Many researchers work on studies for discovering trend keywords and queries on the web, i.e., search frequency and social media. Moreover, studies on trend query classifications are being conducted. However, the behavior of trend queries for various web resources is unclear. In this study, we investigate how trend queries appear in different resources on the web. We clarify the following. (1) Most trend queries are not registered with online dictionary services. (2) The trend converges in approximately two days. (3) Social media websites (such as Twitter) are responsive to trend queries.

State-of-the-Art Alignment Here at Z Best Body & Paint we employ Visualiner's 3D1 digital imaging technology which measures the vehicle's alignment in 3 dimensional space, thereby delivering absolute and accurate data compared to conventional alignment systems. Even though it's simply referred to as an "alignment" or "wheel alignment," it's really a complex measurement of suspension angles and suspension components that are being adjusted. This makes an alignment an important maintenance issue that greatly affects the operation and safety of the car's tires. Out-of-alignment conditions usually are caused by spring sag or suspension wear on older vehicles, however, an impact with a pothole or curb can easily knock your vehicle out-of-alignment. Incorrect alignment will always result in rapid and uneven tire wear. Your vehicle's alignment should be checked whenever new tires or suspension parts are installed and any time uneven tire wear patterns appear. Alignment should also be checked after the vehicle has run into a major road hazard or curb.

A hard-charging lawyer from New England struggles with demands made by her Indian heritage while forever fighting the perception that all dark-skinned people with foreign accents are terrorists, a late forty-something African-American woman just wants to go home to the South, but instead gets caught up in what she perceives is racially-based con game at a local garage (a tale told in the tradition of Ulysses); and a 23 year-old girl from Taiwan (and recent American citizen) happily imagines how her life will turn out, but is stymied on how to go after what she wants, as she contemplates her own experiences with racial injustice.
These three inward journeys, all dealing with racial immigration and integration, appear together under the umbrella title of Three American Women: A Trilogy. Loosely connected with one another, these stories, written by Lori Marra and directed by Vincent Scott, will begin performances on July 13 at the June Havoc Theatre, located at 312 West 36th Street, as part of the Eleventh Annual Midtown International Theatre Festival.
The three individual pieces are entitled "Indian Summer," "Hold Up At The Continental Garage," and "Maid-en Taiwan," and feature Paulina Brahm, Nalini Sharma, Iftiaz Haroon, Antoinette Dailey, James Heaphy,* Masha Mendieta and Jarett Karlsberg. Three American Women is an Equity Showcase.
With writings that cross several genres, including a book of prayers for animals, short stories, poetry, and technical papers, Lori Marra began her career as a playwright in 1999. This year, her full-length play, Mystic Castle, about serial killer Arthur Shawcross, won top honors at Geva Theatre's Regional Writers Showcase Last year, Hold Up At The Continental Garage ran at the American Theatre of Actors and Manhattan Repertory Theatre in NYC. Her work No Smoking premiered at the Guernsey Amateur Dramatic and Operatic Club in the U.K. in 2006 and was seen at the Spokane Civic Theatre in 2007. Rochester's Spotlight Theatre has produced three of her works, including the comedy Indaba. The Italian-American Community Center in Rochester recently named Lori the Italian-American Woman of the Year in the Arts. A member of the Dramatists Guild, her current work Dinosaur Man, centers on an elderly Italian grappling with growing old. For more information, go to www.lorimarra.com.
Vincent Scott most recently directed Two Alone Too Together by Peter Welch at Theatre for the New City. This is his second year at the MITF, having helmed The American Black Box last summer. Other New York directing credits include Hold Up At The Continental Garage (American Theatre of Actors, Manhattan Repertory Theater Festival), A Trip to the Orient, Barbed Wire, Blithe Spirit, Aesop Rocks, Waiting for Lefty, The Dining Room, Dillon, The Wager, Laundry and Bourbon, Line, The Indian Wants The Bronx (the last three at the 13th Street Theatre) and House, an original opera. He has also directed productions for Theater Rapport Company in Los Angeles, the Joan White Theater School in London and Trinity College in Dublin.
Running from July 13th to August 1st, Three American Women will be performed at the June Havoc Theatre, located at 312 West 36th Street (between 8th & 9th Avenues) on the first floor. Show times are: Tuesday, July 13th at 8pm, Friday, July 16th at 5pm, Sunday, July 18th at 2:30pm, Saturday, July 24th at 5pm, Tuesday, July 27th at 6pm, Saturday, July 31st at 8pm and Sunday, August 1st at 3pm. Tickets to all shows are $18.00, $15.00 for students and seniors. Reservations: at 866-811-4111 or www.midtownfestival.org. Running time for Three American Women is 90 minutes.
Paulina Brahm, Nalini Sharma, Iftiaz Haroon, Antoinette Dailey, James Heaphy,* Masha Mendieta, and Jarett Karlsberg. The production is an Equity Showcase.
A lawyer from New England is pressured to by her traditional Indian family to follow the demands of her heritage; a late forty-something African-American woman encounters what she is sure is a racially-based con game at a local garage; and a newly-minted American citizen from Taiwan knows exactly what she wants to happen with her life, but has no real plan to make any of it come true. The stories (all very loosely connected) form a trilogy of tales looking at racial immigration and integration in the United States with the specter of prejudice always present. Part of the Eleventh Annual Midtown International Theatre Festival.
Please note: the theater is wheelchair accessible.
$18.00, $15.00 for students and seniors.

In Palm Springs, Neutra's famed Kaufmann Desert House aims for 5 million
Set on two acres with the San Jacinto Mountains as the backdrop, the Midcentury gem holds five bedrooms and six bathrooms in 3,162 square feet.
(Daniel Solomon)
In Southern California, a select group of homes are so iconic that their names are more recognizable than the stars that inhabit them. The Stahl House in Hollywood Hills. The Gamble House in Pasadena. The Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills.
A few hours outside of L.A. in the resort city of Palm Springs, another property holds this rare distinction: Richard Neutra's Kaufmann Desert House. The legendary home — a Midcentury marvel cemented in history through famous photographs — is up for grabs at 5 million.
Set on more than two acres, the home dates back to 1946, when it was commissioned by department store tycoon Edgar J. Kaufmann — the same man who commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to build the dazzling Fallingwater in rural Pennsylvania.
A year after being finished, the Palm Springs house grew to fame through Julius Shulman's famous black-and-white photograph depicting its sleek exterior with the towering San Jacinto Mountains as the backdrop. A few decades later, it once again made its mark as the setting for Slim Aarons' noteworthy shot known as "Poolside Gossip."
The Kaufmann House has lured a few celebrity owners over the years, including singer Barry Manilow and former Chargers owner Gene Klein. The home itself, not its owners, is the main claim to fame; when The Times surveyed a group of experts in 2008 to crown the best houses of all time in L.A., the Kaufman House made the list despite not even being located in Los Angeles County.
Considered one of the most important Midcentury homes ever built, it recently received a facelift thanks to an intense five-year restoration from Marmol Radziner detailed by Dwell. Today, the low-slung abode holds five bedrooms and six bathrooms across 3,162 square feet.
A stunning concoction of glass, stone and steel, the home is made up of several wings that meet at the center. The floor plan emphasizes indoor-outdoor living, as almost every room opens to a scenic outdoor space.
Highlights include a living room with a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, a lounge with a bar and a spacious wood deck overlooking the property. Outside, a grassy yard surrounds a swimming pool.
If it sells for anywhere close to 5 million, it would be the biggest home sale in Palm Springs history. The current record belongs to the Bob Hope estate, a Modernist masterpiece that sold for 3 million in 2016.
Gerard Bisignano of Vista Sotheby's International Realty holds the listing.

Packing and unpacking can be the most tiresome part of moving. We offer top-notch packing services to reduce the stress of moving. Our packing services are based on the same hourly rates as moving plus cost of packing supplies. If you'd like us to do all, or part of your packing and/or unpacking, please let us know well in advance, since there is a high demand for our packing crews.
We use only the safest, sturdiest space-saving and cost-effective packing materials available to protect your goods. You'll see that using our professional packing services is not only the most stress-free way to go—it's also affordable and reliable.
Should you hire a full service crew? This is a decision you need to make based on time versus cost. A packing service could add a couple hundred dollars to your moving budget. However, if you need to take two weeks off of work in order to get the house packed and organized, it may be worth the price. Most of the time, we can pack your home in one day. This saves not only time, but the hassle of living with -and out of- boxes.
If you are on a budget or you want to lower the cost of your move, we offer packing of specialty items, particularly fragile only: kitchen, artwork, mirrors or other breakables or valuables.
In case you have to move out in one day, but are not able to move into your new residence until the next day, we offer low cost Overnight On-Truck Storage. The truck remains locked and stationary in our digitally monitored parking lot. Once you get your keys, your possessions will be safely delivered to your new apartment or home.
4 Seasons moving provides temperature-controlled storage for up to 6 months. Storage rates vary based on the size of your inventory and the season. We are also happy to place your goods in a storage facility of your choice.

Q: ¿como puedo quitar el slug # de mi pagina de Wordpress? no encuentro la manera de poder quitar los slug #servicios y #contacto de mi pagina web.
www.teksolutions.mx
Tengo instalado un tema en mi sitio web.

A: Veo que estás utilizando esos slug a modo de anchor, para que la página se desplace automáticamente al bloque con la ID indicada despues del #
En el caso de querer quitar los enlaces anchor perderás esta funcionalidad por lo que la página dejará de desplazarse a no ser que programes un código para realizarlo de forma silenciosa.
Si se quiere quitar se debería modificar el enlace con #, en el caso de servicios veo que tienes el slider principal con un botón que lleva a #servicios, sería modificar ese enlace para eliminarlo.
Espero que te haya ayudado

Come on. That song was running through your head too when you read the title of this post. Right?
It's May 29 Just shy of 6 months into this amazing year. 2013, where have you been all my life?
I'm telling you. This has been absolutely life-changing.
It started with my counsellor Suzie, who I should probably get in touch with. She told me in the fall to start keeping a diary of sorts of the top-five best things that happen to me every single day. Even if all it said five times was "I'm breathing today". Write it down, she said. So I started to write. And somedays, five just aint enough, baby.
Then Linds gave me a book for a belated birthday present. It's called One Thousand Gifts (surprise surprise). It pushed me even farther. I thought that if I can easily (most days, not all) come up with five things every single day, then why not one thousand for the whole year?
I was sitting in Starbucks having some much-needed me time. I thought about asking the barista for a paper and pen, because once the idea hit me I was anxious to start to writing my list. But then I took out my trusty old iPhone. I use my "notes" app often for grocery stuff and to-do items and lists of baby names , so it made sense to also start a Gifts list. And that's exactly what I did. My list started off slowly with some mention about a Christmas tree and my parents. But then it started to grow and change and become this thing with which I can't go through a single day without acknowledging. It's so awesome.
I love my list. I read it all the time. Sometimes, though not often, I share things on that list as a way to encourage other people.
I am more thankful, more aware of small things, more open to seeing trying times as a way to find beauty in brokenness. I am whole-er than I was 6 months ago.
I've contemplated sharing all 500 (so far) things with you guys. But that would take up a lot of "space" in this funny, mind-blowing place we call the 'net. Maybe closer to the end of this year I will share some with you.
If I could encourage you to start a list too, you might also like it a lot.
When bad things happen in this life, it's so easy to focus on the negative and the feeling of hopelessness is extremely overwhelming, isn't it? But when tragedies hit, I like to remember the motto, "Look for the helpers". There IS goodness and beauty left in this world. We just need to pray that our eyes are opened to it.

London Fashion Week 2019 – Sustainability, street style and sartorial excellence
September 19, 2019 /Posted byBags of Ethics
It was the seventh year that Bags of EthicsTM has collaborated with London Fashion Week, producing the official eco-friendly, ethical and sustainably made totes and merchandise for this iconic event. This year the official totes were black 14oz bags in a medium to heavy weight canvas, in a classic portrait tote shape. The canvas was dyed to pantone using dyeing houses which are certified by the Environmental Board in India so that the inks are not a pollutant that could potentially harm waterways and do not contain any toxic effluents. The print featured on the tote, which is made up of the letters LFW, was inspired by the hairstyles that featured on the catwalk of Burberry's AW/19 show. This catwalk show was by Riccardo Tisci, who named his second collection for Burberry "Tempest", and featured a hairstyle made up of ornate curls carefully positioned across the models' forehead. This ornate, almost Victorian-esque curl is what inspired the equally ornate lettering on this year's London Fashion Week tote. This iconic print is printed edge-to-edge across the front of the bag, which makes the repeat logo almost like a printed pattern itself. The design is printed using white, non-toxic, REACH compliant inks. The bag also features the infamous Bags of EthicsTM green logo, which represents the ethical and sustainable practices that go into making each and every bag that features this label. All of the London Fashion Week bags were made in our ethical factory in Pondicherry, south India, by a team that is made up of 90% women, who are all paid fairly, and valued for their amazing work. Many of these women are the main breadwinners for their families, and are pillars of their communities.
We had the pleasure of attending a variety of different shows across the 5 day fashion extravaganza, and loved seeing next season's catwalk styles, as well as the innovative looks that other attendees were sporting. As the producers of the official tote bags, we of course also had to make sure that we looked out for those rocking these limited edition totes at the event.
On Friday 13th September, London Fashion Week was kick-started with the breakfast launch that Smruti Sriram, CEO of Supreme Creations/ Bags of Ethics attended along with the board and patrons of British Fashion Council (BFC), LFW designers, press, and sponsors to kick off the event. We were treated to speeches by Stephanie Phair, Chair of the BFC, Caroline Rush CEO of the BFC and Adwoa Aboah, who talked about new programmes and the current fashion climate. There was a strong focus on Brexit and the support that is needed for designers and the fashion industry to help with its stability, and also new initiatives including the Institute of Positive Fashion, the Future Leaders Programme with London Business School and the Mentoring programme for young talent to enter the fashion industry.
On Friday evening several members of our team attended the Matty Bovan catwalk show. Bovan's designs were innovative and unique, with a mixture of patterns, prints, colours and materials which resulted in an eclectic and unusual collection. Later in the evening we also attended a show by Marta Jakubowski, whose signature aesthetic is a minimalist style, and her collection featured block colours and monochrome tones. She has evoked endorsement from the likes of Beyoncé and Rihanna, and we can see why. On Tuesday 17th September we also attended the Bobby Abley show. This catwalk extravaganza was based upon the Wizard of Oz, and featured a rainbow of colours, exciting prints and gorgeous fabrics. Highlights of this collection were the mixing of animal prints, the use of contrasting block colours such as yellow and red, and a Dorothy inspired rainbow dress crafted entirely from coloured feathers. These shows have given us design inspiration in bucket loads, and have given us an insight into the trends for next season – a key colourway that we think is going to be a big hit in the upcoming season is ruby red, and emerald green jewel-like tones.
We also attended the British Fashion Council's Positive Fashion exhibition – a curated collection of up-and-coming designers and brands that celebrate sustainability, equality and diversity. We me with the lovely Zanna Van Dijk and Natalie Glaze, the co-owners of Stay Wild Swim, a fledgling sustainable swimwear brand that produce unique swimwear pieces made from recycled ocean plastic. These two young women took the fashion world by storm during their time at this exhibition, and represented the fashion industries growing involvement in sustainability. We also met with, and interviewed Erika Maish, a designer intent on changing the way we shop, buy, and wear our clothes. Her pieces are made from recycled bottle caps, and can be interchanged and reshaped to create different sized garments and different individual pieces. Erika states that her interest in sustainable fashion comes from wanting 'her children to be able to see the coral reef', and want's her work to help benefit the planet.
As well as meeting some fabulous designers, we also met a multitude of exquisitely dressed guests, many of whom were extremely obliging, and helped to model some of our favourite tote designs. Whilst we were attending the Matty Bovan show on Friday, we saw the ever elegant Anna Wintour, a true fashion icon, and editor in chief of American Vogue, and also got the chance to speak to Caroline Rush, the CEO of the British Fashion Council who is an incredible business woman that we feel blessed to have the support from as a business.
We loved seeing so many people rocking the limited edition London Fashion Week tote, which was given as a goodie bag to VIP guests, and contained snacks from Candy Kittens and Lara Bar, so many gorgeous beauty bits including a white mark-free deodorant from our client Nivea, and even a face mask from one of our amazing clients Seoulista Beauty. Whilst photographing some of the amazing street style that fashion week had to offer, we connected with many individuals who are doing wonderful things in the fashion space.
Fashion Week is about the drama, it is about the glamour, and it is about the celebration of fashion as an art form, but this year it was also about making sure that we don't let the clothes that we choose to put on our bodies have an adverse effect on the world in which we live. This is something that we as a company care so deeply about, and is something that we feel equally proud to be a part of. If you are interested in or work in the field of fashion or sustainability, and would like to write a guest blog for us please do reach out on info@bagsofethics.org.

Hegen Mum of the Month – January 2021
hegenmotm
It's a brand new year, and for many of us, we're hoping for a fresh start – cliché as it might seem. Who can blame us, when the events of 2020 are still casting a long shadow on us? For our January Mum of the Month, Joyce Lim – also a beloved colleague at Hegen – her story of an unplanned pregnancy that ended with a happy family is exactly the feel-goodness we need to start 2021 on an inspiring note.
TOTALLY UNPREPARED FOR JUNIOR
Joyce had been dating Jack for about a year when she discovered that she was pregnant. "I had gone to get myself checked at SGH, thinking that I had food poisoning," she recalled. Turned out, it was baby Jade, making her presence felt!
Her doctor described the pregnancy as a spontaneous one – meaning that the conception happened despite unlikely conditions for fertilisation. "I was not in best of health or shape at that point in time," Joyce admitted, surprised at the occurrence.
To make matters worse, Jack's granny passed away soon after they found out about the pregnancy. "Chinese customs dictate that if a couple is not able to tie the knot within a hundred days of the funeral, they'd have to wait three years," explained Joyce. Obviously, she and Jack didn't want to wait that long. "So, we rushed a wedding and got married in less than three months."
It's not necessarily the dream wedding that most brides would envision, but to the happy couple, it was all worth it!
BABY IN THE TIME OF COVID
As Joyce is a Malaysian living and working in Singapore, getting things organised during the months of COVID-19 took some doing. "Emotionally, I was not in any way prepared for a child," confessed Joyce. "Covid made things even messier – hospital visits were scary and I had to deal with my elderly in-laws who wanted to go out despite being the ones most vulnerable to the virus!"
As she was not in tip-top condition mentally and physically, she experienced a lot of vomiting and back pains, to the extent that she was put on bed rest for two to three weeks. She also had to change her birth plans and even the country where she was to deliver her baby!
"I had initially planned to 'pop' in Malaysia. It made sense as I have my support system there," Joyce explained. "But when they announced the first MCO (Movement Control Order), I rushed down to Singapore so that Jack could be part of the birth. It was a 14-hour drive!"
This plucky Mummy was planning to head back to Malaysia after the birth but never managed to leave Singapore due to the COVID-19 situation and border closures. "I had to do everything twice; from looking for a confinement nanny to buying all my baby equipment and supplies again online in Singapore," moaned Joyce who had already purchased everything she needed in Malaysia. "And not having my mum around to support and assist me in this new experience… it was a lot to take in."
THE HEGEN DIFFERENCE
After her 12-hour labour (in a mask, no less!), baby Jade was safely born but Joyce started having troubles with the pump and bottles. "My baby still doesn't take to the feeding bottle," she declared. "So, I just use the Hegen pump and storage bottles to maintain my flow."
It was the customer experience and Hegen Mums Telegram group that made a difference to Joyce and baby Jade. "Jade had jaundice so I couldn't bring her home and pumping at home without baby was a nightmare!" she groused. "I had such bad engorgement and was pumping with the wrong size, too hard, too strong and too fast. I was doing everything wrong. But had no idea."
The new mum suffered a few nights of hand expressing and in desperation reached out to the Telegram group at 3am, and a fellow mummy answered her call for help. "It was the most relief I've ever felt and I think I cried with gratitude," laughed Joyce. Though the mum offered flanges and whatnot, it was the fact that she answered and had advice that made Joyce so thankful.
The next day, a Hegen staffer reached out and assisted her with choosing the right adapter for the new sized flanges she had to buy, and all was well. But for a first-time mama during lockdown who didn't have her own mother to give comfort and guidance during her early days, the Hegen community helped to make a difference to her mental well-being.
That is why Joyce's advice for mummies who find themselves alone and struggling during their mothering journey is to have at least one outlet to reach out to. "Cry it out and share your feelings," she implored. "And join the Hegen Mums Telegram group! It's so different from all the other forums out there. 2020 has been such an especially tough year for new mums, but if we stay connected and positive, we can support each other through it all!"

Day 164 12/6/13: Taking A Walk in Los Angeles
December 7, 2013 by kinfauns2	in Literature, Los Angeles, Meditation, Shark Conservation, Teaching, Writing	| 3 Comments
Now that my shark class is winding down, now that we've discussed the threat of overfishing and the horrors of finning, now that we've explicated "The Shark" by Mary Oliver and written about how power pivots on the ability to speak, now that we've learned about the wondrous diversity of sharks, their hidden traditions (intrauterine cannibalism) and their supernatural senses, I've rounded out the semester with readings about the importance of awareness (David Foster Wallace's brilliant Kenyon Commencement Address) and action (Derrick Jensen's Loaded Words: Writing as a Combat Discipline).
I am hoping to plant seeds—something that might take root and grow beyond the boundaries of the classroom. Don't forget about the natural world. Be present. Get out of yourself. Try to be of service.
I thought I had better follow my own advice and go walking in Los Angeles on an afternoon at the end of the year. The light looked almost stormy streaming from robust clouds, random in its distribution of illumination and shadow. I decided to walk toward a less-traveled neighborhood, near the newly converted Kadampa Meditation Center where I went to meditate the other night, remembering once how I'd almost rented an apartment near there in an old Spanish building with a ship for a weathervane, hallways full of antiques, and, the landlord revealed with a degree of pride, a ghost.
It's so interesting that the same street can live multiple lives in the same city—Palmerston, Alexandria, Kenmore—to walk these streets north of Franklin is a different world than their southern extremities. I paused at the Kadampa Center; the formerly Christian church where the burning thorn pierced heart in the stained glass window has been replaced with a lotus flower, and then headed north on Palmerston. I love to look at architecture in Los Angeles. I love the curving, quiet streets where houses can't make up their minds, yet the incongruities are somehow awkwardly resolved—the Spanish roof sheltering a porch of Corinthian columns. The green shingled house with the curving storybook path. My head felt like a camera that pans, reveals. All I wanted was to walk deeper into a place I did not know, past rambling brick houses with dark Tudor windows whose solemnity is relieved by the reflection of manicured grass.
Climbing a hill, I noticed Christmas lights emitting a steady, secret glow from a blasé hedge while above, on an overhead branch, a Halloween skeleton floated in the breeze—clearly articulated "life-like" skull, skinny mummy arms, and a body that ended abruptly in streaming burlap rags. The arms were wide and fleshless palms open. I'd seen pictures of Jesus in that same attitude of supplication. This skeleton, streaming like a flag in the sudden breeze, naked skull limned with golden light, appeared to be preaching, perhaps to the rosebushes.
I love California, but my early Northeastern life has structured and nurtured my deepest responses to nature. I find myself always drawn to those houses shrouded in tall, green trees because they remind me of the places (once real now memory) that I am afraid to return to, fearing that great undertow of memory will sweep me out to sea. Today I found one such place. The green trees (tall, tall-evergreen and deciduous) seemed less brooding than expectant. When I peered over the curved iron gate, I noticed a half-hidden house. A modest pale green turret with narrow windows, felt monastic, regal and I flashed on the uneven shards of colored glass on the cover of the St. Patrick's missalette I left on an empty pew a thousand Christmas Eves ago.
But I couldn't feel sad. I had no need for remembering when everything felt so generous and alive, the trees rising up from the ground dotted with eyeholes, and the sudden blue and white of a house like a bright postcard from Santorini. I thought: Everything keeps changing shape—the streets curve, the houses assume their forms and postures, the tree roots declare themselves busting through the concrete. The memories of all the places that we can never return to, grow like living things in the body, their roofs push at the ribs, their fields unfold, erasing thought.
I kept waiting for the spell to break. Surely all would dissolve into quotidian reality as the light changed. Yet even as I headed back toward Franklin, past all the apartments and vintage stores turned invisible from being endlessly seen, even as I cursed the errant plastic bag skittering across Vermont Avenue, there by the 7-11, in the rounded nest-shaped bush next to the bus stop, a dozen or more little brown and white birds popped out of the hollows between the branches, all chattering at once, all looking at me. Don't just survive here, the birds told me sing, sing.

The West wants to orchestrate 'little war' in Ukraine to destroy Russia
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov believes that Western countries want to arrange a "little war" in Ukraine and blame Moscow for it. Having orchestrated a war in Ukraine, they will hold Russia accountable for it to subsequently deprive the country of its competitive opportunities, the minister said on the air of Soloviev Live YouTube channel.
"It is outrageous to propagate the position that the West and NATO now take. They are encouraged by the Balts, the Poles and the Ukrainians, it is absolutely obvious … They supply arms to Ukraine, while boasting that since 2014 they have supplied ammunition and attack systems totalling 2.5 billion dollars," Sergei Lavrov said.
Everyone who violates the Minsk armistice agreements in Donbass should blame themselves, he added.
Unprecedented sanctions against Russia unreal
According to Lavrov, the scenario, in which Western countries impose unprecedented sanctions against Russia, looks unreal.
"I am convinced that even if this unreal for me scenario materializes to one degree or another — I am not 100% sure it will materialize — I dare to assure you that we will find an answer," Lavrov said….
According to him, Russia will not become a besieged fortress.
"I am absolutely sure that this is not part of the plans of the Russian administration. President Vladimir Putin constantly translates, including in his recent speeches, his commitment to expanding opportunities for the free development of the society, for democratic principles," the Russian Foreign Minister said.
Russia being part of NATO impossible
Sergei Lavrov also said that Russia's accession to NATO was impossible because the West did not want to have rivals comparable in influence in the international arena.
Answering a question of whether Russia's incorporation into NATO was possible on certain conditions, in particular on an equal and partner basis, the Foreign Minister noted that he did not see such an opportunity.
"I don't see such a situation, because the whole process does not revolve around NATO or the European Union, it revolves around the fact that the West does not want to have any rivals in the international arena that would be comparable in influence," Lavrov explained.
In addition, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov stressed that he had serious doubts about NATO's intention not to ignore Russia's requirements for NATO's non-expansion to the east.
Western countries admit that sanctions against Russia could be tightened considerably in the event of military aggression against Ukraine. Moscow denied accusations of such intent.

At the turn of the 20th century, Australia was an international exemplar of progressive welfare reform. Philanthropists like Janet Lady Clarke built a strong foundation for social welfare; suffragettes like Fanny Finch, Vida Goldstein and Doris Blackburn ardently fought for equality for women.
But the 1902 Commonwealth Franchise Act only granted white Australian women full and universal suffrage. As Clare Wright says in You daughters of freedom, 'This racial qualifier takes a good deal of the gloss off patriotic gloating.'
Learn about the history of social welfare and women's suffrage in Australia, and the work that still needs to be done.
Santilla Chingaipe is an award-winning journalist and filmmaker. Her work explores migration, cultural identities and politics, and she is a member of the federal government's advisory group in Australia–Africa relations. Santilla was recognised at the United Nations as one of the most influential people of African descent in 2019. She reports regularly for The Saturday Paper and her film credits include the landmark SBS documentary, Date my race. Her latest documentary series, Third culture kids, is currently streaming on ABC iView.
Kelly Gardiner was a creative fellow at State Library Victoria in 2017, where she focused on two generations of feminists: during the First World War, and in the 1980s. Her latest children's book is Brimstone, first in The Firewatcher Chronicles. Her novels include 1917, Act of faith, The sultan's eyes, the Swashbuckler trilogy and Goddess. She teaches at La Trobe University.
Celeste Liddle is an Arrernte woman living in Melbourne. She is a union organiser, a social commentator and freelance writer and a noted activist who, in 2017, was inducted into the Victorian Women's Honour Roll. Celeste has a column at Eureka Street and her work has also recently featured at Whimn, ABC and Network 10.
Dr Carolyn Rasmussen's work as a public historian since 1985 has ranged over the history of Victorian public institutions, the labour movement, science and technology, education, and biography.

Ha Nam (VNA) – Efforts made by the northern province of Ha Nam to lure investments have proved effective when the locality has become an attractive destination for both domestic and foreign investors.
In 1997 when Ha Nam province was re-established, the proportion of agriculture accounted for 50 percent of its economic structure, while its socio-economic and urban infrastructure and transport system were underdeveloped. At that time, there were only 40 operating enterprises, paying only 72.4 billion VND (3.1 million USD) to the State budget.
To affirm its determination to improve the business environment, since 2011, Ha Nam has made 10 commitments to investors, including providing sufficient electricity for businesses in industrial zones, ensuring standard clean water supply and waste treatment systems, providing land to build houses for workers, and offering favourable customs procedures.
At present, there are 950 valid projects totaling nearly 200 trillion VND (8.6 billion USD) in the province, of which 288 are invested by foreign investors from nine countries and territories, with a total capital of 3.56 billion USD.
Lee Hwdeuk, Director of Korean-invested KMW Vietnam Ltd, Co., said that leaders of the provincial People's Committee have held regular meetings with businesses to help them promptly solve difficulties.
To attract more projects, Hoang Cao Liem, Director of the provincial Investment Promotion Centre, stated that the province is focusing on completing planning, speeding up the construction of infrastructure in industrial zones and clusters, and regularly updating mechanisms and policies to encourage private investment, especially in hi-tech support industry.
Ha Nam is stepping up the reform of administrative procedures at all levels and diversifying investment promotion methods, Liem said, adding that it is also giving the priority to foreign investors, especially those operating in support industry from Japan and the Republic of Korea.
Additionally, it is attracting investment in hi-tech agriculture, urban infrastructure, trade, tourism, health and education./.

Paris Agreement: Lessons on independence, self-reliance, int'l solidarity
The signing of the Paris Agreement on ending the war and restoring peace in Vietnam on January 27, 1973, was a resounding victory of Vietnam's revolutionary diplomacy in the Ho Chi Minh era, making important contributions to the common victory of the whole nation and, at the same time, leaving invaluable diplomatic lessons.
A survey conducted by the association showed 63% of Japanese enterprises said they would continue investing in operation expansion in the next 1-2 years, reflecting that investors have great expectations for Vietnam's economic growth.

History vs. Myth
Meet Violet Jessop, Survivor of Three Shipwrecks
by Kate Kershner Nov 21, 2017
The sinking of the RMS Titanic on April 14, 1912, painted by German artist Willy Stoewer. Bettmann/ Getty Images
Most of us would feel lucky to have survived one historical maritime disaster. What a lucky person you would be to survive three terrible tragedies at sea!
Okay, that's keeping the glass half full. Some would argue that not being involved in any disaster is a lot luckier. But that would make for a much more boring podcast than this episode of Stuff You Missed In History Class. Tracy V. Wilson and Holly Frey bring you the story of Violet Jessop, a stewardess and nurse in the early 20th century, who — depending on how you see it — either was the luckiest lady to stay afloat at sea or one who probably should've stopped tempting fate by boarding any ocean-going vessel.
Jessop was born in 1887 to Irish parents who had immigrated to Argentina. After the death of her father and a move to Britain, Jessop's mother began working as a stewardess for the Royal Mail Line. After her mother's health failed, Violet decided to begin earning an income for herself and joined up with the shipping line as well. But when Violet applied for a position, she was faced with a daunting atmosphere of sexism in the male-dominated industry. She was told "she was both too young and too pretty," says Holly about Violet's interview with the shipping line, and while she was eventually hired, "her memoirs talk about her just trying to find the most dowdy, grey, unappealing outfits possible," according to Tracy.
While she enjoyed the job for the travel and exploration, it wasn't easy — partly due to the amorous advances of crew and passengers alike. After rebuffing a captain, she was dismissed from the Royal Mail Line and started working on the White Star Line. In 1911, she was on the RMS Olympic when the HMS Hawke smashed into it — luckily, no one was hurt.
Then came Jessop's 1912 voyage on a little boat called the RMS Titanic. It didn't go so well, although Jessop's account of it wasn't panicked. "Her recounting of this part of it sounds almost impossibly calm," says Tracy. "Jessop and her roommate took their passengers to the lifeboats and then with nothing else to do they went back to their cabin." Another crewmember did convince them to go up to the deck again and get on board a lifeboat, from which Jessop watched the mighty ship eventually slip under the water.
But don't think Jessop was done with ships — or shipwrecks. Listen to this episode of Stuff You Missed In History Class to hear Holly and Tracy detail the last — and arguably most horrific — tale of Violet Jessop's many brushes with maritime disaster.
NOW THAT'S INTERESTING
Quick history lesson: While these luxury liners were glamorous, remember that they still weren't used just for pleasure cruising. The passengers were primarily using the ships for transportation across the ocean.

Always a good thing! The only thing that I found a tiny bit off was the landing page I arrived at from the link on Linkrefferal. It didn't feel like a home page... it felt more like I'd stumbled into someone elses search results. I was a bit lost for a few moments. Other than that, a great site! .

As any skilled entrepreneur knows, operating a successful business involves more than just providing quality goods or services. In addition to keeping customers satisfied, the business must also engage in careful tax planning, while simultaneously ensuring compliance with local, state, federal, and potentially international tax laws. Meticulous tax planning is especially critical if the business is expanding, relocating, or changing owners. Failure to plan strategically can expose a business owner to personal liability for unpaid tax bills – and in a worst-case scenario, could even threaten the taxpayer with an audit or criminal investigation.
No matter where your company is headquartered or what types of products and services it provides, efficient business tax planning is essential to avoid costly penalties, mitigate tax losses, and maintain the financial health of your business. At the Tax Law Office of David W. Klasing, our talented team of tax and accounting professionals merges the legal insight of tax attorneys with the financial judgment of CPAs and EAs, enabling us to craft and execute a comprehensive strategy tailored to the unique needs, goals, and challenges facing your business or industry. Whether your tax issue pertains to payroll withholding, employee benefit plans, an upcoming audit, impacts of the recent federal tax reforms, strategies for avoiding double-taxation, or another matter, count on our Oxnard business tax attorneys for reliable, around-the-clock support.
Congratulations on making the exciting decision to launch your own business. One of the first and most important decisions you must make is how the business entity will be "structured," or organized. To use a common example, should your corporation be structured as an S-corporation, which will allow you to avoid double-taxation due to having pass-through entity status, or as a C-corporation, which – despite affording other advantages – will cause you to be taxed at both the entity and individual level? This is merely one example of the myriad ways in which entity selection, and other aspects of business formation, can impact your company's financial future before operations even begin.
Unfortunately for business owners, entity selection is not the only business decision with major tax ramifications. On the contrary, tax laws will directly or indirectly impact virtually every aspect of your day-to-day operations and long-term financial strategies. For example, if you are planning to someday pass the business down to your son or daughter, have you adequately prepared for the estate tax issues which will arise? If you sell the business, will greater tax benefits result from an asset sale or a stock sale? How will your payroll tax obligations change if your workers are classified as employees rather than independent contractors, and how do you classify your workers properly? What tax credits, deductions, and exemptions are available, and how might claiming them impact other aspects of your overall tax strategy?
These are just a few of the many questions business owners should ask themselves when planning for the future. Our experienced tax attorneys can sit down with you to analyze your operational budget, discuss your mission and objectives for the company, and design a tailored plan that advances your goals and adheres to your vision while complying with the law.
Tax planning, though crucial, is merely one component of a successful tax strategy for your business. In order to avoid debilitating financial penalties – as well as damage to your company's public image and reputation – you must also take care to comply with the thousands of complex regulations encapsulated in the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), the California Revenue and Taxation Code (RTC) or your state's equivalent, and other laws and regulations set by state or federal government agencies, such as the employer responsibility laws enforced by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), which have bearing on employee compensation, employee benefit plans, and other employment law issues that overlap with taxation and financial planning.
Among these regulations, some of the most important pertain to employment taxes and payroll taxes, which include federal income taxes, Social Security and Medicare taxes, the Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA), the Additional Medicare Tax, and, for the self-employed, the Self-Employment (SE) Tax. With a few exceptions, such as FUTA, which should never be withheld from your employees' compensation, employers are generally required to withhold, match, and deposit these taxes or be subject to costly penalties, such as failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties. Employers in California must also concern themselves with an array of state payroll taxes, such as State Disability Insurance (SDI) and Unemployment Insurance (UI).
Depending on the nature of the violation and how the entity is structured, the business owner may assume personal liability for unpaid payroll taxes, which could seriously damage the business, potentially to the point of insolvency. Our tax professionals can help you navigate all of the state and federal employment and payroll/FICA tax obligations that affect your business, mitigating penalties while identifying ways to increase efficiency and protect the company's financial health to the greatest extent possible.

Klasing combine decades of experience serving auto dealerships, medical and dental practices, veterinary practices, bars and restaurants, real estate businesses, and many other types of businesses throughout the Oxnard area.

Electric Trolling Motors Market
Electric Trolling Motors Market to Face Sluggish Growth during COVID-19 Pandemic; Penetration of Digital Platforms Set to Create New Opportunities, Predicts Fact.MR
by Team Fact.MR
The global electric trolling motors market is expected to surpass a value of US$ 546 Mn by 2020-end, and expand at a CAGR of 3.2% during the forecast period (2020-2030). The rampant spread of COVID-19 is resulting in declining sales, as a number of anglers are staying indoors, which ultimately impacts the sales of electric trolling motors. To maintain business continuity during this crisis, manufacturers are utilizing digital technologies and engaging customers via online portals. Subsequently, the pandemic has shifted consumer focus towards e-Commerce platforms. Moreover, there are several trolling motor manufacturers who have started providing trolling motors through their websites. This, in turn, will strengthen the demand for electric trolling motors.
Manufacturers are aligning with the current market trends and are focusing on offering anglers with tremendous opportunity to fish effectively. For instance, they are integrating motors with GPS systems, which enables the angler to fish at the same spot the next day. This is anticipated to increase the demand for trolling motors and create ample opportunities for players operating in the electric trolling motors market.

For all my bitching about Portland during the rainy season, coming into the Sun-filled city is truly a delight. All of a sudden you're surrounded by a happier group and the city seems newer, refreshed and revived. I feel like a lot of people outside of the Pacific NW have no idea what Oregon is all about and what our downtown is like - make no mistake, Portland cityscape is wonderful and there's plenty to do.
Besides, how can I be sad it's the weekend!
On the agenda: ♥Charity Banquet tonight (where I donate thousands of dollars dahhhhhhhhhlllinnng- jk) which means dresses, wine and art! Yes! ♥Watching the Blazers proceed in the playoffs like the badasses that they are and ♥Skiing on Mt. Hood again! Can't be too shabby! Oh, and it's Easter which will be a nice family dinner for me but not a whole she-bang.
Portland is awesome. I am so not a big City girl but if I had to move to a city?? Portland would be it, hands down.
& Aldridge (#12) from the Blazers, so my future baby daddy.
Few days back I was watching an old movie(could not recall the name), it was shot in Oregon. I think the place looks awesome.
Anyway, its Good Friday. Have great Easter and a superb weekend, Cheers!!
<3 your city. And all the amazing food there :-) I was there in November...it was rainy when I was there, so I never saw sun, but it was beautiful nonetheless.
Yes, I am now craving a road trip to Portland - awesomeness! Happy, Happy Friday, Caitlin!
yay sounds like a fun weekend Caitlin! glad your city is starting to see the sun!
on my side of the world, i am just wishing it would warm up! 51 degree temps have been the norm this entire month!

Bruce Lockhart
Bruce Lockhart books and biography
R. H. Bruce Lockhart
Sir Robert Hamilton Bruce Lockhart, (2 September 1887 - 27 February 1970), was a journalist, author, secret agent, British diplomat in Moscow and footballer.
Lockhart was born in Anstruther, Fife, Scotland, the son of a preparatory schoolmaster. His mother was a Macgregor, while his other ancestors include Bruces, Hamiltons, Cummings, Wallaces and Douglases. He also claimed he could trace a connection back to Boswell of Auchinleck. He often boasted, "There is no drop of English blood in my veins."
After a brief failed attempt at being a rubber planter in Malaya, he joined the British Foreign Service and was posted to Moscow as Vice-Consul.
At the time of his arrival in Russia, people had heard that a great footballer named Lockhart from Cambridge was arriving, but did not know the difference between Association Football and Rugby Football. He was invited to turn out for Morozov a textile factory team, that played their games 30 miles east of Moscow - the owner of the cotton mill was from Lancashire, England. Lockhart played for most of the 1912 season and won the Moscow league championship that year. The great player however was Robert's brother, John, and through his own omission Robert barely deserved his place in the team and played simply for the love of the sport.
Lockhart was Acting British Consul-General in Moscow when the first Russian Revolution broke out in early 1917, but left shortly before the Bolshevik Revolution of October that year.
He soon returned to Russia at the behest of Prime Minister Lloyd George and Lord Milner as the United Kingdom's first envoy to the Bolsheviks (Russia) in January of 1918 in an attempt to counteract German influence.
Lockhart was asked in March 1918 to persuade the new Soviet government to allow a Japanese army onto Soviet territory to fight Germany on the Eastern Front. He was unsuccessful in this endeavour.
In 1918, Lockhart and fellow British agent, Sidney Reilly, were dramatically implicated in a plot to assassinate Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin. He was accused of plotting against the Bolshevik regime and, for a time during 1918, was confined in the Kremlin as a prisoner and condemned to death. However, his life was spared in an exchange of "secret agents" for the Russian diplomat Maksim Maksimovich Litvinov.
He later wrote about his experiences in his autobiographical book, Memoirs of a British Agent (1934).
Lockhart was also a friend of the renowned occultist, Aleister Crowley.
During World War II, Lockhart became director-general of the Political Warfare Executive, co-ordinating all British propaganda against the enemy. He was also for a time the British liaison officer to the Czechoslovak Government in Exile under President Edvard Benes.
After the war, he resumed his writing career, as well as lecturing and broadcasting, and had a weekly BBC broadcast to Czechoslovakia for over 10 years.
Lockhart died in 1970 at the age of 83, but tales of his adventures in Moscow have recently returned to the public eye when Scottish professional footballer Garry O'Connor, made the move to Russian football club Lokomotiv Moscow in March 2006.

Alegna Soap® and I have lot of left over pieces of soap. It could be soap from the ends of a log, from a new scent/color combination I want to try out, or from a soap demo or class I taught. Sometimes I use the ends as samples, or I tie them up with pretty ribbon and sell them at an event. The soap from classes and demos I give to friends. But I've been thinking. I have an idea and a great cause. I've decided it's time for a "Soap for Soup" fundraiser.
I usually sell my Soap for Soup at $5 for a four ounce bar. I donate that $5 to a local Long Island food pantry. I started Soap for Soup in September of 2015. At the end of December I was able to donate $620 to the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry at St. Martin of Tours parish in Bethpage. This is the organization that helped my friend when she was in need.
I want to raise more money. The winter is cold and I know there are many in need. In the month of February while my supply lasts, use the code sfs2016 and get $1.00 off each bar of Soap for Soap. I'll add in some of my ends, demo or class soap too. Great soap, great cause and great deal. You can't lose.
What a great idea! I love improving lives through SOAP!
I love how you integrate business with charity; it's truly inspiring work! Thank you for taking care of your local community.
Thanks Kristen. I believe I have a responsibility to give back.
What a great idea! Maybe your local news station could do a feature on this to get the word out.
Thanks Donna, that's a great idea!


Many Congratulations to you, mate.
You will remember this Christmas. Your son joins my nephew who was also born on Christmas Eve but 30+ years ago.
Congratulations B2R! Should I say 'Many happy returns'?
Congratulations to the happy parents and their new Son.
My own Birthday was the 23rd!
Congratulations BTR and a Happy New Year to All.
Meant Christmas was spent in Glan Clwyd so no Z** but what a fabulous hospital it is, the midwifes and Doctors could not have been better.
Congratulations on the happy event B2R, but I am sorry to hear about the ''tragedy'' that befell you on New Years Eve.
Would you care to share THAT with the Forum?
Exactly what I was referring to B2R, I do hate to hear of these family tragedies, which always seem to befall good people over Xmas and New Year.

POLICE OFFICERS FACE CHARGES
ARMSTRONG, Iowa (AP) — A former Armstrong police officer has been charged with dozens of crimes, making him the latest in a string of former town officials to face criminal charges in the last 14 months in a wide-reaching corruption case.
Former Armstrong officer Benjamin Scheevel was charged earlier this month with 84 felony and misdemeanor counts — some dating back to 2016, radio station KILR reported. The counts include stalking, involving at least two women, non-felonious misconduct in office, assault and unauthorized dissemination of criminal history data. He also faces counts of obstruction, theft and tax evasion.
Scheevel is being held in the Buena Vista County Jail on a $200,000 bond. An attorney listed for him in online court documents did not immediately return a phone message left Monday by The Associated Press.
The case is being prosecuted by the Iowa Attorney General's Office, which is also pursuing cases again other former Armstrong officials, including the former mayor, police chief and several town clerks. Those charges were brought following a multi-year investigation that uncovered embezzlement and other abuses, authorities said.
Current Estherville Police Offer Tyler Van Roekel was arrested Tuesday on several charges including ongoing criminal conduct; unauthorized access to or dissemination of criminal intelligence data; unauthorized access to or dissemination of criminal history data and non-felonious misconduct in office. The charges are in connection with incidents that occurred in 2019. Van Roekel was released from jail after posting a $50,000 cash bond and has been placed on administrative leave.
Van Roekel's Attorney entered a written arraignment and plea of not guilty.
