Christmas music and Christmas albums are usually a win-win situation for the artist and for the listeners. The artist experiences the joy of creating new songs and/or arrangements and performances and the possibility of evergreen returns - and listeners get the gift of timeless music to be enjoyed in perpetuity. After numerous accomplishments, well hones skills as a piano player, composer and arranger, Bill Cunliffe has created a noteworthy and memorable album full of music for the season, with his release of "That Time of Year".
For those unfamiliar with his work, Bill Cunliffe began developing his name on the national scene in the 1980s as the pianist in the Buddy Rich Big Band. Among the many influential artists Cunliffe has performed and/or recorded are Frank Sinatra, Ray Brown, Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard and others. With a degree from the Eastman School of Music, he is a jazz educator at the university level as well. Among his many awards, he won a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement for his "West Side Story Medley" on the Resonance Big Band Plays Tribute to Oscar Peterson.
With that introduction, you'd expect that a Christmas album from Bill would be a compelling listen, replete with compelling arrangements and superb playing - and indeed that's exactly what it is. Bill commented that in the tradition of Mel Torme, this Christmas album was recorded on a hot day in July and that somehow Christmas tunes sound better in summer.
The album opens gently with Cunliffe in a pensive mood, delivering a lovely ballad rendition - solo piano throughout - with rich and sonorous voicings to complement the melody on "Angels From the Realms." This is an ideal antidote to the hit you over the head cliché Christmas stuff we all experience this time of year. Cunliffe picks up the pace on "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen." The track opens with a magnificent exposition of this well known theme, with some bluesy grinds to spice it up. He takes things into a toe-tapping, relaxed swing groove - and colors this chestnut with a solo demonstrating his ample and harmonically sophisticated technique. It's clear that Cunliffe has thoughtfully programmed this holiday set, as the next track "On Christmas Day" moves delightfully into a jazz waltz groove. For his solo, he takes the festivities into a two beat swing groove. Bill's deep understanding of the groove and his bebop roots are woven into this creative tapestry - momentarily tipping the hat to a potpourri of stylists from Bud Powell to Vince Guaraldi. Cunliffe delivers a clever syncopated introduction to "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies." You've never heard a rendition like this one - swinging, cycling - fabulously swinging medium groove solo heavily laden with bebop ideas and some McCoy Tyner quartal-type harmoniy surfacing to make it clear that this is an amalgam of sounds by a mature jazz solo artist. Among the many highlights on this extraordinary set is "O Little Town of Bethlehem" which Cunliffe takes up tempo - delivering another wonderfully swinging, harmonically developed articulated with crystal clarity - at once thoroughly improvised, and a textbook study into the bop vocabulary. If you had tired of "Jingle Bells," Bill's swinging rendition will rejuvenate your appreciation for this classic. If you're not one of those listeners who is pre-conditioned to think that listening to music associated with Christmas is only for "the season," you'll find yourself listening to this gem again and again throughout the year.

A sunny, cheerful Madrid apartment owned and designed by twins
Spoiler alert: No sibling rivalry here
Gabriela Ulloa
Published: Jan 27, 2020 | 08:00:43 IST
Inma Mariscal
Take a look inside this modern, personality-filled Madrid home
Most of us can't move into a new home without some sort of drama. After chatting with Lucia and Helena Cuesta, the fashionable twins behind Them Bones Jewelry, we learned that sometimes moving can be a breeze. The ease of the move was a combination of luck and location: "We were born here and never felt the need to live in another place." Easy to say when your hometown is Madrid. Now settled in the bustling district of La Latina, Lucia and Helena lived out every house hunter's fantasy by chancing upon their dream light-filled loft. The restored sunshine-yellow prewar building housed the perfect unit for the sisters. Even the decorating process was simple. In fact, it took them only two weeks to fill out their new space—due in no small part to their love for travel and flea markets. It's easy living for the Cuesta sisters, and their Madrid loft reflects their laid-back vibe.
The girls didn't let the nonfunctioning fireplace scare them away. In fact, they emphasised it by filling it with some of their favourite books and accessories picked up during their travels
New Edits
The nonworking fireplace was initially a turnoff for Lucia and Helena, but the rest of the space was too good to pass up. So they said goodbye to the thought of sitting around a fire and created a mini makeshift library in its place. But before they knew it, the fireless fireplace became the centre of their home. Equipping the mantel with enough Diptyque candles to create a fireplace-like glow, Lucia and Helena also decked it out with endless trinkets from their travels. The sisters use this focal point of their living space to tell stories from their tours around the world—like the portrait of a nameless woman in the 1800s. "It's my fave," Lucia says. They found the mysterious portrait during a trip to the Fairfax Flea Market in Los Angeles. "It's funny because the woman who was selling it asked me, 'Why do you want to buy this? It's from Europe. It's easy to find in your country don't you think?' " Lucia continues: "But for us, it's more the memories that you will have when you look at it—it's a little souvenir."
Lucia's favourite gold-frame mirror sits on the mantel, providing even more light to the space
Forget gallery walls: Propping up your frames gives your space a laid-back feel, especially if they're vintage
A Curious Collection of Objects
"It's like an eclectic cabin in the centre of Madrid," the twins agree. "We wanted to have a place where once you get in, you rarely want to leave." Mission accomplished. Cabin vibes are especially apparent in the upstairs loft. According to Lucia and Helena, this area proves to be the ideal setting for a midday siesta—a prerequisite for living in Spain. A skylight built into the tilted ceiling conveniently hits to the right of their makeshift bed, never disrupting their allocated rest time.
El Rastro—one of Madrid's most popular open-air flea markets—is not far from the apartment. Almost every Sunday, the sisters venture out to scour the grounds for secondhand finds. For them, decorating is all about a sense of discovery. Happy accidents run rampant throughout the space, like the floor cushions in the lofted area that they stumbled upon in Marrakech or the little red mushroom pouf thrifted from El Rastro that's placed neatly across the downstairs sofa.
Floor cushions from Marrakech provide a bed of comfort for friends to relax and chat on in the dreamy loft
"It was so easy for us to create the living room," says Helena. "We immediately got inspired because the space was so open and clean," she says. "It makes me feel so at peace, relaxed, and safe," says Lucia of her shared sanctuary space with her sister. As for their design inspo, the girls looked no further than their decor idol and AD regular, Amanda Brooks. Like Brooks, who is known for her masterful layering, Lucia and Helena leaned into the a maximalist aesthetic. "We like the idea of having a lot of things," the sisters say simply, "and that's why everything we like, we keep."
The vintage mushroom bench pulls together the red Berber rug from Marrakech and the white IKEA sofa. The acrylic coffee table displays Lucia and Helena's favourite fashion tomes
Individualist Yet Cohesive
It's all so idyllic, you might be wondering—don't these sisters disagree about anything? But collaboration comes easily to the pair: "It's always better to have more options to choose from, more ideas," says Helena. Their individual styles have had varying effects on the space. Lucia sways more toward an "eclectic, cozy, and vintage" look, while Helena claims to be the risk-taker of the two. Weathered and worn vintage decor lives harmoniously with clean and modern pieces. Case in point: how the Maison du Monde dining table and bench are complemented by a set of thrifted woven chairs.
But, it's not always fun and games. "Sometimes living together is hard because we are very different, but Lucia is also my best friend…so never mind." Looks like communication is key in this household and it shows in the cohesion of the space. "I love to be home," Helena gushes. "The best part is getting to live with your best friend." Talk about a perfect setup.
The loft's white wooden beams and glass walkway upstairs bring a whimsical dimension to the space
As they hang by their dining table, there's an aura of effortlessness that makes these cool girls ones to watch

Q: How to REALLY get the navigation bar height in Android I own a HTC One A9 which has the ability to hide the navigation bar. In my app, I need to get the height of the navigation bar and set a padding corresponding to it. Here's my problem now: When I hide the navigation bar, the padding is still being set (even Snapchat has this problem). My question is: Is there alternative code to this one that makes it work?
public static int getNavBarHeight(Context context) {
    int result = 0;
    int resourceId = context.getResources().getIdentifier("navigation_bar_height", "dimen", "android");
    if (resourceId > 0) {
        result = context.getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(resourceId);
    }
    return result;
}

Thanks for your help!

A: Use following code to get Navigation bar. However, you need to consider Multi window mode as well as whether Navigation bar is at the bottom or on left side or right side of the window.
getNavigationBarHeight(){
    Resources resources = context.getResources();
    int resourceId = resources.getIdentifier("navigation_bar_height", "dimen", "android");
    if (resourceId > 0) {
        return resources.getDimensionPixelSize(resourceId);
    }
    return 0;
}

A: This is the code I use to get the navigation bar size. Its height will be in Point.y
Credit to this answer
public static Point getNavigationBarSize(Context context) {
    Point appUsableSize = getAppUsableScreenSize(context);
    Point realScreenSize = getRealScreenSize(context);

    // navigation bar on the right
    if (appUsableSize.x < realScreenSize.x) {
        return new Point(realScreenSize.x - appUsableSize.x, appUsableSize.y);
    }

    // navigation bar at the bottom
    if (appUsableSize.y < realScreenSize.y) {
        return new Point(appUsableSize.x, realScreenSize.y - appUsableSize.y);
    }

    // navigation bar is not present
    return new Point();
}

public static Point getAppUsableScreenSize(Context context) {
    WindowManager windowManager = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
    Display display = windowManager.getDefaultDisplay();
    Point size = new Point();
    display.getSize(size);
    return size;
}

public static Point getRealScreenSize(Context context) {
    WindowManager windowManager = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
    Display display = windowManager.getDefaultDisplay();
    Point size = new Point();

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 17) {
        display.getRealSize(size);
    } else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 14) {
        try {
            size.x = (Integer)     Display.class.getMethod("getRawWidth").invoke(display);
            size.y = (Integer) Display.class.getMethod("getRawHeight").invoke(display);
    } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {} catch     (InvocationTargetException e) {} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {}
    }

    return size;
}

Edit: To answer your question I had to use this function since I wanted to add ResideMenu to my app, but ended getting a weird empty margin at the bottom of my app, because of the navigation bar.
So I edited this function added by ResideMenu like this:
@Override
protected boolean fitSystemWindows(Rect insets) {
    // Applies the content insets to the view's padding, consuming that content (modifying the insets to be 0),
    // and returning true. This behavior is off by default and can be enabled through setFitsSystemWindows(boolean)
    // in API14+ devices.

    int bottomPadding = insets.bottom;

    Point p = getNavigationBarSize(getContext());

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21 && p.x != 0) {
        Resources resources = getContext().getResources();
        int resourceId = resources.getIdentifier("navigation_bar_height", "dimen", "android");
        if (resourceId > 0) {
            bottomPadding += resources.getDimensionPixelSize(resourceId);
        }
    }

    this.setPadding(viewActivity.getPaddingLeft() + insets.left, viewActivity.getPaddingTop() + insets.top,
            viewActivity.getPaddingRight() + insets.right, viewActivity.getPaddingBottom() + bottomPadding);
    insets.left = insets.top = insets.right = insets.bottom = 0;
    return true;
}

Hope that will help you.

A: Here is the simplest answer. You just need to pass the rootView of the activity. The heights will be 0 if the the bars are not shown.
View rootView;
ViewCompat.setOnApplyWindowInsetsListener(rootView, (v, insets) -> {
    final int statusBarHeight = insets.getInsets(WindowInsetsCompat.Type.statusBars()).top; // in px
    final int navigationBarHeight = insets.getInsets(WindowInsetsCompat.Type.navigationBars()).bottom; // in px

    // do something with the heights

    return WindowInsetsCompat.CONSUMED;
});

A:     fun Context.isSoftNavigationBarAvailable(): Boolean {
        val navBarInteractionModeId = resources.getIdentifier(
                  "config_navBarInteractionMode",
                  "integer",
                  "android"
        )
        if (navBarInteractionModeId > 0 && resources.getInteger(navBarInteractionModeId) > 0) {
            // nav gesture is enabled in the settings
            return false
        }
        val appUsableScreenSize = Point()
        val realScreenSize = Point()
        val defaultDisplay = (getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE) as WindowManager).defaultDisplay
        defaultDisplay.getSize(appUsableScreenSize)
        defaultDisplay.getRealSize(realScreenSize)
        return appUsableScreenSize.y < realScreenSize.y }

A: From Android R (SDK 30+), you can use this code to get size of status bar and navigation bar
    WindowInsets insets = activity.getWindowManager().getCurrentWindowMetrics().getWindowInsets();
    int statusBarHeight = insets.getInsets(WindowInsetsCompat.Type.statusBars()).top; //in pixels
    int navigationBarHeight = insets.getInsets(WindowInsetsCompat.Type.navigationBars()).bottom; //in pixels

Have coffee, smoking or simple aging changed the color of your teeth? You can say goodbye to dental stains with professional teeth whitening from Seymour, IN dentists, Dr. Matthew Pierce and Dr. Lane Severe at Jackson County Dental. Your healthy teeth can brighten by up to eight shades in just one office visit or in the convenience and privacy or your own home. Learn more details about this amazing cosmetic service.
In short, what we put into our mouths, dulls and yellows tooth enamel.
If you do qualify, your dentist will offer you a choice of at-home teeth whitening in Seymour (using custom-made acrylic trays) or an in-office treatment.
There really is no secret to professional teeth whitening. It's just good science. Whitening offered by your dentist uses concentrated hydrogen peroxide gel. Whether applied by the dental in the office or by you at home, the gel literally lifts staining organic material right out of tooth surfaces. While at-home processes are more gradual, both methods are amazingly effective and give patients a brighter, more youthful look.
Also, it's no secret that professional teeth whitening in Seymour is safe because your dentist knows you and your oral health. The gel is properly applied with no spillage onto sensitive gums or other soft oral tissues. Contrast this method with over the counter strips, rinses and trays which may produce marginal results or irritate the mouth.
Professionally whitened smiles stay bright with daily flossing and brushing at home and semi-annual in-office cleanings and touch-ups (as needed). Also, you should avoid tobacco and limit staining beverages and foods. Expect your smile to be bright indefinitely!
Say goodbye to dental stains with the best teeth whitening treatments in Seymour, IN. Contact the office team at Jackson County Dental today for a cosmetic dentistry consultation. Call (812) 522-8608.


Thames Water is replacing century-old pipes near the Olympic Park in a bid to reduce leaks and bursts.
The £630,000 project in Waltham Forest, London started last weekend (13 August) and will see the water company lay 1.8km of robust plastic piping in place of 100-year-old cast iron pipes.
As part of the project, which is expected to take around four months, pipes in Lea Bridge Road, Leyton, will initially be replaced before work can be done in other areas.
According to Thames Water, the plastic pipes will significantly reduce the volume of water that is lost through leaks and help to avoid future disruption to services.
Thames Water's head of capital delivery, Lawrence Gosden, said: "The pipe we are replacing is old and leaky. Not only does this waste water, it also inconveniences people when we have to dig up the road and do repairs.
"While we apologise for the inevitable disruption work of this nature causes, replacing old and leaking mains is essential as our water resources come under increasing pressure from climate change and population growth."
There are no planned road closures although traffic management will be in place. Customers whose water supply will be affected will be notified in advance.
In the past five years Thames Water claims to have installed 1,300 miles of new pipe, helping to reduce leakage by 27%.


Elon Musk didn't exactly have a great summer. With the world watching, he spent sleepless nights on the factory floor of Tesla, troubleshooting glitches. Exhausted, he impulsively tweeted that he planned to take Tesla private—then later changed his mind.
It was a classic example from the what-not-to-do book of leadership. When the headwinds are high, an executive particularly needs to stay calm and clearheaded, if only to take in all the relevant information, understand it deeply, and respond with agility, while reassuring employees at the same time. Back in the day when Intel made the chips inside every laptop, its then-CEO Andrew Grove confessed that there were two times the company could have vanished—once when they realized only too late that Japan was producing Intel's computer chips much more cheaply, and another when they released a flawed chip. What made the difference between corporate life and death, Grove reflected, was how the top team handled their emotions: If they had panicked or denied the reality, Intel might well have been out of business.
Neither Musk nor Grove may have been aware that their amygdala was at play in both their crises. Think of the amygdala—the brain's trigger for responding to threats—as the doorway to an emotional "basement." The amygdala rests low in the brain, amid circuitry for emotion, just between our ears. If the amygdala senses a threat, it floods us with hormones like cortisol that prepare us biologically for fight-or-flight, and we feel surges of emotional turbulence like fear or anger.
The events that trigger the amygdala—say, that coldness from your boss—unleash a cascade of neural dominoes that can hijack the parts of the prefrontal cortex that let us think of what to do. During an amygdala hijack, in fact, we find it hard to think clearly or to focus on anything other than that upsetting trigger. And if we get hijacked continually, we enter a state neurobiologists call "frazzle." We're trapped in the basement.
Our brains are designed to privilege the amygdala; the more activated that neural basement, the less well the brain's executive center, or balcony, can operate. In an emergency, of course, you need to go to your mental balcony and see the whole situation and respond in ways that take it all into account, as I've been told by an executive whose group manages responses to catastrophes like hurricanes. The challenge, of course, comes from the knee-jerk response to go to the basement, from where we respond rigidly rather than nimbly. Indeed, when the amygdala hijacks us and drags us down to the basement, we do and say things that we are very likely to regret later.
Research in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience reveals that an amygdala hijack sends a flood of stress hormones through the brain, and these neurochemicals cause a drop in innovative, flexible thinking. The paradox here: Emergencies, like any other challenge, demand our most innovative thinking. That just does not happen while we dwell in the basement; there, we operate on autopilot, unable to make choices that work best.
One suggestion is to take a drug that blocks the stress reaction, like the stage-fright dampening beta-blocker, propranolol. Trouble is that drug might make us so mellow we'd lose our sense of urgency, an invaluable driver in facing emergency.
Here's another idea: Mindfulness done daily grooms the brain's self-regulation circuits, including the parts of the prefrontal cortex that can quiet the amygdala. Of course, you need to do that regularly—like working out in a gym—so you can call on that circuitry to help you stay away from the basement and scan your options from the balcony.


A lot brands to choose from, different ideas that need to be discovered.
My solution and I called it.
Note: this is just a part of it, but will soon be posting the complete details with pictures so keep track.
I Hope this can somehow help and give you some ideas.

COVID-19: All boxing events suspended in January
Josh Kelly's European title fight against David Avanesyan has been postponed after the British Boxing Board of Control suspended all boxing in January because of the increase in Covid-19 cases.
The organisation which oversees professional boxing in Britain announced a shutdown of all events under its auspices in January because of the serious rise in coronavirus cases in the UK.
BBBC released a statement saying: "Following the increase in Covid-19 cases in the United Kingdom and the effects such increases have on the NHS and the work of the Board Medical Officers, it has been decided that no tournaments under the jurisdiction of the British Boxing Board of Control will take place in January 2021.
"A further review by the Board's Medical Panel and Stewards will take place later in January in relation to tournaments from February onwards."
The biggest fight affected by the suspension is Josh Kelly's European title fight against David Avanesyan which was due to take place on January 30, Sky Sports reports.
Matchroom Boxing confirmed the fight was postponed and say they will announce a rescheduled date for the highly anticipated fight as soon as possible.
The pair were due to meet in their European title fight as the welterweight rivals looked to settle their long-running feud but the fight will now take place at a later date following the BBBC decision.

Q. I would like to know if you're driving a Peugeot diesel. Every time you start losing the first two games with Nadal, today with Berdych. When it was raining, we came back, you lose your serve. Against Murray in Miami you saved a breakpoint in the first game and lose the serve in the third.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: You're right, I do drive Peugeot diesel. It's saving me a lot of energy. But it requires a little bit more time to get moving (laughter).
Well, it was in a way a similar start to yesterday's match. But was a completely different match, obviously. Different conditions of play, as well.
I thought I won this match with my heart and with battle. That's how I feel like I won it. I don't think I've played on the level that I wish to play and that I have played throughout the whole week. But also credit to Tomas because he has played very aggressively, staying close to the line, pushing me back. So I had to defend a lot of times.
It was a battle. I mean, set and 3‑2, interruption, came back, had the breakpoint, he played some amazing shots. If I made the break there, maybe the match could be done in two sets.
He had his chances as well. Third set started very well, 4‑Love. I just lose that service game for no reason. After that, every single game went the distance. Deuce, advantage. It was a real fight. I was trying to mentally stay tough and fight my way through because I didn't feel the ball very well.
Of course, obviously I was just trying to stay with the right intensity and focus for each point because obviously you get tense when you're not feeling so comfortable on the court, when you start missing, you kind of back up.
I had to adjust my position and movement on the court several times. In the end I'm sitting here with this trophy that is very special to me, of course. This is what matters. Sometimes winning ugly is necessary. It's been a remarkable start of the season for me. Of course, couldn't ask for a better start of clay court season.
Q. Do you think the kind of bad sensations today could be a result of the match yesterday against Nadal? When you win despite not playing your best, is it even better for your confidence?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Obviously, it is. I came on the court today hoping and wanting, of course, to play as well as I played throughout the whole week. I've played my best match and best tennis in the week against Nadal yesterday. Maybe I was a little bit also mentally exhausted coming into this match. It's always emotional and intense when you play against Rafa, especially on clay, where physically it's most demanding.
But, you know, again, it was finals, so there was no lack of motivation, obviously. As I said, you know, because of the fact that I live here and that I practice in this very court where I played the match today, that kept me going, and of course, you know, the fact that we are fighting for a big title. I'm just thrilled that I was able to make that final step.
Q. How does it feel to win everything like that? How long do you think you can keep this winning streak?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: I don't know. Honestly I'm not thinking about how long I can keep it or how long the streak will go.
Fortunately I had one time a similar situation in my career, in 2011, when I won over 40 matches in a row. I got that question asked basically after every match, How long it's going to go, how long it's going to go.
I really don't know. It's something I can't influence and predict. What I can do and influence right now is rest, recover, 'cause I need at least a week of good rest. It's been a long couple months for me. Very successful, though. I cannot complain. But I played a lot of matches, traveled a lot with Davis Cup, Dubai, Indian Wells, Miami, coming here, not having too much time, already getting into clay that is a totally different surface.
So I'm healthy, obviously very confident. Everything is going in the right direction. I just need to take some time off, which is equally as important as the work I do on the court.
Q. Thinking about you won the Masters, all that you won this year, if you close your eyes, you don't want to see a yellow ball for how long?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: I don't know. I mean, as I said, the good thing is that there is two weeks now between this tournament and the start of the next one. I have no tournament now, so it's perfect that I'm able to stay at home. I don't need to travel anywhere. I can relax, enjoy my time with family.
This is something that is necessary right now for me ‑ mentally most of all. Of course, I'll get ready for the next challenge.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Certain statistics and certain, I'd say, records and milestones that are a possibility for me, I am aware of. Not all of them. I think most of all you need a clear mind when you're on the court. So if you start thinking too much about the potential achievements, you know, the possibility to mark your name in the history of the sport, you get distracted.
I try to keep the same mindset and routine going. That's what helps me to be determined and focused only for the present moment and for the match that I'm playing and the challenge I have, to overcome it.
But, of course, there's certain facts that I'm very much aware of. The fact that now I won three Masters in a row that nobody ever has done that, of course I'm aware of that. That has given me, even this week, more motivation. I'm very, very proud of what I have achieved. It can only serve as an incentive, imperative for what's coming up.
I'm 27. Obviously I'm experiencing the time of my life on the tennis court, and also private life is very good. Became a father, of course. I'm just trying to sometimes pinch myself and say, Where I am at this point in my life? I'm very grateful for this, for everything that I got. That's the kind of philosophy.
Q. Obviously wherever you go you are one of the fans' favorite. In today's match, the people started to root for Tomas at one point. How do you feel when they start cheering not against you but for your opponent?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: It's understandable. As I said on the court, I really mean it, he deserve this trophy as I do. He has fought hard. He has played very good. He was there. He was focused. He was not very emotional. He was trying to give his best.
The crowd recognized that and they were cheering for him to win the second set and to get into the third. I understand that. I didn't mind it at all.
I did have my supporters, as well. Obviously it was a tough day for people, as well, with the rain interruption. It was not easy conditions for us to play, but also for the crowd to watch.
Hopefully everybody who came enjoyed it.
Q. You said you weren't playing that well today. Then there was the rain delay. How do you keep yourself focused to come back and close the match?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Well, it's a bit unpredictable how the rain is going to fall and behave, you know, if the rain is going to keep falling or not. People really couldn't foresee the changes in the weather. That's why you were kind of, Should I warm up, relax a little bit, stretch, eat something. It was pretty tricky.
Again, it was not the first time we have experienced this particular situation. We've experienced it many times before. I stay with my team and go through certain things that I did wrong and that I did right, prepare myself for the rest of the match.
Q. I know usually guys you don't like to compare seasons, differences. You're breaking every record. How far do you feel from your level this year from the amazing 2011?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: It's hard to compare honestly because I do feel different as a person, as a player, today than I was in 2011. I think I matured more.
Different circumstances in life. I'm a father and a husband. Many things are different today than they were three years ago, four years ago.
2011 results‑wise was the best season I had so far in my career. I don't know. Somehow I do feel better now than I did in 2011. I do enjoy tennis, but I enjoy being a father and kind of combining it all together. It gives me a great fulfillment, satisfaction and joy to keep on going.
Everything has more sense. I have a greater purpose, I would say, of playing tennis than it was the case in 2011.
Q. We're all going to compare what you're doing right now with 2011. Do you feel it's the same state of mind? Can it help you?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Well, experiencing that already once, that can definitely help me to have the right approach and to kind of follow up and to know what to do.
If I'm going to repeat the same or not, I honestly don't know. I mean, in 2011 I didn't lose a match from the beginning till the French Open semis. Now this year I lost twice.
It's a bit different, but still it does feel in a way similar because I won so many tournaments already, so many matches.
Knowing that I have achieved that already once, knowing that I can do it, actually gives me even more, I would say, reason to believe I can repeat it.
I'll keep on going. It's only four months of the year. I think the most important period of the year is coming up right now where you have Madrid, Rome, Roland Garros, Wimbledon in a matter of two months. It's very close to each other. The tournaments are condensed, the schedule.
Obviously Roland Garros and Wimbledon are the priority. That's where I want to perform my best. But we'll take it step by step and see how far I can go.

The Russia Investigation Is Turning On Democrats. It appears everything the Democrats accuse Trump and the GOP of is what they're doing.
October 25, 2017 by IWB
Stressed out snake eats itself.
1. Last week, there was this bombshell report about how the Obama Administration knew of a major Russian bribery plot aimed at gaining a stake in the U.S. atomic energy business and gaining favor with the Clinton's, yet did little about it.

2. Now, NBC News is reporting that Tony Podesta, the brother of Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta, is being investigated by Robert Mueller for violations of foreign government lobbying rules as a result of work done for a pro-Russian group.

3. The Hill also has a new story out stating, "As Hillary Clinton was beginning her job as President Obama's chief diplomat, federal agents observed as multiple arms of Vladimir Putin's machine unleashed an influence campaign designed to win access to the new secretary of State, her husband Bill Clinton and members of their inner circle."

4. Finally, top officials with the Democrat aligned & potentially Russian backed firm Fusion GPS are pleading the fifth and refusing to disclose who paid for the phony "dossier," which was taken seriously by the intelligence community and helped spark the investigations.

MAYORAL CANDIDATE In DIE-HARD DEMOCRAT City May Prove That 2016 Trump Win Was Just The Beginning of The End For Democrats – This die-hard Democra
The party of hate and division may be witnessing end days. Die-hard Democrats are witnessing a party they once believed to be tolerant and open-minded, shutting down free-speech across the country, and especially on college campuses.
They're watching violent groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter organizing paid, and non-paid protesters to shut down anyone with a view that is in opposition to the those of the Democrat Party. During the election, they watched innocent people, including senior citizens, being bludgeoned and pummeled, as they attempted to return to their vehicles after leaving Trump rallies, only to discover that one of the primary men behind the organizing of violence against Trump supporters, is married to a Democrat US Congresswoman, and was a frequent visitor to the Barack Obama's White House.
They're watching Democrats fight for the rights of non-citizens to take jobs that unemployed Americans could fill. Democrats are watching God being erased from the Democrat platform, and from our schools, and they're fed up with the party they used to feel they had something in common with. The Democrat Party has now become a fringe party that has worked so hard to segregate and divide Americans into different special interest groups, that their party no longer has any sense of commonality. The Democrats have divided themselves to death, and they have no one to blame but themselves…

TikTok drops SXSW appearances as coronavirus fears continue to disrupt festival
The social video app follows Twitter, Facebook, Intel and other companies that have decided not to attend, even as SXSW continues to announce new big name speakers

TikTok announced Tuesday that it too would be canceling plans to attend SXSW this year, joining a list of high-profile tech companies that have decided to sit out the festival amid the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.
"TikTok has decided not to participate in SXSW this year," a spokeswoman told Ad Age in an e-mail statement on Tuesday. "While we think the risk is relatively low, we are erring on the side of caution as we prioritize safety for our team, creators, partners, artists and brands. We are looking at a variety of alternative ways to bring parts of the previously scheduled experience to audiences in creative new forms."
Even as TikTok dropped out, joining a handful of other tech companies to skip the event, SXSW was still adding to its lineup. On Tuesday, the festival touted the addition of comedian and actor Kumail Nanjiani, Chris Evans of "Captain America" fame, and journalist Tamron Hall. On Monday, the festival added Hillary Rodham Clinton.
TikTok was not immediately available for further comment. The app startup is based in China but has been expanding its presence in the U.S. with new offices and staff. Executives from the company were set to speak on panels, meet with creators and talk with partners like publishers that use the app, according to SXSW's schedule.
TikTok has become one of the biggest sensations in social media among young people and is expected to reach more than 50 million U.S. users by 2021, according to eMarketer. The company has been making the rounds at industry events like last year's Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity and this year's Consumer Electronics Show.
SXSW has been hit by a number of cancelations from skittish tech companies, including Twitter, Facebook and Vevo. Companies are pulling out from the tech, film and music lineup because of concerns over coronavirus, which has started affecting cities in the U.S. Austin officials are maintaining confidence that the event can go on, however. This week, SXSW organizers said they are working with local and federal health officials, and that the festival can proceed.
Meanwhile, there have been a number of other industry events and conferences affected. On Tuesday, Google canceled Google I/O its yearly developer conference set for May. Instead the internet giant planned to stream the conference for an online audience. Facebook and Adobe have also made similar adjustments to developer conferences.

The "NaturGenussRoute" in Münsterland provides the perfect combination of idyllic cycling country and regional delicacies for cycling gourmands.
Münsterland, with its vivid green meadows and pastures, sparse copses and pretty hedgerows, does not just provide a feast for the eyes. It is also known for its many culinary delicacies, which are best enjoyed in the region itself, whether bought fresh from a farmers' market or lovingly prepared by a chef.
The best way to combine the two is to cycle the 160-kilometre-long "NaturGenussRoute" (Nature and Culinary Enjoyment Route) set up by the nature conservation centre NABU Naturschutzstation Münsterland. This cycle path connects idyllic parkland with relaxed restaurants, farmhouse cafés and farm shops selling regional vegetables, meat or even fruit, some of which is organically produced. There is plenty to tempt the taste buds, from a hearty steak sourced from the Ems pasturelands, summer-sweet apple juice from the meadow orchards along the cycle pathway, and sweet treats like bread and honey or even poppy chocolate. Buying any of this produce from the NABU centre or from farm shops not only guarantees that you are getting top quality, but that you will also be supporting local farmers and nature conservation projects.
Since the culinary experience by itself provides just half the enjoyment, NABU offers a selection of guided tours along the NaturGenussRoute, including the "Tischlein-deck-Dich-Tour" (Wishing Table Tour) through the Davert, one of the largest continuous forested areas in the Westphalian Bay and as a European natural heritage area the home of many rare plant and animal species. The roughly 30-kilometre-long round tour passes through idyllic oak woods and bog forests, tranquil clearings and the last area of heath in the region. Participants will also hear exciting legends and stories at myth-steeped locations and experience culinary surprises along the way, with a delicious menu rounding off the tour.
Somewhat shorter, but no less interesting, is the "Ein romantisches Picknick in der Heide" (a romantic picnic in the heath) tour. This takes in the small islands in the Rieselfelder Münster bird sanctuary, where a wonderful example of heathland is preserved. The Bentheimer Landschaf sheep are playing an active role in this preservation, ensuring that future generations will be able to enjoy the original natural landscape. This endangered breed grazes in the heath, thus preventing the invasion of non-native plants and the accumulation of dead plant parts. Those who complete the 18-kilometre-long tour will be rewarded with a typical heathland speciality: a delicious bilberry pancake or tender Bentheimer lamb.

Brazil debates for a federal law to ban Fracking in the whole country
13/08/2019 Rui Ogawa Brasil
Shale gas extraction method can severely affect the country's agriculture, economy and health
Juliano Bueno de Araújo, national director of the No Fracking Brazil Coalition (COESUS), explains the risks of fracking and claims for Federal law to protect health, economy, and environment
Updated on August 15
An important debate about the use of the fracking technique for shale exploration in Brazilian soil reached the Federal Senate for the first time. At a public hearing happened on August 14 at 11 am, technical experts and authorities will bring to Brazilian parliamentarians the impacts that the practice can make on the country's agriculture, economy, health, and environment. Recently, two states Brazilians – Paraná and Santa Catarina – have sanctioned laws that ban the practice of their territories.
The decision to hold a public hearing on the issue came from Senator Soraya Thronicke (PSL), in conjunction with the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Agrarian Reform (CRA), which believes that discussing fracking is extremely important to understand how this "controversial extraction of shale gas technique works".
"We only estimate disadvantages about the technique and so we need to discuss it to better understand technically, what is the damage it causes to the environment, the population, agribusiness and, consequently, the whole country," he explains. Soraya
"It is extremely important to highlight that the five main Brazilian activities – agriculture, fish farming, pig farming, livestock, and poultry – will be extremely affected by shale gas extraction through fracking," says the founder and national director of the No Fracking Coalition. Brazil (COESUS), Juliano Bueno de Araújo. This is because the technique that causes systemic environmental impacts, death of animals and cultivars, as well as phytosanitary embargoes, reducing Brazil's competitiveness in agriculture and livestock international market".
According to environmental engineering expert Rubens Harry Born, consolidating sustainable and commercially viable farming activities, whether for the domestic market or for export, depends on policies and agencies to prevent soil degradation. "Fracking can cause serious economic, social and health impacts on surrounding populations – already proven in many countries. Therefore, human health, environmental and economic, depend on the prohibition of this activity", says Born.
Paraná State Deputy, Evandro Araújo (PSC), author of Law No. 19,878, the first Brazilian law that definitively prohibits fracking, sanctioned by Governor Carlos Massa Ratinho Júnior (PSD) on July 10, is another important person who will be present to bring to the Senate all the "experience and avant-garde of Paraná in the construction of anti-fracking laws". "This prohibition paves the way for other states to advance in this direction, ensuring that Brazilian agricultural production and economy follow a competitive and sustainable path," adds Araújo.
The farmer Beto Lunitti, who will also be on the hearing, points out that the expectation of proposing a dialogue about the harmfulness of the method to the senators is very high. "We need to show the Senate that Brazil has a number of clean and renewable energy sources – what we need is to invest in this area. We have to show firmly the damages of fracking, and also talk about the potentials that currently exist in the country," explains Lunitti.
The hearing held by the Committee on Agriculture and Agrarian Reform (CRA), in conjunction with the Environment Committee (CMA) and was attended by the Senator of the Eastern Republic of Uruguay, Carol Aviaga; the prosecutor of the Republic, Luis Roberto Gomes; State Representative, Evandro Araújo, rancher and national director of COESUS, Juliano Bueno de Araújo; PhD in Geography and COESUS volunteer, Luciano Henning; the farmer, Beto Lunitti; and Environmental Engineering specialist and public health doctor Rubens Harry Born.
How does fracking works?
Fracking is a technology used for the extraction of gas from the pyrobetuminous shale. To fracture the rock and release shale gas, private companies exploiting this drilling deep into the ground to insert a pipe injecting, under high pressure, 35 million liters of potable water, sand and more than 750 chemicals and radioactive substances with high carcinogenic potential.
The practice can cause contamination of water on both surface and groundwater sources and sterilization of the soil, making it infertile for agriculture. These effects have the potential to make livestock and tourism unfeasible as well. Another anticipated impact is the increased risk of serious and irreversible health damage such as breathing, heart, neurological problems, various cancers, congenital malformation, sterility in women, increased infant and perinatal mortality, low birth weight and premature birth.

Happiness and well-being are simply a state of mind. If you want to change your life's experiences, you can. But to do it, you have to change the way you think. We are taught that it is the people and situations in our lives that bring us our joy or unhappiness. We use jobs, relationships, material possessions and validation from others to achieve our feelings of success or lack. These things do not bring us happiness or unhappiness. It is our thoughts and reactions that dictate our level of happiness.
Observe your thoughts. Have you ever observed two people reacting in completely different ways over the same situation? What you are observing is how their thoughts and reactions create a different reality for each. When you change your thoughts, you change your reality. The mind believes that reality is whatever is imagined vividly and repeatedly. Whatever you tell your mind over and over creates your behaviors, perceptions and experiences. By observing and retraining your thinking you can release old patterns of stress, anger and illness, replacing them with peace, success and well-being. Watch and alter your thoughts, inspiring new behaviors and perceptions and creating new experiences and a new reality as you change them.
Catch your reactions. It is not the events in your life that cause your anger, stress, worry… It is thought that is creating these reactions. Thought that you need to take things personally, that things should be different than they are, that you need to worry about your future or past. Catch these reactions and ask yourself if they really help you or anybody else. If you get angry with the driver who cuts you off in traffic, will your anger teach him a lesson or does it just make you feel tension and stress? If you worry about your finances, does it help to improve your situation, or does it make you feel fearful and less capable of moving forward?

IBISWorld reveals online sectors affecting Christmas slow growth
While revenue is on the rise for online retailers, liquor stores and supermarkets, growth across other key categories has been constrained due to downturn in consumer income and sentiment
According to IBISWorld, Christmas retail spending is expected to stagnate this December, falling by 0.2% compared to the same time last year. While not all categories will be affected, IBISWorld is attributing the overall decline to lower discretionary incomes, negative consumer sentiment, and price discounting across the retail sector.
"Overall, IBISWorld has observed early signs that retailers will struggle to outperform over the 2017 holiday period," said IBISWorld analyst, Mr Jason Aravanis.
"Consumers are tending to transition to cheaper online retailers, particularly as the entrance of Amazon into the market increases the awareness of online platforms. Jewellery retailers, department stores, and electronic goods retailers are all expected to underperform this holiday season, although it isn't all bad news – with liquor retailers, supermarkets, and online retailers expected to experience some growth over the period."
Category Revenue in $ millions 16-17 Growth
Dec-13 Dec-14 Dec-15 Dec-16 Dec-17
Electronic goods 1,526.1 1,666.1 1,711.2 1,690.4 1,669.4 -1.2%
Jewellery and watches 463.0 500.4 529.9 547.9 539.7 -1.5%
Liquor 1,258.8 1,353.0 1,400.5 1,478.4 1,540.0 4.2%
Department Stores 2,725.5 2,756.9 2,913.6 2,850.4 2,796.3 -1.9%
Supermarkets 8,707.0 9,023.8 9,442.9 9,850.4 10,083.2 2.4%
Recreational goods 791.0 798.5 799.4 781.7 780.9 -0.1%
Source: ABS and IBISWorld
Electronic goods retailing
Christmas spending on electronic goods is expected to decline by 1.2% compared with this time last year, to total $1.7 billion. Despite advances in product design and technology, revenue has fallen due to strong price-based competition, progressive declines in the average price of some domestic appliance categories, and weak consumer sentiment. An expected drop in discretionary income in the current year is likely to cause some households to postpone big-ticket purchases, particularly computers and televisions.
"This Christmas season is likely to be particularly interesting due to the recent entrance of Amazon into the Australian market. Amazon is expected to try and capture the trust of Australian consumers during this Christmas period. IBISWorld expects Amazon to aggressively drive down prices, although this may not occur until after Christmas as Amazon integrates manufacturers into their local supply chain. Other large players, including Harvey Norman and JB Hi-Fi, are expected to accept lower margins as they offer significant discounts in an effort to prevent Amazon from capturing market share," explained Mr Aravanis.
Jewellery and watch retailing
Jewellery and watch retailers are expected to encounter subdued demand over December 2017, as revenue declines to $539.7 million, down 1.5% from the previous holiday period. IBISWorld research shows that spending on jewellery and watches typically doubles over the Christmas period. However, spending on these items over the entirety of 2017-18 is expected to be lower than previous years due to negative consumer sentiment and falling discretionary incomes.
"As consumers become less willing to spend large amounts on luxury items, IBISWorld expects retailers of more affordable jewellery and watches to attract a greater share of Christmas demand. However, independent online retailers are also likely to increase their share of the market as an increasing number of consumers opt for unique and cheaper jewellery items that are only available through online platforms," said Mr Aravanis.
According to IBISWorld, liquor sales are expected to grow by 4.2% this Christmas compared with last year. Over $1.5 billion is expected to be spent on liquor goods over the Christmas period, which represents close to 13.2% of total liquor sales revenue for the calendar year.
"The composition of alcohol consumption is expected to differ in comparison to previous holiday periods. IBISWorld expects average beer consumption per capita to be about 10 litres per person, while wine consumption is expected to be close to 4 litres. However, IBISWorld expects beer and wine to account for a smaller share of total alcohol spending, as demand for cider surges by 5.7% over 2017-18. In addition, craft beers are expected to account for a greater share of beer consumption, as consumers increasingly favour quality over quantity," explained Mr Aravanis.
Overall alcohol consumption per capita is expected to continue to decline due to rising health consciousness. Big-box liquor stores, such as Woolworths-owned Dan Murphy's, have relied on aggressive discounting to outperform independent retailers.
Department stores' festive takings are anticipated to decline this Christmas season, with sales expected to be 1.9% lower than last year's holiday season. Over December 2017, consumers are expected to spend $111.64 per capita in department stores. This is down from $116.94 in the previous year.
"Competition from online retailers is expected to continue to negatively affect sales, particularly as Amazon seeks to capture market share over the Christmas period. Discounting and negative consumer sentiment are also likely to hinder revenue growth," said Mr Aravanis.
IBISWorld expects major players such as David Jones and Myer to protect their margins by offering exclusive high-margin products and expanding their product ranges. In contrast, budget department stores such as Big W are expected to compete primarily through discounting.
Festive feasting is set to drive supermarket sales during the month of December. Consumer spending across most core categories is usually around 35% stronger during this period than over the rest of the year, according to IBISWorld research. Spending is expected to reach $10.1 billion in December 2017, which is an increase of 2.4% from last year's holiday period.
However, it may not be a happy holiday for supermarket establishments. While Christmas is a key period for supermarkets and grocery stores, intense pressure is limiting the margins of most establishments – with fierce competition between Woolworths, Coles, and ALDI.
"Price deflation across the supermarkets and grocery stores industry is expected to limit the increase in revenue generated during the Christmas period in 2017. In addition, consumer spending is expected to be hindered by falling discretionary incomes," explained Mr Aravanis.
According to IBISWorld, total spending on recreational goods such as toys, sporting goods and video games is expected to reach $780.1 million by Christmas, which is slightly lower than the same time last year.
"IBISWorld expects Christmas spending on sporting goods to be higher this year, due to greater sport participation. In contrast, expenditure on video games is expected to fall as online retailers continue to attract consumers through the advent of faster and cheaper internet connections," said Mr Aravanis.
Amazon's entry into the domestic market is expected to significantly increase price competition among retailers of recreational goods.
Online retailers are expected to be the big winners this Christmas season. Consumers will be driven online by the allure of lower prices and greater product ranges.
"IBISWorld expects online spending during December to grow by 15.0% from last year as budget-conscious consumers seek discounted items and Amazon increases the popularity of online shopping. Per capita online spending this Christmas is expected to reach $83.34, up from $76.68 in the previous year," said Mr Aravanis.
Consumers are more likely to shop online for items that are unlikely to be damaged during shipping, such as clothing. Increasing confidence in transaction security and shorter delivery times are also likely to spur greater use of online shopping platforms. The entrance of Amazon is likely to significantly increase retail trade over future Christmas periods, as consumers become aware of Amazon's discounted prices, short delivery times, and broad product range.
"The company's launch in Australia has been significantly more aggressive than in other countries, and IBISWorld expects Amazon to ramp up competition across retail industries," Mr Aravanis added.

The Rt Hon the Lord Robertson of Port Ellen – former Secretary General of NATO – will launch the two-day, real-time event at the University today. The exercise, based on the theme of increasing tension between Russia and Ukraine, is part of Stirling's MSc International Conflict and Cooperation – and Doctorate of Diplomacy – programmes.
The exercise will see 21 postgraduate students form teams to represent the UK, USA, France, Germany, Canada, Estonia, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Poland and Czech Republic during a simulated crisis event.
Students, who have been given a strategic assessment briefing ahead of the simulation, will be addressed – in their capacity as negotiation delegates – by Lord Robertson.
Dr Dee said: "While the simulation is, of course, fictional – based at a time when Ukraine has been accepted as a NATO member state – the context of the simulation nevertheless resonates strongly with the current geopolitical climate surrounding the North Atlantic region and its eastern neighbourhood.
Students on the Masters course consider the dynamics of international conflict and cooperation in light of major events such as the end of the Cold War, the 9/11 terror attacks and the Arab Spring. It explores conflict resolution, the role of international organisations, and the development and regulation of conflict in relation to factors such as natural resources and migration.

NHL 20 GAMING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Dates, gameplay rules and other specifics are not yet available.
The NHL 19 GWC was marred with issues related to competitive balance and fairness. While the tournament's qualifying stage is open to all who sign up, games are exclusively played through Hockey Ultimate Team (HUT) with unrestricted rosters, meaning those who pay for packs or coins will have the best teams. Players looking to compete with a squad of all gold players will likely be disappointed when matched up with squads loaded with 99-rated cards.
Here's a video from SGO Managing Editor Mike Straw on the issues with last year's Gaming World Championship:

Are natural remedies for Gastroenteritis effective?
You have more than likely experienced gastroenteritis at one point in your life even if you did not realize it. Gastroenteritis is the official medical term for the stomach flu. It is also known as gastric flu or stomach virus.
Gastroenteritis is triggered by a bacterial infection. The condition is most commonly categorized by extreme nausea, cramping and stomach pain, which then, turns exhibits symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, or both.
This sickness only lasts about 3 to 4 days before your body eradicates the viral or bacterial infection. In some cases, Gastroenteritis can remain longer, making life quite unhappy.
While most people straightaway turn to antiemetic medicine or antibiotics to rid themselves of the infection, this can weaken the immune system to future attacks, which are likely to occur, as the stomach flu is very common and spreads easily.
However, there is strong suggestion to advocate natural remedies. Some say they are actually the wisest approach to remedying gastroenteritis. The home remedies outlined in more detail below are some of the most trusted and effective home remedies for gastroenteritis.
1. Carbonated Beverages: carbonated beverages like sparkling water, soda water, or ginger ale help to settle those upset stomachs and soothe your nausea. Stay away from sugary juices or sodas.
2. Simple Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates like toast, crackers, cereal, potatoes, and basic fruits and vegetables help the body's nutrients digest very quickly.
3. Fluids. Drink as much water as possible to keep hydrated.
4. Yogurt: Beneficial bacteria, like yogurt, in the gut helps to digest food and protect your gastrointestinal system from infections.


Knowing what you're putting on/into your body is important, especially if you knew it was harmful!
We've done a bit of research and found some links to help you become more educated.

HealthCheck: Is killer 'Evolution' drink in circulation in Nigeria?
HealthCheck: Is killer 'Evolution' drink in circulation in Nigeria?
The claim is that the drink contains lethal poison that will lead to death, although no one has been reported to have died from taking the drink neither has anyone named a place where this 'killer-drink' can be bought. Despite the widespread distribution of this message, no one has bothered to find out if it is true.
Research by DUBAWA shows that the Evolution drink actually does exist. Jimmy Rosenberg the founder and Chief Juice Officer of Evolution Fresh began fresh fruit juice processing in 1980 and the company's website has information about the company, its management and its products.
The viral message that appears to be discrediting the brand did not originate in Nigeria however. Its existence was traced to a Facebook post from the United States in January of 2017 which was dismissed as a fake claim by snopes.com a fact-checking outfit operating from the USA.
According to Snopes, the message might have started when a woman named Ramineh Behbehanian was accused of placing rubbing alcohol into two bottles of evolution fresh drink, then switching the tainted bottles with others in a refrigerator at a San Jose Starbucks store.
Behbehanian, a chemist, was initially charged with attempted murder and poisoning. However, subsequent lab tests ordered by the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office found that the orange juice bottles allegedly dropped off by Behbehanian contained vinegar (a non-harmful substance), so the district attorney's office declined to file charges against her.
This appears to have been an isolated case of an 'experiment gone wrong' and the company was not accused of any wrongdoing either at the time of the investigation or during the court case.
Interestingly, the company does not produce or market its products in Nigeria. A statement on the company's website reads "the distribution or sale of Evolution Fresh juices outside the United States and Canada is unauthorized. Any product sold outside the U.S. and Canada is either counterfeit or has been purchased, shipped and resold".
The company responded to an enquiry regarding the production and distribution of their products thus:"Thanks for reaching out. We can confirm that Evolution Fresh is only sold in the U.S. and Canada. These rumours, however, are malicious, unfounded and completely false".
Despite the clarification by the manufacturers, the possibility exists that perhaps the product is being smuggled into Nigeria or cloned in the country.
However, research done in three major metropolitan cities – Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt – shows this product is not being sold anywhere in these cities.
The food and drug regulatory body in Nigeria, NAFDAC, also does not list Evolution Fresh products on its product recall list as might have been the case had the drinks been found to be in the country and poisonous.
A perusal of its archives also shows that the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), an organisation charged with the responsibility of ensuring imported products are up to required standards and safe for consumption, does not have Evolution Fresh registered as a product imported into Nigeria.
This Whatsapp message is therefore one of misinformation.
Until the veracity of this Whatsapp message is otherwise confirmed, it is perhaps wise not to help spread the misinformation.


As a result, 125 out of the 280 projects submitted within the third Call for Proposals were approved for funding in the framework of the Hungary–Romania Cross-Border Co-operation Programme requesting about 17,9 million Euro co-financing from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
The Managing Authority shall inform in writing the Lead Partners of the 45 newly approved projects concerning the final decision regarding their project through a formal Notification letter. This will contain information on the grant awarded, the conditions to be fulfilled (if any), as well as the details of the contracting procedure.
Please note that the list of approved projects is informative, only the notification letter of the Managing Authority shall be considered as official information.

U.K. Chief Rabbi: Women Saying Mourner's Kaddish Should Feel Comfortable, Supported
His comments follow the publication of a booklet for women aimed at demystifying the controversy surrounding women reciting Mourner's Kaddish.

Britain's Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis said that women who would like to say the Mourner's Kaddish "should feel comfortable and supported in doing so."
A guide to Jewish death and mourning rituals
Why I was denied the right to mourn my late mother
Western Wall rabbi says women will not be arrested for praying Kaddish at Kotel
His comments came in the wake of the publication Wednesday by the United Synagogue, a union of British Orthodox Jewish synagogues, of a mourning and Kaddish booklet for women.
"It is my hope that this guide will demystify the process of saying Kaddish, sorting the myths from the facts and will make a real difference to the grieving process for women in our community," Mirvis said in a statement on the United Synagogue website.
The booklet is being sent out to all United Synagogue communities, as well as rabbis, female teachers, burial societies and cemeteries. The booklet also offers other ways to commemorate the death of a deceased loved one, including learning Torah in the name of their loved one; helping others; praying and saying Psalms.
United Synagogue Trustee and Co-Chair of the United Synagogue Women Jacqui Zinkin led the effort to prepare the booklet, in the wake of the death of her father. Zinkin said in a letter to rabbis and female leaders accompanying the booklet that "I found that saying Kaddish provided a structure to my mourning and together with additional learning and chesed projects I began to feel my way through the initial loss. The grieving process is of course different for everyone and there may well be women who do not wish to say Kaddish and they should feel no obligation to do so. But, for those who feel like me, it can help with mourning the loss of a loved one."
The Mourner's Kaddish is recited during each of the three daily prayer services in the presence of a minyan. Under Jewish law, women are exempt from saying Kaddish regularly due to its time-bound nature. Women's recitation of Kaddish in many Orthodox synagogues and at public funerals has been controversial, with some saying that women should not recite Kaddish publicly or should only recite it if a man is saying it at the same time.

On Saturday September 14th, I was lucky enough to be able to see one of Sylvie Guillem's final performances ever!! I went with a few of my friends from Ellison Ballet. This show was her last performance in the U.S. I am a huge fan of her as a dancer and also as a human being. Sylvie is also a big supporter of Sea Shepherd, a non-profit that defends the oceans, and she is also vegan!!! Yay!! I have recently gone vegan but have been a vegetarian my whole life. She is an inspiring role model. Sylvie is now 50 years old and her career was about 35 years. I feel honored to have been able to watch her farewell.
A quick pic before heading in.
My friend, Ashlyn, went to go see her perform on Thursday and I asked her how it was and she had a loss for words. When I saw Sylvie perform her first piece, I felt the same. The choreography of the first piece was so different and unique but it suited Sylvie very well and she performed it with perfection. I could really feel her emotion of the piece too. I mean it is so hard to explain any of these pieces because it was just so incredible. You would really have to witness it live.
The next piece was a duo choreographed by William Forsythe with two male dancers, also contemporary. It was quite interesting because it started out with no music; just the two men dancing with each other. They connected their movements together nicely and it was almost like one did a movement and then the other would sort of react to it or continue it. To me it seemed like that some parts were as if one was a shadow of the other. Sylvie came on in this piece near the end for about 30 seconds or so. Ashlyn said she didn't do this on Thursday night.
Sylvie then did a duo (Here and After) with Emanuela Montanari (La Scala). It was choreographed by Russel Maliphant. They danced so in sync and I really liked the choreography and music. I couldn't see this from my seat, but if you sat a little higher you could see the lights on the floor. The lights would go with the music or where Sylvie and moved across the stage.
During intermission we all met up and we were all in shock that we were actually seeing Sylvie perform live!!!
The final piece was titled "Bye" (choreo by Mats EK). It started out with this rectangle screen near upstage left. (If you are on watching from the audience it would be considered upstage/rear right) It had a projection on it with Sylvie. She would then dance with this projection. It was hard to tell if the projection was actually Sylvie in that moment or not because she was so in sync with it. In some points throughout the piece I thought that it was filming her and then projecting it onto the screen live. Thats how in sync with it she was! Again, hard to explain but amazing to watch. If it comes out on DVD I would definitely buy it.
After this piece was performed, Sylvie came out to bow and she got a standing ovation from the sold out theater!!! It probably lasted for about 10-15 minutes! People handed her flowers from the front row. I wish I was sitting there!
I then met my friends outside the theater and we headed to the stage door. There was already a decent amount of people waiting. Some of my friends were closer to the door, but Gillian, Claire and I stayed back a bit but were in the center facing the door where we thought she would exit. We had to wait for about 45 minutes, but it was definitely worth it!
There was a security guard there and they had this pretty organized. Sylvie stayed inside this area in the doorway. People were allowed through the doorway in groups and she took several group pictures. If you wanted something signed you would just hand it to her and she would go through the pile signing everything. She already had a sharpie. I had her sign my pointe shoe.
I am so grateful to have been able to see this idol perform and I am still in shock that I got to meet her. Sylvie is a beautiful person and dancer.
Thanks for reading and keep dancing!

Dr. Phil: My Father Predicted My Success 24 Hours Before His Death
CC | tv-pg
Dr. Phil McGraw is a household name today. However, during his sit-down for Oprah's Super Soul Conversations, he reveals to Oprah that long before he embarked on his TV career, his father knew he was destined for greatness. Here, in a personal moment, Dr. Phil opens up about the day his father told him he was dying and then predicted his son's future with shocking accuracy. "He said, 'The day is going to come when you are going to have an opportunity to speak to a lot of people,'" Dr. Phil says. "'There are times in people's lives when they come to the precipice where all things wrong can be made right, where they have opportunities to really make changes in their lives. But people have a difficult time recognizing those moments, and you will point those moments out. I know that.' And he died within 24 hours."
Listen to Oprah and Dr. Phil's full conversation on Oprah's Super Soul Conversations podcast, available on Apple Podcasts beginning Monday, May 14.
