It's Easter time!
To celebrate this holy festivity, here comes an artisanal cake, similar to the Panettone, but specially created for Easter. It's called Colomba ("Dove" in English).
It was created in the 1930s by Dino Villani, Head of Advertising at Motta – a confectionary company in Milan. However, there are legends that trace this Easter cake back to the Longobard era, at the time of the Lombard king Alboino, who during the siege of Pavia (mid-sixth century) saw himself offering, as a sign of peace, a sweet cake in the shape of a dove, hence the Colomba.
Despite the legends, today the Easter Colomba spread on the tables of all Italians, and even beyond the borders of Italy. The original dough, made with flour, butter, eggs, sugar and candied orange peel, with a rich almond glaze, has subsequently taken on various forms and variations.
Our producer Brusa makes the Colomba according to the original recipe: high-quality ingredients, handmade and naturally leavened for 72 hours.

Football: Bromley ready for FA Trophy final against Brackley Town

Ravens tackle Saints at Wembley Stadium on Sunday
It looks set to be a huge weekend for Bromley as they gear up for their FA Trophy final against Brackley Town at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
The Ravens will look to win the competition for the first time by beating the Saints at the national stadium.
It is the first time in the south Londoners' history that they have reached the final of the FA Trophy, and the first time they will play at the new Wembley Stadium.
Neil Smith's men received a double boost leading up to the final, with keeper David Gregory and midfielder Jordan Higgs agreeing new deals with the National League side.
Gregory has been the undisputed number one for Bromley this term after joining last summer from Cambridge United.
And the 23-year-old stopper is looking forward to enjoying another good campaign at Hayes Lane.
"I'm really excited to have signed for another year, it's been what I've wanted to do since Christmas," Gregory told the club website.
"I was pleased to get plenty of games under my belt since joining last year, and I hope to continue that into next season."
Higgs was also a regular for Bromley last term and displayed his versatility by playing in a number of positions.
The midfielder will hope to play often for the Ravens next term, and Higgs says he is looking forward to what lies ahead.
"I'm happy to have signed again and be a part of the journey this club is on," he told the club website.
"I've come through the youth system here and it's been really exciting to see the progress the Club has made during that time. I'm confident the future is bright for Bromley."
Both Gregory and Higgs will hope they can play their part in some Wembley success for Bromley this Sunday.
The Ravens have beaten Hartley Wintney, Blyth Spartans, Workington, Spennymoor Town and Gateshead to reach the final at Wembley Stadium this Sunday.
With Bromley playing in the National League and Brackley from a division below in the National League North, the Ravens will start as favourites.
Smith will hope that does not make his side complacent as he bids to guide the Hayes Lane to silverware at the national stadium as Bromley chase a first ever FA Trophy to place in their cabinet.

Help Charli through Ketoacidosis
Hey everyone,
I got Charli 6 years ago and she's been super healthy up until 8 months ago. She was diagnosed with diabetes and we have managed it to the best of our ability, but her health has declined rapidly in the past week. She went from a healthy 58 lbs to 36 lbs in less than a year and it's really hard to see her so sick. Our recent visit with our vet proved to show she had Keto Acidosis, which can be fatal if not treated. She's still pulling through as I am feeding her and making her drink water. She's super lethargic, but I just spoke to the pet hospital and they said that if we can get her in there they can give her the insulin treatment she needs, but it'll will be $500/day plus the cost of special insulin, which is $200. I can cover partial of it, but I just don't make as much money as I used to. This could be up to 5 days.
It's really hard to deal with this sickness and I'll forever be grateful for any amount you'd be able to share. It's probably a long shot, but I really hope you can help and I'll be forever grateful.
All the love,
Alexa and Charli B.

Isa Muazu 'in UK after flight turned back from Nigeria'
- Published
A Nigerian man said to be "near death" following a hunger strike is back in the UK after the Home Office flight deporting him had to turn around.
Lawyers for Isa Muazu, who has refused food for "over 100 days", said he was back at Harmondsworth detention centre.
It is thought the Nigerian authorities did not clear the plane to land.
Mr Muazu sought asylum in the UK saying he would be killed by Islamic extremists back in Nigeria. Labour said the government had questions to answer.
The Home Office rejects his arguments and attempted to deport the 45-year-old on Friday after he lost a series of legal challenges.
The privately-chartered jet carrying Mr Muazu was in the air for a number of hours, but it is believed the Nigerian authorities did not give the pilot landing rights. It is unclear why.
The plane is thought to have stopped in Malta for two hours before returning to the UK.
His lawyers say he has returned to the medical wing at Harmondsworth.
The Home Office refused to comment on the latest developments, but it is understood officials are working with the Nigerian government to try to secure Mr Muazu's removal.
Hunger strike
He has been held in detention since he claimed asylum in July, saying he faced persecution from the hardline Islamic group Boko Haram.
Mr Muazu entered the country on a visitor's visa in July 2007 and stayed without permission after it expired in January 2008.
It is believed he then found work in south-east London and was detained on the day he claimed asylum, 25 July this year.
Duncan Lewis Solicitors, representing Mr Muazu, said his case was then fast-tracked and his application was rejected in August.
They said he had made himself "seriously ill" in his protest, adding: "His hunger strike lasted for over 100 days".
A claim that his detention was unlawful was rejected by the Court of Appeal on 25 November, and two further last-minute appeals were also refused, his lawyers said.
Shadow immigration minister David Hanson said Home Secretary Theresa May needed to "explain how this case has been handled".
"How could the Home Office put a man in this medical condition on a long flight at taxpayers' expense with no agreement from anyone that the plane could actually land?
"Deportations should be carried out with competence and humanity - neither of those things seem to have happened in this case."
And Lord Roberts, a Lib Dem peer, told the Observer newspaper he had seen Mr Muazu on Tuesday "when a doctor had judged him too ill to fly".
"Goodness knows what state he must be in now, the poor man," the peer said. "He needs hospital treatment.
"[Home Secretary Theresa May] has caused immense harm to one individual and spent an extraordinary amount of taxpayers' money.
"I hope there will be no question of sending this poor man away again."
The paper says when the plane landed he was "was taken off by stretcher".
The Nigerian is 5ft 11in (1.8m) tall, weighs eight stone (53kg) and has described himself as "looking like a skeleton", his lawyers have said.
He has said that he came to the UK "for a better life" and would "rather die" than face removal.

This blog post will explain what Twitter lists are, how they work and some good ways of using them to benefit your Twitter activity.
When you open up Twitter on your PC or smartphone the homepage is never ending! The chances are that you are probably following more than 100 people and 100 active Twitter users have a lot to say! Your homepage is therefore full and updating constantly with content from all the people you follow. Heck, from just when I started to type this article I have missed 32 tweets!
Twitter lists help you to organise your followers better. You can use Twitter lists to put all of your followers into certain 'categories' that you choose. This way you only see tweets from people you want to. You might choose to create a list of your customers, your suppliers and another one for your influencers. You will then get the option to make the list public or private – you don't want all your followers to be looking at all of your customers and suppliers!
How do I create a Twitter List?
Head to www.twitter.com and go to your profile. From your profile click on Lists, click on Create New list; give your list a name and description. You will then get the option to make your list public or private. If your list is public anyone can subscribe and if it's private it's only accessible to you.
How to add people to a list?
When you are on a profile, click on the overflow icon or 3 dots and click on 'add' or 'remove from lists'. You can also remove people from your lists here.
When you have added your followers to your groups you can then head to your lists to keep track of tweets much easier!

Save the Date by Jenny B. Jones
"...smart, sassy reading for anyone who enjoys curling up with a good book with lively characters, who are perfectly flawed, clumsy, and quirky."
Whenever I read a novel there are three things I want—strong characters, witty dialogue, and a good plot. And Jenny B. Jones is an author I can count on to deliver. Her latest book, Save the Date, boosts a rich cast of characters, a charming romance, and a plot that twists and turns like an old country road. You enjoy the drive, but, man you weren't expecting the cow in the middle of the road. It's funny and memorable.
Jones' latest heroine, Lucy Wiltshire, is a compassionate 30-something who works at a non-profit shelter for girls aging out of the foster care system. When financial ruin is about to close Caring Hands for good, Lucy is desperate to find a way to save the house. Alex Sinclair, former football player, and heir to the Sinclair Enterprise fortune needs a gimmick to get him the votes he needs to win his bid for Congress. Alex offers Lucy the keys to Caring Hands and in exchange, Lucy is to be Alex's pretend fiancée until after the election. Lucy saves her non-profit and Alex gets his Congressional seat.
Besides lying to all their friends and family, there's another problem with Lucy and Alex's plan—they can't stand each other. In true Jenny Jones style, Lucy and Alex have some hilarious spats, throw out zingers, and yet they somehow make a great couple. Of course, Jones doesn't just focus on Lucy and Alex. Characters from both Lucy and Alex's lives add charm and dimension to this book, which delves deeply into the emotional and spiritual lives of both character. In fact, I found myself more attached to the characters in Save the Date than in Jones' previous book, Just Between You and Me.
I really enjoyed Jenny B. Jones latest book, Save the Date. It's spunky, yet it has depth beyond simple chick lit. The themes running through the book are many—regret, heartbreak, loss, pain along with the hope that can be found in God. Many of the characters are fighting mistakes and fears from their pasts, which threaten their futures. Jones effortlessly weaves spiritual insight into her book through sermons, private thoughts, and conversations; but not in a fake, cheesy way.
Save the Date is smart, sassy reading for anyone who enjoys curling up with a good book with lively characters, who are perfectly flawed, clumsy, and quirky. You know, people who are like us, but wittier.

Hello Community,
I want to share a small pattern that discovers SSL Certificates used by "Apache Tomcat Application Server", "Apache Webserver" and "IBM Websphere Application Server" and creates a Detail node linked to the SoftwareInstance (always on the SI, not at the Website SoftwareComponent for Apache Webserver).
A syncmapping is included to sync the created Detail node to BMC_Document.
My Intention for that was to ensure that we can track the start- and expiredate for certificates.
That pattern triggers on created or confirmed Tomcats and WAS that have the listen_ssl_tcp_sockets attribute set and on every Apache Webserver (I'm sorry for that greedy trigger).
It then checks for and uses the openssl binary to get the related information from the certificate.
It tries to get the Common Name, SHA256 Fingerprint, Start Date (notBefore) and End Date (notAfter) from the certificate.
Theoretically that approach should work for every sofware that has its ssl ports discovered.
This is what gets created inside the cmdb:
It creates a BMC_Document CI and a relationship to the related tomcats.
Cases that are already tested:
- Single Certificate used by one Tomcat with one SSL Connector defined
- Single Certificate used by multiple Tomcats with one SSL Connector defined per SI
- Single Certificate used by one/multiple Apache Webservers
- Single Certificate used by one/multiple Websphere Application Servers
Cases that are untested:
- Single/Multiple Certificates used by one Tomcat with multiple SSL Connectors defined
- Single/Multiple Certificates used by multiple Tomcats with multiple SSL Connectors defined per SI
Hopes and Wishes from the Community:
- Everyone who could test that against jboss, nginx, an ldap server providing a ldaps port and much more possible "ssl socket providers" would be great
- Windows support, sadly Windows does not have an easy way to use the "which" or "openssl" command
I hope that we can improve that together.
Feel free to change the name or the tree path inside the tpl as you wishes.
Changes inside the new attachment:
- CTI, Model, Manufacturer added to sync and made configurable
That should make it a lot easier to normalize and reconcile the CIs to the Asset
- Configurable "triggers", SI types may be excluded without editing the patterns
- added support for IBM Websphere Application Server and Apache Webserver
- sync based on Detail type and not SI type
- moved certificate creation to a function and changed the CN regex to be more reliable
Kind regards

To Removers of Monuments
Those impassive, silent guardians – will their gaze no longer shame you?
Have they been forever banished? Are you sure?
Can you finally stroll in comfort streets bereft of all reminders?
Is their valor gone, as if it never were?
Spiteful children! Did it gall you that someone so loved, respected these,
Enough to raise their monuments on high—
And you know you've never earned any respect, and never will,
And your blog will be deleted when you die?
"Ingrate, vandal, ignoramus,
Meddler, coward, bully, fool"—
Those are titles your pedestal might bear,
Were your legacy preserved, beyond the web and your own minds –
But I doubt it will last too long even there.
Should President Trump be faulted for his response to the tragedy in Charlottesville, Virginia? In the aftermath of a clash between protesters and counter-protestors, a nasty ragtag group of extremists on both sides, the president said, "We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides." He concluded, "My administration is restoring the sacred bonds of loyalty between this nation and its citizens, but our citizens must also restore the bonds of trust and loyalty between one another. We must love each other, respect each other and cherish our history and our future together." Then he denounced the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis by name, while calling white supremacists "repugnant to all that we hold dear as Americans."
How could anyone raise an objection to this? And yet a firestorm erupted among those who sought to make political mileage out of the tragedy. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), always a reliable barometer of the politically correct, thundered, "The president's talk of violence 'on many sides' ignores the shameful reality of white supremacism in our country today, and continues a disturbing pattern of complacency around such acts of hate." An echo chamber of pundits and politicians insisted that the loss of life and the disorder in Charlottesville was encouraged by the president himself.
Charlottesville's mayor, Michael Signer, a Democrat, declared, "I'm not going to make any bones about it. I place the blame for a lot of what you're seeing in America today right at the doorstep of the White House and the people around the president." This may have been a veiled reference to the president's strategic advisor, Stephen K. Bannon, often wrongly and unjustly smeared as one sympathetic to white supremacists.
Here, as is so often the case with this president and the media, Trump had a much better handle on reality than did his critics. He understood that what was going on in Charlottesville was more than a detestable white supremacy, but a breakdown in our sense of common bonds of citizenship.
What sparked the original protest was a decision by Charlottesville to remove a statute of General Robert E. Lee, and we've come to a sad pass where any attempt to defend Lee can be labelled as the work of white supremacists. Not so long ago, Lee was recognized as a hero by both North and South, a man who was offered the command of the Union forces, and who had been the superintendent of West Point. He regarded slavery as an evil, but he makes a convenient target for the ideologues of the Left who seek to weaponize history.
"I think continually of those who are truly great," wrote Stephen Spender. And Lee was one of these. He fought to defend what he regarded as native land—Virginia—from attack, and throughout the United States there are many who admire his military prowess, his religious piety and his effort to effect a reconciliation between North and South after the war. To seek to obliterate his memory, is an act of hate itself. It also reeks of self-serving historical amnesia, a demand for cheap grace, for absolution for past wrongs that are American wrongs. The truth is, we we all share the guilt of America's sins.

Masters of Public Health
While a Yale undergraduate in 2017, Chaney Kalinich interned at the Dengue Branch of Puerto Rico's Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in the aftermath of a Zika outbreak. While there, Chaney processed data through ArcGIS, a satellite mapping program providing data for the CDC to better understand how the virus and other mosquito-borne illnesses spread.
As goalkeeper for Yale's varsity field hockey team, Chaney wanted to stay in shape for her teammates back home at Yale – leading her to play for the Puerto Rican National Women's Field Hockey Team. A moped accident caused severe injuries, requiring her immediate return to the United States. After surgery and almost a year of rehabilitation Chaney returned to the Puerto Rican National Team, tending goal during their Bronze Medal win in the International Field Hockey Series Open Tournament.
During her final year as an undergraduate, besides playing field hockey Chaney completed completed her Masters of Public Health degree, specializing in Epidemiology. She has returned to the CDC in Puerto Rico to perform Genomic Epidemiology research, and to train with the National Field Hockey Team.

Thailand Tech Startup Association (TTSA) in an open letter, has called for supporting Thai products and services, plus financial aid scheme for startups because high percentage of the startup sector is poised to starve as the capital and revenues dry up.COVID-19
Up to 80% of the local startups are struggling financially with revenue drying up in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, consequently some have to lay off staffs or pay cut, according to the TTSA President Panachit Kittipanya-ngam, at a Facebook Live press conference, in the recently online presence of representatives from over 60 members.
He said local startups want to survive and to be an integral part of the country's digital economy, by providing products and services that could speed up digitalisation in both the public and private sectors.
Support for local startups would mean valuable data would be kept in the country, he said.
A key problem is that capital and revenue is drying up and they can sustain for only next 3-5 months them is drying up, because the startups' high fixed cost is the wages of staffs and these high skilled workers received an average 50,000 baht in monthly salary.
However, the financial support operated by the government did not suit the nature of startup business causing them an obstacle for financial loan assist. The business of startups so far has focused on investment and their operations mostly have been yet profit so the association asked for the credit criteria that take into account their growth potential.
He said local startups is an integral part of the country' s digital economy, driving Thailand 4.0 by providing products and services that could speed up digitalisation in both the public and private sectors as well the general public.
The TTSA had submitted an open letter to policymakers keeping the ecosystem of startups based on three standpoints.
Firstly, the public should play a part supporting startups by purchasing products or services provided by startups. Not just the public sector, but also the private and general public can opt for business solutions and services made by startups. "We would like to see the collaborative support of locally made and locally used action."
Secondly, the financial supporting measures in terms of grants and loans to preserve the companies' liquidity.
Finally, the government should deliver tools to boost the investment and "merger and acquisition" among startups with large businesses, investors and venture capitals.
"We believe that in the post Covid-19 world, digitization will accelerate driving Thailand 4.0 faster. Having the local platform means valuable data will be kept in the country," he said.
According to Patai Padungtin, first and former president of the TTSA, local startups in many sectors of tourism, event organizers and services were affected by the global pandemic crisis and were trying their best to adjust their business to survive, but their incomes so far could not compensate the loss.
Unless an urgent support by the government, the startups cannot survive, only half of total startup sector will be left and will cause a serious problem to the overall economy. The foreign platforms with high capital will take advantage and dominate the market in Thailand at the post Covid-19.
Another former head of the TTSA, Vachara Aemavat, said some countries, such as South Korea, imposed a digital boundary for foreign operators, to groom domestic startups. If there is only foreign platforms left, the market will then be dominated by foreign players who will have the power to control prices of products and services, as the case of increasing gross profit of food delivery platform.

(NEW YORK) — A Wrinkle in Time director Ava DuVernay says part of her job was to create the right environment for the cast to be able to explore the fantastical, time-and-space-traveling characters from the classic sci-fi novel.
The Oscar-nominated director told ABC's Good Morning America on Tuesday, "Part of it is creating an environment where everyone feels free and fun to explore their characters because people are pretending to be other people. It's awkward, sometimes, if you don't feel comfortable."
And because the film is based on a fantasy novel, DuVernay said she was able to cast the movie however she wanted.
"Fans of the book [are] embracing the idea of Meg [as a] different color than what people might have imagined in the books," she said of Storm Reid's character. "I just love that. It's time for everyone to see themselves in movies."
DuVernay cast Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling as the astral travelers who help guide Meg as she looks for her missing scientist father. She says the women brought "good spirits" and a "warm vibe on the set."
The director noted that the hardest part of her job was staying in tune with everyone on the production.
"There are hundreds of people that work to put those scenes together, so just making sure you're listening to everyone and [being] kind to everyone all the time, that's a big thing," she advised.
A Wrinkle in Time opens in theaters nationwide March 9. It's from Disney, the parent company of ABC News.

If that wasnt enough, he lands a right uppercut and left hand that floored Jackson again at the 35-second mark in the first round.

What a weekend I have had. Yes, the El Diablo tour continues. It was all fun and games last week, frolicking in the Atlantic and then playing a very fun gig with Life After Modelling (formerly known as Deputy Fuzz). But then on Saturday, we had to go to Drogheda to play an instore gig in a record shop.
Which turned out to be in a horrible tacky shopping centre.
That was bad enough, especially as the front of the shop was entirely open to the shopping centre and had no wall or door at all. At least, I thought, we can hide away at the back where the families pushing baby buggies and the skanky teenagers won't see us.
Then I noticed that the shop manager was directing us to put our amps and (scaled down) drum kit outside the shop, in the centre itself.
Yes, we had to put on the show outside the shop, in a shopping centre full of people who, it is safe to say, had no interest in Dublin country-hipsters. I genuinely thought I was going to cry with embarrassment. If I could have got away with it, I would have turned and run out of the building, but no, the show must go on, and so I lurked behind Patrick and Paul while bored shoppers strolled past us on their way into the knackery jeans shop next door. How could we compete with cheap jeans for the attentions of boys with gelled spiky fringes and Celtic jerseys? I have never, ever wanted the ground to open and swallow me up quite as much as I did during our opening song.
But after a while, something happened. I got so embarrassed I crossed some sort of embarrassment threshold, and the whole thing started to be funny rather than, you know, hideously mortifying. At one stage our audience consisted entirely of small children and their parents. The babies were obsessed with us, and bounced in their prams. The walking-age children danced. It was pretty cool, playing to the infant audience, even if they only liked us because they'd never seen a band before. So the magnificence (or shamelessness) of El Diablo transcended our hideous surroundings, and a jolly time was had by a;;. Or at least, the babies.
Next stop - Belfast! But I'll tell you about that later....

Agam's Gecko
Tuesday, May 06, 2008
ournalist Wei Si (a pseudonym - ed.) of Radio Free Asia's Mandarin service took considerable risk in posing as a tourist while collecting this report in Dawu County, Kardze prefecture, Kham (Ch: Sichuan). Wei Si travelled from Dartsedo to Kardze, around 400 kilometres.
Osser reported a demonstration on March 15 in this county, of several hundred monks and lay people shouting slogans and distributing leaflets.
This might be a translation of the script, I'm not sure: Monks want Dalai Lama to come home « RFA Unplugged.
"He is our greatest spiritual support," they said. "Only he knows how to manage the affairs of Tibetan Buddhism and of the Tibetan people." One lama took visitors into a prayer hall at the back of the temple, where a portrait of the Dalai Lama was on display. He said the Chinese authorities kept taking it down, but that every time they did so, the monks would put up another one. "After all," he said, "it only costs ten yuan," which is about one US dollar. There were several other photos of the Dalai Lama around the temple as well.
As far as these monks are concerned, there will always be hope that the Dalai Lama will return to live among his people. Even if the present Dalai Lama dies, they say, another one will arise to take his place. "Because of reincarnation, the Dalai Lama will always be with us," they say. "That is why we are still hopeful."

What's a girl to do?
I've been to Las Vegas several times and adore that hot city in the desert. Hubby, on the other hand, is not so keen. He's never been, isn't wooed by the emblematic Vegas experience that most Canadians are drawn to – the gambling, the shows, the shopping, and the food – so I know I need to get a little more creative in my persuasion.
Most people don't realize that there is a whole state beyond the strip that is begging to be explored and for outdoor enthusiasts like my husband, this may be the best reason to visit the city. Topographically, Las Vegas offers it all; from the desert, to the mountains, to water, there is enough to see and do close to the city that the strip will be the last reason we visit.
If your partner is like my husband, try luring them to Las Vegas with these five activities:
Visit the Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is one of the top ten most popular destinations in all of the United States and has made it onto many a bucket list. There are several different ways you could have the Grand Canyon experience—on the ground or in the air. The skywalk, completed in 2007, is a circular, glass path that stretches out towards the canyon. However, if your partner is afraid of open heights, you may switch to a ground tour or a helicopter ride to visit one of the natural wonders of the world. Depending on the entrance point you choose to visit the Grand Canyon, it is between 130-280 miles away—certainly easy enough for a day trip.
Hiking the Red Rock Canyon
With nearly twenty different trails to choose from, I'm sure both travellers could find something to love. The trails range in difficulty (from easy to strenuous) so with a little research, it would be simple for you to choose your trails depending on how you feel that day. You would also have the opportunity to take in desert life and see the colorful rock formations.
The Hoover Dam
If your partner is feeling particularly intellectual, perhaps a visit to the historical Hoover Dam may provide some perspective. Constructed in 1936, this massive gravity-dam is what feeds Lake Mead and is a major tourist attraction. Its history is somewhat controversial and the stories of its inception would be fascinating. The sight and sound of that crushing water may be all it would take to convince anyone to visit.
Lake Mead
However, maybe your partner won't be feeling too adventurous and would rather relax, lying on a beach in the sun. While there are exceptional swimming pools at the hotels on the strip where we could do this, the pools can be crowded and the scenery is, well, boxed in. Lake Mead, located only thirty minutes away from Las Vegas, is one of the largest manmade lakes in the world and offers a vast amount of recreational activities: beach lounging and swimming, hiking, and kayaking.
Racing in the desert
While being in the desert may not be a very appealing destination to some travellers because of its lack of scenery, it can still provide an exhilarating experience. For example, the Nellis Dunes are less than twenty miles north of the city where you can rent specialized dune buggies to rip around in the sand. The terrain is rugged which makes it an off-roader's dream. You can give your partner the chance to feel like Dale Earnhardt just for a little while.
Although my husband may not expect a trip to Las Vegas with me to be one of outdoor adventures, I'm sure I could keep him busy and happy with these unassuming, more nature-oriented plans.

YouTuber family 're-homed' adopted autistic child after they profited off him for years
via Myka Stauffer / YouTube
Over 13,000 people have signed a petition urging the Stauffer family to remove any videos of their former child, four-year-old, Huxley, from their monetized YouTube Channels.
The family adopted the boy from China in 2017, but in the late winter and early spring viewers began to notice that Huxley stopped appearing in any of the family's videos.

On Tuesday, the family released a video announcing they had placed Huxley with another family via an adoption agency. Huxley sufferers from autism and various health issues including brain damage.

  an update on our family  www.youtube.com

"With international adoptions, sometimes there's unknowns and things that are not transparent on files," Huxley's former adoptive father, James, says in the video. "There wasn't a minute that [we] didn't try our hardest," Myka added.

"Do I feel like a failure as a mom? Like, 500 percent," Myka says.

"There's not an ounce of our body that doesn't love Huxley with all of our being," Myka tearfully added. "There wasn't a minute that I didn't try our hardest and I think what Jim is trying to say is that after multiple assessments, after multiple evaluations, numerous medical professionals have felt that he needed a different fit and that his medical needs, he needed more."

The couple created 27 videos about their "adoption journey" including a 13-part series of "adoption updates" for YouTube. Myka's YouTube channel has over 700,000 subscribers and The Stauffer Family channel has over 300,000.

The large following was built predominantly on the adoption of Huxley and resulted in Myka becoming an international adoption advocate. The channel also brought in several lucrative sponsorships.

One that hasn't aged so well was a 2018 Instagram post sponsored by Dreft detergent featuring Myka and Huxley snuggling in front of a tub of laundry. "I love everything about this little boy and I wouldn't trade him for anything!" Myka writes.

 <div style=" background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr+JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgMhCAQBAf//42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YYXFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhLw7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zzgKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nYFnB/lQPb79drWOyJVa/DAvg9B/rLB4cC+Nqgdz/TvBbBnr6GBReqn/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I/fZou/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;">

Myka also claims that Huxley, a four-year-old with autism who suffers complications from brain damage, chose to leave the family.

"Huxley wanted this decision 100% we saw that in family time with other people, he constantly choose them and signed and showed tons of emotion to show us and let us know he wanted this," she wrote on Instagram.

The Stauffer's family's decision has angered many who feel the family abandoned the child after profiting from his adoption. It also begs the question: should parents be making videos of their children and posting them to YouTube for profit?

Myka Stauffer is really trying to paint a 4 year old autistic toddler as a monster and capable of making his own decisions while being nonverbal. make it make sense. pic.twitter.com/kaooyGfQ8K
— sip~ (@Callmesip) May 28, 2020

YouTuber Myka Stauffer adopted an autistic child FOR VIEWS/CONTENT and has now abandoned him.

She also BLAMES IT ON HIM saying he WANTS TO BE ABANDONED.

Autistic children are not props!! You can't traumatize kids for views!! I am so fucking FURIOUS at this repulsive behavior!! pic.twitter.com/uw96pHkowB
— Abby Sinister (@AbbyZinger) May 28, 2020

turning your family into entertainment is weird! relying on recordings of your children for income is weird!

I can't begin to imagine what's going thru these people's heads when they monetize their personal lives. It's gross.
— Emma Croft (@emma_kcr) May 28, 2020

A Change.org petition is quickly nearing its goal of 15,000 signatures to "Demand The Stauffers remove all monetized content ft. Huxley from their YouTube channel."

"He's done enough for the Stauffers," the petition reads. "He bought them a McMansion, multiple vacations a year, etc. What did he get in exchange? He got re-homed as if her were a freaking puppy!"

"Before anyone comes at me riddle me this...if any of The Stauffers' bio kids develop any mental disorders later on in life are they just going to re-home them too? Hell no!" the petition continues. "Huxley was expendable to these vile human beings. He no longer fits into their aesthetic so bye bye he goes."

While Stauffer's story is disturbing, there may be a silver lining. Hopefully, Huxley has found a family situation where he will be safe and have all of the care he needs to thrive.

How the state became the national leader in the field
Standing on the shoulders of others
In 2019 Victoria is unchallenged as Australia's State of Biomedical Research.
The state attracts around 40% of the total Federal Government investment in health and medical research. Victorian organisations employ approximately 25,000 researchers and clinicians working on biotech discoveries and treatments. The commercial biomedical sector employs another 21,000 people and generates more than $12.7 billion dollars in revenue every year.
Victoria's leadership is not an accident. It's the result of two decades of good public policy and good governance initiated by the Bracks' government and built on by subsequent administrations. Premier Steve Bracks and his Treasurer and Innovation Minister John Brumby understood that science and research are drivers of economic growth, so they developed the 1999 Science and Technology Initiative (STI). Backed by over $620 million, the STI supported biomedical, environmental, agricultural, manufacturing, design, and information and communication technologies across metropolitan and provincial Victoria over a decade.
The invisible hand of Victorian collaboration
One project backed by STI was the establishment in 2001 of Bio21 Australia Limited, a not-for-profit company with three founding members – the University of Melbourne, Melbourne Health and the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) – and a mission to support the development of nascent biotechnology discoveries. Quickly growing its membership from 3 to 15, the Bio21 Cluster (as it came to be known) helped break down organisational barriers and enabled Parkville-based researchers to better share facilities, networks and knowledge.
Despite being referred to as the 'invisible hand', the Bio21 Cluster actively and transparently managed a process that encouraged multiple partners to collaborate in a series of successful bids to secure STI funding for two 'Bio21 Developments' – the Bio21 Institute and the Joint Proteomics Facility – and six 'Bio21 Projects' – BioGrid, the C3 Collaborative Crystallisation Centre, and specialist facilities for NMR, human cellular diagnosis and therapy, high throughput chemical screening, and bioresources. Although STI funding concluded in 2006, all activities arising from the Bio21 Cluster process led to additional funding and proudly continue to support Victoria's biomedical sector.
A new era with BioMedVic
2014 saw the Bio21 Cluster transform into Biomedical Research Victoria (BioMedVic), a state-wide network and the premier voice for linking health and medical research to clinical care in Victoria. By fostering collaboration between research organisations across the state, BioMedVic sought to enable effective competition on the global scale.
On behalf of more than two-thirds of the scientists and clinicians in the state, BioMedVic advocates tirelessly to government for a long-term Victorian science and innovation plan that has bipartisan support, is overseen by a senior Minister and well-coordinated across departments.
BioMedVic contends that such a plan must be supported by continued investment through a dedicated fund (analogous to the STI), is focussed on areas in which Victoria is or could be a world leader and in which the clinical and economic benefits of innovation can be captured. Fund investment decisions should be recommended to the responsible Minister by a body comprising several experienced and independent members with successful track records in investing in medical research and its commercialisation, and whose experience is augmented by that of senior representatives from Treasury and the departments of Health and Innovation.
Today, BioMedVic's thinktanks facilitate the exchange of knowledge between key opinion leaders while our programs inspire the next generation of scientists.
The organisation bridges the gap between researchers and policy makers, and between researchers, industry and Victoria's world-class infrastructure through bodies including:
- Scientific Advisory Council;
- Hospital Research Directors Forum;
- Hospital Research Managers Subcommittee;
- Victorian Clinical Researcher Network;
- Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program;
- Research in Residence program; and the
- Victorian Platform Technologies Network.
Celebrating achievements and looking forward
Forums and programs such as these have produced new ways to collaborate across institutional boundaries, and have contributed to the growth of Victoria's vibrant and collegial biomedical research community. We are proud of our role in its success.
In 2019 there are research technology platforms everywhere and biomedical research in Melbourne has never been more integrated.
"This growth has, paradoxically, led to a decline in our membership over the past two years in line with the emergence of a complex and changing landscape of biomedical alliances in Victoria," says BioMedVic CEO, Jan Tennent.
"After an exhaustive exploration of options for a strategic response and with the best interests of the health and medical research community at heart, the Board decided that BioMedVic would cease operations at the end of 2019."
While its legacy of the past 20 years is evident, BioMedVic is currently planning to host a celebration of its many achievements that will include an opportunity to explore what the next two decades might hold for health and medical research in Victoria!

We insure
what matters to you
Let's discuss what insurance you need NOW
and a plan for what you might need in the future
Become part of the SMMA Family
And see why we are different
as part of the SMMA Family
Getting Started
First Meeting
The first meeting is a "let's-get-to-know-each-other" meeting. I really want to listen, take notes, and understand your situation.
What's most important is that you're in an environment that makes you comfortable.
I'm happy to sit down and talk with you in person or voice to voice. For example, would you like me to come out and see you? Would you like to come to our office? Would you like to talk over the phone? We can get together wherever is easiest and most comfortable for you.
We have some clients who just want to talk over the phone. If that's your situation, I don't want to be intrusive on your time. We can set a phone appointment, so I can call you at that time.
Some clients want me to come out and see them, while others want to see our office environment, so they come to our office.
What to Expect at the First Meeting
It's a get-to-know-each-other meeting. After we chat for 2 or 3 minutes and get comfortable and settled, we explore how I can help you.
Because you generally have an idea of what you already want to talk about, I'll let you start. Likely, that's why you're talking with me.
In order to understand what your coverage needs are, I do ask probing questions. As a result, I want to know more about your business. Are you leasing a building? Do you own the building? How many employees do you have, and are they W2 or 1099 employees?
At this stage, I'm not offering any recommendations or advice. My job is just to sit, listen, take notes, and really understand your situation.
Next Steps
Next, I map out a plan for the next meeting, because it's never a one-meeting process usually.
To clarify, whatever your case is, whatever you need, we will do for you on your behalf over the next few weeks. During that phase, we are going to go out to several different companies. Ultimately, we're going to give you some recommendations on coverage, some considerations.
Finally, we schedule another meeting to go over those with you, present you the offers, and give our coverage recommendations.
In summary, the first meeting is to get to know each other. My job is to be quiet, listen, take notes, really understand your situation and how we can help you. I give you an introduction and background to our firm and what our process is for the subsequent few weeks and what we are going to do. Finally, during the second meeting, we walk you through everything, and if we do have recommendations on coverage, we explain what those are.
Contact Mike
For any inquiries or questions, feel free to contact Mike with the contact form.
**Please note: If you are looking for an insurance quote or would like your insurance program reviewed, both are complimentary services at no charge.

Oracle of the spirits of the Nile resting place: New tourism destination
Dhaadha Budhagali Nabamba aka Donozio Namunkanga Mukembo Zirabamuzale, the famous traditional healer who looked after the spirits and ancestors of Bujagali Falls on the mighty River Nile in the great kingdom of Busoga, Eastern Uganda, passed away last week in Jinja. He had been ailing from diabetes and high blood pressure. Budhagali was chief Oracle of the spirits who resided at Bujagali Falls and the 39th successor to submit to the spirits of the falls, which were said to protect the community through Budhagali the spirit medium.
Godfrey Kabagambe, a spiritualist from Luuka district who doubles as the head of the "Baise Muvu" clan to which the deceased belonged, said that Budhagali was the oldest surviving traditionalist who thrived from a small shrine to fame.
Burial preparations
Rituals were performed in accordance with tradition upon his death. This comprised of sacrificing domestic animals as a requirement of awarding him a decent burial befitting his hierarchy in spiritualism. He was clad in bark cloth, and traditional healers pitched camp at the fallen Budhagali's home since his passing, performing rituals in his honor.
Budhagali was buried at his home in Budhagali village, Jinja district, where a mini library with selected historical texts shall be set up to promote both local and international tourism of their traditional faith.
Muyiiri Waiswa, a traditional healer from the Kamuli district described Budhagali as the only spiritualist who was diligently observing all the traditional norms of the spirits ranging from rock worshipping and animal sacrifice irrespective of his advanced age.
Safina Kauma, the Deputy Cultural Affairs Minister in the Butembe chiefdom, said that the deceased was a fountain of wisdom in the whole kingdom. Kauma instituted a committee of 22 people to plan and ensure a befitting send off.
In the beginning
Budhagali Nabamba was born to Thomas Nume in Kilimwa village, Bukooma sub-county, Luuka district, in 1914. He studied his elementary education in a missionary school up to primary 4 but dropped out to serve as an attendant in his father's shrine. He is later believed to have acquired the title of Budhagali Nabamba in 1961 after the overseer of the said spirits, abandoned them in the mid-1950s and fled to Bunyoro kingdom where he later passed away.
The longest river on the planet at 6,400 kilometers in length, the Nile has courted mystery, romanticism, and controversy alike from the times of ancient Egypt when it burst its banks annually, on to the treatise by Greek astronomer Claudius Ptolemy who in the 1st to 2nd Century AD sketched the source of the Nile to be the fabled mountains of the moon "lunae montes" to the 19th century "Scramble and partition of Africa: which played out in rivalries between the axis powers and the alliance powers culminating in World War I.
Today's times
In contemporary times, since Speke finally solved the mystery of the source of the Nile in Uganda 1862, several countries have laid claim to the source including Ethiopia, Rwanda, and now even Burundi.
Budhagali is said to occasionally have visited the underworld. Uganda Safari Guides Association member Isaac Tugume swears that while on a visit to the falls in his primary school, he saw the oracle sit and disappear underwater next to the rapids.
Budhagali famously opposed the construction of a hydroelectric dam on the Nile in alliance with the International Rivers Network (IRN), an International environmental organization based in Berkeley, California, arguing that at an astronomical cost of USD500 million, it would increase the debt burden on Ugandans. In the end, Budhagali had to compromise. Only after rituals were performed did he transfer his shrine. The construction of the dam has since submerged the falls and the cost of electricity has not reduced as projected.
The falls which was the original starting point for white water rafting since it was launched in 1996 has been submerged, and rafting has shifted downstream. And now, the Oracle has given up the ghost.
Budhagali was laid to rest on Sunday, November 3, 2019. He survived by one wife, Mastula Lukowe, and several children. A successor is yet to be named.

The classic Fibre Optic Desk Lamp has been re-imagined, Wheeler's Optic Fibre Lamp contains several LED lights and also a unique focusing lens that angles the light stronger into the bottom of the optical fibres.
The light slowly phases through multiple colours giving you a gentle mood lighting effect throughout the optical fibre strands.
The glitter in the base also transforms the light that's shown on the surfaces that you place this cool fibre optic light near.
To get this optical marvel of mood-light-awesomeness going simply place 3 x AAA batteries (not included) into the base and switch it on. The lamp will then start cycling through all the colours of the rainbow. Give it a shake to have the glitter swirl around for extra visual effects.

don't we all deserve levees that work?
New Orleans, LA (PRWEB) March 31, 2009
The failure of a river levee in N. Dakota has reminded the nation that levee failure and flooding is not a distinctly New Orleans problem or even a coastal problem.
Fargo, where a levee failure occurred in N. Dakota, is 900 feet above sea level. Many cities that flooded in the Midwest last June 2008 were also a substantial height above sea level.
"Here is yet another wake up call to how much of the population is vulnerable to the same sorts of problems experienced in New Orleans," says Sandy Rosenthal, Founder of Levees.org, a New Orleans based grassroots group formed after the devastating levee failures flooded the New Orleans area during Hurricane Katrina. The group is devoted to education on the dangers of unsafe flood protection.
Forty three percen t of the nation's population lives in counties protected by levees. And the most important levees - like those in New Orleans - are water projects designed and built by the federal US Army Corps of Engineers.
After the catastrophic levee failures that unleashed flood water in 80% of New Orleans and 100% of nearby St. Bernard Parish, the Chief of Engineers Carl Strock ordered a study of the hurricane protection system of New Orleans and the surrounding areas. That study, called the Interagency Performance Evaluation Task Force, composed of 80% Corps employees is still incomplete and the results are not expected until late April or early May.
"Meanwhile, almost half the nation's population could be in danger and not know it," says HJ Bosworth Jr, professional engineer and research director of Levees.Org.
Thirty nine of America's fifty largest cities lie partially in flood plains.
"This means that a significant portion of America's citizens may be in the same boat as New Orleans," says Rosenthal.
To help citizens understand the scope and nature of their vulnerability, Levees.Org created a searchable data base so citizens anywhere in the US could simply type in their zip code and find out if they are vulnerable to flooding. The website can be accessed by typing http://www.AreWeAtRisk.org
The site AreWeAtRisk is composed of levees identified by the USACE as being in a state of active failure. Twenty four remain accounted for. Fargo was not listed either because either it was one of the 24 vulnerable levees unaccounted for or it was not a federal levee.
After Katrina, the grassroots group levees.org has pushed for a truly independent bipartisan analysis of the flood protection failures. They enlisted the help of actor John Goodman and New Orleans resident to do a public service announcement closing with the words, "don't we all deserve levees that work?"

LEDs Lead a Lighting Revolution
It was 51 years ago this week that a GE scientist invented the first commercially viable LED light. Today, futuristic-looking LED lights are rapidly gaining popularity illuminating roads, offices and homes because they enhance visibility, reduce environmental pollution and consume substantially less electricity.
In today's world, where concerns about climate change are on the rise, LEDs offer an easy and economical way for everyone to reduce energy consumption. That's because LEDs use up to 75% less energy than incandescent sources, last up to 25 times longer than incandescent and halogen lights, and even compared to most compact fluorescent lights, LEDs last up to three times longer.
They also are cooler to the touch than conventional lights and start instantly. Their compact shape allows for smaller, well-designed lighting fixtures, as well as illumination in tight areas.
Thus, LEDs are set to become an increasingly significant lighting source – growing from 18% of today's $66 billion global lighting market to 70% of the $100 billion market in 2020.
GE Lighting is leveraging all these advantages to create futuristic lighting solutions such as a ceiling hung light that is virtually invisible when not in use. This light, the new Lumination LED Linear, combines brilliant aesthetics with space-filling light, all contained within a premium-quality aluminum frame. When it's switched off, its clear lens means you're unlikely to notice it's there.
Another example is GE Lighting's ERS LED Scalable Street Lighting range of luminaires that provide energy-efficient lighting for highways, streets, boulevards and walking areas. It won a Best-in-Class designation in the "Roadway Lighting" category in the 2012 Next Generation Luminaires™ (NGL) Solid-State Lighting Design Competition.
Both of these luminaires will be on display in the "Future Zone" section of this year's Light Middle East exhibition and conference, to be held October 7-9 in Dubai. Light Middle East is the largest exhibition in the region for the lighting industry. In addition to the Future Zone, there will be a matchmaking service, the Light Insight Arabia Conference, and the inaugural Light Middle East Awards to celebrate excellence in the work of lighting designers. GE Lighting is the Platinum sponsor of Light Middle East 2013.

Gambling craps usually are one of the popular gambling games which are played by most of the people in the whole world. Craps are known to be the successor of dice game that was enjoyed in Egypt in 1573 BC. During 1800�s American craps came into existence on the Mississippi river and from then gambling craps grew to become probably the most exciting, satisfaction offering and fastest growing game of any casino. It has much better probabilities compared to any other casino game titles gambling man.
A novice could be scared by seeing the actual layout of the craps table and number of gamers on a table. Just about all players loaded with excitement and winning mindset may befuddle the fresher but one must know that gambling craps are among the least difficult matches which can be played in casinos. Many people believe craps don�t offer excellent odds but there are some bets offering best odds in craps gambling.
Different types of gambling craps wagers
The standard gambling craps bet may be the pass line bet. It is a continuous money bet. A bettor starts the game by placing his bet on the pass line area on the table on the come out roll. A player having the total understanding of the rules of pass line craps wagers is perfect for playing the gambling craps. A person having absolutely no knowledge of craps bets may play fun cash pass line bet intended for practice before beginning the genuine cash game gambling problem.
Another type of gambling craps is actually don�t pass. It really is completely different from pass line bet anf the winning as well as losing process of this bet is just reverse of pass line bet. An individual involved with don�t pass bet is also referred to as wrong better as in this bet one usually is the winner whenever other lose and manages to lose when other is victorious.
The next type of gambling craps is come line bet which is similar to the pass line bet. The only thing which makes it different from pass bet is, it can be made at any time during a round. A person has to place the chips of his preference in come area to make a come bet. One thing is vital to know about come bet is that if a point is thrown and there are still active come bets on the table then Come out roll will nevertheless apply to active come bets however it won't apply to their respective odds bets. During this game a come bet is dependent upon come out roll while the original come bet is actually lost. Come out bet is most challenging craps betting and several gamer goes for this kind of bet to get more numbers working simultaneously gambling movies.
Place number bets, purchase bets, lay bets hard ways, proposition bets etc are usually other gambling craps bets.
