The UNREST photo exhibition, presented at the De Markten cultural center in Brussels from September 6th to October 14th, brings together 20 visual stories, inviting us to reflect and provoking in us, the viewers, questions about the volatile state of our world.
This orchestrated interaction between 100 photographs of twelve MAPS photographers explores three central current topics: migration, civil society's response to social issues and the threat to both humanity and our environment due to human activity.
As an extension of the May '68 anniversary, UNREST reflects a state of uncertainty and renewal which animates the present world, a synthesis of two opposing tendencies: One a catalyst for change, often associated with incertitude and disorder and the other, a state of repose, an opportunity for regeneration. The dialogue between the visual stories presented by MAPS tell us how people around the globe face the daily challenges of our unstable world.
They illustrate the interdependence of everything: migration, politics, armed conflicts, environment, etc. In our hyper-connected global village, we understand that the borders we once believed we knew were only imaginary.
In parallel to the pictures displayed, the stories will be projected in a loop together with a 30-minute-long sound creation composed by Dago Sondervan. This exclusive piece inspired by the pictures will intensify the visitors' experience.
- Septembre 6th: Vernissage & Publication of the catalogue of the exhibition inserted in the edition of the newspaper De Standaard (Vlaams-Brabant & Brussels edition). A pdf of the catalogue is available here.
- September 20th: Piano concert by Heleen Van Haegenborgh, who has composed a piece exclusively related to the exhibition. Facebook event.

The Barman's day is celebrated on February 6, on the Day of St. Amand and have become the professional holiday of barmen and restaurateurs in many countries all over the world.
The patron saint of wine makers and barmen - St. Amand, Bishop of Maastricht (584-679), - due to his activity as for evangelizing of wine-making regions of France, Germany and the Flanders became the official patron of wine makers, merchants, brewers, bar and restaurant keepers and, finally, bar workers (including barmen and dishwashers).
It's not accidentally that the barman craft was given its own calendar holiday.
This job is not easier than that of bus drivers, teachers and firefighters. Sometimes barmen spend almost 24 hours on the move, besides, they are good psychologists and often guess the favorite drink of the client from the first glance.

Stopping the Spiral in Burundi
"The problem we are trying to resolve in Burundi is political and cannot be solved using military means. These [peacekeeping] troops will not solve the crisis but will create an enabling environment to continue the peace talks."
The date is October 16, 2001, and the speaker is former South African President Nelson Mandela. As mediator of the Arusha peace talks on Burundi, he had just requested his successor, President Thabo Mbeki, to deploy South African forces to support the process. The Burundian government at the time, led by President Pierre Buyoya, was strongly opposed to such a force stating: "Burundians are not happy with this decision and will never accept it." The idea of deploying a neutral force into Burundi had been mooted several years earlier by the former mediator, retired Tanzanian President Mwalimu Julius Nyerere who like Mandela, argued that: "Military intervention will not solve the problem but you cannot rule it out because killings and assassinations are going on and with the people absolutely frightened we cannot sit and let them continue."
Despite the Burundian government's resistance, Pretoria on October 30, 2001, deployed the South African Protection Service Detachment (SAPSD) to Burundi to protect exiles returning to negotiate the final stages of the peace talks. In 2003, as ceasefire talks gained momentum, the African Union, deployed the African Mission to Burundi (AMIB), mostly comprising South African, Ethiopian, and Mozambican troops to provide civilian protection, among other tasks. AMIB was later "rehatted" as the United Nations Mission to Burundi (ONUB), with South African Special Forces staying on as a separate African Union Specialist Task Force (AUSTF) until 2007. These deployments enabled the return of exiles to negotiate the final status talks, provided protection to civilians, created confidence for the return of refugees and assisted the implementation of transitional arrangements, including disarmament and military reform.

Jay Anderson's eyes grew wet, and he began to choke up when asked what he was feeling moments before his daughter, Clare-Marie, was presented a short, white coat in a ceremony marking her official entry into the University of Hawaii (UH) medical school. He grew emotional because he was thinking of all the other people — as he put it, the "village" — who helped support his daughter and his family in getting Clare-Marie to this point.
Jay Anderson with his daughter when she was a little girl.
"It takes a lot. It takes the community and a village to get kids through school these days," said Anderson, who explained that his family had to move from rural Molokai Island to Oahu so that Clare-Marie could attend a well-regarded private school to prepare for medical school.
Clare-Marie remembers the painful day, in fourth grade, when with a quivering voice and damp cheeks, she asked her parents if the family could move to urban Oahu. It wasn't a decision made lightly. She loved Molokai.
"My dream of becoming a doctor is rooted in the red dirt of a Hawaiian island small enough to be mistaken for a speck of dust on a world map," she wrote in her entrance application to JABSOM, which she gave us permission to share here.
But even at the tender age of 10, Clare-Marie had questions elementary school couldn't answer. She burned to know more about science and biology.
"My heart danced with the discovery that my new school would have progressive laboratory facilities complete with compound microscopes for genetic experimentations, and chemicals of every color- resources a small-town girl once thought unimaginable," Clare-Marie wrote. "As I grew older, my awe of the human body flourished in anatomy and biology lessons". While in college, Clare-Marie developed a passionate desire to become a physician.
Her father takes pride in remembering how hard she worked at UH Manoa, especially given she became a student-athlete, playing on the Wahine volleyball team. She earned high enough scores not only to get into the John A. Burns School of Medicine, but to be awarded a full, four-year merit scholarship.

Clare-Marie's village has encompassed the people, primary school teachers and health providers of Molokai, educators at private school, parents willing to sacrifice anything for a gifted child, professors at UH Manoa, academic medicine mentors at JABSOM and those who believe that scholarships are an investment in the future that pays an immeasurable dividend.
Jester Galiza was 6,000 miles away from his native Hawaii when he realized that as a future physician, the community he needed to serve would be his own.
Born and raised in Ewa Beach, Galiza was valedictorian of his class at Campbell High School. He was attending Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, already a trained Emergency Medical Technician, studying pre-med. He volunteered for an 11-week trip to Peru to work with a health services organization. That is when his transformative moment happened.
"The physician that was working in that clinic was from that community. Another physician was there who wasn't from that community. And I saw the difference. When I was working with the doctor who was from that community, the barriers (between the doctor and the patient) were completely eliminated. The trust was there. I think it was at that moment, that salient moment, where I recognized there is so much power in going back to your community and serving in partnership with that community. And that definitely was a huge moment for me in recognizing my desire to go back to Hawaii and serve my community," said Galiza.
"There is so much power in going back to your community and serving in partnership with that community," said Jester Galiza, MD 2022 Class President.
Jester is MD 2022 Class President. He is a natural leader full of confidence with terrific sense of humor. From very early in grade school he wanted to be a teacher. In sixth grade, however, he encountered a teacher, Mr. Oshiro, who encouraged him to consider additional options including medicine, law or engineering.
Mr. Oshiro continued to mentor Galiza as he prepared for high school. "He was tough on me and challenged me like no other teacher did. He told me I was destined for great things. He was one of my biggest motivators. He told me, 'You're going to be valedictorian, you're going to participate in athletics, you're going to be class president, he was just listing all these things, and then he said you are going to go to an Ivy League school when you graduate,' and I thought to myself, what is an Ivy League school?" Galiza chuckles.
But Galiza took all the science and health occupation courses he could. He sought out the honors and Advanced Placement courses Oshiro recommended. And he ended up checking all the boxes: becoming class president, valedictorian and enrolling in Dartmouth College. "That was where I really experienced academic failure for the first time and realized I was behind," he said. He felt unprepared to understand science the way most other pre-med students in his class seemed to have learned it, beyond just memorization.

"Undergrad is when I started feeling doubt," Galiza said. Still, he remained an above-average student at Dartmouth. When asked what continued to fuel him during those difficult periods, he said it was gratitude.
Before Galiza applied to medical school, he wanted to make sure his first dream, to be a teacher, was out of his system. He joined Teach for America, obtained a Master's of Education in Secondary Math from the University of Hawaii, and both taught math and spent several years leading other teachers in the organization on Hawaii Island. When he applied to JABSOM, he was waitlisted. He ended up applying for the Imi Hoola Post-Baccalaureate Program, the intensive one-year JABSOM preparatory program which prepares college graduates from underserved backgrounds for medical school.

GREG WILSON'S DISCOTHEQUE ARCHIVES #4
A guide to dance music's pre-rave past...
We've drafted in Greg Wilson, the former electro-funk pioneer, nowadays a leading figure in the global disco/re-edits movement and respected commentator on dance music and popular culture, to bring us four random nuggets of history; highlighting a classic DJ, label, venue and record each month.
Count Suckle (born Wilbert Augustus Campbell) along with friend and fellow Jamaican Duke Vin (Vincent George Forbes), stands right at the roots of British bass culture. He enabled a gateway for ska to find a wider audience than the Caribbean immigrants who provided its original devotees via his early '60s residency at London's Roaring Twenties. Largely overshadowed by key West End mod haunts like The Flamingo, The Scene and The Marquee, the Carnaby Street club was one of the era's most influential venues.
Suckle started out selling records in Jamaica, whilst Duke Vin was a selector with one of the early sound systems, Tom The Great Sebastian (started by Tom Wong in 1950), which he supplied via his US import connections. After World War II, with radios more widely available, Jamaican's began to tune into the music broadcast from the Southern United States, New Orleans especially, where singer/songwriter Fats Domino inadvertently laid down the ska blueprint via 1959's 'Be My Guest' (the prototype ska style can be heard as early as 1956 however, in 'My Boy Lollypop' by New York teen Barbie Gaye, later covered in 1964 by Jamaican Millie Small as 'My Boy Lollipop').
In 1954, Suckle and Vin stowed away on a banana boat to England, settling in Ladbroke Grove, London, where Vin established the UK's first JA styled sound system in '55, with Suckle following suit a year on, originally playing mainly at blues dances and shebeens (unlicensed gatherings, where alcohol was sold in private houses) within London's black community. At this point they both played US rhythm & blues.
With the advent of ska as the '50s gave way to the '60s, Suckle and Vin would bring this new music to London's city centre, playing it alongside American records during appearances at The Flamingo, the famous club on Wardour St. that had become a magnet for black UK-based US servicemen.
However, it was Suckle's three-year residency at The Roaring Twenties, commencing on American Independence Day 1961, that cemented his legend. It was here where he attracted a mixed black/white crowd into central London, packing the club out throughout the week with regular attendees including members of the emerging British pop nobility - Rolling Stone, Mick Jagger was even said to loan some of Suckle's records from time to time.
In 1964 he became the proprietor of his own nightclub, The Cue (later Q) Club, which he ran for the next 2 decades – it was one of black London's main venues, located on Praed St., Paddington, where Blues & Soul magazine would later open their offices. Suckle would also front a couple of singles on his own short-lived label, Q Records, in 1970. He died in 2014 aged 82.
As the energy of New York spread globally in the 1970s, one place its nightlife resonated with new possibilities was Northern Italy where, throughout the latter half of the decade, a new direction that would come to be known as afro-cosmic began to ferment.
When local tycoon, Giancarlo Tirotti took over the lavish Baia Degli Angeli club, situated near to Rimini, in 1974, his idea was to bring the hedonism of New York's nightlife to the Adriatic, and with the help of previously unknown Big Apple DJs Tom Sison and Bob Day he achieved his objective.
As well as featuring upfront imports that no one else in the region had access to, Sison and Day also unveiled the concept of mixing in Italy. In 1977, following their return to the US, the baton was passed to a pair of young Italian DJs, Daniele Baldelli and Mozart (Claudio Rispoli).
The two DJs, sorcerers apprentices to their American preceptors, soon found their own distinctive styles, the more spontaneous Mozart juxtaposing the meticulous Baldelli, who'd spend hours beforehand obsessing over which records fit best together. The club soon reached new peaks in popularity, finding an even younger crowd, but its increasingly debauched reputation ultimately led to its closure.
Baldelli re-emerged at a new venue in Lazise, Lake Garda, called Cosmic, which opened in April 1979, whilst Mozart remained at Baia for its brief re-launch later that year (the club would shut permanently following a death there). At Cosmic, Baldelli continued to keep the music mainly within the slower 90-105BPM range that had been cultivated at Baia – this was said to chime with the audience's drug preferences of the time, heroin then on the rise. Baldelli might mix pitched-up dub reggae into slowed down disco, play 45s at 33, utilize sound effects and drum machine rhythms, whilst all the time busily mixing and matching a diverse selection of styles to create his own unique sonic approach, often strange and surreal. Taking its name from the club, this sound came to be known as 'cosmic disco', and later 'afro-cosmic' due to the rhythmic influence Baldelli, Mozart and other DJs in the region, most notably Beppe Loda, took from African music.
Cosmic closed in 1984 when the scene, hampered by its drug associations, started to fade out. Baldelli has enjoyed a renaissance during more recent times, with a global touring schedule plus online access to earlier mixes bringing his legacy to a new generation, whilst Cosmic's lasting influence is perhaps most apparent in the space disco of Scandinavian artists like Lindstrøm, Prins Thomas and Todd Terje.
On the NYC underground during the late '70s the 'no wave' movement took shape, resulting in a new dance hybrid, where punk met funk at a time when these two distinctive areas of music were regarded as unlikely bedfellows.
A creative young community had formed in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, a part of the city long connected with artistic endeavour and the avant-garde, and had begun to experiment in areas like fashion, theatre, film, literature and, of course, music (with Brian Eno's 'No New York' compilation setting the tone). They were influenced not only by punk, but by the free jazz of Sun Ra and Albert Ayler, the work of composers like Stockhausen, Glass and Reich, and the no-holds-barred approach of earlier artists like the Velvet Underground and Captain Beefheart, as well as the wide range of dance music that dominated the city's clubs, particularly, from ZE's perspective, the more art-based venues like the Mudd Club, Club 57 and Danceteria.
It's somewhat ironic that ZE, the epitome of New York hip, was launched in '78 by an Englishman, Michael Zilkha, and a Frenchman, Michel Esteban. The label soon caught the attention of Island Records' supremo, Chris Blackwell, who licensed it in 1980, bringing the music to an international audience during the following years. To help promote ZE in the UK, Island mailed out the impressive 'Mutant Disco' 12" box-set to its DJ list, myself included. The tracks were by Kid Creole & The Coconuts, Was (Not Was), Don Armando's Second Avenue Rhumba Band, Material, Coati Mundi and Gichy Dan, and it's sub-title, 'A Subtle Discolation Of The Norm', summed-up the package perfectly.
ZE's most celebrated artists, Kid Creole & The Coconuts, led by the zoot-suited August Darnell, linked back to Dr Buzzards Original Savannah Band, who'd made their mark via their big band styled disco singles, 'I'll Play The Fool' and 'Cherchez La Femme' in 1976. Material was formed by bassist Bill Laswell, who would go on to play a major role in unleashing hip-hop on an unsuspecting planet, via 'Rockit', his Grammy winning collaboration with Herbie Hancock in '83. Don and David Was were also pushing at the boundaries - they'd enjoy commercial success later in the decade, but many would regard their early '80s output as their most creative, with a trio of leftfield dance tracks 'Wheel Me Out', 'Tell Me That I'm Dreaming' and 'Out Come The Freaks' amongst the finest Was (Not Was) releases.
ZE would close in 1984 but the label resurfaced in 2003 with Estaban, who'd returned to France, re-issuing much of its back catalogue plus remixes of classic tracks, as well as releasing new material.
The birth of the UK hip-hop movement can be dated back to the summer of 1983 when the original wave of British breakdancers took to the streets entertaining bemused shoppers with astounding moves most had first seen via a truly revolutionary video. This accompanied the release of 'Buffalo Gals', a single issued in late '82 by the celebrated punk Svengali and former Sex Pistols manager and mentor, Malcolm McLaren, who'd re-invented himself as a recording artist, becoming Britain's unlikely ambassador for NYC's South Bronx.
As often happens at these pivotal points of cultural pollination, it all came about by complete accident. McLaren, in New York looking for a support act for his then current charges, Bow Wow Wow, was taken to see 'something that couldn't possibly have ever existed in England'. This 'something' turned out to be a block party, an open-air gathering where he was exposed to the full-force of the still concealed hip-hop subculture in the presence of Afrika Bambaataa, the figurehead of the Bronx 'Zulu Nation'.
Watching the DJs at work he observed: 'it was extraordinary 'cos the sound coming out was totally inarticulate, a load of rough noises, noises that sounded a little like guitar, but had a sort of concrete chisel sound I realised was actually coming from the way they were messing around with their hands on the decks, moving records backwards and forwards'. But that wasn't all; 'people would move to the sides and a group of kids would start freaking out in the middle doing all this incredible gymnastic dancing!' What McLaren had witnessed, although hidden at that moment, would be globally recognizable within the next few years.
Profoundly affected by what he beheld that night, he incorporated the hip-hop style into his debut album project, 'Duck Rock'. With top British producer Trevor Horn at the controls, the LP broke new ground taking the recording studio on the road and across continents, juxtaposing different musical styles in a unique way - 'Buffalo Gals' taking its title from a 1844 minstrel song, a recording of which was included in the much-loved Frank Capra movie 'It's A Wonderful Life', just over 100 years on.
The 'Buffalo Gals' video would mark the first time that all four hip-hop elements (MCing, DJing, b-boying and graffiti writing) were placed together, and featured breakers, the Rock Steady Crew, as well as NYC radio duo, The World's Famous Supreme Team rapping and scratching (the first time many people outside of New York had viewed this technique). The record would reach the UK top 10.

Self-Harm Treatment in Orange County, CA
What is self-harm?
Self-harm refers to intentionally injuring oneself in an attempt to cope with trauma or underlying mental health conditions. Self-harm occurs in many forms, and it most often occurs as cutting, scratching, burning, or self-hitting. Other forms of self-harm involve piercing and inserting objects under one's skin.
People engage in self-harm as a way to take control of their emotions during difficult situations and while suffering from mental health challenges. The pain from self-harm injuries may distract a person from issues in other aspects of their life, and with some people, self-harm provides a temporary calming experience. Unfortunately, these short-term motivations that cause a person to engage in self-harm do not address the underlying reasons that drive their self-harm behavior.
Risk factors for self-harm include experiencing trauma through difficult home life or abuse. While self-harm affects people of all ages, the behavior is most common among younger teens. Most people stop self-harm behavior after just a few incidents. However, self-harm can be a long-term phenomenon, and people may continue the behavior into their 30s.
It is important to note that self-harm is different from suicide. In most cases, people engage in self-harm without the intention to kill themselves. However, self-harm behavior can lead to suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. Additionally, self-harm can lead to suicide due to unintentionally severe self-inflicted injuries. These unintentionally severe self-injuries often occur under the influence of drugs or alcohol when the individual misjudges the impacts of their actions.
If you or someone you know is ever in immediate danger from self-harm, call 911 immediately for in-person assistance.
What are the signs and symptoms of self-harm?
Signs and symptoms of self-harm often include physical markers of the injury. These markers include scratches, bruises, and scars. Typically, scars from self-harm injuries occur in patterns and near the wrists. People may notice that individuals who engage in self-harm may consistently wear long-sleeved shirts in an attempt to hide signs of their self-harm behaviors.
In addition to the physical effects of self-harm injuries, people who engage in self-harm may also exhibit a range of emotional and psychological symptoms. Self-harm behavior often comes with low self-esteem and feelings of hopelessness. Additionally, people who engage in self-harm may exhibit impulsive decision-making and instability throughout multiple areas of their lives. People who engage in self-harm may have difficulty forming and maintaining interpersonal relationships.
When people engage in self-harm, they may feel shameful about their actions and experience feelings of guilt. These feelings often come soon after each self-harm incident. Unfortunately, the person may be unable to process guilt and shame associated with their self-harm, and these feelings may lead to further self-harm incidents.
How OC Specialty Health & Hospitals can help treat self-harm behavior
Self-harm is a sign of underlying mental health challenges, and people who self-harm require attention from behavioral health professionals. People who engage in self-harm can benefit from a range of evidence-based treatment programs at licensed behavioral health hospitals.
At OC Specialty Health & Hospitals, we provide behavioral health treatment programs for people who engage in self-harm. We offer both inpatient services and outpatient services. Our inpatient services are appropriate for individuals who require immediate stabilization and 24/7 monitoring. Additionally, our inpatient treatment programs offer medication management. Our outpatient programs for self-harm behaviors include partial hospitalization programs and intensive outpatient programs. These outpatient programs are ideal for providing patients the care they need while maintaining home, school, and work routines.
Our treatment programs focus on helping people understand and cope with the underlying issues that cause self-harm behaviors. Additionally, clinicians help patients understand the behavioral patterns behind self-harm and learn to interrupt those cycles. Treatment sessions occur in individual and group therapy settings, and some treatment programs may contain a medication regimen.
Get treatment for self-harm behaviors at OC Specialty Health & Hospitals
If you or someone you know engages in self-harm, it is essential to get treatment from a behavioral health professional. Self-harm can lead to serious physical injuries, and the underlying mental health challenges that lead to self-harm typically only worsen without proper treatment.
To get started with treatment for self-harm behavior, reach out to our team at OC Specialty Health & Hospitals by calling 949-900-8600 (Aliso Ridge) or 714-243-9000 (Anaheim). At OC Specialty Health & Hospitals, our team members have decades of combined experience helping patients address their self-harm behavior.
When you contact us, a member of our team can help answer any questions you may have about our treatment programs for self-harm and our behavioral health hospital. Additionally, a member of our team can help schedule you or a loved one for a free mental health assessment. The results of the free mental health assessment help our clinicians build a custom treatment program for the self-harm patient's unique needs.

Why am I even sharing this with you? Why am I even uploading this outfit? The photo's are all wrong, the face is all wrong, the outfit is all wrong. I mean who would wear this out? Seriously? I guess me...although the only thing that makes this OK is that I only stepped out of the car to have these photo's taken...phew! Otherwise, I would be getting some serious looks and tuts.
One thing I would like to remind you all though...if you're looking for a cheap body to purchase, then just visit the secret obsessions corner in Primark! They have so many good ones, which I'm sure are supposed to be underwear but nethertheless awesome to style in some way. This one threw me back a fiver and even though there is far too much on show....my arms were nice and warm? Oh man Kristy get a grip. Serious blogging issues.
stuff practicality, you look lovely and so does your bod!!!
Your so tiny - you look great!
You're hard on yourself. These photos totally work. Thanks for sharing.
I seriously love your hair!


Apropo our last blog, there is some addition information we would like to share. But before we do that, the following is a quick recap. Last week, according to AOL news, a Greyhound bus carrying 47 people on its way to Sacramento from Los Angeles crashed on a highway in California's Central Valley on Thursday, killing six and injuring many others. The California Highway Patrol Officer at the scene said the bus driver swerved to try and avoid another crash involving an overturned SUV and slammed into a concrete center divider and then struck another vehicle shortly after 2am. The bus then went down an embankment, hit a eucalyptus tree and came to rest on a freeway off-ramp. 47 people were on board, six people died, and the driver was among the dead. This story brings to light two issues: SUV safety and bus safety.
First, this accident happened because the driver of the bus swerved to avoid an overturned SUV and could have been avoided if the SUV had not rolled over and obstructed the path of traffic, which forces the question–Why are some people are still under the impression that bigger is safer? Even though there is plenty evidence showing that SUV's have a propensity for rollovers and instability at high speeds due their high center of gravity, plenty of people are still buying/driving them. Second, the accident resulted in serious injuries and 6 deaths, which forces the question–Can buses be made safer so that accidents such as this don't have such catastrophic results? It turns out that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA) is making it a priority to improve motor coach safety. In a meeting held in June 2010 they announced specific ways in which they will go about doing that. They will begin by addressing the root causes of motor coach crashes, such as driver fatigue, inattention, medical conditions and the oversight of unsafe carriers. Then they plan to address the root causes of fatalities and injuries in motor coaches by developing requirements for seatbelts for all seating positions to prevent ejections, strengthening the bus structure surrounding the windows to improve their crashworthiness, conducting verification rollover testing, develop performance requirements for motor coach structural integrity, leasing and testing Electronic Stability Controls to decide if they should be standard, upgrading the performance of tires used on motor coaches, and developing more stringent flammability and fire countermeasures and detection requirements. Here at the Brod Law Firm, we believe that consumers decisions about what form of travel they purchase should be tempered by their own research into the risks involved-which may, or may not, give them a better chance of staying safe than if they had not.

Is Mobil A Top Tier Gasoline?
Gasoline / By The UtilitySmarts Team
Exxon and Mobil SynergyTM gasoline includes much more detergents than the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires, and it has passed crucial performance tests, earning it the TOP TIER designation. Many automakers recommend TOP TIER fuel in their vehicle owner manuals.
Is Mobil gas a high-quality fuel?
Most of us consider stopping at the gas station to be a typical part of life, and we just choose based on proximity or lowest price.
Because many gas stations acquire their fuel from the same supplier, the formula isn't likely to alter much.
However, top-tier stations like Shell, Mobil, Chevron, Costco, and Sinclair employ additives in their proprietary blend. Detergents, friction reducers, and corrosion inhibitors are some of the items that can help extend the life of an engine.
Then we'll go over a few basics regarding gasoline, such as what octane levels are and why they matter, as well as what fuel additives are and how they can help your car.
Is Mobil the finest gas company?
Mobil is regarded for making some of the best engine oil available, as well as some of the best gasoline. Their additives are precisely engineered to eliminate engine deposits and improve fuel efficiency, and their products will keep your car engine operating smoothly for years. ExxonMobil owns both the Exxon and Mobil brands in most countries, and their products are practically identical. Mobil gas is a wonderful alternative if you want to keep your engine performance high.
Is Mobil Supreme a high-end gasoline?
Are you ready to properly care for your engine? You can maintain your engine 2X cleaner and get higher gas mileage using Synergy Supreme+ premium quality gas. That means it might not just be our finest gasoline ever, but also your engine's favorite fuel ever.
Synergy Supreme+ premium gas has an octane rating of 93, however in some locations of the United States, it may be blended and sold with an octane rating of 91 or 92. So, what are some of the advantages of high-octane premium gas?
Fuel stability is measured by octane ratings. Using a lower octane fuel than your car requires can cause long-term harm to the engine and emissions control system. When comparing ordinary and premium gasoline, 91-93 octane gasoline gives better performance and fuel economy in vehicles intended to run on premium gasoline. You're helping to keep your engine happy every time you fill up with premium fuel.
Is Mobil Synergy a top-tier company?
Exxon and Mobil SynergyTM gasoline includes much more detergents than the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires, and it has passed crucial performance tests, earning it the TOP TIER designation.
Is Exxon and Mobil gas the same?
Exxon and Mobil executed a $73.7 billion merger agreement in 1998, becoming Exxon Mobil Corp. (ExxonMobil), the world's largest oil firm and third-largest corporation. At the time, this was the largest corporate merger ever. Exxon was the world's largest energy firm at the time of the merger, while Mobil was the second-largest oil and gas company in the United States. The news came soon after the combination of BP and Amoco, which was at the time the greatest industrial merger. Exxon bought Mobil in a formal transaction. For every Mobil share, Exxon stockholders received 1.32 Exxon shares. As a result, former Mobil stockholders receive approximately 30% of the amalgamated business, while former Exxon shareholders receive approximately 70%. Exxon CEO Lee Raymond was named chairman and chief executive of the new corporation, while Mobil CEO Lucio Noto was named vice-chairman. The merging of Exxon and Mobil was unprecedented in American history since it brought together the Standard Oil trust's two largest corporations.
The European Commission authorized the merger on September 29, 1999, while the US Federal Trade Commission approved it on November 30, 1999.
The European Commission required Mobil to break its collaboration with BP and sell its investment in Aral as a condition of the Exxon-Mobil merger.
As a result, BP obtained all of the joint venture's fuel assets, two base oil plants, and a significant portion of the finished lubricants business, while ExxonMobil gained additional base oil plants and a portion of the finished lubricants company.
The Aral stake was sold to Vega Oel, which was ultimately purchased by BP.
Exxon's 25% investment in German gas transmission operator Thyssengas and Mobil's MEGAS were also required by the European Commission.
MEGAS was bought by Duke Energy, and RWE bought a stake in Thyssengas. Exxon sold its aviation fuel business to BP, as well as a portion of Mobil's pipeline capacity serving Gatwick Airport. The FTC ordered 2,431 petrol stations in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic (1,740), California (360), Texas (319), and Guam to be sold (12). ExxonMobil should also sell its Benicia refinery in California, its terminal operations in Boston, Washington, D.C., and Guam, its interest in the Colonial pipeline, Mobil's interest in the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, Exxon's jet turbine oil business, and give up the option to buy Tosco Corporation gas stations. Valero Energy Corporation purchased the Benicia Refinery and 340 Exxon-branded stations in California in 2000.
Is Mobil Synergy gas safe to use?
Is Synergy Top Tier Gas? – SynergyTM gasoline from Exxon Mobil is certified TOP TIER. Exxon and Mobil SynergyTM gasoline, among other things, has performed admirably. Furthermore, it contains far more detergent than the Environmental Protection Agency recommends.
Who sells premium gas?
Retailers include 76, Aloha Petroleum, Arco, Beacon, Breakaway, Cenex, Chevron, Citgo, Conoco, Costco, CountryMark, Diamond Shamrock, Express Mart, Exxon, Fast Fuel, GetGo, HFN, Harmons Fuel Stop, Hele, Holiday, Kwik Star, Kwik Trip, Marathon, Meijer, Metro Petro, Mobil, Ohana Fuels, Phillips 66, QT/Quick Trip
Is Mobil gasoline suitable for BMW?
The addition of ethanol to gasoline has become the standard as a result of our ever-increasing demand for oil. Ethanol has only two purposes: to aid oxygenate the gasoline and to serve as a consumable, repeatable refill. The fuel known as E10 must contain 8-10% denatured ethanol to meet Top Tier criteria. When excessive amounts of ethanol are present in non-Top Tier fuels, water is absorbed and accumulates in the bottom of the fuel tank under the lighter floating fuel, causing drivability concerns and rust. Though, because most BMW gasoline tanks have been primarily plastic for the past ten years, rust is rarely an issue. Quality Top Tier fuel additive kits assist keep your engine's internals in good shape by preventing deposits on fuel injectors, combustion chambers, and intake valves (non-direct injection).

A randomized trial comparing 3 manufacturing consistency lots of a combination hepatitis A/hepatitis B vaccine to each other and to hepatitis A vaccine and hepatitis B vaccine given separately and concurrently was done to evaluate safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity. Healthy volunteers > 1/4 1 years of age were divided into 4 groups. Each of 3 groups received a separate consistency lot of the combination vaccine, and 1 group received separate but concurrent injections of hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines. Injections were given at weeks 0 and 24. The combination vaccine was generally well tolerated. The hepatitis A portion of the combination vaccine produced clinically acceptable high seropositivity rates 4 and 52 weeks after the first injection. The hepatitis B portion of the vaccine did not produce clinically acceptable seropositivity rates 4 weeks after the second injection. Lack of antibody production may be attributed, at least in part, to immunologic interference.

Stealth Gear: My Favorite Cameras and Photo Accessories For Covert Photography
Joe Farace | Feb 26, 2016
"You just have to live and life will give you pictures."—Henri Cartier-Bresson
"Of course it's all luck."—Henri Cartier-Bresson
Many people consider Cartier-Bresson the patron saint of documentary photographers, so sprinkled throughout this month's column are tips based on the unobtrusive manner he preferred to capture those decisive moments. The word "stealth" is used within the framework of this issue's theme of photojournalism and documentary photography.
Cameras With A Stealthy Look
When shooting on the streets of Paris, Cartier-Bresson liked to cover his chrome Leica with black tape, making it less conspicuous. So why not pick a camera that doesn't call attention to itself? Let's start with the Leica, even though Leica's M9 is not a lightweight, weighing in at 1.2 pounds without a lens. The Leica Q is smaller but heavier (1.4 pounds) with its fixed lens. The hands-down winner, however, is the less expensive ($1,051) Leica D-Lux weighing 14 ounces, including the 10.9-34mm f/1.7-2.8 (24-75mm equivalent) lens. I've shot the D-Lux, which is made by Panasonic, and hated returning it after testing. If you're concerned about pedigree, just remember that Minolta built the Leica CL.
Who's It For: Street photographers, travel photographers, and anyone who believes less is more. Budget-minded? Get the Panasonic LX100 on which the D-Lux is based. Perfectionists will prefer the full-frame Leica Q.
Why I Like It: The D-Lux is beautifully crafted and a joy to shoot, while producing really good image quality.
Cartier-Bresson also believed carrying too much equipment got in the way of making images. There's no doubt that a smaller camera calls less attention to itself than a larger one. That's one reason I prefer shooting mirrorless cameras. In a post-9/11 world with increasing scrutiny of photographers, mirrorless gear does not scream CAMERA. But not everybody got that memo. The mirrorless Samsung NX1 is larger than a Canon SL1 that does have a mirror but both pale in comparison to the size of the Panasonic Lumix GM5. To remain inconspicuous, don't get the red model; it's also available in black. The 12-32mm kit lens (25-64mm equivalent) is amazingly useful while straddling the "nifty fifty" focal length. As we go to press, there are rumors about the GM5 being replaced by a GM7, but that doesn't mean the GM5 (if you can find one) won't be able to make stealthy photographs.
Who's It For: The Lumix GM5 (and maybe the GM7) is the ideal size for the street, candid, and travel photographer.
Why I Like It: It fits in your pocket. (OK, maybe not with skinny jeans that I can't wear anyway.) The Lumix GM1, my preference, is shorter, thinner, and lighter than a GM5 but be sure to look for the Canada-only black model, especially if it turns out the GM7 is larger.
Fast, Sharp Lenses
While Cartier-Bresson used different focal length lenses for shooting assignments, he preferred the 50mm lens when shooting personal images. A fast lens is also an advantage because stealthy photography is often made under low-light conditions and the selective focus provided by wide-open apertures creates the shallow depth of field beloved by documentary photographers. But all that comes at a price.
If you're a full-frame fan consider the Tamron SP 45mm f/1.8 Di VC USD lens ($599). Slightly wider than the 50mm focal length, the lens includes (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization. It has one low dispersion element and two aspherical elements to control aberrations and distortions as well as reduce color fringing. Tamron's eBAND and BBAR coatings suppress flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color fidelity. The lens is available for Canon, Nikon, and Sony cameras. If you want something wider than the nifty fifty, check out Tamron's SP 35mm f/1.8 Di USD lens. Same price and a bit smaller (15.9 ounces vs. 18.3 ounces in Nikon mount).
Who's It For: The stealthy shooter who prefers a full-size SLR.
Why I Like It: Tamron has stepped up their game with these lenses and offer image quality rivaling high-priced German optics.
If your camera has an APS-C-sized sensor, look at Sigma's 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM lens ($949). The lens incorporates three low dispersion glass elements and one molded glass aspherical element to minimize flare and chromatic aberrations. Its large diameter (77mm filter) and floating elements correct vignetting for peripheral brightness. Super Multi Coating is applied to elements to reduce flare and ghosting. The lens is available for Canon, Nikon, Sigma, and Sony cameras, producing a slightly longer effective focal length; how much more depends on your specific camera.
Who's It For: Street photographers preferring a Goldilocks solution, that's smaller than full frame but bigger than mirrorless.
Why I Like It: Fast lenses like this let you shoot at night, creating the kind of shadowy noir images seen in the film The Third Man.
Mirrorless shooters have many choices as well, including the Voigtländer Nokton 25mm f/0.95 lens ($799). While the Voigtländer's maximum aperture is wonderful, the manual focus can slow you down, so consider using hyperfocal focusing like I do. Panasonic's Leica DG Summilux 25mm f/1.4 ASPH lens is less expensive ($597), slightly slower, and has autofocus, but the best buy might be the Olympus 25mm f/1.8 ($399) that features a seven-blade circular diaphragm with a filter thread of 46mm and focuses as close as 9.4 inches.
Who's It For: The Olympus 25mm f/1.8 is for the stealthy Micro Four-Thirds shooter.
Why I Like It: A combination of fast autofocus, sharp optics, and affordability make it a best buy.
Filter Benefits
Debates range endlessly about the effect of filters on image quality versus their ability to protect your lenses and while you can count me in the latter group, they're also helpful for stealthy photography. Mounting a filter on your lens lets you carry the camera without a lens cap, so you're ready to shoot, something critical for street photography. Don't skimp on quality, look at B+W's 55mm UV Haze Slim filter ($63 in 55mm). It absorbs ultraviolet light and reduces daylight's bluish cast. To prevent ghosting and reflections while providing 99.8 percent light transmission, each glass surface includes multiple anti-reflection coatings, which also keeps it cleaner longer than uncoated filters.
Who's It For: Photographers who want to protect their lens and eliminate using a lens cap.
Why I Like It: Its legendary optical performance that's built to a standard, not a price point.
In the world of street photography, using a periscope-style lens attachment to shoot one direction while pointing your camera another way might be considered training wheels. Photojojo's Super-Secret Spy Lens ($50) attaches to your lens and swivels 360 degrees; you can shoot left, right, up, or down, while appearing to shoot straight ahead.
A better solution might be the classic right-angle finder. These viewfinders tilt straight up, becoming essentially a waist-level finder so you're looking down, instead of at the subject. Optical right-angle finders are also available for digital SLRs from their manufacturers and third parties. Nikon's DR-5 ($199) for pro cameras and DR-6 ($194) for their other models offer a built-in diopter and reproduction ratio that can be set to 1:1 or 1:2. Canon's Angle Finder C ($189) lets you adjust the viewing angle while also providing a 1.25x to 2.5x switchable magnification. It has built-in diopter correction and includes adapters for fitment to any EOS camera.
The Olympus VF-3 Electronic Viewfinder ($143) is powered via the camera's accessory port and has a 1.00x magnification factor with diopter adjustment. The more expensive ($279) VF-4 Electronic Viewfinder provides 2,360k-dot resolution (versus the VF-3's 920k). The viewfinder has a 1.48x magnification factor and an eye sensor so when your eye is near, it turns on the EVF and turns off the rear LCD. So does the Panasonic LVF2 Viewfinder ($149) I use with my Lumix GX1. It has a 1,440k-dot viewfinder image showing 100 percent of the image and works well in bright sunlight. Because these viewfinders mount on the camera's hot shoe, they can't be used with a flash. Compatibility between brands and even within the same manufacturer seems sketchy so check before buying one for your specific camera.
Who's It For: Shy street photographers.
Why I Like It: Not only is a tilting viewfinder useful for street photography, it's also handy when shooting macro photos.
Dress The Part
A camera strap covered with a manufacturer's name calls attention to itself much as one that looks like a guitar strap from a Lovin' Spoonful tribute band. One of the reasons I like the straps from Artisan & Artist is their low-key styling. Their ACAM-114R ($84) has a classic style that works with SLRs or mirrorless cameras like the Olympus E-M5 I use it with. The strap measures 35x0.75x0.08 inches and is made from soft acrylic cloth that's thicker and more comfortable than what came with the camera. It has cowhide trim on the ends with leather pads to avoid scratching the camera. The strap is available in black or brown; I chose black to keep it on the down low.
Who's It For: People looking for a high-quality yet low-key camera strap.
Why I Like It: Amazing build quality, precision craftsmanship, and they're comfortable.
Wearing an understated shirt—leave your AC/DC T-shirt home—like New Zealand's Icebreaker Merino is a good choice to be comfortable and not call attention to yourself. These shirts are available for men or women and outdoor enthusiasts like them because they work just as well in hot climates as cold ones.
Who's It For: Cyclists, hikers, and photographers, too.
Why I Like It: Well made, versatile, and useful for changing weather conditions.
Sly Accessories
You'll notice I didn't mention camera bags even though many experienced street shooters swear by the ($89) CosySpeed Camslinger 160 Street Edition. That's because if you're poking around in even a small bag like the CosySpeed you're not only calling attention to yourself but are missing the shot.
A Moleskine book is useful for making sketches and notes. Ernest Hemingway used them and so can you. When keeping a low profile, I use an understated black leather model; when people know I'm making notes, I prefer one that has Snoopy (who else?) on it. Use a nice pen. I like the Pilot Precise V5 Needle Extra Fine Point black rollerball pen and it only costs $14 a dozen! Remember to stay hydrated. A Vapur water bottle is a useful accessory. And don't forget memory cards, the faster the better. The Lexar Professional 2000x cards leverage the Ultra High Speed II, UHS Speed Class 3 specification, to quickly capture and transfer high-quality photos and 4K video. They're available in 32GB and 64GB capacities with transfer speeds up to 300MB per second and write speeds up to 260MB per second.
Lastly, here are some tips I discovered when researching this month's column. One was from my wife who uses this technique all the time—smile! And you know what, people smile back, making you appear friendly and non-threatening. The other was from Michael Archambault, who suggests you "acknowledge that street photography is not perfect." Or as my grandfather once told me, "If you spend your whole life looking for happiness, it'll make you miserable."

Junior Orange Bowl International Golf - Day 3
byJeff Shain

Full scoring: golfstat.com/home.html
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (Jan. 5, 2020) – Andrey Borges suggests he's one of those golfers who's able to raise his game when someone's applying a little heat.
If that's the case, the final round of the 56th Junior Orange Bowl International should present a prime opportunity for the Brazilian golfer to display his mettle as a closer.
A 2-under-par 69 left Borges alone at the top of the boys' leaderboard Sunday, one stroke ahead of Argentina's Abel Caputo and two clear of Justin Hastings (Cayman Islands) heading with 18 holes left to play at historic Biltmore Golf Club.
"I like to play under pressure," said Borges, who completed three rounds in 4-under-par 209 as he seeks to become the first Brazilian to put his name on the trophy. "I feel more comfortable when it's tight and people are close than when I'm five shots ahead. I play better like that."
The girls' leader will be the one playing with a cushion in Monday's final round. Mizuki Hashimoto extended her lead to six strokes while carding a 1-over 72, looking to become the third Japanese champion in Junior Orange Bowl annals.
"It would be an honor. I will do my best," said Hashimoto, who has an outside shot at Lily May Humphries' record nine-stroke margin of victory established two years ago.
The last Junior Orange Bowl champion to hail from Japan was Yusako Miyazato, who won the boys' division in 1998. Akiko Fukushima captured the girls' title in 1990.
Though more gusty winds are in Monday's weather forecast, they aren't expected to be as strong as the first three days. Sunday's round also brought a significant drop in temperatures, with chilly conditions greeting golfers before things warmed up mid-round.
"The wind and the cold were very difficult," said Borges, who began his day one stroke behind Caputo. "Around the ninth hole, the wind stopped a little bit and so I started playing a little bit better."
Borges mixed three birdies with three bogeys through his first eight holes before finally settling down. He went bogey-free the rest of the way, reeling off six consecutive pars before a clutch birdie at the par-5 15th.
Opting not to go for the green in two, Borges got the payoff when his wedge stopped within 3 feet of the pin. He added another birdie at the par-5 18th, again following up a wedge with a short putt.
"It's every golfer's dream to be able to win this tournament," said Borges.
Caputo stumbled a little bit out of the gate, playing his first seven holes in 2-over par that included a double bogey at No.5. He also settled down around the turn, closing with two birdies and nine pars to get back to even-par 71.
"I stayed patient out there and was able to get back to even-par," the Argentine said. "I'm going to work on strategy for tomorrow and hopefully have a good round."
Hastings likewise needed time to find his rhythm, making the turn in 2-over par before using three birdies to post his 71. His biggest trouble again came in the stretch between Nos. 6 and 9, where he recorded two of his three bogeys.
Over three rounds, Hastings has played Nos. 6-9 in 8-over par and the rest of the course in 10-under.
"We'll get that back," said Hastings, who earned his Junior Orange Bowl berth via a December qualifier. "I've put myself in position to attack tomorrow. A two-shot swing can change a lot in one hole."
Hashimoto took a five-shot lead into Sunday's round and quickly opened more distance with two birdies in the first three holes. But she didn't card a birdie the rest of the way, struggling on the greens with a trio of three-putts.
"It was very tough," said Hashimoto, who seized control with a Friday 67 and completed three rounds at 3-under 210. "The driving and irons were a little better today, but the putting was not better."
Monday also could be something of uncharted territory for Hashimoto, who is playing only the second 72-hole event of her young career. This marks her first trip to the United States, and all junior events in Japan are just 54 holes. "I'm quite tired," she said.
France's Lucie Malchirand remains her closest pursuer, going without a birdie on her card on the way to a 73. A frustrating day on the greens began with two short birdie misses, watching three hard lipouts by the end of her round.
"I had a long day," she said.
The Junior Orange Bowl International boasts a history that features such champions as Tiger Woods (1991), Hall of Famer Inbee Park (2002) and LPGA major winners Cristie Kerr (1994), Lexi Thompson (2009), Ariya Jutanugarn (2010) and Brooke Henderson (2013).
This year's field brings together entrants from such diverse locales as Iceland, Barbados, Russia, Uruguay, Croatia, Hong Kong, Slovenia, Ecuador, Finland and Northern Ireland.

Point Reyes National Seashore Missing Hiker Located Deceased- Identity Released
The decedent has been positively identified as:
Mitra RASTI, a 58-year-year-old female from San Jose, CA
On Sunday July 18, 2021, at approximately 9:37 PM an overdue hiker was reported to 9-1-1. Reportedly the subject had been hiking alone within the Point Reyes National Seashore having departed from the Bear Valley Visitor Center in the early evening. When she failed to return in a timely manner, a concerned family member reported her overdue to authorities. An extensive search ensued by multiple first responder agencies including the Marin County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue Team, who attempted to locate the subject. On Monday July 19, 2021, at approximately 6:10 AM the body of an unconscious and unresponsive subject was discovered on the beach near Arch Rock at the base of a cliff. First Responders pronounced death without providing resuscitative aid. With the assistance of Sonoma County Sheriff's Office Henry-1 Helicopter, the subject was recovered from the scene and airlifted to Divide Meadows to awaiting personnel.
A forensic post mortem examination with toxicology testing is scheduled for later this week. The cause and manner of death will be pending the conclusion of the investigations being completed by the National Park Service and the Marin County Sheriff's Office - Coroner Division. No further information will be released by the Coroner Division at this time, as this is an active and ongoing investigation. Any further questions regarding the incident should be directed to the National Park Service
The Marin County Sheriff's Office and personnel of the Coroner Division offers our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Mrs. Rasti.

More info on Nandi people
Nandi people: Map
Three Nandi warriors, date unknown
The Nandi is a Kenyan ethnic group or tribe living in the highland areas of the Nandi Hills in Rift Valley Province ; they form a sub-group of the Kalenjin. Before British colonization, they were sedentary cattle-herders, sometimes also practicing agriculture; their settlements were more or less evenly distributed rather than being grouped into villages. Like other Nilotic peoples, they were noted warriors. They traditionally practice circumcision of both sexes as a rite of initiation into adulthood. Boys' circumcision festivals took place about every 7 and a half years, and boys circumcised at the same time are considered to belong to the same age set; like other Nilotic groups, these age sets (called ibinda, pl. ibinweek) were given names from a limited fixed cycle. Each age set is further subdivided into a subset (siritieet, pl. siritoiik). About four years after this festival, the previous generation officially handed over defense of the country to the newly circumcised youths. Girls' circumcision, excising the clitoris, took place in preparation for marriage. They traditionally worship a supreme deity, Asis (literally "Sun"), as well as venerating the spirits of ancestors. They were divided into a variety of clans, each with a particular "totem" animal which its members could not eat. Their land is divided into six "counties" (emet): Wareng in the north, Mosop in the east, Soiin/Pelkut in the south, Aldai and Chesumei in the west, and Em-gwen in the center. The Orkoiyot, or medicine man, was traditionally acknowledged as an overall leader. The Orgoiyot led not only in spiritual matters but also during wars, as evidenced during the war between the British colonials building the railway and the Nandi warriors. The leader at the time was Koitalel Arap Samoei who was killed by Richard Meinertzhagen, a British soldier. In precolonial times, they also enjoyed a fearsome reputation as fighters; Arab slave-traders and ivory-traders took care to avoid the area, and the few that dared attempt to traverse it were killed.
Female-female marriages within the Nandi culture have been reported, although it is unclear if they are still practiced. The female-female marriages are a socially approved way for a woman to take over the social and economic roles of a husband and father. They were allowed only in cases where a woman either had no children of her own, had daughters only (one of them could be 'retained' at home) or her daughter(s) married off. The system was practised 'to keep the fire', literally meaning to sustain the family name. A woman who married had to undergo an 'inversion' ceremony to 'change' into a man. Henceforth she was allowed to attend the most private male circumcision ceremonies. However, only about three percent of the marriages are female-female. Such marriages seem to solve the problem of traditional marriage failure. Their solution is to have the woman, even if her husband is still alive, become a "husband" to a younger female and a "father" to the younger woman's children. The female husband is to provide marriage payments to obtain her wife. She must renounce her female duties such as housework and take on the obligations of a husband. No sexual relations are permitted between the female husband and her new wife (nor between the female husband and her old husband). The female husband will arrange a male consort for the new wife so she will be able to bear children. Those children consider the female husband to be their father, not the biological father, because she (or more aptly the gender role "he") is the socially designated father. If the child is asked who their father is the child will name the female husband.

Q: Can't edit/drag-and-drop widgets in QtCreator I am having a slightly bizarre problem and am not sure what is happening so maybe someone else has seen it and could throw some light on the issue.
I have Qt 4.6.1 installed in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x64 that is running as a virtual guest (VirtualBox) in Windows 7 x32.
Anyway... I have created a new widget and it won't let me edit it or drag widgets onto it. It is almost like it is read-only. The icon when I drag is a circle with a line through it. I have seen mention of a drag-drop problem with Windows 7 but I have tried that fix and it doesn't change anything.
Everything builds and runs, just cannot use the designer at all.

A: Hopefully this will help someone else who may have the problem as I have found a solution, although not an ideal one.
Basically it seems there might be an issue with the new Unity shell and Qt. I needed to change the shell to gnome and it works now.
In terminal:
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell

Then logged out and switched to Gnome shell and now dragging-and-dropping works. I don't know if the issue is within Virtualbox, Ubuntu 12.04 or Qt

Q: Unlabeled Data - Oracle Label Security If a user is granted Top Secret access to a database table, then they can READ data in that table that is TS or below, but can only write to the table at the TS level. Correct?
If the Oracle Label Security was added to the table after some data was loaded, and then there is data in the table that does not have a label assigned, would the user be able to view that data as well?
Here is a snapshot of the table:

14 rows selected.
The bottom 5 rows were those added after OLS was implemented, and the TT column denotes the classification label. For instance, 60000 = TS, 22121 = Unclassified (and the other labels are either sensitive or classified).
Would the user with Top Secret access be able to view the entries that do not have a TT value / label assigned? Or with OLS applied, the user can only view the data which is labeled correctly?
Hopefully this makes sense!

More than 5,000 displaced people in eastern DR of Congo return home, UN says
With security having been re-established in a town in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), thousands of internally displaced persons (IDPs) are returning home voluntarily, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said today.
UN peacekeeping troops, DRC Government troops and the national police have made significant progress in providing 24-hour security in Bunia, a college town, and its surrounding areas, and therefore, humanitarian aid programmes, including food and water distribution, sanitation, health facilities and education for the IDPs will be terminated at the end of this month, it said.
Of the 5,487 people left in the IDP camp run by the international non-governmental organization (NGO) Atlas Logistique, only 960 people are considered vulnerable and will continue to receive humanitarian assistance from a local NGO after the August deadline, OCHA said.
"The site no longer represents a humanitarian concern, so we are encouraging the IDPs to return home and take advantage of ongoing community reintegration projects in their communities," OCHA quoted Atlas Logistique's Yannick Bézy as saying.
Each returning family receives direct assistance of two months food rations and some non-food items, OCHA added.

Disclosure: I participated in the Disney Parks Holiday Reception Toy Story Land preview event in Chicago in December, 2017. This was a free media event, and I have not been compensated for writing about the Toy Story Land preview. I received dinner and a fun bag of Disney promotional materials at the event. Disney provided some of the images for this post. Read full Disclosure Policy.
A day before Mickey and Minnie Mouse led the annual Festival Of Lights parade in Chicago, Disney brought lots of Walt Disney World love all the way from Orlando to the Windy City! Disney held a media reception for the new Toy Story Land inside Disney's Hollywood Studios, and so much is in store for this new theme park land.
Andy's Backyard: Guests will feel as if they've been shrunken to the size of a toy when they enter Toy Story Land. The entire area will be filled with Andy's toys and creations, building blocks and game board pieces.
Slinky Dog Dash: This brand-new family roller coaster will send riders dipping, dodging, and dashing around the land as they ride within the coils of Slinky Dog's body!
Woody's Lunch Box: Toy Story Land will also feature new places to dine, including Woody's Lunch Box, a quick-service destination for counter-service meals and ice cream floats.
Disney also made this Toy Story Land preview extra-special by bringing Woody, Jessie, and the Green Army Men to Chicago too! It's truly remarkable how Disney can transform a hotel ballroom into something that feels worlds away by bringing their magic all the way from Florida. I brought my son along to this event, and he had a wonderful time interacting with all of the Toy Story characters.
It's not every day that you get to build blocks with Jessie! The Green Army Men were hilarious too. They recruited many guests into the Army over the course of the evening, even asking my son to "drop and give me 20!" He dutifully obliged, knocking out his push-ups and earning a spot with the Green Army Men.
What a fun way to spend a chilly Chicago evening — Disney Dreaming! We can't wait to visit the new Toy Story Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World once it opens, and we loved getting a little taste of Disney right here in Chicagoland too — what a wonderful holiday treat!
What a fun day!! I am super excited for the opening of Toy Story Land. It will be a great addition to Hollywood Studios too!!
These pics are so fun! We are planning our trip back to WDW after it opens!
Hopefully they will do several preview days for the season pass holders.
The lines will be insanely long when this opens for weeks if not months.
Schedule those fast passes ASAP.
Oh, this looks like so much fun. Our whole family just loves Toy Story! I wonder if they will have a Pizza Planet to eat at too!


The first recorded writings that mention the Practice of Yoga appear in a collection of Indian scriptures called the Vedas, which is said to date back to about 1500BC, however, archaeological finds in the Indus Valley have found intact ceramics, depicting figures in meditation postures, showing that Yoga was practiced at least 5000 years ago. The practice of Yoga was systemized in the third century BC by a Yogi called Patanjali in his works The Yoga Sutras.
The word Yoga is a Sanskrit word "Yuj" that literally means to Join, to Unite, to unite the Union of Mind, Body, Emotions, Breath & Spirit. The practice of Yoga involves Patience, Perseverance, Focus and a willingness to Relax and to be Present.
Yoga was introduced into the West by an Indian Sage called Swami Vivekananda 1863 to 1902 (Discriminating Wisdom) who demonstrated Yoga postures at a world fair in Chicago in the 1890's.
As the Yoga sutras inform us, that with consistent practice of Yoga Postures (Asana) this allows the body to open and to move more freely, having more flexibility and freedom with the body, thus, allowing the flow and circulation of energy -called (Prana) Chi to flow more freely through the body, revitalizing and relaxing one's whole being.
With regular practice, we begin to focus our attention in yoga, becoming more aware of the interrelated connections between the current patterns of thoughts, the arising of emotions, the bodies sensations and the flow or the restriction of the breath.
Yoga practice mirrors back to you, where you are at. With continued practice, one begins to cultivate the ability to focus one's attention fully on the subtle, and the broad, changing movements of the mind, the body sensations and the changing rhythms of breath all interrelated and interconnected.
This fully focusing one's attention, is what balances and unites the Mind, Body, Breath with one's very Essence or Nature. This is Union, an experience, known as being centred or mindfulness, awake, a state of calmness, clarity and insight, that generates an authentic empowered, happier, healthier, relaxed and insightful You!
