Wonder Woman is a 2017 American superhero film based on the DC Comics character of the same name, produced by DC Entertainment in association with RatPac Entertainment and Chinese company Tencent Pictures, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. It is the fourth installment in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU).[6] Directed by Patty Jenkins from a screenplay by Allan Heinberg and a story by Heinberg, Zack Snyder, and Jason Fuchs, Wonder Woman stars Gal Gadot in the title role, alongside Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Danny Huston, David Thewlis, Connie Nielsen, and Elena Anaya. It is the second live action theatrical film featuring Wonder Woman following her debut in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.[7] In Wonder Woman, the Amazon princess Diana sets out to stop World War I, believing the conflict was started by the longtime enemy of the Amazons, Ares, after American pilot and spy Steve Trevor crash-lands on their island Themyscira and informs her about it.
Marston was sure he knew what line not to cross. Harmless erotic fantasies are terrific, he said. "It's the lousy ones you have to look out for—the harmful, destructive, morbid erotic fixations—real sadism, killing, blood-letting, torturing where the pleasure is in the victim's actual pain, etc. Those are 100 per cent bad and I won't have any part of them." He added, in closing, "Please thank Miss Roubicek for the list of menaces."
In February 1941, Marston submitted a draft of his first script, explaining the "under-meaning" of Wonder Woman's Amazonian origins in ancient Greece, where men had kept women in chains, until they broke free and escaped. "The NEW WOMEN thus freed and strengthened by supporting themselves (on Paradise Island) developed enormous physical and mental power." His comic, he said, was meant to chronicle "a great movement now under way—the growth in the power of women."
Wonder Woman appears as one of the lead characters in the Justice League title written by Geoff Johns and drawn by Jim Lee that was launched in 2011 as part of The New 52.[151] In August 2012, she and Superman shared a kiss in Justice League Vol 2 #12, which has since developed into a romantic relationship.[152][153][154] DC launched a Superman/Wonder Woman series that debuted in late 2013, which focuses both the threats they face together, and on their romance as a "Power Couple".[155][156]
Gaines was hugely relieved, at least until September 1943, when a letter arrived from John D. Jacobs, a U.S. Army staff sergeant in the 291st Infantry, stationed at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. "I am one of those odd, perhaps unfortunate men who derive an extreme erotic pleasure from the mere thought of a beautiful girl, chained or bound, or masked, or wearing extreme high-heels or high-laced boots,—in fact, any sort of constriction or strain whatsoever," Jacobs wrote. He wanted to know whether the author of Wonder Woman himself had in his possession any of the items depicted in the stories, "the leather mask, or the wide iron collar from Tibet, or the Greek ankle manacle? Or do you just 'dream up' these things?"
After saving Zola from Hades, Wonder Woman tries to protect her further from Apollo, as it is prophesied that one of Zeus' children will be his downfall whom Apollo considers to be Zola's child.[143][144] Wonder Woman receives the power of flight by one of Hermes' feathers piercing her thigh and Zola's baby is stolen by Hermes at the end and given to Demeter. The issue's last page shows a dark and mysterious man rising from the snow, taking a helmet and disappearing.[145][146] This man is later revealed to be Zeus' first son, known only as First Born, who seeks to rule over Olympus and the rest of the world, and take Diana as his bride.[volume & issue needed]
In the issue's most surprising twist, made clear in this preview, is that the comic will begin after Diana's battle with the Dark Gods. Parting ways with Steve Trevor after the battle isn't a shock, since fans expect it to be a big, future-altering showdown for Diana (and potentially even more humans). But the fact that the future of Jason is left unclear may be the biggest tease.
Gaines was troubled. Roubicek, who worked on Superman, too, had invented kryptonite. She believed superheroes ought to have vulnerabilities. She told Gaines she thought Wonder Woman ought to be more like Superman and, just as Superman couldn't go back to the planet Krypton, Wonder Woman ought not to be able to go back to Paradise Island, where the kinkiest stuff tended to happen. Gaines then sent Roubicek to Bellevue Hospital to interview Bender. In a memo to Gaines, Roubicek reported that Bender "does not believe that Wonder Woman tends to masochism or sadism." She also liked the way Marston was playing with feminism, Roubicek reported: "She believes that Dr. Marston is handling very cleverly this whole 'experiment' as she calls it. She feels that perhaps he is bringing to the public the real issue at stake in the world (and one which she feels may possibly be a direct cause of the present conflict) and that is that the difference between the sexes is not a sex problem, nor a struggle for superiority, but rather a problem of the relation of one sex to the other." Roubicek summed up: "Dr. Bender believes that this strip should be left alone."
He took that secret to his grave when he died in 1947. Most superheroes didn't survive peacetime and those that did were changed forever in 1954, when a psychiatrist named Fredric Wertham published a book called Seduction of the Innocent and testified before a Senate subcommittee investigating the comics. Wertham believed that comics were corrupting American kids, and turning them into juvenile delinquents. He especially disliked Wonder Woman. Bender had written that Wonder Woman comics display "a strikingly advanced concept of femininity and masculinity" and that "women in these stories are placed on an equal footing with men and indulge in the same type of activities." Wertham found the feminism in Wonder Woman repulsive.
Marston introduced the idea to Gaines. Given the go-ahead, Marston developed Wonder Woman, whom he believed to be a model of that era's unconventional, liberated woman. Marston also drew inspiration from the bracelets worn by Olive Byrne, who lived with the couple in a polyamorous relationship.[20] Wonder Woman debuted in All Star Comics #8 (cover date Dec/Jan 1941/1942, released in October 1941),[21] scripted by Marston.
Wonder Woman was soon faced with a new threat. Some years ago, Diana saved a young girl, Vanessa Kapatelis, from death at the hands of Major Disaster. She continued to visit Vanessa for many years as she recovered from her injuries, and encouraged her to undergo experimental treatment involving nanites, which allowed Vanessa to walk again. Eventually, Wonder Woman's superheroics forced her to cease her visits. During Diana's absence, Vanessa's mother Julia died, and Vanessa was left alone and felt that Diana had abandoned her. She began to resent Wonder Woman and declared herself her enemy, using the nanites in her blood to create a metallic, winged suit of armor and adopting the name Silver Swan.[94] Silver Swan murdered a family of people that Diana had recently saved, causing Wonder Woman to fight her alongside Jason. Diana managed to drown Silver Swan until she lost consciousness, causing her to revert to her human form. She left Vanessa to recover in the care of A.R.G.U.S.[95]
Throughout Diana's childhood, she was training and sparring with her Amazonian sisters. One day when pilots were test flying, one of the pilots called Steve Trevor, has an accident with his plane, and Hippolyta opens Themyscira's shields and disguise, and Steve Trevor lands his plane on Paradise Island. Steve then proceeds to explore the island, and that's where he finds beautiful women bathing, but while staring at the women, Diana surprises him from behind and takes him out by kicking him in his testicles. Steve is then strapped up because of Hippolyta keeping him safe until someone proves worthy enough to escort him back to the USA. Wonder Woman while covered in a helmet, wins the challenges and gets to escort Steve back home, but while the challenges were going on, a traitor in the Amazons freed Ares because she loved him. Ares is free, and he goes to Hades so he could remove the bracelets blocking his powers.Throughout being in USA, Diana also tries to stop Ares' plans as Wonder Woman, but she fails the first time, and Ares gets ahold of the power he was searching for. After calling in his army, the US finds an island that appeared out of nowhere on the map, that being Paradise Island. They set off a nuke towards Paradise Island, and Steve manages to stop it, and at the same time, Wonder Woman defeats Ares with help from her Amazonian sisters. She realizes her feelings for Steve, and she kisses him, but when being back in Paradise Island, she looked sad. Hippolyta allowed her to operate in the outside world where she shared her feelings and her life with Steve.
In order to prove her devotion to her people, the Amazons issued a challenge to Diana, one she would have to meet in two days. In the meantime, the Justice League had tracked the insectoid queen down to a remote mountain. The League journeyed deep into the mountain and encountered the queen. Diana condemned her for the lives she has taken, but the insectoid queen replied that it was Diana's actions, namely her throwing of the First Born into the depths of the Earth, that awoke the insectoids from their slumber.[54]

There are two obvious answers, one is wages, and the other is health and safety. So the question is, if we genuinely believe that work should pay and that factory workers should be safe, why do we import steel (or any other product, like Coal) from countries that clearly do not abide by what we see as basic health and safety requirements?
My suggestion is to create a new tariff on imports called the 'health and safety premium'. In very broad terms, we should levy any imports into the UK (or indeed anywhere in Europe) with what we think would be the approximate cost of improving health and safety standards to the requirements in this country.
This suggestion would be double edged, firstly and immediately it would put our steel industry on a level playing field, along with our other materials industries and, in the longer term, raising safety standards elsewhere by removing the profits that are currently being made at the cost of health and lives.
Obviously this would be extremely difficult to implement and operate and we'd have a number of challenges from various bodies. However, when the EU works together, it is very powerful body, representing the largest single market in the world(1)! That means that we can act unilaterally and effectively, demanding that the world catches up with our standards, rather than prejudicing our businesses.
Hi, you're right Chinese steel is subsidised. However, the point is that the cost of Chinese still would be more comparable to UK steel (in the EU) dues to the 'health and safety premium' and therefore the UK steel industry could complete on price terms. It wouldn't solve some of the bigger structural issues around over production.
Obviously there would be a lot of practicalities which would make it difficult!
The premium you suggest will not work because the steel industry in China is operating at a loss, sustained only by Chinese government subsidies. Possibly more feasible ways to combat that is either by temporary price controls on imports, or by government subsidy of domestic steel industries.

BOWL BOUND - Springfield College to Host Maritime in New England Bowl
Springfield, Mass. - November 12, 2018 - For the first time in program history, the Springfield College football program has been selected as a participant in the 2018 New England Bowl Series and will host Maritime at 1 pm on Saturday, November 17.
For the third consecutive year, the competing teams and the host institutions were selected by the commissioners of the four NCAA Division III conferences that have joined forces to present the New England Bowl Series: Commonwealth Coast Football (CCC), the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC), the Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference (MASCAC), and the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC). One year after expanding the New England Bowl series to include a second game, the four commissioners made the decision to add a third game in order to reward numerous seven-win teams that distinguished themselves in their respective conferences this fall. In addition to the Springfield/Maritime game, Endicott will host U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and Bridgewater State will host Salve Regina.
Maritime (7-3 overall, 5-1 ECFC) returns to the New England Bowl Series for the second consecutive year, missing out on an ECFC championship by just one game, a narrow 34-21 defeat at the hands of Husson. The Privateers' offense has averaged 34.5 points per game, outscoring their opponents by an average margin of victory of 12 points per contest. Maritime is led by senior quarterback Thomas Wright (Wantagh, N.Y.) who leads all ECFC passers with 267.8 yards passing per game, while tying for the league lead with 26 touchdown passes, with 12 of those going to senior wideout Brandonn Drumgole (Mt. Sinai, N.Y.). Junior linebacker Liam Bailey (Sayville, N.Y.) leads all ECFC defenders with 11.7 tackles per game.
Springfield (7-3 overall, 5-2 NEWMAC) was one of four NEWMAC teams to register seven or more wins in the regular season. In addition to averaging 25.8 points per contest and a conference-best 292 rushing yards per game, Springfield sports one of the NEWMAC's stingier defenses, surrendering just 263.4 yards per game. The Pride is led on offense by junior quarterback Hunter Belzo (Middletown, Conn.), who tops all NEWMAC rushers with 90.6 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns. Belzo's backfield mate, fullback Tim Callahan (Enfield, Conn.) also sits fourth in the NEWMAC with 57.3 rushing yards per game. On defense, senior defensive end Nick Giorgio (Cumberland, R.I.) has registered a NEWMAC-best 12.5 sacks.
Tickets will be $10 for adults, $5 for students, and free for children five and under.

Mancini wins another Comeback Player of the Year Award
Orioles first baseman and designated hitter Trey Mancini was named the American League Comeback Player of the Year by Major League Baseball.
Mancini, who missed the 2020 season because of colon cancer surgery and chemotherapy, is the first Oriole to win the award.
The 30 beat reporters from MLB.com vote on the award.
Mancini appeared in 147 games for the Orioles, hitting .255 with 21 home runs and 71 RBIs. Only centerfielder Cedric Mullins appeared in more games than Mancini.
In July, Mancini finished second in the Home Run Derby at Colorado's Coors Field, which was held the night before the All-Star Game.
Mancini has become involved with the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, advocating earlier colon cancer screenings. He also began a foundation that bears his name to aid those who are facing illness.
It's the third comeback player award won by Mancini. Last month, he was named the AL Comeback Player in the 2021 Players' Choice Awards and by The Sporting News.

EdgeProp-ILAM Malaysia's Sustainable Landscape Award 2020 Gold Winner: Horizon Hills
Horizon Hills Official Website > Happenings > EdgeProp-ILAM Malaysia's Sustainable Landscape Award 2020 Gold Winner: Horizon Hills
EdgeProp-ILAM Malaysia's Sustainable Landscape Award 2020 Gold: Horizon Hills
It was about 2 o'clock in the afternoon when we took a tour of Horizon Hills in Iskandar Puteri, Johor Bahru. The sun was beaming ruthlessly, but there was still a refreshing breeze to provide some respite, making us thankful for the nature-rich surroundings.
Horizon Hills, a 1,228-acre freehold township jointly developed by Gamuda Land and UEM Sunrise Bhd, dedicates 35% of its land to green lungs and water features. To promote a low-carbon lifestyle, the developer has planted about 55,187 trees within the township to date. The trees supply fresh air and reduce the surrounding temperature for almost 25,000 residents living within and nearby. With greater awareness on global warming, this quality has become an important pull factor for people to live in Horizon Hills.
"One of our main tenets of sustainability is to be responsible in combating climate change," Chief Operating Officer of Gamuda Parks Khariza Abdul Khalid notes.
Gamuda Parks is a sustainable landscape initiative launched by Gamuda Land in May 2018 to look after the design and maintenance of parks within its townships and developments.
From left: EdgeProp Malaysia executive editor Sharon Kam, Khariza, Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin and EdgeProp Malaysia editor-in-chief and managing director Au Foong Yee.
The township's effort in preserving nature and battling climate change through landscape planning has earned it Gold of EdgeProp-ILAM Malaysia's Sustainable Landscape Award 2020, an award of EdgeProp Malaysia's Best Managed and Sustainable Property Awards 2020.
In addition, a project in the township The Cove @ Horizon Hills also won Gold in the below 10 years non-strata residential category. In 2019, D'Suites Condominium @ Horizon Hills bagged the award in the below 10 years multi-own strata residential category.
"We are thankful to our team for believing in and staying true to our town-making principles of thoughtful master planning. The awards validate our dedication to good town-making," Khariza says.
With a gross development value of RM7.2 billion, Horizon Hills will house about 6,000 residential units upon completion. Currently, it is 70% completed, with a total of 4,598 completed units and a commercial centre, a clubhouse and a 178-acre golf course.
An asset not to be sacrificed
When planning landscape at the township, the team is mindful against sacrificing nature for man's convenience, Khariza shares. As a result, a major portion of the natural landscape has been retained when functionality is added to the places.
Khariza: We are mindful that a healthy ecosystem that attracts a rich biodiversity is healthy for human living as well
"Listening to what the land has to tell us guides our aspirations to design thoughtfully," she points out. "We are mindful that a healthy ecosystem that attracts a rich biodiversity is healthy for human living as well."
Horizon Hills boasts a natural habitat with a diverse range of flora and fauna. Among them are six vulnerable species trees and eight endangered ones as stated under the IUCN Red List.
"Not only would flora and fauna appreciate unadulterated nature, but people too. It has been proven that by staying in an environment with more natural elements such as greenery or water features, people are less susceptible to anxiety. There is also a link between greeneries and reduced risk of various illnesses," Khariza elaborates.
"The flourishing of nature within Horizon Hills is an affirmation of the overall health of the landscape. By preserving nature, clean air and cooler temperature within the township is something everyone living nearby can enjoy," she adds.
Horizon Hills dedicates 35% of its land to green lungs and water features.
It is certainly a challenge to keep a vast area of green-scape lush and healthy, as a massive amount of water is required for irrigation. Although we live in a country not short of water resources, Horizon Hills has not taken this for granted.
Water-bodies have been retained and now cover 83 acres in Horizon Hills, making irrigation easier and more cost-efficient. The ponds, lakes and meandering streams also provide scenic vistas and a cooling effect to residents staying nearby.
"As an added bonus, the water-bodies also serve as a natural feature to accentuate the difficulty level of the golf course," Khariza points out.
Stingless bees were introduced to Horizon Hills.
In addition, rainwater harvesting systems have also been installed across various phases at Horizon Hills to reduce ground water consumption for landscape irrigation.
For its golf course, grass species have been carefully selected based on drought tolerance as well as weather and disease resistance to create an easy-to-maintain turf. Coco fibres are also placed at the bottom of all shrubs to reduce the need for watering and to curb weed growth.
Doing things the natural way
Horizon Hills also plays a part in preserving the broader environment by eliminating the use of chemicals in landscape maintenance. For one, the township uses garden waste to create natural compost for bio-fertilisers.
"Besides doing good to the environment, this has also saved us cost from buying chemical fertilisers. Trips to dispose waste could also be reduced, consequently bringing down our transportation cost and carbon footprint," Khariza enthuses.
Apart from this, salt is used to control weeds instead of herbicide, while neem oil is used as insecticide in sensitive areas across the golf course. Another initiative the township carries out is bee cultivation, to encourage pollination without having to use chemical fertilisers.
Khariza shares that wild bees that pose danger to humans were one of the main challenges faced by Horizon Hills. Instead of resorting to insecticides, the township has chosen sustainable methods to tackle this problem.
"We introduced stingless bees, and so far, they have been effective in driving away the wild bees. The stingless bees are harmless, and as added benefits, their honey can be harvested, besides being used to pollinate the flora around the area," she highlights.

Bat – Daubenton
Mammals 2 (Bats), Wildlife Facts
The Daubenton Bat (Myotis daubentonii) is also known as the 'water bat' as it fishes insects from the water's surface with its large feet or uses its tail membrane as a scoop. It can be
found in England, Scotland and wales.
On a bat detector the calls are heard as a machine gun like series of regular clicks for bursts of 5 to 10 seconds. Daubenton's bat calls range from 35 to 85kHz and are loudest at 45 to 50kHz
Daubenton's bats may be found in tunnels or bridges over canals and rivers, or in caves, mines and cellars. They are only occasionally found in buildings, usually old stone structures such as moated castles and waterworks. And sometimes they are find in tree-holes and bat boxes. They can be quite noisy throughout the day, especially at sites where they are close to human activity. Although usually solitary, small groups of three or four are not uncommon. Individuals are often lodged in tight crevices and are barely visible.
Daubenton's bats usually feed within about 6km of the roost, but have been recorded following canals for up to 10km (at speeds of up to 25kph). They have a steady flight, often within a few centimetres of the water surface and is reminiscent of a small hovercraft. They take insects from close to the water. They feed mainly on small flies (especially chironomid midges), caddisflies and mayflies.
The Daubenton's bat is a medium-sized species with a head and body length of 45 – 55mm. Its fur colour is red brown, and the underpart of the body is pale. It is distinctive by its pinkish face which is bare around the eyes. The wingspan of this bat is 240mm-275mm and it weighs 7g – 12g.
Mating usually takes place in the autumn but active males will continue to mate throughout the winter. Maternity roosts are occupied from late spring and sometimes until October. Young bats are suckled for several weeks and are fully weaned and able to forage for themselves at 6 to 8 weeks. The average colony size is between 20 to 50 bats (up to 200). Daubenton's bats can live for up to 22 years.
In Britain all bat species and their roosts are legally protected, by both domestic and international legislation.

FSU researchers unravel mystery of how, when DNA replicates
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- A team of Florida State University researchers has unlocked a decades-old mystery about how a critical cellular process is regulated and what that could mean for the future study of genetics.
In cells, DNA and its associated material replicate at regular intervals, a process essential to all living organisms. This contributes to everything from how the body responds to disease to hair color. DNA replication was identified in the late 1950s, but since then researchers across the globe have come up short trying to understand exactly how this process was regulated. Now they know.
David Gilbert, the J. Herbert Taylor Distinguished Professor of Molecular Biology, and doctoral student Jiao Sima published a paper today in the journal Cell that showed there are specific points along the DNA molecule that control replication.
"It's been quite a mystery," Gilbert said. "Replication seemed resilient to everything we tried to do to perturb it. We've described it in detail, shown it changes in different cell types and that it is disrupted in disease. But until now, we couldn't find that final piece, the control elements or the DNA sequences that control it."
Notably, Gilbert's professorship is in honor of a former Florida State professor named J. Herbert Taylor. Taylor demonstrated how different segments of chromosomes duplicate in the late 1950s and published more than 100 papers on chromosome structure and replication. Roughly 60 years later, Gilbert determined how replication was regulated.
Sima had been working with Gilbert in the lab and ran close to a hundred genetic mutations on DNA molecules, hoping to see some sort of result that would better explain how the replication process worked. At a point of frustration, Gilbert said they came up with a "hail Mary" attempt.
Gilbert and Sima examined a single segment of the DNA in the highest possible 3D resolution and saw three sequences along the DNA molecule touching each other frequently. The researchers then used CRISPR, a sophisticated gene editing technology, to remove these three areas simultaneously.
And with that, they found that these three elements together were the key to DNA replication.
"Removing these elements shifted the segment's replication time from the very beginning to the very end of the process," Gilbert said. "This was one of those moments where just one result knocks your socks off."
In addition to the effect on replication timing, the removal of the three elements caused the 3D structure of the DNA molecule to change dramatically.
"We have for the first time pinpointed specific DNA sequences in the genome that regulate chromatin structure and replication timing," Sima said. "These results reflect one possible model of how DNA folds inside cells and how these folding patterns could impact the hereditary materials' function."
Greater understanding of how DNA replication is regulated opens new paths of research in genetics. When replication timing is altered -- as it was in Gilbert and Sima's experiment -- it can completely change how the genetic information of a cell is interpreted.
This could become crucial information as scientists tackle complicated diseases where the replication timing is disrupted.
"If you duplicate at a different place and time, you might assemble a completely different structure," Gilbert said. "A cell has different things available to it at different times. Changing when something replicates changes the packaging of the genetic information."
This research was supported by the National Institutes of Health.

Planned Parenthood Doubles Down on the Fight for New Women's Health Policies
For Immediate Release: Feb. 4, 2014
States Pass the Same Dangerous Restrictions, While Planned Parenthood Action Fund Calls for New Leadership
NEW YORK — Upon the heels of a new report making plain that access to a range of birth control methods is playing an important role in reducing unintended pregnancy and decreasing the need for abortion, states continue to debate and pass alarming bills that will harm women's health by restricting access to quality providers, delaying abortion so it's later in pregnancy, or banning doctors from following evidence-based guidelines for care. Politicians are pushing these dangerous restrictions in states where safe and legal abortion is already highly restricted.
"It's only five weeks into the new year, and already out-of-touch politicians are passing dangerous and unconstitutional bills that will have a real impact on thousands of women if they are signed into law," said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund.
For example, today Indiana state senators passed new, targeted restrictions on abortion providers opposed by local ob-gyns — even while restrictions enacted last year were blocked from enforcement while a lawsuit proceeds. In Kentucky, state senators are likely to vote this week on an intrusive mandatory ultrasound bill similar to laws struck down by state and federal courts in North Carolina and Oklahoma. Having already enacted restrictions on abortion that have led to lengthy litigation, Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant called further restrictions on abortion a goal this year, and the House is expected to vote this week on an abortion ban similar to ones struck down in Arizona and Idaho, and temporarily blocked in Georgia. Missouri currently only has only one abortion provider, yet extreme representatives there are poised to pass a bill that would triple the state-mandated waiting period for an abortion, thus forcing abortion later into a woman's pregnancy. Meanwhile, the Department of Health Services in Arizona wrote new rules for abortion providers with provisions similar to policies opposed by the American Medical Association and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
"The only way to stop these dangerous bills from passing in the first place — and to protect women's health — is to make a change in leadership at the state level," Richards continued. "Just ask the people of New Hampshire, where new leaders that value women's health were elected, and as a result a multi-year campaign against Planned Parenthood's patients was abandoned. Last week, state leaders unanimously voted to restore funding for 14,000 women who receive free and low-cost birth control and health exams at Planned Parenthood health centers."
In 2012, Planned Parenthood of Northern New England Action Fund and Planned Parenthood Action Fund partnered to elect Colin Van Ostern and Chris Pappas, two candidates who ran on a platform of re-attuning the focus of the Executive Council back to its primary role of fostering good jobs and strong communities. They have stuck to that promise by protecting women's access to free and reduced cost preventive health services at Planned Parenthood of Northern New England. On January 29, 2014 — two and a half years after three former councilors led a crusade against Planned Parenthood of Northern New England's patients — the Title X program at Planned Parenthood was restored by a vote of 4-0.
In recent years, politicians have waged an unprecedented assault on women's access to reproductive health care at the state level. Using bogus claims of protecting "women's health and safety," extreme politicians across the country have been chipping away at reproductive rights, state-by-state. In fact, a report issued in January found that more state abortion restrictions were enacted in 2011–2013 than in entire previous decade. This is despite polls showing that a majority of Americans (70 percent) oppose efforts to overturn Roe v. Wade.
"No matter what comes our way, Planned Parenthood is fighting back with everything we've got, wherever we need to. This week alone, Planned Parenthood is fighting for thousands of women in statehouses and court rooms from Indiana to Mississippi — all while more than 700 Planned Parenthood health centers care for patients across the country," said Richards.

Living with one of the many types of cerebral palsy still means that you or your loved one can live independently, comfortably and in the way you want to. With cerebral palsy care at home, we provide day-to-day support so you can keep your independence.
With nearly 30 years' experience in providing specialist home care, we provide live-in care and visiting care for people with cerebral palsy within the comfort of their own homes. One of our expertly trained and specially chosen carers can provide all the one-to-one assistance required, whether that is medical help, personal care, help around the home or ongoing companionship.
By choosing Helping Hands for your home care, we create a custom-made care plan completely based upon your needs and requirements. We place special importance on matching you with someone who has the same interests, likes and dislikes. Our cerebral palsy support workers are assisting people every day to live the lives they want, whether that's supporting them at home, at work, through study, on holiday or through active social lives.
Our carers are renowned, not only for the first-rate training they receive, but also for their commitment to the people they support. If you're looking for quality cerebral palsy care at home, contact us today to discuss the many options available.
David, who has quadriplegic cerebral palsy, is studying for a PhD in Politics and International Relations at Swansea University. With the help of Michael, his Helping Hands live-in carer, he is successfully mixing study with everyday university life.
Jayne, David's mum, said: "Thank you to all at Helping Hands for making my life a lot less stressful and much more relaxing. I feel like a real person with life choices.
There are a variety of types of cerebral palsy. We recognise that a cerebral palsy care plan for one customer isn't going to be suitable for another customer – symptoms of medical conditions vary from person to person. For this reason, our home care is tailored specifically to the needs of the individual.
The existing routines and lifestyle of someone receiving support are sometimes forgotten about. However, with Helping Hands, we build our care around each of our customers. This enables our cerebral palsy support workers to meet the requirements of you or your loved one, by providing care that meets the high standards we set ourselves.
All of our carers are well-trained and experienced. When needed, they can step in to provide medical support with catheterisations, as well as convene, and stoma support. They can also provide help with a series of everyday tasks, from cooking and cleaning through to collecting prescriptions and assisting customers in getting to hospital appointments.
Verbal communication is sometimes an issue when caring for someone with cerebral palsy. So our carers will look towards other methods. We'll find a communication form that suits the individual. Our cerebral palsy carers will also make adaptation suggestions about how to improve mobility around the home.
We work closely with individuals, their families, physiotherapists, care case managers, hospitals, GPs, speech therapists and other healthcare organisations to ensure the support we provide is suitable for each individual's needs.
We understand that reaching out for cerebral palsy care isn't easy at first, especially when caring for a young person with cerebral palsy. And the idea of welcoming someone new into the home can be daunting. But we're here to walk you through each step of your care journey with us.
Our friendly team of advisors will explain all the options for cerebral palsy care with you and how we build a suitable, person-centred care plan together and match you with a support worker who suits your lifestyle and needs. Call us today to find out more.

Airmen allowed to show service colors while traveling
By Staff Sgt. C. Todd Lopez
WASHINGTON (May 13, 2005) -- A new Air Force policy gives Airmen the choice to show their colors when traveling to and from deployment locations.
Airmen traveling to and from the U.S. Central Command Air Forces' area of responsibility have been, until recently, required to wear civilian clothing on flights in and out of the area.
Under a new policy, Airmen now have the option to wear their desert combat uniform on those flights. The policy change came after suggestions to both the chief of staff and chief master sergeant of the Air Force, said Senior Master Sgt. Dana Athnos, the Air Force's uniform board superintendent.
"This started with queries to Air Force senior (leaders) as they toured the AOR," Sergeant Athnos said. "This was about pride. Other services were coming home in uniform and experiencing tremendous support along the way from the American public. Our Airmen were in civilian clothes, and people didn't readily recognize them as Air Force personnel. They simply want the country to know they are proud of their service too."
The new policy allows Airmen to wear their uniforms when traveling inside the United States to their port of departure, so long as they fly aboard a U.S.-based airline. Airmen may also wear their uniforms when traveling to the AOR if they are flying on a military or chartered commercial aircraft. The same rules apply when Airmen come home.
One concern for policy makers is that Airmen remember to conduct themselves as true Air Force professionals. Sergeant Athnos said Airmen are reminded that their uniforms must always be clean and serviceable; they must be in compliance with dress and appearance instructions and always conduct themselves in a manner befitting the Air Force.
Some Airmen might want to wear their uniforms when traveling to a deployed location, but are afraid of drawing unnecessary attention to themselves.
Sergeant Athnos said U.S. airports have plenty of security, and that the Air Force has historically allowed or even required Airmen to be in uniform when aboard aircraft.
"Besides, if you were in civilian clothes, you would still have your web gear and your mobility bags with you, and you are still hanging around the (United Services Organization)," she said. "It's not a secret that you are in the military."
Also, part of the policy is a requirement that Airmen carry a change of civilian clothes with them if they choose to wear a uniform, and a clean uniform if they choose to wear civilian clothes. That kind of preparedness allows Airmen to adjust their appearance should the situation demand it.

The Delpozo Style
Production Creative Director: Josep Font
The Spanish Origins
Delpozo was founded in 1974 in Madrid, by the expert hands of the Spanish designer Jesús del Pozo. After forty years of success, following the death of the founder in 2011, the brand was acquired by Grupo Perfumes y Diseño. The brand becomes the spokesman of craftsmanship and artistic tradition in the fashion world.
Being a voice out of the chorus has made Delpozo a brand with an immediately recognizable image. The delicacy and charm of the famous Spanish fashion house made fall in love with the American first lady Melania Trump who, on several occasions (such as the official visit to Seoul), wore Delpozo garments.
The company's couture techniques, consolidated over time, have an incredible modern sensibility. The house of prêt-à-couture is dressed in contrasting elements: traditional and modern, architectural elements, but also organic. Delpozo always has a creative approach to volume, color and silhouette; artisanal techniques and complex embroideries are present in all collections.
The Architectural Silhouettes
In 2018 the philosophy of the Maison is "less is more", to echo the architectural style of its style. Delpozo juggles between balance in proportions and never shameless elegance, creating timeless pieces.
The Delpozo collections are made in Spain, in small ateliers. The pieces are so intricate and detailed that they need to be made by ateliers who know the art of craftsmanship. However, the shoes are produced in Italy.
Delpozo fabrics are always natural: organza, poplin, silk tulle, double wool crepe, with some combinations with more modern fabrics like PVC and crinoline. The collections, all very colorful, are filled with nuances.
The handmade embroidery is masterfully created with the most refined and avant-garde materials, using techniques from both the Haute Couture and the Ecole Lesage in Paris. The skilled craftsmanship and intricate details applied are consistent with the prêt-à-couture philosophy of Delpozo.
Creative Director: Josep Font
Font was appointed Creative Director of Delpozo in 2012. Trained as an architect, he began his career presenting collections in Barcelona, Madrid, Tokyo and Paris. He showed his couture collections in Paris as a guest member of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture.
Josep Font Creative Director
A little more than five years after his appointment, Josep has achieved a great success: he has succeeded in relaunching the brand with an international focus. Inspired by the couturier Pedro Rodriguez, the original designer of Santa Perpetua de Mogoda, puts the attention in the craftsmanship, while maintaining a modern twist. Given its formation, the creations of the designer are inspired by organic architecture (in the shapes or in the floral details), art and nature. These three elements always return to the collections, season after season. Art in the form of dance like ballet, as well.
After five years of successes during the New York Fashion Week, Delpozo makes his debut in London with a show that describes the authenticity of the brand.
The London Debut
The stylist Josep Font focuses attention on the delicacy of pastel colors that sweeten a minimalist silhouette. The rose celebrates top over with maxi bow or, more simply, long evening dress with luminescent details on the shoulders.
The fall / winter 2018-19 collection plays on prints like the pied-de-poule cape, polka dot pullovers or floral prints. The look, moreover, is united by a stylized corolla in life that emphasizes the contained volumes of silk and tulle dresses and tailored suits with an asymmetrical cut. The collection expresses the glamor of a maison that focuses on luxury but discreetly, praising the purism of the lines and the quality of the garments.

A: p, input, button are already centered with respect to their parent: .quiz-container
Maybe you are looking for it to be centered with respect to the complete screen/viewport. In that case you need to set the min-height of html, body and quiz-container to 100%.
Now .quizcontainer has 100% height and its children will be centered
both vertically and horizontally.

  min-height: 100%; /*add this*/

i cant id this signature or style it has a very ols style lock wire that swings up after you put the pin in place just under the overhang latch/catch.
im pretty sure its sterling or a form of 925 950 silver it is definitly worked by hand a steady hand at that,is my feeling due to the jiberish i cant make out on the corner of where initals are carved or stamped in then ive never seen that other stuff but if you stand/view further away a pattern forms like a picaso print does with the dots. it then looks like a grouping of 4 or 5 letters. the front of the pendant/brooch has been cut out of another metal that polishes and looks like Rose Gold or maybe copper i didnt want to hack into it and im out of testing gels. but it definitltly at first glance many years ago when it was being moved from place to place i first thought ALLEN CHEE but this week that went away after i sat and studied it several times for many hours at a time. He uses alot of 14kt yellow or rose gold atop his creations in sterling it is of the type as is here mostly he uses more native american symbols like Eagles & hawks w/Floral Native American motifs . but i only have viewed his stuff from 15 yrs ago til now. Hey does anyone want to weigh in on Hanty belt buckel and my piece to maybe link any info either way? i dont remember where i got this piece but i have had it for the past 20-25yrs now. thank you.
What does it say in corner on back, there is a stamp?
If it says "C"hin"A", please lie to us ! LOL !
I don't think this a Native American piece. The bird is a Quetzal, and is a popular motif used in both Mexican and Guatemalan jewelry.
Having spent a lot of time in Guatemala, I can't believe that I missed ID'ing the quetzal ! I'll blame it on the crick I get in my neck from trying to look at all the damned sideways pix on CW !
I have 60x some pictures if a signature looks like a C or D. Then F ?
Beautiful item and I think Clementine4 recognized first.
I have looked again to see if anyone kd'd this yet and to me the "C" looks like it may be a U or O at the end of the other sig and the bottom one maybe just the Ya???
Regardless, and very frustrating as it may be, it's still a nice piece!
I think I see "900" there for the silver content. Agree on Central American origin - Peru, Guatemala, etc.

    $('td.coloured').css({'background-color':'#8F8F8F','border-color':'black','border-width':'thin'}).toggleClass('coloured');
    $.get('php/test2.php', function(response) {
  console.log(response, );
    $.each(response, function(index, item) {
    console.log(item.beacon,item.delivery_avg,item.location)

        updatea();

}
  var updatemyFunctionInterval = setInterval(updatec, 5000);
});
</script>

A: It seems you have declared updateb as an internal function of updatea and updatec as an internal function of updateb.
You need to move the functions updateb and updatec out of function updatea.
Update to following
function updatea() {
    // your code
}

function updateb() {
    // your code
}

function updatec(){
     updateb();
     updatea();
}

var updatemyFunctionInterval = setInterval(updatec, 5000);

A: You need to define functions in a common scope:
<script>
  $(document).ready(function() {

    $.get('php/beacon.php', function(response) {
      console.log(response);
      var row;
      response.forEach(function(item, index) {
        console.log(item);
        $(`td.${item.beacon}`).css('background-color', item.location).toggleClass('coloured');
      });
    });

    function updatea() {
      $('td.coloured').css({'background-color':'#8F8F8F','border-color':'black','border-width':'thin'}).toggleClass('coloured');
      $.get('php/test2.php', function(response) {
        console.log(response);
        $.each(response, function(index, item) {
          console.log(item.beacon,item.delivery_avg,item.location)
          $(`td.${item.beacon}`).css({'background-color':item.location,'border-color':'black','border-width':'thin'}).addClass('coloured');
        });
      });
    }

    function updateb() {
      $('td.coloured').css({'background-color':'#8F8F8F','border-color':'black','border-width':'thin'}).toggleClass('coloured');
    }

    function updatec(){
      updateb();
      updatea();
    }

    var updatemyFunctionInterval = setInterval(updatec, 5000);
  });
</script>

A: updateb wrongly defined in updatea's context.
Run this -

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
    $(document).ready(function() {

        $.get('php/beacon.php', function(response) {
            console.log(response);
            var row;
            response.forEach(function(item, index) {
                console.log(item);
                $(`td.${item.beacon}`).css('background-color', item.location).toggleClass('coloured');
            });
        });

        function updatea() {
                $('td.coloured').css({'background-color':'#8F8F8F','border-color':'black','border-width':'thin'}).toggleClass('coloured');
                $.get('php/test2.php', function(response) {
                console.log(response, );
                $.each(response, function(index, item) {
                console.log(item.beacon,item.delivery_avg,item.location)
                    $(`td.${item.beacon}`).css({'background-color':item.location,'border-color':'black','border-width':'thin'}).addClass('coloured');
                });
            });

        }

        function updateb() {
            $('td.coloured').css({'background-color':'#8F8F8F','border-color':'black','border-width':'thin'}).toggleClass('coloured');
        };

        function updatec(){
            updateb();
            updatea();
        }
        var updatemyFunctionInterval = setInterval(updatec, 5000);
    });

The Nockamixon Mountain Bike Trail System is CLOSED until further notice due to excessive numbers of fallen/leaning trees as well as hanging branches. Nockamixon trail builders hiked portions of the system today and verified that the trails are currently impassable.
Please avoid riding at Nockamixon until an 'all-clear' is posted here. Updates will be posted here as work commences this weekend and progresses for the forseeable future to clear the system loop-by-loop.
Thank you for you cooperation and patience.
An additional berm and associated drainage improvements were installed on the central portion of Upper Hammer loop yesterday. No trailwork will take place next weekend due to the Noxtoberfest poker ride.
An additional berm and associated drainage improvements were added today on the central portion of the Upper Hammer loop. Work will continue next week generally uphill in a southeasterly directon on Upper Hammer.
Thanks to all the kids and their parents who turned out to enjoy dry trails, beautiful scenery, and cool/comfortable weather on Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day 2012 today. Morning showers and ominously rainy forecasts gave way to an enjoyable afternoon where kids got to finetune their riding skills on one of the best trail systems in Pennsylvania. Looking forward to TAKMBD 2013 - be there!
Work was undertaken today to significantly improve the entry/exit on the Lower Hammer crick crossing nearest the Route 563 (Mountain View Dr.) bridge. Work next week will likely shift back to drainage improvements on the South Park loop approaching Gnome Home from the northwest.

Watch Lindsey Graham Get Harassed By MAGA Rioters At The Airport, As A Treat
Erin Corbett
Despite being one of President Donald Trump's most loyal backers, Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham was heckled by the president's supporters at Reagan International Airport on Friday. Trump supporters had choice words for the Republican Senator who finally broke with Trump earlier this week after a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol led by white nationalists and MAGA loyalists.
After spending the months since the election hyping up Trump's base with conspiracy theories about the election being stolen, Graham is facing the consequences of his actions. In videos posted to Twitter, several people can be heard calling Graham a "traitor," with one woman threatening, "You know it was rigged! It's gonna be like this wherever you go for the rest of your life. Audit the vote!" The same woman later called him a "garbage human being."
Another person called Graham a "sex trafficker," an apparent nod to the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory that Democrats are involved in an underground child sex trafficking ring. The mob of Trump supporters — many of them maskless after attending a super-spreader insurrection in the middle of a global pandemic — followed Graham to his gate, and repeatedly hurled insults at him.
During Wednesday's Congressional vote to certify the Electoral College results, Graham finally voted in favor of certifying incoming president Joe Biden.
"All I can say is, count me out. Enough is enough… It is over," he said on the Senate floor, following the siege earlier that day. "I prayed Joe Biden would lose. He won. He's the legitimate president of the United States. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are lawfully elected and will become the president and vice president of the United States on January 20th." He added, "Trump, we've had a hell of a journey. I hate it to end this way. Oh my God, I hate it. From my point of view, he's been a consequential president. But today… all I can say is, count me out."
At a press conference on Thursday, Graham denounced the attack on the Capitol and implicated Trump in the violence. "When it comes to accountability the president needs to understand that his actions were the problem not the solution," he said.
Perhaps Graham is getting exactly what he deserves after pushing lies about the election that put peoples lives in danger. Unfortunately, the mob of angry Trump supporters who were obviously in D.C. for some kind of political event — an attempted coup, perhaps? — also pose a public health risk to anyone around them at the airport, and especially to people boarding the same flights. The fact that any of these insurrectionists are even allowed to get on a flight home two days after storming the Capitol speaks volumes.
Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?

The clothing and symbols that Capitol rioters wore reveal a deeper story about possible future threats
We combed through hours of video footage and hundreds of social media accounts to identify the symbols that Trump supporters displayed at the Capitol on January 6. Among them were an OK hand gesture hijacked to read "WP" for white power, a neo-Nazi tattoo, and a Camp Auschwitz sweatshirt. Some people promoted the views of conspiracy groups and white supremacists, while others protested election fraud. These beliefs are often fueled by President Donald Trump's rhetoric and continue to pose a threat to American democracy.
