DENVER — David Wright is giving 2017 one last shot.
The Mets captain, who has been sidelined since spring training with a right shoulder impingement that has prevented him from throwing, reported to Port St. Lucie earlier this week to begin low-level baseball activity, according to assistant general manager John Ricco.
"It's a good sign and we'll see how his body responds as he starts to build up," Ricco said before the Mets faced the Rockies at Coors Field on Wednesday.
Wright most significantly is playing catch, taking grounders and hitting from a tee. But Ricco indicated it's too early to predict if the 34-year-old third baseman can get his body in shape to play for the Mets in September.
"I don't think we're looking at it that way, it's been so long," Ricco said, when asked if there is still enough time for Wright this season. "But I think we're going to take it more a day at a time and see how his body responds."
Wright underwent surgery to repair a herniated disk in his neck in June 2016 and hasn't played in a regular season game since. He saw limited action at designated hitter in the Grapefruit League this year before tests revealed the impingement in his shoulder.
Even as he attempts to overcome the throwing issue, Wright is battling spinal stenosis in his back, an ailment that cost him most of the 2015 season. Just to get on the field, Wright needs about two hours of stretching exercises.
Wright had last attempted to begin a throwing program in May.
"It's been a while," Ricco said. "He's been out in California for quite some time and is just getting himself back into shape. He just got to Florida [on Tuesday] and we'll see how it goes. I don't think we're looking too far ahead, just see how it goes over these next few days and weeks."
After this season Wright will still have three years remaining on the $138 million contract he signed in December 2012.
The Mets have filled third base in his absence with an assortment of players, most notably Jose Reyes, who solidified the position during the team's run to a National League wild-card berth last season. This year the club has used a revolving door that includes Reyes, Asdrubal Cabrera, Wilmer Flores and T.J. Rivera.
Wright has not appeared in as many as 40 games in a season since 2014. Last year he had a .226/.350/.438 slash line with seven homers and 14 RBIs in 37 games.
After the spinal stenosis diagnosis cost him most of 2015, Wright returned for the final six weeks of the regular season and started at third base during the team's surge to the NL East crown and first World Series appearance since 2000.
Jeurys Familia, who is rehabbing from surgery to remove a blood clot in his right shoulder, threw from a mound for the first time in his recovery, according to Ricco. The Mets are hopeful Familia will return at some point this month.
Josh Edgin, who was designated for assignment last weekend, cleared waivers and accepted an assignment to Triple-A Las Vegas. … Robert Gsellman is expected to make a third rehab start at Double-A Binghamton on Sunday. … Noah Syndergaard and Matt Harvey are long-tossing in Port St. Lucie, but have yet to resume throwing from a mound.

"Life is a big canvas; throw all the paint on it you can!" -D. Kaye
Hi there, I'm Malini, scientist-turned-artist/writer/teacher. I'm delighted you stopped by :) If you're here because you've heard of my unique art workshops for beginners, you're in the right place!
SO ... Is this you?
Have you ever gazed longingly at a beautiful work of abstract art, and thought, "I wish I could do that, but I don't have a creative bone in my body!" Do you yearn to express your creativity, but you just don't know how? Are weekly art classes impossible, because you just can't spare the time? Yes, yes and yes? Well then, things may be about to change for you!
PAINTING FOR BEGINNERS - the ONE DAY INTENSIVE is for...
The ABSOLUTE BEGINNER: You're the one that's always been curious about your artistic side, but you haven't a clue where to begin. Or the one that's never had the time to attend weekly art classes. Or perhaps it all seems too overwhelming … maybe you feel you've left it too late to learn. Hey, I designed this workshop for YOU! In one jam-packed, fun day, you'll lose that fear of the unknown. And learn absolutely heaps. I've got you covered!
The NOW-AND-THEN-DABBLER: So you paint a little. But you love it a lot! And you dream of one day learning how to do it all 'properly'. Now's your chance. Use my seven step process to give you some clear structure. Let my intensive but oh-so-fun approach invigorate you. You'll be painting with more purpose and passion in no time!
I meet hundreds of wonderful, worried, would-be creatives in my workshops.And in just ONE DAY, I fill their hearts and hands with possibilities! It's an insanely busy day, full of laughs and love, and the beautiful art that emerges is just spectacular. This event that began in my backyard just a few years ago, with five young folk who were keen to learn to paint has now grown into my consuming passion and helped transform the lives of so many people. It is an incredible honour to be part of another's creative journey, and that delight I witness in my students as they rediscover their creativity… aaah, it makes my heart sing :)
Thank you for your interest in me and my work. It would be my honour to make a difference in your life, and help unlock your creativity!
You have so much joy ahead of you :)

Employee Volunteerism: Don's story
Don Poulos is a Planner Scheduler in Alyeska's Project Controls group. In his free time, he volunteers with the Koniag Education Foundation, which provides scholarships and educational support to shareholders of the Koniag region. Alyeska funds some scholarships administered through KEF.
What is your involvement with KEF? I have worked on the Development Committee for two and a half years and have served as a "super mentor" for more than 20 young people, supporting them as students and as young professionals.
What makes you passionate about the organization? Being from Kodiak….. the mission of KEF is "to help our people achieve their potential through education" and the people they are helping are the Alutiiq people, of which I am a member. This foundation helps to train and education our future leaders.
What do you want others to know about the work of KEF? Education is essential to our people, our communities and our economy. In just over 15 years, KEF has awarded more than $2.7 million in scholarships and grants to our Alutiiq people.
How does your involvement with the organization align with your role at Alyeska? Alyeska provides funding for Alaska Native training, education and internships in preparation for careers on TAPS. This funding is strategically focused to increase the pool of qualified Alaska Native applicants in specific job categories. KEF partners with Alyeska to provide matching scholarship funds to Alutiiq students who are studying in Alaska in the oil industry.
Alyeska employees step up and serve
Dozens of Alyeska employees give time and energy to Alaska non-profits – from school PTAs to food banks to statewide leadership organizations.
About 40 employees in 2011 logged 50 or more hours of volunteer times to organizations in their communities and qualified for Alyeska's volunteer match program. Dozens of employees serve on boards, either as members or in leadership roles.
Alyeska Pipeline has a strong legacy of supporting communities where employees live and work. To honor this, and mark its 35th anniversary of operations, Alyeska invites community members to vote for their favorite nonprofit featured in Alyeska's $5K Philanthropy Poll. Nonprofits with the most votes from Valdez, Fairbanks, and Anchorage/statewide will receive $5000 from Alyeska Pipeline.
Employee Volunteerism: Karen's story
Karen Stewart is the Compliance & Documentation Specialist, supporting the Operations Team at the Valdez Marine Terminal. She's known in Valdez as a volunteer extraordinaire, involved in a wide range of community efforts and projects. Steward spoke about what motivates her to give back to her community:
Finding something I am passionate about was easy to do in Valdez. I wanted to do something good for others and the community. I want to make it a better place to live. I want to help change peoples lives for the better.
I have been on several boards during my 24 years in Valdez, including the World Extreme Skiing Championships (WESC) where I was president for 5 years. WESC catapulted Valdez in a new direction, into helicopter and snowcat skiing and hopefully — someday -- a ski resort. That would be a dream come true.
I sat on the Valdez United Way (UW) Board for nine years and acted as president and vice president. We were able to do so many great things for the more than 46 non-profit organizations in Valdez. It was certainly gratifying to see so much good done with the money raised during the fall campaign. It could not be successful with out the generosity of Alyeska and our contractor partners.
I became involved with Junior Achievement (JA) in 1995. I was the program coordinator for Valdez for 16 years. It was a wonderful opportunity to become involved with the Valdez school system and make a difference in a young person's life. As a consultant for JA, I was able to spend time in the classroom and have hands-on learning time with students from kindergarten through sixth grade. I also raised funds to support for JA in Valdez, and connected with professionals in the community to teach the classes. Alyeska played a strategic role in JA by sponsoring the program and allowing their employees paid time to teach the five classes in the JA program.
I have been on the Valdez Museum and Historical Archives for ten years. The board is a very active and hard working. Not only is the board active in decision making and policies, there is always something going on at the museum. We're working on hosting exhibit openings, a revitalization program, the Exxon Oil Spill Exhibit, and we are currently developing a new aviation exhibit.
Fundraising is a big part for a non-profit. I have chaired the annual museum fundraiser, 'The Roadhouse Dinner,' for ten years, and have helped to raise thousands of dollars for this very active place. It has been fun and a lot of work. Alyeska has been helpful in contributing $500 to organizations that employees give more than 50 hours of volunteer time to, and through my volunteering and keeping track of my hours, the museum has benefited from Alyeska's philanthropy program.
Currently I am chairing the Gold Rush Days' committee called the Golden Rock Awards, promoting community beautification through the art of gardening. Gold Rush Days is the first weekend in August and money raised during this weeklong celebration goes to the Valdez Scholarship Fund.
So there you have it. There is so much to do in Valdez if you like to get involved and give of your time. I enjoy volunteering, chairing committees, and making a difference in an individual's life and the community.
Alyeska supports environment through various programs
June 30 marked Carol Comeau's last day as Anchorage School District Superintendent, and she ended her career in the same place she started it: on an elementary school playground. Comeau joined volunteers from the Parks Foundation, including a group from Alyeska, as they renovated the North Russian Jack Springs Park. The park needed a makeover and is receiving new playground equipment later in August.
This is just one example of numerous efforts by Alyeska throughout the year to protect and improve Alaska's environment. Alyeska invests in many environmental projects and organizations throughout the year, including the Alaska Botanical Gardens in Anchorage, the Calyspo Farms School gardens and Project Green Star in Fairbanks, the Eagle River Nature Center, Bird TLC, the Prince William Sound Science Center in Valdez, the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center in Portage and the Valley Center for Recycling in Mat-Su.
Saturday's event focused on cleaning up a well-loved park and celebrating the career of Comeau, who started her career with the Anchorage School District as a playground attendant at Ocean View Elementary. During her 35 years with the district, she worked her way up to the superintendent role.
At Saturday's event, supporters thanked her for her years of service, many bringing school supplies to donate to one of her favorite initiatives, Helping Us Give School Supplies (H.U.G.S.S.). The Anchorage Park Foundation has also established the "Russian Jack Springs Park Playground Fund" and is accepting ongoing community donations..
Alyeska volunteers who signed on to assist on Saturday said it was rewarding spending several hours giving back to the community and improving the environment for park users.
Corporate Communications Director Michelle Egan helped plan the event.
"I worked with Carol for 10 years before coming to Alyeska, and found this event to be a really fitting way for her to say goodbye to the community," Egan said. "Those who work closely with her know she is especially passionate about the early developmental childhood years which made this project a great fit."
A safe and happy 4th of July

Helping hands in the museum community
Alyeska volunteers headed to the Valdez Museum June 28 to help install photos and finish landscaping projects before Fourth of July community events began. Alyeska is a long-time friend to this Valdez community institution, sponsoring exhibits, its annual Roadhouse fundraiser and the student art show each spring.
"Over the last 15 years, Alyeska really has made a difference at the Valdez Museum & Historical Archive through sponsorship dollars and volunteer hours," says Patti Relay, Executive Director. "Bottom line, we could not have done it without Alyeska and its employees."
Helping the Valdez Museum is just one of the ways Alyeska partners with museums and cultural centers around the state.
In Fairbanks, Alyeska has been an important contributor to help build exhibits in the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitor's Center. The center celebrates the Athabascan culture and educates visitors about how residents live and work in the Interior.
Alyeska recently donated an intricate beaded belt by Athabascan elder Hannah Solomon for display at the Center. Alyeska also supports the newly formed Cultural Endowment Program there, and a periodically supports the University of Alaska Museum of the North with funding to support special exhibits.
Alyeska Pipeline has supported various exhibits and the renovation at the Anchorage Museum. In 2011, Anchorage donations included a contribution to the Alaska Museum of Natural History and to the Anchorage Museum, where an entire display dedicated to the Trans Alaska Pipeline System is visited by thousands of people every year.
Committed to the Alaska Native community
Every fall, Alyeska Pipeline employees have a proud presence at the annual Alaska Federation of Natives Convention. Their involvement runs the gamut - from staffing booths, to bundling up in arctic gear and greeting attendees at the door, to speaking to the audiences or serving on panels at the Elders and Youth Convention.
Providing support for AFN aligns with Alyeska's commitment to supporting the Alaska Native community – a commitment that has existed from the pipeline's inception, when Alyeska committed to recruiting, training, employing and promoting Alaska Natives.The agreement has helped forge a strong relationship between Alyeska and the Alaska Native community and is one of the things that makes TAPS unique.
"Alyeska preserves historical relationships with organizations that greatly benefit our Alaska Native people, communities, and the State of Alaska as a whole," said Tabetha Toloff, Alaska Native Program Manager. "It's important that as ambassadors of the company, Alyeska employees are connected to the rich history and relationships that have helped shape our corporate culture and reputation of being committed to our stakeholders."
As part of the program, Alyeska also supports scholarship funds and education efforts, and invests resources in exposing these professionals to different aspects of the business, preparing them for and helping them advance within the industry.
The annual AFN event – an impressive gathering of residents from across Alaska – remains a good opportunity for TAPS employees to interact with the community and show their support for their neighbors.
"Alyeska employees are encouraged to participate with partnering organizations during events such as the Elders and Youth Conference and AFN Convention," Toloff said. "Giving back to our stakeholders through acts of servant leadership is just one way we are able to say thank you for all that Alaskans have done to help shape the future of our people and great state."
Alyeska continues investing in a long-standing partnership with the Alaska Federation of Natives through a commitment of $473,000 over five years.
Employee volunteerism: Betsy's story
Alyeska Oil Movements Director Betsy Haines is an active board member for the YWCA Anchorage, motivated by a personal commitment to empowering women and youth.
How long have you been involved in the YWCA and in what capacity? I have attended the YWCA Women of Achievement luncheon, at the Alyeska sponsored table, for more than 15 years. Every time I attended I was so inspired by the women who were highlighted. I started to look into the mission of the YWCA and was equally inspired; I joined the board two years ago.
Why are you so committed to the YWCA? I have always been committed to helping girls and women improve their lives. Throughout my career I have looked for opportunity to use my experience and skills in differing areas whether it is helping Girl Scouts, the school district, women in Alyeska, Habitat for Humanity or elsewhere. I have also been involved with the Gold Nugget Triathlon whose mission is to improve the lives of women and girls through athletics.
The mission of the YWCA is very similar and equally powerful: "eliminating racism and empowering women." I wanted to be a part of that mission because it is so important to the women and girls of our community and state.
What do you want others to know about the work of the Y? The YWCA is headed in a direction that excites me and many others. We have a new Executive Director who is amazing and inspiring and already has challenged the organization to expand from a local Anchorage view to a statewide view. We have three "signature" programs: Women's Economic Empowerment, Women's Wellness, and Youth Empowerment. I have focused my attention on the youth programs and with great support from Alyeska we fund Girls and Boys Circle programs at the elementary schools around Anchorage and in particular at our business partner school, Russian Jack. The work of the YWCA can help change the lives of our youth for the better!
How does your involvement with the Y align with your role at Alyeska? I believe in giving back to my community and here at Alyeska our matching gift plan, our school business partnership and time we are allowed to support community events is a real benefit and one I don't take lightly. As budgets tighten up around the state, I feel fortunate to work at a company that still supports the community and it is part of my job to direct that support to areas where I have the energy and interest to match.
Health Fair delivers to Prince William Sound
For the communities of Cordova and Whittier, the tug/barge Krystal Sea/Cordova Provider is a common sight, shuttling supplies and fish between the two communities. But for eight days each spring, the vessel has extra special cargo--two nurses, a gaggle of wellness care providers and a mammogram van--as it makes its way around Prince William Sound for the Alyeska Traveling Health and Safety Fair.
For over ten years, the Alyeska-sponsored event has brought vital health and wellness services to communities of Cordova, Whittier, Chenega Bay, Tatitlek and Valdez. Medical professionals set up testing equipment so that community members can learn their blood pressure, cholesterol levels and other important health information. Volunteers also head into classrooms to talk to kids about drugs and alcohol, suicide, nutrition and other issues brought up by teachers and community members beforehand. The mammogram van, brought along by the Breast Cancer Detection Center in Fairbanks, saves many women an expensive trip into Anchorage.
"The Prince William Sound Health and Safety Fair is an incredibly important resource for the residents of the Sound," says Pam Shirrell, a public health nurse and long time co-organizer of the event. "Alyeska saw a need, and worked creatively to solve it. Ten years later, we're still seeing positive outcomes in the communities from our time there."
Alyeska Lives United!
Along the pipeline, the United Way campaign is a unified event for TAPS employees. Simultaneous campaign kickoff and closeout celebrations always draw dozens of employees who are committed to supporting United Way's work. Often these events include representatives from nonprofits that are benefited by United Way.
Why do so many Alyeska employees feel so strongly about the United Way? "For me, it's about sharing what I can to help build a stronger community and improve the quality of life for those less fortunate than myself," Inventory Control/Warehouse Supervisor Cheryl Graan said.
Although the cause is a serious one, employees like to have fun while raising money. Valdez is host to a variety of events during the annual company-wide United Way drive each fall. Whether it's a hot dog drive-thru fundraiser, or a community 5-K run, they know how to get in the spirit!
Anchorage sponsors a "Canstruction" event as part of their United Way campaign to generate non-perishable food items and monetary donations for the Food Bank of Alaska. Some examples of sculptures include the Statue of Liberty and, of course, scenic representations of the pipeline. In order to participate in the contest, teams raise funds to cover design and construction costs, as well as building and dismantling the sculptures. Last year's winning sculpture was Food Bank of Alaska's logo.
Fairbanks has a tradition of concluding their United Way campaign with a pie contest. Bidding for homemade desserts is fast and furious, with ROW/EP&C Director Lorena Hegdal's blueberry dessert a traditional top finisher. In addition to raising money for United Way, events such as these help build employee morale and ensure Alyeska's reputation as a good corporate citizen.
In recent years, employees' donations have benefited the United Way organizations in Anchorage, Fairbanks, the Matanuska Susitna Borough, the Kenai Peninsula, southeast Alaska and Valdez. Alyeska employees' contributions are matched dollar-for-dollar. In 2011, the company's overall donation to United Way topped $573,000.

Robert Mugabe Passed at Age 95
- Robert Mugabe Passed at Age 95
The former president of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, has died at age 95 in a hospital in Singapore on 6th September 2019.
Mugabe died after battling ill health following a military coup that ousted him from power in November 2017.
In 1980, Robert Mugabe became prime minister through election but in 1987 he abolished the office and became president instead.
Mugabe successor, Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa, said: "It is with the utmost sadness that I announce the passing on of Zimbabwe's founding father and former President, Cde Robert Mugabe."
Makinde Directs Schools to Reopen After #EndSARS Protest
Schools to Reopen After #EndSARS Protest, Says Governor Makinde
The Executive Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has directed schools across the Ibadan metropolis to resume normal activities immediately after the #EndSARS protest.
Mr Olasunkanmi Olaleye, the commissioner for education, Oyo State, disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday in Ibadan.
According to Olaleye, the directive was after a careful review of the situation in the Ibadan metropolis as promised by Governor Makinde in a state broadcast on October 20.
This was after the governor ordered the closure of all schools, private and public, in the Ibadan metropolis for three days and promised to review the situation on October 23.
Olaleye said the governor thanks the youths who have been cooperating with security operatives in the state to ensure peace and order.
NIMC to Register, Issue 2.5 million National Identification Monthly
The National Identity Management Commission has said it would improve registration and issuance of the National Identification Numbers to both Nigerians and legal residents to the current 500,000 to 2.5 million per month.
Aliya Aziz, Director-General, NIMC, said this was the commission's renewed commitment towards the provision of identity services to the nation.
He gave the assurance while playing host to the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, who was on an official visit to the commission's head office in Abuja.
Aziz said in a statement issued in Abuja by the Head, Corporate Communication, NIMC, Kayode Adegoke, that the commission would meet and surpass the monthly target.
This, he said, would be part of the policy statements in the National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy.
The NIMC boss told his guest that the commission had competent human resources and was looking forward to government support and intervention in injecting the much needed material resources to realise the set objectives.
Pantami charged the commission to increase and improve its performance with regards to NIN registration and issuance, as he also reiterated the target of 2.5 million monthly enrolments.
The minister told his host that the importance of digital identity in actualising the digital economy goals could not be overemphasised and commended the strides recorded by the NIMC despite limited resources.
He assured the commission of government's support and guidance towards ensuring the fulfilment of its mandate, adding that he had initiated moves to improve staff welfare at the NIMC.
Pantami also assured the NIMC management and staff of his resolve to improve the state of the current infrastructure and equipment to enable the commission to sustain its performance.
#EndSARS: Here is the Complete Speech of President Buhari
The Complete Speech of President Muhammadu Buhari
Following the Lekki Massacre, president Muhammadu Buhari delivered the much-awaited speech. However, the speech failed to touch on the massacre or the people affected, infuriating millions of Nigerian youths that have committed so much to the struggle and lost so much.
Below is the complete speech.
"Fellow Nigerians,
It has become necessary for me to address you having heard from many concerned Nigerians and having concluded a meeting with all the Security Chiefs.
As a democratic government, we listened to, and carefully evaluated the five-point demands of the protesters. And, having accepted them, we immediately scrapped SARS, and put measures in place to address the other demands of our youth.
On approving the termination of SARS I already made it clear that it was in line with our commitment to the implementation of extensive Police reforms.
Sadly, the promptness with which we have acted seemed to have been misconstrued as a sign of weakness and twisted by some for their selfish unpatriotic interests.
The result of this is clear to all observers: human lives have been lost; acts of sexual violence have been reported; two major correctional facilities were attacked and convicts freed; public and private properties completely destroyed or vandalised; the sanctity of the Palace of a peace-maker, the Oba of Lagos has been violated. So-called protesters have invaded an International Airport and in the process disrupted the travel plans of fellow Nigerians and our visitors.
All these executed in the name of the ENDSARS protests. I am indeed deeply pained that innocent lives have been lost. These tragedies are uncalled for and unnecessary.
Certainly, there is no way whatsoever to connect these bad acts to legitimate expression of grievance of the youth of our country.
The spreading of deliberate falsehood and misinformation through the social media in particular, that this government is oblivious to the pains and plight of its citizens, is a ploy to mislead the unwary within and outside Nigeria into unfair judgement and disruptive behaviour.
On the contrary, both our deeds and words have shown how committed this administration has been to the well being and welfare of citizens, even with the steadily dwindling revenues, and the added responsibilities and restrictions due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Government has put in place measures and initiatives principally targeted at youths, women and the most vulnerable groups in our society. These included our broad plan to lift 100 million Nigerians out of poverty in the next 10 years; the creation of N75 billion National Youth Investment Fund to provide opportunities for the youths, and the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Survival Fund, through which government is:
a. paying 3-months salaries of the staff of 100,000 micro, small- and medium- enterprises
b. paying for the registration of 250,000 businesses at the Corporate Affairs Commission
c. giving a grant of N30,000 to 100,000 artisans
d. guaranteeing market for the products of traders
These are in addition to many other initiatives such as:
a. Farmermoni,
b. Tradermoni,
c. Marketmoni,
d. N-Power,
e. N-Tech and
f. N-Agro.
No Nigerian Government in the past has methodically and seriously approached poverty-alleviation like we have done.
With regard to the welfare of police personnel, the National Salaries, Income and Wages Commission has been directed to expedite action on the finalization of the new salary structure of members of the Nigeria Police Force.
The emoluments of other paramilitary services are also being reviewed upwards.
In order to underscore the importance of education in preparing youths for the future, this administration has come up with a new salary structure and other incentives for our teachers.
Let me at this point reaffirm the Federal Government's commitment to preserving the unity of this country.
We will continue to improve good governance and our democratic process, including through sustained engagement.
We shall continue to ensure that liberty and freedom, as well as the fundamental rights of all citizens, are protected.
But remember that government also has the obligation to protect lives and properties, as well as the right of citizens to go about their daily businesses freely and protected from acts of violence.
To our neighbours in particular, and members of the international community, many of whom have expressed concern about the ongoing development in Nigeria, we thank you and urge you all to seek to know all the facts available before taking a position or rushing to judgement and making hasty pronouncements.
In the circumstances, I would like to appeal to protesters to note and take advantage of the various well-thought-out initiatives of this administration designed to make their lives better and more meaningful, and resist the temptation of being used by some subversive elements to cause chaos with the aim of truncating our nascent democracy.
For you to do otherwise will amount to undermining national security and the law and order situation. Under no circumstances will this be tolerated.
I therefore call on our youths to discontinue the street protests and constructively engage government in finding solutions.
Your voice has been heard loud and clear and we are responding.
And I call on all Nigerians to go about their normal businesses, and enjoin security agencies to protect lives and properties of all law-abiding citizens without doing harm to those they are meant to protect.
Let me pay tribute to officers of the Nigeria Police Force who have tragically lost their lives in the line of duty.
I would like to thank those State Governors, traditional and religious leaders who have appealed for calm and restraint.
I also thank youth leaders who have restrained their followers from taking the law into their hands.
This government respects and will continue to respect all the democratic rights and civil liberties of the people, but it will not allow anybody or groups to disrupt the peace of our nation.
Thank you all. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria."

A standard library for the client-side Web
The goal of this crate is to provide Rust bindings to the Web APIs and to allow a high degree of interoperability between Rust and JavaScript.
You can directly embed JavaScript code into Rust:
let message = "Hello, 世界!";
let result = js! {
alert( @{message} );
return 2 + 2 * 2;
println!( "2 + 2 * 2 = {:?}", result );
Even closures are supported:
let print_hello = |name: String| {
println!( "Hello, {}!", name );
js! {
var print_hello = @{print_hello};
print_hello( "Bob" );
print_hello.drop(); // Necessary to clean up the closure on Rust's side.
You can also pass arbitrary structures thanks to serde:
struct Person {
name: String,
age: i32
js_serializable!( Person );
js! {
var person = @{person};
console.log( person.name + " is " + person.age + " years old." );
This crate also exposes a number of Web APIs, for example:
let button = document().query_selector( "#hide-button" ).unwrap();
button.add_event_listener( move |_: ClickEvent| {
for anchor in document().query_selector_all( "#main a" ) {
js!( @{anchor}.style = "display: none;"; );
Design goals
- Expose a full suite of Web APIs as exposed by web browsers.
- Try to follow the original JavaScript conventions and structure as much as possible, except in cases where doing otherwise results in a clearly superior design.
- Be a building block from which higher level frameworks and libraries can be built.
- Make it convenient and easy to embed JavaScript code directly into Rust and to marshal data between the two.
- Integrate with the wider Rust ecosystem, e.g. support marshaling of structs which implement serde's Serializable.
- Put Rust in the driver's seat where a non-trivial Web application can be written without touching JavaScript at all.
- Allow Rust to take part in the upcoming WebAssembly (re)volution.
Getting started
WARNING: This crate is still a work-in-progress. Things might not work. Things might break. The APIs are in flux. Please do not use it in production.
Add an asmjs target with rustup:
$ rustup target add asmjs-unknown-emscripten
Install cargo-web; it's not strictly necessary but it makes things more convenient:
$ cargo install cargo-web
Go into
examples/todomvcand type:
$ cargo web start

Closed Down At The Heart Level
Carol from New Zealand left an unhappy marriage and reconnected with a lover from University.
Both she and her new partner had a lot of upset from their past relationships to overcome. Their emotions clouded their desire for each other. It manifested in ways such as performance anxiety in the bedroom.
Just from reading my email advice, Carol realized the place to start to find the kind of soulmate pleasure was through connecting their hearts.
Instead of focusing on the physical, they practiced feeling love for each other. Carol said she had to retrain herself to feel the love in her heart again after being closed down for so many years.
She's 66 years old now and together they are, "exploring every aspect of ourselves and needs."
"I now know how to connect to his heart and that has done the trick."
Now they are having mutual, simultaneous climactic experiences during lovemaking.
As I've always said, I think the pinnacle of intimacy for man/women partners is this simultaneous moment of pleasure where two become one… where your pleasure feeds their pleasure in one beautiful circle of joy and connection.
This ultimate man/woman pleasure is a learned skill. We may be born with the ability, but we must practice achieving bi-directional, heart-soaking loving.
Everyone has emotional baggage of some sort. It's the human condition.
What I love about these late-in-life turn around stories like Carol's is that she believed in what I was saying —that the path to sexual soulmates is through the door of the heart.
Opening your heart door allows love to flow out. When you let that love flow to another you begin to feel the love you crave. The easiest path to surrendered pleasure is through the portal of love: your heart.
We all have anxiety around intimacy. The best solution is to open your heart's door and express love. Anxiety comes from worrying about the future or the past. Love is felt in the moment. Love is a practice of presence.
Once you can really LOVE another, you take the next step. When you feel your love flowing for someone, it is from this point you begin to practice receiving love.
Receiving love is the second step in setting up the circle of love flowing both into and out of each of you.
It's never too late. And step one is to begin loving someone. If you do not have someone to love, start looking. There are millions of souls out there who want to be loved by you.
And if you do have someone to love, see if you can create a circle of giving and receiving —feeling the love flow from both directions.
Then send a bit of love through the universe to me today. Because as I write this wonderful story of Carol's expansion both emotionally and sexually, I'm thinking about you and how much I appreciate you being in my world. I'm radiating love from my heart to yours right now.
Can you feel it?
Be like Carol and take in all the wonderful advice we have for you ♥

Our Patron Saint
Saint Spyridon the Wonderworker (Ο Θαυματουργός)
Feast Day: December 12th
Apolytikion Hymn, First Tone
O Father, God-bearer, Spyridon, you were proven a champion and Wonder Worker of the First Ecumenical Council. You spoke to the girl in the grave and turned the serpent to gold. And, when chanting your prayers, most sacred One, Angels ministered with you. Glory to Him Who glorified you; glory to Him Who crowned you; glory to Him Who, through you, works healing to all.
Kontakion Hymn, Second Tone
Wounded by your love for Christ, O holy One, your mind given wings by the radiance of the Spirit, you put the practice of theory into deeds, becoming a sacred altar, O chosen by God, and praying for the divine illumination of all.
The history of the island is closely associated with St. Spyridon, the patron Saint of Corfu, who was a Cypriot bishop born in 270 AD. He took part in the First Ecumenical Synod in Nicaea (325 AD), where he gave his miraculous testimony in the disputed doctrine of the Holy Trinity. During the last years of his life he performed a great number of miracles, which was the reason why people considered him a Saint before his death.
For over a 100 years after his death, sweet-scented exhalations were perceived emanating from his tomb, until the local churchmen dug it up and found his body intact. The holy remains were kept in Cyprus for over 300 years. In the second half of the 17th century the Saint's body was carried to Constantinople, until the fall of the city to the Turks in 1453. Shortly after the Turkish conquest, the priest George Kalochairetis carried off the body of the Saint, together with that of Saint Theodora and he brought them to Corfu in 1456. Since that year St. Spyridon has never ceased to be the object of devout veneration by the faithful.
There are four annual processions taking place in Corfu in remembrance of four miracles wrought by the Saint. These were first established during the period of Venetian rule and are still held every year.
The great Palm Sunday procession commemorates the miraculous deliverance of the island from a deadly plague and comes second in order of antiquity. In 1629 Corfu was stricken by the plague. The inhabitants of the island gathered in despair in St. Spyridon's church and prayed to the Saint for salvation. From that day the number of deaths was reduced. At the same time a light, like that of a small lamp, was observed by the night sentinels of the Old Fortress. By Palm Sunday the epidemic was over and this was ascribed to the miraculous interception of the Saint.
The Easter Saturday procession, first held in the second half of the 16th century, commemorates the relief of the island from famine and is the oldest of the four. It is combined with the Orthodox ritual of carrying the 'Epitaphios', a gilt bier representing the body of Jesus Christ being borne to the grave. This custom dates back to 1574, when the Venetian Senate prohibited the Greek Orthodox procession of the 'Epitaphios' taking place on Good Friday. That's why, the procession was moved from Good Friday to Easter Saturday, exclusively for the church of St. Spyridon. After the procession the Saint's body is exposed for three days for general worship. The story of the procession dates back to the middle of the 16th century. According to the legend the inhabitants were suffering from famine. Unexpectedly on Easter Saturday, ships loaded with flour sailed into Corfu harbor. They were sailing past the island and had been diverted by St. Spyridon, who appeared in one of the captain's dreams and told him to change their course and sail at once to Corfu because the population was starving.
The third procession is held in 11th of August in remembrance of the Saint's deliverance of the island from the Turkish siege in 1716. The legend of the Saint mentions that St. Spyridon appeared to the enemy holding a flashing sword and pursuing them. After the procession the Saint's body is exposed for general worship for three days and two nights. The procession was first held in 1717.
The last of the processions of St. Spyridon is that on the first Sunday in November in commemoration of the miraculous interception of the saint in saving Corfu from a deadly plague. The plague was first identified in the suburbs and soon spread all over the town. Then suddenly at the end of October it stopped after bringing death to thousands. For three nights a light was seen in the bell-tower of St. Spyridon's church and the figure of the Saint appeared carrying a cross driving the plague away. At the request of the people of Corfu, the Venetian Governor allowed the procession to be held every year on the first Sunday in November.
The silk slippers which clothe the feet of the relics of St. Spyridon, the "Walking Saint," wear out each year and are replaced on his feast day. One of these such slippers was presented to St. Spyridon Church on December 12, 1954. The slipper was given to parishioner Alexander Demessianos in Greece as a gift to the Newport church. Today the slipper is still treasured in the Church of St. Spyridon.
As the Patron Saint of our Newport Greek Orthodox Church, Saint Spyridon's icon adorns our iconostasis (εικονοστάσι), on the second panel to the left of the altar. We are blessed to have one of Saint Spyridon's slippers on display in a glass case in our church, and each Sunday the Apolytikion of Saint Spyridon is sung during liturgy.
On December 12th, our parish celebrates the feast day of Saint Spyridon and each year around this time the Metropolitan joins us for Liturgy and fellowship during a coffee hour in special recognition of our Patron Saint.

Immediately after the launch of Subhub in mid January, the QED Naval team succeeded in another major achievement which was the approval and certification of the Subhub to conduct towing operations in UK waters from the Marine Coastguard Agency (MCA).
The final certification was provided by Captain Danny Hawkins from the MCA Bangor, Northern Ireland. This was the culmination of many months work by the QED Naval team and the Marine Warranty Surveyors (MWS) used, Prolines based in Waterford, Ireland.
The certification from both MCA and MWS for the load line exemption and sailing condition survey was sent immediately to Belfast Harbour Commission and our insurance company and this was the final part of the authorisation for towing out of Belfast Harbour.

The fumes are bothersome. Is it safe to use a dust extractor to suck the fumes away? Or would the fumes just be more widely dispersed thru the shop, since the filters are inside the shop?
Inhalation of significant amounts of the fumes can result in major irritation of the airways, which can persist for several days. Hoarseness and coughing can be painful.
Don't ask me how I know. Mine came from using it as a finish on a small bowl, even with the shop door open I got a strong dose in a few seconds - on the way out! Remember the basic premise of toxicology - the dose makes the poison (believe it was Paraclesus (sp?) who figured that out about 1500 years ago).

Three-ball is a folk game of pool played with any three standard pool object balls and cue ball. The game is frequently gambled upon . The goal is to pocket the three object balls in as few shots as possible.Theoretically, any number of players can participate, in rotation, but more than five can become unwieldy. The game involves a somewhat more significant amount of luck than either nine-ball or eight ball, because of the disproportionate value of pocketing balls on the break shot and increased difficulty of doing so. In some areas and subcultures, such as the Asian-American youth-dominated pool hall scene of San Francisco, California, three-ball is a popular local tournament game

Whether seen on HBOs Treme or at their legendary Tuesday night gig at The Maple Leaf, Grammy-winning Rebirth Brass Band is a true New Orleans institution. Formed in 1983 by the Frazier brothers, the band has evolved from playing the streets of the French Quarter to playing festivals and stages all over the world. While committed to upholding the tradition of brass bands, they have also extended themselves into the realms of funk and hip-hop to create their signature sound. Rebirth can be precise whenever it wants to, says The New York Times, but its more like a party than a machine. Its a working model of the New Orleans musical ethos: as long as everybody knows what theyre doing, anyone can cut loose...

Nevada basketball's run to the 2018 Sweet 16 was no fluke: Head coach Eric Musselman is building a program capable of perennial contention.
That's the takeaway from Friday's news that Musselman landed a commitment from 5-star prospect Jordan Brown, a 6-foot-10 forward from California. With Brown's pledge, the Wolf Pack currently have more 5-star recruits in the fold for 2018 than such noteworthy names as Arizona (which was a finalist for Brown), Michigan State, Syracuse, Purdue — and certainly more 5-stars than your average mid-major.
Now, the mid-major label is one applied to the Mountain West Conference with necessary disclaimers. Despite sending just one team to the NCAA Tournament in 2016 and 2017, the Mountain West routinely landed multiple bids from its inception in the 1998-99 season through 2015. What's more, the MW was demonstrably better than the Pac-12 as recently as 2012 — and with the Pac's dismal showing in 2018, the potential for the Mountain West to surge ahead of its regional counterpart exists.
In the same way consistent success has allowed Gonzaga to shed the mid-major label for all intents and purposes, any Mountain West program has the foundation to do the same. San Diego State appeared poised for such distinction, and the Aztecs' run to the 2018 Tournament positions a veteran roster for a resurgent 2019. A worthy rival for the immediate and long-term future only furthers the lofty potential for Nevada basketball.
Nevada reached the Sweet 16 this past March with Eric Musselman running the show, and behind a core trio of twins Cody and Caleb Martin, and versatile Jordan Caroline. The first major offseason victory came with Musselman's decision to stay, despite his being a favorite name bounced among pundits for openings. Keeping a successful head coach is the first building block for non-traditional programs: VCU lost both Shaka Smart and Will Wade, and George Mason saw Jim Larranaga exit for Miami.
Nevada's experienced the devastation of a successful coach leaving. Trent Johnson coached the Pack to their last Sweet 16 before 2018, and Mark Fox left shortly after coaching Nevada to its last NCAA Tournament win. Xavier has proven a program can weather losing head coaches and still grow into a bonafide power, and Butler's beginning to follow suit in its transition from Brad Stevens to Chris Holtmann to LaVall Jordan.
But both Xavier and Butler benefited from conference realignment and the name-brand of the Big East. While the Mountain West is ahead of the typical mid-major, its closest parallel is the Atlantic 10. Keeping Eric Musselman around Reno is the most reliable course to achieving sustained success and power designation.
Suitors from athletic departments with deeper pockets will come, but they can be thwarted. Gonzaga proved it with Mark Few continuing to helm the program and leading it within a few plays of a national championship just two season ago.
Gonzaga's run to the Final Four and national championship game marked a culmination to repeat success. Building off the initial buzz of two NCAA Tournaments and a Sweet 16 is essential for Nevada moving forward, and the Pack should do so in 2019.
I ranked Nevada No. 16 in my Athlon Sports Top 25 last month, with the caveat that returning a majority of its three-man core was crucial. Nevada's seen how difficult it can be to maintain when stars leave, going a decade between Tournaments after Nick Fazekas graduated.
While the Pack are better with the Martins and Caroline next season — perhaps even a preseason Top 10 — landing Brown is an important safety net. He joins an influx of transfer talent, part of a big-picture strategy Eric Musselman's already had success implementing. Microwave-shooter Ehab Amin announced his intent to spend a graduate transfer season in Nevada earlier this week. Another graduate transfer — Old Dominion post Trey Porter — declared his move to Nevada two weeks ago.
With or without the Martins and Caroline, Musselman is reloading. And the nation will take notice, which is vitally important.
National buzz plays a key part in expanding the brand name, scheduling high-profile nonconference games, and establishing a true powerhouse. But national buzz starts at the local level, and Reno is a perfect place.
Wolf Pack rival UNLV grew into one of college basketball's banner-carriers under head-coaching fixture Jerry Tarkanian during the 1980s. Runnin' Rebel games became the hottest ticket in Las Vegas, and national telecasts emanating from the Thomas & Mack Center gave off the aura of a big-time event.
Reno's quite a bit different from Las Vegas — it's not known as the Biggest Little City in the World for no reason — but it's a community that will embrace its local sports with fervor. On a family vacation to Lake Tahoe last summer, I couldn't help but notice that the Reno airport was decked out with memorabilia celebrating Wolf Pack sports, including a display case for former Nevada quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
I grew up attending basketball games at the University of Arizona in Tucson, a city comparable to Reno. Hoop heads in the Old Pueblo tout Tucson as "Basketball Town;" Reno has similar potential. Before you dismiss it, consider the electric atmosphere that permeates from basketball broadcasts in Spokane, Washington.

I know this gift guide for her is late, but in all honesty, Jonathan and I joke my whole blog is a gift guide, ha! However, many of you and a lot of my guy friends have been asking for this, so here goes nothing! Similar to Jonathan's gift guide, this will be great for all the women in your life, whether it's Mom, Mother in law, sister, best friend, coworker, you name it!
The Gifts that Keep on Giving
- Rent the Runway Unlimited – Honestly, one of the best things I've ever spent money on. Not only do I have an affinity for clothes I can't afford to buy yet but I love being able to mix it up. Rent the Runway will allow her to have a closet on the cloud, always getting something new. What started as a way to rent special occasion dresses and gowns now has clothes for every day. For the price, you get four items at a time and swap them out an unlimited amount of times. I get one at a time, so I can get about 15-20 items a month! I couldn't imagine a gift guide for her without this on it!
- Le Tote – Similar to Rent the Runway but has more of a selection of everyday clothes and includes workout wear! Le Tote also has maternity clothing. For the price, 10 items come in the box including accessories. You also have the option to buy the pieces you love for 50% off the retail price! The ones you don't like, return at the end of the month and get new items!
- Start a Wealth Management Account – Over the summer, I worked with SoFi to share how I'm planning for my future to be financially stable. SoFi helps with student loan refinancing, wealth management and so much more. Put in the minimum $100 to get her started or add more.
Books on Books on Books!
- In the Company of Women – An excellent compilation of interviews with incredible women. A personal favorite and way to inspire and motivate her whether she leaves it on her coffee table and reads one story a week or goes through it at once. There are stories and advice from more than 100 artists, entrepreneurs and creators.
- Homebody – What woman doesn't love Joanna Gaines!? This newest release will make any woman swoon and inspire her to make her house even more of a home. Regardless of decor style, Joanna has something for everyone. The moment I saw this, I had to have it, especially since we are moving and I'm looking to decorate our new space!
- Option B – Honestly, one of the most impactful books I've ever read. Sheryl Sandberg is a big inspiration as the COO of Facebook, a Mom and unfortunately, a widow. In this book, Sheryl gives actionable advice on how you can get through your worst obstacle and help you help your loved ones make it through the unimaginable. Without a doubt, a must on my gift guide for her.
- InstaStyle – The high priestess of Instagram, Tezza, shares how she built her empire and how you can too. A stunning read and perfect coffee table book, regardless of whether the woman in your life wants to be an Influencer or not, this will help inspire and help her to capture life beautifully.
- 52 Lists for Togetherness – A journal to help you connect with your loved ones. Definitely something on my wish list for the near future!
Tranquility Time
- Facial Mask – I love a good face mask on the weekends and use this three times a week. The woman in your life will thank you for renewed skin that's as soft as ever. It does feel like fire ants are eating your face but the soft skin you get on the other side will be worth it.
- Tiled Initial Mug – These mugs are always a hit! They are personal, beautiful and beautiful quality. Whether she drinks four cups of coffee, which transforms her into wonder woman, winds down at the end of the day with tea, or like me, oat milk at all times of the time, she'll love this.
- Super Soft Cardigan – An insanely soft cardigan she will never want to take off. Comes in tons of colors and runs true to size. A big plus for this is how it can be worn at work, casually and of course at home. It's basically like wearing a hug and who doesn't want that?
- Winter Cozy in a Candle – Imagine all the things you love about winter and how cozy it is. That's this candle. I buy at least one each winter and love to have it lit. A low-key gift on this gift guide for her but something she'll love and want to buy on her own.
- Lavender Spray – I use this on nights I feel stressed or too wound up to get to bed right away. All she needs to do is spritz a little on her pillow and she's ready for a great night's sleep.
Recharge & Ready
- Luxurious Eyemask & Pillowcase – My favorite eye mask hands down. The silk is absolutely luxurious and the pillowcase will help with a good night's sleep. Perfect for the woman who needs to get 20 million things done in a day. Or the woman who needs at least eight hours of sleep, that's actually me. Plus, a good night's sleep is important.
- Reversible Pom Throw – I like to think of this as a gift for everyone because this throw is something to share. It's beautiful, ultra soft and reversible. I have the gray and it is a permanent additio to my living room.
- Rose Quartz Roller – The perfect way for the woman in your life to wind down at the end of the day. This rose quartz roller is one of my favorites on this gift guide for her because it's probably something she doesn't have and won't think of. This will improve her skin because it pushes the skin care she has into her skin and makes it better.
- Foldable Ballet Flats – The feeling of taking off a painful pair of shoes and slipping on flats is like heaven. I own a pair of these travel ballet flats and they are a lifesaver. I actually brought this exact pair to Miss USA and would slip them on during rehearsal when I wasn't onstage. Once her feet are comfortable again, she's recharged and ready to take on the next task in her favorite heels!
- Feminine Bedding – A statement yet versatile and will last for years. The ruffles definitely make this bedding more on the feminine side. However, it's perfect for year round. Cool enough during summer and cozy enough for the winter!
Constantly Confident
- Chic Coat – My very first coat from this retailer and still one of my favorites. Perfect for any woman, it'll keep her warm and make her feel beautiful. 100 percent wool and comes in beautiful colors, this is a steal since it's on sale! She can throw this on over casual outfits, wear it to work or even over her cocktail dress for special occasions.
- Over the Knee Boots – Definitely a splurge gift but one she'll remember for years to come. My sister gifted me these in 2014 and they are still going strong. There are similar pairs out there but you get what you pay for. The SW pair is incredibly warm and so comfortable. I honestly couldn't get through winter without them. Similar pairs I love include this pair and this pair.
- Statement Earrings – Y'all know I love a good pair of statement earrings. These are stunning, unique and will go with practically any outfit. What I love about jewelry is anyone can wear it, regardless of age. Here is another pair I love.
- Curls for Days – Hands down my favorite curling iron and a must on this gift guide for her. This curling iron is not only beautiful but will give her beautiful curls, whether she has long hair, short hair or it's an in-between length. What woman doesn't want soft beautiful curls reminiscent of Victoria Secret Angels?!
- Beautiful Eyes – Help her make those beautiful eyes pop even more with this must-have eyeshadow palette. Chock full of stunning mattes and shimmers, this item on my gift guide for her will last months, if not years and she's sure to thank you for it!
- Wrap Coat – Another stunning coat that's incredibly versatile. I have the greyish beige color and it goes with everything! Also available in black as well. This fits true to size, has a flattering silhouette and will make her look stunning.
Feeling Fit
- Workout Kit – I have never loved workout gear like this. Made by women for women, the fit and feel of this brand is unlike any other. Trust me, she'll be hooked and you will be too! The fabric is absolutely incredible and is ultra soft, yet performs and holds up under any situation. Probably my favorite recommendation on this gift guide for her!
- Better Sweater – Warm, cozy and stylish. What more could you ask for in a sweater? I love the half-zip which allows her to bundle up or relax a bit. This is what I reach to when the temperatures get frigid as it's perfect for layering and is sure to keep her nice and toasty!
- Sweet Kicks – My favorite pair of tennis shoes. So much so, I own them in four colors, which honestly might be a bit much. They are light, springy and make you feel like you're walking on clouds. Yet, despite all of this, they are a great training shoe, perfect for running, hiking all the way to just heading to the grocery store. If she loves sneakers, I also recommend this leather pair, perfect for streetwear.
- Sleek Jacket – Get rid of the bulk and stay sleek in this stunning workout jacket. All the stretch you could want with a modern silhouette. Comes in plenty of colors but I'm eyeing the pink and beige.
All the Pretty Things
- Divine Perfume – This is my favorite scent and I know she'll love it too! It's just the right amount of floral, sweet but not overbearing. Not to mention the bottle is just exquisite. Definitely a great gift!
- Jewelry Box – What I love about this jewelry box is it's as beautiful as the jewelry she'll put in it. White and gold will look beautiful in any space she puts this in and it'll put her jewelry on display making sure she sees each piece she has and can wear them out!
- Makeup Bag – My absolute go-to fo keeping my makeup with me all day and when I travel. The smaller size fits in my backpack and purse for everyday use. The larger size holds all of my beautiful essentials for when I'm jet-setting somewhere. Available in plenty of stunning colors. Get her monogram added and this is a must on this gift guide for her.
- French-Style Luggage – She's sure to look chic traveling with this French-style luggage. Available in white with cognac or brown with cognac. I've had this luggage for more than a year and it still looks stunning! The white exterior wipes clean with a damp cloth so it'll look beautiful for years. We took this set to PyeongChang for the Winter Olympics and it came back the same way we sent it in.
- Leather Phone Case – The possibilities are endless with this phone case! Add a fun heart, change up the font, swap out the colors, make it personal and she's sure to love it!
Crazy Rich Asians
- The Handbag – The current it bag that's sure to make her eyes light up! What I love about this bag is its size for the price. It's small enough for events and dressy social gatherings but roomy enough for every day.
- The Heel – Every woman needs a pair of red-bottom shoes. This item on my gift guide for her will turn heads, so be prepared! These are also pretty comfortable and will give her at least a few hours before the aches that come with every pair of heels start to settle in.
- The Headphones – Noise-cancelling headphones changed my life and I want them to change her's too! Wires are so 2014 and these will ensure she can be on the move but still rock out to her favorite song or learn with her favorite podcast.
- The Belt – Make a statement with this belt while accentuating the waist. I love how this belt is on the smaller side so it's not too gaudy or showy. Buy a slightly bigger size so she can wear with dresses, jeans, over coats and more.
- The Mirror – A stunning piece of furniture that'll make sure she looks stunning before heading out the door. Whether you get the smaller size for her vanity, medium for above the dresser or the floor length one, she's sure to dazzle over this exquisite piece.

NOH8 Campaign to Visit All Three Cascadia Cities This Weekend
This weekend the NOH8 Campaign will be hitting up the Major League Soccer cities of Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver!
Born out of the fight against Proposition 8 in California in 2008, the Campaign has photographed tens of thousands of folks from all walks of life standing up for marriage, gender, and human equality.
Portland defender Mike Chabala was the first MLS player to participate in the campaign when he was with Houston in 2010:
Here's their schedule:
Friday, May 4: Jupiter Hotel, Portland Oregon, 5 – 8 PM
Saturday, May 5: Renaissance Hotel, Seattle Washington, 2 – 5 PM*
Tuesday, May 8: Renaissance Hotel, Vancouver British Columbia, 5 – 8 PM
Click the links for more details on the events and help us in spreading the word.
Who will be the next in our soccer family to join Mike Chabala, Michael Lahoud, Justin Braun, Brian Dunseth, and Chris Wingert as NOH8 participants this week?
*(this shoot directly conflicts with a match, so while it would be great to get folks there, we won't be pushing it as hard as the others)

I spoke to the workmen, they said they weren't there to connect up the new houses, they were doing something unrelated. They didn't have any idea when that work would be done, told me that I should contact eircom, but when I do they won't tell me anything because I'm not an eircom customer, so I contact Vodafone who I've signed up with and they just tell me to contact eircom.
My parents are eircom customers I think, they can probably pretend to be moving.
