Pet Fooled
The film investigates the inner workings inside the commercial pet food industry, which has went largely unchallenged until now and Pet Fooled is made with an aim to expose its secrets and lack of transparency. Marketed toward humans, but made for consumers who can't speak, pet food companies have learned how to navigate through verbiage and loopholes. The end result is a product that's cheap and easy for them to make, while buyers are promised that they're giving 'quality,' 'healthy,' and 'nutritious' food to their pets. Some veterinary professionals in the film link modern ailments found in pets, such as obesity and allergies, to diet.
Insights and knowledge are shared by multiple interviewees, including Dr. Karen Becker of Mercola Healthy Pets, Dr. Barbara Royal, founder of The Royal Treatment Veterinary Center and Oprah Winfrey's veterinarian, Susan Thixton, founder of Truthaboutpetfood.com.
2018 Medicine
The film is produced by James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jackie Chan and documents the explosive rise of plant-based eating in professional sports, mixing real-time, groundbreaking science with cinematic stories of struggle and triumph. The film features some of the strongest, fastest and toughest athletes on the planet - and it's backed by them too - with additional EPs including Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton, top-ranked tennis player Novak Djokovic, and nine-time NBA All-Star Chris Paul.
Follow the story of James Wilks - elite Special Forces trainer and winner of The Ultimate Fighter - as he travels the world on a quest for the truth about meat, protein, and strength. Showcasing elite athletes, special ops soldiers, and visionary scientists. Wilks' journey exposes outdated myths about food that not only affect human performance, but the health of the entire global population.
What is with Wheat
Our wheat has changed dramatically, it doesn't even resemble what it used to look like. Not only are we seeing more wheat and gluten sensitivity, there is also a strong connection between gluten and autoimmune diseases. Tens of thousands of people are suffering with ill health and don't realise it's a result of the food choices they are making. Some assume it is part of their genetic make-up or the body changing as they get older.
People need to become educated, knowledgeable and aware. They need to start making changes to improve the health of their children and future generations.
The Magic Pill follows doctors, patients, scientists, chefs, farmers and journalists from around the globe who are combating illness through a paradigm shift in eating. According to its followers, this simple change - embracing fat as our main fuel - is showing profound promise in improving the health of people, animals and the planet. The film is highly controversial and was criticized by some medical associations.
The Paleo diet proposes that humans were genetically adapted to eating specifically those foods that were readily available to them in their local environments. Advocates of the diet claim many chronic diseases and degenerative conditions evident in modern Western populations have arisen because of a mismatch between Stone Age genes and modern lifestyles. The Paleo diet typically includes vegetables, fruits, nuts, roots, and meat and excludes foods such as dairy products, grains, sugar, legumes, processed vegetable oils, salt, alcohol or coffee.
What would happen if you ate nothing but fast food for an entire month? Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock does just that and embarks on the most perilous journey of his life. The rules? For 30 days he can't eat or drink anything that isn't on McDonald's menu; he must wolf three squares a day; he must consume everything on the menu at least once and supersize his meal if asked.
Spurlock also treks across the country interviewing a host of experts on fast food and an equal number of regular folk while chowing down at the Golden Arches. Spurlock's gruelling drive-through diet spirals him into a physical and emotional metamorphosis. Find out in 'Super Size Me' a look at the legal, financial and physical costs of America's hunger for fast food.

Rules of the road: the key players, rules and obstacles you need to know to sell to the U.S. Government
By: Norman Weir
For those looking to initiate business with the U.S. federal government, my aim is to lay aside some of the mysteries around the U.S. federal contracting process by introducing a few terms that are tossed around in a conversation, but perhaps not well understood, such as FAR, DFARS, FCT and GSA.
This article will also point to a few important websites that will be useful for Canadians in the pursuit of exporting to our closest neighbour and biggest trading partner.
The first and second articles published in this series provided information on where to review U.S. opportunities, and how to register to do business with the U.S. Government. Let's hope that this piece will provide sufficient knowledge to put the "big picture" in context, enabling you and your team to move ahead in selling to the U.S. Government.
Discover the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and its cohorts
The FAR is the manual of U.S. Government contracting. You can find it, you can learn it, you can use it and you can understand it if you work at it, but you can't possibly memorize it! Note that the FAR consists of 53 parts, which are further divided into detailed subparts.
Above and beyond the FAR, some U.S. Government departments and agencies have supplemental regulations. In the case of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), it has the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS). These specific regulations are based upon DoD policy and/or U.S. law.
A complement to the DFARS is the Procedures, Guidance, and Information (PGI). The PGI will help you to understand the DFARS. The Office of Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy (DPAP) is the DoD authority for contracting and procurement policy.
Agreements between friends
As a Canadian company and a potential supplier to both DoD and NASA, you need to be aware of two important agreements between Canada and the United States of America: the Defence Production Sharing Agreement (DPSA) and the Defence Development Sharing Agreement (DDSA).
The DPSA is administered by the Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC), while the DDSA is managed by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (formerly named Industry Canada).
The DPSA was signed in 1956, and the DDSA in 1963. In 1985,the U.S./Canada Joint Certification Program (JCP) office was activated in Battle Creek to support both agreements by allowing Canadian and American companies access to controlled unclassified technical information belonging to DoD and DND (Department of National Defence) on a need-to-know basis. By the way, a hybrid JCP website also exists in a transition state during an update to new Defense Logistics Agency web pages; you can try either site to see what works best for your browser.
The legal authority in Canada for the JCP is the Technical Data Control Regulations enacted under the umbrella of the Defence Production Act.
A contract award by a U.S. Government agency to your company will contain clauses that come from the FAR, and maybe even supplemental regulations. In the case of a contract award from DoD, it will contain clauses from the FAR and the DFARs as well.
Some special clauses directly relating to Canada are those in the DFARS which identify CCC. For example, DFARS 225.870 is one which stipulates that awards over the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) (currently $150,000 U.S.) must go through CCC. Can you find the FAR that identifies the SAT level(s)? Hint, look at FAR 13.000 Policy.
If a DoD contracting office wants to award a contract to your company over the SAT, DoD will award it to CCC, who in turn will create a domestic contract for your company, provided it passes CCC's due diligence (managerial, technical and financial) process. In turn, CCC gives DoD a sovereign guarantee on the terms and conditions of the contract. Are you keeping up with all of these acronyms?
If a contract is under the SAT dollar level, DoD can award it to your company directly or ask one of its sub-contractors to purchase it for them. They also have the option of making a credit card transaction.
Pay attention to security
In the U.S. Government environment, Top Secret, Secret, and Confidential are the security levels of protection that may be required in the performance of classified contractual work.
Security requirements in an awarded U.S. contract to CCC are converted into the Canadian equivalent using a Canadian Security Requirements Check List (SRCL).
If a contract contains a classified security requirement, no contract can be awarded to the company until the company itself, and appropriate staff, have been identified as having the required level of facility and personnel security clearances.
Such clearances are issued by Public Services and Procurement Canada's (formerly Public Works and Government Services) Industrial Security Directorate. Obtaining security clearances for classified projects can take a considerable amount of time to process.
Readers need to review the Industrial Security Manual to understand that security is everybody's business. Also, note that if your company is required to have certain U.S. defense articles as part of the contract, you will have to apply to the Canadian Controlled Goods Program and appoint a Designated Official as part of the process.
By the way, DFARS dealing with cybersecurity are very topical within the U.S. defence milieu and will remain so because of the threat environment. It is recommended you review the presentation found at the link in this paragraph.
What happens when a Canadian supplier receives an unclassified contract with cybersecurity DFARS identified and the end buyer is the U.S. Government? In this situation, if the CCC is the Canadian prime contractor, the company should contact the CCC contracting officer for assistance.
In turn, the CCC would most likely discuss the question with Public Services and Procurement Canada's Industrial Security Directorate to develop the appropriate policy and guidance. You should expect to see cybersecurity clauses called out in any contract you receive indirectly or directly from DoD.
Finally, if a CCC contract award requires you to have Communications Security (COMSEC) equipment and keying material, you must work with CCC and the Industrial Security Directorate to obtain the required security clearance level for the contract. Then, be sponsored for a private sector COMSEC account.
Research your competition and customers
Who is the competition? Who is buying what? If you don't know, it's absolutely crucial that you find the answers to these questions.
Remember to use USASpending.gov and fbo.gov to do your research as well. You can use Subscribe Now to see daily listings of high value DoD awarded contracts from the main DoD web site. Use USASpending.gov by inserting a company name into the Search Site box found on the right hand side near the top of the page. You can also use the Advanced Data Search.
When you use fbo.gov, go to "Opportunities List," click on "Advanced Search," and select "Archived Documents" on the right hand side. Next, go to "Opportunity/Procurement Type" and check "Award Notice".
As another avenue, try searching the FBO Opportunities List for "BAA" without the quotes. You will be surprised what you find.
Another DoD program you can use to search for opportunities is the annual Foreign Comparative Testing (FCT) program. Once at the site, click on "Help" to discover what the program is all about this year. Also, review the DND web site dealing with international programs that can help you in dealing with the U.S., or even NATO.
In FBO, many awards from the Defense Logistics Agency show Canadian suppliers. Review the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) to view and submit secure quotes on DLA items of supply. TIP: If you enter DLA into the Keyword/Solicitation # box at FBO.gov you will see a comprehensive listing of DIBBS requirements without going to the actual DIBBS website. JCP certification is required to obtain access to the secure C-Folders part of the DIBBS web site. Once at DIBBS, you will get a consent banner – click "OK". At the actual site see the "DIBBS Notices" at the bottom of the page for important information.
Training, Knowledge, and Opportunities (TKO) seminars have been scheduled for 2017 in Columbus, Ohio. They should be of interest to companies supplying parts to DLA or who want to do so. The JCP Directly Arranged Visit process should enable you to attend the event. Contact the Canadian Representative if problems arise with access to the seminars.
The opportunity to sell to the U.S. Federal Government is a profitable one that is accessible to exporters both large and small, and now is a great time to start the process.
Doing your homework and getting to know the players, regulations and hurdles you may face on the way will be key to your success in tapping in to this market.
In the next article, we will be talking about the biggest challenges you will meet on your way to achieving a contract to sell to the U.S. Government and how you can overcome them.

Q: Get insights/page_fans for a Facebook page from Facebook's open graph I'm trying to get the number of fans that a music artist has on their Facebook page, but it's not working. I've combed through the FBAPI docs as well as SO and still nothing. Here's my code:
func getHolychildInfo() {
    //Make request
    let newGraphRequest: FBSDKGraphRequest = FBSDKGraphRequest(graphPath: "/holychildmusic/insights/page_fans", parameters: ["period" : "lifetime", "show_description_from_api_doc" : "true", "fields": "read_insights"], httpMethod: "GET")
    newGraphRequest.start(completionHandler: { (connection, result, error) in
        if ((error) != nil) {
            print("Holychild error getting insights: \(error.debugDescription)")
        } else {
            print("\nHolychild insights result:\n\n\(result)")
        }
    })
}

Here's my result:
data =     (
);
paging =     {
    next = "https://graph.facebook.com/v2.8/holychildmusic/insights/page_fans?access_token=EAAIB5k3aWEEBAHBD9lZC5AAzZAVV8K8CGBfqaxcrLdZA7oZB2Gdar8cQphXj4VciloZAnZBKp5ZA59BmGloSNz847nFqZCTVsYZCl9rrOk88OnfCnDwwADKnkOO5EUhGumEbW96riHplgfBLdnZAEYmB2Qz4ZAH1sWbuftmGKDqPft4l5QAHSZAimIyI6sOHaKWiurRK201Af6NQCXGliZBsZAUYosUHttkUbo4CQZD&fields=read_insights&format=json&include_headers=false&period=lifetime&sdk=ios&show_description_from_api_doc=true&since=1487457711&until=1487716911";
    previous = "https://graph.facebook.com/v2.8/holychildmusic/insights/page_fans?access_token=EAAIB5k3aWEEBAHBD9lZC5AAzZAVV8K8CGBfqaxcrLdZA7oZB2Gdar8cQphXj4VciloZAnZBKp5ZA59BmGloSNz847nFqZCTVsYZCl9rrOk88OnfCnDwwADKnkOO5EUhGumEbW96riHplgfBLdnZAEYmB2Qz4ZAH1sWbuftmGKDqPft4l5QAHSZAimIyI6sOHaKWiurRK201Af6NQCXGliZBsZAUYosUHttkUbo4CQZD&fields=read_insights&format=json&include_headers=false&period=lifetime&sdk=ios&show_description_from_api_doc=true&since=1486939311&until=1487198511";
};

As you can see, there is nothing in the "data" part of the response. The "page_fans" insights metric is supposed to return a number - among other things - but instead returns nothing.

A: All insights metrics besides the two public ones (page_fans_country and page_storytellers_by_country) require admin access to the page (admin user or page access token with read_insights permission.)
But the fan_count field of the page object is public, so just request that:

Email marketing service Concep recently published a quarterly assessment of email marketing statistics that compares different service industries including legal: Cross Industry Email Statistics.
A representative from the company shared the data in the LexisNexis InterAction CRM group on LinkedIn, and we saw an opportunity to ask a few questions legal marketers might find helpful. The answers, which were shared with the entire group, were interesting so we decided to make a post out of it for this week's Friday Share.
We asked Concep some questions in response to the share on LinkedIn the answers to which you can see (excerpts) in the Queen's English below. Keep in mind the company has offices in London, New York and Sydney so the data is likely to have an international (vice US-specific) flavor.
1. The post notes at the bottom that legal was the only sector that did not see a drop in view rates. Why is that?
Typically firms in the legal sector are less siloed than other sectors. Legal firms are further advanced in their CRM journeys than other sectors, this centralisation of data and process leads to better quality data. The challenge is now on to work out how to combine data sources and use those insights to drive Business Development. Some traditional systems make the reporting aspect difficult.
2. The undeliverable rate is also the lowest in legal – why?
This really goes back to a centralised CRM system and processes. This allows for better upkeep and therefore cleaner lists, when the data is clean, the stats will reflect that. Integrated email solutions ensure undeliverables are recorded and monitored correctly.
Compared to financial sector as an example, they tend to be more siloed and as such companies can use multiple CRM systems and lists which can cause difficulty when recording and sharing undeliverables. Typically larger lists mean less targeting and generally poorer results but the data stewards and their teams at law firms have bucked this trend slightly when comparing against other sectors.
3. What is the finance industry doing that legal is not – in order to drive a higher CTO (with legal being below the average across all sectors)?
We've found that financial campaigns are a little less internally focused compared to legal. Legal bulletins are still quite lengthy and many examples contain too much text. This alongside more me, me, me content can mean a recipient does not directly relate and as such does not click through to view further information. We are seeing a slight shift though and with the legal sector continuing to move away from showcasing just firm updates but information that does impact their clients and prospects and positions them as a commercial adviser. This will always lead to a higher CTO rate.
[Financial services] firms are also a little bit further ahead on their use of owned content targeted to not only drive their inbound marketing but using email as the primary channel on driving contacts to their content on their website, which lends itself to a higher CTO as opposed to having all the content in the email itself.
4. What advice does Concep offer to both drive engagement and response rates, but maintain the higher ethical requirements?
Ensure CRM data is kept up to date, whilst selectively targeting contacts and ensuring perennially disengaged recipients are not sent to. Greater use of personalization and clear calls to action will build trust and relationships with your contacts. Preference driven email marketing allows contacts to choose what they want and when they want it. Finally a further key idea is testing, understanding the most effective tone, imagery or subject line will ensure firms are evolving with what's engaging.

Former Mount Ida students sue, accusing college leaders of fraud
By Laura Krantz Globe Staff,November 26, 2018, 10:03 a.m.
Tristan Squeri, a former Mount Ida College student, is one of three plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit against the now-shuttered school.(Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff)
Former students of Mount Ida College sued their former school Monday, accusing its leaders of fraud, misleading students, and violating student privacy.
The complaint, which the plaintiffs hope to have certified as a class-action suit, names the college, its trustees, as well as its former CFO and two other administrators as defendants. It was filed Monday morning in federal court in Boston. Attorneys for the college disputed the claims.
The suit comes eight months after the small liberal arts college in Newton abruptly announced that it would close. The news shocked students and staff and left them scrambling to find new schools and jobs.
Mount Ida College sold its 75-acre campus to UMass Amherst, which has turned it into an outpost for students to complete Boston-area internships and other programs.
State Attorney General Maura Healey is also investigating Mount Ida because of similar questions about whether its leaders acted in the best interest of the school. After the closure, leaders testified that they had known for several years that it was "teetering on the brink of bankruptcy," according to the lawsuit.
The closure left students in degree programs that were discontinued and credits that could not be transferred, and many students lost their scholarships and other forms of financial aid, the suit alleges.
"This could have been avoided," the complaint says. "Yet, by closing abruptly, Mount Ida denied its students the opportunity to continue with their bargained for education, and their actions prevented some from enrolling in other institutions of higher education or pursuing their intended degrees altogether."
The suit argues that Mount Ida had a chance to explain its financial situation to students and staff when it announced that it was going to merge with nearby Lasell College, but the suit contends that the school was not transparent about its reasons for trying to merge. Ultimately the merger did not happen.
It alleges that while Mount Ida leaders were "actively concealing the true nature of Mount Ida's financial difficulties from its students, the defendants were also falsely holding Mount Ida out as a financially viable institution to [accreditors,] among others."
And the suit alleges that while former Mount Ida president Barry Brown and others were assuring students that Mount Ida was viable, "they were simultaneously concealing the fact that Mount Ida was already seriously engaged in discussions with the University of Massachusetts system to sell its land and shutter the college."
Brown did not respond to a request for comment.
The plaintiffs are Tristan Squeri, of Burlington, a former graphic design student at Mount Ida who now attends Lesley University; George O'Dea, of Brookline, a former funeral services major who is now enrolled in the funeral program started this year by Cape Cod Community College to accommodate the Mount Ida students; and Madeline McClain, of Westhampton, N.J., who had applied and been accepted to Mount Ida.
O'Dea and McClain could not be reached; Squeri declined to comment through public relations specialist Steve Crawford, who is working on behalf of the plaintiffs.
The college and its trustees are represented by Holland & Knight, a firm that has represented the school in the past. It is also Brown's former workplace. In a statement on Monday, a spokeswoman for the firm said the allegations "rely upon incorrect information published erroneously in old media stories and statements twisted out of context."
The statement said those claims are "meritless and will be vigorously defended by the college, its former officers, and its trustees, all of whom worked compassionately and tirelessly to provide realistic transition opportunities for all students following the college's closure, and fully cooperated with the attorney general's investigation."
The complaint tells how McClain had turned down offers from other colleges because of the generous scholarship Mount Ida had promised. But by the time she found out Mount Ida was closing, it was too late to attend the other schools because enrollment deadlines had passed.
"The sudden closure of Mount Ida deprived enrolled and prospective students of their ability to meaningfully consider alternate schools, and Mount Ida knew this," the suit says.
The suit specifically names Carmin Reiss, the chairwoman of the board at the time the school closed, citing her testimony at a state Senate oversight hearing that she knew as early as 2014 that the school was facing financial difficulty but intentionally did not inform current or prospective students. Reiss did not respond to a request for comment on Monday.
The suit also mentions the fact that Mount Ida officials provided sensitive personal information about its students to UMass Dartmouth without permission from students.
The suit is funded by Bob Hildreth, a former businessman and higher education philanthropist. Students are represented by attorneys Andra Hutchins, Michael Tauer, and Joshua Garick.
The suit does not specify an exact amount of money that students are seeking to recover. They would likely seek compensation to make up for higher tuition they have had to pay elsewhere, scholarships they lost, or extra courses they have had to take when their credits did not transfer.
The suit could be influential for the higher education industry as a whole. Specialists in the field expect more small colleges to close in the near future, and no school wants to end up like Mount Ida. Experts have closely watched the closure from the beginning.
In a press release sent by Crawford, Hildreth called the lawsuit "a shot across the bow of all colleges that if you are going to merge with, purchase or replace another college, you must first protect the rights of your students."

GRAND FALLS-WINDSOR, NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR--(Marketwired - June 13, 2013) - MADD Canada's Newfoundland and Labrador Chapters and Community Leaders are honouring victims of impaired driving with a Candlelight Service of Hope and Remembrance on June 15th.
Family and friends of those who have been killed in impairment-related crashes, and people who have themselves been injured, will be joined by special guests including the Honourable Frank F. Fagan, Lieutenant Governor of Newfoundland and Labrador and Members of the House of Assembly for the candlelight vigil. Following the ceremony, guests will go to nearby Centennial Park for a commemorative ceremony at the Provincial Monument which has been engraved with the names of victims.
Date & Time: Saturday, June 15, 2013 at 2 p.m.
The Provincial Monument for victims of impaired driving was initiated by the members of the MADD Exploits Valley Chapter. With sponsorship from Central Funeral Homes and Nelson Monuments, and approval for the site granted by the Town of Grand Falls-Windsor, the monument was first unveiled in 2011 with 23 names engraved. Thirteen names will be added this year.


Want to be notified of new releases in clj-grenada/grenada-spec?
(Listen also to the BBC).
for developers: provide structured information in addition to doc strings. ✈ Annotate Clojure objects that don't support doc strings with easily accessible documentation (to be implemented).
This repo houses the Grenada specification. Start with reading the overview.
It also houses other things which I couldn't find a better place for. This, for example, ended up to be the home page of the Grenada project. The project structure will be improved in a visible future.
There are two names which might sound new to you: Grenada and Datadoc. I am worried that having two names will cause confusion, but I can't settle on one of them. 'Grenada' is not desirable as a classifier for JARs. 'Datadoc' is already used by several, although minor, entities in the software world and therefore won't do as a name for the whole creation.
So, endowing you with two new names, I will at least try to keep them unentangled, thus: Grenada is the name of the project, of the model and the data format defined in the spec, i. e. the name of most things. If you're not sure whether to call something Grenada something or Datadoc something, Grenada something is the safe bet. The library that implements the spec is called lib-grenada for that reason.
Datadoc always has to do with JAR files. datadoc is the classifier for JARs that contain data in the Grenada format. You could also call it Datadoc data, but there is not rule about that. The Leiningen plugin is called lein-datadoc, because its main task is producing and deploying Datadoc JARs.
Datadoc is more about concretions: concrete data, concrete JARs. Grenada is more about abstractions: the Grenada model, the Grenada format, the Grenada spec.
JARs with Clojure code have versions and Things use these versions in their version coordinate. Datadoc JARs also have versions and they contain Things with version coordinates. However, the version of a Datadoc JAR doesn't have to be coupled to the version coordinates of the Things it contains. You may choose to relate it in some way, but by no means have to.
I promise that the versioning conundrum will get even worse with different versions of Bar types and Aspects. Proposals for solutions appreciated.
Here a list of tools, libraries etc. that are more or less closely related (in spirit) with Grenada.
These are sources of documentation whose contents could be packaged in Datadoc JARs.
Clojure Reference Documentation: the official Clojure documentation – often terse and with few examples.
Clojure Cheat Sheet: helps you find what you want in the official Clojure docs and selected external libraries.
ClojureDocs: attempt to patch over the official documentation's terseness with community-contributed notes, examples and see-alsos – easy to use and contribute to, but centered around JVM Clojure and not very structured.
Clojure Grimoire: similar to ClojureDocs, but highly structured and with support for arbitrary libraries on many Clojure platforms. Utilizes the aforementioned cheat sheet for easy navigation. Contributing is a little more tedious than in ClojureDocs. Offers libraries for programmatic access.
Thalia: extensions to the doc strings of core Clojure namespaces that you can load into your REPL.
Suchwow: assortment of stuff, which also contains some doc string extensions like Thalia.
cljs.info: something like emancipating ClojureScript documentation from Clojure documentation. Also allows community contributions. Quite useful.
These tools could build on the Grenada format or Datadoc JARs.
Codeq: imports Git history of Clojure (and potentially other) projects into Datomic, so that you can query it somewhat semantically.
CrossClj: pretty impressive (and confusing) site. Lets you search and browse the majority of Clojure libraries, their source code, documentation and, most of all, interrelations. It wouldn't make sense to build this entirely on top of Grenada, but Grenada could be a part of the foundation.
Codox: generates static HTML from doc strings in Clojure and ClojureScript code.
Autodoc: same purpose as Codox, but only for JVM Clojure, as far as I see. Used for creating the official Clojure API documentation.
Hydrox: a sensible approach to documentation. A tool that doesn't just dump HTML-ified doc strings, but that allows you to write beautifully formatted and structured documentation and even checks your code examples. Datadoc JARs could be used as a distribution format. With a bit of glue code it should be easy to attach all the Hydrox data to Things.
Clojars: hosts JARs of Clojure libraries and also Datadoc JARs.
lib-grimoire: library behind Clojure Grimoire (mentioned above). Supports querying, reading and writing data about concrete Clojure things in the Grimoire format. Grenada draws on the Grimoire format and lib-grimoire.
lein-grim: Leiningen 'plugin' that can be used to extract documentation data from Clojure code.
These don't have much to do with Grenada, other than that they're also about Clojure documentation.
Clojure Cookbook: recipes for accomplishing common tasks in Clojure.
clojure-doc.org: tutorials and topical guides on Clojure.
Except for a few commits in the beginning, branching and merging in all repositories under Grenada follows Driessen's model. Versions and releases in this repository are those of the specification.
The repositories grouped under https://github.com/clj-grenada are all in some way related to Grenada development.

Spaza shops are the backbone of South Africa's township economy and form a most visible and vivid backdrop to the vibrancy of township life. They are symbols illustrating the dichotomy of South Africa's economy, as these makeshift retail spaces in residential areas stand in stark contrast to the consumer landscapes of the formal economy such as malls.
Spaza shops, which began appearing in the mid-1970s, derive their name from the vernacular township slang word meaning an "imitation" of a real shop. From the Zulu verb "isiphazamisa", "spaza" also means "hindrance" or "annoyance", possibly referring to the way in which these shops were either viewed by privileged segments of society and larger retail outlets or by those that lived close to them and became annoyed by foot traffic and noise. However, today, the tide has been reversed as several hindrances or barriers are besieging spaza shop owners today.
Tracing the history of spaza shops reveals how this informal sector of the retail economy is entrenched in the legacy of discrimination and a history of struggle. Some see the spaza shop as a by-product of racial segregation policies, which once pursued and pushed forward a strategy of separate development, seeking to suppress the spirit of black African business, commerce and trading opportunities, only to ignite entrepreneurship from the home or garage.
Tracing the history of spaza shops reveals how this informal sector of the retail economy is entrenched in the legacy of discrimination and a history of struggle.
In recent years and following the dawn of South Africa's democratisation, the spaza shop has at times become a focus of conflict, which has revealed underlying tensions between township residents and people of foreign culture. This is a growing issue not only in South Africa but also in many other parts of the world, partly due to the widespread espousing of neoliberal economic globalisation policies and partly due to institutional failure.
We often view the spaza shop as something very South African – part of a unique cultural heritage. A study by Unisa's Bureau of Market Research (BMR) estimated that 300 000 jobs are created by the spaza economy and that it contributes R9 billion to the economy per annum.
However, it is not an exclusively South African enterprise as the majority of shops are owned and operated by immigrant traders and foreign nationals. To a degree, it is perhaps the largest form of foreign direct investment in the country. There is also nothing strange or nefarious about spaza shops being owned by foreign nationals. In fact, we can argue that it is a hallmark of how South Africa has liberalised its economy, eroding trade barriers and opening up its borders – standard features of all liberal economies, which by definition welcome a free flow of people, goods, services and investment. We can also name many other foreign national companies operating in South Africa in the formal sector of the economy.
It is, therefore, important to take stock of the performance of South African small business owners operating in the shadow of the formal economy in retail. If there is a genuine commitment by the private and public sector to improve growth in the South African economy, a focus must fall on working to remove the barriers that prohibit sustainable growth for South African spaza shop owners.
A recent study by the Sustainable Livelihoods Foundation, "The Informal Economy of Township Spaza Shops", found that South African-owned spaza shops are less competitive than foreign-run spazas.
Foreign business owners of spaza shops tend to lay out more capital in informal retail startup ventures than their South African counterparts do. The study showed that the average value of the startup investment in a spaza shop for foreign shop-owners is R45 000 compared to R1 500 to R5 000 invested by South African small-business entrepreneurs.
A recent FinMark Trust study showed there is inadequate knowledge among small business owners of the benefit of credit as a financial tool. Participants in the survey indicated that they do not borrow money because they do not need it or do not believe in borrowing money. A smaller percentage of candidates do not borrow funds because they are scared or feel they do not qualify for a loan.
Having access to formal credit that will ensure enterprise growth will improve the growth of spaza shops in general. Programs geared to facilitate access to credit should target especially the poorer provinces in our country, where smaller businesses rely on finance that is more informal. Improved access is necessary for large firms.
According to Small Business Connect, an online publication, in May 2015, the Minister of Small Business Development, Lindiwe Zulu said the department would also look to reduce by-laws and red tape and draw up plans to review policy to enable market access and proper registration of businesses.
Credit provision should be supported by extensive skills development programmes, because spaza shop owners are being held back by a combination of inadequate retail and merchandising knowledge. Also, spaza shop owners have insufficient bargaining power to effectively negotiate discounts, which puts them at a disadvantage.
Crime is another problem that spaza shop owners face. Interestingly, there is a relationship between crime and pricing, as discussed in a research article on competition and violence in the spaza sector in South Africa.
Government should continue to find better ways to help this industry grow and equip shop owners with the necessary business skills to run and manage their stores. More business skills training must be provided by the DTI, the Department of Small Business Development, local business chambers, and the Wholesale and Retail Sector Education and Authority (W&RSETA).
We have also not really seen spaza business incubators – this type of initiative can really stimulate growth and sustainability.
South Africa needs to help spaza shop owners grow this informal economic industry. Government should partner with NGOs or even training institutions to provide business skills courses to equip spaza shop owners with the necessary skills and training needed to run a business successfully.
With limited space to stock products in bulk, spaza shop owners are forced to purchase their goods in smaller quantities, which limits the opportunity to grow their businesses into more successful and larger enterprises.
Spaza shops in general rely on wholesalers and distribution centres for their wares, mainly commodity items, as the quantities they purchase can never match wholesalers nor warrant a direct account with a manufacturing supplier. This further hinders growth. Due to smaller quantities purchased over a basket of limited items stocked, negotiating power with a supplier is limited.
All these challenges raise questions regarding the sustainability of small retailers and confirm that there is a need for local traders to be empowered with skills to manage their businesses better for their own survival.
• The muti market is worth R2.9bn, employing almost 150 000 people and serving 27-million customers.
• There are more than 100 000 spaza shops (informal fast-moving consumer goods retailers) turning over about R46bn/year, with typical turnover per outlet ranging from R30 000-R200 000 a month.
• There are 500 000 hawkers or table-top vendors earning R1 500-R3 000 each a month in profit.
• There are 50 000 informal food takeaway shops selling everything from the kota burger to vetkoek and shisanyama. The bigger amaplate food trucks can turn over R50 000 a day seven days a week.
• There are 150 000 hair salons, ranging from home backrooms to colourful corrugated iron structures that sell styling and hair pieces worth million.

The Women Behind Two and a Half Men
Danielle Propheta
IMDB/CBS
Two and a Half Men's Charlie, Alan, and Jake had one of the most exciting bachelor lifestyles together. Stretching over the course of 13 years and 12 seasons, the show saw many adventures and many talented actresses, some of whom were relatively unknown at the time when they appeared on the show. But these women who helped make the series what it is have used their talent in many other remarkable ways, too.
1. Denise Richards as Lisa
In spite of being obviously in love with her, Charlie is unable to maintain a relationship with Lisa since she wants a committed relationship, something that Charlie is unable to do. Featured in just two episodes in seasons one and two, Charlie makes a few attempts at showing her that he's changed, which she sees through immediately.
Noel Vasquez/Getty Images
Not only did Denise Richards' Lisa date Charlie Sheen's Charlie, but in real life the two actors were an actual couple for several years, and have two daughters together. When she's not busy being a mom of three, Richards maintains a bustling acting career, appearing in hits like The Bold and the Beautiful, The Secret Lives of Cheerleaders, and Jane the Virgin.
2. Kimberly Quinn as Donna
After meeting Alan on a blind date in the season five episode, "Dum Diddy Dum Diddy Doo," the two have a brief relationship before Alan, bored with the romance, abruptly breaks it off. Donna is played by Kimberly Quinn, also known for her roles in the FX series Terriers and ABC Family show, Twisted.
David Cooper/Toronto Star via Getty Images
While Quinn has had numerous roles in various television shows since 1995, it appears as though the former Two and a Half Men guest star has decided to transition towards film acting. Her most recent short film, The Take Off, was released in 2018 and two of her upcoming films Follow Me, and The Starling (which she also gets a producer credit on) are due to be released in the near future.
3. Kelly Stables as Melissa
Melissa is Alan's former receptionist and later girlfriend, whose tumultuous relationship with the Harper brothers takes place throughout seasons six, seven, and eight. The actress who played Melissa, Kelly Stables, is no stranger to television acting, and is known for her roles as Eden Konkler on The Exes and Kelly on Superstore.
Tommaso Boddi/Getty Images for Mediaplacement
Stables' career isn't just relegated to the small screen though. The St. Louis, MO native has been acting on the silver screen since 2002 after she landed her first role in the Spider-Man film starring Tobey Maguire. Stables' most recent film role was in 2014's Horrible Bosses 2, however, as it looks like the actress chose to focus on television and voice acting.
4. April Bowlby as Kandi
Actress April Bowlby plays Kandi, Alan's sweet and innocent second ex-wife. While the character isn't exactly portrayed as the brightest bulb in the drawer, she is able to maintain a positive relationship with Alan after their divorce, unlike his drama-filled relationship with ex-wife number one, Judith.
Duffy-Marie Arnoult/WireImage
Previously a model, the Vallejo, CA native secured the role of Kandi within months after first appearing in audition rooms in Hollywood. Since then, Bowlby has become very familiar with the glow of the limelight and one of her her latest projects, the 2019 television show Doom Patrol, features her starring as Rita Farr, aka Elasti-Girl, in the DC universe.
5. Megan Fox as Prudence
Before starring next to Shia LaBeouf in the blockbuster hit Transformers, Megan Fox played Berta's flirtatious granddaughter in one episode of the first season of Two and a Half Men. In that episode, Berta, very protective of her adventurous granddaughter, forces her to follow her around everywhere and becomes progressively more annoyed as the guys are unable to leave her side.
Fox's career didn't take off until after her role in 2007's Transformers and its sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Recently, in 2014 and 2016, Fox played the role of April O'Neil, the Ninja Turtles' first human ally in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies, and has roles in no less than three upcoming films whose release dates fans are excitedly anticipating.
NEXT: You probably didn't realize this, but this next award winning actress was on Two and a Half Men.
6. Courtney Thorne-Smith as Lyndsey McElroy
Alan first meets Lyndsey McElroy after her son, Eldridge, is discovered to have convinced Jake to try and steal beer from Charlie. Whereas Alan's intent was to tell on Eldridge, he quickly forgets about the beer incident after becoming enamored by Lyndsey and the two begin dating. She then becomes a major character in the series from season seven onward.

Film Industry Digest lists the actress behind Lyndsey, Courtney Thorne-Smith, as one of those Hollywood gems who "hasn't gotten the type of credit that she deserves." Her knack for working on successful shows non-stop from 1992 to 2015 hasn't gone unnoticed by everyone though, and today Thorne-Smith has chosen to stay with television, appearing in back to back television roles for the past 3 years.
7. Marin Hinkle as Judith Harper-Melnick
One of the more complicated relationships of the show, Marin Hinkle plays Alan's first ex-wife and Jake's biological mother, Judith Harper-Melnick. While their behavior towards each other is often cold, the series hints that Alan may still harbor suppressed feelings for his ex, particularly when he begins having dreams of her.
After the show ended in 2015, Hinkle went on to make quite a name for herself, and earned critical acclaim for her role as Rose Weissman on the Amazon Prime Video series, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. The show itself has been the recipient of numerous accolades, with Hinkle receiving an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in 2019 for her work on the show.
8. Jennifer Taylor as Chelsea Melini
Chelsea Melina wasn't just Charlie Harper's ex-fiancé, she was one of the few women on the series who he truly loved. Chelsea (played by Jennifer Taylor) and Charlie's relationship took place in season six and throughout most of season seven. Ultimately, her story line ended after she broke off the engagement with Charlie – and starts dating Alan's attorney instead.

Before getting the role on Two and a Half Men, actress Jennifer Taylor was planning on quitting acting and moving back to Florida to become a teacher instead, but the role ended up changing those plans. She is still living in Los Angeles with her husband and two children and most recently appeared in the 2018 film, God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness.
9. Emmanuelle Vaugier as Mia
With multiple acting credits in television, film, and video games to her name, Emmanuelle Vaugier's almost 25 year career includes her role in 10 episodes on Two and a Half Men. There Vaugier played Mia, Charlie's ex-fiancé who tries to pressure him into living a healthier lifestyle in season three, causing the relationship to inevitably fall apart.

More recently, Vaugier took a role in the TV movie, Killer Ending, which premiered in 2018. But she hasn't always been a television star. Vaugier's noteworthy film accolades include appearances in the popular horror franchise Saw. Additionally, the Canadian-born actress starred alongside legendary actors Michael Caine and Robert Duvall in 2003's Secondhand Lions.
10. Allison Janney as Beverly
Academy Award winning actress, Allison Janney made a brief, one episode appearance on Two and a Half Men's season four as one of Alan's love interests. On that one fateful episode, Alan invites Beverly over to Charlie's place, but instead of being truthful, he lies tells her it's his in order to impress her.
Paul Morigi/Getty Images for Capital Concerts
Who wouldn't be tempted to lie in order to impress the one and only Allison Janney? Not only has she won an Oscar, but this incredibly accomplished actress is also the recipient of seven Emmy Awards, a BAFTA, and a Golden Globe. Most recently, Janney had roles in three 2019 films, Bad Education and The Addams Family, and Bombshell alongside Margot Robbie and Charlize Theron.
NEXT: She might not have been recognizable then, but this actress' career took off after this spotlight appearance.
11. Jeri Ryan as Sherri
Considered by Charlie to be the female version of himself, Sherri is a formidable woman who is able to manipulate both Charlie and Alan by skillfully playing hard to get. She is only featured in three episodes, two in season two and one in season nine.
Albert L. Ortega/Getty Images
It might be a surprising realization, but the actress behind Sherri, Jeri Ryan, is actually less known for roles in comedy series but rather for playing the Borg drone, Seven of Nine, in the acclaimed Star Trek: Voyager. Ryan's performance was so good that she was nominated four times for a Saturn Award (winning once) and will reprise her role in the upcoming CBS series, Star Trek: Picard.
12. Brooke Shields as Danielle Stewart
Played by Brooke Shields, Danielle Stewart appears in season four's episode, "That's Summer Sausage, Not Salami." Danielle is Charlie and Alan's wealthy next door neighbor.

13. Kimberly Williams-Paisley as Gretchen Martin
Appearing as a recurring character throughout season eleven, Gretchen Martin used to date Alan thinking he was "Jeff Strongman," his alter ego.

Jason Kempin/Getty Images
Williams-Paisley has been acting since 1990 and hasn't stopped since. Her most recent work includes a role in the 2019 television movie, Witness to Murder. This busy actress is also set to star in an unannounced role in the upcoming drama film, The Violent Heart.
14. Judy Greer as Bridget Schmidt

Walden is accompanied by ex-wife Bridget Schmidt who, while appearing to be sweet and innocent, soon shows a more devilish side and quickly becomes the antagonist of the season.
Sonia Recchia/Getty Images for RBC
When it comes to actress Judy Greer, it seems as though this Hollywood star is never far from a major film or television set. In 2019, Greer had starring and supporting roles in more than a few films and TV shows, including the animated series Archer, Playing with Fire, and Kidding alongside Jim Carrey.
15. Sophie Winkleman as Zoey Hyde-Tottingham-Pierce
Much like her real-life counterpart Sophie Winkleman, the Two and a Half Men character with the mouthful of a name, Zoey Hyde-Tottingham-Pierce was born in the United Kingdom. Unlike the actress, Zoey, Walden's ex-girlfriend, is an attorney at law. She was his first love interest since his split from his ex-fiancé, Bridget Schmidt.
Pool-Max Mumby/Getty Images
Born in Primrose Hill, London, actress Sophie Winkleman is also known as Lady Frederick Windsor, as she is married to Lord Frederick Windsor, the Queen's second cousin.

NEXT: Most people aren't aware that this famous star once had an appearance on Two and a Half Men.
16. Melanie Lynskey as Rose
One of the main characters of the show, Rose becomes obsessed with Charlie after a brief romantic encounter and eventually advances to moving in next door. After that, she starts to stalk Charlie at every opportunity. After eight years, Rose's persistence pays off and she runs off to Paris with Charlie. Post his off-screen death, Rose sets her sights on a new man – Walden Schmidt.
Arya Diaz-Getty Images for Hulu
The Two in a Half Men star is played by award winning actress, Melanie Lynskey who is, a prominent figure in the independent film industry. Recently, the New Zealand-born actress had a starring role as Molly Strand on the 2018 Hulu series, Castle Rock and is currently filming an upcoming 2020 series, Mrs. America.
17. Ming-Na Wen as Linda Harris
Throughout season five, Linda Harris, played by Ming-Na Wen, is a judge who becomes enamored with Charlie and decides to give him a second chance. She later becomes Charlie's girlfriend, but the relationship is short lived, and Linda leaves Charlie after seeing a compromising photo of him in the newspaper.
Timothy Hiatt/FilmMagic
Actress Ming-Na Wen is best known for her work in television, but animated film fans are most likely to know her as the voice behind Disney favorite Mulan. More recently, Wen seems to have had a busy 2019, having acting credits in multiple TV series and one short film. Fans of the actress are gearing up to watch her in the upcoming Disney+ series, The Mandalorian, which takes place in the Star Wars universe.
18. Heather Locklear as Laura
Appearing in the 21st episode of season one, Laura Lang is Alan's expensive, Beverly Hills based divorce attorney, who after a brief and sudden romantic relationship with Charlie, takes revenge by trying to mess up Alan's divorce proceedings.
Amanda Edwards/Discovery via Getty Images
Before her guest appearance on Two and a Half Men, Heather Locklear was already an award winning actress, having won four Golden Globes consecutively for her work on Melrose Place (1993-1999). After a brief break from television and cinema, Locklear returned to focus on acting, with her most recent role being a recurring guest-star role on Tyler Perry's TLC drama, Too Close to Home.
19. Gail O'Grady as Mandi
Gail O'Grady played the very brief role of Mandi, Kandi's mother. Mandi has a two episode-long passionate relationship with Charlie during season three of Two and a Half Men, before their it was discovered by Alan, his first ex-wife Judith, and Mandi herself.
Maury Phillip/WireImage
Acting since 1986, Gail O'Grady has landed a number of lead roles on television series and TV movies. Her work has even earned her three Primetime Emmy Award nominations. O'Grady doesn't seem as though she's slowing down any time soon , however, and she was recently featured on TV movie, Identity of a Cheerleader, and also as a recurring character on Criminal Minds.
20. Miley Cyrus as Missi
Described as quirky and odd, albeit well-meaning and kind, Missi is Jake's girlfriend who he eventually goes AWOL from the army for. After confessing his feelings for her, Missi, feeling uncomfortable, tells Jake that she isn't ready for a real relationship and convinces him to go back to the army.
Dave J Hogan/Getty Images
At only 26 years old, Miley Cyrus has already released her seventh studio album, "She is Miley Cyrus," which debuted as three, six-song EPs throughout 2019. Cyrus also had a leading role on an episode of Netflix's popular science fiction series, Black Mirror. More recently, Cyrus teamed up with fellow songstresses Ariana Grande and Lana Del Rey for the theme song of the 2019 film Charlie's Angels.
21. Missi Pyle as Miss Pasternak
One of Charlie's many girlfriends, Missi Pyle's character is Miss Pasternak, Jake's fifth grade teacher who suspends him after he gives her a rude gesture. Two and a Half Men was hardly Missi Pyle's first guest appearance on a popular series however, having also worked on popular shows like Heroes, Frasier, and Friends.
Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images
Considered to be a very versatile actress, Pyle has taken roles in everything from comedies, to horror flicks, and even award-winning dramas. Her 2019 work involved appearances in the drama biopic Walk. Ride. Rodeo, along with horror film, Ma. This was in addition to her television work with Drunk History and Bob Hearts Abishola.
22. Krista Allen as Olivia Pearson
Olivia Pearson has a very brief appearance on Two and a Half Men. While it is revealed that she and Charlie had dated at one point, the relationship is never shown. Rather, after meeting at a party, the two engage in a very serious conversation which quickly breaks down and results in Olivia throwing a drink in Charlie's face before storming off.
Michael Caulfield/WireImage
Model/actress Krista Allen is known both for her film appearances as well as her work in television. She appeared on the television series Days of Our Lives, as well as the popular show Baywatch along with her roles in the films The Final Destination and Anger Management. Recently, her career has involved more TV movies releasing Party Mom in 2018 and I Almost Married A Serial Killer in 2019.
23. Jaime Pressly as Tammy
Only appearing in two episodes in season ten, Tammy nonetheless shocked fans (not to mention Alan and Walder) after she began dating Alan's son Jake, despite being nearly double his age. The two inevitably fell out and Tammy found solace with Schmidt, who is closer to her in age and in maturity.
Paul Archuleta/Getty Images
Born in Kinston, North Carolina, Jaime Pressly is known for both film and TV work but found her greatest career successes working in television, namely the NBC sitcom My Name is Earl. Her work on the show earned her an Emmy Award as well as numerous other prestigious nominations.
24. Teri Hatcher as Liz
Appearing in one episode aptly named, "I Remember The Coatroom, I Just Don't Remember You," Liz pretends not to remember Charlie after a brief encounter. This seriously bothers him since Charlie is used to having the upper hand in relationships with women and not the other way around.
Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images for New York Comic Con
Liz is played by Teri Hatcher, who is most recognizable for her portrayal of Lois Lane on the series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, as well as Susan on Desperate Housewives. Acting isn't Teri Hatcher's only skill, though – she's also a talented cook, and has even won an episode in season 17 of the popular Food Network cooking competition, Chopped.
25. Holland Taylor as Evelyn Harper
Appearing in 98 episodes, Holland Taylor played Evelyn Harper, the self-absorbed and conceited mother of Charlie and Alan. Two and a Half Men got lucky hiring Taylor, a Primetime Emmy Award winning actress for her work playing Judge Roberta Kittleson in The Practice. The famed actress has also lit up the theater stage with her work, and was nominated for a Tony in 2013.
Nowadays the Two and a Half Men star is still very active in film and television. The actress is set to appear in two upcoming films in 2020, including the classic Bill & Ted sequel, Bill & Ted Face the Music. Together with partner, award winning actress Sarah Paulson, Holland Taylor is a true powerhouse.

Did anyone else have this Wildlife Treasury when they were little? I did, and I loved looking through all of the animal's photos inside. I found this one at the thrift last year and gave it to Guini for her birthday.
The kids like to pull out the most gruesome animals they can find and shove them in my face trying to scare me. It almost never works.
Guini wasn't in the picture-taking mood on this day. I understand – I don't always like getting my photo taken either.
I'm loving the perfect little freckles!!

#Crucial21DbW: Steven Universe: The Movie directed by Rebecca Sugar
From LGBTQ+ issues to body image to identity to change, Rebecca Sugar shined a light on topics society has been afraid to speak about for the past 6 years. She is the first woman to create a series, Steven Universe, on Cartoon Network.
From LGBTQ+ issues to body image to identity to change, Rebecca Sugar shined a light on topics society has been afraid to speak about for the past 6 years. She is the first woman to create a series, Steven Universe, on Cartoon Network. In addition, Steven Universe is the first show on a mainstream children's channel to feature a same-sex proposal and wedding. Although the fifth season concluded the series' original story, Sugar continued it with the movie that follows the events from the season five finale.
At the start of the movie, the four main characters Steven and the Crystal Gems (Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl) are celebrating the end of their journey of restoring peace to the world and independence for Earth. Their celebration is cut short when a mysterious gem by the name of Spinel plots revenge on Steven, injecting the Earth with what she calls "bio poison" that will destroy the Earth in a matter of hours. Steven must save the planet once again in his own way: through communication, not violence.
One of the themes in the movie comes from the Spinel's arc. She believed she was playing a game with her "best friend," then finds out her "best friend" abandoned her and made other friends on Earth. This experience drove Spinel to attack the planet; even after sharing her feelings with Steven, she believes she will be abandoned again. Spinel's arc reveals it is okay to feel hurt, but it is necessary to adapt from experiences instead of dwelling on them and expecting others to adapt for you.
Another theme the movie expresses is that "happily ever after" does not exist. Part of Steven's arc is his fighting for the happy ending he had. After his experience with Spinel, he adapted and realized there is no "happily ever after;" life will always present new challenges.
I believe this movie is crucial to watch. It teaches adaptation and communication through the themes in Spinel and Steven's arc. Even if you're just tuning in to the series, the movie introduces the characters and story in the first 15 minutes; plus, the movie has a composition of over 30 catchy scores and songs.
Steven Universe: The Movie is available to stream on Amazon, Google Play, Vudu, and YouTube. Follow Rebecca Sugar on Instagram and Twitter.

Moulay Abdallah Ibrahim (; * 24. August 1918 in der Provinz Al Haouz; † 11. September 2005 in Casablanca) war der Premier- und Außenminister Marokkos von Dezember 1958 bis Mai 1960.

Frühe Jahre
Abdallah Ibrahim studierte an der Ibn-Jussuf-Universität in Marrakesh und der Sorbonne in Paris. Von 1944 bis 1959 war er Mitglied der bürgerlich-nationalistischen Istiqlal-Partei (Unabhängigkeitspartei) und arbeitete 1950 bis 1952 in der Redaktion des Istiqlal-Organs "Al Alam", weswegen er 1952 bis 1954 inhaftiert wurde.

Regierung und Opposition
In der ersten Nationalregierung des unabhängigen Marokko war Ibrahim 1955–56 Staatssekretär (Staatsminister) für Information und Tourismus. 1956–57 war er Minister für Arbeit und Soziales. Ende 1958 wurde er von König Mohammed V. zum Premierminister und Außenminister ernannt.

Ibrahim war bemüht, die Souveränität Marokkos zu festigen und seine Wirtschaft zu entwickeln. Während seiner Regierung wurde das Regime der "Offenen Tür" beseitigt und die Zollhoheit Marokkos wiederhergestellt. Im Zusammenhang mit dem Ifni-Krieg gewann Marokko 1958 das Tarfaya-Gebiet (Südmarokko) von Spanien zurück.

Ibrahims antiimperialistisch-nationaldemokratischer Kurs und sein von Frankreich und den USA allzu unabhängiger Kurs (Bemühen um Auflösung der Militärstützpunkte, Anlehnung an die Casablanca-Gruppe) führte im Januar 1959 zur Spaltung der Istiqlal-Partei und am 20. Mai 1960 zu Ibrahims Abberufung durch den König. Der König übernahm die Regierungsgeschäfte bis zu seinem Tod am 26. Februar 1961.

Nationalunion der Volkskräfte
Bei der Spaltung der Istiqlal-Partei schloss sich Ibrahim dem von Mehdi Ben Barka und Muhammad Basri geführten radikalen (linken) Flügel an, der sich zur Union Nationale des Forces Populaires (UNFP) formierte. Von 1959 bis 1972 war Ibrahim Generalsekretär der UNFP, die zwischen Istiqlal-Partei und Kommunistischer Partei agierte.

Fair-a-porter: What's the definition of style at almasanta?
almasanta: 'Green is the new black' – the almasanta style DNA goes from smart to casual. And it is essentially minimalist because it's based on sustainable items with outstanding quality.
Fair-a-porter: Who's your all-time fashion inspiration?
almasanta: There are many incredible fashion designers but when it comes to the sustainability aspect you have to take a closer look. I truly believe that Jessica Alba, Stella McCartney and Gwyneth Paltrow have reshaped the traditional view on fashion and are all inspiring advocats of sustainable and ethical fashion.
My Nr. 6 Looks just like me, that's why!
Fair-a-porter: What are the perks of building a sustainable fashion business?
almasanta: A great percentage of shoppers are not yet educated about sustainability in fashion and through almasanta we can impact the general awareness of this matter. Most people still believe they have to choose between style and sustainability. At almasanta, we offer brands who cover both so that it's no longer a compromise. And that's probably the biggest perk: working with young inspiring designers while shaping the future of fashion or at least its ethical aspect is really rewarding. We experienced a whole new level of energy through building this business – a positive strong vibe that comes from within.
Fair-a-porter: What's the best tune to get dressed to in the morning?
almasanta: '123 Magic' by Spacek always puts me in a good mood! It's the kind of song that makes you want to throw on a good blue jean (ReDone, for me, are the best) and a nice knit and feel fabulous.
My Nr.7 – Alix is my lucky number 7 at the beach!

HAPPY NOTES: Singing Accolades for Mrs. Cathy!
I'll listen and watch Mrs. Cathy!
Mrs. Cathy recalls the 'happy accident' that brought Everett and his Grandma into their first WeJoySing class. "They were new in town and decided to check out the community center to see what programs might be available. By chance, they did this on a Thursday morning, and someone at the center directed them to my class, which, also by chance, was the exact age group for Everett. They joined in enthusiastically and signed up for the session as soon as class ended." Grandma Elizabeth pointed out that Everett's Great Grandfather was a musician and high school band director for years, so it was exciting to share pictures with him of his grandson was learning all about music!!
I'll figure out how this thing works!!
Elizabeth loves that Everett was "learning to respect elders, teachers and other friends along with opening up and discovering the joy of music! I feel it was a very important first class with such a positive environment as we learn to listen to music, sing, share and follow directions!" What a fantastic experience for all involved. Come see for yourself, the magic of playful, joyful, musical memory making!

A tragic news for Albanian footballer has arrived from Sweden.
Footballer Labinot Harbuzi, originating from Kosovo, passed out after a severe heart attack.
The circumstances are still unclear for the death of the 32-year-old, who has also played for Asian teams Prespa Birilik and Melaka United.
He has also played for Malmo, Gencerberligin, Manisaspor and Syrianska.
