Shafaq News/ On Wednesday evening, Barzani's headquarters issued a clarification regarding the position of Kurdish leader Massoud Barzani regarding the formation of the next government.
In a statement to his headquarters received by Shafaq News Agency, a number of media outlets published that (Kurdistan Democratic Party Chairman) Masoud Barzani had more than one different message that he conveyed to the leaders of the coordination framework regarding the political process and the candidates to head the next Iraqi government.
The statement added that he announces to the public opinion that these news is far from the truth and has no basis, stressing that in the political process in Iraq and the next government, the names of people and parties are not important for President Barzani, but rather is the implementation of the constitution and that the program of the next government be in accordance with the three principles balance, harmony and partnership,
Since the Sadrist bloc's representatives submitted their resignations from the Iraqi Council of Representatives and the withdrawal of the Sadrist movement's leader Muqtada al-Sadr from the political process, the coordinating framework has addressed the task of forming the new government and entered into internal negotiations and dialogues with other political forces, but until now it has not been officially announced that understandings have been reached between the two parties. The blocs lead to the formation of the government.

The leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Abd al-Salam Barwari, called for holding a session to elect the president of the republic, indicating that the candidate of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Barham Salih, has greater chances than our candidate Riber Ahmed in Parliament.
Berwari said in an interview with (Baghdad Today) that "Barham Salih's chances are greater than our candidate, but we do not mind the nomination of the two figures in Parliament."
He added, "The Democrat was the first to bless the election of Barham Salih, his victory in 2018, and he is still in the same sporting spirit."
He continued, "There are 31 candidates for the presidency of the republic. If one of the candidates does not obtain two-thirds of the council members in the first round, there will be competition in the second round between the two higher ones.

Lindsey Graham… the "global" senator with baffling vicissitudes
Reports & AnalyticsIraqAmericaKurdistan RegionbreakingLindsey Graham
Shafaq News/ Republican Senator Lindsey Graham is not a stranger to Iraq or to the affairs of the region, and his positions can be traced since his support for former US President George W. Bush's decision to invade Iraq in 2003, and his joy at the arrest of Saddam Hussein, all the way to his visit now to Baghdad and Erbil, where he stressed the aspiration of the states The United Nations aims to make Iraq a major player in the Middle East.
And it is not just a coincidence that Graham, before his meetings with the leaders of Iraq and the Kurdistan Region, including the Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, the President of the Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani, the Iraqi President Barham Salih and Parliament Speaker Muhammad Al-Halbousi, inspected the American forces stationed in Iraq and tweeted on "Twitter" with a picture of him surrounded To the American soldiers, he wished a happy American Independence Day on the 4th of July, and thanked them and American diplomats for their work to "protect and secure American interests around the world."
On his official website, Graham defines himself as "a fighter who does not hold back against a challenge, a conservative who gets things done, a leader who puts our country above all others, a great friend of our men and women who serve in uniform, and a respected voice on national security issues."
But these positive descriptions do not mean that Graham, who has been a senator from South Carolina for many years, and previously worked as a lawyer in the field of law before he stormed the political arenas, has a clear vision of what is going on in the region and the world, but rather to follow his positions, which he sometimes acts as. A global senator", often reflects incomprehensible fluctuations, and sometimes a departure from the norm in political work, such as his recent call for the assassination of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Sometimes he attacks Iran and urges it to "break its back", then calls for dialogue with it, and sometimes it attacks Turkey and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and leads bills to punish, isolate and denounce it, then goes out calling for understanding with it and taking its concerns and interests into account. Donald Trump is competing for the Republican Party's nomination, then withdraws and warns Americans not to vote for him, and then converge with him while he is in the White House and they play golf together, and now urges him to re-nominate himself for the US presidential elections in 2024.
Graham was also a military man who served in the armed forces, and for years he was stationed at American bases in Europe, and for this he always shows a prominent interest in American forces abroad, and his visits to them, including in Iraq, Syria and others, and he worked on congressional committees related to military affairs, and often He makes his say on foreign policy issues, gets hit several times, and blunders many times.
While he considers himself a bearer of the ideas of "Reagan Republicans", that is, former US President Ronald Reagan, and presents himself as a "conservative" and sharply opposes the left and liberal ideas, but at the same time, he is considered among the most cooperative members of the Senate with the partisan vote Between Democrats and Republicans, he may have reinforced the image around him that he is "volatile", or perhaps this is what the Machiavellian demands of political action, where there are no constants but interests.
For example, in June 2014, with the escalation and emergence of the threat of ISIS in Iraq, Graham urged Washington to hold direct talks with Iran on Iraq, arguing that Washington needed Iran's participation to prevent the collapse of the Iraqi government. Graham said, despite his extremist positions on Iran, that the step of American negotiations with Tehran is certainly unattractive, but it is inevitable, explaining that for the Iranians, they have an interest in that, they want to protect the Shiites, and therefore we need to talk to them in some way to establish stability in Iraq, and in order to ensure that Iran does not take advantage of the situation to occupy Iraqi lands.
Graham himself had issued a statement on December 14, 2003, in which he welcomed the arrest of Saddam Hussein in preparation for his accountability, considering that the greatest victor is the Iraqi people. His statement had a distinct moral aspect when he said that "the arrest of Saddam will lead to many breakthroughs in the reconstruction of Iraq, and it will be a truly tragedy if the governments that lent the money to Saddam now insist that the Iraqi people pay the debts of their oppressor… that any country insists on paying the debts of the people." The Iraqi bears his persecution, for he has trained him morally."
On the other hand, Graham, in June 2021, criticized the Joe Biden administration's openness to negotiation with Iran, saying that Tehran "manipulates him and seeks to turn the world into a hostage to it" by obtaining a nuclear bomb. That's when he said in an interview with the US "Fox News" channel that the Iranian regime is similar to the German Nazi regime, as the former was motivated by religious superiority, and the second was driven by ethnic superiority.
In highlighting his hard-line positions on Iran, in 2019, he proposed that the Trump administration destroy Iranian oil refineries, with the aim of "breaking the back of the regime."
Similar to his Iranian changes, Graham has also interesting changes around Turkey and Erdogan himself, sometimes over a similar period of time. For example, in October 2019, he made a move in Congress to introduce economic sanctions against Turkey against the backdrop of Erdogan's announcement of the start of the "Spring of Peace" operation. Commenting on Trump's decision to withdraw the US military force from northern Syria, he said three months later, he was on a visit to Ankara, "I told Trump that if we withdrew and did not do it correctly, we would have created a nightmare for Turkey.. (Former President Barack) Obama has created a nightmare for Turkey by arming the Syrian Democratic Forces, and Trump should be careful in withdrawing, and not leave this problem in Turkey's arms.
Although Graham has repeatedly stressed the importance of protecting and continuing US support for the Kurdish "partners" in the fight against ISIS and terrorism, he told "Fox News", that Turkey "will be forced to purge the armed terrorist elements in Syria. Some of these elements are from groups." Which we are arming!
Also, while Graham was raising his voice loudly against Trump's decision to withdraw the American force from the east of the Euphrates, considering that this means abandoning the Kurds and allowing Turkey to attack them, however, on October 20, 2019, he retracted his opposition and said that he is increasingly optimistic that this decision enhances the possibility of Obtaining historical solutions in Syria.
Graham was also an American opponent of the decision to withdraw the military from Afghanistan, which was taken in the first place by his "friend" Trump. In June, before the full US military withdrawal from this country became clear, Graham said, "It seems that the Biden administration is very stubborn to change course and has learned nothing from the withdrawal from Iraq and other bad adventures. As you can see in real time another chapter is being written in a book Joe Biden on the disasters of foreign policy…a very sad and dangerous chapter."
Among his most prominent controversial positions in the recent period, Graham called in his tweet on Twitter in the second week of the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, for the assassination of Putin, when he said, "It is clear that the world will be a better place if there is a regime change in Russia … Putin is a war criminal, he must go into the hands of the Russian people, by any means possible."
The US senator asked, "Is there Brutus in Russia? Is there a colonel in the Russian army more successful than Stauffenberg? It's the only way it will end, and someone in Russia will finish this man… You will do your country and the world a wonderful service," noting Thus, to Brutus, who killed the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar in the year 44 BC, and to the Nazi colonel Klaus Stauffenberg, who tried to assassinate the Nazi leader Hitler in the year 1944.
Graham prefers to describe himself as "independent" while more hard-line conservatives criticize him as a "moderate Republican", but he certainly considers himself a "Reagan Republican", or a Republican with a "touch of moderation".
In the context of these gray, opaque spaces in his career, Graham becomes available for the pleasure of navigating between positions and policies as required by his momentary vision or the overlapping interests behind the scenes of policy makers in Congress and the White House. But it is sometimes shocking: Although he is a senator representing the American electorate and a descendant of the legal work, he supported wiretapping of Americans in the post-9/11 era. He also supported the arbitrary arrests of security suspects, as the United States had done during World War II against Japanese and German residents.
But he is also a constant observer of political shifts outside the United States and behaves like a "global senator." And now, while Iraq faces the intertwined political challenge after the Sadrists' decision to withdraw from efforts to form a government and leave parliament, it lands in Iraq, moving between Baghdad and Erbil. On Tuesday, he was received by the President of the region, Nechirvan Barzani, in the presence of the US ambassador, Alina Romanowski, the commander of the international coalition forces, General John Brennan, and a number of diplomats and senior US officers.
According to a statement issued by the Presidency of the Region, the meeting dealt with the situation in Iraq and the political process in the country, the latest developments in the war on terrorism, Erbil-Baghdad relations, dialogue to solve problems between them, the situation in Syria and the Kurdish issue in it.
The statement stated that the two sides stressed the importance of maintaining security and stability in the region and agreed that the threat of terrorism and the re-emergence of ISIS is a real threat to the security and stability of Iraq and Syria.
President Nechirvan Barzani stressed that the key to stability and solving Iraq's problems is solving the problems of Erbil-Baghdad through dialogue and in accordance with the constitution.
Al-Kazemi also received the American senator, and the talks dealt with the new phase of security cooperation in the field of advice and capacity building for the Iraqi security forces after the end of the combat role of the American forces, as well as discussing the regional situation in general and the situation in Syria in particular, and what Iraq can contribute to achieving regional stability. In light of his growing role in this field.
Graham stressed the unlimited commitment to providing long-term assistance to Iraq, and enabling it to achieve its security, economic, and social priorities, explaining that the United States aspires for Iraq to be a major player in the Middle East, based on its strong democracy and economic reforms as a supportive factor for regional and international stability.

Legends of Rock: Stone Temple Pilots With Weiland
When I heard that Stone Temple Pilots (STP) joined forces with Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington, I couldn't see the fit. Bennington has his own style and Scott Weiland is an awesome showman with a loyal STP fan base.
I listened to STP in the 90s and they are one of my grunge era favorites. I loved the album Core and the song Creep was one of my favorite music videos of that time.
Weiland has known issues with drugs and I hope he can one day overcome his addictions.
He is a great songwriter and showman.
This merger thing with STP gives me mixed feelings since Bennington is a good singer and I like Linkin Park.
However, I don't agree with Bennington getting added to the STP name.
If your going to collaborate with someone new do not confuse or piss off your fan base, simply change your band name, after all it is a new project and sound.
The new STP five track EP titled High Rise will be released on October 8.
I did check out the new songs from STP's official website. The track "Out of Time" is ok but I didn't like the collaboration enough to download anything.
Weiland left STP before over tensions between the band and joined supergroup Velvet Revolver before reconciling back with STP in 2008.
According to an article from Los Angeles Times, the turmoil between Weiland and the rest of the band caused them to terminate him as their frontman back in February.
Weiland responded with:
"Not sure how I can be 'terminated' from a band that I founded, fronted and co-wrote many of its biggest hits, but that's something for the lawyers to figure out."
He further stated in the article:
"First of all they don't have the legal right to call themselves STP because I'm still a member of the band," he wrote on his website. "And more importantly, they don't have the ethical right to call themselves Stone Temple Pilots because it's misleading and dishonest to the millions of fans that have followed us for so many years."
I am on Weiland's side in that his former band mates are acting hasty and should walk away from the name, especially since they are writing new music with Bennington!
Weiland on the other hand is doing a Purple to the Core tour which is covering the music from STP's best albums Purple and Core but he is performing under his solo project Scott Weiland & The Wildabouts.
You can check out the latest tour dates from Weiland's site, www.scottweiland.com.
I have always raved that STP is one of the best concerts I have ever attended.
Weiland is an impressive frontman who is pretty tough to match. He has that quality about him where your eyes follow his every move and your waiting to see what he will do next.
I have seen STP twice in concert and the first time was in the summer of 1999.
I will never forget the first show which was for the No. 4 album.
Weiland come out shirtless in black pants doing his slither dance, at one point he came out draped only in the american flag which he dropped (on purpose) and then streaked off the stage. He interacted a lot with the fans and he even ran over to fans seated in the nosebleed section and performed a couple of songs.
They performed everything from the No 4. album and they also did all of their hits, Sex Type Thing, Vaseline, Plush, and Interstate Love Song.
I thought it was cool that they still played all of their hits. Usually a band will perform new material and then do a couple hits but STP truly performs for their fans and we love every minute of it!
I still like Linkin Park and Stone Temple Pilots separately but I wish both sides the best of luck.
I also hope the turmoil clears between Weiland and his former band mates.

The Character of Rogue Warrior
By Russ Pitts Legacy Author April 28, 2009
The hero slinks silently into a heavily guarded base. He is alone. He is heavily armed. He is not Sam Fisher.
"Aw, f*ck," the hero exclaims as he's hit with a bullet. And now the guards are alert and they've called in the special forces. They charge around corners and rappel through skylights, spraying the air with bullets from their AK-47s and screaming "Die Capitalist pig!"
Dick takes one look around and dives for cover. "Jesus f*cking Christ," he says.
The hero is legendary US Navy SEAL Richard "Demo Dick" Marcinko, former commander of SEAL Team 2 and the founder of both the Navy's elite counter-terrorism squad, SEAL Team 6 and the legendary "Red Cell" counter-terrorism unit. Marcinko served two tours of duty in Vietnam, was present for many covert events his country can't talk about and published a fictionalized version of his memoirs in the form of the best-selling Rogue Warrior series of novels. Dick swears like a sailor on a bad day, wears his hair in a pony tail and knows of more ways to kill a man than you even want to hear about. And now he has his own game, Rebellion's Rogue Warrior.
As the shooting intensifies, the music swells. It's a combination of every score from every bad action movie from the 80s you can remember. Dick, as played by Senior Producer Aaron Guy, takes cover, slinks silently around a cargo container and catches one of his enemies unaware. He initiates a kill move, rushing the guard and shoving him bodily over a railing and down a 100 foot drop. As the man falls he let's out a distinctly "Wilhelm-esque" death scream.
"We were not happy with the direction of where that project was three years ago," says Pete Hines, VP of PR and Marketing at Bethesda Softworks, publisher of Rogue Warrior. He's referring to the game's false start several years ago, when the company showed it to a handful of journalists and then listened to the crickets chirp.
Today in London, as Rogue Warrior Take Two is unveiled before a crowd of over 80 journalists form around the world, there are no crickets chirping. There's lots of cheering though, and laughter and a few Oohs and Ahhs.
Dick Marcinko is a "really interesting character," according to Hines, who's met the man. "[with Rogue Warrior] we wanted to capture his personality."
First step: Hire Mickey Rourke to do the voice acting.
"If you ask anybody to go into the jungle and kill a bunch of people, you'd pick Dick Marcincko," says Hines. "If you want a guy to play a guy who goes into the jungle to kill a bunch of people, you get Mickey Rourke."
"April fool, motherf*cker," Dick says in Mickey Rourke's trademark barfly voice as he sneaks up on another unsuspecting enemy and casually slits his throat, as easily as you'd open a letter.
For Rogue Warrior, the team at Rebellion spent years consulting with Marcinko the man to learn "his methods, his techniques," according to Senior Producer Sean Griffiths. "He's a seriously badass guy. He is the real life Rambo. The real life John McClane."
The set-up for the level we're watching Aaron play is straight-forward, and based in some small part of Marcinko's real-life experiences as a seriously badass guy working for the Navy: The Russians are trying to sneak a train full of missiles into North Korea. Dick must stop this from happening. In order to do so, he'll rely on "his usual techniques … basically blowing the sh*t out of everything."
"The game is 20% truth, 80% bullsh*t," says Griffiths, "which is kind of Dick's personality."
The game is still pre-alpha, so it's hard to say if what we're seeing today will be, in fact, what you get to play later this year, but it's damn entertaining to watch. Dick takes cover, his enemies evade, shoot back, try to outflank him and methodically attack his position. He has to be quick, accurate and deadly. He's a one-man army with a pony-tail and he can kill with his bare hands "to conserve bullets."
In the game's multiplayer mode, 16 players will face off against each other in a variety of game modes and the top player in each match will have the honor of wearing the "Dick Skin", practicing Marcinko's famous kill moves on his fellow player, pony tail swinging.
"We can't think of anything more fun," says Griffiths, "than stabbing your best mate in the balls."
Rebellion has clearly pulled out all the stops in capturing the soul of this legendary killing machine in game form, and the result is damn entertaining, if a bit graphic. But will it be any fun to play? Only time will tell.
Rogue Warrior will be available for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC in Q4 of 2009.

PUBLIC DEBATE
Bodies of Light
An event in the ANCB - Zumtobel Research: The City Lights Project
Bodies of Light is the first of four events within the ANCB Zumtobel Research entitled The City Lights Project. It seeks to explore current directions and future requirements regarding the city's light, while asking for the instruments to answer these - ideas that can engage directly in the transformative process of the built environment. It introduces two positions, from the fields of architecture and photography, by:
Peter Bialobrzeski, Photographer, Hamburg
Jan and Tim Edler, Architects, Directors realities:united, Berlin
After presenting their work, Dietmar Leyk, ANCB, will open a conversation revolving around the interdependency between the critical making of the city on one hand and the careful observing of the contemporary city on the other. Both the kinetic projects by realities:united, such as the communicative display skin for the Kunsthaus Graz, and Peter Bialobrzeski's unique series of photographs about the development of Asian mega-cities (Neon Tigers, Lost in Transition) and their slums (Case Study Homes) challenge the creation of relevant concepts for artificial light.
The City Lights Project: ANCB Zumtobel Research
Lighting is essential to a modern society. Lights have revolutionized the way we live and work. But basic expectations and requirements of the urban population have changed dramatically over the last 50 years. What does it mean to illuminate the city and its architecture today? Security, orientation and light pollution are only a few issues among many others which require new ideas for the use of artificial light. New technologies and shifts in values allow for a rethinking of urban lighting. This inquiry uncovers contemporary international projects relevant for the improvement of the future city. Included are not only lighting master plans (plans lumières) for the city in a larger scale, but also small projects, public and private, with innovative potential for taking city lights into the future.
Peter Bialobrzeski studied Politics and Sociology before he became a photographer for a local paper in his native Wolfsburg/Germany. He travelled extensivly in Asia before he went back to study photography at the Folkwangschule in Essen and the LCP in London. After having worked as a photographer for almost 15 years and published world wide, Peter started to focus more on Personal Projects. In the last eight years he has published eight books. His work has been exhibited in Europe, USA, Asia, Afrika and Australia. He won several awards including the prestigious World Press Photo Award 2003 and 2010. Since 2002 Peter is a regular Professor for photography at the University of the Arts in Bremen/Germany. Furthermore he runs workshops around the world. He is represented by Laurence Miller Gallery in New York, LA Galerie in Frankfurt/Germany and also shows with Robert Morat Gallery in his hometown Hamburg, as well as at m97 Gallery in Shanghai. In 2012 he was honored with the Erich Salomon Award by the German Society of Photographers (DGPh).
Tim Edler & Jan Edler. In 2000 the brothers Tim Edler and Jan Edler founded realities:united (realU), a studio for art, architecture and technology. realities:united develops and supports architectural solutions, usually incorporating new media and information technologies. The office provides consulting, planning, and research, also undertaking projects for clients such as museums, businesses, and other architectural firms. Strategic initiative and a high proportion of communication and mediation in work processes mark many of the firm's innovative projects. This approach creates the bridge between utopian ideas, abstract conceptions and realizations and has been recognized internationally. The Edlers have won several international design awards and competitions. For the development of the BIX communicative display skin at the Kunsthaus Graz the brothers received the the Hans Schaefers Award by the German Architects Association Berlin (2004); among others. In 2007 the brothers were honoured with the silver award by the German Art Director Club for the design of MuseumX in Mönchengladbach, and in 2009 their work was honoured with the prestigious Kunstpreis Berlin 2009 by the Akademie der Künste in Berlin.

Olde English is a malt liquor brewed by the Miller Brewing Company. It was first introduced to the United States in 1964. Olde English comes in a variety of serving sizes including, a forty ounce bottle. Olde English also varies in alcohol by volume, ranging from 5.9%ABV to 8.0%ABV.


Retailers are selling more unique, locally sourced products but worry whether they can quickly learn of compliance violations in homes or small workshops where these goods are made.
Manufacturing processes for artisanal goods present a compliance risk for the same reasons they appeal to customers--because they're not mass-produced in factory conditions. But that makes it much harder for retailers to monitor.
Retailers have developed protocols to audit factories operated by their suppliers but it's much harder to apply such standards in these smaller work spaces. It matters because international trade in art crafts is soaring. It reached $34 billion in 2012, up from $17.5 billion in 2002, according to the most recent data from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development.
With that in mind, retailers including Target Corp., Patagonia Inc., Eileen Fisher and West Elm, part of Williams-Sonoma Inc., teamed with nonprofit Nest--an organization focused on the development of the global craft industry--to draft more than 130 compliance standards for home-based workshops.
The standards were introduced at the United Nations in December. Products that meet the Nest Compliance for Homes and Small Workshops standards are allowed to display a consumer seal.
The standards cover six categories: worker rights and business transparency; child advocacy and protection; fair compensation and benefits; worker well-being; health and safety; and environmental care.
The rules are designed to allow for a flexible approach that accounts for differences in local cultures, said Rebecca van Bergen, founder and executive director of Nest.
Many companies either have very dated homeworker policies or none at all, or they have policies that forced work occurring in homes and small workshops to be illegally subcontracted, said Ms. van Bergen.
"Or brands try to fit a square peg into a round hole and bring in a factory compliance system for their home workers. Historically that hasn't worked that well," she said.
Monitoring conditions for home-based workers is complicated by factors including migrant labor forces, highly dispersed worker populations and multiple layers of subcontracting that demand a different approach than that of factory regulation, said Ms. van Bergen.
Ivanka Mamic, senior director of responsible sourcing at Target Corp., said what makes this compliance program unique is it includes training for suppliers that use home-based workers--and remediation of any problems uncovered. Only after training occurs will an audit be scheduled, allowing the supplier to make any required changes.
"Compliance is a new concept for many home-based workers and other subcontractors further down the supply chain, so having that training-first model is essential to the understanding and adoption of the standards over time," said Ms. Mamic.
Chris van Bergen, chief operating officer at Nest and the husband of Rebecca, said these home-based businesses all look different from each other. One could be a small artisan with four or five workers or it could be an artisan using 3,000 to 4,000 homeworkers, with each individual in their own house, he said.
"It's understanding the nuanced relationships in each chain so we can develop processes that make the most sense," said Mr. van Bergen.
For example, as many home workers don't work full-time, it's hard to know whether what they are being paid meets local minimum-wage rules, he said.
In one case that meant sitting down with different sets of workers to time how long it took to produce the product--in this case, a basket--so workers could be paid based on that established time, said Mr. van Bergen.
"You can't just say this group here makes $10 a day because some might be making only $3 or $1 because they are only weaving one basket per day," he said. "This makes sure the price-per-piece is fair to them."
The standards let retailers look deeper into the production base of where their small-scale products are produced, said Doug Guiley, senior vice president of global sourcing for West Elm.
For example, he said before the company could look at a basket supplier in the Philippines but not at the places on a different island where the 3,000 or so workers who make the baskets live.
"Our factory auditing standard ensured the finishing factory met our requirements but it was not a standard for how to audit that next layer," said Mr. Guiley. "That's what this program allows us to do."
Ms. Mamic said it is important Target, which sources artisanal products from 30 countries, use its scale and the scope of its business "to ensure that responsible sourcing is ingrained in everything we are doing. We are using our scale to act as a change agent and we hope to inspire others to do more."


This treatment is a combination of Hot stone with full body Thai oil massage together which provides a very healing and effective experience. The hot stones also expand blood vessels, which encourages blood flow throughout the body. The hot stones have a sedative effect that can relieve chronic pain, reduce stress and promote deep relaxation.
Some people find the warmth of the hot stones to be comforting and deeply relaxing. It's also suited for people who have muscle tension but prefer a lighter massage. The heat relaxes muscles, allowing the therapist to work the muscles using lighter pressure.


These new Air Jordan 11 Retro "Legend Blue" sneakers will be available for purchase on Dec. 20, 2014.
The Air Jordans pictured above are being rereleased Saturday. That may mean nothing to you, but to hordes of young men and women who slept outside for the opportunity to win the golden ticket—à la Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory—to purchase them, it means the world.
There is a running narrative that lines up next to these sneakerheads, who shell out hundreds of bucks to be the first to own a deadstock pair—or, in sneakerhead parlance, a pair of new, fresh-out-the-box, never-touched-the-floor sneakers—about how insane the entire tradition is. There are the tired tropes of some people believing that they should be doing something else with their time, and their money, than buying expensive sneakers.
But here are three quick reasons why we have to rid ourselves of this idea that people who stand in lines for hours to cop limited-edition sneakers are making vapid purchases influenced by materialism. And let's lose this upper-crust ideology that sneakerheads are somehow engaged in a superficial hobby.
1. The sneakers are art.
It bothers me that I have to reference a hobby that is often associated with rich people in order to make the case for why we should stop snubbing our noses at sneakerheads. But I will: art.
When Puff Daddy was eyeing Picasso's Venus artwork at Art Basel like a vulture closing in on its prey, no one cared because rich people blow big cash on big things. It's a given.
Puffy can salivate over those pieces because, well, those items have a value and seriousness attached to them that sneakers don't have.
But the truth of the matter is, sneakers are art. They've moved past their mere purpose and are considered by many to be a legitimate canvas that designers and artists use to express themselves. They're timeless and classic, and their value appreciates with age, just like art. Many of them embody a certain kind of archaic, bold, artistic expression that people love. People wear Air Jordans to convey a cool, urban lifestyle that they're either currently living or hoping to lead. Simply put (and this isn't a stretch): Jordans can be aspirational.
Plus, unlike some of the scribble scrabble that masquerades as high-end art and gets sold for millions of dollars at auctions, a lot of Jordans are a unique blend of colors, designs and textures that achieve pure nirvana. Don't believe me? Look at the energy that Tinker Hatfield puts into his creations. Who is Tinker Hatfield? Google him; I'll wait.
2. Retail prices are the cheapest option.
Look, Jordans are expensive. Insanely expensive, especially for the working-class communities that typically covet them.
But one of the main reasons people stand outside for hours to purchase "limited edition" models is that only a certain number of them are sold in stores at the market price.
So waking up at 3 a.m. to get to a Foot Locker makes not only sense (see point 1) for sneakerheads but also cents, since they'd rather pay $250 for the Air Jordan Doernbecher IV on day 1 than buy them for more than $1,300 on eBay from someone who's flipping them for three times their original selling price.
3. The sneaker resale market is bookoo rich.
According to recent estimates, the sneaker resale market is valued at approximately $1 billion. Yep, that's billion with a "b." Again, for those limited-edition releases, each store gets anywhere from a dozen to 100 pairs of shoes. So entrepreneurial sneakerheads—usually with their friends in tow—purchase them with the intent to sell them on eBay soon thereafter and, again, for much more than the original selling price. And apparently, Nike is not mad at this hustle because it believes "it helps build buzz and adds to the brand's overall street cred," a CNN report explained.
It's a dynamic, complex business that gives enterprising sneakerheads one hell of a return on their investment: "The more dedicated resellers have developed connections with wholesalers. The markups on them can be as much as 100 percent, or more," the CNN report continued.
Fashion is an opportunity to live one's truth; buying kicks at retail price is an opportunity to save money and, for the business-minded sneakerhead, an opportunity to make money. Case closed.
In closing: Let's not get into those same boring conversations about what people who stand in those long lines for J's—or any other sneaker—should and could be doing with their time, interests and money. Fashion is an opportunity to live one's truth; buying kicks at retail price is an opportunity to save money and, for the business-minded sneakerhead, an opportunity to make money. Case closed.

Eight Hall of Famers Who Attended Junior Colleges
ByBryan Armetta
Published on Wed Dec 30 2020
Junior College (JuCo)
While most NFL stars are plucked from the FBS ranks, the path to stardom is different for everyone. Spending a year or two at junior college has often paid dividends for numerous athletes, as factors such as subpar grades or trouble off the field have prevented many from jumping straight to a major program. Here are eight NFL Hall of Famers who got their star at a junior college.
Warren Moon - Quarterback
The reason Moon did not immediately attend a major program had nothing to do with his high school academics or performance on the field, as the Los Angeles native received scholarship offers from USC and Arizona. However, these schools did not believe he could continue to be a signal caller at the next level, asking asking him to switch positions. Adamant in his ability as a pocket passer, Moon chose to attend West Los Angeles College. After setting records during his two seasons there, the future Hall of Famer was recruited by the Washington Huskies, where he would win the 1978 Rose Bowl and continue to make history in both the CFL and NFL.

Frank Gifford - QB/RB/WR/DB
Despite his eventual status as an NFL legend, Frank Gifford was facing difficulty just getting into USC back in the late 1940's. Lacking the necessary high school grade-point average to become a Trojan, the Santa Monica-born Gifford decided to continue playing at Bakersfield, where he quarterbacked his way to a Junior College All-American selection. At USC, Gifford got his start playing safety, but was also given opportunities on offense at tailback and receiver in his senior year. His versatile playing style was a main reason the New York Giants selected him as a first rounder in the 1952 NFL Draft, going on to become one of the greatest players in franchise history.
Heaven Birthday, Frank Gifford.

Jim Taylor - Fullback
Before he was able to play at LSU, future Hall of Fame fullback Jim Taylor had to suit up for the Hinds Junior College Eagles, located in Raymond, Mississippi. During Taylor's freshman year in LSU, he failed to pass a single class, forcing head coach Paul Dietzel to find a solution. Given that Taylor's talent was simply too good to pass up, the school decided to send him to Hinds in 1955, then known as LSU's "farm team". Next season, Taylor would return to Baton Rouge and was named a First Team All-American in his senior year, before becoming an MVP and five-time Pro Bowler under the stewardship of legendary Green Bay Packers head coach Vince Lombardi.
Larry Allen - Offensive Tackle
Few players in NFL history, let alone on our list, have had a more unlikely journey to football immortality than Larry Allen. Although he failed to graduate from high school, Allen managed to make his way to Butte College, where the lineman's freakish strength and stellar technique carried him to Junior College All-American Honors in his sophomore year, his final J.C. season. After a transfer to Division II Sonoma State, Allen was picked in the second round by the Cowboys. Over the course of over fourteen professional seasons, Allen was a key pillar of an overpowering Dallas dynasty, being named to the NFL's 1990s All-Decade Team.

O.J. Simpson - Running Back
After his rise to nationally-recognized celebrity, murder trial, and eventual prison stint, it is easy to forget that O.J. Simpson was arguably the best running back in football over the course of his eleven-year NFL career. However, before the man formerly known as Juice was breaking tackles for the USC Trojans, he was a two-way player at the City College of San Francisco, after leaning towards joining the Army for a time. Poor grades were what ultimately forced the gifted runner to the JUCO circuit, where he would eventually become a J.C. All-American. Following his outstanding Southern California tenure, Simpson became a five-time All Pro for the Buffalo Bills.
Walter Jones - Offensive Tackle
Initially hoping to join the Florida State Seminoles as a tight end, Hall of Famer Walter Jones did not meet academic requirements. Instead, he played as a lineman (primarily) at Mississippi's Holmes Community College in 1993, where he would dominate his opposition over the next two years. After his outstanding JUCO tenure, Jones was able to transfer to FSU in 1995. Despite playing just one season in Tallahassee, the Alabama-born athlete made quite the impression over the course of just twelve games, culminating in the Seattle Seahawks selecting Jones with the sixth pick in the first round. Nine Pro Bowls, a Hall of Fame jacket, and a place on the NFL's All-Time Team are just some of the accolades he would earn over thirteen seasons as a professional.
Roger Staubach - Quarterback
It may be surprising to find out that Roger Staubach's first collegiate season in 1960-61 was spent at a JUCO school, the New Mexico Military Institute, and not Navy. To prepare for his entry into the Naval Academy, Roger the Dodger went to NMMI, where he broke the school's single-season passing yards record while scoring a total of eighteen touchdowns through the air and with his legs. After joining the Midshipmen the following season, Staubach would win the Heisman in 1963, becoming the first former J.C. player to take home college football's most prestigious award. When he returned from military service in 1969, Roger was finally eligible to suit up for the Dallas Cowboys, despite being a 27-year old rookie at the time. As the face of America's Team, Staubach would go on to win two Super Bowls en route to his eventual enshrinement in Canton.

Aaron Rodgers - Quarterback
Although his playing days are far from over, Aaron Rodgers is a surefire lock for the Hall of Fame. However, back when he was in his senior year of high school, Rodgers received just one offer to play in college: a walk-on scholarship at Illinois. Instead of accepting, he decided to stay close to home in California and played a season at Butte College, the same school Larry Allen attended. While on a scouting trip, Cal's head coach Jeff Tedford uncovered Rodgers and offered him a scholarship. After a successful two-year career in Berkley, Rodgers was selected by the Green Bay Packers. The rest is history: Two MVPs, a Super Bowl win, and (eventually) a gold jacket. Today, Rodgers still has plenty of love for the school that gave him a chance to go pro; in 2019 he made a major donation to the Cal football program and started a scholarship fund for one junior college transfer each year. Additionally, number twelve is always proud to represent Butte and his JUCO roots:

Q: Long XAML parsing time at startup I am attempting to build a program to help with my medical charting. It was all going fine and debugging only took 3-4 seconds to launch. Today when I went to work on it it took a full minute to launch debugging. This seems unreasonably long with this uncomplicated code. I ran the Performance Profiler and it looks like most of the time is spent on parsing of the MainWindow. Pic of Performace Profiler.
There is also another window that opens from a context menu option within the program, it used to open instantly, but now it takes a good 10 seconds to open.
Am I doing something wrong here?

Update - I went through the XAML code commenting and uncommenting sections. It looks like the problem is with the...
<SpellCheck.CustomDictionaries>
        <sys:Uri>pack://application:,,,/MedDic.lex</sys:Uri>
    </SpellCheck.CustomDictionaries>

When I comment this section it loads in 107ms, when I uncomment this section it takes 52 seconds. The MedDic.lex file I have is a medical dictionary that is quite large. I removed all but two words in the dictionary and the problem persists.
Am I adding a custom dictionary correctly? Why is this taking so long to parse?

A: I also had this problem once, for me restarting Visual Studio solved the problem.

A: I would suggest:
Performing a `Clean Solution
Closing the solution file and Visual Studio
Delete the bin and obj directories
Delete .vs directory
Try debugging again

A: Turns out the code was fine. I tried it on another computer and it worked as expected. I reinstalled windows on my computer and things were back to normal. Still not sure what was going on, but that fixed it.

Q: How Does GetStringType Cause a Deadlock in Dll Main? I'm looking at an application which hangs on Server 2016 but runs find on Server 2008 R2. I have traced it to a hang caused by deadlock when a particular DLL loads. Analysing the DLL (I don't have the source code) I can see that it violates the guideline here

*

*Call GetStringTypeA, GetStringTypeEx, or GetStringTypeW (either
directly or indirectly). This can cause a deadlock or a crash

Specifically it calls GetStringTypeW from DllMain.
I'm trying to understand how this function can cause deadlocks in DllMain.

A:
Your DllMain function runs inside the loader lock, one of the few
  times the OS lets you run code while one of its internal locks is
  held. This means that you must be extra careful not to violate a lock
  hierarchy in your DllMain; otherwise, you are asking for a deadlock. (Refer to "Another reason not to do anything scary in your DllMain: Inadvertent deadlock")

DllMain is called while the loader-lock is held, so if GetStringType acquires the loader lock, deadlock appears.

Significant restrictions are imposed on the functions that can be
  called within DllMain. As such, DllMain is designed to perform minimal
  initialization tasks, by using a small subset of the Microsoft®
  Windows® API. You cannot call any function in DllMain that directly or
  indirectly tries to acquire the loader lock. Otherwise, you will
  introduce the possibility that your application deadlocks or crashes.

We can't see source code of GetStringType function. It is suggested to follow Dynamic-Link Library Best Practices.

A: Calling a function from DllMain that will (directly or indirectly) attempt to load another module is going to deadlock.
Module loading is serialized. The system uses a lock to ensure that at any given time no more than a single DLL entry point is entered. If you are calling LoadLibrary (directly or indirectly) from your DLL entry point, you are holding the loader lock. LoadLibrary will attempt to acquire the loader lock itself prior to calling into the module's entry point. So while your code is waiting for LoadLibrary to return, LoadLibrary is waiting for the lock you are holding. That's a deadlock.
This is likely the reason why calling GetStringType from DllMain deadlocks. Without access to source code I cannot verify this, though. You may be able to find evidence by enabling loader snaps.

In my last post on social network articles, i talked about spam posted links on facebook and the damages they can do to one's reputation and account. If you missed it, i recommend you read the post so you can know how those spam links does enter a facebook account.
But today, after the suggestion of Funmy Kemmy and Uthman Saheed on the post, i'll be talking about how to stop the spam on facebook wall.
If your facebook profile is posting links that you did not know (spam), there is the tendency that your account was intruded by usually an automated application.
In this post, am going to tell you how you can stop those spam from your facebook profile.
For those who says 'my facebook profile is posting links which i do not know', i have categorized how you can stop it into 2 parts which are the TEMPORARY and PERMANENT Method.
Let me assure you that whichever of the method you use, its going to stop the spam but its BEST to use the latter one which is the PERMANENT METHOD.
For the TEMPORARY METHOD, All you Need Todo is to Change your Facebook Password and its going to REVOKE the connection that has been linked earlier with your account (Read the first paragraph of this post to know how the Spam was Linked to your account) .
=> The PERMANENT METHOD: If you're on a PC, goto the dropdown located at the Top right of your facebook timeline, then click on it and scroll down to settings. For mobile facebook users, simply move your cursor down to the BOTTOM and you'll see the Settings and Privacy link to click on.
Once you've done that, scroll to Apps and locate the name of the app that is autoposting. There, you can now delete the app.
Thanks for finding solution to the Facebook spam wall. It is really helpful.

Tisha Campbell net worth:
-$15 Million
Tisha Campbell Net Worth: Tisha Campbell is an American singer and actress who has a net worth of -$15 million dollars. Born in Oklahoma City in 1968, Tisha Campbell's acting career began when she was six years old with an appearance on PBS' "The Big Blue Marble". She went on to earn roles in "Unicorn Tales", "Kids Are People Too", and "Captain Kangaroo". Campbell held several theater roles before she moved to Hollywood after her high school graduation. She landed a part on "Rags to Riches" before attempting a music career with the release of her first album, "Tisha", in 1992. She has four discography credits, including the soundtracks to "Sprung", "Little Shop of Horrors" and "School Daze". She landed the role of Gina Waters on "Martin", staying with the show for 122 episodes from 1992-1997. In 1996, however, she filed a lawsuit against Martin Lawrence and the show's producers alleging sexual harassment and abuse. HBO settled, and Campbell filmed the show's last three episodes without appearing in any scenes with Lawrence. In 2001, she began starring as Janet Kyle on "My Wife and Kids" through 2005. Other TV and film credits include "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch", "Everybody Hates Chris", "Private Practice", "Little Shop of Horrors", "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" and "Lemonade Mouth". She has been married to husband Duane Martin since 1996 and has two sons.
Tisha Campbell Bankruptcy
On April 4, 2016, it was revealed that Tisha Cambell and her husband Duane Martin have filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In the filing, the couple claim to be drowning in $15 million worth of debt and only have $313,000 in assets between them. Their listed assets include $65,000 in real estate and $248,000 in personal property. Their combined monthly income is $7,655 and their monthly expenses are $16,953. They own a 2014 Range Rover, a 2016 Range Rover, a 1999 Kawasaki Drifter and a Jeep Wrangler. They owe $15,145,387 in liabilities to various creditors including $3 million which is owed to Broadway Federal Bank for a real estate loan and $9.5 million to the City of Los Angeles for a personal guaranty. They also owe tens of thousands of dollars in back taxes.
In February 2018, Tisha filed for divorce from Duane after 22 years together. In a September 2018 court filing, Tisha says she has $1.5 million worth of assets but does not have a steady source of income. She claims her monthly expenses total $33,000 and Duane's monthly income exceeds $62,000. Tisha claims Duane hid money during their marriage. She also claims that Duane owns $750,000 worth of t-shirts (500 shirts that are somehow worth $1500 a piece).

pH-Sensitive phosphate lipid self-assembled monolayers on gold
Naotoshi Nakashima, Toshiyuki Taguchi
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of a phosphate lipid, bis(11-mercaptoundecyl)phosphoric acid, were formed on gold electrodes via chemisorption from ethanol solutions by altering the immersion time. The electrochemistry of the lipid monolayers on gold electrodes was examined by using methylviologen and dipropanesulphonate-4,4′-bipyridinium as a cationic and a zwitterionic redox-active marker, respectively. SAMs of n-dodecylmercaptan, 11-mercaptoundecane-1-ol and 11-mercaptoundecane-1-oic acid on gold electrodes which were fabricated by 24 h adsorption from ethanolic solutions of each thiol compound, could not block the redox reaction of methylviologen. However, SAMs of the phosphoric acid lipid on gold which were prepared by adsorption over 6 h exhibited pH-responsive ion-gating phenomena; at lower pHs (<pH 4), penetration of both methylviologen and its reduced form was almost inhibited (gate closed) and at higher pH, incorporation of the redox compound into the SAMs was possible (gate open). By using SAMs of the lipid fabricated by 40 min adsorption from ethanolic solution, similar gating behavior was observed for the oxidation reaction of the reduced form of 1,1′-dipropanesulphonate-4,4′-bipyridinium. In this case, the monolayer gate was closed at higher pH and opened at lower pH. The electrochemical response of SAMs of the lipid using methylviologen as a marker toward Ca2+ ion is also described.

Autechre Oversteps tour includes Glasgow date - Sean Booth interview 25.02.10
David Pollock talks to one half of one of dance music's most enigmatic acts, Autechre
The new album just kind of made itself, really.' That sounds like a pretty glib statement from Sean Booth, one half of Warp-signed electronic experimentalists Autechre, alongside Rob Brown, the kind of thing you hear from any band which plays the music first and asks questions later, if at all. Yet Autechre are a smart band who make intelligent music, and Booth has had the group's 23 year lifespan to consider the manner in which he feels most comfortable creating it.
'You can think a lot about what you're doing from the offset, if you want,' he says. 'You can define everything from the word go, and depending on the software you use, you can restrict yourself so that's the way you have to produce. But I'm the sort of person who believes in trial and error, and I like to not know what I'm going to end up with when I start a track. When I know where I'm going … let's just say I don't like anything I've ever made that way.'
The result being, Booth isn't able to talk too deeply about the thinking behind the pair's new album Oversteps, their tenth studio recording and the follow-up to 2008's Quaristice. It's a gorgeous but understated record, a low urban hum of traffic in the distance, a refrigerator in the middle of the night, a bank of workstations on standby. A symphony composed within the Cloud, austere and strange, yet knitted to the human experience of the 21st century.
Alongside Warp contemporaries like Aphex Twin and Squarepusher, Autechre remain at the forefront of the experimental electronic vanguard, godfathers of a growing subculture of laptop musicians who are pushing the boundaries of music. Booth revels in the techy stereotype attached to such artists. 'I don't think there's anything inhuman about being into detail or understanding how things work,' he says. 'Curiosity's a human trait.'
There is, though, surely something depersonalising about Autechre's whole aesthetic and existence. Booth currently stays in Manchester, Brown in Bristol, and much of their work together is undertaken through the exchanging of sound files online. Their song titles too, as always, are outwith the realms of human conversation, with track named 'pt2ph8', 'O=0' and 'os veix3' on the latest album.
Do these mean anything, or are the pair just playing? 'Both,' states Booth, 'because you can't play without meaning, can you? Their meanings aren't explicit, but they are there. I mean, if you could get away without naming anything, that would be good. We have to do it for cataloguing reasons, so most of the time we just use our working titles, unless they look horrible. That's another thing, we're really into the way certain letters look, and converge. I think it goes back to when we were younger, it's a tagging thing, a definite aesthetic consideration.' He laughs. 'We don't name our songs like that because we're trying to be dickheads about it.'
Asked whether or not the live show will contain any visual elements, Booth unwittingly replies with another mantra of less considered musicians: 'D'you know what? I've not even thought about it. It's just all about the music for me. The thing with intuition is, it's more reliable when you're experienced. I find the older I get, the easier it is to just switch off and make stuff.'
Autechre play Numbers at the Sub Club, Glasgow, Tue 16 Mar, alongside Rob Hall, Russell Haswell and Didjit.

Local MLB draftees sizzling this summer
By Corey Saathoff on August 9, 2018 at 7:27 pm
Zach Neff
Josh Fleming
Jordan McFarland
Three former Monroe County high school baseball standouts who were drafted by Major League Baseball teams are showcasing their talents at various levels this summer.
Minor league pitcher Josh Fleming, 22, of Columbia, picked up his first victory as a member of the Class A Advanced Charlotte Stone Crabs of the Florida State League on July 31.
Fleming allowed just one earned run over six innings with five strikeouts and a walk in the win over the Florida Fire Frogs.
The 6-foot-2 lefty starter was promoted from the Class A Bowling Green Hot Rods after going 5-1 with a 1.20 ERA earlier this season. He is 1-1 with a 4.05 ERA with Charlotte.
The 2014 Columbia High School graduate was selected last year in the fifth round of the MLB draft by the Tampa Bay Rays following a dominant season on the mound at NCAA Division III Webster University in St. Louis.
Fellow minor leaguer Zach Neff, a 2014 Gibault Catholic High School graduate who pitched for Mississippi State University in the College World Series this past spring, is enjoying success with the Elizabethton Twins in the advanced rookie league.
Neff, 22, was selected in the 31st round of the MLB draft by the Minnesota Twins in June. The 6-foot-1 lefty reliever is currently 3-1 with a 2.35 ERA and four saves and 20 strikeouts in 10 games totaling 15-plus innings pitched for Elizabethton.
Another local baseball standout, 2016 Waterloo High School graduate Jordan McFarland, had a hot-hitting summer in the California Collegiate League.
McFarland, who was selected in the 36th round of the MLB draft by the Washington Nationals in 2016 but opted instead to attend the University of Arkansas, played with the Conejo Oaks of the CCL wooden bat league this summer.
In 17 games with Conejo, the 6-foot-3 right-handed slugger hit .387 with 18 RBIs, a home run and six doubles.
He had eight hits in three playoff games to help lead Conejo to the championship game. In the CCL title game, McFarland went 4-for-5 with two RBIs in a win over the Orange County Riptide, giving Conejo its first league crown.
McFarland, who will return to Arkansas for his junior season, was named to the CCL All-Star Team and won postseason MVP honors for his sizzling playoff performance at the plate.

Online News-Cities, States Fail to Utilize Option to Meet Lower Arsenic Level
Often overlooked in the debates for a safe and cost-effective solution to meet contaminant standards such as arsenic-and one approved by the U.S. EPA-is the end-of-the-line use of POU/POE devices, frequently the most economical solution to both arsenic removal and source water scarceness.
In a typical scenario that is being echoed in small towns across the nation, officials in the small town of Fernley, NV, recently told the Truckee-Carson Irrigation District Board that Fernley's primary source of drinking water by mid-2006 would be the Truckee Canal rather than the wells from which all of Fernley's water is currently drawn.
This shift in Fernley's primary water resource came about because an arsenic-removing water treatment plant for the city's groundwater would cost about $7 million, while a plant to treat canal irrigation water for consumption would be closer to $5 million. It's simple economics, but perhaps not the most cost-effective solution.
Fernley's groundwater just meets the old federal arsenic standard for drinking water of 50 ppb-but is not close to the new 10 ppb MCL, set to become effective by late Jan. 2006. (Fernley received an extension from Nevada and won't have to meet the new standard until 2009.)
With a population that has doubled in the past eight years, Fernley must also deal with the mounting issue of the quantity of water available for the population. It's a huge conundrum for smaller towns-increased costs of treatment of a dwindling supply for a growing population.
Small communities like Fernley should factor into their financial research that only 1% or less of the water needs to be treated. POU and POE do not need to treat the irrigation, fire fighting, and industrial water in a community.
Many-if not most-local water treatment officials are still unaware of EPA's officially recognized option of using POU/POE technologies to meet EPA guidelines for MCLs-including arsenic. Also, many state officials don't recognize the option of using POU/POE, even though the EPA does.
Local water treatment officials and city officials owe it to their consumers to explore the financially viable POU/POE option. For more information about using POU/POE distributed treatment, call (630) 505-0160.

Shakespeare's "Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day" provides readers with an opportunity to practice their close reading and analysis skills as they find evidence in the sonnet to respond to a series of discussion questions.
24/09/2012�� In Sonnet 18 what is the relationship in lines 1-8 between the young man's loveliness and temperateness and that of a summer's day? What is the relationship in lines 9-12 between the young man's eternal summer and the eternal lines of the verse?
Roxy Music�s Bryan Ferry singing the same version of Sonnet 18 We keep finding these. We have no idea who wrote the song or convinced notable rock vocalists to take a stab at it, but it�s all so insane that we had to link it.

The Miracle of Human Life Becomes More Vivid to Me
This is my grandchild, taken from a sonogram several weeks ago.
Of course, the "live sonogram" is always much more amazing, because it's a video and the child moves around (a lot!).
It seems like only yesterday that Eileen and I watched in wonder the sonogram video of this child's father (it was 24 years ago, actually).
Of course, no matter how old we are now, every single one of us "started out" this way!☺
What a tremendous mystery it is to be human, to be given the gift of life as a person - always worthy of love, care, affirmation, support, and protection - and to be entrusted to others, to relationships that span multiple generations, and by which each one of us is placed within a family, and introduced into the history of the whole human family where we are all brothers and sisters.
We all belong to this great history, we are each called to take our place within it, to live and help one another as we journey through it, contribute to its heritage (even in the smallest ways), and finally pass beyond it to its fulfillment - which is our destiny because we are all children of God.
As I get older, the miracle of human life becomes more vivid to me: I have been a vulnerable child totally dependent on others, a parent whose children depended on me, again a son whose dying father needed so much my love and active concern at the end of his life, and now embarking upon the road of yet another kind of presence and solicitude for my children's children, for this new child (whose profile in this picture indicates that the kid already has "the Janaro nose"😉).
My own life has not always been easy. It has had a lot of suffering. But it has always been worth it. And when I fail (which is a lot!), it is always possible to remember what I know is real, what has value, and to begin anew.
Eileen and I want to say this today: "Dear precious grandchild, we love you!"❤
