Mumbai, Sep 11, 2017: There was a time back in the early 2000s when eroticas turned out to be areasonably popular genre in Bollywood. The likes of Murder and Jism were the trailblazers and films like Julie and Aksar followed suit too. Meanwhile, Payal Rohatgi came up with a flurry of films belonging to this genre as well. In a matter of few years though the genre died down though the only franchise that is still being popular is Hate Story.
While one looks forward to the fourth installment of Hate Story, in a coincidence of sorts there are two erotic films from the past that are now making a comeback, and that too on the same date. These are Aksar 2 and Julie 2.
"Both films are releasing on 6th October", confirms our source, "In fact the promotion has kick-started at the same time as well. While the theatrical trailer of Aksar 2 has just been unveiled, the teaser of Julie 2 was revealed at the very next day."
Incidentally, none of the two films has retained the original actors.
"Aksar featured Emraan Hashmi and Udita Goswami. However Aksar 2 has Zareen Khan as the main attraction. Similarly Julie had featured Neha Dhupia in the lead but the second part has Raai Laxmi as the central protagonist," our source adds.
The directors stay on to be the same though. Ananth Mahadevan directed Aksar and Deepak Shivdasani was the man behind Julie. Both are coming up with the sequels now.
"It would be interesting to see how the music plays for both the films. Though Julie didn't really have any chartbuster songs, Himesh Reshammiya's music for Aksar – especially Jhalak Dikhla Ja – was the highlight. Makers of Aksar 2 and Julie 2 are expected to emphasize on the music," an insider comments.
What would stay on to be the key attraction though is the erotica quotient. After all, Zareen Khan had shown that she can be uninhibited in Hate Story 3. On the other hand Raai Laxmi has been known for her sensual act as well and though she has been seen in Sonakshi Sinha's Akira last year, Julie 2 would be her proper Bollywood debut.
"Clash of the two erotica is interesting since it gives the makers of both the films a good platform to publicize their films. It benefits both since the films would be in news now and benefit from all the talks surrounding the sequel as well as the genre factor," a trade expert opines, "Will audience catch fancy of the genre though on the big screen? Well, that's a question that would be answered on 6th October."

USA 1 vs. 3 Ireland
6.00 push back
Pool B
So, the Spanish journalist sat next to me thinks that this will be a draw and so far he could be right in this game with USA and Ireland. The first few minutes sees the two teams taking turns to attack each other. In the fourth minute, the Irish strike gold. A long pass from Roisin Upton, inside the Irish half finds Deirdre Duke, who rounds the keeper and scores from close range. The Spanish journalist calls it a beautiful pass. Soon after an American attack into the left of the Irish area forcing a sliding save from the Irish keeper, Ayeisha McFerran.
The two teams are really going at each other, with very little organised transitioning from the midfield players of either team. It is almost like two middle weight boxers taking turns in jabbing at each other. This could be the most open game of the day so far.
Ireland's Alison Meeke takes a rough challenge on the right wing, gets up and takes a quick free hit, but runs into traffic. I have a sense that this might be a theme of this a match. Number 15, Gillian Pinder cuts out a pass from the USA backs. Drives forward, weaves into the 'D' to the right of the goal and is obviously fouled. The short corner injection is sent to the second castle. Shirley McCay sweeps past USA keeper Jackie Briggs right, who planks but can't keep out the shot. Goal! Eleven minutes played and the Irish are leading two goals to zero.
The USA attack down the right wing and move into the 'D'. A foul is committed and penalty corner given. 48 seconds remain. The injection is made to the right hand castle, a feinted shot, slip to the right post and tapped in by Margaux Paolino. Ireland 2 – 1 USA and we might have a game now.
Into the second quarter now and the USA lose another ball, with a pass to the centre of midfield, from right back. The Irish attack and with a second phase shot in the 'D', the American number 20, Ali Froede, takes one right in the head. A pattern is emerging with the Americans giving away passes from the back. The Irish are applying a high press and it seems to be working for them.
The best move of the USA game so far starts with captain Melissa Gonzalez as she squarest ball from right centre. The ball is sent to the left wing, then centred and a short corner given for a high ball, as the Irish try to defend it.
The USA hit the post from a second phase play from the corner, the attacker is then wiped out and are given a long. The Americans are retaining the ball for the longest period of their game and are concentrating in the high right corner. And with a minute to go, the Irish are starting to feel a bit of pressure. USA number 9, Tara Vittese, receives the ball from her defence, turns and from central midfield sends a long ball into the attacking top quarter. Unfortunately, nothing comes of this as the halftime hooter goes, but that is a lot better from the Yankees.
Ireland start the second half brightly and get a short corner within 2 minutes. A feint shot and slip to the left, results in a bit of a scramble and a shot that fizzles just wide. The Irish try to keep the USA in the quarter, but the Americans counter, getting into the Irish 'D' themselves.
The US team are carrying on their form the end of the second quarter. Erin Matson, Nicole Woods and Tara Vittese combine well down the left, and things are perhaps looking promising here, with Caitlin van Sickle getting a shot off in 7th minute of the quater. The game is still lively, though, with the Irish given as good as they get.
In the ninth minute Caitlin van Sickle is shown a yellow card. There has been a few cards in this game so far and there's a risk of things turning gritty. A minute into this power play the USA manage to get a short corner. They miss, the Irish counter down the right hand side, centre the ball towards the goal. Deirdre Duke, takes a touch to go past the American defender and slots it into the bottom left corner for her second goal of the game. The Irish fans go wild, as they see their side take a 3-1 lead.
The USA look to get back into the game and with 3 and a half minutes of the quarter left, manage to get a short corner. Spilt by Gonzalez at the top of the 'D', but recovers the ball and plays it forward again. It becomes scrappy and Ireland win a free hit. The American defence still looks shaky and Deirdre Duke finds her self in space again from a sideline ball deep in the corner of the Irish defensive quarter. They then keep the ball in the American end for the remaining few seconds of the third period.
The players begin the final 15 minutes of the match. There seems to be a lot of space in the middle two quarters of the pitch, especially in the wide areas and this is allowing for a lot of attacking play. Duke nearly adds a third to her tally in the fifth minute, as she drives into the area, but hooks the ball just wide of the right hand post. Three minute we see a fierce shot from Caitlin van Sickle forcing a strong left hand paw from the Irish keeper, who's defence generally looking compact now. As the game comes to an end, the Irish start to sit deeper and deeper and the USA start to get desperate and force the ball, resulting in turnovers. The game ends Ireland 3 USA 1.

Obesity Concerns among Young Children and Teenagers
In accordance to the center for disease control and prevention, childhood obesity has tremendously increased in U.S. in recent times. For instance, the rate of children affected between the ages of 6-12 years in U.S increased from 7% to 18% in 2010. Apparently, the number of children within the age of 12-19 and who were obese increased from 6% to 19% in 2012. More than one third of young children and teenagers in U.S were noted to be obese in the same period.
Overweight is explained as having excessive body weight for a particular fat height from fat, muscle, bone, water or an amalgamation of these matters. In essence, obesity is the situation of the body having excess fats. Overweight and obesity are caused by " imbalance of calories" where minimal calories are expended for the consumed amount, and are influenced by the specific behavioral, genetic, or environmental matters. There are both long and short term effects that are posted by childhood obesity among these children. The immediate health impact in this case is the likelihood of the obese to facing risk factors for other equally dangerous conditions such as the cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol or high blood pressure. In a study carried out by the center for disease control in 2012, 70% of obese children around age 5-17 were having at least one element of a cardiovascular condition (CDC, 2013).
There is also a likelihood of obese teenagers of having a pre-diabetes condition, which is a situation whereby the blood glucose level portrays a high risk for diabetes development. Both children and teenagers that are obese have a higher risk of developing such conditions as bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, social and psychological problems, stigmatization and poor self esteem. In addition, there is a likelihood of children and teenagers that are obese to carrying this condition into their adulthood phases. The obesity condition in adulthood is more risky as such adults are more vulnerable for such conditions as stroke, diabetes, various cancer types and osteoarthritis. Studies have pointed out that children who develop obesity at an earlier age are likely to continue this trend into adulthood. Both obesity and overweight are related to the increased risk for different types of cancer such as cancer of the kidney, pancreas, colon, endometrial, gall bladder, ovary, cervix, prostate, as well as other multiple problems such as Hodgkin's lymphoma and myeloma (Kushi et al 2006)
There are various elements which lead to obesity and overweight among young children. Among these factors include: ethnicity, race, dietary habits, and parental knowledge and environmental factors. Studies of such issues will subsequently results into a discussion regarding the intervention mechanisms for curbing or preventing or curbing childhood obesity. There are many studies and literature which points out the many interventions and options that could be carried out in the prevention of the childhood obesity. It is acknowledge that there is no single cause for the rise in obesity incidences in U.S. Moreover, there is also no particular certainty regarding the cause of the health discrepancy in relation to obesity and overweight in specific populations.
Many Scholars have noted the divergent cultural aspects and perceptions with regard to obesity epidemic. Crawford et al. (2004) for instance, realized that, cultural perceptions were a major contributor to childhood obesity. In his study on Latina mothers, he noted that their beliefs and perceptions regarding the weight factors in most case were not in line with those of the health practitioners. The researcher also established that mothers from Latina origin did not at all recognize overweight and obesity and this made them to hold the perception that weight and health are weakly if not at all related. Further, he found out that Latina women preferred thinness over fatness for themselves but fatness or plumber for their children. In their study regarding the perception of Hispanic children, Vargas and Myers (2000) noted that 35% of Hispanic parents did not belief that their children were overweight. Additionally, ethnic minority seemed to low weight and higher attrition in comparison to non -minorities in the studies relating to behavioral weight loss.
The marketing strategies could also influence the variations in the rates of childhood obesity. In comparison to beverage and food marketing to various ethnic and racial populations, Kumanyika and (Griel 2008) established that citizens of African Americans type were more vulnerable to more targeted marketing of lowly nutritious as well as energy dense foods in comparison to Whites population . Following this revelation, the researchers became concerned that the use of various strategies of marketing with divergent ethnic and racial categories was a contributing factor in the health discrepancies that could be found among the obese and overweight children.
Advocacy Programs
Lets Move Program by Michele Obama
In Lets move program by Michele Obama, the current first lady in USA, she decided to utilize her post so as to assist in establishing and supporting programs that have a potential make the a step in the right focus specifically for curbing the epidemic of childhood obesity. Apart from the first lady, this program has also big corporations, pop stars, health care professionals and the countries public and private schools. The lets move program is basically focused on encouraging intake of healthier diet among young children, both in the school and home environment, effective food labeling and enhanced physical activity among these children. In addition, the program attempts to get the whole community to spearhead the intake of health foods and physical activity for fun including such aspects as being active within the family, community and the school. The amalgamation of physical activities and healthy lifestyle is according to the task force on childhood obesity pointed as one of the effective strategies for dealing with the obesity epidemic
Among the steps in let's move program includes daily motion whereby the program advocates not less than 60 minutes of physical activity on a daily basis. This is aimed at making the children feel less stressed, feel better, get better night sleep, and become more attentive in class. Another step is taking fruits and vegetables. This is because these foods are very crucial for health living and these children will have more fun by taking such. They are also encouraged to drink plenty of water; the program discourages parents or other caregivers to stock the house with sodas or chemical juice. Discouraging kids from too much watching of TV is also part of the program goals (Spark, 2013).
The Weight of the Nation
The weight of the nation is a combination of health practitioners, researchers, policy makers and stakeholders who are concerned about curbing or prevention of obesity epidemic. Weight of the nation brings together top experts in the health field with up-to-date strategies that have proved to alter the trends of this problem of obesity. The group tries to make the populace aware on this problem of this epidemic and prepares documentaries films in partnership with such organizations as the center for disease control and prevention, Institute of Medicine and the National Institute of Health (CDC, 2013)
Health Advocacy Campaign
For my Advocacy Program I would choose Michele Obama's Lets Move Program so as to prevent the problem of obesity Pademic in USA. Since young children and teenagers spend much time in school than any other place, the school setting plays a crucial role in the general health of these children. The health of children is an important element to their ability to go to school when they are adequately prepared and have capable of learning. This could therefore be linked to academic performance in the school. There should be devised policies which support health eating and regular physical activity among these children. Such policies may be geared towards encouraging health behavior among these children, supporting health, and social activities for individuals to change their behaviors.
My advocacy choice is concerned with Personal Responsibility. Personal responsibility is one of the perspectives in U.S that is concerned with childhood obesity. This aspect holds that consumption of food is a personal issue and that parents, caregivers as well as teenagers are in a better position to make their own sound choices (Ludwig et al, 2001). This assumption would be helpful in informing policy actions that are focused on enhanced access to health foods, recreational and physical activity.
Since Childhood obesity in US perspective is on the rise, the state ought to consider adopting a competing policy framework. This is because in an environment that is obesogenic, young children develop a particular food preference because of accessibility, marking influence and price. In the environment perspective of childhood obesity, leaders should be mandated to restrict the advertisement of unhealthy and fat foods, controlling school foods and conditions of sale, banning or controlling harmful ingredients for instance transfats, subsiding or removing taxes on health foods such as vegetables and fruits. Policy makers should design measures of controlling the accessibility of foods rich in fats or other unhealthy products
There is mounting evidence which suggests that the built environment setting, that is where people thrive, live; work or play influences the level of physical activity. Recreational programs, parks, bike trails as well as sidewalks constitute the components of the built environment which could facilitate the active living and exercises. Our environment is the major determinant of our health. According to the convergent partnership, the environment and health are two elements which are inextricable. Individuals are health when the environment they live in supports good health. With no health environment, there is a likelihood of people suffering from obesity or other related conditions such as asthma, heart diseases, diabetes and so on. So as to prevent such issues, we need to establish health environments that support health choices. This therefore, necessitates the evaluation with regard to how we grow our food, how we process, distribute and sell and also the physical environment that surrounds us. This may be in terms of how the surroundings are constructed and the infrastructure that serves them (Convergent Partnership, 2010).
My Lobbying Method
Any successive lobbying mechanism is based on a three legged aspect of community, capital and grassroots. Specific technology and policy trends have however, been combined in recent perspectives to exert more weight on this stool. As lobbyist in this matter, my objective is to make the public and the community aware with regard to the causes of obesity and how it could be avoided. Such an informed public will be in a better position of responding to changes meant to curbing obesity and supporting the policies for health living.
My lobbying efforts will be focused on encouraging organizations and other interest groups which I will first establish a relationship with, to donate money so that we buy health foods such as fruits and vegetables to schools. This will assist in creating a culture for these kids in taking such type of foods. I could also design suggestive measures of obesity prevention and present them to the area MPs of course with the community backing who will in turn present such to the congress.
I would also employ various media such as Television, local newspapers and radio to make these people aware on obesity issues.
Ethical Considerations
Among the ethical considerations anticipated from such policy concerns would be the relation of a person's autonomy and the state authority. The libertarian assumption confines the state authority in ensuring personal freedom while the social contract and utilitarian perspective permits an individual's interest to be secondary to the increases in the general welfare. Stuart Mill provided a model that could be very useful in dealing with this ethical concern. This theory which relates to harm principle argues that the intervention of the state is only justifiable when the action of an individual affect another (Mill, 1859).
An example of the ethical dilemma that would accrue from this perspective is when the government tries to protect these children from harm measuring and exposing their body mass index, how will it address the issues relating to policy and stigmatization?. Other issues may relate to the responsibility of the parents and community members in offering their children, a health environment and whether the obesity problem could be regarded as a child protection factor that require social action. The state ought to ensure that their actions do not affect particular communities unreasonably. There is also the problem of addressing the stigma that is usually related with the term obese. Although there are people arguing that marketing doesn't have much influence, studies have revealed that it has a substantial impact. Television and media marketing in general presents the greatest barriers to the campaign on obesity preventions. As much as we are trying to tell the populace in the danger of unhealthy foods, markets on the other side are aggressively continuing with their marketing campaigns to lure people into buying their products.
There is a wealth of information from previous studies with regard to obesity in childhood as well as the factors contributing to that obesity, treatment and prevention opportunities. Nurses ought to be readily equipped with leadership, policy, behavioral change intervention skills such as advocacy, social marketing skills, collaborative leadership and social marketing skills so as to be in a better position of dealing with this pandemic.

Does anyone know if Peabody is open to the public right now?
Yes it is. Went just last Friday.
Thank you BC. Guess I'll go down and do my part in controlling the bluegill population then.
I put a pretty good dent in it Friday
Not gonna say where I was but the bite was good. 3-4 foot deep and the wax worm bite was good. My buddy used crickets and I doubled him up. Caught a 14" black crappie on a wax worm which I thought was odd. Didn't know crappies hit wax worms. Got an 11" redear as well but all the redears were nice size and chunky as all get out. Took the time to make a note of likely bluegill bedding areas. The gills we caught were good sized eaters as well. We had 65 total fish in the basket between us. Good luck.
I understand not giving up your honey hole. No problem. I have many. I've caught Many crappie on wax worms at a small lake called Elmer Davis while bluegill fishing. Glad you guys had a good time.

Return to the Hundred Acre Woods
"Christopher Robin" brings out childlike joy in multiple generations
Winnie the Pooh is one of the most beloved characters in literary history. With its release in 1926, for almost 100 years parents have continued to share the story that was such a large part of their childhood with their children. But when Christopher Robin was debuted, the story was not the standard story of the hundred acre woods that many students had grown up loving.
The movie, set after the first World War and follows Christopher Robin, a struggling businessman and neglectful father. When his job is threatened, an old friend travels into the real world from the hundred acre woods to lend a hand.
When I entered the theater, I was amazed by the number of families, leaving no empty seats, even a month after the debut. With the movie beginning, the excitement could be felt in the air. Although the intro followed the young Christopher Robin we all know and love, tears pooled in my eyes as his final goodbyes were said to his childhood friends before being sent to boarding school. Although this scene was to for expositional purposes, it clearly illustrated the truth of maturing and the joy of childhood that is sacrificed with it.
The movie continues and Christopher forgets of the joy that was felt so clearly in his life. With images of war, falling in love, and adulthood flashing before my eyes, the movie dealt with themes far deeper than I could have possibly imagined.
Although the movie touched on heavy topics such as loneliness, the importance of work in comparison to family, as well the truth behind growing old and leaving childhood joy behind, it still remained light hearted and filled with optimism. The movie was an exciting family adventure that hits close to home for the adult audience and remains fun and exciting for young families.

Boss TU-10 Clip-On Chromatic Tuner
Street Price:
The Boss TU-10 is well regarded by guitarists for the strength and size of its clip which will fit onto even the largest headstocks.
It allows you to select your reference pitch and has a chromatic mode which allows for alternative tunings.
- Tuning Accuracy: ±1 cent
- Tuning Range: C0 (16.35 Hz) to C8 (4,186 Hz)
- Reference Pitch: A4 (436 to 445 Hz)
- Tuning Modes: Cent display, Stream display
- Display: "True color" LCD and monochrome reflection-display function
- Power Supply: CR2032 lithium battery
- Dimensions: 2-7/8" (73 mm) x 1-5/16" (33 mm) x 2-1/2" (62 mm)
- Weight : 2 oz. (45 g)
Many guitarists have praised the clip-on mechanism for being strong and working well on all types of headstocks. Users have reported that it works well on electric, acoustic and nylon string guitars. The display was also regarded as being easy to read on stage in any type of lighting. There were quite a few guitarists who said they've tried many clip-on tuners and like this one the best.
There were a small number of users who reported that said it wouldn't 'settle' on a pitch for them but they didn't indicate exactly what type of instrument this happened on - it doesn't .seem to be a general problem for guitar.
Boss has a strong reputation, earned over decades, for producing robust tuners that stand the test of time which is why they're able to command higher prices than many of their competitors.
We were recommending the Boss TU-10 until April 2018 however due to a reduction in the size of our recommended list it didn't quite have high enough ratings to remain on the list which you can see at The Best Clip On Tuners.

Did my thing. Left early, before they opened.
There was a LONG line but it moved really well.

It was funny, when I left the house, 8 miles from the voting station, every vehicle I got behind in traffic was going to the same place.
Got in line at 6:00AM
Voted and got out at 7:30.
Now the plan is to try and stay awake at work.
I got there
just as the polls opened and had to wait around 35 minutes. Mostly painless.
No more robocalls!
I got rid of my land line a year ago
so robocalls has not been an issue this year.
I am going to be pissed years from now when all there are is cell phones, and they open them up like the land lines are for phone books and cold calls. X-(
Only had to wait 45 minutes in line
I performed my civic duty.
Don''t know if this is common knowledge but I got an email from Starbucks that they are giving away a free 12oz cup of coffee to everyone that voted. You just gotta stop in and tell 'em you did. I was gonna but the line at the Starbucks was as long as the line at my polling place and I was already late for work
There is a change on the Starbucks offer
It is illegal to give any compensation to someone for voting, so they changed it to ANYONE that asks for it will get the free coffee. And around here, they were talking a free LARGE coffee. unfortunately, I think starbucks tastes like stewed sh1t.
I was unaware
Makes sense though. It was a nice gesture by them I thought.
I like Starbucks. To me there is no such thing as coffee that is to strong. I like like my coffee hot, black as a bat cave and strong enough to get up and walk off on its own
I love strong black coffee, but starbucks tastes like it is scorched/burnt.
"I like my coffee the way I like my women, full of booze" - auggie smith.
Where I live
Your employer must compensate you the same as always even if you are late for work because you stopped to vote. If you stopped at Starbucks for a coffee on your way to work, I would bet it would count too- unless your boss was in line behind you! But that could be manageable too. You both just agree to not rat each other out.

This is a chronicle of our time in Turkey.

Hoar Frost
The most beautiful thing happened over Christmas break. A massive fog rolled in and the temperature dropped. We had no snow, but the fog formed frost on all the vegetation in our city. It lasted for 5 days, as the temperature never got above freezing.
This last one was taken right outside my porch (in our new house) before we moved in. It speaks of life out of the dead to me.

Hillary Clinton Plea Bargain Discussions Between DOJ Officials And Her Lawyers
Author Ed Klein, has some potentially disheartening news if it's true. He's quite familiar with the Clintons and has excellent sources, having written multiple books about them. He's been told a plea deal is in the works with the Sessions DOJ to let her completely off on multiple offenses.
Most of us would ask why the worst criminal in the history of American politics would be offered such a deal when her crimes are so egregious and we've already gathered a mountain of evidence against her, obtained by expending great amounts of man hours and a huge expense to the American taxpayers. That question isn't answered.
According to Klein, the DOJ has reopened the investigation into Hillary Clinton's mishandling of classified material on her bootleg bathroom email server while serving (herself) as Secretary of State. One Clinton lawyer told Klein the discussion of a plea bargain occurred in July, with the offer made by an unnamed high-ranking DOJ official to the Clinton Lawyer.
During exploratory discussions with the prosecutor, the Clinton attorney was advised that the Justice Department has reexamined the email case and believes there is a wealth of prosecutable offenses which could be acted upon. James Comey's erroneous decision has no bearing on the case from a prosecution standpoint.
Under the proposed agreement, Clinton would have to plead guilty to breaking the law, and sign a document to that effect. In return, the Justice Department would agree not to charge her in connection with the email investigation. It's sort of like a Comey solution, with a confession to add a smidgen of false legitimacy.
That's it, she just has to admit what everybody already knows, that she's a spy and a crook. Once she does that she's off the hook, at least as far as the email goes. Deals don't get any sweeter than that. Her pay to play deals with foreign governments and businessmen would be off limits for prosecution as well, including the payments of bribes to the Clinton Foundation and Bill Clinton's ridiculously high speaking fees. [VIDEO BELOW]
Newsmax reports that "the Clinton attorney cautioned that normally a plea is offered by a prosecutor only upon arraignment, and Hillary has not yet been charged with any crime."
While if this report is true it would be enough to cause rioting among Trump supporters and all patriotic Americans who want to know what she did to us and have her held accountable, there are additional reports that came out later on Tuesday that Clinton's stubborn pride won't allow her to admit to her wrong doing and that she's not likely to take such an offer if it is made.
The DOJ better count their blessings if that is the case and do their damn jobs, take the criminal witch to court, don't use this as a bargaining chip to stop the Russia, Russia, Russia by the criminal Democrats. Expose Clinton and the criminal web and prosecute their crimes, let justice run its course.
In an interview on "America Talks Live," Klein uttered one of the understatements of all time, saying, "Sometimes she has trouble admitting that she's Hillary Clinton, you're absolutely right. This is a woman who never, ever admits that she did anything wrong.
He added, "We've all seen how she has blamed everybody but herself for her loss in 2016 at the presidential election. So you're right, I totally agree with you that the chances of her accepting such an offer are practically zero."
He said, "They are seriously thinking of reopening this investigation and therefore if she doesn't take the plea agreement, which I agree with you, she almost certainly won't, I think they will then proceed with this investigation and this is going to drag on for a long time and in a way balance the investigation that's going on with President Donald Trump and his campaign advisers regarding so-called collusion with the Russians."
In a separate interview on another program on Newsmax, Klein told Rita Cosby that Clinton is a "battler" and would push back against a plea bargain offer. During the Monica Lewinsky scandal, it was Hillary who said no, we're not going to give an inch. She's not going to give an inch."
That's a trait that may serve her well in prison.

One fun thing about social media is that you truly just never know what interesting new thing you're going to learn as you scope out your Twitter feed or check new Facebook posts. Here's a little bit of game trivia that I picked up via Twitter this morning: the celebrated American writer Mark Twain once created a board game. The inspiration was a "game" of sorts that he'd created to help his young daughters learn the names and reigns of British monarchs for school. He'd created a path around the back yard with stakes in the ground representing different monarchs and years they took power, the space between the stakes helping represent the length of their reign. It apparently worked so well for the two young students that he translated it into a board game format but alas, one that was so complex and convoluted that someone compared it to an income tax form. So "Memory Builder" was not to be a pinnacle of Mr. Twain's illustrious career. At least it got his daughters to do well with their British monarchs.
This brings to mind information I read a few years back about how much playing games and doing crossword puzzles and otherwise tapping our brain power regularly can be such a boon to maintaining mental acuity later in life. In fact, on a cruise my husband and I just took, during which there were a couple trivia-game sessions every day, I overheard an older women next to me joking with her friends that she was playing along just to keep her brain sharp. More recent medical evidence isn't necessarily so sold on the connection between playing games and doing puzzles, and staving off reduction in brain function with age, and diseases such as Alzheimers. I'm still going to keep playing games as often as possible, and when I'm beating the pants off my pals at age 93, you bet I'll be giving a nod to years of game-playing for keeping my brain in gear.
This link about the Twain story is from Mental Floss which, interestingly, isn't just a magazine (and partner blog) full of fun facts and stories, but also is the namesake for one of the fun trivia games we have in our game closet: Mental Floss Trivia Game. The magazine's an interesting and random trove of stories to please the most ardent knowledge hound and trivia buff. They get to the bottom of important aspects of modern life, like the origins of "cat's pajamas" (love it!) in the current issue. The game riffs on the diverse pool of interesting information shared in print, claiming that "it's funny, it's quirky, and you'll walk away a genius!" — at least one of you will, the winner usually feeling more "genius" than the rest. But we've had fun playing this game that tests all types of knowledge. Depending on this spot you land on, you'll get a "Right Brain" question, a "Left Brain" question, or you'll have to "Spot the Big Fat Lie" between two, often equally outlandish, proposed facts. The "Enlightening Round" spots on the board pull out a different card with a series of questions on a given subject, going from easy to most difficult.
With all the trivia games out there, it can seem like a board game category that's saturated and past its prime. But we still love playing these games now and then, Mental Floss one we turn to regularly. It's an easy-to-enjoy format that doesn't take hours to complete, a fun way to test your mettle against the smartest of your family and friends.

Regulate Alcohol Consumption – UN Coordinator
THERE is a critical need for African countries to enact legislation aimed at regulating the production, sale and consumption of alcohol in order to arraign the scourge of gender-based violence.
This was said byUnited Nations resident coordinator Musinga Bandora said on Tuesday during the opening of a three-day meeting titled 'Integrating GBV and HIV prevention, treatment and care into national alcohol policies' in Windhoek.
The meeting is discussing the intersection of alcohol abuse, GBV and increased vulnerability from HIV, as well as other health problems.
"While alcohol consumption can have some limited medical benefits, its excessive use does negatively impact the social and economic fabric of society. It is responsible for many health and social hazards, and undermines productivity and constrains national development efforts," he stated.
Bandora noted that alcohol remains a recurring factor in the sexual risk-taking behaviour of individuals, and in the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and adherence to treatment regimes.
The harmful uses of alcohol, HIV transmission and GBV intersect where alcohol fuels sexual violence, and where intoxicated people are vulnerable to sexual abuse and rape, resulting in increasing risks of acquiring HIV.
Data collected on alcohol related behaviour, consumption and its impacts and HIV prevalence from 23 countries in Eastern and Southern Africa also showed a close correlation between high alcohol consumption and high HIV prevalence.
"What these findings tell us is that this is a serious problem, and that it requires urgent attention. Indeed, while all countries do have policies and are covering the harmful use of alcohol, GBV and HIV, the relationship between the three is rarely addressed.
Invariably, these are treated as distinct and separate problems," Bandora noted.
The meeting has brought together health professionals and gender activists from several African countries like Botswana, Tanzania, Lesotho, South Africa and Zambia.

Cono Sur Bicicleta Pinot Grigio 2014 is the fourth wine in our April Wines Under $10, which is turning out to be more of a challenge than our attempt at this three years ago.
Cono Sur Vineyards & Winery was founded in 1993, and is located in the southern most point of Chile, hence the companies name. The Spanish phrase 'cono sur' translates to the 'Southern Cone', a name often used to represent the southern lands of South America.
On colour, the Cono Sur Bicicleta Pinot Grigio 2014 holds a pale golden hue. On the nose, scents of mango, peach and pear are noted. On the palate, you'll taste lemon, pear and some mineral, wrapped up with bright acidity.
Cono Sur holds firm in that their main goal is to produce quality, expressive wines in new world styles, and their Cono Sur Bicicleta Pinot Grigio 2014 is a good showing of that.
This wine retails at the LCBO for $9.90
We gave this wine a score of 3 out of 5

|Thanks to Al Bruno III for this pic of Karen Gillan and her stunt doubles on the set of the new Jumanji film
We all remember (fondly) the Doctor Who mini-sodes where Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) flirts with herself, thanks to timey-wimey shenanigans, but the picture above takes things up a notch... by introducing a THIRD Amy Pond (and why not?)
Have your characters ever met themselves (clones, alternate dimensional versions, future selves etc)?
In a short-lived Villains & Vigilantes campaign I ran for the Tuesday Knights a few years ago, the heroes met a version of Pete's emotion controlling character (The Surgeon), from a different dimension... but he had a much better handle on how to use 'their' powers and bested Pete easily, much to The Surgeon's chagrin.
And as a special bonus, here's a shot of that time the Scooby Gang's Velma ran into herself...

Soft radiation consists of coherent low energy gluons that interact with initial and final state jets at wide angles from the jet axis, and we show that this soft radiation in ee, ep and pp collisions is universal to order $\alpha_s^2$ in perturbation theory. We factor this soft radiation out of the multi-scale cross-section using Soft Collinear Effective Theory, which is an effective field theory of QCD for processes with high energy, light-like degrees of freedom interacting via soft degrees. The universality of soft radiation suggests that low energy QCD radiation is independent of the process and can be decoupled from the high-energy, short-distance jet structure.

Currently I feel out of control.
I am working insane hours and am still not getting to everything. The number of tasks actually keeps growing and I get a knot in my stomach just looking at my to-do list.
I would love to know what the healthy balance is for an IT Manager to manage daily tasks and longer-term projects without being overwhelmed by info, requests and duties?
One of our IT Leader Mastermind groups recently tackled this question. Here is a summarised version of the outcomes.
The speed of life is increasing. For all of us. Lots of little things have to be attended to continuously. As IT Managers it is in our nature to help people as quickly as possible.
And you do need to get to your managerial duties as well.
You will, however, have to take a step back and have a serious look at your to-do list.
Step one is to organise it to be able to focus on the important issues.
What is it really that you are supposed to do? Most likely there are quite a few tasks that you should be able to delegate or not do at all.
Use your ticketing system or even a mobile phone app to track what you are doing all day and where you actually spend your time. Then review and prune the things that you should not be doing.
Secondly and related to the above - focus on one thing at a time. The human brain is not made for multitasking and we lose lots of time and energy by switching between tasks.
And thirdly, use weekly goals. Plan your days into bigger chunks of work. Try and make sure you get the bigger things done first instead of just having an arbitrary to-do-list.
Do also see the "Other Links" section below or just use Google for any number of programs and methodologies that can help you to focus on what is important.
We are all different – it is imperative that you find a system that works for you!

As college students work their way through school, they inch closer to the coveted graduation date and full time job. Along the way there can be constant pressure about getting an internship or not, and the question of whether it is really worth it? These are very good questions that each student thinks about, especially as they transition to upper-class men status.
Here is the list of reason's stating Why Are Internships In College So Important?
1. Experience:
Students that have internships acquire more well rounded experiences and also get to see first-hand how companies work. This provides a valuable understanding of the business and industry in which you want to work in once you graduate.
2. Company Expectations:
Most companies expect college graduates to have some level of experience, even with entry-level positions. An internship provides the all-important "experience" all students' need. The more internship experience you have, the more credible your background will look on your resume.
3. Resume Builder:
Make sure to find internships that are relevant to your major and add them to your resume. This provides a great foundation in your desired industry and will propel you above other college graduates with no internship experience.
4. Glimpse Into A Full-Time Job:
As a college student, you may know what type of work you want to do when you graduate, but you may not know what the day-to-day looks like. An internship provides a glimpse into what the work is like and if you will like it or not. internship may help you change directions if needed.
5. Gain Confidence:
You may not have the experience yet, or even the confidence to do the job you think you want, however, most internships train college students on-the-job and provide a fantastic learning experience for them to build their confidence. This confidence shows, especially if you are in the middle of a phone or in-person interview.
6. Build Your Network:
Building your professional network is just as important as building your experience. Internships allow students to connect with professionals that are involved in similar work. These connections can be very important for you when looking for a job.
7. Reference Letter:
As you build your network with the people you are working alongside in your internship, you may be able to ask them to be a professional reference. This is critical because companies ask for references in the hiring process.
8. Get Hired:
An internship is ultimately designed to get the student a job offer. This can be a multi-year process from the time you enter college all the way through your senior year. If you perform well in your internships as a student, the company may end up offering you a full time job when you graduate.

LOS ANGELES (AP) � Officers are being briefed during roll calls, new procedures are in place, and prosecutors are considering the effect on potentially thousands of pending court cases after the U.S. Supreme Court�s ruling that restricts police searches of cellphones.
From Los Angeles to New York, and in San Diego, Chicago and Houston, officials met to discuss yesterday�s unanimous ruling that could make it harder for officers to quickly find incriminating evidence. The ruling prohibits law enforcement from searching an arrestee�s cellphone without a warrant unless a person�s safety or life might be in danger.
Because cellphone technology has so rapidly advanced over the last decade, more information than ever before � including personal documents, photos and emails � is now stored on these devices. For investigators, they can be a treasure trove of suspects� pictures with fellow gang members, not to mention text messages and call records that help police find accomplices or victims.
Few, if any, in law enforcement circles were surprised by the high court�s ruling, and they said many cautious investigators already were getting warrants to ensure evidence doesn�t get tossed out of trials. But they also universally acknowledged it would make their jobs more difficult, especially for the rank-and-file patrol officer.
�It�s going to be more cumbersome; it�s going to take more work; it�s going to take more time,� said Los Angeles County sheriff�s Lt. Kent Wegener of the Major Crimes Bureau. Wegener said his investigators routinely seek search warrants for their cases.
In Houston, prosecutors already were treating cellphones as personal property with privacy rights and advising police officers that if they weren�t given permission, they would need a search warrant to access the devices, said Bill Exley, a prosecutor in the Harris County District Attorney�s Office.
The Constitution�s Fourth Amendment requires police generally to have a judge sign a warrant that�s based on �probable cause,� or evidence a crime has been committed. Cellphones have been treated like any other item in an arrestee�s possession, meaning they could be examined to ensure the officer�s safety and prevent the destruction of evidence.
The Supreme Court�s decision examined two cases that arose after arrests in San Diego and Boston. In San Diego, police found indications of gang membership when they looked through a defendant�s smartphone, and prosecutors used video and photographs from the phone to persuade a jury to convict him of attempted murder and other charges. In Boston, police used the call log on an arrested man�s flip phone to lead them to his home, where they found drugs, a gun and ammunition.
Thousands of pending court cases could be altered or dropped because of what would be considered illegally obtained evidence as a result of the decision, said Oregon defense attorney Bronson James, who authored an amicus brief for the plaintiffs. Whether that will happen is unclear, and prosecutors are working to limit the case�s retroactive impact.
The ruling also might ultimately challenge law enforcement�s use of other technology, James said, such as the U.S. government�s bulk data collection or the �Stingray,� a device that sweeps up cellphone data in a given area.
It can take anywhere from a few hours for a judge to sign off on a state search warrant to a few days for a federal one.
Though the ruling provides leeway for situations where a person�s safety or life is in danger, authorities have concerns about whether information or opportunities might be missed. The San Diego County District Attorney�s Office has had conversations with law enforcement on how to expedite search warrant requests when only a couple judges might be on call at night or over the weekend.
San Diego County�s chief deputy district attorney, Summer Stephan, said human traffickers often run their businesses from their cellphones, arranging prices and schedules for girls and customers by text message.
Though the ruling allows for emergency situations, �sometimes you don�t know if you have that until you look,� Stephan said.

A casino is a facility where people carry out gambling legally. An activity where one places an amount of money or an expensive item with a hope of winning more money and items is known as a gambling activity. Casinos are established in close proximity to restaurants, hotels, cruise ships and sites which attract tourist. While in the casinos, you can also enjoy live entertainment. Of late, the gambling industry has been greatly improved by the internet. The internet has also facilitated the playing of casino games. In order to play the online casino games, you just create an account, make a deposit and you will be able to play and win more money. The following are the online casino games where you can win easily.
The first online casino game with good odds is the Blackjack. This is an easy game to play and win. Since the house edge is only about 1%, it is easier to become a winner. Instead of playing the game against the professionals, please play against the dealer. This game can also be played by amateurs.
Roulette is another online game with good odds. You can make huge winnings by spinning the Roulette wheel. In order to have a 50/50 chance of winning, please stick to either Reds or Blacks. You can even play one number to get better payoff but the probability of winning is much lower.
The third game with good odds on the online casino is the Craps. This game involves the rolling of a dice and the odds are about 50/50. This game is challenging, therefore, a lot of experience is needed.
Another game with good odds on the online casino is the Poker. In the Poker, the online casino deducts no amount of money, therefore, the whole you staked is the amount that will be won. Experience is needed in this game. Gamblers who have skills of playing this game prefer it to other card games on the casino.
The Slots is another online casino game with good odds. It is far much better to play this game on online casinos than on the old casinos. In order to win, please have a look at the pay table.
The Baccarat is another online casino game with good odds. Although this game requires experience, it is easier to win when you bet on the players' hands.
The Casino war is another game with good odds on the online casinos.
Keno is another game with good odds on the online casinos. One becomes a winner by matching numbers although the house will have a bigger advantage than a player because of the many ways of betting.

On PC screen, item.size makes a zigzag down the center of the screen. A possible fix is to remove </span><span> from in-
replace li span {margin-left:auto}
with li a+span {margin:0px 10px 0px auto}
perhaps this line is not needed:it's for upload progress
#upload {width:74px; background: no-repeat -74px linear-gradient(#cde,#cde), #f0f0f0; transition:none}
N/A is displayed as file size for virtual folder. Need blank instead of N/A. (I didn't figure out how to do that)will be fixed in next version
the #FFF0D4 gradient background is nice
you have two more themes, if you set OS color to light
what is margins="0" in the body tag?

Okay, okay, okay… even I know that this TOTD is pretty messed up. Sometimes, I just can't help my mind. I'm going to do my best to turn some good out of it by promoting some very fine people. Again, I KNOW that it doesn't make up for my demented mind… but, hey, at least I'm trying! And, let's be honest… if it spurns one person to help out any of these people, or places, then it was well worth it, I'd say.
TOTD – It's Not the Sudden Stop at the End That Hurts, It's The Other Stuff!
by Senator Brett
Some time ago I helped out at this ministry that catered to people with all sorts of social issues. They provided ministry, housing and food to man and women who suffered through drug, alcohol, homeless and domestic violence issues… as well as acting as a half-way house for ex-cons who seemed really determined to make a better go of their lives.
I "worked" by doing the photography and video filming & editing. Rough job, I know. I'm such a hard worker for the underprivileged! Where's my plaque?! Anyway, my desk was right next to the receptionist's desk. Her job was to perform the usual receptionist duties, but she also was responsible for pre-screening any potential clients. She had a long list of questions that she asked whenever someone called in looking for some help.
And here's where my crazy mind makes me evil… like the Devil.
Whenever a female would call in one of the first questions she had to ask was, "Are you a victim of domestic violence?"… and for some reason… I would think of all the ex-cons and crazy people there and think… "No? You're not a victim of domestic violence? Do you wanna be?!"
I KNOW! Horrible! Plain evil! But, I couldn't help it. It happened every time. Once, there was a group of the women standing around the receptionists desk when she was screening someone over the phone and I had to leave the area before she got to the question because all I could see in my head was this group of women surrounding this poor woman calling.
I hope I enjoy Hell! I'm okay with getting what I deserve!
Have a great , people! Also, please remember… The Golden Rule is not a suggestion!
Your Friendly Senator
Okay, now that the bad part is out of the way… let's get to the good part. If you are in need of help, if you know someone who is suffering from domestic violence… or if you want to help those that are helping the less fortunate, if you want to donate time or money… any of the above… please, contact these people listed below. What you do unto others is what defines you as a human being… well, that and opposable thumbs. 🙂
Also, if you know of shelters or ministries in your area that you want to promote, please, feel free to comment and leave their info so that other people can see it. Thank you. One last thing… video at the end… great song, great voice… seemed very fitting. Enjoy.
