The light, stable and incredibly versatile Ventura Bike-Pack luggage system is now available for the Moto Guzzi V85 TT 2019 models.
Match your luggage to suit your riding: Cruise, commute or tour, Ventura has you covered.
The key to the Ventura system is the L-Bracket, which is made to measure to fit each model of bike and custom designed to complement the unique styling of each motorcycle.
Once fitted with L-Brackets, the Moto Guzzi V85 TT will accommodate a range of luggage options via the EVO Pack and Rack, Astro Top-Box, Sport-Rack, Pack-Rack or Grab-Handle. The Ventura system allows up to 102 litres of luggage carrying capacity with two Aero-Spadas zipped together all the way down to the 10 litre Sport-Pack.
Ventura's unique rack system ensures that the load won't shift, even during hard riding while the positioning offers excellent stability and as it is directly behind the rider gives much greater manoeuvrability in traffic – and less wind resistance on the open road compared to traditional pannier systems.

Pardon Our Pride . . .
At Hampton High School, real-world learning is brought into the classroom on a daily basis. The school's application of the Rigor, Relevance and Relationship Framework has caught the attention of other schools nationwide, which have sought to replicate the success experienced at Hampton. Some examples of how our students have excelled over the last year can be found here.
Dear Hampton Families,
I wanted to take this opportunity to inform you that Governor Wolf has extended his order to close all K-12 Pennsylvania schools "until further notice" amid concerns regarding the continued spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). Hampton schools had planned to remain closed until April 14, 2020.
The District's closure will now extend at least until the statewide closure expires. Also, as the stay-at-home order was extended for Allegheny County, all HTSD facilities, including district buildings and athletic fields are closed until further notice.
We will continue to utilize our Remote Learning Days during the closure. As you may recall, every Wednesday will be a Talbot Paws day. On a Paws day, students could be engaging in make-up assignments or receiving teacher guidance on assignment completion. However, no new instruction or new assignments will occur on these days. We believe this mid-week pause will be beneficial to students and teachers as we proceed with this extended closure.
Please note that the District will hold its Spring Break, in accordance with the approved 2019-2020 School Calendar, which calls for vacation days on Thursday April 9, Friday, April 10 and Monday, April 13. There will be no remote learning instruction or assignments for students on these dates.
We will continue to monitor all available sources of information related to this school closure and the stay-at-home order and update you immediately if more information becomes available.
Please stay healthy, safe and strong.

Jay Heaps, who has been involved with the New England Revolution organization since 2001, will have to find work elsewhere. He gained employment from the club back in his playing days and remained with them for about eight years. Following that stint, he took over the club as manager in 2011 and has since seen highs and lows.
The Revs currently hold a record of 10-14-5, which is good for eighth place in the Eastern Conference. This means they're in danger of missing out on the playoffs for the second straight season. In his five, almost six seasons as manager of the New England club, Heaps holds a 75-81-43 record and made a trip to the MLS Cup final just a few seasons ago in 2014.
The Revs have plenty of big names at the club, but still can't seem to connect the dots, and New England felt the reason may be the manager. In the past week, the Revs have traveled to Sporting Kansas City and Atlanta United FC and have a combined losing score of 10-1, including a 7-0 loss in Atlanta's new Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
No news of whether or not assistant coach Tom Soehn will take over or if New England will look elsewhere for their new manager. Regardless of who takes over, they'll be faced with a huge task in hosting MLS' best Toronto FC on Saturday at Gillette Stadium. The Revs may have waited too late as the new manager will have just five matches to try and get the club in a playoff position as they currently sit seven points behind the sixth-place New York Red Bulls.

Some while ago, we published a post on illustrated idioms. Some of you have guessed a few of the idioms, but not all of them, so I decided to give you a hand. Here are the answers, together with the saying in the original language, its literal translation (just to show once again that it does not always work) and the English equivalent.
Thank you Cath and Gwen for guessing most of them and for contributing with equivalents in other languages.

Thanks to the all the injuries that inflicted the team's secondary, LeBlanc was ultimately needed to man a heavy snap count down the stretch and into Philadelphia's postseason run.Numbers to know.Then there is Tom Brady, who is divisive at best.
That's something that we want to monitor.His was a performance that fans in Ottawa won't soon forget.I http://www.chargersofficialfootballshop.com/Nike-Denzel-Perryman-Jersey.html may have been leery of calling Lehner a playoff-caliber goaltender before I sat down to some research, but the numbers don't lie: Lehner was giving the Sabres playoff-quality goaltending all season long.The timing of the injury gives Garoppolo a good chance to be ready for Week 1, though it likely will take additional time before he's the best version of himself.
If you're even a semi-regular listener to the Fantasy Focus Football Podcast, aka the 06010, you are likely aware that Matthew Berry and Field Yates occasionally will disagree on a player's fantasy output, whether it's for the season or a week during the NFL season.When Irving is committed, he can make his matchup work, but too often, he sticks to screens like he has velcro skin and is easily discouraged from trying to stay Authentic Golden Tate III Jersey in front of quicker guards.With Barnett out of the mix, Chris Long, Michael Bennett and Josh Sweat will likely handle increased reps in the Eagles' defensive-end rotation.He's a coach that knows his team, Rams left Andrew Whitworth said after Sunday's 26 overtime win.Loeffler will be introduced at a news conference Thursday.
It helped when general manager Rod Thorn pulled off a heist the 2001 draft, sending Eddie Griffin to the Rockets for three first-round picks, of whom – Jason Collins and Richard Jefferson – immediately became rotation contributors.2018 record: 12 First 2019 Way-Too-Early rank: 5 Returning starters: seven offense, six defense, zero https://www.giantsfootballsofficialonline.com/YOUTH+GOLDEN+TATE+III+JERSEY special teams Outlook: The Irish brought in the nation's No.But when you throw out a statement like that, you better have it right.I fully believe the Bucs' offense will go right back Denzel Perryman Authentic Jersey to scoring in the high 20s, starting this weekend.Only three made the playoffs.
The balanced offense: We just want to keep it going.The New York Rangers' search for a head coach seems to be coming to an end.To search for players who were born on a certain date, for example all players born on December 25, choose the month, day and with the drop down boxes and then choose the 'Full Date Search' option.The injury apparently wasn't severe enough to require surgery or treatment of any kind, though, so Mariota only had to rest and lay low in order to recover.
30…Recorded seven- and eight yard TD receptions, marking first career multiple-TD game at Chicago, Dec.It says a lot about the team that we have this year.

Chicken Ramen Soup
The key to creating good ramen is the broth—it has to be great. No matter what type you are making, the broth has to be the star. I kept this in mind with my own recipe and started with umami rich ingredients including kombu, smoky MINOR'S® Ham Base NAMSG and dried shitake. These flavors added a lot of depth and body of the broth for a truly delicious take on this Japanese classic.

- "Matilda is vicious to say the least!"
- — Jonathan Pearce's in-game commentary
Matilda was one of the four original house robots in Robot Wars. She was based on an mutant alien boar, she was equipped with pneumatic flipping tusks at the front and interchangeable chainsaw and flywheel weapons at the rear. Matilda appears in Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction (PC/Xbox) in addition to the other four Robot Wars video games.
In this game, it is possible to play as Matilda and the other house robots by entering a cheat code.
Appearance and ArmamentEdit
Matilda and the other four early House Robots made their fifth and final video game appearance during this game. The game was the only game based on Robot Wars Extreme: Series 1. Matilda's appearance remains almost unchanged from the previous Robot Wars console game release, Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction. She again sports the flipping tusks, but features her rear flywheel weapon, that featured on her from Series 5/Extreme 1 onwards, rather than the chainsaw. Although the flywheel weapon was well known for being incredibly destructive, it causes very little damage in the game. The House Robots in this game could break the rules for the first time, perhaps to show off the fact that Refbot was in a game for the first time. They would often come out of their CPZs and attack competitor robots, which would lead to them receiving a yellow card, and eventually a red card after breaking the rules for a second time.
Functions within gameEdit
Matilda would act as one of 4 house robots, on particular arenas, for most of the events and battle types.
Matilda was originally seen as the easiest house robot to flip by contestants in real life, however in the game, although it is manageable, Matilda is very difficult to flip over, even when the player can get in underneath her. She also can't be left on her side, which in real life was the only and easiest option when trying to flip her.

Missouri's wine and craft beer industries are thriving, drawing tourists who are ready to sip and sample the many varieties the state has to offer.
Generating $1.76 billion annually, Missouri's more than 130 wineries attract nearly a million people each year. The state also has 10 wine trails, such as the Ozark Mountain Trail and the Kansas City Wine Trail, each situated in different regions of the state and offering unique varieties and flavors.
One of Missouri's most popular and recognizable wineries is St. James Winery in St. James, which was established in 1970 by Jim and Pat Hofherr and is now operated by their son, Dr. Peter Hofherr. Producing about 250,000 cases of wine each year, the winery is the largest and most awarded wine producer in the state. It's also the fifth-largest winery east of the Rocky Mountains.
Within just a few miles of St. James Winery are its five vineyards that cover a total of 185 acres and provide approximately 60 percent of the winery's grapes, with the other 40 percent supplied from vineyards across the Midwest. Offering complimentary tastings and tours, the winery welcomes more than 80,000 visitors annually. Its property also includes Public House Brewing Co.'s production brewery and tasting room, and the two businesses share a wine and beer garden.
"The Hofherr family was and continues to be pioneers in the industry with their commitment to Missouri wines and continual innovation in the vineyard and cellar," says Jim Anderson, executive director of the Missouri Wine and Grape Board. "Jim Hofherr paved the way for many other wineries in the state, and his son, Dr. Peter Hofherr, has grown the business into one of the largest wineries in the nation."
Craft beer lovers also find plenty to enjoy in Missouri, with the state's breweries generating more than $921 million annually.
St. Louis has grown into a craft beer hot spot, home to destinations like Urban Chestnut Brewing Co., 4 Hands Brewing Co., Perennial Artisan Ales and Square One Brewery & Distillery that are drawing national attention. In addition, the city hosts the St. Louis Craft Beer Week to celebrate and promote the industry.
Located in Kansas City, Boulevard Brewing Co. is one of the largest specialty brewers in the Midwest and Missouri's largest craft brewery. Boulevard even scored a spot on the USA Today list of the top 15 craft breweries in the country, thanks in part to its Smokestack Series that includes six year-round releases, as well as limited releases and seasonal brands.

Chingjing Gaoshan You Ji Wulong Cha (Organic Chingjing High Mountain Oolong Tea)
Yen Ching-Yu (Katie)
Grown at an elevation of 1800 meters on Chinjing Mountain in central Taiwan (Nantou County) this tea from Katie Yen is farmed without the use of pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers of any kind. It is USDA certified organic. The dry leaf is loosely rolled semi ball shape and has a nice spice aroma; the infused leaf reveals wonderful leaf sets of a dark jade color. The leaf sets are on the small side and have very short internodes (due to abstaining from fertilizer.) The tea liquor is a clear dark green gold color. In the mouth the tea viscous, full bodied and round. The tea has good grip at the back of the mouth. There is a distinct buttery quality to the flavor followed by a long and satisfying finish where the spiciness reveals itself again. This is an exceptionally fine example of Taiwan Gaoshan tea.
Grower: Yen Ching-Yu
Cultivar: Qing Xin Oolong
Region: Chingjing Mountain Nantou County
Altitude: 1800m
Harvest: May. 2018
Oxidation: 35%
Lightly baked
Brewing Suggestions:
To prepare this tea in the traditional gongfu style use a gaiwan or Yixing pot and 6 grams of tea per 100ml of water at 212°F. Steep for 20 seconds. Reduce time to 15 seconds for the second steep and then increase with each subsequent steep.
For an 8 oz. cup, use between 3-5 grams of tea, about a heaping teaspoon. Pour water at 212°F (100° C) over the leaves and steep for approximately 90 seconds. Always remember to adjust steeping time depending on water temperature, amount of tea you have and personal flavor preference. Increase time and temperature slightly with each infusion.

Remember when I first said I caved just to follow @BravoAndy? I think I came up with a lame twitter name (or whatever it's called when you name yourself on twitter.) I told myself I would just follow people and then read their tweets. Well, after I joined, I forgot about it for awhile and then never checked twitter. Recently, however, I got the idea to change my 'name' to something catchy and now my tweet name is iamdawndi. Perfect for me, right? Well, I AM Dawndi. ha. And then all of a sudden...I got sucked in! I can't help it. It just happened. My friend Melisa sent out her 'posse' (as I call it) to follow me, so I followed them back. I guess that's the proper twitter etiquette? I don't know. That's what I heard, though.
So yesterday, I sent out the tweet, "It's Friday, it's sunny and I'm not afraid #fridaythe13th." or something like that. Then I tweeted, "I just used my first hashmark!" I was so proud of myself. Then, I got crushed (not really) when I got a tweet back by Melisa saying that it's really called a hashTAG. ugh. That's ok, though, because I made up a new word, just like her mom who calls tweeting, 'twixxing.' hehe

The hidden issue of school refusal
Ah, the school run. No matter how early the alarm is set or how much we prepare the night before, it usually culminates in a mad dash out the front door.
For some parents, however, encouraging children out of bed and into school uniform serves as an impossible task. A rising number of children and parents are dealing with what is now known as school refusal, otherwise known as 'school phobia'.
While many children may dislike classes, teachers or early mornings, most still (begrudgingly) make it through the school gates and into class. For children struggling with school phobia, however, getting stuck into the school day simply isn't that easy.
What is school refusal?
Psychologists recognise school refusal as a disorder in which a child refuses to attend school in order to avoid the physical and mental symptoms of extreme anxiety. The cause of anxiety could be anything, both in or outside of school; stress around schoolwork, bullying, relationships with friends or teachers, moving house or a family separation, for example.
For many children, sharing feelings around school refusal can be difficult. Talking to a parent or teacher about their fears can, in itself, cause stress. As a result, school refusal is often accompanied by tantrums and health complaints, claims of headaches or sudden bouts of sickness when it comes to leaving the house. Some children may simply refuse to go or plead and beg to stay home.
The impact
Clinical psychologist Dr Fiona Wilson argues that school refusal is different to truancy in that truancy is often done in secret. She states, "These children are saying 'I want to be there but I can't'. The majority of children actually like school. They are bright and intelligent."
Dr Wilson goes on to explain that school refusal is not a widely discussed or understood problem; "We, as mental health professionals, know it is a big issue but I don't think out there in the public it is really spoken about. A lot of parents feel quite isolated by this."
Parents are under fire for their child's attendance and, in extreme circumstances, can be subjected to fines and prosecution. No parent wants to see their child in distress. However, when the issue isn't understood and tackled early, school refusal can quickly escalate from an occasional day at home to extended periods of time away from school.
In reality
Mother to nine year old son, Emma O'Connor, recently spoke to the BBC about her experiences of school refusal. It was at the start of year 5 when Emma's son began to feign illness and make excuses to avoid going to school. She stated, "He couldn't tell me what was wrong" and described how it became progressively worse, with months of daily battling: "I was a bit shocked and reeling from it all and did not know what to do. Eventually we decided not to force him to go anymore and give him a bit of time off. In the end we were unofficially home educating without preparation or knowing what we were doing."
Fortunately, a new school helped to reintroduce Emma's son to education. The deputy head teacher and Emma worked together on strategies for dealing with his anxiety issues and, while he has never been able to articulate what made him so anxious in the first place, he grew in confidence.
Hard work and communication between the school and family enabled Emma's son to return to class. Today, the time invested in helping him to deal with his anxiety shows. In Emma's words, he is now a "normal 13-year-old guy who hates schools exactly the same amount as other kids."
Facing the issue
Today, Emma feels school refusal is a 'hidden problem', one for which her son's old school was unprepared to support her with. Home/school engagement is vital in supporting a student to deal with the anxiety and fear at the root of the problem. With the issue becoming more prominent, recognising early and acting on signs of a family struggling with school attendance is key, enabling staff to provide the appropriate support and care needed before the issue escalates.
The subject of absence and attendance can be tricky to approach. School refusal can cause tensions to run high at home, with parents unsure how best to support their child. Reaching out to their school for advice can feel risky, for fear of judgement or criticism. With hard-to-reach parents, poor communication between home and school is likely to have an adverse effect on a child struggling with their own relationship with the school environment.
Making early contact with home could be the all-important move to open up channels of communication. Encouraging families to talk openly and honestly about what is going on at home benefits everyone, including teachers, parents and, most importantly, the child in question. But, with rising workloads, tight budgets and increased pressure in the office, many schools may struggle to balance resources when it comes to picking up the telephone.
Tech to the rescue
Fortunately, technology is bridging the gap between home and school whilst relieving pressure on staff without breaking the school budget. For identifying trends and managing parental engagement on unauthorised and persistent absence, Truancy Call is the ideal solution for busy schools.
With data drawn dynamically from the school's MIS, Truancy Call identifies students who are absent or late and performs first-day contact on behalf of the school. The parent receives a phone call, text or email (freeing up staff time with automated communications) and the parent can respond, for free, in the same manner.
Truancy Call receives over a third of parent responses out of school hours, allowing hard-to-reach and busy parents to engage with their school at a time convenient for them. This level of flexibility encourages a much improved response and ensures stronger parental engagement in the long term. If a parent fails to respond to their school, Truancy Call continues to contact home until a response is received, ensuring no missed or forgotten messages.
If tackling attendance and absence is on your to-do list from September, get in touch now to find out how Truancy Call can support your school. Call 03333 13 14 14 or email email@example.com.

On September 20, 2001, Jon Stewart asked his Daily Show audience an unusual question: Are you okay? "We pray that you are," he said, "and that your family is."
Following the terrorist attacks on 9/11, late night had gone dark as comedians looked to David Letterman—then the genres elder statesman—to speak first. On Monday, September 17, the Late Show host did, delivering a vulnerable but composed address. Days later, Stewart gave us something else—a raw monologue in which he nervously tapped his pen against his desk, slapped his hand down and looked away from cameras in search of an emotional reprieve. Unlike Letterman, he openly wept. But a heartbroken Stewart also took solace in the beauty of watching first responders, police, and firefighters leading a heroic recovery effort—as well as the new view from his apartment: "The Statue of Liberty," he said through tears. "The view from the south of Manhattan is now the Statue of Liberty. You cant beat that."
One can draw a clear line between that tearful address and the more furious one Stewart delivered before Congress this week, when he demanded to know why it was taking so long to pass a bill that will continue funding to cover health care for the first responders who risked their lives on September 11. His testimony was impassioned, articulate, and practically destined to go viral, like a milestone segment from an old Daily Show episode. As he spoke, Stewart fiddled with his pen and even threw it at one point. He slapped his hand against the table. He wept. "Your indifference cost these men and women their most valuable commodity: time," he said. "Its the one thing theyre running out of. This hearing should be flipped. These men and women should be up on that stage, and Congress should be down here answering their questions as to why this is so damn hard and takes so damn long."
At a time when there is no shortage of things to be mad about, Stewart managed to make this issue—this one issue—feel like the only battleground that mattered. And his insistent emotional investment has already moved the needle, nine years after Stewarts Daily Show first brought national attention to the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation.
Since Stewart left The Daily Show, in 2015, the media landscape has been flooded with Stewart acolytes—comedian-activist hybrids, most of whom got their start as Daily Show correspondents, who specialize in emphatic monologues designed as much to effect change as they are to evoke laughs. Given that, why does Stewarts effort this week feel so singular? And more importantly, could Stewart actually succeed in getting these first responders covered for good?
Alison Dagnes, a political science professor at Shippensburg University who has written multiple books about the relationship between politics and media, sees several potential answers. First, theres the issue itself: helping first responders deal with grave illness is about as nonpartisan as a cause can get. Stewart has also been off the airwaves for nearly four years now—which makes his return to the spotlight all the more exciting, especially to fans who have likely grown increasingly frustrated with the state of things under the Trump administration. Should the bill pass, Dagnes said, well have Stewart to thank, insofar as hes made this a national issue once again—though some supporters of the bill wont exactly see Stewart as the draw. "I mean, does a farmer in the middle of Oklahoma really care about Jon Stewart?" Dagnes reasoned. "No. Does he care about firefighters? Yes….And does he care about firefighters who were sick, running into a building on September 11th? You betcha. I mean, this is the material that Toby Keith wrote his zillion songs about."
Stewart also has a long emotional history with this matter, contributing to his impact. At the time Stewart first began advocating for the 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, Republicans seemed to be squashing the bill—but three days after Stewart excoriated the measures opponents and sat down with a group of angry first responders for an on-air panel, the bill wound up passing. In 2015, Stewart traveled to D.C. alongside a group of first responders to lobby for continued funding, blasting Congress for dragging their feet. And this year, he returned. Less than 24 hours after Stewarts latest angry speech to senators went viral, the bill passed the House Judiciary Committee unanimously.
"Since Stewart was clearly so rightfully angry about this, and has been forever, it felt authentic," Dagnes said. "He wasn't doing this because he just hates President Trump." (As Dagnes noted, a common complaint she hears from conservatives during her book tours is that liberal talk-show hosts are simply looking for excuses to bash the president.)
Stewart may no longer helm The Daily Show, but his influence on the late-night genre has been both indelible and undeniable. Just look at all the series hosted by his former correspondents: John Olivers Last Week Tonight, Samantha Bees Full Frontal, Hasan Minhajs Patriot Act. Stephen Colberts Late Show, which follows stricter rules as a broadcast franchise, also bears Stewarts stamp—literally, in this case because Stewart is an executive producer of that show. Even Jimmy Kimmel, who could be described as more of a Letterman disciple than a student of Stewart, has gotten decisively political, as seen when he faced off against Republicans on health care. But despite moments like that—and Olivers successful crashing of the FCC website after raising an unlikely sense of passion and urgency around net neutrality—its hard to imagine any other hosts trip to D.C. landing with as much impact as Stewarts has.
Still, as Dagnes points out, "Congress is a slow-moving beast, and thats under the best of circumstances. And right now, were not under the best of circumstances, so its even more slow going. But this might be one of the things that theyre able to accomplish, if for no other reason than it really…this should be a no-brainer."
So, why has it been so hard to secure stable funding for this bill? According to political scientist and American Enterprise Institute resident scholar Norman Ornstein, for all the hoopla surrounding Stewarts latest viral evisceration, its still hard to say. "This one, in some ways, is a big puzzle, because it oughta be a no-brainer," he said. "In decades past, it would have been taken care of very quickly…I think its a combination of inertia, of the just tribal difficulty of getting much done in Congress, and I also think that we have a problem where Republicans look at this and say, Its New York. Thats not our country." (Stewart decried that very point in his speech Tuesday when he said, "Al Qaeda didnt shout Death to Tribeca! They attacked America," Stewart said. "These men and women, and their response to it, is what brought our country back.")
Another hurdle in the race to get traction on any issue is the daily deluge of Trump stories, which clog the news cycle and make it hard for Americans to retain sustained focus on just about any one topic—a factor that might explain why Stewarts successors in the late-night field rarely manage to spur action like Stewart has. "You can grab attention and make people think for a minute, and you can highlight some of the idiocies, or outrages, that are there," Ornstein said. "But not much moves the needles these days."
Oddly enough, however, that flood of stories might be whats helped set Stewart over the top this week—not because of how hes covereRead More – Source

1) Introverts don't like to talk
Introverts just don't talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won't shut up for days.
2) Introverts are shy
What they need is a reason to interact. they don't interact for the sake of interacting. if you want to talk to an introvert, just start talking. don't worry about being polite.
3) Introverts are rude
Introverts want everyone to just be real and honest. unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting.
4) Introverts don't like people
If you are lucky enough for an introvert to consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you're in.
5) Introverts don't like to go out in public
Introverts take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don't need to be there for long to "get it". they're ready to go home, recharge, and process it all. in fact, recharging is absolutely crucial for introverts.
6) Introverts always want to be alone
Introverts think a lot. they daydream. they like to have problems to work on, puzzles to solve. but they can also get incredibly lonely if they don't have anyone to share their discoveries with.
7) Introverts are weird
Introverts think for themselves and because of that, they often challenge the norm. they don't make decisions based on what is popular or trendy.
8) Introverts are aloof nerds
It's just that their inner world is much more stimulating and rewarding to them.
9) Introverts don't know how to relax and have fun
Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public places.
10) Introverts can become extroverts
Introverts cannot "fix themselves" and deserve respect for their natural temperament and contributions to the human race.

Mariah Carey is continuing to show off her very impressive weight loss in a sweet new Thanksgiving video with her two children. Mariah was flaunting her amazing body in a slinky black dress in a new upload on her Instagram account this week, which showed her preparing dinner for the Holiday with twins Monroe and Moroccan.
The adorable clip showed the family spending some quality time together as they cooked in the kitchen. Carey was helping her kids put marshmallows on a dish, while Moroccan and Monroe could both be seen slipping a few of the sweet treats into their mouth as they cooked together.
"It's very exciting," the "We Belong Together" singer told fans in the clip she shared this week, as she showed off her curves in a low-cut, body-hugging black dress with a sparkly gold bolero wrapped around her shoulders. "We've got to get it so that they can make it, like, melt all over it."
"We don't want them to go up in flames," Mariah then said in the video as they had fun in the kitchen, revealing that they already had a "charred marshmallow" as a result of their efforts cooking for the U.S. Holiday on November 22.
She then sweetly smiled for the camera as she told her 7.5 million followers, "Happy Thanksgiving, Darlings!"
Writing in the caption of the sweet family video, Carey joked about her and her families being "foodies."
"The foodies on Thanksgiving!" she said, alongside a turkey and a crying laughing emoji. She also added the hashtag #HappyThanksgiving to her post.
The latest clip showing of Mariah's amazing new body comes shortly after the star underwent a pretty dramatic transformation earlier this year after losing a reported more than 30 pounds.
Entertainment Tonight reported back in January that the star had undergone gastric sleeve surgery. Since then, she appears to have only lost more weight while flaunting her impressive body during appearances and on social media.
As the Inquisitr reported in August, the mom of two gave fans a good look at her weight loss while vacationing with her kids.
The star posted a snap of herself in a skin-tight wetsuit to Instagram which she unzipped slightly to show a little skin in a bedazzled purple top.
Carey also showed a sweet full-body shot as she and her children spent some quality time together on a yacht, revealing her weight loss as she struck a pose on the water with her 7-year-old daughter Monroe, who she shared with former husband Nick Cannon.
Entertainment Tonight claimed in June that the "GTFO" singer is "thrilled" with the results of her very impressive weight loss.

The Terror is a fictional tale based on the real life experience of the notoriously doomed John Franklin Expedition.
The two ships, the HMS Erebus and the HMS Terror, sailed from England in 1845. Their aim was to explore the area around Beechey Island and Cornwallis Island before attempting to find the Northwest Passage through the Arctic Circle to the Pacific Ocean. However, as they pressed on southward they became stuck and their ships were frozen in the ice for two years along the west coast of King William Island. Sir John Franklin, the expedition leader, decided to winter on Beechey Island against the advice of other seasoned explorers and naval officers, including Francis Crozier, the book's central character. Eventually, the men, facing starvation, cold and scurvy, abandoned ships and took off on foot across King William Island in a desperate attempt to try to find a passage south and, hopefully, rescue. They never made it and the fate of the ships was a mystery up to this year.
Dan Simmons adds to that an ice monster out of the darkest spiritual realms and a local Inuit girl with an agenda of her own.
My impressions:
My first word of advice: if you don't like horrors, don't even touch The Terror. Some of its chapters were so inhumanly cruel that I had to skim them. I didn't want to have nightmares; mind you I like dark stories, the darker the better (but only up to a point as it seems). Still I grant it: Simmons knows how to create monsters out of the ugliest pits of hell who hide, very conveniently, under human skin, waiting for favourable circumstances to resurface. A chilling thought – almost as chilling as the Arctic climate – which could be a leitmotiv of this novel.
When it comes to different POVs and the narration itself I found the book strangely uneven. It seemed the author couldn't decide what to do with the historical material he based it on. Should it be just a background of a sci-fi novel? Should the heroic battle with hostile environment whilst lacking adequate clothing and nutrition play the main role, with sci-fi elements scattered around just to spice the story up?
Personally I would be happier if the sci-fi threads dominated the narration but it happened only very near the end. That twist, although greeted by me with a sigh of relief, was a strange counterbalance to the entire historical side of the book which, overall, seemed too long-winded and too wordy. I really didn't need to know the whole drama behind badly soldered food cans (the food was a real bargain…until it started to kill the sailors with lead) or the whole history of British Arctic expeditions (sheer madness if you ask me but who I am to judge).
Final verdict:
A long novel which would profit of some professional editing. Some parts were brilliant, some – plainly too long and boring. There were also passages describing such cruelty that it made my toes curl. Was it worth reading? Yes it was – providing you like very dark stories of doomed expeditions and you have a lot of free time.

{55. No doubt, surely, all that is in the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. No doubt, surely, Allah's promise is true. But most of them know not.
56. It is He Who gives life, and causes death, and to Him you (all) shall return. Allah is the Owner of the heavens and earth. His promise is true and is indeed going to be fulfilled. He is the One Who gives life and causes death. To Him is the return of everyone, and He is the One who has the power over that, and the One Who knows everything about every creature; its deterioration, and where every speck of it has gone, be it land, oceans or otherwise.
57. O mankind! There has come to you good advice from your Lord, and a cure for that which is in your breasts, – a guidance and a mercy for the believers.
58. Say: "In the bounty of Allah, and in His mercy; therein let them rejoice." That is better than what (the wealth) they amass.
59. Say: "Have you ever considered all the means of sustenance which Allah has bestowed upon you from on high and which you thereupon divide into 'things forbidden' and 'things lawful'?" Say: "Has Allah given you leave [to do this] – or do you, perchance, attribute your own guesswork to Allah?"
60. But what do they think – they who attribute their own lying inventions to Allah – [what do they think will happen to them] on the Day of Resurrection? Behold, Allah is indeed limitless in His bounty unto men – but most of them are ungrateful.}
None can make Anything Lawful or Unlawful except Allah or Those Whom Allah has allowed us to do so
Ibn Abbas, Mujahid, Ad-Dahhak, Qatadah, Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam and others said: "This Ayah was revealed to criticize the idolators for what they used to make lawful and unlawful. Like the Bahirah [a she-camel whose milk was spared for the idols and nobody was allowed to milk it], Sa'ibah [A she-camel let loose for the free pasture of their false gods and nothing was allowed to be carried on it] and Wasilah [a she-camel set free for idols because it has given birth to a she-camel at its first delivery and then again gives birth to a she-camel at its second delivery]." (At-Tabari 15:112-113) As Allah said: "And they assign to Allah a share of the tilth and cattle which He has created." (6:136) Imam Ahmad recorded a narration from Malik bin Nadlah who said, "I came to Allah's Messenger while in filthy clothes. He said,
"Do you have wealth?"
I answered, 'Yes.' He said, "What kind of wealth?"
I answered, 'All kinds; camels, slaves, horses, sheep.' So he said, "If Allah gives you wealth, then let it be seen on you." Then he said,
"It is not that your camels are born with healthy ears, you take a knife and cut them, then say, "This is a Bahr," tear its skin, then say, 'This is a Sarm," and prohibit them for yourself and your family?"
I replied, 'Yes.' He said,
"What Allah has given you is lawful. Allah's Forearm is stronger than your forearm, and Allah's knife is sharper then your knife." (Ahmad 3:473, 4:136)
And he mentioned the Hadith in its complete form, and the chain for this Hadith is a strong, good chain.
Allah criticized those who make lawful what Allah has made unlawful or vice verse. This is because they are based on mere desires and false opinions that are not supported with evidence or proof. Allah then warned them with a promise of the Day of Resurrection. He asked: "And what think those who invent a lie against Allah, on the Day of Resurrection"
What do they think will happen to them when they return to Us on the Day of Resurrection? Ibn Jarir said that Allah's statement: "Truly, Allah is full of bounty to mankind," indicated that the bounty is in postponing their punishment in this world. (At-Tabari 15:113) I (Ibn Kathir) say, the meaning could be that the Grace for people is in the good benefits that He made permissible for them in this world or in their religion. He also has not prohibited them except what is harmful to them in their world and the Hereafter. "but most of them are ungrateful." So they prohibited what Allah has bestowed upon them and made it hard and narrow upon themselves. They made some things lawful and others unlawful. The idolators committed these actions when they set laws for themselves. And so did the People of the Book when they invented innovations in their religion.
{61. Neither you do any deed nor recite any portion of the Qur'an, nor you do any deed, but We are Witness thereof when you are doing it. And nothing is hidden from your Lord (so much as) the weight of a speck of dust on the earth or in the heaven. Not what is less than that or what is greater than that but is (written) in a Clear Record.}
Everything Small or Large is within the Knowledge of Allah
Allah informed His Prophet that He knows and is well acquainted with all of the affairs and conditions of him and his Ummah and all of creation and its creatures at all times – during every hour and second. Nothing slips or escapes from His knowledge and observation, not even anything the weight of a speck of dust within the heavens or earth, or anything that is smaller or larger than that. Everything is in a manifest Book, as Allah said: "And with Him are the keys of the Ghayb (all that is hidden and unseen), none knows them but He. And He knows whatever there is in the land and in the sea; not a leaf falls, but He knows it. There is not a grain in the darkness of the earth nor anything fresh or dry, but is written in a Clear Record." (6:59) He stated that He is Well-Aware of the movement of the trees and other inanimate objects. He is also Well-Aware of all grazing beasts. He said: "There is not a moving creature on earth, nor a bird that flies with its two wings, but are communities like you." (6:38) He also said: "And no moving creature is there on earth but its provision is due from Allah." (11:6)
If this is His knowledge of the movement of these things, then what about His knowledge of the movement of the creatures that are commanded to worship Him Allah said: "And put your trust in the Almighty, the Most Merciful, Who sees you when you stand up, and your movements among those who fall prostrate." (26:217-219) That is why Allah said:"Neither you do any deed nor recite any portion of the Qur'an, nor you do any deed, but We are Witness thereof when you are doing it." meaning, 'We are watching and hearing you when you engage in that thing.' When Jibril asked the Prophet about Ihsan, he said: "It is that you worship Allah as if you are seeing Him. But since you do not see Him, be certain that He is watching you." (Muslim 1:37)
{62. Behold! The Awliya' of Allah, no fear shall come upon them nor shall they grieve.
63. Those who believed, and have Taqwa.
64. For them is good news, in the life of the present world, and in the Hereafter. No change can there be in the Words of Allah. This is indeed the supreme success.}
Identifying the Awliya of Allah
Allah tells us that His Awliya' (friends and allies) are those who believe and have Taqwa of Allah as He defined them. Every pious, God-fearing person is a friend of Allah, therefore, "no fear shall come upon them" from the future horrors they will face in the Hereafter. "nor shall they grieve." over anything left behind in this world. Ibn Jarir recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that Allah's Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
"Among the servants of Allah there will be those whom the Prophets and the martyrs will consider fortunate."
It was said: "Who are these, O Messenger of Allah, so we may love them?" He said:
"These are people who loved one another for the sake of Allah without any other interest like money or kinship. Their faces will be light, upon platforms of light. They shall have no fear (on that Day) when fear shall come upon people. Nor shall they grieve when others grieve." Then he recited: "Behold!! Verily, the Awliya' (friends and allies) of Allah, no fear shall come upon them nor shall they grieve." (At-Tabari 15:120)
The True Dream is a Form of Good News
Ibn Jarir narrated from Ubadah bin As-Samit that he [recited] to Allah's Messenger :
"For them is good news, in the life of the present world, and in the Hereafter." [and said,] "We know the good news of the Hereafter, it is Paradise. But what is the good news in this world?" He said:
"It is the good dream that a servant may see or it is seen about him. This dream is one part from forty-four or seventy parts of Prophethood." (At-Tabari 15:132)
Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Dharr said, "O Messenger of Allah! What about a man who does deeds that the people commend him for?" Allah's Messenger said,
"That is the good news that has been expedited for the believer." (Ahmad 5:156)
Imam Ahmad recorded that Abdullah bin Amr said that Allah's Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: "For them is good news, in the life of the present world" Then he said,
"The good dream that comes as a good news for the believer is a part of forty-nine parts of prophethood. So if anyone of you has a good dream, he should narrate it to others. But if he has a dream that he dislikes, then it is from Shaytan to make him sad. He should blow to his left three times, and say : "Allahu Akbar," and should not mention it to anyone." (Ahmad 5:219)
And it was also said, "The good news here is the glad tidings the angels bring to the believer at the time of death. They bring him the good news of Paradise and forgiveness." Similarly, Allah said: "Verily, those who say: "Our Lord is Allah (alone)," and then they stand straight and firm, on them the angels will descend (at the time of their death) (saying): "Fear not, nor grieve! But receive the glad tidings of Paradise which you have been promised! We have been your friends in the life of this world and are (so) in the Hereafter. Therein you shall have (all) that your souls desire, and therein you shall have (all) for which you ask. An entertainment from (Allah), the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (41:30-32) In the Hadith narrated by Al-Bara', the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
"When death approaches the believer, angels with white faces and white clothes come to him and say: "O good soul! Come out to comfort and provision and a Lord who is not angry." The soul then comes out of his mouth like a drop of water pouring out of a water skin." (Ahmad 4:287)
Their good news in the Hereafter is as Allah said: "The greatest terror (on the Day of Resurrection) will not grieve them, and the angels will meet them, (with the greeting) "This is your Day which you were promised." (21:103), and, "On the Day you shall see the believing men and the believing women – their light running forward before them and by their right hands. Glad tidings for you this Day! Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), to dwell therein forever! Truly, this is the great success!" (57:12) Allah then said: "No change can there be in the Words of Allah." meaning, this promise doesn't change or breach or fall short. It is decreed and firm, and going to happen undoubtedly. "This is indeed the supreme success."

At The Dog Wellness Centre we offer care that promotes a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle for dogs and their owners. We want to inspire you to play an active role in your dogs wellbeing as they journey through life. We are here to assist you in your pursuit of wellness with the overall goal of achieving a higher and longer quality of life for all the dogs we encounter.
Canine physiotherapy is helpful for many conditions and is now more widely accepted than ever by the veterinary profession.
At The Dog Wellness Centre we are happy to maintain open channels of communication with your vet to ensure the best and most comprehensive care for your pooch. Although it's not compulsory, sometimes it can be helpful to combine veterinary reports and images with our physiotherapy evaluations to determine accurate problem lists, effective treatment plans and realistic goals. We feel that working alongside your veterinary healthcare team aids the professionalism of our service and assists us in delivering the best care possible to your beloved pet.
At our state of the art clinic we specialise in providing canine physiotherapy and hydrotherapy. Hydrotherapy is a relaxing form of water based exercise in a custom designed treadmill for dogs. It is an extremely useful adjunct to many of our rehabilitation protocols and it offers amazing results in the canine field.
At The Dog Wellness Centre we strive to provide a stress free experience for dogs and their owners. Our aim is to assist you in achieving the maximum level of healing and recovery so that you and your dog can get back to enjoying life at its fullest.
Here are some examples of when canine physiotherapy is indicated:
Elderly Dogs
Wellness involves taking action towards avoiding the debilitating and chronic issues that affect quality of life as an individual ages. Most veterinary health models are built around treating pain by providing symptomatic relief with the use of pain killers and anti-inflammatory medications for chronic conditions such as arthritis. However many owners are unenthusiastic about relying solely on this approach and would like a more proactive way to manage.
Canine physiotherapy is widely recognised as an effective treatment option for older dogs where goals are based around minimising pain, enhancing mobility and prolonging quality of life. We are happy to work with your vet to find the best management approach for your dog. The benefits are ten fold and for us there is no better feeling than seeing improvements with your dogs day to day function, mobility and activity levels. Our aim is to bring happiness and ease of movement to the senior dogs we see at our practice.
Post Operative Rehabilitation
In human medicine, rehabilitation is a logical part of orthopaedics. At The Dog Wellness Centre we believe that dogs should receive the same attention and care as humans. Post operatively there are a wide range of physiotherapy techniques and principles which can assist healing and strengthen the body leading to better outcomes for your dog whilst minimising the risk of re-injury. In nearly all cases, rehabilitation speeds up the recovery process and increases the likelihood of an excellent outcome.
Recovery from Injury
Physiotherapy provides pain relief, increased mobility and improved quality of life to injured dogs. Pain is a distressing feeling for animals. At The Dog Wellness Centre we provide hands on canine therapy and give you injury management advice to help minimise your dogs negative experience. From there we guide you through the process of recovery to get your best friend back to their pre-injury levels of exercise. In the case of more severe injuries or conditions, we can assist you with the day to day modifications that must be put in place and we offer care and support to you during those difficult times.

In May 2015, Narendra Modi, who previously served as Gujrat Chief Minister from 2001 – 2014, swept to power on the agenda of change. Born in Sep 17, 1950 and having a strong background of having made his way in the world (as opposed to his chief opponent Rahul Gandhi, who was literally born into political power), and having had a successful stint in Gujrat where the state saw considerable progress during his 13 year rule, the expectation from the masses is huge. While Mr. Modi, our 15th Prime Minister, has shown some promise and some intent, real changes on the ground and still few, more than 8 months after he assumed office. Real 'change' on the ground, impacting the lives of the common men are still to be seen.
In light of the above, here is my Top 5 charter of a possible agenda for change that Mr. Modi and his Government could pursue to take their mandate forward…
[dropcap type="1″]1[/dropcap]Invest in Infrastructure – If you travel across the country, you realize the pathetic roads that we rely on for moving people and goods. If you have driven in the Freeways in the US, you will realize what a stark comparison our Highways are. There are exceptions which are coming up –
The excellent Kota Expressway, the excellent Taj Expressway – just imagine if all the roads connecting our major cities and towns were like that – how easy it would be, not only to travel, but also to transport goods of consumption. Cutting down the time significantly in transporting goods from far corners of the country to the cities would dramatically reduce the cost of living in the cities. Couple this with a set of climate controlled warehouses, and some of the other measures we are talking about, and we will have a great start on our journey to prosperity. This is one sector where we should absolutely welcome FDI, as the costs involved are considerable and we can use every single $ we get. According to a statement released by Goldman Sachs in 2010, India needs to spend $ 1.7 trillion in this decade on infrastructure.
[dropcap type="1″]2[/dropcap]Invest in Agriculture – With a burgeoning population, with the headcount having tripled since independence; even with a quadruple jump in the production of food, we are still behind as far as nutrition needs of our population is concerned. Focus on nutrition, the right food to the people, at
a cost that can be afforded by the population is an absolute must. While we have already spoken about inadequate storage and sub-par transportation, there are several other problems ailing the sector that has to be addressed, including the quality and availability of seeds, manures, fertilizers and biocides, lack of scientific irrigation techniques, lack of mechanization, Agricultural marketing and scarcity of capital. Focus on all these will help bring quality, affordable food to each and every section of our population and will spar well being and growth across a large section of our population
[dropcap type="1″]3[/dropcap]Eliminate corruption – Address the parallel economy – All of whatever we are talking about needs money; the challenge is that FDI is not an answer to all our ills. Anyone living and working in India will have tales to tell about the humongous parallel (or black) economy that exists here. Loads of businessmen deal in cash and never declare their incomes and pay taxes, in the small sector;
the salaried classes are overburdened with direct and indirect taxes which go up each year while a section of the rich population never bothers to pay taxes – an arrangement which works with the corruption and nepotism in the Indian polity. In India, we have grown used to all the nepotism and corruption all around us – we do not hesitate to pay a bribe to any official to get simple things done, all civic organizations are a living testimony to this. The rut goes up the ladder. By conservative estimates, there is at least as much money circulating in the parallel economy as there is in the legit one; By Finance Ministry estimates itself in 2012, only 30 Million of the 1.2 Billion people in India paid income tax.
[dropcap type="1″]4[/dropcap]Invest in Healthcare & Education – The state of public health sector in India is pathetic. If you have been to Government hospitals in India, particularly in the semi-urban and rural areas, you will realize that most of our citizens have only very basic access to quality healthcare.
The private health sector, on the other hand, is significantly more popular. One reason behind this fact is the total lack of fate of the population in public healthcare, and only those who cannot afford would even dream of going to Government facilities; Sadly, the state of Government sponsored education is also very similar, with even the poor aspiring to private education as the only way to a decent future. Both of these need to be addressed on a war footing, and both of these need considerable resources. Just do the maths, if we can address the 50% of 'black' economy, this in itself, would provide the funds to give a strong, much needed impetus to both these sectors.
[dropcap type="1″]5[/dropcap]Make it easy to do business here – This is the only area which I feel the current Government is taking positive steps in. The ruling party's support base are folks who are strong in the business community, ranging from the small businessmen to much larger business families and houses. While the previous government had been largely patronized by the Top players only whose interests lay in
maintaining the status quo and preventing newer players entering the mix, the current set up encourages opening opportunities for the entrepreneurs to explore growth in this sector. The Make in India initiative, his launching of labor reforms in Oct 14, including a single window labor compliance process, and his Industry friendly image an record combine to make this a possibility that will see early success.
While I feel that the Government has taken some steps to enable ease of doing business in India, the planning and progress around the first four are still to be seen. If Mr. Modi is to make his mark as a leader who played a significant role in building a Modern India on top of the morass of the bleak Nehruvian legacy, I strongly believe that this 5 point charter will help build a foundation for sustained growth and prosperity.

Things You'll Need
Clean cloths
Dish washing liquid
Fraser Johnston furnaces are meant for residential use to heat the home when it's cold outside. The furnaces are built to fit into compact spaces and offer many features, including an Energy Star rating, quiet operating noise, fuel efficiency ratings of 95 and above, and they include limited warranties. If you maintain, clean, and care for the furnace on a regular basis, it operates well with few problems. If issues do arise, however, troubleshoot and fix the basic problems yourself.
Step 1
Connect the Fraser-Johnston furnace to the power supply if the furnace isn't operating. Replace or reset the circuit breaker or fuse as needed. Turn the furnace's main power switch "On" and move the control dial to "Auto" or "Heat."
Step 2
Turn the gas valve on in a counterclockwise motion to ensure there's gas supply if the furnace is running but not heating. Adjust the thermostat temperature to a setting above the current temperature, as the furnace will not run if the thermostat is set below the ambient temperature.
Step 3
Unplug and turn off the Fraser-Johnston furnace if the furnace is making a lot of noise or seems to be low on heat. Remove the front access panel door and unhook the filter from position. Clean the filter with a vacuum or wash well with cold, soapy water. Completely dry the filter before replacing it in the filter housing.
Step 4
Use a clean, damp cloth or vacuum to remove dirt and debris from the blower motor and fan if the fan is noisy. If the condensate drain is full, empty the drain pan.
Step 5
Look at the pilot light assembly and wipe clean with a damp cloth if the light isn't steady or staying lit. Dirt or grease can interfere with proper pilot light function. Adjust the metal bracket around the pilot light (the thermocouple) so that it's positioned evenly around the flame.
Step 6
Press the reset button on the control panel and close the access door firmly. Restore power. Contact Fraser-Johnston if the problem persists.
