contributing factor to the cause of stomach ulcers and stomach cancer.
The Nyons Cooperative was created in 1923 and boasts a vast array of produce primarily the traditional olive oil, which is simply beautiful- like they've bottled the glow of the Mediterranean sunshine. I also loved the Confit' olive perfect for a healthy snack. To shop the NyonsOlive range and to learn more, head over to their website.


The Bank of Albania (BoA) decided on February 27th to keep its key policy rate unchanged at 3.75% after the last cut in January of 25bps. The BoA estimates that its current monetary policy is sufficient to achieve the medium-term inflation target, as well as to stimulate domestic economic activity and demand.
In its Winter Forecasts, the European Union estimates that Bulgaria's economy will recover in 2013, with an annual growth rate of 1.4% and 2.0% in 2014 due to increased domestic demand, while exports will continue to negatively contribute to real GDP. Additionally, the fiscal sector is expected to remain strong and stable.

Q: Show documents from Array with MongoDB I would like to "create" new documents, to keep only the contents of the activities.
I've looked at $project and $unwide, but I didn't find any appropriate result.
Here is my MongoDB query:
  const activities = await friendModel.aggregate([
    {
      $match: {
        $or: [
          {
            ReceiverId: ActorId,
            Status: 1,
          },
          {
            RequesterId: ActorId,
            Status: 1,
          },
        ],
      },
    },
    {
      $set: {
        fieldResult: {
          $cond: {
            if: {
              $eq: [ "$ReceiverId", ActorId ],
            },
            then: "$RequesterId",
            else: "$ReceiverId",
          },
        },
      },
    },
    {
      $lookup: {
        from: "activities",
        localField: "fieldResult",
        foreignField: "ActorId",
        as: "activity",
      },
    },
    {
      $unwind: {
        path: "$activity",
        preserveNullAndEmptyArrays: true
      }
    },
    { $sort: { "activity._Date": -1 } },
    { $skip: request.pageindex * 3 },
    { $limit: 3 },
  ]);

Here is what I would like to do: https://sourceb.in/7u0tirIstt
Here is what I get for the moment: https://sourceb.in/Ped2xY5Ml8
Thank you in advance for your help!

A: You should be able to add $project as follows:
...
 {
  $project: {
      "_id":"$_id",
      "ActivityId": "$activity._id",
      "ActorId": "$activity.ActorId",
      "Type": "$activity.Type",
      "_Date": "$activity._Date",
      "MovieId": "$activity.MovieId",
      "FriendId": "$activity.FriendId",
      "ContestId": "$activity.ContestId",
      "LookId": "$activity.LookId",
      "__v": "$__v"
  },
},
...

You can access values with $, and map nested values by accessing them directly
Also would recommend you doing a limit before you do lookup to speed it up a bit
