Liz had always enjoyed cooking but, now in her 50s, she was the first to admit it had all become rather monotonous.
While she had always tried to keep up to date with fashions in clothes and decor, she felt stuck in a rut in the kitchen.
'I don't know when I first decided to bring my cooking habits up to date', says Liz. 'I think it was a mixture of feeling bored with my old routines, and wanting to rediscover my enthusiasm for cooking.
'Whatever it was, I was soon caught up in learning how things had moved on'.
'Instead of replacing old equipment with more of the same, I learned what was new. Also, as fond as I was of my old recipes, I decided it was time to give new methods a chance'.
'Even if home-baking is more of an occasional treat now than the routine Sunday event it once was, there are new ways to make it healthier and just as delicious'.
'Muffins, for example, have replaced fairy cakes and sticky buns as a favourite with children, and you can use healthy fruit fillings which they will gobble up happily. But turning muffins out of their moulds successfully had proved literally rather sticky for me. That was until I discovered silicone bakeware. It was originally developed for commercial use and it's so versatile.
'It bakes to the most extremely hot oven temperatures, and cooks quickly and evenly. You can use it in the freezer for chilled deserts and also in the microwave. As well as the muffin cases I now have a loaf pan and a range of spatulas and spoons. My cakes release perfectly every time'.
'I have also expanded my use of healthier cooking methods with one or two modest investments. I used a little steamer basket over the years to cook vegetables. But I now have a three-tier steamer and I regularly cook entire meals in it. I hesitated at first because of the room this would take up in my cupboard, but I freed up space and I can also use the base and lid of the steamer as a casserole. I like the fact that no fat, and often no salt, is needed in the steamed food.
'My other buy - not the most expensive of its type - is a cast iron, ribbed grill pan, lined with enamel, which makes it easy to clean. I seal steak or chicken or other meats in this pan and transfer it to the oven for slow cooking. It is easy to run off the fats and let them settle so that I can skim them and use the juices in a gravy. The pan also makes a healthier version of a fry-up'.
'I wanted to use some of the newer cooking methods recommended by professional chefs. I was intrigued, for example, with recipes using unsweetened applesauce as a substitute for fat in some recipes.
'The first time I made brownies with this method I was not confident it would work, but these have become a firm favourite and are only 75 calories each.
'I use oil more sparingly, too, using an olive oil spray or an oil drizzler to coat pans'.
'I am much more likely now to use low-fat yoghurt than cream in savoury and sweet recipes. I stir yoghurt into a hot curry at the end of cooking and find that it adds the creaminess I want.
'I also rarely buy ready-made coleslaw now that I make a healthier, tastier version myself. I bought a mandolin, a great device, to slice the raw vegetables evenly and easily. I vary the ingredients regularly to suit my taste and what's in the shops. I might use red or white cabbage, red or white onion, radishes, or apples, carrots or celery, but I don't use mayonnaise. I use 75g of low-fat yoghurt, a teaspoon of sherry or cider vinegar and salt and freshly ground black pepper to dress the coleslaw. Add that to enough vegetables for two and you have a very healthy side dish.
'I also make much more use of fresh herbs - chopped and sprinkled over food as well as incorporated into dishes - and often use no salt at all'.
'Possibly the biggest change for me has been acknowledging that I tended to serve portions that were too generous. We all have to take account of the fact that we are not as mobile as our mothers and fathers were. We no longer need huge, high calorie meals that we have no chance of burning off, even with regular exercise.
'So I take the guesswork out of portions by using my digital kitchen scales - as well as my handy little spaghetti measure. Now that has been a real eye opener'.


Smith had obtained a judgment against Freeborn and Shelden in the Supreme Court of Nevada; Nevada being at the time a Territory only, not a State. To this judgment a writ of error went from this court, under the law organizing the Territory, and the record of the case was filed here, December Term, 1862. After the case was thus removed, the Territory of Nevada was admitted by act of Congress, March, 1864, into the Union as a State. The act admitting the Territory contained, however, no provision for the disposal of cases then pending in this court on writ of error or appeal from the Territorial courts. Mr. Cope and Mr. Browning, in behalf of the defendants in error, accordingly moved to dismiss the writ in this and other cases similarly situated, on the ground that the Territorial government having been extinguished by the formation of a State government in its stead, and the act of Congress which extinguished it having, in no way, saved the jurisdiction of the court as previously existing, nothing further could be done here. The Territorial judiciary, it was urged, had fallen with the government, of which it was part; and the jurisdiction of this court had ceased with the termination of the act conferring it. Hunt v. Palao,  and Benner v. Porter,  were relied on to show that the court had no power over cases thus situated.
It being suggested by Mr. O'Connor and Mr. Carlisle on the other side, or as interested in other cases from Nevada similarly situated, that a bill was now before Congress supplying the omissions of the act of March, 1864, the hearing of the motion for dismissal was suspended till it was seen what Congress might do. Congress finally acted, and on the 27th of February, 1865, passed 'An Act providing for a District Court of the United States for the District of Nevada,' &c.
Assuming jurisdiction to exist, this case of Smith v. Freeborn, &c., was argued also on a question of merits. The judgment mentioned at the beginning of the case, which Smith had obtained against Freeborn and Shelden, he had obtained against them as secret surviving partners of a certain Shaw. One ground of the writ of error was that no evidence whatever had been offered of a partnership with Shaw between Freeborn and Shelden (a matter which was more or less patent on the record); and that judgment having gone against both (two jointly) and error as to one, the judgment would have to be reversed. A motion had been made and refused below for a new trial.
1. As to the jurisdiction, our position is that the act is a retrospective enactment interfering with vested rights. Certainly it attempts to confer on this court jurisdiction to review judgments which, by law, at the time of its passage were final and absolute. The necessary result of maintaining it would be to disturb and impair these judgments, unsettle what had been previously settled, and compel the parties to litigate anew matters already definitively adjudicated. There is no higher evidence that rights have vested than a final judgment solemnly confirming them. Law is defined to be a rule of conduct; and to call an enactment which undertakes to deal with past transactions, and subject them to new requirements and conditions as tests of their legality, a rule of conduct, is to confound all rational ideas on the subject. Ex post facto laws are expressly prohibited by the Constitution, but the courts would hardly enforce enactments of this nature even in the absence of any constitutional prohibition; because, being retrospective, and providing for the punishment of acts not illegal when committed, they are not laws in the true sense of that term, and not, therefore, within the sphere of legislative authority. The principle is entirely applicable to civil causes, and prevents any injurious intermeddling with past transactions. Legislative power begins and ends with the power to enact laws, and in respect to the conduct of men in their dealings and obligations, and in the acquisition of property, no valid law can be enacted which undoes or unsettles that which was legally done or settled under a previous law.
The validity of enactments of this character has frequently been denied. In Merrill v. Sherburne,  Woodbury, J., says: 'Acts of the legislature which look back upon interests already settled or events which have already happened, are retrospective, and our Constitution has in direct terms prohibited them, because highly injurious, oppressive, and unjust. But perhaps their invalidity results no more from this express prohibition, than from the circumstance that in their nature and effect, they are not within the legitimate exercise of legislative power.' After speaking of ex post facto laws, he adds: 'Laws for the decision of civil causes made after the facts on which they operate, ex jure post facto, are alike retrospective, and rest on reasons alike fallacious.' In Bates v. Kimball,  Aikens, J., says: 'The principle meant to be laid down is that an act not expressly permitted by the Constitution, which impairs or takes away rights vested under pre-existing laws, is unjust, unauthorized, and void.' In Staniford v. Barry,  Prentiss, J., in referring to the decision in Bates v. Kimball, and the reasoning on which it was based, says: 'The case appears to have been maturely considered, and was decided on principles and authorities which are conclusive of the question. We have only to add, that the principles adopted have become settled constitutional law, and are universally recognized and acted upon as such, by all judicial tribunals in this country. They are found in the doctrines of learned civilians, and the decisions of able judges, without a single decision, or even opinion or dictum to the contrary. They not only grow out of the letter and spirit of the Constitution, but are founded in the very nature of a free government, and are absolutely essential to the preservation of civil liberty, and the equal and permanent security of rights.' In Lewis v. Webb,  Mellen, C. J., lays it down as a settled rule, 'that a law retrospective in its operation, acting on past transactions, and in its operation disturbing, impairing, defeating, or destroying vested rights, is void, and cannot and must not receive judicial sanction.' In McCabe v. Emerson,  Rogers, J., after stating that it could not be presumed that the legislature intended to give the act under consideration a retrospective effect, says: 'But granting that intention to be clearly expressed, I have no hesitation in saying that the act is unconstitutional and void. The legislature has no power, as has been repeatedly held, to interfere with vested rights.' We do not question the validity of retrospective statutes that are purely remedial, that give a remedy without disturbing or impairing rights. Whenever they attempt to interfere with a right, however, the legislature has passed the bounds of its authority, and the acts are void.
The court is here asked to review a judgment on which the law has already pronounced its final sentence. The act of Congress just obtained, concedes that the judgment has become final, but declares that it shall not remain so, and deprives the parties of any benefit from it until the matters settled by it are again adjudicated. If it be possible for a right to attach itself to a judgment, it has done so here, and there could not be a plainer case of an attempt to destroy it by legislative action. It is unimportant, of course, that the court ever had jurisdiction; if it proceed at all, it must proceed under the jurisdiction conferred by the act, and not under that which it formerly had. The case stands as if the judgment had been rendered by a court of last resort.
2. In passing the act Congress attempted to exercise power judicial in its nature, and not legislative. If this is so, it will follow as a necessary conclusion that the act is void.
What distinguishes judicial from legislative power? It is that the one is creative and the other administrative; the one creates or enacts laws by which the community is to be governed, and the other administers those laws as between the members of which the community is composed. Those matters of which the courts assume jurisdiction, and particularly those appertaining to the trial and determination of causes, are clearly and necessarily the subjects of judicial power. Such matters include all of the proceedings in a cause from its commencement to its termination, and it is certain that within these limits no other than judicial power can be exercised. Filing a complaint, summoning and empannelling a jury, rendering a verdict or judgment, granting or refusing a new trial, taking an appeal or suing out a writ of error, are all acts pertaining to the jurisdiction of the courts, and within the operation of this power. They must be done in pursuance of some law prescribed by legislative authority, but considered merely as acts done, or to be done, in the progress of a cause, a legislative body has no power or control over them, either to command the doing of them, or to set them aside when done. No one will deny that rendering a judgment is strictly a judicial act, and it is evident that the power exercised in rendering it must also be exercised in setting it aside, for the act of setting a judgment aside, like the judgment itself, is simply a proceeding in the cause. And so as to every act that may be done in a cause, from its inception to its close; it is merely a proceeding in the cause, and is purely judicial in its nature. There is no difference in this respect between one act or one proceeding in a cause and another, they are alike judicial in their nature, and exclusively the subjects of judicial power. If one such act may be done or undone by legislative authority, there is no reason why the same authority may not be employed to do or undo every act throughout the proceedings. The question ceases to be a question of power, and becomes one of discretion only.
In Merrill v. Sherburne, the question was as to the validity of a statute granting a new trial after final judgment, and in Bates v. Kimball, and Lewis v. Webb, as to the validity of statutes granting an appeal where the judgments had also become final. It was held, in all the cases, that the statutes were unconstitutional and void, that their effect was to take away the legal force of the judgments to which they applied, and that in respect to these judgments they amounted to orders or decrees, which the courts alone were competent to make. These cases were decided not only on reasoning the most conclusive, but on authorities of the highest respectability and weight.
The act of Congress undertakes to grant an appeal or review in certain cases, in which there was no right of review at the time of its passage. The cases had been prosecuted as far as they could be under the law as it then stood; and if they may be prosecuted farther now, it is because Congress has the power to open the judgments, and direct the matters in controversy to be tried anew. The act operates as a judicial order in each of the cases to which it applies.
Moreover, how can Congress authorize this court to issue its mandate to a State court in a matter which is of State jurisdiction? It would be plainly unconstitutional to do so. Perturbations of our whole judicial system would arise; and no one could calculate the extent of the disaster.
II. Respecting merits. The case is here short and easy.
1. As to the first point, this court cannot review the evidence on which a jury found.
2. As to the second, there was no error in refusing to let parties make proof in their favor out of correspondence between one another, and between themselves and their agent.
Messrs. O'Connor and Carlisle, with brief of Mr. Billings, contra.
1. Independently of the act of Congress of 27th February, 1865, how does the case stand?
The Territorial government is said to have been extinguished by the formation and establishment of a State government in its stead. Admitting this, does it necessarily follow that all acts performed by any department of the Territorial government down to the last moment of its existence, must, by the annihilation of their author, become irreversibly enforceable forever? We think not.
If a tribunal, hastily gotten up in one of the newly created Territories, has given a judgment involving millions, in utter violation of law, equity, reason, and conscience, must that judgment stand irreversible, establishing the right forever, merely because the court that gave it was in articulo mortis at the time, and expired shortly afterwards? Again we think not.
The Territorial government has been superseded, not by a direct declaration of the legislative will to that effect, but merely as a necessary consequence of a new government having arisen in its stead. The Territorial judiciary fell with the government of which it was a part; but the Supreme Court of the United States never was any part of the Territorial government. It did not cease to exist when the State of Nevada was admitted, nor did it lose its power, in fact or in law, to annul a definitive judgment of the Territorial court which was unlawful, and which, however unlawful, must, nevertheless, until reversed, form a bar to justice between the parties in any earthly tribunal.

Cheapest angel chimes online. Real bargain. Very pleased.
These are the perfect size for my original angel chimes, great price and very quick delivery. Would definitely recommend.
The candles fit the angel chimes perfectly but burn down very quickly.


Here we all are, almost made it thru 2018 as we stride into the last month of the year. December is so spoiled it has 3, count 'em, THREE birthstones! Who said it could be that greedy? I guess a lot of things come in threes, so here goes. December is unique in that it has three different birthstones: Zircon, Tanzanite, and Turquoise. We do have limited applications with Tanzanite, but this blog will focus on Turquoise as we utilize it primarily from December's offerings.
Turquoise is the rare opaque birthstone, with a beautiful blue-green color. It's mineral composition is made up of copper, aluminum and phosphate. One of the oldest known gems to be mined turquoise has since become woefully undervalued due to cheap synthetics as happens with most opaque gemstones. Turquoise has been mined all over the world thru time by the ancient Greeks, Aztecs, and Persians.
The US is now the leading producer of turquoise, with many southwestern states like Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, and Arizona producing the most given it's popularity in Native American pieces.

Identifier (NLPID).
The term "NLPID" is not actually used in [ISO9577], which refers to
one-octet IPIs (Initial Protocol Identifiers) and SPIs (Subsequent
Protocol Identifiers).  While these are two logically separate kinds
of one-octet identifiers, most values are usable as both an IPI and
an SPI.  In the remainder of this document, the term NLPID is used
for such values.
The registry of NLPID values is maintained by ISO/IEC by updating
[ISO9577].  The procedure specified by ISO/IEC in that document is
that an NLPID code point can be allocated without approval by
ISO/IEC, as long as the code point is not in a range of values
categorized for an organization other than the organization
allocating the code point and as long as ISO/IEC JTC1 SC6 is
informed.
This document provides NLPID IANA considerations.  That is, it
specifies the level of IETF approval necessary for a code point to be
allocated for IETF use, the procedures to be used and actions to be
taken by IANA in connection with NLPIDs, and related guidelines.
[RFC5226] is incorporated herein except to the extent that there are
contrary provisions in this document.
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
2.  NLPIDs
[ISO9577] defines one-octet network layer protocol identifiers that
are commonly called NLPIDs, which is the term used in this document.
NLPIDs are used in a number of protocols.  For example, in the
mar$pro.type field of the multicast address resolution server
protocol [RFC2022], the ar$pro.type field of the NBMA (Non-Broadcast
Multi-Access) next hop resolution protocol [RFC2332] and in the IS-IS
Protocols Supported TLV [RFC1195].  See Appendix B.
2.1.  Sub-Ranges of the NLPID
Sub-ranges of the possible NLPID values are categorized by [ISO9577]
for organizations as shown below, primarily for the ISO/IEC
(International Organization for Standardization / International
Electrotechnical Commission) and the ITU-T (International
Telecommunication Union - Telecommunication Standardization Sector):
Code Point  Category
----------  --------
0x00        ISO/IEC
0x01-0x0F   ITU-T
0x10-0x3F   ITU-T Rec. X.25 and ISO/IEC 8208
0x40-0x43   ISO/IEC
0x44        ITU-T
0x45-0x4F   ISO/IEC
0x70-0x7F   Joint ITU-T and ISO/IEC
0x80        ISO/IEC (see Section 2.2)
0x90-0xAF   ITU-T Rec. X.25 and ISO/IEC 8208
0xB0-0xBF   ITU-T
0xC0-0xCF   Potentially available for IANA (see Section 2.3)
0xD0-0xEF   ITU-T Rec. X.25 and ISO/IEC 8208
0xF0-0xFE   Joint ITU-T and ISO/IEC
0xFF        Reserved for an Extension mechanism to be
jointly developed by ITU-T and ISO/IEC
2.2.  Code Point 0x80
NLPID 0x80 is known as the IEEE (Institute of Electrical &
Electronics Engineers) SNAP (SubNetwork Access Protocol) code point.
It is followed by five octets, using the IEEE SNAP SAP (Service
Access Point) conventions, to specify the protocol.  Those
conventions are described in Section 3 of [RFC5342].  In particular,
it is valid for such a five-octet sequence to start with the IANA OUI
(Organizationally Unique Identifier) followed by two further octets
assigned by IANA as provided in [RFC5342].  The same IANA registry is
used for such protocol identifiers whether they are planned to be
introduced by the 0x80 NLPID or the IEEE SNAP SAP LSAPs (Link-Layer
Service Access Points) (0xAAAA).  Values allocated by IANA may be
used in either context as appropriate.
Because of the limited number of NLPID code points available for IANA
allocation, use of the IEEE SNAP NLPID is RECOMMENDED rather than
allocation of a new one-octet NLPID code point.
2.3.  NLPIDs Available for IANA Allocation
A limited number of code points are available that could be allocated
by IANA under [ISO9577].  Because of this, it is desirable, where
practical, to use code point 0x80, as discussed in Section 2.2 above,
or to get code points allocated from the ranges categorized to other
organizations.  For example, code point 0x8E was allocated for IPv6
[RFC2460], although it is in a range of code points categorized for
ISO/IEC.  One-byte code points are assigned to TRILL and IEEE 802.1aq
as they are intended for use within the IS-IS Protocols Supported TLV
The table below, which includes two new code point allocations made
by this document, shows those still available.
Code Point  Status
0xC0        TRILL [RFC6325]
0xC1        IEEE 802.1aq [802.1aq]
0xC2-0xCB   Available
0xCC        IPv4 [RFC791]
0xCD-0xCE   Available
0xCF        PPP [RFC1661]
As long as code points are available, IANA will allocate additional
values when required by applying the IETF Review policy as per
Whenever it allocates an NLPID, IANA will inform the IETF liaison to
ISO/IEC JTC1 SC6 (Joint Technical Committee 1, Study Committee 6)
[JTC1SC6], or if IANA is unable to determine that IETF liaison, the
IAB.  The liaison (or the IAB) will then ensure that ISO/IEC JTC1 SC6
is informed so that [ISO9577] can be updated since ISO/IEC JTC1 SC6
is the body that maintains [ISO9577].  To simplify this process, it
is desirable that the IAB maintain an IETF liaison to ISO/IEC JTC1
SC6.
This document allocates the code points 0xC0 and 0xC1 as shown in
Section 2.3 and IANA shall request the liaison (or the IAB) to so
inform ISO/IEC JTC1 SC6.
IANA maintains a web page showing NLPIDs that have been allocated to
a protocol being developed or extended by the IETF or are otherwise
of interest.  The initial state of the web page is as shown in

From a young age she showed a skillset with music and the arts, performing in theater productions, music competitions and pageants. She received several academic and music scholarships and earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Counseling from Johnson University in Knoxville, TN.
After college, she spent seven years working for the non-profit organization S.A.F.E. Events, followed by 16 years as an Account Executive and then the Business Manager for The Woodbine Agency, an advertising agency in Winston-Salem. Lori also became the Executive Director for the Winston-Salem Youth Chorus, a non-profit organization that has impacted the lives of hundreds of youth in our area over the past 20 years.
Since Lori loves to work with people and help them fulfill their dreams, it only made sense for her to go into real estate where she can educate and guide others through the entire process of owning or selling a home. Her business and advertising background, her counseling degree, her abilities to lead, organize and motivate people, are all valuable assets she utilizes in ensuring a real estate transaction is smooth from start to finish. She has seen great success in this career and finds joy in assisting others with their real estate needs.
Fun fact: Lori is also a professional recording artist performing concerts locally and nationally, as well as leading women's retreats and conferences. She has been married for 21 years to her wonderful husband, David, who is a 32-year public school teacher. They have one amazing son, Daniel, who is 15 years old and a freshman at Oak Grove High School.

Q: When and where to italicize a term in text? Assume that the following text are excerpts from a book ...

Book: Fun with Math
Chapter 1: We will learn about lots of numbers like integers, real,
  even numbers and odd numbers.
Chapter 2: There are two kinds of numbers: even numbers and odd
  numbers.
Chapter 3: An even number is a number which is divisible into two
  equal integers.

Of the three locations that even number appears in, where is it recommended to italicize it? Is it when it is mentioned (chapter 1), described (chapter 2) or when defined (chapter 3)? Or is it preferred to italicize it in multiple or all appearances?
A more general question is: is a term italicized when it first appears or when it is actually defined? The locations of these two might be far apart in the text.

A: Wikipedia has some good advice on this topic. A summary of the bits that seem like they might be relevant here:

*

*Mentioning a word as an example of a word rather than for its semantic content (see use–mention distinction): "The word the is an article".

*Using a letter or number mentioned as itself.

*Introducing or defining terms, especially technical terms or those used in an unusual or different way: "An even number is one that is a multiple of 2."

I think there's some room for interpretation, but here's my take as it relates to your specific questions: The Chapter 3 part would certainly take italics, because there you're defining terms. I'd use it for Chapter 2 as well, especially if that's the first mention of the term. I wouldn't use it for Chapter 1, because there you're not defining the term, and the phrase has a referent—actual even numbers.
The wording in Wikipedia regarding your final question is ambiguous, I think: introducing could mean "writing for the first time", or it could mean "quickly or informally defining." I'm inclined to go with the latter, and so I wouldn't use italics for the first use of a phrase if I didn't define the phrase at that point.

Joshua Tree National Park expecting crowds through holidays
(NPS Photo)
JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) — Joshua Tree National Park is gearing up for the huge crowds drawn to the Southern California desert during the holidays.
The National Park Service says late December through Jan. 1 brings some of the busiest days, and campgrounds and parking lots will likely be full.
At times, the park becomes drive-through-only because there are no more parking spaces.
Visitors are advised to avoid driving in between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. because entrance station lines are at their peak.
Recent years have seen a big increase in attendance at Joshua Tree National Park, which straddles the Mojave and Colorado deserts 140 miles east of Los Angeles.

Recycling factory fire is largest blaze in West Midlands for years
According to BBC News, firefighters tackling a blaze on July 1 involving 100,000 tonnes of plastic recycling material at a factory unit in Smethwick say it is the largest fire seen in the West Midlands in recent years. Eyewitnesses said there were a number of large explosions and loud bangs before the fire took hold.
The fire service said 200 firefighters were at the scene in Smethwick, and three of them have been taken to hospital. An ambulance service spokesman said they had treated "nine patients for injuries received at the scene".
A huge smoke cloud rose from the fire at the Jayplas depot in Dartmouth Road and was visible for miles. Birmingham International Airport was alerted because the plume of smoke rising 6,000ft into the air could have affected flights.
The incident is on an industrial estate, but the closest residents are being advised to keep windows closed. A local school has also been closed.
Vij Randeniya, chief fire officer at West Midlands Fire Service, told Sky News: "We believe a Chinese lantern dropped onto some bales of plastic and, looking at CCTV, it would appear that was the cause.
"Chinese lanterns have been involved in a number of incidents and firefighters have been campaigning for there to be better controls.
Mr Randeniya said intense heat was being released from the burning plastic. "These are difficult fires to extinguish and we anticipate being here for a number of days," he said.

Tom Holland Jokes It 'Breaks My Heart' Gwyneth Paltrow Forgot Working with Him in Spider-Man
Tom Holland is just a little upset Gwyneth Paltrow doesn't remember being in his standalone Marvel movie.
The hilarious revelation came when Paltrow, 46, appeared on Iron Man star and director Jon Favreau's Chef Show a few weeks ago, when she seemed confused once Favreau said they had been in Spider-Man: Homecoming together. Favreau reminded her of the scene they were in, and Paltrow was hilariously shocked.
Holland, 23, jokingly responded to Paltrow's confusion during a trivia game on PopSugar alongside Spider-Man: Far From Home co-stars Zendaya and Jacob Batalon.
RELATED: Gwyneth Paltrow Completely Forgot She Was in Spider-Man: Homecoming — and It's Hilarious
"I mean, I've only worked with Gwyneth one time, on Spider-Man: Homecoming, which she doesn't remember. Which still to this day breaks my heart," Holland joked.
To Paltrow's credit, she only appears in a short cameo in the film in a scene towards the end of the film where she arranges a press conference to announce Spider-Man as the newest addition to the Avengers.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=CpR10tiEHr8
And even Holland himself had a memory lapse when responding to Paltrow's comment, as the two actors have actually been in two films together, not just one as Holland initially remembered.
"No, actually no, that's not true," he eventually realizes. "One time when we were shooting [Avengers] Endgame, she was in her blue suit, and I was in my Spider-Man suit."
"She came up and she asked me for a photo with me and Robert [Downey Jr]. And I think she posted it and she said, 'Robert Downey Jr. and myself and this guy.' I was just the guy. It was cute."
Holland plays the iconic superhero again in the upcoming Spider-Man: Far From Home, which follows the events of Avengers: Endgame.
Spider-Man: Far From Home hits theaters on July 2, and is projected to rake in $120 million on it's opening weekend alone, with an overall projected domestic gross estimated at $405 million, according to Box Office Pro.

We are roulette players grouped at rouletteplace.com advanced forum. At RoulettePlace Development section is everything we do. The forum helps us to share ideas and knowledge, to develop acceptable roulette methods. We expertise is in the main three areas of roulette advantage play. Our approach is simple but with powerful ideas: learning, growing and sharing a loop. Therefore the improvement is our primary product.
With our collective knowledge, we solve real casino roulette play problems and share tangible benefits with our members. We are passionate about what we do. We will rise to a challenge and enjoy doing so. We use a combination of applying member's experiences, ideas, feedbacks and passion for problem-solving. We are consistently looking closer to the game and seeing further than anyone else.
I am Santa who has too much time on his hands when is not a Christmas. In between Christmases I work with roulette players from all sides of the world and develop Roulette Computers. Some people call me Forester.
By profession I am a Telecommunication Engineer, I have few diplomas in technology. Studied at Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences Croatia, Kangan Institute is a Technical and Further Education, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. Most of my professional work was in maintenance, improvements and testing.
I was born In beautiful Croatia, and later I moved to spectacular Australia. Since English is not my first tongue often in my writing, you can find some confusing sentences.
With roulette my life coincidently crossed, if you read early articles, you will find and more detailed explanation. When looking from roulette computers perspective, I am all in one. I have an engineering knowledge to develop a product, can write software and have a passion for roulette. If you have any idea how much time, development testing and debugging takes you would understand how that is important. What I do in one day it would take 30 days running from hardware developer to programmer to someone who is testing it. Developing serious program as the Acrobat-4, even from existing the Acrobat-3 where many problems have been solved takes me about a year with all help from users who were willing to help with testing.
Device as the FF roulette computer simply can't be created by someone hiring Java developer in India. Even if you have all needed solutions, the program has thousands of lines of code and performs thousands of calculations during prediction. You as a user just can't know where and when the mistakes were created. Java developers wouldn't even tell you about all problems with Java and timing, running on top of OS. Imagine additional complications of interfacing the program with custom hardware. When I do debug I test, then search in program step by step, simulate data required and go in loops. It may take days even for smaller changes in the program. Java developer has to compile full program each time and can not simulate processes. For that reason, simple and mostly unusable programs are developed on mobile phones or PDA's only as a simulation for real roulette computers as we make.
You don't have to take my word for it. Google for Mark Howe, a guy who lost few years developing such computers, and finally gave up on Java and mobile phones.


You don't even need to submit receipts!
What's worse than going to the grocery store hungry? Going to the drugstore when you've got a cold. With sniffles, a sore throat and popping ears, you bring home a haul of pricey cold medicines — and it adds insult to injury (err, cold) when those pills and syrups don't actually deliver on their promises of fast relief.
Nodding your head in agreement? You could be eligible for up to $57.65 if you've purchased some of Zicam's popular cold relief products in the last seven years — even if you don't have receipts to prove it.
According to a class-action lawsuit, Zicam has made false and misleading claims about the effectiveness of some of its products. Zicam, though, denies the claims.
To be eligible, you need to live in the United States and have purchased the following Zicam products between Feb. 15, 2011, to June 5, 2018: RapidMelts Ultra, Oral Mist, Ultra Crystals, Liqui-Lozenges, Lozenges Ultra, Soft Chews, Medicated Fruit Drops and Chewables.
The form, which can be filed online or sent by mail, will ask you to note how many of the products you purchased and the location of your purchases.
The payments will be made out of a $16 million settlement fund. The RapidMelts Original product is valued at $11.53, so if you purchased five of those, you could be eligible for $57.65. However, your payment will be adjusted based on the number of claims that are submitted, potentially increasing or decreasing the amount you receive.
If you purchased six or more of the Zicam products covered in the settlement, and you do happen to have your receipts or proof or purchase (like packaging), you can submit that documentation for additional reimbursement.
The deadline to file a claim is Oct. 3, 2018.
Oh, and if you're looking for some tips for how to beat a cold here are the secrets of people who never get sick, how doctors and nurses fend off colds and flu viruses and the foods nutritionists eat when they get sick.

Shoukry: COP27 witnessed significant int'l participation in its first days
Tue, 08 Nov 2022 - 09:03 GMT
CAIRO - 8 Novamber 2022: Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said on Tuesday that the first days of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP27), currently held in Egypt, have witnessed significant international participation.
Delivering a speech on the sidelines of the global climate summit, the foreign minister added that COP27 activities have so far probed ways to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs), mitigate climate change, support the adaptation agenda, and respond to devastating extreme weather events and climate changes affecting the world.
The agendas under discussion need international action in addition to addressing climate change as soon as possible before 2025, Shoukry said, noting that support should be provided to countries that are unable to adapt.
On that score, he said there are great aspirations for an effective participation by all countries and for everyone to live up to their responsibilities to confront climate change
In a special interview with CNN on Tuesday, Foreign Minister and Head of COP 27 Sameh Shoukry asserted that Egypt wants to see a clear commitment towards reducing global warming gases and emissions and the adaptation of developing countries with the climate change in addition to providing finance necessary to empower these countries to shoulder responsibility.
Shoukry said that he is concerned about the delay of some countries to fulfill their duties, adding that this has a negative impact.
On listing an item for losses and damages on the agenda of COP 27, Shoukry said that listing this item is an accomplishment, adding that we should have think practically and be sure that within a timeline all parties will be able to reach an understanding on the mechanism of providing finance to the developing countries in relation to issue of damage and losses.

Royal Commonwealth Society : Weapons and implements of war: warriors preparing for a fight

George French Angas (1822-1886) had trained as an artist and developed an interest in natural history. Angas's father held significant financial assets in South Australia and while visiting it in 1844, he sailed to New Zealand, and travelled within the recently established colony. Angas met a number of leading Maori, who sat for portraits, and he completed many pencil drawings and watercolours of Maori dress, artefacts, dwellings and culture. In 1847 he published 'The New Zealanders illustrated', which contained hand-coloured lithographic plates, the majority from his own work. The volume is a significant early source for understanding traditional Maori way of life.

1. A richly carved adze, with a greenstone head, ornamented with dogs' hair and kaka feathers; from the Middle Island.

2. Tomahawk with a European head, and a handle of carved bone.

3. A Tomahawk belonging to Pomara, the Chatham Island chief; the handle is of bone richly ornamented: a strip of dog's skin is inserted through the handle, for the purpose of fastening it to the wrist in battle.

4. A wooden dagger. From the interior near Tuhua.

5-7 E Hani. A staff of hard wood carried by the chiefs, and used both in war and whilst speaking. The head of the hani is carved, the sharp point of which, designed to resemble the human tongue thrust out in an attitude of defiance, is urged forward as a mark of insult to the enemy; the eyes are made of small pieces of pawa or pearl shell, inserted on each side, and the staff is still further ornamented with red parrots' feathers and tufts of dogs' hair. In the circle of debate, the chief whilst speaking runs up and down before his hearers, holding in his hand the ornamented hani.

8. Patu, a light wooden weapon, about four feet long, with a semicircular head resembling a bill-hook or chopper; it is generally ornamented with a bunch of kaka feathers, and the handle is frequently carved more or less.

9. Warriors preparing for battle. Before going to a fight, it is customary for the combatants to strip off their garments, and, by distorting their features, rolling their eyes, putting out the tongue, and other marks of defiance, to work themselves up into the highest pitch of phrenzy and passion. This preparation is called poukaua. The elaborate tanning of the thighs and posteriors is here shown.


A Waimea man has been charged with manslaughter in connection with the death of a young relative who had been left in his care.
On Friday night (January 13) Fire/Rescue personnel responded to a report of a 3-year-old girl who was found at home unconscious with labored breathing. They took her to North Hawaiʻi Community Hospital, where doctors also discovered suspicious bruising on her body and notified police.
Police arrested Ezekiel Wakinekona of Kamuela on suspicion of abuse of a family/household member. A 2-year-old girl and a 6-year-old girl who also lived in his home were taken into protective custody. Wakinekona was taken to the Kona police cellblock while detectives from the Juvenile Aid Section continued the investigation.
Later Friday night, the injured child was flown to Kapiʻolani Hospital for Women and Children on Oahu. She was pronounced dead Sunday at 5:14 p.m. The girl has been identified as Marley Makanani of Kamuela.
At 8:20 p.m. Sunday, police charged Wakinekona with manslaughter for the death of the child and with two counts of abuse of a family/household member for injuries found on the children taken into protective custody. His bail was set at $60,000. He was held in the cellblock pending his initial court hearing on Tuesday (January 17).
In the midst of the Republican Presidential primaries, more than 250 of the nation's mayors will convene in Washington, D.C. next week for the 80th Winter Meeting of The U.S. Conference of Mayors at the Capital Hilton Hotel. The mayors will meet with Administration officials to push for a bipartisan agenda that confronts the double-digit unemployment plaguing much of main street America, and challenge Congress to act on job creation, transportation and public safety. The mayors will also express disappointment that Washington is not listening to the needs of the nation's Metro regions, which have thus far been absent from the presidential debates. Highlighting the session will be the release of an economic report with 2012 employment forecasts, followed by an official address from USCM President Mayor Villaraigosa on The State of America's Cities, and then a reception at the White House.
Bob Marx, Democratic candidate for Hawaii's 2nd Congressional district, called for "getting corrupt money out of our political system" in a statement to a group of Hawaii County Democrats today.
In the 2010 landmark case Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court ruled that the government cannot ban corporations from political spending during elections and reaffirmed that corporations are protected under the First Amendment.
Marx believes that repeal of Citizens United is "critical." "We see the ramifications of Citizens United today in a Congress that is the worst that money can buy. Do we want to maintain 'crony capitalism,' where politics is run by special interest groups that want favors, exemptions, tax credits and subsidies in exchange for their sizable contributions? If so, we take away from the hardworking middle class and feed into Corporate American greed." Marx supports the constitutional amendment proposed by U.S. Senator Tom Udall (D-N.M.), which would allow Congress and the states to enact campaign finance reforms.
"Citizens United is a threat to the American democratic process because it allows elections to be about the biggest checkbook rather than the best ideas. Campaign spending and contributions need to be regulated. If elected, I will do everything in my power to get corrupt money out of politics," Marx concluded.
In Hawaii Marx said, corporate interests have a long history of misuse of government power, including the overthrow and imprisonment of Queen Lili'uokalani and overthrow of the Native Hawaiian monarchy.
An official weeklong visit by His Excellency Oscar Manutahi Temaru, President of French Polynesia, concluded Friday (13 January 2012) with an official press conference at the Hawai'i State Capitol. Also in attendance will be members of the French Polynesia delegation, Hon. Temauri Foster, Minister of Marine Resources, Hon. Kalani Teixera, Minister of Agriculture and the delegation's official host, Hawai'i State Senator J. Kalani English.
State of Hawai'i Senate President Shan Tsutsui and members of the State Senate also hosted an event for the delegation where President Temaru echoed much of his sentiments shared with Governor Abercrombie.
Throughout the week the President met with key leaders from the State of Hawai'i Department of Agriculture, Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, Hawai'i Tourism Authority, Hawai'i Convention Center and the University of Hawai'i.
"Tahiti and Hawai'i Island have a direct connection – a submarine communications cable from Kawaihae that extends to Tahiti among other islands in French Polynesia. We want to make sure we provide the best use and that it brings our cousins from Hawai'i closer to us," declared President Temaru.
President Temaru and his advisors also met with NBC Universal and Comcast executives to build French Polynesia as a viable destination for the film industry.
Officials from the Honolulu Marathon Association and Maui Marathon lent the French Polynesian delegation advice on building more support for the Tahiti Moorea Half Marathon now in its twenty-fourth year.
An official visit to Maui, where the delegation was greeted by Maui Mayor Alan Arakawa, allowed the group to visit with the National Tropical Botanical Garden's Breadfruit Institute in Hāna. The delegation was able to see firsthand how the organization is assisting in research to develop crops to respond to critical global food security issues and potentially develop an immerging industry in French Polynesia.
While meeting with the Maui Invasive Species Committee, the delegation was able to see firsthand, how the committee addresses invasive flora on Maui, "Many of our main islands like Tahiti or Moorea have many invasive species – this meeting allowed us to discover new ways to deal with our invasive species," said Teua Temaru, Advisor to President Temaru.


THE FIRST LADY: Thank you so much. Good evening and welcome once again for one of our favorite events in the White House, the Kennedy Center Honors. This is a winter wonderland inside -- it is 76 degrees outside. (Laughter.) This may be the closest we get to -- Mr. Cosby? (Laughter.) I appreciate the willingness to take direction. (Laughter and applause.) You know, usually we have so many big Christmas trees in here we don't have any chairs for anybody, so we're pleased that at least, oh, about half the audience gets to sit this year.
But we have much to stand up and applaud and be enthusiastic about because of our honorees. And every year Bill and I look forward to this because I think, as with all Americans who enjoy this evening of honors every year after year, it brings back so many memories and makes us feel so proud to be Americans.
Hillary and I are honored to have you back again for another Kennedy Center Honors. You know, the conviction that our land of liberty should also be a home for creativity in the performing arts goes all the way back to the very first President ever to live in this great house, John Adams. He wished for an America where -- and I quote -- "pomp and parade, shows and illuminations flourish from one end of this continent to another." Today, the illumination of our performing arts shines not only across the continent, but, indeed, across the world as a life force of our free society.
Dostoevski defined the mission of artists as "incessantly and eternally to make new roads, wherever they may lead." All the artists we honor tonight have traveled lifetimes across our stages, each in their own way, making those new roads. Their gifts of talent, heart and spirit are joyous, indelible threads in the fabric of our national life. It is my honor to introduce them.
The Tonight Show has seen a lot of comedians come and go, but one night in 1963, a young man by the name of Bill Cosby took the stage and took the nation by storm. His hilariously deadpan descriptions of Noah loading the ark with animals -- (laughter) -- I still remember it, too, it was pretty funny -- launched his career. But it was his deeply personal, universally funny caricatures of his childhood friends -- like Fat Albert and Weird Harold -- that made him famous. One critic wrote, "No comic ever entered a child's mind with so much empathy and gusto."
Bill Cosby's remarkable gift is to be able to look inside the human experience and all its depth and diversity and hold it up to the universal light of laughter -- and in so doing, to allow all of us to return to our child's mind. For more than 30 years, he has made the ordinary business of life extraordinarily funny business -- in best selling books like "Fatherhood" and "Time Flies," blockbuster movies like "Uptown Saturday Night," eight gold records. And, of course, there were some minor successes in television along the way -- (laughter) -- "I Spy," "The Cosby Show," his new hit series.
Bill once said he wanted to make jokes about people's similarities, about what's universal in their experience and, in so doing, to bring us closer together. That is exactly what he has done. We thank him for the lessons and the laughter.
The curtain parted, the painted face popped out and "Cabaret" forever changed the musical theater. John Kander and Fred Ebb have given us dark and gleaming shows suffused with metallic melodies. Their musical left the happy days for the harder passages of our century -- Germany at the decadent edge of the Nazi nightmare, a desperate dance marathon in the Depression era of Atlantic City, a Jazz Age murder in Chicago, a jail cell in revolutionary South America. The New York Times wrote that they shook the ground under our feet -- and they certainly set them tapping.
With "Cabaret," "Chicago," "Steel Pier," and "Kiss of the Spider Woman," Kander and Ebb took us a long way from "Oklahoma" and "South Pacific." It has been a relentlessly syncopated journey, with lyrical wit, musical drama, bold and lovely songs that infiltrate our minds and never leave. One of those songs, known to every American, has become the anthem of New York -- "New York." (Laughter.) After all, what good is sitting alone in a room when you can go out and see hit revivals of "Chicago" and "Cabaret"?
Fred Kander and John Ebb have entertained us, challenged us and touched our consciences. Tonight, we salute them for all the daring, all the shows, all the razzle dazzle.
Willie Nelson is like America -- always in the process of becoming. He changed all the rules about what country music was supposed to be. The granite-faced, long-haired man of the soil put down roots in folk, swing, pop and rock and roll. And everywhere he went he gave us something new. His songs are rugged and beautiful, raw and lilting; they're an individual, stubborn declaration of pride and hope amid a world of troubles. They're as restless as he is.
The American highway has been Willie Nelson's second home. In fact, I think that bus of his has gone more miles than Air Force One. (Laughter.) When someone once asked him why he went into music, he replied, I thought I could sing pretty good. Well, 200 albums and five Grammy Awards later, we know he was right.
A few years ago the Texas legislature declared July 4th to be Willie Nelson Day. Let me say that tonight is Willie Nelson's night all across America.
Anyone who went to the movies in the 1950s knew the music of Andre Previn before they knew his name. From "Kismet" to "My Fair Lady" and 50 other films, his scores and orchestrations were the sounds of the silver screen, winning fans and Oscars.
For some musicians, this achievement might have been more than enough. But Andre Previn's hunger for great music could not be contained. The arc of his music is long and he has soared across it. He has been called the greatest crossover artist since George Gershwin and, over the course of 50 years, quite literally, he has done it all.
As a jazz musician, he has jammed with the best, from Charlie Parker to Ella Fitzgerald. As a conductor, his repertoire ranges from Bach to Stravinsky to Frank Zappa. As a composer, he has blazed a new trail in contemporary music. His new opera, "A Streetcar Named Desire," which opened in San Francisco, is simply the latest challenge in a fearless career.
Andre Previn was nine years old when his family left Germany to find refuge here in America. Maestro Previn, I'm here to thank you for giving so much to those of us in your adopted country.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Andre Previn. (Applause).
I'm happy to welcome Shirley Temple Black back to the White House. But I'm not the first President to do it. She was seven years old when President Roosevelt asked to meet her, to thank her for the smiling face that helped America through the Great Depression.
The price of movie tickets has gone up a little since then -- (laughter) -- but her smile hasn't changed, and Shirley Temple continues to be a household word for generations who weren't even born when she left the silver screen behind.
Let's face it -- all little children are adorable, but how many can dance, sing and act? She was the first child actor ever to carry a full-length A-list picture. She was the most sought-after star in Hollywood. Once The New York Times hailed her as "the greatest trouper of all -- greater than Garbo, Hepburn and Ginger Rodgers."
Shirley Temple had the greatest short career in movie history -- (laughter) -- and then gracefully retired to, as we all know, the far less strenuous life of public service. (Laughter.) She did a masterful job as Ambassador, from Ghana to Czechoslovakia, where she made common cause with Vaclav Havel in the final, decisive days of the Cold War. In fact, she has to be the only person who both saved an entire movie studio from failure and contributed to the fall of communism. (Laughter.) From her childhood to the present day, Shirley has always been an ambassador for what is best about America.

What Would Kathleen Lynn Say?
Imagining a historic voice's influence though modern mediums.
Kathleen Lynn: Insider on the Outside was an exhibition curated by Catherine Marshall about the life and work of Dr Kathleen Lynn by thirteen contemporary Irish artists exhibited across five publicly-funded visual-arts spaces in Mayo as part of the county 1916 centenary celebrations.
In 2016, at public meetings in County Clare, Galway and Kathleen Lynn's own home county of Mayo, rural GPs spoke of fears for the future of Primary Healthcare services in rural Ireland. People were concerned and angry at the precarious future given a large ageing population in rural towns and villages and difficulty in replacing GPs who were retiring. #nodoctornovillage became a banner for a campaign, and as a way of drawing attention to these issues, when invited to make an artwork to celebrate Kathleen Lynn's role in the 1916 rising, Deirdre O'Mahony revived Lynn's voice through Twitter and Facebook. The final artwork, 20, A0 Posters featuring texts drawn from the tweets and posts, combined with photographs of Kathleen Lynn was the content for a series of 20 A0 digital, inkjet posters asking What would Kathleen say to the present state of the Irish Health service?
Kathleen Lynn grew up in Mayo in rural Ireland. She was a political activist, suffragette and pioneering doctor who established the first Children's Hospital in Ireland. She was also the only female commander during the Easter Rising. As celebrations took place for the centenary of the Easter rising which promised equal rights and equal opportunities to all its citizens, the exhibition was an opportunity to look back at politics of people like Kathleen Lynn, who played a key role in founding the Irish State.
What would Kathleen say to cuts to rural GP services and the care of children in Ireland one hundred years after 1916?

Someone Tries to Get Drake to Perform at Wedding, Singer Reportedly Required 1M Likes
We hear so many stories about so-called 'influencers' who try to get someone to do a particular job or service for them, or perhaps ask for freebies from hotels and travel companies, in exchange for likes and 'shout outs' on their social media accounts.
Many of these actually backfire, with the artist or company even shaming these influencer wannabes on social media. But one guy seems to have hit the jackpot when Drake reportedly agreed to sing at his wedding for just 1 million likes and 100k follows! Whoa.
Photo credit: Champagne Papi /Instagram
According to recent estimates, Drake's talent fee for a private event could be upwards of $1 million but someone is claiming that the four-time Grammy Award winner agreed to sing at his wedding in exchange for likes.
The new Instagram account only had one post, but the user @drake_wedding posted what appears to be a screenshot of an exchange between him and Drake's official IG account, @champagnepapi.
"Hey Drake! My Fiancé and I are getting married on September 22 and she is your biggest fan and I wanted to surprise her. How many likes or follows for you to perform a couple songs at our wedding? It would mean the world us," the groom wrote Drake in a DM on Instagram.
Amazingly, the account replied to the DM, congratulating the groom and informing him of the likes and follows he needed.
"First off, congrats on getting married! And 1 million likes and 100,000 follows. Good luck," the account that looked like the real @champagnepapi replied.
While many are skeptical that Drake would actually do a gig for nothing but likes and follows, the account does look like the real thing. Aside from having the same name and profile photo as that being used by Drake, it also had a blue check badge that means it's a 'verified' account – that means the account has been verified to be that of the artist!
Yet others believe that @drake_wedding simply used Photoshop to create the DM exchange!
Photo credit: Instagram / Drake_Wedding
But new fans are hoping this was for real – especially now that the post has actually exceeded the required 1 million likes and the account now has over 220k follows! So, would Drake really perform at this guy's wedding? We might find out real soon…
Who is Drake?
Drake is a Canadian actor, rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and entrepreneur who was born as Aubrey Drake Graham on October 24, 1986. He became famous in 2001 after portraying the role of "Jimmy Brooks", a character on "Degrassi: The Next Generation".
His music career began with the launching of his first mix tape, "Room for Improvement", in 2006.
Drake is also known as "Champagne Papi". He won 4 Grammy Awards out of a total of 42 nominations. He has moved over 142 million units and is known as the highest-certified digital singles artist ever in the United States.
