Morocco 2026 has courted controversy after a second government of a Caribbean nation declared its support for the North African country's bid for the Fifa World Cup.
The government of the Caribbean island of Dominica has now apparently sided with Morocco 2026, despite strict rules from world football's governing forbidding political interference in national associations and voting agreements linked to pledges for development projects.
The Associated Press news agency, citing a Moroccan government announcement on the bid endorsement, said Dominica hopes to expand intergovernmental ties with Morocco, including in agriculture and student scholarships. "On behalf of Dominica, I am pleased to announce the support of my country for Morocco in the organisation of the 2026 World Cup," Foreign Minister Francine Baron said after meeting with a Moroccan diplomat.
A similar declaration was made last week by St. Lucia's Minister of Development and Sports, Edumnd Estephane, following a meeting with Morocco's ambassador to the country, Abderrahim Kadmiri.
United 2026, the rival to Morocco 2026 comprising the United States, Canada and Mexico, is said to be relying on support from Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (Concacaf) member associations to aid its bid.
However, interim president of the Caribbean Football Union (CFU), Randolph Harris, has stated that the recent statements from the Dominican and St. Lucian governments will not necessarily influence how the nations' football associations will vote.
"As far as I understand it, these statements from St. Lucia and Dominica were made by the governments of these countries," Harris told the ESPN FC website. "Governments don't really vote in the Fifa Congress. I have not heard any confirmation from the FAs of either Dominica or St. Lucia indicating that they have endorsed these statements that were made publicly about their support for Morocco.
"As it stands, we in the Caribbean Football Union will get together and discuss the whole issue of both bids. We will come to a decision. As the leader of the CFU, our confederation has offered a bid for the World Cup in 2026 and I would think that as members of Concacaf, our confederation, that we will be more apt to support Concacaf."
In recent weeks, Fifa has been forced to answer criticism of the bidding process from Morocco 2026. Fifa this week insisted that its bidding procedure for the 2026 World Cup has been designed to avoid costly 'white elephants' in host countries after Morocco questioned the process. Late last month, Fifa was forced to reiterate president Gianni Infantino's impartiality in the bidding process following unconfirmed reports that he favours the North American joint bid.
Harris added: "As far as I understand the situation, Morocco is very aggressive with their canvassing. I think they are working on the theory that with their assistance to the Caribbean at a governmental level, that it can be translated to the national football federations. At this moment I would think that is not the case. I have spoken to Dominica and St. Lucia and their leaders of football have not made any statement that they would support Morocco or not."

Although there have been large Christian communities in what is today called Iraq since the first century, those communities may not endure much longer. They are being driven off by their neighbors.
Today, as Christians all over the world celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Christians of Iraq are afraid to visit their churches. Their fears are grounded in reality. Please pray for them.

If you've ever walked into a room, only to forget why you're there, you're not alone. In fact, it's natural at any age to occasionally forget a thing or two. However, as you get older, it can be easy to focus heavily on those lapses, wondering if they're a sign of cognitive decline. But the occasional memory lapse is normal. In fact, 40 percent of those over the age of 65 will experience age-associated memory impairment, which means chances are, these moments of forgetfulness are no different from those you had when you were younger. Here are a few ways you can tell if your memory lapses are cause for concern.
Difficulty Recalling Past Events
The human brain is limited in its capacity to store memories. Although there is no fixed limit that applies to everyone, it is not typical to be able to remember every event that happens to you going all the way back to childhood.
If you are unable to recall your senior prom date or the name of your third-grade teacher, that's no reason for alarm. However, if you tend to forget conversations that happened five minutes ago, or you routinely find yourself in locations with no memory of how you got there, it may be time to have a cognitive checkup or look into memory care.
Forgetting Names of Others
We've all run into a casual acquaintance at the post office or grocery store, only to find we can't remember the person's name. However, when you suddenly forget the name or identity of an immediate family member, it could be a sign of something that isn't typical with an aging memory. A good indication that you may be suffering from age-related cognitive decline is whether or not the person's name comes to you after a few minutes.

Missing Intermittent Deadlines
No matter what your age, occasionally a bill will slip through the cracks or you'll forget about a doctor's appointment. You may also misplace your keys or lose your car in a packed parking lot on occasion. These are not daily, routine tasks that have become secondhand to you. However, if you find that these memory slips are becoming increasingly common, instituting a calendar-based reminder system to make sure you stay on top of things could be a helpful tool. When missing or forgetting daily tasks becomes more commonplace, memory care could become necessary.
Trouble Performing Basic Tasks
There are some things we do every day that have become automatic. Making coffee, for instance, or tying our shoes. When you find yourself struggling to remember how to do those things, it could be a symptom of cognitive decline. Forgetting how to do things you've done throughout your life is not a normal part of aging.
If you do think you might be suffering age-related cognitive decline, it's important to look at other things that might be causing it. Certain medications have memory loss listed as a side effect, and stress and alcohol use can cause memory impairment.
If you've suffered a recent head injury, you may also have trouble with recall. It's important to seek medical assistance no matter what the cause, but if you can bring these possible causes to your provider's attention, it can help you figure out what's going on and whether you should be concerned about Alzheimer's or dementia.
Here at Walker Methodist, we provide quality and comfortable memory care living options for those who may have cognitive concerns, contact us to learn more.

Suspected Herdsmen Behead PDP Ward Chairman in Adamawa
Suspected Fulani herdsmen have beheaded the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Bare ward in the Numan Local Government Area of Adamawa State, Charles Chrisanthus.
Chrisanthus was reportedly killed in the presence of his wife, Dorcas, in his farm on August 29, 2018.
She said she was holding her four-month old son and watched helplessly as the assailants hacked her husband to death.
However, the widow of the slain PDP chieftain alleged that the police are shielding the killers of her husband, the Punch reports.
"His attackers led by our Fulani neighbours repeatedly stabbed him on the back and on his stomach before beheading my husband in our farm and made away with his head, " she said.
Claiming to have made some arrests, the police had invited the widow of the slain ward chairman and three other female witnesses to the state Criminal Investigation Department for their statements.
It was at the CID that the families of the deceased were alerted to the whereabouts of the suspected killers.
The bereaved families, it was learnt, discovered that some of the suspects arrested in connection with the killing were receiving medical attention at an undisclosed hospital.
Dorcas said she could identify her husband' s killers, insisting that the police were shielding them from answering for their crime.
"The police, under the guise of allowing the suspects to seek medical attention, are shielding those that killed my husband. The only thing I want is justice," she stated.
A PDP youth leader in Bare ward, Tekas Adiel, explained that the police earlier claimed that the Fulanis who allegedly perpetrated the killings had fled the community, insisting that the same assailants carried out another attack on Tuesday.
But the Police Public Relations officer in the state, Musa Habibu, insisted that some of the alleged perpetrators of the crime were in custody, adding that investigation into the incident was ongoing.
He also said a suspect was also entitled to receive medical treatment if such individual was truly ill.
"A suspect has a right to medical attention if he is sick.
"Some arrests have been made and those arrested are in police custody. I have had consultations with the assistant commissioner of police handling the issue, who said arrest had been made.
"But if they said one of those arrested is receiving medical attention, a suspect has a right to medication if he' s truly sick, it could be but I don' t have that information.

The Body / Full Of Hell - Ascending A Mountain Of Heavy Light [Collaboration] review
|The Body / Full Of Hell
|Ascending A Mountain Of Heavy Light [Collaboration]
|Release date:
|November 2017
01. Light Penetrates
02. Earth Is A Cage
03. The King Laid Bare
04. Didn't The Night End
05. Our Love Conducted With Shields Aloft
06. Master's Story
07. Farewell, Man
08. I Did Not Want To Love You So
If you're not a fan of fucked up music, you may as well want to stop reading this review. And no, I don't mean "fucked up" like Belphegor, or Behemoth, or other bands making young teenagers moist with their watered down, consumerist spins on religious blasphemy. I'm talking about the black, abysmal realm that you inevitably enter when purveyors of extreme sonic terror begin to copulate. Best be off with you if you're not a fan of true, nightmarish soundcrafting. This is one for the freaks.
The Body and Full Of Hell have both proven themselves as major innovative forces within their respective genres over the past few years, The Body with their bizarre fusion of sludge with electronic, dark ambient music, and Full Of Hell with their ferocious brand of industrial, noise infused grindcore. It was only a matter of time before these terrifying, rule breaking beasts decided to cross paths with each other. Last year's One Day You Will Ache Like I Ache was the first result of this encounter, but both bands clearly didn't have their fill, as this year's Ascending A Mountain Of Heavy Light demonstrates. While the previous collab was considerably aggressive and raw, feauturing a hearty dose of Full Of Hell's grind personality, this one seems to go almost in the opposite direction, embracing more moderate tempos and otherworldly electronic noises towards the creation of a more hypnotizing, painful, and all around suspenseful sound. In a way it's really this formula that's more satisfying, because, as those already familiar with The Body and Full Of Hell could testify, both bands have already proven themselves capable of violent, sonic fury within their own discographies to begin with, so together it's interesting to see them focusing instead on the the more eerie, dreamlike aspects of their sounds. The only track here that really comes close to the uptempo, more aggressive vibe of earlier is "Earth Is A Cage," but, taking the collab in its entirety, the approach here feels much more like an exception rather than the rule.
Elsewhere, for the bulk of Ascending A Mountain Of Heavy Light, a more shapeless, plodding sound dominates, more restrained in terms of tempo but still incredibly ominous and imposing. It's not so much that the combination of the bands' sounds has become any less intense or frightening, merely that they've shifted gears on the exact way in which it's served. In a way this delivery, more embracing of the various noise, drone, and industrial sounds these musicians all take influence from, is even more bleak and soul sucking than before, as it feels less like getting beaten at night in a dark alley and more like watching the slow, agonizing scene of a murder unfold right before your very eyes. The slowed tempo not only seems to make for a more spine tingling, torturous listening experience, but also seems to open the door for greater experimentation and a wider diversity of sound, as can be seen from the strange use of horns on "Light Penetrates," the almost dance-abe feel of "Master's Story," or the drum driven nature of "Our Love Conducted With Shields Aloft." Of course, the (in)famous, ear-splitting vocals of The Body's Chip King appear here as well, and they're no less "love them or hate them" than they were before. I'll be completely blunt: though those rooster-ish wails can get to be a bit off putting at times, it's almost impossible to imagine the music here with any other type of vocals. Put simply, they complement the horrific atmosphere and serve as the icing on the cake. The album would feel almost incomplete without them.
Ascending A Mountain Of Heavy Light is basically the collab that I wished One Day You Will Ache Like I Ache had been. These two releases form pretty great contrasts to each other, almost having a yin/yang type relationship, the latter focusing more on the frenetic aggression The Body and Full Of Hell are capable of, and the former focusing more on their less structured, more atmospheric machinations. Whether you prefer one, the other, or neither, there's no denying from this piece of work that there's far more to both of these bands than their own discographies might lead one to believe. There's stuff going on with Ascending A Mountain Of Heavy Light that you simply won't find on any other release from either party. It's layered, diverse, and with enough of a natural synthesis between the musicians involved that a lot of the time it becomes quite difficult to really distinguish who contributed what idea. And that, my friends, is the mark of a rock solid collaboration in my book.
A highlight of the year in the more experimental area of metal, and an album that really makes me wish The Body and Full Of Hell would just form their own separate band at this point. Go ascend the mountain.

University of Essex evacuated after 'suspicious package' found
PUBLISHED: 14:26 06 March 2019 | UPDATED: 16:31 06 March 2019
Essex Police have put a cordon in place at the University of Essex in Colchester following calls about a suspicious package.
Officers were called at 11.50am on Wednesday, March 6 to reports of a suspicious package.
Police have also evacuated a section of the university and nearby buildings.
The university had been hosting an applicant day for prospective students at the time.
A spokesman for Essex Police said: "We await the arrival of the Ministry of Defences' EOD team."
The University of Essex tweeted: "Thank you to all our students and staff for reacting swiftly to this incident. "We will update you as soon as possible.
Rebecca Russell, a journalism student at the university said: "It's crazy. It really crowded outside of the university.
"We first saw there was a scare on the police Facebook page but we didn't hear anything from the university.
"We have been told not to go back to the university to try and help with the crowding.
"There aren't any busses running to the university which means a lot of the 2nd and 3rd years can't go home.
"I have loads of work to do so I hope they open again soon."
First Essex confirmed that it has diverted its buses away from the university.
It wrote on Twitter:"Due to the evacuation of @Uni_of_Essex #Colchester, services 97, 98, 61, 62 & 75 will divert around the University via Clingoe Hill.
"More information will follow as it becomes available."

Of all the holidays, Christmas is the holiday that gets young children most excited. After all, there are so many good foods and treats, the excitement of Santa Claus, and so many fun presents!
You can help build your child's enthusiasm for Christmas by helping her participate in Christmas activities. The easiest and most fun way is by creating Christmas crafts.
Candy Cane Tree Decorations
Take a pipe cleaner and form a ball at the end so the beads can't fall off. Have your child alternate red and white pony beads and then form a ball at the other end so the beads won't fall off.
Shape into a candy cane shape and hang on the tree.
This activity is fun, and it teaches your child how to create a pattern (alternating red and white colors) as well as improves his fine motor skills.
Christmas Tree Decoration
Cut the shape of a Christmas tree out of green construction paper. (If you're working with a child 4 or older, you can trace the pattern, and the child can cut it out.) Then, let your child "decorate" the tree. There are some easy ways to do this.
- Buy colorful dot stickers like the kind you find for garage sale pricing and let your child put them on the tree randomly.
- Take a cotton or pom pom ball and dip it in finger paint. Let your child dot the tree. Have a few different balls that you can dip in different colors. If your child has trouble holding the ball, try pinning the ball with a clothes pin so the child can use the clothespin for a handle.
- Add some more pizzazz by letting your child use glitter glue to create tinsel on the tree.
Christmas Wreath
Take a white paper plate and cut out the center circle. (Again, a child 4 or older could do this on her own.)
Let your child use finger paints to color the "wreath" green.
When the wreath dries, decorate it with your choice of decorations. You could glue on colorful pom pom balls (sparkle ones make it look even more festive), or cut and use squares of Christmas colored paper like gold, silver, and red.
Finger Print Lights
Take a white sheet of construction paper and draw a thin black line. Then, draw several black squares along the string to represent the base of the light.
Have your child dip his thumb or forefinger in finger paint to create the lights.
Use a variety of colors to make a festive string of lights that also serve as a momento as to how small your child once was!
Easy Snowflake Decoration
Give your child a blue sheet of construction paper.
Draw a vertical line in glue down the center of the paper.
Have your child attach cotton balls to the glue. Then repeat with a horizontal line.
Finally, create several small glue lines in between the vertical and horizontal lines, but make these smaller. When your child is done, he will have a soft, fuzzy snowflake picture that can be used to decorate your home.
Children love to be creative. You can't go wrong with these easy, child-friendly crafts that use items you likely have around the house already.

It is time for the next installment of our "Expected Dividend Increases" monthly series. Each month, we predict the companies that are expected to announce a dividend increase in the coming month. Let's review the expected dividend increases in November 2019!
Tag Archives: ROK
Lanny's November Dividend Income
We are now entering December! Gearing up after this one for the FINAL dividend posting and last month + to reach your annual goals. Extremely excited for things coming down the pipeline and dividend income will be looking solid going into December. Now… to the numbers!
Notable Dividend Increases during November
It has been some wild ride this month – no doubt. Companies have begun/continued to release their ever so exciting dividend increases and I'm here smiling to receive them, that's for sure. Some have increased them at a not so high level, some right on where you'd expect and others have had surprisingly nice dividend increases. I'm sadly going to be very conceited and focus on the dividend stocks in my portfolio that have made announcements mid-way through November. I primarily will be focused on the companies, years they have increased, the impact to the portfolio and essentially, bringing it all together to show why we are dividend investors. Okay, enough of this Italian typing away, let's get to the article.
Dividend Diplomats Weekly Purchases – 1/5/15
This week started out with a lot of excitement, at least for any dividend investors looking to initiate a long-term position. Right out of the gate, the market began to slide and reached its lowest point by mid-day Tuesday. Luckily, for both Lanny and me, we were able to catch the market at its lowest point and purchase some new/additional shares for our portfolio.
Stock Purchase 12/30 – ROK
The Lord knows I couldn't stay behind the scenes or on the sidelines for this long, as it has been quite some time since I made a full on stock purchase. I was itching for an action and I knew the end of the year was coming and wanted to go out with a "bang". I woke up on December 30th, after having analyzed the stock market the day before and knew what I was after and it was in a different industry that I have not truly been exposed to before. Enough with the opening, let's dive into my recent stock purchase and find out what, why and how much!

The Federal Reserve found itself on the wrong end of legal action in September, facing accusations of limiting competition in order to serve the interests of big banks at the expense of their customers.
The serious accusations were made in a lawsuit filed by a former Fed official. His lawsuit accuses Jerome H. Powell - the Fed chairman - of squashing his idea to create a new bank -TNB USA- that would not make loans; instead, "it would put all of its customer deposits into an account at the New York Fed (Source: "Federal Reserve Is Sued, Accused of Limiting Competition", The New York Times).
According to James McAndrews, the plaintiff in the case, he was given the impression his bank's application would be approved only to be denied shortly afterward "at the specific direction of the Board's Chairman" (Mr. Powell).
Was this decision made in order to limit competition, as alleged in the lawsuit? The Fed has not made any statements other than to confirm that they are aware of the lawsuit. Meanwhile, critics of the McAndrew's proposal for the new bank could cause instability by drawing customers away from banks with a broader portfolio of services, particularly customers looking for a safe place to park their deposits.
This is an important case to keep an eye on, as its implications for investors and financial institutions could be far reaching.

The gradual warming of the Upper Midwest could cut the duck population in half as early as 2050, according to a new study published in the journal BioScience.
The study looked at how climate change could affect the Upper Midwest, where North America's best duck breeding grounds are, over the next 50 to 100 years.
The study's predictions left Duluth conservationist Dave Zentner dumbfounded. Zentner coordinated a rally for ducks, wetlands and clean water in April that drew an estimated 4,000 people to the state Capitol.
He said wetland losses should concern hunters and anyone else who cares about trumpeter swans, gulls, terns, bitterns, night herons and other wildlife that depend on wetlands. I would hope that duck hunters would take this seriously and realize that this is not far-fetched theory, he said.
"This is a real threat and the country needs to develop policies for it."

On Thursday, August 10, at the Casselberry Library, Gloria Rand, an award-winning SEO blogger, a certified high-performance speaker, the owner of Web to Wealth Marketing and an internationally known leading expert in internet marketing, spoke on "How to Write Content that Converts!"
She asked if we were wondering, "Why no subscribers?" Gloria told us to follow the golden rule of blogging, which is "they ask, you answer," which means provide value for your readers, by giving them what they want. That type of content should encourage your reader to take action and subscribe.
Gloria suggested we ask questions and take polls to find our readers specific pain points. Write specific content and think of specific people when writing the content including things such as practical steps to solve a problem. She suggested that we speak our reader's language and utilize their jargon.
Our titles we choose are important and should get our readers to take action by clicking on it to read more. She explained that the average was 2 out of 10 readers will click on your titles to read more. Gloria said keywords and terms in the titles need to speak to your readers and that odd numbers in your titles get more clicks, such as, "5 Ways to Solve Your Problem". Using power words or emotional words help even more, such as "5 Easy Ways to Solve Your Problem". Adding time and urgency to your titles are even better, such as "5 Easy Ways to Solve Your Problem this Year!"

Gloria explained that the new trend for blogging is a longer article of 1,000 to 2,500 words. She has seen repeated studies that the search engines prefer longer content for search engine indexing. If possible, consistently write on your blog every two weeks and no less than once a month to gain followers.
If you don't have time to type then record a video, upload it to YouTube, and YouTube will transcribe your video and you can repurpose it into your blog, adding the video as well.
She explained that we need to test everything, checking Google analytics to see the blog's performance. Gloria explained that consistency in blog content creation is important.
For those who could not attend, we missed seeing you. Hope to see you at our next month's MeetUp.

I shall talk about Marianna Katsoulidi's work in simple words that may yet touch upon a tiny edge of what she is aspiring to. Her work – images of a mature artist, a mistress indeed of the brush and palette – balancing on the verge of her excellent influences takes unexpected turns and leads the spectator – us – to untamed plains of the mind, or even slightly familiar ones, like pale memories of childhood afternoon play – but not quite.
While her vibrant colours rush into the channel of our optic nerve to peak in an explosion of bliss amidst our mind, our thinking stumbles upon a small detail that seems to prevent us from wholly surrendering to a euphoric whirl of colour. The unexpected of her forms, pulls lightly, but persistently, at our sleeve and dares us to feel what is known anew. We have seen these forms before; they have at sometime slipped quietly in the horizon of our imagination… In our dreams perhaps, maybe when we used to create images listening to "stories for little children"; maybe when our boss asked for more unpaid overtime.
No matter how strong the first impression before one of Marianna's works, the daze does not suffice to let us stop there. Her work does not imitate the effect of a relaxant or stimulant for weary brains, nor the comfort and safety of a pleasant memory. On the contrary, it pictures accurately the magnificence and exquisite form any process can take when channelled away from the method of "the least possible effort". It resembles Japanese Origami, the art of folding paper. Similarly, Marianna's archetypal motives bend and fold to create unique and fresh compositions.
Marianna has achieved, through her work, to show us how reality can ascend to a world of fairy tale, of sparkling colour, of the high and the beautiful, without us altering its one dot. Take a deep breath, open your eyes, and dive without second thought into the world of her work – our world – where princes fall – but at least try to get back on their feet – angels have the face of our best friend, and our fears are no more than puppets of our mind, small, colourful things we move, like Russian toys.
And if much is left unsaid, it is because words will not do to speak with such clarity and rich synchronicity of as much as pours forth in the blink of an eye from one of Marianna Katsoulidi's paintings.

With heart disease accounting for about one in four deaths every year in the United States, protecting your heart health is one of the best ways of improving your chances for a long, happy life. The medical caregivers at Livonia Premier Aesthetics in Livonia, Michigan, take your heart as seriously as you do. They will assess your current condition and work with you to develop a lifestyle and treatment plan to keep you on track. Call the office, or request an appointment online today.
An umbrella term covering any condition that affects your heart, heart disease includes things such as coronary artery disease, rhythm issues, and heart defects, as well as other ailments. The symptoms of heart disease depend on which particular condition you have, though many of the symptoms are common, given the major role the heart plays in your overall body function.
Arrhythmias are changes to the normal pattern of heartbeats and can include irregular rhythms, speeding or slowing of the heart rate without a logical reason, such as running or resting. Symptoms can include:
Atherosclerosis symptoms may be different between men and women, which is one reason it's sometimes misdiagnosed for women. Men tend to experience chest pains more often, while women often have other symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Atherosclerosis affects the blood vessels around your heart, and other symptoms can include:
Congenital heart defects may be discovered at birth or may remain hidden until later in life. Symptoms of these can include:
Most of these symptoms are shared by other heart disease conditions, such as heart infections, valve diseases, and weakened heart muscles. Seek emergency medical care any time you're feeling unusual shortness of breath, chest pains, or fainting, and follow up with your physician at Livonia Premier Aesthetics.
Treatments depend on the type of heart disease you have. Lifestyle changes are common, including low-sodium, low-fat diet, moderate exercise, limiting alcohol use, and stopping smoking and other tobacco products. Medications may also help some heart conditions, such as nitroglycerine pills for angina.
If your heart disease should advance sufficiently, other procedures including surgery may be necessary. Monitoring and managing your heart condition with your Livonia Premier Aesthetics physician is a prudent choice. Contact our office today.

Sex, drugs and rock and roll-it's a stalwart trinity. And we don't seem to have tired yet of watching two boys swapping spit on stage, either. From The Rocky Horror Show (1973) to Hedwig and the Angry Inch (1998), there is a growing body of theatre that figures sexual transgressions right in there with the "rebellious" core of America.
Enter Rent (1996)-a New York musical about sex, drugs, rock and roll, and HIV-positive drag queens.
For its third run in Vancouver (Sep 7-11), Rent brought out the cult-like "Rent-heads" and the city's glitterati in even measure. That mixture of patrons-ranging from green-haired queerlings to a bourgeoisie hoping to be shocked by deviant behavior-is emblematic of the musical's confused standing in modern theatre.
Vancouver's first two glimpses of the scarf-ensconced bohemians of Rent took place in the intimate Vogue theatre and the Queen Elizabeth. This time around, it came to the Centre-where all good musicals go to die.
On opening night, the youthful cast (some of them fresh out of their theatre-school eggs) seemed to have difficulty managing their Gap-greeter headset mikes. Audio difficulties (including the band's mistaken impression that lyrics are best served drowned) were compensated, however, by the genuine love affair these fresh talents had with the material. The words and music of writer Jonathan Larson have become gospel for some.
Larson's life-work culminated on stage, in the form of Rent. Cribbed from Puccini's 1896 opera La Bohème, his masterpiece turns the tuberculosis of 19th century Paris into the AIDS of 1990s America. The action relocates to New York's East Village where three pairs of ragtag Gen-X lovers are squatting in a blacked-out apartment and struggle to pay wait for it the Rent.
(La Bohème itself, if you want to get down to who stole whose idea, was a rip-off of an 1846 book by Henri Murger called "Scenes de la vie bohème".)
After its storming of Broadway, Larson's riff on the 150-year-old story went on to win the Pulitzer Prize for best American drama and no less than four Tony Awards in 1996. But Larson died of AIDS a month before the show opened; he never knew what became of his baby.
AIDS is also the key to this musical's success-the threat of untimely death demands that these characters "figure in love" their last year on Earth, which propels its universal themes of love, hope, and forgiveness. John Finlay once wrote in this paper that "AIDS saved my life." And doesn't emergency charge us? Jonathan Larson thought so-so much so that in his final days he continued to work on a musical that implores us to seize the day, to live so joyfully we might surpass the meanest of circumstances.
Eight years later, singer Tallia Brinson plugs one ear and struggles to hear me on a cell phone outside her grocery store in Atlanta. I ask her about her character, Mimi. Mimi is the heroine of Rent, an SM dancer at the local club who struggles with AIDS. It's curious that the musical (despite being so very gay) is so emotionally focussed on a straight woman and not a gay man. But Brinson's explanation is adroit: "Not everyone who has AIDS is gay, of course-I think that's possibly what Jonathan was commenting on. He was telling people it was everyone's disease. Not just Africa's, not just homosexuals'. Everyone's."
A connection with Al Larson, the writer's father, allows Brinson to speak with some authority on these intentions. Of Larson senior, Brinson notes, "He's such a sweetheart. Every cast, he calls his children. He gave a dinner in the East Village for all of us. And he spoke about Jonathan's commitment to his work. We see that part of Jonathan through his father. It's very touching."
Even more touching was the sight of Brinson's aquamarine spandex pants as she waved her onstage tush beneath a prospective lover's nose and wondered aloud, "They say I have the best ass below 14th Street. Is it true?" And it is, I'd wager. In the face of AIDS, poverty, and the everyday grunge of anxiety-ridden New York bohemia, this musical insists on sexy, life-affirming exuberance like that. Insists that the party goes on. That there is "No day but today" as one song has it.
That kind of dogged chutzpah is the finest emotional product US writers like Larson offer. "The powerful play goes on," wrote Whitman, the original gay poet of the US, "and you may contribute a verse."

About United Kingdom
United Kingdom is the island country located off the north-western coast of mainland Europe. The United Kingdom comprises the whole of the island of Great Britain—which contains England, Wales, and Scotland—as well as the northern portion of the island of Ireland. The name Britain is sometimes used to refer to the United Kingdom as a whole. The capital is London, which is among the world's leading commercial, financial, and cultural centres.
The United Kingdom has made significant contributions to the world economy, especially in technology and industry. Since World War II, however, the United Kingdom's most prominent exports have been cultural, including literature, theatre, film, television, and popular music that draw on all parts of the country. Perhaps Britain's greatest export has been the English language, now spoken in every corner of the world, as one of the leading international mediums of cultural and economic exchange.
Britain being an island country sports a temperate maritime climate. The surrounding sea gives England a varied as well as unpredictable climate. In general, the summers are warm (not much higher than 32ºC) and winters are cool (not much lower than 0ºC), however both milder than those on the continent. Rain is fairly well distributed throughout the year, with late winter/spring (February to March) the driest period and autumn/winter (October to January) the wettest.
The UK is a diverse, multicultural society, home to a large Indian Diaspora. Through close historical and family ties, the UK offers Indian students a range of home comforts such as temples for all faiths in major cities, access to familiar foods; as well as cricket and Premier League football.
The UK and India share a common palate as well with dishes like Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, Rogan Josh, Malai Kofta, Chole. Palak Paneer and Chaat available throughout the country. Indian cuisine is amongst the most popular in England, with more Indian restaurants than fast food establishments in England and Wales.
Education in the UK
Studying in the UK is a truly international experience, attracting the largest numbers of overseas students after the US. A recent research done by the British Council revealed that one in ten current world leaders have studied in the UK. Notable alumni from UK universities include the former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, and Hassan Rouhani, the Iranian president. 38% of Nobel Laureates who have studied at universities abroad, studied in the UK – more than any other country. The UK is a destination for not only studies, but all-rounded development and professional growth.
British education is a quality-mark and a passport to global success. The UK is home to some of the oldest and most respected universities in the world. The UK hosts four of the world's top ten universities - Cambridge, UCL, Imperial College London and Oxford- and is home to 30 of the world's top 200 universities according to QS World Rankings 2016-17. Oxford has been ranked the best university in the world by Times Higher Education World University rankings.
The UK has a global reputation for excellence in education and skills and offers excellent value for money. British degree courses are more intense than in many other countries, with students receiving high quality education in a comparatively shorter period. HSBC study finds that among the most common study destinations like US, Australia, Singapore and UK, UK is the least expensive, with an average fee of $35,045 a year for an undergraduate course. It is also the second most desired destination for higher education. According to the Universities UK report- 13% of international HE students prefer UK and 92% of postgraduate students in the UK rate the quality of teaching positively.
Education in UK is one of the best investments for a student's future, be it for employment prospects in their home country or an international destination. UK-educated international graduates achieve markedly higher average salaries in their home country. The students returning to India achieve an average starting salary of £13,214 as opposed to £4,394, as per The 'Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey' 2011. A recent QS global survey of 27,000 graduate employers showed that UK degrees are highly valued by employers worldwide. Graduates from Oxford and Cambridge were rated as the most employable in the world, while LSE, Imperial College London and the University of Manchester all made it in the list of top ten institutions.
Job & Career Opportunities in the UK
Besides, the UK continues to offer excellent opportunities for international graduates wishing to work in the UK after their studies.
Government Support to Foreign Students
The UK also facilitates study in UK though various scholarship schemes for Indian students. Chevening is British Government's flagship global scholarship programme, initiated in 1983, offered in over 140 countries with approximately 1800 awards on offer annually. It is funded by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office and partner organisations. There are over 46,000 Chevening alumni in the world and over 2,300 in India. The Chevening India programme is the world's largest with a £2.6 million budget to fund about 110 fully funded scholarships and fellowships for future Indian leaders.
Science Minister Jo Johnson announced a number of new UK-India Newton-Bhabha Fund programmes at the Education, Science and Innovation Futures event of the India-UK Tech summit, attended by world-leading scientists and senior research policy leaders. The new programmes take the total joint UK-India investment in research through the Newton-Bhabha Fund up to £200 million by 2021. The Newton-Bhabha fund is a major India-UK partnership which brings together the world class excellence of the UK and India to address global challenges through science and technology.
International students are greatly valued by the UK. It is recognised that they make an important contribution during their time here, and they help make the education system one of the best in the world. We are committed to ensuring our top universities are a magnet for the best students from around the world. Since 2010, there has been a 47% rise in international students applying to come to our elite Russell Group universities. Last year we issued over 11,600Tier 4 visas, a 9% increase on the previous year.
There has been a steady increase in the number of study visas granted every year. The proportion of Indian students coming to study in the UK at a university has increased from around 50% in 2010 to around 90% in 2015. This trend of smaller volumes of students with greater concentrations in higher education is likely to reflect the recent policy changes to clamp down on immigration abuse by non-genuine students and bogus colleges.
Requirements to Study in the UK
The student visa process is straightforward for genuine students. In 2016, 91% of student entry clearance visa applications from India were approved, and 99% are approved within 15 days. Students simply need to show that they have a place to study at an education institution on our sponsorship list; have the funds to support themselves; and have the level of English language skills required to follow their course.
For students whose first language is not English, it is vital that their standard of English across all four parameters- reading, writing, speaking and listening, is adequate for successful completion of their course. Universities state their minimum English language entrance requirement in a variety of different tests – IELTS, TOEFL, PTE Academic or Cambridge English: Advanced (also known as the Certificate in Advanced English/CAE, or Cambridge ESOL).
IELTS, International English Language Testing System, is the most recognised and accepted test for English language around the world. The test takes just under three hours with four parts: reading, writing, listening and speaking. Applicants receive a score between 1 and 9, with the latter being the highest. British Council also provides free online certificate courses to help students perfect their English and understand how to get better score in IELTS.
Most universities specify their tests and scores in language and skill, as per the requirement of the course. The test is not only limited to UK, but can help students to study or migrate to other English speaking countries in the world.
To make the information easily accessible to the students aspiring to study in the UK, British Council organises a series of Study UK exhibitions, Pre departure briefings and Study UK information sessions across various cities in India. Through these sessions and activities, the prospective students and their parents can get all the information on the education system in the UK, how to apply for colleges and the steps to be taken after receiving an offer (Conditional/unconditional) from the UK institutions. More information can be accessed at - https://www.britishcouncil.in/study-uk

Transition to Independence Process (TIP) Model
Pre-Implementation Materials
There are pre-implementation materials to measure organizational or provider readiness for Transition to Independence Process (TIP) Model as listed below:
Agency and collaborative leadership who are considering implementing the TIP Model need to address, up front, many critical factors that will have a significant impact on the eventual success or failure of implementing the TIP Model. To help assess an agency's and/or the collaborative's readiness to implement the program, TIP Model Consultants utilize various planning and readiness tools. One tool is the Hexagon Tool for Assessing Readiness/Progress (adapted from the National Implementation Research Network [NIRN]). The Hexagon Tool assists providers, agency managers, and other relevant stakeholders in assessing an agency's or collaborative's capacity, need, resources, and "fit" in relation to the TIP Model and provides a framework for discussions and planning for implementation considerations.
Other tools include:
- Site Readiness for TIP Model Implementation
- TIP Implementation Site-Assessment Organizational Action Planning
- TIP Model Implementation Planning for Next Steps
Formal Support for Implementation
There is formal support available for implementation of Transition to Independence Process (TIP) Model as listed below:
The TIP Model Consultants collaborate with an agency or a community coalition of agencies to maximize implementation and sustainability.
- The Consultants provide competency-based training through TIP Model Cross-Site Forums and technical assistance to agencies in communities, counties, and regions. The Transition Facilitators (TFs), other frontline team personnel, and the supervisors at transition sites are taught and coached in the application of the TIP Model Guidelines and Core Practices (e.g., In-vivo Teaching, SODAS Problem Solving, Prevention Planning on High Risk Behaviors & Situations).
- The TIP Model Consultants and Assessors also assist sites with sustainability through technical assistance and mentoring on processes and building site capacity on topics such as:
- Establishing peer support and peer leadership
- Conducting TIP Solutions Review sessions for ongoing competency enhancement of all transition personnel
- Mentoring supervisory personnel in coaching methods for working more effectively with their transition team
- Providing technical assistance on tracking of progress and outcome indicators for youth and young adults (e.g., TAPIS Progress Tracker & Goal Achiever)
- Establishing TIP Model Site-Based Trainers through mentoring and certification
- Conducting TIP Model Fidelity Quality Improvement Assessments and building site capacity through mentoring and certifying Regional Fidelity QI Assessors
- Accreditation of sites based on meeting TIP Model fidelity standards
The following chapter describes the implementation process, using a region in Canada as a site example.
Clark, H. B, Jaouich, A., Baker, K. (2015). The Transition to Independence Process: Implementation of the TIP Model for improving the outcomes of youth and young adults with emotional/behavioral difficulties. In B.G. Cook, M. Tankersley, & T.J. Landrum (Eds.), Transition of youth and young adults: Advances in learning and behavioural disabilities (Vol. 28. pp. 135-171). Bingley, UK: Emerald Group Publishing Limited.
Fidelity Measures
There are fidelity measures for Transition to Independence Process (TIP) Model as listed below:
The TIP Model Fidelity QI Assessment is used for: a) providing ongoing quality improvement to a Transition Team; b) tracking TIP Model implementation and sustainability; and c) providing the basis for being accredited as a TIP Model Site. A complete Fidelity QI Assessment typically takes 2 days with a Transition Team and is composed of the following four Tools.
- Fidelity QI Probes on TIP Model Practice Implementation – The purpose of the Fidelity QI Practice Probes are to understand the extent to which the TFs are: a) knowledgeable of the young people they are serving; b) applying the principles and practices of the TIP Model; and c) documenting their practice activities in ways that illustrate its relevance to working effectively with the young people and making it likely that the service episodes are billable.
- Fidelity QI Young Person Focus Group -- The purpose of this Focus Group with young people is to assess the extent to which: a) the TIP Model Guidelines and Core Practices are reaching the young people being served in this Transition Program; and b) the young people find the transition system to be helpful, relevant, and impactful in their lives and futures. The Focus Group typically involves four to six youth and young adults.
- Fidelity QI Survey on TIP Model Organizational Implementation – The Fidelity QI Organizational Survey/Interview examines the extent to which TIP Model organizational features are present in the transition system and the organizational and community structure around it. This Tool provides implementation ratings across categories such as accessibility of services, continuity of services and supports, staff management/supervision, and commitment and sustainability.
- Fidelity QI TIP Solutions Review (TSR) Online Survey -- The TIP Solutions Review (TSR) process is to provide the opportunity of a Transition Team to collaboratively problem-solve ways to improve its Team's effectiveness in working with young people, their natural supports, and other formal key players. The TIP Model fidelity requires that the entire Transition Team review at least two young people in-depth each month using the YP Descriptive Outline form. Fidelity to this process is assessed by the TSR Survey, which is an on-line SurveyMonkey to assess the extent to which the Transition Team is: a) applying the TSR process; and b) the Team Members are benefiting from it for improving their work with their young people.
TIP Model Assessors also work with sites to assist the leadership so that they are utilizing other relevant qualitative and quantitative data as part of their continuing quality improvement effort. For example:
- Service/support utilization data that illustrate the application of supports and services to facilitate a young person's progress across relevant Transition Domains.
- Survey on the "helpfulness of supports & services" from the perspective of young people. (Satisfaction surveys can also be conducted from parents' perspectives or the perspectives of other supportive key players in the lives of the young people).
- Progress on the young person's own goals (e.g., TIP Model Futures Planning; aka TAPIS Goal Achiever in an electronic version).
- Tracking of progress and outcomes across the Transition Domains (e.g., TAPIS Progress Tracker).
Some sites are interested in establishing capacity for ongoing TIP Model quality improvement. A process has been developed by which a Certified TIP Model Fidelity QI Assessor can conduct a Fidelity QI Assessment on a Transition Team and concurrently mentor up to two Assessor Candidates from the region to learn this assessment process. It typically requires two or three pairing with a Candidate for him/her to be signed off where he/she can then apply to the TIP Model Board for certification.
Implementation Guides or Manuals
There are implementation guides or manuals for Transition to Independence Process (TIP) Model as listed below:
The faculty and Consultants of the Stars Training Academy and NNYT have created numerous implementation materials and guides. Listed below are a few of the implementation guides that our Consultants use with sites as relevant to their needs and progression with implementation and sustainability:
- Supervisory Methods for Personnel Coaching
- Supervisory Field-Based Coaching Form
- TIP Solutions Review Monitoring and Mentoring Checklist
Research on How to Implement the Program
Research has been conducted on how to implement Transition to Independence Process (TIP) Model as listed below:
Dresser, K., Clark, H. B., & Deschênes, N. (2015). Implementation of a positive development, evidence-supported practice for emerging adults with serious mental health conditions: The Transition to Independence Process (TIP) Model. The Journal of Behavioral Health Services & Research, 42(2), 223-237. doi:10.1007/s11414-014-9438-3

He has dived deep into a world which is way beyond a normal human eye—to the extent of receiving accolades at the Atlantic International Photographic Exhibition (USA) and Hoylake International Digital Exhibition (UK)—in between his duties as a financial manager for a corporate establishment.
"The fascination for minute details got me into macro photography. Spotting some activity in the small world really tests your patience, but once I started my journey, sifting through the tiny elements in nature, my observation levels gradually increased," says Biju, who believes in gathering as much detailing within the camera than engaging in post-production tricks.
According to this award-winning artiste, the defining moment in his life-behind-the-lens has been meeting his mentor Mohammed Arfan Asif.
Since then a part of the Shutter Bugs Creative Forum (SBCF)—which is a group of professional lensmen—the forty-five-year-old regularly visits countrysides in the UAE to shoot insects like the Robber Fly.
Larger perspectives
It's not just miniature elements that brought him distinction as a Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society, one of the oldest such collectives in the world.
Being a nature enthusiast, his explorations stretch into capturing the terrain and even wildlife. "Landscape itself has so many definitions and it's up to the shooter to interpret it in his style," says the 45-year-old lensman, who hails from the forest-bordering areas of Konni in Pathanamthitta.
His favourite haunt for landscape photographs has been in the Ladakh region which offers a lot of possibilities for frames without an evident presence of humans.
Biju's getaway to the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya two years ago also got him featured in National Geographic.
"I saw a live kill of the Cheetah and got a lot of insights into the natural hood of big cats," he informs. The next destination on his mind is the colourful world of the Amazon rainforest which is a haven for insect enthusiasts like himself.

Some days nothing seems to go the way it should. Some days are just not right. Sometimes the only answer is chocolate. Sometimes the more chocolate a girl can eat, the better things go; the more things become right. So here's my favorite recipe for a Chocolate Marshmallow Cookie with Ganache and I hope it makes you feel better... Oh yes, and be sure and eat them, I mean "it" off one of your most decadent plates. They taste better that way.
Start from the end, and mix your glaze first. To do that, lightly melt (just soften really) 1/2 c. butter or margarine, and then add 1/2 c. cocoa powder, 1 1/2 c. confectioner's sugar and 3 Tbsp. water in a mixing bowl. I use a wire wisk and whip the mixture thoroughly by hand. It should be very smooth and dark and wonderful... set it aside (don't eat it).
Next, pre-heat oven to 350* and in one bowl, mix all of the dry ingredients. Sift together 1 3/4 c. flour, 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1/2 tsp. salt. Add 1/2 c. cocoa powder. Set aside.
Now in a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 c. shortening, 1 c. granulated sugar, 1 egg, and 1/2 c. milk. Add 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Slowly add the dry mixture to the creamed and stir together until the dough begins to form. This dough is very soft and smooth when ready. Don't over beat it (do this only by hand) or it will become tough. If you want nuts in the batter, this would be the time to add them. 1/2 c. nuts of your choice, optional.
Drop the dough by scoops (I use a small ice cream scoop, but you could use really heaping tablespoons) onto a greased cookie sheet, and bake for 5 minutes. (I put approx. 9 cookies per sheet, as they don't spread much). When cookies have baked 5 minutes, pull them out of the oven and top each with 1/2 of a large marshmallow (either the traditional vanilla or any flavored marshmallow is good too) and return to oven for approx. 4 more minutes or until the marshmallows are just beginning to melt. Remove from oven and allow cookies to rest for approx. 5 mins. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cover each marshmallow atop the cookie with a large tablespoon of ganache glaze. Allow to cool and set. If you don't, you'll burn your tongue really bad on the hot marshmallow, I hear... I personally have more self-control than to eat an entire batch of blazing hot cookies... so, if you can't keep it together, and you burn yourself don't call me.
This recipe makes 20 small ice cream scoop sized cookies (or, it takes about 7 1/2 minutes to eat them all after they've cooled just slightly...) On the thirteenth day there was chocolate... and it was good.

I could not reply to this excellent article. Stupid Nook is old and collapsed on the io9 page. No clue why. Anyways wouldn't Etta Candy be still alive? This Etta is obviously a homage to the original Etta except original Etta was a college student but looks similar.
In the DC comics at least a few years ago WW2 Etta was living on Wonder Woman's Island as a guest of the Amazons. So wouldn't the same hold true for this Etta? She could have been living for decades on the Island staying young and visiting with Wonder Woman when needed.
So if I was making the next movie Etta would be alive and well. Maybe visiting her great granddaughter named Etta Candy or just having Etta come to help. . I assume in the comics each Etta is the daughter of the previous Etta.

Revenue, which appears on the top line of income statement, is one of the most important measures of a company's health to preparers, auditors, and users of financial statement.
What is revenue recognized?
Revenue Accounting is the process by which revenue is recorded in the books of accounts arising out of each transaction.
The process of Revenue Accounting has two different aspects as given below
a) Revenue Recognition: This refers to the timing of booking revenue entries for sale transactions. It is not always true that revenue has to be accounted when an Invoice is raised.
In case of contracts which entail services spanning more than a year, it is quiet possible that an Invoice is raised at the beginning or at the end though service will be delivered regularly through out the service contract period. In which case revenue has to be recognized only when the service obligation is delivered and not when the Invoice is raised. The required conditions as to when a revenue has to be accounted has been explained in detail, later in this document.
b) Determination of Revenue Accounts: This aspect is about determination of account code combinations to which revenue is to be posted.
Principle -> When is revenue recognized?
The revenue recognition principle is a cornerstone of accrual accounting together with matching principle
The general principles of revenue recognition are:
- the revenue can be measured reliably on account of sale of goods & services;
- it is probable that the economic benefits of the transaction will flow to the entity (collectability);
- the costs (both incurred to date and expected future costs) are identified and can be measured reliably
If any of the above criteria is missing, then the revenue recognition will have to be deferred until the conditions are met. For example, if a customer's credit worthiness is in doubt, then the revenue recognition should be deferred until the receipt in full or partial, of the balance due.
Whereas in cash accounting – in contrast – revenues are recognised when cash is received no matter when goods or services are sold.
When deferred needed
Those who are new to accounting exposure , can understand deferred means delay recognizing certain revenues or expenses on the income statement until a later, more appropriate time.
Revenues are deferred to a balance sheet liability account until they are earned in a later period. When the revenues are earned they will be moved from the balance sheet account to revenues on the income statement.
As per the primary revenue standards and revenue related interpretations that capture all revenue transactions, transactions generating revenue can be typically categorized in to four broad categories as below:
- Sale of goods [Revenues from selling inventory are recognised at the date of sale often interpreted as the date of delivery]
- Rendering of services [Revenues from rendering services are recognised, when services are completed and billed ]
- Others' use of an entity's assets [Revenue from permission to use company's assets (like interests for using money, rent for using fixed assets and royalties for using intangible assets) is recognised as time passes or as assets are used ]
- Construction contracts
Accounting and Invoicing Rules
- Accounting Rules: Accounting rules are defined to create revenue recognition schedule for the invoices that are imported into Oracle Receivables through AutoInvoice from various sources like Service Contracts. Accounting rules determine the number of accounting periods and the percentage of revenue that should be recognized in each accounting period. Revenue Recognition program is then run to create revenue distribution for the periods in which the rules fall. For deferred accounting rules, the revenue recognition cerates the distribution records for an unearned revenue account. The accounting rule determines when revenue is recognized for service performed. The accounting rule is defaulted in the billing schedule.
- Invoicing Rules: An invoicing rule can be selected at the contract header, this determines when the receivable for Invoices are recognized. The invoicing rule is defaulted in the billing schedule. There are 2 types of invoicing rules:
- Advance: Use this rule to recognize your receivable immediately.
- Arrears: Use this rule to recognize the receivable at the end of the revenue recognition schedule.

If your child is headed back to school in a few months' time, you have to begin shopping and planning for the school year.
Whether your child attends public or private school, making sure they have everything they need is an important role of a parent. Close to the top of your list may be your child's nutrition.
In other climes, many students have access to free and reduced price meals that will help with the family budget and ensure that the child's nutritional needs are being met.
But if you do not have access to these programmes or If you have been denied on an application, don't give up. You may submit an application at any time during the school year as your situation may change. For example, if you become unemployed, your child may qualify.

However, if you will be providing lunch for your child, it may help to make some changes now that will help you survive the busy school year ahead. The following tips can help you get started.
Create a spending plan
Determine your household income. Track your monthly expenses. Discuss your goals, needs and wants, then write out a list of expenses that you know you pay every month (like a housing payment) and expenses that you have estimated based on your tracking.
Don't forget to include the cost of school lunches. Then subtract what you plan to spend from your estimated monthly income. If you get a negative amount, you need to make some adjustments.
Plan your meals
One of the adjustments you can make to your monthly spending plan is saving money on food by preparing your meals. If you find that you are eating out too much, try making a meal plan of simple recipes for the week, then make a shopping list and head to the store. Try not to buy on impulse, if you are able, stick to the list.
Stay away from prepackaged meals
Another adjustment to your spending plan can be made if you discover that you are buying a lot of prepackaged, unhealthy foods for your child's lunches.
This may be convenient, but you may be paying a higher price for the preparation and a potential health cost by serving less

Ezekiel Elliott's representatives told the Dallas Cowboys the two-time rushing champion won't play in 2019 without a new contract, ESPN reported Tuesday.
However, the report added that the 24-year-old running back's holdout is "not likely" to continue into the regular season, based on owner Jerry Jones' desire to get a deal done before Week 1.
Elliott, the fourth overall selection by the Cowboys in the 2016 NFL Draft, will make $3.85 million in the upcoming season, with an option in 2020 for $9.10 million.
The Ohio State product has started all 40 games he has played in over the past three seasons, rushing for 4,048 yards and 28 touchdowns. He also has 135 catches for 1,199 yards and six more scores.
Elliott, currently working out on his own in Mexico, is reportedly seeking a deal similar to that given to Todd Gurley of the Los Angeles Rams. Gurley is under contract for four years and $57.5 million.

These Mozart Masses (BA 7520-BA 7522) have been arranged for solo voices, chorus and organ from the Urtext of the "New Mozart Edition", thereby making them accessible in all their beauty to choruses and church choirs with limited financial means at their disposal. Martin Focke has based the " concertante " organ parts on the orchestral writing, doing full justice to the timbre of the original. The solo parts and choruses, of course, leave the Urtext of the "New Mozart Edition" entirely untouched.
The name "Credo Mass" is taken from the acclamations of "Credo" that constantly interrupt the like-named movement. Dating from the end of 1776, this Mass is remarkable for its density of invention within the narrowest of confines. Further, its instrumental accompaniment has an almost chamber-music quality that emerges time and again into almost symphonic proportions. Our arrangement successfully patterns the idiosyncrasies of the orchestral writing.
The solo and choral writing leaves the Urtext of the "New Mozart Edition" entirely untouched.
- Self-contained version with organ instead of orchestra
- Straightforward and easy-to-play organ part
- Ideal for church services and concert performances

The Challenge
A Fortune 500 leader in banking and payment technologies needed to streamline the process involved in onboarding new merchant accounts.
This process needed to be improved for both their internal operations team as well as the internal and external sales teams who were submitting the applications.
Having already built a platform for processing residuals for this customer, they asked us to work with them to add on to that platform a portal that would:
- Notify the sales agent and/or team when an update to the merchant application was available.
- Provide the sales agent and/or team with reporting and statuses for each merchant application submitted.
An interesting twist on this project was that all the data for this system would eventually come from a different application workflow system that was being built by another vendor. Unfortunately, that system would not be ready for 3-6 months and our customer needed to provide merchant application updates ASAP. Therefore, the project was broken into two major phases:
- As fast as possible, get the notification and reporting portal up and running so sales agents and teams could login and get updates. In order to get data into this system, a "back-end" would also be created for the ops team to be able to login and manually update application records, set statuses, and leave notes.
- When the other vendor brings the application workflow system online, our system would provide an API that the workflow system would use to update our data. Once that link was established, we would remove the back-end code as the ops team would no longer use our system to update merchant applications.
Sales agents and teams would need to be able to receive updates by email or SMS text messages and would need to be able to choose the frequency of receipt of those messages.

– UK, Oxford – Genomics plc, the data science company specialising in the use of human genetic information to improve drug development, today announced that it has successfully closed an oversubscribed £25 million Series B financing round led by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated. Other participating investors are IP Group plc, Woodford Investment Management Ltd, Invesco Perpetual, Oxford Sciences Innovation (OSI), Lansdowne Partners and Tanarra.
Additionally, Genomics plc today announced a collaboration with Vertex to further advance Vertex's efforts to develop transformative medicines for people with serious diseases.
Genomics plc will use the proceeds of this fundraising to enable further expansion, to continue to enhance its powerful database and to pursue opportunities that emerge in this fast-growing space.
Genomics has developed a unique analysis engine which uses genetics to understand human biology and the likely efficacy and safety of potential novel medicines. The Genomics engine is the largest of its kind in the world, with over 100 billion data points. It links human genetic variation at over 14 million positions in the human genome to changes in 7,000 molecular, cellular, and physiological measurements and disease outcomes. The company uses breakthrough proprietary machine learning and statistical algorithms to predict the impact of therapeutic interventions.
Professor Peter Donnelly FRS, Founder and CEO, Genomics plc, said: "We are delighted to be supported by such a strong cadre of strategic and institutional investors. This fundraising will help us leverage our deep expertise in data science and genetics, our world-leading database of genomic information, and proprietary machine-learning algorithms to help bring greater precision to the discovery of new drugs."
About Genomics plc
Genomics plc is a leading genome analysis company formed in 2014 by four leading scientists at the University of Oxford, including Professors Peter Donnelly (then Director of the Wellcome Centre for Human Genetics) and Gil McVean (Director of Oxford's Big Data Institute). Its vision is to use genomic insights to transform the drug discovery industry by getting better drugs developed more quickly and targeted at the right group of patients.
Every individual carries a unique set of genetic variants. Many of these variants change aspects of our biology. The powerful idea which underpins the company's work is that to understand the consequences of a proposed drug one can look at individuals who happen to carry genetic variants which affect the same part of our biology as the drug. This human genetics approach allows Genomics to learn about human biology, directly, in humans, rather than having to rely on the model systems which lead to 90% of drug targets failing when they are tested in humans.
Genomics plc has developed the largest platform of its kind in the world linking genetic variants to changes in thousands of measurements and disease outcomes, together with breakthrough machine learning algorithms that use this data at scale to learn directly about human biology.
Backed by some of the leading investors in life sciences, Genomics has an expert cross-disciplinary team of over 40 people, primarily scientists and software engineers, with offices in Oxford and Cambridge UK.
