In spite of the conflicts in my private life over the last couple of years, I genuinely feel happier, and more centred nowadays than say in the early stages, when I felt I had a lot to prove, and this time last year, when everything started to feel tedious repetitive.
Not to say, I take this for granted — I really don't. In fact, I'm so glad we continued, as one: there are certain things that I can share now, that I would not have been in the position to reveal after one year of experience.
Two: By far the best part of this journey has been meeting you guys (I would say that wouldn't I) but I'm actually serious. I love meeting new people, but more so because you are the liveliest women ever, full of personality, opinions, jokes, there's never a dull moment.
Because it can be so hard to continue sometimes; putting one foot in front of the other can literally take up all of your energy.
If I could go back in time what one piece of advice would I give myself at the beginning?
I would tell myself to, 'Calm down Yvonne!' I was soooo impatient, I wanted everything now, now, now. I wanted to grow at the speed of light, I wanted people to trust BCG. I wanted it all.
Prestigious brands like Apple, Rolex, Louboutin, have built a credible reputation because they have been around for decades sometimes centuries, and their products have consistently delivered over that period, in many cases outperforming their competition.
A new brand maybe sexier, hotter, and generate more excitement than Apple, but it cannot automatically supersede the reputation of their products that have stood the test of time. Only time can do that.
I remember flicking though my first Vogue magazine, dreaming, right there and then, that one day I would become an Editor or a Journalist. Well this isn't Vogue, and I'm not Anna Wintour, lol, but I have worked as a newspaper Journalist, and now a Copywriter, plus I edit this blog (although I don't always upload the posts) – does that count? That said, I'm so ready for a career change.
When I look over my life, I've always seeked out risk because I secretly enjoy it, as a result, I have some juicy stories to share, on the other hand, I've done things many of you would chastise me for. To be frank, I'm far from perfect yet I'm passionate in everything I put my energy into – including people.
People think because I'm well spoken that I'm really p-r-o-p-e-r *in my Audrey Hepburn voice, though the opposite is true in my case, I'm down to earth in my approach to any conversation. My niece says I use the phrases, "Oh my gosh", "Like" and "Seriously" too much.
'Perfectionism' doesn't mean you don't get stuff wrong, in fact you're more inclined to get stuff wrong, because you tend to berate and criticize yourself for the slightest things, and sadly put exacting standards on yourself. << Describes me to a T.
I'd liken it to a sickness that you try and shake off but it silently creeps back into your psyche at the most unexpected times. Unfortunately 'perfectionism' often leads to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, although I don't have full blown OCD, I have been known to care about the most irrelevant details – to the point of driving my family insane, hahahahahaha! I'll let my family tell you about that, as I can't with a straight face.
The upside of that is I feel a strong urge to do work projects throughly, then again, the downside is it causes me to procrastinate as I feel as if I won't be able to live up to my own expectations.
Researchers say it's got a lot to do with control, when you have been made to feel out of control in one area of life, you tend to over-control other aspects of your life. The last 2 years have taught me that honestly, know one cares about how perfect you are!
Well after approx 5 blog posts on the topic and numerous emails, this is probably old news, however it deserves a place on this list as discipline and focus is a daily struggle. Ugh.
Now I've finished my list, I'd love to hear 5 random things about you, today or maybe one day in the near future.
Thanks for sticking around, I'm not one to forget those who've been loyal. There will be a little special something for you, just to say thanks… ya feel meh. Listen, this year is going to a blast. I declare it! As we venture into yet new territory.
We can all vouch that there are experiences women go through that men can never understand. As women, we have emotions, instincts, even questions that are particular to our gender.
Experts say females are better listeners, are more detailed orientated, are more likely to be collaborative, intuitive, analytical, nurturing, and empathetic in their life and in leadership, while men prefer a more fact-based, straightforward and practical approach.
If women don't speak up, we are left with men dictating the show, (a few of whom do not have our best interests at heart).
No gender has full jurisdiction on love, relationships, success, entrepreneurship, and if they tell you that they are lying to you.
The truth is men do certain tasks far better than women, equally women do certain tasks far better than men. In theory, men and women should work together in unison. Besides nobody can better emphasize the journey of an entrepreneur to women than a woman.
Aww, so good to meet you love. I'll check out your random facts now. And thanks for your feedback, it's always nice to engage.

216 F. 2d 428 - Tennessee Copper Company v. Smith
216 F2d 428 Tennessee Copper Company v. Smith
TENNESSEE COPPER COMPANY, Appellant,
Dora Simmons SMITH, Appellee.
No. 12084.
United States Court of Appeals Sixth Circuit.
Frantz, McConnell & Seymour, Knoxville, Tenn., for appellant.
Hodges & Doughty, Knoxville, Tenn., for appellee.
Before ALLEN, McALLISTER and MILLER, Circuit Judges.
In this action for damages for personal injuries arising out of an automobile accident in Polk County, Tennessee, judgment was entered upon the jury's verdict for $25,000 in favor of the appellee, who was a passenger in one of the automobiles involved. Appellant's motion for a new trial was overruled by the District Judge, conditioned upon the appellee accepting a remittitur of $6,000, with which condition appellee complied. This appeal followed.
Appellant contends that the accident was caused by the sole negligence of the operator of a third automobile who pulled out from behind the car in which appellee was riding into the path of the appellant's truck coming in the opposite direction, which caused appellant's driver to apply his brakes suddenly, causing the truck to skid into collision with appellee's car.
There was substantial evidence that appellant's truck was being operated at a speed of from 50 to 65 miles per hour at the time. The Tennessee statutory speed limit for trucks is 40 miles per hour. Sec. 2682.1, Code of Tennessee.
The District Judge overruled appellant's motion for a directed verdict, but instructed the jury under the sudden peril doctrine, which included the well settled qualification that the appellant could not claim the benefit of the rule if its negligence contributed to the creation of the emergency, which factual issue was left to the jury. Smith v. Fisher, 11 Tenn.App. 273; Caldwell v. Hodges, 18 Tenn.App. 355, 77 S.W.2d 817; Shook v. Simmons, 23 Tenn.App. 685, 137 S.W.2d 332. In view of the evidence above referred to, we are of the opinion that the question involved in this phase of the case was properly left to the jury. Stanford v. Holloway, 25 Tenn. App. 379, 157 S.W.2d 864, 869-870.
Appellee's injuries were serious and in part permanent, including multiple fractures, a serious brain injury, and partial paralysis of the left side. There was a 60 to 70 per cent disability in the use of her left upper extremity. She was hospitalized on three separate occasions. Hospital and medical bills were $1,555.23. We do not agree with appellant's contention that in view of her age of 65, with a life expectancy of approximately 11½ years, the verdict was so excessive as to indicate that it was the result of passion, prejudice or unaccountable caprice on the part of the jury, or that the judgment was so excessive as to require this Court to set it aside and direct a new trial. In a personal injury suit damages are unliquidated and there is no fixed measure of mathematical certainty. The determination by the jury will not be set aside where, as in this case, there is substantial evidence to sustain the amount of the verdict. Werthan Bag Corp. v. Agnew, 6 Cir., 202 F.2d 119, 123. See Spero-Nelson v. Brown, 6 Cir., 175 F.2d 86.
The judgment is affirmed.

Quick, relatively luxurious, and a return to form.
Despite recent adoptions of 2.0-liter turbo fours as the top-spec engine for the Hyundai Sonata, Ford Fusion, and Chevrolet Malibu—the idea being to combine maximum hustle and ostensibly improved economy—Honda's venerable 3.5-liter V-6 remains as the upgrade engine in the new 2013 Accord. Although the mid-size sedan's official fuel-economy ratings do get a bump over last year's figures, the modest updates to the V-6 combined with the tidier package of the new Accord result in one of the quickest front-wheel-drive four-doors we've ever tested.
As in the previous-gen Accord, the single-overhead-cam V-6 displaces 3471 cc and features port fuel injection, cylinder deactivation, and i-VTEC variable valve timing. Notable changes for 2013 include lighter components, revised heads, reduced-friction internals, and updated electronic controls. Horsepower rises modestly from 271 to 278, and although torque drops 2 lb-ft to 252, the grunt is spread over a wider power band, improving drivability.
Honda's Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) is standard on V-6 sedans and now also works over a wider range of engine loads to improve efficiency; when it's active, it silences three cylinders. (The previous version could deactivate two or three cylinders.) EPA city/highway ratings increase from 20/30 mpg to 21/34; we averaged 23, due to a heavier-than-usual helping of lead feet. In less-frenetic driving, the car might improve on the 27-mpg average of our most recent Accord V-6 test subject.
Honda's six-speed automatic transmission finally migrates for 2013 from the Odyssey and various Acuras to V-6 Accords, replacing the old five-speed, and now includes a sport mode that holds gears longer and delivers responsive downshifts. (The V-6 with six-speed manual combo remains exclusive to the coupe.) With less weight to haul around—3552 pounds versus 3607 for the last V-6 sedan we tested—our Touring example sprinted to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds and tripped the quarter-mile lights in 14.1 seconds at 101 mph. Those figures put it solidly ahead of all its competitors and into sports-sedan territory; the Accord ties our long-term, six-speed-manual BMW 328i to 60 and trumps that car in the quarter by 0.2 second and 1 mph.
Despite wearing Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 all-season rubber on 17-inch wheels, the Accord V-6 was entertaining around our 10Best handling loop near C/D HQ. The steering is light and responsive, and the engine is willing to put up a fight with the traction control exiting a tight bend. Heavy throttle stabs in low gears initiate torque steer, but more weight up front helps keep the steering-wheel tug well below that exhibited by hot hatches such as the Mini Cooper S and Ford Focus ST. The extra pounds over the front axle extract a price, however small, as this V-6 car feels slightly less agile and balanced than the lighter four-cylinder Accord. It nevertheless still feels highly composed, and with the six-pot, has sufficient power to make on-ramp blasts a hoot. Compared with last year's V-6 model, maximum skidpad grip increases from 0.79 g to 0.82, and a 178-foot stop from 70 mph is 12 feet shorter than before.
As with all new-gen Accords, the V-6 sedan delivers smooth shifts, an excellent balance of ride and body control, and good isolation from the road. The VCM system kicks in frequently when cruising, but active engine mounts and a noise-cancellation system make it nearly impossible to detect that three cylinders are snoozing.
The new Accord looks familiar, yes, but the styling is cleaner and less fussy. Inside, the materials are much nicer, and the designers appear to have paid more attention to detail and usability. Bilevel displays in the center stack break up the audio and navigation data and take some getting used to, but there are approximately a billion fewer buttons than before. The front seats are more comfortable, thankfully eschewing the permanent lumbar support that made so many of us hate the previous car's thrones. Rear-seat space is again vast; six-footers have plenty of room. Outward visibility is great, and the LaneWatch blind-spot camera in the right exterior mirror is a clever and useful feature; it displays a live readout on the main screen when a button on the turn-signal stalk is depressed. It can also be set to come on automatically whenever the right blinker is activated.
Although the Accord four-cylinder sedan and coupe made our 10Best list last year, the V-6 models weren't included; we felt fresher competitors, such as the six-cylinder Volkswagen Passat, delivered a superior premium family-car experience. With this ninth-generation Accord, though, the V-6 serves up the kind of refinement and driving enjoyment we expect to see from the class benchmarks.
Pricing begins at $22,470 for a base LX four-cylinder model with the six-speed manual. V-6 Accord sedans start with the leather-clad EX-L at $30,860 and go up to the $34,220 Touring model tested here. A new-for-2013 trim, the Touring adds LED headlights and adaptive cruise control to the $32,860 Accord EX-L with navigation, and its standard kit includes the LaneWatch camera, 17-inch wheels, a cocoon of airbags, lane-departure and forward-collision warning, stability control, heated front seats, a rearview camera, and a power sunroof.
The well-appointed Accord V-6 Touring is quick and relatively luxurious and delivers the well-sorted feel we expect from a Honda approaching Acura price levels. The throaty V-6 sounds great compared with the competition's hissing turbo fours, but practical shoppers might better appreciate the comparably equipped EX-L four-cylinder that is better balanced, less thirsty, and costs less. And we really like the four-cylinder Sport model and its available six-speed manual. But we—and those sensible folks—would be left in the V-6's wake.

Magnesium in a bottle
iMag contains a 100 per cent naturally occurring form of magnesium chloride. Its zero stability constant makes it the most bioavailable form of the magnesium ion for humans. iMag is sourced from the Ancient Underground Zechstein Seabed, a mineral deposit in the Netherlands which has been preserved underground for over 250 million years, making it naturally pure and free of pollution and heavy metal toxins. The people at iMag are focused on purity and quality, and stress that this precious form of natural magnesium is not only unprocessed, but unlike most other products. It is packaged in glass, as opposed to plastic, which is known to leach chemicals that have been linked to cancer, mental, hormonal and even fertility problems. iMag can be found at ineedmag.com, which is also linked to its sister website that serves as a comprehensive data resource for all things magnesium: imagnesium.com. iMag is a proud Canadian company founded by Matt Selma.

Estate Administration Tax — The Issue Is Back!
You may recall that in May 2011 (Issue 11-4) we posted an article with respect to Bill 173, and in particular, Schedule 14 to that Bill. Schedule 14 proposed an amendment to the Estate Administration Tax Act. On Friday, November 7th at 5:14 p.m., the Ministry of Finance posted the draft regulation that we have long been waiting for, setting out the estate information return that will be required to be filed on an Application for a Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee. The release states that this will become effective on or after January 1, 2015, and have invited comments to be made to them by November 28, 2014. See the draft regulation at the end of this issue.
Section 3 of the proposed regulation provides a list of items that must be provided to the Minister no later than 30 days after an "Estate Certificate" is issued to the estate representative. Subsection (2)7 states that a complete list of the assets of the deceased person used to determine the value of the estate must be provided, including specific information with respect to each asset. For example, with respect to real property you will be required to provide the full address, postal code, value of any encumbrances on the real property, the assessment roll number, and the Property Identifier of such property. This will require additional searches to be done to obtain this information at a cost to the estate. They refer to a "Complete List", but does this include the old TV with an estimated value of $20.00?
Section (2)7(iii) provides that if the asset is cash, a GIC, a loan receivable, or a form of security, among other things, then you must provide very specific details about the asset, such as the number of units held, the particular series of bonds or class of shares, and in addition, the name and contact information of the deceased person's advisor, dealer, financial institution or other person holding the asset on behalf of the deceased person. You must also provide the specific account number in relation to the asset.
If the deceased died owning a car, you will be required to provide the Vehicle Identification Number. In addition, if any asset is owned with a deceased person as tenant-in-common, you must state the percentage owned by the deceased person at death. If you are unable to determine the actual value of the estate, and therefore filed an undertaking with the Court, you must provide a copy of that undertaking with this return.
If an estate representative becomes aware that any information described in paragraphs 7, 8 or 16 of subsection 3(2) of the regulation is incorrect or incomplete, they then have 30 days from the date that they become aware of the issue to file the revised return. This will not be required if the estate representative becomes aware of the incorrect or incomplete information after the 4th anniversary of the day the tax became payable. Not sure how you ascertain when the tax became payable.
I encourage you to read this legislation carefully as this is only touching on the highlights and I have not given any detailed consideration to the implications of the both the legislation and this proposed regulation.

Q: Configured Resources Per Flavor and BuildType Overwrites Each Other I have several flavors for which I'd like to configure specific resources for on a per buildType basis.
The following configuration works perfectly if there's only one flavor, android recognizes the resource directories src/flavor1/res and src/flavor1/::buildType::/res as expected:
productFlavors {
    flavor1 {
        applicationId "com.flavor1"
        sourceSets {
            debug {
                res.srcDirs = [ 'src/flavor1/debug/res' ]
            }
            staging {
                res.srcDirs = [ 'src/flavor1/staging/res' ]
            }
            release {
                res.srcDirs = [ 'src/flavor1/release/res' ]
            }
        }
    }
}

However, if I add more than one flavor, the resource directory for the last flavor defined is the only one recognized regardless of what variant is currently selected in Android Studio:
productFlavors {
    flavor1 {
        applicationId "com.flavor1"
        sourceSets {
            debug {
                res.srcDirs = [ 'src/flavor1/debug/res' ]
            }
            staging {
                res.srcDirs = [ 'src/flavor1/staging/res' ]
            }
            release {
                res.srcDirs = [ 'src/flavor1/release/res' ]
            }
        }
    }
    flavor2 {
        applicationId "com.flavor2"
        sourceSets {
            debug {
                res.srcDirs = [ 'src/flavor2/debug/res' ]
            }
            staging {
                res.srcDirs = [ 'src/flavor2/staging/res' ]
            }
            release {
                res.srcDirs = [ 'src/flavor2/release/res' ]
            }
        }
    }
}

In the above configuration, when I select flavor1Debug, for example, the following directories are recognized as the resource directories:
src/flavor1/res
src/flavor2/debug/res

What am I missing?

R.I.P. Dick Clark

In the 7th grade, it was quite the ritual. I'd rush home from school, turn on the TV in my parents' bedroom, call a girlfriend on the phone, and we'd watch American Bandstand. We dissected every moment -- who was dancing with whom, who was wearing what, how they wore their hair, which guy looked the cutest that day, and which couple reportedly was breaking up. (We got that info from fan magazines.) My friends and I weren't the only ones. So many people are saying the same thing today on Twitter, Facebook and in blogposts. It was almost like a reality TV show.
The show aired from Philadephia back then, with, of course, Dick Clark as host.
Dick Clark, the "world's oldest teenager" died today at 82. R.I.P. Dick, and thanks so much for the memories.

I was a rock band roadie (5.00 / 4) (#1)
...during the '60s and '70s, for a group called The Sons of Champlin. We taped a Bandstand segment around 1974.
It was an amazing, experience, and of course we met Mr. Clark. The performance was lip-synched, which didn't make the band very happy, but the stage crew put the band on stage in real time during a two-minute commercial break. It's a lot easier to do when the band isn't actually playing. The gear was fake, and the guitars were not even plugged in.
A week's worth of shows were being taped on a Saturday afternoon, when the kids were available, so we hung around with the four other bands who would appear. Each taping session ran exactly the half-hour of broadcast time, with appropriate breaks for commercials, and all set changes were accomplished during commercial breaks. After each segment was taped, the kids would change clothing so it wasn't obvious that it all took place on the same afternoon.
Same here, Jeralyn. (5.00 / 3) (#2)

It was my first experience with what later came to be called "appointment television." My sister and I watched American Bandstand with the same attention to detail that you described.

Best Birthday Party I ever attended (5.00 / 2) (#3)
by Peter G on Wed Apr 18, 2012 at 07:52:45 PM EST
as a kid, was when I was 9 or 10 years old, that is, around 1958 or 1959. (The same year I bought my first 45 rpm record: The Fendermen's version of "Mule Skinner Blues"). We lived in the NJ suburbs of NYC. Dick Clark not only had the weekday afternoon live show from Philadelphia, but on Saturday nights he did a live concert-type show from a TV studio in NYC, "The Dick Clark Show." This kid's parents took about ten of his friends to be in the audience for one of those evening shows. What I remember most clearly was seeing Dion and the Belmonts performing "(Why Must I Be) a Teenager in Love?" (clearly lip-synched, but what did I know?) - it was in the theater seen in the YouTube clip, but not that performance - and the live presentation of a Doublemint Gum commercial, complete with the two pair of clapping hands.

I've always loved that moniker because he did absolutely groove on the music almost all parental types disdained if not actively hated.
I wasn't into the dancers, just the music, and I always loved it that Dick Clark didn't either patronize or keep his distance from it, he loved it as much as I did.
From everything I'm hearing on the TV tonight from the people who performed on one of his shows, he was an all-around good guy, a very classy man.
Good on you, Dick. And thanks.

She grew up in Woodbury, NJ, just across the river from Philly. She used to rush home from school to watch Bandstand when it was still a local show on WFIL.
She knew all the dancers, and all the dances.
Still does, as a matter of fact.

Will and James's Guide to The Amazing Race Episode 9
Amazing Race's Will and James offer Out Traveler readers exclusive sneak peek videos and insight into the challenges the teams face in Cambodia, in tonight's episode.
By Will Jardell and James Wallington
December 02 2020 3:00 AM EST
The Megaleg didn't disappoint as it delivered one of the hardest and longest legs of the race so far! Only six teams raced through the streets of Hyderabad, India while smog checking auto rickshaws, decoding a hidden message, utilizing augmented reality at ancient tombs, searching through an abyss of bangles and setting a 108 foot table at Taj Falaknuma Palace. The Megaleg tested each team's ability to rise to the challenge but ultimately Kaylynn and Haley couldn't overcome a terrible taxi ride on top of two yields and were eliminated from the race. Only the Mine 5 remain as teams travel to Siem Reap, Cambodia where a double U-turn awaits them to shake things up.
Phil unveiling the Double U-Turn in Cambodia.
If you haven't caught up on the previous episodes of season 32, be sure to watch the episodes on CBS All Access and then tune in TONIGHT at 8PM/7C for an all-new episode of The Amazing Race!
Cambodia has been on our list of destinations to visit, ever since we started traveling together because it's home to the largest religious structure in the world, Angkor Wat.
With a land area of 402 acres, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is known as the most noteworthy landmark in Cambodia and may or may not be making an appearance in the upcoming leg of The Amazing Race.
Before flying to the city of Siem Reap we did our fair share of research and learned that the official language is Khmer which is spoken by 13 million people in Cambodia. Unfortunately for us, this was not one of the languages we learned prior to the Race but wrote down key phrases that we could attempt to become familiar with. Although we are visiting Siem Reap, it is not the capital. The capital of Cambodia is Phnom Penh and located southeast of Siem Reap.
Located in these cities, and all throughout the country, the ancient and modern civilizations collide, creating opportunities of adventure for travelers. Despite Cambodia being considered one of the least developed countries by the United Nations, it doesn't diminish the beauty of the culture and its people. This "Kingdom of Wonder" enchants more than two million international visitors each year with its warm and infectious hospitality which is something to be celebrated.
Stepping off the plane, we immediately made our way to the city center to search for a motorbike that needed to be connected to a cart which carried the Travelocity Roaming Gnome.
Traversing a leg of The Amazing Race with the Travelocity Roaming Gnome is every super fan's dream and we were thrilled that we would be able to race with a third teammate in Cambodia. We're not sure if the Travelocity Roaming Gnome helped us much on this leg, however, it was really cool to be able to bring it along to each of the challenges throughout this leg of The Race.
As we've previously mentioned, the cultural experiences along The Race impact you in indescribable ways. Traveling by boat on Tonle Sap, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia, we made our way through a floating village to an ancient floating Buddhist temple.
We donated a large basket full of food, water and various items as an offering to the local community and placed it inside the temple with the Buddhist monks after receiving a blessing. Being able to deliver a gift to the community that welcomed us with open arms was a highlight in the race so far. The floating village was incredible to see and although we were in race mode, it was a human moment that we will never forget.
We stayed in the floating village for the detour where we built a floating garden full of vegetable plants that would help provide resources to the surrounding village. This challenge was taxing because we were exposed to the heat of the sun as we got down and dirty in the dirt. Riding our boat through the floating village after completing our garden allowed us to soak up the community we were immersed in.
The village on Tonle Sap was phenomenal to see, kids swimming in the lake, family homes layered with hammocks, and the warmest people we have encountered on the race all waving at us as we passed by. While we did one one side of the detour, a few teams decided to do the other. Enjoy this EXCLUSIVE Sneak Peek for Out Traveler of us performing the gardening task of the Detour:
The pit stop on this leg of the race is inside the phenomenal Angkor Wat, a sight everyone should see in their lifetime. This ancient 12th century structure is lined with incredible temples, beautiful sculptures, and swarms of monkeys playing in the trees.
One of the coolest things you can see within the temples are these massive trees and vines growing through the bases and walls of the temples. There are no words to describe how magnificent the views of Angkor Wat were. It was a major highlight in terms of historical sites we saw during season 32 and something we will never forget.
From beginning the leg with assembling a motorbike, riding through the floating village, and ending at Angkor Wat, each aspect of this leg of the race showcased the magnificent culture that Cambodia has to offer travelers. This episode promises to be full of incredible sites as well as an intense drama as the final double U-turn makes an appearance during this leg. Which of the five teams will get U-turned, if any, and which team from the Mine 5 will be eliminated? Be sure to watch the next episode of The Amazing Race unfold TONIGHT on CBS at 8PM/7C.

Blake Lively rules out nude scenes
By Jenn Selby
Blake Lively has ruled out ever filming nude scenes for a movie.
The Gossip Girl actress said that she finds naked scenes "distracting" to the plot.
"When I see nudity in movies, I am always distracted by it. I know that if I am watching a scene and someone has their boobs out, then that's all I'm looking at - I can't help it," she told Style. "I just don't think that will ever be right for me."
She also revealed the secret behind her coveted figure - doing nothing.
"I am terrible, I don't do any exercise - I'm going to have to learn the hard way. I love food too much, and my family is from the South, so the food I like is not necessarily the best for you. "There are days when I will be like, 'Oh my goodness, I am not happy with the way I look because I cannot fit into any of my clothes'. So I eat quinoa that week, and then I feel good."

The History Channel denies producing a Tiranos de América documentary that includes AMLO
Vernon Shorts 11 months ago 3 min read
In addition to including the image of the President of Mexico, the presumed trailer for the documentary also references the leaders of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro; Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega and Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro.
TEPJF Specialized Chamber, Creators Fines Series Populism in Latin America With 4.2 mdp
Mexico City, February 20 (however). – the channel History Denied production of a documentary film Titled America's TyrantsAfter his promotional poster, where the president's photo appears Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, Spread across social networks.
The supposed trailer for the documentary also includes the leaders of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro; Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega and Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro.
According to information from the magazine Processing, The push channel indicated that the production was inconsistent with it.
"The record was not created or any Twitter, advertisement, or promotion was sent on social networks. The Twitter, advertisement, advertisement, promotional, or demonstration was not created by History Latin America … and therefore is false," he said.
History confirmed that the reports in question had already been prepared to solve the situation of those who promoted the aforementioned productions using their names.
According to the trailer, the production to be released on March 2 will address the birth of dictatorships by feeding people's feelings.
Likewise, governments that seek ultimate power through the division of society are classified as "Machiavellian minds".
TEPJF FINES SERIES CREATORS
It was in September 2019 when the Specialized Chamber of the Electoral Court of the Judicial Authority of the Union (TEPJF) sanctioned the creators and promoters of the populist documentary series in Latin America, which during the 2018 electoral period launched an intense campaign to promote the audiovisual protagonist of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador Then a candidate for the "Together We Will Make History" coalition.

AMLO fails to fulfill 90% of its promises, accuses yes to Mexico; Most of them are education and health
The Supreme Council decided that the campaign was aimed at influencing previous elections. Through a statement, TEPJF reported that penalties will be applied in relation to public transport bus advertising and television. However, one of the forums that had the most impact was on social networks as the campaign had a greater impact than other media outlets. However, this activity was not reviewed by TEPJF.
During the election period, numerous reports were released of an organized operation of the WhatsApp messaging service, in which strings of text messages were posted reporting the alleged transmission of the documentary series on television. Production company Piña Digital SRL de CV, which has disappeared from the Internet, promoted the series through Twitter, Facebook and Instragram, with users denouncing paying promotions.
The series has also been promoted by politicians who are formed today as being the most confrontational towards Lopez Obrador in the digital realm, and it also highlights Fernando Belonzaran, today one of the main promoters of Futuro 21, which seeks to be a counterweight to the election year. 2021 and Javier Lozano Alarcon, former spokesman for Presidential Candidate Jose Antonio Med Coripriania, of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).
Both actors were campaigning, the former PRD legislator was running for federal lawmaker, and had participated in the documentary. While Lozano Alarcón promoted it from his Twitter account. None of them qualified for penalties by the Electoral College.

A new technique for the decontamination of organs before transplantation using ultraviolet and red light irradiation has been developed by Brazilian and Canadian researchers and is described in an article titled "Inactivating hepatitis C virus in donor lungs using light therapies during normothermic ex vivo lung perfusion," published in the journal Nature Communications. The research was partially conducted at the Optics and Photonics Research Center (CEPOF), hosted by the University of São Paulo (USP) at São Carlos in São Paulo State (Brazil).
"This biophotonic technique is revolutionary, as it helps avoid the transmission of diseases during organ transplantation," said Vanderlei Bagnato, full professor at the University of São Paulo, director of its São Carlos Physics Institute (IFSC-USP), and principal investigator for CEPOF.
Bagnato's group partnered with researchers at the University of Toronto in Canada, which has the world's largest lung transplantation program, having performed 197 such surgeries in 2018 alone. According to thoracic surgeon Marcelo Cypel, who heads the service, the number of transplants could be higher if organs could be decontaminated, especially when the prospective donor has a chronic viral infection such as hepatitis C.
"Ten patients have so far been tested [using the biophotonic therapy]," Cypel said. "The new technique significantly reduced transplant organ viral load in eight of these patients. The procedure all but eliminated the virus in two others."
The method described in the article involves ultraviolet and red light irradiation to reduce viral and bacterial loads in infected organs to prevent the transmission of diseases such as hepatitis to transplant recipients. According to Bagnato, the technique was initially developed to treat lungs, but is being adapted for livers and kidneys. "This should greatly improve postoperative conditions for transplant recipients," he said. "It will also enable us to use organs that we must currently reject because of the level of contamination."
Lungs are decontaminated before transplantation by replacing blood with a preservation liquid in a procedure known as perfusion that was developed in Canada by Cypel. "Perfusion reduces the viral and bacterial loads, but cannot eliminate them completely. As a result, the patient has to be treated with antibiotics and antivirals for three months after the transplant," Cypel explained.
"Thinking about ways to further reduce or eliminate the viral load in organs for transplantation, specifically hepatitis C virus, I considered the possibility of using ultraviolet light decontamination methods, which are commonly employed to decontaminate blood, for example. So about four years ago, we began partnering with Bagnato and his team at São Carlos. He and his colleagues came over to visit us and study the technique. Only a month later, they sent us the first prototype of the ultraviolet irradiation decontamination machine."
"The biophotonic decontamination technique developed at our São Carlos laboratory consists of two specific procedures performed concurrently," said Cristina Kurachi, a professor at IFSC-USP and a participant in the project.
During perfusion, while the liquid circulates in the lung to be transplanted, clinicians add molecules to the lung tissue, and biophotonic decontamination takes place directly in the organ through irradiation with red light with a wavelength of 660 nanometers (nm) until photodynamic oxidation eliminates the microorganisms in the tissue.
"The ultraviolet irradiation directly destroys microorganisms by breaking down the molecules present in bacteria and viruses. The bacteria are killed, and the viruses are completely inactivated. Red light irradiation decontaminates indirectly via photosensitization," Kurachi said.
"The perfusion solution is special and very expensive," Bagnato said. "It's made in such a way as to preserve the organ. Because of the cost, as little as possible is used in the procedure. Thanks to the technique and equipment we've developed, a liter of the perfusate can be flushed through the organ hundreds of times to remove the contaminants completely."
The method was first tested on human lungs rejected for transplantation to determine whether the tissue viral load could be reduced by irradiation. According to Cypel, the viral load was found to have fallen drastically after the procedure. "The next step was to subject pig lungs to the same procedure and then transplant them to see if the procedure caused any biochemical or morphological damage to tissue. It did not," Cypel said.
Finally, the technique was tested on patients. "In the first ten transplants we performed, the new technique eliminated hepatitis C virus from organs donated to two patients. In the other eight patients, viral load fell sharply after surgery but rose again seven days later, and the patients had to be given antiviral treatment for three months," he said.
"An important finding was that when the virus wasn't eliminated it reappeared in the patient's lab tests after seven days. With this information, we've since performed two other transplants where antiviral treatment concentrated in the first week after the operation. The virus was eliminated in both cases," Cypel said.
According to Bagnato, this biophotonic therapy will be refined to assure even sharper reductions in the viral and bacterial loads, increasing the chances of successful transplants. "Our aim is to have light-based therapy eliminate all viral and bacterial contaminants in organs to be transplanted. If so, it may even be possible to do without the perfusate," he said.
"All this has only been possible thanks to the philosophy introduced by FAPESP's RIDC program, which encouraged us to collaborate internationally and at the same time produce practically relevant knowledge," Bagnato said.


A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been signed by Terma and Lockheed Martin, confirming future opportunities for Terma to pursue additional component production beyond their current contracted agreements for the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter.
According to Terma, its President and Chief Executive Officer, Jens Maaløe, and Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Executive Vice President, Orlando Carvalho, were on hand for the ceremonial signing of the MOU that allows for continuation of existing opportunities for Terma to provide best value composite and bonded assembly work for the F-35 beyond Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) Lot 11.
"The MOU that we signed today is strong evidence of Terma's present and future position on the F-35 program, and it shows how collaboration can benefit Terma, Danish Industry, and the F-35 program as a whole. Terma has established a solid and reliable technology base for our future involvement in the program beyond LRIP 11. At present, Terma is preparing for further investment in technology and production facilities," said Maaløe.
In 2013, Terma entered into a long-term agreement with Lockheed Martin for the manufacture of composite and bonded assembly parts for all variants of the F-35. The Danish company has also signed additional agreements for F-35 work with Northrop Grumman Corporation, BAE Systems, General Dynamics, and Marvin Engineering. Terma explains it has been collaborating with Lockheed Martin since 1976 with the F-16 program, and since 2000 as a partner on the F-35 program.
"Lockheed Martin has appreciated the good fortune of enjoying more than 30 years of successful relationships with Danish industry on the F-16, C-130, and F-35 programs," said Carvalho. "Signing this MOU today with Terma reinforces Lockheed Martin's commitment to Danish Industry." Terma's involvement in the F-35, since Denmark entered the program in 2002, comprises eight different production programs within advanced composite structural parts and electronics. To date, Danish industry has received orders in excess of USD 300 million.


For some time, I have intended to devote one post to the fartlek…."speed play" for runners.
Swedish Olympic coach Gusta Holmer invented the strategy after reviewing his country's military training exercises, which used varied pace brisk walks and jogs to increase fitness.
Typically, a steady-paced, short or medium-distance run is injected with intervals, hill repeats or tempo runs. Physiologists characterize the fartlek as the training continuum; every system of the body is affected.
If speed work has not been a part of your regular training, the fartlek is a good introduction before hitting the track for more intense work. Begin with easy terrain (flat, not hilly; smooth not rough), for shorter distances and slower speeds. Begin with 4-8 speed bursts at 10k pace over a distance of about a quarter-mile or 2 minutes each during a 20-30 minute session. Total mileage, including warm-up and cool down, will range from 3 to 6 miles. Be conservative with pace and recovery.
The goal is to minimize the stresses on the body as it eases into harder work. Stick to one overload factor, speed. Adding another, such as the resistance of steep hills, would increase the level of difficulty too much in the early stages.
You can fartlek three ways – by landmarks, by time, or in combination. Pick targets, of varying distances away, to run briskly to – the top of a hill, the next lamp-post. These intervals can be structured or unstructured; in other words, the same time/distance repeats or variable. Eventually, it should be as easy or hard as you choose.
Even if you know none of the landmarks, it sounds like a fun run.
As you progress, the advanced fartlek will train both the mind and the body. Run between a little harder than the introductory fartlek pace to almost as grueling as race intensity, including hard training on the flats, along with both up- and downhills.
If you want to be challenged, push yourself to the edge of what you can tolerate, then go again before fully recovering.
In fact, fartlek is a fair description of life after all.
Next Post If your spleen falls out of your body, give me a call.

David Povich
David Povich, prominent defense lawyer, dies at 87
Against seemingly impossible odds, he won an acquittal for an assistant U.S. attorney seen on videotape taking bribe money from undercover agents
David Povich, a partner at the premier Washington law firm of Williams & Connolly who once won an acquittal for an assistant U.S. attorney seen on videotape taking bribe money from undercover agents — an entrapment case in which he warned prosecutors against prematurely assuming they had caught their "big fish," died Aug. 19 at his home in the District. He was 87.
The cause was mantle cell lymphoma, said his sister, Lynn Povich, an author and former Newsweek journalist.
Mr. Povich, whose father was Washington Post sports columnist Shirley Povich, joined Williams & Connolly in 1962 and became a specialist in white-collar criminal defense, federal criminal investigations, government contracts, corporate disputes and personal-injury lawsuits. He occasionally handled divorces of prominent Washingtonians, including the stormy alimony battle between Sen. John G. Tower (R-Tex.) and his second wife, Lilla, who was Mr. Povich's client.
His most notable case began with a massive 1975 sting operation, a joint endeavor of local police and federal agents, to clamp down on millions of dollars in stolen goods, including government-office machinery, credit cards and other hot items.
Undercover agents posed as Italian American gangsters running a warehouse in Northeast Washington, where they began a fake business in office-equipment supply that would serve as a fence for purloined merchandise and videotape the transactions. Customers rolled in, including addicts and thieves as well as prostitutes. One prostitute mentioned an assistant U.S. attorney who had been her client and, perhaps inclined to take bribes, had thrown a case involving her friend in return for sex.
While the matter was not related to the initial undercover mission, it piqued the interest of law enforcement officials. They asked the prostitute to act as a middleman between the federal prosecutor, Donald E. Robinson Jr., and agents posing as organized-crime figures who wanted to make a "business deal" for inside information about grand juries.
Robinson accepted and later said that he did not tell his bosses, fearing embarrassment about his private life. And he claimed his wife received threatening phone calls at home, which persuaded him to return to the purported "Mafiosos" and try to make a deal. Robinson was subsequently seen on videotape accepting $700 in bribes. The recordings also seemed to depict him weighing whether the money was sufficient.
"This case involves a crime that was never contemplated until the police decided they would go out and try to corrupt an assistant U.S. attorney," Mr. Povich said during Robinson's trial. The government, he said, "induced" his client to commit the crime.
A federal jury in 1976 acquitted Robinson of bribery and obstruction of justice. Mr. Povich used his client's relationship with the prostitute as part of the defense, arguing that Robinson, a 32-year-old married father of three, "wasn't hiding corruption" by accepting the apparent the bribe, but instead "hiding his association" with a sex worker. Mr. Povich said Robinson feared gangsters who claimed to have knowledge of his carousing and seemed intent on harming his family, perhaps violently, if he did not carry out their wishes.
"Beware of police when they think they've got the big fish," Mr. Povich said at the time. "When the temptation becomes too great, the methods become drastic."
Robinson, who subsequently moved to New York, was disbarred in that state in 1979 for what a New York State Supreme Court called violations of his "oaths and obligations as an attorney and public officer" stemming from the legal battle.
The high-profile case, won against seemingly impossible odds, burnished Mr. Povich's reputation. When representing defendants nabbed in sting operations, he counseled, lawyers should use the word "enticement" rather than "entrapment" and present their clients as momentarily greedy opportunists rather than hardened criminals. "They could go through the rest of their life without committing an unlawful act," he told The Post.
Even when Mr. Povich was unable to win an acquittal, he often succeeded in reducing a client's prison sentence.
He represented Rep. Charles C. Diggs Jr., a Michigan Democrat and Congressional Black Caucus founder convicted in 1978 of running a payroll kickback scheme in his office. Mr. Povich argued that Diggs should not go to prison because he had suffered the tarnishing of his reputation and the diminishment of his finances. "There is no necessity to further punish him," he argued. Diggs served seven months of a three-year prison term.
Nathan David Povich was born in Washington on June 8, 1935. He graduated in 1954 from the private Landon School in Bethesda, Md., then from Yale University in 1958 and from Columbia University's law school in 1962. He retired from Williams & Connolly in 2014.
In 1959, he married Constance Tobriner, whose father, Walter, became the last president of the D.C. Board of Commissioners. In addition to his wife, of Washington, and sister, of Manhattan, survivors include four children, Douglas Povich of Chantilly, Va., Johanna McDonough of Washington, Judith Noglows of Little Silver, N.J., and Andrew Povich of Montclair, N.J.; a brother, TV talk-show host Maury Povich of Manhattan; and 10 grandchildren.
He was a member of Adas Israel Congregation in Washington and served on Landon's board. In their father's honor, he and his siblings helped create the Shirley Povich Center for Sports Journalism at the University of Maryland's journalism school and Shirley Povich Field, a baseball stadium in Rockville, Md.
Mr. Povich restored a 1950 Jaguar roadster and was a judge at Jaguar antique-car shows. With one of his law partners, he also owned sailboats, including one named Confrontation.

Sunrise Movement Calls on Biden to Stop Compromising With Republicans on Climate
Protesters with the Sunrise Movement block a vehicle entrance at the White House as they demonstrate against what they say is slow action on infrastructure legislation, job creation and addressing climate change, as well as against attempts to compromise with Senate Republicans in Washington, D.C., on June 4, 2021.

As President Joe Biden looks to cut an infrastructure deal with Senate Republicans by dramatically curtailing the size and scope of his American Jobs Plan, activists with the youth-led Sunrise Movement gathered outside the White House Friday morning to make clear that compromising on climate action to appease the GOP is unacceptable.
Varshini Prakash, Sunrise's executive director, said in a statement that by rolling back his infrastructure ambitions to cater to Republican lawmakers, Biden is betraying the young people who helped him win the presidency.
"I was invited to the Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force to help Biden craft policy that was in line with what is necessary to meet the crises facing our nation," Prakash said. "Biden moved towards us, promising us a future, and in exchange, we worked tirelessly to get him elected. We held up our side of the deal, but now that Biden is in power, that promise of co-governance with progressives and young people has disappeared."
The president has "spent more of his time meeting with a Republican Party who to this day contests he is the democratically elected president," Prakash continued. "It's time to meet with us, the young organizers that elected him, instead. This moment demands an infrastructure package that will stop climate change and create millions of good jobs in the process, and we won't stop until he delivers."

Sunrise activists arrived at the White House with a series of demands, including:
No compromise, no excuses. Democrats must take their power seriously and stop negotiating with a GOP who is not serious about climate action or delivering for the American people.
Meet with the people who elected you. We demand that Biden sets up a meeting with Varshini Prakash and other youth organizers to hear our demands on infrastructure. Negotiate with us, not the GOP.
Pass the boldest jobs and climate package with a fully funded Civilian Climate Corps. Coming out of a global pandemic where we are facing massive unemployment and the constant threat of the climate crisis, we need an infrastructure package that includes a CCC that would put over 1.5 million Americans to work in good paying jobs while combating climate change and building a sustainable future for our generation.
Friday's action marks Sunrise's first White House protest directly targeting Biden since he took office in January, but the group vowed in a press release that it "will not be the last." The organization has previously called on the president to support $10 trillion in spending over the next decade to combat the climate emergency and create millions of good-paying union jobs.
"Sunrise Movement is using this protest as a call to action, recruiting young people from across the country to join them for an even larger rally in late June," the group said Friday.
The demonstration came amid growing progressive backlash against Biden's compromise offer to Senate Republicans, an infrastructure proposal that would slash the president's initial American Jobs Plan in half and leave in place the 21% corporate tax rate established during the Trump administration.
Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) warned Thursday that he "would have a very difficult time voting yes" on Biden's latest proposal, which Senate GOP negotiators are expected to counter as early as Friday.
"No Republican vote in favor of an infrastructure package should supersede our mission: to build an America that works for the people, not for massive corporations," said Bowman. "Getting Republicans on board is not necessary. Getting the American people back on their feet is."
We've watered bills down for GOP support before. It doesn't work. @POTUS has the power here and he should act like it.
We need to secure a bold infrastructure package for people that meets our needs. No compromises, no excuses. https://t.co/EV5cfkLZ49

Progressives have long feared that any bipartisan deal Biden reaches with the GOP would come at the expense of ambitious climate action, which Republicans oppose. In their latest offer to the White House, a group of Senate Republicans led by Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) called for just $257 billion in new spending over eight years, slashing Biden's proposed investments in renewable energy and other priorities.
"If we learned anything from this year alone, the GOP is not the party that I think Biden idealizes," Ellen Sciales, Sunrise's press secretary, told Politico on Thursday. "Voters in 2022 and 2024, young people, are not going to ask whether or not Joe Biden was kind to Shelley Moore Capito — they don't even know who that is. They're going to see whether or not he dealt with the climate crisis and created millions of good jobs."

C.J. Polychroniou,


Damn, all my eVouchers are gone!
Seems to be only 10% of sales items, were you able to get the full 25%?
I must be unlucky, it keeps giving me 10% on every LEGO (on sale or not).
Weird because it worked fine on the Bike shoes I ordered.
Ok, but it applied 10% on a set that wasn't on sale.
Yep, waiting on my Hudson's Bay card for that promo.
25% would have been nice on top of the 20% as it would have been the same as 40% but no need for the Hudson's Bay card.
does this 40% require a the Bay credit card?
if someone try it, please let us know!
Just to remind everyone about the HBC 40% SAVE40 code.
