Jennifer Aniston is not pregnant
Despite a recent InTouch cover story that claimed Jennifer Aniston is expecting a baby girl with fiancé Justin Theroux, it appears the actress is not pregnant.

"She's not pregnant," one source told Us Weekly.
Jennifer Aniston, who recently returned to the West Coast following an NYC jaunt with Justin Theroux, complained to pals in March that she ate too much in Manhattan.
Following her NYC trip, Jennifer Aniston returned to work on the L.A. set of upcoming indie flick Cake, where she was photographed last month from a side angle – revealing a supposedly fuller tummy.
The InTouch story also claimed that Justin Theroux was a "changed man," going from "commitment-phobe carouser to doting dad-to-be overnight" following Jennifer Aniston's alleged pregnancy.
A source close to Justin Theroux says that while the couple is not yet expecting any little ones, they are open to having a family in the future.
Jennifer Aniston pregnant?
UsWeekly claimed Jennifer Aniston is pregnant with her fiancé Justin Theroux with an excited cover line, "Jen's Big Secret, Pregnant!".
However, Jennifer Aniston's rep strongly denies the story.
UsWeekly printed a rep denial, but still proceeded to detail how Jennifer Aniston, 44, has been trying very hard to hide the fact that she is expecting a child with Justin Theroux, 42.
"She's thrilled!" a source tells the weekly magazine.
The source adds that the couple, that fell in love on the set of Wanderlust, is "extremely happy' and this 'is the baby Jen always wanted", adding the child is due in 2014.
The weekly publication claims Jennifer Aniston has been struggling to hide her "growing bump" as she promotes her two films We're The Millers and Life Of Crime.
The magazine also reports Jennifer Aniston has had to rethink her wardrobe after wearing a tight-fitting purple satin Burberry dress at the New York We're The Millers premiere on August 1.
"Her stylist had to redo her whole press tour wardrobe," a source tells the publication.
UsWeekly claimed Jennifer Aniston is pregnant with her fiancé Justin Theroux
Instead of asking designers to borrow outfits in bigger sizes to accommodate Jennifer Aniston's expanding waistline (which would alert several people that the beauty was gaining weight), the stylist had to go to clothing stores and buy new dresses by Alexander McQueen and Chanel straight of the rack, the article details.
Though Jennifer Aniston did not look pregnant at the September 15 Toronto Film Festival premiere of her new film Life Of Crime, the article claims she relied on a Vivienne Westwood gown that had a corset inside and layers of fabric over the stomach on the outside to hide her baby bump.
Jennifer Aniston also didn't look pregnant as she sunbathed in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in August, but UsWeekly had an answer for that too: she constantly tried to hide her stomach with a towel or wrap.
There are other arguments that support the claim the actress is pregnant.
Sometime in September Jennifer Aniston canceled a Smartwater photo shoot and said it would be a "while" before she could reschedule.
Jennifer Aniston also has no movie projects lined up, which is odd for her because she usually works nonstop.
The actress and her fiancé has already moved into their new gated $21 million Bel-Air home in LA, which at 8,500 square feet has plenty of space for a nursery.
On September 7, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux were spotted loading up on groceries for their new kitchen (though most likely not eggs as they have their own chicken coop on their property). Jennifer Aniston wore a baby doll dress that completely hid her mid-section.
There are no plans yet for her wedding to Justin Theroux but Jennifer Aniston continues to wear her engagement ring whenever she steps out.
There are no plans yet for a wedding because, "the baby is taking priority", says the source.
In 2005, after her split from Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston told Vanity Fair: "I've never in my life said I didn't want children. I did and I do and I will."
In 2011, Jennifer Aniston said that becoming a mother, "resonated with me in my twenties and my thirties and it still does
Jennifer Aniston admits kids question annoys her
Jennifer Aniston has revealed there is one question more than any other that annoys her – the kids question.
Speaking on Good Morning America on Wednesday, Jennifer Aniston, 44, said she recognizes all the tricks used by interviewers trying to bring up the subject of her starting a family.
Jennifer Aniston said she knows it's coming when she is asked: "Something about family and trying to relate it to the movie with, <<Oh, if I was to have a child how many kids do I want?>>."
And "do I want a boy or a girl?" the actress said in an interview with ABC News correspondent Amy Robach.
Speaking on Good Morning America on Wednesday, Jennifer Aniston said she recognizes all the tricks used by interviewers trying to bring up the subject of her starting a family
"I didn't realize you could place orders, I honestly didn't realize it was like a drive-through, that you could talk to a little electronic voice."
Jennifer Aniston explained: "My friends and my partner are truly my family."
The star – who is engaged to actor Justin Theroux – was speaking out during an interview to promote her new movie We're the Millers in which she plays a club dancer.
Jennifer Aniston said she had her doubts about the role: "I said yes thinking <<wouldn't that be great>>, thinking, <<well, I've never played a stripper, at least not in film>>.
"Then this panic sets in three weeks, two weeks, one week before the actual day of shooting."
Jennifer Aniston revealed she worked out six days a week in preparation for the role.
"Honestly it was the craziest workout. My diet has always been pretty clean but I think I was super, super strict, especially in terms of, I'll usually cheat once or twice a week and I just kind of didn't."
Jennifer Aniston also revealed she and Justin Theroux are in no hurry to tie the knot. The pair who became engaged last year have been subjected to rumors that their relationship is on the rocks.
"I surround myself with my amazing work, my amazing friends, my amazing partner, my beautiful dogs … and I tune that noise out.
"I mean, I think it's very sweet that people want everything for me," Jennifer Aniston said, adding that she's "so content and happy" where she is.

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux delay next month wedding
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux have decided to delay their wedding for a few months – because they can't agree on the size of the bash.
Jennifer Aniston, 44, wants a bigger do – while Justin Theroux, 41, wants a smaller, intimate affair and they are now set to tie the knot at the end of the summer, rather than at a spring-time ceremony.
The couple were reportedly getting ready to say "I do" next month, but Jennifer Aniston has been busy producing her upcoming movie Call Me Crazy: A Five Film and had been forced to put all planning for her nuptials on hold.
When asked if she had picked her gown at the premiere of her Lifetime movie at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood last week, Jennifer Aniston said: "No, no, no."
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux have decided to delay their wedding for a few months
"I don't have a dress. I like to be very spontaneous."
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux were engaged last summer, and since then, fans have been waiting with bated breath to see her walk down the aisle.
Sources close to Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux said they are expecting the wedding to be at the end of the summer, just before Labor Day Weekend.
Although it has been taking up so much of her time, Jennifer Aniston is proud to have worked on Call Me Crazy – a compilation of five short films focusing on mental illness. The actress insists the project tackles a subject that suffers from a negative perception and stigma that needs to be addressed.
Jennifer Aniston said: "Mental illness seemed to be [a topic] that a lot of us felt was an important one and touched a lot of our lives, a lot of our families lives. That seemed like one that needed attention because all of the stigma around it and the sort of shame around it."
Adonis Tsilimparis, Jennifer Aniston's first boyfriend, speaks out about their high school relationship
Jennifer Aniston's first boyfriend, Adonis Tsilimparis, has spoken out about his fleeting high school relationship with the Hollywood star.
Jennifer Aniston might have dated a string of the world's most desirable men, including Brad Pitt and John Mayer, but musician Adonis Tsilimparis was the first man to pucker up with the A-list actress.
It might have been over 30 years ago, but the seventh grade romance between the 12-year-olds is still fresh in his memory, and he even has a Valentine's Day card to prove it.
"Dear Adonis," Jennifer Aniston had written.
"Love & Friendship Always. Jennifer A."
Now working as an author of musical scores for TV and film, the New Yorker told the New York Daily News that the two youngsters used to sneak behind a school staircase to "make-out".
"She was very open, very, very sweet. She was very, very loving, and she had a very big heart," Adonis Tsilimparis told the paper.

Adonis Tsilimparis went on to claim that, although he had tried, he hadn't got any further than kissing with the now superstar: "I tried. But she didn't let me…We used to go to the back stairs at school at lunchtime and make out."
Even though Jennifer Aniston, 43, is now happily engaged to actor Justin Theroux, her first boyfriend still remembers her fondly.
"She was just goofballs…But that's why I loved her. Total clown, very lovable and that's why everybody liked her," Adonis Tsilimparis said of the actress.
While he went on to say that he didn't remember how the young couple split, classmate Tom Friedner, who also had a brief romance with Jennifer Aniston, said that Adonis Tsilimparis ended it.
Jennifer Aniston shows off engagement ring in Santa Fe
Jennifer Aniston revealed her engagement in August but carefully kept the ring under wraps – until now.
The actress' huge diamond was hard to miss on Saturday as she appeared in an affectionate display with her fiancé Justin Theroux.
They were spotted out in Santa Fe at the weekend, enjoying a break in the New Mexico region.
Jennifer Aniston was taking well-deserved hiatus from her latest project, We're the Millers, which has been filming in Albuquerque.
Jennifer Aniston's huge diamond was hard to miss on Saturday as she appeared in an affectionate display with her fiancé Justin Theroux
As the pair left their accommodation, the blonde bombshell, 43, flaunted her huge jewellery piece as she caressed her partner's face, prompting him to smile.
The stone glimmered as she stroked Justin Theroux's arm which was covered in his signature leather jacket.
He donned black jeans, biker boots and scarf with cool aviator shades.
And Justin Theroux was quite the gentleman as he carried out their luggage leaving the former Friends star to simply look stunning.
Jennifer Aniston also fashioned jeans and scarf, which she held in her hand, enabling her diamond to be all the more noticeable.
The couple announced their engagement in August after Justin popped the question on his 41st birthday.
She was spotted wearing a thin gold band shortly after, but this is the first sighting of the huge diamond.
Meanwhile, the pair is reported to have chosen their holiday destination as their wedding location.
A source told OK! Magazine: "Jen has fallen in love with New Mexico, it has a very relaxed vibe that fits both her and Justin perfectly, so it would be a great place for them to have the wedding."
Jennifer Aniston gets engaged to Justin Theroux accepting the proposal on his birthday
Jennifer Aniston got engaged to partner Justin Theroux on Friday, after he popped the question during his birthday celebrations.
Justin Theroux' spokesperson confirmed to People: "Justin Theroux had an amazing birthday on Friday, receiving an extraordinary gift when his girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, accepted his proposal of marriage."
"They're great friends," the spokesperson added – a cheeky reference to the sitcom that made Jennifer Aniston famous in the Nineties.
The engagement news comes on the weekend rumors swirled that Jennifer Aniston's ex-husband Brad Pitt set to be marry Angelina Jolie, his partner of seven years and the mother of his six children, at their French home.
Their romance was infamously shrouded in whispers that they embarked on a relationship while Brad Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston – having met on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2004.
Jennifer Aniston got engaged to partner Justin Theroux on Friday, after he popped the question during his birthday celebrations
However, as news of the wedding has still not been confirmed and insiders are claiming that next weekend is "a far more likely date", Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux have stolen their thunder.
The couple, who has been dating for more than a year, was first seen together in May 2011.
Just two months later, Jennifer Aniston placed her Beverly Hills mansion on the market for $38 million, before buying a palatial LA Bel-Air home with Justin Theroux in January of this year – for a reported $22 million.
Jennifer Aniston, 43, and Justin Theroux, 41, both starred in Wanderlust together, a comedy flop with Paul Rudd about a modern New York couple trying to escape society by moving to a commune in Georgia.
However, while the news will come as a surprise to her fans – it seems that it came as an even bigger one to her father, John Aniston.
The veteran Days of Our Lives actor, 79, was apparently not aware that actor-screenwriter Justin Theroux had proposed to his daughter on the North Carolina set of her new film, We're the Millers, on August 10.
He told celebrity website Celebuzz: "It's the first I've heard about it. It's a surprise to me. I'll have to look online. When I find out more, I guess I'll tell you!"
When it was explained that Justin Theroux proposed to Jennifer on his birthday, John Aniston added: "It sounds very romantic."
John Aniston has described Justin Theroux as a "charming young man", and gave his seal of approval saying: "I think they make a wonderful couple."

LSE Brexit
The elephant in the room: Brexit and the EU's Global Strategy
With the UK's referendum on EU membership dominating the headlines, other developments at the European level have received less attention than might otherwise have been the case under normal circumstances. Pol Morillas writes on one such issue: the formulation of the EU's Global Strategy, which is due to be submitted to the European Council later this month. He writes that regardless of whether the UK votes to stay in or leave the EU, the referendum is likely to overshadow efforts to agree on and implement the Global Strategy in the coming months.
Destiny has it that the Brexit referendum will take place only a few days before discussions at the European Council on the adoption of the European Union Global Strategy. Will the most global of all EU states be executing a mandate to leave precisely at the time when the Union is adopting its first global strategy?
The Global Strategy has been a personal endeavour of the High Representative/Vice-President of the European Commission, Federica Mogherini, who, contrary to her British predecessor, Catherine Ashton, decided to take the global ambition of the EU seriously. Soon after her appointment, Mogherini expressed her readiness to update the 2003 European Security Strategy (ESS), adopted as an effort to bridge divisions over the Iraq war, with the UK having led the pro-intervention front.
Mogherini considered that time was ripe to update the contents and proceedings of the ESS, both as a response to the global transformations and the demise of key principles (such as "effective multilateralism" or the EU's normative power) and the Lisbon Treaty's provisions on EU foreign policy. Mogherini's double footing in the Council (as EU High Representative and chair of the Foreign Affairs Council) and the Commission (as the vice-president in charge of external relations) demanded bringing together the policies and instruments of a newly created EU External Action.

The European Council mandated the High Representative produce a strategic assessment of the global environment with a view to submitting an "EU Global Strategy on foreign and security policy" to the European Council in June 2016. When David Cameron announced the Brexit referendum for 23 June, a few voices argued in favour of postponing the discussions on the Global Strategy. It would not make much sense to simultaneously debate the EU's global role and perhaps trigger the Union's disintegration clause (Article 50) for the first time in history.
Over the last year, EU institutions and Member States have undertaken internal consultations on the Brexit-Global Strategy link. Eurosceptic governments have been reluctant to engage in highly ambitious discussions in view of the Brexit referendum and have suggested postponing its adoption until September. Nordic countries have hinted at the need to consult their national parliaments before adopting any kind of document, perhaps as a consequence of a growing sense of renationalisation of policy priorities at the EU level. The most integrationist countries have insisted on a "business as usual" approach to the Global Strategy, urging the June Council to proceed with its discussion.
The first effect of the Brexit referendum on the Global Strategy was the postponement of the June Council from June 23-24 to 28-29 to avoid both events clashing. It is quite likely that the discussion on the Global Strategy will take place at the June Council (not least because there is a mandate in place), but the Brexit referendum will have become the elephant in the room, both as a consequence of the effects of Brexit on the policy-making process of the strategy and the UK government's low profile in advocating an ambitious document, fearing it might endanger the Bremain campaign.
In case of Brexit, Cameron is unlikely to endorse the Global Strategy a few days after the referendum. Later on, if Article 50 of the Treaty of the EU is invoked, the Union will embark in arduous negotiations regarding the arrangement of the new EU-UK bilateral relationship. Chances are slim that the external projection of the Union will be the first priority of EU Heads of State and Government in a post-Brexit scenario. As the euro crisis demonstrated, at times of internal fracture foreign policy preoccupations tend to occupy the last position on the list of EU priorities.
In case of Bremain, Cameron will still be subject to the persistence of the European question in British and conservative politics, particularly if the result of the referendum is tight. The UK's authorities will be reluctant to play an active role in the follow-up of the Global Strategy, and here is where the conundrum becomes more complex.
Mogherini's plan is to delay the practical implementation of the Global Strategy until the September or October Council, after the June Council has "taken note" or "welcomed" the document. But by then everything will very much depend on the post-Brexit referendum situation. The UK's authorities might fear that any move in favour of EU integration (be that the endorsement of the Global Strategy or any other measure) will backfire at home and without an active UK involvement, difficulties in the follow-up of the Global Strategy will follow.
EU foreign policy history tells us an important lesson: even if the UK has always been an awkward partner (with its multiple opt-outs from crucial EU policies), it has also been indispensable in making progress in the EU's foreign policy. The 1998 Saint Malo agreements between Tony Blair and Jacques Chirac (and the subsequent birth of the European Security and Defence Policy, today the Common Security and Defence Policy) would have never been signed without a pro-European impulse from the UK.
Some have argued that Brexit might result in more integration in the "core EU" if the UK leaves. While this might be the positive outcome of a soft Brexit scenario, it is highly unlikely that the EU's global role will expand without the UK's diplomatic, security and defence clout. Plans for reinforcing security and defence cooperation are likely to involve measures in intelligence and anti-terrorism coordination as a consequence of the recent terrorist attacks in Paris and Brussels but not a joint EU army with external projection. If Brexit has become the elephant in the room of the Global Strategy discussions, the UK leaving the EU would translate into a bigger obstacle for the Union's global role.

De Macintosh LC is een personal computer die ontworpen, gefabriceerd en verkocht werd door Apple Computer van oktober 1990 tot maart 1992. De letters "LC" staan voor "Low Cost".

Dit was het eerste model in de Macintosh LC-serie, dat samen met de Macintosh Classic (een heruitgave van de oudere Macintosh SE) en de Macintosh IIsi (het nieuwe instapmodel van de Macintosh II-serie) op de markt kwam. De LC werd aangeboden voor de helft van de prijs van de Macintosh II, maar de prestaties lagen over het algemeen beduidend lager.

De LC was hoofdzakelijk bedoeld voor verkoop aan onderwijsinstellingen ter vervanging van de Apple IIGS en was ontworpen om goedkoop geproduceerd te kunnen worden, met vijf belangrijke onderdelen die door robots konden geassembleerd worden. Niet lang nadat de Apple IIe Card voor de LC was geïntroduceerd, verwijderde Apple geruisloos de IIGS uit zijn prijslijst omdat het bedrijf zijn verkoop- en marketinginspanningen op de LC wilde richten.

De originele Macintosh LC werd in maart 1992 vervangen door de LC II, die grotendeels hetzelfde was maar gebruik maakte van een Motorola 68030-processor.

Ontwerp
Behuizing: De LC gebruikte een "pizza box"-behuizing die veel platter was dan de klassieke desktop-behuizing van de Macintosh II-reeks.

Processor: De 32-bit Motorola 68020-processor in de LC heeft een kloksnelheid van 16 MHz. De LC had echter een 16-bit databus, wat een ernstige beperkende factor was voor de prestaties van de processor. Standaard had de LC geen FPU, een optionele Motorola 68881 FPU kon wel toegevoegd worden via het Processor Direct Slot.

Geheugen: Op het moederbord van de LC was 2 MB geheugen gesoldeerd. Via twee SIMM-slots kon het geheugen verder uitgebreid worden tot maximaal 10 MB. Zelfs door grotere SIMM's te gebruiken bleef de maximumlimiet 10 MB omdat de geheugencontroller van de LC niet meer geheugen kon adresseren.

Uitbreiding: De LC had geen NuBus-slots maar wel een Processor Direct Slot (PDS) voor uitbreiding. In dit PDS-slot konden onder andere een Apple IIe Card of een Ethernet-kaart geïnstalleerd worden. Er bestonden ook multifunctionele kaarten die netwerk- of video-mogelijkheden combineerden met een MMU- of FPU-socket. Door de platte behuizing van de LC werd de PDS-kaart horizontaal gemonteerd, parallel aan het moederbord.

Opslag: De LC bevatte een intern 3,5-inch diskettestation van 1,44 MB en werd geleverd met een SCSI harde schijf van 40 of 80 MB. Speciaal voor de onderwijsmarkt bestond er ook een uitvoering met een Apple IIe Card in het PDS-slot en twee diskettestations maar zonder harde schijf. De LC was het laatste Macintosh-model waarin twee diskettestations konden gemonteerd worden.

Video: De standaardconfiguratie van de LC beschikte over 256 kB VRAM en ondersteunde 8-bit (256) kleuren bij een resolutie van 512×384 pixels. De VRAM was uitbreidbaar tot 512 kB voor een weergave van 16-bit (duizenden) kleuren bij een resolutie van 512×384 pixels of 8-bit kleuren bij resolutie van 640×480 pixels.

Systeemsoftware: De LC werd standaard geleverd met System 6.0.6 en kon tot System 7.5.5 draaien. Bij gebrek aan MMU kon de LC geen gebruik maken van virtueel geheugen in System 7.

Harris visits Vietnam: What to expect?
Tu Anh 22:30, 2021/08/24
Vaccines, regional security, and climate change are expected to be discussed during the trip.
US Vice President Kamala Harris's trip to South East Asia signals the Biden administration's priority to Vietnam and Singapore as main partners in the region, analysts told The Hanoi Times, as Washington seeks to boost its engagement in Southeast Asia.

Harris is the most senior US official to visit the region since President Joe Biden took office in January. She will be the first US vice president to visit the country and depart next Thursday.
The US to broaden cooperation
According to Professor Larry Berman from Georgia State University, Harris' choice to visit Vietnam so shortly after Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin's visit shows the Biden administration's priority strengthening the comprehensive partnership with Vietnam and avoiding any potential misunderstandings in the transition from Trump to Biden policy.
"Vietnam plays a critical and pivotal role in the US policy towards Asia. Ever since he assumed office, the Biden administration has identified Vietnam as a pivotal country in its overall strategy", Larry Berman wrote in an email to The Hanoi Times about the trip.
He cited the March Interim National Security Strategic Guidance report that identified the US role in South East Asia and Indo-Pacific, which show that Vietnam and Singapore are key countries in this vision.
Meanwhile, Vietnam-US relations have gone from strength to strength, growing ever more multifaceted and deeper, said Dr. Nicholas Chapman from International Japan University.
The US has closed an investigation into currency manipulation that was started under President Trump and donated over five million doses of the vaccine to Vietnam. During Austin's visit, Vietnam and the US signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the US's assistance in locating and identifying the remains of missing Vietnamese soldiers from the war, according to Chapman.
What's on the discussing table?
In Hanoi, Vietnam, Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to meet with leaders including President Nguyen Xuan Phuc and Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and attend the launching of a regional office for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, among other activities.
At the discussion, Vietnamese and the US leaders would touch on three main areas: regional security, Covid-19, and climate change, Chapman said.
"On the regional security front, I expect a heavy emphasis on fostering a rules-based international order", the analyst said, citing that the US and China have traded barbs with each other at the UN.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken has stated that it is critical "to defend the rules that we've all agreed to follow, and peacefully resolve maritime disputes." These have been welcome words to Vietnamese leaders as Vietnam is firmly committed to those principles.
The Biden administration's policy on security in the South China Sea (which Vietnam calls East Sea) would be conveyed through Harris' trip also, he added.
On a broader view, Larry Berman believes the two countries' leaders can address burning and traditional issues including vaccines, medical support, trade cooperation and investment, regional issues, free and open Indo-Pacific, copyright protections, human rights. "There will not be agreement on all of these, but Harris will want to address them", the US professor noted.

If you are looking for a relaxing beach getaway in Spain, you need look no further than Fuengirola, which is one of Spain's most popular beach destinations known for its sandy beaches.
When you want to take a break from the beach, you can also enjoy some history in the Moorish Sohail Castle from medieval times. It has been completely renovated to serve as a stunning venue for concerts, festivals, and a medieval market. Animal-lovers and families will also want to stop by the Bioparc naturalistic zoo featuring a jungle clearing.
Though there is no shortage of things to do and see in Fuengirola, adding a fun photo shoot to the mix can make your experience more unique. A vacation photographer can help make this happen and can also give you a local's perspective to the city.


Massachusetts Also Moving To Remove Growth Measures from State's Teacher Evaluation Systems | VAMboozled!

Why couldn't AERA say that?
While MA takes growth measures out of teacher evaluation it is making them a central component of education provider evaluations. Programs will be judged on the SGP of the students of first year teachers who complete their programs. It is part of a ramping up of preservice requirements, supposedly to improve the preparation of first year teachers – the goal being that they will perform as well as third year teachers – especially in schools with high numbers of low income students where many first year teachers are employed.
Meanwhile, the same MA political forces are working hard to open more charter schools full of low income kids where teachers need not have a single day of preservice education and training. They don't even have to pass the educator tests, the MTELs, until the end of their first year. Cognitive dissonance anyone?
So great to hear that school districts are moving away from these practices!

If you are facing a DUI charge, you are likely wondering what your next step should be and are probably feeling concerned over how the potential penalties will impact your personal life.
Being convicted of a DUI can be costly, both financially and personally. You will likely be required to pay hefty fines and could even serve time in jail, which takes away your freedom.

The right attorney makes a huge influence on the penalties you receive. By preparing a strong defense for your case, you stand a chance to at least lower the possible penalties.
Jamestown, RI is located in Newport County. It's located 14 miles south of Warwick, RI. The town is included in the metropolitan area that is also made up of Providence, Fall River, and Warwick. The population of Jamestown, RI is on the smaller side with a population of just over 5,400 people. However, even though it has a smaller population, the area is not immune to drunk driving.

The state of Rhode Island has really cracked down on drunk driving and awards hefty penalties for those convicted in an effort to cut down on this offense.

Your attorney can also make a huge difference by helping to shorten or eliminate jail time so you don't lose your freedom and your job.
Even for a first offense, the penalties you face if convicted of a DUI are very severe. You face a lengthy license suspension, exorbitant fines and court fees, community service, enrollment in a driving or alcohol treatment program, and possible jail time. Fortunately, you do stand a chance of avoiding some of these penalties by choosing an attorney who is experienced, capable, and confident in the courtroom.
Not only do you face the penalties the court hands out, but you also face consequences in other areas of your life.

He will find out if there was probable cause for the traffic stop. An officer needs to have a legitimate reason for pulling you over, so probable cause must be present. Barrett will also investigate the accuracy of any field sobriety tests you had to perform and the accuracy of the breathalyzer test if you chose to submit to it at the time of being pulled over. All of these details will be put together to form a strong defense for your case.

Time, please: is drinking becoming as socially unacceptable as smoking?
Drinking is ingrained in our social life – much as cigarettes were until public health campaigns led to a huge cultural shift. With many young people eschewing alcohol, the beginning of the end of booze Britain is in sight
Hannah Jane Parkinson
@ladyhaja
Mon 23 Apr 2018 03.00 EDT Last modified on Mon 23 Apr 2018 12.23 EDT

A cool glass of sauvignon canalside in the summer. A soothing beer by a pub fire as the leaves turn red. Mulled wine with a Christmas mince pie. Alcohol is shot through British life like, well, shots on a night out. But recent trends suggest that might be changing. Could the British love of booze be drying up as surely as our passion for cigarettes?
Consider this: in 1974, half of British adults smoked; by 2017, that figure had fallen to just 16%, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The decline was a result both of public health campaigns and legislation encouraging people to cut back or stop smoking. In 2003, for instance, the branding of cigarettes as "light" was banned in the UK. That same year, EU legislation brought in health warnings on products, and in March 2006 Scotland became the first country in the UK to introduce a smoke-free law. This was followed in 2007 by legislation banning smoking in workplaces and enclosed public spaces in England (Wales and Northern Ireland also legislated against smoking that year).
The result was immediate: fag breaks at work were suddenly more frowned upon; the huddle of people outside the pub failing to light a cigarette in the driving rain came to seem pitiful. All the incremental changes – the health warnings, legislation, the images of diseased lungs on fag packets, the association with impotence – led to a genuine cultural shift. If you wanted to keep smoking, you had to be really committed (addicted, maybe?). Social and fairweather smokers dropped away.
Cigarettes and alcohol have long been linked – but for how much longer? Photograph: PeopleImages/Getty Images
Could the same trend be under way with our attitude to alcohol? Some experts believe so. It will be a huge shift, because drinking in the UK has a spirited history, stretching back thousands of years – jugs for fermenting alcohol go back to the stone age, past Hogarth's Beer Street and Gin Lane in the 1700s through to the peak modern drinking period of the 90s and early 00s. This was the Britpop era: a wasted Jarvis Cocker mooning at Michael Jackson at the Brit awards in 1996 and the hideous proliferation of garish alcopops with brand names with no vowels. That period also saw a breakdown in the social taboos around women's drinking that led to an explosion of alcohol being marketed to them. Witness the birth of the ladette and girlfriends drinking boyfriends under the table. Witness a massive overall rise in consumption.
As a society, we have always thought of drinking as a bit naughty. The language we use is telling. A "cheeky pint" after work; a "swift half"; "OK, but just one glass of merlot". Everyone has feigned resistance at one time or another – but we don't try very hard. And in recent decades, anyone who didn't want to drink was considered an anomaly. You driving? You sick? You on antibiotics? You pregnant? You, you know … (whisper it) in recovery? An answer of none of the above would elicit raised eyebrows, a puzzled expression or, more likely, mirth. Possibly even anger or dislike. In years past, people who have chosen sobriety, or rarely had a drink, have been subject to intense peer pressure. Nondrinkers became isolated – not out of preference, but because British social life has been entirely organised around alcohol. Booze sat at the head of the table at dinner parties, dominated the dancefloor and landed deals at lunch meetings.
But over the past decade, that culture has shifted. It has certainly been difficult to avoid the news that alcohol isn't good for you. The most recent reminder came last week, care of a Lancet paper, reporting that every glass of wine or pint of beer over the daily recommended limit will cut half an hour from the expected lifespan of a 40-year-old. And that recommended upper safe limit is lower than you might expect. The paper suggested five 175ml glasses of wine or five pints a week – about 12.5 units in total. Overdo it, and you are at greater risk of stroke, fatal aneurysm, heart failure and early death.
Then there's the cancer risk. There was consternation in 2016 when Prof Dame Sally Davies, the government's chief medical officer, told MPs just one glass of wine could increase the risk of breast cancer. This came just a few weeks after the recommended upper safe limit for men was revised down from 21 to 14 units a week, the same as for women.
Legislation and campaigning is having an effect on our alcohol consumption. Photograph: PatrikStedrak/Getty Images/iStockphoto
The quality newspapers interview health experts and sociologists about the problems with alcohol; the popular press shames indulgent punters (usually northern, often women) on dark high streets, hitting the chip shops at 3am. That picture of the woman lying on her back on a bench, sozzled, gets wheeled out. And there have been all sorts of schemes and campaigns designed to curb our enthusiasm for drinking. There's the Department of Transport's road-safety Think! campaign, for instance, much of which has focused on drink driving. In 2012, Andrew Lansley and the Department for Health rolled out the Change4Life campaign, while Challenge 25, introduced in 2005 by the British Beer and Pub Association, encourages people who may look under 25 to carry ID when attempting to purchase alcohol, and encourages retailers to ask for it. This has made it harder for groups of teenagers to bulk buy supermarket-own tinnies. (Attempting to enter licensed premises to buy alcohol using a fake ID is a criminal offence, carrying a maximum £5,000 fine and up to 10 years imprisonment.)
All of this legislation, campaigning and awareness raising has had an impact, just as they did on tobacco consumption. In particular, millennials (those born between 1981 and 1996) and the later Generation Z (those born after 1996), are surprisingly sober.
"Alcohol is a strange concept," says Ben Gartside, 19, a politics student at Hull University who is originally from Manchester. "Here's a liquid you can drink and it can lead to you not remembering the night before and making bad decisions." Ben is typical of many young people I speak to, in that he prefers to spend his money on food and travel rather than pub sessions.
Another young person I speak to says his family are heavy drinkers and he wanted to avoid falling into that pattern. In a broader sense, says Dr James Nicholls, director of research and policy development at Alcohol Research UK, this is quite common among young people; they are rebelling against older generations' chosen methods of rebellion. According to a 2017 ONS study, more than a quarter of 16- to 24-year-olds are teetotal, a four-fold increase on the rest of the population, with just one in 10 seeing drinking as "cool". Nicholls says that drinking among young people has been declining for a decade.
The millennials and Gen Zers I spoke to cited various reasons for their sobriety; one of the most recurrent was that between university tuition fees, the axing of maintenance grants and the sixth form EMA grant, and the perilously high cost of housing, they are pretty much broke. But they also have concerns for their mental and physical health. Lauren Clapp, 23, says booze made her chronic fatigue syndrome worse. There is also a case to be made that young people, who suffer disproportionately with mental health issues (a third of 16- to 24-year-olds have experienced a mental health issue in the past 12 months, according to one survey), are more open to talk and seek support, relying less on substances as an emotional crutch.

But not everyone is laying off, even with the growing awareness of alcohol's negative side effects. There are plenty of people who hold out for those articles proposing that red wine is good for blood pressure and cling to the glamorous champagne habits of celebrities. Drinking among the middle-aged middle classes has not declined. In fact, while some of them might feel smug to have left their binge-drinking pasts behind, their regular daily consumption might be doing more damage to their bodies, not less. In 2015, Age Concern found that higher-income groups are "endangering" their health with their drinking habits. Figures show that mortality rates due to alcohol, among people aged 75 and over, have risen to their highest level since records began in 1991.
In fact, alcohol consumption is rising among the over-50s. This is a looming crisis for the NHS, health experts warn, as alcohol contributes to diseases such as Alzheimer's, as well as a litany of cancers.
But the fact is that those who are currently middle-aged may prove to be the last generation who of boozehounds. Just as young people are changing the worlds of politics, technology and environmentalism, it is possible that this shift in the British attitude to alcohol will last the course. And further legislation and awareness is planned for the future. Next month, minimum alcohol unit pricing comes into force in Scotland.
We are not alone in this cultural shift. While many countries, particularly our European cousins, have long had a mature attitude to drinking, Nicholls says that declining interest in alcohol, especially among young people, is a worldwide trend. This is true even of countries that used to be big on the booze, such as Russia.
We don't know for sure, of course, that Britain will become a dry land in years to come – alcohol trends peak and trough, but it has never looked more likely than it does now. Drinks on me, then – it's going to be a cheap round.

ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE Our Land, Our Rights, Our Peace: Philippine delegation tours 6 cities across Canada
KAIROS hosted a five-person delegation from the Philippines, March 20 to April 5, 2017. The delegates visited several Canadian cities to speak about human rights violations in the context of mining projects, including Canadian-owned operations. The tour included stops in Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal.
The delegation included the following political, faith and Indigenous leaders:
Bishop Antonio Ablon, Anglican Church/IFI, Zamboanga del Sur
Carlos Zarate, Member of Philippine Congress/Bayan Muna PartyList
Anie Bautista, National Coordinator, Ecumenical Voice for Peace and Human Rights in the Philippines (EcuVoice)
Nenita Condez, Indigenous woman leader from Mindanao
Eufemia Campos Cullamat, Indigenous youth leader from Mindanao
The goals of the delegation were:
To raise awareness and understanding of how human rights violations and violence in Bayog and other communities in the Philippines are linked to resources extraction, including by Canadian companies, and contribute to conflict between government forces and liberation groups.
National security policies implemented by the Philippine government to protect foreign (including Canadian) investments and large scale development projects are contributing to increased poverty and conflict, and having a negative impact on the social, cultural, economic and political rights of the Filipino people.
To generate and mobilize public and Canadian diplomatic support for the ongoing peace talks in the Philippines, which include addressing the root causes of conflict and poverty.
As one of Canada's most important trade partners in Asia, the Government of Canada should play an important role in securing justice and lasting peace in the Philippines by supporting the formal peace talks between the Government of the Philippines, the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP), and Moro liberation groups.
To advocate for the KAIROS/Canadian Network of Corporate Accountability Open for Justice campaign which is calling on the Government of Canada to appoint an extractive-sector Ombudsperson to monitor Canadian mining operations overseas, and to facilitate access to the Canadian courts for non-nationals who have been harmed by the international operation of Canadian companie
Due to the connection between human rights violations, conflict, and resource extraction activities, including by Canadian-owned companies, mining-affected communities in the Philippines will benefit from an extractive-sector Ombudsperson and access to justice in Canada.
In 2014, KAIROS Canada's Philippine Learning Tour (PLT) visited communities in Bayog, Zamboanga del Sur impacted by the mining operations of TVI Resource Development Inc. (TVIRD), the Philippine subsidiary of Calgary based TVI Pacific, Inc.
After gathering information on TVIRD's operations from community members, TVIRD representatives and government officials, the PLT called on the Philippine government to investigate all claims of human rights abuses and to cease all mining operations until the safety of the local people was assured. It also called on the Government of Canada to appoint an extractive-sector Ombudsperson and to provide legislated access to Canadian courts for those harmed by the international operations of Canadian resource extraction companies.

Eufemenia Campos Cullama
Eufemenia Campos Cullamat is a Lumad woman leader from Tandag, Surigao del Sur, Mindanao. She is a council member and one of the founders of Malahutayong Pakigbisog Alang sa Sumusunod (MAPASU), and a community development worker with the Tribal Filipino Program of Surigao del Sur (TRIFPSS). She comes from a family of leaders. Her father was the 'datu' (Tribal Chief), her brother the founding chair of MAPASU, and her other siblings are also community leaders and organizers.
Femia, as is she is fondly called by her family and friends, is a mother five who makes sure there is balance between her political work and her family responsibilities. Her work is focused on ensuring that women are active participants in discussions and decisions on key issues. According to Femia, "We motivate them (the women) not to be confined in the four walls of their homes because women have a key role in raising awareness of other women and the community. I believe that whatever unity is achieved would be incomplete without women's voice and participation. We should not be content with just raising our own families. Rather, it should be in the context of the development of the entire community. We should use our time to reach out to other families, to other women in the community."
On September 1, 2015 a paramilitary group rounded up all the people in her village and killed MAPASU Chair Dionel Campos, Tribal Chief Datu Juvello, and Emerito Sarca, Executive Director of the Alternative Learning Center for Agricultural and Livelihood Development (ALCADEV). Femia and her siblings were among the first Lumad leaders to travel to Manila to give evidence about the massacre. Femia continues to work on the frontlines, organizing women and ensuring that women have a place in the struggle for Indigenous people's rights and justice.

Nenita Condez
Nenita Condez is from Zamboanga del Norte. She is the Deputy Secretary General of the Salabukan nok G'taw Subanen (SGS), a federation of Subanen groups. Nenita is a passionate spokesperson who values the importance of collective work. Since 1996 the Subanen have been dealing with the giant Canadian resource extraction firm, TVI Pacific, Inc., which began mining on Mt. Canatuan in Siocon, Zamboanga del Norte, a sacred place for the Subanen. Nenita helped organize community resistance against plans to extract copper from ancestral land that was forcibly taken from the Subanens. At one point Mt. Canatuan was barricaded to keep Indigenous peoples out while the copper was being mined .
Nenita advocates for women's rights and against the idea that a woman's place is in the home. She encourages women to bring their energy, hearts and minds to the struggle to protect Subanen ancestral lands.
Nenita's life is under constant threat from soldiers in her village. She finds safety in the support of Indigenous communities. Her initiative and passion for collective action and the involvement of women is effective and inspiring.

If you've come this far in life without becoming a jogger, it's likely you've convinced yourself you can't do it. Some people just aren't cut out for running or jogging, right?
Not necessarily. There are a number of reasons you and jogging might not have clicked yet.
First, consult your doctor to ensure there's no reason not to take it up. Once you have that seal of approval, check over the below list to help overcome any potential barriers.
Rather than focusing on the number of miles or chasing faster times, think about goals that keep you interested. It might be exploring the local countryside more often or jogging around your local park without stopping – whatever makes you feel motivated!
Good-quality, technical clothing built for running will make all the difference. Get yourself a supportive sports bra and a good pair of running shoes – ask for advice in a proper sports or running shop, as they can help you pick the perfect shoes for your running style.
Make sure you wear a sweat-wicking top and bottoms to lift any moisture away from your skin, and look for reflective strips so you can be seen if you're running in dark or cloudy weather.
A light jacket will help on rainy days and, for colder months, layering is the key – gloves and a headband are your best friends for jogging on crisp days!
And don't forget to wear an Always Discreet Liner. Stress incontinence is an extremely common problem for runners of all ages, especially those who have had children, and nothing to be ashamed of. Always Discreet Liners will keep you comfortable and dry for the duration.
SAVVY TIP: Always Discreet Liners are on promotion at Sainsbury's between 16 January and 5 February, 2019 – visit Sainsbury's to buy now!
If you've never run before, or if the last time you pounded the pavement was when Fleetwood Mac were top of the charts, build up to it from walking.
There are some instructive beginner's apps available, like Couch to 5K, and when you start jogging, it's smart to focus on time rather than distance: try to jog for one minute, then walk for 30 seconds and keep repeating that pattern.
As that becomes comfortable, take it up to a couple of minutes and so on, gradually upping your running time over the course of a few outings so eventually you're not walking at all.
See if a friend would like to join you, or take the dog for company. Sign up to local free events, such as runs that take place in parks. You'll enjoy the atmosphere and meet other runners to share tips with and keep it social.
If you really get into it, sign up for a 5K race for charity. It will give you something to aim for, especially if you pick a cause close to your heart and raise money, which will help you stay motivated.
Note your jogs in your diary or a calendar so with each entry you can enjoy the sense of pride that comes with getting another run under your belt. If you achieve something new – like jogging without stopping, or discovering a new route – make a note of that, too.
You naturally lose muscle mass as you age, but regular strength training helps. Stronger muscles should absorb shock better with each step, protecting your joints from wear and tear. Simple things like squats, planks, press-ups and lunges are great. Also, run on grass, not pavements, which can be hard on your knees.
On non-running days do other activities like swimming, cycling or a Zumba class to challenge your body in a different way so that joints aren't dealing with the same movements all the time.
Taking an omega-3 supplement and eating some oily fish like salmon and mackerel should help keep joints lubricated and strong, too.
Good balance makes you less likely to trip when you're out jogging, but if you do, it means you'll regain your balance more easily. Taking a yoga class or learning some basic poses from a book or online that require you to stand on one leg can really help.
Yoga will also help with any stiffness in your back, hips and shoulders. Muscles lose some elasticity with time, but yoga will help you improve your flexibility.
Always warm up muscles before jogging too, with a brisk walk and some arm circles and heel raises.
All runners need recovery time, but if you're starting out later in your life, you need a little more. Your legs may feel stiff and a bit achy for a few days after jogging. Listen to your body and don't lace up your shoes again until it tells you you're ready to.
Make sure you stretch after every run – this will help to ease post-exercise soreness the next day. If you still feel like getting your heart rate up on a rest day, do something else instead – Pilates (which is great for runners as it builds core strength), a walk or a gym class. And why not treat yourself to a deep tissue massage every now and then? After all, you're a jogger now!

I've walked past these painted pillars at the Essex street subway station hundreds of times since moving to New York City in 2004. But I never appreciated them as much as I did this week when waiting for a train one night on the platform. Perhaps I'm becoming more nostalgic as a precarious birthday draws near (it's on the 15th just in case you want to send a card).
Or perhaps it was time the peeling paint taught me a lesson in recognizing beauty. Walking around this amazing city all day, it's easy to keep my head down (usually looking at my phone), my cynicism high and my tolerance level low (very low). And suddenly I was stopped in my tracks by a peeling steel beam that had been painted dozens of times before, some years in very bright colours, some years very dark. For a moment I found myself thinking about the people who waited on that same platform when all the beams were painted bright blue. Or that orange! It made me wish that my history with NYC was as long and elaborate as these layers of paint.
After a long and intense two weeks of lectures and panels on climate change, one hosted by Sustainia at the UNGC Leaders Summit, another by Eileen Fisher, I began to suffer from pangs of guilt over producing more garments - something I experience relatively frequently - until I found myself waiting a little bit longer for a train that I take all the time and was hit by the thought that there is beauty where it is least expected, if we look for it. All too often in this great city I find myself running from one appointment to another with my head down (usually looking at my phone), with cynicism levels high and tolerance levels (very) low. At that moment my mind connected this peeling paint with the idea that only time can create hidden beauty, which cannot be duplicated or faked. Perhaps a bit of a stretch, but it was a moment of pride and connection with the slow fashion movement.
A moment I may have missed had the battery in my phone not died 10 minutes before the train pulled up.

The freshest men's fragrances for New Year 2021
From the new multi-layered fragrance from Chopard to Issey Miyake's woody double-down, we've spritzed the best new scents for 2021

Win the Gentleman's Journal New Year Bundle, worth over £4,000
There's something in the air. We may be staring down the barrel of a brand-new lockdown, but 2021 will (hopefully) be less disastrous than the year we've just endured. And, whether you're taking aim at your fitness resolutions in your home gym, deciding to stick to a plant-based diet or looking to learn something helpful from the burning wreckage of 2020, we're here to help.
But there's also something a little more literal in the air. With a new year comes the chance to revamp your wardrobe, your accessories, your bathroom cabinet — and some of our favourite grooming brands have spritzed their way into the new year with fresh fragrances. Here are six of the finest scents we're currently wearing at Gentleman's Journal…
If you want a multi-layered fragrance, spritz on Chopard Amber Malaki
You can tell Chopard makes jewellery. Just look at the bottle into which the French brand has decanted the newest addition to its Malaki Collection. There's definite shades of watch bracelet in that cap. And, happily, when you pop the lid off and give it a spritz, you'll still be impressed. Warm and sensual, Amber Malaki is the perfect scent for the cold start to the year — with smoky notes of papyrus, wood and rich, spicy incense.
It's one of those fragrances that just gets better as the day goes on; releasing and revealing more layers as it settles onto your skin. So, although you may get a waft of voluptuous orange blossom when you're first sitting down at your desk, and be enjoying aromatic vanilla by noon, your day will draw to the close with all of the above; a heady, exotic swirl of addictive scents.
Chopard Amber Malaki
If you want a stripped-back, earthy scent, try Floris Vert Fougère
This fragrance from Floris is the bad boy of the aftershave world. Moody and tenacious, this unisex scent is punchy and pungent; ready to redefine everything you thought you wanted from a fragrance. Blindsiding us with an olfactory curveball, Vert Fougère delivers a blast of green, mossy scents rather than soft, floral notes — not to mention a bittersweet blend of grapefruit and bergamot.
While it might take a couple of mornings to get used to, there's something pleasingly stripped-back and simple to this bottling. Where else could you find earthy patchouli, cedarwood and the zing of ginger without any tempering from softer scents? It's a bold move from Floris — but the British brand has a history of making scents for bold men.
Floris Vert Fougère
If you want a softer scent, opt for Acqua di Parma's Note di Colonia I
If the thought of an aftershave inspired by an opera has you rolling your eyes, bear with us. It might sound a little high-brow, but that doesn't mean you should be raising your eyebrows. Because, while the concept may be contrived, this cologne — influenced by Giuseppe Verdi's tale of tragic love, La traviata — is light-hearted and lovely enough to take your mind off the dark days of winter.
If you're yearning for the (cross your fingers) freedom of summer, this is the New Year fragrance for you. It's imbued with bright, sunny nuances of bergamot and neroli, while notes of lavender, rose and violet (ingredients perfumers aren't usually brave enough to market to men) offer up an unexpectedly floral feel. Even so, to reassure the traditionalists, Acqua di Parma has added in an accord of cedarwood — which caps off this Colonia with a classic feel.
Acqua di Parma Note di Colonia I
If you want an earthy, fresh oriental, uncap The Inimitable Mr. Penhaligon
Majestic and chic, Penhaligon's latest is as much sculpture as it is scent. Just look at that ram's curling golden horns — there's certainly something more than a little 'Jason and the Argonauts' about this fragrance. Launching next week, it's a New Year's treat.
Give it a spritz, and the prevailing scent will present as vetiver — a big trend currently in the fragrance world. But Mr Penhaligon is deeper and darker than your initial impression, and will bleed out further fragrances; including those of spiced incense, cedarwood and ambrox — that sweet, earthy and utterly unique substance produced by sperm whales. And, to top if off, a gentle fluttering of bergamot and jasmine for freshness.
The Inimitable Mr. Penhaligon
If you want a lightweight, subversive scent, try Creed Aventus Cologne
'New, modern and urban-spirited' was the brief for Creed's Aventus. It was a tall order. But, while it may be impossible to make something smell 'urban-spirited' (the Jubilee line on a Wednesday? Now there's something we don't miss…), the storied perfume house's best-seller is a timely, moreish fragrance that sits incredibly well alongside more heritage offerings. We take a potent dip into its history — and celebrate a decade of Aventus — here.
But what makes it so special? It's the effortless blend of some very disparate scents. There are top notes of ginger, mandarin and pink peppercorn: so far, so autumnal. But then the heart notes take a lighter turn, sprinkling the scents of patchouli and vetiver into proceedings. And then there's an even softer spin to finish — with feather-light styrax and birch as the traditionally load-bearing base notes.
Creed Aventus Cologne
If you want woody, there's only Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Wood & Wood
Wood. It's a classic men's scent. And Issey Miyake, the Japanese fashion and perfume house, has literally doubled down on the fragrance with this release. Wood & Wood is an aftershave that threatened to be overpowering, but we can't get enough of it. Firmly rooted in nature's deeper, darker notes, there's a feeling of strength and sophistication about this bottling, and it's become our daily go-to.
But don't think it's all strong and silent. There may be a broad base of patchouli essence — upon which touches of Virginia cedar essence and sandalwood intertwine — but an unexpected top note of grapefruit adds some fizz to the olfactory party; sprinkling a zest into the spritz that we never knew we needed.
Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Wood & Wood
You've got your aftershave, but now let's tackle those wrinkles. Here are our favourite anti-aging products (that actually work)…

Last of Nine Defendants in Conspiracy Trafficking Fentanyl, Heroin, Cocaine Sentenced to 16 Years in Prison
BIRMINGHAM – A federal judge on Wednesday imposed a 16-year prison sentence on the last of nine defendants in a Birmingham-based conspiracy to distribute multiple kilograms of fentanyl, heroin and cocaine in Jefferson County in 2015 and 2016, announced U.S. Attorney Jay E. Town and Drug Enforcement Administration Assistant Special Agent in Charge Bret Hamilton.
U.S. District Judge L. Scott Coogler sentenced JOSE AGUSTIN GUTIERREZ, 32, of Phoenix, Ariz., on the conspiracy count, one count of possession with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine, and one count of using a telephone to commit a drug-trafficking crime. Gutierrez pled guilty to the charges last year.
Throughout the investigation, agents seized 8.8 kilograms of cocaine that Gutierrez intended to deliver from Arizona, and 4.662 kilograms of pure fentanyl delivered from Mexico.
"This defendant organized and delivered major quantities of heroin, methamphetamine and cocaine into the Northern District of Alabama from Arizona, and now he will spend the next 16 years behind bars," Town said. "Thanks to the work of the DEA and other law enforcement partners, this is one drug conspiracy we have shut down, closing that pipeline of deadly drugs into Alabama and sending nine drug traffickers to prison."
"With this sentencing, DEA and its federal, state and local law enforcement partners have taken down an organization responsible for distributing large quantities of fentanyl, heroin and cocaine in the state of Alabama," Hamilton said. "By removing this criminal from the street, he can no longer threaten the health and safety of our communities. We will continue to work together to target criminal organizations to ensure that drug traffickers are held responsible for the harm they cause."
In April, Judge Coogler sentenced the leader of the conspiracy, ANTHONY LEVY WARD, 37, of Chelsea, to 20 years and 10 months in prison. Ward had pled guilty to multiple counts of conspiracy to distribute or possess with intent to distribute at least a thousand grams of heroin or at least five kilograms of cocaine and two counts of attempted possession with intent to distribute fentanyl. He also pled guilty and was sentenced on multiple counts of using a telephone to commit a drug trafficking crime, one count of carrying a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking, and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.
The amount of fentanyl trafficked in the conspiracy was about 7.1 kilograms, or more than 350,000 doses of the drug.
Besides Ward and Gutierrez, other defendants convicted in the conspiracy are: Anthony Levy Alexander, 58, and Betty Levy Alexander, 51, Ward's father and aunt, Ferlando Carmise Mims, 20, Onandas Carmece Beard, 20, and Corey Darnelle Haynes, 38, all of Birmingham, and Jesus Ubaldo Montoya, 24, and Marahai Ardizo Enriquez, 26, both of Phoenix. The sentences for those defendants range from about two to 15 years.
The DEA investigated the case in conjunction with the Birmingham and Hoover police departments and the U.S. Marshals Service. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Alabama prosecuted the case.

Last weekend, the farmer's market was brimming with bright green bunches of fresh asparagus and the temperature was expected to hit 70 degrees. I bought a bunch of asparagus and dragged our grill out from its winter hibernation to try a recipe I've been eyeing for months: Santa Ynez Inn's Chevre and Prosciutto Grilled Asparagus.
The inn sometimes serves the appetizer as part of its nightly wine hour, in which they pour local Santa Ynez Valley wines paired with cheese and light bites. The prosciutto-wrapped grilled asparagus is always a hit among their guests.
Spring is the prime season for fresh asparagus and this elegant, savory appetizer is a cinch to make at home. It requires just a handful of ingredients: asparagus, cherve (goat cheese), prosciutto, balsamic vinegar, and extra virgin olive oil.
To assemble, I spread a small amount of cherve on a half slice of prosciutto and then rolled it tightly around each spear of asparagus. I placed the wrapped asparagus spears on a hot grill for a couple of minutes and then plated them with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. My husband and I stood in the backyard next to the grill and quickly gobbled down our first taste of spring.
Preheat grill on high. Cut each prosciutto slice in half, down the center. Wash and cut the asparagus spears, reserving the top thirds. Spread a small, even quantity of chevre onto the prosciutto.
Wash and trim the asparagus and the cut each prosciutto slice in half, down the center.
Place one or two asparagus spears (depending on thickness) on one side of the prosciutto and gently roll the prosciutto tightly around the asparagus. Once finished, coat each spear lightly with cooking spray.
Grill on high heat for two minutes or just until the asparagus turns a bright shade of green.
Drizzle balsamic vinegar and olive oil onto a serving plate. Arrange the asparagus and serve immediately.


Featured on the obverse of the Jimmy Carter Coin is a likeness of Jimmy Carter along with the inscriptions "39th President" and "1977-1981." The reverse features a striking rendition of the Statue of Liberty, similar to the presidential dollars. This bronze commemorative coin has a gold finish and is 30mm (slightly larger than the presidential dollar coins).
They sent the wrong item but were quick to correct the order with no additional charges to me. I didn't even have to return the incorrect item.
James Earl "Jimmy" Carter Presidential Commemorative Coin is very nice coin and quality is excellent. Shipping to delivery was very speedy. Tracking was easy.
