El-Hamalawy doesn't understand nonviolence
Eric Stoner	May 5, 2011
Creative Commons Created with Sketch.
In a recent article for NL-Aid, influential Egyptian journalist and blogger Hossam el-Hamalawy, whose writings I often like, reveals his deep ignorance about how nonviolent action works. He writes that:
One of the biggest myths invented by the media, tied to this whole Gene Sharp business: the Egyptian revolution was "peaceful." I'm afraid it wasn't. The revolution (like any other revolution) witnessed violence by the security forces that led to the killing of at least 846 protesters.
But the people did not sit silent and take this violence with smiles and flowers. We fought back. We fought back the police and Mubarak's thugs with rocks, Molotov cocktails, sticks, swords and knives. The police stations which were stormed almost in every single neighborhood on the Friday of Anger–that was not the work of "criminals" as the regime and some middle class activists are trying to propagate. Protesters, ordinary citizens, did that.
No proponent of nonviolence would ever argue that by using nonviolent action protesters will not face violence from the state. In fact, in most cases, when facing repressive regimes violence should be expected.
Moreover, no one that I know ever claimed that there was absolutely no violence in Egypt. We acknowledged the violence of the protesters on this site and were critical of it.
That said, to argue that it was the "rocks, Molotov cocktails, sticks, swords and knives" that won the day in Egypt is crazy. Could anyone really think that these crude weapons were any match for Egypt's military and security apparatus?
Rather than being a key to their eventual victory, the moments when protesters resorted to violence were the closest points during the uprising that they came to losing control. The throwing of rocks was about as useful strategically in Egypt as it is in Palestine. Such desperate acts distract onlookers from the cause they are fighting for and provide a ready excuse for state repression.
The truth is that most people in Tahrir Square and throughout Egypt did face violence without responding in kind and their nonviolent discipline was a key to their success. If most people had responded with violence the death toll of the revolution would have been dramatically higher and Mubarak may very well have prevailed.

Good thing the Egyptians didn't listen to you, or they'd still be under the thumb of Mubarak and Suleiman. The Egyptians prevailed because they violently uprooted the repressive apparatus of the state when it was necessary to do so. Your reference to the Palestinians is either ignorant, or offensive, I can't tell. The Palestinians have attempted to resort to non-violent on many occasions over the last several decades and it has been ruthlessly suuppressed every time with a substantial loss of life, as most recently demonstrated in recent weeks.

AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am 2022 Betting Favorites
The PGA Tour returns to the Monterey Peninsula this week for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, which will be played in its traditional format after Covid-19 forced the event to play with just professionals in the field on two golf courses instead of the usual three.
This week, the amateurs return as well as spectators for the tournament that Bing Crosby founded in 1937 and that has been played at Pebble Beach since 1947.
It takes place over the Pebble Beach Golf Links, Spyglass Hill Golf Course, and Monterey Peninsula Country Club, with each professional paired with an amateur partner for the first three rounds.
Unlike other Pro-Am events, the top 25 teams in the pro-am standings qualify to play on Sunday regardless of the cut status of the professional partner.
Celebrities, business leaders, and athletes make up most of the amateur field and are one of the big television draws for the tournament, as well as the stunning views that are provided from one of the most beautiful venues in the world. The players rotate through all of the courses during the first three rounds, with all of them finishing at Pebble Beach for Sunday's final 18 holes.
Daniel Berger is the defending champion after he rolled in a 30-foot eagle putt on the 72nd hole to defeat Maverick McNealy by two strokes following a closing seven under par 65. The runner-up finish is tied McNealy's best on Tour, while Jordan Spieth and Patrick Cantlay tied for third, a shot behind McNealy.
Last week, Luke List picked up his first PGA Tour win in his 206th career event, defeating Will Zalatoris on the first hole of sudden death in the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in San Diego. List jumped to fourth place in the FedEx Cup standings, which are led by two time 2021-2022 winner Hideki Matsuyama.
Cantlay has finished third and 11th in the last two AT&T Pro-Am events and is the odds leader at +700. The defending champion, who also recorded a top-five finish in 2020, is next at +1100, followed by Zalatoris at +1800 with Jason Day, who has five consecutive top-five finishes in the tournament at +2000 along with Jordan Spieth, the 2017 winner of the event.
Justin Rose, who had a resurgence last week at the Farmers, is at +2200, while Cameron Tringale has odds of +2500, followed by McNealy at and Seamus Power at +2800.
Other players of note include Nick Taylor, the AT&T Pro-Am winner in 2020, and Stewart Cink at +8000, along with long-time NBC golf analyst and former winner Peter Jacobsen with odds of +1,000,000 at the age of 67.
Betting Favorites Picks
Will Zalatoris knocked on the door last week but fell just short of getting his first PGA Tour win when his birdie putt on the 72nd hole skirted the edge of the cup. He has a strong game, and eventually, quite possibly this week, he'll break through and grab that initial victory.
Last week, former PGA champion Jason Day showed signs that his physical ailments may be coming to an end as he found himself tied for the lead on the back nine of the final round. He ended up one shot out of the playoff and hasn't finished worse than seventh in the AT&T Pro-Am in the last five years.
McNealy already has one runner-up finish this season, and he was also in the hunt last week. He faded to a final round 75 to end up tied for 30th, but he has consecutive top-five finishes at Pebble Beach, which has boded well for future winners in this event.

The waters of the river Ganges have been revered as a gift from the heavens for many centuries, and are still believed by many to grant salvation and health to the living, and offer a direct path to heaven for the dying.
The river itself, and its personification in the form of the goddess Ganga, have featured in the Rig-Veda and in many Hindu legends, and the incredible bas-relief carvings on the famous limestone monolith at Mamallapuram City form one of the most impressive tributes to the sacred river to be found anywhere.
The monolith stands proudly at fifteen feet tall and a hundred long, one of the largest and finest of its kind in the world, and it is smothered in lifelike carvings of humans, elephants, gods and mythical monsters, intertwined and marching in lines across every inch. The rock is divided by a deep cleft, which may once have carried water down from a collecting pool at the top to represent the descent of the Ganges from heaven.
The figures are commonly believed to represent the goddess Ganga and her tributaries and other legendary figures, but the alternative interpretation of the bas-relief as depicting the penance performed by Arjuna in payment for Shiva's help in battle has also been suggested.

Usher's ex-wife Tameka Raymond posted a photo of the former couple's five-year-old son on Thursday, following a scary pool accident in which the child nearly drowned. In the photo, Usher Raymond V appears to be resting peacefully in his mother's arms, surrounded by balloons and flowers in his hospital room.
The photo is further proof that the child is on his way to a full recovery following the accident, which occured when he got his hand stuck in a drain while trying to retrieve a pool toy. The incident re-ignited the custody war between the former couple, who divorced in 2009 and have been fighting each other for custody of their two boys ever since.
Usher was awarded full custody last year, following the tragic death of Foster's 11-year-old son Kyle Glover in a jet ski accident, Foster requested an emergency hearing after the pool accident demanding custody of the boys. She claims her ex, who was not present at the time of the accident but arrived in time to ride with his son to the hospital, is too distracted by work and travel to be a good single parent. Indeed, the image of Tameka comforting and caring for her son following the scare may have been posted as evidence of her relationship with Usher Raymond V, as a doting and caring mother.
According to TMZ, Tameka Raymond tried serve Usher's aunt Rena with a subpoena to testify at the custody hearing today, but Rena couldn't be located. Allegedly, Tameka wanted Rena at the hearing so her lawyers could ask what caused the near-death of her son. Without the subpoena, Rena will more than likely not attend the hearing.
Regardless, it's great to see the five-year-old, who sources claim was laughing and eating yesterday, out of danger.

Animated Harley Quinn: "Some Things Never Change, Quinn"
But Then Again, Some Things Do
Photo: 'Harley Quinn'/Warner Bros.
Animated Harley Quinn: Ever since her debut on Batman: The Animated Series, Harley Quinn has gone on to become one of the most popular characters in the DC Comics universe. The Clown Princess of Crime's profile only went up following the release of Suicide Squad, thanks to Margot Robbie's standout performance. Not long after, concurrent with the production of Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey, we now have Harley Quinn: a separate adult animated series that follows the comedic misadventures of the former Harleen Quinzel.
Developed and executive produced by Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker, and Dean Lorey, the show initially debuted on the DC Universe streaming service before jumping to the more high-profile HBO Max. And if you hadn't heard of this show before, now's your chance to remedy that. Like Birds of Prey, it's raunchy, funny, bloody, and exciting. And it features one of the best portrayals of female friendship in a long while.

Related article: Full Commentary on 'Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey' with Reactions From Stars
To start, the show's jumping-off point isn't that dissimilar from B.o.P: Harley (voiced by Kaley Cuoco, who also executive produces) breaks up with the Joker (Alan Tudyk) and strikes out on her own, assembling a team. With help from her best friend Poison Ivy (Lake Bell), Harley stakes her claim as Gotham's newest supervillain and forms her own crew: the shapeshifting Clayface (also Tudyk), portrayed here as a hammy actor; King Shark (Ron Funches), a bloodthirsty yet happy-go-lucky humanoid shark; Doctor Psycho (Tony Hale), a bitter and misogynistic telepath; and Sy Borgman (Jason Alexander), Ivy's grouchy Jewish landlord and cyborg. Needless to say, misadventures ensue.
A lot of the show's humor is rooted in the mundane: this is a universe where catastrophes happen on a regular basis with heavy casualties, and yet supervillainy is just part of the economy, with realtors, temp agencies, and social media; where superhero-supervillain exploits are part of the celebrity culture, and the supervillain organization Legion of Doom is essentially a corporation, bureaucratic messes and all. In that sense, it's not too dissimilar from something like Adult Swim's The Venture Bros., or to a lesser extent The Boys. Like those shows, Harley Quinn's humor skews very dark, with lots of profanity and gore.

Another source of comedy is the show's interpretations of various classic DC characters. Just to name a few in addition to the aforementioned members of Harley's crew, the show's Batman is portrayed as an unflappable straight man to the show's insanity; Robin is an in-over-his-head brat; Bane is a childish, easily bullied oaf whose voice is a parody of Tom Hardy's from The Dark Knight Rises; and Commissioner Jim Gordon is an unhinged, emotionally needy wreck. Helping things along is the lively voice acting, with Cuoco, Bell, Tudyk and the rest of the cast turning in sharp work. Other notable names include comedians Andy Daly (Two-Face), James Adomian (Bane), Wanda Sykes (Queen of Fables) and J.B. Smoove (Ivy's talking houseplant Frank); Diedrich Bader as Batman; Christopher Meloni as Gordon; Giancarlo Esposito as Lex Luthor; Jim Rash as the Riddler; Alfred Molina as Mr. Freeze; Sanaa Lathan as Catwoman; and Jacob Tremblay as Robin.
All this is well and good, but one of the more surprising things about this show is how layered it can be, especially when it comes to the most important relationship on it: Harley and Ivy's.
By the end of the show's first episode, the creators have made their concept clear: fed up with all the mistreatments and betrayals, Harley walks away from the Joker and is determined to prove him wrong; that she can stand and thrive on her own as a villain. And much of the first season revolves around Harley's efforts to be recruited into the Legion of Doom. This is where Harley and Ivy's friendship comes in. Through it all, Ivy has no real ambition other than being supportive of Harley's goal and occasionally helps her while also serving as a voice of reason, suggesting that Harley doesn't need the Legion's validation to be a great villain. Underneath her misanthropic and cynical veneer, Ivy greatly values Harley: the one person she cares for and can be comfortable around. It's telling that during a journey into Ivy's mind, Harley learns that Ivy's greatest fear is to be betrayed and abandoned by her.

The problem is that Joker persists as the ghost in Harley's life, initially taunting her. While joining the Legion is her goal, on another level it can also be read as an effort to impress him by overshadowing him, despite Ivy's warnings. But in her single-minded goal to achieve supervillain status, she takes Ivy and their crew for granted and nearly drives them away. She does reach a definitive turning point when she realizes that, no matter what she does, Joker will never change: he's an emotionally abusive monster, through and through. Even Batman sees that sympathetically telling Harley the above quote. In essence, the first season depicts how difficult it can be to escape an abusive relationship.
In retrospect, the first season begins with a break-up declaration, and the season finale is about making it stick. Harley starts to take control by rewriting her origin story in her mind: as far as she's concerned, the day she walked out of the Joker's life is the day Harley Quinn's story really began. And in choosing to live for friends who genuinely love and care about her, especially Ivy, she cuts her emotional ties to Joker once and for all and finds happiness.

If Season One was about discovering the value of true friendship, Season Two centers on a more emotionally healthy Harley figuring out what she wants in life. What's interesting is how most of her crew change and grow as well: despite being criminals they start to become more like antiheroes, with lines they won't cross. They're sort of an extension of Harley's true nature; as Ivy tells Harley in the first season, she may be a bad guy but she's not a bad person. And while Season Two begins with Harley's mission of seeking revenge on the supervillains who wronged her, another bottom-line emerges: love.
Harley dismisses the concept of love, having developed a cynical view of it due to her past with Joker; she even questions Ivy's choice of dating goofy supervillain Kite Man (Matt Oberg). But an encounter with Mr. Freeze, whose devotion to his sick wife is genuine, and seeing Kite Man's decency opens her eyes to the possibility of true love. As such, she throws herself into supporting Ivy.
And then Harley and Ivy finally kiss. On a side note, it's quite refreshing how the show and its characters don't make a big deal of their sexuality.
Like any good romantic complication plot, the two try to deny and repress it; Harley in particular makes a terrible, world-threatening choice out of a desire to vent her romantic frustrations, as well as overcompensating in an effort to keep Ivy happy. It's only reinforced when she decides to confess her love to Ivy, only to be rejected despite their obvious chemistry; harking back to her fear of Harley being a flake and abandoning her, Ivy latches onto Kite Man out of a desire for normalcy. By the end of the season, we see how Harley has grown; she's sincerely willing to put Ivy's happiness over her own because she's worth it. Without giving too much away, Ivy comes to her own realization about what she really wants.

This transition from a friendship story to a love story works because of the groundwork laid in the first season. While most shows like to establish the One True Pairing (or OTP) as early as possible (and the comics have long-established Harley and Ivy as a couple), credit to the show's creative team for giving it time to grow. As a result, when Harley and Ivy's story takes that next step, it feels natural and earned and elevates the show. While romantic love can be fulfilling, it's even better with a solid foundation of mutual friendship and respect.
The show has been renewed for a third season. In an interview with Deadline, the show's creators are toying with the idea of further exploring the realities of how Gotham's policing has failed, as well as exploring Ivy's point-of-view and how to be in a good relationship. Either way, they've earned enough goodwill thanks to their strong work on the show (and even an endorsement by The Suicide Squad director James Gunn). So if you're looking for a good mix of gory action and lewd, silly black comedy, this is the show for you. Especially one that, at the heart of it, features a sweet blooming romance between two "villains" you can't help but root for. To quote Kite Man, "Hell yeah".
The first two seasons of Harley Quinn are available for streaming on HBO Max. Season Three is coming soon.

Bayonne Medical Center to expand testing at Veterans Stadium
As tests become more readily available, first responders will be tested
Drive-thru testing centers operate across the county, like in Secaucus.
Bayonne Medical Center, a CarePoint Health hospital, began drive-thru testing of Bayonne residents on March 26, by referral only. However, that expanded to include Bayonne first responders and healthcare workers starting April 1.
The testing site is located at Don Ahern Veterans Stadium, opening daily in Veterans Park behind Bayonne High School at 669 Avenue A. The stadium will be closed each day that testing occurs, weekdays from 10 a.m. until approximately 3:30 p.m.
During the testing, authorized scripted patients can drive up and be tested, while remaining in their cars throughout the entire process. No testing will occur outside any vehicle.
Because of the limited availability of screening tests, the procedure is only for patients scheduled for COVID-19 screening by CarePoint doctors. Only motorists with a valid prescription from a CarePoint doctor and an appointment will be admitted.
Residents are advised not to come without an appointment and script from their doctors.
Only symptomatic patients will be tested. If more tests became available, CarePoint will begin more widespread testing.
Now that more tests are available, the pool of residents who are eligible to be tested has expanded to include first responders and healthcare workers. According to the Bayonne Office of Emergency Management (OEM), more test kits are expected to arrive in the city the week of April 6.
Upon receipt of the test kits, the next step would include the expansion of COVID-19 testing to patients of all doctors in Bayonne.
However, OEM stated that the city will not start testing asymptomatic people anytime soon. Only those with symptoms will be tested.
Neighborhood concerns
Veteran's Stadium is in a residential area on Avenue A, lined with traditional box homes. The site may raise questions among locals regarding traffic and the spread of the virus.
Despite the proximity to residential areas, OEM said there is no cause for concern for residents who lives near Veteran's Stadium.
According to OEM, medical professionals have confirmed that residents cannot contract COVID-19 from someone driving past their houses. OEM noted that there won't be lines of cars in any residential areas.
OEM advised residents to stay home and remain calm as the number of cases of COVID-19 in Bayonne continues to climb in the coming days.

Midnight Storm, Classic Empire give Pioneerof the Nile powerful Breeders' Cup tandem
Pioneerof the Nile has a pair of division leaders set to contest the Nov. 4-5 Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita Park, with Midnight Storm slated for the Breeders' Cup Mile (G1) and Classic Empire in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1).
Pioneerof the Nile, with eight black type winners and five Graded Stakes winners this year, is the leading Fourth-Crop Sire of 2016. He has had one Breeders' Cup starter to date, the incomparable American Pharoah, who capped his 2015 Horse of the Year campaign with a dominating score in the Breeders' Cup Classic (G1).
Midnight Storm, who is a multiple graded winner on the turf this year, was entered in both the Mile and Dirt Mile (G1), with preference actually given to the latter. Midnight Storm's win in the Shoemaker Mile (G1) on the Santa Anita turf assured the 5-year-old a spot in the turf should his connections choose that race, which runs on Nov. 5. The Dirt Mile, on Nov. 4, drew only 11 entries, meaning that all entered can run.
Classic Empire is also assured of a spot in the gate in the Nov. 5 Juvenile. The $2 million race at 1 1/16-miles drew 12 2-year-olds. Classic Empire, trained by Mark Casse for John Oxley, has won all three of the races he finished, including the Breeders' Futurity (G1) at Keeneland on Oct. 8. The colt's only blemish came when he unseated his rider at the start of the Hopeful S. (G1), where he was the 8-5 favorite off his victory in the Bashford Manor S. (G3).
The questions about which race Midnight Storm will run in will be answered Oct. 31, when the official post positions for the Breeders' Cup will be drawn.


Removed by crashfly. Rectifying an error.
Better yet, why don't you create your own thread about the problems with your own self created "add-on"?
@crashfly, I think you might be a little confused. abbodi1406 DID create his own thread, this one, about his own 'self created "add-on"', which he made with help and advice from Ricktendo, and abbodi1406 is not the one having problems with it, mattew is. Did you think that this was one of Ricks's threads, either this one or this one? They are all named very similarly so it would be an easy mistake to make. I have almost made the same mistake myself. You are correct that Rick makes silent installers, which I personally prefer, but, though I haven't used this one myself, I believe that abbodi1406's entry is an addon, at least it is named as one and Rick did not dispute that designation. And in this three page thread no one else has disputed it either.
My apologies on that bphlpt. I got a little exuberant on people complaining about stuff in the wrong thread. That and I jumped all over the wrong person.
As for mattew, he should post in the appropriate thread (or create his own). In that post he should include more information about what he was trying to do.
Originally I thought all the updates were listed in the 1st post spoiler, but I think that info is about a previous version?
EDIT: I'm sure abbodi1406 will clarify the next time he's on.
Thanks bphlpt. I guess, it only has 1 hotfix(kb2908383).
Pardon my ignorance, but do i need to install 4.5 and THEN 4.5.1 or it is enough with 4.5.1? normally you need all net versions, but I believe that 4.5.1 completly overwrites 4.5, so I dont need to install 4.5, Am I right?
Yes, .NET 4.5.1 completely replaces 4.5 and 4.0, so it would be the only one you need to install.
Im very interest in this addon, but the files are down.
Can u please reupp or better mirroring at dropbox or anything other stable storage server/ torrent?
Exist any differents between this and ricks installer? Example Updates?
This was made using Rick's hep and guidance. AFAIK, the essential difference is this is an addon while Rick's is a silent installer. Once installed, the results should be the same.
That are realy good news.
Ricks one is my favorite, and now i have also a preinstall option. Great!
Good Jobs, keep it up, guys!
Exist maybe also an addon for the VBCFJRedist_AIO_x86_x64 - One?
Greetings, i've been a "rather long time lurker" over here, found most of answers just by sifting though the forums but alas some things require me to post.
I've got a few questions regarding this addon, rather simple really.
1) Is it possible to "deintergrate" this addon to replace it with a new'er one when it comes out? I ask this because as far saw it, the previous versions of this addon remained inside of the target installation disc without replacing the previous one's.
2) Can i completely remove the default Net framework 3.5.1 that resides within the installation disc and then just integrate this addon?
(2) Unlike in XP, earlier ".NET's" are now part of the OS, and are not designed to be removed, though I think they can be. And like XP, while .NET 4.5.1 completely replaces 4.5 and 4.0, it does not totally replace 3.5.1 and earlier in the sense that if you did remove 3.5.1 and earlier from your Win7 install, and a poorly written app looked specifically to see if 2.0 or 3.0 or 3.5 was installed, that app would fail even if you had 4.5.1 installed. At least that's the way I understand how things work.
For (1), I'll let abodi1406 or someone else that knows more than I do about this particular addon answer that definitively, but my opinion is that when you do a new build each month or whatever, and you have new hotfixes, addons, tweaks, etc., you are better off starting from scratch, rather than trying to remove the outdated ones and add the new ones in their place.
Well, that pretty much answers all of my questions and even more. Thanks for input guys, now i know what exactly needs to be done.

The commitment of Bios Line
Respect and love for Man, the Earth and its fruits guide our work because it is from Nature that our philosophy of wellbeing originates.
There are many projects aimed at helping the environment and good practices to which Bios Line is committed, in practice, every day:
Zero Impact Ambassador®
Bios Line is involved in the LifeGate's Zero Impact® project. The CO2 emissions created by the company's activities are compensated by carbon credits generated by the creation and the protection of growing forests.
Since 2008 we have been part of Zero Impact®, the LifeGate's project. Zero Impact® calculates, reduces and offsets the CO2 emissions generated by activities, products, services and events by contributing to the creation and protection of forests growing both in Italy and around the world. We have therefore made our business Zero Impact® for the past 8 years, contributing to the protection of an annual average of 74,000 m² of forest in Costa Rica and Madagascar. Zero Impact® has given us the opportunity of being fully aware of the environmental impact of our business, improving our sustainability path communicating it at its best and, obviously, offsetting our CO2 emissions by supporting projects for the creation and protection of growing forests.
Bios Line recycles packaging and uses cardboard rather than plastic when filling the packages. It also promotes the recycling of the used packaging by the points of sale and end consumers. Every time you choose a Bios Line product, you contribute tangibly to safeguarding our Planet.
Bios Line has installed in its headquarter a photovoltaic system with 300 polycrystal solar panels with a 60 kwh power, capable of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 36 tons a year.
Moreover, Bios Line purchases electricity and gas only from renewable sources (GSE [Gestore dei Servizi Energetici] certificate).
Km 0 suppliers and collaborators
Bios Line prefers km 0 suppliers, or suppliers as near as possible to the company's headquarters, with the aim of cutting down on waste and contain CO2 emissions. The same logic is followed also in the choice of collaborators and employees: in fact, next to the high professionalism required to become part of our team, residence near our site is an important plus.
Zero Impact Web®
Bios Line also adheres to the Zero Impact® Web project to contribute to fight global warming. The emissions deriving from the visits to our site will be compensated by the creation and protection of the forests in Costa Rica.
As a matter of fact, even if it has already been done a lot to reduce CO2 emissions, the Internet pollutes too. According to a Greenpeace report, with today's growth rate, in 2020 data centers and communication networks will use about 2,000 kilowatts/hour, about three times their current consumption. For this reason Bios Line has even decided to make its site zero impact. Another way to create awareness and reduce the environmental impact of our daily actions.
Use of FSC paper
For all its printing (catalogues, price lists, information material, promotional leaflets, etc.) and shipping packaging Bios Line uses paper from plantations managed according to environmentally sustainable principles and certified in compliance with the Forest Stewardship Council standards.
Bios Line intends to promote the knowledge and clarity of the information with regard to animal testing. The total ban on testing and marketing cosmetic ingredients and products tested on animals came into force all over the European Union on 11 March 2013 with the new cosmetic regulations No. 1223/2009. After a long process of gradual bans that lasted almost 20 years, the official NO to all tests on animals in the cosmetic sector finally came into being. To guarantee quality, effectiveness and product safety for customers, Bios Line uses methods other than tests on animals, carrying out in vitro or dermatological tests in co-operation with the best Italian universities and supports FRAME – Fund for the Replacement of Animals in Medical Experiments (www.frame.org.uk).
FRAME focus on finding, researching and promoting alternatives to animals and are working towards a world where non-animal methods are accepted as scientific best practice. The charity is dedicated to the development of new, valid and ethical scientific methods that will replace the need for laboratory animals in research.
Bios Line can be found in Healthfood Stores and Pharmacies.

Circadian rhythmicity in a fly model of Alzheimer's disease
Disease Models & Mechanisms 2014 7: e0402
Sleep disruption is an early feature of Alzheimer's disease, the commonest cause of dementia. Molecular oscillators in the central clock neurons that are entrained by light normally control human circadian rhythmicity. Here, to gain insights into sleep/wake cycle abnormalities in Alzheimer's disease, Crowther et al. study the circadian behaviour of transgenic flies that express amyloid beta peptide (Aβ) in their neurons; extracellular amyloid plaques composed of Aβ are a characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. Pan-neuronal expression of Aβ, the researchers report, results in progressive loss of circadian behavioural rhythmicity but does not disrupt the central molecular clock. Instead, Aβ toxicity affects communication of the rhythm to the periphery. Notably, synchronisation of the central molecular clock by exposure to light-dark cycles, although not affecting behavioural arrhythmia, prolongs the lifespan of Aβ flies, thereby supporting the use of light therapy in people with Alzheimer's disease.

Facebook's arrangements with Amazon.com, Apple, BlackBerry and Samsung allowing their devices to access data from the social network's users could further expose Facebook to steep fines and other penalties, experts said.
The practice — which may have occurred without users' full knowledge — drew sharp rebukes Monday from lawmakers who said Facebook has misled them about the way it collects and swaps consumers' data. And it could spark additional scrutiny from the Federal Trade Commission, which is already investigating Facebook for recent privacy mishaps.
"I think the more unauthorized sharing that comes out, the more the FTC is going to be inclined to impose a significant civil penalty on Facebook," said David Vladeck, a top official at the agency when it punished Facebook in 2011.
Later Monday, Sen. Mark R. Warner (Va.), the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, raised another concern: whether Facebook ever had allowed Huawei and ZTE, two Chinese-based telecom firms, to access Facebook data.
Some in the U.S. government long have argued that China could use Huawei and ZTE to spy on Americans — charges the telecom firms deny. For now, though, Warner has questioned Facebook about any potential relationships, a spokeswoman said. Facebook so far has declined to detail the full list of roughly 60 firms that benefited from access to some of users' data.
Among the partners that Facebook has acknowledged are Amazon, Apple, BlackBerry, HTC, Microsoft and Samsung. Through a combination of legal agreements and software, Facebook "allowed companies to recreate Facebook-like experiences for their individual devices or operating systems," the social giant acknowledged in a blog post Monday. The New York Times first reported on the matter.
An arrangement with Apple, for example, allowed Facebook users to download profile photos for their friends and use them in their iPhone contact lists. Apple contends it did not store the data for itself.
In the United States, the tech giant's treatment of its users' sensitive information triggered new questions as to whether Facebook violated a settlement it brokered with the FTC in 2011 over a different privacy issue. At the center of that consent decree is a requirement that Facebook be more transparent about the data it collects about its users.
The agency is already investigating whether Facebook ran afoul of that accord in another matter — allowing a political consultancy, Cambridge Analytica, to access 87 million users' personal data, including the pages they had "liked" on the site. The potential for additional infractions may only compound Facebook's legal woes.
Vladeck said additional penalties could include a court-ordered monitor of Facebook's business practices, injunctions against particular ways of using of consumers' data or heightened monitoring by the FTC.
In Congress, meanwhile, some Democratic lawmakers on Monday also rebuked Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. In April, multiple committees on Capitol Hill peppered him with questions about Facebook's dealings with Cambridge Analytica. The lawmakers said the new reports only heightened the need for additional scrutiny — in Congress and at the FTC — focused on Facebook's business practices.
"Facebook and other data collectors, including these device manufacturers, should be prepared to come before Congress so that we can get a better grasp of the entire data collection ecosystem," Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. (N.J.), the top Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said in a statement.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) later said in a statement that the incident demonstrated the need to pass comprehensive online-privacy legislation, which she offered earlier this year. "I'm extremely concerned that we are just now learning that even more personal user data was provided without consent," she said.
Legally, Facebook's fate may rest on a few key phrases.
Under the 2011 decree with the FTC, Facebook is required to obtain permission before sharing a user's private information with a third party in a way that exceeds that user's existing privacy settings. The agreement defines "third party" to include a host of other individual entities, potentially including advertisers or appmakers. But it exempts "service provider[s]" who help Facebook carry out basic functions of its site.
"These contracts and partnerships are entirely consistent with Facebook's FTC consent decree," Ime Archibong, Facebook's vice president of product partnerships, in a statement.
In New York, meanwhile, state Attorney General Barbara Underwood also pledged to investigate the matter, adding to the state's existing probe of Facebook's relationship with Cambridge Analytica. "Consumers have the right to know how their personal information is being used, and the companies we trust with our information have a critical responsibility to protect it," Underwood said in a statement.

Current: Congress Moves to End Nation's Family ...
Congress Moves to End Nation's Family Planning Program; Could Leave Nearly 4.6 Million People Without Care
For Immediate Release: June 16, 2015
WASHINGTON, DC -- The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies today issued a 2016 fiscal year funding proposal that would eliminate the Title X Family Planning program, cutting health care — including family planning services, well-woman exams, lifesaving cancer screenings, birth control, and testing and treatments for sexually transmitted infections — that nearly 4.6 million people, including approximately 1.5 million Planned Parenthood patients, currently rely on. The funding bill would also eliminate nearly all federal funding for teen pregnancy prevention and sex education programs.
Statement from Cecile Richards, President, Planned Parenthood Action Fund:
"This is politics at its worst. Cutting the Title X Family Planning program could leave nearly 4.6 million people without care, including women in rural communities and low-income women who rely on Planned Parenthood and other providers for high-quality, affordable care. Eliminating this program means these women could no longer have access to family planning services, well-woman exams, lifesaving cancer screenings, birth control, and testing and treatments for sexually transmitted infections. Simply put, this bill would take away health care from nearly 4.6 million people in this country.
"It is also outrageous that Congress would gut the nation's teen pregnancy prevention and sex education programs, just as we're making historic progress in reducing teen pregnancy.
"Americans want their elected leaders fixing the economy and creating jobs, not taking health care away from women. If Republican leaders in Congress think they can take away millions of women's access to health care and shut down programs that are reducing teen pregnancy without one hell of a fight, they have another thing coming."
When Governor Perry enacted similar massive funding cuts in Texas, women were left without access to preventive health care, including lifesaving cancer screenings, affordable birth control, and well-woman visits. More than 70 women's health centers across Texas were forced to shut their doors, and 54 percent fewer patients were able to receive care through family planning programs. In the words of Diane Dunn, a Planned Parenthood patient from Waco, Texas: "Planned Parenthood helped me when I could not get in anywhere else for care — no one else would help me. I'm now cancer-free. I don't know where I would be without Planned Parenthood."
Planned Parenthood's doctors and nurses provide high-quality, affordable health care to 2.7 million people a year. The effort to eliminate the Title X Family Planning program would shatter the country's public health safety net and jeopardize women's health.
These cuts would impact approximately 1.5 million Planned Parenthood patients who benefit from the Title X Family Planning program, 78 percent of whom live with incomes of 150 percent of the federal poverty level or less, the equivalent of $35,775 a year for a family of four in 2014. Approximately 20 percent of these patients identify as Latino/a; and approximately 15 percent identify as African American.
Eighty-one percent of American voters favor continuing federal government efforts to help women who can't afford it get access to birth control.
Investments in women's health services are not only providing women with more control over their health and their own family planning; they are also a great deal for taxpayers. According to research released by the Guttmacher Institute, for every $1 we invest in publicly funded family planning services, we save $7 in the long run.
This morning, Planned Parenthood Action Fund released a statement urging Congress to protect and build upon investments in women's health rather than use the appropriations process to further restrict women's access to health care. In recent years, appropriations bills have included unrelated and harmful policy riders that undermine women's access to comprehensive reproductive health care — including access to birth control and safe and legal abortion.


Three years ago I would never have thought I would work in engineering construction. Now I feel like I am never going to leave the industry.
When I was at school I focused on art and design, and I did an art foundation course at college, then went on to study fashion at university. It was a brilliant course, but after a year I realised it wasn't really for me, and I didn't want to put all that effort into something that I didn't have a passion for.
After that I didn't know what to do, so I went to work in a call centre for a while before going to a job centre. I was applying for administration and reception roles, when the job centre said there was an opportunity with an engineering solutions provider – Costain. After a pre-employment course and a series of interviews, I was offered a job as a project skills coordinator.
It never occurred to me to work in engineering construction. I thought it was a man's environment, and I had no idea about the vast array of disciplines that people can go into. Now I think it's something everybody needs to look into, because there are so many different roles and opportunities.
The project I work on – the M1 Smart Motorway project J28-31 and 32-35a in Derbyshire and Yorkshire – was the first highways project to apply to be a National Skills Academy for Construction. As project skills coordinator one of my roles is to develop and maintain an Employment and Skills Plan for the project. This is an agreement between Costain and CITB that identifies all the training and development that we intend to do on the project. We are audited every three months by the CITB to ensure we are doing what we said we would in terms of employing local people and providing training and development.
A lot of the KPIs that we are audited against are about our subcontractors. They don't just want to see what we're doing for Costain employees; it's about being inclusive both with our subcontractors and the community.
About half my time is spent working with the community – people from job centres or skills centres – and going into schools. The other half is the training and development side: I co-ordinate skills assessments for all the employees on the project, as well as delivery of training and NVQ assessment.
When I go into schools to talk to students, it is nice to show that I'm a woman working in engineering construction, and that there are jobs in the industry for women – that it makes no difference whether you are a man or a woman. It's also important that we bring people onto the project so that they can see the women who are working on the project in every kind of role.
A lot of sectors have Nationals Skills Academies, and when I started I did think that I could train in engineering construction, and then maybe go into another sector – like retail. But two and a half years on I feel like I'm never going to leave this industry. One reason for that is because it's very much a team, and every day's different. I came from a call centre, where you're working on your own and doing the same things every day, into an industry where everyone's talking to each other and is there to help each other.
I didn't know what to expect when I joined Costain, but now I really am the industry's number one supporter. No-one really talked to me about engineering and construction at school. But because Costain gave me the opportunity, I know that I've got the chance to give others the same opportunity, which is why I'm so passionate about it.

Georgia police chief's wife arrested in drug bust, charged with heroin possession, officials say
Police chief's wife arrested in drug bust, charged with heroin possession, officials say
By: Shaddi Abusaid, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Updated: November 14, 2019 - 2:40 PM
GAINESVILLE, Ga. — The wife of a Georgia police chief was one of three people arrested last week when narcotics agents seized about $6,500 worth of heroin and methamphetamine from a Gainesville home, authorities said.
>> Read more trending news
Samantha Sheri Spillers, the wife of Flowery Branch police Chief David Spillers, has been in the Hall County jail since her Nov. 7 arrest on a heroin possession charge, authorities said.
The bust was organized by Hall County's Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad at the home of Albert Lee Scott and Samantha Ann Shugrue in the 2000 block of Ridgeway Drive, police said last week.
Inside the home, agents discovered about 20 grams of heroin packaged in multiple bags, approximately 5 grams of meth, four Xanax pills, two firearms and $3,000 in cash. Scales, syringes and ledgers to keep track of the alleged drug sales were also seized, according to police.
"Many families have been impacted by addiction and, unfortunately, Chief Spillers has been placed in the difficult position of dealing with his wife's sickness," Flowery Branch City Manager Bill Andrew wrote in an emailed statement to AJC.com. "I have been aware of this situation and have determined it has not been an impediment to Mr. Spiller's performance as Chief of Police."
According to the city, David Spillers joined the department in the summer of 2006. He was promoted to police chief in July 2012.
Samantha Spillers, Scott and Shugrue all remain held at the Hall County jail.
Shugrue is the only defendant who has been given bond, records show. She is eligible for release if she can come up with $4,600.

This book was generously provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.
As always, Regan Ure takes a piece of my soul while reading her exquisite stories. It is no different when I picked up Surviving Slater and started reading the story of Jordan and Slater. She has the ability to transport the reader into another world of romance, angst and complete oblivion!
I was instantly grabbed by this book and couldn't wait to turn the page to find out what would happen next but in the same thought...didn't want this romance to end!
Regan Ure is definitely one of my "one click" authors and will always remain so!


Andy Warhol was born on August 6, 1928. He is considered the pioneer of the "pop art" movement in art. It was an art movement during the 1950s. Fun fact: the pop art movement actually started in Britain during the 1950s, but was quickly initiated in America during the late 1950s.
During his time, Warhol was one of the highest, if not the highest and most prolific commercial artists in New York. His work is considered precious nowadays as well. In 2013, a famously macabre painting by Warhol was sold for $105.4 million, a record for the artist, and the second most expensive piece of art ever auctioned by the Sotheby's auction house.
Pop art is a movement that blurred the line between "high" and "low" forms of art. With that in mind, here are some fun and little-known facts about Warhol.
When he was eight, Warhol suffered from Sydenham's chorea or Chorea minor. The disease causes the patient to have uncontrollable jerking movements, especially affecting his hands, feet, and face. The disease is known as "St. Vitus's dance". When he was young, he had to stay at home for two months. During that time, he absorbed in radio and film, and learned a lot about current events and celebrity news. At the same time, his mother, who was an artist and embroider, game him drawing lessons. It was during this time he was inspired to pursue a career in art. He enrolled in college using the money his father left after his passing.
It was 1961 when Andy first came up with an idea for the pop art concept. Or as he wanted to call it, the concept of using mass-produced commercial goods in his art. He was also the one to give the name Pop Art to the concept. Andy would use commercial images and reproduce them over and over again.
One of his iconic works is the Campbell's Soup cans. He was inspired because he ate the soup for lunch every day for 20 years. So, he painted two hundred Campbell's soup cans repeated over and over. He also had a series featuring Coca-Cola, which he considered a product that equalized humans in society. According to Warhol, both poor and rich men drank the same Coke.
The imprint of Warhol is irreplaceable in art. He was an inspiration to art lovers. The museum in his memory is built in his hometown in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is the largest museum in America solely devoted to the art collection of a single artist. The Andy Warhol Museum has seven floors, 17 galleries, 77 sculptures, 900 paintings, 2000 paper works, 4000 photographs, 1000 prints, and 4350 films and videos. It was visited by 25,000 people on the opening week.
Andy Warhol was one of the first celebrities that were openly gay. He was homosexual and a huge inspiration to the gay community. Homosexuality even influenced his work and shaped his relationship to the art world. His sexuality is often debated. And even though he was a gay, he claimed to be a virgin up until his death at age of 58 years old.
He was also a devout Byzantine Catholic.
Warhol once famously said "good business is the best art". He was a unique type of artist. Unlike many artists that focused on their art, with no interest in becoming popular or making fame and fortune, Andy wanted to be rich and famous. Many of the images he created become iconic in American culture. Some artists even accused him of making art in order to make money.
But while he made paintings that sold for millions, he also brought art to the masses. Andy was known for mass production prints of his art so that it was affordable to everyone.
Andy was more than just a painter. He was also a writer. One of his earliest works for a magazine was his article for "Glamour". He wrote an article with a title Success is a Job in New York".
Warhol was interest in film and music, and produced around 60 films. His first movie was titled "Sleep". What made the movie unique is that it lasted 6 hours, and showed his friend sleeping. Only nine people attended the premiere, two of which left the venue before the movie ended. He also made movies featuring eating. For example, he made a short movie of himself eating a burger from Burger King.
While he was not married, Andy had an item he referred to as his "Wife". It was his recorder. Andy was famous for recording all of his conversations.
Talk about irony. Andy Warhol was left out of the arts club in high school. The explanation? He was more talented than the rest of the members of the club.
