Then just as you are beginning to see some light at the end of the darkest road you have ever traveled. Your wings eager to spread and to take flight. Suddenly an invisible cord has latched on to you, making you question all that you have worked so hard for, all that you are blossoming into.
The ego can whisper the meanest things or the most discouraging things into our thoughts. Leaving us feeling awful about our self and wondering why it's challenging to have exciting, passionate, healthy relationships (starting with our self).
How to Quieten Your Ego..
Find a quiet spot to sit. When the weather is warm I like going to sit by our stream and take nature in. In the colder months I like to sit in front of the garden doors looking out. I start with Purposeful Breathing:

The work week is over! Once you've clocked out, your hours are your own again until Monday – and filling them with fun things to do can be almost overwhelming in The City That Never Sleeps. Here to help: our inaugural NY-See & Do Weekend picks to keep you busy until Sunday – and give you some water cooler fodder for Monday morning (make that Tuesday, thanks to the long weekend!)
Taking our suggestions? Got some of your own? Share them with us, via Twitter and Instagram, and tag your snaps and snippets with @nycmonthly!
Friday 1/15
Get Inspired
Purchase advance admission to avoid the lines and coax your inner artist out to play at MetFridays (1000 Fifth Ave. at 82nd St.). Fancy a little night music? Have a cocktail and enjoy live piano and viola from ETHEL and Friends at the Balcony Bar overlooking the Great Hall. Ready to whet your pencil? Bring your sketchbook or take advantage of the materials provided with a 30-minute Drop-In Drawing Demonstration. The office is already a distant memory…
Pay Tribute
It's been a tough week for Broadway, with the passing of stars like Alan Rickman, Brian Bedford, David Bowie, and David Margulies (who New Yorkers also remember as famously cranky mayor Lenny in Ghostbusters). Honor their memories by visiting Broadway.com or a TKTS booth for tickets and taking in a show on the Great White Way.
Saturday 1/16
Park It
Knowing how to navigate Central Park is many New Yorkers' most prized insider knowledge. Score some of your own with a free, no-registration-required Southern Welcome Tour (Inside the Park: E. 61st St. at Fifth Ave.), which includes Grand Army Plaza, the Pond, Gapstow Bridge, Wollman Rink, Chess & Checkers House, and the Dairy. The tour kicks off at 11 a.m. and lasts about 45 minutes; after, take a spin around Wollman Rink and boom: weekend exercise? Checked off your to-do list!
Warm Up, then Rock Out
When the clouds part and the sun comes out on Saturday afternoon, make your way down to the East Village. Start with a steaming cup of bone broth at Brodo (200 First Ave. at E. 12th St.), then stroll through Alphabet City to Zum Schneider for a mug of gluhwein or a stein of crisp German pils (107 Ave. C at East 7th St.). Conclude your meander at Rockwood Music Hall (196 Allen St. at Stanton St.), where performers take to Stage 1 beginning at 2 p.m. and change hourly through 2 a.m.
Pour One Out
With the news that LES landmark Fontana's Bar (105 Eldridge St. at Grand St.) will shutter sometime this spring thanks to rising rents, there has never been a better time to post up at one of their three bars, order a craft draft, shoot a round of pool, and wax nostalgic about New York's good ol' days – even if they were just last weekend.
Sunday 1/17
Get Up (Get On Up!)
When you shake off last night's LES haze, hop the 2-3 trains uptown to 116th Street (yes, we checked The Weekender, and yes, they're running normally!) for Hooch Party Brunch at Sexy Taco / Dirty Cash. Score a chorizo and goat cheese omelet or red rice and beans with sweet plantains and garlic spinach for $15.95; another $12 gets you unlimited drinks for 90 minutes. What hangover?? 161 Malcolm X Blvd. (118th St.)
ExpLore BrookLyn
This week, the MTA announced that the L train may be shut down later this year for repairs in the Superstorm Sandy-damaged Canarsie Tunnel between Brooklyn and Manhattan. Meaning that there has never been a better time for a weekend outing in Williamsburg! Brooklyn Bowl (61 Wythe Ave. at N. 12th St.) is all ages from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m., with family-friendly Rock'n'Roll workshops on the hour; next door, Brooklyn Brewery (79 N. 11th St. at Wythe Ave.) opens its doors beginning at 12 noon, with hourly brewery tours from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. Roll and chug through the neighborhood – two things the L train might stop doing by spring.
Make Reservations
Restaurant Week starts on Monday; Broadway Week starts on Tuesday. That means today's the day to score a table and tickets for next weekend – a quick interlude in your Sunday, and a way to give yourself something to look forward to during the work week.
Stay Out Late
With MLK Day offering many of us an extra day off on Monday, why not make Sunday night last a little longer? Keep with your Brooklyn theme and see the Academy Award-nominated film of the same name at 9:45 p.m. at Landmark Sunshine Cinema (143 E. Houston St. at Eldridge St.) or stay up in Harlem for "Race and Privilege: Exploring MLK's Two Americas" at 3 p.m. at The Apollo (253 W. 125th St. at Frederick Douglass Blvd.), then grab dinner – and stay for live jazz – at Red Rooster (310 Lenox Ave. at 125th St.).

An analysis of data from two major, long-term epidemiologic studies finds that the regular use of aspirin significantly reduces the overall risk of cancer, a reduction that primarily reflects a lower risk of colorectal cancer and other tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. The findings published Online First in JAMA Oncology suggest that the use of aspirin may complement, but not replace, the preventive benefits of colonoscopy and other methods of cancer screening.
"We now can recommend that many individuals consider taking aspirin to reduce their risk of colorectal cancer - particularly those with other reasons for regular use, such as heart disease prevention - but we are not at a point where we can make a general recommendation for overall cancer prevention," says Andrew Chan, MD, MPH, chief of the Clinical and Translational Epidemiology Unit in the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Division of Gastroenterology, the senior and corresponding author of the report. "Our findings imply that aspirin use would be expected to prevent a significant number of colorectal cancers above and beyond those that would be prevented by screening and may have even greater benefit in settings in which the resources to devote to cancer screening are lacking."
A large number of studies have supported the ability of regular aspirin use to prevent colorectal cancer, but aspirin's effects on overall cancer risk has not been clear. To investigate that question, the research team analyzed 32 years worth of data from almost 136,000 participants in the Nurses' Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. They found that participants who reported regular aspirin use - defined as taking either a standard or a low-dose aspirin tablet at least twice a week - had a 3 percent absolute lower risk of any type of cancer than did those not reporting regular aspirin use. Regular aspirin use reduced the risk of colorectal cancer by 19 percent and the risk of any gastrointestinal cancer by 15 percent. No reduction was seen in the risk of breast, prostate or lung cancer.
Aspirin's protective benefit appeared after five years of continuous use at dosages ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 standard tablets a week or one low-dose tablet a day. The researchers estimate that regular aspirin use could prevent close to 30,000 gastrointestinal tract tumors in the U.S. each year and could prevent an additional 7,500 colorectal tumors among U.S. adults over 50 who have endoscopic screening and 9,800 among the almost 30 million who are not screened. The benefit related to other gastrointestinal tumors appeared after six years and at the same dosage level - equivalent to a daily low-dose tablet - used to prevent cardiovascular disease.
"At this point, it would be very reasonable for individuals to discuss with their physicians the advisability of taking aspirin to prevent gastrointestinal cancer, particularly if they have risk factors such as a family history," says Chan, an associate professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. "But this should be done with the caveat that patients be well informed about the potential side effects of regular aspirin treatment and continue their regular screening tests. Furthermore, aspirin should not be viewed as a substitute for colonoscopy or other cancer screening tests."

The Institute of War itself has fallen under suspicion after Prince Jarvan IV and Katarina Du Couteau came forward yesterday with evidence implicating the Institute in conspiracy. Jarvan and Katarina reportedly followed an evidence trail left by General Du Couteau to conclude that the Institute may have been directly involved in sparking the war between Noxus and Demacia in Kalamanda.
Jarvan IV, who had not been seen outside the castle since his return to Demacia, emerged yesterday to deliver an address to Demacian citizens and representatives from the Institute of War. Onlookers were shocked, however, when Katarina Du Couteau emerged at the prince's side. "We feared that the famed assassin had targeted Prince Jarvan," stated Myras Thell, a soldier of the Dauntless Vanguard, "We attacked, but Commander Garen put himself in the path of our blades to defend her!"
The prince reported how he and Katarina recovered a coded rubric in the Ivory Ward from agents of Noxus suspected in the murder of General Du Couteau. Katarina, with the aid of a letter her father had left before his disappearance, was able to decode the rubric. Its message directed them to a hidden room beneath Demacia's prison, a place once used for secret meetings between Noxian infiltrators during the old wars.
Within the meeting room, Jarvan and Katarina discovered a series of documents hidden by General Du Couteau himself.
The General had been monitoring a series of transactions related to the DSS Excursion, the Demacian ship supposedly sunk by Noxus last year. "My father believed that Noxus was being set up for political disaster, so he took it upon himself to discover the truth behind the attack on Demacia. The transactions and orders were placed by a list of names that, according to my father's notes, lead nowhere. These people simply do not exist," stated Katarina. "But he had tied their point of origin to the Institute of War."
Jarvan and Katarina's further investigation had revealed that these names, suspected to be aliases one or more operatives in the Institute, were used again in orders for arcano-seismic charges from Alowicious Chucat shortly before the collapse of the Demacian mine in Kalamanda. Similarly, another alias was used for the purchase of Nyzer poison from Zaunite traders shortly before the death of Thom Garvin, the prisoner suspected causing the mine collapse.
"If this evidence stands," Jarvan stated, "then someone at the Institute manipulated the situation between Demacia and Noxus, pitting us against each other in Kalamanda. That is why we must stand together until the League itself answers for this injustice."
By Jarvan's direct order, Katarina has been placed under the personal protection of the Dauntless Vanguard. League Champion Talon, who was observed during the presentation of evidence, has disappeared, and many Demacian citizens assert that Jarvan has put them in danger. Demacia has erupted into heated debate regarding the collaboration between the prince and a representative of Noxus, but Jarvan IV himself has returned to the confines of the castle and has not commented further.
Citizens of Demacia, yesterday we witnessed our crowned prince come forth at the side of Katarina Du Couteau, a champion of our most hated enemies, against the Institute of War itself. I have witnessed chaos in the streets before the castle and I have heard whispers of dissent at my ears. My fellow Demacians, I plead for a moment of peace. Let us consider what we have heard and reflect on what we have seen—from the very beginning.
• 1 July, 20 CLE – The DSS Excursion, a Demacian cargo ship, is lost to piracy. Magical resonance at the ship's last known location implicates the use of necromancy.
• 13 July, 20 CLE Following the discovery of precious mineral deposits and two nexuses within the village of Kalamanda, the League and all major city-states send representatives for research and mining purposes. Competition is fierce.
• 25 January, 21 CLE – In Kalamanda, a Demacian mine collapses. The body of a Noxian soldier surrounded by arcano-seismic charges is discovered nearby, suggesting Noxian sabotage.
• 24 February, 21 CLE – A captured Demacian soldier named Thom Garvin confesses to planting the evidence implicating Noxus in the sabotage of the mine. Before the investigation into Garvin's testimony is complete, he is found dead by Nyzer poisoning in his prison cell.
• 1 July, 21 CLE – The leader of the Noxian High Command, General Boram Darkwill, is assassinated while on the road to Kalamanda.
• 22 July, 21 CLE - Open warfare erupts throughout the village between Demacian and Noxian military forces.
It is no secret that Noxus will never cease in their tireless efforts to sabotage Demacian honor, but I must ask this: what did Noxus have to gain in an assault upon the DSS Excursion? What use can necromancy serve in an attack at sea? In Kalamanda, too, we witnessed a series of escalations in tension between Demacia and Noxus. When the Demacian mine collapsed by sabotage early this year, the arcano-seismic charges discovered in the wreckage were of Noxian design, and the death of Thom Garvin by Nyzer poisoning was easily attributed to our enemies as well. Yet if the purchase of both of these things has been traced back to Institute of War itself, have we been manipulated?
In conclusion, there is merit to the Prince's claims, and by rallying against the measures he has taken—collaboration with Noxus—we violate our prime duty as citizens of Demacia. If the Institute of War has acted against the whole of Valoran, justice must be served. We stand behind our leaders in the face of all treachery, even treachery on the part of the League of Legends itself. We are the right and just, and we remain united behind Prince Jarvan IV.
In the pursuit of justice, we must be resolute in our search for the truth. May our resolve be unwavering and our righteous wrath unforgiving, but may we never strike without cause.
Demacia: now and forever.
The turmoil in Noxus following the death of Grand General Boram Darkwill intensified this week when Jericho Swain returned to High Command. Upon his arrival, the Master Tactician gained the immediate support of Noxus's prominent military figures, positioning him as the strongest rival to Keiran Darkwill for leadership of Noxus.
The seat of the Grand General has remained vacant since the death of Boram Darkwill. Over the past weeks, the controversy over Darkwill's succession turned to outright hostility. Many of Noxus's notorious and powerful soldiers stepped forward in an attempt to lay claim to the title. Thus far, none have remained alive long enough to maintain control over the city-state.
"It's becoming a bit of a bloodbath, certainly," commented Chancellor Malek Hawkmoon. "But this is a Noxian contest of strength in its purest form. It is difficult for any aspiring General to prove himself without war. Those who try their hand for the Grand General's title do so with Noxus's oldest tool: raw strength."
Keiran Darkwill, the late Grand General's youngest son, remains one of the more ruthless aspirants in this dispute. He has successfully thwarted several assassination attempts, struck down his challengers, and rallied significant support behind his name. Only Darius, one of Noxus's most respected and feared Generals, has earned as much of a following within High Command as Keiran Darkwill. Many predicted the two would inevitably clash and that the victor would rise to the throne. Upon Jericho Swain's return, General Darius forged an immediate alliance with the famed Master Tactician.
"Strength was once the very backbone of Noxus," General Darius told High Command, "yet we have become plagued by weakness. In Jericho Swain I see a man with the power to cull the weak from Noxus and unite us under one banner—and united we shall conquer once again."
"No one expected an alliance like this," Chancellor Hawkmoon stated. "High Command is now more divided than ever between Keiran Darkwill and Jericho Swain, and weapons are drawn on both sides. This is a Noxus we haven't seen in years—the beast has awoken."
Someone -- who by appearance I judge to be either a clinical insomniac, a depraved lunatic, or a disillusioned journalistic intern – just roused me from a relaxing slumber and furthermore a lovely dream whose details I can't recall beyond Olivia (my weary and disapproving secretary) robbing a bank in a rather fetching black leather number to afford my bail for crimes which were undoubtedly justified. Where was I going with this? Oh yes, I was woken because Ralston Farnsley, our studious and dedicated Editor-in-Chief, has apparently vanished. Please excuse my apparent lack of concern as I proceed to write several things he would have prevented, had he been doing his job instead of, I assume, being irresponsibly passed out somewhere...
"As a summoner of the League, I was wondering what are the opinions of already highly regarded mages and champions, especially Ryze, on the introduction of Xerath to the League and his magical powers." – Summoner Daniel Narfalin
Well, no big mysteries here. Mages are an inherently pompous and self-important lot. The appearance of every arcane dabbler on the Fields of Justice is always followed by a ritualistic group assertion of the inadequacy of his specific talents. Then, if the rookie hasn't washed out or accidentally incinerated himself with the backwash of a spell (assuming here that you trust Annie's dubious claims of noninvolvement), these assertions are chased by insistence that the new brand of magic is somehow a perversion of everything right and sensible in the world, and completely unlike all the previous perversions which, by virtue of critical exhaustion, have become right and sensible. This said, I ferried your missive to Ryze anyhow, just to validate my point.
"The creature called Xerath is an abomination of a mage. To master magic is not to lose oneself to it entirely! The power at his command, however great it might be, he's holding in a feeble grasp. His own will can't match the will of the arcane. The ancient mages of Shurima did everyone a favor locking Xerath away, and the Institute of War would be wise to follow their example!"
"Trundle, since your entry into the League you have borne the curse of the Ruhgosk tribe alone, seeking a means of dispelling it entirely. Within the League, there seem to be many champions capable of fairly potent healing magics - Soraka, for instance. Have you spoken with her, or with any other champions versed in curative magic, about the burden you bear? If not, do you plan to? Also, do you have anything to say to those summoners that insist upon you using your curse as a weapon?" – Summoner Aussarian
There are not materials abundant enough in the universe to build what I'd consider to be a comfortable barrier separating me from Trundle. In terms of things I make a point of avoiding, he falls somewhere between my work and the clawed, rabid beast that a woman I once dated turned into whenever I elected to forego her trifling needs like birthday gifts or mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Fortunately for you, Aussarian, I have no trouble sending Olivia into what I'm now terming the "Underbelly of Filthmare."
"Y'gotta understand something, summoners—it's a curse, not a wound. Yeah, it LOOKS bad, and you'd think you could just slap a healing spell on it and it'd clear right up, but it's not so simple. Believe me. Good thing is, though, healing spells help me out. Ease the pain a little. And Soraka? I'd never go asking for a handout, but Soraka's almost too generous. Good healing magic's like a good massage, I'm tellin' you—and nobody's gonna give me a massage these days."
"Talon has worked in the shadows to do General Du Couteau's bidding for many years, leading up to his disappearance. Were his daughters aware of his mysterious protégé? Would either one be open to comment on Talon's existence and his relationship to them and their search for their father?" – Mädchen, Summoner of Noxus
As I understand it, Katarina is preoccupied in Demacia (insert speculative tabloid headline here), leaving no options but to consult her sister, the only woman I've known to attempt molting seductively. As I dispatched Olivia to Filthmare I needed to endure, in order of annoyance: two Noxian assassination attempts, four tasteless advances from a serpentine diva, and countless inquiries from outgoing passersby about my opinions of "this weather we've been having." I hope Cassiopeia's response was worth it, though as it didn't come wrapped around a large bottle, I find this highly improbable.
"My sister and I certainly knew him, though we rarely saw the boy… he kept to the shadows and the sewers he'd come from, and he took orders only from our father. On occasions where we worked together, it was by order of the General—though I can think of uses he might've served. Whatever he has done alongside Katarina has only come to pass because they share the same goal: Talon follows the General, and the General only. When the trail left by my father ends… I can only wonder if the loyalty of the Blade's Shadow will end with it."
We'd love to hear from you!

In June we started to work on the outdoor space of the Chirpanlieva house. The new EVS volunteers just arrived and were motivated to create a new space for a small café and an outdoor exhibition of agricultural equipment. Moreover, the place will be used for handcraft workshops and other cultural events to give insight in the traditional Bulgarian lifestyle.
To get started, we first cleared the room for the prospective café that was used as a storage until now. Soon you will be able to see most of the exponents that we found in there around the museum area. After looking through everything we found, deciding what to keep and which of the things are going to the trash, the work on the prospective café room was about to start. But another challenge was occurring: The roof needed a repair!
The construction work on the roof took some time but in the end it was accomplished and we were able to start with the main renovation. The old inside brick wall got some varnish, a new wooden floor was made and also the ceiling looks brand new again. From outside the new painted wall and our "serving window" are creating a cosy appearance.Also the outdoor space got some attention. The messy crowded place from before disappeared, and now looks well organized. Also, some of our agricultural exponents are already presented there.
Just in time, the new outdoor space of the Chirpanlieva house was ready to welcome guests for the eventful week in the celebration days of Shipka between the 15th and 18th August and we were able to host our first workshop there (see also the article about the soap workshop).In Future this space can host more cultural events in the area of the museum such as workshops or presentations and soon, we will also be able to enjoy a coffee in this area and use it as a meeting point for everyone - tourists and locals.

text: We got some turnips last week in our CSA box. I, for one, was not too excited about them. I looked for recipes online and found that people generally don't like turnips. My dad called them "an accident of nature." I put off cooking them for over a week before I decided to roast them with some carrots. I was prepared to hate them, but I decided that they were ok. Sam tried some for the first time this morning. He popped a piece into his mouth, smiled, and said "mmm!" He likes them. A lot!

SLIMED! An Oral History of Nickelodeon's Golden Age tells the surprisingly complex, wonderfully nostalgic, and impressively compelling story of how Nickelodeon -- the First Kids' Network -- began as a DIY startup in the late 70s, and forged ahead through the early eighties with a tiny band of young artists and filmmakers who would go on to change everything about cable television, television in general, animation, and children's entertainment, proving just what can be done if the indie spirit is kept alive in the corporate world of contemporary media... All from those who made it happen!
Nit Picks: I think that the setup was a bit difficult to deal with on my Kindle. At times I had to look up who people were if their stories didn't give it away. Sure, I know who Melissa Joan Hart is, but some of the other actors have only been in small roles, or quit completely after their time at Nick, and I needed to Google some of them (the Kindle doesn't have the most convenient system for accessing appendices). I do wish that I had learned a bit more about Hey Arnold!, but I think that's based on personal bias. Technically it's one of the last shows during Nick's animation golden era...but every time I saw Craig Bartlett's name (since he also worked on Rugrats) I hoped there would be some new tidbit of information.
Overall, it made me go back and watch the entirety of Pete & Pete, and appreciate every weird, amazing moment. I'm now re-watching Doug and just enjoyed the Hey Arnold! Halloween episode. Best thing ever.

text: This was an amazing collaboration with some extremely talented people! I had the privilege to work with Hemstitch Vintage Rentals from Pensacola Fl, Love Light Letter Co. from Gainesville, Fl and model Heather Dalton & her boyfriend Eric from Hendersonville, NC! We had been corresponding through text and Messenger mostly before our shoot, and we planned to meet at Black Balsam Knob on the Parkway around 5:00pm this day. On my way, I had lost cell reception in the mountains and my GPS took me to the wrong place, (about 12 miles short of the location.) So, I am driving for miles up and down Blue Ridge Parkway trying to find our location with mostly no signal the entire time. I try calling/texting Heather when I finally do have service and get no response. About 2 hours later finally I find our location. I figured by this point, Heather and Eric had been long gone so I decide to explore this beautiful area alone. Taking my time I begin to hike up the mountain, taking it all in and making the most of it since the shoot didn't work out. Also, hoping they didn't think I ditched them! After about 30 minutes of hiking and wandering around the forrest I make it to the top of the mountain. I take it in the view, capture some photos and explore some more. I walk a little further to the other side of the mountain and I notice a couple sitting on a rock overlooking the valley in the distance. I walk up closer to get a look and I simply say, "Heather". To my disbelief, they both turn around and it's them!! I really couldn't believe they were still there, hanging out on the mountain. I find out that they too, lost reception and got lost on the way. Somehow, after all of this, we still managed to meet up and make this session happen! God is good!! It was a beautiful evening in the mountains and the sunset cast such gorgeous light throughout the skies. We spent the next hour and a half shooting and I'm so stoked it worked out!! Totally not the way we thought but I think even better because it turned into an adventure. This is why I love what we do!

The time has come in this blog, to add a new key word: counterintuitive. That word came to mind when I read about one study done at Brigham Young University which found that the onset of physical disability boosts marital happiness more often than not.
Consider these two Findings:
>Both men and women, regardless of age, reported being happier in their marriage after they themselves became physically disabled.
>Men whose spouse became physically disabled also experienced greater happiness in their relationship.
"The numbers show that couples seem to come together when one of them experiences physical limitations," said lead author Jeremy Yorgason, a Brigham Young University professor. The results - published in the journal Research on Aging - are based on information provided by 1,217 married people randomly selected from around the country. Researchers tracked the lives of the study participants for 12 years.
Exactly why physical limitations boost marital happiness is not fully understood by researchers, Yorgason said. One hint from the new study is that in some cases disability brings more couple interaction.
Author: I am always hesitant to be swayed by the findings of one research study, but this one is fascinating. And if it gives hope and support to couples who have been dealt this hand in life, it's worth its weight in gold.

Lonzo Ball's NBA career hasn't lived up to what his dad LaVar Ball hyped up to be yet, but he's making the most of it. The latest addition to the New Orleans Pelicans via trade showed off his new tattoo sleeve, and it's a homage to Black History's biggest icons.
The Pelican's point guard is letting the world know he appreciated all that those before him have down. At the same time, acknowledging there is more work to be done. The tattoo was done by Southern California tattoo artist Steve Butcher who shared the finished product to his Instagram page. The Black History collage features our forever President, Barack Obama, MLB legend Jackie Robinson, Civil Rights icons Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr.and Malcolm X. For the finishing touch, he also added the late Nipsey Hussle's favorite slogan #TheMarathonContinues.
The entire sleeve is a stunning piece of art with great detail as you can see in the post below.
The new tattoo follows Ball covering up his BBB (Big Baller Brand) body art. He claims it reminded him of dad's friend and former business partner Alan Foster. Lonzo accused Foster accused stealing $1.5 million from him earlier in the year before leaving fans speculating he was signing with a deal with Nike in an Instagram post.
Whatever the case, we just looking forward to seeing what Lonzo and his new teammate Zion Williamson do on the basketball court this upcoming season.

California Chrome retires after staggering loss
California-born racing horse finished in 9th place
California-born racing horse finished in 9th place
California Chrome competed in his final race of his career Saturday at the Pegasus World Cup in Florida.
The California-born racing horse and jockey Victor Espinoza finished in 9th place.
If Chrome won the race, he would of retired as a $20 million track earner.
California Chrome made a bid for the Triple Crown in 2014 after winning the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. At the 146th Belmont Stakes, California Chrome injured his right foot.
The thoroughbred was named the 2014 & 2016 Horse of the Year.
Before the colt won the Kentucky Derby, his owners said they rejected a $6 million offer for a 51 percent share in the horse. After he won the Preakness, his trainer declared that he was worth $30 million.
His underdog identity - born in California, schooled by a 77-year-old trainer, owned by seemingly regular guys who call their business Dumb Ass Partners - makes him a favorite of racing fans, but fails to excite the professionals whose job is to put a price on horse flesh.
Chrome's owner is Yuba City resident Perry Martin.

Eleven Pieces of Eight
Eleven Eight Debate
Eleven Ate the Bait
We fooled around with 11/8 in 1970s as an alternative time signature for Ain't No Sunshine. Based on that fun experience, decided to give Bill Ray's Swampland in 11/8 a go. Closer inspection revealed the drum recording is an exercise in fun with ever changing 11/8 rhythms.
Started by creating a simple MIDI bass pattern using an Am, Em, Dm progression that follows the drums. Chorus chords are Em, Dm x 4. A second pattern of Em, Em, Gm, Em was used in one section.
In places, the MIDI bass line also drives Synapse Dune and Image Line Harmor soft-synths. The horns are largely single note trombone samples stacked and strung together as needed to break up the repetitive bass pattern.
After the horns were created and some piano riffs recorded, some bars of drums were moved, deleted or replaced to mo' better fit the remix . A few extra crash cymbal/kick hits were pasted in.
ElRon recorded using a Washburn guitar with some fancy replacement pickups he added. Three of the guitar tracks used tweaks of various AmpliTube3's freeware and Fender Collection presets. The jazz guitar track used Voxengo's freeware Boogex fat jazz preset. Like what the Boogex did for the solid body Washburn.
At the all you can eat Chinese food buffet before the the Friday night session, we discussed adding some notes akin to Lalo Schifrin in 5/4. Without plagiarizing Mission Impossible, we crafted a Schifrinesque intro and bridge.
Configured FL Studio 12 project settings to 11/8. This is the fist time configuring the DAW to an odd time. Usually leave the time signature at 4/4 no mater the time. Did help the work flow.

As we mentioned, the college football bloggers of SB Nation have decided to come up with our own Hall Of Fame (#SBNHOF). Every blog came up with their five candidates (see rules here).
I'm pretty sure not every blog will get two people in the inaugural class. In fact most blgs won't get anybody in this first class.
But then again not every blog writes about the Texas Longhorns. Is that arrogance? Dunno, can't bothered to think about it.
Congrats Vince Young.
So Vince Young has now earned what ought to be (but probably will not be) remembered as one of the greatest distinctions in the history of our sport: He is the first inductee in the SB Nation College Football Hall of Fame.
There are plenty of running backs with an argument here -- Williams was one of two unanimous choices by our committee and won on a tiebreaker vote -- but if we have to choose a single player for our Hall of Fame backfield, it's Williams.

Louisville City FC owner fought plan to protect homeless because of stadium, councilman says
A Louisville City FC investor fought a proposal to prevent the razing of homeless camps during extreme weather because the measure threatened to delay construction of the soccer club's new stadium, a Metro Council member says.
That allegation comes as Courier Journal has learned club owners are donating $17,000 to the Coalition for the Homeless at the suggestion of local community leaders to help house displaced homeless persons in hotels for the next two months.
"We don't have any legal responsibility here; it's not our land," said Brad Estes, executive vice president of Louisville City FC. "But they are people that live in our community, and we want to try do the right thing here."
But Councilman Brent Ackerson said on Tuesday that the donation is just cover after the club's investors, specifically businessman Tim Mulloy, lobbied heavily against his effort to protect the homeless living outdoors.
More stadium coverage
►Louisville City FC has the funding for its stadium. So, what's next?
►Louisville City FC gets money to build its stadium in Butchertown
►See renderings for the planned soccer stadium in Butchertown
This month the council approved new rules saying that the city must warn homeless people three weeks before their camps are demolished. The city has already posted notices that it plans to tear down Campbell Camp, which is in the northern part of the Butchertown area.
Ackerson's so-called "White Flag" amendment would have blocked the city from tearing down encampments when temperatures are below 35 degrees or exceed 95 degrees. But the proposal was defeated by a 10-12 vote after many council members said it would send mixed messages to Louisville's homeless about staying outdoors during frigid temperatures.
Mulloy did not immediately respond to an email and phone call on Tuesday seeking comment about the amendment.
During the Feb. 8 council meeting, Councilwoman Julie Denton said she was made aware that Ackerson's amendment "would pose great hardship upon the soccer stadium construction" and could delay it for at least a month. She voted against the change.
Ackerson told Courier Journal on Tuesday that Denton later said it was that Mulloy who had informed her about how his amendment would cause hurt the stadium project.
Denton, R-19th District, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Ackerson said the Fischer administration also urged him to pull his amendment and come back with it later in the year. He said Teresa Lajara, the mayor's liaison to the council, pulled him to the side during the Feb. 8 debate on the homeless measure to speak with Jeff Mosley, Fischer's general counsel, via telephone.
Mosley was concerned that if the council blocked the city from removing homeless camps when it was too cold or too hot, it would get in the way of the soccer stadium's timeline, Ackerson said.
"He said, 'Brent, we value getting the stadium done as quickly as possible,' " Ackerson, D-26th, said. "Their concern was it could put off construction, clearing the trees was the big thing. They value clearing the trees before — not having to wait until September."
Mosley did not immediately respond to an email or voicemail requesting comment.
Fischer spokeswoman Jean Porter said there was concern about how the city would enforce Ackerson's amendment about temperature.
She said the administration "also shared the concerns of the ownership group that if the amendment passed and prolonged the clearing" at the development site, "it could potentially hurt the soccer project because many trees must by cleared by March 31 to comply with federal law regarding certain species of bats and their nesting patterns."
The notices at Campbell Camp went up Feb. 15, according to city officials.
"Displacing people in severe cold weather could result in deaths, but it appears that some are willing to take that chance to maximize building timetables and profits," Ackerson said. "I supported the stadium ... but can't support profit timetables over the safety of some of society's most vulnerable people."
Louisville City FC owner Mike Mountjoy said he was not aware of Ackerson's amendment but said the club and city have complied with an ordinance and posted a 21-day notice of demolition at the Campbell Camp.
"We gave the notice about a week or two ago, and from what I've been told, most of them have already vacated," Mountjoy said. "... If it's zero degrees we wouldn't be trying to move them out in that condition anyway, and we probably couldn't get in there and do much work. Long term, we were going to need to clear that area. At some point we needed them to vacate."
Estes said Eric Friedlander, the city's chief of community services, and Jean Manganaro, founder of the homeless outreach organization Fed With Faith, suggested in mid-February that the soccer club donate cash to help transition people from the homeless camp.
Natalie Harris, executive director of the coalition, acknowledged in a press release about the donation on Tuesday that while there has been tremendous excitement about the new soccer stadium, the homeless living at Campbell Camp have been worried about where they would go.
"The coalition and partners have already identified each of the residents who were living in Campbell Camp last week and have dedicated money for each of them for hotel stays beginning as soon as possible, with a goal of moving each of these people into permanent housing shortly thereafter," she said. "The coalition cautions all homeless people to stay away from the former Campbell Camp area, as it is no longer safe, following the flooding last week."
The stadium district is south of Interstates 64 and 65, north of Water Street and south of Witherspoon and Adams streets in the Butchertown neighborhood.
The city, which still owns the land, has already begun clearing the 37-acre site, including tearing down the old Challenger Lifts building.
Mountjoy said Tuesday that the club plans to delay an official groundbreaking until May, after consultants give feedback to the state on the city's application for tax-increment financing. The application earned preliminary approval in January.
"If they came back and denied the TIF, there would be serious issues about whether we'll go forward," Mountjoy said. "They're not high-profit projects and without sufficient help from the TIF, it's practically impossible to do this thing. We're not going to pull the trigger and go to the complete point of no return until we have the TIF information that comes back to us."
Fischer halted the clearing of homeless camps late last year after residents and activists raised concerns about the treatment of the homeless there.
In October, about two-dozen people living underneath Interstate 64 along the Ohio River near 12th Street last year were kicked out of their camp without being given enough time to collect their belongings or find another place to stay, according to advocates.
Fischer said the moratorium would last until the council adopted rules on how to handle the camps.
More Courier Journal headlines
►Several events around Louisville canceled or postponed due to flooding
►Judge in Marshall County shooting case responds to conduct concerns
►Uh oh. More rain is coming to Louisville this week. Here's what to expect
Under those new rules, the city must alert the people living in a homeless camp three weeks in advance. The city also must also keep any personal belongings found at the camp in a safe and secure location for at least a month and secure pets at the city's animal shelter.
There are exemptions to the three-week requirement, however, such as if the health department declares an emergency.
The Butchertown stadium development is to include a 10,000-seat soccer stadium and two hotels with 308 combined rooms as well as 20,000 square feet of retail space, 50,000 square feet of restaurant space and 340,000 square feet of office space.
Louisville Metro Government is leveraging a $30 million bond to partially fund the project. The city paid $24.1 million for four pieces of land for the development and will use leftover money for infrastructure improvements.
Wendy Manganaro, who is Jean's wife and board president of Fed With Faith, said she is focused on helping find homes for the people at the camp rather than the soccer club's influence.
"Here's the reality: It doesn't matter. … I'm not going get into politics. It's about people," Manganaro said. "The soccer stadium is coming, it's happening, it's already decided so we have to work with what we have now. … That's just reality."
Manganaro and others went out to gauge how many people living at the camp wanted help with finding homes. As of Tuesday, she said, nine of the 13 people living at Campbell Camp that they spoke with are in the process of relocating.

This week I bring a quote from Viktor Frankl, a concentration camp survivor. He wrote the book "Man's search for meaning", which is one of the most inspirational books I have ever read. His book has inspired readers from all walks of life.
He was a psychiatrist and head of the department of neurology at Rothschild hospital in Vienna, a Jewish hospital that was closed down by the National Socialist government. He got a U.S. immigration visa but he stayed in Vienna to not leave his aging parents behind. They all were arrested and deported to four different concentration camps.
In his book, he points out that "to achieve personal meaning, one must transcend subjective pleasures by doing something that points and is directed, to something, or someone, other than oneself… by giving himself to a cause to serve or another person to love." Staying with his parents was the living proof of his beliefs.
It wasn't his imprisonment though, that led him to this way of thinking. His work with dying patients and quadriplegics sufferings has originated his argument that the quest for meaning is the key to mental health and human blossoming.
As a prisoner, the meaning of his life was profoundly tested. His survival is explained mostly by his will to live and his attitude towards suffering. He says that "suffering is not necessary to find meaning, only that meaning is possible in spite of suffering."
He wanted to live for his wife, brother, and parents. He had a steely resolve to never give up or commit suicide. He wanted to finish his book on logotherapy and wanted to live for his future.
After his liberation in 1945, he found out that he had lost his entire family. Contrary to many colleagues who then emigrated to other countries, he decided to remain in Vienna to help post war psychiatric patients, and made a very successful career.
Viktor rebuilt his life, remarried, and continued working as a psychiatrist, helping people find new meaning in their lives. He believed that 'everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.'
He found meaning for his life and dedicated it to help others find theirs.
I will leave you yet again with another one of his quotes:
"The world is in bad state, but everything will become still worse unless each of us does his best."
How contemporary this quote is, isn't it? In whatever we do in life, there will always be something we can change, if we give our best to ourselves and to others.
I am posting for Silver Threading Event, Writer's Quote Wednesday. If you love quotes, it is the place to be.
I am also posting for the Photo101 Rehab, the event for everyone who loves photography (hobbyists, amateurs, pro-shooters, or just curious , anyone is welcome), and wants to join a community of like-minded people, who are also fun to connect with.

Wanting is the first step.
I was talking to an executive at a mid-sized (read: ~100 employees) rapid growth company the other day. The company has been having problems with its customer service. They have the basics down – people pick up the phones and do respond to emails, but they have room to improve when it comes to the little things. Their customer service is usually at a level of acceptable, but it isn't at the point of "great" just yet.
However, this company, especially the executive I spoke to, have one of the most important first steps down: They want to improve their customer service. Wanting to improve your customer service and being dedicated to improving it is one of the biggest challenges. If you aren't convinced that you want good customer service at your company, it is far less likely to happen.
This executive showed some things that definitely proved to be good news:
- He was obviously dedicated to improving the customer service experience. As stated above, this is critical.
- He wanted to know how he could go about improving the customer service experience. Just wanting to isn't enough, you need someone that is prepared to do what it takes to get great customer service started.
- He listened carefully. I talk a lot, but the executive listened carefully. He wasn't, dead though. By his responses, comments, etc., I could tell he was understanding what I was saying and the points I was trying to make.
Those are just a few things that executives looking to improve their company's customer service need to do/show. They have to be open minded about how to improve the customer service at their organization and they need to be willing to remain dedicated to customer service.
Here is how to get to a point where you want to improve your customer service and the customer service experience:
- Read about customer service. You can read about customer service at Service Untitled, some of the blogs I link to on the right, in books, in the newspaper, and more. Reading about customer service will not only educate you, but the stories will convince you how powerful (and useful) customer service can be.
- Talk to a customer service expert. Talk to someone who deals with customer service and realizes how powerful great customer service can be. This could be a blogger, an author, a consultant, and/or an executive. Many of them will talk to you (or at least exchange a few emails) and let you know what they think customer service can do.
- Look at your competitors. Almost every industry I can think of has at least one company that uses customer service as a primary differentiator. Retail has Nordstrom, web hosting has Rackspace, hotels have the Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton, airlines have Southwest and JetBlue, etc. Look at how successful these companies are.
- Try to model yourself. When you find the customer service-orientated company that is one of your competitors, study what they do. Read articles about them, talk to their employees, and so on.
- Be creative. These will all help convince you that customer service is important and that you want to improve customer service. Be creative and think about how you can go about convincing yourself customer service is important and that it is well worth the time and effort.
And remember, customer service is hard. There are lots of things that are easy to copy, but consistent customer service across an organization is very tough. It won't happen right away, but you'll start seeing changes sooner than later.
Oh, and read the Executive's (Quick) Guide to Customer Service. It's worth the one page read.

Video Transcription:
When a drunk driver causes an accident, they are responsible, they are liable. They are the one that did what they did and it's their responsibility to pay for what they did which means they can be held financially responsible.
Many times the drunk driver has an insurance company that stands in for them. With that being said, we look to the insurance company of the drunk driver to pay all the harms and losses that the accident caused someone. Typically, that insurance company is obligated to pay for those harms and losses up to the limits of the drunk driver's policy, depending on how seriously injured the victim might be.
So, the insurance company "stands in the shoes" of the drunk driver and are held responsible for paying the harms and losses the driver has caused the victim of the DUI.
Have You Or A Loved One Been Injured By A Drunk Driver?

Irvington: The "Sub-Suburban" Experience
People ask me where I live and I am proud to say that I live in "the City". I get this shocked look all the time from people who assume these cities are like the crime-ridden cities of the 70's or something horrific. As a city planner, we are taught that the best and ultimate design is the dense, mixed-use, and busy neighborhoods. What planners and people alike need to realize that the Utopian society isn't going to happen. Ever.
Suburbia lacks the mixed-uses intertwined inside of the neighborhoods.I love the small communities that have the old homes closer together but with a small yard. We live in a neighborhood in Indianapolis that has 2 business districts within a block of my house. THIS is what the ideal city planning design should be. There is a great mix of single family homes, duplex housing, and a quite a few apartment buildings that all sustain a main business district of a brewery, 4 coffee shops, multiple local food options, a theater, and some health services. The drag is going to be along a new Bus Rapid Transit line that will only help the area and the city. I call this the "Sub-Suburb" (there may actually be a true name to this but this is what I've got).
I have the joys of living in a mix between an urbanized and a suburban neighborhood. Every time my neighborhood has an event, flocks of suburbanites come in and always remark "I could live here" or "I love this place. It would be nice to stay down here". Well they can and it would only help the education system, tax base, diversity, and cheaper living when it comes to mobility and safety. Millennials and Empty-Nesters alike are moving to the cities for these reasons; this can be the middle ground where communities can grow families and relationships.Now we just have to get everyone to love each other and accept that changes are coming...
Easier said than done.

Airport officials: Traffic may double in 20 years
PANAMA CITY — Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP) officials expect passenger traffic to double in the next 20 years.
With potentially heavy growth on the horizon, the Panama City/Bay County Airport and Industrial District moved another step forward in planning for the future by gathering comments Thursday at a second public workshop on the airport's master plan.
Once completed, the master plan will outline five-, 10- and 20-year planning horizons for ECP.
An ambitious aviation demand forecast was recently approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and airport planning director Paul Puckli hashed out ECP's growth predictions and plans to address the growth to an audience of about 25.
Although the approved forecast is higher than the FAA's prediction for ECP, Puckli said the agency's approval shows recognition of growth and activity in the area.
"They (forecast) it in a way that doesn't really look at the characteristics of each and every airport," said Puckli, who noted extensive passenger surveys weighed heavily on their forecast. "When we do an airport master plan we do look at those characteristics."
The master plan will address facility growth requirements through six planning activity levels as the airport approaches certain passenger levels.
Airport executive director Parker McClellan said the "broad brush approach" will give officials more flexibility in how they plan for the future.
A master plan is needed for airports to be eligible to receive state and federal funding for improvement projects. The process is funded primarily through grants from the FAA and the Florida Department of Transportation.
"Things are really exciting in terms of the growth that's going on and what it means for your entire region," Puckli said. "This airport master plan is an important part of the process to help this airport continue to be the economic engine for the region, for the Panhandle."
Although substantial growth has been seen over the years, members of the audience questioned the airport's competitiveness in the region with only two major airlines.
McClellan said officials are actively pursuing new airlines, some to replace dropped flights from Southwest.
"We're new, and the challenge is we're 70 percent a recreational market," he said. "Airlines like to go to a business market where they have a strong base, and that's where we're working with the (Economic Development Alliance), the (Tourist Development Council), the (chambers of commerce) to grow businesses in Bay County and the region."

A few months ago a customer in my shop mentioned that she needed to replace a bangle, the way she said it sounded like she had lost it so I helped her to pick out a new one. Then, she told me that the silver had turned black as (if my memory serves me right!) she had worn it in a hot tub. I then said told her that her jewellery was not ruined and that this was absolutely normal – and easy to fix! Off she went to polish her jewellery and I thought I should write down how to clean your jewellery..
Silver facts
All silver will tarnish, except pure 100% silver. The most used silver, which is what I use, is 925 Sterling silver. This means that 92.5% silver, and 7.5% other material – usually copper, this other alloy is the cause of the tarnishing. So if you Sterling silver piece of jewellery goes a little black, don't worry! It is not bad quality silver and it can be easily fixed, as you will see below.
Why does this happen and how can I avoid it?
Living by the rule "First off, last on" is a good one. Take your jewellery off before changing and getting into bed. And put any lotions and potions on your skin (including perfume) before you put on your chosen piece of jewellery.
Now, I will not pretend that I am immune to these mistakes… My hands have been really dry so I have been using savlon – turns out that will turn the skin around your gold rings black !!
Another can be humidity or the environment you live in. And sometimes even the type of natural oils on your skin, that everyone has, can react with the silver. And try to keep your jewellery in a jewellery box, or the little box/bag it came in.
What can I do?
Polishing Cloth: Get one of these! They are amazing and will last forever so you just need one for all of your jewellery, for years to come! The key is to NOT wash them, they start to look a little grimy but that actually helps it to polish your jewellery better. I try to clear out my jewellery box every few weeks and do a quick polish. There is also a special one for gold piecesYou can get them in my shop for £2 or simply get in touch and I will send it to you free post.
Silver dip: A great option for rings, earrings and anything that doesn't have gemstones is this silver dip. I just googled silver dip a few years ago and bought this. It's fab and leaves things so sparkly! There are loads out on the market so have a look at what takes your fancy.
Send them my way! Sometimes your much loved jewellery needs some extra TLC, I can easily get wee scratches out and have them looking as good as new. In the mean time, take some time out to give your silver a little polish here and there to keep them looking great for years to come.
Hope this helps! If you need any other tips just let me know..

Retrieved from "https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Wallet&oldid=3744449"
The Wallet is an item in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. It belongs to a Toad from the Mushroom Kingdom. During the events of the game, Croco steals it from him, as well as Mallow's Frog Coin. When both party members defeat Croco, he gives up the Frog Coin, and unintentionally drops the Wallet upon leaving.
If the player returns the item to the Toad, he gives him a Flower Tab. Later, when the player talks to that particular Toad whose Wallet has been returned, the Toad gives Mario a Flower Tab or a Frog Coin. Alternately, the player has the option of selling the Wallet for 123 coins at a Shop. However, the Toad remains very mad at Mario for the rest of game if he finds out.

Western Cape Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Patricia de Lille's resignation has opened up the door for her deputy Bonginkosi Madikizela to take over the reins in the province.
Who Is Bonginkosi Madikizela?
Madikizela was a former member of the African National Congress (ANC) who rose to prominence in 2005 when he led a group of disaffected ANC members in Makhaza, Khayelitsha in a leadership battle against ANC's Mcebisi Skwatsha.
Madikizela and his men were staunch loyalists of former Western Cape Premier and ANC provincial chairman Ebrahim Rasool at the time.
He later joined the UDM in 2007 and was elected as Cape Town Metro regional secretary. Later, a party investigation found that he had secretly recruited party members to join the DA.

Afterwards, the City of Cape Town hired Madikizela as its communication officer and later a spokesman for the office of the Cape Town mayor Helen Zille. In October 2008 he fully joined the DA and was subsequently appointed as Housing MEC by Helen Zille.
Bonginkosi Madikizela will lead the opposition party in the region until an elective conference can be held. The conference is likely to hold at the end of the year as announced by Maimane's spokesperson Mabine Seabe.
"…. the deputy leader in the province Bonginkosi Madikizela will take over the leadership of the party until a conference is convened, which is most likely at the end of the year," Seabe said.
Mayor Patricia de Lille submitted her resignation letter on Monday to DA leader Mmusi Maimane, citing that she resigned as DA leader in WC to focus on her mayoral work. She further stated that the "responsibility of a two-thirds majority was weighing heavily on her".
Maimane's spokesperson Seabe confirmed the resignation, stating that it would come into effect from February 1.
Meanwhile, acting provincial leader Madikizela has refuted claims that there is a power tussle going on in the party following Patricia De Lille's resignation as provincial chairperson.
He maintained that De Lille's surprise decision has nothing to do with any alleged 'war' within the party, as speculated by party insiders, the African National Congress and media.
Information from DA insiders had it that De Lille and Western Cape Premier Helen Zille have been having clashes on leadership questions.
"There is a very serious contestation and interference on the leadership of the DA, a rupture between Hellen Zille and Patricia on leadership questions. The conservatives and liberals are fighting for their space," the source said.

Role as Acting Democratic Alliance (DA) Leader
The DA's national leadership is characterised by both diversity and depth of experience. With their roots in the struggle against apartheid and featuring a proven record of delivery where they govern, the DA's leadership team are working to bring a better life to all South Africans.
Becoming one of the DA's major leaders, Bonginkosi Madikizela called for unity, urging party members to put their differences aside in order to save the country. He said many DA supporters were starting to feel disillusioned and the party needed to make them feel valued again. Speaking further, he added that many people, particularly in the rural areas, are yet to feel the presence of the Democratic Alliance
In a recent report, Madikizela has also expressed concern about on-going problems within its Cape Town caucus. This was in regard to the resignation of caucus chairperson Suzette Little. According to Madikizela, change is needed in the caucus leadership for stability. He said things couldn't get any worse in that caucus, hence any leader would be concerned with what is happening in the City of Cape Town.
Referring to the upcoming 2019 election, Madikizela said the only opposition for the DA in the Western Cape is the DA.
"The only people who can give those opposition parties an opportunity to sneak in are the DA members. So we have to fix the problem there as the DA so we can start focusing our attention on the voters," he said.
Meanwhile, the party's Federal Executive and provincial leaders are reviewing the Cape Town caucus leadership following the resignation of its chairperson, Little.


text: Human T-cell Leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and type 2 (HTLV-2) are pathogenic retroviruses that infect humans and cause severe hematological and neurological diseases. MTA-1. On the INNO-LIA strip, it reacted faintly with the generic p19 (I/II), but strongly to the generic gp46 (I/II) and to the specific HTLV-2 gp46. The molecular relationships between Pyl43 and STLV-3 are thus not paralleled by the serological results, as most of the STLV-3 infected monkeys have an "HTLV-2 like" WB pattern. In the context of the multiple interspecies transmissions which occurred in the past, and led to the present-day distribution of the PTLV-1, it HSPB1 is thus very tempting to speculate that this buy LDC1267 newly discovered human retrovirus HTLV-3 might be widespread, at least in the African continent. Findings Three types of Primate T-cell lymphotropic viruses (PTLVs) have been discovered so far in primates [1]. While two of them i.e. PTLV-1 and PTLV-2 include human (HTLV-1, HTLV-2) and simian (STLV-1, STLV-2) viruses, the third type (STLV-3) consists only, so far, of simian strains. Sequence comparisons of STLV-3 proviruses indicated that these strains are highly divergent from HTLV-1 (60% nucleotide similarity), HTLV-2 (62%), or STLV-2 (62%) buy LDC1267 prototype sequences. In all phylogenetic analyses, STLV-3 viruses cluster in a highly supported group, indicating an evolutionary lineage independent from PTLV-1 and PTLV-2. Nevertheless, STLV-3 lineage is composed of at least three subtypes that are corresponding more or less to the geographical origin of the virus (East, West or Central Africa) [2-9]. Most of the viruses belonging to the PTLV-1 type cannot be separated into distinct phylogenetic lineages according to their species of origin. Their intermixing has therefore been inferred as an evidence for past or recent interspecies transmission episodes. The hypothesis of viral transmission from monkeys to humans is supported by an increasing number of observations [1]. Thus, it has been proposed that HTLV strains related to STLV-3 might infect human populations living in areas where STLV-3 is present. Cameroon has a remarkable diversity of retroviruses. All the subtypes of HIV-1 group M (A to H) are present, subtype-recombinant strains co-circulate, and HIV-1 groups O and N have been reported. Besides, HTLV-1 subtypes B and D as well as HTLV-2 type A and B are also present in Cameroonian individuals, while STLV-1 and STLV-3 strains have been isolated from several non-human primates (NHPs) species living in this region [3,4,8]. We therefore conducted a study to search for HTLV variants in Cameroonian individuals with HTLV-1/2 indeterminate serology. This survey was approved by both the national (Cameroon Ministry of Health and their National Ethics committee) and local authorities (village chief) with information to each participant. An oral informed consent was obtained from each participant (adults or parents for minors). A series of 240 blood samples was obtained from Bakola (n = 64) and Baka (n = 65) Pygmies, while others buy LDC1267 (n = 111) were obtained from Bantous (mainly from the Fang, Mvae and Ngumba tribes). All these individuals (117 women and 123 men, mean age 44, range 10C75 years) live in remote villages in the rain forest area of the Southern part of Cameroon. The 240 plasma were tested at a 1/40 dilution for the presence of HTLV-1/2 antibodies with a highly sensitive immunofluorescence test (IF), that uses MT2 and C19 as HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 viral antigen producing cells respectively. This test also allows the detection of STLV-3 positive samples [4,5]. The 48 plasma that were IF reactive on MT2, C19 or both, were further tested by western blot (WB HTLV BLOT 2.4; Genelabs Diagnostics, Singapore). Among the 48 samples tested, 4 and 11 WB patterns were very evocative of HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 infection respectively, while 27 exhibited diverse HTLV incomplete patterns, including some HTLV-1 indeterminate gag profile (HGIP). Six samples.
