Stance and punches
"Combo Training Techniques "
When you start training for boxing, you don't just go punching bags, you need to maintain a good stance. The boxing stance is the posture of the boxer before and after throwing punches. The stance depends on whether you're left or right-handed.
To do the proper boxing stance (right handed):
- Start by standing straight with feet shoulder-width apart.
- Put your left foot a step in front of your right foot. Check that the right heel is slightly raised, left foot should be flat with toes pointing in front.
- Now slightly bend your knees. Make sure your weight is balanced evenly and comfortably.
- Place your left fist in front of your head, in the same distance as your left foot. Keep your elbows close to your body.
- Put your right fist also at head height, but closer to your chin to guard it.
- Lean your upper body forward slightly and your head at eye level.
This is your offensive and defensive position after throwing punches. You can move forward and backwards while maintaining this stance. If you want to move forward, do this with your left foot first followed by the right. When moving back, the right foot goes backward first followed by the left. If you want to move sideways, right foot goes first when moving to the right and vice versa.
While moving, never forget to keep your guard up with elbows close to your body. A lot of boxers forget this during a fight and get knocked out because of this lapse.
Throwing Punches
A left jab can be used for both defensive and offensive actions. You start by pushing your left as fast and as hard as you can forward. Your bodyweight will be supported by your left foot temporarily as you extend your arm forward in a straight line. After throwing the punch, quickly withdraw and return to original stance for defense. Keep your right fist in front of your chin while doing this.
Now, the straight right, a.k.a. the punching hand: this is the hand that gets someone knocked out because your right hand (assuming you're a right-handed person) can throw a blow with considerable force. You do this by moving your right arm forward from your chin towards your opponent or target. Let the ball of your right foot push further to give your punch more power.
Once you've mastered the left jab and the straight right, you can move on to the hooks. From the original stance, turn your left shoulder quickly and move your elbow up to the height of your shoulder. Your left fist moves in a circular motion, palm facing down with elbow kept bent, as it approaches the target. Rotate your hip and body while your left foot presses down for added power. Keep the back of your left hand pointing up and in a straight line with your lower left arm.
Finally, the uppercut: to do the right uppercut, drop your right fist until your lower arm is at right angle with your upper arm. With the back of your right fist pointing away from you, punch your right fist upward towards your target. Uppercut power comes from your legs and torso.
When you possess an arsenal of punches that can be thrown effectively in combination with one another, you have yourself a good boxing offense. In training, it is difficult to shout out the full names of each punch when doing combinations, so punches have been assigned with numbers instead:
- Jab
- Straight Right
- Left Hook
- Right Hook
- Left Uppercut
- Right Uppercut
When your coach says 1-2, that means he wants you to throw a left jab and a straight right. If he says 1-2-3, it means a left jab, straight right followed by a left hook. Here are the most used punch combinations in boxing:
1-1 and 1-1-1: double and the triple jabs, thrown to maximize power.
1-2: left jab then straight right. The jab forces your opponent to lift the chin, in preparation for your powerful straight right punch.
1-2-3: after the 1-2 combo, the left hook should rock your opponent to a finish.
2-3-2: straight right, left hook, then another straight right is one of the most popular power-punching combos.
3-2-3: left hook, straight right, then another left hook. This is another difficult yet power-packed punch combo.
If you train twice a week for a period of one month (assuming of course you stick to a healthy diet) you will start to notice a change in weight and muscle tone. Devote one session a week for cardio exercises for faster results.
Getting enough rest is just as important as training regularly, so don't fall into the trap of overtraining. Your body needs time to recuperate and recharge for it to perform properly during training. Alternate days of training and rest and limit your visit to the gym to a maximum of three times a week.

San Juan Superior Court judge Lauracelis Roques Arroyo ordered [text, PDF, in Spanish] the Puerto Rican government to release Puerto Rico's death toll since Hurricane Maria last September.
Roques Arroyo said that the records are a matter of public information and must be released within a week.
The order came in response to a lawsuit initiated by CNN and Puerto Rico's Centro de Periodismo Investigativo (CPI) [official website, in Spanish], in which the news organizations wanted to access the death tolls to uncover how many people had actually died in the aftermath of the hurricane. CNN and CPI were concerned about the Puerto Rican government's handling of the natural disaster. Puerto Rico argued that the records should be withheld to protect the privacy of the deceased.
The government said [CNN report] on Tuesday it will release the records.
After the hurricane, President Donald Trump faced backlash for delaying lifting the Jones Act [JURIST report] in order to ease shipping restrictions for hurricane relief to Puerto Rico.

Houston Mayor Annise D. Parker Unveils the Launch of a New Cultural Plan for Houston
Jan 28, 2014, 05:48 ET
HOUSTON, Jan. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Houston Mayor Annise Parker last night announced a major new arts-related initiative for her final term in office — development of a new cultural plan for the city that will serve as a roadmap for the arts and solidify Houston's reputation as a global destination.
The announcement was made at the 2014 Elected Officials Reception for the Arts, hosted by Houston Arts Alliance (HAA), at The Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, and sponsored by Yellow Cab. The audience of 200+ attendees, including City Council members, leadership of Houston's arts and culture organizations, and creatives of all types from across the region, applauded the launch of the cultural plan, the first for the city since 1993. Other speakers included City Controller Ronald Green, HAA Chairman of the Board Marc Melcher, HAA President + CEO Jonathon Glus, Houston Poet Laureate Gwendolyn Zepeda and Yellow Cab President and CEO Roman Martinez.
"I view this plan as part of my administration's legacy," said Mayor Parker. "It will ensure the continued vitality and vibrancy of Houston's strong arts and culture community and help us prioritize funding and how we speak of arts and cultural assets for years to come. We are a vastly different city now than we were 20 years ago, and it's time to pro-actively re-chart our cultural course for the future and move Houston, once and for all, into the global cultural spotlight."
The process by which the plan will be developed will be crafted over the next few months. The various components may range from emphasizing arts education in schools to expanding university arts training and greater community arts offerings in parks and neighborhoods. Input will be sought from arts organizations across the community.
HAA's Jonathon Glus stated, "Comprehensive cultural planning is hard work, engaging voices from throughout the community, and challenging us all to consider who we are as a city and how we explore and celebrate our cultural experiences, record our creative history and advance our city through the arts and culture. The Mayor hit it on the head when she said a rigorous and thoughtful planning process can, truly, be game changing for a city. We look forward to delivering the country's most innovative cultural plan to Mayor Parker within her final term."

3 Reasons why Higher Priced Homes take Longer to Sell
1. Smaller pool of prospective buyers. There are fewer people who can afford a $1 million home than can afford a $100,000 home. And these buyers are pickier. In this price range, the property needs to be close to perfect to fetch a good price. When comparing the number of buyers in this price range with the number of homes on the market, there is more competition in the higher price ranges.
2. Financing. It is so much harder to get financing these days - for everyone. It doesn't matter if you're a professional athlete who has just signed a multimillion dollar contract, or an esteemed surgeon recruited by our top hospitals. Issues like your lack of previous work history with the same employer, self-employment status and credit ratings can make financing a home difficult.
3. Unique is harder to sell. Many higher priced home tend to fall into the 'unique' category. Unique can be anything from custom wall treatments to specialty rooms ( like a pet room, cigar room, motorcycle garage,...). People like their own kind of unique - not someone else's idea of unique. A very large home - more than 8,000 square feet - is unique. So is a small home in a neighborhood of larger homes. Sorry, but plain vanilla is just easier to sell.
So what helps you sell a $1+ million property?
Ensure you are reaching your target buyers. These buyers are using a buyer's agent and they are searching on the internet for properties. Many of them are moving to Dallas from out of state. Think about who your buyers are - where they currently live, what they read, ...
Luxury home buyers also work with agents. Those agents need to know your property. Like many businesses, real estate is about relationships and active agents in North Dallas know the other active agents. Make sure your property is listed with a Realtor who has a good relationship with a lot of other agents in several different brokerages.

Hello! I am glad that I have an added learning from your blog. Keep it up!Thank you so much for sharing a post about this topic. You have such a very interesting and informative page. I am looking forward to visit your page again and to read some of your other posts as well.
Staging a home has always been part of the homeowner's responsibility, but it was often as simple as keeping the grass cut and picking up dirty clothes. The seller's agent would recommend actions if the owners were clueless about elements that turn off potential buyers. The Late-2000s recession turned real estate into a buyer's market, wherein sellers look for any advantage to make their property stand out from the rest.

JetBlue Will Start Flights from JFK to Ecuador, With the New A321neo
This post contains references to products from one or more of our advertisers. We may receive compensation when you click on links to those products. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. For an explanation of our Advertising Policy, visit this page.
JetBlue is opening a new route between New York JFK and Guayaquil, Ecuador, one that's going to be possible thanks to its newest aircraft, the Airbus A321neo. The route will open in December this year. Currently, JetBlue flies to Guayaquil from Fort Lauderdale, but its current airplanes do not have the range to make it there from JFK.
Flights from New York (JFK) to Guayaquil (GYE) are pending government approval, however, upon receiving approval, flights will begin on December 5th, 2019. A single daily round-trip flight will be offered. Flight B6 1769 from New York to Guayaquil will depart at 2:00 PM and arrive at 9:04 PM. The return flight will be a red-eye departing at 10:55 PM and arriving the next day at 5:13 AM. Flights between New York and Guayaquil are not yet available for purchase. Tickets will go on sale "soon", according to JetBlue, with details to be made available in at a later date.
The airline expects the new aircraft to enter into service this summer.
"The introduction of the A321neo to our fleet opens up a world of new possibilities as we think about the future of our growing network, building out our focus cities, and offering new and unique nonstop routes to our customers," Andrea Lusso, director of route planning at JetBlue, said. This is not, however, the A321neo LR version that will launch JetBlue's flights to London in 2021. The LR will have even longer range than the standard neo variant.
While passengers will notice the quieter cabin and larger overhead bins, the aircraft is quite similar to JetBlue's fleet of Airbus A321s already in service. The major difference is with the engines; "neo" stands for "new engine option." With the first-generation A321 approaching 30 years since its maiden flight, Airbus introduced a more fuel-efficient model in 2016 with new engines, which burn 20 percent less fuel per seat. That gives the plane longer range. The LR version, with additional fuel tanks, enables it to comfortably cross the Atlantic.
Passengers will aso experience JetBlue's updated in-flight product. The updated product will feature JetBlue's newly re-designed seats, updated cabin branding, new in-flight entertainment, faster satellite-based Wi-Fi, and mood lighting. Most Airbus A321neos will feature JetBlue's EvenMoreSpace and core economy class product. According to the airline, the Airbus A321neos to be delivered this year will not feature JetBlue's Mint cabin, the business-class product which debuted on the first generation Airbus A321s in 2013.

Relativity Studios has released the first Masterminds trailer for director Jared Hess' (Napoleon Dynamite) upcoming action comedy. Based on true events, the story revolves around an unassuming armored truck driver (Zach Galifianakis) who is lured into a heist scheme that points to him as the scapegoat. Now on the lam, he must evade the cops, survive a hit man (Jason Sudeikis), and try to turn the tables back on those that double-crossed him. The movie looks appropriately silly, with Galifianakis donning a variation of his "Seth Galifianakis" accent for a character that was once to be played by Jim Carrey. I like all of the actors involved, so hopefully this makes for a nice (and significantly odd) summer comedy.
Check the new Masterminds trailer below as well as the movie's first poster. The film also stars Kristen Wiig, Owen Wilson, and Ken Marino. Masterminds opens in theaters on August 7th.
Here's the official synopsis for Masterminds:
In this action comedy based on true events, directed by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite; Nacho Libre), David Ghantt (Zach Galifianakis) discovers the true meaning of adventure far beyond his wildest dreams. He is an uncomplicated man stuck in a monotonous life. Day in and day out he drives an armored vehicle, transporting millions of other people's money with no escape in sight. The only glimmer of excitement is his flirtatious work crush Kelly Campbell (Kristen Wiig) who soon lures him into the scheme of a lifetime.
Along with a group of half-brained criminals led by Steve Chambers (Owen Wilson) and an absurdly faulted heist plan, David manages the impossible and makes off with $17 million in cash…only problem is he foolishly hands the money over to this wild group of double crossers and has been set up to take the fall. With the bandits blowing the millions on lavish and ridiculous luxuries, they leave behind a glaring trail of evidence. Now on the lam and in over his head, David must dodge the authorities, evade a hilarious hit man, Mike McKinney (Jason Sudeikis), and try to turn the tables on the ones he trusted most.

City of Detroit to step up efforts to address flooding in Jefferson Chalmers area
With already historic water levels and perhaps weeks before Lake St. Clair and the Detroit River crest, the City of Detroit is stepping up its efforts to stop river and canal water from flooding homes and streets in major areas of the Jefferson Chalmers neighborhood.
During and since the holiday weekend, workers from the Detroit Water & Sewerage Department, the Department of Public Works and Mayor's office have been out in the neighborhood clearing storm drains, assessing problem areas and helping to place more barriers. Despite those efforts, however, street and home flooding is still a major problem in some areas.
Today, the City announced it will manage the short term effort to keep the rising waters out of the neighborhood by preparing and placing thousands more sand bags in areas identified through a survey as being low spots along the seawall and banks. Rather than simply offering sand bags to property owners for them to place, the city will use its employees and contracted workers to place the bags.
Today, workers will be filling bags that they will begin to place starting on Thursday in the areas identified as needing reinforcement.
Emergency Order issued
In a necessary procedural move, the City's director of the Building Safety, Engineering and Environmental Department, David Bell, today issued an Emergency Order giving these workers the right to access the exterior of privately owned properties to place the sand bags as necessary to prevent water from flowing into neighborhoods. Per the Emergency Order, residents are not to remove sand bags until authorized by the City. Those who do will be subject to a blight ticket of $500 and the possibility of a misdemeanor charge with a maximum penalty of up to $500 and or 90 days in jail.
"While they may pose an inconvenience, the bags we are placing are to help protect residents' homes and removing them at this time would allow the flood waters to pour into the neighborhood," said Chief Operating Officer Hakim Berry.
Berry pointed out that this Order is necessary because the stakes, along with the water levels, are becoming higher.
Overburdened pumping system a concern
"At this point this is not just about protecting people's homes and personal property. That is a major focus, but it's also about reducing the demand on our wet weather pumping and treatment facilities," said DWSD Director Gary Brown.
"Our system has performed beautifully given the extraordinary demand, but we have to alleviate the pressure from the river before we have more wet weather and our ability to collect and process sewage is either reduced or eliminated for a period of time," Brown said.
Brown said that to reduce some of the demand on the sewer system, DWSD crews have strategically blocked catch basins in some areas away from homes that don't significantly impact the public. "This, of course, is a temporary but necessary measure until we are able to stop the floodwaters from entering the combined sewer system and they eventually begin to recede."

For many military veterans adjusting back into civilian life, most notably when he or she is pursuing that first job, obstacles seem to be common-place.
Even when a veteran is ready in body and soul to search for that post-military job, he or she may encounter immediate rejection. Hiring managers generally possess rigid mind sets when it comes to filling their open positions, demanding equally rigid (and easily transferable) skill sets, no matter who is applying to them.
How, then, do ex-military candidates overcome these unique challenges?
Here are five realistic suggestions on how to beat those challenges and attain a fulfilling, challenging civilian job:
1. Military Skills Don't Apply to Civilian Life
Identify your transferable skills and credentials. While many skills acquired in the military seem highly specialized and inconsequential to civilian life, keep in mind that those skills and experiences are relevant and should be incorporated into your resume.
You learned how to operate, and to use successfully complex machinery, right? You also learned how to lead teams and to follow through on assignments — some of which were life and death situations. Plus, you learned how to solve problems quickly and creatively. So, why not include those things in your resume?
Security clearances, which many veterans hold, can be extremely valuable credentials for defense or security-related jobs, both in the federal government and in firms that contract with the government.
2. Job Skills Don't Exactly Match the Job Description
Hiring managers typically seek candidates that have done the exact job before, or at least possess most of the skills that closely match the job description. The transitioning military candidate, on the other hand, will more likely not have done that exact job before — at least not in recent history — though he or she may have done something similar in the past. As such, he or she has the potential to offer a lot of qualities a company wants: Well-honed leadership skills as well as the ability to learn rapidly, to assimilate and to grow.
3. Gaps in the Resume
Create a functional resume rather than a chronological one. Although hiring managers usually prefer chronological resumes, it may be more advantageous to keep the focus on your skills, achievements and successes rather than on the specific dates of your employment. Use headings such as, "marketing experience," "sales successes," or "benchmarks met," and then list your achievements accordingly.
Also, update your skills before you start your job search. Truthfully enhance your resume a few months before beginning your job search, to both fill in any gaps in your work history as well as to enrich your experience. Good ways to do this would be to volunteer, acquire an internship or take a class — online or at a local community college. Any of the above will help to kick-start your resume and your life.
4. Getting in Front of the Right People
Not always an easy task, but this is where a top-notch recruiter can not only be an asset to you but can also become your new best friend! Recruiters typically deal directly with hiring managers, so your resume will likely end up in the hands of the decision makers.
Even if recruiters must first go through the HR department, they have developed relationships with key HR staff and know that resumes won't end up lost or deleted from email queues. This is the first step to getting your foot in the door!
5. Impatience with the Re-assimilation Process
Being patient with yourself as your transition to civilian life will take time and you may experience stumbling blocks along the way. Injuries and physical limitations may also add additional challenges affecting your self-image. There is a good deal of transitional assistance available from not only the armed services but also from federal, state and local governments. Additionally, nonprofit organizations, and specific veteran's organizations offer assistance in the re-assimilation process.
Keep an open mind and be open to different opportunities, as those who narrowly limit themselves to only certain types of jobs often pass up on perfectly good options. If necessary, take a job that may not be exactly what you want at the present time, but consider it a stepping stone to attaining your dream job eventually.
A final thought…
When looking for your first post-military job, don't limit your exposure to opportunities only within your current geographic area. Expand your horizons. If you're not tied down to a particular location, search for jobs in other areas of the country. If you have some flexibility in relocation, do it! Casting a wider net into new geographic areas will certainly open up all types of possibilities.

A century-old law in the Roman Catholic church affirms that one should remain celibate so he can be ordained as a priest. However, that law might be abolished sooner due to the scarcity of ministers in the far-flung villages within the forests of the Amazon. Recently, a Vatican paper has requested this kind of transformation as the answer to the insufficiency of clergy in the area.
The Viri Probati
The said endorsement will be taken up at a synod of bishops hailing from the Amazon. This will happen in October at the Vatican. A paper that discusses the said meeting says that proclaiming "viri probati" or "men of proven virtue", should be taken up.
The paper explains how problematic it is in celebrating the Holy Eucharist regularly in these distant villages. It also talked about the convenience of the religion's followers when attending the sermon. Majority of their followers in the Amazon leaves their communities deprived of the Eucharist.
Requirements to Become a "Married Priest"
The Viri Probati also specified the conditions needed to become a priest, despite being wed. They prefer men that are native and are well valued and recognized within their respective villages. Married men that has already established their own families will also be given a chance to become a priest in their village. That is as long as their families are also reputable and firm. These so-called "married priests" can be a role model to their followers that way.
Pope Francis has been very vocal about accepting wedded men to be sent to remote areas.
However, he cited that the rule of celibacy should persist to most priests, especially those that are assigned to populated areas. The leader of the Catholic church has also expressed support for women to be in the church "at all levels."

Moodabidri, Nov 12, 2017: 15th annual Kambala organised by the Koti-Chennaya Jodu Kare Kambala Samiti, Ontikere, Moodabidri, hit a secular chord as the managing trustee of the Badagu Mahalingeshwara Temple, Alangar, Vedamurthi Eshwar Bhat, Rev. Sunil Veigas of Alangar Church and businessman Abdul Rawoof jointly inaugurated the event.
Falling in line with the Supreme Court guidelines, the organisers allowed jockeys to whip buffaloes only three times and in self-defence. Two jockeys, who violated this rule, were disqualified. However, they were allowed to participate in the next round without a whip in their hand. In a first, the organisers used digital timers on both tracks for better accuracy.
The event drew thousands of fans as it was celebrated as a Vijayotsava following the promulgation of The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Karnataka Amendment) Ordinance, 2017 that allowed the rural sport. Pro-Kabaddi star Sukesh Hegde from Ajekar, Karkala, who was part of the inaugural ceremony, said Kambala to Tulunadu is like Diwali to India, and wished it all success.
Kuldeep M of Chowtara Aramane Kuldeep M presided. Nearly 150 pairs of buffaloes were brought by Kambala fans from various parts of Udupi, Dakshina Kannada and Kasaragod districts.
Mulky-Moodbidri MLA K Abhaychandra Jain, the main sponsor, said the organisers in the coastal districts are confident of getting clearance from the Supreme Court which has issued notices to central and state governments in connection with a petition filed by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals India.
"India got freedom through a war of ahimsa. We've been fighting for Kambala in the same manner. We also follow ahimsa during the conduct of Kambala. We're confident the Supreme Court will be convinced during the hearing on November 13," he added.
Fr Francis Xavier Gomes, parish priest, Mulky Church, said: "It's encouraging to note that Kambala is being celebrated as a feast of all religions. A Kambala research centre should come up at Moodbidri and the government should provide more facilities."
The Supreme Court, on November 6, admitted a petition filed by PETA India, which challenged the legality of the Karnataka Ordinance allowing Kambala. While admitting the petition seeking a court direction to strike down the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Karnataka Amendment) Ordinance, 2017 the Supreme Court issued a notice to the Centre and Karnataka government asking them to appear in the matter on November 13.

Welcome back to another edition of Chart Check! Each Friday, Rated R&B provides detailed insight to the weekly chart movements of your favorite R&B artists and R&B songs. In this updated format, we will discuss Billboard's Adult R&B Songs (Urban AC) and Nielsen's Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop National Airplay (Urban) charts extensively. Read below for more information on the week of October 6, 2017:
Single Selections
Trey Songz's Tremaine the Album era continues with the selection of his second single "Songs Goes Off." The Atlantic Records signee received 12 adds at R&B radio in the latest tracking week. If the song charts, it will be Trey's first Urban AC charter since 2015's "Slow Motion." Tremaine the Album debuted at No. 1 on the R&B albums chart and No. 3 overall upon its release in March.
If Tamar Braxton was set on going out with a bang, then she is definitely on the right track with her new song "Blind." Lifted from her latest and last album Bluebird of Happiness, the heartbreaking ballad is serving as the second single behind lead single "My Man," which currently sits at No. 10 on the Urban AC Chart. "Blind" received 16 adds this week, making it the most added song on urban contemporary radio. Bluebird of Happiness is available now on all digital platforms.
On The Rise
Sam Smith is back and bigger with his new single "Too Good at Goodbyes." Thanks to rising popularity and the release of the song's music video, Smith has shot up the Urban AC chart, rising 22-12 on this week's chart. The track saw a 255 spin increase since last week, making it the most spin increased song of the week on R&B radio. It also received an additional nine adds on R&B radio formats.
Like little sister, like big sister, and vice versa! Toni Braxton is starting her new era in the right direction with her new single "Deadwood." The song continues to rise, jumping 30-23 on the Urban AC chart thanks to a 148 spin increase in the latest tracking week. The song also received 12 adds on R&B formats, making her the second most-added R&B song of the week. The first? Her younger sister, Tamar.
Leaps and Bounds
Tank has been building momentum in preparation for his new album Savage which was just released last night, Sept. 29. Lead single "When We" is the shining star of the week, as it rose to the No. 5 spot on the Urban AC Chart this week. The bedroom banger saw an increase of 124 spins on R&B radio station, the fourth-highest increase this week.
Here's some chart superstition: every time Tank has a song enter the top 5 on this chart, it eventually becomes a No. 1 hit. Tank notched No. 1 songs in 2007 with "Please Don't Go" and again in 2012 with "Next Breath." As you can tell, his chart toppers are five years apart, which would continue if "When We" ever reaches the top spot in the year of 2017. Does "When We" have the potential to further this interesting trend? Tank has some stiff competition against the rising force of Khalid's "Location," the slight resurgence of Childish Gambino's "Redbone," and the staying power of Sevyn Streeter's breezy jam "Before I Do" which logs a fifth week at No. 1 this week. Competition aside, Tank has a shot, but only time will tell.
SZA has brought the heat this summer and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon with her latest single "The Weekend." In the latest tracking week, the song leapt 10 spots, rising 40-30 on the urban radio chart. Fueled by a 249 spin increase, the Ctrl cut was the fifth-most spin increased song of the week. If that wasn't enough, the song has also received 18 more adds on urban radio formats. If this type of success is any indication, "The Weekend" is on it's way to becoming a solid radio hit.
R&B Albums Chart Update
Billboard's R&B album had a couple of notable chart movements in the last week. First up, Musiq Soulchild debuted at No. 16 on the chart this week with her double-disc set Feel the Real. The album is lead by his single "Start Over," which now sits at No. 15 on the Urban AC chart. A little higher up on the chart sits Beyoncé's 2016 album Lemonade, which leapt 24-8 in the latest tracking week. Lemonade is Beyoncé's latest album, which featured singles such as the impactful "Formation," whimsical "Hold Up," and Just Blaze-produced "Sorry." In other Beyoncé news, the songstress has hopped on the remix to J Balvin and Willy William's latin banger "Mi Gente." As previously reported, the sales from the song will be donated as relief funds for Puerto Rico, Mexico, and other Caribbean Islands and is already the No. 1 song on iTunes Worldwide. Expect for this track to make a splash in the next couple of weeks.
Quick Notes
And in quick notes: Rising artist Izzy Bizu is getting her first shot at radio success with her song "Diamond." The song received 10 adds at R&B radio, the fourth-most for the week; Khalid's "Location" proves to be the hit that just won't go away. The song, sitting at on the Urban AC chart at the No. 4 spot, saw a 131 spin increase this week. With the decline of Bruno Mars' "That's What I Like," the song is definitely on the trajectory for a top 3 finish within he next couple of weeks; And finally, Jazmine Sullivan and Bryson Tiller's "Insecure" duet is beginning to find real chart success as it double debuts on both the Urban and Urban AC chart this week. The song sits at No. 30 on Urban AC and No. 37 on the urban radio chart.

If you were looking forward to BRS 2, I'm sorry, but you'll have to wait much, much longer. According to GSC President Aki Takanori's twitter, the rumour that BRS 2 was confirmed that was spread through twitter was false – the fact was that BRS 2 had not received approval yet.
@Kusima It's not that there is no possibility of a sequel to Black Rock Shooter, but our eagerness in making a sequel had been treated as an official announcement in AFA. Nevertheless, we'll work towards getting a sequel.
So in other words, a sequel to BRS is unconfirmed : meaning that the possibility of no sequel at all is still entirely possible.
Problem, BRS fans?

Article Text
Biomedical research has a long and complicated history as a tool of oppression, exemplary of the racial science used to legitimise and maintain racial hierarchies in the USA and abroad. While the explicit racism and racial inferiority supported by this research has dissipated and modern methods of inquiry have increased in sophistication and rigor, contemporary biomedical research continues to essentialise race by distilling racial differences and disparities in health to an underlying, biogenetic source. Focusing on the persistence of essentialism in an era of genomic medicine, this paper examines the deep social origins and social implications of the essentialist viewpoint in biomedicine and how it relates to the broader construction of social and scientific knowledge. Invoking Hacking's 'looping effects' as a useful conceptual tool, I then demonstrate how sociohistorical forces influence scientific and medical research in producing evidence that favours and legitimises a biological construction of race. I extend the looping framework to consider a parallel 'louping' process whereby applying a socially rooted meaning to race in biomedical research results becomes magnified to influence social norms and ideas about race. As many biomedical researchers are motivated by a desire to eliminate racial disparities in outcomes, I argue that greater social acuity allows scientists to avoid individualising and racialising health, challenge preconceived assumptions about the meaning of racial variation in health and medicine and thus promote and strengthen a socioenvironmental focus on how to best improve individuals' and population health. Concluding with a call for structural competency in biomedical research, I suggest that empowering scientists to more freely discuss sociostructural factors in their work allows for the continued use of race in biological and medical research, while social scientists and medical humanities scholars stand to benefit from seeing their work imbued with the cultural authority currently granted to biomedicine.

Andy Core is an expert in Work-Life Balance, Wellbeing, and Peak Human Performance.
Competition can be good because it encourages you to push your limits and achieve more. However, if the focus of your competition is simply trying to be better than others in life, competition can eventually have a negative impact on your life. You are unique and there is no need to try to outdo others in all areas of life.
Instead, compete with yourself. Let your daily goal to do a well or better than you did yesterday. Competing with others and fulfilling some arbitrary goal is no way to live. Instead, be you you are, and improve upon that. Let other's encourage you rather than pressure you. And don't pressure yourself. Work with your talents and passions and build on that. When you constantly strive to improve yourself you will achieve great things and reach your goals. Competing with others will just waste your time and resources and ultimately not bring you any worthwhile rewards. Listen to a leadership speaker to learn about healthy competition.
That being said, it's good to work towards your goals with others. It's much easier to stay motivated when you're dieting or exercising with others. Don't compete with them. Just work toward's your goals with others and be encouraged to keep going.

Tentative 2020 Tournament Dates: September 16th – 20th, 2020
WE ARE CURRENTLY MONITORING THE CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC SITUATION AND WILL ANNOUNCE IF THE TOURNAMENT CAN PROCEED THIS YEAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (July/early August)
This coming September in Halifax, NS, international and local sports fishermen will join private boaters along with local charters to compete in the "Halifax Nova Scotia International Tuna Tournament (HNSITT)". The HNSITT proudly announces that this year's tournament will be a qualifying event for the Offshore World Championship (OWC) billfishing tournament to be held April 19th to 24th of 2020 in Quepos, Costa Rica (to be confirmed). www.offshoreworldchampionship.com
and to determine the final total number of bluefin tuna that may be landed in support of the IWK Foundation.
- Bluefin Tuna are managed in the Atlantic by the international commission for the conservation of Atlantic tuna (ICCAT). Quotas are set at sustainable levels by the International members based on the most up to date scientific advice. As a member of ICCAT, Canada receives an allocation based on this scientific data. The tournament fishes within the Canadian allocation, hence at a sustainable level that allows the stocks to continue to grow."
Any fish landed in the tournament will be sold domestically and/or overseas with the proceeds of all sales being donated to the "IWK Health Centre Foundation" in Halifax Nova Scotia. In order to optimize charitable contributions for the event, a portion of the tournament entry fees will be directly donated to the IWK in lieu of any cash prizes awarded to the tournament winners.
The Halifax Nova Scotia International Tuna Tournament is one of the few opportunities to recreationally fish for the highly regulated and elusive bluefin tuna for both private and commercial/charter fishers. Tuna weigh-ins and vessel dockage will be along the Halifax Waterfront at the South Battery Marina (Bishop's Landing) through the period of Friday the 13th to Tuesday the 17th of September in 2019 (to be confirmed with DFO authorization). The registration deadlines is Friday, August 16th, 2019. This allows us better time management with regards to arranging with DFO and ordering necessary items. Facilities access has been generously sponsored by Develop Nova Scotia. Halifax region tournaments in the past have caught bluefin tuna in the range of 600 to 900 pounds and 8 to 9 feet in length.
The Halifax International Tuna Tournament results and press releases are included on the Photos & Releases Page.
HTTS would like to thank DFO, the donating fishing associations and all of our other generous donors for making this tournament possible. Please click on the links below to patronize our donors if you can, Thanks.

I was watching some cooking show and the hostess had a couple of great recipes that I intend on trying. Without a doubt, they will taste amazing. This is a simple potato salad that would be rich in flavour and I'm adding a couple of modifications to it. The other is a potato tort that was making my mouth water just looking at it. Both are extremely simple, there's no messing them up really. The measurements weren't giving so use your best judgment based on the amount of people you're cooking for.
- Several potatoes (waxy potatoes are best for retaining their shape)
- Bacon – cut into finger-width slices before cooking
- Minced garlic
- Thinly sliced red onion
- White wine vinegar
- Chicken Stock
- Grape seed or olive oil
- Salt (I use No Salt)
- A little pepper
- Green peas (I will substitute with chick peas)
- A generous amount of parsley (not originally called for but I think it will make a good addition)
Boil potatoes until tender throughout and let cool (if they've been chilled in the fridge, they'll be easier to dice). Dice them into bite-sized pieces and put into a large mixing bowl.
In a pan, fry bacon until crisp. Once cooked, drain most of the fat but not all (leave a few tablespoons in it). Place back on heat and add garlic and onion. Sautee for about 5 minutes.
Add the white wine vinegar to release the browned bacon bits stuck on the bottom of the pan. Once the bottom of the pan is cleaned, add the chicken stock. peas, and grape seed oil. Warm thoroughly, remove from heat and pour over the potatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add parsley and mix all ingredients well then serve.

Il combo black/doom metal piacentino Forgotten Tomb ha rilasciato il videoclip a 360° del brano "Second Chances", tratto dal nuovo album We Owe You Nothing in uscita il 27 ottobre (Europa) e il 10 novembre (Nord America) per Agonia Records.
Così la band ha commentato il nuovo album:
"Our discography has always been divided by trilogies. We Owe You Nothing closes the third trilogy which started with …And Don't Deliver Us From Evil followed by Hurt Yourself And The Ones You Love'and it's the heaviest among the 3 albums, with an emphasis on slower/mid tempos and a sludgier approach while retaining also our trademark melodies and dissonant arpeggios, plus some twists which open new doors to the next era of the band. Due to circumstances surrounding it, it's been an extremely painful album to make and therefore it's one of our darkest, while being also filled with raw energy".

This year is an exciting one for me in terms of movie-going. I've already gotten to see The Hobbit brought to dazzling life, and am eagerly awaiting my expanded box-set blu-rays so I can have a marathon with The Lord of the Rings. But perhaps more notably, 2015 is going to be interesting because of all of the sequels. Jurassic World is going to take me back to that magical moment of over twenty years ago when my father, my cousin, and I went to a midnight showing of what would become one of my favorite films of all time. Perhaps of less interest, but no less historical significance, is the reboot/sequel Terminator Genisys. And on a more earth-shattering note, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens will hit the big screen in December, albeit from a new company. (Ironically, though I have no children, I would in theory have been old enough to take two generations to the Star Wars films as each new trilogy premiered.)
But yesterday I discovered something that really set me aback.
After waiting over twenty years for some sort of follow up to Cronenberg's classic, The Fly, I learned that a sequel was going to be told in graphic novel format. Now this is something that had never occurred to me (actually, that's not entirely true; I had thought about sending some sample writing to Geena Davis and begging her to let me novelize her sequel, the screenplay of which is probably still floating around on Richard Jefferies' computer). But to actually see a licensed sequel to a franchise that I had always felt was left a bit incomplete? Never expected it would really happen. Mind you, I knew there was precedence for it; Dark Horse Comics continued with "seasons" of Buffy the Vampire Slayer when it was cancelled from television, thus allowing fans to follow the continuing story in an equally visual medium. And IDW, the company handling The Fly: Outbreak is also responsible for the graphic novel continuation of The X-Files. Now, as a Star Wars fan, spin-offs in other media are nothing new to me. But the notion of official sequels going that direction is one that intrigues me, perhaps because it allows the creators to tell stories that would not otherwise have gotten told due to expense, years passing, or other factors. In this case, I would say that the Fly sequel is probably a bit of both; it's a licensed story, but it features the characters from the original film, and is probably the closest thing I will get to an official third act to that particular story. Regardless, I'm ecstatic. The Fly was probably the one film that changed the way I looked at storytelling, particularly in a speculative fiction setting. I grew up watching all sorts of monster films and science fiction, but I had never seen a monster movie focus so much on the humanity of the characters. It made me sit up and take notice, and when I started writing my own novel, I tried to take that lesson with me. It didn't matter how cool the monster was or how exciting the space battle; if you didn't have characters you found interesting and cared about, your story was bound to fall short.
I have no idea whether this graphic novel sequel is going to be any good or not (and for readers of this post, if you have not seen The Fly, please do not think that my fascination with the film as a paradigm shift is an endorsement--the movie is graphic in a number of ways, R-rated for a reason, and certainly not for the squeamish). But I am nearly as excited about it as I am about the Star Wars film, because it takes me back to a time when the notions of storytelling were still forming in my young brain. I will miss the brilliant scores of the films, but that won't make a difference as I read stories featuring characters the actors are now too old to play, and that will serve as the official continuance of a franchise that made an indelible (and somewhat disgusting) mark on my impressionable mind.
Though I am excited about all of the above, this post was really intended to be a discussion-starter, not a fan-gush about a story I'm excited about. What has my mental gears turning is how movie-goers feel about having stories continued in other mediums? Again, as a Star Wars fan, I have seen every shade of the spectrum, from people who consider the novels and comics to have equal weight to the films, and those who ignore every spin-off, and stick to the on-screen version. But what about those times when the story simply cannot be continued in one medium? Do comic book readers like a story enough to switch to a novel if the creator chooses? Do novel readers deign to read comics if the tale changes stride midstream? Do movie-goers care if their stories are continued elsewhere, or would any other format always seem second-rate?
I like storytelling in a number of mediums (not so much in gaming, but I know it has an immensely strong following, as well), and the notion of crossing over in order to gain a more varied audience has a certain appeal. Having considered graphic novels and even games set in my own universe, I am very interested to know where people's fiction fancy lies. Do you prefer to stick to one medium, or do you care what form the story takes, so long as it's a good one? Can you think of examples where this worked well? Examples where it did not?

As we try to come to terms with recent events in the news regarding fatal police-action shootings, it's only fair that we start with the facts. I do believe the best way to address the issues we're seeing is not with shouting and screaming but conversation and listening and looking at what the data has to say.
The Washington Post did an excellent analysis of fatal police-action shootings for 2015. While the newspaper found nearly 1,000 police-action shootings took place, a breakdown portrays a different picture than what we might see in the media or what we want to believe as part of our own respective narratives.
Here's what the Post found. Out of 965 shootings in 2015:
■ 564 victims were armed with a gun.
■ 281 had another weapon.
■ 90 were unarmed.
A majority of the shootings fell into three categories:
■ The suspect was wielding a weapon.
■ The suspect was suicidal or mentally troubled.
■ The suspect ran when officers said stop.
In 75 percent of the cases, the Post found, the police were under attack or defending someone.
■ 31 percent of suspects pointed a gun at officers.
■ 28 percent were shooting at the cop or someone else.
■ 16 percent were attacking the officer with another weapon.
While white cops shooting unarmed black men were less than 4 percent of police-action shootings, 40 percent of the unarmed shootings involved black men. A majority of the suspects who were shot while armed were white. Three in five of the individuals shot after exhibiting "less than threatening" behavior were black or Hispanic. And when adjusted for population, blacks were seven times more likely to be shot than whites.*
It is rare for an officer to be charged in a police-action shooting. And only 11 officers of the 65 charged in the past decade have been convicted.
According to the National Law Enforcement Memorial Fund, 124 officers were killed in the line of duty 2015. Forty-two were killed by firearms, 35 by auto and motorcycle accidents, and 30 from job-related illnesses.
The average age of the officer killed in the line of duty was 40 and had been on the job 12.5 years.
I present to you these facts, because you can't address an issue until you know exactly what you're addressing. I think there is merit to both sides of the argument about the relationship between police and certain segments of the community, but in order for conversations to take place, there has to be a starting point. I hope this will be part of the discussion.
*The only concern I had with the Post data is that it said blacks were seven times more likely to be to shot by police than whites. That's a problem I have with a lot of racial statistical data because the black population is much smaller than the white population. So, for example, if I have 1,000 whites and 100 blacks in a room and 10 of each group is shot by police, while the number is the same, the percentage for whites is only 1 percent, while for blacks it is 10 percent. So anything that happens to blacks will disproportionately be larger.•

Sufferer's of Fibromyalgia usually suffer in silence. No one understands their pain, and it is often too hard or unbelievable to try to describe it. Most often it is met with disbelief or as a cry for attention. The medical community, until recently, only fed into that stereotype. Unfortunately some still do. Pain is invisible, and can't be measured. I know many of sufferers are often labeled as "drug seekers" or handed off to a Psychiatrist, as if they had some mental disorder.
My journey with Fibromyalgia, Fibro for short, began approximately 15 years ago. It falls into a category with a diagnosis such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Where there are no clear cut diagnostic tests that doctors can run, that can say definitively that you have either one of these disorders.
This makes it so complicated to understand and to explain to friends and loved ones just what is going on. I so often hear "It's all in your head", or the never ending lists of good intentioned people suggesting this or that might be the reason, or if something could help. Usually involving questions that begin with "Have you tried this?" or "Have you tried that?" (I hate to admit it but I have become resentful when I hear these well meaning questions. If it were that simple don't you think I would have thought of that by now.) I have to remind myself that they do not know what it is like to wake up in my life.
Every morning before I open my eyes I slowly move each part of my body to assess the pain… "Is it going to be a good day?" I quietly ask myself. Most of the time that answer is no. Some days my husband hands me my medication and a drink, on the better days I can manage myself. Then I lay in bed waiting for the meds to kick in so I can get up and begin my day. On the bad days I need my husband's assistance to help me get up. On the better mornings I can manage to roll out of bed, but such a simple task that most people take for granted, is one that I struggle with on a daily basis.
Quality of life is what I strive for. I yearn for a balance of happiness and pain. Everything I do, I mentally balance, as if on a scale. If I do this… or that…. how can I counterbalance it to make it worth it? The biggest factor on that balance is my youngest daughter. Her smile, laughter, happiness always come first. Then I have my husband, my role as a wife, and the tasks of being a homemaker.
So often something has to suffer to fulfill a more necessary goal. Such as doing the dishes over mopping the floor. Or not washing the laundry so I can help my daughter with her homework. It all greatly depends on how I am feeling and what I find to be most important on my "to-do" list. Prioritizing is the key to keeping balance.
I have found many products, tips, and tricks to make some of my daily life easier so I can sacrifice less and have a more productive role in our family. Tasks such as shopping, cleaning the house, cooking dinner are far greater hurdles. So I have learned to shop online, use products that are much easier to use to clean the house with, and many recipes that take very little time and effort to prepare. I plan on sharing these with you, and hope that you too will find their benefit.This is one of the biggest reason I have started this blog. Is to help others like me who suffer from chronic health conditions become a more active participant in their own lives and in the lives of their families.
My quest is never ending, and I would like to take you along, as I discover new ways of coping and succeeding. I want to discover the best sites, and the most useful tools that can add to our quality of life. So we spend less time worrying about it and more time living a happy and fulfilling life!

MMA Workout: Bump Up Your Routine by Training Like an Ultimate Fighter
MMA Workout: Train Like Jens Pulver
Although not every fighter trains the same, it can easily be said that MMA (mixed martial arts) fighters must undergo extensive fitness routines in order to get in shape for an upcoming fight. Whether you are getting sick and tired of doing the same old routine, or you want to step your workout up a notch, an MMA workout will definitely knock you into shape.
Warm-up: Warm-up by doing 25 meter sprints. Sprint 25 meters, then walk back to start. Repeat this for 5-minutes.
Station Workout:
Station 1: Do 15 push-ups, 15 jumping jacks, and 15 dips. Repeat this for full 5-minutes.
Station 2: Do 15 heavy bag presses, 10 standing dumbell presses, and 15 dumbell push-ups. Repeat this for 5-minutes.
Station 3: Do 10 fast high knees, 10 mountain climbers, 10 split lunges, and 10 jumping jacks. Repeat this for 5-minutes.
Station 4: Do 10 free-weight squats, 10 squats with overhead press, 10 tricep presses, 10 bicep curls, 10 shoulder circles, and 10 bent-over rows. Repeat this for 5-minutes.
Station 5: Do 10 medicine ball touches, 10 band snaps/pulldowns, and 10 ab-wheel rolls. Repeat this for 5-minutes.
Grip Work: Do 10 rope pull-ups, 10 tennis ball pull-ups, and 10 plate pinches (hold two 45lb plates until you cannot hold any longer.)
Advantages to the MMA Workout
As you can see, an MMA workout is intense, fast-paced, and challenging. The above workout is an example workout from UFC fighter Jens Pulver. The warm-up is used to get the blood flowing and muscles loose. The station routines focus on building power and endurance together.
The grip work is incorporated in order to build hand strength and endurance. If you have ever wondered how MMA fighters go through in their training routines, then use this example. Jens Pulver has been fighting in the UFC for years now, and it is safe to say that his challenging workouts have paved the way for his success.

Little green men are the first thing we have in mind when someone mentions the second smallest planet in our Universe, the red coloured Mars. Since children, we are bothered with movies that show that those little green creatures are the population of this planet. Scientists fight to prove that there is life on this planet, rich people are already preparing for trip to Mars. The 'Red Planet', as it is popularly known has received the name after the Roman God of war. It is called Red, due to the iron oxide that exists in big amount on the Planet's surface.

Good questions. You are not an easy buyer, are you? lol. These are questions I have prepared to explain to the vendors myself. I don't think I can include all these details into a leaflet.Originally Posted by Jibralta
1)You have to set up a business account which takes 30 seconds and you have to submit only five things: name of your business, business email address, address, postcode, type of business (bar/cafeteria etc). You get a password in your email and you use this pass to login to your account.
2)The turn around depends on whether I am in front of a pc or mobile phone. I will have to review the deal before it is posted as it could be a spam. It could take 5 secs if I have my mobile.
3)You can use a photo you downloaded from the web/another source or take a pic of the product with your phone when you are creating the deal.
4)As a vendor you are able to see how many likes/dislikes and views your deal received. It gives you an indication of how popular your deal is. I don't have any advanced analytics for the time being. You can see this information when you login to your business account.
5) As a user, it only takes one click of a button literally. The only thing you have to do is to agree with the app to identify your location. That's it. Based on your location the app finds all the deals within 30 km from your current location.

DOUGLAS OSHEROFF (b. 1945)
Douglas Osheroff (with David Lee and Robert Richardson) was honored with the 1996 Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering the transition of helium-3 into a superfluid state.
In 1987, he left to become a professor of physics at Stanford University, where he continues to work on superfluid and solid helium-3. Besides supervising his graduate students, he also teaches undergraduate physics, and has won Stanford's Gores Award for excellence in teaching.
ROBERT MERTON (b. 1944)
His Caltech master's degree served him well, however, for he appreciated Caltech's "creed of placing students from the outset in a research framework . . . instead of merely passively learning the material." As a doctoral student at MIT he studied under well-known economist Paul Samuelson.
After earning his PhD in 1970, he taught finance for 18 years at MIT's Sloan School of Management, where he met Myron Scholes. Merton moved to Harvard Business School in 1988, where he is currently John and Natty McArthur University Professor.
He is also a principal and co-founder of Long-Term Capital Management.
AHMED H. ZEWAIL (b.1946)
He is internationally known as a pioneer in the field of femtochemistry, in which investigators use ultrafast lasers to probe chemical reactions in real time. Because reactions can take place in a millionth of a billionth of a second, Zewail's state-of-the-art lasers have made it possible to observe and study this motion for the first time, allowing scientists to understand at a fundamental level how chemical bonds form and break.
Femtochemistry has had wide-ranging impact on chemistry and photobiology all over the world.
LELAND HARTWELL (b.1939)
He has discovered that limitation or overexpression of many essential cell-cycle components leads to errors in chromosome transmission.
VERNON LOMAX SMITH (b. 1927)
In the years that followed, he also taught at Stanford, Brown, and the University of Massachusetts. In the early 1970s he began a long-standing collaboration with Caltech experimental economist Charles Plott, and spent 1973-74 at the Institute as a Sherman Fairchild Distinguished Scholar.
He stayed on in California through 1974-75 with a joint appointment at Caltech and USC. In 1975 he moved to the University of Arizona, where he remained for 26 years. Smith is currently professor of economics and law at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, a research scholar in the Interdisciplinary Center for Economic Science, and a fellow of the Mercatus Center.
HUGH DAVID POLITZER (b. 1949)
ROBERT H. GRUBBS (b. 1942)
Grubbs's work on olefin metathesis in particular has produced powerful new catalysts that have enabled the custom synthesis of valuable molecules, among them pharmaceuticals and polymers with novel materials properties.
He came to Caltech in 1978 as a full professor, and was named the Victor and Elizabeth Atkins Professor of Chemistry in 1990.

Block B's Park Kyung Is Asked Unexpected Question on "Problematic Men"
On April 10, rapper Nop.K, who was a law major at Chung Ang University, was a guest on tvN's "Problematic Men." When he talks about contracts, Block B's Park Kyung agrees with the rapper's statements, drawing upon Block B's previous lawsuit against their old agency.
The idol explains, "We made the terms really simple when writing up the contract," and says that he has around two or three years left in his current contract.
Jun Hyun Moo asks him, "Will you renew your contract after two, three years?"
Taken aback at the sudden question, Park Kyung is unable to answer.
Kim Ji Suk laughs while saying the expression on the idol's face fascinates him.
Meanwhile, Block B just released their latest mini album, "Blooming Period," and will have their first comeback stage on "Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook."

MANILA — The Sandiganbayan has junked the plea of a former Sarangani governor seeking to dismiss criminal cases against him over the alleged misuse of a PHP5-million fertilizer fund in 2004.
The anti-graft court's 6th Division denied Miguel Escobar's motion to quash for lack of merit.
"In the cases before the Court, accused Escobar failed to seasonably assert his right to a speedy disposition of the case. He neither raised the issue of inordinate delay before the Office of the Ombudsman nor took any overt acts questioning the alleged inordinate delay. His inaction shows acquiescence and waiver to question any violation of his right to a speedy disposition of the case," it said in a resolution dated January 16.
The Office of the Ombudsman charged Escobar with graft and malversation after he entered into a tripartite memorandum of agreement between Saranggani province, Department of Agriculture 12 (Soccsksargen), and Workers Cooperative of the Philippines (WCP), a non-governmental organization, the selection of which as the conduit implementor of the fertilizer project was attended by alleged irregularities.
In his motion to quash, Escobar argued that he was no longer the governor when the criminal acts were allegedly committed from July to September in 2004.
He added that he was deprived of due process because he never received a copy of the Ombudsman's resolution as he has neither used nor gave the Ombudsman the residential address stated in the charge sheet.
He also argued that the Ombudsman violated his right to a speedy disposition of the case as it took it almost six years to file the cases on May 4, 2018 from the time the complaint was instituted on Nov. 7, 1992.
However, the court said the information against Escobar were filed one month and 25 days from the approval of the joint order denying the motion for reconsideration and/or reinvestigation by his co-accused — Abdulwahab A. Bayao, Estrella C. Sabay, and Mustapha G. Ismael.
"The prosecution also gave sufficient justification for the time it took the Office of the Ombudsman to conduct its preliminary investigation and to file the information with the Sandiganbayan," it added.
"This Court is not unmindful of the duty of the Ombudsman under the Constitution and Republic Act No. 6770 to act promptly on complaints brought before it. Such duty, however, should not be mistaken with a hasty resolution of cases at the expense of thoroughness and correctness," it said.
The Sandiganbayan set Escobar and the other accused's arraignment and pre-trial on Feb. 8, 2019. (PNA)

The DROID DNA is a plain incredible phone. With a 5 inch screen, and incredible specs, it goes the whole hog in competing with the iPhone. Google have also released a great phone in the Nexus 4. Wit both being on the Android operating system it is down to the looks and functionality as to whether one prefers one or the other. Let's take a glance at the two phones together.
The Google Nexus 4 undoubtedly feels quality and looks quality. It is a sturdy phone with a high gloss finish and a nice pattern on the back. It can be prone to smudging and scuff marks. For me it appears very conventional. The design is not innovative in my opinion but then when did the Google Search Engine ever look nice. I remember the first time I saw Google.co.uk. I thought what is that? Yahoo is much better because it has stories. I now know functionality and practicality will win every time.
The HTC is a big phone, almost as big as the Samgung Note II. It has firmly put itself in the phablet camp. The Nexus 4 is 4.7 inches so is only slightly smaller. It seems easier to operate though and more usable in general. The HTC buttons are too flush in my opinion. They are hard to operate and too small. LG, the manufacturer this Google phone, have got the usability right. The keys are responsive, providing good feedback to their owner.
When it comes to the displays the HTC is the expected winner. The DROID DNA is one of the best in the whole of the market. They have incredible viewing angles, pixel density and colours. Viewing outside is not a problem as the screen is bright and usable even in direct sunlight. The Nexus 4 suffers a little compared to the HTC in all of these areas. It also has warm colour, but can have some distortions when viewed from extreme angles and some glare outdoors.
I am excited to see the next Google phone. I think they are an incredible company and they are able to get to the heart of any matter and get the important things right. The smartphone market is incredibly competitive, but Google are going to be able to throw a lot of money at getting themselves to the forefront.
Their partnership with LG on this phone has been a success and compared with just about any other phone I think they would get a positive outcome. The DROID DNA is just too good though. It is the best for me. Better than the Nexus 4, better than the iPhone and better than the Windows 8X.

Bush: Iraq violence is a 'very positive moment'
Speaking to the Times of London in an interview published Thursday, President George W. Bush declared that the latest wave of violence in Iraq yielded "a very positive moment in the development of a sovereign nation that is willing to take on elements that believe they are beyond the law."
The Times headline?
"President Bush: Iraq violence is a 'positive moment.'"
In an interview with The Times, he backed the Iraqi Governments decision to respond forcefully to the spiralling violence by criminal elements and Shia extremists in Basra. It was a very positive moment in the development of a sovereign nation that is willing to take on elements that believe they are beyond the law, the President said.
Asked if British troops had retreated to the relative safety of the Basra airbase too hastily last year, Mr Bush said that the pullback had been based upon success in quelling violence, adding that he remained grateful for the contribution made by British Forces from day one of the war.
Mr Bush, who had spent the morning being briefed on Iraq by the Pentagon before an imminent announcement on US troop levels, said that despite substantial gains since the US military surge began last year, much work was needed to maintain the success weve had.
The Bush Administration has a history of turning violence into "positives."
During the 2006 war in Lebanon, for example, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice declared the Israeli attack as "birth pangs."
"What we're seeing here, in a sense, is the growing -- the birth pangs of a new Middle East and whatever we do we have to be certain that we're pushing forward to the new Middle East not going back to the old one," Rice said.
During his interview with the Times, Bush disparaged those who want US troops to come home, and reinforced his power, saying as he has before, "I'm commander in chief."
He averred that decisions would not be made by those who scream the loudest in calling for troops to come home.
I understand people here want us to leave, regardless of the situation," he said, "but that will not happen so long as Im Commander-In-Chief.

I have not heard of a geon before in the context of physics, so I looked it up. As far as I can tell, a geon is only theoretical. It is generally believed that they cannot be stable particles, therefore all the research is just on the theory. I say 'in the context of physics' because geon is also a term used in a different type of science - psychology. In this context, geons are used in object recognition experiments. A geon is a simple shape or object such as a circle or cylinder that, when combined with other geons, stimulate recognition of more complex objects. For example, a sphere set on top of a cone often makes people think of an ice cream cone. The idea is that visual recognition, on the most basic level, can be broken down to the spatial relationship of simple shapes.
Random fact of the day for you.

Hey, everyone! Today was a rare occasion: I didn't have sweats on! Granted, I am not, by any means, "dressed up" by normal people standards, but by Megan standards, you'll never catch me more dressed up than this. Unless I'm going to a special event of some sort, I live in sweat pants and hoodies! So I thought I'd share an Outfit Of The Day post with ya'll. Oh, and ignore the mess! I'm moving to a new apartment in about 2 months, so I'm moving things around and getting everything ready for that. And, while you're at it, go ahead and ignore my crazy, horrible roots too… I'm getting my hair done Saturday, so we won't have to stare at that anymore!
Mint green stripped top: Charlotte Russe
Black, zip pocket skinny jeans: American Eagle
Blue scarf: American Eagle (it's about 6 or 7 years old!)
Brown, fringe boots: Macy's
Hope ya'll enjoyed this quick, OOTD post! Sorry 'bout the fuzzy picture quality, this was taken with my iPhone which has been dropped several thousand times. I've been trying to wear actual clothes instead of my typical lazy day outfits, so I might have more of these type of posts up periodically. Let me know whatcha think!
XOXO, Megan (:

If you feel that your human rights have been violated by a public authority's misuse of power, you should consult a solicitor without delay. The point was made by the case of a traditional salmon fisherman who won more than £180,000 in damages after an Environment Agency decision effectively put him out of business.
The pensioner had for many years held a lease that entitled him to take salmon from a stretch of the River Severn, using an ancient technique which involves trapping adult salmon in baskets. He and a fellow fisherman caught hundreds of salmon annually, generating an income of about £60,000 a year.
However, due to concerns about declining salmon stocks in protected river waters, the agency proceeded to impose conditions on his annual fishing licence which restricted his catch to just 30 fish per year. Further reductions were imposed in subsequent years, but no compensation was offered.
The fisherman launched proceedings on the basis that the required reduction in his catch was so onerous as to make his business wholly uneconomic and his lease of little or no value. After he fought a long campaign through the legal system, the Supreme Court found that there was a rational basis for the agency's decision.
However, there was no evidence that the agency had considered the devastating impact on the fisherman's livelihood before making a decision that eliminated at least 95 per cent of his business. On that basis, the imposition of the restrictions without payment of compensation amounted to a breach of his human right to peacefully enjoy his private property, enshrined in Article 1 of Protocol 1 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
Following a further hearing, the High Court awarded the fisherman £187,278 in damages to reflect his loss of profits arising from the agency's decision over a three-year period. Several years' worth of interest was added to the award.
