Greensboro, GA (March 12, 2013) - With the 77th Masters Tournament just weeks away, nearby Reynolds Plantation is putting the finishing touches on the initial multi-million dollar renovation. Nearly every facet of the award-winning residential golf community—from the 117 holes of breathtaking championship golf, to the AAA Five Diamond The Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation—is getting polished-up for spring.
"If the media is still reporting a poor economy, they didn't get the memo at Reynolds Plantation," said Daniel Corporation executive John Gunderson, who heads owner MetLife's initiatives at the community.
While the membership has been having fun; golf crews have been hard at work preparing the courses for even more activity in 2013. Beginning at Great Waters, the famed Jack Nicklaus Signature course, enhancements to some of the waterfront holes and refurbishments to cart paths, comfort stations, and a newly painted clubhouse greeted golfers earlier this season.
Reynolds Plantation also welcomed back noted course architect Bob Cupp to revisit his original masterpiece, The Landing, together with former Augusta National golf course superintendent Billy Fuller. Under their watchful eyes, The Landing is undergoing a renovation that includes hole redesign, new bunkering, the expansion of tee boxes and a new set of forward tees, as well as work on the cart paths and buildings. Moreover, much of Cupp's original atmosphere is being recaptured with the planting of peripheral ornamental grasses that evoke a "heath land" feel while adding shape and challenges to many holes. The Landing is scheduled to re-open in April.
At the same time, The Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation, is undergoing an extensive renovation to the grounds, exterior, main dining venue Georgia's Bistro, and all 251 guest rooms, suites, and cottages. Work will be done in time for The Masters. A new coffee shop has been added to The Ritz-Carlton's amenities and will feature Starbucks® coffee, Ben and Jerry's® ice cream, and other retail items.
Also this spring, excitement is building for the opening of Sandy Creek Barn, the latest addition to the numerous distinctive amenity venues at Reynolds Plantation. Members of the Club and guests of The Ritz-Carlton Lodge will enjoy the pastoral setting of this fully restored 1820s-era Pennsylvania Dutch barn overlooking a private 44-acre lake and set among 800 acres of pine forest. The barn will offer a unique alternative for corporate retreats, family reunions, and memory-filled weddings.
Investments at Reynolds Plantation will continue this summer with plans for additional course renovations, the new National clubhouse, and special plans with TaylorMade for the Kingdom at Reynolds Plantation and with GOLF Magazine Top 100 Instructor Charlie King for the Reynolds Golf Academy. It promises to be a very busy year.

Wall Street's worried as new rules loom for tech giants like Facebook
John McDuling
National Business Editor
April 29, 2018 — 10.05pm
As Australia reels over revelations of rampant misconduct in its financial services sector, America is coming to grips with the scary dominance of its tech giants.
After a troubling few months, particularly for Facebook, it seems a matter of if, not when, the iconic tech companies that increasingly dominate the US stockmarket, and modern life, will face a more onerous regulatory burden than they enjoy now.
Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg spent about 10 hours answering to US Senate and House politicians over the past two days Credit:Bloomberg
"We are in uncharted territory today, with companies doing hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue and still growing at rates of 20-25 per cent," Goldman Sachs analysts said in lengthy tome on this very topic last week.
"Regulators have never had to deal with something like this before—and it's happening at a much faster rate than they are used to."
In recent weeks, US president Donald Trump has repeatedly taken aim at Amazon, probably because its chief executive and founder Jeff Bezos personally owns the Washington Post - which has broken a string of stories damaging to him.
Trump has accused the e-commerce firm of dodging taxes and ripping off the publicly funded postal service, ordering an investigation into the latter.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court (which is entirely independent of Trump, yet currently dominated by conservative leaning justices) is considering whether to hear a case that could see state sales taxes imposed upon Amazon and other e-commerce companies.
Facebook has incurred the wrath of legislators (chief executive Mark Zuckerberg was recently hauled before Congress) after it emerged that data of millions of users had been harvested by Cambridge Analytica, a political consultancy that worked for the Trump campaign in 2016.
The social media behemoth is also being investigated by the Federal Trade Commission, a key competition agency, over this episode.
Google's YouTube business was last hit year by an advertiser backlash after it failed to deal with hate speech and extremist content. Even Apple has not been immune from the backlash after some of its own investors called on it to do more to stop smartphone addiction.
As I have written previously, the tech sector, which not long ago enjoyed broad bipartisan support in its home market, is suddenly looking politically isolated in the US.
Republicans don't trust it- most people who work in tech are ultra-progressive on social issues; and Democrats have been turned off by the industry's growing stranglehold over vast swathes of the economy, and the questionable practises of some of its participants.
Despite this changing political climate, Congress is still plagued by paralysis - its doubtful whether it can get anything done. As a result, it may fall to institutions removed from the short term political process, such as the FTC or the Supreme Court, to act.
In Europe, the climate for big American tech companies is even frostier. Competition laws in Europe are different to America's - they are less narrowly focused on impacts to prices paid by consumers, and unlike the US don't assume that markets ultimately work.
Google was last year hit with a record €2.4 billion ($A3.84 billion) fine by European competition regulators for (trivial sounding) breaches of rules relating to online shopping ads. The stakes are much higher now.
Anyone with a grasp of business history will recognise the significance of Wall Street fixating on the question of regulating big tech.
Europe is also being much more aggressive on regulating privacy issues. The EU's GDPR (General Data Production Regulation) regime comes into effect next month. It will affect any industry that collects data on its customers.
For the the likes of Google and Facebook it will require users to "opt-in" to allow their data be used for various purposes. Under a worst case scenario, Goldman estimates that Google's advertising revenue could be hit by 2 per cent, and Facebook's by as much as 7 per cent, due to GDPR.
Notably, other analysts have argued GDPR could actually benefit the tech giants, as complying with it will prove burdensome for many smaller companies.
For instance, Credit Suisse has described GDPR as an "unambiguous positive for operators such as Facebook", arguing it has a higher likelihood of receiving approval from users than other internet firms who might interact with customers less frequently.
Anyone with a rudimentary grasp of recent business history will recognise the significance of Wall Street firms increasingly fixating on the question of regulating big tech.
Goldman, famously described by Rolling Stone a "great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity", was itself the centre of consumer anger, and regulatory scrutiny, only a short while ago.
It's barely a decade since Wall Street plunged the world's biggest economy (and the world economy) into the worst recession since the Great Depression of the 1920s and 1930s.
Australia, through a combination of luck and skill, dodged the worst of the that crisis. As a result, our financial institutions didn't really suffer the kind of backlash they are only just beginning to witness now as a result of the scandals exposed by the royal commission.
America's biggest financial firms, Goldman included, know all too well what a populist backlash, and ensuing regulation, looks and feels like. It's something the country's tech sector will be desperate to avoid.

It takes thought and research to find the camp that is best for your special needs child. Here are some steps to take to ensure you find the right camp for your child.
Consider your child's desires. Your child will do better if he helps with decision making. Does he want to go to camp? What kind of camp? What activities does he hope to participate in?
Decide on duration, location and cost. Consider what you want. Do you want your child to stay a week? Longer? How far away? What if the best camp for your child is in another state or across the country? How much can you pay? The cost of a special needs camp can vary widely. Check with local organizations for sponsors or scholarships.
Make a list of camps that match the criteria on your list. Go to the websites listed here or ask other parents for camp recommendations. List the ones in which you are interested. Then find out more about each.
Know what kind of training the staff receives. This varies by whether your child attends a camp specifically for special needs children or a traditional camp that accepts children with certain needs. Is medical staff available at all times? Do counselors know how to deal with your child's specific challenges?
Know what kinds of children attend the camp. Just because a camp says it accepts ADHD children or kids with disabilities doesn't mean that they have any attend – or that they are set up to work with and nurture these children. A camp may be willing to accept children with asthma, but not be able to accommodate wheelchairs for many of the activities. Or they may accept children with physical disabilities but not be accepting of behavior disorders. Find out how much a camp truly deals with children with special needs.
Find out about child-to-caregiver ratios. How many children are in each cabin? How many counselors are there per child? Find out if the number of counselors means adult counselors or counselors in training.
Check that the camp is clean, safe and in good repair. If possible, visit the camp. That's the best way to know what it's really like. Are wheelchair ramps in good condition? Are the cabins clean with screens on the windows? Are bathrooms and showers accessible for your child? Are there wide paths? Is there a place for your child to sit apart from the group if he needs to calm down? Is play equipment clean and in good repair? Does the camp seem bright and cheerful? If you can't visit, ask for a video.
Communicate with the staff. Once you've chosen the best camp for your child, contact the camp director and be sure that your child will have everything she needs for a positive camp experience. You will be more relaxed about sending your child to camp if you know she will receive her medicine at the right time, have the diet she needs and get appropriate help with daily care.

POST: ''Tis Pity She's A Whore' What causes attraction?
Amelia Pedlow and Matthew Amendt in Tis Pity She's a Whore. Photo by Richard Termine
From Khalil:
I found the seats at The Duke to be commodious, a rare thing for most venues, and an often sought thing by fuller-figured theatregoer, such as myself. That said, I wasn't there for the seats, I was there for the play.
When I heard the actors speaking in what so many wrongly consider "Old English" but better called "Shakespearean Verse" - I was instantly annoyed. I go to plays to relax and enjoy the content, not put my brain in overdrive to decipher everything that's being said onstage. For me, it takes away from the show, as it proves taxing on the mind.
Adjusting to the language was doable, though frustrating, so after jumping that hurdle I had to deal with the content. I consider myself a romantic so seeing a classic story of star-crossed lovers, an avant-garde version of Romeo and Juliet excited me. Learning it was an incestuous pair made me feel disgusted. I have an older sister, and such a relationship of sexual intimacy would not even be fathomed. The thought is sickening and beyond the bounds of what I consider taboo. I don't consider myself to be conservative in the least, but I'm not that forward thinking to accept incestuous relationships, I'd slap my sister if she tried some weird mess like that. Maybe if it was a couple of cousins I'd be willing to turn my head, but come the fuck on, this was just gross. I felt itchy and uneasy, I just could not get beyond the fact that a brother and sister were sexing it up.
Kieran poses an interesting question, what makes us fall in love? I think love is too hard to define because it exists in multiple capacities, and I believe our humanity is defined by our unique capability to love simultaneously on these different levels. The better question I feel is: What causes attraction?
I have no answer to truly make sense of the romance played out on stage, but to call Giovanni and Annabella victims, I wouldn't go that far.
From Kieran:
Going to this show, I wasn't sure exactly what I was getting myself into... and it turned out to be an incestuous version of Romeo and Juliet. Despite my discomfort with the concept, I found my curiosity peaking as I walked into the theater. Khalil and I found our seats and waited for the show to begin. Sitting in the audience I felt both my face and stomach twist in a way that I had to force myself to correct. The thought of incest bounced around in my head and of course I became overcome by a feeling of apprehension.
As the lights dimmed and the audience simmered down I noticed that the elderly woman two seats over was a heavy breather, which by the second act became a heavy snore. For the first twenty minutes of the show, between the Old English style of the script and my friend two seats over, I found myself distracted. When I allowed myself to concentrate, the Old English wasn't that bad and I was able to "translate" it to modern speech. I honestly felt like the language kept me from being immersed in the show.
To see the siblings Giovanni and Annabella go from hiding their love for each other to admitting their feelings and then acting on them... was for me cringe worthy. Actually that's exactly what I did, cringe as I yelled in my head "STOP, JUST STOP!". As the show continued, I saw how much Giovanni truly loved Annabella and although I was against the relationship, it was both touching and heartbreaking. They were truly in a beautiful nightmare.
The more I thought about it, strangely enough, I sympathized with the tragedy. It was this fact that took me by surprise more then anything else in the show. Incest, one of the biggest most uncomfortable taboos in our society... made relatable?
What exactly makes us fall in love?
s this duo a victim of circumstance or just two people who fell into the downward spiral of lust and lack of self- control?

President's daughter in bid to woo Muslim vote
South China Morning Post - April 1, 1997
Jenny Grant, Jakarta – The appearance of President Suharto's daughter, Siti Hardiyanti Rukmana, with Indonesia's most influential Muslim leader, Abdurrahman Wahid, at a weekend rally signifies the beginnings of a powerful alliance.
Ms Rukmana, the deputy chairman of the ruling Golkar party, appeared at the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) meeting in Semarang, central Java, along with her military ally, army chief General Hartono. The 30-million strong NU is Indonesia's largest Islamic organisation.
The President's daughter shied away from wearing the usual Golkar party yellow, donning a white-lace Islamic head dress for her 15-minute speech.
Experts see Ms Rukmana's appearance as the start of an alliance between NU, Golkar and a pro-Suharto faction of the military before the May 29 election.
Pro-government analyst Amir Santoso said: "There is an effort from both sides to get close to each other for the election."
Mr Wahid, also known as Gus Dur, said the event was mutually beneficial to Golkar and NU. "It's not taking sides in the elections. It is reciprocal. We introduce her to the crowd and she uses the opportunity to pull the crowd to Golkar."
Mr Wahid said NU members could vote for whatever party they wanted at the polls in which 120 million Indonesians are expected to cast ballots for one of the three official parties - Golkar, the Muslim-oriented United Development Party and the Indonesian Democratic Party.
Mr Wahid said he wanted to give Ms Rukmana the chance to enhance her image among NU members.
"She is a rising star and we think she will go far," he said.
"We have done this for other well-known people and maybe we will do it for her brother, Bambang, too."
Bambang Trihatmodjo, Mr Suharto's second eldest son, is a successful businessman with interests in broadcasting, construction and telecommunications. He is also the treasurer of Golkar.
Mr Wahid has been an outspoken supporter of democracy in Indonesia. His Democracy Forum group campaigns on human rights issues and he wields great political clout.
About 90 per cent of Indonesia's 200 million people follow Islam.
Mr Santoso said: "For a long time, Gus Dur has been a government opponent. Now he wants to move closer to the Government, both for his personal ambition and because of pressure from inside NU."

In patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis, 30% of sustained HCV clearance has been reported with pegylated interferon alpha-2a (PEG-IFN) alone, but the efficacy and tolerability of the PEG-IFN/ribavirin (RBV) combination remain poorly defined. A total of 124 treatment-naïve patients with biopsy proved HCV-related advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis (Ishak score F4-F6, Child-Pugh score < or =7) were randomized to 48 weeks of PEG-IFN (180 microg sc weekly) and standard dose of RBV (1000/1200 mg po daily, STD) or PEG-IFN (180 microg sc weekly) and low-dose of RBV (600/800 mg po daily, LOW). Sustained virologic response (SVR) rates with PEG-IFN/STD RBV (52%) were higher--albeit not significantly--than that with PEG-IFN/LOW RBV (38%, P = 0.153). In multivariate analysis, genotype 2/3 and a baseline platelet count > or =150 x 10(9)/L were independently associated with SVR. The likelihood of SVR was < 7% if viraemia had not declined by > or =2 log or to undetectable levels after 12 weeks. Nine adverse events in the STD RBV and 15 in the LOW RBV group were classified as severe (including two deaths); dose reductions for intolerance were required in 78% and 57% (P = 0.013), and treatment was terminated early in 23% and 27% of patients (P = n.s.). The benefit/risk ratio of treating compensated HCV-cirrhotics with STD PEG-IFN/RBV is favourable.

These are the best days. We wait for these days, we hope for them, we dream of them for months on end. The perfect days.
One of the many great things about living in the Midwest is the appreciation we have for these September days. We don't take them for granted — that's for sure. When the days grow shorter there is only one thing to do: everything you possibly can to live those last sunshiney September days to their fullest.
There's a reason so many "touristy" places are on all those handy-dandy must see lists, but as a local it's easy to take them for granted. If you can manage, see the sights on a weekday, but if not, don't worry! You're a tourist on vacation, remember? Live the adventure, all with the quiet confidence that you know the secret place to find parking and the best shop for ice cream afterwards.
Follow the path a little further.
The road less traveled applies to you too — challenge yourself to go just a little further (past all those people) and you might be surprised at what you find!
Your spot. The one that can be just yours for a moment. Ours was in Minnehaha Park in South Minneapolis — we'll let you borrow it until you find your own spot.
There are few experiences that can't be improved with cheese. Plus, being hangry really puts a damper on your adventure. Pack a light picnic with all your favorite in-season fares — fall harvest is the most delicious time to eat local.
Cheese, obviously: We found a great wild rice gouda at Lunds!
A fresh baguette to go with that cheese. Patisserie 46 in Minneapolis is tops in our hearts.
Pearson's Salted Nut Rolls: St. Paul's pride and joy, the perfect sugar rush.
Honeycrisp apples, created at our very own University of Minnesota.
Our farmers market has locally grown mini cucumbers right now. Totally adorable, totally delicious. Find your closest farmers market!
Capture your day the old-fashioned way. Sure you could Instagram every adorable detail (we did... and you should! #themidwestival), but slow down with some film photography to go along with your new carefree attitude. It's fun reliving the moments when you finally remember to develop the film in the dead of winter.
Bye-bye flowers. See you next year.
How are you going to spend your perfect September day? Let us know in the comments!

In light of recent violent incidents against journalists, both the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and Amnesty International have called on the Georgian government to uphold the rights and freedom of the media, and investigate thoroughly acts of aggression, and intimidation against representatives of the media.
The incident occurring on 12 July, in the village of Karaleti in the Shida Qartli region in Central Georgia, resulted in ten journalists from the Info-9 news agency, Metskhre Arkhi (TV9), Trialeti and the Shida Qartli Information Centre who were covering campaign activities of the opposition coalition Georgia Dream being sent to a hospital in Gori to have their injuries treated after fighting erupted. Media reports show several local residents verbally insulting and demanding that the Georgian Dream supporters leave the village immediately. As a confrontation developed, video recordings of the incident show residents throwing stones at the Georgian Dream activists and members of the press. As the media representatives and opposition supporters retreat, a man accompanying them is seen brandishing a gun. Six people, four opposition activists and two village residents, have been arrested and sentenced to 15 days of administrative detention according to the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs following the altercation in Karaleti. According to a lawyer for the Georgian Dream coalition, there were four principal agitators, allegedly connected to the United National Movement (UNM), who remain at large despite the opposition providing photo and video evidence which demonstrates their involvement in the violence.
The appeal states that "the step taken by the prosecutor's office together with the court contradicts [the democratic] principles declared by Georgia and prevents people from making an informed choice in the upcoming parliamentary elections," noting, "it is completely unacceptable [to use] state institutions against [the] media, such as the prosecutor's office and the court, especially when it is done for political reasons." Tamar Chugoshvili, chair of the Georgian Young Lawyer's Association, is concerned that the number of cases hindering the work of the media in Georgia is increasing. She said that a serious issue in Georgia remains the fact that political neutrality does not exist. She noted, that the line between the ruling political party and the government is very unclear, making it difficult to distinguish between the activities of the UNM and the authorities.
Report prepared for CEW by Karina Gould with reporting from on line Georgian media and the websites of the OSCE and Amnesty International.


We do not believe that the perfection of the Bible was limited to only the "original manuscripts" as they were first recorded by the human authors. We believe that God has preserved His Word for all time. (Psalm 12:6-7; Mark 13:31; Luke 16:17; 1 Peter 1:25) We believe that the King James Version (first published in 1611) is the preserved Word of God in English, having been translated from the Hebrew Masoretic Text and the Greek Textus Receptus. Consequently, the King James Bible is the only English Bible version that we use for all doctrine, teaching and preaching.
God is the Creator of all things (Genesis 1:1; John 1:1-3), and that all things consist (and therefore exist) by His power (Colossians 1:17).
We believe that Jesus Christ (God in the flesh) came to earth for the express purpose of shedding His blood and dying for our sins on a cross, literally paying what we owe in hell. We believe that He physically died, was buried and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3). God now offers salvation as a free gift (paid for by Jesus Christ) to the entire world as individuals.
We believe that Jesus Christ started His church (Matthew 16:18). The word 'church' means a 'called-out assembly'. Therefore, we believe that the church is local (i.e. in a city) and not universal (i.e. world-wide).
We believe that the local church is a 'visible expression' of Christ's body (1 Corinthians 12:27), having leadership (pastors (also called 'elders' and 'bishops') and deacons) (Philippians 1:1), membership (Acts 2:41; 5:13), doctrine (Acts 2:42), ordinances (Baptism and the Lord's Supper) (1 Corinthians 11:2), a main purpose (Mark 16:15), and regular meetings (Acts 20:7).
We believe that baptism is meant for people who have experienced salvation (Acts 2:38). It is therefore not for babies or for lost persons. There is no Biblical example of a baby being baptized, nor is there an example of any lost person being intentionally baptized.
We believe the Lord's Supper (also called the Lord's 'Table' and 'Communion') is a picture of Christ's death and our relationship with Him. We are to do it in "remembrance" of Him (1 Corinthians 11:24-25).
1 Corinthians 11:23-34 indicates the Lord's Supper is for the local church and it is only for the saved people who are in a right relationship with Jesus Christ through confession of personal sin and obedience to His will. The unsaved (the "unworthy") and Christians who are not right with God are not to partake. Christians are instructed to "judge" their own personal sin (i.e. admitting, confessing to Jesus and forsaking it) (1 Corinthians 11:31).
The Bible sets forth no timetable as to how often a local church is to observe the Lord's Supper, but for many years Grace Baptist Church has been in the habit of observing it once a month.
We believe the local church has been formed by Jesus Christ for the purpose of worshiping God, fellowship, the ordinances, teaching and preaching, discipline (for unruly members), and world-wide evangelism.
To us, 'missions' has very little to do with the relief of poverty or physical sickness. Instead, it has everything to do with getting lost people saved and organized into a local church of their own, so that they can take part (as a local church) in reaching the world with the gospel.
We use a 'literal' or a 'face-value' style (also called a 'common sense' approach) to understanding the whole Bible, and this includes the prophecy parts of the Bible.
We believe that the modern charismatic movement (and Pentecostalism) as evidenced in 'tongues speaking', 'faith-healing', 'extra-Biblical utterances' and spectacular displays (i.e. laughing / shaking, being 'slain in the Spirit') is not of God but is an invention of men or Satan, or both.
Calvinism refers to a system of theological beliefs which had its beginnings with John Calvin (A.D. 1509 – 1564). Perhaps their principal teaching would be the absolute sovereignty of God, which (to them) allows man no free-will or free-choice.
Arminianism refers to a system of theological beliefs which had its beginnings with Jacobus Arminius (A.D. 1560 – 1609). Perhaps their most famous belief is that a saved person can lose their salvation and end up in hell. As such, it means that human, sin-prone man (once saved) must continually add his continued faith and continued works to Christ's finished work on the cross in order for him to get to heaven.
The proper study of both Calvinism and Arminianism is clearly outside the scope of this doctrinal statement, but suffice it to say that Grace Baptist Church is neither Calvinist nor Arminianist.
The Bible verses that accompany each point are by no means 'exhaustive', but are simply meant as references to illustrate that particular point.

Ireland Baldwin and Kim Basinger in make-up free mother-daughter selfie
Ireland Baldwin snagged an opportunity to take a photo of her mother Kim Basinger completely make-up free and apparently peacefully sleeping as she revealed in a cute Instagram snap on Monday.
Ireland Baldwin, 17, was also without make-up for the cute mother-daughter snap, and it was clear where she got her natural beauty from.
They appeared to be relaxing as they watched television in bed together.
Ireland Baldwin snagged an opportunity to take a photo of her mother Kim Basinger completely make-up free and apparently peacefully sleeping
Ireland Baldwin playfully pokes her tongue out at her mother as Kim Basinger has her eyes closed and a hairband keeping her hair off her completely clear face.
"She wasn't as excited about Kids Jeopardy as I was…" Ireland Baldwin wrote alongside the photo.
Kim Basinger, now 59, started her career as a fashion model and has graced magazine covers worldwide, usually clad head-to-toe in spectacular ensembles and, of course, made up.
So it was a rare opportunity to see the actress in her natural state and refreshing to see just how beautiful she really is.
Ireland Baldwin, who is now taking the plunge into a modeling career, cannot get enough of social media and is known to use Instagram and Twitter frequently to communicate to the world, particularly to express how much she adores her boyfriend Slater Trout.

Whether one travels 'cattle class' or business class from Delhi to Riyadh, one encounters boorish, nouveau riche, first-generation fellow travellers. Indians in Saudi Arabia stand out not only for their linguistic bonds but also their penchant for regionalism, opportunism and the relentless pursuit of money. Of the total population of 28 million, expatriates account for about 6 million and Indians 1.8 million. Of these 1.8 million, Malayalis form the majority, followed by people from the Hyderabad region. There's also a fair sprinkling of people from Bihar. Regional affinities persist even here and if the choice is between fraternising with a north Indian Muslim and a Malayali Hindu, a Malayali Muslim will opt for the latter. Most interestingly, Indian and Pakistani Muslims don't mingle even for religious purposes. The Times of India and Jang may have set in motion their 'Aman ki Asha' campaign to bring civil society on both sides of the divide closer, but going by the evidence available in Riyadh, there's not much fraternising with the 'enemy', even when the opportunity exists.
When one meets 'well-to-do' Indians in Saudi Arabia, the male of the species usually comes off second best. And there's generally a mismatch in age between him and his partner. The husband, in most cases, is of mediocre intellect, and as far as looks and deportment are concerned, the wife is streets ahead. In most cases, she's convent-educated and smartly dressed, while the husband's appearance leaves much to be desired. The reason behind this apparent dichotomy is very simple. Getting a decent match for girls from well-to-do families has never been easy, so parents often settle for those affluent young men who have made their fortune in the Gulf.
On one of my visits, I met a lady who had done BA honours in English literature from St Stephen's College and was married to a mechanic—a diploma holder in mechanical engineering—who had done his schooling in Hindi medium. The 'boy', in his forties, was ordinary looking. After a long, hard struggle, he had made a lot of money and was the owner of a showroom of expensive cars. His wife was 22, petite and dark haired. In another case, the mother of the woman was an MLA from a north Indian state. The woman's parents were freedom fighters and colleagues of Nehru. She was beautiful and had studied in the best schools and colleges of India. But she was married to a boy who came from a modest background. After clearing his higher secondary from a government school in north India, he had come to Saudi Arabia and become a salesman, eventually making enough money to become a partner in a mall. He was also an outrageous flirt. Even today, the phrase 'LarkaSaudi mein hai' conjures magic, and parents on the lookout for a decent match for their girls do not enquire about the prospective groom's job profile or schooling.
The majority of Indian expatriates in Saudi Arabia belong to the first generation. They are mostly diploma holders in civil and mechanical engineering. They pride themselves on being fully 'suited-booted', even though there is a terrible mismatch between their suits and the temperature here, which generally hovers around 48°C in summer. They make loud statements with their choice of colours and choose to wear suits even during weekends.
I have interesting memories of my travels to Riyadh. I particularly recall being in the audience at a function which featured the redoubtable Amar Singh as chief guest. It was an annual 'Sir Syed Day Dinner', a very 'alive' tradition among AMU alumni the world over to remember the founder of their alma mater. The function was organised at a five-star hotel and the host doubled up as compere. He was not well-versed in Urdu, Hindi or English and seemed to have lifted his introduction of Amar Singh verbatim from the internet. With his poor knowledge of languages, he made many a faux pas. The one that has stuck in my memory is that he said Singh had the reputation of being a "fixer" in Indian politics. This was not the end of the story. When Singh read out his speech, prepared by the compere in Persianised Urdu and perhaps written in the Devanagri script, most of the references to Sir Syed turned out to be wrong.
Saudi immigration laws are quite simple but rigid. The visa mentions your job profile and subsequently, everything is organised according to this document during your stay in the country. An apocryphal story doing the rounds is that when a lion was served his lunch on reaching the Riyadh zoo, he found it was vegetarian fare. When the lion protested, the zoo management found the recruiting agent had fiddled with the lion's papers and exported him as a ram. So, as per the norms, he was provided a vegetarian meal.

Sam's Club Will Layoff About 2,300 Employees
It's the latest retail chain to announce big layoffs this month
By Noah Rayman Jan. 24, 2014
Sam's Club, the membership-only warehouse unit owned by Walmart, is laying off about 2,300 employees in its largest wave of job cuts in four years, the Wall Street Journal reports. It is one of several retail chains to announce steep job cuts in January.
The layoffs come amid an effort to compete with rival Costco and online competition like Amazon, which has its own club-like service called Amazon Prime. Assistant managers will comprise nearly half the layoffs as the unit looks to slim down its managerial staff.
Sam's Club joins a a growing list of major retailers announcing job cuts this year. JC Penney said last week it will close 33 stores and cut 2,000 employees, and Macy's announced earlier in the month that it would layoff 2,500 workers. Target is also laying off 475 workers and has eliminated 700 vacant positions over the last six months.

The Devil's Throat (Spanish: La Garganta del Diablo) is an underwater cave formation near the island of Cozumel, Mexico, at Punta Sur in the Arrecifes de Cozumel National Park; it starts at approximately  of depth and opens up at approximately  - right at the edge of recreational dive limits.

Overview
The Devil's Throat is considered a "must dive" experience by scuba divers visiting Cozumel. Yet, due to the depth and the fact that it is a cave, it is considered an advanced dive and can be dangerous to inexperienced divers as decompression stops may be necessary if progress through the cave is slow. If divers keep moving and do not stop during the dive, decompression stops are not normally needed; standard ascent rates and safety stops are sufficient for a safe ascent.

The name "Devil's Throat" specifically refers to a narrow tunnel dropping through the red coral reef structure at around 45 degree, from about  to . However, the entire formation, part of the Punta Sur (Southern point) area, is also commonly referred to as The Devil's Throat.  The formation includes an underwater cave referred to as Catedral (the Cathedral), which was known for its unusual cross-shaped sponge formation in the ceiling of the cave, with a shaft of light from one of the tunnels backlighting the sponge cross. Hurricane Wilma inflicted damage on portions of the Cozumel reef system, and the sponge was lost to that storm.

Risks
Divers who exceed the no-decompression limits may require a decompression stop.

Other risks include nitrogen narcosis because most divers are using compressed air when diving at Cozumel and not trimix.

Diving the Devil's Throat requires use of an underwater light, and it is recommended that divers not scissor kick because it stirs up sediment which heavily obscures visibility. By some definitions, the dive may be considered a "cavern" rather than a "cave", because light can be seen from most points in the dive, though the openings are generally too small for a person to traverse.

According to recent reports, plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) made up 37 percent share of Norway's car market last month.
In September 2016, 28.8 per cent of new car sales were plug-in electric vehicles and all-electric cars had 19.0 per cent market share – ten times more than most other nations.
In December, the country hit 100,000 zero-emission EVs on the road.
Norway has introduced a series of incentives to encourage consumers to opt for electric, including a 25 per cent VAT tax exemption.
Bu said: "Norwegian politicians need to sit tight and continue the proven recipe for success. This means offering substantial benefits to zero emissions car buyers".
Last month, over 4,800 plug-in electric vehicles were sold in the country – aided by strong BMW i3 sales, PHEV vehicle sales like the Volvo XC90 and the Volkswagen Passat GTE at 622 units, 398 units and 411 units respectively.
At the same time, diesel market shares are declining – sitting at around 13 per cent.
Back in June 2016, Norway announced its plans to 'completely ban petrol powered cars by 2025'.
If the rate of the electric transition continues, the country could see EVs constituting the majority of car sales by the end of 2017 – keeping the nation on track to meet the 2025 target.
In Norway, 15 different all-electric models are available, and while this is still more than most other nations, it is not enough to cover all consumer needs.
However, a range of new all-electric vehicles capable of filling this gap are on the horizon, like the Chevy Bolt EV (Opel Amera E) and the Tesla Model 3, all of which are expected to come onto the market within the next year.

Borei Keila Developer Suy Sophan Dies at Age 62
Seng Thai and Ouch Sony
| Tue Mar 30, 2021 6:10 pm
A portrait of Suy Sophan at her funeral, in a photo posted to the Facebook page of Bun Rany, Prime Minister Hun Sen's wife.
Phanimex director Suy Sophan, known for her close links to some of the country's most powerful women and for controversies surrounding violent evictions at her company's inner-city Borei Keila development, died aged 62 on Monday morning, the Cambodian Red Cross said.
A letter posted online by Prime Minister Hun Sen's wife, Bun Rany, who is president of the Cambodian Red Cross, said Sophan died just before 8 a.m. Monday.
Sophan was a "beloved wife, mother and grandmother," the letter said, as well as "an active philanthropist who always donated money to support the activities of the Cambodian Red Cross."
According to Toul Kork district governor Ek Khun Doeun, Sophan's family is preparing for a religious ceremony at her children's home in Chbar Ampov district's Veal Sbov commune.
Hun Sinath, one of Hun Sen's sisters, expressed her condolences to Sophan's family in a Facebook post on Monday morning. According to Sinath, Sophan had battled liver cancer over several months.
Sophan's death sparked mixed reactions, including on Sinath's Facebook post and from some who were victims of forced evictions at Sophan's Borei Keila development in Phnom Penh.
Khieu Lai, a member of the evicted Borei Keila community, who now lives in Kandal province, said she could not forget the pain caused by Phanimex, which used heavy machinery to bulldoze people's homes on January 3, 2012.
"We will never forget our pain, no matter if she lost her life, will never forget," Lai said. "We suffer to this day."
Phork Lina, another former Borei Keila resident, said it was hard for him and the people of the Borei Keila community to forgive.
"I do not think it is possible," Lina said. "When it comes to forgiveness, we, Khmer people, only talk about this in terms of a family that made a small mistake in words. But if the act makes dozens of families — hundreds of families — suffer, it won't be possible to give forgiveness. If we give forgiveness, people won't fear sin."
On January 3, 2012, Sophan's Phanimex and Phnom Penh municipal authorities used bulldozers to raze the homes of hundreds of families in Borei Keila. Police used tear gas and live ammunition, resulting in injuries to at least 12 people, according to a statement from civil society groups at the time. Phanimex had promised to build 10 apartment buildings on the site for existing residents, but built only eight, leaving about 300 families in the lurch, the report says.
Human Rights Watch has previously noted the close ties between Sophan and Hun Sen's wife Rany.

Lake and Scoblic debate whether Ronald Reagan's courage and "moral clarity" brought about the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Scoblic explains how the war in Iraq--as well as the Bush administration's refusal to negotiate with Iran and North Korea--flow directly from the Reaganite view of the Cold War. He says Iraq was the "most invadable" of the Axis of Evil: an opportunity for conservatives to satisfy their moral demands.

A Test of Judicial Integrity
A drama is unfolding in Illinois courts that has profound implications for police accountability and governmental transparency. A central issue in this case is whether records related to police misconduct are quintessential public information.
Jamie Kalven, Contributor
Writer and human-rights activist
07/13/2012 04:05pm EDT | Updated September 12, 2012
A drama is unfolding in Illinois courts that has profound implications for police accountability and governmental transparency. At the center of this drama is Kilroy Watkins, a prisoner serving a 55-year sentence for first-degree murder and armed robbery. A skilled jailhouse lawyer, Watkins has presented the state appellate court with a case that tests not only the meaning of the Freedom of Information Act but also the integrity of the judicial process.
Chicago police officers arrested Watkins in 1992 in connection with an armed robbery. The next day he confessed to committing a murder in a separate incident. He has consistently claimed his confession was coerced by Detectives Kenneth Boudreau and John Halloran, associates of disgraced Commander Jon Burge. Under Illinois FOIA, he sought access to the police misconduct complaints against Boudreau and Halloran. Known as "complaint register" files or CR's, these documents contain the complaints filed against an officer and the substance of the City's investigation of those allegations.
Watkins' aim was to demonstrate a pattern of coerced confessions by the two detectives, in support of a post-conviction petition (since denied). In light of what we now know about police torture and coercion by officers under Burge's command, this is a plausible argument. A Tribune investigation in 2001 reported that Boudreau had, as of that time, helped secure confessions from more than a dozen defendants in murder cases in which the charges were later dropped or the defendant was acquitted.
Watkins represented himself in his FOIA suit until last year when the law firm of Loevy & Loevy took him on as a client. (I too am represented by the Loevy firm in a FOIA case against the Chicago Police Department.) When the circuit court ruled against him, Watkins appealed to the Illinois Court of Appeals for the First District.
A central issue in this case -- and in the long history of litigation over CR files -- is whether such documents are public information or private personnel matters. In recent years, a number of judges in both state and federal courts have ruled that records related to police misconduct are quintessential public information.
In the leading Illinois case, Gekas v. Williamson, decided in 2009, the Court of Appeals for the Fourth District ruled that police misconduct files are not personal information, the disclosure of which would violate the officer's privacy:
What [the defendant] does in his capacity as deputy sheriff is not his private business. Whether he used excessive force or otherwise committed misconduct during an investigation or arrest is not his private business.
Against this background, the First District ruled in Watkins' favor in a decision issued on December 27 of last year. Writing for the three-judge panel, Judge Mary K. Rochford (the daughter of former Chicago police superintendent James Rochford) relied squarely on Gekas and reaffirmed the principle that "a complaint against a [police officer] in the performance of his public duties 'shall not be considered an invasion of personal privacy,' even if contained within otherwise exempt personnel files."
A week later, the same First District panel, with Judge Rochford again writing the opinion, withdrew its earlier order and denied Watkins's motion on the ground that the court did not have jurisdiction because he had filed his appeal too early.
It would be generous to describe this decision as hyper-technical. It turns, in effect, on Watkins' inability to provide from behind the thick walls of his incarceration, despite his best efforts, written documentation of the trial court's oral announcement of its decision to dismiss his case several months before it issued a written opinion.
There is nothing on the face of the First District's December 27 opinion that would have prompted second thoughts about jurisdiction. Moreover, the jurisdictional issue was never raised by the city. In fact, the city acknowledged throughout the appellate court proceedings that there was jurisdiction because the trial court did, in fact, announce a decision before Watkins filed his notice of appeal.
Did the First District yield to political pressure? The question must be asked, though it cannot be definitively answered, for the city has consistently sought in every possible way to resist the emerging judicial consensus that CR's are public information.
In the legal equivalent of a Hail Mary pass, Watkins' lawyers petitioned the Illinois Supreme Court for leave to appeal. Happily, on May 30th the Supreme Court acted. While it did not grant the request to appeal, it exercised its supervisory authority to send the case back to the Court of Appeals for a decision on the merits.
The logical outcome now is for the First District to reinstate its fine December 27 decision. In so doing, it will both strengthen Illinois FOIA and restore confidence in its judicial independence.

Investiture Ceremony 2020
3rd February 2020
"Leadership is not a position or a title, it's action and example!" – Massimo Monotone.
The Investiture Ceremony of The Kalyani School was held with great pomp and dignity. After all, it was that bittersweet time of the year again, where the school lets go of its fine captains and welcome new ones with open arms. The Investiture ceremony is extremely important for our school as we believe it signifies the reliance and confidence that the school places in the newly invested office bearers. Donning the mantle of accountability, they also pledge to bestow their duties to the best of their abilities. We believe that this takes them one step closer to being responsible citizens of the country with the true potential and experience to lead.
The ceremony was held with lots of zeal and zest. It commenced with a prayer that signified the removal of darkness. The stage was then taken by Mrs. Nirmal Waddan, our Principal and Mrs. Deeksha Kalyani respectively as they shed some light on the importance of this event. Honouring last year's leaders and school council members, good job cards were given to them as a token of appreciation.
After that, it was finally time for the event every member was looking forward to announcing the new leaders of the school. Badges and Scrolls of Honour were given to the new School Council Members as well as the New House Captains. Our Principal then handed over the School Flag to the newly elected Head Boy. As the Head Girl took the oath aloud, there wasn't a single member of the audience who wasn't filled with pride! Finally, it was time for the new members, Head Boy, Head Girl, Sports Captain Boy and Sports Captain Girl, to deliver speeches about their journey and what they aim to do with this new found responsibility.
Abira Ma'am delivered the Vote of Thanks, which was followed by the School Song. The function concluded with the National Anthem.

Fired Up Movie Review
Now available on Blu-ray and DVD (Buy on Amazon)
A movie that received little fanfare when it was released earlier this year, Fired Up looked like
a cliché teen comedy in almost every way. A rip-off of Bring It On most people assumed. And yet, Fired Up is a surprisingly funny comedy that is a lot like Bring It On, except that it is told from the perspective of two horny guys who show up at cheerleader camp to get girls.
To be more precise, Fired Up is about two best friends called Shawn and Nick, played by Nicholas D'Agosto and Eric Christian Olsen respectively, who are the heartthrobs of their high school as well as star football players. But when their coach reminds them that they have to attend football camp in ridiculous hot weather, they decide to bail on their sport and join the cheerleading crew, with the single intent to hook up with hundreds of sexy cheerleaders who will all be trapped at their own respective camp. And hook up they do, until Shawn starts to fall for the head cheerleader (Sarah Roemer, who turned heads as the sexy neighbor in Disturbia) of their disastrous team.
While it eventually devolves into a typical romantic comedy with an underdog competition to boot, Fired Up is funny and entertaining. D'Agosto and Olsen are perfect together, playing off each other's comedic beats with surprising precision. The two, both of whom are around the age of 30 in real life, seem to have had a blast filming a picture where they play teenage horndogs surrounded by sexy girls. Their playfulness rubs off on others, as Roemer, John Michael Higgins and Molly Sims all embrace the goofiness of the film.
The movie's flaw is that it isn't that funny. Compared to some of the other comedies to come out in recent years like Knocked Up, Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and, most recently, The Hangover, Fired Up does feel like a teen comedy from the late 90's, where everything was polished and single-layered. The movie will make you chuckle, but won't have you giggling hysterically.
Still, Fired Up is a refreshingly simple and entertaining teen comedy with clever dialogue and strong performances from the two leads. It isn't a classic, but don't be fooled by its PG-13 rating; it pushes the limits, and at least in the DVD version I saw, veered into R-rated territory with some well-timed female nudity. If you thought Bring It On was too female-oriented, Fired Up is the cheerleader movie for the guys.

Review: Keats House, Hampstead, London
The Secret Victorianist at Keats House
John Keats didn't live at the house which was then known as Wentworth Place for long (only from 1818 until 1820), but the period was an important one for the poet. It was here, in Hampstead, that Keats wrote some of his most famous poems, including his 'Ode to a Nightingale' and 'La Belle Dame sans Merci', and fell in love with Fanny Brawne, whose family occupied the smaller 'half' of the then divided dwelling.
Today Keats House is a single property which has been restored with décor the man himself might have recognised and completed with period furnishings and artefacts from Keats's life.
The Chester Room
The house is beautiful, set among tranquil gardens on a serene side street in a leafy residential area, and at times it's hard to believe you're in London at all (which of course you wouldn't have been in the early 1800s!).
It is this feel of the place and the chance to see a well restored Regency property which is the attraction of visiting, rather than the items which are here from Keats's life. It's a lovely setting in which to read a little Keats or learn about his acquaintances, and, since your ticket remains valid for a year, I'd recommend visiting as something of an introduction to the poet, before returning a few weeks or months later, having got stuck into his poems in a little more detail.
Fanny Brawne's Room
The house was also later home to actress Eliza Jane Chester, so there are also prints and portraits in the room she added which might be of interest to lovers of nineteenth-century theatre. If you're in London with an afternoon to spare I'd heartily recommend visiting the museum.
Do you know of any other attractions from nineteenth-century London the Secret Victorianist should visit before she moves to the US? Let me know – here, on Facebook or by tweeting @SVictorianist.
Keats's Parlour
Adieu! adieu! thy plaintive anthem fades
Past the near meadows, over the still stream,
Up the hill-side; and now 'tis buried deep
In the next valley-glades:
Was it a vision, or a waking dream?
Fled is that music:—Do I wake or sleep?

How about Jane Austen's House Museum in Chawton? Or perhaps the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth? Both would be worthy of pilgrimages, I think! :)
I've reached the point in my literary journey through classical literature and poetry that it's practically impossible to read the first lines of "La Dame" and almost every one of his Odes without - as Emily St. Aubert, my love, perfected so well - weeping! Or, to be well-enough versed in Greek literature and lore in order to become a weeping mess on the floor simply from the opening lines of his "Hyperion": Deep in the shady sadness of a vale / Far sunken from the healthy breath of morn, / Far from the fiery noon, and eve's one star, / Sat gray-hair'd Saturn, quiet as a stone. < sniff >

Continuing Saga of New Orleans Public Housing – Feds Turn Up Heat On HUD Sec'y Alphonso Jackson
by Michael Steinberg on December 27, 2007 · 0 comments
A report today in the online publication Government Executive details mounting evidence from federal investigations linking HUD Secretary Alphonso Jackson to scandals in New Orleans-including the demoliton contract for the St. Bernard public housing complex.
New Orleans, December 26-Today's Government Executive (GE), a business daily for federal managers and executives, features a report , "Probe of HUD chief heats up," focusing on growing troubles for HUD Secretary Alphonso Jackson. In that report journalist Edward T. Pound writes, "Investigators from HUD Inspector General Kenneth Donahue's office, FBI agents, and Justice Department prosecutors are examining whether Jackson lied when he testified that he never intrervened in HUD contracting."
The article also reports, "Jackson now faces the biggest crisis of his career." Two of the three cases being investigated lead straight to the offices of HANO/HUD in New Orleans. And of those two, one concerns Jackson's possible involvement in the awarding of the demolition contract for the St. Bernard public housing project. In the latter case, Pound reports, the feds are going after Scott Keller, described as Jackson's "right arm," for his role in steering the St. Bernard demo contract towrds Colombia Residential, a company Jackson once worked for, and which still owes him hundreds of thousands of dollars. Because of that, "a HUD special agent served a search warrant at Keller's Alexandria, [VA] home last month," GE reports.
Government Executive also reports that in June 2006 Jackson put Keller in charge of HANO, which HUD took over in 2002. Among his tasks, GE reported, Keller "played a central role in dealing with issues that affected the business of Jackson's contracting friends in HANO." "Keller was smack in the middle of the HANO decision to award the $127 million redevelopment to the team that included Columbia Residential to restore [sic] the St. Bernard public housing projects," Pound reports. A four person panel made that decision last February. It turns out that "Keller not only helped choose the panel but also served as a member," GE reports.
In an October 4 story this year in Government Executive, Pound reported that a HUD spokesman said Jackson "was not part of the [panel] selection team and played no 'role in the selection of any team members.' " In that same article Pound wrote that Scott Keller told him "that because of the press of other HUD business he did not participate in, or influence, the selection of the Columbia Residential team." Keller left HUD in August after failing to get Senate approval for a Bush appointment to a higher HUD position. But Margaret Stone, a private financial advisor who attended the panel's discussions this past January and February, contradicted Keller's claims. In today's story Pound reported, "Stone said that Keller attended the first meeting of the selection panel in January and spoke by phone at the final meeting in February. Her account was confirmed by two others familiar with the discussions." And as to Keller's claim that he didn't influence the discussions, Stone told GE that "Keler promoted Columbia Residential's plans 'from the beginning…He certainly liked them a lot…He advocated strongly for the best solution to the project, which he thought was Columbia Residential.' "
As to the final decision, a third report by Pound in Government Executive on November 21 stated "Internal HANO records show that the Columbia Residential team barely won the evaluation, 68 points to 67." In that same report, Poind wrote that in September 2002, HANO brought in another company, Columbia Highlands, whose part owner Noel Khalil, is also an owner of Columbia Residential. Columbia Highlands "was paid $3.3 million through March of last year," by HUD/HANO, according to this report.
The November report also discussed the role of Lori Moon, who had worked for Alphonse Jackson when he ran the Dallas Housing Authority, and who "Jackson arranged …to serve" at HANO in 2002. Moon initially hired Colombia Highlands there. But "Moon said that Jackson and other HUD officials never told her about Jackson's financial ties to Khalil," the November story reported. "Had she known, she said, she would not have selected Colombia Housing for management work at HANO."
Pound concludes today's Government Executive report as follows:
If HANO has its way, it won't be long before St. Bernard meets the wrecking ball. Last month, the housing authority awarded a $9 million contract to Columbia Residential and the Bayou [District] foundation to arrange for the demolition of the project to make way for the development. In a last-ditch attempt to block the demolition, four of St. Bernard's displaced residents filed suit this week against HUD and HANO in U.S. district court in Washington. The suit cites Jackson's financial ties to Columbie Residential and says, 'Nothing in the record of the selection panel indicates that the members were aware of this potential confllict of interest or addressed it in their deliberations.

I took a sip and then another and found that I actually loved the taste and that it is not that much different to a white Bulgarian yogurt.
Since then I've searched on the internet and found that this is actually an incredible little mushroom with wonderful immune boosting and healing qualities. It has high nutritional content containing Vit A, D, E, Zinc, iron, selenium and molybdenum.
There is evidence that a Polish professor staying in India managed to cure his liver cancer by using these wonderful little white mushrooms also called 'Kefir'.
So, this is how it works. If you are lucky enough to get hold of them (or be gifted some like me) you put them in a glass jar, add whole milk to it, keep it open for breathing space (they need oxygen) but cover with a little net to keep unwanted extras out. (My jar lid has got holes in it.) Then put them in a nice warm place and (depending how warm) within 24-48 hours you will have a thick white substance that resembles a drinking yogurt. You then drain this off through a sieve (preferably plastic), rinse the mushrooms with a little bit of water and start the whole process again.
I have only started using it, but I will let you know in time which benefits I enjoy from it. For now, it is a nice replacement for breakfast and keeps me satisfied for quite a while.
Thank you my dearest friend to mentioned me in your blog. I'm so glad that you appreciate these incredible little miraculous mushrooms.Thank you for sharing your experiences!
In addition to what you said , this culture originated many thousands years ago in Tibet and was used by Tibetian monachs medicinally as well as in cosmetics. This is a very rare mushroom that looks like a mini cauliflower. Kefir was called "youth elixir", because people who were regularly drinking it always stayed in good shape and never got sick.
So enjoy, stay healthy and think about me every time you are drinking Kefir.

How to get Incontinence Items in Indiana
The Family to Family Health Information Center at Family Voices Indiana often gets requests from families about incontinence items (diapers, etc). There are two major routes to getting diapers for a child with special health care needs: Medicaid and non-Medicaid (private insurance, etc). Families who receive incontinence items via Medicaid recently received a letter indicating they need to choose a new vendor if they are currently using HDP, Healthcare Products Delivery, for their supplies. We have embedded that letter below. For families not currently receiving incontinence items, we have developed two fact sheets outlining how to access these supplies via Medicaid and non-Medicaid (private insurance, etc). We have included these fact sheets below and they will be available on our website for future reference. If you need help acquiring these items for your child, please contact us to be connected to a health information specialist. 317 944 8982 or info@fvindiana.org We hope you fi

Pre-Existing Conditions and how the Affordable Care Act Works for You
By Emily McKinley, Health Information Specialist With the commencement of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010, children were granted freedom from pre-existing conditions insofar as health insurance coverage is concerned. Under the law, adults (over 19 years) will enjoy the same coverage beginning in 2014. The ACA adopted the HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1995) definition of pre-existing condition, which defines the term "as a limitation or exclusion of benefits relating to a condition based on the fact that the condition was present before the date of enrollment for the coverage, whether or not any medical advice, diagnosis, care, or treatment was recommended or received before that date." Conditions previously not covered by insurance providers were wide-ranging and included conditions such as cancers, heart disease, asthma, and wide variety of special health care diagnoses. Previous to the adoption of the ACA, individuals with a pre-existing co

Chippendales: The Show Tickets Online
Rio, Las Vegas
Discount: $29
Price: from $39
It's no secret that ladies are ought to tell how the world is supposed to look like. Well, it's also true that the men of Chippendales are always out there to fulfill the darkest of your dreams and are not just the average guys you may see all around the place. All of the dancers, what's absolutely marvelous, have tan bodies, perfect smiles and abs that would leave you as wet as the surfer can possibly get.
Moreover, what makes the show really special is the outlook of the dancing guys – a bow ties, wrist cuffs, jeans, and jackets; a man could not dress better as people on the reviewing sites such as Best-Vegas ultimately indicate. Aside from making the female fantasies real, the men from Chippendales are well-trained for singing as well, which is a pretty good thing to know how to do if you ask anyone in the audience. Thus, there are also a few things that you should know of before attending the show:
The guys are not standard strippers
You wouldn't be able to order a private dance
Though, you could touch a guy or two
Flirting and dancing along is normal
What should be also noted about Chippendales is that the show is not always set in the fixed location in the city of Las Vegas. On the opposite, if there is a need, it's possible to order Chippendales for one's special occasion, bachelorette party, or even just for the night as claimed on the official website. Afterward, you could continue the night of male obsession in the Flirt Lounge which is located not that far from the main stage of the showroom.
Basically speaking, the performers invite everyone after the show to join them for having some fun, though it's not completely clear what it means. All in all, it's clear that you're going to surely get seventy-five minutes of pure joy coming from the nature of male bodies (though, it's possible you would have more time to communicate with Chippendales). Ladies, come to brace yourself for the experience that you would not see happening anywhere else in the context of the city of Las Vegas; among all of the adult shows, Chippendales: The Show is a pure option for having fun and exploring all of your hidden fantasies, without the slightest sign of the doubt.

Students at Annunciation School, 7580 Clinton St., Elma, are collecting nonperishable food items — which will be donated to the Food Bank of WNY — in an attempt to bring Channel 2 Meteorologist Andy Parker and his Weather Machine to the school. Residents and businesses in the community are encouraged to participate by dropping off food items at the school office during school hours, 8:15 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The school donating the most pounds of nonperishable food items by December 7 will be declared the winner. Because Annunciation is a small school, community involvement is extremely important.
