Introduction. The patients in situations of "being ill" have to face not only pain and disabilities, but also problems in their social relationships. Perceptions of illness are results of reactions to the changes in the existential situations, and that these correspond to determined illness coping strategies.
Aim. The aim of the research was to determine the relationships between perception of illness and social support, with the indicators of the adequacy of the renal replacement treatment and the level of urea as a biomarker of disease offset.
Material and methods. The study was conducted on a group of 150 patients who were on chronic hemodialysis, and who were suffering from end stage renal disease. The patients were treated at on of the several Fresenius Medical centres. As a group, average Kt/V value was 1.45 (SD=0.22) and the URR ratio 71.78 (SD=5.95). Moreover, average urea concentration before HD equaled to 133.78mg% (SD=39.68) and after hemodialysis – 38.22mg% (SD=14.60). The research procedure was based on a questionnaire study. This applied three standardized scales: the Imagination and Perception of Illness Scale (IPIS), the brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-Brief) and the Berlin Social Support Scale (BSSS).
Results. Patients who exhibited higher values of urea concentration in the blood serum measured before HD, perceived their disease (IPIS scale) as causing more motivation loss to carrying out specific activities, as well as mental and physical sphere destruction, pessimism and lost control over the disease. What is more, higher values of urea reduction ratio (URR) positively correlate with the loss of control over the disease (r=-0.20, p=0.024). Moreover, patients characterized by higher values of urea concentration in the blood serum before hemodialysis, evinced greater need for social support (BSSS).
Conclusions. The need for social support among ESRD patients treated by hemodialysis does not correlate with dialysis adequacy indicators. Furthermore, the level of urea marked before hemodialysis exhibits an interdependence with psychological determinants of illness perception and social support.

Kungliga Konsthögskolan (KKH), oftast skrivet Kungl. Konsthögskolan, "Mejan", är en svensk statlig högskola med lokaler på Flaggmansvägen 1 på Skeppsholmen i Stockholm. Här återfinns även Galleri Mejan. Kungliga Konsthögskolan avskildes 1978 från Kungliga Akademien för de fria konsterna, Konstakademien, som sedan 1780 haft sina egna lokaler i Konstakademiens hus på Fredsgatan 12 i Stockholm, för att bli en fristående högskola. Men först 1995 hade all undervisning flyttats till Kungliga Konsthögskolan på Skeppsholmen. Fram till 1978 var Konstakademien också huvudman för Kungliga Konsthögskolan.

Historik

Kungliga Konsthögskolan har sitt ursprung i den av Gustav III grundade Kungliga Akademien för de fria konsterna (Konstakademien).

Skola för slottsdekoratörer
I samband med bygget av Stockholms slott startades 1735 en skola för slottsdekoratörer. Efter fransk förebild skulle konstnären få en mer teoretisk utbildning än hantverkaren. Till Akademiens grundare räknas Carl Gustaf Tessin och arkitekten Carl Hårleman.

Arkitekturskolan KKH
År 1773 tillkom Akademiens byggnadsskola med fullständig arkitektutbildning. Efter Kungliga Tekniska högskolans tillkomst 1876 flyttades utbildningen av arkitekter till arkitekturskolans institution vid Kungliga Tekniska högskolan. Skolan var en utveckling av den tidigare arkitekturutbildningen under Konstakademien i Stockholm. Man kan på så sätt säga att utbildningen vid KTH tillsammans med vidareutbildningen vid Arkitekturskolan KKH (Arkitekturskolan vid Kungliga Konsthögskolan), är den äldsta arkitekturutbildningen i Sverige. Idag erbjuder Konsthögskolan en påbyggnadsutbildning med inriktning på arkitektur, arkitekturhistoria och restaureringskonst. Arkitekturskolan KKH är en ettårig svensk vidareutbildning för arkitekter vid Kungliga Konsthögskolan i Stockholm, även kallad Mejan. Efter att länge ha varit en egen fackskola eller sektion (med sektionsbokstaven A) vid KTH ingår verksamheten idag, tillsammans med verksamhet inom byggnadsteknik och lantmäteri, i Skolan för arkitektur och samhällsbyggnad.

Galleri Mejan
År 1780 flyttade Akademien in i egna lokaler vid Fredsgatan 12. Huset var en gåva från styckgjutaren Gerhard Meyer och det är från honom skolans smeknamn Mejan härrör. Separatutställningar av avgångsstudenter i fri konst visas under merparten av året på Galleri Mejan. Även andra aktiviteter kan förekomma. Att bygga och installera en separatutställning är en viktig del i varje examenstudents undervisning. Ungefär en vecka efter vernissagen har varje separatutställning en kritisk genomgång i seminarieform. Seminarieformen handleds av den utställande studentens professor.

Nybyggda lokaler
År 1995 flyttade Kungliga Konsthögskolan till nya verkstäder och ateljéer på Skeppsholmen, men redan 1953 flyttade Konsthögskolans skulpturavdelning till Båtsmanskasernen, när deras lokaler i Sergelhuset i centrala Stockholm skulle rivas för att ge plats åt det nya Hötorgscity. Anläggningen på Skeppsholmen består av två delar, "Tillbyggnaden" som innehåller verkstäder och elevateljéer samt "Mellanrummet" som förbinder den ursprungliga byggnaden (Kasern III) med "Tillbyggnaden". Tillbyggnaden och Mellanbyggnaden uppfördes 1993 till 1995 efter ritningar av Gösta Edberg arkitektkontor. Som inredningsarkitekt anlitades Nyréns arkitektkontor, uppdragsgivare och byggherre var Statens fastighetsverk.

Lejonet och svinet utanför entrén är avgjutningar av de skulpturer som står i farstutrappan till Konstakademiens hus på Fredsgatan. Originalgjutformarna i gips infördes av Nicodemus Tessin d.y. från Italien i slutet av 1600-talet. Se även: Slottslejonen och Medici-lejonen.

Den 21-22 september 2016 härjades Båtsmanskasernen av en kraftig brand.

Move over Raspberry Pi, here is a $4, coin-sized, open-source Linux computer
Submitted by gma on Fri, 11/04/2016 - 06:15
(Adrian Kingsley-Hughes for Hardware 2.0) Looking for a small, cheap Linux-powered computer to put at the heart of your project? Is "coin-sized" small enough? Is $4 cheap enough?Four bucks buys a lot of hardware these days, and nothing highlights this more than a project like the VoCore2 Lite.
VoCore2 is an open source Linux computer and a fully-functional wireless router that is smaller than a coin. It can also act as a VPN gateway for a network, an AirPlay station to play lossless music, a private cloud to store your photos, video, and code, and much more.
The Lite version of the VoCore2 features a 580MHz MT7688AN MediaTek system on chip (SoC), 64MB of DDR2 RAM, 8MB of NOR storage, and a single antenna slot for Wi-Fi that supports 150Mbps.
All this for $4.
Spend $12 and go for the full VoCore2 option and you get the same SoC, but you get 128MB of DDR2 RAM, 16MB of NOR storage, two antenna slots supporting 300Mbps, an on-board antenna, and PCIe 1.1 support.
Both versions of the VoCore2 have a power consumption of 74mA at standby, and 230mA at full speed. With this low power consumption, a small 9800mAh battery pack can power it for more than four days.
You can power the system from any power supply in the range of 3.2V to 6.0V. There's also an optional extra dock that allows you to clip the tiny computer to another board that offers a headphone jack, USB 2.0 port, RJ45, and micro SD card slot.

In New York State, a person is guilty of Criminal Possession of Stolen Property if they knowingly possess stolen property and intend to either benefit personally from its possession or prevent the owner from recovering it. A person need not have actually stolen the property to be guilty of this offense, and possession can be constructive as well as physical or actual.
Criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail. If the value of the property in question exceeds $1,000, it is criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth degree, a Class E felony that can lead to over a year in prison. If the property value is more than $3,000, the crime advances in class to third degree, a class D felony punishable by 1-7 years in prison. Criminal possession of stolen property in the second degree applies when the property is worth more than $50,000. Classified as a Class C felony, it can lead to 1-15 years in prison. If the property value exceeds $1 million, it is criminal possession of stolen property in the first degree, a Class B felony punishable by 1-25 years in prison.
Anyone accused of criminal possession of stolen property must contact a criminal defense attorney before speaking to the police, as being found guilty can result in lengthy prison time as well as fines and probation.
Receiving stolen property worth at least $5,000 is a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. § 2315: a person must knowingly receive, conceal, or dispose of stolen property that has been transported across state lines. To be guilty of the offense, the accused must be aware that the property was stolen, but they need not know that it constituted a part of interstate commerce. If found guilty, a fine and prison sentence of up to 10 years may apply.
Not knowing that stolen property was in one's possession, not knowing that the property was stolen, and infancy / mental defect are all viable defenses.
On April 30, 2014, Gerald Spears, 39, Samuel Santana, 36, and nine others were indicted for skimming credit cards from a Manhattan restaurant, creating counterfeit checks, and illegally ordering credit reports to obtain additional details on victims whose information they had already stolen. The defendants are charged with Identity Theft in the First Degree, Scheme to Defraud in the First Degree, Grand Larceny in the Second, Third, and Fourth Degrees, Forgery in the Second Degree, Criminal Possession of Stolen Property in the Fourth Degree, among other charges.

Yahoo hack highlights the need for strong passwords and reset old ones
News that Yahoo was breached back in 2013, and the personal information of more than one billion of its users was stolen, should serve as a reminder that everyone's email and personal information is vulnerable to hacking.
hiddenDec 15, 2016 08:46:48 IST
Yahoo has been hacked - again. News that the struggling internet company was breached back in 2013, and the personal information of more than one billion of its users was stolen, should serve as a reminder that everyone's email and personal information is vulnerable to hacking.
Safeguards you can take include creating strong passwords and changing them when you have to. Yes, all this is a pain, and it's not your fault that the tech industry hasn't been able to stem the rise in security breaches. But if you do nothing, you could be putting your personal or financial information - or even your identity - at risk.
What's a good password?
The more complicated and lengthy a password is, the harder it will be for hackers to guess.
Don't include your kids' names, birthdays or references to any other personal details. Hackers routinely troll Facebook and Twitter for clues to passwords like these. Obvious and default passwords such as "Password123" are also bad, as are words commonly found in dictionaries, as these are used in programs hackers have to automate guesses.
Long and random combinations of letters, numbers and other characters work best. Your password reset questions should be as unique as possible too, and don't be tempted to recycle those either. This was some of the information stolen in the Yahoo hack. And with the help of social media, it's not hard for hackers to find those little personal tidbits like what your mother's maiden name is, or the name of your hometown.
Is it ok to reuse passwords?
No. Avoid using the same password for multiple sites, so that a break of your school's PTA site wouldn't lead hackers to your online banking account. You can make things easier on yourself by using a password-manager service such as LastPass or DashLane. They remember complex passwords for you - but you have to trust them. Last year, LastPass disclosed "suspicious activity" and told users to change their master passwords.
Some web browsers such as Apple's Safari and Google's Chrome also have built-in password managers. They work if you switch devices but not if you switch browsers.
Should I change my password?
While some security experts argue that it's more important to pick a complicated password than to change them frequently, if you haven't changed your Yahoo password since 2013 do it now.
And even if you have changed your Yahoo password in the last three years, you might want to do it anyway. Breaches are often worse than they first appear. LinkedIn disclosed earlier this year that a 2012 breach affected 117 million accounts- not the 6.5 million previously thought.
What more can I do?
Multi-factor identification - which asks users to enter a second form of identification, such as a code texted to their phone - will provide additional protections. It's now commonplace for many email and social media accounts. Even if hackers manage to get your password they still need your phone with the texted code.
Should some accounts be trashed?
Delete or deactivate accounts you no longer use. Has your Yahoo email account been filled with spam since before the invention of smartphones? Maybe it's time to say goodbye. That goes for social media too, (remember Myspace?). This often can be done through your account settings - as long as you still have your password to sign in.
What about social media security?
And while we're on the subject of social media, make sure you restrict posts to just your actual friends. You can adjust that in the settings. Some companies try to help their users with this. Facebook, for example, occasionally prompts its users to review who can see their personal information and how strong their security settings are.
Nonetheless, assume that everyone everywhere can see what you're posting. That'll keep hackers from harvesting those juicy details they can use to crack into your accounts.

Will the Trump Administration Approve a Military Deal Between Honduras and Israel?
Allowing the deal would be a powerful sign that the new administration plans to revive the Nixon Doctrine.
By Greg GrandinTwitter

If you want to know how Donald Trump's Latin American policy will play—and how he might deputize Israel to conduct a good bit of it—keep an eye on Honduras.
Honduras is both the coal mine (a country on the front lines of intensified energy extraction, mostly in the form of highly destructive and violent biofuel production) and the canary (the place where democratic activists, including those fighting deforestation, are killed at accelerating rates) of US foreign policy. In 2009, as Nation readers know, a decent, democratically elected, president, Manuel Zelaya, was ousted in a coup that was quickly legitimated by then–Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The post-putsch government consolidated some of the worst elements in Honduras: most importantly, a global financed-landed class committed to stepping up peasant dispossession; clear-cutting forests to plant lucrative African palm (especially in the Aguán Valley); and emboldened security forces, which, when they aren't acting as death squads for landlords, are supposedly fighting a global war on drugs. If this were an honest war, most in the officer corps would have to summarily line themselves up against the wall, put their guns to their heads, and give the order to fire. They are the ones either running drugs or providing protection to those running drugs. Dana Frank sums it up: "On the one hand, we're supposedly fighting a drug war there and pouring money into their military and police. And on the other hand, the government we're supporting is widely alleged to be interlaced with drug traffickers at the highest level."
To wit: The excellent Honduras Culture and Politics blog just reported that Honduras's current minister of security—in charge of internal public order, the penitentiary system, and the national police—retired general Julian Pacheco Tinoco "was implicated as being part of a Honduran government drug trafficking ring by a DEA informant according to testimony provided by US Federal Prosecutors" at a drug-running trial taking place in Florida. The informant is José Santos Peña, a Mexican drug trafficker who used to work for the Sinaloa cartel.
Prosecutor: What was your meeting with Mr. Pacheco about?
Santos Peña: It was so that he could give me help to receive shipments from Colombia to Honduras. He was in charge of a part of the security in Honduras.
Prosecutor: What type of shipments?
Santos Peña: Cocaine.
Honduras, especially since the 2009 coup, provides no end of such revelations and outrages, including the execution of peasants by, according to The New York Times, "a commando-style squad of Drug Enforcement Administration agents," which "accompanied the Honduran counternarcotics police." Most recently, Honduras's current president, Juan Orlando Hernández, has been greenlighted by the Congress and judiciary to run for a second term—an act that justified the 2009 coup in the first place (though, in fact, Zelaya wasn't proposing that he be allowed to run for a second term).
In any case, in 2014, the post-coup government passed a law authorizing its army to shoot down suspect civilian planes. It was a step too far for Obama's State Department, which, since Honduras technically isn't a country we are at war with, administers military aid. According to Dan LaMothe at Foreign Policy, the law
codifies the Honduran military's ability to shoot down the planes, in violation of the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation treaty the nation signed in 1953. The CIA used to participate in similar shootdowns through its Airbridge Denial Program, feeding information to local governments in Peru and Colombia that their militaries used to shoot down civilian planes believed to be running drugs. The program was eventually killed after the Peruvian jet shot down by its military killed an American woman acting as a missionary and her infant child in 2001, causing an uproar.
Earlier, in 2012, Honduras shot down two planes using radar information provided by the United States, leading Washington to temporarily stop sharing such information. The 2014 law supposedly led to a permanent ban on aerial intelligence; the US still works closely with Honduras on maritime intercepts.
So Honduras turned to Israel, with President Hernández and Minister of Defense Samuel Armando Ryes Rendon recently flying to Jerusalem to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman to sign a bilateral security cooperation agreement. The agreement includes $200 million in defense contracts, and entails "the refurbishment of the Honduran Air Force's entire helicopter fleet, as well as many of its fixed-wing aircraft. These include US-made F-5 and A-37 jets and Bell UH-1 Hughes 500 "Huey" helicopters." But US objection to Honduras's "no-fly" narco zone could scotch the deal, since, according to The Jerusalem Post, "a State Department official confirmed that US approval must be sought for a third-party transfer to maintain or upgrade US technology on any aircraft of US origin."
Shooting down planes does nothing to slow drug flow. Traffickers, in response, adjust flight routes, fly low, or move to fast boats (Venezuela passed a "shoot down" law in 2012, and regularly takes down small planes along its border with Colombia, yet there's no evidence that it reduces drug trafficking). But it is easy to see a Trump administration giving the go-ahead. As head of the Pentagon's Southcom, Trump's nominee for Homeland Security, John Kelly, was close with Juan Orlando Hernández, cheerleading the Honduran president's hard line.
Honduras is a small, relatively inconsequential country, but if the Trump administration sanctions the Israeli-Honduran deal it would confirm what seems likely: that its foreign policy would rest heavily a revived "Nixon Doctrine," that is, using proxies to do its security work (a "doctrine" that, despite its name, is not exclusive to Nixon). It would also extend Israel's warrant in Latin America. According to the website, InSight Crime, Israel:
has a long history of providing equipment and training to other countries in Latin America, most recently Argentina. At times, this cooperation has generated controversy, as was the case when Israel sold surveillance equipment to the government of former Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli, who allegedly used it to spy on his political opponents. Additionally, a two-part report published last year by the human rights group Privacy International raised concerns that Israeli technology firms, along with counterparts in the United States and Europe, had helped Colombia construct a "shadow mass surveillance system in the absence of clear lawful authority, safeguards against abuse and opportunities for public scrutiny." Israel also provided helicopters during the 1980s to the government of former Guatemalan dictator Efrain Ríos Montt which were reportedly used during operations that resulted in massacres of civilians. [NB: As Gabriel Schivone, and others, have noted, Israeli military aid to Guatemala in the 1980s extended well beyond supplying helicopters.] And a 1991 US Senate investigation found that Israeli mercenaries provided equipment and training to Colombian drug traffickers in 1988 and 1989.
Now, as in the 1980s in Guatemala, the relationships built by these security deals are more than mercenary; they help to draw together ideologues who see the world as one big Gaza or Aguán Valley and diplomacy as occupation management.

Your gutter system is not something you'll want to ignore. If you notice any issues, whether your gutters are leaking, beginning to sag, pulling away from your roof, or displaying general wear and tear, you'll need to give them attention. Ignoring your gutters if they're not in good condition could lead to potential water damage to your home, from the roof down to the foundation of your house. Here at Park Heights Roofing in Towson, we can perform a thorough inspection of your gutters to determine whether repair or replacement is necessary. We can also perform first-time gutter system installations for new homes.
To schedule a gutter inspection or to request a gutter installation service in the Towson area, contact us at Park Heights Roofing by calling us at (410) 358-1257 today.
You notice that your gutters are leaking following rainfall or a gutter cleaning.
When it rains, your gutters tend to overflow.
Your gutters are sagging in places or have begun pulling away from the roof.
Your downspouts aren't directing water away from your home.
Your home's eaves are damaged.
There's damage or erosion present around the foundation of your house.
Getting your gutters inspected on a regular basis can help prevent minor issues from growing a lot worse. Not to mention that fixing problems with your gutters can help prevent major water damage from occurring.
One of the issues that often leads to water damage is clogs. Your gutter system is likely going to get clogged if it's not cleaned out on a regular basis. Things like branches, leaves, dirt, and more, can all cause clogs in your gutters. When your gutters get clogged up, the rainwater your system collects won't be able to drain out properly, causing it to overflow. This, in turn, can cause water to leak into your roof, exterior walls, windows, and foundation. Instead of having to worry about cleaning your gutters regularly, you should consider installing gutter guards.
Gutter guards fit securely over your existing gutter system. They will help prevent debris from collecting in your gutters, thereby preventing clogs. Our gutter guards will help maintain the aesthetic of your home and are weather-resistant to boot. Contact us for information about installing gutter guards in Towson today.

Deadwood In My Blood: Boone May, Gale Hill, Shotgun Messengers on the Deadwood Stage, and Their Historic Families
March 22, 2017 9:39 am By Patricia A. Leave your thoughts
Volume 2 features U.S. Deputy Marshal Boone May, the most famous shotgun messenger working for the Deadwood Stage. He was the protector of Robbers' Roost Station. He was the most feared lawman by road agents on the Deadwood Trail. Historians will be excited to learn about Deadwood's most lethal gunslinger, Boone May, and his family connections to other historical Wild West icons, such as the legendary outlaw Jesse James, and legendary lawman U.S. Marshal Bass Reeves. The author gives first hand family accounts about Boone May and his family. I located a velvet photo album full of cabinet cards and tintypes in the loft of an old barn which are featured in the series. This story is about two pioneer families that produced half of the first "elite eight" guards employed to protect the Deadwood Stage in 1876. Shotgun messengers Gale Hill, Boone May, Jim May, and Bill May had been overlooked for more than a century, according to many historians familiar with early Deadwood. Boone May was undoubtedly the most active shotgun messengers employed by the Black Hills Stage and Express Company, during the height of the Gold Rush.
From Monasteries to Multinationals and Back: How Beer Explains the World by Johan Swinnen and Devin Briski

The history of beer is the history of civilization. Changes in beer consumption and brewing did not only follow from scientific and economic changes but also played a major role in social, political, economic and scientific innovations and change. This book tells that story – from an economic, political, and historical perspective. The sample outlines the main themes of the book and presents a proposed outline of five parts (including 22 chapters in total), and explains why the book is unique in its approach and its focus.

Page McKenney, who thus far haven't missed a race in his respective MATCH Series division, will seek to bolster his position in the standings when the series returns to Monmouth Park July 29.
The grade III, $150,000 Monmouth Cup (3-Year-Olds and Up Long–Dirt Division) and the $75,000 Wolf Hill Stakes (3-Year-Olds and Up Sprint–Turf Division) are among seven stakes on a 14-race Sunday program featuring the grade I, $1 million Haskell Invitational. The Monmouth Cup is the eighth race and the Wolf Hill the 11th race.
Adam Staple and Jalin Stable's Page McKenney, the 8-year-old Pennsylvania-bred gelding who has earned almost $2 million in 57 starts, tops his MATCH division with 17 points and is the only one of six entrants in the Monmouth Cup with a start in the series. It will be his third divisional start, which will qualify him for bonus money.
Page McKenney's 17 points have him tied in the overall MATCH Series standings with Sycamore Racing V's Jessica Krupnick, the current leader of the Filly and Mare Sprint–Dirt Division.
Trained by Mary Eppler, Page McKenney won the grade III Salvator Mile and finished second in the grade III Philip H. Iselin Stakes, both at Monmouth. He is scheduled to face Jeral Keith Adams' Remembering Rita, who won the grade III Cornhusker Handicap at Prairie Meadows in his last start, and 2017 Long Branch Stakes winner Phat Man, who in his only start this year won an allowance race at Churchill Downs in late June.
The Monmouth Cup is the longest race in the division at 1 1/8 miles. Page McKenney has four wins, five seconds and two thirds in 12 starts at the distance.
Colts Neck Stables' Name Changer made his MATCH Series debut a winning one in the grade III, $150,000 Monmouth Cup at Monmouth Park July 29.
It was the first graded stakes win for the 5-year-old Uncle Mo horse and second stakes tally overall in 15 starts for trainer Alan Goldberg. Name Changer earned 10 points in the MATCH Series 3-Year-Olds and Up Long–Dirt Division and is now tied for second with Harlan Punch, winner of the grade III Philip H. Iselin Stakes, second leg of the five-race division.
Division leader Page McKenney remains on top with 22 points, which includes the five he picked up for finishing third in the Monmouth Cup. He also qualified for MATCH bonus money with his third start in the division.
Name Changer, ridden by Jose Ortiz, rated just off a moderate early pace before making a bid for the lead on the far turn. He was able to hold off a stubborn Zanotti, who rallied from near the back of the six-horse field in the 1 1/8-mile race. The winning margin was a half-length.
Name Changer covered the distance in 1:49.56 on a track rated fast and returned $10.40 to win. He entered the Monmouth Cup off of an even third-place finish in the July 14 Carl Hanford Memorial Stakes at Delaware Park, but Goldberg indicated he expected a better effort that afternoon.
Page McKenney, who sat in fourth, made a bid on the far turn but couldn't get closer than 5 1/2 lengths behind the leader. He earned $15,000 in purse money to move a bit closer to the $2 million earnings mark and is the only horse thus far to qualify for MATCH bonus cash in the 3-Year-Olds and Up Long–Division.


Two days and a morning Cafe Gitane breakfast before heading to the airport in New York just isn't enough… but I'll take a quickie any day! Plus, this was the first time we were back in New York together as a couple in over two and a half years (for some reason our work trips just haven't coincided). Regardless, we were excited to be able to swing any kind of East Coast hang sans Rex for a few days thanks to awesome grandparents! Straight off the plane we tossed our bags in our hotel room and went out for a night walk. (Side Note: Maybe we're getting old, but flying during the day is way better than a red-eye. It was so nice to arrive at a normal hour and not feel like a zombie.) Back to our night walk! Hands down my favorite way to spend any night in New York!… taking in the familiar buzz and energy of the city. The people watching! And those late night crowds out to dinner… at the same restaurants that were popular years ago. Walking around in the evenings, reminiscing, it felt like nothing had changed. New York is great like that. Although so much has changed, so much still feels comfortingly the same. Oh and, of course we had to get a late night slice of pizza before heading in for the night.
For some reason I always feel the need to stop by our old apartment, so our first morning back we walked from our hotel in Soho, hand in hand as if we'd never left, straight to our old walk-up on Carmine Street. It always makes me a little sad to see the streets in the West Village turn over with new restaurants and shops. I wish time would stand still, same friendly barista faces and all. But of course such is life and new changes are exciting to see as well. One aspect that made me sad this trip was how empty Bleecker Street is these days. So many boutiques and shop stores are now vacant which is such a bummer.
Additional highlights from this trip also included cozying up at one of our old go-to's Smith & Mills for afternoon happy hour, and dinner at Beatrice Inn where we dined on the best duck we've ever had! Was so New York-romantic, we just love that spot! I hosted a happy hour with Blue Diamond Almonds (more on that to come) and we spent a day exploring Cobble Hill, an area of Brooklyn I hadn't spent much time in previously.
I pretty much always stay at The Ludlow Hotel whenever I go back to NYC now, but it was all booked so we played another nostalgia card and stayed at the Soho Grand. The first hotel we ever stayed in New York together (before we moved into Manhattan).
Note: These Rachel Comey mules (on sale!) are still not cheap but have been my favorite investment this spring! I love the low heel, they're crazy comfy (I walked miles in them in New York), and add just the hint of color to my typically all-neutral looks.
In true California girl style the only items I bought on this trip were all from California designers. Go figure. Stopped into the new Jenni Kayne in Tribeca for a peek, and it's such a pretty space! Their pre-fall collection is looking good (shown here).
Another spot that I made sure to pop into this trip: Roman and Williams Guild–a must! I left so inspired by this space–part store, Parisian café and bakery, and flower shop. So incredibly curated, and beautiful. It's definitely pricey but go for the gorgeous decor inspiration.


ST. LOUIS – A felony at large warrant has been issued for the arrest of a St. Louis pastor known for supporting families impacted by gun violence.
Pastor Ronald M. Fraction, 63, was charged with unlawful use of a weapon and shooting into a motor vehicle, a Class E felony.
According to the probable cause statement, on February 9, police were called to the Gulf Gas Station on the 5700 block of Natural Bridge. Witnesses told police at least one shot was fired at a vehicle.
Police said surveillance video showed Fraction shooting a gun at a vehicle as it was driving away from him. No word on what led up to the shooting, if the vehicle was struck, or if police have identified the other vehicle or the driver.
Fraction is the pastor at Mount Chapel Missionary Baptist Church in north St. Louis. He has also served as a volunteer chaplain with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department for at least five years, according to a spokesperson with the department.
As a pastor and chaplain, Fraction has helped families cope with loss and tragedy, including some highly publicized stories involving children shot while in vehicles.
Fraction was also there for the family of Markel Parker, 6, who was shot several times while riding with his dad and brother to football practice. After that shooting, the Post said Fraction met with prosecutors to push for mandatory minimum sentences for anyone convicted of shooting into a car when a child is a passenger.
In January 2017, Fraction marched with a crowd after Toni Stevenson, 15, was ambushed by masked gunmen while she was driving home from basketball practice. Fraction spoke with Fox 2 at that event about violence in the city.
"We must learn to change our minds and our hearts and our attitudes and do something totally different because the young generation, they are the future," said Fraction. "If there is no young generation, there is no future."


…for the time being anyway, I wear my Aggie ring somewhat more proudly knowing that it was UT's paper that spewed forth the above sub-Malkin cartoon.
For anyone harboring any shred of sympathy for the position espoused by the UT thing, track down Tuesday night's episode of The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell – and specifically the performance thereon of Zimmerman-apologist Joe Oliver. Jerry Springer 'guests' do a better job of looking spontaneous and non-fake than that character did.

Inspire and educate: that's the reason Dallas entrepreneur and author Tony Hartl wrote his first book, and it's the reason he donated his first $10,000 of book profits to The Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) this week: a wonderful early Christmas gift for at-risk youth!
Hartl's book, Selling Sunshine: 75 Tips, Tools, and Tactics for Becoming a Wildly Successful Entrepreneur, was released last January and has since won the coveted Axiom Bronze Award for Entrepreneurship for 2011, has received rave reviews from many publications including DCEO Magazine, and was recently recommended by the Pittsburgh Business Times. Hartl plans to ultimately donate 100 percent of the proceeds from Selling Sunshine to NFTE.
Tony Hartl, founder and former CEO of Planet Tan, has always been dedicated to social entrepreneurship. Hartl wants "to provide programs that inspire young people from low-income communities to stay in school, to recognize business opportunities and to plan for successful futures." And NFTE does just that. NFTE's mission is to teach at-risk students about entrepreneurship; helping them summit the most difficult peaks in their own lives and preparing them for the future.
In addition to his support for NFTE and his role as a socially-conscious entrepreneur, Hartl is also an avid athlete and mountain climber currently training for a Mount Everest climb. In 2011 Tony climbed Grand Teton in Jackson, Wyoming, cycled 750 miles through Central Italy, and sailed around Greece all while doing his daily runs.

Before beginning any hardscaping project, it's best to check your local regulations. Your city or homeowner's association may have stipulations regarding the type of materials and elements you can include in your yard. Fencing is often regulated by local statues, which limit the height and materials you can use. Some areas of Tucson also require that hardscaping blend into your softscaping—the plants in your yard—naturally to preserve the desert landscape.
Hardscaping is designed not only for beauty, but functionality as well. Adding hardscaping to your yard makes it more enjoyable in addition to improving your home's curb appeal. Focus on creating usable spaces that appeal to you and your family.

 Ten development trend of water parks-Analysis from Chimelong Water Park and Universal Studios Volcano Bay Water Park - Trend four - Guangzhou Haisan Amusement Technology Co., Ltd.
The fourth trend is not only entertainment, but also leisure. We generally understand that visitors to the water park are entertaining, play one project and then another project, then go on to the next project, play for a few hours a day, play enough, then go, we see Changlong not only entertainment is also leisure. The first photo is the packaging of the restaurant. In addition to this photo, the vegetation around the park is very lush. After entering it, I feel that I am still in the downtown area. Now, when I am in a place where I am isolated, my heart will be calm, including There are many kinds of green ecological factors, not emphasizing whether it is a Mediterranean theme or a Hawaiian theme. It is a green ecology. After the visitors come, it is comfortable, not the same as usual life.
For example, the drifting river in Chimelong water park, the theme of making snow and ice in the middle is also a very casual experience. The drifting river is not always in a rhythm. When it reaches this place, it slows down. The temperature and humidity felt by tourists are different. Visitors really like this change. Normally, people's energy can't always be at a high point of emotion. It is necessary to go down. People need to rest for 4 or 5 hours. People need to replenish energy. Going to the restaurant is a choice. Is it possible to offer more choices, such as a pool like this, a lounge chair in a very good environment, so that visitors can regain their energy here, let them have a space to enjoy with the family and children, let them reach Take the family out for the purpose.

Climate/Justice
Union Exchange
Healthy Planet, Healthy Workers
By James Hutt August 12, 2016 Summer 2016
PHOTOGRAPH: JOSHUA BERSON
For the first time in over a decade, Canada has a government that is not ideologically opposed to even talking about climate change. Instead of criminalizing environmentalists, muzzling scientists and actively lobbying on behalf of the oil industry, Trudeau has promised a new age of cooperation.
Before the election, he committed to developing a national climate strategy by the end of 2016. Last March, all 13 provincial and territorial leaders met in Vancouver to develop that framework.
As the next step, Trudeau has promised to hold countrywide consultations to give people input into the development of the strategy. This is the perfect moment for the labour movement to lead the fight for a solution that tackles unemployment and catastrophic climate change.
By tackling inequity and creating good, unionized jobs, a climate strategy could represent a giant leap forward for the labour movement — but only if we force politicians to act.
ONE MILLION GOOD JOBS
A national climate strategy holds incredible potential for the labour movement. That's why the Canadian Labour Congress teamed up with a number of environmental organizations and First Nations to deliver a proposal to the prime minister in advance of the Vancouver meeting. The proposal, called "One Million Climate Jobs," presents a plan to address poverty and tackle climate change by creating jobs.
The plan calls for an $80.9 billion investment over five years in renewable energy, green building, energy efficiency and public transit. While that figure seems high, it amounts to a five per cent increase in the federal budget. Plus, it would create over one million good jobs in five years. A national climate strategy could be the perfect tool to reduce inequality and unemployment.
Yet most premiers are still intent on developing fossil fuel projects and Trudeau still trumpets pipelines. While in opposition, he criticized Harper for not doing enough to push the Canada-U.S. Keystone XL pipeline, construction of which, according to NASA climate scientist Jim Hanson, would mean "game over" for the climate.
Then last April, the National Post revealed that Trudeau had ordered staff to develop plans to make sure Canada's two most controversial pipelines become a reality: Energy East and Northern Gateway.
Energy East would transport over one million barrels a day of Alberta crude to New Brunswick, primarily for export. Northern Gateway plans to twin an existing pipeline to pump an additional 590,000 barrels a day to Burnaby, BC, for export.
Together, both threaten hundreds of small towns and First Nations communities, and over 1,000 water ways — including much of BC's south coast.
EXTREME FIRES, VIABLE ALTERNATIVES
In May, Canada experienced one of the worst natural disasters our country has ever seen. The devastating wild fire tore through Fort McMurray, displacing over 100,000 people and destroying much of Northern Alberta. While it is impossible to directly link a specific fire to climate change, a warming planet means extreme fires will become more likely and even more severe.
The science is crystal clear. If we want to avoid the worst impacts of climate change then we need to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius. That is the upper limit of survival for millions of people around the world.
For Canada, that means unequivocally rejecting all new pipelines. It's impossible to reduce emissions if Canada is still expanding its extraction of the most polluting oil on the planet.
A number of recent reports, including a landmark study by a global team of researchers at Stanford University, have demonstrated that Canada could switch to renewables by 2030. Indeed, renewable energy sources are already powerful and efficient enough to be a viable alternative.
Environmental groups and the Canadian Labour Congress have called for an end to fossil fuels by 2050. The extra 20 years provides a realistic timeline that also allows Canada to retrain workers as it gradually shuts down all oil, coal and natural gas projects.
It's time to start that transition. More than 100,000 people have lost their jobs since the oil industry's downturn in late 2014. Building new pipelines will do little to fix that. Oil prices are stuck at their lowest point in almost 30 years and show no signs of recovery in the near future.
At the same time, renewable energy continues to grow. Wind and solar are the fastest-growing sources of energy in the world. The International Energy Agency estimates that renewables will make up 26 per cent of global energy production by 2020.
With an abundance of wind, solar, geothermal and tidal sources, Canada is well-equipped to harness that growth. What's more, investing in renewables creates three times more jobs than investing in fossil fuel.
WORKERS CAN LEAD THE TRANSITION
The rate of unionization of all workers has been falling for decades. In 1982, it was 38 per cent. In 2014, it reached an historic low of 28 per cent. That downward trend will continue unless unions find ways to organize new sectors of workers.
The last couple of years have seen innovative campaigns to organize fast food workers, janitors, and online media workers. Yet, few unions have considered the potential growth from the renewable energy sector.
Instead of chasing an industry in decline, Canada could eliminate the $2.7 billion in annual subsidies to the oil sands, and invest in training workers for new industries. In fact, that's already happening, it just needs to be scaled up.
Iron and Earth, a non-profit organization led by oil sands workers, plans to retrain over 1,000 oil and gas electricians in solar installation within three years. By investing in the sectors of the economy that are already low-carbon and that provide a public good, Canada can create good union jobs.
One thing is certain: if left to politicians, the climate strategy will fall short of what we need. It will lack emissions targets that offer any meaningful chance to avoid runaway climate change.
Perhaps even worse, it will forego opportunities to transition our economy away from corporate greed to one of greater equality.
It's time to put the decision into the hands of workers. Over the next several months, MPs will be holding consultations and seeking input from constituents. Unions, locals and labour councils can turn the climate strategy into a nation-wide demand to put an end to precarious work and rampant unemployment.
Labour activists from coast to coast to coast can lead the transition away from fossil fuels and towards good green jobs that will reduce inequality and, at the same time, increase the power of the labour movement.

England boss excited about Croatia rematch at Euro 2020
London — England manager Gareth Southgate waved away suggestions Croatia will be afraid of playing his team at Wembley in their opening game at Euro 2020 after they came out in the same group at Saturday's draw in Bucharest.
The teams will face off on June 14 in Group D in what is likely to be a pivotal game in determining who tops the section, which will also include the Czech Republic and a play-off winner.
Southgate was told Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic feared the prospect of going to Wembley right at the beginning of the tournament, with London one of 12 European cities chosen to host matches.
"I think he's been tactically economical with the truth there," was Southgate's response.
England beat Croatia 2-1 at home last year in the Nations League, having drawn 0-0 away.
However, the most significant recent meeting of the nations came in the 2018 World Cup semi-final in Moscow, when Croatia won 2-1 in extra time.
"We have had three really good games, really tight games with them, with very little between the teams all three times," Southgate added.
"I think in the last game in their midfield they left (Chelsea's Mateo) Kovacic on the bench which tells you a little bit about the quality of the players that they have, and it's quite an interesting contrast really.
"They have hugely experienced players, right throughout the team, who have played big matches.
"We are at the other end of the scale, very young, a lot of energy, but still learning and improving."
Southgate was also asked if the match offered a real chance to exact revenge for that painful World Cup exit as England missed out on a first major tournament final since 1966.
"I think you can never make up for losing in a World Cup semi-final unfortunately.
"We felt that after the Nations League. It was great to win that game but it didn't in any way redress it — if I was the Croatians, I know which game I'd rather have won, so I think that will be long gone, but it is a really attractive fixture for everybody."
England's second game will be on June 19 against a team to emerge from the play-offs next March, either Norway, Serbia, Israel or Scotland.
They will then have a final home group game against another familiar opponent in the Czechs, whom they trounced 5-0 at Wembley in qualifying but lost to 2-1 in Prague.
"They are two teams who we have had really good results against and also poor results, so it is not a group we can be complacent about," Southgate added.
The Czechs will be returning to Wembley, the scene of their defeat by Germany in the Euro 96 final. Southgate will also be forever linked to that tournament after missing a penalty in the semi-final shoot-out loss to the Germans.
England is now preparing to host games at a major tournament for the first time since then, with Wembley also having a last-16 game as well as both semi-finals and the July 12 final.
"The tournament was a brilliant experience in '96, that's the thing that is in my mind. For the players to experience that, for our fans to experience that, and for the three group matches to start with is going to be extra special," Southgate said.
The problem for England is likely to come further down the line, however.
If they win their group, they will face the Group F runners-up, probably Germany, France or Portugal, in the last 16 in Dublin.
Victory in that game would take them to a Rome quarter-final, possibly against Spain. Finishing second in their group may actually be the preferable path.
"In the end you want to try and win every game you play and at least have control of your destiny," Southgate insisted. — AFP.

Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift Feud: Justin Bieber And Other Reasons Behind BFFs' Rift
Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift have been friends for years now. However, this year, the two were not seen celebrating Thanksgiving together as it was rumored that the former Disney child star turned down Tay's invitation. Is this the end of friendship for them? Are they feuding?
The Kill Me With Kindness hit maker has always been part of Taylor's squad and all these years while she is recovering from her breakup with Justin Bieber, Tay has always been there for her. Things between them got tensed as it was lately rumored that Gomez gave Biebs another chance when he started communicating to her again while she was in a rehab in Tennessee for depression a few months ago.
This made the Bad Blood singer mad and 'livid' in that she wrote angry note to Selena that ends their friendship on the spot. Gomez, meanwhile, reacted badly to it as it made her "went from sad to angry very fast," according to Inquistr.
This is not the first time that the two close friends are reportedly feuding. Back in June, the Shake It Off singer got wind of a possible Jelena reunion which caused tension in their friendship in such that they were not on speaking terms anymore since then.
These rumors were pointed to have caused a rift between the two close friends and thus, ended up with Selena not spending Thanksgiving with Tay. Then again, another source presented another reason, this time, a more positive one, explaining why Selena turned down her pal's invitation.
According to Hollywood Life, the Same Old Love singer just wanted to spend the celebration with her family and she wanted to prioritize spending time with them these days.
As to reports that the two were not communicating anymore, the source debunked those rumors saying that the two singers were actually getting in touch with each other every day and will find some time to hang out very soon.
Taylor Swift reportedly acted like a backbone to Selena Gomez in her entire breakup and recovery phase from Justin Bieber.Tay had listened to Gomez' endless complaints about being cheated on. But in the end, will still witness her best friend trying to rekindle her relationship with her old flame Justin Bieber.
