The 51-year-old host was not impressed with Mick Jagger, 73, for continuing to have children despite his age, Express reported.
He did not hold back as he told co-hosts Susanna Reid and Charlotte Hawkins that the singer-songwriter should be “legally sterilized” to prevent him from “breeding”. Watch the video here.
The former Britain’s Got Talent judge’s tirade came as the three Good Morning Britain presenters talked about a woman giving birth in her sixties.
Susanna, 46, was heard coming to the defense of the unknown female, explaining to Piers: “It’s a wanted baby. She’s obviously someone who’s made a very considered choice about whether to have a child.
“[There are] all sorts of mums that wouldn’t be a great mum as she clearly thinks she’s going to be. I feel very reluctant judging another woman about her life choices, which is why I don’t want to say to her, ‘This is not the right thing to do’.”
Piers retorted: “But you never judge any woman for doing anything and my argument is sometimes some women, like men, should be judged.”
Her words appeared to anger Piers, who then went on to say: “I don’t like Mick Jagger cavorting around, impregnating 29-year-olds at the age of a thousand and I don’t particularly think this is right. I think you should be able to say eventually, ‘Actually, this isn’t right, is it?’”
“Well, if we’re going to judge women for having children at that age then men equally should be judged,” said Susanna in response.
It should be recalled that Mick Jagger and Melanie Hamrick welcomed their newborn son in December 2016. Deveraux Octavian Basil Jagger is the eighth child of the the Rolling Stones frontman.

The ranking, released by the National Tourism Advisory Board (TAB) and the Private Economic Development Research Board, measured 15 tourist destinations across Vietnam based on 12 factors divided into four indices: enabling environment, policy of travel and tourism, infrastructure and natural and cultural resources. that enable the sustainable development of the travel and tourism sector.
Da Nang received an overall score of 4.7 points out of 7 and benefited from better transport infrastructure, environmental sustainability, tourism policies and a willingness to apply advanced information and communications.
However, the central city, home to long sandy beaches, remains constrained by environmentally friendly activities, natural resources and price competitiveness.
Quang Ninh, home to the famous Ha Long Bay, came second in the ranking, followed by Khanh Hoa, home to Nha Trang, and Quang Nam, famous for the UNESCO heritage site Hoi An.
Hanoi ranked sixth and Ho Chi Minh City eighth on the list. Vietnam’s two largest metropolises face more challenges in safety and security, quality of human resources, environmental sustainability and tourism infrastructure.
Tran Trong Kien, chairman of TAB, said the national tourism competitiveness ranking will help improve the status of Vietnamese tourism, entering the top 50 in the world in the next two to three years.
The country was ranked 63rd out of 140 economies in the 2019 Tourism Competitiveness Rankings, with a biennial report released by the World Economic Forum indicating that the industry was constrained by low labor productivity and preparedness to apply the advanced information and communication technologies.
In 2017, Vietnam was ranked 67th in the world.
Culture, Sports and Tourism Minister Nguyen Van Hung said 15 localities selected for the ranking are home to Vietnam’s most popular tourist destinations; therefore, through the ranking, the localities must find solutions to increase their attractiveness in the coming times.

Esté Bell is one of the coaches that we found this month and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her strength of character and honesty.
She is a 49 years old and she’s lived an active life. From her teens to her late thirties she battled disordered eating and health challenges. Her pivotal moment was the realization that her health was deteriorating, prompting her to embark on a journey towards holistic wellness.
She’s now a certified life coach, focusing on helping middle aged individuals realize that life can be fulfilling through change. Her personal journey, marked by her experience with disordered eating, PCOS, fertility treatments, and emotional abuse, equips her with empathy and a deep understanding of her clients.
Her coaching approach is client driven, allowing clients to set the pace and select the tools that work best for them. Her main focus is on raising awareness of how the body responds to different inputs, leading to better choices, sustainable habits, and overall well being. Here is what she said.
Meet Life Coach Esté Bell:
Name: Esté Bell
Pillar: The Mind, The Body
Who is this coach for: Anyone who needs help with stress and recovery management, sleep and nutrition improvement, and building reselience to embrace life’s challenges like a champion.
How they can help: By using coaching, and various tools and techniques customized to each individual’s needs like personalized assesments, questionaries, breathing techniques, food diaries and other ways of tracting subjective and objective data.
First of all, how are you and your family doing after these Pandemic times?
Of course you had to start with that question.
The pandemic caused a major upheaval in our family as my husband’s anxiety about his business, and his excessive alcohol use, ultimately led to the implosion of our marriage and his relationships with myself, our children and many of his friends.
However, time goes by and although we are living separate lives today, we are all blessed and in good health.
How did the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?
During the Coronavirus lockdown, and immediately after, I exclusively coached crossfitters.
I found them to be a very resilient breed!
Those that contracted the virus presented with common cold symptoms and suffered no after effects.
My fellow crossfitters who had no nutrition background gained weight (and then some) but managed to shake it off in a matter of a few months once they started training again.
My clients and I trained together in small groups and as they had 24 hours, 7 days per week access to me via WhatsApp, we managed to be fitter and in better shape when we returned after 5 months of home workouts!
Unfortunately, many of our other middle aged friends were hit hard by the virus.
Some were hospitalized and many are to this day still troubled by asthma, joint pain and chronic sinus.
Lesson learnt: prevention is always better than cure.
What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?
1. We were not meant to be alone.
We need to feel heard, seen and understood or our mental health will suffer.
2. Who you surround yourself with matters!
The tongue has the power to speak life or death.
Being locked up in a restricted place with a person who constantly spoke death over my life led me down the slippery slope of depression.
It was the daily interaction with clients and training partners that kept my chin up.
3. The energy you put out is the energy you’ll receive back.
This is the law of attraction.
Be negative and you’ll attract negative.
I know of no negative person that is happy.
By attracting negative people you are surrounding yourself with unhappy people, hardly the recipe to happiness.
4. Habits are life.
If you have previously had certain habits or routines in place in your life, you are already equipped with the knowledge and skills to build new habits should your circumstances suddenly change.
You will be more resilient to anxiety and stress caused by change and able to adjust much easier to the new circumstances.
5. Practice a sustainable lifestyle.
How many people do you know who are dependent on supplements for weight management and “healthy nutrition”?
During the pandemic many supplements became unavailable.
Many people lost their means of income or it was severely diminished, making these supplements unaffordable.
Move regularly, hydrate well, practice self care and ingest mostly unprocessed foods, this you can sustain for your whole lifetime.
Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?
I am a 49 year old mother of beautiful twin daughters.
We reside in sunny South Africa.
Although I am not a fitness coach, I have lived a very active life participating in athletics, aerobics, crossfit and weight training.
As a teenager I developed severely disordered eating habits which lasted well into my late thirties.
However, sharing a home with a husband and two growing children made this habit increasingly difficult to maintain. Luckily, I should say, for as the weight on the scale increased so my health deteriorated, which ultimately led me to where I am today.
To compound the situation, I had been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) with insulin resistance in my early twenties.
This resulted in fertility treatment, a multiple pregnancy (triplets) and two years later, a partial hysterectomy.
For 15 years this condition was treated with androgen suppressants, I was always tired, miserable and suffered from debilitating migraines.
One day I woke up to the realization that I might live another forty years.
What quality of life would I have if my health continued to deteriorate and I always felt terrible?
How would I show up for my family if I couldn’t even show up for myself?
If I continued doing what I was doing then, what would my life look like in ten years, never mind forty years?!
Something had to change and I was the only one who could make that change.
Reading on the subject of nutrition led to my first nutrition course, which led to certifications in specialized nutrition, as well as sports and exercise nutrition.
I was officially hooked!
Implementing this knowledge in my own life brought with it the realization that our overall wellness involves much more than just movement and nutrition.
Ever on a quest for more knowledge, I studied sleep, stress and recovery management and later became a certified life coach.
During 2021 I was approached by the Mrs SA Beauty Pageant to become an official sponsor.
Spending time with these beautiful, goal driven women served to heighten the fact that we as humans tend to focus so much on our goals and caring for others, that we totally neglect taking care of ourselves.
While I originally started coaching my fellow crossfitters, my passion lies with the middle aged person who comes to the realization that life can become a long, torturous affair if something does not change and they don’t take action and make that change.
As for own my health?
For the last seven years I have been maintaining a healthy body weight while loving my food!
I am medication free and haven’t had as much as a common cold in six years.
I entered my first Crossfit Open at the age of 45 and ranked 13th in SA in my age group upon completion, totally taking myself by surprise.
I am not in any way special.
When we focus on overall wellness we are capable of surprising ourselves!
What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?
Lack of self confidence.
I met my ex husband, and his family with their narcissistic tendencies, in my late teens.
I was exposed to harsh, negative criticism for over thirty years and over time this destroyed my self confidence.
As a result, and in an effort to gain the validation and approval of others, I became quite the perfectionist.
However, no amount of praise or compliments would erase the lack of confidence and the self doubt that had overcome me.
Risking everything and walking away from an alcoholic husband and years of emotional abuse was the wisest decision I ever made.
A lot of time spent on self improvement and healing in the company of supportive people has brought miracles into my life.
So many people are in need of this, as coaches we are perfectly positioned to provide support, encouragement and upliftment to our clients.
The Coaching Style:
How do you innovate with coaching your clients?
My coaching is very much client driven.
While I will always be the coach, the client sets the pace.
I meet my clients on a weekly basis on a platform of their choosing (most clients opt for WhatsApp video calls when given the choice) and during these sessions we’ll look back over the past week, check in on where we are now, and together make a decision about the week that lies ahead.
I meet my clients where they are and progress with what they find themselves ready, willing, able and comfortable to do.
Whatever tools we use to measure progress are tools the client is comfortable using and has proven to consistently be able to use.
What’s unique about your coaching approach?
I have led a full life and I get to coach out of experience.
I have dealt with and overcome:
1. Disordered eating.
2. PCOS with insulin resistance.
3. Fertility treatment and the death of an unborn child.
4. A total body transformation!
5. A lifetime (or so it seems) with an alcoholic husband and the ensuing emotional abuse.
6. Severe back spasm due to chronic stress which ultimately caused functional scoliosis and the end of my crossfit participation.
(… before I wrote the above I would’ve described my life as a breeze … aren’t we wonderful, resilient creatures?)
My life has equipped me with a healthy dose of experience.
With this comes empathy and the desire to understand where my client is coming from as it enables me to determine the best way in which I can add value to their life.
Every client comes with their own set of chore values and beliefs and these values serve as the foundation or starting point of our coaching journey.
A client working towards a goal that is aligned with core values, is a client that consistently shows up and does the work.
What benefits do your clients get after working with you?
The main take away of my coaching is a growing awareness of how the body reacts to the input it receives.
This not only speaks for nutritional input, but also for the content with which we feed our minds.
After all, we’ll never make the decision to change something if we are not aware of it in the first place.
Once an awareness is created about how the body feels and reacts, let’s say a client might experience a bad workout and low energy levels after a couple of late nights, clients are more prone to making better choices.
Consistently making the better choice leads to building better habits for sustainable results.
Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?
As a Precision Nutrition certified coach I have access to a database of helpful questionnaires and resources.
Although I might now and again ask a client to complete an assessment this is only used if we have no other way of measuring progress.
As I have said before, I have my clients work with the tools they are comfortable with.
For some this might mean using a nutritional tracker, where others might prefer keeping a food diary.
Some clients enjoy completing a daily biofeedback form while others will rather diarize data such as step counts, bed and wake times, water consumption etc.
As long as we have a means of collecting both subjective and objective data and the client can consistently track these, I am not set on using any specific tool.
I do recommend tools such as podcasts, books, breathing techniques and spiritual practices depending on the client, but once again no specific tool is used for every client.
If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?
The present is NOW!
As the word Present implies, it is a gift.
Stop living in the past, it’s past tense.
Why would you want to stay stuck in that place if you can move onto a better place?
Stop worrying about the future.
Worry breeds anxiety.
That which you are worrying about might never even happen, or if it does, it will probably not even be half as bad as you thought it would be.
Realize that this moment, right now, is the youngest you’ll ever be again.
Don’t let the wonder of this moment slip by unnoticed because you are dwelling on things that have past or worrying about things that may never come.
What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?
The choice is mine to make.
No one is going to come to save me.
No one is going to do the work for me.
No one is going to make the choice for me.
The only way anything in my life will change is if I make the choice and do the work to make that change happen.
Every day is filled with choices and I get to choose:
Is this day doomed to be horrible because it’s cold and raining and my plans are ruined?
Or is this the perfect weather to snuggle up and catch up on some reading?
It’s my choice to make.
Your final thoughts?
Life happens to all of us.
In that, you are not unique.
Your attitude will determine your actions and these have the power to affect the rest of your life.
The good thing about hardship is that it provides the opportunity for growth.
Never stop working on yourself.
Acquire the knowledge and build the skills to triumph over any situation and life will serve you well.
My wish for you is that you find yourself in the company of someone who inspires you and adds value to your life.
My wish for myself is that I may add that value to lives of those I encounter, that I may become the mirror in which someone can see the reflection of the truest version of themselves.

“Over the past two years, there was a lot of drama in my life and I wasn’t happy with where I was.

I needed to get back to basics by cutting out the all of the negativity, so I could focus on creating music again,” said Richter. “The music and the fans have always been the most important thing to me; I don’t give a shit about all the drama or getting involved in internet wars. I just want to make some banging music for the fans and get back to rocking shows around the globe.”
After breaking away from his former cohorts, Richter set up shop at DJ MUGGS’ legendary MGS Sound Lab Studios in Burbank, CA to record some smoking new solo joints.

Miranda Lambert holds at the top for a third frame with "Vice" during the week of her much-anticipated album release of The Weight of These Wings. Billy Currington and Cassadee Pope net their first Top 3 hits as solo artists, while Brett Young makes the Top 5 for the first time and The Band Perry enters the Top 10 for the first time. K. Michelle moves into the Top 20 with "Ain't You," while Ariana Grande, Martina McBride, Joe Nichols, and Fifth Harmony all blast into the Top 30. Reba McEntire makes an impressive move to score her third Top 40 hit, with Jana Kramer nabbing her fourth and Thompson Square achieving their second. The splashiest debut of the week comes from the second single to Britney Spears' Glory, which was propelled to a number 48 debut in part by a hot remix with Tinashe and a sexy new video release. Shakira also managed to score a nice debut at number 54 with her new single that also saw a boost from her own new music video release. Other debuts come from Kalie Shorr and Machine Gun Kelly in their first-ever chart appearances, and David Nail with the follow-up to his Top 5 hit "Night's on Fire" from earlier this year.

The latest Eminem Grammy performance was the talk of the red carpet, but not everyone was impressed. Fans of the rapper and his music were angry at his lack of winning an award, but the two men made up for it with their amazing performance. John and Eminem performed a duet, “Stan,” about a fan who becomes obsessed with his music. Their joint performance was a show-stopper, and the duo’s energy was contagious. After the song ended, the two men hugged and lifted Eminem’s arm as a gesture of gratitude.
During the 2003 Oscars, Eminem won a Best Original Song award, but missed the ceremony. This year, however, he made up for it with his performance. The audience was surprised when the rapper walked on stage, performing a new song that had been featured in a film. The crowd was also surprised by the rapper’s appearance. They greeted him with applause. As expected, the performance drew a rap fan’s cheers and a rap-like roar.
While Eminem has a long list of Grammys, his latest performance won’t be his first. He’s been nominated three times before but has yet to win. The 2003 show was the last time he appeared on the red carpet, and it is difficult to imagine his performance being any different this year. But he certainly is a contender. Aside from “Speak Now” and “The Fame Monster,” he’s nominated for two more albums this year.

A video from a New Caledonia aquarium shows how enormous a seahorse family can get. Jean-Paul, a seahorse owned by the Aquarium des Lagons, has given birth to a whopping 1,500 children in the past two months and the family is still growing. Seahorses are unique from most animals in that males carry their partner female's eggs.
In the video, released by the aquarium on 22 January, a pregnant Jean-Paul can be seen swimming along with hundreds of his recently-born children. Seahorses typically give birth to as few as five and as many as 500 offspring at a time. Despite the huge number of offspring, Jean-Paul is still considered pregnant and will likely eject more babies.
An aquarium representative said that Jean-Paul comes from the "half-spined" species of seahorse, which can only be found natively in the Coral Sea.

The Center for State and Local Government Excellence (SLGE) at ICMA-RC has been partnering with the International Public Management Association for Human Resources (IPMA-HR) and the National Association of State Personnel Executives (NASPE) to conduct an annual workforce survey since 2009. This survey of human resource professionals tracks key challenges facing state and local governments in the recruitment and retention of talented employees and the strategies being employed to manage and compensate those staff.
With the COVID-19 pandemic, workforce approaches like flexible work arrangements became much more common, with 53% of organizations offering regular telework, although the scope of implementation was still dependent upon the types of services being delivered. While organizations continued to hire new staff, financial or staffing cuts increased from what had been seen in recent years. Regardless, the share of respondents reporting both furloughs (19%) and layoffs (15%) remained lower this year than they were in the aftermath of the 2007-2008 recession (30% and 42%, respectively). Overall, 28% saw a decrease in full-time employment.
Recruitment has remained difficult, with more than half of respondents indicating that they are having a hard time filling positions in health care, corrections, policing, skilled trades, and engineering. In addition, in organizations recruiting registered nurses, about 4 in 5 indicated that they received fewer qualified applications than the number of positions available.
One looming challenges for public sector agencies is the retirement of long-time employees, as the baby boom generation prepares to leave the workforce. This year’s survey included an assessment of the extent to which that trend has already manifested itself or is still pending, with 52% of respondents indicating that the largest share of potential retirements is still anticipated in the next few years.
Relatedly, one indicator that is significantly higher in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic is the percentage of respondents indicating that retirement-eligible employees are accelerating their retirement plans—at 38%, this is the highest rate observed since the survey began in 2009.
From a competitiveness standpoint, public sector employers often have difficulty competing with private sector firms, which may have more flexibility to offer higher salaries to meet market demand. This is borne out in the survey data regarding salary compensation (60% view their organization as being competitive with the overall labor market) and benefits (92% competitive).
Most jurisdictions did not implement cuts to health or retirement benefits in the past year, but among those that did, reduction or elimination of cost-of-living adjustments or cost shifting from the employer to the employee were the most common steps taken.
This report includes data both for the 2021 survey as well as prior years’ surveys on corresponding questions.

Managing insurance businesses and regulations is not as easy as it appears. For instance, insurance businesses tend to diminish their customers’ car claims. Court approaches are time-consuming and complicated and call for an expert legal practitioner. Chancing upon an auto incident lawyer to deal with the instance is essential and provides event a chance to succeed. In the event you’ve been around in an accident of some hunted and recurrent injuries, it’s critical to look for legal advice immediately.
There are different types of promises you could make together with your insurance carrier depending on everything you signed up for. Automobile insurance policy arrives in a variety of shapes, including liability coverage, in depth coverage, bump car-insurance, and collision insurance policies. Your lawyer may help you get your real life declare. Aside from handling auto claims, car accident lawyers play with other critical roles including collecting evidence, documentation, and even courtroom representation. ko6lnn97z7.

Forty-eight adult patients underwent mitral valve repair for nonischemic valvular incompetence between 1963 and 1981. Early in our experience, 21 individuals received wedge leaflet resection or leaflet plication with posteromedial commissural annuloplasty. More recently, midleaflet annuloplasty has been employed in 13 patients and is now our preferred technique. Operative mortality was 6.3%, and all deaths occurred prior to 1973. Eventually valve replacement was necessary in 10 patients; all replacements were done prior to 1977. Technical errors and progression of rheumatic disease each accounted for half of these replacements. Five-year survival by the life table method was 74 ± 9% for the entire group. Survival at 5 years for patients with prolapsing leaflets was significantly better (87 ± 7%) than for those with normal leaflet motion (46 ± 14%). A residual postoperative murmur of mitral insufficiency correlated with the likelihood of subsequent valve replacement. Important technical aspects of valve repair are described, and criteria for optimal patient selection are discussed. The evolution of reparative methods has led to a better understanding and broader application of mitral valve reconstruction.

Nakajima B6N Tenzan
At a time when the triumphs of the B5N were still almost three years in the future, the Japanese navy issued a specification for a replacement, recognizing that only limited overall design improvement of the B5N could be achieved in the B5N2. Accordingly design went ahead in 1939 of the Nakajima B6N and, despite the Navy's preference for the Mitsubishsi Kasei radial, a Nakajima Mamoru was selected for the prototype which flew on 14 March 1941, demonstrating several problems, notably the poor engine reliability. With the delay of 2 years, by 1943 the engine had improved to the point where serial production was allowed to start, but after only 133 B6N1s had been delivered the Navy ordered the switch to the 1,850 hp (1380 kW) Mitsubishi MK4T Kasei 25. The rest of the 1,268 B6N2s were Kasei powered.
Superficially the B6N Tenzan (Heavenly Mountain) resembled the earlier aircraft, but the much increased power and torque of the big engine and four-blade propeller was found to impose considerable directional stability problems, demanding that the vertical tail surfaces be offset to one side. Flight trials dragged on, and were further delayed by troubles during carrier acceptance tests. Then Nakajima was ordered to stop production of the Mamoru engine, so modifications had to be introduced to suit installation of the Kasei.
In due course B6N1 aircraft (of which only 133 were built) were embarked in the carriers Shokaku, Taiho, Hiyo, Junyo and Zuikaku, and took part in the Battle of the Philippine Sea of June 1943, many being lost when the three Shokaku, Taiho, and Hiyo were sunk.
In that month production started of the slightly improved B6N2 (of which 1,133 were produced before the end of the war), but the heavy losses among Japanese carriers resulted in the 'Jill' being largely deployed ashore, particularly after the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Thereafter many BSNs were consigned to the kamikaze role.

This all started when we planted our garlic back in November. Today that initial gesture came full circle as Melissa and I pulled hundreds of bulbs of garlic from the ground to cure. (We’ll have to go back and count them one of these days…)
The bulbs vary in size from super-sized to puny. Add grading by size and appearance to the to do list.
While we harvested the bulbs today, we’ve already been enjoying garlic goodness for a few weeks. When a restaurant sale fell through, we found ourselves rich in short-season scapes and tried them in a variety of recipes – pesto with pistachios, guacamole, compound butters. (Check our Pinterest recipes board for details.) Not only were they delicious to eat, the were great to have around the house.
Our 4th of July fresh garlic and garden parsley chimichurri disappeared too quickly. Next time it will be even better as the garlic flavor matures and deepens over the curing process, which will take a couple of weeks. We’ll be sure to post some updates on that. For now, the gals are resting in the garage. Hope to get some braided in the next few days for our CSA members!
Postscript shout out for Ron L. Engeland’s Growing Great Garlic (1991).

Re: the only solution
"Most seniors are also just barely able to keep roofs over their heads. Being fired for voting is against the law. If they don't stand up for that then they need to STFU and stop blaming anyone else."
At least they have protections set up decades ago like Medicare and Social Security. The young don't even have THAT to back up on. As for being fired for voting, two words: AT WILL. Try proving your firing was for voting and not for incompetence, insubordination, or (thanks to at will) purely at the employer's discretion.
"The hippies, war protestors and civil right marchers (both black and white) back in 1960s were fighting against the same problems. Many went to jail. Many lost their jobs."
But the barriers were MUCH lower then. There were much fewer people. They could find new jobs or start their own businesses and so on. Plus there was a war on, so they could go to 'Nam and earn a new reputation. Today, with knowledge of you everywhere, two words: GOOD LUCK.
"So if Gen X and Y aren't willing to stand up just to that, then they're screwed and the longer they wait, the more we're going to become just another large banana republic from the 19th century."
Well, if THEY'RE screwed, then WE'RE ALL screwed because they're gonna take everyone else with us.

The Tennessee Valley Authority manages a stairway system of nine dams along the 652 miles of Tennessee River that begins north of Knoxville, winds through northern Alabama and terminates in Kentucky. There are another dams at 20 tributary rivers and reservoirs feeding into the main river.
What happens this week at Fort Loudoun Dam in Lenior City and upstream at Cherokee and Douglas dams will certainly determine the fate of the anglers.
Here is what we can expect. Cherokee Dam on the Holston River and Douglas Dam on the French Broad are forecasted by TVA to release the equivalent of one inch per day into the Tennessee River. As you can see in the photo the water is expected to drop about an inch per day in Fort Loudoun. It’s been doing just that for days now as the water is sent into downriver. Loudoun is full pool at 813 MSL with the level today at 808.
“We will be dealing with two water factors here this week,” noted Josh Bertrand. “Those are the falling water and current.”
The falling water is the given. But so is current. You’ve got to wonder whether or not the fish are already acclimated to the current from living in a river system. So what’s a little more matter? Same thing with the falling water. What it will come down to, is how the combination of all those intangibles influences the prespawn migrations of the bass.

Meteorologist April Loveland's First Warning Forecast
Clouds will build in this afternoon and evening. It will still be on the breezy side with wind gusts up to 40 mph possible.
Skies will clear out overnight. Temperatures will plummet into the upper 20s to low 30s. Winds will be out of the west at 10-20 mph, with gusts up to 30 mph.
Winds will relax a bit on Tuesday. Expect wall-to-wall sunshine with highs in the mid 40s. Winds will be out of the west at 10-15 mph.
We'll see an almost 10 degree warmup on Wednesday with highs in the low and mid 50s. Skies will be partly cloudy.
Our eyes turn to our next cold front which will move in Thursday morning along with colder air. Skies will be mostly cloudy with scattered showers. As colder air filters in, we could see the rain switch over to a little wintry mix or snow.
Much colder air will move in on Friday and Saturday. Weather models are hinting at the chance for snow showers or a wintry mix. Right now, there is a lot of inconsistency. We will keep the chances in the forecast, but will continue to monitor. We do know it is going to be very cold with highs only in the 30s!

Steel Port Piles Protect from Splash Zone Corrosion With SeaShield Series 2000HD™
Subsea & Splash Zone Coatings
|Project Type||Port Pile Protection|
|Products Used||SeaShield™ Series 2000HD System|
|Contractor or Applied By||N/A|
In 2013 the Port of Seattle handled over two million containers (TEUs) and over a one million cruise passengers making it the 14th largest port in North America. With such an amazing amount of stress that the port receives each year, it is imperative that the piles are protected with long-term splash-zone corrosion prevention. In the summer of 2008, the Port of Seattle wanted to start a trial project to protect 40 piles on piers 66 & 69 with Denso’s SeaShield Series 2000HD System. After the piles received proper surface preparation, they applied Denso S105 paste, Densyl Tape with 55% overlap and the Series 2000HD Outercover (80 mil HDPE) to the pile’s splash-zone area. After 3 years of monitoring by the port’s maintenance and engineering groups, they determined that Denso’s SeaShield Series 2000HD System protected the piles from splash zone corrosion as advertised. The Port of Seattle was pleased and moved forward to protect the remaining 510 piles on piers 66 & 69 with the Series 2000HD System. The project was bid out in 2013 and awarded to KC Construction. The SeaShield Series 2000HD System was soon after installed and was completed in early 2014, leaving the Port of Seattle standing strong to keep it a major North American distribution and travel terminal for decades to come.

Polymer clay is a popular and versatile medium used by artists, crafters, and hobbyists to create a wide range of beautiful and intricate projects. While polymer clay offers numerous creative possibilities, there are important considerations regarding its safety, particularly when it comes to handling polymer clay dust.
Composition of Polymer Clay
Polymer clay is primarily composed of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) particles, plasticizers, pigments, and other additives. When polymer clay is manipulated, shaped, or sanded, tiny particles can become airborne and form polymer clay dust. It’s important to note that polymer clay itself is not considered toxic when used and handled properly.
Risks of Inhaling Polymer Clay Dust
While polymer clay dust is not inherently toxic, there are potential risks associated with inhaling excessive amounts of it:
- Respiratory Irritation: Inhaling polymer clay dust can irritate the respiratory system, leading to coughing, sneezing, or shortness of breath.
- Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may develop sensitivity or allergies to the components of polymer clay, which could result in symptoms such as skin rashes, itching, or respiratory discomfort.
- Dust Contamination: Excessive dust inhalation could lead to the accumulation of particles in the lungs over time, potentially causing respiratory issues. However, this risk is generally associated with chronic, long-term exposure in industrial settings rather than occasional crafting activities.
Minimizing Risks and Safe Handling
To minimize the risks associated with polymer clay dust, consider the following safety measures:
- Workspace Ventilation: Work in a well-ventilated area, such as near an open window or under a fume hood, to help disperse any airborne dust.
- Protective Measures: Wear a dust mask or respirator, especially when sanding or working with polymer clay for extended periods.
- Wet Sanding: Wet sanding polymer clay can help prevent dust from becoming airborne. Keep a small container of water nearby and periodically wet the sandpaper while sanding.
- Cleanup: Regularly clean your workspace using damp cloths or disposable wipes to remove dust particles.
- Personal Hygiene: Wash your hands thoroughly after handling polymer clay to prevent unintentional ingestion of dust through contact with food, mouth, or face.
While polymer clay itself is not toxic, the dust generated during its manipulation can pose potential health risks, particularly if inhaled in excessive amounts. By following proper safety precautions, using protective gear, and working in a well-ventilated environment, you can enjoy the creative process of working with polymer clay while minimizing the risks associated with dust exposure. Always prioritize your health and well-being when engaging in any artistic or crafting activities.

I have just got back from a fabulous holiday…three weeks of pure bliss. I am such a lucky girl…Bangkok, Koh Samui and Singapore in one holiday. Luckier still, the Bangkok leg of the trip was sponsored by the Royal Thai Embassy in Pretoria, who arranged an invitation to Bangkok Fashion Week as well as a few days at the world famous Blue Elephant cooking school.
We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our three week holiday stint – great weather, fantastic food, 5 star service, and above all such friendly and helpful people. Despite this, we were still happy to get back home last week. I think that is the benefit of a 3 week break instead of 2 – you are not left still needing a bit more. Plus, I have to say that despite the taxis, broken traffic lights and the billing shambles, Joburg is actually not such a bad place (I must be getting soft!)
After all the holiday fun comes the work – I am now way behind on my blogging. But for now, I am going to jump the queue with this blog because this recipe needs to be shared with the world! In the last week I have dealt with my jet lag troubles by indulging in a few decadent treats. On Sunday morning I woke up at 3am, and after spending an hour tossing and turning in bed I decided to get up and do something useful. I briefly thought about watching a movie, reading a book, or sewing a dress. I decided instead to fulfil an early morning craving for home-made croissants – light and delicious freshly baked pastry was what my troubled tummy was calling for.
So at 4am, with just the afghan hounds for company, I tiptoed downstairs and crept into the kitchen. An early morning start is always enjoyable once you are up, and it also meant the croissants were ready for tea at 3pm.
I always keep a stash of Spar butter in the refrigerator so I don’t break the bank when I make these. I love cooking and baking with butter and maybe you have noticed that it has become quite expensive. If you are going to give this recipe a bash – stay away from the margarine….it just won’t work!
Here is my recipe for Butter Croissants….
500g cake flour
7g dried yeast
40g powdered milk (I used Klim)
350ml iced water
275g butter, at room temperature
1 large egg, beaten
Icing sugar, optional to dust
Sift the cake flour into a large mixing bowl.
Add the yeast to the sifted flour.
Dissolve the salt, sugar and milk powder in 100ml of the iced water.
Stir the ingredients into the iced water.
Make a well in the flour and pour in the iced water mixture.
Use your fingertips to work the flour into the liquid.
Slowly add the remaining iced water taking care not make the dough too sticky.
Knead the dough lightly and then leave to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes or until the dough doubles.
Knead the dough for a few seconds and cover with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the dough for 6 hours.
While the dough is resting, lightly cream the butter.
Leave the butter in the refrigerator to chill – it should be cold but not hard.
Place the butter on grease proof and work it into a 10cm x 10cm block.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and then roll into a large rectangle.
Place the butter block diagonally over the centre of the dough.
Fold the edges over the butter ensuring that it is properly enclosed with the dough.
Roll the dough into a large rectangle.
Fold top third of the dough over the middle section.
Fold the bottom third over the middle section.
Wrap the dough in cling wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface with the folded flap facing right.
Roll out the dough out and repeat the process twice more – The dough must rest for 20 minutes in the refrigerator each time.
Roll the dough into a large rectangle and cut out 2 x 35cm rounds.
Use a ruler to mark each round into eight ‘triangles’.
Refrigerate the triangles for 20 minutes.
Roll each triangle starting at the base and tuck the point under the roll.
Gently curl the roll into a crescent shape.
Leave the rolls to rise at room temperature.
Beat the egg with 5ml cold water.
Brush the croissants with the egg mixture.
Bake at 230 degrees celsius for 10 – 12 minutes or until golden brown.
Dust the croissants with icing sugar when they cool down.
Gosh, this looks marvellous ! I’m so loving it! =D
Hope you give the recipe a bash! They were simply delicious!
can i skip the egg
oh dear….missed your question….but yes!!! You can skip the egg!!!

Preston Road, 1-3 bed homes
Extremely rare for a Shared Ownership scheme, the development will be a mixture of new build and refurbishment, with the impressive refurbished Victorian villas housing 14 apartments and six new 3 bedroom family houses being constructed in the back gardens of the existing villas.
Two existing Victorian villas will be completely refurbished to their former glory, a new apartment block built, and new family houses designed to complement the existing villas.
Designed by leading architects Yelo, Preston Road offers the highest quality of design and build for first time buyers. Set within the Preston Park conservation area, Southern Home Ownership have ensured a sensitive restoration of the villas, retaining many of the original period features.
Large sash windows, the majestic staircase and ornate balustrades have been carefully treated by an expert restoration team, while the poorly conceived link block built by the council in the 1950s has been removed and replaced with a contemporary brick building, designed to complement the Victorian architecture of the original villas.
Carefully considering the locality, building materials for the new homes were meticulously selected to reflect the defining characteristics of Victorian architecture, including subtle vertical and horizontal brick banding, bronze coloured metalwork to balcony balustrades, handrails and perforated screens, and grey zinc roofs to match the existing slate roof of the original villas.
Ensuring the new homes save energy and money for first time buyers, as well as reduce carbon dioxide emissions, Southern Home Ownership have installed rooftop photovoltaic systems which will feed into the communal electricity supply and reduce the requirements for energy from the grid. The existing villas are also being upgraded with double glazing and insulation, improving their energy performance to meet the BREEAM ‘Very Good’ standard.
A key aspect of the landscape and architectural designs of Preston Road is the presence of a number of mature trees throughout the site, which are covered by a Tree Preservation Order.
Showing sensitivity to the existing neighbourhood and surrounding area, we are ensuring the protection of the majority of the trees, as well as planting new shrubs, flowers and trees to complement the landscape design.
A nod to the site’s history as a children’s home, an existing wall at the rear of the site bearing drawings from children who once lived in the institution has been partly retained and transformed into a unique landscaping feature.
Located at Preston Road, Brighton – 2 miles from Brighton beachside and less than a mile from the impressive structure of Brighton Viaduct. These properties for sale in Brighton are ideal for those wanting a home with some history.

Rotherham residents will receive final reminders about their electoral registration form this week.
Forms were sent to every household at the end of October to gather information for the new edition of the Register of Electors, published in February.
Around 114,500 forms were sent out and so far around 76 per cent of household have responded. But that leaves almost 30,000 in danger of losing their right to vote. Credit reference agencies also use the register – so credit ratings can be affected for those not included.

Queen really pushed the boundaries of recording on this one. It's an epic sonic adventure. From rock opera, to folk, to vaudeville, and vile angry rock, this album has a bit of everything. And it's brilliant.
This was the very 1st album I bought with my own money... actually this and THE RUNAWAYS 1st Album (with Cherry Bomb on it) - I Realized I Had Enuff Money To Buy Another Record -So I Went In And Picked That One Up Too.. Hehe!


The Governor of the Red Sea in Egypt has decreed that the Red Sea will be the first plastic bag free Governorate with effect from 1st January 2009. This decree represents a considerable step forward in tackling the issues caused by excess rubbish and in particular plastic bags in the Red Sea.
Plastic bags pose a massive hazard to birds, turtles, dolphins and other marine creatures that are killed in alarming numbers each year after swallowing or becoming entangled in plastic bags blown out to sea. Turtles easily mistake plastic bags for yummy jellyfish. Once in the stomach, the indigestible plastic wraps itself around the intestines of the creature and it slowly starves to death.
Typically plastic bags are used for only 20 minutes before being thrown out; but they will each take up to 1,000 years to rot away. During their long decay millions of bags litter and pollute our streets, the desert, and are blown out to sea where they become a toxic plastic soup that threatens the existence of marine and wild life.
The Red Sea campaign follows many high profile campaigns in Europe to limit this most damaging form of pollution. The government in Ireland introduced a bag tax, which led to a 90 per cent reduction after its introduction in 2002. In 2007, the biggest supermarkets in France imposed a ban on free carriers. They now charge between 2p and 42p for reusable bags. This has removed millions of free bags from high streets and the French government will impose an outright ban in 2010.
Environmental group is working alongside the Governorate to suggest practical solutions and alternatives for plastic bags. As part of the campaign in support of this decree they will also be undertaking education initiatives and lobbying activities.

Automatic annotation of key phrases for their semantic categories can help improving effectiveness of a variety of text-based systems including information retrieval, summarization, question answering, etc. In this paper, we exploit semantic annotations for patent retrieval (i.e., patent invalidity search). We first annotated key phrases for two semantic categories, PROBLEM (e.g. “pattern matching”) and SOLUTION (e.g. “dynamic programming”) in a patent document, which constitute a particular technology. Semantic clusters are formed by grouping patent documents with the same PROBLEM or SOLUTION tag. A language modelling approach to information retrieval is extended to consider the semantically oriented clusters as well as document models. Our retrieval evaluation of the proposed approach using a collection of United States patent documents shows a 22% improvement over the baseline, a smoothed language modelling approach without using the semantic annotations.

Baseball cards represent the most valuable and popular segment in the market of sports cards and memorabilia. In the past few months alone, the most expensive record for baseball cards has changed twice. The top baseball card is the 1952 Topps #311 Mantle card, which sold for a whopping 12.6M USD earlier this year at an auction. So this card is currently considered among the most expensive sports memorabilia. Experts think that the #311 card is one of the few cards still available in outstanding condition. However, it is essential to mention that this particular card was not even released in Mickey Mantle’s rookie year but in the year when Topps started making its annual baseball card sets.
This particular card was bought for $50,000 in 1991, and before the majestic sale this year, another card version was sold for 5.2M last year. Next in line, we have the Honus Wagner card – notably, the 1909 T-206 Wagner card. This is a card produced by the American Tobacco Company, and it just keeps getting more and more expensive. Last year, the Honus Wagner card sold for 6.6M USD; later the same month, it sold for 7.25M USD. As you can quickly note, its market value jumped considerably within a brief period of time.
Next in line is the 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth card selling for $4.212 million, and the 2009 Bowman Draft Mike Trout card for $3.936 million. Then, there is a 1955 Topps Roberto Clemente card which sold for $1.107 Million, and the 2011 Topps Mike Trout selling for $1.05 million. Will the value of these cards skyrocket even more? That’s almost for sure.
So if you are interested in selling baseball cards pa, you should definitely check American Legends. This is the most trustworthy resource if you want to sell your precious sports cards. On their website, you will find plenty of high-value sports cards and memorabilia resources. The company will appraise your cards and offer a fair price for the hem.

Understanding Emotions. Lesson 1 PT 1
God’s Word is the key God has given to man to understand himself. As we turn to God’s Word in order to understand emotions, we will not find emotions treated as a separate subject. The Bible isn’t written that way. Rather, the Bible shares the unfolding story of God’s work with mankind, and the subject of emotions from God’s perspective is found intertwined throughout the pages of sacred script.
Indeed, one does not have to read far into the Genesis account until he senses the emotion of pleasure and satisfaction on God’s part as He examines His newly formed creation. Seven times in Genesis 1, God looked at what He had done, and calls it good. Likewise, in the story of mankind, one can almost sense the emotion of loneliness that Adam must have experienced after a day of naming the animals and not finding a help meet for him. We certainly identify the negative emotions of shame on the part of Adam and Eve when they heard the voice of God coming to meet them, and Cain’s anger as his sacrifice was rejected.
Emotions are a part of the human story. We all know what it is like to have a full range of feelings. We welcome some emotions such as joy or courage, and avoid others such as fear or guilt.
The dictionary says that emotions are “an affective state of consciousness in which joy, sorrow, fear, hate or the like is experienced, as distinguished from cognitive and volitional states of consciousness.” In more simple terms emotions are feelings in contrast to deliberate thoughts or decisions made by the will.
Each person faces the challenge of managing his emotions. From childhood to old age we have feelings, some times very powerful and seemingly out of control. In fact, at times it may seem that they have control over us.
Questions to ponder:
1.Where will we find God’s viewpoint on emotions?
2. How do our emotions differ from our thoughts?
3. How should the emotions of a grandparent be different from that of a child?
4. Since emotions are defined as not being a part of what we would deliberately choose, is that to mean we have no control over them?

The seven-passenger 2017 Pathfinder is offered in 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive configurations and a choice of four well-equipped grade levels: S, SV, SL and Platinum.
For 2017, the refreshed exterior goes even farther, adding a stronger sense of adventure, character and presence and continued fine-tuning of aero efficiency.
The updated appearance incorporates the latest Nissan signature design elements introduced on the award-winning Maxima sport sedan and Murano crossover – including the new “V-Motion” grille and boomerang-shaped headlights with LED daytime running lights. New LED headlights are standard on the Pathfinder Platinum grade.
Other exterior enhancements include a new, more aggressive hood, front bumper and fog lights. The outside rearview mirrors now include standard integrated turn signals. In the rear, changes include new taillights and a stronger bumper design.
In addition, aerodynamic optimization efforts include a new grille design, which enhances cooling performance and negates the need for an active grille shutter, and a new front chin spoiler design that has been moved forward and directs air downward – without compromising the approach angle for off-road driving. These changes help optimize air flow around and below the exterior, with the coefficient of drag reduced to 0.326 (from the previous 0.34).
Another significant addition for 2017 is the available Motion-Activated liftgate with liftgate position memory. A simple wave of the foot under the center of the liftgate activates the power opening function. It is standard on SL and Platinum grades.
Other exterior details include recessed front windshield wipers, roof rails, chrome door handles and privacy glass. An available Dual Panorama Moonroof is standard on the Platinum grade. It includes a sliding opening front panel and fixed rear glass panel, which extends over the 2nd and 3rd rows.
Also added for 2017 are 18-inch (S, SV and SL grades) and 20-inch (Platinum) machined aluminum-alloy wheel designs.
The biggest change, however, is the adoption of new-generation information technology. The standard Advanced Drive-AssistÔ Display (ADAD), located in the center of the instrument display between the tachometer and speedometer, features additional infotainment and driver assistance displays (versus the 2016 Pathfinder design). Voice recognition has been enhanced with a new HD microphone.
The standard 8.0-inch touch-screen monitor, mounted in the middle of the instrument panel, provides intuitive interaction and control of a variety of driver-selectable vehicle systems and settings – including the standard NissanConnectSM with Voice Recognition for audio, Bluetooth® and vehicle information.
In a major step up of its already highly capable adventure credentials, Pathfinder’s new 3.5-liter V6 engine features more power, torque and towing capacity. It utilizes more than 50 percent new or new-to-Pathfinder engine parts and components – including combustion chamber design, pistons, intake manifold and e-VTC (fully electronic on intake). The compression ratio has also been raised to 11.0:1 (from the previous 10.3:1).
Horsepower for the new V6 increases to 284 hp (from the previous 260 hp) and torque is now rated at 259 lb-ft (up from 240 lb-ft). And, while adding more horsepower and torque, Pathfinder fuel economy remains 20 mpg city, 27 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined (2WD models) (estimated).
All 2017 Pathfinder models are equipped with Nissan’s third-generation Xtronic transmission (similar to that utilized in the sporty Nissan Maxima). The Xtronic transmission includes D-Step Logic Control, which simulates shifts, giving a more natural acceleration feeling.

The Chroma 11022 and 11025 LCR Meters are passive component testers that give you the most cost effective alternative equivalent to other high priced meters. They are designed for the demanding applications of production test, incoming inspection, component design and evaluation. Programmable test signal level settings are from 10mV to 1V in steps of 10mV, and the VM/IM signal level monitor functions allow you to evaluate your devices at the level you specify. Ten test frequencies of 50Hz, 60Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, 1kHz, 10kHz, 20kHz, 40kHz, 50kHz, and 100kHz, can be used to evaluate passive components and transformers/ LF coils.
Other low cost LCR meters on the market have shortcomings when used for low impedance component evaluations, such as the large capacitance of electrolytic capacitors and low inductance of coils. As the 11022/11025 are equipped with high resolution (0.01mΩ) in low impedance, and high accuracy (0.3%) untill 100mΩ range, they can be used to evaluate low impedance components to meet measurement requirements.
The 11025 LCR Meter can also measure DC resistance, turn ratio and mutual inductance of transformers. It is suitable for pulse transformer or LF coil evaluation. Chroma’s Transformer Test Fixture used with the 11025, can measure both the primary and the secondary parameters automatically by changing the internal relays in the 11025. With this, there is no need to change the connections required for measuring transformer parameters. With an adjustable internal DC bias current source up to 200mA as a standard function, the 11025 is the right tool for inductance inspection of telecom transformers and small power chokes under DC bias current.
The 11022/11025 LCR Meters provide a powerful combination of features designed to maximize productivity in all testing environments. Measurement speed in the SHORT integration time mode is 15mS(≧100Hz). Handler interface, Pin-out, GPIB Interface, and IEEE 488 commands are compatible with 4263B.
Finally, the 11022/11025 have a built in comparator, 8 bin sorting, trigger delay functions, and handler interface trigger functions, making system integration easy, and improving measurement throughput as well as reliability.
