21 Inspirational Images Of Women Standing Up For The Right To Choose
By Nina Bahadur
On Jan. 22, 1973, the Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade that a woman's choice to have an abortion was a fundamental right under the Constitution.
In the 42 years since then, a woman's right to safe, legal abortion has been threatened again and again.
In the last year alone, "personhood" ballot initiatives in North Dakota and Colorado threatened legal abortion. The number of abortion clinics in Texas has been reduced by half, severely restricting abortion access for the state's low-income women. Anti-abortion "protestors" continue to verbally abuse and intimidate women at abortion clinics as buffer zones crumble, and so-called "pregnancy crisis centers" mislead women looking for information about termination. As their options become more and more limited, women are increasingly forced to turn to back-alley abortions.
Clearly, there is a lot of work to be done to ensure that all women have access to this fundamental right. The anniversary of Roe v. Wade is a time to look back at the activists who tirelessly fought for abortion access, and consider the obstacles ahead.
Here are 21 inspirational images of women protesting for the right to control their bodies:

Clara Barton, Founder Of The Red Cross
Clara Barton (born 1821, and died 1912) is best known for being the founder of the American Red Cross. She also played a major role in caring for soldiers during the Civil War, where she nursed wounded soldiers and helped to search for missing soldiers, creating the Bureau of Records of Missing Men of the Armies of the United States, according to the Red Cross. Barton founded the American Red Cross -- initially called the American Association of the Red Cross -- in 1881, which has gone on to be a vital player in providing disaster relief around the country. -- ALC

Benjamin Marten (c.1690–1752) was an English physician from "Theobald's Row" near Red Lyon Square, Holborn, and one of several sons of a tailor.

In 1720 he conjectured in "A New Theory of Consumptions - More Especially a Phthisis or Consumption of the Lungs", that tuberculosis may be caused by "wonderfully minute living creatures" that could lead to the lesions symptomatic of the disease, thereby expressing the theory of  contagium vivum or 'living contagion'. He went on to state that "it may be therefore very likely that by a habitual lying in the same bed with a consumptive patient, constantly eating and drinking with him, or by very frequently conversing so nearly as to draw in part of the breath he emits from the lungs, a consumption may be caught by a sound person...I imagine that slightly conversing with consumptive patients is seldom or never sufficient to catch the disease."

Marten's epidemiological insight was prescient. Although Leeuwenhoek had reported seeing bacteria in 1676, he had not believed that his "little animals" caused disease.  In 1882 Robert Koch confirmed the agent of tuberculosis. To this day its treatment remains a challenge.

Benjamin Marten probably received an MD degree from the University of Aberdeen in 1717. At that time degrees did not require formal courses or examinations and were routinely conferred after recommendation and on application, and on payment of a prescribed fee. Thus a notice appeared in "Officers and Graduates of University and King's College, Aberdeen" on 9 December 1717 stating that a Benjamin Marten had paid the requisite fee and had been issued with a diploma.

Benjamin's brothers were the surgeon John Marten and the apothecary James Marten. He also had a sister who married a certain tailor named Spooner.

Benjamin married Hannah Fisher, a spinster of St Botolph Aldersgate, on 17 November 1716.  The ceremony was recorded in the Marriage Register of St Stephen Walbrook, and stated that the groom was from St Michael Bassinshaw - the 'List of London Marriage Licences' reflects a date of 13 November 1716 for the marriage.

China Laughing on the Sidelines
Blog | November 09, 2016
Amb. Martin Fleischer
Ambassador and Vice President, Regional Security
BY AMB. MARTIN FLEISCHER, JASMIN GONG
For years, Europe has been running from one crisis into the next, the Greek financial disaster, the Ukraine conflict, the refugee inflow, the terrorist attacks, the Brexit, the rise of right-wing populism, the Italian banking trouble … the EU and European countries are in continuous trouble-shooting mode, and recent elections and referendums, some with unexpected or unwanted results, don't make it any easier.
China has been watching quietly from afar how Europe grapples with its challenges. While a German saying—used to describe an event of little significance—goes that one couldn't care less when a bag of rice falls over in China, the Chinese view on what happens in Europe does matter nowadays.
That said, the EU as a whole, i.e. as a supranational institution, has seldom been of great interest neither for the Chinese media nor for the Chinese public. For instance, in People's Daily, a mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), among 39,683 articles and commentaries between April 2015 and April 2016, less than 0.5% had to do with EU–related affairs. Paradoxically, it is thanks to the multiple European crises, especially the refugee crisis and the Brexit, that the EU has recently become a more prominent topic in the Chinese media. It is worth examining why the mostly state controlled media have an interest in doing so, and why the Europeans should care.
China, the wounded Elephant
Any attempt to understand current developments in China must take history into account. China has an elephant's memory, for instance of how the late Chinese Empire was humiliated by Western powers in the 19th century. Actually, the debate among Chinese elites, whether the western system and western democracy could serve as a model for China's development, began some 200 years ago. In the mid-19th century, a group of reform-oriented mandarins blamed China's defeats in the opium wars on the backwardness of Chinese industry and military, coupled with an encrusted political system based on traditional Confucian values. These reformers propagated a western style modernization. This cost some of them their heads. The rulers rejected the proposed westernization, as they concluded that the western system and values were unsuitable to rule this vast and diverse country. Isn't it striking that you can hear almost the same argument from Chinese leaders nowadays?
Chinese state media use the European crises as a proof for the flaws of the western system and western democracy
From the tens of thousands of articles we screened and analyzed, I want to share with you just a couple of quotes. Here are some (translated from Chinese by the author) which speak for themselves:
"The so-called 'universal values' promoted by the West have brought disaster to the Middle East and caused the refugee crisis." – Zhang Weiwei, Dean of China Academy, Fudan University", CCP magazine "Qiu Shi (Search for the Truth)" 02/15/2016
"The refugee crisis is the result of a self-righteous democracy idea" - Wu Sike, China's former special envoy on mid-east, People's Daily, 10/07/2015
In addition to making the Europeans responsible for their crises, some commentators have identified the United States as the main culprit behind the scenes:
"This refugee crisis was triggered by the United States, who provoked the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, ... the United States are the culprit, Europe is siding with the bully." – Chen Shuguang, Professor from Wuhan University, CCP magazine "Qiu Shi" (Search for the Truth), 12/15/2015
The Brexit, in particular, offers an ideal case to argue for the falsehood of democratic elections and referendums:
"The defects of making a national-level decision with an arbitrary referendum are obvious……it was 'tyranny of the majority' " Xinhua News, 06/26/2016
"The key to understanding England's current disorder is that its 'Western democracy' is only a façade, and that the real decisions are taken in the backroom by powerful economic groups." Luo Siyi, Renmin University, Global Times, 07/04/2016
The reasons for launching such opinions in Chinese media are manifold. The Chinese government has learned to be more aware of public opinion, and bad news from abroad are a fine distraction from internal problems, and apt to fuel patriotic emotions. But that is only one side of the coin. We also need to take a closer look at China's regional and global ambitions.
China's Going Out Strategy: Occupy the periphery to encircle the center
While Europe is busy with managing various crises, China is buying up the world. In 2015, President Xi Jinping announced an investment of $250 billion USD in Latin American and Caribbean countries over the next 10 years, and a 60 billion USD investment in Africa over the next three years. At the same time, ASEAN-China trade volume increased from eight billion USD in 1991 to 472.2 billion USD in 2015. That's by nearly 60 times within 25 years. China's annual investments in the EU are over 20 billion euros, whereas the annual investments from the EU in China are only 10 billion euros. Beijing prefers to talk to London, Paris and Berlin directly rather than via the EU. Despite concerns from the United States, 14 EU member states became founding members of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), Germany alone injected 4.5 billion USD into the AIIB.
China also established new platforms with selected groups of EU member states, such as the "16+1 cooperation" of China and 16 Central and Eastern European countries, while a wide range of cooperation agreements in energy, infrastructure, trade and tourism, etc. was concluded in this format. China is also reaching out to northern and southern Europe to establish similar platforms. While Europe does need Chinese investment in the wake of the various financial crises and a stagnating Euro-zone economic growth, not everybody is amused about this piecemeal approach. Is China pursuing a strategy of "divide & conquer" towards European countries?
China's most ambitious and far-reaching "One Belt, One Road" project which aims at developing infrastructures and trade in ASEAN countries, Central Asia and Europe has also triggered concerns. Actually, China's investments are moving on, from Asia and Africa gradually towards Latin America, the U.S. and Europe.
Those who know the game of Go, or"The Art of War" by Sun Tzu—Mao Zedong was a great fan of both—may recognize some familiar strategic moves, such as "Occupy the periphery to encircle the center".
While China's proactive overseas investment strategy is evident, a parallel paradigm shift in China's foreign and security policy remains less noticed. China has moved from its long time non-interference policy towards actively engaging in e.g. the peace process in Afghanistan and—albeit indirectly—even the Syria conflict. China is now the second-largest contributor to the United Nations peacekeeping budget, right behind the United States. This lays the ground for China having a substantial say on where the UN will engage and where not. By the way, if you added up contributions of EU member states to the UN budget, the EU would stand as the biggest contributor and could exert a dominant influence—if only member states got their acts together to speak with one voice.
Is China the biggest winner of Brexit?
China sees the European crises as a good chance to buy up strategic assets in Europe and reach better deals as the EU member states are competing against each other. Look at the recent takeover of the German robotics firm Kuka by the Chinese company Midea, or the construction of the nuclear power station Hinkley Point C in England.
In a nutshell: On the domestic front, the European crises and the "snapshot" referendums have given the Chinese leadership welcome proofs for discrediting the western system and western democracy. And in the international arena, a weakened Europe already helps China to play a more important role economically; it is foreseeable that a divided Europe will be even more dependent on China. In the medium term, China will also have a better position for negotiating tricky issues like lifting the EU arms embargo, having China's market economy status recognized, and in the long term even for promoting the Chinese view of global issues, such as sovereignty and human rights. Is it fair to say, as blogger and economist Dr. Li Xiaopeng put it, that "China is the biggest winner of Brexit"?

Collective Bias
A Journey to Thin
Real Life. True Love. Being Mommy. Chasing Dreams.
This weekend hasn't been my best, but I'm not letting it derail me. I had an episode with cookies, but every. single. point. has been counted.
We have gone out to eat twice this weekend. Both times, I made modifications so that my meal would be less points. But still, we all know that restaurant food is loaded with sodium and who knows what else.
Actually, I do know, because last night we went out for Japanese with my brother and we watched the chef POUR on the salt and use mounds of butter. Ugh. It sickened me. And as expected, I woke up in the night feeling sick and miserable. My body is not used to that kind of food anymore.
This has been hubby and my favorite restaurant for some time. We don't go there often because it's pricey, but usually to celebrate a special occasion. Now, it just sickens me to think about it. I told him I don't really want to eat there anymore. Hubby and I both agreed that in the future, we'll just go for the salad, miso soup, and sushi. Who needs hibachi, really?
But here's what I'm doing right.
I woke up early this morning, despite feeling bloated and miserable, and geared up and went running outside. It's in the 30s! Yes, I'm proud of myself too. And then I came home and did a 20 minute strength workout. After lunch, I headed out again. I walked 1.5 miles.
I am drinking water like it's going out of style because it's the only thing that makes me feel better and I know my body desperately needs it.
I am dangerously low on weekly points ALREADY. Which scares me because they don't reset until Thursday and we're leaving on vacation on Tuesday. That's why I'm going to try to increase my workouts. It's likely I may have to eat some of my activity points this week, and I want to make sure I earn as many as possible.
So there ya have it! A little stumble in my path but I refuse to let it get me down! I'll just make modifications to make up for it.
Hope your weekend is going well!
Sarah November 18, 2012 at 3:11 PM
You have the right attitude. Just get back on on track! That alone should make you feel better.
That's the way to do it!! It's all about balance :). You have a slip up with food and over indulge a bit? It's not a big deal, just step up the exercise. Make up for it.
Oh, and about the bloating and gut bomb? Try a green smoothie. It works for me EVERYTIME!

Sweets are definitely a stumbling block for me, ESPECIALLY if I'm *making* that dessert. I love uncooked batters, and then of course you "have" to test the produce once it's done, right? LOL Ugh. Way to go for counting it and moving on. Sorry it sucked away a lot of the points. You are very good at earning APs. You will be fine.

Form 2553: Everything You Need to Know
Form 2553 is an IRS form. It must be filed when an eligible entity wishes to elect "S" corporation status under the Internal Revenue Code. (See, IRC Section 1362(a)) 3 min read
Form 2553: What is it?
Form 2553 is an IRS form. It must be filed when an eligible entity wishes to elect "S" corporation status under the Internal Revenue Code. (See, IRC Section 1362(a))
Why is Form 2553 Important?
Electing to have a particular entity treated as an "S" corporation by the IRS for taxation purposes (also known as, making an "S" election) can, depending on various factors, provide a tax savings for the owners of the entity. By allowing for "flow-through" taxation and thereby avoiding the double taxation typically affecting "C" corporations, "S" corporations can, in many cases, be the preferable option (assuming the entity is eligible to make such an election).
Under "S" corporation status, the entity's income, losses, deductions, and credits "flow through" to the individual shareholders (e.g. owners) and are reported on their personal tax returns, assessed at each shareholder's individual income tax rate.
On the other hand, double taxation refers to the two levels of taxation that may occur with a "C" tax election, whereas: 1) the entity itself is taxed on income at the corporate level, and 2) dividends paid out to shareholders are taxed a second time at the individual level. This may sometimes amount to a higher overall tax being levied.
Criteria for Eligibility to Elect "S" Corporation Status:
(All criteria must be met for eligibility)
Domestic corporation
All shareholders must meet certain shareholder requirements defined by the IRS (See, IRC Section 1361)
Less than 100 shareholders
Only one class of stock
Not an ineligible corporation (See, IRC Section 1361)
Advantages of "S" Corporation Status:
Generally speaking, an entity considered to be an "S" corporation for taxation purposes has the benefit** of providing the liability shield attributable to corporations and certain other limited liability entities, thereby protecting its shareholders from losses beyond their capital investments, while still providing its owners with the flow-through taxation. (** Comparatively, the amount of tax benefit, if any, varies on case-by-case-basis)
Disadvantages of "S" Corporation Status:
Imposes a limitation barring more advanced capital structures. For example, the corporation may not issue different classes of stock—only common stock.
Imposes a restriction on who can own shares in the corporation. For example, the corporation may not have non-US Citizens or non-resident aliens as shareholders. Also restricts shares from being held by a partnership, non-qualified trust, "C" corporation, a non-QSUB "S" corporation, or a foreign trust.
Imposes an ongoing eligibility requirement that may be easily broken if not looked after properly. For example, if an "S" corporation, by act or omission, fails to meet even one of the criteria for eligibility, the "S" status can be lost instantly, potentially causing unexpected harm and/or losses for the company and possibly its shareholders.
Steps to File:
Fill out Form 2553.
Form 2553 Instructions
File Form 2553 within 75 days of the date of incorporation/organization for newly formed entities. Otherwise, to make an "S" election thereafter, Form 2553 should be filed at any time during the tax year preceding the tax year it is to take effect, or no more than two months and fifteen days after the beginning of the tax year in which it is to take effect.
Consult with a Business Attorney
There are many factors that should be considered prior to selecting the type of entity, or selecting the appropriate tax election status for the entity. There are no one-size-fits-all solutions to these questions. It is highly recommended that each business consult with its own competent business attorney prior to making these types of important decisions.

Saltburn pier
Saltburn Pier located in Saltburn-by-the-Sea is the last pier remaining in Yorkshire. Construction started in 1867 and the 1,500 feet (460 m) pier opened in May 1869, with a steamer landing stage at the head of the pier and two circular kiosks at the entrance. Access to the pier was difficult from the town via the steep cliff so a wooden Cliff Hoist was constructed in 1870 that allowed 20 people to be placed in a wooden cage and then lowered by rope to beach level.

Event Title: The Standing Committee on Interior
The Standing Committee on Interior, in a meeting today on Monday, 23rd September, 2019 strongly condemned the IED explosion on Pak-Afghan border in which Major Adeel Shahid, and Sepoy Faraz Hussain, embraced martyrdom. The Committee paid rich tribute to Shuhdaas of Pakistan Army and offered Fateha for their departed souls. The Committee also expressed grief over the death of 30 passengers in roadside bus accident at Babusar Pass, Diamer district of Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) and offered Fateha for the departed souls. The meeting was held under the Chairmanship of Senator A. Rehman Malik and was attended by Senators Muhammad Javed Abbasi, Rana Maqbool Ahmed, Dr. Shehzad Waseem, Kalsoom Parveen, Sardar Muhammad Shafiq Tareen, Momin Khan Afridi as Members of the Committee and Senator Aurangzeb Khan as Special Invitee. The meeting was also attended by Special Secretary Ministry of Interior, I.G. and A.I.G. Police Punjab, I.G. Prisons, Punjab, I.G. Police, Islamabad, Chairman Safe City Project Islamabad, Chairman NADRA, Deputy Commissioner, Islamabad and other officials.
In his opening remarks, Chairman Senate Standing Committee on Interior, Senator A. Rehman Malik said that the Committee strongly condemns IED explosion on Pak-Afghan border and expresses heartfelt condolences with the bereaved family of the martyrs and pays rich tribute to the martyrs of Armed Forces of Pakistan and all law enforcement agencies. He said that Pakistan is fencing the border to control cross-border movement of terrorists while Indian trained terrorists are attacking our Forces to sabotage the process of fencing on the border. He asked the government of Afghanistan to control cross-border attacks from its soil against Pakistan. He said that our Armed Forces rendered unmatched sacrifices to restore peace but the terrorists wanted to derail in the region. He said that those who laid down their lives for our motherland are the heroes of our nation, as nation salutes their sacrifices. He said that every Pakistani stand shoulder to shoulder with our
Armed Forces in fighting against enemies of the country.
Senator A. Rehman Malik said that he was shocked to see US President Donal Trump standing with Indian PM Narendra Modi on 22nd September in Houston at "Howdy Modi". He said that he was expecting the US President will be condemning the 50 days long curfew and unprecedented brutalities and worst kind of human rights violations by Modi government in Indian Occupied Kashmir but sadly he spoke not a single word for Kashmir. He said that earlier he had appealed to US President Donald Trump not to give joint appearance with PM Modi unless he orders to lift the curfew, stops brutalities and withdrawing Indian troops from Kashmir. He said that the joint appearance have hurt the sentiments of Kashmiris who have been caged in Kashmir for the last 50 days with lack of food and medicines. He added that PM Modi was among top 10 terrorists of the world and he was prohibited from visiting USA for a decade under the International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA) provision of US Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) for his role in killings of Muslims of Gujrat. He stressed that PM Modi should have been under sanctions rather than being rubbing shoulders with President Donald Trump in "Howdy-Modi" event.
The Committee considered the suo-moto notice taken by Chairman Senate Standing Committee on Interior regarding "Custodial Death of Salah-ud-Din on 30th August, 2019". The Committee was briefed by Inspector General of Police, Punjab in detail about the death of Salah-ud-din. The Inspector General Police told the Committee that he and his Institution was equally aggrieved over the death of Salah-ud-din in Police Station. He told that Salahuddin was arrested by police in Rahim Yar Khan on Aug 30 on the complaint of a bank allegedly caught stealing money from an ATM and unfortunately he died during custody on Aug 31. He said that on the complaint of Salahuddin`s father FIR was lodged against SHO and investigation officers and other policemen who were on duty, under sections 302 (punishment for murder) and 34 (common intention) of the Pakistan Penal Code.. He added that immediately the DPO Rahim Yar Khan was transferred and concerned SP was suspended. The IG Police Punjab informed the Committee that the father of Salah-ud-din was not satisfied with the postmortem report so the autopsy on the body of Salahuddin, was re-conducted after exhumation on Saturday. He assured the Committee that justice will be done in the case and requested that the sincerity of police in pursuing the case may not be doubted.
Senator A. Rehman Malik said that the Article 14 of the Constitution of Pakistan deals with the inviolability of dignity of citizens, arrested or detained by the police. He said that no person shall be subjected to torture for the purpose of extracting evidence but sadly custodial torture and killings have become a norm in Police. He said that although the Constitution of Pakistan does provide protection of every kind but it never defined any punishment to those police officials involved in torture. He said that it is need of hour that another law defining stringent punishment should be made and implemented against torture and custodial killings in the constitution. He said that he has prepared 26 points proposals which he will be sharing with Ministry of Interior, Law Division and I.G. Police of four provinces seeking their recommendations for framing the said law. He said that Senator Farhatullah Babar and Senator Farooq H. Naek has already got a Bill "The Torture, Custodial Death and Custodial Rape (Prevention and Punishment), Act, 2015" passed by the Senate but unfortunately the Bills could not passed by the National Assembly in the given 90 days. He directed the I.G.Police Punjab to give standing instructions to all SHOs strictly directing them to refrain from all kind of torture in Police Stations. He said we have to create citizen friendly environment in our Police Station and to bring an end to this practice of torture for the purpose of extracting evidence and recovery.
Taking the matter of rape and killing of children in Kasur, Senator A. Rehman Malik directed I.G. Police Punjab that people across the country are very concerned about the rapid increase in the kidnapping, raping and killing of minors in Kasur. He said that it is another serious challenge for Punjab Police and he hopes that Police will unearth the gang behind this heinous crime. He directed that the Committee will be taking briefing on this issue in the next meeting.
The Committee was briefed by I.G. Police, Islamabad, about the prevailing law and order situation in Islamabad and about the performance and achievements of Islamabad Police. The Committee paid rich tribute to the martyrs of Islamabad Police and all provincial police of the country. The I.G. Police told the Committee that Islamabad Police was facing shortage of policemen and the appointments were halted since, 2004, however, most recently the Prime Minister has sanctioned appointment of 1280 personnels for which test and interviews have been conducted and soon the new recruitees will be sent to training. He said that the new additions will certainly enhance the further capability of Islamabad police as with shortage it was difficult for us to cope with the increased challenged to Police. He said that he was proud to announce before the Committee that Islamabad as earlier declared no-safe city for families by United Nations now is declared as safe city for families which is indeed an achievement by Islamabad Police. He said that the compensation allowance for the martyrs of Islamabad Police was raised from 20 lac rupees to 2 cror rupees, bringing it at par with the provincial police.
The Chairman Committee, Senator A. Rehman Malik while appreciating the performance of Islamabad Police said that there is always a room for improvement as he has been receiving complaints from the residence of few sectors regarding robberies, burglaries, car lifting and street crimes. He directed that the patrolling in the vulnerable areas shall be increased to control over such crimes. The I.G. Police informed that in this year there is 21 percent decrease in overall crimes in Islamabad as compared to previous years and there is not a single case of death in custody in Islamabad Police history. He said that Islamabad Police is being assisted by 420 ranger personnels and there are 22 Police check Posts at different entry points playing a big role in preventing the crimes. He said that there were 246 cases of robberies registered in which Police could recover 66 cror rupees and more than 100 snatched cars. Senator A. Rehman Malik directed Ministry of Interior that the all police particularly the Islamabad Police should be equipped with all modern facilities both in field and training centres to cope up with the modern challenges. He directed PTA and Ministry of Information technology to extend its full technical support to Islamabad Police in countering cyber related crimes and updating their systems.
The Committee considered and expressed annoyance over the alleged incident of sexual assault of a prisoner and negligence shown by jail officials in Central Jail Adiala Rawalpindi. Chairman Senate Standing Committee on Interior Senator A. Rehman Malik had taken the suo-moto notice of the alleged incident. The I.G. Prison Punjab briefed the Committee about the alleged incident and said that he had taken the notice of the incident soon he received the information through his whats app and immediately directed DIG Prison Rawalpindi to look into the matter. The DIG Prison told the Committee that the alleged sexually-assaulted prisoner is 21 year old and is arrested alongwith his father and the father had sent him to another barrack willingly which is against the jail manual. He said during his investigation, the alleged sexually-assaulted prisoner alleged another inmate for sexually assaulting him but the medial team duly sent by magistrate did not find any evidence of rape. The DIG Prison told the Committee that a total of 11 officials from Central Jail Adiala have been suspended for their negligence as was identified by not stopping the prisoner shifting to another barrack in the Jail.
The Committee expressed its dissatisfaction over the briefing and directed that the matter should be investigated further thoroughly and a detail report be presented in the next meeting of the committee alongwith presence of DPO, Rawalpindi as Police is carrying out the investigation on the orders of Additional District and Sessions. The Chairman Committee, Senator A.

Everyone loves traveling, but a lot of people often wonder what are some of the most popular travel destinations in the world? This is hard to answer, but we will go over some of the top destinations and you can decide whether or not to book a trip to any of them.
Bali, located in Indonesia is a must-visit for those who are a fan of tropical weather, sunshine and beaches. There are no shortages of beaches and white sand in Bali, but there is so much more people can do besides laying around the gorgeous beaches. They can go snorkeling and explore the coral reefs as well as the shipwrecks.
There's also the sacred monkey forest. If tourists want to get the chance to spot various animals, then head do the Bali Safari and Marine Park. Whether it's surfing, lounging in the sun, exploring forests, viewing exotic animals or just going for nice long walks, people can do it all in Bali.
London, UK, has always been a top destination and has always been compared to New York City in many ways. For starters, the city is massive, both in land and population. This is one of the reasons it's comparable to NYC.
Tourists can browse world-famous museums, pay a visit to Buckingham Palace or go shopping at Camden Market. Let's not forget to mention Abbey Road and Baker Street. London has so much to offer, especially when it comes to fashion, art, music and dining. As for the best time of year to go, it doesn't matter but it's a good idea to book flights months in advanced because it's usually cheaper to do that.
It's no secret why Rome, Italy, is a popular destination because the city has something for everyone. For beach lovers, the best time to go is in the summer. The beaches can get busy, but finding a spot on the sand shouldn't be difficult.
For everyone else, Rome is a shopper's paradise, a food lover's dream and an artwork lover's paradise. However, Rome is the place to be for those who are a fan of history because very few places on earth has the history that Rome has.
Finally, there is New York City, which is the busiest city in America and the world. Millions of people flock to the city year after year because it has everything. It's wise to spend at least a week or two in the city because this will give travelers a bit of time to explore Manhattan and the other boroughs, but even that won't be enough time to see all that the city has to offer. It has everything from world-class shops to five-star restaurants to unique attractions to amazing parks and so much more.
When it comes to top travel destinations, it doesn't get any better than NYC and Rome. Bali and London are also popular destinations. If anyone is looking for a great place to visit, then any of those should do.

All you need to know about Nipah virus
Nipah outbreak has created havoc in Kerala. The State Healthcare department is taking all measures to contain the virus which has officially taken lives of four people till now. The Central Government has also sent a team to take stock of the situation and assured all support to the State Government.
Very few of us have the idea about this mysterious virus. To prevent ourselves from worst situation, we should have all the details about this virus i.e how it spreads, what are the symptoms, how to protect ourselves etc.
Here is a brief explainer on it:
What is Nipah Virus (NiV)?
According to World Health Organisation, Nipah virus (NiV) infection is a newly emerging zoonosis that causes severe disease in both animals and humans. The natural host of the virus is fruit bats of the Pteropodidae Family.
It was initially isolated and identified in 1999 during an outbreak of encephalitis and respiratory illness among pig farmers and people with close contact with pigs in Malaysia and Singapore.
Its name originated from Sungai Nipah, a village in the Malaysian Peninsula where pig farmers became ill with encephalitis.
How does it spread?
The virus is transmitted through infected bats and pigs. It also spreads from humans who already have Nipah virus infection.
People who are working with pigs and consuming pigs are at high risk. In 2004, humans became infected with NiV as a result of consuming date palm sap that had been contaminated by infected fruit bats.
What are its symptoms?
The Initial symptoms are headache, fever muscle pain, nausea and vomiting. Neck rigidity and photophobia are also seen in people infected with the virus.
If such patients are not attended well, these symptoms can even cause a coma in a span of 24-48 hours. The symptoms last for 7-10 days.
How is it diagnosed and treated?
National institute of Virology, Pune adopts ELISA method to confirm the infection.
There is no vaccine available for either humans or animals till now. The primary treatment for human cases is intensive supportive care.
What precautions one should take?
One should avoid direct contact with infected pigs, bats and humans.
Personal hygiene should be maintained. Intensive hand washing practices should be practiced. One should also avoid consuming date palm and raw fruits for some time.
Health professionals who are attending infected persons should wear masks and gloves.

The EAST OHIO Volleyball Club has been teaching volleyball since 1992.
The goals of EOVC are to provide over 100 hours of skill development, team strategy, and tournament experience to each player in our club. We want to be able to send our players back to their high school teams as one of the best players to their school. We will not put any unreasonable demands on players when conflicts occur with EOVC and another seasonal high school sport. We also will not demand any player to choose between family or religious occasions and EOVC practices/tournaments. The EOVC philosophy is "FAMILY, SCHOOL, and then ATHLETICS."
We will continue to practice until May 2019. Playing on a Jr. Club Team will not affect a high school player's eligibility as long as all of the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) regulations are followed. Jr. Club Teams have their own insurance. They are regulated by USA Volleyball, the national governing body for volleyball in the United States.
The The cost for joining the EAST OHIO Volleyball Club is $550. This includes insurance, gym rental, equipment, uniforms, and tournament fees. Players are responsible for their own personal equipment such as: kneepads, and volleyball shoes. This year, players will be responsible for registering with the Ohio Valley Region and paying a registration fee with the OVR. Players will not be allowed to practice until all forms are turned in. A $100 "Commit to Play" deposit will guarantee your spot on your team. This will be due after you are offered a position to participate on one of our teams. The remainder will be due by your team's first tournament. NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN.
Bart Gensburg is the founder, director, and head coach/instructor of EOVC. Bart is a USAV CAP Level III coach. He has been a Jr. High coach at Newton Falls; a High School coach at Leetonia, Ursuline, and Champion; and a College coach at Kent State Trumbull and assistant at Mount Union College. Bart also officiates in Northeast Ohio, and is currently the President of the Trumbull County Volleyball Officials Association.
There is an inherent risk of minor or major injuries from participation in volleyball. Every individual is responsible for prudent judgment, exercising caution, and good sportsmanship at every practice and tournament. The most common injuries that happen in volleyball occur to ankles, shoulders, fingers, and knees. This is not an exclusive list of injuries because almost any injury could take place at any time.

A prepaid Visa card from AccountNow is an alternative to a traditional checking account. By keeping your funds on a prepaid debit card, you expose yourself to less risk than carrying cash everywhere and you save hundreds of dollars per year on check cashing fees.
AccountNow prepaid Visa cards are issued by MetaBankTM under a license from Visa, and they are accepted anywhere that takes Visa debit cards. If you are unable to obtain a checking account due to information on your ChexSystems report or for any other reason, or if you simply do not wish to deal with a traditional banking institution, an AccountNow prepaid Visa card is a viable alternative.
Below are some of the benefits of using a prepaid Visa debit card from AccountNow (www.AccountNow.com).
Prepaid Visa cards are direct deposit enabled. Your employer or benefits provider can set your funds to be deposited directly onto your card.
You can add cash to your card at many convenient locations, including Western Union, Money Gram, and Green Dot.

AccountNow prepaid Visa debit cards are compatible with PayPal.
When you load cash onto your card using any of the above methods, your money is available immediately.
You can use your AccountNow card to send money to anyone.
Workers who lack checking accounts throw away part of their hard-earned paycheck every week because they get it cashed at one of those check cashing shops on the corner. These businesses are notorious for preying on workers, particularly those of limited means, by charging them higher fees than necessary for simple services.
Many people continue to do business with these places because they are under the impression that without a checking account, there is no way to sign up for direct deposit with their employer and thus avoid check cashing fees. The AccountNow prepaid Visa debit card was created to fill this void, and it has saved its customers who previously availed themselves of check cashing joints hundreds.
Signing up for an AccountNow prepaid Visa debit card and activating it at AccountNow.com is very simple. Just follow the steps below.
Fill out the one-page form on AccountNow's sign up page. Once your ID is verified, you will receive an instant approval. The approval rate for applicants with valid IDs is 100 percent. No credit check is required.
When your card arrives in the mail, go to the activation page on AccountNow's site and enter your card number.
Next, simply retype your card number for verification purposes and hit "submit". Once you do this, your card will be active and ready to use.
Once your card is active, you can start experiencing all the ways in which having a debit card makes your life easier. For example, you can load money on it and use your card to make purchases online, which of course cannot be done using cash. You also can sign up to have your paycheck directly deposited onto your card, at which point the funds will be available instantly. This works whether your income is derived from wages, a retirement account, or government benefits. Finally, if you have any cash lying around that has accumulated due to a lack of a place to deposit it, such as a checking account, now you can put it on your card and keep it safe from theft or fire.
A prepaid debit card is a viable alternative for those who are unable or who do not wish to obtain a checking account. AccountNow makes it easy to apply online and be approved for one that works anywhere Visa is accepted.

ReviewsReview: Pinkman+

Review: Pinkman+
By Daniel Waite
I love when a game is so simple in concept that you can pick it up instantly with no tutorial. The platform genre leans this way with its easy-to-understand controls and straightforward mechanics. When I was offered Pinkman+ I happily accepted. Its retro look and basic story instantly appealed to me. I also suspected that it would be a quick causal title to add to my library.
Developed by Green Dinosaur Games and published by Ratalaika Games, this fast-paced adventure platform title asks you to move a pink-skinned male from point A to point B. In doing so he must avoid many traps, activate switches and stay alive. This is easier said than done as much of the action takes; a steady hand, patience, and a bit of luck.
Pinkman+ simple by name, simple by premise.
Pinkman+ asks you to traverse 100 handcrafted levels in a world know as "The Mind". Each stage is brilliantly designed, thwart with danger, and deceptively difficult. The early levels contradict that last statement, as it starts off very easily. No additional mechanics are added, and you move from one ledge to another. Extra elements are chucked in the pot that you must remember and overcome. The pink male has a jetpack with limited fuel, this enables him to hover and clear large gaps. He also has the power to wall jump, this complements his flying ability, and the two are often combined to progress through the levels. There are no shocks, but you will need an essence of planning and precision to get through the more difficult later stages.
Rocket Man!
Once you understand how to move around each level, you are then introduced to many traps, 20 all told. These vary from; spikes, missiles, lasers, moving platforms, circular saws, electrical blocks, treadmills and more. These obstacles intertwine with one another and make your route arduous and complex. The difficulty really ramps up, and you'll take deep breaths to stay calm.
No additional lives mean that death is a real problem in Pinkman+. Luckily, checkpoints are scattered around each stage. These allow you to start your attempt from that location when you die. To complicate things further, you cannot unlock the exit gate unless you activate the button. The path to this is usually lined with spikes and lies beyond a vast chasm. Running the gauntlet of traps was bad on the first occasion, but having to do it for a second time will push you over the edge when you brush against a spiked wall.
It's enjoyable and contains some challenge, but it's nothing new!
The well designed levels, interesting combination of threats, and simplicity of movement were interesting and worked well. But it failed to deliver anything new to the genre. It's fast-paced nature added some pressure, as did the speedrun clock that always acknowledged how quickly you worked through the issues you faced. Yet there wasn't anything in the gameplay that I couldn't find in another platform title.
One pink man and so many traps.
I enjoyed that there was a lack of "traditional" enemies. Odd aliens weren't wandering around this bizarre landscape. The threats all came from technology and projectiles. These weapons followed a set route and were predictable, but that didn't make them any easier to avoid. They're deadly and will end your run in the blink of an eye. These were the only element that required you to use the world around you to avoid them. This forced you into planning your approach and added a much needed tactical element to this fast-paced title.
Pinkman+ is tough on the eyes.
I've played some games that are vivid, bright and scream look at me, but nothing like Pinkman+. This garish and horrifically bright game will burn your retinas with its intensity. Neon colours fill your room as each level is awash with an 80s style colour scheme. 16 different combinations have been created, and upon death the world will flash to a new selection. It's shocking, unexpected, but it works fantastically well. If you then look at the basic and uncomplicated art style, this is a game that doesn't overdo its presentation. The developers were happy to allow the gameplay to take the lead role. Every other element sat back and acted as the supporting cast.
To continue on with the 80s vibe, Green Dinosaur Games utilised a Synthwave soundtrack. This added a computerised futuristic feel to the story. This unnatural and upbeat audio worked well with the otherwise silent gameplay. It added an element of excitement and demanded that you approached each level in a more aggressive and faster way. It was a really clever use of dated music that matched the theme perfectly.
Boulders and spikes, what a deadly mix.
Simplicity makes this work.
The platform genre ticks so many boxes for gamers because of its colourful worlds, but also its accessibility. No matter your skill level, you will pick up a controller and make it through the game with some practise. That is how this is set up, there is no complex controller layout and there is no tutorial, yet you get into the action very quickly. The only thing that will hold you back is your own timing, and ability to remain calm on the harder stages.
With 100 levels to explore, and new gameplay mechanics being added regularly, the game reinvents itself constantly. If you then add in the variety in stage design, and the speedrun counter, there is a fair bit of replay value to be found. If you are an achievement hunter, this one won't take long to hit the 100% mark, maybe an hour tops. But if you wish to see all the levels, you will need around 4 to 5 hours, at £4 this proves great value for money.
Being a pink dude is a retro-futuristic dream.
I knew that I'd enjoy Pinkman+, I just didn't realise how much. The ease of the opening stages builds up your confidence until you power through the levels. Once you get into the flow, you won't want to put it down! You take each new trap in your stride, and restart the game upon death, knowing that victory is just around the corner. If you want a casual and unusual platform game, buy it here! Can you journey deep into "The Mind", overcoming each trap, and making it to safety? If anyone can do it, the pink man can do it!
Pinkman+ is a retro platform adventure game that has a simple concept, but is deceptively difficult. 100 handcrafted levels, and 20 different traps await. You must jump, fly and dodge the many obstacles you encounter. A game that keeps things simple, and excels because of it. Addictive gameplay, and a good title for achievement hunters.
+ Vivid colours.
+ Retro graphics.
+ Excellent audio.
+ Simple to control.
+ Great value for money.
- The later stages will be too challenging for lower skilled players.

The company has cautioned that prior growth rates are going to be hard to top moving forward. Should investors be worried about a slowdown?
Facebook's (NASDAQ:FB) 52% year-over-year revenue growth last quarter topped analysts' expectations and drove the share price up by about 10%.
But deepeinside the company's comments on the quarter were words of caution from CFO David Wehner: The growth it's seen over the past year or so has been so strong that it's going to be tough to match moving forward.
Remarks about tough comparables could be signaling a slowdown, but there are a few things to keep in mind as we approach the next quarterly report, due July 27.
Since it went public in 2012, Facebook's growth has been atypical. Usually, a tech company like Facebook will come on the market at a time of peak growth -- and frothy interest in owning a piece of it -- and investors will see a gradual decline to levels that are more sustainable over the long term.
Consider Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL). Back when it went public in the latter half of 2004, the search giant then known as Google was generating better than 90% annual revenue growth. Within about two years, that growth had halved, and after two more, it had halved again. Last quarter, Alphabet posted growth of 17%.
GOOG Revenue (Quarterly YOY Growth) data by YCharts.
We've seen a similar storyline for Twitter (NYSE:TWTR), which was better than doubling annual revenue when it had its IPO in 2013. The most recent quarter's growth came in at 36% better than last year's, and analysts are expecting slower growth through the rest of 2016.
Facebook, on the other hand, hit the market at a time when its growth had been slowing, tempering expectations. But it was also just beginning its efforts to build a powerful mobile platform for users and advertisers.
The two surges in revenue we've seen since then are the product of ongoing investment in mobile and, more recently, video.
FB Revenue (Quarterly YOY Growth) data by YCharts.
Facebook has continued to build out a mobile platform that its users want to spend time on. The average Facebook user spends more than 50 minutes on Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger every single day. That's up from 40 minutes two years ago. And while its monthly mobile users have grown by 50% in two years, the number of users who access the apps only from mobile devices has just about tripled in that time.
It's also been building out a better platform for advertisers, one that has market-leading targeting capabilities, as well as increasingly important measurement abilities to demonstrate to advertisers that they're getting a strong return on their investment.
Last quarter, mobile advertising continued to roar ahead, up some 76% over the prior year and now generating more than four of every five dollars Facebook counts from the register.
Its ongoing investment in mobile -- and mobile video -- should continue to pay off, and Facebook should continue taking share in the mobile ad market.
This is not the first time Facebook has issued words of caution about its growth slowing. In fact, it was just a year ago that Wehner sounded a very similar alarm. Facebook had just recorded revenue growth of 39%, and the CFO warned about the possibility of "modestly" declining growth ahead.
What's happened since? Year-over-year revenue growth rose to 41%, and then to 52%, where it's hovered for two consecutive quarters.
It makes sense for Facebook to be conservative when looking ahead. Digital advertising is an industry always ripe for disruption. And with new entrants like Snapchat and Pinterest drawing attention from advertisers, and digital ad leader Alphabet continuing to makes strides in areas like ad targeting and measurement, the possibility remains that Facebook may see ad dollars drift away, at least temporarily.
It's true that Facebook has a tough number to beat from the second quarter of 2015, when revenue growth rang in at 39%. But it should be clear by now that Facebook is guiding conservatively at a time when the company is firing on all cylinders. Wehner's cautious warning of tougher comparables should not be taken as a sure sign that growth is headed south, but an acknowledgement that tough comparables and a fast-changing ad landscape raise the odds of a disappointing quarter.
More important for long-term investors: The factors driving Facebook's recent success remain firmly in place.


APS Pallethandel BV Rotterdam (The Netherlands) is a company with its roots in the transport sector. In the years before the second world war, grandfather en father Spelman were already involved in transporting all kinds of cargo, at that time without using pallets. Transported goods were placed in the car by hand, making it a labour-intensive process.
In the fifties they began to use wooden boards to store and transfer different goods. This saved hours of work and lead to the idea of starting a company specialised in trading pallets.
APS Pallethandel BV can rapidly deliver any type of pallet, new, recycled, wood, plastic, etc.
We also deliver quickly Heat Treatment pallets according to the ISPM no. 15 norm, including certificates.
All kinds of pallets like euro pallets, block pallets, wooden pallets, CP pallets, harbour pallets, storage pallets, collars, plastic pallets, gitterboxes, and so on, are available, if necessary, on the day of ordering.
Customer service is our main concern, we check all our pallets carefully and repair them if necessary.We deliver through all of The Netherlands, Belgium,Germany and the UK. We can pick up your redundant pallets, both intact and damaged ones, for which we will offer you a fair price.


Over the next two weeks, we will be having four Brown-Bag Lunches (BBLs) on a wealth of topics. Learn about some exciting work going on with VOTO Mobile and the Global Network Initiative. Contribute towards further discussions about open government with Global Integrity and the Open Government Partnership's Independent Reporting Mechanism (IRM) team. Join a round-table discussion on women in technology, politics, and political engagement.

Equality Florida had a spectacular time at Miami Beach Gay Pride this weekend! The event started off with two informational volunteer orientations on Thursday and Friday, hosted by PrideLines Youth Services. Between the two nights, 25 equality supporters came out to learn the best ways to fight for the Florida Competitive Workforce Act. We were very thankful to share the space with PrideLines!
Saturday and Sunday's event included lots of live music, performances, food trucks, and hundreds of pro-LGBT booths. During the festival, Equality Florida was proud to connect with individuals and local businesses in the area! By continuing the conversation and momentum surrounding marriage equality, we collected almost 5,000 pledges in support of full equality for all LGBT Floridians!
Pamela Keith, candidate for Senate, stopped by to march with us in the parade and support the passage of the Florida Competitive Workforce Act while Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz took time to sign our pledge! Dr. Lydia Annice Foy, a transgender woman notable for leading legal challenges regarding gender recognition in Ireland, spoke with us extensively on Saturday, to encourage our work and share some of hers.
All around, it was a great weekend. South Florida was truly beaming with pride. We were happy to engage rhe Miami Beach community in the fight for equal protections for all LGBT Floridians!


Hi, In order to find the instances of motif showing up in the peak file, I have tried two scripts from HOMER: findmotifsGenome.pl and annotatePeaks.pl. However, the number of instances of that motif is totally different. For example, in the motif discovery results from knownResult.html file: TF-A has 2000 binding sites. In the annotatePeaks.pl, it has 6000 sites. [based on 21st column: when empty, it means the peak is not bound by TF-A] In the findmotifsGenome.pl, it has 4000sites. Any idea? Thanks.
i have a number of sequneces while i am giving that as a input findMotifs.pl observerd this type of error. can you explain me what i have to give. becoz i am not able to understand which background file this script want.
!Your input sequences will be randomized to serve as a background instead.
