I'm an anxious person by nature, so I stress about nearly everything. The past few weeks I've been feeling overwhelmed from work, upcoming events and a lengthy to-do list. Fortunately, over the years I've learned strategies to help alleviate my anxiety when I'm put under pressure. Here's 10 ways that help me find a sense of calm.
It's scary how much that quote resonates with my life. Introducing meditation to my daily routine has helped stop me from over-attending to my thoughts and feelings, and kept me grounded.
Colouring, and even painting, is a form of alternative therapy for your mind. Adult colouring books are all the rage right now, and have even outsold cookery books in France. It's so easy to become engrossed and it forces the mind to focus on the present.
Also, here's some free adult colouring therapy printables.
Valerian tea has proved quite effective to help alleviate stress and anxiety, particularly at night. It works by increasing the amount of GABA, or gamma aminobutyric acid, in the brain, which helps regulate the activity of nerve cells, thereby relieving anxiety. It doesn't taste too pleasant on it's own, so it's usually combined with another herb. This Lemon Valerian Tea is my favourite, and the lemon also contributes to the calming effect.
Other herbal teas I would recommend are Passion Flower. It works well at relieving anxiety and also promoting sleep, so one cup of tea before bed should be enough to help calm the nerves.
I'm most anxious when I'm around clutter. I just can't deal with looking around and everything is just everywhere, but that's just me. Find what works for you. My ideal situation: candles (with autumnal-inspired scents, of course), a cup of tea, cozy knits, fresh flowers, organised stationary and a good playlist.
Mobile apps have come such a long way, and they can be an extremely effective tool to help manage anxiety. None of these should substitute for a doctors care, but they may help with day-to-day stress. They're especially great when you're not at home, and possibly dealing with anxiety at an airport, plane, public transport, etc. A couple favourites include Flowy, which is a game designed to combat panic attacks, anxiety and hyperventilation, and Headspace, which provides short guided meditations depending on your mood.
If it's possible, tackle the reasons causing you to feel stressed or anxious. I prefer to do this in form of a to-do list, but you could also write it all down in a journal. Every time I have a worrying thought of something I need to do, instead of letting it play on my mind, I write it down throughout the day (no matter how minute). It's been a therapeutic tool for me ever since high school, by clarifying my thoughts and helping me feel at least a little accomplished at the end of the day. Now, since working from home, I think it's more important than ever. It also helps writing down your thoughts or to-do list the night before for a more restful sleep.
I've used Rescue Remedy ever since my high school days, and although some may argue it's due to a placebo effect, it did help me deal with daily stress and anxiety. It's made from flower essences which are a foundation of energy medicine that aim to harmonize through emotional and spiritual well-being. Take 4 drops in a small glass of water, or directly on/under the tongue in the morning.
Your happy place refers to a state of mind, a tranquil place you can visualize that calms you. It helps a lot when you're feeling anxious and trying to sleep. Just close your eyes, and picture every single detail. My happy place is traveling. I picture and live through every moment from getting on a plane, being on a plane, arriving at the airport, exploring, etc. It always manages to make me feel at peace and distract me from negative thoughts.
Pretty self explanatory, but a good novel allows you to escape from the real world. It's a great way to relax and reduce stress levels, especially if it's a really thrilling book.
I'd love to hear, how do you relieve anxiety?

Ad Gurus Ram Ray And Nirvik Singh Talk Communication And Calcutta, Just For T2 | Published 18.12.13, 12:00 AM
(From left) Kanchan Datta, Nirvik Singh and Ram Ray pose for the t2 camera at Fortune Select Loudon
On Saturday evening, the Advertising Club Calcutta inducted Ram Ray — a veteran of 51 years and the city's best-known adman — and city boy Nirvik Singh — now chairman and CEO of Grey Group Asia Pacific and heading it in 17 countries — into its Hall of Fame. Before that, Kanchan Datta, president, Advertising Club Calcutta, discussed and dissected the industry then and now with the two, just for t2.
Kanchan: How does it feel to be honoured by your city?
Nirvik: Any kind of honour feels good, especially when it comes from the city you grew up and started working in. It's the oldest Advertising Club in India and I feel very touched and humbled. This is my first Hall of Fame, but I hope that isn't a signal I should retire! (Laughs)
Ram: I really appreciate that it's coming from the Advertising Club Calcutta … a club that I have valued a lot in the past and continue to do so. I've been in advertising for 51 years and a member of the Advertising Club for at least 45-46 years.
Kanchan: What difference, if any, do you see in advertising communication in India vis-à-vis other South-East Asian countries?
Nirvik: Unfortunately, over the last year or so, our economy hasn't done well. There are other parts of Asia … Indonesia, Philippines and China that are doing better. I think the approach to technology in other markets is different from that in India and that difference is reflected in their advertising communication.
Kanchan: What are the challenges facing the advertising industry in India today, and especially Calcutta?
Ram: I don't think the challenges are very different from those in any other market. New technology and newer spaces have sprung up. Essentially, advertising is not only about understanding the world inside us, but also around us. When we begin to understand both, we are able to connect to the consumer better.
Kanchan: But today, Bengali as a language has fallen from grace and isn't used as much as a language of communication. Is that a big challenge for advertising in Calcutta?
Ram: On the contrary, Bengali advertising, in my opinion, has actually improved. There was a time I could say, without bragging too much, that there were only a few agencies, including mine (Response), where you could see good Bengali advertising. But today, I see it coming from a large number of agencies, including some good work by Grey in Bangladesh. They have been winning these Bengali advertising awards year after year. But yes, coming to your question, it's a challenge not only for the advertising industry, but also for the media players. Who's going to read Bengali newspapers? The Bengali-speaking market is not a sunrise industry anymore. The total Bengali-speaking population of the world is 225 million, one-third of which is settled abroad. Bengalis outside like to consume Bengali things, whether it is music or literature. So, it is at once an opportunity and a problem… a danger.
Kanchan: Do you think iconic names in advertising have become extinct today?
Nirvik: I wouldn't say that … there are many creative people around. But I think the craftsmanship which we saw earlier has become less. It may be due to time pressure or it may be because people don't concentrate on details that much anymore … it could be a reflection of that. I think that 'craft' needs to come back.
Kanchan: Nirvik, you've been a jury member at Cannes. Why do you think Indian advertising doesn't win as many awards as it can?
Nirvik: First of all, I wasn't judging the creative part… I was judging the effectiveness of an ad. India, actually, had some strong entries. But this was the first year of the effectiveness awards and there were a lot of learnings. I think somewhere the skill of submitting the entries from India left a lot to be desired. But, in fact, I think India had a head start in Cannes over many other countries.
Kanchan: Everyone's screaming digital nowadays. How relevant is traditional advertising today?
Nirvik: I don't make the distinction. I think we've got obsessed with the words 'digital' and 'traditional'. What's important is being able to deliver that which will connect with the consumer. What matters at the end of the day is good brand recall.
Our business has definitely changed from where we were 20 years ago and a lot of it is due to technology, but finally it all comes to down to great insight and creativity in connecting with the consumer. I think digital is pervasive… I don't make that distinction. There was a time when all advertising was on radio… and then came television and now is the computer, the Internet and the mobile. The world does change every 30-40 years… maybe this time, the rate of adoption has been faster.
Kanchan: How is that the Bengali shines outside, but becomes unproductive in Calcutta?
Nirvik: (Laughs) I don't think I'm qualified to answer that! But I think it's an unfair thing to say. It's just a perception … people here work just as hard. Till the time we don't whip that perception, we will find it difficult to get clients and industry here. The ad industry is a subset of clients and if clients don't come here, then we will suffer. To me, that's a bigger issue than the question of talent pool. There were a lot of big brands that used to come out of Calcutta and it's time to bring them back.
Ram: I feel the talent in Calcutta can produce world-class work, if it wants to. In my own agency, I have seen how when someone is told that an ad is for The New York Times, the quality of work dramatically improves!
Kanchan: Calcutta is relegated to being an advertising backwater. What would you do to change it?
Nirvik: In terms of flying hours, Calcutta is closest to South-East Asia. We need to position Calcutta as the gateway to India for countries in South-East Asia. But I think we need to ask ourselves honestly: 'When was the last time Calcutta went and marketed itself?' There are so many amazing articles written about Calcutta… how people get nostalgic about growing up out here, about living here. But there hasn't been a concentrated effort to market it. I live in Singapore which is probably the most marketed country in the world.
Ram: Singapore is an interesting example of marketing preceding the product. Singapore has been marketing itself much before it became the real Singapore. Calcutta's case is exactly the opposite. But these are issues not within the purview of our discussion here. These are much larger issues. Nirvik rightly said we are a subset of the industry.
Kanchan: Why are youngsters losing interest in advertising as a profession?
Ram: To be harsh, there is only one tone that defines most youth today: how to get higher faster. I find applications for the job of copywriters suffering in terms of language. When you ask them, you are told: 'Sir, I am not interested in language; I am interested in ideas.' Shortcut, really, has become the norm. Today, achievement has become more important than contribution. I'm not saying that's right or wrong … I personally don't like it because I feel it creates lesser human beings.
Nirvik: I feel you can say that people are not joining advertising if you think only in terms of its narrow definition. But anyone who joins Facebook or Google, is actually joining advertising. I think you have to redefine the definition of advertising. There may not be many who are joining client servicing or copywriting, but there are 50 kids setting up their social media companies or digital shops.
Ram: Stop calling it advertising … start calling it communication.
Kanchan: Who has been your inspiration in life and work?
Nirvik: For me, Ravi Gupta (former CEO of Trikaya Grey) was always an inspiration. I lost my parents when I was young and he was not only a father figure, but someone who constantly pushed me to challenge the status quo.
Ram: I have hero-worshipped none, but there are some people who have inspired me. One is Subhas Ghoshal and the other is Steve Jobs, both of whom I have met. Both were dreamers and yet very practical. I go back to their writings from time to time.

Smith Willcox & Co is a small, independent firm of accountants in Scarborough, North Yorkshire. The firm was established in 1946.
We provide accounting and bookkeeping services, taxation and business advice, to small businesses and individuals.
Our own business is built on reputation and recommendation from clients who know us well. These are people who value personal service and a simple, intelligent, common sense approach. Because of this, we have a niche and distinct client base.
We offer advice, proactively, to our clients, where this will improve the way they do things. This may lead to general cost savings, increases in profitable revenue, or even, savings in tax! Such advice is obvious (or should be) to an accountant with sound, general business acumen. We provide this freely, as included within our service. There are no 'added-value', rip-off, fees here.
We are truly independent. We are not members of (or owned by?) any domineering, multi-national software 'club'. However, we do have access to specialist support, when needed, from The Institute of Financial Accountants and CCH (a leading, global provider of financial information and training, to even the largest firms of accountants).
We have no delusions of grandeur. Our business is as small as it ever was and will be. A personal service business is exactly that - the personal service of the accountant who acts for you. This service is immediately lost, as soon as the business expands and employs much less experienced staff to do the work. It would be nice to have more of us here, if only we could find other accountants who share our values. However, we increasingly believe that our values are alien to the modern accountancy profession, as do our clients.

Stories from Previous Scout Jamborees
Venturers raft on the New River. BSA photo by Al Drago.
Whitewater Rafting Wet and Wild
By Payton Smith
"I was kinda nervous," Scout Kevin Henderson admitted as he waited in line to board a whitewater raft and paddle his way down the New River.
"I came to jambo looking for fun and found it on the waves of the river," said Scout Lucas Vireday. Riding a wave of fear was not supposed to be on the list of elements for a rafting ride down the New River.
Earlier that morning, Scouts and Venturers waited 20 minutes in line, had their paperwork checked, chatted with fellow rafters-t0-be, and took in a 15-minute safety presentation. Boarding blue and white busses, they collectively bolstered courage and cheered as they rolled off the Summit Bechtel Reserve and onto the highway. As the driver whiped around turns through the West Virginia Mountains, some wondered if river will be quite as wild as the bus ride.
Approaching the New River, a feeling of unease settled over the Scouts and Venturers as they try to be brave in the face of uncertainty. No one really wants to say that they're scared, but it was easy to notice real fear in some of their faces.
Finally at the shoreline, groups of seven or eight board the waiting rafts. They are anxious to be on the water.
The guide stands and chuckles eerily, like a pirate. He has 24 years of experience on the river, interrupted by two tours of service in Afghanistan. One rule is established for the raft... "keep your hand on the T-grip."
He tells a story of Old Man Rudy who did not like rafters and would fire off his shotgun to scare them.
As the rafts launched from the shore, the guide talked about geological history, the biology of the environment, the cultural history and the rapids themselves.
The first set of rapids, known as "Rudy's Ripple," gives a team a glimpse of whitewater downstream. The river, a bit higher than usual because of the recent deluges of rain, is brown but still boiling and swirling. The raft lurched and bumped as Scouts and Venturers hung on.
The guide's description of the upcoming "The Surprise" rapids fueled excitement among the passengers. Sure enough, holding on to the T-grip wasn't so easy this time. Splashes of water came over the raft. Laughter and shrieks poured out unsolicited.
After failing to hold on tight enough to the side of his raft, Eagle Scout Chris Katzer of O'Fallon, Ill., tumbled over the side into the New River.
"It went bump, bump, and then I fell out," said Katzer.
Finally, it was calm. The guide stands up at the aft of the raft and hurls his feet over his head, doing a back-flip into the river. The rest of the rafters follow suit, assuring a fully drenched experience on the New River.
"I wish I could do it again," Scout Tristen Gutbezahl. This was prevailing response among the now-dripping rafters.
Scouts and Venturers who missed rafting on the New River's whitewater are encouraged to return to the Summit for the summer programs starting in 2014, which will also feature biking, hiking, climbing, shooting sports, and other specialized activities not offered at any other Boy Scouts of America national high adventure base. Whitewater rafting will also be available at the 2017 National Scout Jamboree.

Scenery Lebanon TerrainX v1.0. Lebanon Terrain X improves the following landscape aspects of Lebanon in FSX: elevation, coastline, waterclass, region class / landclass and it features the major roads of Lebanon with moving traffic. This scenery package will be a must have for Lebor Simulations future IFR and VFR releases. By Lebor Simulations.
This scenery is for FSX (Microsoft Flight Simulator X) ONLY and is not compatible with previous versions of MSFS. So please do not try to install it for previous versions of MSFS,it will simply cause you trouble!
Before installing the scenery, be sure that FSX is not running.
Although not perfect, this version is a beginning... Many improvements will come in future versions.
Due to technical issues that we are still solving, the only element that was not included in this first release is the "vector class" layer. Future versions of Lebanon Terrain X will hopefuly feature the "vector class" element that will place every city and village in Lebanon at the proper location and with the apropriate texture and autogen. On the other side, the landclass that is available in this package is a big improvement over the default FSX one. In other words the landclass you will enjoy in this version is a sort of "impressionist" not "hyper realistic" canvas of Lebanon.
- Be sure FSX is not running.
- Run the LebTerrainXV1_setup.exe and follow the installation wizard instructions.
- When the setup wizard is finished, run FSX.
1) Click "Leb_SRTM" .Now click OK and OK again.FSX will now rebuild the scenery and a progress bar will be displayed.
2) Click "Leb_Water" .Now click OK and OK again.FSX will now rebuild the scenery and a progress bar will be displayed.
3) Click "Leb_LC".Now click OK and OK again.FSX will now rebuild the scenery and a progress bar will be displayed.
4) Click "Leb_Transp" .Now click OK and OK again.FSX will now rebuild the scenery and a progress bar will be displayed.
The scenery looks dense, sharp and pretty when FSX graphic settings/sliders are set to max values (and your PC is a young one). However, to be able to run FSX fairly well on your system and have the required amount of frame rate for flying, feel free to experiment with the graphic sliders and find a compromise between beauty and frame rate.
Lebanon Terrains X package contains four scenery folders that will be placed in FSX "Addon Scenery" folder.
This package does not contain any custom Lebanese airport (i.e: OLBA). OLBAX as well as other airports will be released as seperate packages.
Leb_SRTM: improves the terrain elevation in Lebanon. The elevations are generated using NASA's SRTM 90m DEM data.
Leb_Water: contains the detailed and true to life coastline and improves the water aspect next to the coast.
Leb_LC: improves the land class/land use of lebanon as well as the regional aspect in the coastal areas and hills (in other words we populated the country and made it mediterranean...). Future versions will add the "vector class" element as described above.
Leb_Transp: Thanks to Open Street Map data, the major roads of Lebanon are now featured with moving traffic. Future versions will add more lebanese roads to the actual network.

colour me beautiful was founded in the UK in 1983 and very soon became the leading styling company in Europe.
By advising millions of women all over the world, the colour concept evolved from the basic four seasons to the system we use today, an expanded six palettes.
Having worked as a cmb consultant and global trainer for 27 years, Cliff Bashforth, M.D. and co-owner of the brand for Europe, Africa and The Middle East had a vision when he purchased the business in 2016, that was to…
Empower as many women as possible – one make-up party at a time!
Realising that training, colour analysing, styling, shopping with and applying cosmetics to tens of thousands of women all over Europe was great grounding, in order to propel this already successful organisation forwards, he required the expertise of other committed individuals who were already successful leaders in the Network Marketing Industry. Thus, the appointment of our Network Directors in October 2017.
Our Beauty Consultants can offer a beautifully designed, cruelty free cosmetic range personally selected for customers' colouring type. Over 90% of our products are manufactured in the United Kingdom. We are a British company and we're passionate about supporting Britain.
The 'business in a bag' offers women and men the opportunity of building a business of their own. A minimal investment, the backing of a well-known, well-respected brand and, hard work can reap phenomenal rewards. We are giving people the chance to be…
In business for themselves but not by themselves!
Advising on make-up rather than 'selling' cosmetics builds customer loyalty which in turn ensures that our Beauty Consultants can develop and grow their own business with confidence.
Changing the way women look and feel about themselves is a 'life-changing' experience for the person that conducted the colour assessment or group party. We are passionate about the service we offer – how we 'do business' means that there's no selling involved.
What we do is magical.

There are a number of ways to discover the past: the study of documents written about past events (traditional history), oral traditions about the past (oral history) and the study of objects lost, abandoned or discarded by past societies ( archaeology). Each has its advantages and disadvantages and the information derived from each set of techniques might be said to come to us through a set of filters.
Caption beneath image reads, "Ferryland, showing Baltimore's House. From Fitzburgh's map, 1693."
From D.W. Prowse, A History of Newfoundland from the English, Colonial, and Foreign Records, 2nd edition (London: Eyre and Spottiswoode, 1896) 111. Image modified by Duleepa Wijayawardhana, 1999.
Many letters and other records written in the 16th and 17th centuries have not survived. Only a small percentage of the population was literate. They selected what they chose to write about and often had particular purposes for their writings. For example, a letter from Edward Wynne, Avalon's first governor, lists the names of the settlers who wintered there in 1622/23 , and the journal of James Yonge, a 16-year-old surgeon who summered in Newfoundland in 1663, explains the share system used by fishermen.
James Yonge's drawing of a "cod-fishers' stage"
From F.N.L. Poynter, ed., The Journal of James Yonge, 1647-1721, Plymouth Surgeon (London: Longmans, Green & Co., ©1963) Plate 4 B: "The cod–fishers' stage".
While neither oral history nor archaeology might be expected to provide such information, written sources are remarkably silent on such topics as the appearance of Avalon and the Pool Plantation, the location of the settlers' cemetery and so forth.
Oral history, while occasionally remarkably accurate, is likely to be distorted over hundreds of years, and some stories are simply forgotten. At Ferryland there are several versions of a legend about a long-lost well, with a different location for each over an area of several acres. One version, however, proved accurate and pointed out the precise location of the well. Another tradition states that Lady Kirke is buried "somewhere on the Downs," a large cleared peninsula east of the settlement.
Although it has not been confirmed, folklore states that Lady Sara Kirke is buried somewhere on the Ferryland Downs.

Archaeological evidence also is filtered during that period between the time objects are lost, discarded or abandoned and the time they are revealed by careful excavation. Organic objects — those made from wood, bone, antler, leather, ivory, textile, for example — disappear within a century in most areas of Newfoundland. While archaeology is selective in this way, it is not selective in whose remains are preserved. At Ferryland, refuse discarded by the most humble fishing family, never mentioned in historical records or remembered in legend, stands as much chance of being preserved as does refuse discarded by the gentry of Avalon and the Pool Plantation.
Documentary sources related to Ferryland have already been compiled. Oral traditions have been recorded. Barring some completely unforeseen discovery, we probably know all we can learn from these sources. Evidence from archaeology, on the other hand, continues to be revealed each summer as new structures and thousands of artifacts are discovered.
Every year numerous artifacts are uncovered at the archaeological dig in Ferryland. These discoveries aid scholars in their quest to piece together the history of the area.

When this new information is interpreted and added to existing knowledge, of whatever kind, the result is an ever-changing and ever-increasing understanding of the settlement of Ferryland from the early 1500s until the present day.

Director James Ivory and producer Ismail Merchant, who also brought E.M. Forster's novels "Maurice" and "Room With a View" to screen, have outdone themselves in the sublime "Howards End." A sumptuous return to Forster's England, it portrays a people as plump as the scones they devour at tea time and a mood as expansive as King Edward's waistline. At the same time, it reveals a perversely constricting under-structure of tightly laced corsets and lingering Victorianism. Something is bound to give, if only a stitch in the social fabric.
Set at the confluence of the 19th and 20th centuries, Forster's romantic satire concerns the shaky union of two disparate families through a succession of literary coincidences. The Schlegel sisters, vivacious European sophisticates, are fated by Forster's pen to repeatedly encounter, engage and enlighten the prosperous, veddy British Wilcoxes. On a visit to the Wilcoxes' manicured country home, blithe, flighty Helen Schlegel (Helena Bonham Carter) falls for the Wilcoxes' youngest son, an affair that ends so badly that the families would as soon avoid each other ever after.
Nevertheless, they meet again, when the Wilcoxes (Vanessa Redgrave and Anthony Hopkins) take a flat opposite the Schlegels' London town house. Saintly, shining Margaret Schlegel (Emma Thompson) becomes a good friend to the ailing Mrs. Wilcox, who leaves her estate, Howards End, to Margaret -- a bequest the Wilcoxes unanimously agree to ignore. As a penance for their duplicity, it seems the Wilcoxes can do nothing but run into the Schlegels. As a side effect, Mr. Wilcox becomes completely captivated by Margaret and to his children's horror, proposes to her. And much to the chagrin of the Schlegels, Margaret accepts.
The characters, all beautifully drawn to start with, seem not to have stepped from the pages of a leather-bound book, but straight out of pre-World War I England. That's thanks to the talents of Merchant and Ivory, whose careful reconstructions of the period are doubtless better than the real 1900s. The women might all have stepped out of a cameo and the men from Leicester Square. The black carriages gleam like a gentleman's top hat and the cobbles of the horse-trod streets are never fouled. Visits to the countryside bring clouds of wisteria and carpets thick with bluebells.
The story, however, is far from antique. Adapted by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, a frequent Merchant-Ivory collaborator, the screenplay seems perfectly suited to today, dealing as it does with everything from socioeconomic injustice to the women's rights movement. Mr. Wilcox might go unnoticed in "Wall Street," just as his first wife might step into the traditional mother's shoes in "Fatal Attraction." Wilcox, who advises against "taking up a sympathetic attitude for the poor," is set against the charitable Helen Schlegel, while the first Mrs. Wilcox, who observes, "I am thankful not to have the vote," is set against the second. Still, while the turn-of-the-century social fabric is wearing thin, there are the deeper, more spiritual ties that bind them.
Merchant and Ivory have regathered many of the cast and crew from their earlier films to work on this reproduction to exquisite effect. It is probably harder to gain sympathy for stuffy Mr. Wilcox than for Hannibal Lecter, yet Hopkins does it without seeming to try. And James Wilby, who plays spoiled heir Charles Wilcox, manages to be as shallow as a silver spoon. But the film's driving force is Thompson, who balances delicately along its ironic edge like a tightrope walker with an umbrella. Redgrave is delicacy itself, fine as bone china with a thin crack visible only when held up to the light. And Bonham Carter, who played opposite Mel Gibson in "Hamlet," obviously brings a little of mad Ophelia to her disconcertingly comic role.
Like all the other Merchant-Ivory-Jhabvala films, "Howards End" is fleet but not in a hurry. The scenes are clear and lean against the richness of the setting, but they flow leisurely toward the climax, like a punt bearing two lovers languidly downstream. Naturally the picture includes the punt and the lovers, the quiet stream, the willows moping along the verdant bank. If Merchant, Ivory and Jhabvala have anything to do with it, there'll always be an England.

PAYBACK? Justice Department going after Dem. Senator Bob Menendez on corruption charges
Interesting timing? U.S. Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) comes out hard against Obama and the Iran negotiations, and Eric Holder slaps him with a corruption charge on his way out. Menendez is the co-sponsor of the Corker-Menendez bill to enforce the sanctions against Iran.
Menendez has been making trouble for Obama's deal with Iran by insisting that the Senate do a number of things to keep Obama honest. He has also been one of the few Democrat Senators to oppose Obama on opening ties with Cuba, and has pushed for a more thorough investigation of the IRS.
Could this be a payback intended to push Menendez out of the way so that Obama can go ahead and sell out the U.S. and its Arab allies without interference?
From CNN:
The Justice Department is preparing to bring criminal corruption charges against New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez, a Democrat, alleging he used his Senate office to push the business interests of a Democratic donor and friend in exchange for gifts.
People briefed on the case say Attorney General Eric Holder has signed off on prosecutors' request to proceed with charges, CNN has learned exclusively. An announcement could come within weeks. Prosecutors are under pressure in part because of the statute of limitation on some of the allegations.
Regardless of what one thinks of Menendez and the allegations previously made against him, it does sound rather coincidental that federal charges are suddenly about to be filed against him after an apparent rift between the Senator and President Obama over policy.
Given how our Justice Department has been run the past six years, I highly doubt this is an accident. The dogs were set loose after Menendez dared to express opinions that deviated from the party line.
I would think that this indictment comes at no surprise to Menendez who had to know he was under investigation all along; if not directly, then through his association with this physician. If he has a strong defense against these charges, he should not be intimidated by Holder. In fact, if possible, he should go on the offensive against Obama's policies even more than he has.
If news reports are accurate the charges appear to have little chances of sticking but by that time Menendez's will have been destroyed. If guilty, he should be prosecuted but this seems more like Chicago politics with Obama's enforcer (Holder) trying to whip the Senator back in line.
Should any of the allegations be proven, Menendez is toast. Still, the timing seems very convenient to get him out of the way and stop interfering with Obama's Iran "deal"* at a crucial moment in those "negotiations."*
The fact that it is near the statute of limitations and has apparently been investigated for some time indicates that this is a punishment for not supporting the President or making sure he will tow the line in a significant future vote.
President Obama could be sending a message to other Democrats and Republicans who may oppose him.
The cynicism and dishonesty of this administration is mind-boggling. Going after Menendez would have been somewhat credible despite the timing had Justice not appointed a Democrat donor and clear political hack to investigate the IRS scandal. As it is Justice has absolutely no credibility.

During his time as U.S. Attorney General under President George Bush, Alberto Gonzales along with other legal eagles from the White House and Justice Department set out on a quest to redefine prisoner treatment and wiretapping after the 9/11 attacks. Gonzales wrote a confidential memo to Bush, which mysteriously made its way to the press, outlining ways to hold detainees without the protection of international law. He described "inhuman treatment" in the Geneva Conventions as vague and undefined. Gonzales and his band of renegade attorney's pushed international law as far as they possibly could to see how much they can get away with. Gonzales was Bush's old buddy from Texas who eventually would replace John Ashcroft as U.S. Attorney General in 2005.
In 2007, he was called to testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee to explain the dismissal of seven Department of Justice attorneys. During his absent-minded comments to the Senate, CODEPINK activist Midge Potts took advantage of the situation and unfurled a banner behind the U.S. Attorney General which was captured by a New York Times photographer.
In 2009, Spanish prosecutors were pressing forward in a criminal investigation targeting Alberto Gonzales, John Yoo, Jay Bybee, Douglas Feith, William Haynes, and David Addington over their role in the torture of five Spanish citizens held at Guantánamo.
Gonzales and other senior Bush administration officials still have not been held accountable for their roles in torture, wiretapping and forcing the U.S. into an unlawful war on Iraq. Currently, Gonzales lives a life of luxury as a political science instructor at Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas.

Arizona Executioners Had To Use 15 Doses of Lethal Drugs Before Inmate Finally Died
Senior ReporterBio | Follow
Documents released Friday afternoon in the case of Arizona's botched execution of Joseph Wood—who gasped for air and struggled, according to witnesses, repeatedly during the two-hour process—show that executioners used 15 separate doses of a new drug cocktail before Wood finally died. Lawyers had warned that the combination of 50 milligrams hydromorphone (a pain killer) and 50 milligrams of midazolam (a sedative) was rife with potential problems. (The state also has a long history of failing to follow its own protocol.) The documents suggest they were right.
"Instead of the one dose as required under the protocol, ADC injected 15 separate doses of the drug combination, resulting in the most prolonged execution in recent memory," said Dale Baich, Wood's lawyer. "This is why an independent investigation by a non-governmental authority is necessary."
Ohio used a similar drug cocktail in January to execute Dennis McGuire, who gasped and snorted for 25 minutes before finally succumbing, the longest execution in Ohio history. Arizona apparently increased the dosage of midazolam from what Ohio had used, but it doesn't seem to have gotten any better results.
When officials in Ohio and elsewhere first expressed their intent to experiment with the midazolam/hydromorphone combination, experts predicted, as Mother Jones' Molly Redden reported, that little was known about how the new drug combinations would work in executions. She wrote:
Jonathan Groner, a professor of clinical surgery at the Ohio State University College of Medicine who has written extensively on the death penalty, says effects of a hydromorphone overdose include an extreme burning sensation, seizures, hallucination, panic attacks, vomiting, and muscle pain or spasms. [David Waisel, an associate professor of anesthesiology at Harvard Medical School], who has testified extensively on capital-punishment methods, adds that a hydromorphone overdose could result in soft tissue collapse—the same phenomenon that causes sleep apnea patients to jerk awake—that an inmate who had been paralyzed would be unable to clear by jerking or coughing. Instead, he could feel as though he were choking to death.
Because hydromorphone is not designed to kill a person, Groner says, there are no clinical guidelines for how to give a lethal overdose. "You're basically relying on the toxic side effects to kill people while guessing at what levels that occurs," he explains.
The new Arizona documents suggest that these assessments were dead on.
State officials are using new drug combinations because pharmaceutical companies have been refusing to sell or export the drugs traditionally used in executions. The US has seen a shortage of those drugs for several years now, and death penalty states have gone to increasingly desperate measures to kill their condemned, everything from illegally importing the old drugs to buying them from dubious compounding pharmacies. Arizona illustrated the latest gambit—using new combinations of other available drugs, something critics have called an unethical human experiment.
States have also gone to great lengths to hide information about the drugs they're using in executions and how they're getting them. In Arizona, Wood was just the latest of many death row inmates who have tried and failed to force states to be more transparent. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals sided with Wood in late July and agreed that he had a right to know how he was going to die. But the US Supreme Court overruled that decision and allowed the execution to go forward.

========

To use LACE in a project::

    import lace # or
    from lace import cliff, morph, lace1, add_to_bin, lace2_simulator

The CLIFF func::

	cliff(attribute_names, data_matrix, independent_attrs, objective_attr, objective_as_binary=False, cliff_percentage=0.4)

:param attribute_names: the attribute names. This should match the data_matrix

:param data_matrix: the data to trim

:param independent_attrs: set up the independent attributes in the dataset. Note: 'name', 'id', etc. might not be
    considered as independent attributes

:param objective_attr: marking which attribute is the objective to be considered

:param objective_as_binary: signal to set up whether treat the objective as a binary attribute. Default: False

:param cliff_percentage: set up how many records to be remained. By default, it is 0.4

:return: the survived (valued) records

The MORPH func::

Apapa Family, a region within the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), holds the Excel program annually and this year I was opportune to attend. Excel is a free program which brings people together to worship and praise God. This year's program was themed "Riding On The Wings of Change" and was centered around harnessing the thrust of change.
The Excel 2015 program was highly publicized. Adverts for the program were all over the radio, tv and even on BRT buses so I wasn't surprised by the large turnout. The program organizers also provided free transportation to the venue which was Tafewa Balewa Square, Lagos. There was also going to be free medical check-up.
The Performances and Speeches: I enjoyed the performances by Nathaniel Bassey, Wale Adenuga and Frank Edwards. Their music ministered to me and I was really touched. I particularly liked the speech by the regional pastor, Pastor Idowu Iluyomade.
The Venue: I was glad they used TBS because the turnout was AMAZING. I mean over 5000 people! The only sad thing was the rain which disrupted some segments of the event but it eventually stopped raining.
The Sermon: The sermon was delivered by the General Overseer, and it was really educative. Daddy G.O is a great teacher and I never miss the opportunity to hear him speak.
The Medical Check-up: Although I didn't participate, I was glad they offered free medical check-up because people who couldn't afford a regular check-up had the opportunity to get checked for free!
The Rush for Food: My goodness! The hustle to get food was totally ridiculous. People were fighting one another for food and I couldn't deal. The meal package was a plate of fried rice and sachet water (popularly known as Pure Water).
The Level of Security: Although there were quite a number of policemen around, I really expected heightened security. I mean, over the top security because the vice president and governor were around. But that didn't seem to be the case.
In conclusion, I had a good time and Excel was an awesome time to connect with God. I'm looking forward to Excel 2016!

Human Freedom

Extract from lhmisen vapaus ('Human Freedom', 1950)
'Where are we?' Yvonne asked. 'This isn't the right street either. Somewhere between Alma and Georges V, they said. But there's no sign of an aquarium.'
'Talking of aquariums', I suggested, 'there's a dog shop near here where they wash dogs in the back room. If you like, I'll take you to see how they wash a dog. It's a very soothing experience.'
'You're crazy', said Yvonne.
My feelings were hurt. 'I may sleep badly', I admitted, 'but I love you. I walk up and down the embankments all night. My heart aches, my brain is on fire. Then comes blissful intoxication, and for a little while I can be happy. And all you can do is to keep nagging, Gertrude.'
She wrinkled her brow, but I went on impatiently, 'Look, Rose dear, just at present I have the whole world throbbing in my temples and in my finger-tips. Age-old poems are bubbling up within me. I am grieving for lost youth. I am boggling at the future. For just this one moment it is given to me to see life with the living eyes of a real human being. Why won't you let me be happy?'
'I have walked two hundred kilometres', said a low, timid voice at my elbow. I stopped. Yvonne had stuck her arm through mine. She, too, stopped. We both looked down and saw a little man. He doffed a ragged cap and bowed. Flushed scars glowed through a grey stubble of beard. He was wearing a much-patched battle-dress from which the badges had long since disappeared. His face was wrinkled, but the little eyes were animated and sorrowful. More…

Landscapes of the mind
Issue 2/1986 | Archives online, Fiction, poetry
Tuomas Anhava. Photo: Otava
In his book Suomalaisia nykykirjailijoita ('Contemporary Finnish writers'), Pekka Tarkka describes Tuomas Anhava's development as a poet as follows: In his first work, Anhava appears as an elegist of death and loneliness; and this classical temperament remains characteristic in his later work. Anhava is a poet of the seasons and the hours of the day, of the ages of man; and his scope is widened by the influence of Japanese and Chinese poetry. As well as his miniature, crystalclear, imagist nature poems, Anhava writes, in his Runoja 1961 ('Poems 1961'), brilliant didactic poems stressing the power of perception and rebuffing conceptual explanation. The mood in Kuudes kirja ('The sixth book', 1966) is of confessionary resignation and intimate subjectivity.
Anhava's literary inclinations reflect his most important translations, which include William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1959), selections of Japanese tanka poetry (1960, 1970, 1975), Saint John Perse's Anabasis (1960), a selection from the works of Ezra Pound, published under the title Personae, and selections from the work of the Finland-Swedish poets Gunnar Björling and Bo Carpelan.
Song of the black
My days must be black,
to make what I write stand out
on the bleached sheets of life,
my rage must be the colour of death, to make my black love stand out,
my nights must be summer white and snow white,
to make my black grief burn far,
since you're grieving and I love you
for your undying grief.
Let the sun's rolled gold gild dunghills,
let the moon's blue milk leak out till it's empty,
we're not short of those.
The obscure black darkness of the cosmic night
glitters on us enough.
From Runoja (1955)

The Cheap Contractor
From Kauan kukkineet omenapuut ('Long-blossoming apple trees', 1982). Introduction by Arto Seppälä
The men who delivered the hot-water cylinder offered to do the installation as well. I asked how much it would be. They lolled about a bit, exchanged a few private looks, pretended to be thinking. Then one of them fired off a sum. It was three times the quotation I'd already had. They didn't even look at the location. I told myself I wouldn't even go to the end of the road with big-dealers like these.
The same evening I rang up 'a little man' and told him he could get started as soon as it suited him.
The cheap contractor turned up a couple of days later, driving an elderly van into the yard. I went out. He'd sat himself down in a garden chair near the white lilacs. The morning sun only partially reached there; so half his body was in shade, looking colder than the sunny half. More…

Martti Joenpolvi. Photo: SKS archives
Martti Joenpolvi made his literary debut in 1959 at the age of 23, a young man who had been evacuated twice during the course of the Second World War and had eventually settled in an industrial town in the Häme region of southern Finland.
His first novel, Kevään kuusi päivää ('Six days in spring'), was in the best tradition of the so-called working-class novel. The book described a young worker's inner struggles and his quest for life from much the same standpoint as the classic novels of Väinö Linna, Lauri Viita and Toivo Pekkanen.
About ten years later Martti Joenpolvi began to write short stories, which were to prove an important complement to his as a novelist. At the same time he his narrative technique: his use of language become clearer and more.polished, and his unaffected style gained power through the use of symbolism and a dryish wit. At the same time his characters began to move in more middle-class surroundings; these people now had a position in society from which to view the world. More…

Noah Togiai
Tight End #86
College: Oregon State
Born: July 6, 1997
Noah Togiai: Won't suit up Week 17
Togiai (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Toigai came off injured reserve Jan. 2, having seemingly recovered from a knee issue that had held him out since Week 10. The 23-year-old won't suit up for Indianapolis' regular-season finale, however, as the Colts proceed with Jack Doyle, Trey Burton and Mo Alie-Cox as tight end options against Jacksonville.
January 3, 2021 12:34 PM EST
Noah Togiai: Back from IR
Togiai (knee) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Togiai is on track to play in Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, which will mark his first appearance since Week 10. The rookie out of Oregon State isn't expected to have much of an impact on offense, though, as Jack Doyle, Trey Burton and Mo Alie-Cox already command most of the reps at tight end.
January 2, 2021 10:20 AM EST
Noah Togiai: Back at practice
Togiai (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis: Togiai now has 21 days to be evaluated and activated from IR. Prior to his injury, the undrafted rookie out of Oregon State played in just four games and failed to catch his only target. Once he's ready to return, he'll slot in behind Jack Doyle, Trey Burton and Mo Alie-Cox (knee).
December 23, 2020 7:26 PM EST
Noah Togiai: Lands on IR
Togiai (knee) has been placed on the Colts' injured reserve.
Analysis: Togiai was claimed off waivers prior to Week 1 and has played in four games for Indianapolis this season. With only four weeks left in the regular season, the earliest he could potentially return is Week 17, which makes a return this season seemingly unlikely at this point.
December 5, 2020 9:30 AM EST
Noah Togiai: Pops up as questionable
Togiai (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Texans.
Analysis: Togiai was absent from the injury report until Friday, when he was a limited participant in practice before being handed the questionable tag. The 23-year-old tight end adds depth at the position and has handled a modest role. Over four games, he has averaged 18.1 offensive snaps per game.
December 4, 2020 5:31 PM EST
Noah Togiai: Shakes off injury
Togiai (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: After sitting out Week 11 with a knee injury, Togiai appears to be available moving forward. The undrafted rookie is still in danger of being a healthy scratch for this week's game against the Titans, as Jack Doyle, Trey Burton and Mo Alie-Cox are all healthy.
Noah Togiai: Unavailable Sunday
Togiai (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Analysis: The 23-year-old received the questionable tag after sitting out Thursday's and Friday's practices, and he won't be suiting up versus Green Bay. Togiai may have been inactive regardless of the injury with Trey Burton, Jack Doyle and Mo Alie-Cox all available.
November 22, 2020 12:27 PM EST
Noah Togiai: Questionable tag for Sunday
Togiai (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Packers.
Analysis: Togiai wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday but didn't practice Thursday or Friday, which has him trending in the wrong direction going into the weekend. Even if he's given the green light, however, he's in danger of being a healthy scratch if Jack Doyle (concussion) is active.
Noah Togiai: Not suiting up Week 4
Togiai (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears, Mike Wells of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Togiai played 53 offensive snaps over the past two weeks and failed to catch his lone target, and he won't be available Sunday as a healthy scratch. Trey Burton (calf) returned from injured reserve Saturday and will be in the mix with Jack Doyle and Mo Alie-Cox.
October 4, 2020 12:30 PM EST
Noah Togiai: Eyeing expanded Week 2 role
Togiai could make his NFL debut and play on offense during Sunday's game against the Vikings with Jack Doyle (ankle) ruled out, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
Analysis: Togiai, an undrafted rookie whom the Colts claimed earlier this month, didn't see any on-field action Week 1. However, with Doyle out for Week 2 and Trey Burton (calf) on injured reserve, he looks primed to operate as Indianapolis' No. 2 tight end behind Mo-Alie Cox. Togiai could see some looks in the passing game in addition to being used as a blocker, but he still remains off the fantasy radar in all but the deepest of formats.
September 18, 2020 12:56 PM EST
Noah Togiai: Finds new team
Togiai was claimed off waivers by the Colts on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Togiai was cut loose by the Eagles on Saturday, but didn't have to wait long to find a new home. The Oregon State product finds an interesting home in Indianapolis, especially considering Jack Doyle (neck) and Trey Burton (calf) are dealing with injury. Togiai could see some pass catching work, but those two are healthy, he'll likely be used as a blocking tight end in 2020.
September 6, 2020 10:11 AM EST
Noah Togiai: Lands on waivers
The Eagles waived Togiai on Saturday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The undrafted free agent apparently had a solid training camp, but the team opted to keep just Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert as its tight ends to start the season. If Togiai finds another landing spot, it'll likely be in a depth role where he can prove his run-blocking upside.


Most of us are continually searching for ways to keep our vehicle in peak condition. We know that our regular commute can have an impact both on the interior and the exterior of the vehicle and we're looking for ways in which to improve the appeal of the vehicle for the long-term. To help guide this process, it's important to consider all the service options for cleaning your vehicle. And so, this latest post, we'll provide you with all you need to know about the car wash and detail process.
For those that own a vehicle they would like to sell at some point in the future, keeping it in immaculate condition is imperative. By committing to the auto detailing process, vehicle owners can ensure they achieve a significant return on investment when it comes time to sell their car. The detailing process, when completed by professionals, helps ensure that any stains within the vehicle are removed effectively in a quick timeframe. It ensures that upholstery is cleaned so that odors are removed. It also helps keep the exterior in great condition so that when it comes time to sell, you can take great pictures of a vehicle that's in like-new condition.
While detailing is a deep cleaning process that relies mostly on hard work and precision, it's important that the cleaning process is completed by a professional. Only those with dedicated experience can ensure value for money within the detailing process. Professionals can help to maximize the long-term value of the vehicle by cleaning each part of the interior professionally. They can use their experience to get tough stains out of the interior fabric and to minimize material damage during the cleaning process.
While you might think you're saving money by taking a DIY approach to the detailing process. The DIY detailing work can actually be costly both in the short and long-term. When you go it alone in the detail and car wash process, you may find you use the wrong chemical within the vehicle. This could cause permanent damage to the upholstery. You might also use poorly designed cleaning products that remove the exterior paint or corrode wheel wells. Working with a professional detail and car wash company is the best way to mitigate this type of damage.
Our team at Royal Car Wash & Detail Center is here to guide the auto detailing process! To learn more on our company and the services we provide, contact us today!

Notes on Action
DescriptionTRN4
Lord Bridport with ten sail of the line sailed on June 1st, for Basque road, and, on June 4th, sighted the Spanish squadron, which, as soon as it perceived him, moved to the road of Aix. The Admiral remained off Rochefort until the 8th, when he returned to England with the Royal George, 100, Atlas, 98, Achilles, 74, and Agincourt, 64, leaving, as a blockading force, the six 74-gun ships Mars (flag of Rear-Admiral the Hon. George Cranfield Berkeley), Venerable, Renown, Ajax, Ramillies, and Robust. Within the next few weeks, this squadron was joined by the Sans Pareil, 80, the Royal George, 100 (then bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Charles Morice Pole), and several bombs and small craft; and, on the other hand, the Mars and Ramillies parted company. On July 2nd, Pole made an attack upon the Spanish ships, which were moored in line ahead between the Isle of Aix and the Boyart shoal, and which were protected by a floating mortar battery; but it was soon found that the French mortars were of so much greater range than the British that, while the latter could not reach their target at all, the former threw shells well over not only the British bombs but also the covering frigates. When, therefore, the enemy, finding that he could not be injured, began to assume the offensive, and to send gunboats to inflict additional annoyance upon the attacking party, both frigates and bombs were ordered to weigh and stand out. They were followed, for a time, by the hostile gunboats; and, in consequence, the French claimed the affair as a British defeat; but the fact is that on neither side was there any loss or damage. For some time afterwards, the Spaniards were blockaded, but in the middle of September they managed to put to sea.
