Last modified on Jun 06, 2016 10:59 BST Gemma Strong A look back at some of the stars we have lost so far this year
The year 2016 is one many would like to forget. In the last 12 months, the world has lost some of its brightest lights, from musical icons David Bowie, Leonard Cohen and Prince, to boxing legend Muhammed Ali and actor Alan Rickman. With the end of the year fast approaching, we take a look back at some of the stars we said goodbye to…
Music lost a true icon on 10 January when David Bowie passed away after a secret battle with cancer. His heartbroken son Duncan Jones confirmed the news, and a statement was later posted on 69-year-old David's official Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts.
"David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18 month battle with cancer," it read. "While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family's privacy during their time of grief."
On 14 January came the sad news of Alan Rickman's death. The beloved British actor was also 69 and had been suffering from cancer. Among those who paid tribute to Alan following his passing was his dear friend Emma Thompson, who described him as "the finest of actors and directors" and "the ultimate ally".
"He was, above all things, a rare and unique human being and we shall not see his like again," she added.
Veteran TV presenter Terry Wogan passed away on 31 January after a "short but brave battle with cancer". Helen Boaden, director at BBC Radio, led the tributes to Terry, who had a remarkable 50-year career on radio and television.
"Sir Terry was a radio legend. For decades, he gave great pleasure to radio listeners with his wit, warmth and inimitable humour," she said. "He was an extraordinary broadcaster but also incredibly good fun, and will be sorely missed."
René Angélil
Celine Dion was by her beloved husband René Angélil's side when he passed away 14 January after losing his battle with cancer. The 73-year-old had bravely fought the disease for 16 years.
A few days after his death, Celine paid an emotional tribute to René; the devoted couple were married for 21 years and had three children together, René-Charles, Nelson and Eddy.
"He will be remembered as a gentle man, generous and kind, an unprecedented visionary, a modern Pygmalion, a Renaissance man," she wrote on Facebook. "All who had the privilege of knowing him and of working closely with him, whether personally or professionally, salute a leader and a man of great intelligence and wisdom."
Big Ang
Mob Wives star Angela 'Big Ang' Raiola died on 18 February at the age of 55 after a battle with lung, throat and brain cancer.
A Twitter message written on behalf of her devastated family confirmed the news. "It is with sad regret that we inform you that at 3.01am Angela Raiola peacefully ended her battle with cancer, and was called home," it read.
"She was surrounded by nothing but love from her immediate family, and the closest friends. YOU (her fans) were some of the most special people in the world, and she loved you immensely. Thank you for your love, prayers and unconditional support of Angela right to the very end."
President Barack Obama led the tributes to Harper Lee following her death on 19 February at the age of 89. He said that the incredibly talented writer had "changed America for the better" with her first ever novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, which sold more than 40 million copies and became one of the most beloved and most taught pieces of fiction ever written by an American.
"When Harper Lee sat down to write To Kill a Mockingbird, she wasn't seeking awards or fame. She was a country girl who just wanted to tell an honest story about life as she saw it," the Obama family said in a statement.
"But what that one story did, more powerfully than one hundred speeches possibly could, was change the way we saw each other, and then the way we saw ourselves. Through the uncorrupted eyes of a child, she showed us the beautiful complexity of our common humanity, and the importance of striving for justice in our own lives, our communities, and our country."
Denise Robertson
This Morning agony aunt Denise Robertson lost her battle with pancreatic cancer on 31 March. She was 83. Her death was announced on the ITV show's Twitter page on Friday morning with a heartfelt message that read: "Such sad news – our friend and colleague Denise Robertson has lost her short but determined battle against cancer."
Phillip Schofield was among the first to pay tribute to Denise following the news. "I'm heartbroken at the passing of our @itvthismorning icon Denise Robertson. Kind, thoughtful, caring and wonderful," he wrote.
His co-host Holly Willoughby shared a photo of herself with Denise on Instagram, and wrote alongside: "Yesterday we lost this gorgeous lady after her brave fight with cancer... We will miss her deeply... Denise you were quite simply one of life's good ones Xxx."
On 8 March, Sir George Henry Martin – the man known as the 'Fifth Beatle' – sadly passed away at the age of 90. The acclaimed music producer was remembered across the world, after drummer Ringo Starr broke the news of his death on Twitter.
"I have so many wonderful memories of this great man that will be with me forever," Sir Paul McCartney said of Sir George, who signed the Beatles and produced more than 700 records.
"He was a true gentleman and like a second father to me. He guided the career of The Beatles with such skill and good humour that he became a true friend to me and my family. If anyone earned the title of the fifth Beatle it was George.
"From the day that he gave The Beatles our first recording contract, to the last time I saw him, he was the most generous, intelligent and musical person I've ever had the pleasure to know."
On the morning of 29 March, Patty Duke passed away at the age of 69. Patty was an acclaimed actress; as well as an Academy Award, which she won for her role as Helen Keller in 1962 film The Miracle Worker, she received three Emmys and two Golden Globes in the course of her career. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1982, she was also a prominent campaigner for mental health awareness.
Her son, Lord of the Rings star Sean Astin, paid a touching tribute to his mother. Alongside a photo of Patty holding him as a baby, he shared a heartfelt message that began: "I love you mum."
"This morning, our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, matriarch and the exquisite artist, humanitarian and champion for mental health, Anna PATTY DUKE Pearce, closed her eyes, quieted her pain and ascended to a beautiful place," he wrote. "We celebrate the infinite love and compassion she shared through her work and throughout her life."
Magician Paul Daniels was surrounded by his family when he passed away on 17 March, less than one month after being diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour. Among those paying tribute to the 77-year-old was fellow British magician Dynamo. "Paul was truly a giant of the entertainment world who really denied magic for over 20 years," he said.
"As a working-class magician from the North, he was personally a huge inspiration for me and I know that he has inspired countless magicians around the world and will forever be known as one of the all-time greats."
Ronnie Corbett
Sir Bruce Forsyth, John Cleese, Ricky Gervais and Miranda Hart were among those who paid tribute to Ronnie Corbett, following his death on 31 March at the age of 85. "Ronnie was a friend, someone who I admired so much," Sir Bruce said. "It's a very, very sad day. I'm going to miss him like crazy, I really will."
His wife of 50 years, Anne Hart, later revealed that The Two Ronnies star had been bravely battling motor neurone disease for over a year.
"Ron wasn't just my husband, and the love of my love. He was also my best friend," she said. "Throughout his whole illness, he never grumbled or complained. No one could have been more courageous."
Frank Sinatra Jr
Frank Sinatra Jr, who carried on his famous father's legacy with his own music career, passed away on 16 March at the age of 72. He died unexpectedly of cardiac arrest while on tour in Daytona Beach, Florida, the Sinatra family sadly confirmed in a statement.
Francis Wayne Sinatra was the middle child of Frank and Nancy Sinatra, who was the star's first wife and the mother of all three of his children. He was born in Jersey City, New Jersey, in 1944, just as his father's career was getting started, and he would watch his dad become one of the most famous singers of all time.

Everybody Loves Raymond star Doris Roberts died in her sleep on 17 April aged 90. The actress was best known for playing meddling mother Marie Barone in the US sitcom, for which she won four Emmy awards.
Following the news of her death, her heartbroken former co-stars paid tribute, with on-screen son Ray Romano saying Doris had "an energy and spirit that amazed me".

On 12 April came the news that David Gest had passed away at the age of 62. The producer and reality star – a former husband of Liza Minnelli and childhood friend of Michael Jackson – died at the Four Season hotel in Canary Wharf, London.
His close friend and ex-bodyguard Imad Handi confirmed his death, describing him as a "huge talent". "David was truly larger than life. He was not just a huge talent and a dear friend but a showbiz icon," he said.
"I know he will be missed by millions of fans around the world, and particularly in Britain, who came to love his charm and blistering one-liners."
The world was shocked and saddened once again by the news that Prince had died aged 57. The iconic singer was found at his Paisley Park estate in Minnesota on 21 April. He sold more than 100 million records during his career, including the huge hit albums 1999, Purple Rain and Sign O' the Times.
His death had a profound impact on family, friends and fans across the world. Madonna, Justin Timberlake and Katy Perry were among those paying tribute to the star, while across the globe landmarks and venues were turned purple in memory of Prince.
His ex-wife Mayte Garcia also broke her silence. "I can't even think of the words of what I'm feeling," she said in a statement. "This man was my everything, we had a family. I am beyond deeply saddened and devastated. I loved him then, I love him now and will love him eternally. He's with our son now."
The world of comedy was stunned when the news of Victoria Wood's death was announced. The 62-year-old passed away on 20 April after a "short but brave" battle with cancer. Her family were by her side.
Victoria's long-time comedy partner Julie Walters said she was "too heart sore to comment – the loss of her is incalculable".
The world lost a true icon on 3 June, when Muhammad Ali passed away at the age of 74. The boxing legend passed away at a hospital in Phoenix, Arizona after battling Parkinson's disease for three decades.
Muhammad's death came just 24 hours after it was revealed he had been hospitalised with respiratory issues. He was said to be in a "fair condition" but stayed in hospital for precautionary measures.
Following the news of his death, tributes poured in. World champion boxer Floyd Mayweather said: "There will never be another Muhammad Ali. The black community all around the world, black people all around the world, needed him. He was the voice for us. He's the voice for me to be where I'm at today."
The world was shocked when Christina Grimmie was tragically shot and killed at the age of 22 in Orlando, Florida.
The Voice contestant had been signing autographs following a performance when a gunman shot her three times before Christina's brother Mark tackled him to the ground. The gunman then killed himself.
Tributes poured out from friends, family and fans of the star, with Adam Levine, her mentor on the show, saying: "Behati and I are absolutely devastated and heartbroken by Christina Grimmie's death. Our hearts go out to her family."
Film stars, directors, friends and fans were shocked to hear of the death of actor Anton Yelchin, who was killed in a 'freak accident' on 19 June, aged just 27.

The comedy world mourned the death of Gene Wilder in August. The silver screen actor – star of comedy classics such as Blazing Saddles and The Producers - passed away at the age of 83 from complications from Alzheimer's disease.
Gene's nephew announced the news in a statement. "It is with indescribable sadness and blues, but with spiritual gratitude for the life lived, that I announce the passing of husband, parent and universal artist Gene Wilder," it read.
He also revealed that the Willy Wonka star was diagnosed with the disease three years ago, but had kept the condition private so as not to disappoint fans. "He simply couldn't bear the idea of one less smile in the world."
Director Mel Brooks, Jim Carrey, Rob Lowe and Steve Martin were among those paying tribute. "Gene Wilder – one of the truly great talents of our time," longtime collaborator Mel said. "He blessed every film we did with his magic & he blessed me with his friendship."
Alexis Arquette

The Dead or Alive frontman passed away on Sunday 23 October after suffering a cardiac arrest, his management confirmed in a statement. Pete was 57 at the time.
"All of his family and friends are devastated by the loss of our special star," it read.
"He was a true visionary, a beautiful talented soul, and he will be missed by all who loved and appreciated everything he was and all of the wonderful memories he has left us with."
Pete will be remembered for his 1985 hit You Spin Me Round, and in recent years for appearing on reality TV shows including Celebrity Big Brother, Celebrity Wife Swap and The Body Shocking Show.
The Dad's Army creator sadly passed away at the age of 93 in October.
Jimmy was the mastermind behind one of the most popular comedy series ever, as well as Hi-de-Hi, You Rang M'Lord and It Ain't Half Hot Mum.
He was too young to join the army when the Second World War broke out in 1939, so instead Jimmy joined the local home guard, which is where he drew his experiences from.
Speaking to Radio Times last year, Jimmy revealed that the show almost didn't get made.
"The BBC was so careful that they got market research involved," he said, adding that test screenings of the pilot episode were then showed to audiences.
"One woman said, 'I thought it was rubbish. The public want to forget about the war. They're not interested. We're fed up of having the war shoved down our throats... And that old man with the bald head doesn't know his words!'"
Andrew Sachs
Fawlty Towers star Andrew Sachs passed away in November at the age of 86. The star, who was best known for playing hapless Spanish waiter Manuel on the BBC sitcom, had been battling dementia for four years.
Confirming the sad news, his wife Melody said: "Dementia is the most awful illness, it sneaks in in then night, when you least expect it…
"Don't feel sorry for me because I had the best life with him. I had the best husband and we really loved each other ... We were married for 57 years, we loved each other very deeply and it was a pleasure looking after him. I miss him terribly."
John Cleese, meanwhile, described his former co-star as a "very sweet, gentle and kind man and a truly great farceur", adding: "I could not have found a better Manuel. Inspired."
In November came the sad news that actor Robert Vaughn had died at the age of 83. The star, best known as secret agent Napoleon Solo in The Man from UNCLE, passed away in New York after battling acute leukemia.
Robert was also famous for playing Lee in the Magnificent Seven, and TV roles in Hustle and Coronation Street. He is survived by his wife Linda, and two children, Cassidy and Caitlin Vaughn.
Stephen Fry led the tributes on Twitter. "Robert Vaughn, such a fine actor, one of the best Columbo villains (no higher praise than that) and an utterly charming man," he wrote.
Adrian Lester, who worked alongside Robert in Hustle, tweeted: "RIP Mr Vaughn. It's been a pleasure, Sir."
Leonard Cohen, the singer-songwriter whose work inspired generations, passed away in November at the age of 82. A post of his official Facebook page announced the sad news. "We have lost one of music's most revered and prolific visionaries," it read.
In one of his final interviews, Leonard spoke to the New Yorker about the prospect of death with calmness and clarity. "I am ready to die," he said. "I hope it's not too uncomfortable. That's about it for me."
Tributes poured in on social media for the Canadian musician following his passing, who had released his 14th album, You Want It Darker, in October. "No other artist's music felt or sounded like Leonard Cohen's," Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wrote. "Yet his work resonated across generations. Canada and the world will miss him."
British actor Peter Vaughan, best known for his roles in Game of Thrones and Porridge, died on 6 December at the age of 93. His agent confirmed the sad news, revealing that the star had "died peacefully with his family around him".
Peter specialised in playing characters with a tough edge, from police officers to secret agents and elders. One of his most famous parts was playing villain Grouty in Porridge, despite the fact that he only appeared in a handful of episodes. His other credits included Citizen Smith, Straw Dogs, Our Friends of the North and The Remains of the Day.
However, his role as Maester Aemon Targaryen on Game of Thrones brought him a new level of fame with a younger audience. He started work on the show at the age of 86, and remained on it for five years.
"I've been so lucky with parts," he told BBC Surrey in November, what would be one of his final interviews. "They talk about actors resting. The only time I have ever rested in my 77 years as an actor has been when I've wanted to. Lucky, lucky, lucky."
Alan Thicke
Beloved American TV star Alan Thicke, best known for his starring role as Dr Jason Seaver on Growing Pains, passed away on 13 December at the age of 69. His son, singer Robin Thicke, led the tributes, describing his father as "the greatest man I ever met".
Alan, who suffered a fatal heart attack while playing basketball with his teenage son Carter, was also remembered by a number of stars on social media, including Ellen DeGeneres, Maria Shriver, John Legend and his Fuller House co-star Bob Saget, who wrote: "Such a good husband, father, brother and friend."
The iconic singer passed away on Christmas Day. He was 53. His publicist told HELLO!: "It is with great sadness that we can confirm our beloved son, brother and friend George passed away peacefully at home over the Christmas period. The family would ask that their privacy be respected at this difficult and emotional time. There will be no further comment at this stage."

Valerie Fairman
The 16 and Pregnant star was found dead in her home on Thursday 22 December. She was 23-years-old.

The iconic Hollywood actress suffered a heart attack at the age of 99. Her husband Frederic von Anhalt told AFP news: "Everybody was there. She didn't die alone."

Who killed Jill Dando? Hitman claims he knows who murdered her
The question of who killed Crimewatch presenter Jill Dando has remained unanswered for years, but a new investigation has opened up fresh leads....


ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH 1 in 4 people will suffer from mental illness in their lifetime. 30% of individuals in the Montgomery County jail suffer from a mental illness, costing our county an estimated $7 million a year. Over 60% of homeless individuals in our shelters are mentally ill.
The Montgomery County Health Department has made mental health one of its top three community health priorities and has committed to decreasing wait times for services, increasing mental health screenings, and increasing information about mental health services. LEAD is asking the Health Department to create a communication strategy, centered in congregations, to share information with the public about available mental health resources and the County's plans to expand services. LEAD is also asking that this plan provides the public an opportunity to share the challenges they face when attempting to access mental health care.
The problems related to the intersection of mental illness and the criminal justice system are not addressed as part of the Montgomery County Health Improvement Plan. LEAD will continue to research this problem, meeting with public officials, researching programs in other cities that have addressed these problems, and working to ensure justice for all those suffering from mental illness, especially those in jail. As we continue our research, LEAD is asking Sheriff Plummer to commit to researching solutions to mental health care access and the criminal justice system.

La Fuente de la Diana Cazadora es una fuente monumental localizada en la avenida Paseo de la Reforma de la Ciudad de México. La escultura, llamada originalmente «La Flechadora de las Estrellas del Norte» representa a la diosa de la Grecia Antigua Artemisa o su equivalente romano Diana, de donde tomó su nombre flechando las estrellas. El diseño de la fuente estuvo a cargo del arquitecto Vicente Mendiola Quezada, y la escultura fue realizada por el escultor Juan Fernando Olaguíbel. Fue inaugurada el 10 de octubre de 1942 por el entonces presidente Manuel Ávila Camacho.

Historia

Entre los años 30 y los años 60 las autoridades capitalinas realizaron distintos proyectos de embellecimiento de la capital mexicana que implicarían la colocación de diversos monumentos y fuentes monumentales en el espacio público, en sintonía con el movimiento muralista y con la influencia estética del realismo socialista.

El entonces presidente de México, Manuel Ávila Camacho, a través del regente del Distrito Federal, Javier Rojo Gómez encargaron a la dupla conformada por el arquitecto Vicente Mendiola y el escultor Juan Olaguíbel —que realizaría en conjunto otros proyectos similares como la fuente de la Plaza California en la Colonia del Valle y la Fuente de Petróleos— la construcción de una fuente para la glorieta que se localizaba en Paseo de la Reforma cerca de la entrada al Bosque de Chapultepec. El tema que eligieron los comisionistas fue el de Diana, la diosa romana de la caza, Artemisa en la mitología griega, pero en esta fuente, esa diosa en vez de cazar animales ahora flecharía las estrellas de los cielos del norte. La elaboración de «La Flechadora de las Estrellas del Norte», que tiene un peso aproximado de dos toneladas, ocurrió entre abril y septiembre de 1942 en un taller de la calle Obrero Mundial.

La identidad de quién posó para el artista fue por mucho tiempo un misterio, hasta que en el año de 1992 se supo que la modelo tenía entonces 16 años de edad, se llamaba Helvia Martínez Verdayes (hoy viuda de Jorge Díaz Serrano) y trabajaba por las tardes como secretaria en las oficinas de Petróleos Mexicanos, en una oficina dirigida por Vicente Mendiola, amigo del escultor. Fue ahí donde éste le propuso que modelara para la escultura. La joven aceptó y la escultura fue elaborada de abril a septiembre de 1942, mes en que finalmente se realizó la fundición en bronce de la misma. Durante todo ese tiempo, Helvia Martínez Verdayes posó desnuda para el escultor sin recibir pago alguno a condición de guardar en el anonimato su identidad, como declararía más adelante en entrevistas para Canal 22 y para la revista Macrópolis en junio de 1992; además ella fue la modelo de la Fuente de Petróleos 10 años después, en 1952.

La Fuente de la Flechadora de las Estrellas del Norte fue inaugurada el 10 de octubre de 1942 y desde ese momento se ganó el afecto del pueblo, quien la empezó a llamar «La Diana Cazadora», pero desde esa fecha también se ganó las críticas de los sectores más ultraconservadores de la sociedad mexicana de la época, y un año después la Liga de la Decencia  —de la que formaba parte Soledad Orozco, esposa del entonces presidente Ávila Camacho — tras una serie de actos de protesta que incluyeron la colocación de ropa interior de tela sobre la escultura argumentándose en motivos cristianos, logró que el gobierno capitalino censurara la escultura ordenando a Juan Olaguíbel colocarle un calzoncillo de bronce a su obra. Sin embargo, el artista —previendo otros tiempos de mayor libertad— únicamente lo fijó con tres puntos de soldadura, en espera de poder retirarlo más adelante. En 1957 el monumento sufrió daños por el terremoto de ese año.

Al paso del tiempo, con una mayor apertura social y ante la eventual celebración de las Olimpiadas de México 1968, con el objetivo de mostrar al mundo que la sociedad mexicana estaba a la vanguardia en el ámbito cultural, además de un programa de embellecimiento de la ciudad por el evento internacional, el entonces regente Alfonso Corona del Rosal, en respuesta a una petición de Juan Olaguíbel, decidió retirar el taparrabos de bronce de la escultura, y así tras 25 años, la Diana volvió a lucir su belleza original en 1967. Sin embargo, al realizar esto, la estatua sufrió algunos daños. Para solucionar la situación, se decidió fundir una nueva pieza sin defectos para que ocupara ese lugar, mientras que la que resultó dañada fue vendida por el artista al regente para evitar que la pieza fuera destruida. Esa pieza fue donada por el político a Ixmiquilpan, Hidalgo, su pueblo natal, donde permanece desde 1970. En 1967 la fuente apareció en una escena de la película Los caifanes de Juan Ibáñez, en donde los protagonistas le colocan ropa y El Azteca, protagonizado por Ernesto Gómez Cruz, besa la escultura.

Para 1974 con la construcción del Circuito Interior (hoy Circuito Bicentenario) la Diana fue retirada de su lugar y resguardada por dos años. Luego de las obras, en 1976 fue reubicada a un costado del extinto cine Chapultepec, en el Jardín Ródano o Parque del Ariel, en ese sitio la singular estatua permaneció por un espacio de 16 años. Ante las presiones de la ciudadanía y del círculo intelectual de la ciudad, la Diana se quitó de ese lugar y se colocó en 1992 en su tercera ubicación, en el cruce del Paseo de la Reforma con Río Mississippi y Sevilla, sustituyendo a la Fuente del Cutzamala Sistema Cutzamala, escultura conocida popularmente como "Las regaderas".
Desde entonces ha permanecido en ese sitio.

En 2016 la modelo Helvia Martínez recibió un reconocimiento por parte del Senado Mexicano y otro, las "Alas de la ciudad" por el Gobierno de la Ciudad de México.

Ubicaciones

 La primera ubicación de la fuente fue en la glorieta que se formaba donde se unían el Paseo de la Reforma, y las calles de Lieja y de Río Ródano, frente a la Puerta de los Leones del Bosque de Chapultepec. En 1974 fue retirada y resguardada por las obras de construcción del Circuito Interior y la desaparición de dicha glorieta.
 Posteriormente, en septiembre de 1976, fue colocada en el Jardín Ródano, que se encuentra en el espacio delimitado por la calle Río Ródano, el Paseo de la Reforma y el Circuito Interior, en la Colonia Cuauhtémoc. En ese sitio permaneció prácticamente deslucida durante 16 años.
 El 5 de agosto de 1992 fue trasladada a la glorieta que se forma en el cruce de Paseo de la Reforma con la calle de Sevilla y Río Mississippi, donde permanece hasta ahora.

Easy to use, single-portion BPA-free pouches can be served on their own or as delicious kibble toppers or mix-ins.
Unfortunately our cats are not getting any younger and recently I realized that a diet of dry kibble may not be best for them even if that is what they have always been accustomed to. Oreo is nearly 8 and Fat Fat is already 8. That is getting on up there for a cat and while we love to pamper and spoil them sometimes Fat Fat just did not like wet food. That is not the case when he saw the BFF Oh My Gravy! Potluck O' Pouches Variety Pack. For one of the first times since he joined our family, Fat Fat dug in like this was the first time he had ever seen wet foods. I was simply amazed.
He has not found a variety that he doesn't like his favorite is the Chicken & Tuna. He likes it as a stand alone meal served in a separate bowl beside his dry food. Picky much? HA!
I am happy to feed him this food because it is good for him and I want to do everything in my power to make sure that he is here with us for as long as possible.
If you are looking for a way to get great quality brands sent right to your door, then look no further than Chewy.com. We have absolutely loved that we can get everything we need and want for our pets brought here by FedEX usually by 1-2 day shipping because I always find myself spending over $49 any time I am buying things for our pets.
I also love that Chewy.com has the most amazing customer relations that I have ever dealt with. Any time I have any questions or concerns they are prompt to answer any time I call which is a major plus for me since a lot of times during normal business hours I am too busy to make calls.
Thanks Chewy.com for making our pets happy once again!


Hey there! Welcome to my little pajama party. One night, last week, before I went to bed, I practiced some techniques I plan to use in a few up coming tutorials. When I sat down to play, I didn't plan on actually making a card, but my creative mojo started flowing so I switched on the camera once I realized I was going to create. You can see in the vid that I'm actually wearing my pajamas!
I the kept the cards to a smaller lunchbox sized format. Since I was using up scraps to practice, I just kind of went with it. I haven't been able to put away the Critters at the Dog Park stamp set since I received it a few weeks ago, not to mention my Distress Ink madness craze!
The final cards are 3×4″–just perfect to send in someones lunch kit. I think it's sweet to tell someone you love them during the day and I can't wait to use these cards! I think I'll send one for my nephew, and use the other for my partner in crime.

Great Bridge Roads Completed Six Months Ahead of Schedule
Fri March 18, 2005 - Southeast Edition
Jeff Cronin
A little more than a year after traffic began driving along the new Great Bridge Bridge in Chesapeake, VA, crews have completed the approaching roadways, a $6.8-million project.
Crews from Tidewater Skanska, which also worked on the $20.8-million bridge project, completed the roads approximately six months ahead of schedule.
Originally set for completion in July 2005, the Army Corps of Engineers project was able to get ahead of schedule for a few reasons, said Andrew Spendlove, resident engineer for the Great Bridge project.
What helped a lot was that Tidewater Skanska ended up being the low bidder for both construction contracts on the project. The Corps had originally planned for a phasing of the roadway to coordinate with the on-going bridge work to eliminate conflicts between the projects.
But being at the helm of both phases, Spendlove said they were able to rework some of the sequencing in order to get ahead of the game.
Before work on the Great Bridge was finished, they extended the worksite onto the 46 ft. (14 m) culvert bridge, which was a part of the second contract. By shifting work from one side of the culvert bridge to the other to line up with the work happening on the Great Bridge, and by working 60 hour weeks from Thanksgiving to the end of February, Spendlove said a lot of time was saved.
Also, instead of forming the slabs on-site, Skanska brought in pre-formed concrete slabs for the culvert bridge on lowboys, which also helped the work site shift happen successfully because of the time that saved. Each of the 19 cored slabs weighs approximately 20 tons (18 t) and measure approximately 47 ft. (14 m) long by 4 ft. (1.2 m) wide.
Spendlove said the bridge, now spanning five lanes instead of just two, was ready to drive on approximately a week after the completion of the bulkhead.
Approximately 10,000 cu. yds. (7,650 cu m) of cut and 10,000 cu. yds. (7,650 cu m) of fill was moved during this phase.
But just because crews completed the job so early, doesn't mean they didn't run into any challenges along the way.
Spendlove said the process of driving in the sheet piles for the culvert bridge started without any problems.
But then, one sheet pile just stopped moving and the process began vibrating the embankment, causing some of it to slough into the waterway.
"That got scary for us because cars were going over the road [at the top of the embankment]," he said.
Plans for the 1925 version of the bridge showed there shouldn't have been anything in the way, but the crews soon realized what was going on.
Spendlove said the cofferdam, which was used to keep water away from drying concrete, from the construction of the 1925 bridge was never removed.
In addition, the City of Chesapeake said Skanska crews couldn't cut off a major water and sewer line that ran below the roadway during the peak usage season. Since that was necessary for the project, Spendlove said they provided material for another pipeline to the north end of the project to maintain flow during the project.
Spendlove said this pipeline came in handy when a barge rammed into and damaged the main line. Service remained uninterrupted because of the additional pipeline.
Approximately 9,000 tons (8,200 t) of asphalt was used to create the new roadways, which run approximately .75 mi.
The main subcontractors for the project were: Cascade Contractors, sewer, storm and water utilities; Parkway Grading, paving; Contractors Paving, asphalt; and Denbigh Construction, curbing.

Nicholas Melosh
Professor of Materials Science and Engineering
Bio The Melosh group explores how to apply new methods from the semiconductor and self-assembly fields to important problems in biology, materials, and energy. We think about how to rationally design engineered interfaces to enhance communication with biological cells and tissues, or to improve energy conversion and materials synthesis. In particular, we are interested in seamlessly integrating inorganic structures together with biology for improved cell transfection and therapies, and designing new materials, often using diamondoid molecules as building blocks.
My group is very interested in how to design new inorganic structures that will seamless integrate with biological systems to address problems that are not feasible by other means. This involves both fundamental work such as to deeply understand how lipid membranes interact with inorganic surfaces, electrokinetic phenomena in biologically relevant solutions, and applying this knowledge into new device designs. Examples of this include ?nanostraw? drug delivery platforms for direct delivery or extraction of material through the cell wall using a biomimetic gap-junction made using nanoscale semiconductor processing techniques. We also engineer materials and structures for neural interfaces and electronics pertinent to highly parallel data acquisition and recording. For instance, we have created inorganic electrodes that mimic the hydrophobic banding of natural transmembrane proteins, allowing them to ?fuse? into the cell wall, providing a tight electrical junction for solid-state patch clamping. In addition to significant efforts at engineering surfaces at the molecular level, we also work on ?bridge? projects that span between engineering and biological/clinical needs. My long history with nano- and microfabrication techniques and their interactions with biological constructs provide the skills necessary to fabricate and analyze new bio-electronic systems.

Ripper Mix is another properly balanced combination. It contains 2 seed units per strain in an entirely protected hazard proof box. The feminized Philosopher Seeds Ripper Mix gets you two top quality seeds of Sugar Pop and Fruity Jack. If you ever tasted the original Jack the Ripper weed, you will certainly love this combination.
This kit consists of two hybrids - in both cases a reversed male of Jack The Ripper has been used.
The first strain in this pack - Sugar Pop - is a combo of 60% Sativa and 40% Indica ingredients created with the active participation of Golo Line breeders. It is a rather easy to grow variety that would suit the needs of either inexperienced or busy growers. Very resistant to high temperature and diseases but demanding in nutrients. Once it enters the bloom period, it transforms into a large central bud tree with plenty of beauty pistils covered in resin. This resinous stuff is ready for harvest after 55 days of flowering. Indoor harvest will reach up to 500 g per m2, while outdoor growers can expect 600 grams per plant, ready for harvest in mid October. The taste can be described as a mixture of earthy Kalijah and Jack the Ripper. When dry it does not spread much odor, so it can be recommended for sneaky transportation. Perfect social stress relief companion.
The second ingredient of the Philosopher Seeds feminized Ripper Mix is Fruity Jack. This strain is a mixture of Spannabis 2012 winner Respect #13 with reversed male Jack the Ripper. The combination in final is a 65% Sativa and 35% Indica strong structure variety. Sativa genotype requires a density in growth max up to 16 plants per m2. SOG cultivation can be done with 20 plants per m2. This variety is always thirsty for nutrients so please take attention to sprout it on an rich ground. The reward is a majestic plant with fully covered resin buds perfect for hashish workshop. Indoor yield reaches up to 550 gr per m2 while Guerrilla crop 600 gr per plant being ready around the second half of October. Fruity Jack is one of the most psychoactive variety contributing to stress disconnection. You will adore the perfect fruity taste and the pleasant chilling high.


In this thesis we study networks with a temporal component. We use the interaction-network model to preserve the exact timestamp, and possibly other information, regarding each interaction between the nodes. In this model we study summarization, event detection, centrality measures, and infection spreading in temporal networks.
First, we propose a novel generalization of PageRank centrality measure, which produces realistic centrality estimates with respect to a history of interactions. It captures the temporal changes in the distribution of interactions. We show that if the distribution remains stable, temporal PageRank converges to static PageRank.
Second, we consider the problem of reconstructing an activity propagation in an interaction network. We show that with access to a small noisy set of reported infections we can reconstruct the epidemic spread over time without any assumptions on the propagation model.Next, we consider two event-detection problems.
In the first one we propose a novel model for topically- and temporally-coherent events in social networks. We use textual information and define events to be sets of interactions that are topically close and form a directed tree of information flow. In addition, we address and solve the problem of discovering top-k events.
In the second event-detection problem we aggregate node activity over fixed time intervals. Given a graph snapshot we then define an event to be a set of nodes, which is compact in the graph and has high total activity. We represent compactness in two ways: by total distance between nodes and by minimum spanning tree. To discover snapshots with prominent events in real-world interaction networks we apply greedy heuristic to sweep through the sequence of snapshots.
Summarization covers a wide range of problems. Here we study summarization from two different points of view. First, we formulate a novel problem to explain and summarize all interactions in the interaction network by identifying activity intervals of the nodes. We consider two variants of the summarization problem: minimization of the total length of activity intervals and minimization of the maximum interval length.
Second, we consider a novel problem of discovering a set of nodes, which forms a dense subgraph and whose interactions occur in short time intervals. This formulation provides an accurate representation of dense overlapping communities and their dynamics over the network history.
For all proposed novel problems we present complexity analysis, develop novel or adapt existing algorithms, and prove quality guarantees. The algorithms are thoroughly evaluated on synthetic and real-world datasets and compared against baselines.

Q: BehaviorSubject.value is undefined and BehaviorSubject.next() is not a function I'm having trouble with BehaviorSubjects.
in gallery.component.ts there are 3 BehaviorSubject like @Input, for the moment I'm trying to make "brands" work which I log into the console in ngOnInit() with a setTimeout and it returns "undefined" but the same used in the html template gives me the values that I expect.
Also when I try to give "this.brands.next (brands)" in the "checkboxChange()" function it gives me this error: "this.brands.next () is not a function".
I suppose the problem is in the @Input step, because the same code, in another project that doesn't use @Inputs, works correctly.

Редувій ряджений (Reduvius personatus) — вид комах з родини Reduviidae. Назва комахи обумовлена тим, що її німфа маскує себе за допомогою часточок ґрунту і пилу. Редувій ряджений — хижак, що полює на невеликих членистоногих, таких як мокриці, сітчастокрилі, шкірястокрилі, постільні клопи та терміти. Для людини редувій ряджаний безпечний, не є кровососучим, але може вжалити людину, захищаючи себе, якщо його ловити. Укус комахи не несе небезпеки, але може бути болючим і викликати невеликий набряк.

Морфологічні ознаки
Дорослі особини довжиною 17-22 мм. Забарвлення від темно-коричневого до чорного кольорів. Мають видовжену голову з коротким хоботком, що складається з трьох сегментів, і довгі, тонкі антени. Черевце широке. Має крила. Німфи цього виду схожі на дорослих особин, зазвичай темно-забарвлені, але виглядають сірими, або світло-забарвленими завдяки маскувальному костюму з пилу, піску чи часточок ґрунту. Німфи виділяють липку речовину, яка покриває їхнє тіло повністю, включаючи антени та всі шість ніг, що забезпечує прилипання до них пилу та дрібних часточок ґрунту.

Поширення
Редувій ряджений — це голарктичний вид. Зустрічається в Україні. Батьківщиною редувія рядженого є Європа, але зараз вид також поширений в Північній америці, куди комахи були випадково завезені і прижилися. Також зустрічається в Південній Африці.

Життєвий цикл
Редувій ряджений, як і інші напівтвердокрилі (Hemiptera) має життєвий цикл з неповним метаморфозом. На ранніх стадіях розвитку, в стадії німфи, редувій виглядає, як зменшена копія дорослої особини. Зазвичай життєвий цикл цього клопа займає рік. Дорослі особини з'являються пізньої весни і влітку.

Поведінка

Німфи редувія рядженого маскуються за допомогою піску. На поверхні їхнього тіла виділяється липка речовина, яка покриває їхнє тіло повністю, включаючи антени та всі шість ніг, що забезпечує прилипання до них пилу та дрібних часточок ґрунту.
Щоб збудувати маскувальний костюм з ґрунту, німфи допомагають собі задніми ногами і tarsal fan. При цьому вибудовується два шари: внутрішній шар з менших часточок і зовнішній шар — з грубіших. Можливо, що саме наявність цих двох шарів в маскувальному костюмі, пояснює наявність на німфах довгих і коротших ворсинок.

Німфа може використовувати зазубрені ворсинки, розташовані на її череві, щоб допомагати розпушувати ґрунт, який вона використовує для виготовлення маскувального костюму. Камуфляж допомагає німфам редувія рядженого залишатися непомітними для жертв під час полювання, а також дозволяє їм залишатися непоміченими для ворогів. Редувій ряджений полює вночі на різних комах, наприклад, на постільних клопів.

І німфи і дорослі особини редувія рядженого — хижаки, які полюють на різних членистоногих, проколюючи їхнє тіло хоботком і висмоктуючи вміст.

У будинках людини редувій ряджений може зустрічатися в невеликій кількості і віддає перевагу сухим місцям. Інколи зустрічаються в будинках, заражених постільним клопом, тому що полюють на останніх.

A brand dedicated to celebrating the strength of the ocean and its athletes.
Living on the coast of Southern California, our lives revolve around the ocean. We feel gratitude every time we paddle out, but over the years we've noticed the increasing environmental issues surrounding our oceans.
Whether a surfer, swimmer, lifeguard, paddler, rower or freediver, every athlete that trains in the ocean is aware of the pollution affecting our water, our beaches, and our marine life.
Our idea is to bring together a worldwide community of like-minded watermen and women that have UNLIMITED passion for being on or in the water, and who wish to join our movement in raising awareness about the environmental concerns affecting our oceans.


Hellooo foodie friends! You're all just so fantastic, and I think you should know that. You should also know that cheesecake, yes cheesecake, is fantastic. As you probably remember from previous posts, I am a bit obsessed with desserts, but honestly who isn't?! I need names, receipts, and logical arguments because I will take them to the People's Court.
Anyway now that I've done my typical rant/intro into the post I guess I could move along. Honestly though sometimes it's so hard to start a post and then get into the all the important things to share like...WHY IS CHEESECAKE SO MAGICAL!!!
I was inspired by Rosie's Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie, but only for the Oreo crust because....duh! I wish emojis worked in blog posts. I'd probably add the lady flipping her hair or the kitten giving the kiss face.
Anyway.......*sigh*........So a lot of this posts inspiration was based off of old posts, first the pie and then also my Thanksgiving Cheesecake last year.
Start by making the crust. Like Rosie, I just threw the Oreos in a blender with the melted butter and got it ground up nice and coarse. I put it into the spring form pan and pressed it against all the sides, creating a pseudo-bowl. Once I finished it up, I threw them in the freezer while I prepped the filling.
side note: You have to use these the berry and peanut butter Oreos because it adds to the extra special love that this cheesecake gives you.
Preheat the oven to 350˚ after making the crusts.
For the filling, as I had previously done, I started with mixing the cream cheese in my mixer to soften it up. Once it's soft, add in the sugar, milk and eggs. Mix on low until you get a nice creamy filling.
While the filling is mixing on low, or after finishing up with cream cheese filling, blend up the strawberries and raspberries into a purée.
Pull the crust out of the freezer. Pour the cream cheese filling into crust. Then you'll pour in the purée to the center of the cheesecake. Feel free to make some fun designs, or don't, it's your dessert!
Bake in the oven for 45 minutes until the center is set, trust me on this! I've been through that before. Cool on a counter for about an hour and then refrigerate overnight or at least 3 hours for the chillest of chill cakes.
Trust that everyone will love this. My little niece loved it and she told me that she "hated" cheesecakes before hand.

Firm advises BOCOM International on US$200 million sovereign bond offered by Republic of Maldives
Thomas Kollar
Jason T. Elder
Mayer Brown advised Bank of Communications International Holdings Co. as sole global coordinator of the Republic of Maldives' recent issuance of US$200 million 7.0% notes due 2022.
BOCOM International (BOCMI) is the securities arm of China's fifth-largest bank. The debut US dollar bond issued by the island nation marked the first transaction in which a Chinese investment bank has been the sole lead of an international sovereign bond issuance.
Thomas Kollar, lead partner of the transaction, said: "This transaction is a prime example of the emergence of Chinese investment banks, in this case BOCOMI, and their strength in leading complex deals to the market and delivering for their clients. It was a great transaction for the government, and we were very happy to be a part of such a successful trade."
With deep experience in cross-border international capital and debt markets transactions, the firm previously advised on another landmark sovereign transaction this year, the Government of Mongolia's issuance of US$600 million 8.75% notes due 2024 in March 2017, and other milestone transactions in the country.
The team was led by Corporate & Securities partner Thomas Kollar and included partner Jason T. Elder in Hong Kong.
Practices –


I have recently bought a silver birch (betula utilis var jaquemontii). I left it in the pot I bought it in for a week before repotting it in a big ceramic pot. It has been in the pot now for 2 weeks and doesn't look too healthy. Firstly, the leaves started turning yellow with brown spots and now they are falling off. The leaves at the very top are still green. I have been watering it daily and I used the compost that the garden centre recommended to replant it. Will it come back do you think? I have a guarantee from the garden centre. Should I take it back?
It may be suffering from transplant shock and possibly has a fungus (which like to attack plants that are weakened for one reason or another. This article will help with transplant shock: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/learn-how-to-avoid-and-repair-transplant-shock-in-plants.htm and also treat the tree with a fungicide.

Source One was busy last quarter, and the media took notice!
With Source One's move to new headquarters in April, we could fully facilitate our Supply Chain Center of Excellence -- our think-tank for developing best and next practices for the future procurement industry. ThomasNet covered the news in its IMT Procurement Journal. Buyers Meeting Point took notice as well, stating that "many procurement organizations have been around long enough that they are in need of a re-tooling." And as you may have seen earlier today, tED Magazine used the Center of Excellence's focus on supplier relationship management as the basis for its interview of Joe Payne last month.
Of special note is PhillyBurbs.com. This network of Philadelphia-area newspapers covered not only Source One's move, but tapped us as a source for information in their article "More Companies Commit to Made In The USA," where we were able to speak on reshoring as well as the rising popularity of nearshoring initiatives.
As part of our addition of a Supply Chain Center of Excellence, Source One needed to offer more channels of communication within the company to foster idea development. The most successful additional channel so far has clearly been our Charity Pool Tournament, and business-minded blog Technical.ly gave special mention to it late last month.
Also in the news was Director David Pastore's and Senior Project Manager Jennifer Ulrich's speaking at Widener University. The duo spoke to an audience of finance whizzes on the relationship troubles that can occur between procurement and finance, and took some time afterwards to answer questions. David wrote up the answers to the most commonly asked questions for an interesting read in ThomasNet, and the article can be found here.
As a final bit of Center of Excellence coverage, PI Window on the World's Jon Hansen sat with William Dorn and Joe Payne to interview the duo on the changes in the procurement industry, and you can hear the first part of the interview here.
As busy as this just-concluded quarter has been, the next one's stacking up to be even busier. Stay tuned!

Good Vault wears iPhone security on its sleeve
By Greg Crowe
This article has been updated to include Precise Biometric's Tactivo.
Mobile device management is an ever-growing concern in the public-sector IT world. Making sure everyone has access to the right apps and documents is no small task. Of course, identity and access management is just as important. Multi-factor authentication, whether using smart cards or biometrics, is essential for agencies. Unfortunately, combining the two into a single sign-on hasn't always been easy or elegant.
Good Technology Corp. has a potential solution for iPhones with Good Vault, software that works with Precise Biometrics' Tactivo, a smart casing with an embedded fingerprint and smart card reader. It works with any iPhone 4 or 4s, and comes in the form of a sleeve that slides onto the phone and has either a smart card reader or a microSD reader built in. The sleeve adds only a half-inch in length, 0.16 inches in width and 0.22 inches in thickness, and weighs 1.5 ounces. It allows the device to log into the Good Trust platform and through it to the network's native authentication service, such as Active Directory. Precise Biometrics also makes Tactivo for iPads.
The Good Trust platform also permits enterprises to create apps that set policies for document use and even to use Good Vault to control building access through the smart phones.
This is an area of network security that has been getting an increasing amount of attention, as more and more agencies adopt BYOD strategies. The platform will let an agency adapt an existing physical authentication system (such as smart cards) to the task of managing its mobile devices.
The company says it is planning to release versions of Good Vault for other mobile devices, as well as accessories for biometric authentication. More information is available on the company's website.

With the exception of a very small friends and family round to pay for office space and cloud costs, we have bootstrapped to date. We wanted to get closer to product-market fit before looking to raise. We will kick off a funding process later in 2010.
