Not working on my Windows 10. Opera . No toolbar on Youtube. Am I doing something wrong?. Can see the icon and settings at top right, but no action on Youtube.
Sorry . My bad. Works great now. Such a cool extension.
Great extension overall, I just wish the dark themes would address the dark text. Video titles are completely invisible on some themes, and on the "Upload video" screen, the tab titles are invisible too.
I hope you guys can make an update soon to fix these issues or to allow us to enter our own CSS.
Great set of tools overall, never had a problem using it for Opera on my MacBook except for one small caveat... defaulting to auto-loop videos doesn't work (I just have to click the spinny arrow for videos I wish to loop instead).
I love the themes, especially the dark ones. I like the tool bar at the bottom of the screen, very helpful. Would recommend.
Love the scheme (huge fan of dark themes), love the cinema mode and love the wheel scroll volume control.
The 1 star is even too much.. for russian developer! Worst addon ..

Is there a limit to the amount I can load onto a gift card?
The minimum value of the card is $5, and the maximum amount is $1000.
The gift card is a prepaid card. The purchaser determines the amount on the card at the time of purchase. The card can be used anywhere MasterCard® is accepted. Each time a purchase is made the balance is reduced by the purchase amount.
When should I use my card?
You can use your card immediately. If you do not use your card within the first year of receipt, an inactivity fee of $15 will be applied on the first day of the 13th month. This $15 fee will be applied every month the card remains inactive until the card balance reaches zero.
How do I know my card is ready to be used?
All cards are activated immediately at the time of purchase and can be used anywhere MasterCard® is accepted for the purchase of goods and services.
We encourage you to register your gift card immediately to establish a record of ownership. The gift card can be registered online here.
What is my verification code, and why do I need it?
The verification code is a 3-digit code that is located on the back of the card next to the signature panel. This verification code will be needed to access the online cardholder website and when requesting live agent support at 877-404-4833.
Can I use the gift card to make a purchase that is larger than the value on the card?
No. The available balance on the card is determined at the time of purchase. The available balance on the card can be determined by registering online through the cardholder website here or by calling customer support at 877-404-4833.
No. A gift card closely resembles a credit card; however, card holders do not have a line of credit. A recipient of a gift card can spend up to the value placed on the card by the purchaser.
Note: When making a purchase using a gift card select the "credit" or "signature" option on the merchant's terminal. These cards do not have a PIN (Personal Identification Number) that can be used for making debit purchases.
Are there limitations to where I can use my card?
The gift card cannot be used for gambling, to obtain cash at an ATM machine or to get cash back after a purchase. The card may not work when trying to make purchases online or via telephone which require that the card have a billing address.

Inactivity Fee: Cards with no activity for twelve (12) months will be charged a monthly inactivity fee equal to $15.00.* The inactivity fee is a monthly fee charged against any unused available balance of the card each month, beginning on the 1st day of the 13th month after the date of last activity and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter. The monthly $15.00 inactivity fee will be assessed and automatically deducted from the available balance of the card until the available balance of the card reaches $0.
Can I use my card outside the United States?
The gift card can be used anywhere MasterCard® is accepted. Please read the full MasterCard® Gift Card Terms and Agreement for a complete explanation of foreign currency transactions. Note the phone number for customer service will only work inside the U.S. 877-404-4833.
Are statements available for gift cards?
No. The current balance and purchase limit can be obtained by accessing the cardholder website or by calling customer support at 877-404-4833.
Merchants have their own return and exchange policies; please review these policies when making purchases. In some cases merchants require that the credit for the return be issued back onto the same card that was used to make the purchase, so retention of the card may be important to return merchandise.
Why do I sometimes have difficulty using my gift card at restaurants or gas pumps?
In some cases card purchases may be declined because the authorization amount exceeds the available balance of funds on the card or exceeds the final transaction amount of the purchase. The reason for this difference is that the merchant may not know the final amount of the transaction at the time the card is used. The difference is typical at merchants like restaurants and salons where tips are customary. When using the card at a merchant where a tip is included your authorization amount may be for 20% over the normal purchase amount. Purchases made at a "pay at the pump" gas station may authorize up to $75 or more even if your purchase amount is less, which reduces the overall available amount on the card.
The funds do not expire. The date noted on the front of the Card is the date through which the use of the card is valid. This date is required to ensure that the card can be used with merchants that request and/or require customers to provide a card expiration date during the transaction process. You may not use the card after the valid through date.
What happens if there are funds on the card after it has expired?
If you still have available funds on the card after the valid through date has passed, you may contact us at 877-404-4833 and we will issue a replacement card to you at no charge.
If you do not register your card, then three years after the date the card was purchased it will be canceled, and any unused balance will be handled according to the applicable unclaimed property law. Please review the MasterCard® Gift Card Terms and Agreement for further information.
Note: Monthly inactivity fees may consume the card balance; a $15 fee is applied every month following 12 consecutive months of inactivity.
Immediately report a card as lost or stolen by calling 877-404-4833, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. You can request a replacement card at any time.
Note: A replacement card fee of $15 may apply.
Can I dispute suspicious transactions on my gift card?
You have the opportunity to dispute errors. Please review the MasterCard® Gift Card Terms and Agreement for instructions on the process. Contact customer support by calling 877-404-4833.


These are words some experts used to describe Marine Corps commandant Gen. Jim Amos–or at least, how they believe his signature describes him.
Writing for MilitaryTimes' Off Duty section, handwriting experts Sheila Lowe, Kimon Ianetta and Reed Hayes took a look at the John Hancocks of all the military service leaders, including the Commander-in-Chief.
President Barack Obama's mostly-illegible signature "signals a strong need for privacy," Lowe said, while Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is "unable or unwilling to tell it like it is" judging from his autograph, she said.
As for the CMC, analysts looked at the "sharp angles and extended hooked final stroke" to determine what the signatory said about the man.
Iannetta and Hayes came up with a slightly different but complementary analysis of the signature.
Do you think this analysis is spot-on or a little suspicious? What do you think the signature says? To read the full story with full analysis of all the service leaders' signatures, and that of Military Times staff write Jon R. Anderson, pick up a copy of Marine Corps Times on news stands today or get the full print version online with a one-day pass on MarineCorpsTimes Prime.
I just wasted 30 seconds of my life reading this useless article.
I think it says… "I don't know how to stand behind my men… and once I make up my mind to sc*w the… I will not back down no matter how any justice laws I need to break to do so". So I guess that is pretty close to the first one.
Gen Amos is Strong willed, very motivated, and capable as a Commander. He is narrow minded and beligerant in his view of his own Integrity, while unable to make the right decisions for the men he should be protecting, not "crushing" them for Minor infractions.

Mid Year Report: The best podcasts so far this year
A countdown of the best podcasts to come out in the first half of 2018.
Our top picks of podcasts released so far this year.
Dear Joan and Jericha
Joan and Jericha are two British agony aunts, teaming up to offer some practical advice to their radio listeners on how to deal with life in the modern age. So far, so normal. Except Joan and Jericha are far from normal and this podcast has overtaken to My Dad Wrote a Porno to become the funniest – and filthiest – thing you can download through iTunes. Lacking any empathy, compassion or common sense, Joan and Jericha are staunch supporters of the patriarchy and have never met a problem that wasn't a woman's fault. Starting off inscrutable and deadpan, comedians Julia Davis and Vicki Pepperdine become more absurd with every episode, delivering a biting satire that will leave you wide-eyed and weeping with laughter.
Watching The Throne
Kanye West: misunderstood musical genius or bat shiz crazy blowhard? It's often hard to tell, especially after all his unhinged recent pro-#MAGA rambling. But among all the press-hungry antics its easy to overlook the brilliance of his music. Watching the Throne makes a good argument as it explores the recorded output of Kanye in extreme detail. I mean, there's deep dives and then there's this. A recent episode spent nearly 90 minutes examining the thoughts, themes and lyrical nuances of a single track. This is not uncommon. Like the man himself, this is entertaining, interesting and best in small doses.
Kiwis might recognise Fearne Cotton from the occasional TV appearance that has screened here, but in her British homeland, she's a pretty big deal. The host of BBC1's morning radio show for six years, Cotton made headlines when she decided to walk away from her "dream job" to focus on her family and new projects. One of those projects is this podcast: Happy Place. The premise is simple: Cotton speaks to people she finds inspirational about success and happiness. From Dawn French and Gok Wan to former Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman, Cotton questions how we view success and reveals a new side to these well-known characters. Inspirational and uplifting, this is the feel-good podcast of the year.

Unhappy Hour
If you're ever having a bad day, Unhappy Hour is the podcast that reminds you it's ok to stew for a while. And that it could almost always be worse. Matt Bellassai - formerly of YouTube fame - hosts the podcast in which he talks about all the things he hates with a hilarious level of ire, presenting everything from the worst news of the week to deep dives into topics like "why Disney princesses are the worst". None of it matters, it's not hurting anyone, it's just funny and cathartic and really, what more could you want in such troubled times?

The perfect podcast for the haters in your life
22 Feb, 2018 1:00pm
Taking a human approach to an issue many find too vast to understand, the New York Times' ground-breaking podcast Caliphate opened the story behind Islamic State in a way we'd never seen (or heard) before. Through the voices of Times reporter and Isis expert Rukmini Callimachi, as well as a young Isis recruit from Canada, Caliphate explored themes of fear and religion as it attempted to understand the ideologies of Isis, and who exactly it is that America is fighting. It's a gripping, addictive listen, and one that breaks new ground for the possibilities of podcast storytelling.

Boeing makes plans to use undersea drones as another growth opportunity
By Ross Wilkers
Boeing's recently announced underwater drone manufacturing partnership with Huntington Ingalls Industries brings together two of the U.S.' biggest defense contractors in an emerging market.
But the combination of the world's largest airplane maker and the U.S' largest military shipbuilder is more than just about name recognition, Boeing defense segment CEO Leanne Caret told a Defense One-hosted event Wednesday morning in Washington.
"When you form agreements like this it is about working together and if it's only for the name, you're really not going to have a good relationship," Caret said.
Rather, Caret cited "an opportunity for there to be more quantities built" of unmanned undersea vehicles based on conversations with agencies. Boeing currently produces its autonomous Echo Voyager submarine at a "very low rate" and sought manufacturing experience in its search for a partner.
"We wanted to partner with some folks who are experts in mass production in that type of a vehicle," Caret said.
The Boeing-HII partnership is touting the aerospace giant's 55-foot Echo Voyager for the Navy's Extra Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicle program, or "Orca," that seeks a UUV that can travel to a location, stay there and deploy payloads before returning back to a home base.
Caret touted Echo Voyager's design as a self-deployable underwater vehicle at the event and Boeing wants customers to view the company as a key player in that market.
"You'll think of subs when you think of us," she said.
Autonomous and other unmanned systems will become a standalone business unit within the $29 billion Boeing defense segment on July 1 as part of a reorganization that also includes a new space and missile systems unit focused on NASA programs and weapons.
That reorganization comes in response to the speed of both technology changes and customer decisions in response, Caret said.
"We're making decisions based on things we read in the news" on new technology breakthroughs, Caret said. "And it's really causing us to rethink, 'How do we go execute the business?'"
Boeing's longstanding fighter jet business remains a "key part of our core business" even as the company looks to extend its brand as a diverse government contractor, Caret said.
"Without a strong core, you can't continue to invest and grow," Caret said. "Our fighter business has always been part of the Boeing bloodline but it's not our only business."
Autonomous and space were two priority markets Caret outlined in remarks during Boeing's May 2016 investor conference nearly three months after she became defense CEO. She also highlighted satellites, rotorcraft, commercial derivatives and services as key focus areas for the Boeing defense business.
At the Defense One event, Caret also shed additional light on the company's decision to move its defense headquarters from St. Louis to Arlington, Va., near the Pentagon. St. Louis had hosted the defense segment since 1997 upon Boeing's merger with former rival McDonnell Douglas.
"To listen to customers, you just can't be available and then fly in and fly back out when it's convenient for you. You need to be a part of the community and the fabric of the lives that they're living and actually see, both through our field service reps throughout the world and our production sites, but also the conversations that are going on at the senior levels," Caret said.

Prison bus skids into Texas train; 10 killed
PENWELL, Texas (AP) — Eight inmates and two corrections officers died Wednesday when a prison bus skidded off an icy West Texas highway, slid down an embankment and collided with a passing freight train, authorities said.
The overpass on Interstate 20 was slick with ice Wednesday morning when the Texas Department of Criminal Justice bus left the roadway in Penwell, just west of Odessa, according to Ector County Sheriff Mark Donaldson.
An earlier accident on the I-20 overpass may have contributed to the prison bus losing control, Donaldson said.
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice confirmed the 10 deaths in a statement, adding that four prisoners and one corrections officer were injured.
Tiffany Harston, spokeswoman for Medical Center Hospital in Odessa, said four of the injured are in critical condition and one in serious condition.
"It"s with a heavy heart that we mourn the loss of those killed and injured this morning in a tragic accident," said Brad Livingston, executive director of the Department of Criminal Justice. "Their loved ones will be in our thoughts and prayers."
Jason Clark, a spokesman for the Department of Criminal Justice, said the bus was taking the inmates from the Middleton prison in Abilene to the Sanchez prison in El Paso.
After the accident around 7:30 a.m., the white bus came to rest on its side adjacent to the railroad tracks, crumpled with heavy damage to its front and undercarriage. The top of the bus also was caved inward.
The Union Pacific freight train with four locomotives and 58 cars came to a stop soon after. None of the cars derailed, but two containers at the rear of the train were damaged when the bus struck them, said Mark Davis, a railroad spokesman.
The containers were carrying hundreds of parcels and packages, many of which were strewn along the tracks.
Two Union Pacific employees were not injured.
The train, which was traveling from the Los Angeles area to Marion, Arkansas, remained stopped at the accident site several hours after the accident, Davis said.
"We"ll send crews to inspect the train, inspect the track," he said.
State Rep. Tan Parker notified the Texas House of the accident and led a moment of silence.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick issued a statement offering condolences to the families of those killed in the wreck.
"I also pray for a speedy recovery of a third correctional staff member and four offenders who were transported with injuries," he said.
In June, an inmate was killed and several other people were injured when a Department of Criminal Justice van collided with a car in Central Texas.

Dagestani Head meets with religious leaders of the Northern Caucasus
02 December 2014 16:25	Posted in: POLITICS Source : R
Makhachkala, December 2, 2014. On Monday, December 1, Dagestani Head Ramazan Abdulatipov chaired a meeting entitled "The role of Islamic organizations in maintaining peace and stability". The conference brought together religious leaders of the Northern Caucasus, the press service of Daghestani Head and government's administration reports.
Having expressed sincere gratitude to the guests for participating in the Congress, Ramazan Abdulatipov pointed out that cooperation and the strengthening of constructive relations among the Muslims from different Russian regions would provide inter-civilization conversation in order to reduce radicalism among the young people.
"The current religious situation is characterized by a lot of problems and issues. We should not ignore them but try to solve in a short period not to have bigger problems tomorrow. About 2.5 million Muslims live in Dagestan and we should not divide them in different trends"- Dagestani Head said.
R. Abdulatipov urged the participants of the Congress of religious leaders to support the position of the President RF, recalling that the political course of the country's leadership is to promote cohesion and mutual understanding of the peoples of all faiths.
Dagestani Head also noted that the religious leaders of the Northern Caucasus and other Russian regions carried out a serious work aimed at improving the spiritual self-perfecting of society, forming the young people's high moral and ethical principles. The religious leaders firmly and consistently condemned extremism and terrorism in all forms and manifestations defending the position of security, peace, kindness and creativity.
As to Dagestani Leader, the problem of violence, ignorance and extremism can not be solved through the use of force, but through dialogues between the different currents within the Islamic Ummah.
The chairpersons of Spiritual administrations of Muslims of the Northern Caucasus expressed their gratitude for a warm welcome and the opportunity to participate in the Congress. As all participants pointed out Islam in Russia came via Dagestan, which had always been famous for its scholars, and today here as it was demonstrated once again, the religious leaders of the North Caucasus look forward to further peace strengthening process, the unity and spiritual ties among peoples. This is a way of truth, which must be followed by youth.
"The Congress of religious leaders of the North Caucasus is intended to assist in solving key tasks, to contribute to the process of strengthening of good neighborly relations among the Russian regions. I wish all participants of the meeting good health, well-being and the best on the path of God." Ramazan Abdulatipov concluded.
The meeting was attended by Dagestan Deputy Prime Minister Ramazan Dzhafarov, the chairman of the Committee for Freedom of Conscience, Cooperation with Religious Organizations RD Suleyman Magomedov, the chairman of the Spiritual Board of Muslims of Dagestan, mufti, Sheikh Ahmad- haji Abdulayev, the imam of the central Juma mosque of Makhachkala Mahammadrasul Saaduev, the chairmen of Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Karachay-Cherkessia, North Ossetia-Alania, Kabardino-Balkaria Republic, the Chechen Republic, Stavropol Territory, muftis Ismail Berdiev, Hadzhimurad Gatsalov, Hazratali Haji Dzasezhev, Salah Haji Mezhiev, Muhammad- Haji Rakhimov, and the chairmen of Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kalmykia and Tatarstan muftis Sultan- Ahmed Karalayev, Kamile Samigulin, the chief Imam of Simferopol Muhammed Islamov, the director of autonomous non-profit organization "Scientific-Educational Center" Al-Wasat-moderation "Ali (Vyacheslav) Polosin.

DominicanToday.com - Catholic Youth Ministry coordinator Luis Rosario on Saturday said the country has more brothels than schools and urges the authorities to review the sexual orientation programs for the young.
He said the media are also play an essential role in the education of youth and society, where sexuality is sold as something of no unimportance.
The senior prelate said homosexuality isn't a matter of genetics, but rather education and that more than a choice is a confusion which in his view often results from an abuse during childhood or adolescence.
The priest was interviewed on ONTV channel 10, also stressed the media's role in times of crime, violence and deprivation affecting the country.
Dominican Watchdog Note | Was he including government offices? That is where most of this country's sellouts work accordign to a comment in DominicanToday. Of course it all starts with education!!
I agree with the priest partially, we need more schools and better quality education. Once again, the different communities have to organize and demand action be taken to better the system. We have to demand and make our voices be heard. We let those in power make all the decisions for us and they just don't care as long as they get what they want; power and money. Juan Bosch once said that the Dominican people got used to been abused by the government and learned to accept corruption and ineptitude as part of the system, we have become a masochist (not sure if this is the right word, I translated it) people.


Nine years ago, Dr. Hudson placed himself under the instruction of Dr. Carrick of Carrick Institute. He is now a Board Certified Diplomate of Functional Neurology. This high level of education has demanded intense dedication. For more than four years Dr. Hudson attended up to 25 hours of lecture per month, with lots of self-study and testing Coupled with this, he has taken an additional 36 months of specialized study in Traumatic Brain Injury. He commonly treats patients with neurological developmental disorders, such as ADD and ADHD, as well as post-concussion patients and patients with balance issues.

I have been seen a steady rise of children that have been diagnosed with Autism or an Autism Spectrum Disorder. I wonder why we are seeing such a steep rise of this syndrom among children.
Ginger Bennet my dear friends, Kindermusik Educators and Music Therapist forwarded to me this video about Autism. She says it is the best 13 minutes you will ever invest in a journey through Autism. I also ran this video by Kindermusik parent and mom of an Autistic child. She said this video was really important and worth sharing with whoever would be interested in viewing it.
I hope that you each gain a bit of insight into Autism and what it is like to parent a special child like this.


We know how difficult it is to choose a hotel for a family with children, so we have prepared a collection of hotels in Malaysia, which is comfortable for staying with kids. Cheap hotel rates here start from $1 and reach $299, and an average rating is 8.5 points out of 10.
Good city hotel. Located near shopping areas and the city center. Great room.
Fair family hotel. Located near shopping areas with easy access to parking. Awesome vibe.
Very good romantic hotel. Located near shopping areas and the airport. Great rooms and fantastic service. Awesome vibe.
Good for traveling with friends. Located near shopping areas and the city center. Great room. Awesome vibe.

Russ Against the World
By Glen Chenoweth
In the season that Kevin Durant was out due to a foot injury, Russell Westbrook put the team on his back to elevate the Oklahoma City team. Westbrook had 11 double-doubles in the 2014-2015 season for the Thunder. This season Westbrook has averaged a triple-double for the first three games of the season.
Russell Westbrook is the superstar Oklahoma City needs. He plays with a certain amount of energy and passion every night. Let's think about the rebounds that he has so far this season. The Thunder have three big men who are known for getting rebounds either in college or in the league: Steven Adams, Enes Kanter, and Domantas Sabonis.
Westbrook is competing to get rebounds with players on his own team as well as the other team the Thunder play against each night. At 6 feet 3 inches, Westbrook is out-rebounding his teammates who are at least 7 inches taller than him. Westbrook does not care that his energy and athleticism help him get this many rebounds each night.
The next question is, are there any other point guards in the NBA who come close to this many rebounds per game? Through seven games, Westbrook is averaging 8.4 rebounds per game in 33.1 minutes per game. Westbrook is 24th overall in the league in rebounds per game. There are only two other players in the league who play the small forward, shooting guard or point guard position that rank higher than Westbrook in rebounds per game.
One of the players that rank higher than Westbrook in rebounds is four-time MVP and three-time NBA champion LeBron James who averages half a rebound more than Westbrook per game.
The other player that averages more rebounds per game than Westbrook is an inch shorter than he and, on average, plays 3.9 minutes more per game than Westbrook. The player who averages point three more rebounds than Westbrook per game is Avery Bradley.
James and Bradley average less offensive rebounds per game than Westbrook, which makes the fact that Westbrook out rebounds his own team super human. Rebounds make up only one-third of a triple-double stat line, but the rebounds are truly impressive for another reason entirely.
By getting more rebounds than his whole team, Westbrook is effectively taking the outlet pass out of the Thunder's offensive playbook. He is getting a rebound and dribbling up the court to set up the offense himself. The big men for the Thunder are not waiting to find the point guard, make the outlet pass, and running up the court. Instead Westbrook is grabbing the rebound and going, the big men are able to run up the court once the rebound is secured, the offense can start sooner and catch defenses off guard.
In terms of assists, Westbrook is averaging 9.9 per game and is tied for second overall in the league. Assists are not rare for a point guard since they are the ones generally starting the offense and they take the ball up the floor. Still the other two players who are either tied with Westbrook or above him in assists per game are playing more minutes per game and are the playmakers for their team.
The player who ranks No. 1 overall in assists per game is a shooting guard, but as far as roles go, he is the offensive starter for their team. James Harden averages 12.7 assists per game while playing four more minutes per game than Westbrook.
LeBron James, who along with averaging more rebounds per game than Westbrook, averages the same amount of assists per game than Westbrook. James plays 3.3 more minutes per game than Westbrook.
Harden and James are elite players. As stated earlier, James is a three-time NBA champion and Harden was the runner-up in the MVP vote just two years ago. Like Westbrook, Harden is a perennial All-Star, who is the best player on his team. Assists is another category where Westbrook ranks among the best in the league while playing three minutes per game less than those who rank above him.
Scoring is the third category in triple-doubles, and again Westbrook is in the elite ranks. Westbrook is fifth overall in scoring at 30.4 points per game. Only one other point guard scores more points per game than Westbrook – Damian Lillard. Lillard scores more than Westbrook per game but the Portland Trailblazer averages 5.6 rebounds per game and 4.6 assists per game. Not in the same realm as Westbrook. Lillard also plays more minutes per game than Westbrook.
This is another category where Westbrook plays fewer minutes than the players who rank above him. DeMar DeRozan scores 33.7 points per game, the most in the league. Like Lillard, DeRozan plays more minutes per game.
Overall Westbrook ranks as one of the best in the NBA in terms of rebounds, assists, and points per game, while still playing fewer minutes than those who rank above him.
The one statistic that Westbrook dominates is usage percentage. Usage percentage is how a player performs per possession amongst their teammates. Westbrook has a usage percentage of 41.7, which is higher than anyone else in the league by more than three points. This shows just how valuable Westbrook is to his team.
Westbrook is the only player on his team who is an All-Star, which means he has the pressure to play at such a high level to win games. Westbrook is arguably the best player on his team, which is what matters when it comes to the MVP trophy. Adam Silver can just drop off the 2016-2017 MVP trophy in Oklahoma City. Westbrook is planning out his acceptance speech. All he has to do is keep up his production level and dust off the sheet the first week of May.

Former Vermont transit chief to push Montreal train route
By - Associated Press - Sunday, July 19, 2015
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - A former Vermont transportation secretary is coming out of retirement to help plan resumption of passenger train service between the northeastern United States and Montreal.
Brian Searles, who retired as transportation secretary in December, is returning to state service part-time to deal with the U.S. and Canadian governments on plans to restore Amtrak service on the northern end of a route that last operated in 1994.
U.S. federal budget cuts last year halted service north of St. Albans, Vermont, and a train that had been called the Montrealer was renamed the Vermonter.
Transportation officials say tentative plans are for a joint U.S.-Canadian facility to be built at the Central Station in Montreal - where both north- and southbound passengers will clear customs.
No target date for completion has been given.
"This has been a goal of the state to get back into Montreal since the mid-1990s," Searles said. But new hurdles were set up after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which prompted a tightening of security at international borders.
The train, whose southern terminus is Washington, D.C., also serves Connecticut, western Massachusetts, the Connecticut River valley of Vermont and New Hampshire. It's northbound route turns northwest across Vermont at White River Junction.
Searles said states along the route subsidize the train, adding that it's hoped Massachusetts and Connecticut will increase their subsidies when the route is reopened to Montreal.
He said that adding a metropolis of 4 million people as the final destination should add value to the route. Searles said he could not provide an estimated date when service to Montreal might resume.

Skoal and Copenhagen: Chewing tobacco maker agrees to $5M settlement
Posted: December 10, 2010 , in
U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Co. will pay $5 million to the family of a man who died of mouth cancer. He began chewing tobacco at 13 and died at age 42. The settlement is being reported as the first wrongful-death settlement won from a chewing tobacco company. Chewing tobacco manufactures largely escaped the large personal injury and wrongly death damage awards that staggered the tobacco industry a decade ago, in part, because of more conclusive evidence that cigarettes caused disease. It has always been recognized that chewing tobacco use carries significant health risks, and industry experts are predicting a flood of lawsuits in the wake of this settlement.
Spokesmen for Altria, which bought U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Co. last year, vowed there would be no more settlements. Interestingly, Altria is the parent of Phillip Morris USA, the nation's largest cigarette maker.
It's being reported that U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Co. sent cards in the 1980s to minors thanking them for their purchases and offering free tobacco. Amazingly, the company even sent a can opener a child to assist that child with the opening of his chewing tobacco.
Chewing tobacco users who develop cancer frequently lose their tongues, and other parts of their mouths. Observers have noted it is a particularly horrific way to die.

Landon Donovan to Join MASL's San Diego Sockers
By Christina Bravo	• Published January 23, 2019 • Updated on January 24, 2019 at 6:12 am
Landon Donovan, the tied record-holder for all-time U.S. Men's National Team (USMNT) goals and assists, will return to professional soccer with the San Diego Sockers in 2019, a source confirmed to NBC7SportsWrap.
The Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) team is set to make the announcement on Thursday at the Sockers' home field at Pechanga Arena. A press release said the San Diego Sockers would announce "a player signing of significant importance."

Donovan, widely regarded as one of the best American players of all time, has spent the majority of two decades in professional soccer. The six-time MLS Cups champion also holds the record for most consecutive MLS All-Star games.
He got his professional start in Germany before playing with the San Jose Earthquakes in 2001, where he led the team to their first-ever MLS Cup. Donovan next joined his hometown club, the Los Angeles Galaxy until his first retirement in 2014.

The All-Star has competed in the U.S. Olympics with the Men's National Team and is a three-time FIFA World Cup veteran.
In the past, Donovan has said he's a huge fan of the San Diego Sockers, and grew up watching the team – even more closely than Galaxy or DC United.
Donovan semi-retired from professional soccer again in 2016 has spent nearly two years working with FS Investors to advocate for a proposal that was intended to bring a Major League Soccer (MLS) team to San Diego.
The proposal on the November 2018 ballot failed to garner enough support from voters.

« Kisangani, Can It Bring Law to Out-Law Lomami?
There are not many diamond miners up the Lomami. But is that because there are not many diamonds? Or is it only because prospection is just getting started? There are some disturbing signs.
The gems are not small. At least they don't seem to me to be small. This photo of two diamonds "in hand" is what they showed us at the camp on the Lokomue, a tributary of the Lomami just north of Obenge. We were surprised to see miners there. We thought we had seen the last of the miners 300 km and four days earlier. We thought the diamond "sluicers" on the Lutanga River just south of Opala were the last we would see. But not so.
There was a Congolese "prospector" looking for diamonds in the village of Lisala, not far north from Katopa. He said that he had not found much but there was every reason (like I might have been a competitor) that he would not tell me the truth.
The chief of the village of Lisala told me privately "there are lots of diamonds in our river" , and he waved his hand in the direction of a tributary of the Lomami. "We are just waiting for you people to come and take them".
This is the upper Tshuapa, the farthest south west that we got. There was one small diamond camp here as well.
This is what is disturbing in all of this. If there are really diamonds, soon there will be lots of artisanal miners. Just like Terese saw north of Kisangani. And remote diamond camps live off of bushmeat. For now the Lomami forests are still rich with animals, but diamond camps would turn them silent and still.

I just discover this most interesting blog, thanks to a hint from Teresa. Excellent work and very exciting indeed. I am just wondering whether you guys are also trying to keep records of birds. There may be also significant discoveries to be made in that respect as well. Any records of Congo Peacock so far ?
good questions. John joins the teams in the TL2 at the end of October and then we will have a first ornithologist. It would be great to have a second!

Welcome to the city of Atlanta, home of Hip Hop Moguls JD, Luda, TI, Outkast and more, where Magic has its own city and redemption from sin can be found at any number of Mega Ministries the city heralds. It's also home to Ian "Ice" Bailey a man as dangerous as he is sexy.
Our story begins on the East side, where we meet Ice and our supporting cast. Kaitlyn "KiKi" Ross and Jaleesa "Tweety" Mitchell; two ladies who can hold their own in the game, making moves and plays as well as any of their male counterparts. Things are fine until Tweety crosses the line, unwittingly dragging KiKi along, and invade Ice's territory. That's when everything becomes complicated.
Throw in a romantic triangle or three and the fun really starts. Ice has a thing for KiKi, but she has a thing for Tariq. Tariq Taylor is the short order cook she sells smack to and thinks he's a junkie. Tariq is into KiKi, but Landon, the guy who works for the arena league that KiKi meets at the club, is determined she's going to be with him. Confused yet? No? Well there's Tweety's man Evan, Landon's friend, who isn't what he presents himself to be and who also happens to have hidden lust for KiKi.
Ice is not a man accustomed to hearing no, or being outwitted in his business. His reaction to both is force, sometimes deadly. Begin the ride with us and meet all the players in our serial drama, starting with the beginning, BEWARE: Thin Ice.

Dezi Gianni has spent twenty plus years rebuilding his empire, becoming even more powerful than he'd been before. Though the life of luxury and privilege that people only dream of never faltered, Dezi was not fulfilled. There was still that one loose end, and Dezi Gianni was not the kind of man to leave things unresolved. Determined to reclaim the essence of that which he loves more than his own life, he sets out on a dangerous journey back to the very soil he was once legally excommunicated from. The threat of arrest and prison looming over his head is not a deterrent. Dezi has no plans of leaving empty handed this time however, and heaven help anyone or anything, that gets in his way. When Dezi Gianni returns to his expansive mansion estate carved in the hills of the picturesque township in Bermuda, his life will begin anew. The once loose end will be secured and Dezi Devastator Gianni's world will once again be absolute.
Sins of the Father
Some say that Evil, like Love, never dies. 20 years ago Kayla DeWitt met Dezi Gianni and a whirlwind romance began. A romance filled with love, joy, intrigue, deception and ultimately death. Still, after all she'd been through and all she'd lost, Kayla thought of him often. No other man touched her soul as deeply as Dezi had. She still loved Dezi even though she knew seeing him again was wishful thinking, thinking that ultimately reminded her of his burial deep within the earth and her hearts loss. It was well overdue for Kayla to concentrate on her life in the present, not what once was, in the past. For the sake of her sanity and the wellbeing of her family, she had to completely, utterly, forget Dezi Gianni, once and for all. Karma however has its own ideas, and like it or not her past isn't going to be denied as it raises its head once more and stares Kayla straight in the face.
A Deadly Encounter
Kirabaco Publishing (Apr 27, 2009)

Now Dezi's empire is under siege by the FBI, another man has set his sights on Kayla and Dezi has had enough.


Depression is of two types one is Major Depressive Disorder and the other Bipolar Disorder. The two are different which require different treatments. The symptoms of the former involves sadness, excessive crying, loss of pleasure, sleeping too much or too little, low energy, restlessness, difficulty in concentrating, irritability, loss of appetite or overeating, feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness, feelings of physical problems that are not caused by physical illness or injury like headaches, digestive problems, pain and thoughts of death or suicide.
Bipolar disorder involves episodes of depression and also episodes of mania like inappropriate sense of euphoria (excitement), reckless behavior, little sleep needed, excessive energy, racing thoughts; talking too much, out of control spending, difficulty concentrating, irritability, abnormally increased activity including sexual activity, poor judgment, aggressive behavior, extreme irritability or "out of control" behavior. People with depression do not experience manic episodes. And an episode whether depressive or manic can last for days, weeks, months or even years. It is very essential to note that the treatment differs for both the conditions. Both biological factors like genetics and psychological factors like stress play a major role in causing depression. For people who are correctly diagnosed with depression i.
e. major depressive disorder, antidepressant medications are often highly effective and they must be taken regularly for three to four weeks, sometimes even longer, before the full response is seen. Other treatments involve Electroconvulsive therapy, Lithium and Anticonvulsant medication both used for prevention. Sometimes interpersonal therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy is also used. Treatments for bipolar disorder often involve a two-part plan of using both medication and psychotherapy. Different types of medications are used to treat bipolar disorder, including medicines for controlling manic symptoms, depressive symptoms or medications that help stabilize the patient's mood.
Psychotherapy, with a licensed therapist or social worker, is also used in bipolar disorder treatment. Cognitive Therapy focuses on changing inappropriate or negative thought patterns, Behavioral Therapy focuses on current behaviors and Interpersonal therapy focuses on current relationships that can affect the illness. Psychoeducation helps the patient and family understand the illness and recognize signs of relapse. Interpersonal and social rhythm therapy focuses on daily routines that can promote emotional stability. The line of treatment depends on the patient's needs who usually works with healthcare professionals that supervise the patient's care maintaining personal contact with each other to help ensure the patients' continued progress. In both of the above cases it is very important that you do not stop treatment on your own, whether you have concerns about your medicine or if you feel you are doing better, discuss openly with your doctor.
