Policy issue: Are protection policies making progress?
When fully implemented, the NATURE2000 Network will conserve a significant proportion of the most important EU-wide natural and semi-natural grasslands.
The Bern Convention Emerald Network will parallel this in countries outside the EU. The sites proposed for conservation under the Habitats Directive (pSCIs) vary in number and size, depending on the climate and character of the landscape and the historic and current land use. For example, the highest proportion of proposed large sites with significant dry grassland habitat is in the Mediterranean biogeographic region, with more than 80 sites between 1 000 ha and 10 000 ha. Spain has two sites of about 25 000 ha, one of 52 000 ha and one of 75 000 ha.
Although several countries have still not completed their national proposals under the NATURA2000 process (for example, none from Germany), there are many sites larger than 1 000 ha in the Continental biogeographic region, including extensive dryland areas in France and Austria. The large areas of dryland generally correspond to low-intensity farming areas, with biodiversity maintained through extensive grazing and hay cutting.
The growing national and international understanding of the importance of grassland habitats for nature conservation has resulted in an increasing number of projects in European countries to ensure the conservation of dry and mesic grasslands and associated species through restoration and management.

Ryan Hartman (born September 20, 1994) is an American professional ice hockey forward for the Minnesota Wild of the National Hockey League (NHL). Hartman was selected by the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round (30th overall) of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. He made his NHL debut in 2015 for the Blackhawks. He is the first player in NHL history to be born in the state of South Carolina.

Early life
Hartman was born on September 20, 1994, on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. He was raised by Craig and Kim Hartman in West Dundee, Illinois, where he became a fan of the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League (NHL). He attended William Fremd High School in Palatine, Illinois, another suburb of Chicago. He began ice skating at the age of three and played minor ice hockey with a number of Chicago-area teams, most notably the Chicago Mission, with whom he won several state championships. With the Mission, Hartman became friends with fellow future NHL players Nick Schmaltz and Vinnie Hinostroza.

When he was 15, Hartman joined the USA Hockey National Team Development Program (NTDP), and his family moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan. His father built an ice skating rink in the backyard of their Michigan house, and Hartman used the rink to develop his shooting technique. During the 2011–12 NTDP season, Hartman was second on the team with 38 points in 55 games.

Playing career

Junior
Hartman joined the Plymouth Whalers of the Ontario Hockey League for the 2012–13 OHL season and was invited to take part in the CHL Top Prospects Game. He was then selected to play with the gold-medal-winning American squad at the IIHF World U20 Championship. Hartman was rated as a top prospect, fulfilling the expectation to be a first-round selection at the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.

Professional

Chicago Blackhawks
On November 18, 2013, the Chicago Blackhawks signed Hartman to a three-year entry-level contract. Hartman made his NHL debut on February 13, 2015, against the New Jersey Devils. Hartman started the  2016–17 NHL season with the Blackhawks. The team sought to harness Hartman's physical play style after trading away Andrew Shaw in the offseason. He scored the first goal of his career against Jake Allen of the St. Louis Blues during the NHL's season opener on October 12, 2016. Hartman scored his first career hat trick against the Nashville Predators on January 8, 2017. Hartman finished the season with 19 goals and 12 assists.

During the 2017–18 season, Hartman recorded eight goals and 17 assists in 57 appearances for the Blackhawks. He rotated through the Blackhawks lineup, but primarily skated as a bottom-six forward.

Nashville Predators
On February 26, 2018, Hartman along with a fifth-round pick in 2018 NHL Entry Draft was traded to the Nashville Predators in exchange for Victor Ejdsell, first-round and fourth-round picks in 2018. He appeared in 21 regular season games for Nashville, where he tallied three goals and three assists. The NHL suspended Hartman for one game during the first round of the 2018 Stanley Cup playoffs after he delivered an illegal check to Carl Soderberg.

Philadelphia Flyers
In the 2018–19 season, at the NHL trade deadline on February 25, 2019, the Predators traded Hartman, along with a conditional fourth-round pick in 2020, to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for Wayne Simmonds. He added two goals and six points through 19 games with the Flyers as the club missed the playoffs.

Minnesota Wild
On June 24, Hartman was again involved in a trade, dealt by the Flyers to the Dallas Stars in exchange for Tyler Pitlick. The following day, Hartman was not tendered a qualifying offer from the Stars, enabling him to become a free agent on July 1.

On the opening day of free agency, Hartman was signed to a two-year, $3.8 million contract with the Minnesota Wild on July 1, 2019.

On April 22, 2021, Hartman signed a three-year, $5.1 million contract extension with the Wild.

International play

Hartman competed for the United States in the 2012 IIHF World U18 Championships. He recorded six points, two goals and four assists, in six games. As a member of the American team, Hartman received a gold medal.

Hartman played for the U.S. in the 2013 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. He accumulated three points, two goals and an assist, in seven games. As a member of the U.S. team, Hartman received a gold medal. He posted four points with the U.S. team in the 2014 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, two goals and two assists, in five games.

Personal life
Hartman originally committed to playing college hockey at Miami University, but later de-committed from the school to play for the Plymouth Whalers. His younger brother Tanner played hockey for the Chicago Fury U15 team, and currently plays for the New Hampshire Jr. Monarchs of the NCDC. He has a white German Shepherd named Riley.

Hartman also played football for the Bloomingdale Bears youth football team along with his friend and former teammate Vinnie Hinostroza.

Nyerere National Park
Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve) is Africa's largest protected reserve in terms of square kilometers. With only few visitors, it is also a hidden gem far from the madding crowds of the northern parks. As an off-the-beaten-path destination it rewards visitors with an unspoiled wilderness and outstanding game encounters.
Located roughly 220 km from Dar es Salaam, it can easily be reached by plane but can also be accessed by road. Thanks to its great abundance of species and habitats, it is also an important wildlife corridor that links to the Niassa Game Reserve in Mozambique. It has gained UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 1982.
This untouched, rugged game reserve offers its few visitors a huge range of activities. Regular game drives can easily be combined with spectacular boat safaris and incredible walking safaris with armed rangers. For the very adventurous traveler, a night under the African sky during a fly-camping experience is a spectacular highlight.
Main Facts
Selous: established in 1922 with a size of 54,600 km²
Nyerere: established in 2019 with a size of 30,000 km²
all year around – best during dry season: June to October
Common Animals
Antelopes: eland, hartebeest, impala, kudu, wildebeest
Big Five: buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, rhino (hardly ever seen)

Further Details – Nyerere National Park
Nyerere National Park combines a large variety of habitats including open grasslands, rocky acacia-clad hills, riverine forests and swamps as well as Miombo woodlands along with borassus palm trees. More than 2100 plants have so far been recorded. The Rufiji River, which creates a complex network of channels, lakes and swamps, is a haven and life force for local wildlife.
The varied terrain provides a splendid habitat for an abundance of wildlife. Its large mammal population encompasses a significant population of African elephants, buffaloes, crocodiles and hippopotamus. Baboons, monkeys, giraffes, hyenas and zebras also play a part in the scenery. Rhinos do in fact inhabit Nyerere/Selous but sightings are extremely rare and should not be expected.
Puku and sable antelopes, elands, Lichtenstein's hartebeests, impalas, greater kudus and Nyassa wildebeests call Nyerere/Selous their home. They provide the perfect dinner for the well over 3500 lions. Leopards are usually found lounging in the riverine woodland. It is also an important sanctuary for the endangered African wild dog.
With more than 440 recorded species of birds, Nyerere/Selous is a paradise for ornithologists. Apart from the endemic Uzungwa forest partridge, hornbills, plovers, storks, sunbirds, turacos and vultures can be observed. The lakes are home to fish eagles, ibises, kingfishers and pelicans, while along the sandbank you will often find large bee-eater colonies.
The Rufiji River – a source of life
The Rufiji River is the catchment area for superb wildlife observations. The labyrinth of channels, lakes and streams creates a delicate water paradise similar to the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Boat safaris are a great way to view wildlife from a different perspective. Visitors will come across sunbathing crocodiles or witness hippos from up close. While herbivores gather here to drink carnivores lie in wait. Spectacular encounters are in store for you!
Which travelers will particularly enjoy Nyerere National Park?
for travelers who want an off the beaten track experience
for travelers who want an extended stay in one place for in-depth park explorations
for travelers who are looking for a varied wildlife experience

EU official said on Wednesday that he felt quite relieved upon Turkey's Constitutional Court's latest decision not to close down the country's ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party.
A European Union (EU) official said on Wednesday that he felt quite relieved upon Turkey's Constitutional Court's latest decision not to close down the country's ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party.
Releasing a written statement, Joost Lagendijk, the co-chairman of Turkey-EU Joint Parliament Committee, said that the court would have taken an anti-democratic decision incompatible with European values if it had approved the indictment and ruled to close down AK Party.
Lagendijk also asked AK Party to take the right lessons from the court's verdict and to take action.
He said Turkey should rapidly continue to carry out reforms that would lead the way to EU.
Noting that such reforms should start with the preparation of a civilian and democratic constitution, Lagendijk said the current constitution's provisions allowing for the closure of political parties should be amended as soon as possible.
Lagendijk also said that AK Party should act in a more sensitive way in response to the concerns and fears of those who had not voted in favor of the party in the elections.
The French EU presidency and the European Commission had no immediate official comment but a diplomat familiar with EU thinking said the ruling was welcome because it removed a potential obstacle to Turkey's accession process.
"This is excellent news because having the sword of Damocles hanging over the main party which democratically controls the government and institutions was terrible," the diplomat said.
Another diplomat said the French presidency, during its six months in the chair, intended to open negotiations with Ankara on two or three additional policy areas out of the 35 into which EU law is divided, provided there was no big political setback.
Turkey's friends in the 27-nation EU were alarmed at the risk that Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's party might be banned in what they would have seen as a clear departure from European democratic standards.
Turkey's highest court ruled Wednesday not to close AK Party.
Hasim Kilic, president of Constitutional Court, said, "six members of the Constitutional Court voted for closure of the political party while four others voted for depriving the party of the financial assistance of the Treasury instead of its dissolution. Accordingly, the AK party will be deprived of the financial assistance with an amount of half of the last assistance."

Home Supercar News BMW Official: 700hp G-Power BMW X5 M
Official: 700hp G-Power BMW X5 M
With 560 hp on tap as standard, the BMW X5 M is one of the fastest and most accelerative SUVs on the market. For X5 M owners looking for even more performance however, G-Power has just the answer in the form of its 700 hp upgrade for the car.
To achieve the extra horsepower as well as the jump to 905 Nm of torque, G-Power offers its Bi-Tronik 5 performance module or the Bi-Tronik 2 performance remapping tool for the performance SUV. The new performance module is a simple plug and play device while the remapping system allows the customer to tweak the throttle response and power delivery characteristics of the engine.
Alongside this change, G-Power also outfits the BMW X5 M with new stainless steel downpipes and 200-cell racing catalysts. Alongside the power increase, G-Power offers to remove the electronic top speed limiter of the car.
Elsewhere, the car has been installed by the latest Hurricane RR forged wheels from G-Power which just so happen to be the lightest and strongest wheels produced by the tuning firm.

"G-POWER X5 M F85:
23'' HURRICANE RR forged wheels and a power output upgrade to 700 hp (514 kW)/ 905 Nm sharpen the profile of the BMW SUV with "M" genes
700 hp (514 kW)/ 905 Nm – 23" HURRICANE RR forged wheels
G-POWER X5 M F85: power output upgrade to 700 hp (514 kW)/ 905 Nm sharpens the profile of the BMW SUV with "M" genes
With the HURRICANE forged wheel generation – that has been redesigned from scratch in 2015 – G-POWER is making its vision of the perfect wheel come true. Technology boosts in the fields of material research, design and production have prepared the ground for G-POWER to replace the SILVERSTONE DIAMOND wheel that has been successful for years.
The result is a wheel generation of superlatives. The present G-POWER forged wheels are nothing less than the lightest, strongest and most individual Aluminum wheels in the history of G-POWER. Made from ultra-light aircraft-grade aluminium, these wheels are available in three different colours (Jet Black, Gun Metal Grey and Stardust Silver) and can be combined with a polished surface – the G-POWER DIAMOND CUT – and be topped off with an individual signature of up to 15 characters. A polished version of the HURRICANE RR is completing the line-up.
Available from 20" to 23", the HURRICANE RR forged wheels are not just looking awesome on the new BMW Sport SUV, the X5 M, but at the same time are reducing the unsprung mass due to their low weight. Tyres with lower flanks in the dimensions 315/25 R23 improve the steering precision significantly. This translates into an improved handling and provides for more thrills on winding country roads.
No wonder that the wish for more power might come up sooner or later. Fortunately, G-POWER can help there, as well. Up to 700 hp (514 kW)/ 905 Nm are possible. This power output enhancement is achieved either by the G-POWER Bi-Tronik 5 performance module or the Bi-Tronik 2 bespoke remapping of the factory ECU. Both alternatives have their individual advantages. The Bi-Tronik 5 – based on a microprocessor-controlled module – comes with all the benefits of a plug and play device and the Bi-Tronik 2 bespoke remapping allows the individual wishes of the customer vis-à-vis throttle response and power delivery characteristics to be written into the software.
In order to achieve a power output upgrade to 700 hp (514 kW) 905 Nm, the modification of the ECU's software is not enough and additional modifications to the hardware are required. Primarily it is necessary to reduce the performance debilitating backpressure of the standard exhaust system. Therefore G-POWER installs in a further step flow optimized downpipes made from stainless steel that are equipped with 200-cell racing-catalysts.
Of course, after the G-POWER modification all standard protection and diagnostic functions of the original BMW ECU stay untouched. During the engineering process of the latest generation of the successful Bi-Tronik, the G-POWER R&D department has transferred its experience from the area of supercharging to the turbocharged BMW engines. After all, the ASA supercharger used for the G-POWER supercharger systems is closely related to the turbochargers featured by BMW, since both units us a centrifugal compressor to build up boost.
Next to the power output increase, G-POWER is offering the option to delete the serial top speed restriction, as well. In order to do so, the limit for the top speed is raised to a theoretical value that cannot be achieved in practice, thus the G-POWER X5 M F85 is able to achieve a top speed that is in accordance to its power output of 700 hp (514 kW)."

PHYLLIS PASTORE made her mark on the New York cabaret scene as soon as she arrived in New York in 1988. A Bistro Award-winner & MAC Award-nominee, Phyllis was a staple on the stages of Don't Tell Mama, the legendary 88's Cabaret & Piano Bar, Upstairs at the Downstairs and One If By Land, Two If By Sea, among others. Phyllis was the first cabaret performer to be invited to sing at the acclaimed Wexford Opera Festival fringe in Wexford, Ireland and has been seen on stages in St. Thomas, London, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Munich. Phyllis has shared the stage with such legends as Barbara Cook, Michael Feinstein, Steve Ross and Petula Clark. In 1993, Phyllis accepted a job in a small cabaret/piano bar called Montparnasse, located on Mykonos, one of Greece's most beautiful islands. It was a match made in heaven and this one month gig turned into an annual event, this year marking her 21st season performing in this world-renowned club. She has received critical acclaim from BackStage, The NY Post, Conde Nast Travelerand Fodor's Travel Guide. In recent years, Phyllis has been the lead singer with JT Wildman Jazz Band, an 8-piece Dixieland ensemble performing at "Superfine" in the Dumbo area of Brooklyn.

Add to that, Warren's hysterical sense of improvisational comedy and the audience will roar with laughter. During the glory days of the "Borscht Belt," Warren had the pleasure of being the opening act for such artists as Sandler & Young, Allen & Rossi, Steve DePass, Red Buttons, Totie Fields, Perry Como, Red Skelton, Buddy Hackett and many others.

Dr. John F. Connors is a podiatrist, not of the run of the mill variety, but of the running variety. He specializes in sports podiatry. More specifically, he focuses on runners, especially middle and long distance runners.
Over the course of his 20-plus year career Connors, who has offices in New York City and Little Silver, has worked with many elite athletes not only from the United States, but from countries around the world – Kenya, Ethiopia, Brazil, Mexico, Russia and Romania. He's offered his services at multiple Olympic Games, including Sydney, Australia, in 2000 and London in 2012, where he was one of the doctors at the Nike hospitality tent.
He's been called "the go to guy in the entire country" when it comes to runners' injuries. His patients include Shannon Rowbury, the American record holder in the 1,500 meters; Molly Huddle, the American record holder in both the 5,000 meters and the 10,000 meters – setting the latter mark in the Rio Olympic Games – and Kenyan Patrick Makau Musyoki, the former world record holder in the marathon.
So what was Connors doing on Monday morning, addressing a crowd of about 80 cross country and track athletes in the Southern Regional High School auditorium? It turns out that Connors, who grew up on LBI, treats Southern Regional School District Superintendent Craig Henry and is friends with members of the district's coaching staff.
John Connors, DPM has been a board certified diplomate with the ABPM since 1992.


Right wing extremist parties that attempt to stir up racial and ethnic prejudices have been gaining support during the recession in Europe. In Denmark, the Netherlands and Italy liberals already form coalition governments with such parties. Both centre right and centre left political leaders across Europe are coming together to form a coherent response.
Laqueur describes fascism's historical achievements and disasters, and then uncovers contemporary adaptations of fascist tactics and strategies.
Fascism is a radical and authoritarian nationalist political ideology. Fascists seek to organize a nation according to corporatist perspectives, values, and systems, including the political system and the economy.
Events have demonstrated with tragic clearness that the moment the working class allows the fascist wave to sweep over it, a long period of slavery and impotence begins - a long period during which socialist, even democratic, ideas are not merely erased from the pediments of public monuments and libraries but, what is much more serious, are rooted out of human minds. Events have proved that fascism physically destroys everything opposing its dictatorship, no matter how mildly, and that it creates a vacuum around itself and leaves a vacuum behind it.
International Federation of Journalists calls on the United States to lift a travel ban on a leading Colombian journalist who has risked his life to expose terrorism, warning of a "grave injustice" that may increase the dangers facing the reporter.
John Kerry spent last week testing the waters with the Israelis and the Palestinians over his so-called framework agreement – designed to close the gaps between the two sides. But the issues he is trying to resolve appear more intractable by the day.
Many serious observers hold that the crisis in Europe has not come to an end. With the restructuring of the Greek national debt and the enlargement of the European Stability Mechanism, only time was bought, yet the fundamental problems of over-accumulation2 and the imbalances of the current accounts among the members of the Eurozone still persist.
Empire is once again fashionable. The financial crisis that is presently gutting the island of Puerto Rico plays out like the world's worst case of botched assisted suicide. The sell of its municipal funds and its constitutionally guaranteed promise of repayment to investors has plunged the island into a very precarious situation for its millions of citizens and the opportunity of a lifetime for hedge fund vultures.
Examines the historical roots and current situation of right-wing populism in the US. Berlet and Lyons highlight the dangers of right-wing populism in affecting the political system and opportunities for social change.
It was Marx who finally brought the two ideas of socialism and democracy together, because he developed a theory which made the synthesis possible for the first time. The heart of the theory is this proposition: that there is a social majority which has the interest and motivation to change the system, and that the aim of socialism can be the education and mobilization of this mass-majority. This is the exploited class, the working class, from which comes the eventual motive-force of revolution. Hence, a socialism-from-below is possible, on the basis of a theory that sees the revolutionary potentialities in the broad masses, even if they seem backward at a given time and place. Marxism came into being in self-conscious struggle against the advocates of the Educational Dictatorship, the Savior-Dictators, the revolutionary elitists, the communist authoritarians, as well as the philanthropic dogooders and bourgeois liberals.
While the banks, elites, and the super-rich have been scrambling to try to hold onto their billions following the UK's shocking vote to exit from the European Union, the anger expressed by the leave side was another emotional cry to end the control that corporations and the elite have over everyday people in many Western countries.

The Department of Homeland Security needed someone to be the deputy undersecretary of the department's National Protections Program Directorate.
That's government HR speak for the person in charge of making sure the government's computers are secure and protected from cyber attacks and all kinds of malware.
So, who did they decide was the right person for the job?
Reitinger comes to DHS from his job as chief trustworthy infrastructure strategist for Microsoft, a job that required him in part to help develop and implement strategies for enhancing the security of critical infrastructures.
In other words, DHS picked someone who was responsible for making "trustworthy" the operating systems and software many people in the security industry feel are largely at fault for providing the many holes allowing all those cyber attacks and malware to do their thing.
We call that irony, kids. :-)
At least his qualifications are an improvement over the last person who held the job, continuing a major theme of the Obama administration.
And, if you think about it, if anyone knows where the bugs are buried, it would probably be Mr. Reitinger.
Still Some Bugs in the Voting Booth
When it comes to elections in this country, the philosophy is supposed to be "every vote counts", right?
Well, maybe not.
A voting system used in 34 states contains a critical programming error that can cause votes to be dropped while being electronically transferred from memory cards to a central tallying point, the manufacturer acknowledges.
The problem was identified after complaints from Ohio elections officials following the March primary there, but the logic error that is the root of the problem has been part of the software for 10 years, said Chris Riggall, a spokesman for Premier Election Solutions, formerly known as Diebold.
A logic bug that's been around for ten years? Even the Big Monopoly of Redmond pushes out fixes for their crappy software faster than that.
But it gets worse. When the problem was discovered, the company blamed it on third party anti-virus software.
Which brings up the question of why it's necessary to protect against viruses on a system that by all rights should be closed to any outside network?
Supposedly there are "crosscheck procedures" election officials can use when they certify the results.
However, and correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't electronic voting supposed to make counting the ballots more accurate and fair after the 2000 disaster in Florida?
Or am I just being paranoid and/or naive?
Living in a Beta World
I've decided that developers should drop the pretense of releasing a "final" version of their products and just admit that all their software and web applications are beta.
That thought came to mind this week as I played with the new version of the OS for my iPhone and tried to figure out if the little glitches were just my imagination.
If you don't frequent the web world that encompasses all things Apple, you may not have heard all the rantings about bugs in the latest techie object of lust, iPhone 3G.
Almost all the problems involve the 2.0 upgrade to the software, which those of us who own the now obsolete and totally uncool previous version also received.
The solution to some apps crashing the system, an annoying lag between clicking an icon and the app running, and other "anomalies" seems to be to wait for the 2.01 update (coming soon according to the rumors).
On the positive side, at least I've learned how to do a forced restart.
But the situation really isn't any different with other software, is it?
The Big Monopoly of Redmond spent almost seven years creating Vista and then another a year to produce the service pack that fixed the problems they should have know about in the first place.
In fact, in the past few years I can't think of a paid upgrade from a major software publisher (and a few hardware makers) that wasn't followed soon after with a .1 release to make it work correctly.
At least when it comes to web applications, developers are up front in telling users their stuff is beta and may not work as advertised.
Gmail (which actually works very well) is almost three years old and still labeled beta.
Generally, however, those web 2.0 company also don't charge for the services.
Or at least they ask for far less than the cost of one night in a good hotel.
Is This Thing Working?
Ok, so the upgrade to WordPress 2.5 seems to have gone well.
Now comes the tweaking.

February is called the month of love. That's why most of people want to get engaged and married in this month . It's a "Engagement Session" so if you are going to engaged you should choose a perfect ring for your engagement.
Among the greatest trends, Garnet Engagement Rings may be the resurgence of romantic vintage-inspired details and antique rings this year. And with regards to authentic one-of-a-kind diamond engagement rings having a wealthy background and timeless style, there is no better spot to look than Trumpet and Horn. Now you might be thinking why you need to think about a vintage ring and what can be perfect for you.
so here are the five tips for locating the perfect one.
➡ Vintage rings would be the most eco-friendly choice with regards to topaz engagement rings . If you select vintage , there's no extra mining or labor that's needed to create a ring for you personally, so that you can be assured you are making an almost-zero effect on the atmosphere.
➡ Vintage rings , by their nature , are conflict- free . The conflict that " conflict-free" diamonds make reference to started generally as soon as the 1970's . Rings which were already completed pieces prior to the 1970's weren't active in the conflict by any means that is a super easy and fool- proof method to be certain that a diamond ring is conflict-free.
➡ Vintage rings could be less costly simply because they require no extra mining or labor , so individuals pricing is not forwarded to the customer. Sometimes , when recently made rings are extremely cheap or less expensive than an identical vintage ring, it might be since gemstone they will use are low quality , bought in large quantities, making into rings . Overseas in countries with labor laws and regulations which are less strict the US, which drives lower the cost .
➡ Vintage rings are frequently one-of-a-kind or not far from it. Most new rings come in big production runs they are driving lower the price of manufacturing, so there are lots of rings that look the identical which go to promote. With vintage many otherwise most pieces is one-offs . Particularly with older vintage/ antique rings, gemstones were selected first and also the settings were crafted by hands to perfectly fit the selected stone.
➡ Vintage rings are wearable pieces of art . These were hands-produced by artisans without electricity and also the technology advances that are utilised to turn out rings on the massive scale in the current market . Each was lovingly crafted by a painter from design to completion, instead of computer generated and pieced together to create a complete product by many people different terms , sometimes in a number of different countries. We feel this will make Vintage style engagement rings just like a little artwork history that you could put on in your hand.

Living jazz legend Jackie McLean, age 63 in January 1996, decided to record his first leader album in four years on the Japanese label Somethin' Else. That in itself was great news, but that he decided to collaborate with Junko Onishi--a phenomenal jazz pianist who was having a meteoric rise at the time--was almost too much for Japanese jazz fans. Supported by a fantastic rhythm section of Nat Reeves and Lewis Nash, McLean and Onishi collided with immense force and created superb music that is hard-driving and passionate. Highlights abound, from McLean revisiting his old hits like "Little Melonae, " "Sentimental Journey" and "Bluesnik" to Onishi's excellent original "Jackie's Hat." Engineered by Jim Anderson, the sound quality is also very good. This is definitely one of the best albums released by Somethin' Else, a towering achievement, a crown jewel. Enthusiastically recommended!
Recorded at Power Station Studio, NYC on January 28-31, 1996. SHM-CD uses an advanced polycarbonate material for superior sound quality and is compatible with all CD players.

She grew up in a household with a mom who rarely used recipes and worked full-time yet always seemed to be able to get dinner on the table at the same time every night. Not long into her independent years, Jess found herself with those same libertarian ways when it came to cooking and has always been able to produce a well-balanced meal without stress. As a seasoned endurance athlete, she knows how important fueling the body is to successfully complete her training, getting to the starting line healthy and powering her recovery.
Above all else, Jess believes that performance starts with what we put into our bodies and the best kinds of meals are simple, whole-food combinations that are for the good of all: the planet, the animals, and the athletes.

MY DYLAN PAPERS:
PART 3---CALL ME A DYLANITE
(Drawing by Denise Locke)
I wrote the following piece for The New York Sunday News of November 11, 1973:
Call me a Dylanite. I don't even know what the word means, but I'll tell you this: of all the things I've ever done or failed to do in my life, what very often impresses me most about myself is the fact that Bob wrote Mr. Tambourine Man one night in my house in Berkeley Heights, N.J., sitting with my portable typewriter at my white Formica breakfast bar in a swirl of chain-lit Camels cigarette smoke, his bony, long-nailed fingers tapping the words out on my stolen canary-colored Saturday Evening Post copy paper while the whole time, over and over again, Marvin Gaye sang Can I Get A Witness? from the six-foot speakers of my hi-fi in the room next to where he was, with Bob getting up from the typewriter each time the record finished in order to put the needle back at the start.
I remember telling this story once, afterwards, to George Harrison up in Nat Weiss' apartment---a little bit of what Allen Ginsberg would call divine gossip. Georges eyes twinkled off into thought for a moment and then he said:
"I'll bet you could find every note from Can I Get A Witness? in Mr. Tambourine Man if you looked for it."
Every note---except, of course, rearranged in that mysterious, secret way that Bob has. But then, its the mysterious, secret way that Bob has that makes everything he does seem so awesome. Bob always keeps you guessing. When George and Leon Russell played behind him at the Concert for Bangladesh, he went from song to song without so much as telling them the key he was going to play in. Which says as much about George and Leon as followers as it does about Bob as a leader. Bob is the most psychic person I know. You've got to be a heavyweight to play with Bob. You've got to be a champion heavyweight to lead the way he leads.
Call me a Dylanite. In a swirl of chain-lit Camels cigarette smoke, while the whole time, over and over again, Marvin Gaye sang Can I Get A Witness? I had my bedroom wired into the hi-fi, too, and I listened to Can I Get A Witness? over and over again with Bob through the night, me in my bedroom and Bob out at the breakfast bar, until I shut off my speakers and went to sleep. Bob must have stayed up past dawn, tapping away at the keys in his cigarette fog. He had just broken up with his girl friend of the time, the one girl who had gotten the closest to him after he first hit New York---Suzie Rotolo, the girl on the cover of his Freewheelin' album.
"We keep wearing each other down like pencils," she'd said.
For him it was a long step further into loneliness, a personal loneliness over, above and beyond the loneliness that had to do with his career, with his destiny, with all that abstract crap which makes a deity out of a star, an idol out of a man. Can you imagine the loneliness of suddenly finding you've outdistanced everyone, who used to be there for you to talk to? The loneliness of a spiritual explorer, of a scout, of a pioneer, way out there by himself in the unknown? Somehow, I thought Bob always knew he was being driven by the touch of God.
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me. I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm
goin' to. . .
I knew he was going through something that night. We had been hanging out in New York, heard some music, gone to a restaurant, hit a few bars. He had stopped in to see her, briefly, while I waited outside in the car. They had tried hard to stay close. The drive out to Jersey, back to my house was 33 miles. It was a gloomy ride. At my house, we talked, listened to some records and raided my refrigerator. You've never known a refrigerator raider like Bob. He'd stand there for what seemed like an hour with the fridge door open and pick a full-course meal off the shelves, running some kind of insane, hilarious, non-stop dinner conversation as he kept chomping away, maybe with a chicken leg in one hand and a glass of wine in the other. If nothing else about Bob ever dazzled me, I had to be awed by his metabolism.
I forget whether it was he or I who put on Can I Get A Witness? The record was one of my happiest favorites at the time. Then Bob asked to borrow my typewriter. He put it on the breakfast bar and began pecking away, sometimes stopping to talk with me or my wife, Ann. He had been staying at our house on and off for a while, making himself quite at home. Ann used to complain a little, but the way I felt about Bob, I used to daydream that one day they'd turn the place into a national monument. I had never met anybody with so much wisdom. I still haven't. I knew he was going through something that night but I knew he could handle it. He kept coming back to the subject of Suzie. I remember him talking about what it had been like having her to turn to. I respected the forlorn resignation with which he attacked his bittersweet agony. To me, he was Billy the Kid. He said he had to write a song. He already had the music, he just needed the words.
The next morning, I think, was a Sunday. It was a little jingle-jangled for me, too. I remember stumbling to the refrigerator for something cold to put out the fire in my throat. Bob was collapsed downstairs on the couch. There was always tension in our house when Bob was there, always an excitement. We catered to him like he was a rich relative, but it wasn't his power and wealth we sought, it was the charm of his presence, the same charm that fills a hall when he gets on its stage. There was always a magic in the house when he was there, and I had felt a particular magic the night before. I had sensed the song he was working on to be special and I was anxious to find out what the night had granted him. He had sung me some of the lines and we had talked about the song. Who was Mr. Tambourine Man? My wife asked those kinds of questions. I never did try to analyze the images. I knew they had a lot to do with what he had been thinking about the night before. He had just cut himself loose and yet here he was surrendering to his own destiny. Who was Mr. Tambourine Man? I don't know. God, maybe. Maybe Bob himself, calling to himself to come dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand wavin' free, to me the most Chaplinesque figure to fascinate the world since Chaplin himself.
At the breakfast bar I found a wastebasket full of crumpled false starts. I took it out the side door to empty it into the trash can when a whispering emotion caught me, like a breeze that sometimes gently stops you cold just because of its own ghostly power to make you notice it. I took the crumpled sheets, smoothed them out, read the crazy leaping lines, smiled to myself at the leaps that never landed and then put the sheets into a file folder. I still have them somewhere.
Call me a Dylanite. I laugh at all these young snot Rolling Stone type rock critics who are so eager to write Bob off as an over-30 has-been. If they'd stop adoring themselves for a half hour or so to listen to Bobs Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid album, they might detect a new fervor, a new energy and a new confidence to Bob's singing. They'd also get punched out by the lyrics.
I detect no deterioration of Bob's power. And doesn't anyone understand the significance of the fact that Knockin' On Heaven's Door, one of the most uncompromising songs he has ever written, has just cracked the Top 5 of the Top 40 charts? I think Bob Dylan's career is just beginning, if career is the right word. Because Bob does have a destiny. Here's a man who once used my typewriter to write words that have branded themselves into the imagination of an entire generation and will continue to flash in the minds of God knows how many generations more. As far as I'm concerned, Bob is the heavyweight champion of the world and I don't see any contenders in sight.
Yes, call me a Dylanite.
There's no doubt about it. I was crazy about Bob Dylan, the hero of my life. Crazy enough to start fantasizing that he was the new Messiah. Lord knows, the world sure needs a new Messiah. But I wasn't the only one who got that crazy. Ron Rosenbaum, one of the best writers I know, told me he at one time thought Bob was the new Messiah, too. And Bob Johnston, who produced 12 of Bob's albums between 1964 and 1971, told me that he at first believed Bob was a messenger from Jesus. Didn't his lyrics sound like verses from a new Bible? Yes, Bob certainly must have tremendous psychic power to be able to put that deep a dent in all the psyches into which he embedded himself. It's a tribute to his magic that he was able to cast that spell over us that he did.
But the late Victor Maymudes, who played Robin to Bob's Batman for some 40 years, told me that Bob is just another asshole like the rest of us. The tall, dark and handsome, slim, sinewy and Sephardic Victor started working as Bob's road manager since almost
Bob's the Shakespeare
of our time, but
his shit stinks like everybody else's
before Bob started needing one. Victor was maybe the last of the old-timers to be ousted from King Bob's court. They broke up a year or so before Victor started trying to write his story of life with Bob. He asked me to help him write it and I started to. There was some awful shit he told me that stunk so bad, he said he couldn't put it into his book.
"I'll let you put it in your column," he told me.
I've learned from personal experience that as charming as Bob can be, he also can be that nasty. Such as when he told me, "Get the fuck outta here? when he came into Levon Helm's dressing room at the Lone Star years ago. I still don't know why Bob turned on me like that, but there's a long list of others he also turned on for what reason they have no idea---including Victor, who died wondering why Bob got so nasty with him.
Once he fired Victor, Bob was surrounded entirely by suits. Do I sound a little more cynical than the guy who once called himself a Dylanite? The guy who used to think Bob's shit didn't stink? I still think Bob's the Shakespeare of our time but I now know how bad his shit stinks. It smells as bad as everybody else's shit and I oughta know. I've been close enough to smell it.
In his liner notes for his 3-cd biograph set, Bob wrote about Mr. Tambourine Man:
"Mr. Tambourine Man, I think, was inspired by Bruce Langhorne. Bruce was playing guitar with me on a bunch of the early records. On one session, (producer) Tom Wilson had asked him to play tambourine. And he had this gigantic tambourine. It was like, really big. It was as big as a wagon-wheel. He was playing, and this vision of him playing this tambourine just stuck in my mind. He was one of those characters ... he was like that. I don't know if I've ever told him that. I haven't seen him in a long time."
Yeah, I was at that session in June of "64. There's a lot of people Bob hasn't seen in a long time. I'm not he only one. In his liner notes, Bob goes on to say he wrote some of the song in New Orleans, adding:
I don't know, different things inspired me ... that Fellini movie? What was it? La Strada. It was
all sort of like the same thing, you know. Drugs never played a part in that song ... 'disappearing
in the smoke rings in my mind', that's not drugs, drugs were never that big a thing with me. I
could take 'm or leave 'm, never hung me up."
Drugs? Heavens forbid! That wasn't all Camels cigarette smoke that fogged Bob as he pecked away at my portable in my house in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. Drugs? Bob was never hung up on drugs. He could take "m or leave "m. But mostly he took "m. ##

Sunday Reading: The World of Vinson Cunningham
By The New Yorker
Photograph by Jane Bruce
Vinson Cunningham's first piece for The New Yorker, published in 2015, was about Humans of New York, the popular photography project by Brandon Stanton that has provided the basis for multiple best-selling books. Cunningham's essay opens with a close description of one photo, featuring "a boy in an open black bubble jacket," standing alone on a city street. The view quickly widens, as Cunningham considers not only the social circumstances of the boy in question, and what ensues when a picture of him goes viral, but also the many past projects to which Humans of New York might be compared: Jacob Riis's "How the Other Half Lives," Gordon Parks's portraits of Harlem, James Agee and Walker Evans's "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men." Cunningham finds Stanton to be a poor inheritor of these forerunners, whose Facebook-ready endeavor encourages "the quick and cavalier consumption of others."
In the essays, reviews, and Profiles that have followed, Cunningham has consistently demonstrated that rare ability to perceive art in both its minutest particulars and its broadest possible contexts. In "Ghost Story," a scalding appraisal of Nate Parker's Nat Turner biopic "The Birth of a Nation," he not only dissects the movie's macho vision and its reliance on cliché, he also sharply elucidates Turner's enduring legacy. "Slavery in this country was never a hero's journey," Cunningham writes. "It is a ghost story, and Nat Turner is its poltergeist, dashing pottery against America's walls." In "A Darker Presence," a chronicle and a critique of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, he questions the museum's triumphalist story about black life in America, with its suggestion that emancipation was "hidden, from the beginning, somewhere deep within the national heart." His review of "Sing, Unburied, Sing," Jesmyn Ward's novel about life on the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina, traces the influence of Morrison and Faulkner and charts a path from Katrina to Black Lives Matter.
In January, Cunningham profiled the artist Sanford Biggers, who, "in a period when overtly political material may be more respected, and coveted, than ever before," creates work that confounds and disarms. Cunningham sees a virtue in this: "His desire not to be pinned down appears to spring from a kind of moral impulse: he wants the audience to do its share of the work," he writes. As readers, we often have work to do as well, but Cunningham makes those labors uncommonly delightful and rewarding.

"Jesmyn Ward's vocabulary tends toward the epic; she alludes to the Old Testament and Greek mythology with equal frequency and intensity; for her, Katrina is comparable in significance to the Egyptian captivity or the aftermath of the Trojan War." Read more.
" 'What I want to do is code-switch,' Sanford Biggers told me. 'To have there be layers of history and politics,' he went on, 'but also this heady, arty stuff—inside jokes, black humor—that you might have to take a while to research if you want to really get it.' " Read more.

Too much free government aid is fueling 'pro-lazy' America
By Teresa Blackmon On Aug 27, 2022
Government policies have created a culture of laziness in recent years — mostly in ways you'd expect, but some you wouldn't.
First the COVID-19 pandemic opened up the spigot of government aid. Initially that aid went to families that, in many cases, genuinely needed it because of government-mandated business closures that prevented people from working. Yet as those lockdowns loosened, the benefits provided to people who stayed home remained intact. The government never turned off the tap.
Notably, this public policy was supported not only by most Democrats, but also by prominent Republican legislators like Senator Josh Hawley and President Trump, who refused to sign an aid package into law unless it contained a higher threshold ($2,000 vs. $1,600) of government aid to families. This may have been a populist policy to aid his reelection bid, but in any case it's notable that Trump, Hawley, Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris were all on the same side of this issue. It's part of the age-old promise of bread and circuses: it's legal to bribe citizens to reelect you as long as you do it with government money. Of course, you're ultimately bribing them with their own money, and diluting its value through inflation too.
Slacker backer Doreen Ford, a part-time dog walker, is behind an antiwork subreddit forum, whose aim is to "reduce the coercive element of labor… by subverting capitalism."

Debt regret? Forget about it. President Biden wiped out college loans for 20 million Americans on Wednesday, forgiving up to $20,000 for those who make less than $125K and needed Pell Grants to fund their education.
This cornucopia of free money has contributed to a culture of laziness that has resulted in the greatest labor shortage in the United States in over a generation. People simply became accustomed to not working — and quite liked it. White-collar employees enjoyed "working" from home with a measurable downtick in how much they were actually completing work, in my experience. So far, we're still early in the process of formally studying it, and the existing evidence is mixed.
A recent analysis in the Wall Street Journal suggests that the US's more generous unemployment benefits than other countries' contributed both to its lower labor-force participation rate and, because of fewer workers to help meet demand, higher inflation. You would predict that people start going back to work when the unemployment benefits stop. But we're not seeing that happen — at least not yet. Why? Because people got accustomed to the idea of not working and enjoyed it enough to stop working for longer than they could afford.
Loan forgiveness activists hard at work in DC in April, where their protest near the White House advocated a free pass for students facing college debts.
Nowhere was the new laziness movement better epitomized than the subreddit
r/antiwork, which became the place for supporters of the Great Resignation to unite. Its user population exploded during the pandemic, going from 180,000 in October 2020 to more than 1.6 million by January 2022. As The Post summed it up, the forum is a place where "People post epic text and email screenshots of quitting their jobs, but the real heroes are so-called 'idlers' — those who stay in jobs doing the absolute minimum to get by while still collecting a paycheck."
Examples include a user who bragged about getting paid $80,000 a year to answer one or two phone calls and an IT professional who created a simple script to perform their entire job and received $90,000 per year. The Post interviewed the subreddit's moderator, Doreen Ford, a 30-year old part-time dog walker who said the antiwork movement's goal "is to reduce the coercive element of labor as much as possible by subverting capitalism." A noble sentiment.
Not a sweet gig, apparently. This sign at a Dunkin' Donuts in Danville, PA, in March illustrates the nationwide labor shortage problem.

This pro-laziness movement launched by the pandemic dovetailed nicely with a growing clamor for the government to forgive student loan debt. Repaying debts is hard work, after all.
Once again, the federal government began by offering a moratorium on student loan repayments under President Trump, and once again, people expected that temporary aid to become permanent. The moratorium was repeatedly extended under President Biden, and on Wednesday he announced that the administration will forgive up to $20,000 in student loan debt to borrowers who received Pell Grants for their education and make less than $125,000, along with up to $10,000 in debt for non-Pell Grant recipients — wiping the financial slate clean for 20 million Americans.
America's youth got used to living on government handouts during the pandemic — and now there's no turning back.
It's part of the age-old promise of bread and circuses: it's legal to bribe citizens to reelect you as long as you do it with government money.
One think tank has warned the move could cost the average taxpayer more than $2,000. This, after the pause on student debt repayment already cost taxpayers more than $100 billion, losing another $4-5 billion in interest payments each month until the moratorium is lifted, according to government estimates. Yet somehow, American culture now maintains that it is right and good for students to purchase expensive educations and require others to foot the bill. The notion of paying back money you borrowed is now considered outdated, perhaps even systemically racist. An analysis from the Brookings Institute, for instance, argued that the existence of a racial wealth divide necessitates the full cancellation of student debt.
Note that even when antiwork superstars like Doreen Ford explicitly defend laziness as a virtue, they have to justify it by saying indolence is an appropriate response to capitalism's exploitation. Stealing from your employers can't be just laziness or greed — it has to be part of a grand fight for justice led by the little people downtrodden by the system.
A good victimhood narrative dresses up naked self-interest until it looks like nobility. It also allows you to pretend to fight for others as you fight for nothing but yourself.

MADERA, Calif. -- Some puppies have a new lease on life.
The Madera Police Department in California posted pictures on their Facebook page overnight.
They said two men were taking out their trash Sunday night when they noticed a box of puppies dumped in the large trash bin at their apartment complex.
They knew they couldn't leave the furry little friends behind so they took them out and called police.
An officer responded and took the puppies to the Madera Animal Shelter and will now have a good chance of adoption.
