I'm a big fan of my Fitbit pedometer because it does most of its work without any interaction. I clip it onto my pocket and it counts my steps and flights of stairs as I walk throughout the day, then automatically, wirelessly uploads the data to Fitbit's website whenever I'm within range of its USB dongle plugged into one of my computers. The whole thing works without having to think about it or plug anything in. The battery lasts for about a week, and when it finally runs low, my low battery notifier sends a message to my phone through Pushover telling me to put it on its charger for a few hours.
To add to my step data, I got a Withings scale last year which logs my weight and BMI on Withings' website automatically every time I step on the scale. Fitbit's website syncs this data from Withings, so now I'm able to track my steps, flights of stairs, weight, and BMI, all automatically, all on Fitbit's website. I use this data mainly as a motivation to walk more and not get fat, just as my Wii Fit motivated me to exercise every day by tracking all of the data. When I know my Fitbit is counting my steps, I'll avoid hopping on the bus or train to get home and just walk. A few times I've left the house and upon noticing my Fitbit wasn't there, walked all the way back and got it just so the steps I was going to take that day would "count".

Abstract: The article focuses on the formation of conceptual foundations of the state social strategy in the NEP period in relation to workers and rural people on the basis of published and archival sources, and scientific literature. After a long destructive period of hostilities, economic crisis and social and political experiments of the new government such current problems of public importance as saving homeless children, helping the unemployed, overcoming the housing crisis, the need to build a health care system, as well as the need to define new rules for the interaction between government and society were on the agenda for the state leadership. According to the class approach applied in this period, the state of different population segments was not identical. There were distinguished social groups which, due to their loyalty to the authorities or for other reasons, became the priority recipients of benefits, social protection, assistance, etc. The purpose of the article is to describe and compare the place of workers and rural people in the course of social policy of the USSR in 1921−1928. Given the scarcity of material resources and the established ideology frameworks, which defined the categories of "us" – "them", it was supposed to spend state resources and efforts of leaders of all levels to provide material assistance only to certain social groups which made up the social base of the party. It is significant that proletarians and needy rural people were identified as the only recipients of urgent state aid at the 10th Congress of the RCPB in March, 1921; the difficulties of such social groups as artisans, employees, intellectuals and others were not officially mentioned. It was found out that the decisions of the party and the government in the field of social policy during the NEP period paid more attention to certain sections of the society. The vision of the party leadership of the place and the role of individual social groups in the structure of the new state society was manifested, first of all, in the documents that regulated the financial position of the population. Workers were traditionally supported by the Bolsheviks, who always declared this; rural people were divided into groups; they considered themselves to be illegally and unfairly transferred to minor roles, and their initiative to engage in active social and political life was confronted by distrust and opposition from the authorities.

WELLS A PERFECT FIT IN PEN
By Joel Sherman
June 2, 2003 | 4:00am
DETROIT – The bullpen that could not protect Roger Clemens' 300th victory mustered a performance to get and defend David Wells' 192nd.
It was that kind of bizarre, 5-hour, 10-minute affair at Comerica Park, with the Yankees finally winning 10-9 in 17 innings.
Wells had joked before the game about not ever being able to endure Clemens' fanatical workouts. Yet, the 40-year-old Clemens – with a huge assist from his negligent defense – began to falter in the fifth inning and was done after six. Meanwhile, the 40-year-old, portly Wells threw a bullpen session Saturday to prove he was fine after missing a start with a bruised calf, and then authored 5 2/3 brilliant innings of emergency relief yesterday to earn the win.
"I'm blessed with a rubber arm," Wells said.
So Wells, whom Clemens has no use for, won on what should have been Clemens' big day. The Yanks led 7-1 going into the fifth and seemed in control against the majors' worst team. But undermined by three errors, Clemens yielded five runs in the fifth. Still, the Yanks led 8-6 in the seventh.
Torre called on Sterling Hitchcock because Chris Hammond had pitched the two previous days, pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre said. Hitchcock allowed singles to two of three batters, and Stottlemyre said he did not like the lefty's rhythm or that his pitches were up. So although Detroit pinch-hit Craig Monroe, who had no hits in his previous 20 at-bats, Torre summoned Antonio Osuna.
Detroit countered with Carlos Pena, who singled in a run. After an Eric Munson walk, Osuna tried to throw a cutter down, but it floated over the plate and Shane Halter hit a long sacrifice fly to tie the score and eliminate Clemens' 300 chances. On this day, asking the Yankee pen to defend such an important milestone was like having former New York Times reporter Jayson Blair defend the First Amendment.
"It is probably the most disappointing thing I have had happen to me in a long time," Hitchcock said. "Obviously I know what is at stake, and I want to help get [Clemens] the win."
Osuna said, "I was trying to do the best I could for him."
At that point, the Yankee pen seemed to recognize they were pitching to the offensively awful Tigers. Osuna pitched a scoreless eighth. Hammond – despite his third straight day of use – pitched a dominant ninth. And Mariano Rivera delivered two strong innings in his follow-up to a blown save against Boston.
With Hammond on the mound, Stottlemyre discussed relieving with Wells, who was gung-ho, saying afterward, "it was a blessing in disguise that I was available."
Wells threw five scoreless innings before the Yanks took the lead in the top of the 17th. In the bottom half, he allowed a two-out RBI double to Eric Munson. Juan Acevedo, who closed last year for Detroit, then got Shane Halter to fly to center to seal a win, that for the Yankees, truly was a relief.

Nikki Bella Knows What It's Like To Be A WWE Champ
There's a new champ in town.
Nikki Bella defeated three-time WWE Divas Champ AJ Lee at Survivor Series on Sunday. Lee still holds the record for longest reign at 295 days, but it looks like Bella is ready to challenge that mark.
The 31-year-old wrestler sat down for a revealing interview with E! Online after her surprising victory. "It felt different waking up today. It honestly feels amazing. I hate to compare this but I'm going to—you know when you have Olympic athletes who fight for something for years, and they finally get that goal—get that medal, it's just such an amazing feeling."
It wasn't an easy road for Bella, but it was all worth it in the end. The 2013 Diva of the Year had to make sacrifices in order to achieve her goals, "You kind of get in this weird emotion but it feels so good and it makes all the hard work and the traveling and missing all the family events and weddings and friends' pregnancies, worth it."
A "kiss" ends @WWEAJLee's @WWEDivas Title reign, as Nikki Bella becomes the new Champion at #SurvivorSeries! pic.twitter.com/1z9BJS0kDK
— WWE (@WWE) November 24, 2014
And what was the secret to defeating the former reigning champ? "You watch someone and you see how they are and sometimes you can use that against them," she said. "She did that kiss of death to Brie's husband Bryan at Wrestlemania and she made history; we made new history last night—we did it even quicker. You know when someone thinks they're good at something, you can use it against them and that's what we did. We did the kiss of death."
What comes next for Bella? The Diva also discussed her future goals, "I definitely want to accomplish so much more. This Divas Championship I hold so close to my heart and I love the Divas division and WWE, and we've seen what the power of Total Divas does for our Divas, I want to make this title so much, I want to make every Diva mean something, I want to have a long title run; I know AJ had an insanely long title run and i want to beat it."

Now is the perfect time to visit Discovery Cove in Orlando. It's a day resort experience where you can swim with dolphins, snorkel with rays and tropical fish, hand-feed exotic birds and relax in the Florida sunshine.
The highlight of a visit to Discovery Cove is the opportunity to swim with an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin during a 30-minute interactive adventure. Accompanied by a trainer, you'll wade into shallow water where a photographer will snap photos of you interacting with the dolphin. Then you head out to deeper water for an exciting dorsal fin tow ride back to shore — so fun!
The staff limits daily attendance to around 1,300 guests, to ensure that the property doesn't feel overcrowded. And your admission includes breakfast, lunch, and snacks, as well as beverages (water bottles, soft drinks, and alcoholic beverages) throughout the day. You'll also get your own wetsuit, towel and snorkel gear to use at the park, where there are private lockers, showers and dressing rooms.
At the Grand Reef, you'll have the opportunity to snorkel among tropical fish, rays, and canyons inspired by reefs from around the world. You've also got to try out the SeaVenture. It's an underwater walking tour with dive helmets where you get up-close and personal with unique animals, colorful schools of fish and sharks (safely behind massive panoramic windows).
Hands down the coolest lazy river I've ever seen, there's a winding waterway that meanders through the park, where you'll encounter hidden beaches, palm-covered walkways and rocky lagoons. Grab a floating device and travel through different environments: a sunny island beach, a dense tropical forest and an underwater cave. There's also waterfalls and a bird sanctuary with exotic species.
For more info visit DiscoveryCove.com or call 1-877-434-7268.

Field is a physical quantity, which is represented by a number There are many types are field in physics. Lets see..
Electric Field: When an electric charge is surrounded by another electric charge in the same region means, it experiences a force.
We know that electric charges experience forces in the presence of other charges. An electric charge induces an electric field in the space surrounding it which in turn exerts forces on other charges present.
The force F is acting on a charge q in an electric field E is given by..
This electric field acts radially outwards for a positive charge and radially inwards for a negative charge.
Example: Objects fall to the ground because they are affected by the force of earth's gravitational field.
Newton's Law of Gravitation states that the gravitational force F between two point masses M and m a distance r apart in a vacuum is attractive, acts along the line joining their centers, and is proportional to the masses and inversely proportional to the square of their separations.
Example: A paper clip, placed in the magnetic field surrounding a magnet, is pulled toward the magnet, and two like magnetic poles repel each other when one is placed in the other's magnetic field.
A magnetic field can be produced by either a current flow (movement of charge) or a magnetized material. The pole of a magnet or a moving charged particle in a magnetic field will feel a magnetic force.
Electromagnetic field, a property of space caused by the motion of an electric charge. A static charge will produce only an electric field in the surrounding space (That is voltage). Also, If the same charge is moving around the conductor (that is current), it produces a magnetic field. An electric field can be produced also by a changing magnetic field. The mutual interaction of electric and magnetic fields produces an electromagnetic field, which is considered as having its own existence in space apart from the charges or currents (a stream of moving charges) with which it may be related.

Q: Dynamically change the MLKit version on certain page. Error: failed resolution of: Lcom/google/mlkit/vision/common/internal/Detector my current project containing 1 third party / vendor function which trigger camera to scan documents AND 1 packages "mobile_scanner" (https://pub.dev/packages/mobile_scanner) to scan bar/qr code
my app hit error and crash when trying to open the third party camera to scan document. I found out the problem hit because both(plugin and packages) using different version of MLKit
third party: implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services.mlkit-face-detection:16.1.7'
mobile_scanner: implementation 'com.google.mlkit:barcode-scanning:17.0.3'
the third party app not touching or calling the barcode scanning MLKIT somehow the app will crash.
after did some research, this is what i concluded even though they didn't specified in the docs https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/release-notes#june_02_2021
i try use both mlkit service that release at the same time. e.g. face-detection:16.1.7 and barcode-scanning:16.1.2 will NOT crash... i tested this by remove the packages and put the implementation in project build gradle
i try to use lowest version of the packages however, the lowest version of packages also using MLKit that is higher than the third party app

Information technology software provider Synnex (SNX 88.04, +3.14, +3.70%) continues to build on modest gains on Thursday. Shares initially traded lower last night and opened mostly flat this morning as it appears the company's tepid guidance for the fourth quarter may be outweighing the third quarter earnings beat and solid fiscal 2019 guide.
Firstly, Synnex reported a decent third quarter. Earnings per share of $2.57 were higher than expected and revenue growth of 14.8% to $4.91 bln narrowly edged out market views. Gross margins were 8.8% in Q3, an improvement of 6 basis points from the prior year.
Technology Solutions and Concentrix both reflected expansions in gross margins. The increase in Synnex's Technology Solutions gross margin was driven by the Westcon-Comstor acquisition and due to product and services mix. Concentrix's gross margins were materially higher than the prior year period.
Breaking it down by business segment Synnex's largest business, Technology Solutions, saw revenue growth of 17% to $4.4 bln. Non-GAAP operating income was $120 mln, or 2.7% of segment revenue, in the fiscal third quarter of 2018, compared to $101 mln, or 2.7% of segment revenue, in the prior fiscal year third quarter.
The smaller Concentrix business saw revenues decline about 1% to $492 mln on non-GAAP operating income was $43 mln, or 8.7% of segment revenue, in the fiscal third quarter of 2018, compared to $39 mln, or 7.8% of segment revenue, in the prior fiscal year third quarter.
The company's outlook, though, appears to have trumped the aforementioned performance in early reactions to the report. For Q4, Synnex's EPS guidance of $2.90-3.10 was in-line with market views but missed on the midpoint. What's more, revenue guidance of $5.2-5.4 mln, too, missed on the midpoint of market expectations.
The Convergys portion of this revenue range is expected to be approximately $425 mln with an adjusted operating margin of approximately 10%. The company also offered some revenue headwinds that relates to its net revenue. Synnex's forecast reflects an approximate 5% increase in Technology Solutions net revenue compared to the prior quarter given its continued increase in sales of specialty services in cloud solutions such as software, licenses and hardware, and software bundled services.
Management also offered expectations for fiscal 2019 non-GAAP EPS of $11.40-11.90, firmly above market expectations at this point. The company also believes this can be accomplished as a result of the combination of organic earnings growth in its legacy business and the expected mid to high single-digits in accretion expected from the Convergys deal.
The above guidance mentions the company's pending acquisition of Convergys, which management commented last night is expected to close on Friday, October 5, 2018.
As the session has progressed, shares of SNX have ticked higher after trading down 8.8% at one point last night. The stock opened roughly 0.2% higher this morning, yet still trades firmly under both the 50-day simple moving average (94.28) and the 200-day (109.61) with YTD losses north of 35%.

Why does Marx Foods sell in bulk, how many portions are in each case?
The Marx family has been selling these same quality products to fine restaurants for over a decade, but MarxFoods.com and its ability to sell to consumers is a relatively recent offshoot of the family's restaurant supplier business.
Leveraging connections in the top-quality restaurant supply world, we are able to provide the very best gourmet foods, but most of them have to be packaged in restaurant-sized cases. Several of our perishable items arrive frozen and can be consumed right away, shared with friends and family, or stored in your freezer for later use. Many of our items are individually wrapped within the case for easy sharing, storing, and freezing. Some (like our Kobe beef steaks) have alreadybeen broken into individual portions for your convenience.
It is important to remember that these products are substantially higher quality than those found in your grocery store. They are regularly sold to expert chefs who will settle for nothing less than the very finest ingredients. For example, our dried porcini mushrooms are really wild and hand-foraged in the United States…most of the dried porcinis you find in your local mega mart were most likely grown in China and don't look a thing like a mushroom.

Cortisol and the hypercholesterolemia of pregnancy and labor
Harvey A. Schwertner, Linda Torres, William G. Jackson, Humberto A. Maldonado, Joseph D. Whitson, Raymond G. Troxler
Lipids and lipoproteins are known to increase substantially during pregnancy and to decrease rapidly after delivery. The factors responsible for the changes have not been identified, however, they could be related to changes in one or more of the endocrine hormones. Since studies relating lipid and lipoprotein changes to cortisol or estradiol concentrations have not been made, we sought to perform such a study. For this study, we measured cholesterol, HDL-C, VLDL/LDL-C, cortisol, and estradiol concentrations from early gestation through delivery in 32 normal pregnant women. During the course of pregnancy, cholesterol increased from 145 to 211 mg/dl (45%); plasma cortisol increased from 8.6 to 17.8 μg/dl (107%); and urinary cortisol increased from 0.10 to 0.177 μg/mg of creatinine (72%). Further significant increases in cholesterol (256 mg/dl, P < 0.005) and cortisol (77.6 μg/dl, P < 0.001) occurred during labor, and both decreased after delivery. Pooled correlations were calculated and both cholesterol and VLDL/LDL-cholesterol concentrations were found to be related to plasma cortisol as well as to urinary cortisol (P < 0.001). Plasma estradiol concentrations increased during pregnancy, but not during labor. The results suggest that the increases in cholesterol during pregnancy and labor could be due, in part, to the metabolic and stress-related increases in cortisol. The studies also suggest that both pregnancy and labor and delivery might be useful "natural" models for studying hormonal mechanisms involved in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism.

Beautiful Ancient Rings - Part 1. The Origins
Finger Ring. 7th century Geography:Made in Northern France Culture:Frankish Medium: Gold, garnet cabochon Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Image: Public Domain [10.]
The finger ring is one of the earliest jewelry in human history. Finger rings have been found in tombs in Ur dating back to circa 2500 BC. [6.] Archaeological material shows that the types of rings that arose in the ancient times have not lost their role and significance even nowadays. They are "the most common and perhaps the most evocative pieces of jewelry. Worn as a sign of love or as a fashion accessory, to mark weddings, to remember the dead, or to show religious faith, they hold a multitude of meanings. They might also display less private sentiments, by reflecting the currents of politics and public events." [1.]
Throughout history rings have followed trends of decorative arts. Rachel Church [1.] states that rings are a miniature history of art and design. [1.]
The oldest rings had a certain design. Many of them can be divided into three main elements - the hoop, the bezel and the shoulder. The hoop, which encircles the finger, can be plain, enameled, engraved or inscribed. The most impressive part of some rings is the bezel as it might be set with a gemstone or a seal, or feature an engraved or enameled design. [1.] Some rings have sculptural shoulders to join the hoop of the bezel which makes the ring even more impressive.
The Most Ancient Rings
Openwork faience ring. ca. 1090–900 B.C. Culture: Ancient Egypt Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Image: Public Domain [11.]
"Rings became more common in Egypt from c. 2000 BC, especially scarab rings which also were used as portable seals. The scarab beetle, usually carved in stone, was engraved with a hieroglyph 'signature' on its underside, and had a hole drilled along its length."[5.] During the time of Tutankhamun, more conventional seal rings have appeared. Ring owner's name was engraved on the upper face of the bezel. Also more elaborate rings consisting of sculpted figures of the gods and symbolic animals were made in Ancient Egypt. Very popular was the polychrome inlay rings with simple lotus flower motifs. [5.]
Egyptians made not only stone rings but also metal rings. Some faience rings in Ancient Egypt were used as new year gifts. [3. ]
The Greek & Roman Antiquity. The Byzantine Splendor & Dark Ages
In the ancient world, various rings were worn, signet rings, rings set with stones carved into the shape of the Egyptian scarab beetle [4.] as the native styles were superseded by Greek and Roman fashions during the Ptolemaic dynasty. [7.] Such Egyptian scarab beetle rings often swivelled to reveal a flat lower surface carved with a device used as a seal. [4.] During that times were introduced new techniques including the use of a cutting wheel and a drill so that hard stones such as cornelian could be carved. [4.]
Ancient Roman jewelers were also the great innovators. "The great contribution of the Romans to jewelry was the cameo, cutting away the top surface of a stone to reveal darker shades below, used for bracelets, rings and pendants. Another innovation was the setting into rings of coins. Bronze and iron rings sometimes have a small key attached, probably to unlock a dactyliotha or cabinet of rings or women's jewel-boxes." [4.]
When Roman Empire collapsed, Byzantium became the cultural center of the world. Early Byzantine jewelry was Roman in influence, but at the same time there was also Persian and Arabic influences that made costume and jewelry became more opulent. Heavy decorated clothing was worn, shot through with gold and large areas were covered with pearls and precious stones. [4.]
During the so-called Dark Ages, Ancient Roman jewelry prototypes were amended and transformed among the Germanic tribes and the Celts. However, the Celtic people stood out with an independent approach. This produced hammered work with details in repousse, the use of colored enamel, amber, and rounded-cut rocks and crystals that were embedded in finger rings. Their design differed with use of interwining curves and naturalistic details. Exactly that approach was different from that of the ancient world.

Soak the bread in water and squeeze out any excess using your hands.
Crumble the bread and add to the meat.
Add the onion, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper and knead well for 10 minutes.
Make large walnut size balls in your hands and then press down to flatten them out.
Heat the oil, add the meatballs and lightly brown them on both sides.
Remove from the fry pan and arrange them in a flat pan with a lid.
Cover them with the chopped tomato and sprinkle on salt.
Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes on a medium heat.
Alternatively you can place slices of potato, tomato and bell peppers on top of the meatballs.
The Turkish name for this recipe is Kimyonlu Sahan Köftesi.


No one represents fun and youthfulness like Minnie Mouse. I spent the day with her and her friends at Disneyland and then had a Minnie Mouse birthday party at home.
I made tissue puffs, Martha Stewart style to hang over our food table. The red, white, and polka dot tissue paper are from Target. I sewed a couple easy table runners from black and white and red and white polka dot fabrics all from Joann. Then I made a matching bunting to hang beneath the puffs.
I served red, black and white food. I found the Mickey Mouse bowls at Target.
Fresh strawberries, red suckers, huge black olives, cherry tomatoes, and mozzarella balls.
For our main dish we had Minnie Mouse bows with Puttanesca sauce and garlic bread.
We had black and white cake aka Nabisco Famous Chocolate Refrigerator Roll. I found the Mickey and Minnie figures at the Dollar Tree.
The cake is wonderful alone but the strawberries fit with our color theme. I've also made a chocolate version.
We had water from a clear pitcher with ice and frozen cherries. I also had red and black licorice on the table. Yum!
I found some cute red and white polka dot napkins at Target too. And, of course, now that my party is over I'm finding all kinds of Mickey and Minnie stuff. Sigh.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Feel free to leave a comment. I also have many more ideas, tips, and tutorials on my other blog, The Vintage Sheet Blog.
very nice! i love the puffs hanging over the dessert table! Will have to try that!
Wow, super cute and creative!
Hi! That was a super cute party. im planning my baby's birthday and I was looking for those mickey mouse bowls, I can't find them at target or anywhere. Would you sell yours?

More charges for accused sick puppy peddler; bond increased to over $1 million; girlfriend arrested
Funeral details announced for slain Coweta County deputy
PALMETTO, Ga. (FOX 5 Atlanta) - Officials have announced the funeral arrangements for a Coweta County deputy shot and killed at a home in Palmetto, Georgia, Tuesday night.
Palmetto police were called to a home on Snowfall Terrace near the Fulton-Coweta county line around 9:40 p.m. for a shots fired call. They found Deputy Sheriff Edmond Irvin, 25, dead from gunshot wounds.
After an investigation, police arrested 17-year-old Danny Long, Irvin's cousin, 5 miles away at a mobile home park. Coweta County officials said Irvin apparently got into a physical altercation with Long, which ended in gunfire.
"This was a man who never forgot where he came from and was always willing to help others, he didn't just come in to do a shift and leave. He wanted to make a difference," Coweta County Sheriff Lenn Wood said.
MORE: Police: Off-duty deputy killed by cousin in Palmetto
On Saturday, the Palmetto Police Department shared information about Irvin's funeral through a flyer from the Cook Brothers Funeral Directors.
A public viewing will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, May 7 at the Saint Smyrna Baptist Church on 68 Heery Road in Newnan. A private visitation will happen afterward.
A celebration of life will be held at the church at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, May 8. Irvin will then be buried at Floral Hill Cemetery in Palmetto.
Long has been charged with a count of murder and a count of terroristic threats. He currently is being held at the Fayette County Jail.
The Georgia Bureau of Investgiation is continuing to investigate the shooting.

Do the KIND Thing
Thank you for your support in 2020
KIND Friends,
2020 was a deeply challenging year for our country. At KIND and The KIND Foundation, we worked hard to support one another and our communities with initiatives such as the Frontline Impact Project, which is mobilizing companies to donate resources to over a million frontline heroes including healthcare workers battling COVID and firefighters responding to our nation's wildfires. At the same time, we have sought to keep you nourished throughout this trying time by upholding our KIND Promise to create delicious and healthy foods that lead with wholesome, nutritious ingredients.
COVID has accentuated the urgent need for us to take care of one another, regardless of our differences. Together we…
Shared kindness with those who have not had their fair share of it with our Snack & Give Back program supporting:
Women through the Alice Paul Institute and Equal Rights Amendment
LBGTQ community through the Ali Forney Center
Frontline workers and veterans through the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
Spread kindness globally with #21DAYSKIND, our first-ever kindness initiative to span across the world, all aimed at making kindness a daily habit
Organized dozens of companies through Frontline Impact Project to donate resources to over a million frontline workers battling COVID 19 and natural disasters
Elevated our work to model KIND values across society by forming our DE&I Action Team whose initiatives are further fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion across KIND
Launched our first major global sustainability initiative committed to sourcing almonds exclusively from bee-friendly farms by 2025
Helped connect children from different backgrounds right from their homes through The KIND Foundation's signature initiative Empatico
We extended the KIND Promise to six new product lines so that KIND can be there for you in more ways throughout your days:
KIND Frozen bars, a plant-based, creamy frozen treat made from nutrient-dense nuts layered with dark chocolate and nut butter
KIND Bark, a delicious treat featuring nuts with premium dark chocolate and the first of its kind to lead with a nutrient-dense first ingredient
KIND® Nut Butter Bar, our first-ever refrigerated, smooth and creamy nut butter protein bar
KIND Clusters, poppable bite-size clusters made with delicious almonds, peanuts or coconut as the first ingredient
KIND Frozen Smoothie Bowls, vegan frozen bowls layered with fruit- and almond-milk smoothie, creamy almond butter, and granola
KIND Energy bars, energy bars whose first ingredient is oats, unlike others whose first ingredients are sugars
While we are proud of our efforts, we recognize how much work we have to do. People are suffering from losing lives and livelihoods to COVID-19. Our country is deeply divided and polarized. We need to unite around the American values that have made our country so special and that we too often take for granted. It feels clear that our mission to build a kinder world is needed now more than ever, which is why the Lubetzky Family Foundation is working on a new bridge-building project we look forward to sharing with you.
At KIND, we truly strive to model values of empathy and respect for one another regardless of our differences – to listen to one another even when – and especially when – we disagree. We are not perfect, but we are earnestly trying to be ambassadors for a world in which we take care of one another and celebrate our shared humanity. I hope that you, our community, will join us in this endeavor to reach across divides with kindness.
Thank you for your support this year and always.
With warmth,
COVID-19 Empathy KIND

There's only one way to stop violent extremists, as seen in CNN
Civil Society, Featured
(CNN) Extremism has a knack for metastasizing and coming back to wreak havoc upon its hosts. Once a cohort or society builds a hateful mindset, the hatred takes on a life of its own. Extremist ideology not only hurts a society's enemies, but also eventually attacks from within and harms the society from which it originated. I first started observing this phenomenon abroad — and it saddens but does not surprise me that we are starting to see it haunt American democracy too.
Continuing KIND's efforts to promote a kinder, more equitable world
Business, Civil Society, Featured
Even before COVID, our social fabric was beginning to fray. Over the course of years, long-standing inequalities and systemic racism have become starkly exposed and greatly exacerbated as division and polarization among Americans grows. Now, more than 10 million Americans remain unemployed and over 350,000 people have lost their lives to COVID. People of Color have been disproportionately affected due to inequalities rampant across our healthcare system, economy, and society.
Overcoming these challenges will require all of us to deepen our commitment to standing up against injustice while also working to rebuild trust and empathy across our communities. We must continue to dig deep to model the values we want to see in our society by taking stock of our own actions, big or small, each day. As a global brand and movement, KIND has an even greater opportunity and responsibility to make an impact…
Two Giants Have Passed, Their Lessons Stay with Me
Business, Civil Society, Featured, Personal
My father's generation is exceptional in many ways. They just don't make them like they used to. Since my Dad's passing in 2003, I have grown so much closer to a couple dozen people in my Dad's age group whom I feel so blessed to count among my friends and mentors. They have all made an important impact on society while retaining their down-to-earth nature, kindness and humility. I wish my Dad could be here to meet them. Our society would be so much better off were we to draw more from their wisdom and values.
Two giants cut from the same cloth were recently lost to our world in close succession. These men are Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks and Sir James Wolfensohn, whose impact on me I'd like to commemorate with these reflections.

The Bill Cosby – Donald Trump feud that erupted on the Today Show and continues today is a lesson about staying on message. Cosby appeared on Today to discuss education reform but that message got obliterated when he said Trump was "full of it." The question was almost a throw away because Trump appeared on the show before Cosby. Trump responded by saying Cosby was dishonest. I don't think either man benefits from the exchanges and they certainly don't help the message strategy or cause of either one. Message discipline sometimes requires keeping opinions to yourself.

Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-TX) nose grows so long from "lyin'" that it wraps around his neck in a new ad released Thursday by a super PAC supporting Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R).
The 30-second TV spot from New Day for America, dubbed "Nose," catalogues controversies that have followed the Republican senator's presidential campaign and borrows the "Lyin' Ted" nickname that frontrunner Donald Trump has thrust on his rival.
"Many just call him, 'Lyin' Ted,'" the ad begins, as a truly uncanny digital rendering of Cruz's nose begins to sprout out of his face. Cruz's growing nose makes a U-turn around his head and wraps several times around his neck throughout the ad.
"Lied about Ben Carson to steal a win in Iowa," a voiceover continues, making reference to the Cruz campaign disseminating a false report that Carson was leaving the campaign trail on the night of the Iowa caucuses.
The bizarre spot is the work of Fred Davis, the ad maker behind the infamous "Demon Sheep" ad for Carly Fiorina's failed 2010 U.S. Senate campaign in California, the Washington Post reported.
According to New Day, the ad is part of a $500,000 statewide buy across Wisconsin, where Cruz and Trump are closely matched ahead of the state's April 5 primary. Cruz leads Trump in the Badger State by four points, according to TPM's PollTracker Average.

How far off is a deal? 4 takeaways from the Trump-Kim summit
World Feb 28, 2019 7:19 AM EST
The summit between President Donald Trump and North Korea leader Kim Jong Un ended Thursday without a new deal, a setback that underscored the major divide the two nations face in achieving a lasting peace and the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
Trump said Kim wanted the U.S. to lift all economic sanctions in exchange for dismantling some of North Korea's nuclear facilities but would not agree to destroy some of the most important sites the U.S. identified.
"Sometimes you have to walk, and this was just one of those times," Trump told reporters in Hanoi, saying he had papers ready to be signed but that it would not have been "appropriate." "I would much rather do it right than do it fast," he added.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said talks with the North Koreans would continue and he was "optimistic" that the two sides would be able to come to an agreement in the future.
How long it will take to reach a deal, or even if a deal is really within reach, remains unclear. But foreign policy analysts said the events that took place at the summit in Hanoi, Vietnam, did provide some insight into what still needs to be worked out.
The importance of pre-summit negotiations
White House officials insist they made significant progress before Trump and Kim met Wednesday, and that further gains were made in Hanoi despite the absence of a new agreement.
The summit took place less than a year after the leaders met for the first time in Singapore.
The Singapore meeting was largely seen as a starting point toward striking a deal to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula, though Trump frequently touted it as a major accomplishment. Hanoi was supposed to be different because representatives from both countries had been meeting in the months leading up to the summit in hopes that they could ink a deal after Trump and Kim sat down.
That did not happen.
"The failure to reach agreement today is the result of the lack of a real process in advance," said Laura Rosenberger, a senior fellow at The German Marshall Fund.
As late as December, Pompeo and U.S. special envoy Stephen Biegun had difficulty meeting face to face with their North Korean counterparts.
Rosenberger said in order to reach a deal later on, the two nations will need to establish a stronger negotiating channel to work through their differences.
Leading up to the summit the U.S. also emphasized that it would be patient and was in no hurry to make a deal. Trump himself said as much in his remarks after meeting Kim in Hanoi, telling reporters before he met privately with the North Korean leader that the "speed" of denuclearization wasn't an issue for him. That approach might have backfired.
"If Trump does not feel an urgency for denuclearization of North Korea, then why would Kim?" said Jung Pak, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
What North Korea is willing to give up (and what it's not)
Trump indicated that North Korea was willing to dismantle some of its nuclear facilities, but not enough to justify the complete lifting of economic sanctions.
Specifically, Trump said Kim would have ordered the destruction of Yongbyon, the country's main nuclear research center, but would not commit to dismantling other sites.
"That facility, while very big, it wasn't enough," Trump said of Yongbyon. The president suggested that if the U.S. agreed to remove economic sanctions, North Korea would have to dismantle a second uranium enrichment plant. Pompeo added that the U.S. wants North Korea to provide a list of all its nuclear facilities and missile systems and agree to a timetable for destroying them.
Trump also acknowledged that the U.S. and North Korea still have different definitions of denuclearization. The U.S. has insisted upon complete and irreversible dismantling of all nuclear capabilities, a view that apparently is at odds with North Korea's interpretation.
U.S. officials signaled they are determined to work out the differences. Jenny Town, managing editor and producer of the online policy journal 38 North called that "encouraging" but warned as negotiations drag on "there is a real risk of the momentum for this issue waning amid a growing number of competing interests."
What Kim gained and lost from the summit
Even without a deal, Kim might still spin the summit as a success, since it gave him more legitimacy on the world stage by meeting with a U.S. president for the second time in one year.
But Kim also suffered a major blow in Hanoi.
Sung-Yoon Lee, a Korean Studies professor at Tufts University, said Kim was on the verge of gaining sanctions relief, a peace agreement to formally end the Korean War, and dragging out negotiations with the U.S. while it continued its weapons development. That would have amounted to a victory, but Trump walked away from the table, Lee said.
"Kim's now learned a lesson: that Trump is not as malleable as he seems. But the situation is still under Kim's control," Lee said, adding that he expected North Korea to offer slightly more in upcoming negotiations.
The question is whether Trump would agree to a deal in the future that falls short of his stated goals.
Trump's relationship with Kim
Despite the breakdown at the summit, Trump described his relationship with Kim as "strong," "warm" and "friendly," and said the summit ended cordially.
Trump also pointed out that the rhetoric between the U.S. and North Korea had improved from a little more than a year ago. In 2017, Trump threatened North Korea with "fire and fury" and called Kim "rocket man," attacks that critics argued unnecessarily escalated tensions between the two countries. Recently, he told a crowd of supporters he and Kim "fell in love" when they began writing each other "beautiful" letters.
The change in their relationship from the last summit in Singapore was visible, especially in Kim, said the Brookings Institution's Pak.
"[Kim's] gestures were more natural, he spoke more, laughed easily with Trump, and there seemed to be more casual touching by the two men," Pak said. "They even mirrored each other's gestures."
Kim also answered American reporters' questions through an interpreter, in what is believed to be a first for a North Korean leader.
It is unclear when the leaders will meet again. Trump did not agree to another summit with Kim but did not rule out the possibility either.
"It might be soon. It might not be for a long time," he said. "I would hope it would be soon."

"Don't Waste Your Time" är en låt skriven av den amerikanska poprock sångerskan Kelly Clarkson, Fredrik Rinman, Jimmy Messer, och Malcolm Pardon. Det är den andra singeln från Clarksons tredje studioalbum, My December (2007), att släppas i Tyskland.

Singelsläpp
Den 27 juli 2007, avslöjade Sony BMG UK att "Don't Waste Your Time" var den andra singeln från My December att ges ut i Storbritannien. Clarkson själv bekräftade det i Kanada under ett framträdande i Kanadas MTV Live den 20 augusti 2007. Den 23 augusti 2007, bekräftade Mizz Magazine att "Don't Waste Your Time" skulle släppas den 10 september 2007. Det datumet blev senare uppskjutet till den 29 oktober 2007 p.g.a. att videon inte var färdig till releasedatumet.

Emirates SkyCargo takes Indian SMEs global
Emirates SkyCargo, the airfreight division of Emirates, has played a vital role as a trade facilitator for Indian businesses since 1985. As the global economy slowly recovers, the air cargo carrier continues to empower small and medium-sized enterprises in India with its extensive network, wide-body aircraft, and cool chain technologies. Recognising the importance of UN Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Emirates SkyCargo continues to support and help local businesses expand further to global markets.
As a leading centre for research and development in plant biotechnology, India is home to KF Bioplants – the country's largest plant biotech company located in Maharashtra. In partnership with ILogistics – a logistics freight company based in India – Emirates SkyCargo helps KF Bioplants transport temperature sensitive plant biotech shipments from Mumbai to global destinations. In the last two years, the air cargo carrier has exported nearly 200 tonnes of shipments for KF Bioplants to leading global destinations for floriculture and horticulture including the Netherlands, Kenya and Australia. With Emirates Fresh, an integrated cool chain solution, the air cargo carrier is able to ensure that the products developed by KF Bioplants can travel within designated temperature and humidity ranges on flights.
SME communities in India continue to be empowered by Emirates SkyCargo's unique offerings and expertise. In addition to providing advanced cool chain facilities, the air cargo carrier helps with shipment management and security, custom clearance and on-ground support. As India's economy slowly recovers, Emirates SkyCargo continues to link and support local businesses to the world.
Earlier this month, Emirates SkyCargo supported D.M. Enterprises, an export trading company in Kolkata, to transport 16 varieties of mango from Kolkata to Bahrain – a first-ever shipment of its kind from the city. The two tonne consignment consisted of mangoes sourced from local farmers in West Bengal and Bihar.
The air cargo carrier also supports Catch of Norway Seafood, a family business based out of Bengaluru and Oslo that imports and distributes salmon and other seafood to end customers across the country. From its early days of setting up business in India, Emirates SkyCargo has and continues to support the facilitation and rapid movement of fresh seafood from Oslo to Bengaluru via Dubai.

African Naturalistas: Are you a Natural Hair crowd pleaser?
Are you a Natural Hair crowd pleaser?
Happy Tuesday ladies! Going natural has indeed taken the world of Black Beauty by storm. But with the ever expanding fan base for natural hair, now is a good time to stop and really ask yourself, who did you choose to go natural for-really? Enjoy ladies!
Thats beautiful and inspiring to hear Sis,thank you for the comment and for watching!
I'm not sure about people going natural because of others, here in Nigeria. Its not like naturals have all the love over here, anyway.
But as for the length show off, time and time again, I just wish I could show the whole world how long my hair really is, so they can drown in jealousy. I mean, Irene, what's the use of having hair that reaches almost your waist, when you can't flaunt, right? Lol.
But the fear of heat is the beginning of wisdom, so I grudgingly accept the shrinkage, and hope for that one day in future, when I will be able to show everyone how long my hair really is, without having to use heat, lol.
I would lone my hair to sit comfortable on my shoulders without stretching!lol!Thank you for watching and commenting Sis.I was just try to get across that we should just let our hair do what it does without feeling that we have to prove anything to anyone.It is good to be admired but i just feel its more important to be so secure with how you feel towards your hair that you should not feel the need to keel when pressure is applied in regards to your hair and its appearance.I do however agree with what you are saying and continue to look foreward to shoulder length unstretched hair!lol!

A decadent display of history, lavish palaces and tranquil towns, this tour of the Baltics allows us to embark on an impressive journey together, taking in one highlight at a time.
Today, a walking tour of Vilnius will be the perfect way to help you get acquainted with the baroque beauty that the town has to offer. Afterwards, we'll pay a visit to the Amber Museum, where we'll learn about the formation and harvesting of Baltic amber during a workshop session. Take the chance to bond with your fellow travellers over dinner tonight.
Onwards from Vilnius, we'll make tracks to Trakai for a tasting of kibinai – a local pastry delicacy. Our next stop will be Anykšciai, where we'll take the time to walk the scenic treetop path before checking into our accommodation. Once here, the evening will be yours to enjoy.
If a morning coffee fails to awaken your senses, a morning brewery tour will do the trick. We'll travel to Birzai to sample local beers and learn of the traditions here. After lunch, we'll drive to the impressive Rundale Palace, a great example of Baroque and Rococo art, before reaching Riga tonight.
With so much to see in Latvia's capital, there is no time to waste! So, today we'll embark on a walking tour through Riga taking in the city's wooden buildings, art nouveau architecture and medieval Old Town while sampling some local delicacies along the way.

The dreamy churches, zigzag streets and ancient castles of Tallinn will be on the cards today. You'll get the chance to see it all and learn about Estonia's capital. Be sure to have those cameras ready when you see Tallinn's fairytale-like Old Town, the Town Hall and St Nicholas Church. You'll be able to take it easy this evening with a free night.
We'll bid farewell to Tallinn today and set a course for the small town of Narva, where we'll stop for lunch. Next, it'll be over the border and into Russia. On our way to St Petersburg, we'll visit Peterhof Park and Gardens. Tonight, we'll share a farewell dinner together.
On our final day together, we'll travel through St Petersburg on a guided tour and check off the lavish St Isaac's Cathedral along the way. Then, it'll be time to say goodbye to your fellow travellers.
