A few years back I got quite badly bullied by one person at school.
Probably the biggest thing he did to me that I remember is when he punched me in the back, really hard, completely unprovoked.
Presently, my neck still clicks and pops involuntarily, and I get into these weird chains of thought where I thinkif he never punched me, my neck wouldn't have clicked, and so and so would've happened, and then i would've met so and so, spoken to him, done that…. And although this sounds silly its true isnt it, so I get really angry and upset.
But should I blame him? When I have got help for this, I have been told to look at the other side of the coin - like his state of mind and what must've happened in his life to make him how he is.
But that means I can't blame him for punching me? If this happened to you, would you blame him or understand that stuff might've happened to him?
PS. I actually managed to get in touch with him, and when I asked why he did it, he says he cant remember.
In looking at this situation as objectively as I can, the only thing I can say is that I'm not sure if it is a good idea for you to blame a single instance for your problems with cracking.
Although, the unprovoked physical harm is itself reason enough to question the person's attitude towards life. Bullies and spazes are difficult to deal with and if they find attention in someone elses harm they can cause a lot of damage. If you can avoid this person and maintain a "you got me, your probably just better than me" attitude towards them, its probably for the better.
As for cracking, eating a balanced diet with all the food groups is the easiest thing I can suggest.
unless the person who punched you is a freekin powerhouse spaz and you only crack in the area that you were hit.
If thats the case, then rehabilitation could be a lot more difficult.
He is pretty big, but we never see each other now.
Or do you think my neck would crack anyway?

Album Review – After Laughter – Paramore
Well, it has finally happened. Paramore fully admitted that they are the pop band we always knew they were. And you know what? They put together one of the best records of 2017 so far to announce it.
After Laughter is the best of Paramore's five studio albums. It's first Paramore album to really use Hayley Williams' terrific voice and the first album on which the band was sufficiently free as to not drag back Williams' vocals. But it's not an album that the fans who think Riot's punk pop angst is the epitome of Paramore will like. Still, if you like pop and give it a chance, you will find something that gets you dancing, or at least listening raptly.
The thing that marks a great pop album for most people is a lot of great hooks and catchy melodies, which After Laughter has in abundance. The lead single "Hard Times" is a perfectly fine pop song with hooks and catch galore, and a fine leadoff. But the payoff is later on the album, with some really great songs like the sardonically cheerful "Told You So", the honestly introspective "Forgiveness", and the gorgeous acoustic "26". There are 12 tracks on this album and I honestly love 9 of them.
Recommendation: Buy It
Songs I have a Playlist for: Hard Times, Rose-colored Boy, Told You So, Forgiveness, Fake Happy, 26, Pool, Grudges, Tell Me How
Songs I would Thumbs down: None.

One popular and widely use of augmented reality based application, is the projection of points of interests on top of the phones' camera view. In this paper we discuss the implementation of an AR application that acts as a magic lens over printed maps, overlaying POIs and routes. This method expands the information space available to members of groups during navigation, partially mitigating the issue of several group members trying to share a small screen device. Our work complements existing literature by focusing on the navigation tasks and by using self-reporting questionnaires to measure affective state and user experience. We evaluate this system with groups of real tourists in a pre- liminary field trial and report our findings.

Decision on Booster Dose Timely, Says IMA's General Secretary On Rising Omicron Cases: 5 Points
New Delhi: On Monday (January 10), India saw a single-day rise of 1.79 lakh (1,79,723) new Novel coronavirus cases, raising the tally to 3.57 crore, which included 4,033 cases of Omicron variant reported across 27 states and union territories. The country reported 146 deaths linked to the SARS-CoV-2. India is currently reeling under the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic which is said to be driven by the Omicron variant of the virus. Amid the surge in cases, the country today rolled out precaution dose or booster dose for healthcare and frontline workers and senior citizens with comorbidities. In a special interview, the Banega Swasth India team spoke to Dr Jayesh Lele, General Secretary, Indian Medical Association (IMA) to take stock of the current COVID situation.
Also Read: India Starts Administration Of Booster Doses To Healthcare, Frontline Workers, Senior Citizens: 10 Things To Know
5 Key Points By IMA Official On COVID-19 And Omicron Variant:
The decision on precaution or booster or third dose is timely. It's very important to vaccinate healthcare workers because we have lost a lot of them. There are two key issues – firstly, there is a shortage of healthcare workers. Secondly, we lost around 2,000 doctors during the second wave of the pandemic. Healthcare workers include everyone ranging from nurses to paramedical staff and ward boys. They work overtime and when infected, the viral load is high as a result of which, they are exposed for a longer period of time.
Five to eight per cent of healthcare workers were infected with COVID-19 by the end of the second wave of the pandemic in India. Now, with the Omicron variant, we are seeing that healthcare workers who were exposed to the virus in the previous waves and are fully vaccinated are getting reinfected. Naturally, a third dose is required.
In India, the third dose will be of the same vaccine as people have received for their first and second doses. The mix and match thinking is there but at the moment, we cannot do any experiment because we don't have that much time. Also, if you go for cross vaccination then you need to keep in mind the vaccine availability.
The decision on booster dose for the entire adult population will come immediately; towards the end of the third wave. We are opening up vaccination in a phased manner like, last week, vaccination of children aged between 15 and 18 began.
India is three to five weeks behind South Africa in terms of Omicron cases. Based on how Omicron peaked in South Africa, in a week's time, India will reach the peak of the third wave. By the third week of February, cases should start declining.

NDTV – Dettol have been working towards a clean and healthy India since 2014 via Banega Swachh India initiative, which is helmed by Campaign Ambassador Amitabh Bachchan. The campaign aims to highlight the inter-dependency of humans and the environment, and of humans on one another with the focus on One Health, One Planet, One Future – Leaving No One Behind. It stresses on the need to take care of, and consider, everyone's health in India – especially vulnerable communities – the LGBTQ population, indigenous people, India's different tribes, ethnic and linguistic minorities, people with disabilities, migrants, geographically remote populations, gender and sexual minorities. In wake of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the need for WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) is reaffirmed as handwashing is one of the ways to prevent Coronavirus infection and other diseases. The campaign will continue to raise awareness on the same along with focussing on the importance of nutrition and healthcare for women and children, fight malnutrition, mental wellbeing, self care, science and health, adolescent health & gender awareness. Along with the health of people, the campaign has realised the need to also take care of the health of the eco-system. Our environment is fragile due to human activity, that is not only over-exploiting available resources, but also generating immense pollution as a result of using and extracting those resources. The imbalance has also led to immense biodiversity loss that has caused one of the biggest threats to human survival – climate change. It has now been described as a "code red for humanity." The campaign will continue to cover issues like air pollution, waste management, plastic ban, manual scavenging and sanitation workers and menstrual hygiene. Banega Swasth India will also be taking forward the dream of Swasth Bharat, the campaign feels that only a Swachh or clean India where toilets are used and open defecation free (ODF) status achieved as part of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014, can eradicate diseases like diahorrea and the country can become a Swasth or healthy India.

TIRED, SORE AND STRESSED OUT? Most people would agree a massage makes them feel good. But many probably don't realise exactly how good a regular massage is for their overall health. Did you know massage could improve performance, aid recovery, prevent and eliminate injuries, reduce stress and even enhance metabolism and circulation? With so many alternative health treatments available it's little wonder people get confused about where to go when they're not feeling the best. Here are just some ways a massage could help you!
Improve your health. The reason you feel different after a massage is because it is healing and invigorating tired, aching or injured muscles by increasing blood and lymph circulation, which together with blood, supplies nutrients and oxygen and rids wastes and toxins. It is easy to understand why good circulation is so important to our health and why massage can be so beneficial just for this purpose.
For the athlete. Many people believe aches and pains are an inevitable consequence to activity but it doesn't have to be!! Massage can actually reduce or eliminate pain associated with exercise and improve recovery by reducing irritation from waste.
Injury and recovery. Massage also helps recovery from soft tissue injuries. Tissue growth and repair is accelerated by efficient circulation and appropriate stimulation. Some injuries that massage can help with include headaches and migraines, frozen shoulder, back pain, tennis elbow, over-use injuries, shin splints as well as strains and sprains.
Heal the mind and body. Everybody experiences some form of stress through work, family, the environment and society. Mental tensions, frustrations, and insecurity cause the most damage. Hormones released by stress actually shrink the vessels, inhibiting circulation. A stressed mind and body means the heart works harder. Breathing becomes rapid and shallow and digestion slows. Nearly every body process is degraded. Studies show stress can cause migraines, hypertension (high blood pressure), depression, some peptic ulcers, etc. In fact, researchers have estimated 80% of disease is stress related. Soothing and relaxing massage therapy can counteract the effects of stress.
QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED. Activ Therapy massage therapists are all professionally qualified and registered, with years of experience providing "hands on therapy" for all conditions. That way you can be sure to always be receiving safe, effective and tailored treatment. Every time.
Relieves complaints of pain and discomfort by manipulating the muscles to restore normal functions. By compressing and applying friction along a particular muscle, deep sections of thick muscles are reached, particularly individual muscle fibres. This unlocks the fibres or muscles, releasing both toxins and deeply held tension points.
WE WORK WITH YOUR PHYSIO, CHIRO AND DOCTOR.
At Activ Therapy we believe that you will get the best results with a team of professionals working together. Our massage therapists, chiropractors, physiotherapists and exercise physiologists have combined our knowledge to give you the best treatment and focus on lasting change.
Activ Therapy will work closely with your doctor or therapist to make sure your program is working for you. Call us to find out how massage therapy can help you.


1.0 out of 5 starsBakwas class card.
Third class card, even it's have no any class. Ekdum bakwas, 1st month acha performance hoga, after 1st month khrab ho jayega phir return bhi nehi hota. Bas paisa barbaad. Don't waste your money for this bakwas class card. Shop me jao or khud chek karke kharidkr laao.
Me toh ye kahungi ki kuch bhi electronic siz yha se nehi khrido. Ek b star nehi meri tarf se but star pane k chakar me bina star ka option b nehi rakha.
Suddenly I could not store any data and all the data that was stored dint work and later got erased and now it says "SD card is corrupt. Tap to fix"
I purchased 4 Sandisk 32Gb micro sd cards. 2 of them have 29.80Gb of actual free storage space (which is to be expected), but one has only 29.43Gb, and one has 29.29Gb (500Mb less). You can never be sure of what you are buying. Unfortunately, other brands in this price range seem to have the same problem, so if a few hundred MB is not an issue for you, go ahead and take a punt. The storage medium itself hashas been reliable so far.
It is Class-4, and extremely slow data transfer. I switched from 16GB Class-10 memory card to this one, and found the phone is almost dead, for file explorer and wired data transfer. Planning to buy another 64GB Class-10 or better, to replace this one.
1.0 out of 5 starsI need to exchange this product as it's a corrupt memory card.
I want to give a zero star. The product which you has sold to me is a corrupt memory card my fault is I open this product after 15 days of purchase so I am unable to return.. request you to if it is possible please exchange a product.
This product was not working in mobile. And when I checked it in laptop it was showing size as 121MB. Looks to be a duplicate product.

TUESDAY, Oct. 18 (HealthDay News) -- Colorectal cancers contain high levels of a bacterium that may contribute to the cancer and could prove important in diagnosing, treating and preventing it, according to new research.
A team from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Broad Institute in Boston analyzed nine samples of normal colon tissue and nine samples of colorectal cancer tissue and found unusually high numbers of Fusobacterium cells in the tumor samples.


The church's least utilized asset are the men who attend. Kenny Luck encourages men, to get engaged in their local church and to catch a vision of what the Body of Christ can accomplish when each man's passion for the Great Commission is ignited. He also reflects on a wife's ability to motivate and encourage her husband, especially pertaining to involvement in ministry.
Kenny: If you have a guy and you say, "Hey, you can greet people, usher, and do the parking lot ministry," —for him—the way God made him to be someone great and do great things—that's not resonating. We orphan them in the absence of a strong vision and pathway of involvement to the world to be great. That's why you have millions affiliated, but not activated, because they don't sense or feel like they're valued. They know they are valued by how a church is investing in programs for them.
Bob: This is FamilyLife Today for Monday, January 7th. Our host is the President of FamilyLife®, Dennis Rainey, and I'm Bob Lepine. Kenny Luck believes that if the church is going to be the church and the Kingdom of God is going to be advanced, then, men have to be called to step up and be men. We're going to talk about that today. Stay tuned.
Dennis: Oh, no, no, no, no.
Dennis: They're going to find out a lot as they relate to their husbands, maybe their boyfriends, maybe as they raise their sons and daughters.
Bob: You think they are going to be curious about all this men-stuff we're going to be talking about here?
Dennis: —the women go, "That is really good stuff!" [Laughter] The guys grunt, but the women—the women are all over it!
Bob: They get pretty excited about it. You're right. Good point.
Dennis: And they're going to like our guest on today's broadcast. Kenny Luck joins us from Saddleback—all the way from Southern California. Welcome to Arkansas, Kenny.
Kenny: Thank you, Dennis and Bob. It's great to be here.
Dennis: Kenny is the Men's Pastor of Saddleback. He is the President and Founder of Every Man Ministries. He's written more than 20 books, including a new one called Sleeping Giant. He and his wife Chrissy met at UCLA. They have three children.
You talk about, in your book, the men's movement. You say, in the church, there is an 800-pound gorilla. What is the gorilla?
Dennis: Did I say it was her?
Kenny: No, no, it's him. We want to endear ourselves to the female listeners. It's definitely "a him". We have the women and the children. That's what all the statistical research shows us; but the highest flight demographic, in least-utilized asset, Dennis, is the men.
Bob: But He was Jesus, Kenny!
Kenny: He was Jesus; but even those guys, who were intoxicated by the Spirit in Acts, Chapter 2, they did not have a problem recruiting men. So, we have half the body—on the female side—highly- and heavily-involved. We have the church—that's languishing to get Kingdom initiatives done in communities—and we are, as I would put it, dealing our aces to the devil by not having a strong vision-investment and pathway for a man to be great and do great things in the local church.
Bob: So, the 800-pound gorilla is the guy; and he's asleep in the church? Is that what you are saying?
Kenny: Yes, he's—it's the issue. The 800-pound gorilla is the issue of men and their involvement in the church.
Dennis: —that's really what you are all about.
Bob: Our listeners have heard that phrase a few times here.
Kenny: Yes. Well, it's interesting when you say, "Step up". There is a book by Kay Hymowitz right now. It's called Manning Up. It's talking about the extended adolescence of men. When you asked the question, "Where did you get the passion?" —it comes out of pain.
A lot of passion comes out of pain—pain of fatherlessness; the pain of not having a relationship with my own dad; the systemic emotional and relational difficulties I had growing up, as a young man; and then, being parented by peer culture and culture-at-large, in terms of, "What identity was I going to place my masculinity into?" I didn't have a model. I didn't have a mentor. I didn't have someone messaging me on what healthy masculinity was.
When you chase the cultural vision and version of masculinity, you end up, inevitably, hurting yourself —hurting people around you—because it's very self-oriented. You self-protect, you self-indulge, you self-gratify, you self-preserve. You want to become self-important—all those values and culture that are attached to being great as a man.
Having experienced the loss, frustration, and emptiness of what I would call a broken quest for sonship in the world, you hit a cul-de-sac, as a man.
Bob: You're going to have to explain what you mean by a "broken quest for sonship".
Kenny: Yes. When I talk about not having a relationship with my dad and the validation that goes with it, you go and chase validation. You want that affirmation, and acceptance, and approval. If you don't get it from a father, you go get it from some other man, or group of men, or from culture-at-large. That's the way God made us. That's what God modeled in Matthew, Chapter 3, when Jesus was baptized.
Bob: —"in whom I'm well pleased." If it's not your dad doing it, you'll go find somebody else who will.
I wrote a note this morning to a young man in—you know who's hammering out life. He's facing some tough stuff. And I wrote a note. I just thought, as I was doing that, "You know, those kinds of messages breathe life into the soul of a man," because there are not that many men in our lives who truly do believe in us.
Kenny: Well, that's—perfect illustration is the last conference I did in Birmingham. There were 1,200 guys there. After I walked out, I was up until one o'clock in the morning with thirty 20- to 30-year-olds who, essentially, wanted me to be there dad. I wish I could just pack them all on the plane, and we could do life, and I could walk alongside of them; but they were looking for a daddy-mentor-type person who could speak into the struggles that they were facing and not solving, at a peer level.
They wanted to be with someone who was around the corner—someone who would walk with them. So, I see what you're describing every time I go and speak. I get tons of emails from younger men who just have had, again, no modeling or mentoring.
Bob: Let me go back because you said that, in the church, "three-to-one" women are active, and engaged, and passionate. People have said, "Well, the problem is the church is not masculine enough." Is that right?
Kenny: —"You can go do the parking lot ministry—no knock on guys who do the parking lot ministry because there are probably a few listening. However, if you have a guy and you say, "Hey, you can greet people, usher, and do the parking lot ministry," —for him—the way God made him—that's not resonating. We orphan them in the absence of a strong vision and pathway of involvement, to the world, to be great. That's why you have millions affiliated, but not activated, because they don't sense or feel like they are valued. They know that they are valued by how a church is investing in programs for them.
Dennis: You've spent some time, here at FamilyLife, talking to our team because we are all over this with you. I mean, I believe today men need to be challenged with a vision and a mission to make a difference in their world. The reason we're losing them is we're not giving them a big enough challenge.
We challenged men and women, as couples, to step up and to host the Art of Marriage® in their communities, in their church, in their business, in their lake house. Now, some 24 months later, we've had over 300,000 people—more than 10,000 events—all hosted by laymen and women—but men who stepped up and said, "Yes, Sweetie, I'll do this with you." That's what led us, ultimately, to put together a new video series called Stepping Up.
Kenny: I saw it. It's excellent.
Dennis: He put it together, but the design of this is not to be put in the hands of a pastor—not that I'm against that—but to put in the hands of a layman, whose pastor says, "Sic 'em! Go get them! Go reach your community. Go reach the people in your neighborhood, your business world, and reach out and make a difference for Jesus Christ," because men are struggling to be men in every segment of society today.
Kenny: Hey, listen. Marvel Comics® knows men better than most pastors. They know that men want to deliver justice, they want to stick it to the bad guy, they want special power, and they want to defend the weak and vulnerable. Why do you have a multi-billion dollar series about a good man rising when others are suffering? You have it because that's the way God made us.
Kenny: —and ethnocentrism. Here comes Jesus, the Man of Justice, defending women, saying, "Let the children come," and telling parables about the Good Samaritan. So, it is the ethos of the man.
Dennis, I totally agree with you. Any pastor who truly wants to help himself should have the Stepping Up event on Super Saturday because, when you activate men into a solid vision of purpose and cause—they are dying and desperate for that. So, whether it's the layman, whether it's the men in a couples' group that are kind of languishing, or whether it's just a group of guys who get together and recreate—I think Stepping Up is going to be a part of the catalyst of waking the sleeping giant in our country.
Bob: —process for them that doesn't just happen over ten weeks and, then, it's over.
Dennis: That, to me, is very important because it just can't be just men's groups. Ultimately, there has to be a place called the local church where men are real, authentic, and are tied to accountability, to worship, to growth, and to ongoing discipleship.
Kenny: They are connecting somewhere! They are connecting to go ride motorbikes. They are connecting to go chase the white ball. They are connecting around sports franchises. They are connecting. They are finding a form of fellowship, but not the depth and meaning that is absent from the other forms of fellowship—doesn't go to purpose and meaning, as a man. So, yes, the backend is so important.
I think one of the big lessons of the men's movement, over the last 30 years, is that we've had a lot of inspiration but not a lot of progression. Inspiration and activation creates frustration, when there is no progression. I know that's a lot of rhyme; but it's so true, on the grassroots levels.
That is what every man wants to hear—needs to hear. However, they are not hearing that. And that's where we have a new wave of ministries—that are aligning, I think—it's going to be one of the best, within the Church, moving out things—we have seen in a long time.
Bob: Would you unpack what—you kind of ran through "getting in, getting healthy"—you've got kind of a path that you think guys need to be on.
Kenny: Yes. It was out of a need to help my guys at Saddleback communicate to their friends—Christian and non-Christian— "What is this about? What is this men's culture about?" —and give them a vernacular that wasn't worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, and mission—if you have absolutely no connection to those concepts.
Kenny: Because all men know and sense the need to have a team. They need to "get in"; you know?
Kenny: They know they have to have core health. There are billion-dollar magazines that talk about physical health; but then, you have relational, marital, familial health—which are the true touch points where they need the most help. That's, "get healthy".
Dennis: But their spiritual health in that, too; right?
So, "get in" and "get healthy". There's enough pain that men want to defeat in their own lives that provide plenty of ammunition and success from men's ministries if—like the parable of the Good Samaritan—instead of being a church that walks on the other side of the street and says, "Hey!" you know, or casts the idea that, "You have to clean yourself up before you can get over here," —you go meet people or men who are like icebergs. Underneath the tip of their image, there is huge suffering. I assume nine out of ten—when I'm in front of men. There is an issue that they want to win at. You start talking and providing opportunities for them to deal with that—they will come in droves! That's what we discovered at Saddleback.
That's why we built that model—the backend—because we've had, for 30 years, a lot of good catalytic experience and emotion; but what we need is clarity and intentionality in the process. Men love that. They love clarity. They're asking—even though they are not verbalizing—"Now, that you've got me. Where are you taking me? Where is this going? How am I going to end up fitting?" If you don't have an answer for that, then, you lose them; but if you have a clear pathway for them—when they get initially involved and you keep seeding that—"Hey, here's where you are. Here's where we'd love you to be, and here's what it involves." They really matriculate through the process. That's what changed our church.
Yes, they can kind of thump their chests and have some rally cries; but at the core—hear biblical messages on courageous manhood of a true follower of Jesus Christ and how you can begin to deal with some of the demons—some of the stuff, as you've said, Kenny, below the surface—from the tip of the iceberg—those core issues that are just knocking the daylights out of guys. They can't get beyond and how to begin to fellowship with other guys—get authentic; get real.
Then, not just have an event, but begin to launch something, from that point, that begins to be a self-sustaining movement of men, led by men in the church, going forward.
Kenny: Wow! That sounds awesome! Let's do it.
Kenny: "He wants to go from frustration to celebration." That's what FamilyLife is offering all churches and men's groups, the Saturday before the Super Bowl.
Bob: And the cool thing is we've got hundreds of churches already signed up, who are going to be hosting the Super Saturday event in their city. In some cities—multiple churches are doing this—lots of locations where this is going to be happening. In fact, if folks want to go to FamilyLife.com, there's a link to Stepping Up—to the Super Saturday event.
You can get more information about where these events are going to be hosted. And if there's not one near you or even if there is, there's still an opportunity for you to host one of these events in your local church or in your community. Go to FamilyLifeToday.com and click on the "STEPPING UP" link that you'll see there and find out how you can host a Stepping Up one-day kick-off event for guys at your church or in your community.
The reason we're calling it a kick-off event is because we're hoping that a lot of guys, after the one-day event, will then go through the entire Stepping Up video series—ten weeks where guys get together—watch some video content, huddle up, talk about life, talk about how they're doing at work, how they're doing at home, how they're doing as men. The feedback we're getting from guys who have been through the ten-week series is that God is using it in some great ways.
In fact, our team here is so excited about the idea of, not only Super Saturday, but then guys going through the ten-week series—that they've put together a special offer for those who go ahead and sign up, this week, to host the event and, then, follow it up with the ten-week series. You can get all the information about the special offer about the material that's available when you go to FamilyLifeToday.com and click on the link to "STEPPING UP". Again, the website is FamilyLifeToday.com; or if you have any questions, call 1-800-FL-TODAY, 1-800-358-6329. That's 1-800- "F" as in family, "L" as in life, and then, the word, "TODAY". Ask about the Stepping Up event that's coming up in about three-and-a-half weeks.
While you're on our website or when you get in touch with us, look for information about Kenny Luck's book, Sleeping Giant. It's a great book for those who really care about men in the local church and how those men can be activated to be a part of what God is doing through the local church. Not only is there a book, but there is more material available. Again, go to FamilyLifeToday.com; or give us a call at 1-800-FL-TODAY.
Now, we are still, here at FamilyLife, trying to sort through all of the response that we got a week ago to our matching-gift offer that was for the month of December. I think the final numbers may be in by the end of the day today. If you want to find out how we did toward meeting our matching-gift goal of $4.1 million, go to FamilyLifeToday.com. We're going to be posting there as we keep tabs of the tally here.
I just want to say, "Thanks," again, to those of you who made a yearend contribution to FamilyLife Today. We appreciate your generosity. And can I just remind you that, throughout the year, any time you have an opportunity to support the work of FamilyLife Today, your donations help keep this program on this station and on our network of stations, all across the country. And we appreciate so much your financial support of this ministry. So, again, thanks for your support, at the end of the year. We look forward to staying connected with you throughout 2013. We want to do all we can do to help strengthen your marriage and your family, and we appreciate your investment in this ministry.
We hope you can join us back again tomorrow. Kenny Luck is going to be here again. We're going to continue talking about how we can engage men to be men at home, at work, in the church, in every aspect of their lives. We'll talk about that tomorrow. Hope you can be back for that.

Tokyo Olympics postponed until 2021
by The Poly Post April 28, 2020
By DENNIS ERTURK & NOUK KEOVYPHONE
History strikes as the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games are postponed due to the accelerating COVID-19 pandemic and are now set to start on July 23, 2021 and end on Aug. 8.
The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was scheduled for July 24, 2020, but the coronavirus steered the entire event to the following year.
The Olympic Games have never been rescheduled due to anything other than the wars that occurred in 1916, 1940 and 1944. This postponement has cost Japan billions of dollars, but as the coronavirus hit globally, postponement procedures were forced to be in full effect.
The worldwide, thrilling sporting event gathers many families together as they cheer on their favorite athletes. This year, there were over 11,000 athletes scheduled to compete with hopes of standing on the podium with their medals.
Not only does it affect the crowd attending the Olympic Games, but the viewers at home also anticipate a remarkable and historical event to watch on television.
"I have no preference in them moving the Olympics, but I was excited to watch the first year they've had rock climbing," fifth-year geology student Alec Martinez said. "I also was looking forward to skateboarding and surfing too because I saw it was in this year's games."
According to the International Olympic Committee, the games will remain the "Olympic and Paralympic Games
Tokyo 2020" despite being postponed until 2021. (Eduardo Rangel | The Poly Post)
The Olympic Games being delayed has been tough for many athletes as the qualification process for the larger U.S. Olympic trials in sports such as swimming, track and field and gymnastics were still happening when the coronavirus pandemic shifted the games to 2021.
Terrence Burns, an executive vice president at Engine Shop, a marketing agency in New York, has over 30 years of experience in Olympic bidding, sponsorship, sports marketing expertise and branding.
"Although 57% (of athletes) had already qualified for the games and now have assurances that their qualifications will be valid next year, 43% have yet to do so," Burns said. "All will now have to re-plan their training programs for the next year. This is currently further complicated by containment measures in place in many countries, which have made training, particularly for team sports, hugely challenging."
The functions of the Olympics work just like any other sporting competition. There must be adequate training and practice that goes into each season, and the coronavirus pandemic has had a skewed effect on athletes everywhere, as some athletes do not have the money or resources to train at a home gym, which limits them severely, compared to others with those luxuries.
Nicholas Blume, a first-year sociology student, looked forward to the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
He said he will miss staying up late and watching various sports during the summer nights and the never-ending amount of coverage in a plethora of sports.
"It really kind of sucks that we have to wait at least another year for the Olympics because every four years it comes along, and it always seems super fast," Blume said.
An athlete himself, Blume empathizes with the Olympic athletes but understands the precautions being taken by postponing the event.
Although the nature of things in the world are currently mixed with the great unknown, it is with great optimism that we will see the Olympics return in their full glory in Tokyo in 2021.

A 2007 photo of the tunnel and dipole magnets of the Large Hadron Collider, a particle accelerator, nearly a year before it opened. It's said to be one of the greatest scientific inventions of modern times.
I remember reading an article several years ago in Time magazine about a debate between Paul Hoffman, former editor of Discover magazine & past president of the Encyclopedia Britannica and John Horgan, author of a controversial book, The End of Science (Monday, April 10, 2000).
In the debate, Horgan tried to convince Hoffman that "…we've discovered all we can realistically expect to discover and that anything we come up with in the future will be pretty much small-bore stuff." If you buy this line of thinking, then there is no reason to have any more science fairs, and the new national Next Generation Science Standards for school kids should be thrown out the window.
•	Two teams of scientists, one in Wisconsin the other in Japan, announced their discovery of a way to make stem cells without using embryonic stem cells.
•	The first self-replicating, synthetic bacterial cell was created.
•	An artificial liver was developed to be used as a bridge for the liver transplant, minimizing the chances of liver failure.
•	A vaccine preventing cervical cancer was developed.
•	The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was built, a 17-mile-long looped track located an average of 300 feet beneath the Earth's surface under the Swiss-French border, which accelerates two beams of particles to 1.2 trillion electron volts (TeV) and then smashes them together. It's said to be one of the greatest scientific inventions of modern times.
•	Scientists at the Genome Sequencing Center report that they have sequenced all the DNA from the cancer cells of a woman who died of leukemia and compared it to her healthy cells. In doing so, the experts found mutations in the cancer cells that may have either caused the cancer or helped it progress. It is the first time scientists have completed such research.
•	Scientists have created a vaccine that seems to reduce the risk of contracting the AIDS virus.
•	Scientists have published the first comprehensive analysis of the genetic code of the Y chromosome.
•	The Hubble telescope has detected the oldest known planet—and it appears to have been formed billions of years earlier than astronomers thought possible, 12.7 billion years ago.
•	Two new solar systems were discovered.
•	The world's first vaccine was developed against the malaria parasite, which has been shown to be effective against even the most deadliest strains.
•	Jadarite was discovered; it is an essential component in the production of batteries for cellphones, computers, and electric or hybrid cars.
•	Exoplanets have been confirmed to exist revolving around distant stars similar to our sun. As a result, we may begin a rethinking of the universe and our place within it.
•	Then, there were the inventions of the iPod, the iPhone, hybrid cars, the Segway transporter, 3-D printing, augmented reality, and using water as fuel.
If there's any question about where I stand in the debate between Horgan and Hoffman, let me state unequivocally that I do not support Horgan's claims that "…we've discovered all we can realistically expect to discover" and anything else will basically be small-potatoes.
If anything, the above evidence illustrates how important it is to train and support the next generation of scientists.

Home / Sectoral / Automotive
All major global vehicle manufacturers with plants in the UK are foreign owned. In general, the business model for volume vehicle producers is to use UK sites to supply the European market (with alternative sites in Asia and the Americas supplying those markets).
Investment decisions and sourcing choices are often made from European or Global headquarters. Investment decisions are made against a wide range of key
performance indicators (set out in the Automotive Council International Competitiveness report, 2015).
The arrangements described in this section are examples of existing arrangements between countries. They should not be taken to represent the options being
considered by the Government for the future economic relationship between the UK and the EU. The Government has been clear that it is seeking pragmatic and
innovative solutions to issues related to the future deep and special partnership that we want with the European Union.
EU Customs Union and Single Market
Articles 28-37 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) set out the Treaty provisions on the free movement of goods, including the establishment of the Customs Union. This has been achieved by establishing the Customs Union within the EU and by preventing Member States imposing customs duties or formalities on goods imported from other Member States. In addition, these rules prevent Member States imposing restrictions on the quantity of imports and exports of a particular item (e.g. quotas or an import or export ban).
This legal framework also prevents non-tariff barriers that may restrict imports and exports in less direct ways, for example, by applying product standards and regulations that make it harder in practice for goods coming from one Member State to be sold within another. The exception is where those restrictions can be justified on certain grounds. The legal framework has been achieved by establishing a common set of product rules, underpinned in many cases by voluntary standards. For goods not covered by those rules and standards, the principle of mutual recognition has been developed (whereby once goods have been lawfully manufactured and marketed in one Member State, another Member State cannot then require it to comply with additional product rules). Finally, goods imported from other Member States must be treated in the same way as goods produced nationally.
Regulatory standards
Regulatory standards play a crucial role in determining the design and production costs of a vehicle affecting vehicle design, components and manufacturing
processes. The harmonised regulations of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN-ECE), accepted in more than 50 markets (but not the USA), help to minimise these costs. UN-ECE standards relate predominantly to safety.
The UK Government implements EU legislation on harmonised vehicle standards for relating to all road vehicle manufacturing. This legislation applies across the UK but the national governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland can make separate provisions for the use of vehicles in certain circumstances.
46. Regulatory barriers are one of the industry's most significant concerns, in relation to international trade with non-EU markets. These include differences in local testing and certification requirements, and application of technical regulations different to those agreed globally through UN-ECE. Alongside efforts to address regulatory barriers through bilateral and plurilateral agreements, the UK will continue to participate and influence UN-ECE Regulations at the multilateral level.
All new vehicles and trailers sold in the UK must be type approved (whole vehicle approval) by an EU type approval authority prior to registration. This is a process that ensures vehicles irrespective of where they are produced comply with relevant environmental, safety and security standards and account for both the UN-ECE and EU led regulations. The UK type approval authority is the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA), an executive agency of the Department for Transport.
Whole vehicle type approval brings together all the individual system and component approvals for a vehicle into a single legal document enabling a manufacturer to demonstrate that it complies with all the relevant technical requirements. The manufacturer can then produce subsequent vehicles in conformity with the original approval, and issue a certificate of conformity for each vehicle.
Member States are permitted to implement national schemes for low volume production within certain guidelines. These national schemes are lighter touch and
allow deviation from the full set of EU vehicle standards.
EU Regulations (EC 443/2009 and EC 520/2011) deliver reductions in CO2 emissions from new cars and vans sold into the single market. In short, this works by setting fleet averaged targets for manufacturers. Significant fines for noncompliance are in place, encouraging manufacturers to invest in the development of more fuel efficient and new technologies.
Air pollutants
European emission standards (EC 715/2007) define the limits for exhaust emissions of new vehicles sold in the EU and EEA member states. They set limits for emissions of nitrogen oxides, total hydrocarbons, non-methane hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and particulate matter. The emission standards are set in a series of directives staging the progressive introduction of increasingly stringent emissions standards.
In addition to stringent emissions standards, a new Real World Driving Emissions test will be introduced as part of the European Community (EC) Type Approval process from 2017. This is to ensure that new vehicles more accurately meet the regulated emissions limits when tested in real world driving situations.
The development of regulation and standards for the operation and use of connected and autonomous vehicles in the EU is emerging. Systems and networks are likely to be run by manufacturers and operators transnationally as well as access networks and systems at national and local level. Standards for systems are likely to be set at international level at UN-ECE. However, operational usage and implementation may be affected by what is allowed under EU Type Approval. EU competency will extend to things like connectivity and Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS),data flow and privacy, insurance, and infrastructure.
The UK automotive sector has not been a major beneficiary of Horizon 2020 funding. Funding of €21.4 million out of a total of €344.2 million was secured from the Green Vehicles and Road competitions in 2014 and 2015.
EU funding can also contribute indirectly at the business level to the automotive sector – in particular, the range of EU grants and loans for small and medium sized enterprises, and the support for research and innovation, much of which come from the European Structural and Investment Funds.


Violist Hannah Rose Nicholas is dedicated to music as a means for building relationships with other cultures. Currently, Hannah plays in the New World Symphony in Miami under the direction of Michael Tilson Thomas, and was recently appointed Principal Viola of the Central City Opera Orchestra in Colorado. Hannah has been a soloist with the Lucerne Festival Academy Orchestra and the San Francisco Conservatory Orchestra, and has given solo performances at the Kennedy Center, at the New World Center in Miami, and as featured curator in the O, Miami Poetry Festival in 2016. Hannah also writes her own compositions, and her music has been performed at Houston's James Turrell Skyspace and the Archway Gallery.
Hannah is inspired and influenced by the music, literature, and art from the Middle East and Jewish culture. She regularly collaborates with Iranian composer Sahba Aminikia, working together to explore ways of integrating contemporary Middle Eastern poetry into the music through speaking, recorded narration, and character of the music. Hannah is a founding member and female vocalist of the The alt Default, an indie rock-folk trio that won the Knight Arts Challenge South Florida for their Collaborative Songwriting Residency project at Fienberg Fisher K-8 public school, where they worked with middle school students on writing and performing original songs.
At NEC, Hannah studied with Kim Kashkashian, and was the EM Marketing Fellow with the chamber orchestra. Hannah is a recipient of the 2016 EM Alumni Award, which will fund in part her presentation of new work at the 2017 O, Miami festival.
Tell me about your work and creative process with Sahba. His Iranian heritage is threaded through in a lot of his work—what kinds of themes are you most interested in exploring in your collaborations?
Sahba and I have been able to explore cross-cultural themes that I have always been drawn to, especially relating to exile and homeland. The first time that we collaborated was on a short piece for solo viola. We had met briefly, and I had given him free rein in the writing. The piece, entitled "Shetaban" (In Haste) ended up being rhythmically driven and included foot-stomps. I loved it immediately. The innate trust that developed during our initial collaboration stuck with both of us, and led us to a lasting musical partnership.
Our next collaboration was several years later, on a trio called "Ow'dat" (Return) for viola, clarinet, and piano with recorded narration. This piece is inspired by the works of Israeli poet Yehuda Amichai and Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish. When I first encountered their poetry, I was deeply struck by the overlapping language and moods evoked in the poems, especially pertaining to the theme of exile. When working on the concept of the piece with Sahba, he proposed that the narration be interwoven, with one line from one poem being followed by a line from the other. Two of our friends narrated the poetry, in English, Hebrew, and Arabic, their individual voices forming one narrative that is sustained above the music through the very last note of the piece.
Last April, I collaborated with the O, Miami Poetry Festival – a month-long festival with each day of the month dedicated to poetry-inspired events. My event was a performance that incorporated poetry and music, with audience members reading selected works aloud as part of the concert. The final piece on the program was the premiere of a string quartet with video that I worked on with Sahba as well as visual artist Kevork Mourad. This work features a poem by a female poet from Iran, Forough Farrokhzad, called "The Wind Will Blow Us Away." Our quartet narrated the poem throughout the piece; the two violins and viola have spoken parts as well as playing parts. There is a strong rhythmic element to the piece underneath the lyrical and expressive outbursts, which helps keep the pacing as the visual portion unfolds. This was the first time I have worked in the media of visual art, music, and spoken-word, and the result, for me, was something both beautiful and provocative.
I will work with Sahba again for this season's O, Miami festival, in addition to a local poet from Miami, and cannot wait to see what comes from this newest collaboration.
Your musical work covers many different genres. What do you love most about having such a varied performance career?
I love every aspect of it, from the creative possibilities to the challenge of learning, adapting, and getting better at making music in different ways. My confidence as a musician has grown a huge amount from performing in so many contexts. I will go from orchestra rehearsal to an outreach performance in a classroom of (somewhat intimidating!) middle-school students, where I'll be singing original songs with my trio, The alt Default, and this demands focus and an ability to shift gears with confidence. Confidence is important not only for my own playing and performance, but also for what I am showing younger students when I teach or perform for them – I want to help them gain confidence as well.
Most of all, I love the people that I have gotten to know from pursuing a variety of musical endeavors. I went to Banff to do a residency in Persian and Eastern music traditions and my perspective broadened both from the immersion in those styles and from spending time with an amazing group of people.
As I step out of my comfort zone, I feel more and more possibilities open up. I am really happy to be in the music and art world, even during the most stressful moments.
You just won Principal Viola in Central City Opera. Congrats! What advice do you have for young auditioning orchestral players?
Prepare and treat the audition like a performance. The most important takeaway from this most recent audition for me had to do with my focus during the audition. On the day of, I made a mental note of the advice I had been given recently: focus solely on the character of the each musical excerpt. Even through nerves and distractions, I was mainly able to keep that focus during and in between the different rounds.
Just two days before the audition, I was performing Mahler's Fifth Symphony at New World, under MTT. This was one of the most challenging and exciting performances I've ever experienced. It demanded a certain kind of focus starting from the moment I took my seat until my bow left the string after the final note. During the audition, instead of going into either autopilot or panic mode, I drew upon the stamina and energy that I had for Mahler 5.
I have many! Performing with my piano quartet in Jordan Hall (Frost Quartet) for our honors performance in May, just before I graduated, was an amazing highlight. Another favorite memory is from the performance of Shostakovich Symphony no.11 in Symphony Hall – it was a turning point for me, where I experienced a huge array of emotions from both the music and from the energy that can be created in a great orchestral concert.
There are also some classes that I feel very nostalgic for, like Turkish Music with Robert Labaree and Jewish Music with Hankus Netsky. It was kind of scary at first singing out loud in some of these classes for certain assignments, but it turns out to have served me pretty well!
I'm currently obsessed with the indie-folk genre of music (well I have been for a while!). That encompasses many different artists… I have been listening a lot to the album "I Want to See Pulaski at Night" by Andrew Bird, an artist I really admire.

Anonymity on the Internet is a property commonly identified with privacy of electronic communications. A number of different systems exist which claim to provide anonymous email and web browsing, but their effectiveness has hardly been evaluated in practice. In this thesis we focus on the anonymity properties of such systems. First, we show how the anonymity of anonymity systems can be quantified, pointing out flaws with existing metrics and proposing our own. In the process we distinguish the anonymity of a message and that of an anonymity system. Secondly, we focus on the properties of building blocks of mix-based (email) anonymity systems, evaluating their resistance to powerful blending attacks, their delay, their anonymity under normal conditions and other properties. This leads us to methods of computing anonymity for a particular class of mixes – timed mixes – and a new binomial mix. Next, we look at the anonymity of a message going through an entire anonymity system based on a mix network architecture. We construct a semantics of a network with threshold mixes, define the information observable by an attacker, and give a

Election audit procedures usually rely on precinctbased audits, in which workers manually review all paper ballots from selected polling places, but these audits can be expensive due to the labor required. This paper proposes an alternative audit strategy that allows machines to perform most of the work. Precincts are audited using auditing machines, and their output is manually audited using efficient ballot sampling techniques. This strategy can achieve equal or greater confidence than precinctbased auditing at a significantly lower cost while protecting voter privacy better than previous ballot-based auditing methods. We show how to determine which ballots to audit against the auditing machines ' records and compare this new approach to precinct-based audits in the context of Virginia's November 2006 election. Far fewer ballots need to be audited by hand using our approach. We also explore extensions to these techniques, such as varying individual ballots ' audit probabilities based on the votes they contain, that promise further efficiency gains. 1

We enumerate requirements and give constructions for the vote storage unit of an electronic voting machine. In this application, the record of votes must survive even an unexpected failure of the machine; hence the data structure should be durable. At the same time, the order in which votes are cast must be hidden to protect the privacy of voters, so the data structure should be history-independent. Adversaries may try to surreptitiously add or delete votes from the storage unit after the election has concluded, so the storage should be tamper-evident. Finally, we must guard against an adversarial voting machine's attempts to mark ballots through the representation of the data structure, so we desire a subliminal-free representation. We leverage the properties of Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM), a special kind of write-once storage medium, to meet these requirements. We give constructions for data structures on PROM storage that simultaneously satisfy all our desired properties. Our techniques can significantly reduce the need to verify code running on a voting machine. 1

In the United States, computer-based voting machines are rapidly replacing other older technologies. While there is potential for this to be a usability improvement, particularly in terms of accessibility, the only way it is possible to know if usability has improved is to have baseline data on the usability of traditional technologies. We report an experiment assessing the usability of punch cards, lever machines, and two forms of paper ballot. There were no differences in ballot completion time between the four methods, but there were substantial effects on error rate, with the paper ballots superior to the other methods as well as an interaction with age of voters. Subjective usability was assessed with the System Usability Scale and showed a slight advantage for bubble-style paper ballots. Overall, paper ballots were found to be particularly usable, which raises important technological and policy issues.

In elections employing electronic voting machines, we have observed that poor procedures, equipment failures, and honest mistakes pose a real threat to the accuracy of the final tally. The event logs kept by these machines can give auditors clues as to the causes of anomalies and inconsistencies; however, each voting machine is trusted to keep its own audit and ballot data, making the record unreliable. If a machine is damaged, accidentally erased, or otherwise compromised during the election, we have no way to detect tampering or loss of auditing records and cast votes. We see a need for voting systems in which event logs can serve as robust forensic documents, describing a provable timeline of events leading up to and transpiring on election day. To this end, we propose an auditing infrastructure that draws on ideas from distributed systems and secure logging to provide a verifiable, global picture of critical election-day events, one which can survive individual machine malfunction or malice. Our system, the Auditorium, joins the voting machines in a polling place together in a private broadcast network in which all election events are logged redundantly by every machine. Each event is irrevocably tied to the originating machine by a digital signature, and to earlier events from other machines via hash chaining. In this paper we describe in detail how to conduct an election in the Auditorium. We demonstrate our system's robustness to benign failures and malicious attacks, resulting in a believable audit trail and vote count, with acceptable overhead for a network the size of a polling place. 1

Future homes will be populated with large numbers of robots with diverse functionalities, ranging from chore robots to elder care robots to entertainment robots. While household robots will offer numerous benefits, they also have the potential to introduce new security and privacy vulnerabilities into the home. Our research consists of three parts. First, to serve as a foundation for our study, we experimentally analyze three of today's household robots for security and privacy vulnerabilities: the WowWee Rovio, the Erector Spykee, and the WowWee RoboSapien V2. Second, we synthesize the results of our experimental analyses and identify key lessons and challenges for securing future household robots. Finally, we use our experiments and lessons learned to construct a set of design questions aimed at facilitating the future development of household robots that are secure and preserve their users ' privacy.

A direct recording electronic (DRE) voting machine must satisfy several requirements to ensure voter privacy and the integrity of the election. A recent proposal for a vote storage system due to Molnar et al. provides tamper-evidence properties while maintaining voter privacy by storing ballots on a programmable, read-only memory (PROM). We achieve the same properties and protect against additional threats of memory replacement through cryptographic techniques, without the use of special hardware. Our approach is based on a new cryptographic primitive called History-Hiding Append-Only Signatures. 1

Civitas is the first electronic voting system that is coercion-resistant, universally and voter verifiable, and suitable for remote voting. This paper describes the design and implementation of Civitas. Assurance is established in the design through security proofs, and in the implementation through information-flow security analysis. Experimental results give a quantitative evaluation of the tradeoffs between time, cost, and security. 1


It's been barely a day since the Giants made their roster cuts but things are still fluid as they can still add and subtract players on the newly minted 53 man roster. In fact, the Giants released defensive tackle Montori Hughes who made it to the 53 man roster announced yesterday afternoon to make room for DT Robert Thomas. The Giants claimed Thomas off waivers from the Carolina Panthers today. There are still more possible changes in store. Below is the list of the recently announced 10 man Practice Squad.
WR Geremy Davis: Davis was a 6th round pick out of Connecticut in 2015 and performed well through training camp but was hampered by a hamstring injury recently. He missed out on reps which Tavarres King and Roger Lewis Jr. made the most of. After going unclaimed on waivers the Giants made the decision it was worth keeping him. Perhaps while on the practice squad his game will continue to develop.
WR Darius Powe: Powe is big receiver ( 6'3″, 220 ) who signed with the Giants as an undrafted free agent out of California. He didn't get that many opportunities during the preseason but he's got a very good upside. He's got size and speed and is a developmental prospect.
QB Logan Thomas: He was originally drafted in the 4th Round by the Arizona Cardinals and was on the Miami Dolphins practice squad last season. The Giants will be his third organization in three seasons. He's a physical specimen at 6'6″, 248 but he played poorly for most of the preseason. He finished strong with a touchdown drive against the New England Patriots in the final preseason game. His major issue is his accuracy as a passer.
OL Adam Gettis: He was on the Giants practice squad roster last season, finishing up on their active roster. He was originally drafted in the 5th round of the 2012 draft by the Washington Redskins. During the preseason games he took snaps at the Guard and Center positions. He started off slow against the Dolphins in the first preseason game but improved as time went on.
OL Shane McDermott: He was waived by the Giants in their first set of roster cuts on August 30th but his versatility as a player has returned him to the practice squad. McDermott was on the Giants practice squad last season as well. He can play guard or center. McDermott was originally signed out of Miami as an undrafted rookie free agent by the Dallas Cowboys following the 2015 draft.
S Andrew Adams: He played well during training camp and the preseason and slowly moved up the depth chart past fellow safeties Bennett Jackson and Cooper Taylor. He was undrafted out of Connecticut but his strong play led to a productive showing during the summer.
CB Michael Hunter: He's an undrafted rookie free agent out of Oklahoma State, who showed improvement throughout the summer. He's got a nice combination of size and speed.
CB Donte Deayon: The undersized (5'9″, 158 ) cornerback showed great tenacity and effort throughout the summer. He's small in stature but has got speed and excellent leaping ability.
LB Ishaq Williams: He was out of football for two years after being implicated in an academic dishonesty scandal at Notre Dame in 2013. He impressed during mini-camp and was signed by the Giants in May. In limited time he's shown some raw talent and ability that with time on the practice squad could be developed.
DE Stansley Maponga: He was originally a 5th round pick by the Atlanta Falcons in 2013 out of Texas Christian University. Maponga was waived before the start of the 2015 season by the Falcons and claimed off waivers by the Giants in December of 2015. He has played well when given the opportunity this summer and will provide the team with depth at the defensive end position.


Twenty years is a long time for any band to be together, but to keep the same lineup over that time is rarer still. In the case of California's Rocket Scientists (Erik Norlander [keyboards/vocals], Don Schiff [bass, stick, bowed string instruments], Mark McCrite [guitar/lead vocals]), their cohesiveness is attributable, they say, to mutual respect and a disinclination to reject each other's ideas. They released two albums in 2014, the all-instrumental EP Supernatural Highways and the full-length Refuel, with traces of Yes, the Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, and other more pop elements present in a toe-tapping mixture. Host Mark Ashby spoke with Norlander and Schiff about how they all met and began making music together, the reason behind all the videos they've released recently, and the lucky break Schiff got when looking to buy a cello. You'll find the band online at www.thetank.com.

Cleansing Volumizing Paste is rated 4.2 out of 5 by 43.
Strengthen the hair while ensuring that it is clean by using the Christophe Robin Cleansing Volumizing Paste with every wash. This cleansing hair treatment differs from other forms of shampoo as the texture is closer to a paste than a liquid, allowing for easy control of quantity and use.
The Christophe Robin Cleansing Volumizing Paste is formulated to strengthen the hair with it feeling thicker at the tips and volumised at the roots.
The thick paste turns into a light, rose-scented foam once water is added, which can be gently massaged into the hair and is easily rinsed off with water. Its beneficial results can be intensified by leaving it on the hair for two minutes before rinsing.
Christophe Robin Cleansing Volumizing Paste is a rich shampoo treatment that thoroughly cleans the hair and leaves it full of body to create a healthy-looking mane.
On wet hair : use a tablespoon worth of product (more or less, depending on the length of your hair) rub into your palms, and apply all over your hair. With a delicate touch, make circular motions until you feel the paste turn to foam, and make sure you lift the roots. Add a little water, emulsify, and rinse abundantly.
For an intensified effect: let it sit for 2 minutes before you rinse.Then, apply the volumizing conditioner with rose extracts to lengths and ends.
Rated 5 out of 5 by suzi132 from love it I received a sample of this and I love it. It gives you wonderful volume and it gets your scalp sooooo clean. I have dry ends and greasy roots and it removes build up from all the shampoos... It's also got a lovely smell of roses which is my favourite. It is expensive, but really worth the price for me!
Rated 4 out of 5 by Linnielou from Eye-opener!!! Well, I thought I'd seen everything but this product proves I hadn't. This is a really interesting take on shampoo, I love the texture and exfoliating feel of the paste. The foam resulting from adding water is amazing and smells lovely. I've been searching for something special for my hair and this really is. It adds volume and staying power and I will definitely continue to use it along with trying other products from this line.
Rated 2 out of 5 by cinnamonbun from Terrible for my hair type I received a sample of this and though I knew it wouldn't work for my hair I thought I might as well give it a try rather than waste it. I have very coarse curly hair and this paste made my hair feel unbelievably dry and I couldn't even get my fingers through it until I slathered it in conditioner. Would not recommend for thick hair!
Rated 5 out of 5 by th567 from Nice texture Got a sample size of this to try and would definitely consider the full version. The texture is unique, never used anything like a paste before, but after you get used to it it's really nice. Provides gentle exfoliation, and once you add water it foams up like a traditional shampoo. My hair definitely felt light and clean afterwards.
Rated 4 out of 5 by CHIARA B from BRILLIANT HAIR CLEANSER, a MUST HAVE I have fine hair, blonde and highlighted, a somewhat oily scalp, dry splitting ends and my 2 biggest hair issues are: 1. how to give decent volume and 2. avoiding washing it every second day or every day if I dare to use a leave in conditioner or heavy treatment mask (for colored or bleached hair, we all know that the less you wash, the better). That said, this cleansing volumising paste is really one of a kind. I never tried scalp cleansers before, but once I tried this, I was hooked. It totally delivers! At first you have to get used to the texture, that is a thick paste, that is kind of "grainy" but foams very well... a little goes a long way - at first I used too much - then you learn by doing. I leave it on my har longer than a normal shampoo...as it is so packed with natural ingredients, the more you leave them in action, the bettter. This miracle potion smells super amazing - like fresh roses.... a real treat! It really gives visible thickness and volume from the roots without weighing hair down. And I get to day 4 after washing my hair, so this results in washing just twice a week. Brilliant! Totally hooked.... and looking forward to trying the Pate Lavante au Citron that I heard is also a comparable wonder.
