It's time to dress to impress as Catterick Racecourse prepares for Ladies' Day on Wednesday 28 August. Amongst the racing action, there will be fashion competitions, live music and complimentary cocktails!
The gates open at 12.20pm on Wednesday 28 August and racegoers will be keen to arrive early as the first 100 ladies to visit the Yorkshire Dales Distillery stand will be treated to a complimentary Rhubarb Gin or Bramble Berry Gin cocktail on arrival.
The first race gets under starters orders at 2.20pm, while the feature race, the Ernest Norris (1919 – 1992) Memorial Handicap Stakes is scheduled for 3.50pm.
In between races, racegoers can enjoy live music performed by Elena Larkin, a 21-year old singer-songwriter from Hartlepool and the fashion stakes are high as ladies (and gents!) have the chance to take part in fashion competitions during the afternoon and be in with the chance of winning some fabulous prizes!
Firstly, the Best Dressed Lady on the day will win a £500 voucher for a bespoke La Fille Rouge outfit of their choice. Based on a farm near Northallerton, Yvonne at La Fille Rouge makes bespoke and unique clothing, using 100% wool tweed from a Yorkshire based mill. In addition, the Best Dressed Lady will be given the opportunity to represent Catterick at the Go Racing in Yorkshire Grand Final in Doncaster on Saturday 26 October.
Kindly sponsored by the Secret Spa, near Bedale, the lady wearing the Best Hat on the day will receive a couple's spa package worth £130 which includes two and a half hours private use of all the facilities which opened in September 2018.
Finally, there's a new addition to the fashion programme this year as racegoers are invited to enter the Best Dressed Couple competition for a chance to win a voucher for a two-course dinner for two people at The Black Bull Inn, Moulton.
Emma Binnian, Sales & Marketing Manager said: "The style stakes are always high when it comes to Ladies' Day; we're very grateful to our sponsors for offering some wonderful prizes and are looking forward to seeing the fashions this year!"
With the meeting falling in the last week of the school holidays, it's worth noting that there will be free children's entertainment in the Course Enclosure during the afternoon and remember accompanied under 18's race free at all of Catterick's fixtures!
Adult tickets start at just £5 for the Course Enclosure, or £15 for the Grandstand & Paddock Enclosure. Tickets are available to purchase on the day, while advanced booking discounts are available online on www.catterickbridge.co.uk.
There is a free shuttle bus which brings racegoers to the racecourse from Richmond Market Place. The bus leaves approximately one hour before the first race and will return after the last race.

Implementing MapReduce in Erlang is unbelievably trivial. Joe Armstrong, Erlang inventor and main architect, published a sample pmap/2 function, which can be used as a parallel equivalent of standard Erlang lists:map/2:
pmap(F, L) -> S = self(), Pids = lists:map(fun(I) -> spawn(fun() -> do_f(S, F, I) end) end, L), gather(Pids). gather([H|T]) -> receive {H, Ret} -> [Ret|gather(T)] end; gather([]) -> []. do_f(Parent, F, I) -> Parent ! {self(), (catch F(I))}.Joe didn't provide any particular examples of using pmap, so I wrote a test function that makes a sequence of Fibonacci numbers. First, let's start an Erlang shell with -smp flag, that enables it to use many CPUs and many CPU cores:
erl -smpNow define a Fibonacci function:
fib(0) -> 0; fib(1) -> 1; fib(N) when N > 0 -> fib(N-1) + fib(N-2).and generate a test list as a sequence of numbers (for example from 0 to 40):
L = lists:seq(0,40).To make every element of the list L to be processed by fib/1 function we use lists:map/2:
lists:map(fun(X) -> fib(X) end, L).To do a parallel computation we need to use pmap/2 instead of lists:map/2:
pmap(fun(X) -> fib(X) end, L).On my laptop with Core2 Duo T5450 1.66 Ghz running the parallel version of fib/1 function reduced execution time from 53.405534 to 31.354125 seconds (as measured by timer:tc/3). On dual Xeon E5430 2.66 Ghz (8 cores total) the speedup was from 25.635218 seconds to 10.017358. It is less than Joe Armstrong managed to achieve (he probably used more sophisticated test functions and different hardware than a regular PC), but it clearly shows how easy it is to parallelize an Erlang program - just replace every instance of map/2 with pmap/2 and you're done.
I prepared a modified version of pmap/2, which spawns processes not only on local machine, but also on all nodes in a cluster:
pmap(F, L) -> S = self(), Nod = [node()|nodes()], {Pids, _} = lists:mapfoldl( fun(I, {N1, N2}) -> case N1 == [] of true -> N = N2; false -> N = N1 end, [H|T] = N, {spawn(H, fun() -> do_f(S, F, I) end), {T, N2}} end, {Nod, Nod}, L), gather(Pids).Using the modified pmap/2, I got similar results with a cluster of two Erlang shells running on a single Core2 Duo machine as with Joe's function on a single shell started in smp mode. This version of pmap/2 also allows you to rebalance computations by starting as many Erlang shells as there are CPUs (or CPU cores) on multiple machines, and joining them in one cluster.

The Algarve's leading anti-oil and gas campaigning organisation, ASMAA, this morning presented a detailed legal action at the Attorney General's Office requesting an immediate halt to offshore oil and gas drilling in the Alentejo basin and for the immediate cancellation of the Galp-ENI licence for the Santola exploration block off Aljezur.
The organisation's action, a full 126 pages and 500 references, lists and denounces "numerous illegalities in the concession procedures for the exploration, research, development and production of oil and gas, in particular the Santola contract between the Portuguese State and the ENI-GALP consortium."
The final drilling licence for the Use of Private Space (TUPEM No. 015/001/2017) was issued by the Directorate-General for Marine Resources, was granted without an environmental impact assessment and with only 10 days notice.
ASMAA says there are illegalities in the Santola contract, including substantial changes to the contract through illicit additions, tax fraud and gross management of surface rental income, no counterparts for the Portuguese State, gross negligence due to a lack of economic and environmental impact studies and no cost-benefit analysis.
Added to this is the absence of any measures to ensure the protection and security of public domain assets, and the deliberate avoidance of measures to protect the public's constitutional rights - including the right to a clean environment, quality of life and public health.
The association, headed by the dynamic Laurinda Seabra, has asked for the whole exploration and drilling process to be suspended so that the overriding public interest is not irreparably damaged.
This coming Thursday, February 23, ASMAA has organised a demonstration in front of the Portugal's parliament building starting at 1:00 p.m. and ending at 6:00 p.m. MPs will be debating the whole oil and gas business from 2:00pm.
This debate is a result of ASMAA's petition of a year ago to stop the drilling halt off Aljezur which was signed by more than 42,000 signatories and which was ignored in the public consultation process, along with the questions raised by those opposing the development of Portugal's onshore and offshore territories as oil and gas fields.

Three times the 'Feel Good Live' series made us catch feelings
It's been a while since we had a new episode of the YouTube series "Feel Good Live".
JR has invited his rap friends to perform at a few but it's the singers who have really shone. Here are three sets that really had us catching feelings.
Samthing Soweto
As if he needed to prove he was more than just "Akanamali," Samthing Soweto really brought it in this episode. The epitome of restraint, he's a pleasure to watch.
Amanda Black
One of the best things about "Feel Good Live" is the stories that artists get to tell about the memories associated with the songs they perform. From Shekhinah's cover of "Gin and Juice" to Amanda Black explaining the story behind "Kahle," which she co-wrote with Sjava, it's sweet.
JR Episode 2
This artist is not only the master mind behind the stripped down performance which happens to be recorded for our streaming pleasure, he is also the only artist to perform on "Feel Good Live" more than once. The second episode is the best because he takes us through a medley of some of the hits that have benefited from his Midas Touch.

Rich Lowe, Hip Hop artist from Brooklyn, is releasing his newest single Wayo Hitta on 31st August 2018.
The track is a cleverly mastered Hip Hop track that could be compared to the likes of Usher and Chris Brown. Lowe has created a tune that would fit perfectly into the mix of popular tunes that are being played on our radios at the moment.
Alongside the catchy lyrics are synth beats and dark electronic undertones, making it a unique entry into the Hip Hop scene. You cannot listen to this song without mentioning how smooth Lowe's vocals are throughout the single, taking it to new levels of professionalism.
Wayo Hitta comes after Rich Lowe dedicated his life to music since the age of 14. His talent was recognised at an early age whilst studying at Brooklyn High School of Arts. In more recent years he has had the honour of working with the legendary Erick Sermon, writing, singing and producing his own music in Erick Sermon Def Squad studios. In 2013, Rich Lowe was introduced to the world by covering the late legendary Jackie Wilson's Lonely Tear Drops via music video. The music video went viral with over 3 million views.
Rich Lowe talks about how this track came to him almost at an instant, describing it as a jump start feeling. Wayo Hitta will be released on 31st August and he hopes it will set him up as a truly creative artist.

Help for Kids in Middleton
What controls the heart, lungs and every other organ, cell and tissue in the body?
If you guessed the brain, you're right.
But how does the brain tell all those important functions what they need to do, and when to do it? The nervous system is responsible for that vital communication.
From Stressed to Stabilized
This master control system has two modes:
- Sympathetic- in charge of the fight, flight, or freeze response.
- Parasympathetic- in charge of growth and healing.
Stress causes the sympathetic nervous system to take over and puts a child into a state of imbalance.
This can look like:
- Chronic illness
- Clinical emotional/behavioral diagnosis
- Meltdowns
- Sensory sensitivity
At ADIO Chiropractic in Middleton, we offer solutions for ADHD, autism spectrum disorders and chronic illnesses naturally.
Chiropractic care, stimulates a child's parasympathetic nervous system nervous. When it functions optimally, their body will, too.
Contact us today to find out more about enhancing your child's well-being, naturally! We offer complimentary consultations that can be done by phone.

We all know that no matter what size or shape you are, when you look good, you feel even better. That's why we've teamed up with Miladys and put together 10 amazing fashion hacks that will make you feel like a million bucks.
These easy style tweaks and fashion cheats are instant figure flatterers.
Know your body
The first step to choosing clothes that make you feel fabulous is to take a bit of time to find out what your body shape is.
Silhouettes and styles that work for an hourglass figure won't necessarily work if you have bigger hips. And vice versa. All shapes and sizes are beautiful, so this step is not about finding out what you can't wear, but rather figuring out how to celebrate your best features.
Read more: Find out what your body shape is and how to dress to flatter your figure
Get the proportions right
When you're putting an outfit together, always think about proportion. When the top half of your body looks balanced with your lower half, the overall look is ultra flattering. If this sounds complicated, don't worry, how you achieve balance depends on your body shape.
For example, if you're apple shaped, create balance with long lines — think gilets and high rise jeans.
If, on the other hand, you have larger hips and a smaller bust, wear chunky jewellery or detailed tops to draw the eye up towards your small waist and décolletage.
The perfect pair of jeans
Miladys Wonderfit Jeans should definitely be at the top of your figure-flattering, must-buy items. The jeans work in three ways: tummy control through clever stitching in the front pockets; lift and tuck your bum with hidden figure-hugging seams and slimming fabrics; and stretch-for-comfort-design that will suck in every lump and bump.
Putting on a pair of these confidence-boosting jeans is the easiest way we can think of to instantly lose 3cm! And they're available from size 32 to 50, so everyone can get a pair (or 2…).
Read more: How to find the perfect jeans for your shape
Illusion prints
If you love prints and funky colours, fear not, prints are amazing for helping you look slimmer and taller. Opt for patterns that accentuate your best features and trick the eye into focusing on those rather than your 'problem' areas. This printed shift tunic dress from Miladys is great for giving the illusion of a smaller waist using clever elongating prints.
It's all in the details
Clever details can draw the eye to your best features — think statement necklaces if you're pear shaped, detailed tops if you're more rectangle shaped and deep embellished v-necks if you're apple shaped.
This cute batwing top with lace detailing is the perfect example of adding details that add interest to your outfit, and also slim and trim. The v-neck will draw attention to your décolletage, while the empire waist will slim and trim your tummy.
Ruching makes perfect
We love well-placed ruching! It can make you feel so much more confident in your clothes if your tummy is hidden by a few folds of material. Ruching at the waist can hide a tum and give you an hourglass shape, while ruching on top gives you a fuller bust and helps balance a pear-shaped figure.
A classic wrap dress also looks great on just about every body shape. The v-neck flatters your bust, the longer sleeves slim your arms, and the belt at your waist gives you an instant hourglass figure!

Play with length
An A-symmetrical top is instantly flattering. Instead of the hem going straight across your waist (which can make it look bigger) the flattering line of this top tricks the eye into moving in a diagonal line. This will trim your tummy, without having to do a single sit-up!
Buckle up
A belt can be your best fashion friend, but you may have to try a few styles in a few areas on your body to find your perfect match.
Thinner belts are great for a bigger tummy, because they don't draw as much attention to this part of your body. If you have a slim waist, then try a trendy wide metallic belt, it will cinch you in, drawing the eye to your tiny tummy!
Top tip: If you're not sure what kind of belt looks best, take photos of you wearing a few styles, then compare the photos. It's much easier to see what slims and trims in side-by-side photos than in the mirror.
Cap sleeves
No matter how many push-ups we do, we can never seem to get rid of the dreaded bingo wings. But we're not too worried because we know that a few ingenious tops or dresses can cover them up. Try tops and dresses that have a capped or elongated sleeve. This length will instantly trick the eye into thinking your arms are more toned!
Add height
The reason we love heels is simple: heels and wedges instantly tone your legs and make you look taller and slimmer. Throw on a pair of heels with your favourite pair of jeans for an on the spot day-to-night transformation, or pair them with a slimming dress to show off your legs and give you great height, too!

Dev Academy announces 42 new Māori web development scholarships
New Zealand web development school Enspiral Dev Academy is announcing the launch of 42 Māori web development scholarships.
After a successful application to the Ka Hao Māori Digital Technology fund, managed by Te Puni Kōkiri and MBIE, Dev Academy are thrilled to be able to support 42 more Māori students to learn web development in 2018. The scholarships enable Dev Academy to extend its very successful Te Uru Rangi scholarship programme, which was launched by Te Ururoa Flavell in 2015.
The scholarships will be worth $7,000 each. Successful applicants will need to pay the remaining $3,500 to do the 18 week intensive web development course, and Dev Academy can help students talk to iwi, businesses or other organisations to achieve this remaining portion.
Dev Academy is based in Auckland and Wellington, and runs 18 week web development programmes where career movers, university graduates and school leavers are trained with the skills to become junior web developers through intensive full immersion education.
Dev Academy's missions are to improve the lives of all New Zealanders, and to increase diversity in tech, so the demographics of the sector reflect those of the country as a whole. Dev Academy therefore works hard to enable more Māori to enter the tech sector.
Students graduate Dev Academy with the skills to find work as junior web developers, or start their own web based businesses. 86% of Dev Academy students who graduated more than 4 months ago have work in web development. Web development jobs are relatively well paid - average starting salaries sit at around $53,000, and median salaries increase by 60% in the first six years.

North Korea Says Troops Ready For "War"
North Korea put its armed forces on standby for war Monday and threatened retaliation against anyone seeking to stop the regime from launching a satellite into space in the latest barrage of threats from the communist regime.
The warning came as U.S. and South Korean troops kicked off their annual war games across the South, exercises the North has condemned as preparation for an invasion. Pyongyang last week threatened South Korean passenger planes flying near its airspace during the drills.
Analysts say the regime is trying to grab President Obama's attention as his administration formulates its North Korea policy.
The North also indicated it was pushing ahead with plans to fire a communications satellite into space, a provocative launch neighboring governments believe could be a cover for a missile test.
U.S. and Japanese officials have suggested they could shoot down a North Korean missile if necessary, further incensing Pyongyang.
"Shooting our satellite for peaceful purposes will precisely mean a war," the general staff of the North's military said in a statement carried Monday by the official Korean Central News Agency.
Any interception will draw "a just retaliatory strike operation not only against all the interceptor means involved but against the strongholds" of the U.S., Japan and South Korea, it said.
The North ordered military personnel "fully combat ready" for war, KCNA said in a separate dispatch.
South Korea's Defense Ministry spokesman Won Tae-jae downplayed the threats as "rhetoric" but said the country's military was ready to deal with any contingencies.
Analysts say a satellite or missile launch could occur late this month or in early April when the North's new legislature, elected Sunday, is expected to convene its first session to confirm Kim Jong Il as leader.
Ties between the two Koreas have plunged since South Korean President Lee Myung-bak took office a year ago halting aid unless the North fulfills an international promise to dismantle its nuclear program.
An angered North Korea suspended the reconciliation process and key joint projects with Seoul, and has stepped up the stream of belligerence toward the South.
On Monday, North Korea also cut off a military hot line with the South for the duration of the 12-day joint U.S.-South Korean military exercises, leaving the nations without any means of communication at time when even an accidental skirmish could develop into a full-blown battle.
The two Koreas have used the hot line to exchange information about the crossing of goods and people through the industrial North Korean border city of Kaesong. Its suspension halted traffic and stranded about 570 South Koreans working in Kaesong.
About 700 South Koreans who had planned to enter Kaesong on Monday were stranded on the South Korean side, the Unification Ministry said. Seoul urged Pyongyang to restore the line immediately.
The two Koreas technically remain in a state of war since their three-year conflict ended in a cease-fire, not a peace treaty, in 1953. Hundreds of thousands of troops are amassed on each side of the Demilitarized Zone separating the two Koreas, making the Korean border one of the world's most heavily armed.
The United States, which has 28,5000 troops in South Korea, hold military exercises with the South every year. Pyongyang routinely condemns them as rehearsals for invasion despite repeated assurances from Seoul and Washington that the drills are purely defensive.
The exercises, which will involve some 26,000 U.S. troops, an unspecified number of South Korean soldiers and a U.S. aircraft carrier, are "not tied in any way to any political or real world event," Gen. Walter Sharp, commander of the U.S. troops, said Monday.

This article presents findings from developing and testing standard precaution case scenarios to enhance nursing knowledge" Hessels and Weaver (2019).
Standard precautions are a recommended set of actions health care workers should take to prevent health care-associated infections and potentially infectious exposures. However, they are not reliably practiced, many opportunities are missed, and a substantial discrepancy between workers' stated performance and actual performance exists. This article presents findings from developing and testing standard precaution case scenarios to enhance nursing knowledge. Infusion nursing is high risk and entails highly complex care in dynamic settings. Challenges may exist when integrating this advanced care with fundamental standard precaution requirements. For this reason, findings from this study have implications for infusion nursing practice.

It is the desire of every woman to have that flawless looking, acne-free skin. There are several blogs and sites that do offer different types of natural skin care regimen and tips to follow. But first you need to identify your skin type and accordingly select the tips that will work for you. It will also be useful to consult a knowledgeable dermatologist to ensure you are taking the correct steps to avoid unnecessary side effects.
Natural skin care tips to follow
- Remove makeup before going to bed: A must do before going to bed. Like any other areas of the body, the skin is required to breathe. When asleep, makeup prevents your skin from getting that necessary air. Which then tends to clog up the pores, thereby making the skin work harder to breathe. Take a fresh cotton pad and dab on some olive oil and massage the skin gently to remove makeup and dirt. Exfoliating the skin at least once a week is another good idea to eliminate dead skin cells.
- Sleep well: You do require 9 hours of sleep daily. Inadequate sleep will make the skin feel and appear tired. It can become saggy, causing bags around the eyes. Applying honey to the face every week can help soothe and heal skin. Also, moisturize your face before going to sleep.
- Use sunscreen: This is an absolute must when going out. The strong rays of the sun combined with UVA and UVB needs to be avoided. Apply sunscreen always. If exposed, the skin can develop wrinkles. Moreover, prolonged exposure will only cause skin issues and age spots. The sunscreen used should not block the skin pores. Apply sunscreen lotions even when it is cloudy or cold outside.
- Eat well: Good food consisting of fresh, green vegetables and fruits, rich in protein and vitamins should be part of your everyday meals. Diets filled with vitamin C can help the skin to glow. Low sugar diet will be a wonderful idea as it controls insulin levels and helps the body to manage a healthy balance. Avoid citrus fruits, fried, spicy and salty food. Rather choose blander foods such as oatmeal and applesauce.
- Regular exercise: It can help improve blood circulation, boost the body's cleaning process and tighten the skin.
The above natural skin care tips does not cost much and can help the skin to glow and appear younger.

After the news hit us all sideways Monday morning, a former high-school teacher of mine reminded me today that when I was a college student at Frostburg State (cue the newsreel footage of snow streaking the bare, strip-mined mountain and whistling wind) I sent him an enthusiastic letter about this rock singer named David Bowie who I thought was really something. Such unerring instincts and taste I had then. I wonder what happened to them. They seemed to have wandered off, or perhaps submerged beneath the white-noise waves of digital distraction that make it so hard to react to anything new with a pure, fresh take-me-I'm-yours. All that mindfulness we're practicing doesn't seem to be advancing us anywhere. But enough about now. Back to then. My introduction to Bowie would have been in 1971 or 72, which would have meant I had been listening to Hunky Dory or Ziggy Stardust, or both, and that entrancement was totally at odds with who I was then (or, more importantly, thought I was) and where I was. He was opening doors to a future whose threshold few of us knew we were about to cross. I was in a mucho macho phase, besotted with Norman Mailer and Sam Peckinpah (whose Straw Dogs was the only movie I've ever gone to see back-to-back on consecutive nights, so jaw-struck was I), and the music that blasted out of the dorm windows at Frostburg was primarily cock rock of which Led Zeppelin was the foremost thunderer. Bowie on the cover of Hunky Dory striking a dreamy, girlish pose—said to be modeled on Marlene Dietrich, but Dietrich never looked this perfume-misted—wasn't like the drag the Rolling Stones put on for "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?," which belonged to the same tradition of travesty and panto that Monty Python would make the hilarious fishwife most of. Hunky Dory's cover however reeked of Romanticism, it was closer to an invocation of Candy Darling, a correspondence strengthened by Bowie's tribute to Andy Warhol on the album. Bowie, of course, would go on to play Warhol in Basquiat, but, more vitally, as Simon Critchley writes in his remarkable, slim tribute volume to Bowie, he repeatedly mobilized the Warholian aesthetic—this silvery sense of life being a movie with many roles to play until one finds oneself trapped in a mirrored maze. Unless, like Bowie, you eel out of it by putting a new reel on the projector.
Nothing seemed more cinematic on vinyl at the time than The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, this saga of a guitar-driven Peter Pan gone bad, which cinched it for me as a Bowie missionary. Hunky Dory I loved, but it could have just as easily portended a career of cultish idiosyncrasy. Ziggy Stardust was a powering up, a declaration of conquering intent. No album since Sgt. Pepper had had such dramatic buildup and crescendo release, the exultant, messiah cry of "You're not alone!" at the end a clarion call of comfort and inclusion to anyone who felt weird, queer, socially defective, and alone, and believe me back then there was a lot more of that around. I moved to N.Y.C. in October 1972 and the first big concert I saw was Bowie's Valentine's Day show at Radio City Music Hall in 1973, when he was lowered from the ceiling on a ball (as I recall) and collapsed at the end of "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide"—so Maria Callas!

Crush by Reuben's Brews was judged as (21A) American IPA under the 2015 BJCP Guidelines. It is considered as a Hazy IPA. The hazy moniker, style and trend these days is simply a beer that is unfiltered. Most beers are filtered accordingly, except wheat beers that include Hefeweizen and Belgian Wits. Why leave the beer unfiltered? One of the reasons is flavor profile and taste. Try a filtered and unfiltered version of the same beer and one can taste the difference. There is more hop profile, bitterness and qualities in an unfiltered beer. A filtered version will remove some of these qualities.
The appearance of this beer revealed a pale (grapefruit) like color hue, obviously very cloudy " hazy " with a very nice carbonation. It was almost white in color. The aroma of this beer had citrus all over it. I detected aromas of grapefruit, orange and lemons!
The flavor of this beer had a very strong bitterness presence along with a malt sweetness in the background. This beer is about hops and specifically Citra hops as again I detected flavors of grapefruit, lemon and oranges. For me, I just think that there was too much of a citrus flavor that could have been dialed down a bit. It was almost like drinking a citrus drink and was a bit overwhelming, at least for me. With these strong citrus flavors, it was almost mouth-puckering as well having to swallow twice after a sip. The body and mouthfeel were medium and with very good carbonation. The overall impression is that this is a nicely made hazy IPA with very ' assertive ' citrus flavors that may or may not appeal to all drinkers.

Proving that they are among the world's most dedicated professional sports-entertainers, WWE Superstars® Becky Lynch® and Seth Rollins® are maintaining the illusion that they are actually romantic partners in real life.
By pretending to be truly in love, Rollins and Lynch are practicing the lost art kayfabe — a once-sacred, though now largely defunct, tradition of upholding the storylines and characters of wrestling even when away from the ring.
Rollins and Lynch — who, according to sources within the company, actually strongly dislike one another — even went so far as to stage a mock "engagement," complete with an engagement ring and romantic photos from a beach.
The romance storyline is, of course, all part of a long buildup toward an epic showdown in WWE's inaugural Intergender Championship at WrestleMania next Spring.
Fans and pundits are well aware, however, that in real life Lynch is dating Viktor of The Ascension, and Rollins swore an oath of lifelong celibacy during his two-year retreat at a monastery in Tibet.

30BaD FADs: Frequently Added Discussions
What does the 30BaD team do about our safety?
What can 30BaD Members do to stay safe?
Things we can do to stay safe here @30BaD and on the net include:
Solicitors Beware!
Solicitation, spamming and scamming will not be tolerated and violators will have their membership deleted immediately.
Never Give Personal Information to Strangers
Recognize Current Cyber Scam Trends
In researching this, it was found that 99% of the time, the cyber crime would not have happened if the victim would not have shared their personal and financial information. Although some general examples have been shared, the best bet is to never share personal information with a stranger no matter what kind of sheep's clothing the request comes in:)
Reminding Children to Stay Safe
Educating children in avoiding internet predators of all kinds,and the tricks they use to get personal information is important.
Socializing is Safe in the Forum
Most HCRV lifestyle questions can be answered in the forum and or via PM in complete safety and anonymity. If someone you do not know is asking for your personal information and financial information, this should be a big red flag. Please do not acknowledge them and or share your information.
If in case you do form a long term good friendship or budding romance, it is hoped that discretion and observation for months at a time is used. Try to meet this person in a public place before inviting them home.
Dealing With Strangers Hard Luck Cases
If someone is in financial trouble, encourage them to seek help from their local agencies, churches and religious organizations, local charities, get a job, sell stuff, help a farmer with harvest, forage, or dumpster dive if sanitary. Some so called hard luck cases are actually scams to get free money and or your personal information for future theft and scams.
In general, solicitors, scammers and spammers are just phishing for information to be used in their future scams. Just like a hook is harmless to a fish until unless it bites, the same is usually the case with scammers and spammers. If you do not bite the hook and take the bait, most probably nothing will happen.
These are just safety and common sense protocols to keep in mind, but do not take stress and tension, and please continue to enjoy your visits and have fun.
Of further interest might be what your team does to keep things running smoothly:
The 30 Bananas a Day Peacekeepers and Team
The 30 Bananas a Day team does everything possible to stop spammers and scammers from getting through the membership process. Occasionally one does get through, but our members are still safe as long as they do not acknowledge the scammer or spammer and give out personal information to the spammer and scammer. Please inform a member of the 30BaD team if you encounter such an individual. 30BaD cannot be held responsible for members who should choose to give out their personal information to scammers and spammers and other unknown strangers, predators, and perpetrators.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The matter has been attended and profile deleted for spam.
Peace, PK
I just recieved this from a Spammer
Had another spammer today:
My Name is judith i want to your profile today at (www.30bananasaday.com) and i love it i think we can click from their!please i will like you to email me back through my email thus;(email@example.com) am waiting to receive your lovely reply soonest!
Never give out your email!
Look out for Mabel Wilton, another scammer!
We just had another spammer asking for people to contact her via her email, don't do it people, read the info. above!
Thanks for confirming my words here. While your 30BaD team does everything possible to keep things safe, at the end of the day, it is a public internet forum. Most of what people have to say and ask each other can be said safely in the forum, and then if someone is harassing someone, chances are greater the 30BaD team will catch it.
I am sorry you encountered such a psycho. I will PM you for further details, and to see if the situation was taken care of or not.
Harassment is a behavior that is not tolerated @BaD. With 10k members, we cannot possibly see what each and everyone does all the time, so if any one else is having an issue, please PM a member of the 30BaD team.
Peace, PK
May I just add how important it is that you do NOT give out any personal information or email addresses to people from forums, even 30bad. I have recently been harrassed by a member from here through emails, been called all kinds of female degrading words and been accused of really odd things which weren't true and basically this person expected me to be emailing him 24/7. Then when I talked back, he started sending out messages to people here on 30bad badmouthing me with the same lies he did in the emails to me. Beware, folks. There are psychos everywhere, even on 30 bananas a day. Don't trust anyone.
Good info! I'll remember this. ;)
Thanks PK,
I was just wondering if there was specific phishing or attacks or whatever targeting 30bad members.
@WL Thank you for your kind words and applause:)
@GWN: These are current cyber crime trends that I researched. This is more of a heads up for our members to stay safe whether on 30BaD or elsewhere on the web.
What I learned is that in 99% of cyber crime cases, it would not have happened if the victim had not shared their personal information. There are so many scenarios out there, and rather than write a "blook" about each and everyone of them, I just emphasized some general trends and warning people not to give personal information.
Peace, PK

DreamWeek kicks off events leading to MLK March
Open forums cover range of topics
DreamWeek, a 16-day summit of open forums in and around downtown, kicks off today with events leading up to the city's Martin Luther King Jr. March, regarded as one of the nation's largest processions.
A ceremonial breakfast is scheduled from 8 to 9:30 a.m. at The Spire, 230 Center St., with Mayor Ivy Taylor scheduled to give opening remarks. Ed Newton, pastor of Community Bible Church, is the keynote speaker.
Shokare Nakpodia, president and founder of DreamWeek, said the energy for the event comes from the thousands of people who march as a collective for equality, diversity and tolerance. Nakpodia said he founded the summit in 2012 as an environment where people can speak, debate and listen to all kinds of ideas without violence.
"People learn each others' point of view, or people are swayed and maybe change their position, based on what they've heard and what they've learned," he said. "We think that San Antonio is primed to become a location for a healthy exchange of ideas."
More than 100 events are scheduled for the summit. This year's forums feature a range of topics, including LGBTQ youth homelessness; a morning of remembrance of the Holocaust; the Asian-American experience and an event honoring seven original Mississippi Freedom Riders.
City Council District 2 liaison DeMonte Alexander said DreamWeek is a vital part of the march that's organized by the city's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commission. The march will be held Jan. 16 at 10 a.m., starting at 3501 MLK Drive and ending at Pittman-Sullivan Park, 1101 Iowa.
"It's like an onion. You have the core, which is the commission, which can only reach so far in terms of demographics," Alexander said. "DreamWeek is the other layers of the onion that talks about not only MLK's legacy and things he stood for, but other issues and opens the discussion up for people to have a voice about how they feel about certain issues."
The theme of this year's march is "King's legacy for peace is justice for all. Remember! Celebrate! Act!"
The keynote speaker at the commission's commemorative program will be award-winning recording artist and activist David Banner. The program will also include R&B artist Jidenna.
This is the 30th anniversary of the commission and the city sponsoring the first official MLK March. The MLK Jr. Commission was established April 3, 1986, by a city resolution under the term of former Mayor Henry Cisneros.
Alexander, also communications chairman for the commission, said the march is the culmination of year-round planning. A large part of the commission's focus is the Martin Luther King Jr. scholarship program.
"All of this is for Dr. King, who was an advocate for doing these type of things to help continue to push for education in the community," Alexander said. "That's why we do everything we do to raise money for the kids."

One of the largest civil disobedience actions in a generation is coming to Capitol Hill in April of 2016.
More than 2,000 individuals from around the country, including Gaby Hoffman, Mark Ruffalo, and Larry Lessig, have joined Democracy Spring and pledged to risk arrest in a massive, peaceful sit-in in the U.S. Capitol. The protesters will demand that Congress take immediate legislative action to end the corruption of big money in politics, protect the right to vote, and ensure free & fair elections that give every American an equal voice.
Immediately following the mass sit-ins, Democracy Awakening will build on the momentum of Democracy Spring as thousands more pour into the nation's capital for three additional days of public education, mass mobilization, and direct action.

All In The Family...
I had a great time back in K.C. MO. hanging out with my family this past week. My folks flew in from Nevada. My brother came in from Ft. Worth, my cousin Sarah and husband Michael had us at their place while my folks stayed with my Uncle and Aunt across the street. Total blast! Bob, my uncle and the newest Grandpa Johnson turned 60 so we helped him celebrate the big day and it was my first chance to see my newest cousin, Giada Bella... precious little girl that she is. Sarah and Michael gave her each of their best genes and you can tell just in looking at her.
Yesterday was my Folks' 40th anniversary and as I was going through these pictures, I realized over the decades of my photography that I've never done a real nice portrait of them. I so wish I could have thought about that when I had them hostage here in Indy for the day that they were here.... Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!!!! I love you tons.

- I'm one of the few people from Wyoming in the midwest. Born and bred, by default I'm a cowboy, through life though I guess I've kept the wanderlust and taken it urban. Having lived in 11 states now, I feel safe to say that I've found home in Indy. I'd never have dreamed I'd live here but 5 years later, I have no complaints! I've been a "lifestyle" photographer for quite a while. Cutting my teeth in landscape photography and photojournalism out West I've developed a style that focuses on simplicity, beauty and life lived well.

When you were at the appropriate age, you had to go through a State approved process to obtain a Driver's Permit which eventually led to you being able to obtain your Driver's License.
Why is it that there is no equivalent for Young Adults to obtain a Dater's Permit® which eventually leads them to being able to obtain a Dater's License®? Well, we thought this void needed a solution and given the current Teen Dating Crisis in our world, the timing couldn't be better!
We are equipping Parents and Teens with a training curriculum that provides the same kind of training that you get when seeking a driver's permit or driver's license. The analogies between driving and dating make it very easy to understand the importance of paying attention to this subject.

Eden Hagos is the founder of Black Foodie, a bustling culinary platform that features recipes, events and food guides through a Black lens. We caught up with her this week.
SDTC: Can you tell me a bit about yourself and your background with food?
WH: I grew up in Windsor, Ontario, in an Ethiopian immigrant family. I was surrounded by people hustling in the food world. I watched my family open one of the first Ethiopian restaurants in my hometown in the 90s and my grandmother distribute and sell injera across the city. I was always interested in food and cooking up experiments, but I didn't take it seriously until much later.
After moving to Toronto to complete my studies in sociology, I got introduced to the amazing world of Caribbean food, often grabbing jerk chicken, rice and peas and of course plantains as take out. Interestingly enough, I didn't think too deeply about food, especially not the cuisines from my community. I loved injera but I wouldn't dare bring that to school or work. There was a shame I had around my own cultural cuisine. I thought it was too strange, the scent too strong and generally too different to eat outside of the home.
Can you walk me through a typical day in your your life, from getting up until going to bed?
Every day changes, but in general there are some constants. I do social media management and consulting, so my day often begins with updating clients' pages, scheduling posts and responding to emails. I'm on social quite a bit but I love it! It's amazing how we can connect to so many interesting people at the click of a button. Black Foodie is always sharing and posting the awesome things happening in the Black Food space. From then I usually check in with the creative assistant, Kema – she's awesome and responsible for ensuring our contributors are up to speed and recruiting other talented Black Foodies into the network.
Up next is usually a call; I'm often in talks with caterers and food entrepreneurs on how to get their delicious products in front of the larger community. So I'll talk strategy, come up with some ideas and learn what's happening in their business. Then comes the exciting part – eating! I'd say I go out to eat at least five times a week. Black Foodie began as an online platform, publishing articles and recipes and then hosting events in addition to this. Now we are moving into creating more video content. I'm constantly checking out restaurants, chefs and events to feature in the series. I've also begun shooting other food-related content for the site, so when I'm not out to eat I'm usually somewhere with the team and friends shooting or editing.
What prompted you to start Black Foodie?
I've always been interested in food and, of course, I love to eat! As I mentioned earlier, my family opened one of the first Ethiopian restaurants in Windsor and my grandparents previously owned a cafe and spice market back in East Africa, so I grew up surrounded by people who were incredibly talented and passionate about food.
However, it was a negative experience that I had while dining out in Toronto for my birthday that really got me thinking about food and race more critically. I ended up leaving the restaurant that night, embarrassed, upset and feeling threatened. An experience like that really sticks with you. I started wondering about the ways in which Black people experience the food world differently and I began reflecting on my own dining choices. I realized I hadn't even thought to celebrate at an African or Caribbean restaurant. From then on, I became more intentional about my dining choices and sought to explore the food world from a uniquely Black lens. I also wanted to connect other folks like me and provide Black Foodies from around the world with a great resource. After several months of travelling and experimenting, Black Foodie was born.
What's the biggest challenge you've overcome in putting Black Foodie together?
Hate. I received quite a bit of backlash early on for creating a site that celebrates Black perspectives in food and for sharing my story. But trolls will always be there to hate on what we do. I've learned to ignore this and now one of the biggest challenges is keeping up with the growth of Black Foodie and deciding what to do now and what can be saved for later. Our online community has grown quite a bit and I'm contacted by people from around the world now who are doing awesome things with food and want to get involved, share a recipe, have an event idea, or other suggestions. For the most part it's all pretty dope! But I, along with my team, can't do everything at once. I'm learning now to prioritize and focus.
What do you have planned for Black Foodie in 2017?
What inspires me to keep going is the desire to see our voices and flavours represented. I grew up on amazing African food and have a passion to tell the stories of the resilient culinary ambassadors across the diaspora. What's next for Black Foodie is taking our stories into video content and producing high-quality content that engages our audience. Imagine if the Food Network actually featured food/travel shows with Black leads talking about African, Caribbean and Southern cuisine? Wouldn't that be amazing? We certainly think so and that's why were are creating it for ourselves!
Another thing we've got up our sleeves is more events and taking them on the road. We've got a huge following in Toronto but also a dedicated following in the US and other countries abroad! I would like to take our events Injera and Chill, Doubles vs Patties, Jollof Wars and more to other major cities in the US.
I'm also looking into facilitating more interactive experiences in Toronto like markets, cooking workshops and food tours. Some of my favourite moments with Black Foodie have been the in-person experiences! The way people's faces light up when they try amazing African/Caribbean food is priceless. I plan on creating more of these moments in 2017.

About Us
At CCP, we are inspired by working with highly skilled colleagues, who are moved to genuinely care and invest in the well-being and lives of those we serve.
Who We Are
Civil Civil Collaborative Professionals (CCP) is a group of attorney, financial and licensed mental health experts who guide clients to create respectful, mutually agreeable resolutions, out of court. In addition to being licensed and/or certified in their areas of expertise, all CCP Professionals are also trained in both mediation as well as the specific protocols for a Civil Collaborative Legal Process. The collaborative process is designed for clients who want to stay out of court, and need more support than a simple one-mediator model can provide if they are to reach an agreement .
At CCP, we are committed to transforming the adversarial culture of litigated dispute resolution and going beyond the one-mediator model. Instead, we offer a more comprehensive, yet cost-effective, Consensual Dispute Resolution (CDR) process. Civil Collaborative Practice draws on the different talents of a team of specific professionals who work to preserve assets, respect and valued relationships, while considering the dignity, wellbeing and interests of all participants.
Professionals trained in Collaborative Practice are able to work flexibly together using multiple service options to best address clients' specific needs (See "Service Options")
What is Civil Collaborative Practice?
People may find themselves in disputes over, for example: the management of trusts and estates, business transactions, product defects, as well as health care, employment and construction issues. When those in conflict can't work things out, they typically go to court and hire help: attorneys, CPAs and other adjunct professionals. Litigation is an expensive, adversarial process that costs time, money, stress and relationships. Court combat and mediation are not the only options!
CCP professionals are all trained in protocols to facilitate a structured, legal process that provides more client support than mediation can offer, while staying out of court. Clients are guided as they, not a judge, design solutions to their differences. Clients select and agree to share a neutral financial specialist, and each client selects a collaboratively trained attorney and "coach" (licensed mental health professional). While actively blocking and redirecting ineffective communication (e.g. threatening, intimidating, judgmental comments), coaches redirect and facilitate effective communication, while teaching clients to manage emotions so they can move forward, and get to an agreement.
Overview of Cost-Effectiveness & Benefits The collaborative professional team determines and tailors the process that best suits clients' needs, to ensure cost-effectiveness. For example, clients with more effective communication skills will need less coach intervention. When specialized advice is needed for clients to create an informed agreement, adjunct professionals are selected and shared by clients (e.g. instead of paying for two separate property evaluators, they agree on one). Collaboratively trained professionals actively avoid litigious language. For example, rather than referring to clients as "disputants," in civil collaborative practice, clients are referred to as "aspirants" -- They aspire and work to stay out of court, resolve differences respectfully, and consider the wellbeing, needs and interests of all participants. By staying out of court, the Civil Collaborative Process works to preserve assets, privacy, the dignity of all participants, stress, as well as valued workplace, family and other relationships.
