Hi Simple Stories Fans! Rebecca here today to share my favorite part of documenting fall!
For the past few years I have followed along with Cathy Zielske's 30 Days of Thankful and created mini albums documenting a photo a day in November. Last year, I used a Simple Stories 6x8 Album and the Life Documented Collection. And the year before I used a Simple Stories 6x8 Album and the Daily Grind Collection. Thus year I decided to use a Simple Stories 4x6 album. I have to say there is a lot less pressure in the smaller format album! I am also using the Simple Stories Pumpkin Spice collection this year. There are so many grateful-themed sentiments in this collection and the colors are perfectly fall-themed too! I love starting with the cover because you get to be creative and have fun.
To prep the inside of my album I cut up all my 3x4, 4x4 and 4x6 cards from patterned paper. I filled all of the page protectors that came with the album with my favorites.
I included the 4x6 transparency in one of the 4x6 pockets. I will keep it in mind to take at least one horizontal photo with lots of white space at the bottom!
I even cut apart all my 2x2 squares. Some of these will end up being covered by photos.
I kept a few of the divider pages that are included with the album. I may use the backs of these for longer typewritten journaling.
I backed two of the smaller chipboard frames and added enamel dots to the outside of the page protector...just for fun!
I am so excited to have the bones of my album completed so that during the month of November I can just slip in photos and add journaling! Be sure to stay tuned to the Simple Stories blog because later in the month I will be back to share the progress of this fun album!
this is just GORGEOUS Rebecca!

Thousands of residents flee terrorism-torn Yarmouk Camp
by Al-Masdar News
Damascus, SANA – Residents of the terrorism-torn Yarmouk Camp in Damascus have been fleeing the neighborhood under incessant attacks by terrorists of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and Jabhat al-Nusra.
Up to 2000 people have fled in the past two days, who were moved to government-run makeshift centers in the al-Tadamun and al-Zahira neighborhoods.
Many of the fleeing locals opened up to SANA and spoke of their ordeal having had to experience the terrorists' unspeakable brutality firsthand.
Those told the reporter that they were helped by the Syrian army and Palestinian factions and popular committees to leave their neighborhood, which has been besieged by terrorist groups since 2012.
The recent intensive assault by ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra against Yarmouk Camp, which hosts Palestinian refugees and Syrian citizens, began last week, with the terrorists attacking and robbing houses, committing mass killings among civilians and holding others in captivity.
The latest of such crimes took place yesterday, where terrorists killed and decapitated 5 people and shot dead two young men under the residents' eyes.
Minister of Social Affairs Kinda al-Shammat inspected the situation of the new arrivals at a makeshift center today, stressing that the Ministry has immediately responded to all the urgent needs of those families in cooperation with the General Administration for Palestine Arab Refugees (GAPAR).
She noted that there will be integral successive programs to provide psychological and health care to children and women.

Frida Kahlo, a beloved Mexican painter, overcame great illness and injury to create over 100 vibrant works depicting her life, her pain, and the symbols of her culture.
Frida Kahlo was born in 1907 to parents of German and Spanish descent, in Coyoacan, outside Mexico City. After contracting polio at age six, Frida also suffered severe injuries in a bus accident. Her time spent in recovery turned her toward a painting career. These experiences, combined with a difficult marriage to the artist Diego Rivera, generated vibrant works depicting Frida's experiences with pain as well as the symbolism and spirit of Mexican culture. Though she died in 1954, interest in her work continues to grow, with museum exhibitions and publications around the world. This biography will introduce art students and adult readers to one of the Latino culture's most beloved artists.
In 2002, the film Frida introduced the artist and her works to a new audience. In 2007, the 100th anniversary of Kahlo's birth, a major exhibition of her work was held at the Museum of the Fine Arts Palace in Mexico. In 2007 through 2008, another major exhibition began its journey to museums throughout the United States.

WWE Jeff Hardy Net Worth WWE Raw The Hardy Boyz Matt Hardy WWE Raw Tag Team Championship Ring of Honor Christian(WWE)
Full NameJeffrey Nero Hardy
BornAugust 31, 1977
Height6'1
NationalityAmerican
Relation(s)Brother of Matt Hardy
Jeff Hardy made his WWE debut as a jobber in 1994, losing to Razor Ramon in a match in Youngstown, Ohio. He occasionally wrestled as a jobber until late 1997, even losing to Rob Van Dam during the first ECW Invasion.

However, in 1998, Hardy and his brother, Matt, were signed to WWE contracts in 1998. The pair were sent for training to Dory Funk Jr's Funkin' Dojo, where they were joined by future Superstars Kurt Angle, Matt Bloom, Test and Christian.
When the Hardy Boyz were first brought up to the main roster, they primarily performed at house shows and only had their first major program against The Brood in 1999. The North Carolina natives won their first Tag Team Championships in July of that year when they defeated The Acolytes.
Even though they dropped the titles back to Simmons and Bradshaw a month later, they managed to secure the services of Terri Runnels as their manager when they won the Terri Invitational Tournament at No Mercy 1999. The Daredevil and his brother defeated Edge and Chrisitan in a tag-team ladder match in the finals of the tournament.
At WrestleMania 2000, the Hardys faced the Dudley Boys and Edge and Christian in a ladder match that Edge and Christian won. The three teams were also involved in the first two TLC matches, which are now part of WWE folklore and are widely emulated by professional wrestlers around the world.
In the year 2000, Lita became the new manager of The Hardy Boyz, and the trio began calling themselves Team Xtreme. They continued their feud with Edge and Christian, defeating the Canadians on two occasions to win the Tag-Team Championships.
While both brothers were over as a tag team, Jeff began to receive special attention because of his stunts in the TLC matches and was given a singles push in 2001. The younger Hardy even defeated Triple H for the Intercontinental Championship and held the Hardcore title on two occasions.
At Vengence 2001, the two brothers faced off for the Hardcore Championship with Lita as the special guest referee. The finish involved Hardy pinning Matt while the latter's foot was on the ropes. This led to Hardy and Lita feuding against Matt, but before the program could come to a conclusion, The Undertaker defeated The Daredevil to win the Hardcore title.
After winning the strap, The Deadman launched a brutal assault on Hardy and Lita, injuring them both in kayfabe. On the following episode of SmackDown, The Texan turned his attention to Matt, putting him out of commission. Due to a lack of storylines, none of the members of Team Xtreme appeared on TV until the Royal Rumble pay-per-view.
When they returned to television, the Hardy Boyz were presented as a tag team and there was no mention of their split. In April 2002, the brothers started a feud with Brock Lesnar after the University of Minnesota product hit Matt with an F5 on the entrance ramp.
However, the matches were lopsided as The Beast Incarnate dominated the former Tag Team Champions and used them as a stepping stone to bigger things. The only solace that the Hardys had was a victory via disqualification.
Despite this setback, The Charismatic Enigma defeated Bradshaw to win his third Hardcore title before challenging The Undertaker for the Undisputed title. Even though he was ultimately unsuccessful, Hardy earned the respect of The Deadman because of his sheer persistence.
During the course of the year, Hardy opted to pursue his singles ambitions on the flagship show while Matt jumped over to SmackDown, splitting the Hardy Boyz. Even though Hardy was primed for a singles run, he fell victim to WWE's stop-start booking and continued to stagnate in the mid-card.
He was eventually released on April 22, 2003, after refusing to go to rehab and address a possible drug problem.
Hardy spent some time with ROH and Impact Wrestling before resigning with the world's largest wrestling promotion on August 04, 2006. He received a push as soon as he returned, defeating WWE Champion Edge via DQ. After a number of unsuccessful attempts, Hardy defeated Johnny Nitro to win his second Intercontinental title on October 02, 2006.
Even though he lost it back to Nitro on November 06, 2006, the North Carolina native quickly regained the Intercontinental Championship the following week. He held onto the strap until February 19, 2007, when he dropped it to Umaga.
Meanwhile, Hardy also joined forces with Matt, winning the Tag Team Championships in a 10-team battle royal on the episode of Raw after WrestleMania 23. The Hardys dethroned John Cena and Shawn Michaels to embark on their sixth World Tag Team title reign.
Just as he was gaining momentum, Hardy had a wellness policy violation in March 2008, ruling him out of WrestleMania 24. He was then drafted to SmackDown where he finally received a big push and finally won the WWE Championship, in a triple threat match also featuring Triple H and Edge, at Armageddon 2008.
Hardy dropped the title to Edge at Royal Rumble 2009 after interference from a jealous Matt. After a program with his brother, Jeff defeated Edge at Backlash to win the World Heavyweight Championship. However, CM Punk cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and took the strap from Hardy on the same night.
After a dirty finish at the Bash, the Attitude Era star managed to regain the Big Gold Belt at Night of Champions. Hardy once again lost the title to Punk at Summerslam in a TLC match before losing a rematch inside a steel cage on SmackDown, forcing him to leave WWE, as per the match's stipulation.
In reality, Hardy left to deal with a number of injuries which included problems with his neck and two herniated disks in his lower back.
This time, the former World Champion spent nearly 6 years with Impact Wrestling and had a short stint with ROH before making a shock return at WrestleMania 33 alongside brother Matt where the Hardy Boyz defeated Sheamus and Cesaro, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson and Enzo Amore and Big Cass to win the Raw Tag Team Championships.
The Hardys dropped the titles to Sheamus and Cesaro at Extreme Rules 2017 before failing to regain it at the following pay-per-view, Great Balls of Fire. Hardy then returned to singles competition and failed to defeat Jason Jordan for the Intercontinental Championship. He then suffered a shoulder injury in September, ruling him out for four to six months.

(The Root) — From Snoop Dogg and Ice-T to Tupac and Eazy-E, West Coast rappers have made an undeniable impact on hip-hop. Photographer Michael Miller was there during their heyday in the 1990s to capture the genre's rising stars and inevitable hip-hop icons.
His West Coast Hip Hop: A History In Pictures is a 200-page coffee-table book that chronicles the progression of this musical movement in photos that are beautiful and affecting. From Over the Edge Books, the collection includes a hazy, almost sepia-toned image of Cypress Hill that was used in their demo packaging, a never-seen-before shot of Eazy-E kneeling next to a skateboard deck that has a devilish sticker (check out the "666") and rare images of Snoop Dogg at an album-cover shoot.
The volume is an amazing piece of hip-hop lit that would be a great addition to any rap fan's library.

Daisy Perfume Tester by Marc Jacobs, The world of women's perfume is vast and exciting. Marc Jacobs is a superb fragrance designer, and his brand quickly climbed into the hearts of many. The Daisy by Marc Jacobs perfume line was unveiled in 2007. The delicate scent of Daisy Marc Jacobs perfume was created by perfumer Alberto Morillas, and the scent features notes of violet leaves, wild strawberry, red grapefruit, gardenia, jasmine, vanilla, violet, musk, and white woods. The fresh and feminine scent of Daisy makes it popular with women around the world and perfect for everyday wear. Every detail of this perfume evokes a playful and feminine spirit, even down to the design of the bottle, with its scattered daisies on top of the rounded gold cap. . This fragrance contains 100ml or 3.4 fluid ounces of Eau de Toilette (EDT) Spray Tester.
Testers are even more discounted than the fancy boxed versions and are great if you don't have a need for the fancy packaging. Testers are 100% authentic, fresh and completely full just like the original fragrance, however they are meant for the counter in a department store. Testers often come in a plain white box but sometimes they do not have a cap. The savings on the packaging means you save even more!


A Docker Registry is treated in Octopus Deploy as a feed that supplies images that are run as containers on a Docker Engine host.
See an example deployment using Docker Registries in our guide: Docker run with networking.
In Octopus Deploy, Docker Registries are treated very similarly to Package Repositories, and Images are treated very similarly to Packages.
Octopus Deploy supports the Docker Registry Version 1 and Version 2 API specifications as outlined in the Docker reference files. You can access Docker Registries with or without using credentials, depending on registry configuration. You can use one of the hosted public registries, like Docker Hub, or you can host your own Private Registry.
The Docker Registries you configure need to be accessed by both the Octopus Server and your Deployment Targets.
The Octopus Server will contact your registry to obtain information on available images while designing and maintaining your projects. During deployment the docker pull command will be executed on the Deployment Targets themselves and they will pull the Images directly from the Docker Registry.
When you add your Docker Registry as a feed in Octopus Deploy, Octopus will attempt to detect and connect using the appropriate version based on specifications outlined in the relevant Docker API documentation. If your registry does not support the API correctly, it is possible that the connection will not be able to take place. We advise you to click Save and Test once you have entered the registry details to allow the version detection to take place and confirm that your credentials are correct.
According to the Docker API documentation, the version 1 API should have a /_ping endpoint which will respond with a X-Docker-Registry-Version HTTP header in the response. Similarly, the version 2 API expects a Docker-Distribution-API-Version HTTP header with a value of registry/2.0. Both of these endpoints are expected to be located at an absolute path of either /v1 or /v2 from the host.
Octopus Deploy does not currently support functionality to push Images from the Octopus Deploy Server to the Deployment Targets in the same way that it does with other supported packages. That being said, the layered architecture of Images allows your Deployment Targets to retrieve only those pieces that have changed from previous versions that are locally available, which is behavior built in to the Docker Engine.
It is possible that the URI to the Docker Registry will be different for the Octopus Server and the Deployment Targets. You can use the Registry Path field when configuring the Docker Registry in Octopus to provide an alternative URI to use on the Deployment Target.
Docker Images with the same name are grouped together and referred to (in Docker terminology) as a repository. This is very similar to how Octopus, and other package managers like NuGet, treat Packages with the same Name or ID. When you configure a Docker step in Octopus you choose an Image by its Name, just like you would choose a Package ID for any of the other supported packages.
When you create a release in Octopus, you need to choose the "version" of the Image(s) you want as part of the release. Octopus will load the Tags for the Image(s) and attempt to parse them as a Semantic Version. The tags that can be parsed as a valid Semantic Version will be available to be selected for deployment as the "version" of the Container Image(s).
The simplest way to host your own private v2 Docker Registry is to run the run a container from the official registry image!
This image supports custom storage locations, certificates for HTTPS and authentication. For more details on setting up the registry checkout the official docs.
There are many other options for private registries such as self hosting through Docker Trusted Registry or Artifactory, or using a cloud provider like Azure, AWS or Quay.
Note that as of the current version of ProGet (version 4.6.7 (Build 2)), their Docker Registry Feed does not expose the full Docker API and is missing the _catalog endpoint which is required to list the available packages for release selection. It has been indicated that this may change in a future release.
Although a search feature is available in the v1 registry API, as of the time of writing there is no built-in search ability in the v2 specifications. There are ongoing discussions around an open GitHub ticket in the Docker registry Github repository however there is no clear indication if one will be provided due to changes in the philosophy behind the registry responsibilities. The current workaround, and one one that Octopus Deploy uses when a v2 Docker registry is provided, is to retrieve the full catalog via the /v2/_catalog endpoint and search for the required image locally.
If your Octopus Deploy instance is having problems trying to connect with your Docker Registry when running the Save and Test operation, it may failing due to reasons outside the control of Octopus Deploy.
Try to connect to your registry directly through the browser from the same machine that Octopus is hosted on. Use the feed url you provided and ensure that either /v1 or /v2 is appended to the end of the path depending on what version of the Docker Registry API you are running. If the connection is valid then you should receive a 200 response, possibly receiving a user auth challenge (see API details above under Docker Registry API version discovery). If this does not occur then you may be having issues with your registry or network which you may need to fix before using through Octopus Deploy.


"Cultural and physical genocide must be opposed wherever it occurs."
It is high time we recognized the preservation of endangered peoples for what it is: not simply an act of commiseration, but, above all, an act of self-preservation. For, among those peoples, everything our industrialized, utilitarian age has taken from us is preserved, at least in vestigial form. If we wish to become truly human, then we need development aid from those we - in our blind arrogance - call "underdeveloped.
The "Gesellschaft für bedrohte Völker" (GfBV), today's foremost German human rights organization after Amnesty International, came into being in 1970. The group emerged from the movement "Aktion Biafrahilfe," which had been founded in 1968 by two Hamburg students as a reaction against the genocide committed against the Ibos.
After decolonization, the Biafra crisis provoked a new type of minority conflict: the revolt of ethnic groups within "Third World" states, most of which were arbitrary creations by colonial powers. The "Third World solidarity movement" was not prepared to cope with conflicts of this type. The young French doctor, Bernard Kouchner, now international renowned as the founder of the "doctors across borders" movement, criticized this failure on his return from Biafra in 1970: "The Left has closed its eyes against the extermination of the...Biafrans, Kurds, South Sudanese, Indians of Mato Grosso...; the only point of interest to them is whether the dying belong to the Left or not."
From the beginning, the GfBV, like Amnesty International, has opposed political bias of all kinds; as a human rights organization, it supports endangered and persecuted ethnic, racial, and religious minorities in numerous states and political systems. It interceded on behalf of Tibetans during the Chinese cultural revolution (which, at the time, was widely glorified in our hemisphere), on behalf of Crimean Tatars resettled by force in the USSR, on behalf of Indians of both Americas, on behalf of Eritreans, Kabyles of Algeria, the Saharwis, and Australian Aborigines. Condemning, as it does, both the US threat to Nicaragua and the suppression of Miskitos by the Sandinistas, the GfBV has "established itself in the appropriate position for that kind of organization: between all possible schools," the Süddeutsche Zeitung has commented.
One of the GfBV's main tasks is the battle against both cultural extermination ("ethnocide") and physical extermination ("genocide"). To this end, it has always placed particular importance on genocidal crimes against peoples "no one speaks of," i.e. West Papuans of New Guinea, the Hill Tribes and Biharis of Bangladesh, Nagas and Mizos in India, and many others. The crime of genocide was defined, in the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention as an act "with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group, as such." The crime of ethnocide is defined by the GfBV as follows: "Ethnocide is the annihilation of the cultural, linguistic, and ethnic character of a national group, or its assimilation by force, in other words the destruction of national identity."
5. enforced missionization (enforced Christianization, Islamization, etc.).
6. providing expert advice to journalists, authors, publishers, and other organizations.
- In conducting research and providing basic information on the approximately 20,000 Christian Assyrians of New-Aramaic idiom living among us, the GfBV was instrumental in gaining recognition as political refugees.
- The wide publicity given in the German media to the genocide committed against Armenians in 1915-18 was made possible by four hitherto unmatched GfBV documents. These also were published and acknowledged internationally.
- From 1970 until 1976, the GfBV was the only German institution doing "pioneer work" on behalf of Kurds, of whom no less than 300,000 are now living among us.
- By organizing effective publicity tours of the Federal Republic for spokesmen of Indian civil rights movements from North, Central, and South America it has been possible to awaken continuous interest and attention among the churches, humanitarian organizations, and Third World groups. This has led to the formation of a large number of action groups in support of the Indian peoples, particularly in Latin America.
- It was the GfBV which stimulated discussion, at national and international levels, about the genocide against the "gypsies" (a taboo subject in Germany until 1978). This resulted in public rehabilitation of this ethnic group as well as the elimination of numerous discriminatory regulations, which were in force in Germany between 1943 and 1979. Since then the proper terms "Roma" and "Sinti" have been widely accepted, and civil rights groups of this German national minority are now subsidized by Federal and "Länder" governments.
In 1983, the dramatic intensification of discriminatory measures by German authorities against so-called "guest workers" ("Gastarbeiter," the German term for foreign laborers), political refugees enjoying political asylum, and stateless Roma, led to numerous GfBV activities on behalf of Assyrians, Kurds, Jesidi, Tamils, South Sudanese, Roma, and others. It is one of the facts of our time that the activity for an organization such as the "Gesellschaft für Bedrohte Völker" is increasing rather than decreasing.

MO•LOUIE AND HER SELF-PRODUCED MIXTAPE "AN ODD WORLD"
A multi-faceted artist: Mo•Louie is a music producer, sound engineer and electronic artist from Melbourne. She studied music production at Collarts where she learned to merge her personal style of writing songs with the actual music production. In fact, last November she released her mixtape titled "An Odd World", which represents her first complete and fully produced work by herself. This production represents a mix of possibilities and musical experimentations that Mo has fully embraced, making use of all her artistic knowledge.
Inside the mixtape, there are singles who have received a positive opinion from the media world, a sign that Mo is going in the right direction with her music! The mixtape was born during the Covid-19, is, therefore, an introspective vision of a mentally ill person, forced into a banal and repetitive routine, enclosed in a sort of glass box from which she can not express her true emotions. Each song represents a different emotional stage that Mo wanted to make available to her listeners so that anyone can find themselves in her own words. "Many of these songs are ideas and fragments that captured my emotional state at that particular moment".

The use of Valley rivers as disposal sites for untreated sewage and encroachment of riverbanks by squatters and unauthorised new buildings has ravaged the river environment of Kathmandu Valley. The solution, say the experts, is not big clean up projects but active involvement in conservation efforts of people living alongside the polluted rivers like Bagmati, Bishnumati and Tukucha. A two-day international symposium on "Community-led Management of River Environment" in Kathmandu emphasised as much. If every community living along riverbank prevents emptying of untreated sewage in the stretch of the river that falls in its area, such an unhealthy practice has to stop sooner or later.
Unless the true importance of these rivers is realised by the population at large, all efforts of the government, the NGOs and INGOs will come to a naught. As we have witnessed in the last decade or so, a top-down approach seldom works in conservation efforts. The initiative rather has to come from the grassroots level. Small community efforts have to merge into a bigger movement to get the desired changes. Likewise, people can work at the community level to prevent illegal construction on riverbeds. Or they can band together for a door-to-door awareness campaign against the hazards of river pollution. Hence, in order to bring about real change, Kathmandu residents will have to take the onus of cleaning up the polluted rivers themselves rather than only frown upon unsuccessful government efforts.

COVID-19 has claimed the lives of thousands of South African citizens and millions of people around the world. President Cyril Ramaphosa has consistently referred to gender-based violence as South Africa's second pandemic as it results in the deaths of thousands of women every year. The UN's Global Goal 3 calls for good health and well-being for all people and Goal 5 calls for gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls. These goals can only be achieved through persistent awareness and recognition of the issues by world leaders. Join the movement and take action here.
South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa took to the podium on Wednesday evening to address the state of the country and the progress that has been made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ramaphosa sought to comfort the country throughout his speech, referring to the address for the first time as a "national family meeting" — a term coined by South Africans on social media and used throughout 2020 to refer to any time the president addresses the nation.
While his speech was largely to encourage citizens not to give up on COVID-19 prevention measures, and to announce the extension of the National State of Disaster, he took a moment to address the upcoming 16 Days of Activism campaign against gender-based violence (GBV).
Ramaphosa said that "we should honour and remember all those who have succumbed to this disease", referring to COVID-19, and then went on to highlight that South Africans continue to lose their lives to GBV too. In recognition of this, the president and his cabinet have called for a week of national mourning from Nov. 25 until Nov. 29 for the lives lost to both issues.
"It will be appropriate that during the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children — which is the second pandemic we are confronting — we demonstrate our remembrance of all those who have departed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and gender-based violence," said Ramaphosa.
The period of mourning will be treated similarly to a state funeral. The national flag will fly at half-mast from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. every day, and citizens are encouraged to wear a black arm band or black clothing in order to show solidarity.
"Many of us have had to bid farewell to a loved one, a friend, or a colleague," Ramaphosa continued. "As we look back on a year of much pain and sorrow, it is important as a nation that we should honour and remember all those who have succumbed to this disease."
Although the rate of mortality from COVID-19 remains relatively low in South Africa, over 20,000 people have died from the virus and Ramaphosa has called on the nation to remember them.
"We cannot begin to calculate the loss and anguish that these deaths have caused," he said.
Earlier this year Ramaphosa addressed the increased rate of femicide and gender-based violence seen during the lockdown period, where the month of June alone saw the reported deaths of at least 21 women from intimate partner violence.
"At a time when the pandemic has left us all feeling vulnerable and uncertain, violence is being unleashed on women and children with a brutality that defies comprehension," he said.
"Their killers thought they could silence them," he continued. "But we will not forget them and we will speak for them where they cannot. They are not just statistics. They have names and they had families and friends."
Parliament is still in discussions to finalise the new laws that were proposed earlier this year to help bring justice to the victims of GBV and are set to announce any changes before the end of the year.
Launched in April by seven global partners, the ACT-Accelerator is a unique coalition aimed at accelerating global efforts against the COVID-19 pandemic. Its members are working together to develop tests, treatments, and vaccines as quickly as possible, while also strengthening the world's most fragile health systems.
But the organization desperately needs financial support from governments around the world. You can join us in calling on world leaders to fund the ACT-Accelerator by taking action here.

FIFA defends VAR results at Women's World Cup – ESPN

PARIS — Amid criticism that video assistant referee technology is affecting the product on the field in the Women's World Cup, FIFA spent the day before the start of the quarterfinals arguing that the system is working as well as it did last year during the men's tournament in Russia.
Chairman of the FIFA refereeing committee Pierluigi Collina led a panel Wednesday that spoke to the media for more than an hour to defend the use of VAR.
"Compared to Russia last summer," Collina said, "Honestly, I don't see the difference."
After first using VAR in a World Cup last summer, FIFA announced this spring that it would also use the technology for the women's tournament this summer. No other competition in women's soccer uses VAR.
According to Collina, the on-field referees involved in France this summer participated in at least four seminars and 55 hours of practical and simulator training related to the use of VAR. Most of the 15 VAR officials also filled those roles in last year's World Cup.
In 44 matches entering the quarterfinals of this tournament, there have been 29 official reviews and 25 decisions changed after review.
There were only 20 reviews and 17 decisions changed after review in 64 matches during last year's World Cup.

Collina conceded the increase but made the case that the number of VAR reviews in the current tournament is in line with other FIFA events going on this summer, including the Under-20 World Cup and Copa America. In the U-20 World Cup, for instance, there were 30 reviews and 26 decisions changed after review in 52 matches.
Expressing general surprise at the degree of controversy surrounding officiating in the tournament, Collina pointed to confusion about rule changes implemented at the beginning of the month as the cause. Most in contention is the rule requiring goalkeepers to keep one foot on the goal line until a player taking a penalty kick makes contact with the ball.
Strict enforcement of the rule through video replay played high-profile and controversial roles in France's 1-0 win against Nigeria and Argentina's 3-3 draw with Scotland.
He acknowledged FIFA could have done more to communicate the changes with the public.
"Maybe we should have spoken before, trying to clarify some aspects," Collina said. "Because I'm sure if we continue to play some clips and explain what is going on, certainly it will be more understood. … It might be possible that it was our fault because we were not clear."
The overall tone of the briefing suggested FIFA sees few issues with its refereeing product. Collina and others on the panel downplayed concerns about long delays and suggestions that the presence of review might make referees hesitant or damage the essence the sport.
"Using common sense is something good when using common sense doesn't affect the interests of someone else," Collina said. "If I use common sense with you, but my common sense creates a problem, damage to someone else, I cannot use common sense. I need to enforce the laws of the game. This is what we want, to have the laws of the game enforced."
In reference to the controversial game between England and Cameroon on June 23, Collina said England's opening goal — which marked the first of several contentious decisions, including a disallowed Cameroonian equalizer — was not subject to on-field review because it involved a question of whether or not an English player was offside.
Collina then addressed allegations that VAR favors European teams at the expense of African, Asian and South American teams.
"Honestly for us, there are six continents," Collina said. "All the teams coming from the six continents, for us, are important, for us are deserving of our maximum attention. And then everyone is free to complain if they wish. What is important is to complain based on facts. If there are no facts, then I have nothing to say."
Collina also announced that German referee Bibiana Steinhaus will not continue because of an injury sustained during a match. Given her overall positive reputation, and specifically her experience with VAR while refereeing in Germany's Bundesliga, her absence is one more blow to the public perception that led to Wednesday's briefing in the first place.

Former Black Caucus Official: 'America Has Never Been Great'
August 17, 2018 Kaylee McGhee 0
'Nobody wants to go work for a racist!…'
Angela Rye
(Kaylee McGhee, Liberty Headlines) A CNN political commentator berated a Trump supporter during a segment for defending President Trump, yelling "America has never been great."
Angela Rye, the former executive director of the Congressional Black Caucus, repeatedly interrupted Gina Loudon, a vocal Trump supporter, claiming Trump harbors racist views.
She pointed out that few minorities work in the White House.
"I'm telling you that it's a problem in this White House with the staff and the reason why it's slim pickings, you know why?" she asked. "Because nobody wants to go work for a racist!"
Rye continued, saying that not a "single black person" works in the White House.
"And don't you dare say to me Ben Carson, because he doesn't work there," she said. "And how dare his gifted hands, who's a brain surgeon, and who has never done anything on a construction project, become the secretary of Housing and Urban Development!"
Rye generated conversation back in 2016 when she rolled her eyes at another host during a CNN panel at the Republican National Convention.
In an interview with Trevor Noah in January, Rye said she was just expressing what everyone was feeling.
"Normalizing the crazy, normalizing the bigotry, normalizing the xenophobia, normalizing the racism, that's not okay," Rye told Noah.
She said that Jemele Hill, an ESPN contributor, got in trouble for "stating the obvious — that Donald Trump is a racist."
During the CNN interview, Loudon said Rye was forcing a false narrative and ignoring positive accomplishments like low unemployment rate for African-Americans.
Loudon compared her comments to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who recently said "American has never been great."
Rye interrupted again: "But American never has been great!" she said. "And it's not great because people like you come on and lie for the president of the United States. You ought to be completely ashamed of yourself."

ANKARA, Sept. 27 (Xinhua) -- Turkey on Wednesday unveiled its new 2018-2020 economic program, including a series of ambitious targets in growth, jobs, inflation Española Copa Mundial Camiseta , and national income per capita.
Speaking at a news conference, Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek announced the Medium Term Program (MTP), with the main objective including obtaining sustainable growth performance by maintaining macro-economic stability, raising the quality of human sources and the labor force, and improving the business and investment environment.

History of Toledo
Toledo was among the larger parts that were controlled by the Wyandot and individuals from the Council of Three Fires which are historic tribes. In early 1680, the Frenchmen introduced trading spots in the region by taking advantage of the fur trade which was lucrative. It is also at this time when the Odawa moved from the Mountain Island and the Bruce Peninsula after an invitation from the French. There was a bustling trading point introduced by the French at Fort Detroit which is almost 6o miles towards the north. These visitors settled on an area that extended towards the northwest part of Ohio.
As of the 18 th century, there were many Odawa citizens living on the shores of River Maumee. These inhabitants were considered middlemen between the tribes that were on the north and west and the French. Central Ohio was occupied by the Wyandot while the Lenape and Shawnee occupied areas on the south side of Ohio.

THE HIDDEN MESSAGES OF ARIA BY GUCCI
On the occasion of the presentation of the new "Aria" collection, Gucci gave us an official taste of what we can define as a "hacking" experience with Balenciaga. It was a completely unexpected union and so unthinkable that no one could believe it, yet it happened. However, we cannot help but consider some factors that better explain the context and motivation of this choice.
The first is that this year the Florentine Maison is celebrating its centenary. This glorious event will accompany us in the coming months with as many as one hundred and fifty related initiatives. On the other hand, the second falls on the shared belonging of the two brands to the Kering group, an added value that is probably more linked to the entrepreneurial sphere. Finally, the third, the one that in all probability proves to be the most significant: Alessandro Michele and Demna Gvasalia, they want to rewrite the canons of beauty and glamor in the name of individuality and freedom of expression.
Michele himself, in his show notes, defined the collection as «a profound and ecstatic dive into all that we miss most today». However, to better understand the individual themes of the collection, a few points must be analyzed.
1. The union of Gucci and Balenciaga. For the 100th anniversary of the brand, Alessandro Michele has "hacked" the aesthetics of Demna Gvasalia. A series of looks and accessories that blend Balenciaga's silhouettes with classic Gucci fabrics. The most notable items are the Jackie bag by Gucci, and the Hourglass bag by Balenciaga covered with a co-branded of Balenciaga's All-Over Logo Pattern. The same pattern is also replicated on various dresses. The most notable of which is a suit entirely covered in sequins. Demna's influence also extended to the accessories and boots featured in many of the looks.
2. Savoy. The word "Savoy" is perhaps the protagonist of the graphics of the collection. Its origin recalls the Savoy Hotel. It was the luxury hotel in London from the nineteenth century onwards, frequented by Oscar Wilde, Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, the Beatles, and Winston Churchill. At the Savoy, Guccio Gucci worked during his London period, discovering the world of luxury luggage. Later he developed the idea of returning to his homeland and opening a suitcase shop that would later become the Gucci we know. In the 1920s, the hotel-inspired the name of the Savoy Ballroom in New York, an iconic venue that was called "the beating heart of Harlem". It was one of the points of reference for the evolution of swing and jazz culture in America.
3. Horse racing inspiration. Jockey helmets, leather harnesses, whips, and Horsebit details recall the world of horse racing. An apparent reference to the origins of the brand, born initially as luggage and saddlery. This visual appeal, so deeply linked to the history of the brand, is also underlined by the presence of real horses in the final scenes of the fashion film. But it is not the only reference to the brand's past. The famous Flora print dating back to the 1960s also returns and covers an entire female suit, including socks and shoes.
4. Modern songs and party dress. It is perhaps the first time that the brand has used such a modern soundtrack for a show. The reason was to evoke the idea of a party in the double meaning of ceremony and celebration, in honor of the brand's birthday. The brand used a series of trap and hip-hop songs that mentioned Gucci in their lyrics as the soundtrack of the fashion film. The first look appeared on the notes of Gucci Gang by Lil Pump, Gucci Flip-Flops by Bhad Babie, Green Gucci Suit by Rick Ross and Future, Gucci On My Bag by Mier. But also Gucci Coochie by Die Antwoord and Waiting For The Stars by Vitalic, feat. David Shaw and The Beat.
5. The heart-shaped bags. We already knew that bags would be among the protagonists of the collection. Without a doubt, the most notable was the one in the shape of an anatomical heart and covered with sequins.
Alessandro Michele starts from here, where it all began, even before the act of birth took place. He, therefore, starts from a mysterious and fascinating place, not a hotel but a club, the Savoy Club. Inside a tunnel illuminated by neon lights and flashes worthy of a red carpet, there is a parade of the classic ones they have not seen for a while.

Today, we bring you the second installment of our 10-part Power Woman series profiling the 50 most influential women in San Diego commercial real estate. Then join Bisnow and partner Allen Matkins on June 25 for a cocktail awards reception to honor these amazing leaders at the San Deigo Public Library, 6-8pm.
LAURIE SNEVE, CHIEF ACCOUNTING OFFICER, RETAIL OPPORTUNITY INVESTMENT CORP
Laurie Sneve oversees accounting for the growing Retail Opportunity Investment Corp, which has acquired 24 shopping centers since she joined the firm in late 2012. Yet as a student at Penn State, she couldn't decide on a major until her father recommended she go into business and accounting. Her career began at Arthur Andersen in Philadelphia before she transferred to its San Diego office. In 1988, she was hired as an internal auditor for The Hahn Co, where she found her shopping center niche. That was followed by 11 years at Pan Pacific Retail Properties, which grew to 140 centers and went public during her tenure. Her former boss, Stuart Tanz (CEO of ROIC), soon came calling—he was launching ROIC in NY and wanted former Pan Pacific colleagues to join him when he moved the company HQ to San Diego. Memorable moments: Getting to ring the bell at both exchanges, first at the NYSE in 2003 when Pan Pacific acquired its second publicly traded REIT; and then this past fall at NASDAQ for ROIC. The Pennsylvania native has a passion for sports, naturally rooting for the Steelers, Pirates and (through marriage) the Mariners.
WENDY LANAHAN, DIRECTOR OF REAL ESTATE, QUALCOMM
Wendy Lanahan (pictured with her grandson) is responsible for Qualcomm's 7M SF real estate portfolio in North America. She tells us her favorite deal over the past few years was when the firm purchased a 543k SF campus of buildings in San Diego, a complex transaction on a scale the firm hadn't completed before. The Baltimore native moved to San Diego in the late '90s, where she accepted a financial analyst position with Qualcomm. For 13 years, she oversaw the company's finances, including facilities and real estate. That led to her interest in real estate, and after shadowing her former boss to learn the art of negotiation, she transitioned to her current role. Her advice: "If you aren't naturally confident, fake it and it will become a habit. It only takes a few successes to get you over the hump." Outside of work, Wendy loves to travel; one of her sons lives in Taiwan, which has brought her to places like Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau and Japan. She's also an avid cook and will eat just about every type of food.
KAREN BURGES, EXEC DIRECTOR, NAIOP SAN DIEGO
NAIOP San Diego exec director Karen Burges has grown the chapter from 50 members to more than 600 in her 26 years with the group. Born in NYC, she moved to S.F. at age 13 and eventually migrated south to attend USD and begin her career as project coordinator for a small commercial real estate developer. Karen has done work garnering strong and ongoing support for the US Marine Corps 1st Marines Special Operations Battalion through NAIOP's "Adopt a Battalion" campaign, which provides assistance to Marines and their families in San Diego's Camp Pendleton, as well as growing the Developing Leader program. Her advice: "Achievement equals happiness. Set your goals and go for it." When Karen isn't too busy setting her goals you can find her chasing her 3-year-old daughter and planning trips around the Kona Coast of Hawaii, where she loves to travel with her husband and family.
CARRIE BOBB, BROKER, CBRE
CBRE's Carrie Bobb tells us one of her recent successes was helping pre-lease much of The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch, a 150k SF mixed-use project that already is stacked with retailers—including Trader Joe's, Starbucks, Pure Barre, Urban Girl, Dolce and others—months ahead of the official grand opening last year. The daughter of a Phoenix physician, Carrie grew up inspired by the medical office brokers who worked with her father. In 2003, when she was offered a position with CBRE's WHEEL program—where young brokers are given a taste of various positions within the firm—she took it, intending to focus on MOB. "The first opening was in retail, so I took it," Carrie recalls. "Once I started in retail, I never left." Carrie, here with her 2-year-old daughter Charley and twin nine-month-old boys, Johnny and Jack, says her idea of free time and hobbies has greatly changed: They now include feeding the ducks, tea parties, picnics and reading bedtime stories. Carrie's advice: always remain calm under pressure. "This business can be really emotional and personal. Being steady, persistent and consistent is crucial," she says.
CYBELE L. THOMPSON, DIRECTOR OF REAL ESTATE ASSETS, CITY OF SAN DIEGO
Since starting with the City of San Diego as director of real estate assets in late 2014, Cybele L. Thompson has completed the purchase of Civic Center Plaza, an extension of the Belmont Park long-term lease, and a new food and beverage concessions agreement at Qualcomm Stadium. "It's been very rewarding to work on large, high-profile projects that I would have never seen on the private side." She began as a hotel real estate appraiser for Laventhol & Horwath, but after graduating in 1989, the hotel industry was "in the tank" and she quickly gravitated to office building appraisals. Her advice: Take a job you love and make sure to network. Outside work, she's busy running half-marathons, competing in skeet competitions and scuba diving.

REPORT: Large majority of RNC members back Ronna McDaniel
Dec. 6, 2022 1:38 pm by The Right Scoop
It appears that Ronna McDaniel has enough backing to become the RNC Chair.
According to a letter sent to McDaniel yesterday, 107 members of the RNC are supporting her for reelection.
There are 168 total who will be voting in January at their winter meeting.
More than 100 RNC members — of the full 168 who will select the party's leader — signed a letter to current Chair Ronna McDaniel on Monday saying they support her reelection bid.
Here's who said they're sticking with her:https://t.co/uh4CUJ0PGY
— Spencer Brown (@itsSpencerBrown) December 6, 2022
This is not a good sign for the challengers.
Now Lee Zeldin hasn't officially announced his candidacy and he won't until tomorrow morning. He's intentionally waiting until after voting in the Georgia election is complete.
I don't know if his potential announcement will peel any votes away from McDaniel or not. If he can't then there's no way he can win. She clearly has more than enough votes to win and these members were serious enough about supporting her to put it in writing.
President Trump responds to having his Facebook and Instagram accounts reinstated


This is my entry for now.
Il'l post more later on.
Does it have to be a fantage recolor?
i just started working on mah first eva recolor hope it goes well!
It means that your recolor needs to have something rainbow in it.
Uhmm... Is 4 recolors okay?
3 of them since people are putting up multiples.

Guard Action Delayed by Organization Glitches
By DANIEL M. WEINTRAUB
SACRAMENTO —
The first 2,000 National Guard troops Gov. Pete Wilson sent to help quell the Los Angeles riots were idled in their barracks for much of Thursday by a communications breakdown and a shortage of ammunition, Wilson said.
Midway through the day, Wilson said, he ordered the guard to deploy its units without waiting for more ammunition. He said every unit was sent out with bullets for soldiers to use as needed.
The extra ammunition was supposed to come from Camp Roberts Military Reservation in San Luis Obispo County but was delayed, apparently, because no one gave the order for the shipment to move with the troops.
"This ammunition problem should not have occurred," Wilson said. "It will not again."
Wilson first ordered the guard to activate 2,000 reserve soldiers at about 9 p.m. Wednesday. Units began massing at 13 armories throughout Southern California before dawn Thursday.
But as the day wore on, and the looting and violence continued, residents began questioning why the troops had not been deployed to the streets. Administration officials said repeatedly that the soldiers were ready to go but served at the pleasure of local law enforcement authorities.
It was not until his 5 p.m. Capitol news conference that Wilson acknowledged that the state was responsible for part of the delay.
According to Wilson and aides who later clarified his statements, the guards stayed in the armories until noon Thursday because local officials did not request that they move into the streets. This delay apparently came because the local authorities and the guard commanders could not agree on where to send the units.
Wilson does not have the authority to order the guard into action without a request from local officials, so at noon, in a conference call with Sheriff Sherman Block and Police Chief Daryl F. Gates, he urged the officials to request the help, said Dan Schnur, a spokesman for the governor.
The request came, but Wilson learned two hours later that the troops had not moved because their commanders believed that they lacked sufficient ammunition.
"I gave the order that they should take the ammunition they had distributed . . . making it available as needed," Wilson said. "The order was then to get them out."
Wilson said he issued that order at about 2 p.m. and reiterated it later "with somewhat greater emphasis."
