New Study Finds That Drinking Diet Soda May Be Good For Weight Loss – Las Vegas Doctors & Medical Center Clinic Patient's Choice Medical Center Means Affordable Health Care in Las Vegas.
In previous years there's been a constant buzz around whether or not drinking diet soda is good for losing those extra pounds. While one camp of dieters often claims that the low calorie beverages can't possibly hinder their loss, those who drink water over soda have stated that any soda, diet or otherwise will impede getting fit. Now, this argument can be put to rest as James O. Hill from the University of Colorado and his team of researchers has solved the mystery through a study that examined 303 participants.
64% of the group that was consuming diet soda regularly throughout the 12 weeks lost on average, 5% of their body weight, while the non-drinkers who lost about this much came to only roughly 43% of the group. This 21% difference between the groups was enough to prove without a doubt that diet soda during dieting can actually help people lose better than water does. The study has been published in the Obesity Society journal, which is called, Obesity.
Previously studies have found similar information, but the findings haven't made it quite as conclusive that diet beverages assist dieters as they have now. This means that all of those men and women who enjoy a diet-cola after work can do so guilt free and not worry so much about the prospects of it stalling their weight gain.
Of course, this doesn't mean that sneaking in other sweet items will have the same effect, as one of the reasons this works so well for weight loss has to do with the low calorie content, and liquidity of the substance. Some dieters prefer to turn to protein shakes for their sweet flavors, as this can pose as a meal replacement and allow such flavoring as orange, chocolate, peanut butter, strawberry, vanilla, and many others. Unlike diet soda, however, these shakes are usually taken as a post-workout supplement or as a way to remove a meal from the day without losing calories or nutrients. Low calorie soda beverages aren't used in place of a meal, simple as an addition to your daily eating and drinking, but it may curb your hunger in place of another sugary snack that would add pounds to the waistline.
The co-author of the 2014 Colorado University Anschutz study and chief strategy officer at the Health and Wellness Center there has said that there are other benefits to adding these kinds of beverages to your fitness regimen aside from simple weight loss evidence. With so many misconceptions flooding this market, and soda getting a bad rap in general, and for good reason in many cases, it may come as a shock to Americans to learn that there have also been results from trial members showing significantly lower risk of heart disease. This accompanies a low chance of developing type 2 diabetes, and a decreased risk of high blood pressure as well, which are side effects of curbing the bad fats, and losing weight.
While this study and previous ones have concluded that diet soda is not a hindrance during weight loss, but a helpful tool, it's also worth noting that you should only consume these beverages in moderation. Like all other things, too much of a good thing is a bad thing, and there are other health concerns linked with high consumption rates of any food or beverage.

"The little talent that Peter had, he used it to the limit; far more than an able bodied person would with all of their talent. Peter always used to say that disability is not inability.

Controversial zoning ordinance sent back to council
by INGRID SCHNADER
Photo taken from Heart of Homewood Master Plan.
Currently, downtown Homewood has 13 different zoning districts, and the downtown rezoning plan brings that number down to three: high-intensity, medium-intensity and low-intensity districts.
The Heart of Homewood Downtown Rezoning plan is going back to Homewood City Council.
Discussion about this controversial plan has been delayed for more than a year, when the Planning Commission voted at its Feb. 4, 2020, meeting to table the discussion. The item reappeared on the Planning Commission agenda at its May 4 meeting, and the commission voted 5-3 to send it back to council.
The council will refer the item to the Planning and Development Committee, said Committee Chair Jennifer Andress. While the item is in committees, the city will schedule multiple public forums, she said. There will also be a public hearing once the item is on the council agenda.
Currently, downtown Homewood has 13 different zoning districts, and the downtown rezoning plan brings that number down to three: high-intensity, medium-intensity and low-intensity districts. Homewood residents in opposition of the new zoning have expressed concerns about changes to building heights, lack of parking and the need for a traffic study.
More information about the plan is available at heartofhomewoodplan.com.
Also at the May 4 Planning Commission meeting, the lot lines were resurveyed at 185 and 195 Oxmoor Road, which will allow the owner to tear down the former Waffle House building and construct a new retail development on the other side of the property. There will be space for approximately 40 parking spaces, he said. When asked what building would be constructed there, the owner said it would be something that fits the district.

Ric Flair Reveals Money Becky Lynch Made
WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair has been involved in a trademark battle with WWE RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch over the usage of 'The Man' nickname. 'The Nature Boy' has confirmed that his trademark battle with WWE over Becky Lynch's 'The Man' nickname has finally ended. Ric Flair was also caught lying about Becky Lynch.
Ric Flair opens up on the trademark battle
Lynch became known as The Man in 2018, shortly after she began feuding with Ric's daughter Charlotte. The 16-time world champion threatened legal action against WWE over the company's use of the nickname, which he also used during his legendary career. Speaking on his Wooooo Nation Uncensored podcast, Flair said he only ever wanted his catchphrases and nicknames to be used by his family members:
"Ultimately, the people that did that to me need to look in the mirror and know that I worked my whole career for that to belong to my daughter or my son. They've gotta look at themselves in the mirror. They gotta say to themselves, 'Boy, he took something that he worked his whole life, his a** off for, every day, made a joke of it, and gave it away.'"
Lynch's The Man merchandise is still available to buy on WWE's online stores. While she still calls herself The Man on social media, the RAW Women's Champion has now been given the nickname, 'Big Time Becks' on WWE TV. Flair had speculated that the promotion had made over $30 million over the last three years based on its marketing of the said nickname:
"It is [trademark battle over], and in closing because I'm so tired of going over it, it's not even let's say hypothetically the number one selling t-shirt for two years, and a billion dollar company, so let's just say they made 30 million dollars, right? I could find out but it's not worth it."

There may not be a major design revamp for the Galaxy Note 9, but Samsung is said to be equipping the phablet with more internal storage than its predecessors.
Two different sources claim that the Galaxy Note 9 will come with 512GB internal storage. @Samsung_News_ added that the 512GB variant will be available in selected markets such as Korea and China. There is a chance that a few more markets will get the 512GB variant, but @Samsung_News_ did not elaborate further.
It is not surprising to see Samsung up the ante on the internal storage option for the Galaxy Note 9. After all, the South Korean company has been mass producing 512GB eUFS since December 2017. The Galaxy Note 9 is expected to be announced at an event in New York City on 9 August. Purported renders and video of the phablet have also surfaced on the Internet.


The Farmers' Legal Action Group, in conjunction with Farm Aid and the Rural Advancement Foundation-International (RAFI), created a handout with information of resources for farmers in the path of Hurricanes Irma and María, which apply to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The info on "Navigating Disaster Assistance for Farmers" in PDF below is available Spanish and English, listing the federal programs that help farmers and rural victims of hurricanes Irma and María.
The Farmers' Legal Action Group is a nonprofit law center dedicated to providing legal services and support to family farmers and their communities in order to help keep family farmers on the land based in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
Be sure to check with appropriate agency for any changes in details from those listed below.


We present a heterogeneous-firm model in which management ability increases both production efficiency and product quality. Combining six micro-datasets on management practices, production and trade in Chinese and American firms, we find broad support for the model's predictions. First, better managed firms are more likely to export, sell more products to more destination countries, and earn higher export revenues and profits. Second, better managed exporters have higher prices, higher quality, and lower quality-adjusted prices. Finally, they also use a wider range of inputs, higher quality and more expensive inputs, and imported inputs from more advanced countries. The structural estimates indicate that management is important for improving production efficiency and product quality in both countries, but it matters more in China than in the US, especially for product quality. Panel analysis for the US and a randomized control trial in India suggest that management exerts causal effects on product quality, production efficiency, and exports. Poor management practices may thus hinder trade and growth, especially in developing countries.

Haziq Fadhullah.
Many might know him as Karim from the hit comedy series "Kampung People 2". Haziq Fadhullah, a Kampung Tanjung Bundong lad who had always set his sights to become an actor, details the ups and downs of his journey in pursuing his dream.
Blessed with a second chance
It took almost two years before Sarawak-born actor Haziq Fadhullah finally got a big break, and carved his name in the Malaysian entertainment scene.
The 27-year-old actor shot to fame after starring as the main antagonist named Karim in the latest season of the hit local comedy series 'Kampung People 2', broadcasted through the Lestary slot on TV3 recently.
Rehearsing with the co-stars before shooting one of the scenes in Kampung People 2.
Haziq (centre) played antagonist character named Karim in comedy series Kampung People 2.
He admitted that the series, directed by Wan Hasliza Wan Zainudin, helped established his name in the industry as he became the crowd-favourite among Malay drama fans across the nation.
"For a newcomer like me who is still looking for a place in the industry, audience acceptance is very important.
"My role in the series had opened their eyes that an ordinary boy from Sarawak has something to offer. Which is my talent," he said in an exclusive interview with New Sarawak Tribune at The Hills.
From Tanjung Bundong to Universiti Malaya
Haziq, who grew up in Kampung Tanjung Bundong, Kota Samarahan, said he had always dreamed of becoming an actor ever since he was young.
"I always knew that I wanted to be an actor. I remembered that I would dress myself up like a singer whenever I watched entertainment programmes on television and imitate the actions — Akademi Fantasia, and even Bintang Kecil on RTM.
"In school, I was very active and always participated in various performances and competitions. From nasyid to drama and traditional dance competitions, you name it!
"In fact, I would often volunteer to join any performances and activities that was organised by the school," he added.
Haziq graduated in 2016 as a degree holder in Performing Arts & Theatre course from Universiti Malaya (UM).
As he was raised in a conservative Muslim family, Haziq describes his childhood as very idyllic.
"Interestingly, my father who is a Tabligh (a member of Muslim missionary group who preaches to fellow Muslims to adhere and observe Islamic practice) was rather flexible compared to my mother who was not very supportive when I told them about my wish to become an actor.
"At first, she was not in favour of my choice to take up acting as a career. But Alhamdulillah, now both of them give their blessings. In fact, they are indeed my biggest fan right now!" Haziq gleefully said.
Although it took sometime for his family to accept the decision, what came as a surprise was that he was given a chance to delve into acting as he was accepted for the Performing Arts & Theatre degree programme at the internationally-renowned Universiti Malaya (UM).
"Since then, I never looked back. I worked hard to get the scroll and I finally graduated in 2016," he said.
Haziq's family.
Life behind the screen
To people, living life as an artist may appear fun — where fame and glamour would bring luxury and wealth.
However, this is only applicable to someone who had the privilege to do so, he explained.
For people like Haziq — who admitted that he came from a very simple and moderate family — he had to work hard to establish his name as an actor. In two years, he constantly worked his way around to get to know the people in the industry and establish his networks.
"Ever since the first day I came to Kuala Lumpur to further my studies, I was all by myself. That was my first time arriving in the city and my first experience boarding a flight!" he said.
To earn some money, he worked as a waiter and even took up a part time job as a makeup artist, "After I graduated, I did all sorts of odd jobs back then, from carrying props, working as an assistant crew member, to being a driver, escorting the cast and crew."
Sharing on the most terrifying experience he had gone through while working, Haziq said he nearly lost his sight in 2019.
When asked about the incident, he said that it happened during a fight with another person whom he refused to disclose.
The most terrifying experience he had gone through, when he was nearly lost his sight for three months in 2019.
"My left eye was nearly blind, struck by a mobile phone which was thrown at my face," he said.
He also admitted that his workload left him to suffer insufficient rest and sleepless nights.
To make matters worse, the incident was a major breaking point, as he was diagnosed with depression.
Dealing with the harrowing experience, Haziq revealed that it was a tough time and it badly affected him.
With the current spike of new Covid19 cases in the country, Haziq feels that it that it is important for everyone in the community to reach out.
"At times like this, I feel that we should help those who are affected by the pandemic by giving them support. I know some of us are depressed over losing our source of income, jobs, etc.
"Perhaps, instead of judging, the best we can do is to be a good listener and encourage them to seek treatment from health and medical practitioners," he stressed.
Haziq managed to overcome his depression, and now seems happier, appreciative and more content with himself and accepted the phase as a part of his journey in life.
Haziq admitted that it never crossed his mind that going through the challenges and hurdles actually paved the way for his career, when opportunity came knocking at his door.
Korban Kasih, a drama series directed by Pali Yahya which was broadcasted during Ramadhan this year on RTM's TV1 was Haziq's first debut on TV screen.
"I am grateful to get my sight back. Allah is giving me another opportunity, a second chance I may say, to live my life and appreciate myself as His creation.
"And I always believed that these are all possible because of my parents. Without their prayers and blessings, I don't think I will make it this far," the third child of five siblings said.
He also described working with industry's powehouses like Saharul Ridzwan, Datuk Ahmad Tarmimi Siregar and Dynas Mokhtar in "Korban Kasih", as well as with Rashidi Ishak, Elly Mazlein, Namron and Datuk Fizz Fairuz in "Kampung People 2" is a dream come true.
With the co-stars (from left: Zara Zya, Azrel Ismail, Dynas Mokhta) shooting for Korban Kasih drama series.
Korban Kasih casts.. Haziq's first debut on TV screen.
"Both series garnered overwhelming feedback. In fact, the series became trending in social media throughout their runs," he said, adding that he began to receive more job offers after "Kampung People 2".
Touching on the recent development of the first state-owned TV station, TV Sarawak, Haziq believes that the platform plays a crucial role in promoting the local creative scene to the world.
"As a Sarawak-born artiste, TV Sarawak is definitely a wonderful gift for the people, providing a new platform and more room for the local creative industry to brandish their talents.
"Hopefully, more locals can make use of this opportunity and be given the chance to showcase their ability to the world," Haziq said.

I really need to get a flask like this for my cruise and the beach. I mean, this will come in so HANDY!
I tried this trick to clean our shower head this past weekend and OMG it worked like a charm!
I've listened to this non-stop for a couple of days. For some reason, after reading through the Driven Trilogy by K. Bromberg AGAIN, I just really need to be reminded that people are only human. Weird, I know.
Love Unrehearsed by Tina Reber was a great follow up to Love Unscripted and you know it's not always easy for a sequel to be just as good! I think there's a third one in the works but not many details yet. I will say I've been doing a lot of used book perusing on Amazon and so far *crosses fingers* they've come to me in great shape!
After perusing Facebook for the umpteenth time, I came across this article about dating a reader and I loved it!
Linking up for Oh Hey, Friday with these fabulous ladies - September FARM and The Farmer's Wife.
Oh gosh I may need to pin that how to clean your shower head thing because thats always a pain!
I was just talking to a coworker about that song. We listen to the radio at work but I love every time that song comes on. That sunscreen looks awesome! I must try it. Happy Friday!
that's a flask?!!?!?! i need it. off to read that dating a reader article. when my husband and i broke up a couple years ago all i could think of was 'but he likes to read wahhhhh' haha.
I'm stopping by from the link up! Have a great weekend!
that shower head cleaning trick REALLY does work!! did that the other weekend and it was amazing.
Heather, I love that flask! I posted about that recently! It is HILARIOUS! I also love Christina Perri! She has the most beautiful voice ever! Have a fabulous weekend!
I hear that Human song on Vampire Diaries awhile back and have it on constant replay every since. Love it!
I have been wanting to try that with my shower head...maybe you inspired me!
I need to try that shower head trick!
Hahaha that flask is awesome!!!
That's how I clean my shower!
Tell me more about the sunblock - what do you like about it?
I LOVE that Christina Perri song!


Private wealth management is much more than just a broker spending someone's money. People who have real wealth to maintain should have someone in their corner who does everything that is needed to make that money profitable and powerful. The list of suggestions below is very helpful, and it will provide the customer with an idea of what might be done when they are trying to save money, earn money for the future, and plan for retirement.
Basic investments are handled as a part of private wealth management services. These services make it possible for the customer to save Their money over long periods of time. The asset manager is the person who makes all the purchases, and they will let the customer know if they have found sound investments that are worthy of their money. It is very simple for stocks to be bought and sold with help from an asset manager, and they will look over the portfolio to see how these stocks are performing.
The real estate management side of private wealth management allows people to manage their homes, rent properties, and manage large complexes they have invested in. Someone who wants to invest in an apartment complex could have all that money funneled back to their asset manager. The asset manager will keep track of these profits, and they will let the customer know when their properties could be maximized in new ways. A vacation home could be rented for most of the year when the client is not there, and the properties that are on the portfolio could be sold for profit at any time.
Retirement management is handled by the asset manager because they are planning the amount of money that is needed for the client to retire. The asset manager can ask the client when they want to retire, and the manager will let the client know what their best option is when they are trying to retire early. The asset manager can help find money to start a new company, and the asset manager can show the client how they can afford to travel when they are retired.
Retirement management is also important because it could start at any time. The retirement plan is one that could be made and changed as many times as someone likes. The asset manager will show their client how they can retire right now, how they can buy a new house, or how they can move in their retirement.
There are many kids who are given trusts, and they might be provided with a special account that they can access when they turn a certain age. The trust account is useful because it helps the client manage money that will be given away in the future. The client could ask their asset manager how they might set up their trust.
The trust management also includes the will, and the asset manager could take charge of that will. This makes it very easy for someone to manage their money because they have a partner who will take care of everything for them.
The assert manager that serves clients can do all the things that are listed above. These managers are experts in their field, and they are there to help make these accounts more profitable. Wealth management should not be done with static money. The asset manager is trying to produce profits from these funds. The manager can show the client how to manage their properties, how to invest their money, and even how to set up a trust.

Ram raiders smash hole in Suffolk forecourt shop
Ram raiders punched a large hole into the side of a forecourt shop in Suffolk during the early hours of the morning on October 4.
Police are appealing for information following the incident at the Jet-branded Potters filling station in Station Road, Framlingham, which was closed at the time.
Officers were called just before 12:30am to reports of an alarm sounding at the petrol station and a car driving off at high speed.
At the scene they found a black Mercedes car had been reversed at speed into a side wall of the station shop, causing a large hole. The ram raiders had entered through the hole and stolen cigarettes and tobacco before making off in another vehicle.
The ram raid is being linked to a burglary at a property in Burstall on the evening of Thursday 3 October where a black Mercedes and a black Audi were stolen from the driveway.
The black Audi was reported alight in Copdock by the fire service at around 1:15am.
Anyone who has any information in relation to either incident or who may have seen the vehicles at any time during the evening is asked to contact Leiston CID on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Mothers: "Important Tasks Await Your Babies"
This Sunday we honor mothers.
Perhaps the greatest radio voice of all time once said, "Mothers, important tasks await your babies."
He also said, "So you're going to have a baby. A pair never beat a full house they say."
"Into such a world you are about to bring a baby. Next month, maybe. You are not human if you have not wondered through each long night if it is right," he said.
A Republican candidate for the Senate says her mother, who conceived her in rape, decided against abortion because important tasks await.
Be informed, and inspired.
A mother makes the right choice.
Just two weeks before the Pennsylvania primary election, GOP Senate candidate Kathy Barnette says she is alive today because her mother, who was only a pre-teen when she was raped, decided not to end the life in her womb.
"I am the byproduct of a rape," the veteran revealed during the Republican primary debate on Wednesday. "My mother was 11 years old when I was conceived, and my father was 21. I was not just a 'lump of cells.' As you can see, I'm still not just a 'lump of cells.' My life has value."
Barnet said that regardless of whether the premature release of the Supreme Court's draft decision was a leak or a "tactical operation" she is pro-life because she believes life in the womb is just as important as life outside it.
"My life is valuable, and so are the many lives that find themselves in the womb of their mother, whether in the womb or towards the end of that life," she told the audience.
She is running for the Senate against the well-known Dr. Oz, whom she believes is not truly pro-life based on a number of his public statements prior to his running for public office.
"Mothers, important tasks await your babies."
On May 25, 1993, the Centralia, Washington "Chronicle" published a commentary by Paul Harvey titled, "Mothers, important tasks await your babies."
I don't have the needed permission to publish it in this column, however, I can quote from it, and I can link the entire article here.
And I can share it on the radio today on our daily radio program. Here's how you can join me from anywhere in the world.
Harvey was undoubtedly one of the greatest voices ever on radio. He was also a committed Christian according to those who knew him.
In his commentary, he says mothers have worried about bringing a child into their world "since a long time before you switched to low heels. You'll have to endure the mornings and the waiting and the dieting, and the waiting and the wondering and the waiting...alone."
He goes through a list of well-known people who had to be born because important tasks awaited them.
In conclusion, he says of birthing a baby, "For each woman, there is a personal Garden of Gethsemane. She goes there for strength. I have not tried to tell you it is easy. Only that it is important."
And he says this:
"Since long before Mary, mothers have been anxious for their offspring. But have borne them in stables and hidden them in bulrushes. Have borne them unattended in the bouncing bed of a Conestoga wagon racing to outdistance savages, in unheated frontier cabins, or, just as alone, midst the antiseptic whiteness of great hospitals."
"Because it is important that they do. It has ever been so."
Have a happy Mother's Day this Sunday.
Mothers, we love you.
Be Blessed.

Former Delhi Commissioner writes Khaki Files, anthology of inside investigations
Posted on November 26, 2019 by Bhavani Prabhakar
Chennai: Encountering terrorists or cracking down a major bomb blast case is a common affair in any senior cop's life. Neeraj Kumar, former Commissioner of Police, is one among the prestigious lot who had handled high-profile assignments, including the crackdown of diabolical plot by ISI in Mumbai. In his second book, Khaki Files, published by Penguin Random House, the cop-turned-author narrates nine inside stories of investigations, that was conducted during the nine years he spent in the central investigative agency.
His first book, Dial D for Don detailed the stories of his CBI missions. Neeraj speaks to News Today about his new release, his encounters and more.
Being a firebrand officer, Neeraj was initiated into writing by the popular author and former investigative journalist, S Hussain Zaidi. "It was never planned to be that way. I got an offer from Penguin to write my memoirs in 2014. However, the idea of writing my memoirs neither appealed to me nor excite me. Instead, I agreed to write true crime stories of police investigations held under my charge. I have never regretted my decision," the former top cop recalls.
Heading the anti-corruption and security unit of BCCI made him difficult to continue writing and unexpected turn of events led Neeraj quit his job.
Khaki Files written by Neeraj Kumar
It took a year for him to pen the anthology that explores a range of case. To name one, the second chapter – The Da Lakhvi Code – reveals the well-kept secret as to why a visitor cannot approach the base of India Gate. The reason is obvious – terror attacks. However, what makes the chapter a page-turner is the narration. The story unfolds how the Special Cell of Delhi Police worked their way out of the puzzle maze that was cracked out of the blue.
However, the book did not happen easily. "Since I had not kept notes, getting details like dates and names was bit of a challenge. Members of various teams, who had worked with me from time-to-time during the investigation of the cases described in the book, and who are still in service, helped me in getting the details," Neeraj tells.
Asked about a case that moved him despite being solving high-profile cases, he replies, "I guess it was seeing the plight of the Memon family that included three ladies and three children was very touching. They were victims of the misdeeds of Tiger Memon, a senior member of the family. Quite ironically, they landed in CBI custody on account of a trans-national police operation that I conducted."
IN CELLULOID
Interestingly, Delhi Crime season two web series, which is under production, is based on Moon-gazer, a chapter in Khaki Files. The movie rights of Neeraj Kumar's first book, Dial D for Don has been bought by producer-director Neeraj Pandey.

Hawai'i State AFL-CIO, Union Yes!
Without a union contract, the law considers workers to be "at will" employees who may be fired, reassigned, demoted for any reason or no reason at all.
When the first generation of Americans framed the basic principles of the United States Constitution, they took great pains to restrict the government from exercising too much power over the common citizen. Unfortunately, the agricultural nature of the early American economy then did not suggest to them the need for limiting the exploitation of employees in an industrial economy.
Unions evolved in this country in much the same way and for most of the same reasons that the original thirteen colonies formed a "more perfect union" over two hundred years ago... to establish the rights of the common citizen and to protect and defend these rights at home and in the workplace. Organized labor has struggled throughout the past century in the courts and on picket lines to assert the principle that the basic human right to fair treatment, due process, privacy and a democratic voice in decision-making which when guaranteed by our Constitution makes for good government should be guaranteed in the workplace as well.
"Statutory" rights (those set by law) are supposed to be guaranteed to all workers whether they are in unions or not. But the reality is that unless a non-union worker can afford an attorney, the ultimate power of the employer to fire, demote or unilaterally reduce employees' pay or other benefits forces acceptance of things they way the boss wants them.
Though laws were enacted to ensure basic rights to all workers, the non-union worker who stands alone, is far less likely to assert these rights for fear of reprisal and retaliation. After all, the non-union worker is by law just an "AT WILL" employee who may be fired at any time and for no reason at all.
Indeed, surveys have regularly shown that people organize and join unions, not so much for higher wages as to protect themselves from being victimized by the arbitrary and capricious or discriminatory conduct of their employers.
The truth is unions are not organized by outside agitators but by the arrogance of management. They love to say that, "The workplace is not a democracy," but in fact, it is and must be. All the best workplaces and most successful managers know that "joint decision making", "employee participation" and "respect for their employees" are the true secrets to business success.
Union contracts establish the only meaningful rights employees can expect to truly enjoy.
Just compensation in the form of a living wage uneroded by inflation.
Health care and retirement plans to provide for workers and their families when they are disabled and when their working careers are over.
Equity and fairness in employment decisions relating to promotion and assignment; respect for the principles of seniority and merit, where merit can be measured objectively; and the opportunity to be trained and fairly considered for promotion. Also the right to appeal through the grievance procedure employment decisions which are either discriminatory or arbitrary.
The right to be treated with dignity at work and the right to be free from coercion, intimidation or harassment.
The right to privacy in one's personal life, possessions and effects, and the right, therefore, to be protected from the search and seizure of personal property at work.
The right to file a "grievance" in order to resolve complaints that the employer has violated or misinterpreted the contract.
Form a union where you work.
People who join unions find soon enough that they are no longer just interested in "what's in it for me" but in the overall improvement of themselves, their coworkers, their families and the societies in which they live. Solidarity improves standards of living as certainly as greed and selfishness pervert and pollute all our other values.
What goes in a contract, anyway?"

The trail will take approximately 1 hour, but don't forget to take some time to explore the many charming places along the way including Cogglesford Watermill and Navigation House.
Cogglesford Watermill is thought to be the only Sherriff's watermill still in operation in England and is a rare survivor from a river that once boasted some 18 watermills at the time of the Doomsday Book. It belongs to a group of mills considered to be most valuable from Lincolnshire, and amongst the most important in the country.
The mill has been producing flour since the early 18th century and the mill has been beautifully preserved by North Kesteven District Council, giving a real insight into milling in days gone by.
Visitors can see the mill in operation during special milling days which take place on the second Sunday of the month. The millers will be busy on Sunday 9 April as the huge water wheel rumbles into action turning the millstones to grind the grain producing their own wholemeal and unbleached white flour.
Whilst you're there you can learn about the history of the mill and its millers, try your hand at grinding grain and explore the mill. Why not take home a reminder of your day with a bag of Cogglesford Watermill's very own flour, on sale in the shop.

Visitors are encouraged to consider commissioning new work from local makers and a range of more affordable work will be available to buy, whether your budget is a few pounds or a thousand pounds.

In 2003, David Sauveur travelled to the former Yugoslavia where a conflict of the kind Europe had not seen for half a century had broken out ten years earlier. Yugoslavia, which had been united for a few decades under Tito, splintered, torn apart by nationalism. What has happened to those places whose names we used to hear so often in the news: Vukokar, Mostar, Gorazde, Srebrenica, etc.?
And is it really all over? Looking beyond the usual post- war problems, there is still a border, which is more or less visible and which people do not cross. Fear still lives on here, the weight of memory and the disappeared, the desire for revenge, or the unslaked thirst for conquest. It is still the future of Europe and that of the international community, shaken by the events of these last few years, which is at stake in the Balkans. Can the war be contained?
David Sauveur worked with a Polaroid, using an "amateur" tool to produce these images in reportage form. This search has led to an unusual series of small sensitive squares where time appears to have stood still, where the work of colour produces a subtle feeling of distancing, verging on withdrawal, from the fragility of the world.
The exhibition consists of 31 colour Polaroid prints, format: 33 x 33 cm.

Do you have bananas on your counter that need to be used up? Banana bundt cake is a delicious way to put them to good use!
It is officially fall, which means I have been in the baking mood. I bake some during the summer months, but there is something about fall and cooler weather, that always puts in the mood for comfort foods.
This cake is a result of one of those days. I had a few overripe bananas on the counter and after a few crazy days, I was ready to spend some time in the kitchen baking. Yes, baking is one of the ways I unwind and relax after a busy week.
I am always trying to come up with new ways to use bananas. The flourless banana brownies I shared recently and my banana waffles are an examples of that. We also love banana bread and banana muffins, but I like finding new ways to use them as well.
This cake is an example of that. I decided to change up a basic banana bread recipe and turn it into a cake. It turned out delicious. We now have another way to use up bananas!
The cream cheese in this is what makes it a little different, but so good. My kids thought a few chocolate chips would be good in this and I agree, they would be, but it is also really good without them. Either way you make this I think you will enjoy it!
In a bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl beat together cream cheese, butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined.
Add bananas and eggs. Mix well.
Gradually add flour mixture and mix just until combined.
Let cool in pan for 5 – 10 minutes.
Can you taste the cream cheese or does it just add moisture? Thanks.
It makes it moist. I don't think it is as strong cream cheese flavor, I didn't really notice it, but I like cream cheese.

It was intriguing to see the progression in the essay from the authors feeling of disconnect with her heritage to a sense of pride in her family that refrains from carrying on cultural activities. Bitter critiques are shown in her books about American health care such as - The American Health Empire - Complaints and Disorders - For Her Own Good. The reason they say the world would be a better place is because people would be more interesting from branching out and learning new things. In addition, the values that the author mentioned are not enough to build a humans world with guidelines, do's and don'ts.

Bulgaria increases patrols at borders as migrants try to reach North Macedonia from Greece
Written by The Sofia Globe staff on April 5, 2019 in Bulgaria - Comments Off on Bulgaria increases patrols at borders as migrants try to reach North Macedonia from Greece
Bulgaria has strengthened its border patrols and is ready to implement a crisis management plan, Interior Minister Mladen Marinov told the National Assembly on April 5, amid a developing situation in which about 1000 migrants were trying to reach Greece's border with North Macedonia.
Migrants, mainly from the Middle East, left the Diavata camp near Thessaloniki, trying to cross into the Republic of North Macedonia, after rumours were spread on social media that they would be able to pass through a border crossing. The movement of migrants has led to clashes with Greek police.
There are more than 70 000 migrants in Greece, who have been there since 2016, a result of the EU-Turkey agreement on stemming migrant flows.
Marinov told Parliament that the migratory pressure from Greece was increasing significantly.
Presenting figures for 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, Marinov said that the numbers were up by six times compared with 2017. Most of those seeking to cross were citizens of Afghanistan, about 41 per cent, and of Iraq, 30 per cent.
"We have sent extra equipment there, including thermal imaging cameras, night vision devices, video surveillance, mobile patrols, so that we can quickly intercept the attempts and quickly communicate with the Greek authorities to stop the attempts to pass illegally on to our territory," he said.
Bulgaria's Interior Ministry was considering putting up video surveillance at the entrances to villages and towns along the border with some of the funds allocated by the European Union for emergency measures to deal with illegal migration.
Marinov said the information his ministry had was that the migrants from Diavata would try to go to North Macedonia "but we have also taken measures at our borders.
Bulgaria was in constant contact with all its neighbouring countries. "We are following the situation. We have information about the preparation of such processes for a longer time," he said.
Marinov told Parliament that in recent years there had been a decrease in migration pressure at the Turkish-Bulgarian border, which was the result of intensified border control, good co-ordination among the instituions and the EU-Turkey agreement.

«Магус» () — детективне фентезі з елементами альтернативної історії українського письменника Володимира Аренєва, написаний 2004 року російською мовою, але вперше надрукований 2006 року.

Сюжет
У світі, дуже схожому на Італію епохи Відродження, так само люблять і ненавидять, плетуть придворні інтриги й відправляють на той світ заклятих ворогів. Тут люди живуть пліч-о-пліч з представниками «маленького народця», а чарівники-законники суворо стежать за порядком. Одному з них, законнику на ім'я Магус Оберто, запропонували розслідувати начебто просту справу про зникнення родинних коштовностей у маєтку Циникуллі. Але під час розслідування почав розмотуватися клубок інтриг та зрад. І мало кому вдасться дійти до кінця оповіді незмінним, пропустивши через себе пружину світу, яка стрімко змінюється.

GT Advanced Confirms Parting with Apple – Owes Apple $439 million
Posted by Doug Dobbins at 11:43 am on October 23, 2014
GT Advanced has confirmed its split with Apple via a press release, offering further details on the terms. "GT will be released from all exclusivity obligations under its various agreements with Apple," the statement explains. "GT will retain ownership of all production, ancillary and inventory assets located in Mesa [Arizona] and Apple is provided with a mechanism for recovering its $439 million pre-payment made to GT over a period of up to four years without interest, solely from a portion of the proceeds from ASF sales.
"The agreement provides for a mutual release of any and all claims by both parties. As a result of the agreed upon terms, GT retains control of its intellectual property and will be able to sell its sapphire growth and fabrication technology, including ASF and Hyperion, without restrictions."
The company is leaving the sapphire production business entirely, and will be repaying Apple by selling off its furnaces over a four-year period. A "technical exchange" with Apple will continue to help GT develop future production processes, but only for the sake of making production equipment for other firms.
Although GT is retaining the factory assets in Mesa, the agreement doesn't appear to offer any solace for the 727 workers who will lose their jobs at the plant. When GT first announced its bankruptcy, Apple said it would work to preserve those jobs.


On July 18th Governor Cuomo announced the state Department of Labor has issued guidelines for public employers in the wake of the recent Janus decision issued by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The guidelines clarify that New York law does not require current union members to take any further action or sign new union cards in order to maintain their union membership and benefit rights. It also clarifies that unions are not required to provide any documentation on behalf of those members in order to maintain the services they provide.
The guidelines are necessary as some outside groups created and funded by right-wing ideologues along with some legal entities with alternative political agendas, have tried to create confusion among public employers by advocating for changes in the recognition of union membership and the way union members in the public sector pay their dues.
As we have said all along, the Janus decision is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to silence the voice of working men and women and their unions. It will not work.

Movie Review ~ The Life of Pi
by Joe Movie Review	• Tags: 20th Century Fox, Adil Hussain, Ang Lee, Gerard Depardieu, Irffan Khan, Life of Pi, Rafe Spall, Suraj Sharma, Yann Martel
Synopsis: A young man who survives a disaster at sea is hurtled into an epic journey of adventure and discovery. While cast away, he forms an unexpected connection with another survivor … a fearsome Bengal tiger.
Stars: Suraj Sharma, Irffan Khan, Gerard Depardieu, Adil Hussain, Rafe Spall
Director: Ang Lee
Rated: PG
Trailer Review: Here
TMMM Score: (8.5/10)
Review: When I first heard about the film I couldn't get my head around how a movie would be fashioned around the scenario of a boy and a tiger stranded on the same lifeboat. Could a movie that has large passages of time without dialogue and that is heavily dependent on visual effects really be a satisfying experience at the end of the day? The answer, I was to learn, was an unqualified "yes".
It's been a few weeks now since I saw The Life of Pi yet it's a film that has lingered long in my mind even after the credits ended. What we have here is surely one of the most visually stunning films released in the last several years yet one that could have easily segued into monotony with its heavy, tricky plot devices. Instead, director Lee has held the reins comfortably slack enough to allow the story to spring forth off the screen to create a dazzling display of technology, stirring imagery, and an overall moving experience.
In adapting the popular but divisive book by Yann Martel, Oscar-nominated screenwriter David Magee has done right by the characters Martel put to page and expounded on the impact the life-threatening situation that faces young Pi Patel as he and his family travel from India to the US. After a frightening to watch sea disaster (think Titanic meets Flight), Pi is left to fend for himself as he battles the elements and a Bengal tiger that he shares his small lifeboat with.
Over hundreds of days, we see an understanding develop between headstrong Pi and the tiger known as Richard Parker. Through truly astonishing CGI work, the large cat is created from the ground up with very few shots actually containing a flesh and blood beast. The tiger effect is outstanding and rarely gives off the vibe of computer assistance, don't be surprised if you forget that newcomer Sharma was acting opposite thin air.
Really a memory piece, the story is told from the perspective of the adult Pi (Khan in a deeply felt performance) as he relates his amazing adventure to a journalist (Spall from Prometheus – interesting to note that Spall took over the role from Tobey Maguire who was cast, filmed his scenes, but was replaced by Lee so to not distract from the action in the past). This set-up gives you information on the outcome of the story so some of the suspense is lost…until the ending that could be as troublesome for viewers as it was for the readers.
Without giving any sort of spoilers away, the final ten/fifteen minutes of the film may change your opinion of the movie up until that point. I, for one, found myself coming down off my high I had for the previous two hours and feeling a bit despondent on the direction I thought things were going. Rest assured that the movie counters nicely and lets you make up your own mind about certain ideas and possibilities these late in the game questions raise.
If you're one of the weary people that refuses to shell out the extra dough to see a movie in 3D, pay attention to what I'm going to say: this is the one movie you'll be glad you paid extra for. Like Avatar and Hugo, the 3D technology is not used to throw stuff out at the audience but to give a greater depth to the scenery, drawing you further into the story. It's one of the most immersive uses of 3D ever in film from the hypnotic sights of India to the gorgeous and lonely nighttime vistas Pi sees during his time at sea.
One of the more interesting and non-genre specific directors working today, Lee has created another film that looks deep within itself to present an inner truth that speaks to all of us. The movie is about faith – faith in a higher power, faith in one's self, faith that destiny and survival are what you make of it. I was greatly moved by the relationship between Pi and Richard Parker and appropriately rallied for them along the way. Do yourself a favor and make this the next film you see in theaters, it's not to be missed and not to be forgotten.
The Silver Bullet ~ Warm Bodies
by Joe Silver Bullet - Trailer Park	• Tags: 2013, Analeigh Tipton, Cory Hardrict, Dave Franco, John Malkovich, Jonathan Levine, Nicholas Hoult, Rob Corddry, Summit Entertainment, Teresa Palmer, Trailer, Warm Bodies
Synopsis: After a zombie becomes involved with the girlfriend of one of his victims, their romance sets in motion a sequence of events that might transform the entire lifeless world.
Thoughts: The resurgence of the zombie craze has inspired some interesting projects. The gigantic popularity of TV's The Walking Dead has given cable television another hit and 2013's World War Z is hoping for summer blockbuster status. Throwing the genre a bit on its ear, Warm Bodies looks like any other troubled teen romance…until you consider that one of the teens is a member of the undead. What's interesting about this film is the appearance that everyone is in on the joke-y nature of the premise…which could spell a lot of fun for audiences. An appealing cast and promising director (Jonathan Levine did great work with 2011's 50/50) are added bonuses.
