Briefcases generally don't even begin to excite me. Basic, bland, and boring, they're a utilitarian essential that every corporate man in your life needs. While I can say I have turned my head around and said, "Wow, now THAT is a nice suit!" I can't say I have ever had the same reaction to any briefcase I have met. Until now; meet Ullu's Premium Leather Briefcase!
If you like your leather like you like your wines (fine), you're going to love the Ullu Premium Leather Briefcase. This briefcase is the knockout accessory of the corporate world and the man in your life needs one. It would also make a great pic for a recent college grad, as we're almost upon that time of year and this is certainly something unique for a man to receive.
I'm a real fussbudget when it comes to leather. I've spent my life owning horses, and they come with pretty premium leather accessories, so I expect everything made of leather to be that superior. I also used to design high end Italian leather handbags, so that also doesn't help me be less relentless with leather quality. I expect all the leather I let into my life to be exceptional, and I have to say, Ullu's briefcase is made of the good stuff.
Crafted from Genuine Italian Leather, it's soft, supple, sumptuous, yet you won't have to worry about this holding up to everyday use. It's clear that it can. Another thing I appreciate about leather this nice is that it will age well and develop a patina, which is a subtle luster. Basically, your briefcase will also age like a fine wine, so you don't have to worry.
This briefcase has a quiet, understated elegance, but the only thing simple about it is that it's simply stunning. It's the perfect size to carry around all your necessities, without being overly large. It would even fit as carry on, if the man in your life is a guy on the go. That's a nice feature too for anyone that takes a lot of business trips. It also comes with a strap so you can choose to carry it, or sling it over your shoulder. It's nice to have both options! The strap is comfortably padded so you can wear it for long periods of time without a problem.
This briefcase is remarkably well made. The stitching is precise and well done. The hardware on the briefcase such as the buckles for the straps as well as the zippers are also quality. Corners were not cut for the sake of saving a dollar here, which is refreshing to see in a world where everything is mass produced and quality suffers in order to cut costs. I also have to say the handles are perfect. It's very easy to carry this briefcase without having it slide around in your hands. Nobody has time for that on their way to the office.
The interior of the briefcase is lined with microfibre, so you won't have to worry about your electronics and gadgets getting jostled around. They're sure to be well protected. This briefcase is exceptionally put together and there is no doubt in my mind it will hold up to everyday use and getting banged around on a commute. Let's be realistic here, that happens. It's part of life. It pays to invest in a briefcase that can handle the wear and tear of corporate living.
Speaking of your electronics and gadgets, all of them will easily fit in this briefcase. It was specifically designed to hold a Macbook, no matter the size. Your iPad, cables, chargers, and work files will all fit nicely too. There is even a pocket inside dedicated to keeping your smartphone safe. There are quite a few pockets and compartments, so you can keep everything organized and protected!
The bottom line is this briefcase is the knockout accessory of the corporate world and the man in your life needs one. Your husband, boyfriend, father, uncle, you name it they need it. So let's recap what we love:
- The design is simply stunning
- The leather is quality
- Exceptionally well made; will hold up to everyday use & getting banged around on the commute
- Can easily fit all your electronics and gadgets
- Plenty of pockets and compartments to help you stay organized
You can get one of Ullu's Premium Leather Briefcases for yourself here on their website. They come in a variety of beautiful colors!

This Week's Key Question
"What is the World Drone Prix?'
This Week's Guest
Omar Al Olama is Secretary General of the World Organization of Racing Drones in Dubai.
Halfway across the world, more than 100 drone racing teams from all over the world are competing in the first World Drone Prix race in Dubai. Thirty-two qualifying teams will compete for the global champion's purse of total prizes of one million dollars – the biggest purse of its kind to date.
Mentioned Links
- World Drone Prix (www.worlddroneprix.com)
- UAE Drones for Good (www.dronesforgood.ae)
Show Notes
- [01:30] Introduction to Omar Al Olama
- [01:50] The World Drone Prix. Omar compares the World Drone Prix to Formula 1 racing, which includes a racing season that brings together the best racing teams in the world to compete in a series of races held in different countries.
- [02:14] The World Organisation of Racing Drones. The World Organisation of Racing Drones is the entity organizing the races and promoting the humanitarian uses of drones.
- [04:07] Why Dubai. Omar discusses the goal of the United Arab Emirates to promote the positive applications of drones. The World Drone Prix follows on the UAE successful "Drones For Good" campaign and it's only natural that the country would seek other ways, like drone racing, to support and promote this Drones for Good message.
- [05:09] The Competitors. Teams were selected from all over the world, using an approach adapted from American Idol to reach as many interested peoples as possible.. The first round of qualifications involved submitting videos to the World Organisation of Racing Drones. From these submissions and from targeted events in certain countries, the list was narrowed 150 teams.
- [06:04] The Schedule. The first two days of the week long World Drone Prix will determine the 32 teams that will qualify for the World Drone Prix.
- [07:31] Meet and Greet Events. The Organisation held a series of Meet, Greet and Fly events in selected countries as pre-qualification events. These events were also used to help inform and educate the public about the World Drone Prix and the humanitarian uses of drones.
- [09:34] Crowdsourcing. The Organisation of Racing Drones used crowdsourcing methods to get feedback from the drone racing community of the rules and racing code for the World Drone Prix. The objective was to involve and build consensus on the racing framework.
- [10:41] The Teams. The World Drone Prix emphasizes teams over individual pilots. This is similar to Formula 1 racing and helps to build fan loyalty. It also recognizes that drone racing requires specialized roles, such as the pilot, technician, navigator and pit crew.
- [12:45] The Track. One of the things that immediately stands out is the track at Dubai. It is an amazing and challenging track. Omar discusses some of the considerations that went into the design and how it will challenge the pilots?
- [14:24] The Spectator Experience. About 10,000 fans are expected to view the races and with upwards of 20 million viewing live streaming via the World Drone Prix website and other media outlets.
- [15:07] Challenges. Now that racing has begun, the key challenge is continuing to promote the message of the value of drones to humanity. It's not just a race. The race is a means for communicating the Drones for Good message to a mass audience.
- [16:18] After Dubai. The World Organisation of Racing Drones is coordinating with other countries to host future Drone Prix events. Look for announcements in the weeks ahead.
- [17:16] Final Comments. The whole point of the Drone Grand Prix is to create a better future for people and to establish legitimate sport around drone racing.
- [18:11] Closing.

(Humans Are Free) A Swedish woman who was raped by a Syrian refugee in March this year has committed suicide. The horrible news was made public by Swedish investigative journalist Joakim Magnus Lamotte.
The woman chose to end her life by overdosing on her medication; she felt devastated in aftermath of her violent rape and the failure to prosecute the perpetrator exacerbated her sense of low worth.
She was raped in her own apartment during the evening and according to involved Swedish investigative journalist Lamotte she reportedly told police: →

"Ok, so tell me the truth." "I only wish I knew the truth." "I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth …"
So what is it about truth that is so important to us? What does knowing the truth provide for us? And do we really want to know the truth? About ourselves? About the 'real' uncomfortable world we live in? Truth is an interesting commodity. It is not the same as 'facts.' Without our concern to know it, or at least promote it, the world would grind to a halt.
Maybe we are like Colonel Jessep (played by Jack Nicholson opposite Tom Cruise) in the film "A Few Good Men" who shouts out in the courtroom, "You don't want the truth. You can't handle the truth!" The question is: Can I, and can my client?
An appreciation of Truth is an essential ingredient in every aspect of human life. It is the basis for all trusting and at the core of human interaction. Without it we live in a fantasy world, a world of distortion, a world where we are vulnerable to being deceived and taken advantage of.
In emotional health terms, truth plays another very important part. It helps us grow up. Small children know nothing of the big world in which they live. A baby is ignorant of everything beyond its simple familial relationships. As it grows up it learns about the world, letting go of some of its initial impressions and facing some of the harder truths about life. Wise parents will do their best to pace the speed at which truth arrives in the lap of their kids. Too much too soon creates trauma, and doesn't allow time for the young person to adjust their life to fit. Too little hampers the process of maturity.
People also face situations where they decide "Don't tell me, I don't want to know", or "Too much information!" (See 'Sufficient Truth' below.)
Corrective Truth Technique is used by our coaches to increase self-confidence, boost emotional strength, and establish an immovable foundation for future development of the client's life. It is easy to assume that all unknown truth is unpalatable, will hurt us. But not so. Truth can be astoundingly liberating and wonderfully beneficial. It can feel like winning the lottery (Though I've never bought a ticket let alone won anything!)
Applied Corrective Truth via Powerchange's Corrective Truth Technique can be used to undermine the subjective inhibiting beliefs the client has constructed from their experience of the world. "The thing is, I'm rubbish." "I'm hopeless at most things." "You can't trust anybody these days." All not true of course. Corrective Truth professionally applied to the depths of a person can (…will, does…) transform a client's thinking and renew their zest for living tomorrow.
Sufficient Truth.
No one in their right mind wants to know – or can know, or can tell – "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" The well known legal phrase makes a mockery of the UK legal system, not least because the person who makes that commitment is deceiving themselves and the court already. Each of us is selective about the truth, even those who want to 'tell the truth' cannot do so. The 'Whole Truth' isn't available for them to tell.
I've found that a commitment to seek out and personally tell 'sufficient truth' is often a good guide, and better still, for me to set out to be trustworthy. I like to live by a Personal Mission statement I put together to guide my life in 2002. Part of that Mission is "To seek truth, and keep eternity in view." The truth is, I don't always tell the truth, but I'm committed to seeking it and knowing it, and living in it as a long term goal. Yes, sometimes I withhold it. I ask, "How much of the truth is going to be helpful for this person to know?" "How detailed does this need to be for them to understand it and accept it?" "Do I have their best interests at heart as well as my own when I tell them the truth?"
Powerchange coaches use Corrective Truth Technique to establish a reliable foundation in our clients' lives that is 'truth'-based and is in turn able to support more Truth. We allow it time to 'set', to harden like concrete, and on that sound base the client can build his or her new life, one that won't crack when the storms come.
However uncomfortable to discover, the Truth can provide a new and more reliable personal foundation when apparently 'good' things that we have for decades consistently believed to be true are revealed to be deception. "I always thought you were my sister. I can't believe you didn't tell me all these years you are actually my Mum." Yet when I ask the client "Aren't you glad that at least now you know the truth?" Almost without exception the person will say yes. The truth is very attractive.
However liberating or unpalatable Truth may be – and it is often both in some measure – there's one thing that will always make our Corrective Truth Technique very attractive …
It reveals the Truth.

Building the Bridge to a Better Life
Close friends and coworkers know Gwen Boyd-Willis as a woman of faith. They call her "The Bridge" in her ministry because she's always there to connect people in their time of need.
"I help people get the help that they need," Gwen said. "If I can't help you, I'll find somebody that can."
But before becoming The Bridge, Gwen needed a few bridges of her own back to society after serving time in prison. She's the first to admit her mistakes: She was arrested in 2005 after using a card left in an ATM to withdraw money and make purchases. Prosecutors initially charged Gwen with nine offenses, but reduced them to four after she cooperated with their investigation.
She was sentenced to four months in a women's detention center and then 10 years of probation. Gwen knew she needed to turn her life around, and set out to do it — earning a bachelor's degree in criminal justice administration and master's degrees in religious studies and divinity. But despite her achievements, she still struggled to find full-time employment due to her criminal record. "I missed out on a lot of great jobs," she said. "It's that stigma that's attached to it, I guess."
Just last year, when she applied to be a counselor at a youth detention center, Gwen got as far as interviews for the position — and then no further. "They loved me," she said, recalling that they were going to hire her, "but when my record came back, they couldn't." She's been working part-time as a chaplain for an employee well-being provider, but wanted to make an even bigger impact.
"I just didn't give up," Gwen said. She'd learned about the Georgia Justice Project, a nonprofit that works to provide legal representation and tools, and decided to apply for assistance to help clear her record. The organization selected her case out of a stack of many.
Assigned to her case: Michael Davis, a longtime attorney with Georgia-Pacific in Atlanta. Michael volunteered his time as part of Koch Industries' companywide pro bono initiative to expand justice opportunities for all in the communities where we operate. Over the last year, Koch employees provided more than 470 pro bono hours of service. More than a quarter of Koch's legal team is involved, and the effort is expanding across the United States and United Kingdom.
"It's the right thing for us to do, both as Georgia-Pacific and as a larger Koch company," Michael said. Practicing law for nearly four decades, he knew about the barriers that people like Gwen face even after they've served their sentences. Before Michael's 28 years at Georgia-Pacific, he'd worked for the state prosecutor's office. "Granted, that was many, many years ago, but the system has not changed all that much," he said.
Michael saw Gwen's persistence when they met to review her case in early 2019. "As we were working through this, she had a great attitude," he said. "When I said, 'Gwen, we need this,' she would go out and get it. The perfect client."
Michael felt good about the likelihood of securing a pardon, even though the state has granted fewer of them in recent years and had already denied Gwen's applications twice.
Every three weeks or so, Michael and Gwen would meet at Georgia Justice Project's headquarters, poring over documents and drafts for hours on end. They finally submitted for her pardon earlier this year, only to find the COVID-19 pandemic had slowed the process with the State Board of Pardons and Paroles. And so, they waited, as Michael kept tabs on minute developments, helping his client navigate the ins and outs of the process.
Then, in early August, a letter arrived in Gwen's mailbox, more than a year and a half after she first met with Michael. On her third attempt, at long last, her pardon was granted.
"When I received that letter, I cried for about 30 minutes. And I've just been sharing with a lot of people that were great supporters during that time for me. So, I'm still in awe," Gwen said. "I'm just thankful and grateful that the board decided to give it to me, because I worked so hard. I'm not the same person today that I was 15 years ago anyway. I'm glad I don't have it hanging over my head anymore."
As Gwen ponders her next move amid uncertainty from the pandemic, she still works part-time as a chaplain.
"I felt good the system worked for her, to know that she could now have an opportunity to go out and find full-time work like she wanted in her chosen field," said Michael, who is now exploring recent changes in state law that might enable Gwen to get her records sealed. That would open the door to even greater job opportunities and fulfillment.
Seeing so many doors closed, Gwen said, "could tear a person down to where they're not going to try again and they're going to give up." Getting through the rough parts, she said, is equal parts mindset and perseverance.
As Gwen puts it: "Are you going to continue to try to strive and not take 'no' for answer? Are you going to let them tell you, 'You can't have this job,' and you're going to accept it and not try to keep moving forward?"
She wants to be an example for others facing similar circumstances, to be their bridge.
"I would just try to help walk with them. Walk through the process. That's just the kind of person that I am. I would try to help them myself," Gwen said. "If I can't do it, I'll find somebody that can, and refer them. And stay in contact with them to try to see the process all the way out, because that's what most people need: support."

There are various kinds of segways that are available in the market and you will even manage to find some really tech savvy and advanced segways that can be synced with your smartphone or Tablet. There are apps that help you control the segway so it becomes easier to balance on it.
Segways come with 3 different wheel sizes and the largest wheel base is around 10 inches. These larger wheels help you to balance more comfortably on the road and this makes it easier for you to learn how to use a segway from scratch and without falling off it too much. Once you get used to the segway you might need to switch to one with a smaller wheel base because a small wheel base will help you to ride around faster and enter various segway racing competitions thereby making you a segway expert. With the larger wheel you will not be able to ride any faster because of the restrictions.
The demand for segways has been increasing by the day and if you are wondering what are the different segways then the best thing to do is check them online. While you will find physical stores that sell segways, it is a good idea to invest in a segway that you find online. This is because you can compare the different kind of segways that you can pick from and you can even read customer reviews and decide which ones are better and which ones are the ones you should avoid. It will also help you to understand which segways are designed for beginners and which ones are for the expert. In case you believe that a segway makes you lazy the truth is that you require a lot of muscle strength and balance in order to ride on a segway and this actually helps your muscles to exercise.

Obama's Brother Says: 'Dishonest' Barack Obama abandoned family. Even Malik Obama the Half Brother of Barack Obama Now Has Doubts About Barack's True Paternity.
Excerpt from article by Dr. Jerome Corsi of WorldNetDaily.com: " …In the interview, Gilbert asked Malik if he believed Barack Obama Jr. had a resemblance to Davis.
"There's a great resemblance," Malik agreed. "I think Frank Marshall Davis and Barack do look alike."
Malik referenced the facial moles and pigmentation spots that appear to indicate a genetic link between the two men.
Gilbert then asked Malik if he thought Obama Jr. resembled Obama Sr.
"Not really, I don't," Malik replied. "Your movie definitely puts a lot of questions in my mind."
Gilbert asked Malik if he would "like to see or do a DNA test one day to know for sure."
"That would really prove whether we are related or not," Malik responded. "Yes. I would be willing to do that. I don't know how I'd deal with it, if it really came out that he is a fraud or a con." … "

A warning from the past — some conspiracies are very real and are also large and well organized and in process for a long time. Such is the nature of old-school KGB and SDS Communist activities, and more recently Marxist-Fascist groups temporarily allied with Radical Political Islamist activities, in the USA. My enemy's enemy is my friend is the old adage. And to the Marxist and Islamist a strong USA is the enemy. The target and goal of the seditious political conspiracy we are currently faced with is to destroy our U.S. Constitution, our Republic, our culture, and dramatically weaken our military. Remember this quote from history. But when reading it today substitute Marxist-Facist or Islamist for the current threats we face: "We must now face the harsh truth that the objectives of communism [anti-American Marxist-Leninist-Fascism allied against us with Radical Political Islam] are being steadily advanced because many of us do not recognize the means used to advance them. … The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a Conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst." Quote by: J. Edgar Hoover former FBI director. Source: Elks Magazine (August 1956). His message applies today equally as well as it did when he stated it in 1956.
Marxist/Communists are trained to lie. It's their modus operandi to deceive their true objectives. Obama is not just a pathological liar, he's an ideological liar: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2013/12/obama_is_not_a_pathological_liar_he_is_an_ideological_liar.html
Obama lies continually to cover his true nature and objectives. Obama named Liar of the Year. Obama is a secret member of Muslim Brotherhood. They are trained to lie and they using the Islamic principles of TAQIYYA and KITMAN on steroids to hide their anti-American activities.

You've created it. Your friends have created, and you've seen it all over social media whether you know it or not. We're talking User-Generated Content (UGC). User-generated content is an affordable and inexpensive means of building credibility for your business. It's about showing your customers that you care about their needs and it helps foster a human connection. UGC can prove very beneficial for your business. Why? Because your offerings are being praised by your audience's peers. It can take the form of a nice comment on Facebook, a curated photo of one of your meals posted to Instagram or a rave review on Yelp. Think of it as word of mouth but digital.
Now that we know what UGC is and how beneficial it can be, the next step is to determine the type of UGC you want and strategize towards it for the best results. Here are some tips to help you devise a UGC plan for your business:
Engage Your Audience:
In order to engage your audience, have them interact with your brand and provide you with UGC, you need to put a focus on engaging content. A simple way to do this is by asking questions in your social media posts. For example, if you're a restaurant, you can ask what everyone's favorite dish is. You can also encourage people to leave reviews on Google, Yelp or Facebook. If you want to amp things up a notch, you can partner with micro-influencers or you can host giveaways where an entry requirement is to leave a review, comment about what they love about your business, etc.
Selecting the Best UGC:
Not all UGC is created equal. When selecting which content to share or repost, first look at things like grammar, quality of any visuals and overall shareability. Then, once you've compiled some options, strategize on how to get the most mileage out of these posts. To put this in context, pretend you're the owner of a clothing store and you have a pair of jeans that are about to go on sale. Say you also have a great review of these jeans. Instead of just randomly selecting content, use the review of the jeans to also highlight that they'll be going on sale.
Post Branded Hashtags:
Hashtags are a secret weapon for optimizing user-generated content. Consumers can easily look up content through branded hashtags. Try to keep your hashtags short, simple and unique to your business. Look at your competitors' hashtags and think strategically about phrases and words that best describe your offerings.
Sponsored and paid advertisements on social and digital have become redundant, and consumers may have a tendency to scroll past them. The right UGC strategy can be just what your business needs to create a connection that's meaningful, engaging and profitable.

What's Happening On Campus?
Connect @ TLU offers students a centralized digital hub for campus organizations activities, news and events to keep students informed, involved and connected.
Connect @ TLU sets students apart with a tool for reflection, allowing them to find broader applications for the experiences, knowledge and skills acquired in and outside the classroom.
How It Works
- Create your Profile, complete with picture, contact information and manage your privacy settings and notifications just like your social media accounts
- Get organization and event recommendations by selecting and ranking your interest in different subjects and categories
- Search the Organizations Directory by name, category or keyword
- Get to know organizations and its members and ask to join online
- Register for organizations and download necessary forms
- Manage your past and current organization memberships
- Check out the digital bulletin board for the latest events & news and post your event flyer
- Create events and stay organized with your custom calendar featuring organization and other events
- Create, organize, print and save your Co-Curricular Transcript to document your organization involvement and the experiences outside the classroom that have shaped your knowledge and skills
What It Does
The Connect Program is as unique to TLU as Compass, our general education curriculum. Compass and Connect compliment each other by linking learning inside and outside the classroom to broader social and job skills valued by prospective employers.
Connect also helps organize your involvement outside the classroom and related competencies that are similar to those required in Compass for graduation. Connect then collects all those experiences and skills and puts them into a personalized Co-Curricular Transcript and organizes them in the Bulldog Activity Registration Curriculum.
Your Co-Curricular Transcript
The Co-Curricular Transcript through Connect @ TLU is a record of a student's involvement in educational experiences taking place outside of the classroom at TLU.
The transcript reflects involvement and provides an opportunity to highlight leadership, decision-making, team-building, problem solving, communication, goal setting and networking skills. The Co-Curricular Transcript can be used to provide speaking points for job interviews, apply to grad schools, and showcase leadership experiences.
This transcript acts as a great tool to help build your resume and summarize the skills you acquired at TLU that set you apart from your peers when applying for jobs after graduation.
You'll be able to point to a specific experience and talk about how it shaped your approach to problem-solving, social issues, self-expression and leadership. At TLU, you'll learn how to recognize skill-building opportunities, refine those skills, apply them and reflect on how they make you ready to take on the world.
For more information about your Co-Curricular Transcript and how to access it, visit MyTLU (login required).
Bulldog Activity Registration Curriculum (BARC)
The Bulldog Activity Registration Curriculum (BARC) contains a collection of programs and activities designed to help students make the most of their collegiate experience.
BARC is a co-curricular program that will enhance student development beyond the classroom setting, encouraging students to network socially among peers and to include students in traditional and signature university events. Each year, a selection of events and activities will be available to students categorized by four domains.
*The icons you see here will appear on flyers, online advertisements, etc. for events that are part of each curriculum category.
BARC is completed by fulfilling three events or activities in each of the four domains for a total of 12. A student will have the most well-rounded experience by choosing to participate in a variety of events throughout the four domains each year. Connect @ TLU enables students to track and monitor progress towards completing the program. Students can complete BARC at their own pace. Throughout the year, drawings for prizes will be held for students on track to complete the curriculum. Recognition for completing the curriculum will occur at the end of the spring semester.
BARC is not a requirement for graduation and the Co-Curricular Transcript is not tied to the official university transcript.

The Nexa man's global orientation, combined with his penchant for travel and the good life makes him something of a connoisseur of fashion and luxury. A jet-setting travel enthusiast, he is often sky-bound by virtue of his work and his action-packed lifestyle. We check-off three simple, yet reliable rules, to fly #likeaboss.
Begin with the basics
A dark pair of well-fitted jeans, a crisp white shirt, a few solid coloured tees and comfortable innerwear and socks, are mandatory. A lightweight tracksuit is great for a quick workout at the hotel. If travel takes you to cooler climates, make sure to carry a plush cashmere scarf.
Pairing and pre-setting looks in advance make travel-dressing time effective and trendy. Investing in sleek suitcases of varying sizes is essential — a pull out and pack in regime ranging from day trips, /5 night-ers to longer hauls. Jet setters often have a signature element on their suitcase, for easy recognition off the conveyor belt in addition to a whole load of originality.
Versatile is the way
Key chameleon pieces are integral to stylish travel. Think a wool blend suit, black lace-ups, tan loafers, chinos and a navy cardigan. Commence packing with your shoes [shoe horns act as vital shape savers!] right at the bottom of your suitcase and work your way upward in ascending order of priority based on your itinerary. When you arrive at your destination, unpack into the hotel's closet, to access all your clothes at once. An all-weather jacket takes you across weather and time zones with ease. Traveling light comes down to investing in versatile pieces.
Grooming and accessories
A well-equipped grooming kit comprises mini bottles of aftershave, cologne, moisturizer, face foam and an efficient, new-age razor. Accessories range from a pair of mixed-metal or mother-of-pearl cufflinks, a two-way belt, a light and dark set of ties and a smart pen. Be sure to tuck away a few zip lock bags and wipes for quick fixes and last minute stashing. A laundry bag to store used items of clothing ensures that unpacking is as easy as packing like a pro!

How it feel to watch Kobe's last games
"I think he might score fifty." Those were words that everyone was saying during Kobe Bryant's final game for the Los Angeles Lakers. He had forty-five points by the 4:38 mark in the fourth quarter. However, the Lakers are down by well over ten points to the Utah Jazz and Kobe was 0-5 during the first quarter and was having issues with consistency during the game. Then in the final three minutes, the game changed and Kobe would go on to score sixty points in his final game. In those final minutes Kobe would go on to hit fade-aways one after the other and throughout the game, he would pass the ball to his teammates that would lead to beautiful dunks. The game itself wasn't perfect and that's what made it such a wonderful spectacle. For the second time on January 27th, 2020 fans got to see Kobe work hard and live up to his nickname "The Black Mamba" one last time.
It was bittersweet watching Kobe's last game and it's even more difficult after his death due to a helicopter crash that claimed not only his life but also his daughters and several other victims on January 26th, 2020. Watching this final game was similar to going back in time to 2016. The broadcast itself was a simple replay but for many viewers, it was something more. You could also describe the game was something similar to reading the last chapter in your favorite book or watching the final scene in your favorite performance on stage or on film. And what a way to end the broadcast where fans heard "Mamba out" for one last time from one of the best players ever to touch a basketball.
The sad part about all of this is that we will continue to learn more and more about Kobe's death in the weeks and maybe even months to come. We will continue to see people write a post about how Kobe has impacted their lives and we will continue to see current NBA players come to terms with this passing and even at the time of this article many players have already changed their numbers and even the Dallas Mavericks have retired No.24 in honor of Kobe Bryant.
Patrick Azar class of 2020 had an interesting quote in regards to not only watching the final game but also on Bryant's influence "I don't think there's a single game that better shows how tenacious Kobe was as a player. You could visibly see his frustration even after he dropped 40 because he knew he was capable of much more. It's that Mamba mentality that he was famous for, which not only changed the game of Basketball, but inspired competitors of all sports worldwide. Watching that game again was bittersweet. It was a great representation of Kobe's unique style and mentality but the camera shots of Gigi and his family was heartbreaking. Not only did we lose an influential competitor, but also someone who had the potential to become great in her own right".

Hot New Fishing Boats from Miami
The Miami boat shows are known as premier places to check out the latest saltwater fishing boats, and this year was no exception. This gallery presents more than a dozen new boats, most of them center consoles from about 30 to 40 feet, powered with multiple outboards, that were recently introduced in Miami.
Even bigger center consoles are on the way. Three companies presented model-size displays of their supersized open boats — from 52 to 65 feet — that will debut in the next year or two.
Center consoles shared the stage with other types of fishboats, ranging from 18-foot skiffs to 72-foot convertibles.
The shows on Collins Avenue and Virginia Key also showcased new marine electronics designed for anglers, such as the new GPS station-keeping devices that can be programmed to control a boat's drift. They're cool, and they're cutting-edge.
So sit back and enjoy the latest and greatest from Miami in the slideshow below:

The Sweet Sixteen is here and this year's matchups figure to be some of the best in the past few years. Big matchups such as Kentucky-Houston and Duke-Virginia Tech highlight this year's round of games but don't sleep on the other games.. or the teams that are featured in them.
Let's take a look at the underdogs with the best chances to pull of upsets come Thursday and Friday:
1. Auburn Tigers
The Auburn Tigers have proved to be one of toughest squads to beat all year with two impressive victories over Tennessee who is also in the Sweet Sixteen along with their most recent victory, a 14 point win over Kansas. Can the resilient bunch put it together once again and will they way to victory against Roy Williams and his #1 seeded North Carolina squad? We'll see.
2. Virginia Tech Hokies
The Hokies have a great chance at defeating Duke for two reasons. For one, they beat the Blue Devils before (yea Zion Williamson was out but a win is a win) and for two, Duke was a missed put back away from losing against UCF. The Hokies of Virginia Tech must capitalize on the Blue Devil's vulnerability if they want to win this matchup.
3. Florida State Seminoles
Let me be honest.. Florida State shouldn't be listed as an underdog. Although they've endured seven losses on the season they've managed huge wins against LSU, Purdue, Virginia Tech and Virginia, all whom are also in the Sweet Sixteen with the Seminoles. The fact that Gonzaga is a #1 seed helped to categorize the Seminoles as an underdog for their matchup, however don't be surprised if Mfiondu Kabengele and company are able to beat the Bulldogs.

"Everything out there is trying to kill you, soldier. If you figure that out quickly enough, you might live long enough to pass it on to the next batch of fresh casualties-to-be."
–Private Mercito Grant
Across the Spinward Front, Imperial Guard troopers contend with deadly adversaries, from the fanatical rebels of the Severan Dominate to the vicious Orks of Waaagh! Grimtoof, and from the insidious forces of the Dark Eldar to the profane minions of Chaos. Your mission may place you toe-to-toe with the worst the galaxy has to offer. Will you be prepared?
Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the upcoming release of Enemies of the Imperium , an upcoming supplement for Only War ! This comprehensive volume gives deeper insight into the deadly foes of the Imperial Guard who lurk in the Spinward Front. Enemies of the Imperium not only contains NPC profiles and guidance on how to deploy them in battle, but it also provides considerable information on how these factions make war on the Imperium and each other. Further, Enemies of the Imperium provides rules for managing Formations to facilitate squad-level combat and new resources for Guardsmen and Support Specialist characters who have cut their teeth against these deadly foes, surviving the worst that the Spinward Front can throw at them.
While new foes like brutal Ork Meganobz, lethal Archons, and dreaded Chaos Space Marines arm Game Masters with a host of options, new information on the factions, politics, and battlefields of the Spinward Front provides details and ideas to enhance Only War campaigns. Rules for Formations offer help running streamlined combats on a squad scale, and Veteran Talents, Kill Markers, and new Medals allow grizzled characters to earn new bonuses and abilities for their heroic battlefield endeavors.
A Word from the Developer
For more on Enemies of the Imperium , here's a word from lead developer Max Brooke:
The Imperial Guard is defined by both the stalwart valor of its soldiers and the terrible odds these troopers face whenever they take the field. From xenos monstrosities to the horrors that humans make of themselves to things more chilling still, the Spinward Front is filled savage enemies who can test the bodies and wills of even the most renowned and stubborn soldiers of the Imperial Guard.
Enemies of the Imperium is a primer for Game Masters that covers the brutal foes Imperial Guardsmen struggle against in the Spinward Front. This volume contains deadly enemies ranging from scornful Dark Eldar Incubi to fearsome Ork Squiggoths to Chaos Space Marines, the forsaken champions of the Dark Gods. In addition to the profiles for these and many other dreadful foes, Enemies of the Imperium includes tactics for deploying each of these threats against your Player Characters to create challenging and memorable combat encounters.
Beyond these tactical matters, Enemies of the Imperium also focuses on the strategic position of each faction of foes in the Spinward Front. The Severan Dominate struggles desperately to maintain its position even as the Orks of Waaagh! Grimtoof barrel heedlessly down upon it (and anyone else they happen to encounter). Meanwhile, the Children of Thorns Kabal pursues its secretive agendas while stoking the fires of conflict for reasons unknown. Other factions have also flocked to the fertile war-ground that is the Spinward Front. Kroot mercenaries stalk the worlds of this realm, taking their pay from anyone who offers it or hunting worthy prey, and Chaos warbands carry out their vile depredations upon targets left vulnerable by the turmoil, seeking plunder, corrupted relics, or merely to venerate their Dark Gods through bloodshed. Each of these groups has its own objectives, strategies, and methods, and Enemies of the Imperium sheds light upon their actions in the Spinward Front and the violent battles they fight—with the Imperial Guard and with each other.
Enemies of the Imperium is full of resources to help Game Masters tell new stories and wage new wars in the Spinward Front, and I'm looking forward to hearing about the desperate ingenuity and bitter victories of Player Characters standing against the foes and challenges this volume provides.
Keep checking back for more in the coming weeks, and look for Enemies of the Imperium on store shelves in the third quarter of 2013. Stand firm and prepare for the fight of your life!
Only War is a Warhammer 40,000 roleplaying game in which players take on the roles of soldiers in the Imperial Guard, the galaxy-spanning armies of the God-Emperor. In the face of overwhelming opposition, Guardsmen fight against mankind's many enemies for the very survival of humanity and the continuation of the Imperium's dominance over space.

* Handed up by an Orange County, N.C., grand jury, the indictment charged Nyang'oro with "unlawfully, willfully and feloniously" accepting payment "with the intent to cheat and defraud" the university in connection with the AFAM course — a virtually unheard-of legal accusation against a professor.

* This paper uses annual variation in temperature and precipitation over the past 50 years to examine the impact of climatic changes on economic activity throughout the world. We find three primary results. First, higher temperatures substantially reduce economic growth in poor countries but have little effect in rich countries. Second, higher temperatures appear to reduce growth rates in poor countries, rather than just the level of output. Third, higher temperatures have wide-ranging effects in poor nations, reducing agricultural output, industrial output, and aggregate investment, and increasing political instability. Analysis of decade or longer climate shifts also shows substantial negative effects on growth in poor countries. Should future impacts of climate change mirror these historical effects, the negative impact on poor countries may be substantial.

What all these efforts have in common is that they are all perfectly legal, and yet they all violate the norms of how American politics had been practiced for decades or even for centuries.

Special Agent Elsa Myers is in demand in the FBI's Child Abduction Rapid Deployment Team. But she is also needed by her family as her father is on his death bed. But aside from her father and sister, work is all she has. So when a seventeen-year-old girl doesn't come home from work at a New York City coffee shop, Special Agent Myers leaves her father's bedside to consult—just a consult, she'll be back that evening--with NYPD Det. Lex Cole. But when the case turns personal, Elsa knows she'll see it through.
As Elsa investigates the missing girl and deals with her father's terminal illness, her past comes back to haunt her. Her father begs her to let go, to allow his death, the sale of her childhood home, to free her. But it isn't always easy, especially when Det. Cole is there, trying to be her new best friend when what she wants is a partner that minds his own business.
A Map Of The Dark is a police procedural that uniquely has the FBI working in cooperation with local law enforcement, a welcome change. Also refreshing is the altruistic work of law enforcement. They want to rescue the missing victim; no one-upping, no competition, no corruption. It is an efficiently written combination of plot and character that will hold the interest of crime fiction fans.

Who else gets the feeling that filming the upcoming boys coming-of-age movie Twenty was like going on an extended retreat for leads Kim Woo Bin, Kang Ha Neul, and Junho? Sure they were required to act, but the movie looks like such a riot and their performances have this limber relaxed vibe like they were halfway being themselves in showcasing three best friends hitting adulthood together. The movie comes out this month and will be yet another test/confirmation as to the rising leading man status of Kim Woo Bin, not to mention additional good exposure in a hip young movie for Kang Ha Neul and Junho.
The leading ladies are only briefly glimpsed and include Min Hyo Rin, Jung So Min, and Lee Yoo Bi, but all the attention remain trained on the three male leads as this is a bromance-centric movie. The full movie trailer was released last week and fleshes out the personalities and issues surrounding the three man-boys. Kim Woo Bin is a layabout who breaks up with his girlfriend to date a rich girl rather than figure out his career path. Kang Ha Neul is studious but find his studies interrupted when he falls for his pretty sunbae in school. And Junho is the hardworking responsible one of the bunch who puts in the most effort but doesn't get the commensurate rewards.

Banana Sheera is a regular recipe in every household. Minor variations give varied and delicious taste to the very basic sheera recipe. One such variation is the addition of kesar elaichi syrup which is easily available in stores. I bought mine from a konkan outlet at an exhibition. If you love the flavour of saffron and cardamom together, go ahead and try it, tastes yumm.
- 1/2 cup semolina (thick rawa*)
- 10 to 12 cashews
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust sweetness to individual choice)
- 2 1/2 tbsp ghee
- 1 cup hot milk
- 1 or 2 elaichi banana sliced into thin roundels
- 1/4 th tsp cardamom powder
- 1 tsp Kesar elaichi syrup
- Kesar/Saffron to garnish(optional)
- In a deep pan,heat 1 tsp ghee,add in the cashews and roast it till cashews are golden in colour. Remove and keep aside.
- In the same pan add the rest of the ghee, add semolina and roast till you get its aroma and changes colour.An indicator that the semolina is nicely roasted is you'll get it's aroma even at a distance. Boil milk simultaneously while roasting the rawa.
- Add hot milk and stir well. Be careful while adding the milk as its real hot and it splutters when you add it to hot rawa. This is one of the reasons a deep pan should be used. The rawa will fluff up, mix well. Add 1 tsp kesar elaichi syrup, mix well so that the colour of the syrup gels well with the rawa. Cover and cook on low flame till the rawa fluffs up and is cooked. Stir well occassionally if not the mix will stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Add sugar,sliced banana and stir well. The sugar will melt and then start thickening. Cover and cook until the sheera is fluffy.Add cardamom powder and leave 2 tsp ghee from the sides( optional) and mix well.
- Garnish with fried cashews and a few strands of kesar/ saffron. Serve hot.
- Adjust sugar to individual taste keeping in mind kesar elaichi syrup is saffron soaked in sugar concentrate.
- Adjust ghee quantity to your liking.
- Adding hot milk to the rawa results in a fluffy sheera.
- Adding kesar is optional.
- *Thick rawa is one shade thicker than chiroti rawa, just little coarse not very coarse.
