"What?" The darkness outside the bus window was so inky, Mira couldn't even see the outline of a single tree or hilltop, and she felt like darkness was also smothering her brain. What was Chaiky talking about?
"Oh." Mira was quiet, suppressing a deep sigh. So the idea that Chaiky was coming to terms with was Yoel's. "Someone to come live with you?" she echoed slowly.
"Right." Suddenly, when the idea of Chaiky coming to live with them did not seem like the ideal solution it had seemed before, Mira found herself looking at Yoel's idea through a different lens. Remarkably, it didn't seem quite so bad.
But why did she still just not like the sound of the whole thing?
Mira took a deep breath. Chaiky had honed right in on the reason for her hesitation, even before she herself could put her finger on it. Chaiky was right: she didn't like the idea because of Anna.
They had been a young couple. Not newlyweds exactly; four years had already passed since their wedding, but they still fell into that "young couple" category. Binyamin had been a mashgiach in a yeshivah ketanah in Be'er Sheva, where they had moved after their wedding. Mira was a preschool teacher, but on a rotating basis, which meant she was busy only three days a week. The rest of her time was free, more or less.
That morning, she'd gone out to the grocery; or was it the post office? The details weren't really so relevant anymore. The only relevant thing was that when she came back, she found a little girl sitting on the brick wall outside their building. She had an open container of baby formula at her side, and she was digging handfuls of powder out of the box and pouring them into her mouth. The scene was so strange, that Mira must have stared at her a few seconds longer than was appropriate. The girl smiled at Mira, her lips white from the powder, and said, "It's yummy." And despite the brevity of the sentence, it was clear that the girl had a heavy Russian accent.
"Seven and a half." And once again, she stuck her fingers into the box of powder.
"Sometimes at lunchtime I also eat cookies, if I want." Her Hebrew was excellent.
Mira swallowed. "And what does she eat?" she asked, trying to sound casual.
"Where do you live?" Mira expected the girl to point to one of the prefab buildings down the road. She knew that lots of Russian immigrants lived in those housing projects.
From where they were standing, Mira couldn't see which house she meant and wondered if the girl meant one of the modern, spacious homes that had been built there over the last half a year.
"Nonsense," was the polite reply.
Mira smiled, shifted the bag she was holding back to her right hand, and walked into her building. As she began climbing the stairs, she heard footsteps behind her. When she turned around, she saw that the girl had followed. She smiled to herself and turned back to the stairs. The girl followed her to the third floor.
And that was how Mira got to know Anna.
He didn't know how much was being paid for him to get this room and the privilege of being alone. He just knew that without this, there would be no chance of him surviving here. The first week and a half in a shared cell, and the few subsequent encounters after that, had been enough to make it clear that he could not live in another cell with all the others.
"Zhid." Just that regular call was enough to send the chills down his spine each time he heard it. He didn't know if the wardens here meant to insult him particularly, or if it was just what he was in their eyes, but "Zhid" had horrible connotations.
From another cell, a prisoner began singing loudly; the warden's call must have inspired him. Shlomo didn't understand a word aside for the term "Zhid" that kept repeating itself in the song. He knew this tune; each time he was taken out of his cell and came face to face with some of the other prisoners, he heard it. And it didn't sound like the words expressed lots of admiration or appreciation for the Jewish nation.
"Da," he replied obediently. The warden, who didn't know a word of Hebrew or English, opened the bars on the window in the door and threw a torn package inside. He stuck in a yellow pad with a pen; Shlomo already knew where he was supposed to sign his name. The warden said something in Russian, took back the pad and pen, and with a slam, locked the bars again.
Shlomo picked up the small package, a box inside a torn black bag, and sat down on the mattress in the corner. He knew he was fortunate. His two lawyers were doing whatever they could to ease the terms of his incarceration here at Lefortovo, the notorious prison, and it could be said that they were being successful. During the days of the NKVD and the KGB, political prisoners were kept here, and they endured interrogations and torture. Masses of opponents to the Soviet regime, among them many prisoners of Zion, knew this place well. Shlomo imagined that if they would have been told then how his days looked here now, they would not have been able to comprehend such a reality. A cell alone, without anti-Semitic cellmates? Kosher food three times a day? Just a few interrogations that included "mere" screaming, but no beatings or worse? An entire mattress, and a pretty thick one at that, with a sheet and blanket that he had gotten from the outside?
He met with his lawyers at least once a week, which served as his only connection to the normal world that continued to exist beyond the walls of the prison. Sometimes, he returned to his cell in a good mood. Other times, he felt very dejected; it depended on what they had said about any progress or preparations for the trial, his chances for things going this way or that, and dozens of other things that he'd never known about firsthand.
He? Shlomo Struk, detained in a Russian prison?
He thanked Hashem for everything, because he had also read stories about imprisonment in Russia years ago, and he knew very well that even today, his life could have been very different if not for the intense work of his lawyers and the local frum community.
But that didn't mean it was easy for him.
It was hard, so hard that it was suffocating.

Michael Pollan is a preeminent journalist and author in the food and agriculture world and in Cooked he walks us through different food categories and processes but his main argument is that we need to reestablish our intimate relationships with food.
A very intimate take on food which was both fun to read and informative. Very important to maintain our close relationship with food as it builds not only our health but our relationships too.

Tired of your foundation not matching? Frustrated with your make-up fading throughout the day? The cause of these problems and more could be from expired make-up. Women of the Valley can toss out their old beauty products for a chance to win a year of beauty. Zethina Cosmetics & Skin Care is using their one-year anniversary at the Citadelle Shopping Plaza in Glendale to help customers realize the importance of throwing away expired make-up and discover the fine line between the right and wrong shades for their skin.
Beginning Wednesday, October 1st, Zethina Cosmetics is encouraging customers to bring in their expired make-up to the store and start taking steps toward healthier skin. Nine out of 10 women are currently using products that are past the expiration dates. The out-of-date products are warned to be a "hothouse" for bacteria, according to experts for the College of Optometrists.
"I have some women who have been using the same tube of lipstick for three or four years because it is their favorite color," said Zethina Haehl, owner of Zethina Cosmetics and Skin Care. "They don't realize they are carrying years worth of germs on their expired make-up.
The collection of expired make-up will end on Saturday, Oct. 25 with Zethina Cosmetic's One-Year Anniversary. On the day of the party, customers will be able to guess the number of discarded pieces of make-up that were collected throughout the month with the hopes of winning $2,500 worth products, spa services and make-up. Every customer who participates in the make-up return will receive a V.I.P. pass for the party and receive a free on-the-spot consultation, one extra guess toward the grand prize, plus an additional 10 percent off all products on the day of the anniversary.
The public is welcome to the celebration from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the Citadelle Shopping Center located at 19420 North 59th Avenue E-510 Glendale AZ 85308. Light refreshments will be provided along with store-wide sales. Free services will include: brow waxing, hand treatment, make-up consultation with complementary make-up matching, polish change and chair massages.
Zethina Haehl has been a professional make-up artist, TV personality and business woman in Arizona for 18 years. Zethina can currently be seen regularly on ABC 15's Sonoran Living Live and has worked with major TV and Cable shows on ABC, CBS, NBC, MTV, VH1 and the Today Show. Her work has been featured in numerous national publications, including W and Seventeen, Phoenix Magazine, Bride and Modern Bride. Clients include Pink, Tori Amos, Jane Seymour, Lisa Ling and more . Zethina has always aspired to create a make-up line that would out perform any other on the market and stand up to the high expectations she holds for herself and her clientele. After years of research and product development Zethina Cosmetics was born. A new store was opened in October of 2007 including spa services to ensure her clients were receiving the best in skin care services and products.

A Vancouver sex agreement; behind the scenes of a film grip's casual relationship
Home/Spicy Stories/A Vancouver sex agreement; behind the scenes of a film grip's casual relationship
When I was 25 years old, I was living in Vancouver, Canada. I was working on many film projects in the area, and life was going really well. Vancouver is a major film capitol of the Northwest, and was named the Hollywood of the north. I was lucky enough to be on a crew that was helping with the new "Tron legacy" movie a few years back. While in ways it was glamorous and wonderful; it was definitely strenuous. I was a powerful woman who enjoyed feeling sexy and commanding, overseeing about 7 animators that were the cream of the crop in the industry. We were working long hours and not staying permanently, most of us were from LA, San Diego and New York. I treated everyone well, but tried hard to command a powerful and sexy presence.
All of the animators under me were men; and all but just one of them was cute. I did not have a boyfriend back at home and just wanted to meet somebody here in Vancouver, badly. As production time really started to heat up and we were in demand, I was satisfied with all the guys' work, but some of the directors were rejecting some of our well done animated frames. I had to parade in front of the guys and act demanding on behalf of the client; and I did not enjoy it. However, I was wearing a sexy slit skirt and my long black hair flowed down my white top on the sides and back. I demanded that we must be working longer hours, and really leaned forward towards the conference table and showed some cleavage.
Well, another man working on the team named Mike really noticed my body and cleavage leaning forward and stayed after the meeting to ask particulars. He basically just asked about particulars like if we really had to quality control all of the material, and at the end of his tirade, looked down nervously; I knew that he just wanted to spend time with me alone in a room. I wasted no time, and locked the conference room door. Mike was about 3 years older than me and had bleached blonde hair, a talented animator and pulled his share of the workload all of the time. I cut right to the chase, sat facing front on his lap, and kissed him for a very long time. He responded by putting both of his hands on my ass where I wanted them. He raised my skirt, and did not even take off the vest part of my outer blouse. He turned me around, pulled my panties down and reached two fingers around my right side. He got me wet quickly with his finger, and after awhile jammed his cock in me doggy style and lifted me quickly up and down from behind.
I could feel myself pulsating up and down and my neck getting warm as Mike thrust inside of me. I was not even that mean to him during the meeting, he just fed intensely off my caffeine induced stress ride and need for sex in a new city. The situation was very strange for me because I had wanted to ride on top of him, and instead he turned me around quickly, lifted up my skirt and fucked me from behind. After about five or six minutes he came, and pulled himself out of me. I caught my breath and sat on another chair with my hand on my forehead. We both agreed that this had to go on, but due to the nature of our business, had to be secret. We both being very well read knew that sex agreements were one way to keep things a secret, and let each other know that we wanted to do this frequently, to relieve tension.
We met in the break room one rainy night in the post production studio, and the two of us never even had sex together at our respective apartments. We quickly outlined in our sex agreement that this was to be kept under wraps, a definite secret while in Vancouver doing the big movie together. Since I was a manager, I had keys to areas where him and I could safely have sex. We also outlined in our sex agreement that this was going to be completely casual with no attachments, and that we would have sex on every third day at the studio. Sometimes just because our urges were very human, we would give up and ravish each other on the second day. Mike and I's sex agreement worked out incredibly well, and as you all know, the movie we were working on worked out very well too. There was really no other time in my life where I had felt such instant attraction; Mike and I had a lot of sex in that Vancouver studio house.
I guess plenty of times that happens in show business; and our agreement really helped us. We almost got caught a few times in the act, but that was part of the danger. Mike never told any co workers about our agreement. I respect him for that, and haven't talked to him for awhile. But during our agreement together I sucked his cock many times and fucked him many more; so I have to say our agreement was of the utmost top caliber!

Parliament pays homage to freedom fighters on Quit India Day, hail Olympiads
Aug 9, 2021, 12:03 pm IST
in Bharat
Nirendra Dev
Parliament lauded the performance of Gold medalist Neeraj Chopra and others for their performance at the Tokyo Olympics; paid homage to freedom fighters on the occasion of the Quit India Movement anniversary.
New Delhi: Both the Houses of Parliament on Monday (August 9) paid rich homage to freedom fighters on the occasion of the Quit India Movement anniversary.
Parliament also lauded the performance of Gold medalist Neeraj Chopra and others for their exemplary performance at the just concluded Tokyo Olympics with thumping of desks.
On August 9, 1942, the Quit India Movement was launched under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, which resulted in freedom of the country from British rule a few years later, on August 15, 1947.
In Lok Sabha, Speaker Om Birla said the launch of The Quit India Movement was an important feature of India's freedom struggle.
"On this occasion we pay homage to Mahatma Gandhi and other martyrs," he said, adding the day should inspire every citizen to work for the unity and progress of the country.
"We should also rededicate ourselves to the principles of those great leaders," he said.
"In Rajya Sabha, chairperson and Vice President of India, M Venkaiah Naidu recalled Mahatma Gandhi's 'Karo ya Moro' slogan. He said soon after the movement's launch, the Britishers realised it would be difficult for them to continue their rule in India."
The spirit of the Quit India Movement should guide us to eradicate inequality, illiteracy, corruption, casteism, communalism and criminalities, he said.
In reference to India's record performance in Tokyo Olympics, Lok Sabha Speaker said, "India won 7 medals this time including one gold, two silver and four bronze. Till today, this is India's best performance."
"I am confident the performance of Indian players in the Tokyo Olympics will give a new booster to the younger generation," Mr Birla said.
Rajya Sabha chairperson Mr Naidu described India's achievements in the Olympics as "commendable."
"The Tokyo Games turned out to be the best Olympic moment for our nation," he said.
Mr Naidu said Neeraj Chopra's milestone was in effect a 'statement' that "we too can do it".
"The number of medals in the Olympics do matter as they reflect sporting prowess of many nations and the medals also add to the global perception of emerging economies," the RS chairperson said.
He expressed hope that henceforth Indian sports personalities would develop a "habit of winning".
Mr Naidu also lauded the existing sports facilities in Punjab and Haryana and said other states should emulate them.

ELENI KOLAITOU SCULPTURE 1995 - 2017
Apr 15, 2017 to Nov 15, 2018
This is a permanent exhibition which takes place at all four AK spaces and presents a collection of sculptures created between 1995 and 2014. Eleni Kolaitou displays her sculptural compositions inspired by the human figure, as well as those of birds, animals and insects, using bronze and gold for her jewelry collection. The exhibition also includes a series of purely formalist clay pieces. In her bronze works, the artist explores how human and animal shapes embody the essence of morphology in nature, thus revealing the deeper meaning of their fundamental form. Through abstraction and synthesis of the morphological elements afforded by nature, Kolaitou's sculptures illustrate the aesthetic version of these elements. Her nudes, for example, do not stop at the depiction of man's external appearance, but delve into the expression of formalist structures, which endow the bodies with aesthetic appeal and substance. The advanced level of formalist enquiry in the artist's works makes her art unique and particularly fascinating, as well as highly collectible. With her profound experience of materials and their divergences in terms of volume and colour, Kolaitou ultimately arrives at a form which she has termed a "Contre-Objet d' Art".
Eleni Kolaitou, a highly lauded Greek sculptor, consistently arouses the visitor's aesthetic interest and awareness through her sophisticated creations in bronze, ceramic and gold. Also, in collaboration with Katonas Asimis, she contributed to the architectural design and creation of the AK Art Foundation.
In her sculptures, the classical forms meet modernism head on through a personal conception of plasticity and the harmonious marriage between different elements.
Eleni Kolaitou was born in Cephalonia. She studied Sculpture and Ceramics on a scholarship at the Athens School of Fine Arts. Later, while seeking new artistic forms of expression, she delved into the techniques of creating metal jewelry. Selecting gold as a material of extraordinary properties, and utilizing the infinite range of colour afforded by precious stones, she is a jewelry maker famous for the finesse and timelessness of her works.
In our days, it is a rare and unexpected pleasure to taste the fruits of the labour of a sculptor whose artistic perception is deeply rooted in sculpture's classical principles, which infuse her work with true substance and meaning. Beyond the contemporary essence of her creations, Eleni Kolaitou demonstrates a profound understanding of the distinct elements present in her works and forges relationships of harmony between them. Her extensive experience has allowed her to develop her own codes, which are founded on the classical notions of plasticity and harmony in sculpture. Thus, the sculpted form acquires immense power and simplicity, and this is what renders the artist's creations so imaginative; her insistence on enduring standards of proportionality. For this reason, her works illuminate a solid perception of the essence of things, as well as the priceless and classic nature of aesthetic beauty.
Her works grace collections around the world, and she is highly valued as a very important representative of the Greek fine arts. Her large scale creations are located at the AK Art Foundation exterior space, where the visitor can also enjoy her world-renowned 22-carat gold handmade jewelry collection. Each piece of this collection is an exclusive creation, designed and handcrafted individually by the artist herself.

Up until this weekend, my appetite has been pretty normal. As a Paleo eater, it wasn't unusual to do an occasional IF (intermittent fast) just because I wasn't hungry. Eating nutrient-dense foods tends to keep food volume consumption down and hunger at bay.
So I have found my sudden, ravenous hunger rather annoying. To make things worse, my body doesn't seem to want to digest food properly, causing much distress. It's enough to make anyone cranky.
So why is it that family members must tempt the beast by demanding the rest of what I am eating? Really. Whatever I have, they want – all of it. This could get dangerous! They took my eggs, sardines, dill pickles and mint chip (coconut milk) ice cream. I was shocked at their insistence and greed. Of course, they haven't seen anything yet – at least my son hasn't. Hubbs vaguely remembers what it was like when I was pregnant with said son nine years ago. And he still took my food. Oy.

Jacinda Ardern's Victory Reminds Us To Have Hope
By: Rahem Hamid — Senior Political Correspondent
US residents woke on Saturday morning to the news that New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern had won a sweeping re-election victory. The Labour Party is on track to win 64 seats in New Zealand's 120 seat Parliament, the first time ever since the country switched to a mixed-member proportional parliamentary system in 1996. The election was pushed back one month after New Zealand grappled with COVID-19. Initially, Ardern's odds looked to be much closer to that of the opposition National Party's Judith Collins.
Ardern skyrocketed to international attention following her election as New Zealand's Prime Minister in 2017. Elected at just age 37, she was the world's youngest female head of state. Following the birth of her daughter Neve in 2018, Ardern became only the second elected head of state in history to give birth while in office, the first being then Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, who gave birth while in office in 1990.
But it was her actions in office that demonstrated the strong and compassionate leadership that defined her relatively successful first term. Ardern faced tremendous national tragedies and difficulties in her first three years. In 2019, New Zealand suffered the deadliest terror attack in its history, when a white supremacist opened fire in Al Noor Mosque in Christchurch. 51 worshipers were killed. The empathy, strength, and resolve that Ardern projected to the people of New Zealand and the world was fitting of one of the world's finest leaders. By mid-April, just weeks after the attack, Ardern pushed through a total reform of gun laws in the country.
Ardern's immediate response to COVID-19 earned widespread praise from across the globe. Her quick move to implement restrictive lockdowns across the country no doubt saved countless lives. To date, the WHO notes that New Zealand has reported only 25 COVID-19 deaths and just 1,531 cases. This is in stark contrast to the more than 8 million cases in the US, the ~7.5 million in India, and the ~5.2 million in Brazil. The country has, for the most part, returned to normal. Without a doubt, the leadership of Jacinda Ardern and her government are those we must credit.
Of course, Ardern is not a perfect world leader. Critics note, correctly, that she has not fulfilled all of her campaign promises. News outlets note that child poverty is still a problem, housing is not extremely affordable, and there exists a slew of other things left for Ardern and her new government to tackle. But Ardern's electoral victory shows the world that right-wing nationalism, populist theatrics, and hard-line views have met their match in New Zealand. Judith Collins is none of those things, not by a long shot. But Ardern can't reasonably be accused of any of them – and so her victory tells a world striving for democracy, peace, and moderation, that all is not lost. In a world filled with political division, disagreement, and dangerous polarization, reasonability is still valued.
The United States has much to learn from New Zealand politics. Journalist Karen Sweeney tweeted on election night a picture of two opposing candidates with the message "Only in NZ could you call to concede, get invited to your opponent's party for a beer, and show up". Such respect for the other side is what we are lacking. Ardern's victory, and New Zealand politics at large, tell us that sanity and decency will still prevail. Ardern's victory reminds us that qualification and effective governance still dominate. There is hope in the world today.
Ardern had said she would quit politics if she had lost this election. The country of New Zealand has perhaps made its best political decision in recent years by re-electing their Prime Minister, Ms. Jacinda Ardern.

Mets: If Jeurys Familia was anyone else, we might have a little more faith in him
By Tim Boyle
WASHINGTON, DC - SEPTEMBER 05: Jeurys Familia #27 of the New York Mets pitches during a baseball game against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park on September 5, 2019 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Mitchell Layton/Getty Images)
New York Mets fans may feel differently about Jeurys Familia if they weren't so familiar with his shortcomings.
Because Jeurys Familia is who he is, I think a majority of New York Mets fans have little faith in the veteran reliever putting together a better year in 2020. The longtime Mets relief pitcher and former closer put together a dreadfully painful 2019 campaign, removing a lot of belief that he'll have any chance of living up to his contract.
All but 30 of Familia's regular season games at the MLB level have taken place as a member of Mets. Aside from the end of the 2018 season when he was dealt to the Oakland Athletics, he has been a Mets lifer.
Despite coming up through the system and giving the team three great seasons including two as the closer, there's plenty of doubt about his abilities going forward. If he was anyone else, I think more people would have faith in a bounce back year.

Think of it this way—if Mets fans didn't see him implode in the postseason up close, there wouldn't be that painful memory so close to home.
Familia is still only 30 and has just one bad year on his resume. Unfortunately, the year came in his most recent season. We have yet to clean the bad taste out of our mouth.
From 2014-2016, Familia was one of the best relievers in baseball. He first caught our eye in 2014 with a 2.21 ERA season before further cementing his spot in franchise history as the closer with a better 1.85 ERA in 2015. That same year, now the full-time closer, he saved 43 games.
Just one season later, Familia led the league with 51 saves. He also set a franchise record even with his ERA creeping up to a still respectable 2.55 ERA.
This three-year period for Familia was phenomenal. And yet, only a few seasons later with a solid 2018 season also in the past, we're left wondering what he has left.
There are some major differences between Familia in his peak seasons and what made him a punching bag last year. Most notably, it's the home runs he allowed.
Familia surrendered only a single home run in 2016 in 77.2 innings of work. You wouldn't believe it if you only saw him pitch in 2019, but keeping the ball in the yard was a strength of his early on. Even now he has averaged only 0.5 per nine innings. In 2019, it was at an atypical 1.1 per nine.
The issue many have with Familia isn't the number of home runs he has allowed. Even at his best, it was the high walk totals that made him what many thought of as the new Armando Benitez. Familia never shied away from issuing free passes, currently sitting at a career total of four per nine innings of work.
Something happens when a player enters free agency and you haven't suffered with them on your team. You start to believe things like "a change of scenery could help him turn things around" or you blindly believe he's better than he actually is.
With Familia, Mets fans know exactly what he is. He was a good pitcher who unfortunately landed on the wrong end of two terrible postseason moments and a few shaky regular season outings.

Young Americans Face a Stark Employment Picture
Amanda Alix, The Motley Fool
The Great Recession has taken its toll on working Americans in all age groups, but has hit the young especially hard. Instead of heading out into a world full of job opportunities and promise, young people are finding themselves in a category that sports the highest unemployment rate in the country.
Job opportunities decrease for the youngest workers
You might expect the chances of landing work to decrease with age, but for the youngest of workers, the exact opposite is true, as the latest data clearly shows:
Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Prospects are dimmer than ever
The 22.7% unemployment rate for those aged 16 to 19 years is a little more palatable when you consider that most people in this age group are likely still in high school, though working or wanting to work. Overall, the jobless rate for 16 to 24 year olds is 16.3% in July 2013, which is 2.3% higher than the rate reported by BLS in the summer of 2008. Obviously, things have gotten quite a bit worse since the onset of the recession.
Taking a look at the next age bracket, 20 to 24 years, is still pretty dismal, with an unemployment rate of 13% -- and occurring during the exact timespan when most college graduates or graduates-to-be are looking to put their college diplomas to good use.
Speaking of college diplomas, the employment status of persons with and without that piece of paper is pretty astounding. As of this August, those armed with only a high school degree belong to a group with 7.6% jobless rate, a smidge above the official, national rate for all persons of 7.3%. That's a whole lot better than job seekers who lack proof of high school graduation, though -- a group that currently registers a jobless rate of 11.3%.
Some college or a two-year degree will net you an unemployment rate of 6.1%, but four years or more of higher education -- with diploma -- puts you in league with employees with a minimal rate of 3.5%.
Financial independence: difficult for Millennials
Despite the better chances that a college degree affords job hunters, twenty-something workers, part of the "Millennial" generation, are still finding it difficult to assert themselves financially. The Pew Research Center noted last month that census data shows 36% of those aged 18 to 31 years still live with their parents. Not surprisingly, one of the key reasons for this phenomenon is higher rates of unemployment.
Worse still, twenty-somethings see themselves as losing ground when it comes to becoming financially independent. A survey by PNC Financial shows that of the 20- to 29-year-olds responding to the poll, 12% more see themselves as behind their personal goals regarding success than did two years ago. Compared to the 24% that responded in the affirmative in 2011, only 17% now consider themselves ahead of these expectations.
A chilling view of the future
A whole generation is being held back by the lack of employment opportunities, and the economy will continue to suffer as a result. It doesn't seem likely that people who cannot pay rent will be spending much money to get the economy going, never mind setting up retirement accounts or investing in the stock market.
The pain being felt now will reverberate for years, as well. The Center for American Progress estimates that a six-month jobless stint translates into lost income of $45,000 when the actual wages lost, as well as the catch-up time needed once employment is procured, are figured in.
It's a disturbing thought, but it is certain that everyone will suffer when the youngest group of workers can't find employment. From Social Security recipients to taxpayers, to corporations and their investors -- no one will be left untouched.
Though employers still claim to be unsure of an economic recovery, using some of the big profits they made during the Great Recession and its aftermath to begin hiring again will give the economy the jolt it needs -- as well as supply a new generation of workers with the confidence and wherewithal to pursue their dream of financial independence.
It's never too late to plan for the future
Dividend stocks can make you rich. It's as simple as that. While they don't garner the notoriety of high-flying growth stocks, they're also less likely to crash and burn. And over the long term, the compounding effect of the quarterly payouts, as well as their growth, adds up faster than most investors imagine. With this in mind, our analysts sat down to identify the absolute best of the best when it comes to rock-solid dividend stocks, drawing up a list in this free report of nine that fit the bill.

Inferring from the passage, which of the following constituted an ethical justification for SWIFT complying with the government?
The important quote from the passage is: "cooperating with the government did not explicitly violate any SWIFT policies due to the presence of a valid subpoena"
An ethical argument for SWIFT complying is that the data are located in Virginia. This does not mean (and it would be wildly improper to conclude) that all the data pertains to U.S. citizens. The article implies that SWIFT deals with the financial information of people in the international community. Further, the article does not explicitly say that the U.S. government wanted information about its citizens.
The passage states that we cannot answer the following question: "what, if any, potentially impending threats did the government present to justify its need for data?" Given the inability to answer this, there are no grounds to conclude that SWIFT executives believed another attack was imminent.
This answer closely restates the third reason given for complying. Since the article makes clear that the government presented a valid subpoena, the data the government sought resided in the U.S., and complying with such subpoenas did not violate SWIFT policy, this answer is correct.
The passage states the opposite, noting that one unanswered question was: "What promises did the government make about data confidentially?"
The passage never mentions that SWIFT received information about why data were being subpoenaed. In fact, we can infer that SWIFT likely did not based upon the fact that one remaining unanswered question was: "What, if any, potentially impending threats did the government present to justify its need for data?"

Pope Francis speaks to bishops in Philadelphia Sept. 17, 2015. Credit: EWTN/Screenshot.
Philadelphia, Pa., Sep 27, 2015 / 07:53 am ().- Pope Francis this morning met with 5 survivors of sexual abuse during his visit to Philadelphia, telling bishops afterward that the evil acts can no longer remain in silence, and promised his personal vigilance in protecting minors.
"The stories of suffering and pain of minors who were sexually abused by priests have aggravated my heart," Pope Francis told bishops participating in the World Meeting of Families Sept. 27.
Pope Francis met with the abuse survivors for close to a half-hour between 8-9a.m. before meeting with bishops gathered in Philadelphia for the World Meeting of Families.
According to a Sept. 27 communique from the Vatican, among the 5 survivors who participated were three women and two men, all of whom had been abused in childhood either by members of the clergy, family members or educators.
Each of the survivors were accompanied either by a family member or person of support.
Also present in the meeting were Cardinal Sean Patrick O'Malley, archbishop of Boston and president of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia, and Bishop Michael Fitzgerald, who is in charge of the Philadelphia diocese's Office for the Protection of Minors.
During the encounter Pope Francis listened to the testimonies of the survivors and spoke a few words to them all together before greeting each one individually.
He prayed with them and expressed his participation in their suffering, as well as his pain and shame, particularly in the cases where the injury was caused by members of the clergy or Church employees.
The Pope then renewed his commitment and that of the Church to ensuring that all victims are heard and treated with justice, the guilty are punished, and that the crimes of abuse are combated with an effective prevention in the Church and in society.
Francis thanked the victims for their essential role in restoring the truth and in beginning the journey of healing. The meeting closed with Pope Francis giving his blessing.

Automotive News: Pontiac G8 Might Survive?
Despite GM CEO Fritz Henderson saying "no chance" at a Pontiac G8 rebranded for Chevy, Buick or any other GM brand, Automotive News today reports GM's Tom Stephens claiming the G8 sedan "might survive with another GM badge." Wait, what?
"I know there's still discussions on it," says Stephens. "But Chevrolet already has several sedans. How many sedans do you need to cover the waterfront?"
Hmm, that reads more to us like "I know enthusiasts are discussing this, but we're not going to be doing it." There aren't any more sources they're quoting in today's piece.

Q: Removing a primary key but keeping foreign key? Before anyone says this is a duplicate question and down-votes: I know how to solve the issue but I would like the advice on which is the best way to go about it.
I have made a booking system, where employees can create bookings. The employees table has a primary key of their clock number, this is a foreign key in the bookings table because employees can only delete their own bookings unless they are an administrator.
Now the problem occurs when I want to remove an employee, but they have made 1 or more bookings in the system, obviously as I'm deleting the 'parent' the 'child' will want to be removed as well but I need to keep the entire history of bookings.
The solutions I have is to remove the foreign key constraint in the bookings table, so there is still a clock number but not a foreign key. Or to set something up with ON CASCADE NULL feature?
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Employees](
    [ClockNo] [int] NOT NULL,
    [Forename] [varchar](20) NOT NULL,
    [Surname] [varchar](20) NOT NULL,
    [Email] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
    [Department] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
    [IsAdmin] [bit] NOT NULL,
    [Password] [varchar](max) NOT NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_Employees] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
    [ClockNo] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Bookings](
    [InvoiceNo] [varchar](40) NOT NULL,
    [ClockNo] [int] NOT NULL,
    [GateNo] [smallint] NOT NULL,
    [TruckNo] [smallint] NOT NULL,
    [StartTime] [datetime] NOT NULL,
    [EndTime] [datetime] NOT NULL,
    [Status] [varchar](20) NOT NULL,
    [Seal] [varchar](40) NULL,
    [ContainerNo] [varchar](40) NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_Bookings] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
    [InvoiceNo] ASC,
    [GateNo] ASC,
    [StartTime] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]

If there is a way without doing any of these things that would be great, as I would like the clock number to stay even if the employee has been removed so we can see who had made the booking, even if they no longer work for us

A: Best approach would be to have a flag in the Employee table as isDeleted and use that flag to maintain deleted employees. That way you will have records of all the orders of the deleted employees as well

It is built certainly through major economic and political orientations (democratic alterations in more and more countries, dynamism of growth), but it also passes through almost imperceptible changes in African societies.
AFRICA – The Africa of tomorrow is built certainly through major economic and political orientations (democratic alterations in more and more countries, dynamism of growth), but it also passes through almost imperceptible changes in African societies. As such, the craze of the continent for mobile telephony reflects a true revolution and a clear desire on the part of Africans to be "connected".
The mobile phone has revolutionized everyday life in Africa. Since the turn of the millennium, within a generation, the number of "small carriers" of mobile communication has increased from 20 million to nearly 600 million on a continent that today has thirty times more mobile than fixed lines. This big leap forward is doubly surprising: first, for once, technology has really helped to "skip the steps"; second, the poorest population in the world has invested primarily in communication. There are, perhaps, lessons to be learned.
Why, from the moment their survival is assured, do poor people spend their money to communicate?
A priori , it is assumed that they would rather seek treatment, better housing or to train more to climb the social ladder through the anabolic that is education. But in reality, the laptop has supplanted emergencies that would be more vital than the need to phone. In other words, the priorities of the needy are not so obvious. We must make an effort to understand that for them, the return on a dollar invested in communication is greater than that of a dollar invested in health or education. Remember that this sum, quite derisory for us, represents for many Africans a day of their life, a turn of the dial in expenses.
The call for help is priceless and, at the end of the cell phone, the "live" control of voting operations is more for democracy in Africa than all transparent ballot boxes sent from abroad.
However, south of the Sahara, nothing is more solidly shared than power cuts and other power cuts: from Senegal to South Africa, passing (almost) everywhere, the machines strangled, the lights s' faint, refrigerators shake and fans flutter at any time of day and night. At the point where "black" Africa seems to designate a disconnected subcontinent.
In English-speaking countries, word games can not be counted on the power – both electricity and power – which, decidedly, eludes the people.
Is it not time to recognize that people are rarely mistaken about their most basic needs?
I know it's frowned upon to make fun of charity, which often starts with hospital and school. But by spending their own money, which is at least counted, the poorest reveal other priorities. For them, the energy and the communication routes – the road, the railway, the boats, the plane, the telephone and, more and more, the internet – are their most precious assets.
Africans want their country to "turn around" and to be able to join easily and reach the outside world, from the nearest city to the most distant alien through the capital. In short, they want to be "connected", without any snobbery.
Who could give them wrong?
The world being what it is, to be big and open, investing in education in Africa is, if successful, to provide skilled labor to the richest countries, where life is good . The "brain drain" is a reality.
Let's look around: the best trained Africans are our neighbors, always quick to remind us that their "brothers in the country" are suffering for lack of school and health care.
That's not what the people themselves say. Those who remain know well that the knowledge to get out is not learned on the school-unless "to get by" means to go to the West. They also know that in the hospital we only repair what we would do better not to break at first, namely the little people like them. For that to happen, the country must turn and have their products and information circulating.
No, I'm not an ambulance gunner! I only stick my ear to the ground and try to learn from the mistakes of the past. For a long time, believing themselves to be smarter than everyone else, the "developers" praised the African village – idealized – while the cities of the continent did not stop inflating.
Today, the urbanization of Africa is a fait accompli but poorly lived in inadequate infrastructure. Would not it have been better to trust the interested parties, who knew why they were clinging, no matter what, even to megacities such as Lagos, Kinshasa or Johannesburg?
As tenuous as it is, the chance to be "in the know" in the city is better than the certainty of sticking to the glebe. In the same way, now, it should be clear that the future of Africa is not played in classrooms or waiting rooms.
Of course, school and hospital are essential. But Africa spends her life on the phone.

Hi! Yesterday was Valentine's Day and husband offered to take me out for dinner. I was not up to it but still went ahead. But before going out, I quickly baked this cake in the evening. This is a hassle free cake and takes a few minutes of mixing and then a quarter hour of baking and it's ready to serve. My kid had it as an evening snack and also took it in his snack box to the school today and guess what? He did not even get a bite of it..but my kid was not unhappy as he knew there was more cake at home and also that he was also offered Maggi and Kraft's Macaroni in exchange.The greedy fellow happily exchanged his cake for those items.. .
The batter made for this cake is quite liquid 'y' so do not worry, the cake turns out well and you might observe a few cracks on top. One has to be just careful with the fruit and oil ratio as these add to the moistness of the cake. The cake gets ready anytime between 40-55mins. Mine was ready in 43mins, so one needs to be careful after 35mins. Do not open the oven till 35mins after that if the skewer inserted comes out clean, the cake is ready. I used a 12"Bundt pan to bake this cake, one can use any tin of their choice of this size.
Sending this cake to my event 'ONLY' Vegan Cooking hosted by PJ.
Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl ( APF, cocoa, soda, sugar) thoroughly.
Add the essence, oil and water and mix. Finally add the banana puree and give a final mix. Do not over mix. The batter has a very runny texture, do not worry.
Bake it in a greased pan at 180C, preheated for 15mins for 40-55mins.
Remove it gently on a cooling stand and cool.
*In case you want to add more banana, reduce the amount of oil in that proportion.
Sending the cake to my event 'ONLY' Baked Treats hosted by Kalyani.

Not even a single large inflatable turkey decoration is up, at least from what I've seen. Instead I'm seeing inflatable Santas popping up all over. Sure the spectacle of christmas lights in trees is nice, however it isn't Christmas, it isn't the time to set up these decorations. I wouldn't even be surprised if I saw a christmas tree market out in a parking lot within the next week.
One reason Christmas may start so early is because of the merchandising phenomenon called, 'Christmas Creep.' This is where retailers and marketers start to market and sell Christmas-themed products before the start of the Christmas season to try and maximize products. In first started in the United States in the 1980's and since then, it has seen tremendous success, at least supposedly considering that businesses keep on doing it.
From a purely business standpoint, the idea of marketing seasonal stuff early makes sense and offers great economic opportunity. However, from an outsider's point of view, it's very annoying and irritating.
During the month of November, I care about one thing and one thing alone, Thanksgiving and all of the good food that comes with it. Yet, at the store, all I see is Christmas decorations and all I hear is Christmas music on the radio. I don't care about Christmas in the month of November. It's like thinking about Halloween in January, it just doesn't make sense whatsoever.
That's not to say that Christmas is a bad holiday, far from it. Christmas is a time about family and a reflection on the year as a whole; twelve months, three-hundred and thirty four days (not including December), that you've endured and made countless decisions in. It's a time to look back on your year and to make a commitment to yourself to change for the next year, to be a better person that you're now. Even though not everyone holds to the commitment of trying something new on New Years, it still does matter in the scope of our society.
Thanksgiving is the time of year to reflect on everything that you have gratitude for that has happened in the past year. It's a time to look back on your year and to think about what had happened recently in your life and what you take the most pride in and have the most thankfulness for. It shouldn't be a time to look at Christmas decorations and be inspired to buy that funny-looking Santa figurine to add to your collection of weird-looking and unique tiny Santas. People need to focus on the here and now, they need to focus on the present. Focusing on the future and future events will just set people up for failure by getting their hopes up too high.


The Alabama Women's Hall of Fame honors the achievements of outstanding women from Alabama. Established in 1970, the first women were inducted the following year.
