Classic Sneakers That Every Sneakerhead Needs In Their Closet (Part 2)
Last week, we started a list of some essential sneakers to own if you want to consider yourself a genuine Sneakerhead. Nike Air Max 1s, Converse All Star Chuck Taylors, and Nike Air Jordan 1s are all designs that made the list, and although there are thousands of sneaker designs and styles out there to choose from, there are only a select few that can be considered “classics.” Here are more sneakers that we think are staple pieces in any Sneakerhead’s collection.
The first version of this shoe was made with white leather and a green Adidas “moustache” tab,designed specifically for the number one tennis player in the world at the time, Robert Haillet, in 1963. It was rebranded in 1971 as the “Stan Smith” and would soon become one of the most recognizable silhouettes in shoe history. This shoe was also in the 1998 Guinness Book of World Records for selling 22 million pairs worldwide. By 2016, more than 50 million pairs of Stan Smith’s would be sold worldwide. This sneaker is still available in many stores today at an affordable price and have been spotted on multiple celebrities’ feet including A$AP Rocky and David Beckham. Stan Smith’s brought the spotlight to tennis footwear and will continue to be one of the easiest shoes to style for Sneakerheads.
PUMA Suedes were originally released in 1968 and have a comfortably stylish design in many color varieties. When the Clyde design was created after Walt “Clyde” Frazier, it became the first shoe ever to be named after a basketball player and was rumored to have sold 2 million pairs in its first year. The PUMA Suede also contains cultural importance as an essential part of early hip-hop and fashion. Olympian Tommie Smith wore a pair of Suedes on the podium at the 1968 Olympics after winning the gold medal in the 200-meter race. The PUMA Suedes are an iconic sportswear sneaker and belong in any sneaker collection.
Coming out as the second model ever to include the famous sidestripe logo, Vans created the Sk8-Hi in 1978. This signature skateboarder sneaker brought a new aesthetic to skate parks everywhere. Today, many skateboarders, BMXers, and Sneakerheads still prefer the Sk8-Hi.
This shoe was also the first high top skate shoe, opening many doors for the sneaker industry. Its simplicity and affordability earns the Sk8-Hi its place on the classic Sneakerhead list for 50 years later and counting!
If you consider yourself a true Sneakerhead, you need these styles and other classics in your collection. Although every collection is different, these shoes have made waves in the sneaker world for a reason and for that reason they deserve recognition.

WASHINGTON: Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has given assurance that the case of Shakil Afridi, the doctor who helped the CIA track down former Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, will be reviewed, a US news channel reported.
The assurance was given by the prime minister during his meeting with head of Foreign Affairs Committee of the US House of Representatives Ed Royce in Washington during his recent visit to the United States.
The channel reported that Ed Royce along with Robert Lorsch, who had launched a campaign to free Afridi, “heavily pressured” the Pakistani leadership about releasing the doctor and allowing him a life in the US.
It said that Lorsch and the lawmakers had brought so much pressure on Pakistani premier that he pledged a legal review of the Shakil Afridi case.
“This was first time that the leadership in Pakistan realised the importance of Dr Afridi not as a political bargaining tool but as a symbol of how freedom-loving American people regard Pakistan,” Lorsch said

Kae Pershon, who runs Cultivate’s Open Studio sessions, shares her thoughts and experiences on this bi-weekly event:
One of the most amazing aspects of the Cultivate Adult Open studio that I've noticed is the sense of community each session brings. On its surface, it may seem like a time for studious practice. When in reality, it is a place where we share in conversation and experiences while working on a variety of mediums, from oil painting to coloring pages. That's not to say there isn't a serious artist among us, quite the contrary, but skill level or medium don't hold much significance when you’re with
“A welcoming atmosphere is essential to create a safe, open environment for both creating and conversing. Those conversations are what I look forward to each week.”
As a natural introvert, it can be more than a bit daunting to sit at a table with a group of strangers. I never imagined the ease that came with getting to know so many amazing individuals. Some have become regulars while others are the occasional drop-in. All have been equally vital to that evening’s open studio.
One particular evening was fairly small, with folks dropping in to stay for a while before other obligations pulled them away. One group, a mother and daughter, stopped in about halfway through the evening. It was their first time at our Open Studio and the mom said she was just there to hang out with her daughter while she filled her sketchbook. We began chatting. She asked me about Cultivate, I asked her how she'd heard about us. We talked about art, her daughter's college ambitions, and she asked if I made my own work. I said yes and mentioned that my work revolves around my struggle with my ADHD and Autism. Her eyes widened as she exclaimed, "I have ADHD too!" The rest of the evening was filled with commiserating over the difficulties that it can cause in our everyday life to jokes about forgetfulness and inattention. Her daughter joined in as she sketched an incredible scene of a galaxy flowing from a coffee cup. Planets and asteroids were intermingled with steam and stardust, brightly colored and beautifully illustrated. Granted, not every Cultivate Open Studio involves a discussion of the inner workings of neurodivergence. Often its lighthearted jokes about living as an artist, discussions about how to remain creative when the world around us seems to consume every spare moment, or heartfelt encouragement that creating in any aspect makes you an artist, regardless of how you express it.
“At Open Studio, it's not about what we're making specifically, but that we are making.”
Ultimately, the Cultivate Adult Open Studio is whatever you'd like it to be. Whether that's joining a friend and chatting with others while they create, bringing a small sketchbook and doodling away the time, or working on your next commission, it's open for you to use however you need as a fun, encouraging space for all.
Artist Open Studio occurs on the second and Third Tuesday of every month from 6-8PM. Admission is free, and more can be found via our Facebook events, or by visiting our Gallery Events page : https://www.cultivategrandrapids.org/post/cultivating-your-creative-side-at-the-adult-open-studio-and-lab

Palm Bay Fire Rescue Extinguish Brush Fire Following Vehicle Crash at ‘The Compound’
By Space Coast Daily // March 19, 2022
no reported injuries to any citizens or firefighters
BREVARD COUNTY • PALM BAY, FLORIDA – Palm Bay Fire Rescue crews extinguish a brush fire caused by a vehicle crash at “The Compound” Saturday afternoon.
According to officials, the brush fire was caused by a vehicle that lost control and ended up catching the grass on fire. First responders were quick to put out the fire and keep it from growing.
There were no reported injuries to any citizens or firefighters, no houses were involved.
Located in the southwestern area of Palm Bay, the area known as “The Compound” is an undeveloped area of 2,784 acres. The area is a former General Development Corporation site, with development that began in the 1980s.
When GDC went bankrupt in 1991, development stalled and the land that makes up The Compound was liquidated. The Compound remains largely undeveloped aside from the roughly 200 miles of roadway installed by GDC. The City of Palm Bay owns the paved roadways.
The area known as The Compound is not zoned as a recreation area open to the public, and the area has been increasingly used, illegally, as a popular spot for recreational outdoor activities.
According to the City of Palm Bay, this misconception has led to an increase in illegal activity in the area.

Scarlett Johansson’s All Wrapped Up With Boyfriend In NYC [PHOTOS]
Just looking at these photos of Scarlett Johansson makes me feel cold.
Scarlett was spotted twice earlier today, wearing what looked like gym apparel along with a puffy down jacket.
Initially she was seen leaving her hotel with some orange juice in a to-go container, and then later on arriving back at her hotel with boyfriend Romain Dauriac after having some lunch. We haven’t seem much of Romain because she’s pretty much been able to keep this relationship on the down low, which is totally her thing.
Here’s a little bit of Scarlett trivia for you.
Back in 2006, when Andrew Lloyd Webber was casting for the role of ‘Maria’ in The Sound of Music during his 2006 How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?, he wanted Scarlett Johansson to star in the show.
“I wanted to star Scarlett Johansson,” he said. “It was all agreed — I wanted a girl show as the real age of Maria. Scarlett wanted to do it but wisely her agent said no, that she could not be in the London Palladium for nine months as she had a huge movie career.”
I could actually see Scarlett in the role of Maria. Share your thoughts on that in the comments below.

February 10, 2011 There is a lot of fear here in America. Some fear our government. Others fear governments in other places, the weather, the financial system, or loss of a job and then their house. Perhaps these are all things to keep an eye on, but even if they all happened, keep in mind that the government is our government; weather elements can be communicated with or prepared for; other governments can be worked with; money is something we have created and thus we can re-create it; and job or not, there is never a shortage of work to be done. At some point, we can always adopt some common sense and realize that we already live in the lap of Nature and a house just makes us more comfortable – and less in touch with Mother Nature – which is something we need to fix anyway. Having said that, we all know that transitions can be tough. However, the toughest thing of all, and the thing that is truly to be feared is our inability to work with one another, our inability to be compassionate, our failure to care for others, and our habit of living as if some creatures – both human and animal – are less important than we are. These inabilities are so deeply ingrained in us that we have never been able to do anything except keep up our efforts to get ahead of all those others. The result is that we are stalled in static thoughts and repetitive activities that take us nowhere. Those same repetitive thoughts and activities keep us alone and struggling to compete. We know this at a deep level, and it feeds an awful fear. To end our fears, we must answer a few questions:
- If we lose our job, our money, our house, or the rules put out by our government, are we alone in the world, homeless and starving?
- Or are we all committed to working with one another to make sure everyone has what they need?
- Have we done anything to show that we care what happens to others?

A Barry Sanders Moment...
"...Barry Sanders was a little guy, only 5’8”, but he was fast, he was light on his feet, he was alert, and he was supremely flexible. It didn’t matter that the forces arrayed against him were huge, heavy, and coming from every direction, all of them ready to pile on. Each of us is a little guy compared to the forces we now face. I think it’s time to decide if you’re going to be around long enough to help build a new civilization.

It is much easier to square a roof without the strength of the elements of the wall structure. Once the roof coating or roof steel is in place, it's much easier to drill into the corners of the building. With the roof in place and the walls open, a concrete slab can be installed if desired. Having the roof finished before the wall straps are placed helps protect the poured concrete from the elements, especially rain or heat in summer.
Premixed trucks can access and pass through any accessible side or end. This can negate the need to pay for a pump truck. In many cases, with the plans of the purchased house, the details of the construction of the roof are included, including the design of the beam. Building Design + Construction reported that “this alternative process for constructing tall concrete or steel buildings consists of a permanent movable roof, a roof lift mechanism, a protective enclosure and a high-capacity elevator.
The construction of roof structures is one of those carpenter skills that seems quite complicated and, in fact, some roof designs are difficult. Next, a protective metal and canvas cover is installed up to the parapet, which protects the construction site against inclement weather, while the roof lift mechanism allows the roof to move upwards as each floor is completed.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The typical operating range for your transmitter is approximately
. One of the following could cause a decrease in operating range:
- Weather conditions.
- Nearby radio towers.
- Structures around your vehicle.
- Other vehicles parked next to your vehicle.
The radio frequency used by your remote control can also be used by other short distance radio transmissions, for example amateur radios, medical equipment, wireless headphones, remote controls and alarm systems. If the frequencies are jammed, you may not be able to use your remote control. You can lock and unlock the doors with the key.
Make sure to lock your vehicle before leaving it unattended.
If you are in range, the remote control operates if you press any button unintentionally.
The remote control contains sensitive electrical components.Exposure to moisture or impact could cause permanent damage.
The system uses a radio frequency signal to communicate with your vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock when one of the following conditions are met:
- You touch the inside of the front exterior door handle.
- You press the luggage compartment button.
- You press a button on the remote control.
If excessive radio frequency interference is present in the area or if the remote control battery is low, you may need to mechanically unlock your door. You can use the mechanical key blade in your passive key to open the driver door in this situation. See

The Anatomy of Violence: The Biological Roots of Crime
by Adrian Raine (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
Dr. Raine's argument is basically in agreement with you and he provides a lot of explanation and evidence that is is a deeply biological, sexual behavior.
I might, somewhat agree, and I'm not even sure that most behavioral biologists, forensic psychiatrists or neuropsychiatrists would find your position all that controversial. That viewpoint that "rape is about power, not sex" was something I grew up hearing whenever the topic of rape came up--like an automatic response--and I have always wondered about its origin and it indeed left me with questions when I began to research criminal behavior and motivations in the 90s for some writing projects. It does get confusing when you are looking at the behavior of, say, sexually motivated serial killers because in a strange way it often does have to do with their relationships with their mothers, and it then does seem to circle back to being about power and (even moreso) control. But looking back at the biological roots of rape, at least according to behavioral scientists, it seems to have to do with a drive to reproduce the genes.
When we talk about a 'crime of opportunity', as you point out, it does lead to obvious questions: If it is about power and not sex, why is the perpetrator choosing to express his power sexually? It's not like there aren't dozens of other ways to express power and control. That is always why I had questions as a young person about the cliche'd response that rape is about power, not sex. It went against what I perceived to be common sense and it seemed like people were trying to avoid talking about sexual violence for what it is by tossing it in a bin with any other types of deeply interpersonal violence despite the fact those behaviors vary widely. I remember once asking someone who told me this, "Okay, but why rape?" and that person had no answer. I stopped asking and just began repeating what I was taught: "Rape is about power, not sex," but I have always wondered about it and turned to books by scientists and psychologists for deeper and more thoughtful answers.
As controversial as the issue is, it's not a hill I want to die on, but that is my two cents. I'll keep up with the latest scientific thinking on this.
One conclusion I've gradually come to is that maybe society has reached an unspoken consensus that it is important for us as to assert and believe this whether it is true or not because it serves some important function or larger purpose to culture and civilization.

FINANCIAL DISTRICT, Manhattan — Authorities launched a search for a man accused of slashing another man at a Lower Manhattan subway station Thursday morning.
It happened around 5 a.m. on the northbound No. 4 platform at the Fulton Street station.
Two men got into a dispute when one of them slashed the other in the left abdomen and arm, according to police.
The suspect, who was known to the victim, fled the scene, cops said. He was last seen wearing blue pants, a blue and black checkered shirt and had a cane.
This was the second reported slashing at a subway station in less than 24 hours.
A woman was slashed in an unprovoked attack in the Union Square subway station Wednesday night.
Police said she was waiting for a train on the southbound N, Q, R platform when a man suddenly slashed her in the arm and chest with a sharp object.
A 22-year-old man was taken into custody for the attack, cops said.
The slashings come amid a surge in violent crime in New York City’s subway system.
The MTA has continued to call on Mayor Bill de Blasio and the NYPD for more police assistance and resources for the transit system.
De Blasio on Monday said the NYPD would be deploying another 250 officers into the subways.
According to de Blasio, the city will continue to scale up resources for mental health outreach on streets and in subways. Some additional funding is included in the preliminary budget.

Review posted for Sony A55V! (UPDATED)|
Zig Weidelich, The Imaging Resource
(Tuesday, August 24, 2010 - 00:01 EDT)
Sony Electronics Inc. has today announced three new digital cameras featuring an innovative design, adopting what the company calls a "translucent mirror", commonly known as a pellicle mirror -- and we've just posted our Sony A55V review (also covering the Sony A55), as well as our Sony A33 Hands-on Preview.
The translucent mirror in the Alpha A55, A55V, and A33 remains fixed in place during operation, allowing most light to reach the imaging sensor, while a small portion is reflected to a dedicated autofocus sensor. This enables the most unique feature of Sony's SLT-series cameras -- full time, phase detection autofocus, even during movie capture! The Alpha A55V, A55, and A33 also have brand new Exmor APS HD CMOS image sensors and optimized BIONZ image processors, allowing an impressive burst shooting capability. The Sony Alpha SLT-A55V has the highest specification of the trio, with a 16-megapixel imager, and built-in GPS receiver. The Sony Alpha SLT-A55 drops the GPS receiver, but is otherwise identical, and we understand this model won't be available in the US market. Finally, the Sony Alpha SLT-A33 drops the GPS receiver, and also reduces the resolution just slightly to 14 megapixels, as well as having a slightly slower burst rate than its siblings. Read our Sony A55V Review and Sony A33 Hands-on Preview for all the details.
UPDATE 08/24/2010 18:30ET: We've added initial test results to our Sony A33 Hands-on Preview.

Zach’s Postseason Musings (10/21)

ALCS Game 3 – Royals @ Blue Jays
If anyone other than Josh Donaldson (2-for-4, HR, 3 RBI) wins the AL MVP, it would be shocking. The Blue Jays third baseman is fresh off a career year in which he led the AL in RBI and Runs and finished tied for 3rd in homers. Considering that he plays in a hitter-friendly park and will continue to benefit from a stacked supporting lineup, a strong case can be made for Donaldson as a top-5 pick in 2016 drafts.
Sure, it was in a losing effort, but let’s not overlook the solid job that Kris Medlen (5 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 K) did in relief of an ineffective Johnny Cueto. Following his mid-July return from Tommy John surgery, Medlen pitched to inconsistent results down the stretch. But this is a guy who won 15 games while posting a 3.11 ERA and 1.22 WHIP for the Braves back in 2013. After missing one and a half seasons, some rust was to be expected. Medlen figures to open the 2016 campaign in the Royals starting rotation, and as a late-round flier in mixed league drafts, he could deliver a nice profit.
NLCS Game 3 – Mets @ Cubs
Kyle Hendricks (4 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, ND) put up quality numbers in his first full big league season, especially at home (3.38 ERA, 1.08 WHIP). He wore down in the second half, however, registering a 4.44 ERA compared to a 3.55 ERA prior to the All-Star break. Hendricks is still only 25 years of age, so I’m expecting him to improve as he gains more big league experience. For now, think of him as a decent back end of the rotation starter in deeper mixed leagues.
Being that I already discussed each of the top performers from this game in earlier Musings posts, I might as well devote some space to Miguel Montero (0-for-3, K), who has just two hits in 20 at-bats this postseason. I had high hopes for Montero this year, viewing him as an acceptable No. 1 backstop in standard mixed leagues. And while he was a disappointment overall, batting a mediocre .248 and missing a portion of the season due to injury, 15 homers in 113 games is far from disappointing. I wouldn’t mind drafting Montero as my No. 2 catcher next year. He could perform more like a No. 1.
ALCS Game 4 – Royals @ Blue Jays
Ben Zobrist (2-for-5, HR, 2 RBI) is enjoying a stellar postseason, batting .361 with a homer, five RBI, five extra-base hits, nine runs scored and a stolen base through ten games. But despite this impressive showing, Zobrist’s fantasy appeal for 2016 will be mainly tied to his position versatility. Once an elite middle infield option, the 34-year-old is no longer producing enough counting stats to be worthy of a starting roster spot outside of deeper mixed leagues.
After a shaky April and May, R.A. Dickey (1 2/3 IP, 4 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 2 HR allowed, L) actually pitched extremely well in the second half, going 8-1 with a 2.80 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across 15 starts. But he’s still prone to the disaster outing, and you just never know when that disaster outing will come. On the other hand, when his knuckleball is working, he has the potential to dominate any lineup. For this reason, Dickey is tough to use as a matchup-based option. If you own him, you’re better off starting him every time. Personally, I’m passing on Dickey. I’d rather avoid the additional stress.

USD steady amid disappointing retail data
Tuesday 16 May, 2023
Daily Currency UpdateUS data releases showed a lower-than-expected growth in retail sales this month at 0.4%, this is half of the expected 0.8% growth by analysts. This core retail sales data excludes automobiles; however, auto sales also came in below market expectations at 0.4% versus the anticipated 0.5%. These lower sales numbers could be a potential indicator that the Federal Reserve will maintain its more dovish stance and ease off on interest rate hikes during their next meeting. The dollar index (DXY) currently sits at the 102.52 level, still in line with the growth seen over the last several days.
Key MoversReports out of the UK showed a higher-than-expected Claimant Count Change which totals the number of people claiming unemployment benefits. This release comes alongside the highest unemployment rate since January of 2022 at 3.9%. This pairing of unfavorable data indicates a weakening economy as unemployment rates rise.
The Eurozone reported GDP growth in-line with market expectations with a 0.1% increase. The German Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) Indicator of Economic Sentiment was much lower than market expectations at 14.8 points, down 10.7 points from the last release. The ZEW surveys German investors and analysts to predict confidence in the Eurozone economy, this lower reading depicts a declining confidence in the European economy.
The USD/CAD pair is down today after the release of hot inflation data out of Canada. Year-over-year inflation is at 4.4%, marketing the first move higher in annual inflation since June of 2022. This could be an indicator that the Bank of Canada (BoC) may need to push rates a bit higher, whereas the Fed seems to be moving more towards pumping the brakes on rate hikes. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil is up today by over half a percent at 71.61 a barrel, lending strength to the commodity-linked Loonie.

As states across the nation seek to gradually loosen the measures imposed to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus, Americans are becoming increasingly polarized over when to resume normal activities, according to a Gallup poll released on Thursday.
According to the poll, 21 percent of Americans say they want to return to normal “right now” and 36 percent say they would be willing to resume normal activity once the number of COVID-19 cases in their state declines. Thirty-one percent would be willing to go back to normalcy once there are no new cases in their state. Only 12 percent say they want to wait for a vaccine.
Notably, since early April, the percentage of those who want to return to normal day-to-day activities right now has increased eight points. The percentage of those who want to wait for a vaccine has gone up five points, which suggests that “each of the two absolutist camps has expanded” since earlier this month.
The poll suggests that Americans are divided along party lines. Forty-four percent of Republicans want to return to normal immediately, which marks a sharp increase of 19 percent since earlier this month. Among independent voters, 22 percent say they are ready to go back to their usual lives right away. Just 4 percent of those who identify with the Democratic Party wants to resume their normal activities right now.
Middle-aged Americans are much more willing to go back to regular activity right away than senior citizens and young adults. Twenty-nine percent of those aged 45 to 64 say they want such activities to resume immediately, but only 17 percent of young adults and 18 percent of seniors agree.
The survey also suggests that there is a divide between rural and urban America, with 28 percent of those in rural areas saying they want to resume normal social interactions. Only 15 percent of Americans living in urban areas say they want the same. Eighteen percent of suburbanites agree.
“Americans’ current feelings about when and how they are willing to return to their usual activities are speculative at the moment, as state and federal governments are still assessing the trajectories of the coronavirus outbreak.”
“Americans’ varied ideas about the timing of a return to normalcy illustrate the competing narratives emerging of caution versus immediacy, and the murkiness of which approach leaders and Americans themselves should emphasize,” Gallup added.
Those who would prefer to wait until there is a vaccine would have to wait at least seven months or so, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a key member of President Donald Trump‘s coronavirus task force, said on Thursday that a vaccine could be available in January.


ALROSA reports Q4 and 12M 2014 production results and preliminary sales results.
ALROSA’s Q4 2014 diamond production totalled 10.56 million carats, which is 8% higher compared to Q3 2014. The production increase was driven by the completion of planned maintenance at processing plants, which process ore from the International, Aikhal and Mir underground mines. The Company highlights the progress in key investment projects in Q4 2014:
- first 89 thousand tonnes of ore from the Udachny underground mine (commissioned earlier in 2014) were processed, diamond production totalled 114 thousand carats,
- first 516 thousand tonnes of ore from the Karpinskogo-1 pipe of the Lomonosov deposit (under development by Severalmaz) were processed, diamond production totalled 266 thousand carats.
In 2014 diamond production totalled 36.21 million carats and exceeded the Company’s initial plan by 210 thousand carats.
Preliminary sales results
According to preliminary data, in 2014 ALROSA sold 39.57 million carats of diamonds, including 27.74 million carats of gem-quality diamonds at an average price of $171 per carat, and 11.83 million carats of industrial diamonds at an average price of $12 per carat. Revenue from diamond sales in 2014 reached no less than $5.05 billion, including revenue from rough diamond sales - no less than $4.90 billion.
In Q4 2014, ALROSA sold 10.79 million carats of diamonds, including 6.85 million carats of gem-quality diamonds at an average price of $161 per carat, and 3.94 million carats of industrial diamonds at an average price of $11 per carat.
The Company notes ALROSA’s rough diamond prices going up by around 7% since the beginning of the year.
In 2015, the Company plans its diamond production to be at the level of 38 million carats, diamond sales at the level of 40 million carats, including sales of inventories of around 2 million carats.
The Company expects moderate growth of the diamond market in 2015 driven by positive macroeconomic indicators dynamic in major diamond jewellery consuming countries.
The full version of ALROSA’s Q4 and 12M 2014 operational overview is available on ALROSA’s website in the “Operational results” section.

He asked and then demanded that the 200 or so chairs in the middle of the auditorium be rearranged. This required summoning the fire marshal (as the aisle was a matter of code) who insisted that no changes could be made. Brand held his ground. Event planners gathered around him trying to talk him down. Even if it weren’t for the fire code, moving the chairs at this point would have to be done by union workers and would take time. The audience was waiting outside baking in the sun, Hoess, Wanderlust’s CEO, reminded Brand. But he was insistent. I sensed he was willing to threaten to not go on at all when the organizers finally broke down and agreed to move the chairs.
Diabetes is a whole-body problem. The disease is marked by too high blood glucose, which affects the many cells fed by the circulatory system. The cells of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and the nerves that control its movement are no exception. People with diabetes have an elevated risk for a spectrum of GI disorders that can make life uncomfortable. Identifying the cause of GI discomfort is the first step toward getting the right treatment and finding relief.
In countries using a general practitioner system, such as the United Kingdom, care may take place mainly outside hospitals, with hospital-based specialist care used only in case of complications, difficult blood sugar control, or research projects. In other circumstances, general practitioners and specialists share care in a team approach. Home telehealth support can be an effective management technique.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). Your doctor may prescribe this therapy, which can help prevent pain signals from reaching your brain. TENS delivers tiny electrical impulses to specific nerve pathways through small electrodes placed on your skin. Although safe and painless, TENS doesn't work for everyone or for all types of pain.
What’s more, according to an October 2017 survey commissioned by John Hancock (an investment, financial services, and life insurance company), nearly half of people with diabetes worry that they won’t qualify for life insurance and 45 percent assume it’s too expensive. “It’s always on your mind, so you can become preoccupied and then overgeneralize your thoughts,” Bereolos says.
Diabetes Relief provides the gold standard for diabetes care by employing its patent-pending protocol using FDA-approved drugs and devices that are covered and recognized by most insurance providers. Upon receipt of approval from Diabetes Relief, physicians can apply for affiliation to become a licensed Diabetes Healthcare Center. Assistance with all aspects of build-out of the care facility and hiring and training staff is provided to approved practices.
Though the Oxford English Dictionary traces wellness (meaning the opposite of illness) to the 1650s, the story of the wellness movement really begins in the 1950s. New approaches to healthful living were emerging then, inspired in part by the preamble to the World Health Organization’s 1948 constitution: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Halbert L. Dunn, chief of the National Office of Vital Statistics, was looking for new terminology to convey the positive aspects of health that people could achieve, beyond simply avoiding sickness. In a series of papers and lectures in the late ’50s, Dunn sketched out his concept of “high-level wellness,” defined as “an integrated method of functioning, which is oriented toward maximizing the potential of which the individual is capable.”

Triglycerides are a common form of fat that we digest. Triglycerides are the main ingredient in animal fats and vegetable oils. Elevated levels of triglycerides are a risk factor for heart disease, heart attack, stroke, fatty liver disease, and pancreatitis. Elevated levels of triglycerides are also associated with diseases like diabetes, kidney disease, and medications (for example, diuretics, birth control pills, and beta blockers). Dietary changes, and medication if necessary can help lower triglyceride blood levels.
After breaking this down, Brand took questions from the audience. The first was from a person in the third row who said her brother is an addict who keeps coming to her for money. What should she do? Brand moved to the very front of the stage and looked into the back of her eyes and told her she knows what she has to do—which is cut him off, let him hit rock bottom. She said, yes, she knows, and she cried.
Off-label drug use means that a drug that’s been approved by the FDA for one purpose is used for a different purpose that it has not been approved for. However, a doctor can still use the drug for that purpose. The FDA regulates the testing and approval of drugs, but not how doctors use drugs to treat their patients. Therefore, your doctor can prescribe a drug however they think is best for your care.

For her part, St Clair thought she was inquiring about a technical glitch. Her brother—the brother who along with three other siblings had gifted her the DNA test for her birthday—wasn’t showing up right in her family tree. It was not a glitch, the woman on the line had to explain gently, if this news can ever land gently: The man St Clair thought of as her brother only shared enough DNA with her to be a half-sibling. In fact, she didn’t match any family members on her father’s side. Her biological father must be someone else.
While there is a strong genetic component to developing this form of diabetes, there are other risk factors - the most significant of which is obesity. There is a direct relationship between the degree of obesity and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and this holds true in children as well as adults. It is estimated that the chance to develop diabetes doubles for every 20% increase over desirable body weight.
Type 2 diabetes, a form of diabetes mellitus, is likely one of the better-known chronic diseases in the world — and that's no surprise. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest in the United States alone, 30.3 million people, or 9.4 percent of the U.S. population, has diabetes, and the majority of these people have type 2. (1)
Home blood sugar (glucose) testing is an important part of controlling blood sugar. One important goal of diabetes treatment is to keep the blood glucose levels near the normal range of 70 to 120 mg/dl before meals and under 140 mg/dl at two hours after eating. Blood glucose levels are usually tested before and after meals, and at bedtime. The blood sugar level is typically determined by pricking a fingertip with a lancing device and applying the blood to a glucose meter, which reads the value. There are many meters on the market, for example, Accu-Check Advantage, One Touch Ultra, Sure Step and Freestyle. Each meter has its own advantages and disadvantages (some use less blood, some have a larger digital readout, some take a shorter time to give you results, etc.). The test results are then used to help patients make adjustments in medications, diets, and physical activities.
A 2017 article in the journal Diabetes Care explains that the goals for dietary change should be “healthful eating patterns emphasizing a variety of nutrient-dense foods in appropriate portion sizes.” Additional goals include achieving a healthy weight; attaining healthy blood sugar, blood pressure, and lipid levels; and reducing complications. The authors emphasize developing an individualized plan based on “personal and cultural preferences, health literacy and numeracy, access to healthful foods, willingness and ability to make behavioral changes, and barriers to change.”
Finding relief starts with contacting a Diabetes Relief center and scheduling a consultation. Whether you have Type 1, Type 2, or are pre-diabetic, their medical team can tailor a customized approach for you. Their treatments have helped save patients from uncontrolled blood sugar levels and even future amputations of toes and feet. And because patients report increased energy after treatment, they are more compliant with diet and exercise than they have been in years.

Anti-seizure drugs. Some medications used to treat seizure disorders (epilepsy) are also used to ease nerve pain. The American Diabetes Association recommends starting with pregabalin (Lyrica). Others that have been used to treat neuropathy are gabapentin (Gralise, Neurontin) and carbamazepine (Carbatrol, Tegretol). Side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness and swelling.
Each month, ASDA issues a Wellness Challenge that asks you to change your behavior in a way that will positively affect your wellness. Each challenge varies in length and activity, but the goal is the same: to get you paying more attention to your well-being and developing good wellness habits.

"There have been cases where patients were treated with insulin for years until they discovered it was a rare genetic variant" of MODY, Roep told Live Science. Those people are no longer diagnosed as having type 1 diabetes, and they may be able to manage their blood sugar levels with either oral drugs or diet and exercise changes, "but that would not be the same as being cured," Roep said.
Sex is a good pain reliever, and orgasm is more powerful than almost any drug in relieving pain. Rutgers University professor and sex researcher Beverly Whipple, PhD, found that when women had orgasms, their pain “thresholds” went up by more than 108%. In other words, things that usually hurt them no longer had an effect. She believes men have similar responses, though she’s only studied women. The pain-reducing effect seems to last for hours.
The prevalence of prediabetes is also on the rise, as it’s estimated that almost 34 million U.S. adults were prediabetic in 2015. People with prediabetes have blood glucose levels that are above normal but below the defined threshold of diabetes. Without proper intervention, people with prediabetes are very likely to become type 2 diabetics within a decade.
How does high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) feel? To maintain the right amount of blood sugar, the body needs insulin, a hormone that delivers this sugar to the cells. When insulin is lacking, blood sugar builds up. We describe symptoms of high blood sugar, including fatigue, weight loss, and frequent urination. Learn who is at risk and when to see a doctor here.

University of Utah electrical and computer engineering associate professor Rajesh Menon and his team have developed a cloaking device for microscopic photonic integrated devices — the building blocks of photonic computer chips that run on light instead of electrical current — in an effort to make future chips smaller, faster and consume much less power.
Menon’s discovery was published online Wednesday in the latest edition of the science journal, Nature Communications. The paper was co-written by University of Utah doctoral student Bing Shen and Randy Polson, senior optical engineer in the U’s Utah Nanofab.
The future of computers, data centers and mobile devices will involve photonic chips in which data is shuttled around and processed as light photons instead of electrons. The advantages of photonic chips over today’s silicon-based chips are they will be much faster and consume less power and therefore give off less heat. And inside each chip are potentially billions of photonic devices, each with a specific function in much the same way that billions of transistors have different functions inside today’s silicon chips. For example, one group of devices would perform calculations, another would perform certain processing, and so on.
The problem, however, is if two of these photonic devices are too close to each other, they will not work because the light leakage between them will cause “crosstalk” much like radio interference. If they are spaced far apart to solve this problem, you end up with a chip that is much too large.
So Menon and his team discovered you can put a special nanopatterened silicon-based barrier in between two of the photonic devices, which acts like a “cloak” and tricks one device from not seeing the other.
“The principle we are using is similar to that of the Harry Potter invisibility cloak,” Menon says.

Some democracies are highly homogeneous. Others have long maintained a brutal racial or religious hierarchy, with some groups dominating and exploiting others. Never in history has a democracy succeeded in being both diverse and equal, treating members of many different ethnic or religious groups fairly. And yet achieving that goal is now central to the democratic project in countries around the world. It is, Yascha Mounk argues, the greatest experiment of our time.
This vision of progress juxtaposes oddly with the first part of the book, which describes how previous attempts at diverse democracy all apparently devolved into petty and violent wreckage ... For the many social scientists who have been studying diversity and democracy for decades, the claim that we are undertaking a 'disorienting transformation' that is 'without precedent' may seem odd ... In such a widening gyre, Mounk’s calm mix of storytelling, political theory and social psychology exegesis, peppered with some charming insights, has a comforting seriousness...Yet for a book that is supposedly about 'diverse democracies,' the actual institutions of democracy — elections, political parties and above all, power — are surprisingly peripheral ... In his more noble theorizing, Mounk grasps the key point that our best hope involves getting past the simplistic majority-minority dichotomy that dominates so much of the discourse. We should embrace complexity and avoid essentialism. But the big question remains: How?
The Great Experiment promises to show us 'how to make diverse democracies work', but contains very few actual policy proposals. For the most part it’s a mishmash of general principles, political truisms and syrupy platitudes, delivered in a register somewhere between a TED talk and an undergraduate dissertation. Mounk draws on social psychology to tell us what we already know ... These underwhelming insights are interspersed with snippets of recent world history...to remind us of what is at stake. Mounk also delves further into the past, sometimes to bizarre effect ... This brings us to the central paradox at the heart of The Great Experiment. Mounk is broadly in favour of diversity and has no quarrel with it; he knows that, notwithstanding the gains made by populist politicians in many western nations in recent years, the status quo is not under imminent threat and, despite some friction here and there, the social fabric is bearing up. But in order to position his book as an urgent and relevant intervention, he has to play up the scale of demographic change and its potential impact on social cohesion in the longer run ... In fairness, he does make some good observations along the way. He stresses the importance of protecting members of tight-knit religious communities from coercion within their group, and advocates cultivating a progressive civic patriotism in order to undercut the appeal of ethnic nationalism ... The defining feature of The Great Experiment is its vagueness ... Who is this book for? Why does it exist? A first-year politics student or Blue Labour thinktanker might conceivably find some use for it, but it has little to offer the informed reader.
... [an] academic treatise that may actually have influence in the arena of practical politics ... passionate and personal ... accessible ... Mounk comes to a more inspiring and unexpected conclusion: He makes the case for optimism.

The Taper Mount Direct Thread Adaptor provides a direct thread interface for taper mounted suppressors. Two sets of wrench flats make it equally simple to attach or remove from the suppressor or your firearm's muzzle threads. No proprietary tools required. Available in 1/2x28 and 5/8x24 with 18x1mm Tikka/Sako support coming soon. While it is convenient to have direct thread suppressor capability that can move from host to host without the need for additional muzzle devices, it is important to remember that each host firearm must be checked for baffle alignment via visual inspection before firing. The 1/2x28 Insert can be used with cartridges up to 30 caliber and the 5/8x24 can be used up to .338 caliber. The use of direct thread adaptors improves on direct thread mounted suppressors, by allowing the end user to have modular thread pitches.

Billy Porter shuts down bigots calling drag ‘perverse’ with new show Accused: ‘Drag is art’
Billy Porter’s latest project is all about showing drag queens respect and setting the record straight.
Billy Porter has directed an episode of Fox’s new true-crime anthology Accused, with his instalment focusing on a drag performer who finds herself in court after an affair with a closeted married man goes sour.
The series is adapted from the 2010 British drama of the same name, with the original version of Porter’s episode starring Sean Bean as a cross-dressing character.
“The version of the British series is embarrassing,” Porter told USA Today. “It’s everything that we hate as queer people: Straight people telling our story.”
Billy Porter’s Accused episode stars non-binary actor J. Harrison Ghee as Kevin, a Bostonian who shines as his drag queen persona Robyn Blind.
Porter said it was important it was for him, as the director of “Robyn’s Story”, to “tell a story about our underserved community with truth and authenticity” and to give drag the respect it deserves.

He added: “It was about making sure that the drag entertainer was respected and highly regarded and elevated. I fought to make sure the music used was authentic, that her choreography was on point and that she looked stunningly beautiful.
The episode comes amid a rising wave of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation being introduced in the USA, including a bill in Tennessee that could ban “male and female impersonators” from performing “on public property” or where they could be seen by children.
On the topic, Porter added: “Drag is a performance art form. Drag is not perverse. A man putting on a dress does not mean we’re coming to molest your children. So stop that. Stop that. It’s performance art. Period.”
In “Robyn’s Story”, J. Harrison Ghee’s character keeps their two personalities distinctly separate – something with which the star identified.
“My drag career got started very similarly. I truly did keep everything separate,” Ghee told USA Today. “I grew up in North Carolina. My father’s a pastor and I didn’t want to be pigeonholed as a drag queen. That journey and that connection was very close to home.”

No respondents in a Gulf Intelligence Survey believe that EOR will continue to use fossil energy, and a total of 83% of Gulf region envision solar thermal steam like Glasspoint Solar’s Oman PDO Miraah and Bakersfield, California Aera solar EOR projects will be the norm for EOR within just three years
The deployment of renewable solar energy in the recovery of crude oil from difficult reservoirs will take up to three years to become a normal part of a growing toolkit of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques, according to 50% of respondents in a Gulf Intelligence GIQ Industry Survey.
So far, the most common EOR method deployed today is thermal EOR. This process injects steam into the ground so that oil operators can heat the rock formations surrounding the reservoir to reduce the oil’s viscosity and facilitate extraction. To produce the steam necessary for EOR, oil companies burn enormous quantities of natural gas, which is a scarce and expensive commodity in many countries in the region.
Solar powered thermal enhanced oil recovery could evolve as a technology quicker than previously thought and become a highly desired innovation within a year, according to 33% of Survey respondents. However, 17% of those polled remain quite cynical of Solar EOR’s potential and stated it would only deployed after 5 years as a last resort.
“The GCC EOR market is forecasted to show the highest growth rate globally based on the growing number of aging oil reserves that exist across the region,” said Sean Evers, Managing Partner, Gulf Intelligence and Chairman of the Workshop. “As the era of easily accessible crude oil is coming to an end, Middle East oil and gas producers are now focusing on developing unconventional resources to maintain current production output and meet the increasing demand for energy,” he said.
The global oil and gas industry consumes an amount of energy equal to 10% of its own output in the exploration and production process, making it one of the biggest markets for renewable energy. In geographies where natural gas is scarce, like Oman, UAE, and Kuwait, burning gas for EOR means less gas for power generation, industrial development or export.
“There are a growing number of regional success stories in the use of thermal, chemical and gas EOR technologies. However, the opportunity for research, development, and deployment of new EOR technologies is very high given the continued advances we’re seeing in reservoir characterization and modeling and technology platforms that include renewable energy and advanced materials.” Said Dr. Steve Griffiths, interim Executive Vice President for Research, Khalifa University of Science and Technology.
The global EOR Market is expected to reach $140 billion by 2024, analysts reported.
The majority of the world’s daily oil production today comes from mature or maturing fields with EOR viewed as one viable solution to extracting more value. Long-term forecasts of increased energy demand in emerging economies are increasingly challenging maturing oil fields in the region – moving Gulf EOR players away from the legacy approach of working in silos towards a more collaborative one, should improve the commercial viability of realizing such initiatives.

“I don’t watch too many movies. I used to watch them a lot when I was a little kid before I could get my hands on any porn, because back then if I wanted to see a really hot girl my best bet was to watch a movie.” –Jon, “Don Jon”
“Transformers: Dark Side of The Moon” may have received poor reviews, but with a worldwide box office gross of over one billion dollars, it was clear that a sequel would probably happen. June 27 will usher in “Transformers: Age of Extinction” Michael Bay’s fourth transformers film. Nicola Peltz has been employed as the eye candy for this fourth installment, which is what leads me to the topic of this post.
With the first three films, numerous horny fanboys took to online forums or Youtube to assert their masculinity and express their intent to see the film in order to get a chance to see Megan Fox or Rosie- Huntington Whitely in their big screen glory. With the Avengers, the same was true for Scarlett Johansson. The examples continue. Nicola Peltz will be the third actress to contribute to the terrible acting the films are criticized for. After seeing Peltz in “The Last Airbender” and in “Bates Motel (where she is a weak link” I will avoid this fourth installment with a ten-foot pole.
I have indicated in my videos that although I can enjoy a beautiful woman on screen, eye candy is never my main or sole motivation for seeing a movie. I abhor the men and women whose only motivation for seeing a film is to drool over a physical specimen in the film. I do not mean that they admire the actor or actress’s talent, as well as their looks. I mean they could not care less about such trivial or geeky things, and watch a film simply to catch a glimpse of a six-pack or sideboob. Despite my admiration for Scarlett Johansson’s beauty and curves, I would never pay to see a film simply for a chance to ogle her.
As a twenty two year old male, I understand such urges. However, I also realize that there are other avenues for seeing attractive people, such as real life or various websites where I can see people do more than lean over a car engine for free. The sheep who will pay to see a movie only to drool over their supposed husband or wife, are acting as if watching the movie is the only way they will ever see a hot girl.
Some may argue that the example of Peltz is irrelevant, since TF4 is bound to be a film for mindless entertainment anyway. Why criticize one actor when there is so much more wrong with the film? Fair enough, let’s take another example.:The inclusion of the Hannah in Dexter. I do not want to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen the seventh season, but the character’s inclusion leads to an idiotic and polarizing turn of events in the show. On one side, we had rationale fans that criticized the writing’s and how it undermined most of the things that were established in the previous six seasons. On the other side we had drooling fanboys who liked the character since she provided eye candy. Dexter is not the place for eye candy; it is a show about a serial killer. The trend of casting hot actors or actresses in roles that are not suited for them will sadly continue as long as sheep keep spending money with their primitive idea that it is only natural to pathetically pine for people they will never meet.

It’s been a few days since I launched my latest book (whee!), and now it’s time to figure out which way to proceed next.
It’s taken me a while to figure out my writing rhythm, but I’ve learned that for me, fresh eyes are required for quality editing or the words just become shapes. I find I work quite well jumping from one project to another, which allows me to approach an ongoing story with a renewed interest, sort of like a palate cleanser.
I have a basic plot for the sequel of The Mage just in time for NaNoWriMo and in between, I have a steampunk fantasy novella series lurking in the background that could use more editing. So that’s my schedule figured out!
It’s been over a year, but I’m happy to announce my new book release!
This is the first in the new Sera Kishao series called The Mage. Check it out and let me know what you think!
Being a Mage means a life of power and magick and prestige. It is not one that Sera Kishao asked for.
Sera’s reputation as a Mage in Eldrea is controversial at best. She doesn’t have the right background or the right attitude, and she’s partnered to the top Mage in the Coven, which mean she’s constantly in the spotlight. So that kind of sucks too. But Sera is good at squaring off against the Clowder, a group of cat shapeshifters who have risen up to become the Coven’s number one thorn-in-the-side, without disrupting their precarious balance. Only that seems to be blown out of the water when a dead Wiccan is discovered with claw marks.
Sera is immediately suspicious about the clumsiness of the situation and launches an investigation that sends her around Eldrea, gathering threads to come up with a noose that may end up tightening around the Coven instead.
