Weaving a Biography. The tapestries in honour of Cosimo I
To celebrate the 500th anniversary of the birth of Cosimo I de' Medici
The exhibition uses the White Room and the Hall of Niches to reconstruct the former arrangement of the tapestries, commissioned by Ferdinando II, in the Hall of Saturn
Nine majestic wool and silk tapestries hanging in the White Room and the Hall of Niches in the Pitti Palace illustrate the key moments in the rule of the first Medici Grand Duke. The exhibition, entitled Weaving a Biography. 17th century tapestries in honour of Cosimo I, sets out to highlight the way in which Ferdinando II de' Medici intended the production of the tapestries between 1653 and 1668 to serve as a dual tribute to the founding father of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.
"Holding an exhibition of tapestries is probably the most fitting way to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the birth of Cosimo I de' Medici – explains Gallerie degli Uffizi Director Eike Schmidt - inasmuch as he was the man who first set up the Tapestry Manufactory in 1545. Moreover, the series of tapestries on display offers us an encomiastic overview of the sovereign's person and achievements with a sequence of episodes exalting Cosimo's central role in the history of the Medici dynasty and in the governance of Tuscany".
The tapestries, which range from five to over eight metres in length, were originally devised for the Hall of Saturn in the Pitti Palace, the heart of sovereign authority which Grand Duke Ferdinando II set aside for his Secret Hearings, ennobling and imparting legitimacy to his own rule with this commission while simultaneously paying tribute to his predecessor.
The precious series tells the story of Cosimo I's public life and most significant achievements in chronological order, from his rise to power through the consolidation of his rule over Tuscany, the architectural transformation of Florence and his relations with papal power, to his foundation of an order of chivalry. Designed by celebrated painters and woven in the manufactory set up by the Duke, the tapestries were intended for display in a thoroughly Baroque triumph of decoration foreshadowing the lavish splendour of the greatest royal palaces of Europe. The result was to be an apotheosis of Medici power, embodied by Cosimo, amid the gilding and stucco work of Giovan Battista Frisone and the frescoes of Ciro Ferri depicting The Ideal Prince Borne Aloft between Prudence and Valour towards Glory and Eternity. Ultimately, only six of the eight tapestries woven were actually hung, and they have been identified by their dimensions. The seventh and eighth in the series, devoted to relations with the monarchies of Europe, are on display in the Hall of Niches in order to give visitors an impression of the complete set. The original arrangement, recreated in images in the catalogue, points up the importance of this undertaking dedicated to Cosimo: both a tribute from his grandson Ferdinando II who wished to celebrate his forefather and, with him, the whole of the Medici dynasty, and a reminder for us today of the glorious season of the Tapestry Manufactory established in Florence by Cosimo I.

Action Spotlight: Raising awareness of migrant children's rights in Kazakhstan
Actions Asia
For our project in Kazakhstan, more than 10 EU MS shared their practices on the topic of migrant families with children. The development of communications tools is ongoing and will help our partners to provide better protection to the migrant families with children.
Kazakhstan is a country of origin, destination and transit for many migrants in Central Asia. According to the World Bank (2021) in the post-Soviet region, Kazakhstan ranks third in the number of migrants received after Russia and Ukraine, attracting close to four million migrants, mostly from Central Asian and South Caucasus countries owing to increasing demand for both high-skilled labour in industry, business and education, and low-skilled labour in the agriculture and construction sector.
Despite a simplification of registration procedures in 2016, many labour migrants still end up working irregularly as many labour migrants from Central Asian countries enter Kazakhstan under a visa-free regime that allowed them to stay legally for 90 days Under this regime, it was not mandatory to register children under the age of 7 with the migration authorities, leading to a lack of data about how many migrant children there were in the country, absence from formal schooling or vulnerability to labour exploitation. This trend exacerbated with the pandemic as many migrants tried to reach and settle in the city and province of Almaty using irregular channels.
Requesting support
Migration authorities and civil society organisations held a number of coordination meetings to address the needs of families with children during the pandemic and demonstrated commitment to continue strengthening inter-institutional cooperation on this issue. It was in this context that the Human Rights Commissioner of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the NGO Centre for Social and Psychological Rehabilitation and Adaptation for Women and Children "Rodnik" requested our support to strengthen the capacities of these stakeholders to protect the rights of migrant families with children in Almaty and the Almaty region.
A series of activities was designed to provide training as well as to present practices and recommendations that will be collected into a Handbook on information campaigns targeting migrants with children. Practices from ten countries in Europe were shared during several Knowledge Exchange Sessions in spring of 2022 to inspire Kazakh stakeholders in their own endeavours. In the coming months, practical workshops will equip the partners with new skills to develop new communication campaigns and strengthen collaboration among all parties.
In a mid-Action interview held with the partners from NGO Rodnik, they reported learning new information from European countries thanks to the Knowledge Exchange sessions. They will now look to apply these lessons learned, whilst allowing the experts to adapt their recommendations according to the local context.
As a general assessment of the Action, Anna Melenchuk, MIEUX+ Associate Project Officer in charge of this Action stated, "The Action offers practical tools and solutions to partners in Kazakhstan on how to effectively support migrant families with children. Our partners in Kazakhstan exchanged with their peers in the European Union, strengthened inter-institutional coordination on children and migration at local and national level and are now working on information campaign to inform migrant families with children about their rights in Kazakhstan. All these efforts will surely lead to better protection of migrant families with children in Almaty city, Almaty region and in the whole Kazakhstan."
Download the Knowledge Sheet to see the European practices:
Migration statistics (available in English and Russian)
Regularisation of migrant families with children (available in English and Russian)
Going beyond the Action
The partner also reported that they were already sharing the recommendations from the report with their Central Asian partners and that they were willing to publish little bits of information on their website and social media channels for wider distribution. They are also discussing with their partners how some of the lessons learnt during the knowledge-exchange sessions could be applied in Kazakhstan. Moreover, they remarked that through this Action they were able to strengthen the relations with their partners in Central Asia and the EU and got new ideas for further collaboration with them beyond MIEUX+.
It is expected that after piloting the information campaign at local level, partner authorities would hold the campaign at local and national levels. In order to assist the partners in their endeavour, a Communication Plan is being developed by the MIEUX+ experts selected for this Action and will be presented before the end of the Action to the key stakeholders. The Action is also line with GCM objectives 3-7, 9, 10, 18, 22 and 23.
Our experience in protecting the rights of children in migration
Our experience on this topic has been forged through several Actions mainly in the region of Latin America and the Caribbean. This topic is often cross cutting and children in migration are often part of one of multiple target groups as beneficiaries of Actions. It was in Brazil where we had an Action specifically targeting children, during the 2018-19 large flows of migrants hailing primarily from Venezuela support the Public Defender's Office of Brazil by training 80 government officials in interviewing techniques for international protection applicants, especially children.

ISIS Mastermind: 'Islam Is Coming'
Updated Apr. 14, 2017 10:11AM ET / Published Aug. 31, 2015 7:59AM ET
The man who orchestrated as many as 15 suicide bombings on behalf of ISIS in Baghdad told The Guardian that his attacks left as many as 100 people dead, and that he would pray with bombers before their attacks. Ibrahim Ammar Ali al-Khazali, also known as Abu Abdullah, had been the group's "emir of Baghdad," and said even attacks that killed primarily women and children didn't trouble him for more than a day. "Islam is coming," he said, when asked about a message to the West. "What the Islamic State has achieved in the past year cannot be undone. The caliphate is a reality."

GoFundMe Account Set Up For Family Of Special Needs Teen Who Died
By Charlie De Mar January 26, 2017 at 11:35 am
Filed Under:drowning, GoFundMe
CHICAGO (CBS) — A GoFundMe account has been made for a 14-year-old boy with special needs who drowned in the pool at Kennedy High School.
As of Thursday morning, the account has raised $3,200 for Rosario Gomez's funeral expenses.
Gomez was pulled unconscious from the Southwest Side high school's pool around 1:20 p.m. Wednesday. When the Chicago Fire Department got there, they continued CPR and rushed him to the hospital, where he later died.
An autopsy on Thursday found that Gomez drowned. The medical examiner has ruled his death as an accident.
CBS 2's Charlie De Mar reports.
Angeline Lopez was in the pool during the incident. She saw authorities trying to revive Gomez.
"I'm super sad because he was such a sweet kid, always giving out hugs and always giving out high fives," she said.
Students were reportedly on lockdown Wednesday as police investigated what led up to the 14-year-old's death.
Chicago Public Schools released a statement saying their thoughts and condolences were with Gomez's family. They are also conducting their own investigation. Crisis supporters were sent to the school to offer support to students and staff as well.

Instant Recap: Warriors Run Away With Game Five 98-78
May 13, 2015; Oakland, CA, USA; Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30, right) celebrates after making a three-point basket against Memphis Grizzlies guard Courtney Lee (5) during the first quarter in game five of the second round of the NBA Playoffs at Oracle Arena. Mandatory Credit: Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports
With the series shifting back to the Oracle, the Golden State Warriors are happy to have a loud and disruptive atmosphere back. After winning a pivotal game 4, Steph Curry will look to lead the Warriors back in front. Keep your eye on David Lee as he earned more trust and minutes with his last outing. Tony Allen was questionable and missed tonight's game which may alter the game plan.
The Grizzlies were the first to draw blood and Klay Thompson wanted to respond, but his first two shots didn't fall. The Warriors were sloppy early and turned the ball over twice. Zach Randolph took advantage and scored the first six points. After yet another missed jumper from the Warriors, Randolph surprisingly hit a triple, which gave the Grizzlies an 11-4 lead. The Warriors could not buy a basket and it didn't help that they kept giving the ball away. The Grizzlies on the other could not miss, everything was going in. Randolph had nine points and Memphis was shooting 63 percent. The Memphis offense was clicking and Playoff Barnes was the only positive thing about the Warriors. Lackluster start for the Dubs, which was disappointing considering the magnitude of this game. The Grizzlies were up 10, but the Warriors turned on the switch. The Warriors went on a 11-0 run to end the quarter and they led 26-25 going into the second.

Klay hit a bucket to start the quarter after missing his first four shots. They traded baskets for the first three to four minutes of the second quarter and the Warriors kept a two point lead. Barnes continued his stellar play and a corner triple gave the Warriors a 41-35 lead. Mike Conley came out of the timeout and scored quickly, but the both offenses stalled a bit. The Warriors came back to score four points, which gave them their biggest lead of the game at nine. The Grizzlies just could not keep up with the Dubs. Curry hit a triple to give them their first double digit lead. The pace was in favor of the Warriors and the Grizzlies could no longer find the basket. The Grizzlies hit two buckets to end the half and the lead was down to 8. Steph Curry finished with 15 points in the first half.

Harrison Barnes showed he was okay by starting the half with a bucket. The lead was back to 10, but it was short lived because Randolph hit a floater. The Grizzlies cut it down to six with a Jeff Green jumper, but the Warriors came roaring back with a 4-0 run with buckets from Barnes and Draymond. Thompson was having an off night so far, but Barnes picked up the slack. He hit a triple to give the Warriors a 12 point lead. Klay was doing an excellent job on Mike Conley, which is something crucial for the Dubs. The Grizzlies had plenty of chances to get back into this game, but could not convert. The Warriors weren't playing great, but just good enough to have the lead. Curry hit his sixth three of the game and the 11th for the Warriors to once again put them up by 12. The Warriors then blew the game open with a 12-2 run and now the lead was up to 17. With one quarter left, the Warriors had a 74-57 advantage.

The Grizzlies needed a miraculous comeback to win this game and they started with bucket from Jeff Green. However, the Warriors kept their foot on the gas and they raised the lead to 20 with a Thompson triple. The teams were trading baskets and with a 20 point lead, the Warriors were fine with that. This game was getting out of hand. The Grizzlies would make a shot and the Warriors would come right back to score two. Klay Thompson hit a triple and got the foul to complete the four point play. The lead was now up to 24. Thompson found his stroke late, which is a good sign for Game 6. At this point, it was all about running out the clock. The Warriors win.

Abstract A new non-hadrosaurid hadrosauroid dinosaur (Datonglong tianzhenensis gen. et sp. nov.) is reported. The new taxon is recovered from the Upper Cretaceous Huiquanpu Formation of Tianzhen County, Shanxi Province in northern China, and represented by an almost complete right dentary with dentition. Different from all other hadrosauroids, Datonglong possesses two functional teeth in each alveolus, and the pattern of ridge development on the lingual surface of its dentary crown shows a unique combination of character states (for example: distally offset primary ridge; well-developed secondary ridge; no additional ridge(s); slightly distally curved apical half of primary ridge). Comparative studies indicate advanced non-hadrosaurid hadrosauroids experienced a complex pattern in the evolution of their dentary, especially dentary dentition. Derived hadrosaurid features occurred frequently in these taxa, such as high height/width ratio of tooth crown in Bactrosaurus, one primary and one faint ridges in Gilmoreosaurus, median placed primary ridge in Zhanghenglong, rostrally inclined coronoid process in Nanningosaurus, and two functional teeth in each alveolus in Datonglong. This implies incredible diversities and attempts close to the origin of Hadrosauridae and difficulties to elucidate their phylogenetic relationships.

Narendra Singh Tomar flags off helicopter services for locust control through aerial spray
New DelhiBJP NationalKailash Choudhary
By Rashtra Baan News Last updated Jul 2, 2020
New Delhi : Union Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare Minister, Narendra Singh Tomar today flagged off a Bell Helicopter with spray equipment from a helipad facility at Gautam Buddh Nagar, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The helicopter will fly for Air Force Station at Uttarlai, Barmer where it will be stationed initially and from there deployed for locust control in desert areas of Barmer, Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Jodhpur and Nagaur. The Bell 206-B3 helicopter will have single pilot operation, has a pesticide carrying capacity of 250 litres in one trip and can cover about 25 to 50 hectare area in one flight. An Empowered Committee finalized the firm for deploying one helicopter for aerial spray in desert area after getting all the clearances from DGCA and Ministry of Civil Aviation. Later, interacting with the media, Shri Narendra Singh Tomar said that after a long gap of 26 years, last year locust attack took place. Government of India and State Governments worked in coordination to effectively control it. It was estimated that this year there would be greater locust problem, but Government is in full preparedness and all the State Governments have been alerted and are working in close coordination with the Centre. Deployment of machines, vehicles and manpower has been increased and concerned states are utilizing SDRF funds to tackle the problem. Drones have been used for the first time for locust control and today aerial spraying of insecticides with the use of helicopter has also been launched. He expressed gratitude to Ministry of Civil Aviation for enabling the deployment of drones and helicopter. Shri Tomar informed that order has been placed for 05 numbers of aerial spraying machines from a UK-based company, and once these are received, they will be deployed in IAF helicopters and pressed into operation for locust control.
Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Kailash Choudhary, Member of Parliament and former Union Minister Shri Mahesh Sharma, and Secretary, Agriculture Shri Sanjay Agarwal were also present.The deployment of the helicopter for locust control operations follows the need to strengthen air control capabilities for locust control through drones, helicopters and aircrafts. Cabinet Secretary reviewed the locust situation on 27th May 2020 and directed the Ministry of Civil Aviation to assist the Department of Agriculture Cooperation & Farmers' Welfare in facilitating the procurement of goods and services for aerial spray of pesticides through drones, aircraft/helicopter. Thereafter an inter-ministerial Empowered Committee under the chairmanship of the Additional Secretary, Agriculture was constituted for facilitating the procurement of goods and services for aerial spray of pesticides through drones, aircraft and helicopter. Officers of the MoCA, Pawan Hans, DGCA, Air India and DAC&FW are members of the committee.On the recommendation of the Empowered Committee, for effective control of locusts settling on tall trees and inaccessible areas, DAC&FW engaged 5 companies to provide services of drones for locust control @ 5 drones per company. Till now 12 drones have been deployed for locust control in Jaisalmer, Barmer, Jodhpur, Bikaner and Nagaur. India has become the first country in the world to use drones for locust control after finalizing the protocols. Use of Drones has added one additional dimension as it is effective for tall trees and inaccessible areas. One drone can cover 16-17 hectare area in one hour and in 4 hours it can cover upto 70 hectare area. MoCA has further relaxed the terms and conditions of the conditional exemption granted for drone in anti-locust operations and permitted the use of engine-powered drones upto 50kg and use of drones during night times also for anti locust operations.
Presently major strategy of locust control is through 60 control teams with spray equipment mounted vehicles and more than 200 Central Government personnel are engaged in such operations in states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Locust Warning Organization (LWO) and ten Locust Circle Offices (LCOs) of Government of India are situated in Rajasthan (Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Phalodi, Barmer, Jalore, Churu, Nagaur, Suratgarh) and Gujarat (Palanpur and Bhuj), who primarily monitor, survey and control Desert Locust in two lakh square kilometer Scheduled Desert Area of Rajasthan and Gujarat. For effective control of locust beyond Scheduled Desert Areas, temporary control camps of LCOs have been established in Jaipur, Ajmer in Rajasthan, Shivpur in Madhya Pradesh, Fazilka in Punjab and Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh.State Governments undertake control operations deploying tractor mounted sprayers and fire tender vehicles. Starting from 11th April, 2020 till 28th June, 2020, control operations have been done in 2,33,487 hectares in States of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra Chhattisgarh, Haryana and Bihar. No significant crop losses have been reported in the States of Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Bihar and Haryana. However, some minor crop losses have been reported in some districts of Rajasthan.As per the Food and Agriculture Organization's Locust Status Update of 27.06.2020, swarms that accumulate in northern Somalia are likely to migrate across the Indian Ocean to the summer breeding areas along the Indo-Pakistan border. In Pakistan, swarms have already started laying eggs in Sindh and swarms are present in the Indus Valley. Virtual meetings of the technical officers of South West Asian countries (Afghanistan, India, Iran and Pakistan) have taken place on weekly basis. So far 15 SWAC-TOC meeting have been done this year. Technical information related to locust control in the region is being shared.
Resources deployed –
To strengthen locust control capabilities in India, 10 ground spray equipments were imported from Micron, UK, during January, 2020 and 15 equipments in June, 2020. Additional 45 ground spray equipments will reach in the month of July 2020 and Locust Circle Offices have more than 100 ground control equipment by July.
Presently 60 control teams with spray equipment mounted vehicles and more than 200 Central Government personnel are engaged in locust control operations.
55 additional vehicles have been purchased to strengthen the control capabilities.
Approval given for the purchase of 3,00,000 liters of Malathion 96% ULV. Sufficient stock of pesticides is being maintained.

Video Mount Products (VMP) Celebrates 25th Anniversary
Founded in 1994, Video Mount Products Has Consistently Been the Mounting Solution of Choice for the Discerning Customer in the A/V, Broadcast, Communications, and Security Markets
Charles Leib
STEVENSVILLE, Md., Feb. 13, 2019 — A quarter century in the books…and on the wall.
Video Mount Products (videomount.com), a leading provider of mounting solutions for the broadcast, security, commercial, residential, and pro audio/video markets, is proud to announce that it is celebrating its 25 anniversary this year.
"It's amazing to think of all the technologies that have come and gone and the up and down economies since 1994," said Keith Fulmer, president of Video Mount Products and a 33-year industry veteran who joined VMP in 1996. "25 years ago when big and boxy tube televisions were all the rage, VMP quickly became a favorite for mounting these bulky CRT's onto walls and from the ceilings of bars, restaurants, gyms, and other commercial venues. Since then, VMP has evolved along with an ever expanding A/V industry into a leading supplier of flat panel mounting solutions, from installations in educational, institutional, and religious applications to lodging, sports venues, residential, health care, and restaurants."
25 years ago, Stevensville, Md.-based Video Mount Products began as an OEM project to provide mounts for a handful of Maryland electronic distributors whose customers were handling multiple TV installations in small venues. The line began with a product offering of just six items and has evolved into an industry leader now offering nearly 200 SKUs to installation professionals across every facet of the A/V, communications, and security industries.
"While we began strictly offering TV mounts for CRTs, we now provide an extensive line that includes mounts for flat panels and projectors as well as equipment racks and cabinets for data and A/V installs," Fulmer added. "Additionally, we cater to the needs of our wireless and broadband customers with an array of satellite and antenna mounting products."

Custom Orthotics services are offered by Dr. Jeffrey Tuling at both our Stratford and St. Marys locations.
Much like tires on a car give a vehicle a foundation of support for stability and performance, our feet function to do the same for us. When tires get old and worn, and don't offer the same support and stability that they once did, we simply replace them. Unfortunately we cannot replace our feet! Our only option is to give them the correct mechanical support so that they can continue to function as they were intended to. Custom orthotic therapy allows one to correct faulty foot mechanics by normalizing motion and offering shock absorption. Orthotics are mechanical aids that fit into your shoes as comfortably as an insole – and they have the advantage of having been custom made from precise imprints of your feet.
Heel spurs and plantar fasciitis are the most common causes of heel pain. These problems usually occur in foot pronation (feet that roll inward). Pronation forces the heel to strike the ground abnormally, and places abnormal stresses on the heel and plantar fascia that causes pain which will become progressively worse. The custom made orthotic is constructed to allow the heel to strike the ground in the correct manner by eliminating pronation, cushioning the heel, and supporting the arch.
The usual causes of arch pain are flat feet, prolonged standing, walking and running, and the normal aging process. Custom-made orthotics gently support the arch, causing pain to disappear, and ensuring that the arch will drop no further and that the effects of aging on the feet are slowed.
It is no coincidence that many professional athletes use custom-made orthotics. Custom-made orthotics keep the feet in their most efficient alignment, allowing the bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments to work optimally. They also protect the heel, arch, and forefoot from the increased stress that prolonged running and sports activity produce. Whether it is to prevent problems, relieve pain, or increase efficiency, all runners and other athletes benefit from custom-made orthotics.
Due to a thinning of the protective fatty pad on the bottom of the foot, circulatory problems, and loss of sensation or decreased feeling (neuropathy), diabetics encounter more severe foot problems than non-diabetics. Pressure sores, chronic painful areas, and ulcers are best treated with supportive custom-made orthotics featuring modern materials that can eliminate pain, protect painful areas, and decrease the chance of ulcerations occurring.
The aging process affects the feet and ankles just as it affects every other part of the body. The muscles, tendons, and ligaments become loose and weaker; bones lose calcium reducing their strength; and the fatty pads on the bottoms of our feet, which protect and cushion the bones, become thinner and can nearly disappear. Custom-made orthotics will gently support the bones of the feet. There are special materials used in the construction of custom orthotics that can mimic the foot's natural fatty pad and eliminate the pain of protruding bones and bone spurs. Custom-made orthotics can also keep the foot from turning and twisting while walking, making each step secure and pain-free resulting in less falls.
If your feet are not giving your body a balanced and efficient base of support, mechanical stress will be transferred to joints away from the feet resulting in painful conditions such as Achilles tendonosis, shin splints, knee pain, hip pain, and low back pain.
The feet are an individual's contact points with the ground, so how they support the rest of the body is critical. Our feet have nearly 100 individual working parts, which all have to function together to provide proper stability and balance. While simple, commercially made devices such as heel cushions, or shock absorbing insoles for shoes can be purchased over-the-counter in drug stores or other retail establishments, they are made for the general public and may not be addressing the specific needs of your feet. The most effective orthotics are custom-designed devices specifically crafted to meet the needs of the particular individual. Mechanical dysfunction in our feet has the ability to put undue stress on other parts of the body, predisposing us to wear and tear and injury. Prevention and correction is key!

BEAUTY NOTES
Ruth Bell, the Model with the Buzz, Reveals Her Beauty Secrets
She can go through a family-sized box of cereal in two days. But that's not the only beauty tip she has to impart.
by Mia Adorante
Photographs by Craig Mcdean, Styled by Max Pearmain
The British model Ruth Bell was doing perfectly fine when she had long hair. She had been working since 2013 – along with her twin sister May – and she booked consistently solid gigs. Then: the buzz cut. For the spring collections in 2015, Bell opted for a dramatic, almost apocalyptic buzz cut and the fashion houses came calling: Versace, Gucci, Etro, and Burberry. She has since grown out the cut, but has kept her hair short. And her career hasn't slowed down, either: the runway regular recently modeled the best capes of the season for Craig McDean alongside legendary supermodel Guinevere van Seenus) in the March 2017 issue of W. Here, the model, who has some 50,000 Instagram followers, breaks down her beauty routine and reveals the scent she stole from the boys.
Describe your look in three words: Very short hair.
Beauty from the inside: I love nuts and legumes — peanuts, cashews, almonds. Also, natural cranberry juice.
Exercise regime: I currently don't have one due to my crazy schedule! Walking to work is probably the most constant routine.
Snack of choice: Cheerios. I can go through a family-sized box of Cheerios in two days. I think it's a skill.
Skincare splurge: Nothing too complex; I cleanse and moisturize in the morning and before I go to bed. That's it!
Ruth Bell photographed by Mario Sorrenti, styled by Melanie Ward; W Magazine March 2016.
Favorite hair professional: Paul Hanlon. He's beyond.
In-tub must-read: I don't really take baths, but I'm reading Ed Stafford's Walking the Amazon right now.
Spa-cation at: To be honest I can't sit still for too long, so spas are not my thing!
Always in your suitcase: Always two bottles of perfume, so I can switch things up — nighttime vs. daytime.
Fragrance of choice: Bleu de Chanel, even though I'm a girl!
Best advice from mom: My mom was the one who inspired me to start cleansing and moisturizing my face. To this day I still use the same cleanser she does, but I change up the moisturizer!
Best advice from the pros: Paul Hanlon showed me what grade to cut my hair, so I've always used that as reference when I do it myself.
Beauty icons: Robin Williams. His humor was beautiful.

New York's Best Street Style Gets a Technicolor, Electrified, Animated Treatment


This past weekend, we headed off to the Washington State Spring Fair. Since we haven't lived here for quite a year yet, we haven't had a chance to check it out in the past and we were quite excited to go. The kids had seen the advertisements and were more than happy to help out with a blog post.
We decided to spend the day there on Friday since my husband was off and we were hoping to avoid bigger crowds on the weekend. We were definitely not disappointed!
What were our favorite things to do?
Dock Dogs diving show - It's us, we love all things with dogs!
Junior Livestock Show - Sensing the animal theme yet? The llamas are my favorite!
La Fiesta de Don Andres Dancing Horses - It was awesome to see how the horses actually dance, and the waiting horses were too.
The weather held out and it was a lovely day to walk around and take in the exhibits. Both kids loved it too and are already making plans for the State Fair in September!
Disclosure: This post was written as a part of my ongoing relationship with US Family Guide. I received tickets to the fair in exchange for my post.

Turkish parliament bans choir that wanted to sing one song in Kurdish
Written on April 21, 2014 by Editor in Kurd news, Kurdistan, Turkey
KT Report:
Civilizations Choir of Antakya
The Civilizations Choir of Antakya has been forced to cancel a special performance for the Turkish parliament on Wednesday due to objections that it was going to sing one song in Kurdish.
The performance was meant to celebrate the anniversary of the foundation of the Turkish parliament on 23rd April. The choir, which has toured the world promoting tolerance through its multicultural and multilingual songs, had been preparing for three months, reports Hurriyet Daily News.
The Kurdish song was one of seven songs chosen to represent the seven regions of Turkey. Choir director Yılmaz Özfırat said: "These seven songs were added to our repertoire for the first time, we were working on them together. There are Kurdish, Zazaki and Arabic songs".
"We are not professional musicians; we are priests, imams, teachers, doctors, Alevis, Sunnis, Catholics, Armenians, Jews – in short, we are citizens of the Turkish Republic and we represent our culture of coexistence," he said.
"Before the opening process began, we said that 'if we don't do something for our brothers, somebody else will.' We duly added Kurdish songs to our repertoire. There are no Kurds in our choir, but we learned Kurdish."
Of the ban of a Kurdish song, he said: "This is disappointing for us …We were surprised when they said we couldn't do it".

Book Review: SYLO by D. J. MacHale
Author: D. J. MacHale
Publication: Razorbill (July 2, 2013)
Description: The ultimate action-fueled end-of-the-world conspiracy trilogy from #1 New York Times bestselling author D.J. MacHale
THEY CAME FROM THE SKY
parachuting out of military helicopters to invade Tucker Pierce's idyllic hometown on Pemberwick Island, Maine.
They call themselves SYLO and they are a secret branch of the U.S. Navy. SYLO's commander, Captain Granger, informs Pemberwick residents that the island has been hit by a lethal virus and must be quarantined. Now Pemberwick is cut off from the outside world.
Tucker believes there's more to SYLO's story. He was on the sidelines when the high school running back dropped dead with no warning. He saw the bizarre midnight explosion over the ocean, and the mysterious singing aircraft that travel like shadows through the night sky. He tasted the Ruby—and experienced the powers it gave him—for himself.
What all this means, SYLO isn't saying. Only Tucker holds the clues that can solve this deadly mystery.
LOOK TO THE SKY
because Pemberwick is only the first stop.
My Thoughts: D. J. MacHale is EVIL! He has written a page-turning thriller narrated by a sympathetic main character and raised more questions than he has answered.
Tucker Pierce is a high school freshman on the island of Pemberwick, Maine. He and his family moved there after his father lost his job as a civil engineer in Greenwich, Connecticut. His dad has a gardening business and his mom is a free-lance accountant. Tucker loves the island with its tourists and beaches. His best friend Quinn can hardly wait to leave and do big things. But Tucker is content and happy to let things be just the way they are. He isn't an ambitious boy. He prefers to stay under the radar. He has a fear of failing at anything that keeps him from stretching himself.
Tucker's idyllic life is about to come crashing down on him. A death at a football game, a strange new performance enhancing drug called Ruby, and an invasion by a US Navy division called SYLO change Tucker's, Quinn's and his new crush-turned-friend Tori's lives forever. The people are told that SYLO has come to the island because of a new disease on the island. The island has been cut off from the rest of the country.
Lots of things don't add up for the kids. Why have they never heard of SYLO? How did SYLO manage to get so organized that they could bring in troops, weapons, equipment at such short notice? What are those mysterious black ships that make musical sounds when they travel? What does Mr. Feit, who is pushing Ruby, really want? Why is he running from SYLO? The kids decide that they have to escape from Pemberwick and let the rest of the country know what is happening there? However, the sea is being patrolled by Navy ships and helicopters and that won't be easy.
This is an exciting story that doesn't shirk from hard things. Characters, even important ones, die. People lie and betray. And Tucker needs to step up and take a stand. He can't just let things happen. He needs to act.
It isn't clear to Tucker, or to the reader, who the bad guys are. No character is all good or all evil. Like, Tucker, we are left with questions about what is happening. But D. J. MacHale's most evil action lies in the last three words of this story: TO BE CONTINUED...
Why work so hard to get ahead if the rug can be pulled out without warning? Or you drop dead during a football game? Maybe that's why I don't try all that hard in school. I figure that whatever comes my way I'll deal, but I won't bother sweating about it until then. That way I'll never have to feel as though I got burned.
A friend got me an autographed copy of this book at ALA. You can buy your copy here.

Ooh, this does sound good. You've got to respect an author who kills off important characters. It sounds like this ends in a real cliffhanger, though. I do love series, but I'm getting so tired of only reading part of a story! ~Pam

Clouds and a few stray showers have been with us so far on our Monday, and that will be all that is with us through the evening hours as the cold front that brings rain won't arrive until the overnight and morning hours on Tuesday. Rainfall will mainly be light with rainfall totals generally near and less than a half an inch. Temperatures will hold steady, and even rise some, overnight ahead of the front with temperatures falling quickly during the second half of Tuesday.
We drop our lows into the middle 30s for Wednesday with highs back into the middle 60s. We keep warming into Thursday and Friday as our next system arrives. A shower or two is possible on Valentine's Day with scattered showers on Friday as highs push 70.
We will drop our highs again for the weekend ahead of our next system that could bring a few showers on Monday. The actual cold front will likely stay away until next Tuesday. Temperatures look to drop below normal as we head into the start of next week.


In addition to the above courses, the following courses are strongly recommended but not required by I.U. Dental School: genetics, molecular biology, hands-on art courses (i.e. ceramics), and business management.
The DAT exam and a minimum of 90 semester hours is required for admission.
The predental student may select any major field offered by the college. While the majority of students select Biology or Chemistry, dental schools do not express a preference for any major. The minimum predental course requirements in science should be completed in the first three years if possible because most predental students take the Dental Aptitude Test (DAT) in the spring of the Junior year.
A better than average academic record is a necessity for predental students. The following information is taken from the Indiana University School of Dentistry Bulletin.
"Applicants should have a minimum of 3.0 (on a 4.0=A scale) overall grade-point average and a 3.0 science grade-point average. DAT scores should be average or above (approximately 15).
Selection criteria include, but are not limited to, overall grade-point average, science grade-point average, Dental Admission Test scores, interviews, recommendations, residency, years and hours of college credit, degrees received, motivation, exploration of dentistry, manual and artistic skills, character, personality, ethics, and health).

UNTIL NOW, GEOFFREY FIEGER was known primarily as the lawyer who kept Dr. Jack Kevorkian out of jail, but the voters of Michigan have just handed him the Democratic nomination for governor.
You mean you haven't heard non-stop coverage about a pro-choice extremist receiving the blessing of a major party? No calls for party regulars to distance themselves from this candidate? Strange. You would have if the tables were turned -- if the Republicans were to nominate someone who favored, say, shooting abortionists.
Fieger (pronounced like tiger) was more than Kevorkian's lawyer. The two are soulmates -- though in a flash of insight, Fieger once told an interviewer that he had quite a time of it keeping from the public what a complete "lunatic" Kevorkian really is.
He hasn't succeeded. The most famous client of the Democratic nominee for governor of Michigan has now helped kill more than 100 people, only 20 of whom were terminally ill. As he wrote in his 1991 book Prescription: Medicide, Kevorkian has long believed in harvesting organs from "assisted suicide" patients, death-row inmates, the mentally incompetent and other undesirables. Though Fieger has attempted to paint Kevorkian as a humanitarian, his client's ghoulish obsession with death and mutilation surfaces again and again.
Last spring, as reported in The Weekly Standard, the body of a man was left at a Michigan hospital. In his back were two gaping holes from which the kidneys had been removed. Whoever did the job had not even bothered to remove the victim's clothes -- but had simply pushed them out of the way. The blood vessels were crudely off tied with twine.
The body belonged to Joseph Tushkowski. The mutilator was Jack Kevorkian. It's no surprise. He had written many years before that the "voluntary self-elimination of individual and mortally diseased or crippled lives, taken collectively, can only enhance the preservation of public health and welfare."
While Kevorkian fantasizes about doing away with thousands of undesirables at one fell swoop, Fieger does his best to insult those Kevorkian misses. He called Adam Cardinal Maida, the Catholic archbishop of Detroit, a "nut," likened the Council of Orthodox Rabbis of Greater Detroit to Nazis for opposing assisted suicide ("they're closer to Nazis than they think ... Orthodox Jews are not different than the right-wing Christian nuts") and speculated that Gov. John Engler's triplet daughters are not his own. "Unless they have corkscrew tails, those are not his kids," said Fieger.
As a tag team for assisted suicide, these two are perhaps the worst possible salesmen. Kevorkian is a fiend, and Fieger is a lout who has yet to meet the man he can't offend.
Michigan voters will face a ballot initiative on assisted suicide in November, and the nomination of Fieger should make the issue a centerpiece of the campaign. Then again, it might be more interesting to probe Geoffrey Fieger's other views.
He accuses Engler of racial bigotry. The evidence? Engler favors testing welfare mothers for drugs. Now watch this reasoning: "Implicitly (Engler is) making a reference to African Americans even though most welfare recipients are white."
Wait, it gets better. Fieger has also accused Engler of religious bigotry because the governor's office circulated news reports of Fieger's statements about Jesus Christ: "Do you think the Roman soldiers thought he was the Son of God or just some goofball who got nailed to the cross? ... In 2000 years, we've probably made somebody who is the equivalent of Elvis into God, so I see no reason why not to believe that in 2000 years Elvis will be God."
As for the rest of the human race, Fieger is not exactly enthusiastic. "You couldn't develop a virus that kills as many people as we do and destroys as many things as we do. We're just a pestilence with appendages."
Perhaps he is speaking for himself.

First coronavirus related death reported in Georgia
GEORGIA (WJBF) – A member of Gov. Brian Kemp's Coronavirus Task Force has confirmed that the state of Georgia has its first death from the 2019 novel coronavirus.
Among 31 positive cases, this is the first death recorded.
The victim was a 67-year-old man, hospitalized at WellStar Kennestone in Marietta. He tested positive for COVID-19 on March 7th. The victim also reportedly had other underlying medical conditions.
"Marty, the girls, and I are praying for the family and loved ones of this individual during this incredibly difficult time," said Governor Kemp. "I know the medical professionals on site did everything that they could, and I greatly appreciate their efforts. As our state continues to address this pandemic, I urge Georgians to remain calm and support their neighbors and communities. We are in this fight together."
This is a developing story…

SAN DIEGO (AP) — President-elect Joe Biden's decision to immediately ask Congress to offer legal status to an estimated 11 million people in the country has surprised advocates given how the issue has long divided Democrats and Republicans, even within their own parties.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey defended his company's ban of President Donald Trump in a philosophical Twitter thread that is his first public statement on the subject.
When Trump incited his followers to storm the U.S. Capitol last week, then continued to tweet potentially ominous messages, Dorsey said the resulting risk to public safety created an "extraordinary and untenable circumstance" for the company. Having already briefly suspended Trump's account the day of the Capitol riot, Twitter on Friday banned Trump entirely, then smacked down the president's attempts to tweet using other accounts.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — War-like imagery has begun spreading in Republican circles after the attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of President Donald Trump's supporters, with some elected officials and party leaders rejecting pleas to tone down rhetoric calling for a second civil war.


This hammer is encrusted with precious gems and inlaid with mithral, silver, and gold.
Command: This armor or shield always appears brilliant and gleaming, no matter what the conditions and despite all attempts to paint over or obscure it. Coveted by military leaders of all sorts, it carries a powerful aura that grants a +2 competence bonus on all Charisma-based skill checks and reaction checks. Command armor and command shields make their owners very noticeable, imposing a -6 penalty on Hide checks.
Impact: This ability doubles the threat range of a weapon. This benefit doesn't stack with any other effect that expands the threat range of a weapon.

If the thought of buying a mattress or bedding online freaks you out ("how can I buy something without touching it first?!"), home lifestyle brand Allswell has your back. The company will be driving a custom-built tiny home retail experience cross-country so customers can finally test out its wares.
Beginning February 7 in New York City, the 238-square-foot, four-bedroom tiny home designed by Modern Tiny Living will make its way across the U.S., stopping at major cities for the next three months. But that's not all: Since you'll probably want to move in once you see inside the gorgeous Allswell Tiny Home, they want you to have one of your own. Beginning on February 7, an Allswell-designed tiny home could actually be yours—for a starting price of $100,000.
Honestly, though, the price is worth it for what you could have inside. Take a peek for yourself—if you like what you see here, they can customize it exactly like it. Want to change it up? No problem! The options are endless, and the choice is yours. While you ponder how you'd customize yours, here's a little inspiration to help you dream of what could be.
1 The living room is tucked into a cozy nook.
With The Allswell mattress on a custom-built couch area complete with storage and a twin daybed, the area is perfect for both lounge and extra sleep space.
2 There's a bright, modern kitchenette.
For a home this small, you'd expect a tiny fridge and sink, but thankfully, this tiny home has neither issue. I mean, a farmhouse sink? Come on!
3 The bathroom even has a spacious shower.
The mosaic word backsplash is the perfect added touch.
4 Though you might think a tiny home would also have a miniature toilet, think again in this space.
Yes, a full-size, normal-shaped porcelain bowl is ready for use. What a treat!
5 There is even a bathroom vanity area, so you don't have to use the kitchen sink.
A home that includes an empowering mirror? I'm all but sold.
6 A separate bedroom fits the Allswell Luxe Hybrid mattress.
It includes an open view of the great outdoors, if you'd like to let in some fresh air.

Album Review: Lurking Evil – The Almighty Hordes of the Undead
SCAR SYMMETRY: 'Limits To Infinity' Lyric Video
Album Review: Soundchaser – Changes Part I: The Betrayed
Soundchaser [Belgium]
Changes Part I: The Betrayed
Belgium heavy metal band Soundchaser's sophomore full length effort, Changes Part I: The Betrayed got me rather intrigued, with the album broken down into four main acts, yet at the same time the rather weird, short track titles on the album left me not expecting too much, with titles like Is Lost, Is Gone, to name a few.
Yet what the band has put on their sophomore left me rather surprised, and what the band presents on Changes Part I is some good quality heavy metal, with a touch of a whole range of different genres being included to make this album a unique listening experience. Opening Act, The Bandage Fall, which includes the first four tracks on the album, gives a nice introduction to the musical style of Soundchaser – melodic, yet powerful and extremely catchy.
The influences from classic acts like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest are obvious right from the start, but what is extremely refreshing and rather surprising are the German influences. These are undeniable, and throughout the album, one is reminded of such bands as Helloween or Gamma Ray, from the riffs and leads of Marcos to the double bass-pedal fuelled drumming of Jon. Marcos' vocals even reminds one of Rage's Peter Wagner, further strengthening that Teutonic references. The power metal moments like on Is Gone even remind one of bands like Kamelot.
With the number of concept albums released over the years, few have actually made much sense to me (at least musically), but Soundchaser excels in this aspect. The band has divided their album into four main acts, and simply listening to the musical style throughout the album, one can immediately discern the change in mood and atmosphere with the transition of one act to another. For instance, the drop in the mood and energy level from Act I (The Bandage Fall) to Act II (The Sadness Among the Truth) is drastic, with Empty, a piano piece introducing one to the next section on the programme. Fall follows Empty, and is a nice depressive, doomish track, reminding one of the later works of Katatonia and the likes, though there are moments on the act with a somewhat gothic/doom vibe, with the death growls bringing about some Draconian comparisons.
Act III, The Circus, sees Soundchaser bringing the energy level up again, and this time there is a slight thrashy edge in the band's playing, once again showing the band's Teutonic influences with the Destruction-inspired riffs of Marcos. There are even moments where the band includes some rather progressive elements in their playing, reminding one of the heavier and more aggressive material of Dream Theater. The album finally ends with Act IV, The Rescue, putting a fitting finish to the entire album.
There are albums that are a compilation of kickass tracks, and there are albums that require one's consistent attention for full absorption, and Soundchaser's Changes Part I belongs to that latter category. Changes Part I might be an album that lasts for more than an hour and 15 minutes, but the quality of the musicianship, and songwriting over here makes it well worth it, and a real surprise after the first impression it left.

We are now shoving down Nature's throat 50 million cars a year, but in a few years we will be shoving done "her" throat 100 million cars: now extrapolating into the future, by the year 100 million we will have shoved down Nature's throat 10,000 trillion cars ! that is so damn cool! Even if just one percent of those cars remain on the "soil", we will have filled the earth with steel and iron and engines and V8 engines, that is so cool, I can't believe it. We win, I win, we will show Nature who the Boss is, god gives you permission, we will drown all Nature in Steel and Iron and Car Seats and Steering Wheels so damn cool I can't believe it ! But that is only cars, now imagine how many jets, houses and trains, and high speed trains and highways and TVs and so forth, skyscrapers, things and stuff, all kinds of things and stuff, wild stuff, computers, chips, all kinds of gadgets and artificial, man made, fake stuff, plastic stuff, stuff that is not "Natural", that is not "genuine" and so forth, I like fake, I like artificial, I can't stand nature and this fairy land worshipping of Nature and such: we should all be loving how much of our crap we shove down her throat, we should enjoy, pure pleasure to know how we are beating "her" up, showing "her" who the boss is, you can do it man, don't be shy, god gives you permission, do it man just do it, first gear its all right, second gear hold on tight, third gear you're out of sight! so groovy, man, sock it to me, man, groovy!
And imagine how many new and cool car models there will be in the future, with 10,000 trillion cars there will be billions of new car models, oldsmobile 98s, giant sized cars, microcars, ant sized cars, huge cars, all kinds of cars, luxury cars, giant rolls royces, all kinds of car models, all kinds of new and wicked dash boards, all kinds of replicas of 1967 Chrysler Imperials and such, so damn cool! I will have so much fun, just like a baby, just like an idiot, who cares, I have no obligation to anything or any idea or any model, I just need to satisfy my pleasure, and my pleasure is in seeing all kinds of stuff shoved down Nature's throat, and all the fundamentalist nature lovers lose and lose badly, I hope they suffer greatly for their loss, I win, we won, the nature killers win so there, I got you back, I got you all back, so cool, I win, I win, just like a little baby, I always win, I am so glad I have remained a little idiot baby who can always win, who wins always, I am god, you all have to respect some kind of morality and values, I kill values and morality, I am the god who took god's place, god gives you permission and such. There should be an eco terrorist movement that does the opposite of what green peace and nature lovers do and namely poison the environment as much as possible, kill nature, drop bombs, make the environment totally no longer inhabitable, so cool and such.
Please don't read this as sarcasm or as some kind of counter exaggeration, I really mean it, I love fake and plastic and am totally fed up with all of this environmental crap and losers and go back to the land and become farmers crap and such, we must go forward and such.
But the real kicker is to calculate how many homes will have been built by then: now maybe we build a million homes worldwide every year (probably a lot more) so that is 100 million square meters of land grabbed away from Nature for our pleasure and such. Now in a million years we will have completely saturated the land of the earth with houses, structures, malls, big box malls, skyscrapers and such, so damn cool ! so imagine how saturated the earth will be with things, cars and houses and factories and malls and highways and airports and so forth, imagine an earth completely drowned in our crap, so damn cool! That's the way I like it!


Unfortunately, autoimmune conditions have become quite common. Dr. Terry Wahls was diagnosed with one a number of years ago. In this video, she discusses how and why autoimmune conditions manifest into different diseases. She also gives her opinion on whether or not an autoimmune condition can ever truly be 'cured'.


The Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi and his government embarked on a national project, led by the military, to expand the Suez canal through a new 45-mile bypass that allows two-way ship transport in a section of the canal (1; 2; 3). It was mostly funded by Egyptian citizens, who purchased $8 billion worth of government bonds (3). The project proceeded in August 2014, with no environmental impact assessment.
During 2014, at least 1,500 homes have been destroyed along with farmers' land, displacing at least 2,000 residents with no apparent compensation or prior warning (1; 2; 4; 5). Amidst government and media propaganda hailing the potential economic benefits of the "new" Suez canal, portrayed as a national pride, tittle attention has been paid to such evictions which took place in in two villages in the governorate of Ismailia (Abtal and Qantara Sharq) located to the east of the canal (2). Farmers saw their mango trees ripped out and their lands and houses demolished (2; 4). Residents still wait for a court ruling regarding their case. There was no apparent mobilised opposition, particularly with the new government's anti-protest law and the firm grip of the army on the Suez Canal and Sinai regions amidst fears of terrorism. The area has been inhabited for three decades, and residents have been paying the government utility bills. According to the residents' lawyer, it should be legally recognised as their home. However, the military evicted villagers on the basis that they have no right to be living on land which had always belonged to the army, disregarding their destroyed livelihoods (4; 5).
After nearly a year of work led by the army, the president inaugurated the completed bypass on 6 August 2015 amidst incredible celebratory propaganda. The canal was schedule to take three years of work, but with more time, effort and resources was completed in one year. What is less known is that 5 workers died on-site due to work related accidents, and 103 others were reported to have collapsed due to sunstrokes (6). Work and accommodation conditions for part-time contracted and non-unionized workers was alarming, with exposure to intense heat, cold at night, wild dogs, snakes and scorpions, where some workers slept out in the open (6). National and foreign companies were contracted for carrying out dry-digging and dredging activities. In September, 2015, two consortia of foreign companies, which were involved in the dredging process denied violating labor rights (7,8). Some 80 (mostly national) companies were involved in the dry-digging phase (9).
Why? Explain briefly. The project has been completed with disregard for the displaced and loss of their livelihoods, with little national and international media attention. No evidence suggests that compensations took place.


It would seem that the Christmas Silly Season has started in earnest. My diary tells me that its quite possible I will be out every night this week, including two roast dinners and one office-funded party. I fear for my waistline; especially after the comestibles this weekend pushed me back to the 18st line according to the scales this morning.
Last week was itself not bereft of festive boozing. Wednesday night I found myself rubbing shoulders with the great and the good of Soho's post-production systems administrators and other associated geeks at the Sohonet 10th Anniversary and Xmas party. Held at their loverly new (well to me, they've been there a year now, apparently) offices on Poland Street, next door to Milk and Honey. Stubbies of Spitfire were drunk, canapes consumed and gambling ignored in favour of conversation which actually managed the occasional meander away from ranting about work between myself and my boss' boss.
Thursday was an evening in with easterbunny rather than the usual pub night due to the toll to be taken on my internal organs and wallet by December's excesses and the fact that we'd not seen much of each other since Sunday afternoon as she'd been in the Frosty North visiting Big Dishes.
Friday saw myself and billyabbott heading to not one but two parties (a feat I shall repeat next Saturday, this time with added turkey). Firstly, with Dave WINOLJ but is letnash's other 1/2, to see off domgiles_blog who is about to head on, what could be a perminent, jaunt around Asia. He'd reserved an area in a place called The Strongrooms, a fantastic little dive near Old Street who do tasty food (so I'm told) and is quiet enough to be able to actually hold a conversation. No ale that I could spot, but Anchor Steam in the fride and a remarkable range of rums, as well as other spirits. One to return to for a more lengthy session, perhaps.
A couple of hours flew by in great company and, with a parting shot of Jagermeister, billyabbot and I bid the group fairwell and headed out to Dulwich for the Pre-Xmas Party Warmup Party at Neil & Jane's. This has been running some nine years now, in one form or another, and we've been hosts / assisting the hosts ever since I lived with Neil back in 1999/2000. The helpers tend to turn up the night before just to make sure the wine isn't poisoned. We're glad to say it was not, but we were very thorough in our investigations none the less.
The main party itself was fantastic fun. 34 bottles between 15 people, plus beer and spirits unknown. 2 x 22lbs turkeys, four score sausages wrapped in bacon at the very least, a plethora of deserts and much amusement from flying screaming balloons around the room. Chaos, blissful chaos. I fear I may have consumed my Annual RDA of pork product in under 48 hours; not that this is likely to limit future pork consumption, before the pork belly futures begin to plummet off the back of such news.
Sunday was relatively hangover free considering the previous nights excesses - I was saved by my wife taking me to bed when I started to nod off at the table. Middle-aged, me, an outrageous suggestion!
I think it was 101 sausages, which would be 5 score sausages and a spare.
you only become middle aged, when you would rather stay home and watch a movie instead of going out. sadly, that has become my fate, as we blew off a couple of engagements this weekend in favor of being at home doing nothing. they weren't with any close friends so it didn't seem worth all the effort. what is it, 10 more days until you and e-bunny are at the swim up bar in north africa. cheers!!

El Consejo Militar Siríaco (, MFS; ) es una organización militar asirio/siríaca en Siria, parte de las Fuerzas Democráticas Sirias. El establecimiento de la organización se anunció el 8 de enero de 2013. Según el Consejo Militar Siríaco, el objetivo de la organización es defender los derechos nacionales y proteger a los asirios en Siria. Opera principalmente en las áreas asirias densamente pobladas de Gobernación de Al-Hasakah, y está afiliada al Partido de la Unión Siríaca.

El 16 de diciembre de 2013, el Consejo Militar Siríaco anunció la fundación de una nueva Academia Militar llamada "Mártir Abgar". El 24 de diciembre, el MFS publicó fotografías que mostraban a sus miembros en control de la aldea asiria de Ghardukah, ubicada a 8 kilómetros (5,0 millas) al sur de Qahtaniyah (Tirbespiyê / Qabre Hewore). La iglesia de la aldea había sido completamente destruida por Jabhat al-Nusra, que ocupó la aldea antes de ser expulsado a mediados de octubre durante una operación lanzada por las Unidades de Protección Popular (YPG), en la que pueden haber participado miembros del MFS. El Consejo Militar Siríaco estableció una unidad militar y policial exclusivamente femenina llamada Fuerzas de Protección de la Mujer de Bethnahrain en septiembre de 2015.

Historia

Operaciones de Tell Brak & Tel Hamis (2013-14)
El MFS fue parte de una ofensiva dirigida por las YPG contra Jabhat al-Nusra y el Estado Islámico  (ISIS), que comenzó el 26 de diciembre de 2013 en la zona de Tel Hamis. Las YPG y MFS no pudieron detener a Tell Brak y no pudieron capturar Tel Hamis, y la ofensiva se suspendió a principios de enero. Tell Brak fue capturado el 23 de febrero en una redada antes del amanecer por parte de YPG y el Consejo Militar Siríaco

Ofensiva fronteriza entre Siria e Irak en junio de 2014
MFS, junto con las fuerzas de YPG, participó en una ofensiva a lo largo de la frontera entre Siria e Irak. Las fuerzas conjuntas lograron expulsar a las fuerzas del Estado Islámico después de que el grupo yihadista tomó el control de Mosul y la mayor parte de la gobernación de Nínive durante la ofensiva en el norte de Irak. La operación condujo al control total de Til-Koçar.

Ofensiva Sinyar en agosto de 2014
El MFS, junto con las fuerzas de las YPG y otros aliados, participó en una ofensiva contra el Estado Islámico en el distrito de Sinjar en la provincia iraquí de Nínive , para rescatar a 35.000 yazidíes en las montañas de Sinjar después de la masacre de Sinjar.

Operaciones de Khabur Valley (2015-2016)

el Estado Islámico lanzó una serie de ataques a finales de febrero de 2015 contra aldeas cristianas en el valle del río Khabur, con el objetivo final de capturar la ciudad estratégica de Tel Tamer, entonces bajo el control de YPG y MFS. A principios de marzo de 2015, unidades del Consejo Militar Siríaco y las YPG participaron en fuertes enfrentamientos en la región, sobre todo en los alrededores de las aldeas de Tel Nasri y Tel Mghas. El 15 de marzo de 2015, el Consejo informó que tenía el control de Tel Mghas.

El 11 de octubre de 2015, el Consejo Militar Sirio se convirtió en uno de los grupos fundadores de las Fuerzas Democráticas Sirias. El 31 de octubre, las SDF lanzaron una ofensiva hacia el sur a lo largo del río Khabur. Las SDF, que también incluyen a las YPG, YPJ, MFS, las Fuerzas al-Sanadid, la Brigada de Liberación y el Ejército de Revolucionarios, capturaron la ciudad de al-Hawl el 13 de noviembre. Después de la captura de al-Hawl, las SDF tenían como objetivo capturar la ciudad de al-Shaddadi más al sur.

El 16 de febrero de 2016, las SDF lanzaron la ofensiva de Shaddadi, que resultó en la captura de la ciudad y cientos de otras aldeas. Durante la ofensiva, el ISIS liberó a 42 rehenes asirios que secuestraron durante la ofensiva oriental de al-Hasakah en febrero de 2015.

Raqqa (2016-17)
El Consejo Militar Siríaco junto con las Fuerzas de Protección de la Mujer de Bethnahrin participaron en la campaña de las SDF para capturar Raqqa del ISIS, declarando que "la lucha contra el terrorismo es la lucha por la existencia de nuestro pueblo siríaco-asirio y no podemos descansar hasta que esta lucha se gane." En enero de 2017, 6 combatientes del MFS murieron durante la campaña de Raqqa.

El 22 de enero de 2017, la Unión Europea Siria en Bruselas solicitó a Estados Unidos y a su administración Trump que brindaran más apoyo a los componentes asirio y kurdo de las Fuerzas Democráticas Sirias. Según se informa, Estados Unidos favoreció los componentes árabes en las SDF. El 3 de abril, el MFS y el HSNB reafirmaron la solicitud de más apoyo de los Estados Unidos. A fines de 2017, las fuerzas del MFS al mando de Abjer Abjer participaron en la ofensiva para eliminar los últimos bastiones del ISIS en la gobernación de Deir ez-Zor.

2018
El 20 de enero de 2018, Kino Gabriel, portavoz del Consejo Militar de Siria, también fue nombrado portavoz de las SDF; Abgar David lo sucedió como portavoz de MFS. El MFS también anunció su intención de luchar junto con las YPG / YPJ contra la operación militar turca en Afrin a principios de 2018, enviando tropas desde la gobernación de al-Hasakah a Afrin. Sin embargo, los combatientes del MFS que todavía estaban involucrados en la ofensiva contra ISIS permanecieron en Deir ez-Zor, "porque nuestra guerra con ISIS no terminó". El 7 de febrero de 2018, un contingente más pequeño de cazas MFS llegó a Afrin.

2019
El MFS luchó en la Batalla de Baghuz Fawqani, la última fase de la campaña Deir ez-Zor contra ISIL.

Consejo militar sirio-asirio
El 6 de julio de 2019, el MFS y la Guardia Khabour anunciaron la formación del Consejo Militar Sirio-Asirio (en ) con el fin de unificar las organizaciones militares asirio-siríacas dentro de la región de Khabour. La declaración dijo que el consejo militar trabajaría dentro de los ideales políticos del Partido Unión Siria y del Consejo Democrático Sirio.

Gavin and Sally Cooke planned ahead when they built their new en suite to suit their visiting parents' needs.
Looking at the striking green mosaic wall, luxurious walk-in shower and hotel-style double basin, you'd have no idea that this chic bathroom was created to be ultra-accessible – which is just what Ripples designer Lisa Hammond intended. She had been approached by Gavin and Sally Cooke, who were building a single-storey home, and asked to design the property's bathrooms so they would be stylish, but also highly practical. The couple both have ageing parents who often come to visit.
'This bathroom was a blank canvas,' recalls Hammond. 'The house was being built from scratch, so we were able to work with the architects to ensure this room would have enough space for older people to be able to use it comfortably.
With these things in mind, Lisa designed an open, walk-in shower area that is wide enough to accommodate mobility aids and completely level with the floor, so there are no steps to negotiate. It has a channel along its width at the front for drainage, so that water doesn't leak on to the floor, and the tiles slope on a small gradient towards this gully. Omitting a glass door meant there would be one less surface to keep spotless, fitting with the couple's desire to have a low-maintenance space. 'The vanity unit and WC are hung on the wall, which makes the floor easier to clean,' adds Hammond.
There are other clever features, such as a digital shower by Mira that's operated by remote control. This allows the temperature for the water to be set before stepping into it. There's also a choice between a fixed overhead polished steel rainshower and a hand spray. Underfloor heating runs throughout, so the tiles dry quickly after use.
The couple were keen to add some colour to the space where they could. A combination of green iridescent mosaic tiles and matt grey large-format tiles add depth and texture to the overall look, in an otherwise simple scheme.

Q: Normalizing variables before clustering I am looking to apply k-means clustering on two features of remote sensing data. The first layer is the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), which is expressed on a scale between 0-1. The second layer is the land surface temperature, with units of Kelvin (implying a non-standard range unlike NDVI).
I would like to apply k-means separately for each layer, and while I understand it is best to try and combine such information, I have a non-related reason why they can be treated separately.
Therefore, I would like to apply k-means for both NDVI and temperature separately. However, when I looked into pre-processing steps needed for k-means, there are some that suggest that normalizing variables to a common range can help reduce the influence of one feature over another. In this context, however, it would seem that normalization is most relevant when two feature layers are being combined together (in this case 0-1 for NDVI and min/max for temperature).
Onto my question: would normalization be needed if k-means clustering are to applied separately to each layer?

A: If you apply k-means to each feature separately, then no, no need to normalize them.
The advice is when you apply the same k-means model on a set of features. In this instance, as k-means works on distances, you should have isometric distances in all directions, hence the normalization.
In your case, you are not applying the same k-means, but different ones.
