The Outer Worlds is a new single-player, sci-fi role-playing game with a first-person perspective, on which Obsidian Entertainment and Private Division are working.
In The Outer Worlds, you wake up after hibernating on a ship of settlers that disappeared on the way to Alcyone, the farthest earthly colony on the edge of the galaxy. You find yourself in the center of a large-scale conspiracy that threatens the existence of the entire colony. The character you created will be able to influence the course of this story by exploring the depths of space and meeting numerous groups that are fighting for power. In the corporate colony equation system, a new unpredictable variable arises - it´s you.
- A role-playing game where the player determines the development of the plot: Obsidian is true to its traditions, so the events in The Outer Worlds are up to you. Your decisions affect not only the plot, but also the character development, the fate of the satellites and the final game.
- The good news is that you are not perfect: The Outer Worlds has a unique flaw system. They form the character of any bright hero.
- The game analyzes your actions and determines what you do worst. Are you constantly attacked by raptidones? Choose the lack of "raptiphobia", and you will become weaker in front of these terrible creatures, but you will receive additional ability for this. Thanks to this choice, you can create a unique character while traveling around Alcyone.
- Manage satellites: exploring a distant colony, you will meet many characters who are ready to join your team. They have unique abilities, tasks, motives and ideals. You can help each satellite to achieve their cherished goal, or use it for your own benefit.
- Explore the corporate colony: Alcyone is a colony on the edge of the galaxy that is owned and managed by the corporate board of directors. Everything is in his power ... except for the alien monsters that appeared after an unsuccessful attempt to terraform the two planets of the colony. Get the ship, assemble a team and go explore the settlements, space stations and other corners of Alcyone, full of mysteries.

TYLER BRINGS WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE TO ROLE
Laura H. Tyler, Ph.D., LPC, serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer for Ozark Guidance. When the Board of Directors chose her to lead the nonprofit community mental health center in 2017, it was a bit of a homecoming. Dr. Tyler was raised in Northwest Arkansas and attended the University of Arkansas for undergraduate and graduate studies. She started her professional career with Ozark Guidance in 1983 and worked with the organization for over 15 years.
She completed her doctoral work in Health Services Organization and Research at the Virginia Commonwealth University. Prior to working exclusively in health care administration, she provided direct care services as a Licensed Professional Counselor. She has worked in a variety of behavioral health settings across her career and also has experience in service delivery to individuals with developmental disorders.
For approximately ten years before she became the Ozark Guidance Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Tyler worked for the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). Her most recent role at UAMS was that of Chief Integration Officer and Associate Vice Chancellor. While there, she had the privilege of working with the leadership team that launched the Psychiatric Research Institute, which offers traditional outpatient services, community-based services and brought general and specialized inpatient psychiatric care back to UAMS after a hiatus of approximately 30 years.
Prior to her time at UAMS, Dr. Tyler worked at Avita Community Partners in a 13-county service area at northeast Georgia. There she served as the behavioral health director, then chief executive officer.
Dr. Tyler has consistently advocated for individuals with mental illness and addictive disorders to be best understood as experiencing symptoms of health conditions that deserve an integrated treatment approach rather than segregation and stigmatization. While she has seen remarkable progress in treatment alternatives, she firmly believes there is substantially more advancement that needs to be accomplished to ensure compassionate quality care is accessible and delivered in a cost effective manner. Her philosophy is that this can best be accomplished by hard work, collaboration and an inter-professional team approach.

Jersey Shore's Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Fiancee Saffire Matos Hold Hands on Rare Outing
Mar 20, 2022 1:17 pm·
By Elisabeth McGowan
Spotted! Jersey Shore: Family Vacation's Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and fiancée Saffire Matos stepped out together for a rare date night.
The couple walked hand in hand as they strolled outside of the Swan restaurant in Miami, Florida, on Saturday, March 19. Ronnie, 36, looked fresh in a plain pink T-shirt and faded ripped jeans with white sneakers. For her part, Saffire, 30, looked sizzling in a shiny, chestnut, low-cut sleeveless dress with thin, beige-colored heels. She also kept her brown hair down in a loose, voluminous blowout.
The famous couple's outing comes nearly two months after they were photographed packing on a little PDA after eating dinner together at Craig's restaurant in West Hollywood on January 27. The duo held hands at one point on their cute date, and Saffire was even kissing Ronnie's cheek briefly.
Their recent night out came after months after they sparked split rumors.
Sammi Sweetheart's Dating History Is Full of Hot Jersey Boys! From Ronnie to Justin
In late October 2021, fans noticed the eyelash technician stopped sharing pictures of her and her man on Instagram for quite a while, mainly just posting photos of herself.
The following month, an insider exclusively told In Touch that Ronnie and Saffire were "not together" at the time, as their romance had been "on the rocks" for a few weeks beforehand.
"They get into fights just like normal couples would but sometimes their fights get really bad, which leads to them separating and spending time apart," the source added. "Not only that but she will delete photos of him, block him, not wear her ring and so forth. Right now, they're not together and sorting it out privately. That's not to say it's over for good. They both want to make it work since they have so much love for each other."
By December 2021, many of Saffire's Instagram followers were convinced the pair had ended their romance. Several people commented on a photo she uploaded of just herself sitting in a car.
"You say you belong to the streets, but the streets belong to me," she captioned the post, and fans quickly weighed in about her relationship status with the reality star.
"Bye ronnnnn," one Instagram user commented, while another went so far as to write Ron "dumped her" in response to a separate fan's question about whether they were still together.
However, Saffire seemingly put the breakup rumors to rest when she was seen wearing her engagement ring later that month.
The couple first went public with their relationship in November 2020 and got engaged in June 2021.
'Jersey Shore' Stars Who Admitted to Plastic Surgery: Now and Then Photos
"Thank you for sticking by my side through thick and thin!" Ronnie captioned an Instagram post that month alongside a photo with her engagement ring. "Till death do us part! #SheSaidYes."
Ronnie and Saffire have pulled through a lot of ups and downs, including his run-ins with the law.
In April 2021, the MTV personality was arrested following an alleged domestic violence altercation. He was subsequently released on a $100,000 bond, which his attorneys Scott E. Leemon and Leonard Levine revealed one month later. In September 2021, he pleaded not guilty to violating his parole in September 2021, since the L.A. City Attorney's Office did not charge him with any domestic violence charge. He was able to avoid jail time by voluntarily completing an in-patient program for 30 days. As part of his plea agreement, he had to finish 26 parenting courses.
Despite all of the drama, it seems the couple has since reconciled and are still going strong.
Scroll through the gallery to see photos from Ronnie and Saffire's rare date night.
The MTV personality held his fiancée's hand as they both strutted outside of the Swan restaurant.
Saffire flashed a modest smile as she looked forward while Ronnie noticed the cameras flashing.
Stylish Couple
The duo looked snazzy in their date attire, with Ronnie keeping his outfit on the casual side and Saffire dressing to the nines in her slit, sleeveless dress.
Keeping to Themselves
Saffire looked down as Ronnie kept his lady love by his side while they walked toward their destination.
Saffire and Ronnie didn't let go of each other's hand as they strolled on by, focused on spending time together.

Do you recall those classic Norman Rockwell paintings? You've probably seen them at one time or another – filled iconic images of happy families at Thanksgiving and Christmas, small-town goings-on, and in general an idealized and unrealistic of American life. Nevertheless, those paintings played a large role in shaping people's ideas of what life should be for generations.
The current accepted "painting" of dentistry is nothing like the happy Rockwell paintings. It's a fairly bleak rendering. And yet, the vast majority of dentists seem to accept the current view as the best possible situation. Let's break that down.
It's true that dentists all over the country report that their chairs are full, and even over-full. That sounds like a great problem to have, but it's not. Dentistry was never intended to be assembly-line process with dentists rushing between operatories to see the next patient. And yet, that's what it has become today… too much work for too many hours a week.
That's not a pace that can be kept up any length of time, much less for the length of a dentist's career. And yet, day after day, in practice after practice, dentists are trying to do exactly that, and for not nearly enough compensation. Today's patients are overwhelmingly price- and insurance-driven. The price war between dental practices is real and ongoing, with dentists making very little per case, on average.
There's a proven way out of the trap that dentists find themselves in, one that allows them to work less while earning more. It's the way to attract more of the cases that you truly enjoy doing. It's a key aspect of transitioning to more of a specialty practice, if that's what you want to do.
The key to practicing the dentistry you want is to attract the better patients in your market. Better patients – some 20 to 30 percent of almost all markets – have the means to pay for elective dental services. They're not much worried about what dental insurance will cover or getting the lowest price. They're looking for the dentistry they want from the dentist they like, relate to, and trust.
In principle, this is the same thing that happens people choosing a certain hairdresser and remaining loyal to that service provider for many years. Given that the outcome is pleasing, the relationship factors make the difference.
With better patients representing much higher case value to your practice, you can work less, earn as much or more, and have the time to enjoy dentistry and life.
If that sounds like a dental career you'd enjoy, the way to get started is to have a conversation with SmartBox. There's no charge, no obligation, and it's an investment of the same amount of time that it would take you to do a crown or a single implant.
We'll even provide you with a customized Roadmap to the future you want. Again, there's no obligation.
Discover how you can paint a much more pleasing picture of dentistry than the one that's so "popular" right now. When you do, you'll have much to give thanks for.


What is the difference between gel polish and gel nails?
Gel Polish (aka soak off polish) is a nail polish cured by a light designed to last about 14 days and then be removed by soaking it off with acetone.
Gel Nails are a type of artificial nails also cured with a light to lengthen nails or cover weak nails. They grow out with the natural nails and the nails must be refilled every 2 weeks to prevent lifting and keep the natural nails covered.

Community Development Downtown Long Beach Local News Update
Millworks and Antioch Church Announce A Match Made in Heaven
October 12, 2018 LBLN
Millworks and Antioch Church of Long Beach are excited to announce an agreement that will revive 350 Pine Ave. The renowned building was designed by celebrated African-American architect Paul Revere Williams and is located in the Historic Old Pine Ave Business District in the heart of downtown Long Beach.
Pictured left to right: Becky Blair, President & Principal CBC Blair Westmac; Michelle Molina, Managing Partner Millworks; Wayne A. Chaney, Jr., Senior Pastor Antioch Church of Long Beach; Myesha Chaney, Executive Director Antioch Church of Long Beach; Sheva Hosseinzadeh, Associate CBC Blair Westmac
"The purchase of 350 Pine will allow us to do much more than house our services, it will serve as a premier venue," said Pastor Wayne Chaney. "We see an opportunity to bring events that inspire the City," adds Mrs. Myesha Chaney. The yet to be named venue will cater to musical acts, plays, weddings, comedy shows and business events in addition to Antioch church services.
What makes this transaction special is the extraordinary timing. Millworks acquired 350 Pine Ave in 2015 and made plans to restore the languishing building into a top-notch concert venue. But after three years of unsuccessful negotiations, the Millworks team couldn't find any like-minded partners or investors and were ready to cut their losses and sell the property. Around the same time, Becky Blair and Sheva Hosseinzadeh at Coldwell Banker Commercial were tasked with selling Antioch Church's current property and finding a new building that could also function as a multipurpose venue. After four years of searching, they found nothing that fit the Chaney's vision and they didn't have a single offer on the table for the current property.
The Chaneys were ready to give up. After meeting with the church leadership, the Chaneys decided to wait one more week before taking their property off the market. "It was really nothing short of miraculous," says Pastor Chaney. "In that one week, after four years of nothing, we got three offers."
Three days after the Chaneys accepted an offer on their church property, 350 Pine Ave became part of the conversation. Inexplicably, the property had been overlooked during their 4-year search and it turned out to be everything they wanted. "A match made in heaven," proclaims Michelle Molina, Managing Partner at Millworks. The fact that the building had been designed by Paul Revere Williams, one of the first African-American architects on the West Coast, only gave it deeper meaning.
The Chaneys were exactly the kind of people the Millworks team was looking for to write the next chapter at 350 Pine Ave. "This could still be a music venue, but it could also be a whole lot more. It could be more than we ever would have made it," Molina said.
At least 50 temporary jobs will be created during the construction phase of the project and many more permanent jobs will be created by the church and venue business once the building is completed. Kara Rice, Principal at Citron Design Group, is leading the charge on the building's design and activation. Jan van Dijs at Jan van Dijs Construction Management will be responsible for the build-out and ensuring the renovation remains true to the client's needs and vision. The project is expected to be completed in 12 – 18 months.

"After extensively researching modular builders, AMS was the natural choice for our new math building. AMS' reputation for delivering quality facilities at an affordable cost met our practical needs and their creative team approach gave us the flexibility to explore aesthetic options. The ability to adapt AMS' DSA-approved designs to our unique vision expedited delivery of a beautiful two-story building that's a source of pride for Gilroy High students."
To accommodate growing demand for STEM classes and robust Math Department, the Gilroy Unified School District (GUSD) allocated bond funding to construct a new state-of-the-art mathematics building at Gilroy High School, a key component of a multi-year modernization plan. GUSD approached American Modular Systems (AMS) to design and build the new two-story structure, which adds 23,040 SF of collaborative learning/lab space in adjoining 180'x40' and 108'x40' wings—a space-efficient solution delivered quickly and economically to meet the school's short- and long-term needs. Designed in partnership with LPA Architects, the L-shaped building features 20 large, open classrooms, along with student/staff restrooms, storage areas and a concession space abutting the athletic fields. To integrate indoor/outdoor learning, both wings flow into a landscaped central quad with ample room for outdoor instruction, student congregation and study.
The building design respects the diversity of the 40-year-old campus, showcasing a blended aesthetic that ties in with existing buildings while updating the campus with modern architectural details. AMS incorporated a mansard roofline into the two-story modular design to match the traditional mansard rooflines on the school's older buildings and installed wood stair canopies supported by concrete pillars, a custom feature that echoes the adjacent alpine-style student center. The durable stucco exterior, metal door hardware, galvanized finishes and easy-care interior surfaces are low-maintenance, chosen to provide cost savings over the building's long lifecycle. Large windows fill classrooms with natural light and covered pedestrian walkways provide year-round weather protection while helping cool the building during hot months—energy-saving features that also enhance student comfort and productivity.

Painting of the Month
Painting of the month for January 2020
The Beheading of St. John the Baptist
1608. Oil on canvas St. John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta, Malta
The Beheading of St. John the Baptist by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio stands out from all preceding depictions of the scene in the history of art. It pauses on a strikingly specific moment; one in which John's head is not fully severed from his body. The emphasis on the explicit details of the act of his killing is often read as a result of Caravaggio's personal experience of violence, but I think a close examination may offer a deeper understanding and appreciation of the painting.
The Bible does not provide any great detail about the death of John the Baptist. The Gospel of Luke (3:19-20) merely states that Herod Antipas imprisoned and decollated John for criticising his adulterous relations with his brother's wife, Herodias. Both Mark (6:17-28) and Matthew (14:3-11) add that Herod feared the Baptist and was reluctant to kill him and that the beheading happened in prison during a feast. Often a source of inspiration for artists because of its more descriptive nature, even The Golden Legend also glosses over the details, stating sketchily that '…the headsman is dispatched, John loses his head, the head is given to the daughter and presented by the daughter to her adulterous mother.'[1] Early traditions in Italian church imagery establish the event within a larger narrative, for example in fresco cycles or predelle that depict scenes from John's life. These often present a sort of 'before and after' illustration of the event, initially showing the Baptist in prison about to be executed, and subsequently the presentation of his head to Salome or her mother Herodias. Frequently, architectural details such as arches and crenellated walls separate the scene of the murder from Herod's feast. By excluding the act of beheading and the decapitated body the viewer is perhaps deterred from of dwelling on these aspects. In this painting, Caravaggio deliberately turns his imagination to them.
Caravaggio's The Beheading of St. John the Baptist was probably begun in the first half of 1608 and is his largest work by a considerable amount. While the action dominates just half of the canvas the physicality of the Baptist's killing dominates the whole. With John's head still partially attached, his body almost appears as if whole, reinforcing the totality of his martyrdom and elaborating on the familiar symbol of his severed head. Having cut through most of the Baptist's neck with the discarded sword, the executioner reaches to his belt for a knife to finish the job. With a fistful of hair, he pulls the at victim's head in preparation for severing it from the last grisly sinews. The blood that spurts from John's neck onto the ground provides the ink for Caravaggio's only signature. When seen in situ the spilt blood of the Baptist's martyrdom connects directly to the altar table below, an analogous sign to the sacrifice and covenant of Christ's blood in the Eucharist. We know that Caravaggio was no stranger to a swordfight (though as far as we know he never attempted to remove a human head) but the gruelling mechanics of killing a man would have been more familiar to the Knights of the Order of St. John, in whose chapel this altar painting is found.
Subtle reworkings of traditional iconography in this painting require the viewer's attention. The customary reed cross has been replaced by the sword that was used to behead John, its crossed hilt just hidden from sight. The rope which binds his wrists meanders into the foreground, mimicking the banderol that is often used to link the Baptist to Christ by testifying 'Ecce Agnus Dei.' The binding also alludes to both religious images of the sacrificial lamb and traditional Northern Italian paintings of animals in kitchens or butcher shops. The legs of his animal fur protrude from beneath the swathe of fabric and mirror his own lifeless legs, emphasising the slaughter that is taking place. John's iconic pointing right forefinger relaxes into a curve as life drains from his body. His habitual red cloak winds around his right shoulder, across his back and into the foreground to form a slick of red, creating a visual counterpoint to the pool of blood. Caravaggio handles these meaningful symbols with a realistic simplicity that is powerfully evocative but do not distract from the scene at hand.
A group of figures gather around the Baptist's body and all heads turn towards action. On the left hand-side Salome, bends down with a serving dish in readiness to receive the head. The golden salver hints to the feast that is taking place simultaneously, but also acts as a substitute for a halo, a sign to John's imminent sainthood. An old woman stands alongside her, looking on with dismay as she clutches her head in what is perhaps an involuntary gesture. She also provides a stark contrast of age, beauty and emotion to her younger companion – a device often used by Caravaggio. Beside her, the prison guard points to the plate, a grim profanation of John's right arm which baptised Christ and always pointed towards Him and salvation. The guard's finger leads our eye to the platter and back to the head of the Baptist, thereby returning the focus to the killing. Two men strain their necks from the jail window on the right to witness the execution, a morbid but realistic observation of human behaviour.
Caravaggio contradicts the Gospel accounts by setting the scene outside of the prison. Some art historians have speculated that he may have taken inspiration from the imposing walls and rusticated arches in the courtyard of the Grand Master's Palace in Valletta. The bleak, unceremonious stage and the brutality of the Baptist's execution are balanced by the restrained colour and the monumental classicism of the posed figures paused in action. An earthy-coloured stone wall replaces John's wilderness home. The broken slats of a gate that can be seen through the gloomy archway perhaps allude to trees, their crossed construction could be seen as a premonition of Christ's future crucifix. The dominating brown tonality is a result of exposed ground, an unconventional artistic decision that was criticised by some of Caravaggio's contemporaries for resembling an abbozzo, not a finished oil painting. Giovanni Pietro Bellori wrote that '[i]n this work Caravaggio used all the force of his brush, working with such intensity that he left the priming of the canvas show through in half-tones.'[2] Considering the prestige of the patron and relative stability of the artist's career under the Knight's protection in Malta it seems more likely that the technique is an expression of confidence and style, the loose and less prescriptive brushwork being a prevailing feature of his last works.
Light is significant to John the Baptist's life, within Caravaggio's work and religious art more generally. The Bible refers to John several times in reference to divine light; 'There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.' (John 1:6-8)[3]. 'He was a burning and shining lamp' (John 5:35).[4] Light illuminates, reveals, blesses and renews. Just as Christ's baptism by John officially began his ministry, spiritual and moral purification was also demanded by Order before initiation. As a model of faith and obedience, the Baptist can be seen as a vessel containing and radiating divine light, and a beacon on the path to God. While his role is diminutive to that of Jesus, in death he too is an inextinguishable flame. His pale but luminous skin and serene face recalls images of Christ's flagellation and crucifixion. Chiaroscuro, a term with which Caravaggio's name is now synonymous, is the ideal conduit to communicate John's channelling of sacred light in order to overcome the darkness of sin, damnation, and mortality that we all face.
Caravaggio has reinterpreted the Baptist's typical attributes in a sophisticated and sensitive manner, using realistic detail to tell the story his way. The exclusion of haloes and angels does not make the image less holy. Rather the very earth-bound naturalism of the painting makes a powerful impact that focusses the viewer's experience on the Baptist's life, but, and I think more importantly, shows us that John's world and ours are one and the same. John's role as a Baptiser was to prepare the people for God, to be a guiding light and illuminate their journey, and so those who sought to extinguish John's light are the ones that are truly lifeless. In deviating from the thematic tradition, Caravaggio has contributed to it, adding another layer to the artistic representation of the subject in art that was to become widely influential to a new generation of artists.

Armin van Buuren feat. Josh Cumbee: Sunny Days
Posted on 23 June, 2017 Author cheatbook
This is a man driven by an unbridled and relentless passion for music. Armin van Buuren is a born perfectionist, striving to stay on top of the scene he's helped build. As the flag-bearer of the trance movement, he's one of the most influential figures in EDM worldwide. Even though he lives an extraordinary life as one of the world's most popular DJs, he has always remained a down-to-earth guy. Armin van Buuren is constantly on the move, whether creating music in his studio or en route to his next high-end club or festival show around the globe. Armin: "It's not just love for music, it's my passion. It goes beyond liking, and beyond a hobby. It's about a way of living.
Music is essential to my life." For more than 20 years, the Grammy-nominated Dutchman has been living to the rhythm of his own international success. His five-time number one position in the critically acclaimed DJ Mag Top 100 DJs Poll has been the result of his loyalty to fans, his creativity in the studio, the perseverance with which he hosts his weekly radio show 'A State of Trance', and the energy he brings to the crowds in front of him. Despite the heavy pressure that comes along with being one of the world's most popular DJs, Armin has always kept his focus on the music. And that's exactly what keeps him going. Radiant, upbeat and more addictive than a hot summer sun. Those three things describe Armin van Buuren's brand-new single in full. Representing a piece of summer that never fails to bring a smile to your face, 'Sunny Days' features the stellar vocals of Josh Cumbee, mesmerizing guitar play and delightful vibes that you just have to indulge in. Our life would be a whole lot darker without songs like this one.
Armin van Buuren feat. Josh Cumbee: Sunny Days (Club Mix)
Once again going where few dare to venture, Armin van Buuren explores his musicality even further. Teaming up with super producer Fernando Garibay and featured singer Olaf Blackwood, he gives rise to this monumental out-of-the-box offering and shows that his production prowess knows no boundaries. A particularly infectious record that's sure to turn heads, 'I Need You' is creativity in its purest form.
A high-octane adaptation of Armin van Buuren's new offering, the Club Mix of 'Sunny Days' adds some extra energy and power to the brilliant original. Merging Josh Cumbee's smooth vocals with a riveting melody in the breathtaking breakdown, Armin van Buuren has once again brought the best of both worlds together.
Armin van Buuren feat. Josh Cumbee: Sunny Days Lyrics:
You woke up in the morning
With the sunrise in your eyes
But all that she's seeing is darkness
She won't tell you why
No more butterflies 'cause they don't never last
Stolen from the light by demons of the past
It's always raining
But she keeps on praying
Oh, sunny days. Lift me when I'm down
Oh, sunny days. Break you through the clouds
Oh, sunny days.
Oh, oh, ooh. She keeps on praying
All she needs is shelter
Shelter for the night
And this one could be heaven
But she's looking down the line
She keeps on praying
Oh, sunny days
Lift me when I'm down
Break you through the clouds
Sunny days. Lift me when I'm down

Famous Italian fashion brands include Gucci, Armani, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Bottega Veneta, Roberto Cavalli, Costume National, Brunello Cucinelli, Diesel, Etro, Fay, Fendi, Salvatore Ferragamo, Fiorucci, Genny, Iceberg, Kiton, La Perla, Loro Piana, Marni, Missoni, Moncler, Moschino, Richmond, Ermanno Scervino, Tod's, Trussardi, and Versace.
Talented and charismatic, he soon drew the attention of VIP's in the fashion world; they appreciated his chic knitwear and his creativity. Always influenced by art, Gianni Versace drew inspiration from ancient Roman and Greek paintings and sculpture, as well as modern abstracts and Pop Art – producing bold, current designs using color, prints, and careful fitting that accentuated the lines of the body,
Coming from a mid class family from Dominican Republic, Oscar de La Renta moved to Madrid at the early age of 19 wishing to be a painter. In order to make extra money Oscar de La Renta started doing some work as a fashion designer. In 1965, De la Renta took over Arden, the company he was working for at the time and this open the door to start his own brand. The unique tone of red on his dresses became to be known as "De la Renta red".
Every collection of this talented designer is doomed for success. His works can be unhesitatingly called masterpieces: he's never afraid of expressing himself in the wackiest, the most sophisticated, out-of-this-world shapes and colors. Pierre Cardin is the inventor of the 'bubble dress'. His works can be easily told from the others: Cardin's models look like they've come out from the SCI-FI novels :).
It's not hard to point out a gal that wears the cowgirl fashion style! In this particular style, there's a few staples that are an absolute must for the wardrobe: undoubtedly an adorable cowgirl hat, typically in either some shade of brown or pink, a pair of flared blue jeans with western themed leather belt, denim jacket to match, a pair of cowgirl boots, and a few white t-shirt and plaid button-ups.
Fashion is the niche that is undergoing significant changes with time. 20th century has witnessed some great enhancements in both women and men apparels. These significant changes have happened due to the work of some icons in the fashion industry. There are so many popular names among these fashion designers who are still known due to their incredible contributions to the fashion industry. They have really made elegant and creative clothing that could reveal the beauty of a women in the most amazing manner. The apparels of men also were striking and which could bring out the manly look in any man. Here are the most popular fashion designers. They have set standards which can be followed by the designers of the new era. These great individuals are always immortal in the fashion industry. These names are much familiar for all the individuals who are related with the fashion industry.
He rebounded in the 60's and 70's, designing his own line and stunning Paris and the entire fashion world with his own brand of French elegance. However, the stress of his work led him to abuse booze and drugs; in time, the fragile designer's health became precarious. By 1987, he was unable to fulfill his responsibilities, and allowed others to design his prêt-a-porter line.
Fashion designers attempt to design clothes which are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. They consider who is likely to wear a garment and the situations in which it will be worn, and they work within a wide range of materials, colors, patterns and styles. Though most clothing worn for everyday wear falls within a narrow range of conventional styles, unusual garments are usually sought for special occasions such as evening wear or party dresses.
Women who enjoy the artsy style tend to stay away from the traditional 'trends' of the fashion world and love to make a statement with their clothing. Oftentimes they will be the creator of their own fashions, designing and creating their own blouses, hats, and jackets. Each artsy style will be different per woman, as everyone has their own idea of what 'art' truly is. That's what makes this particular fashion style so unconventional and interesting.
Jean-Paul Gaultier is a French fashion designer born on 1952 in Val-de-Marne, France. At age 18, he joined the house of Pierre Cardin before moving on to Jacques Esterel and Patou. The appearance of Gaultier's collection was in 1976, but his own design house was only launched on 1982. Jean Paul Gaultier's sensual, irreverent style continually challenges stereotypical femininity, ignoring traditional gender roles by embracing androgyny and the freedom of sexuality. His style is known to challenge standard views of fashion.
I don't know what style category I fit into. I seem to have casual, sexy, girly, punk and tomboy. I even like the sporty style. It actually depends on my mood but most of the time, I like romantic clothes with lace, chic stuff, and if I don't feel like dressing up, I just want casual or tomboy. Usually with crop tops and high waisted jeans. What….am I???
A designer with a notorious past, Christian Dior was also known for being in cahoots with the enemy during WWII, when he dressed Nazi wives and French collaborators in his designs. Despite this questionable choice, he still rose to prominence during the late-forties when the war was over…primarily due to his unparalleled mastery of line and shape. He gave women a desirable "flower silhouette" which always featured a nipped-in waist, a full, voluminous skirt, and a feminine, corseted bodice. Often, the hips of his suits and dresses were padded to balance the bust line and accentuate the wasp-waisted effect.
The very first collection of Christian Dior called 'New Look', was destined to become a turning point in women's fashion. His very feminine ideal fashion designs became a sharp contrast to the harsh post-war vogue from that time. Christian Dior came to stay for a long time! Today, the fashion house Dior is on top of the fashion industry, and Christian Dior himself definitely was the best clothes fashion designer.
"There is a micro-trend evolving by way of unexpected fabrics. Real or faux leather seemed to be the material of the moment," confirms Aiken. "Found by way of trenches, blouses, skirts and dresses. Among my favorites include Nanuskha's vegan leather in the brand's cult-favorite puffa or streamlined leather dress, as well as the bold variations of color from Khaite and Proenza Schouler." Last year, the trend extended down to lower price points and the high street, so we're expecting the leather look to spread far and wide.
Certain outfit combinations stood out at the autumn/winter 2019 shows, but the most noticeable one was the simple trio of a blazer, blouse and midi skirt. So many of the most important designer brands stood behind this formula, and it proved to be a linchpin of the entire Celine collection by Hedi Slimane—his second full womenswear runway which was received to greater acclaim than his debut. Burberry's Riccardo Tisci dedicated a section to this kind of grown-up look, using light beiges and soft fabrics to make things extra feminine. Meanwhile, Fendi took a more mix 'n' match approach, which will likely empower you to take what you've already got in your wardrobe and start working towards this successful equation. Office outfits for the next six months, sorted.
Yves Saint Laurent started his brand in 1962 after working at the house of Dior, where he was famously appointed head designer at young age 21. Many of fashion's most iconic creations can be attributed to YSL, including the women's tuxedo jacket, the high-fashion peacoat, and the shirt dress. In addition to iconic clothing, he was also among the first designers to feature non-white models. Yves stayed at the brand until his retirement in 2002. He died in June 2008.
Median annual wages for salaried fashion designers were $61,160 in May 2008. The middle 50 percent earned between $42,150 and $87,120.[11] The lowest 10 percent earned less than $32,150, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $124,780. Median annual earnings were $52,860 (£40,730.47) in apparel, piece goods, and notions - the industry employing the largest numbers of fashion designers.[12] As of 2016,a fashion designer's median annual salary was $65,170. High end designers can earn around $92,550. In 2016, 23,800 people were counted as fashion designers in the United States. [13]
Born in January of 1905, this French designer was best known for his distinctive "New Look" silhouette. First shown in 1947; his suits and dresses revolutionized the way women dressed after the Second World War. Today, talented designer John Galliano carries on the legendary designer's legacy in Paris, where he creates dramatic couture ball gowns, chic prêt-a-porter, and luxurious accessories for Dior. Galliano's talent and his over-the-top runway shows have ensured that the brand remains strong and viable in today's world…
Latest 2019 Fashion Trends for Women. It's another year, a fresh start, and the ideal time to refresh your closet with quality pieces and crisp outlines for 2019. Be strong and go after those snakeskin donkeys or silk aircraft. It's another season, and you're reevaluating yourself and your storage room, recollect? We have picked a portion of the most recent and most wearable design patterns for ladies. Along these lines, let us investigate the Top 10 Fashion Trends in 2019 for Women to adopt.
Long vests, which the planners have been playing around with for a couple of seasons now, are perfect for the pre-fall season, particularly in light of the way that pre-fall is the season for outerwear that you have been so amped up for. A possibility for the 70's jackets and overcoats, long vests have a diminishing effect on the body, especially when left detached. They can be worn in the pre-fall September isolated, displaying the revealed arms, with sweater when it gets colder, or even used for a layered look.
Fashion today is a global industry, and most major countries have a fashion industry. Seven countries have established an international reputation in fashion: France, Italy, United Kingdom, United States, Japan, Germany and Belgium. The "big four" centers of the fashion industry are Paris, Milan, New York City and London. The biggest manufacturers of clothing are China, Bangladesh and India, and other notable clothing manufacturing countries are Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Philippines, South Korea, Spain, and Brazil.
The 70s fashion style can also easily be referred to as the 'hippie' look, where women leave their hair long and straight and add an adorable little flower or stem of flowers to create a natural finish. Their wardrobe will undoubtedly have the classic super-flared jeans and tons of tie-dye tops and accessories, as well as simple white tees to go with their look. Floral patterns are also common in this fashion style and makeup is minimal to maintain a simple and natural appearance.

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CEVA, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA)(LSE: CVA), a leading licensor of silicon intellectual property (SIP) platform solutions and DSP cores for mobile, consumer electronics and storage applications, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2007 was $8.5 million, a slight increase of 1% compared to $8.4 million reported for the second quarter of 2006 and a sequential increase of 10% from $7.7 million for the first quarter of 2007. Second quarter of 2007 licensing revenue was $5.5 million, a decrease of 8% from $6.0 million reported for the second quarter of 2006 and a sequential increase of 19% from $4.6 million for the first quarter of 2007. Royalty revenue for the second quarter of 2007 was $1.9 million, an increase of 33% over $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2006 and slightly lower by 2.0% from the traditionally strong first quarter of 2007 in which royalty revenue was $2.0 million. Revenue from services for the first and second quarters of 2007 was $1.1 million, an increase of 11% compared to $1.0 million reported for the second quarter of 2006.
Net income for the second quarter of 2007 was $0.4 million, compared to a net loss of $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2006. Net income per share for the second quarter of 2007 was $0.02 per share, compared to net loss of $0.01 per share for the second quarter of 2006.
In the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized an equity-based compensation charge of $0.5 million pursuant to the adoption of SFAS 123R. Pro forma non-GAAP net income and net income per share for the second quarter of 2007, excluding the equity-based compensation expense, increased 308% and 400% to $0.9 million and $0.05, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2006. Pro forma non-GAAP net income and net income per share for the second quarter of 2006, excluding the equity-based compensation expense and a gain of $0.1 million reported in interest and other income related to the disposal of an investment, was $0.2 million and $0.01, respectively.
During the second quarter of 2007, the Company concluded eight new license agreements. Six agreements were for CEVA DSP cores and platforms, one agreement was for CEVA SATA technology and one agreement was for CEVA Bluetooth 2.0+EDR technology. Target applications for customer deployment are Digital TV, DVD and HD-DVD, ultra low cost phones, 3G phones, smart phones and portable multimedia players. Geographically, three of the eight deals concluded were in the U.S., one was in Europe and four were in the Asia Pacific region.
During the quarter, CEVA concluded another major strategic licensing agreement for its newest DSP core, the CEVA-TeakLite-III. The new customer is one of the largest, branded, consumer electronics vendors in Japan that has adopted the CEVA-TeakLite-III for its next generation of integrated Digital TVs. This represents another major design win for CEVA in the home entertainment segment and continues the Company's expansion beyond the mobile market into a larger market composed of Digital TVs, HD-DVD / Blu-ray DVDs, IPTV and set-top boxes.
Gideon Wertheizer, Chief Executive Officer of CEVA, stated: "The second quarter of 2007 was a strong quarter for the main aspects of our business, including total revenue reached, the backlog and pipeline build up and the increase in royalty revenue which was 33% higher compared to the equivalent quarter last year. We are also particularly pleased with the continued success of our newest generation CEVA-TeakLite-III DSP core in penetrating the home entertainment market, as well as the strategic decision made by one of the largest European semiconductor companies to broadly use our technology over its internally developed DSP solution."
Yaniv Arieli, Chief Financial Officer of CEVA, stated: "Our revenue for the second quarter of 2007 was closer to the higher end of our guidance through a combination of strong royalties reported by our customers and good licensing performance. This revenue performance along with continued focus on our growth engines enabled us to report significant sequential profits growth. Non-GAAP pro forma net income and fully diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2007 grew 100% and 96%, respectively.

WEALTH OF NATIONS, THE: Officially titled "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations", this book written by Adam Smith and published in 1776, is considered to be the foundation for the modern study of economics. The Wealth of Nations was the first to combine assorted economic discourse and analyses into a single book. One of its most important themes is the efficiency of free trade and market exchanges unrestricted by government that leads to macroeconomic full employment and microeconomic efficiency. The Wealth of Nations is one of the most famous books worldwide. It continues to provide economic insight over two hundred years after its initial appearance.
ASSUMPTION:
An initial condition or statement of a model or theory that sets the stage for an analysis by abstracting from the real world. Assumptions are important to economic analysis. Some assumptions are used to simplify a complex analysis into more easily manageable parts. Other assumptions are used as control conditions that are subsequently changed to evaluate the consequences.
Assumptions form the foundation upon which theories, models, and analyses are constructed. They simplify and highlight the problem or topic under study. Even though assumptions often appear to be "unrealistic," when properly used they make it possible to analyze an exceedingly complex set of events.
Assumptions are inherently abstract and seemingly unrealistic. However, they make it possible to identify a specific cause-and-effect relation by assuming other influences are not involved. For example, the law of demand is the relation between demand price and quantity demanded. Demand, however, is also affected by factors other than demand price, such as buyers' income, the prices of other goods, or buyers' preferences. When working with the law of demand, it is essential to assume that these other factors do not influence demand when identifying the law of demand.
Is this realistic? No. Do these other factors affect demand? Most certainly. However, without an abstract assumption holding these other influences unchanged, the law of demand relation is lost in the confusion.
Two Reasons
Assumptions are used for two primary reasons--to simplify a complex analysis and to control an analysis.
Simplification: One important use of assumptions is to simplify an analysis. The world is complex. The economy is complex. A multitude of forces are perpetually at work. Making sense of the apparent chaos is the goal of science. This goal is pursued by focusing on one topic, one problem, and one segment of the world at a time. In so doing, it is essential to assume that other aspects of the world are unchanged or irrelevant. Simplifying assumptions often establish ideal benchmarks that can be used to evaluate real world conditions.
For example, a study of short-run production that is designed to identify the law of diminishing marginal returns, is likely to ignore (that is, assume as irrelevant) the government sector and government regulation of business. Is this totally realistic? No. But it does simplify the analysis. It enables the analysis of those aspects of the complex world that are MOST relevant to the law of diminishing marginal returns.
Control: Assumptions are also commonly used as control variables. The use of seemingly unrealistic assumptions makes it possible to control an analysis and to identify individual cause-and-effect relations. That is, at first a factor might be assumed constant (implementing that ceteris paribus assumption) merely to see what happens when the factor changes.
For example, the standard market analysis employs the ceteris paribus assumption to hold demand and supply determinants constant when deriving the market equilibrium. They are not REALLY constant. But, by holding them constant initially, each can be changed separately (that is, the ceteris paribus assumption is relaxed) to analyze how each affects equilibrium.
Misuse and Politics
Unfortunately, economic analysis occasionally makes excessive use of unrealistic assumptions, assumptions that not only define the problem but ensure particular conclusions. For example, the study of pollution externalities might begin with the assumption of a competitive market, free of market failures. In so doing, the problem of pollution is effectively assumed away, which is not only unrealistic, but defeats the purpose of the analysis. However, if the analysis is intended to "prove" pollution is not a problem, then the goal has been achieved.
Much like chemists occasionally blow up their laboratories, economists do misuse assumptions. Whether they realize it or not, economists are inclined to use economic theories that conform to preconceived political philosophies and world views. Liberals work with liberal economic theories and conservatives work with conservative economic theories. This, by itself, is no crime. The ongoing debate and competition of ideas brings out the best of both and enables a better overall understanding of the economy. However, the temptation to use unrealistic and unjustified assumptions that produce conclusions and support policies consistent with preconceived beliefs is always present. Doing so is not necessarily good.

EFJ-IFJ monitoring press trials in Turkey
EFJ-IFJ monitoring press trials in…
Şub22015
The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) and the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) last week sent journalist Barry White (NUJ UK) to observe the new press trials in Turkey, 29 – 31 January. Barry White, also a member of the EFJ Steering Committee, was joined by Mustafa Kuleli (General Secretary of the Journalists Union of Turkey, TGS), atthe first hearing against journalists Can Dündar (Cumhuriyet), Utku Çakirözer (Cumhuriyet), Hakan Gülseven (Yurt) and Nazli Ilicak (Bugün).
The journalists are being sued by the President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, his wife Emine and son Bilal for violation of privacy and defamation following their reporting of corruption probes in Turkish politics. The case was adjourned to 26 March 2015.
Barry White also visited the offices of the daily newspaper Birgün where a number of journalists, including the editor-in-chief, are also facing serious charges and court appearances for their reporting.
"We follow with great concern the worrying evolution of press freedom in Turkey but we will continue to support the TGS and stand in solidarity with our colleagues," said White.
The next day, Barry White attended the OdaTV trial where investigative journalists are accused of being members of a secret illegal organisation trying to topple the government. The defendants, who have been under investigation since February 2011, were left deeply disappointed when the Court again adjourned the case until 12 June 2015, just after the next parliamentary elections. The EFJ/IFJ presence to support the colleagues was highly appreciated as a visible sign of solidarity. Barry White published on his blog a complementary report on OdaTV trial monitoring mission.
In Istanbul, Barry White also met editor-in-chief Ekrem Dumanli and other journalists working for the daily Zaman newspaper which was raided on 14 December. As a recent resolution adopted by the Members of the European Parliament (MEP) recalls the Turkish police raided and briefly detained a number of journalists and media representatives for leaking classified information to undermine the state. The EFJ-IFJ representative also expressed the solidarity of European journalists against the excessive repressive measures used against journalists in Turkey.

Halloween has inspired me! I saw a small child dressed head to toe in fancy dress oozing blood and gore and guts (all together now – awwwwww), stumbling about in the street at 4pm like a well seasoned drunk and it got me thinking….Like the human and the banana, kids and zombies have 50% of the same DNA.
Look. A zombie apocalypse is inevitable. One day I will go for a wee at 4 in the morning, glance out the bathroom window and find a zombie ripping into a neighbour on the front lawn. Face facts – we need to study in order to be prepared.
"Preparation is KEY!" as they say. But unless the Government have a hoard of the undead pegged out like Heidi's goats in an underground bunker (they do you know) we need to improvise. And what better than to use our own young.
CALM DOWN! I DON'T MEAN TURN THEM INTO ZOMBIES AND FILM THE AFTERMATH ON A SMART PHONE.
I mean, look at your little stumbling, slack jawed, germy entity as it tries to spread its multiple bodily infections by gumming you. Our mini-me's have many an uncanny similarity to zombies. Let's exploit our X and Y chromosome projects! Anyone deemed smart is always on about how we should LEARN from the kids. This must be the subtext! For you and for I! For why? Here goes.
1) They both have a severe lack of humour when hungry. Which is always. Solve by ensuring you ALWAYS have a snack for them, something small you can fit in your pocket. Rice cakes for baby. Something little with a pulse for the zombie. Like a hamster.
As someone great once said; "Zombies by their very nature are inconsistent".
3) They are both easily distracted. Use this to your advantage.
"Look screaming baby! Keys!" *rattle rattle!* Use the momentary distraction to escape and pass the ticking emotional 17lb time bomb to a grandparent and run to safety (a pub).
"Look Zombie!" *Tap tap tap* "A dead rat I speared on a big stick! Fetch!" *Javelins the stick 8 feet away and runs to safety (a fortress high on a hill with lots of nuclear weapons. And a pub).
4) Neither child nor zombie is able to communicate well.
Option a) scream and shout. Screaming and shouting in frustration helps momentarily, and both child and zombie will shout louder and for longer than you can, repeating the same noise until you have a mental breakdown upon realising the utter hopelessness of it all.
Option b) Run away and hide. Socially frowned upon with regards to caring for kids, but generally agreed upon as a good idea when escaping from zombies.
5) They both look permanently drunk. They stumble about, their centre of gravity God knows where, but seemingly somewhere in the lower neck as they lurch and wobble about, head jutting a good foot in front of the rest of their bodies. Wobbling, staggering, lolloping and stalling, eyeballing things to investigate, use to focus on and regain balance, before stumbling on once more like they are battered.
But beware – they often move in packs. Whilst comedy side to side jumping away from one of them, doing little shakey shakey bum wiggles, you may trip over another. The end.
6) Both ignore dental hygiene when really they should be ensuring they take care of their teeth as the main tools they need for contentment. For children, to eat sweets and cake. For zombies, to break skin and consume flesh. If a zombie wants to continue being a zombie then a good dental hygiene routine is a real must. Of course, we don't want zombies to continue being zombies so perhaps everyone should cover themselves in jam and roll in sugar every morning to ensure that should they get bitten during the day, they are doing their bit for mankind and joining the fight against zombies by rotting their teeth.
7) Neither socialise well with the same species and neither share.
Toddler – smacks other toddler in the face, steals its toy, pushes the other toddler to the ground and climbs on it, pushing its face down into the Lamaze brain-stimulating carpet. Rips head off said toy and moves on to the next victim.
Zombie – scrambles over a dozen other zombies crushing them into the mud, smacking other zombies in the face, steals their flailing human, rips its head off and moves on to the next victim.
Baby – tugs on toy suction-padded to the high chair table. Succeeds. Smacks self in the face with it hard.
Zombie – goes to grab a person running away from them and snares them by the hair. Pulls that person's head off.
10) They both want to bite you. Unavoidable and most often when you least expect it.
*Ding Dong!* "Oh, must be the postman! Hello Postma – ARRRRGGGGGH! YOU BIT ME!".
Avoid close contact with anything and everything. Unless they are so young they don't have teeth or so old they don't have teeth.
11)They both get really angry over apparently nothing.
Babies – you have food, love, warmth and the entertainment of watching your parents running round like headless chickens.
Zombies – you have the entire world's population to eat. You have no other goals or needs.
Why are you all so CROSS?!
12) They both are very gassy and full of painful wind. Babies, because they are unable to move much and consume a lot of air through crying. Zombies, because their insides are dead and rotting and filling with septic fumes. I am sure if the zombie could shift his gas he might cheer up a bit.
"Come on now!" *human leans out of bedroom window holding a broom handle, masking taped to the loft hatch stick, welded to a shovel and slaps the zombie on the back with it.
at a pitch so terrifyingly high it sends every nerve in your body into a spasming, shocking meltdown. An instant reaction of wanting to burst into tears but you don't know why.
15) Both launch their best attacks at night time. Dark, disorientated with an overhwleming feeling that you are totally alone in the world, this is when you are at your weakest. They know it. They are both wide awake and ready to destroy you and will do so happily.
16) Both are attracted to light. I noticed this whilst taking them Trick or Treating. Light means food.
So, there you are. Whoever it was who said we can really learn a lot from our kids was right. And you're welcome.

This is the first blogpost I've ever read about the zombie apocalypse and you can guarantee it will be the only post I ever, EVER read comparing babies to zombies.
And it's to your credit.
Oh mate, this had me crying with laughter! You're so right!
HURRAH!!!!!!! I am so pleased!
Wow – you have done your homework on zombies! I deffo have 2 of them at home. Scared now!
I do worry about you sometimes, besides every knows the best way to kill zombies is to burn them and not nuke them.
Oh and the biting? Know that feeling too well, especially dangerous when your son is at the perfect height to bite your bits….

Movement seeks to remove Tallahassee monument to Civil War dead or add a treason plaque
One legislator will argue for a plaque that explains Florida's secession was an act of treason against the United States.
Movement seeks to remove Tallahassee monument to Civil War dead or add a treason plaque One legislator will argue for a plaque that explains Florida's secession was an act of treason against the United States. Check out this story on floridatoday.com: https://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/newswire/2019/07/25/lawmaker-wants-capitol-confederate-memorial-replaced-treason-plaque/1825437001/
James Call, Tallahassee Democrat Published 9:58 a.m. ET July 25, 2019
Rep. Geraldine Thompson, D-Windemere, wants to remove a monument to Leon County's Civil War dead that sits in front of the state Capitol at the intersection of Monroe Street and Apalachee Parkway.
The obelisk marble memorial was dedicated in 1882 and placed at Tallahassee's main thoroughfare in 1923.
Its etching says the monument was a project of the women of Leon County and declares its purpose is to "perpetuate in the memory of succeeding generations the heroic patriotism of the men of Leon County who perished in the Civil War of 1861-1865.
Although there is no reference to the Confederacy, Leon volunteers blocked the advance of Union troops in Wakulla County to preserve Tallahassee's distinction as the only Confederate Capitol east of the Mississippi the Union failed to capture.
Thompson's legislative aide Kahreem Golden said the veteran lawmaker will press for the memorial to be removed to a less prominent spot or have a plaque added to the site that explains Florida's participation in the war was "treason against the United States."
Tallahassee's Rep. Loranne Ausley endorsed the effort. Ausley calls the obelisk a "painful reminder of an ugly and hurtful history."

"It should be removed," said Ausley, a Democrat running for the state Senate. "I look forward to working with Rep. Thompson to get this resolved once and for all."
Debate over Confederate symbols and slavery were ignited after a violent white supremacist rally in Virginia two years ago.

The Florida Legislature voted to remove a statue of Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith as one of the state's representatives in the National Statuary Hall Collection at the U.S. Capitol. Gov. Ron DeSantis sent a letter to the architect of the U.S. Capitol, July 10, to formally request to replace Kirby-Smith in Statuary Hall with a statue of civil-rights activist Mary McLeod Bethune.
The Bethune statue is slated to be completed and moved to National Statuary Hall in 2020.

Earlier, lawmakers removed the Confederate battle flag from the Senate's official seal and painted over a Confederate general in a mural that greets visitors to the Senate gallery.
Then in 2018, lawmakers approved a bill to create a Florida Slavery Memorial on the Capitol complex grounds. Sponsored by by Rep. Kionne McGhee, D-Miami, it passed both the House and Senate with unanimous votes and was signed into law by then-Gov. Rick Scott.
The bill directed DMS to develop a plan for the design, placement and cost of a memorial. DMS issued a request for a proposal to artists for a memorial and will select a design and submit a finalist to the Florida Legislature by next session.

More: Residents demand Confederate monument be returned
In committee meetings, McGhee argued the new memorial was needed to recognize the injustice, cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery in the United States and "to honor the nameless and forgotten men, women and children for their contributions "to the U.S. and Florida."
The four-sided memorial that currently stands on the Old Capitol's front lawn contains the names of battles Leon's Civil War veterans fought in on the Florida, Western, and Virginia fronts. It misplaces and misspells the Gettysburg battle, which ultimately doomed the Confederacy.

Who owns the Confederate monument at the Old Capitol?
House panel approves memorial to Florida slaves
Confederate Gen. Edmund Kirby Smith's last stand will be in Tavares
Big Bend peppered with Confederate monuments
Thompson faces an uphill fight to remove the memorial.
The first thing lawmakers would have to do is determine who owns and has authority to remove the memorial. The Department of Management Services manages state buildings and their property but has said the memorial is controlled by the Legislature because it is a "permanent exhibit of the Florida Historic Capitol Museum."
But two years ago, then-Sen. President Joe Negron told the AP that he was unable to find any document that indicated the memorial is part of the Capitol's historic collection.

Mario and Alexandra up for BB boot
metrowebukmetroTuesday 17 Jun 2008 9:30 pm
Alexandra and Mario face eviction from Big Brother house
Alexandra and Mario face eviction from the Big Brother house on Friday.
In the first round of nominations, Alexandra De-Gale clocked up nine votes, while Mario Marconi followed closely with seven. They will now go head-to-head in the public vote.
Alexandra, 23, was branded "manipulative" and "argumentative" by her fellow housemates during the Diary Room nominations, while 43-year-old Mario was chosen for his patronising attitude and for "trying to take charge".
Nominating Alexandra, Dale Howard said: "She's trying to be nice so she won't be up for nomination. I think she's playing a game."
It was a sentiment shared by Mikey Hughes who claimed: "She's being nicey nicey over the past few days and it doesn't fool me."
And Sylvia Barrie said: "I feel she (Alexandra) is a very argumentative and manipulative character. She's had more arguments than anyone else in the house."
Mario earnt a nomination from Jennifer Clark who moaned that she didn't like "the way he acts like my Dad," while Dale said: "He's patronising – he thinks he's the Dad and we are the kids."
Unsurprisingly he was not nominated by girlfriend Lisa Appleton.
For their own nominations, Alex picked Rex Newmark and Dennis McHugh. Mario chose Sylvia and Dennis.
