title: Future fisherman foundation the stables school and central kentucky riding for hope team up for training

text:
PONCA CITY OK, (April 30, 2013) — The Future Fisherman Foundation (F3) and The Stables School will team up for an exciting Hooked on Fishing Not on Drugs training seminar on Thursday, May 2, at Central Kentucky Riding for Hope at the legendary Kentucky Horse Park where the school is located.
Both students and faculty members will participate in this event, with the beautiful setting of the Kentucky Horse Park and its many lakes and ponds in the background. The facility eventually will be able to offer students’ immediate access to multiple fishing opportunities as the school eventually plans to grow its fishing program into a student club.
“We are very excited to bring this new curriculum and everything the Hooked on Fishing Not on Drugs program has to offer,” said Stables School Academic Dean Brian McIntyre. “We have a terrific setting here, and we want to take advantage of giving our students a very well-rounded educational experience.”
“Opportunities like this don’t come along very often,” added F3 Director Mark Gintert. “The Stables School is an incredible place to give students a terrific outdoor educational experience, and they literally can be out of the classroom and fishing in less than five minutes. I want to compliment Dean McIntyre and his staff for having the foresight to take advantage of the natural settings they have and giving their students this experience.
“The training is being funded by private donations that have come into the Foundation, as well as the profits generated through several fundraising programs we put in place during the past year,” continued Gintert. “Every little bit helps, and we are always looking for assistance to be able to create opportunities like this.”

Introducing the Dr. Glamogenic Dynamic Brightening Mask |
Dr. Glamogenic | Dynamic Brightening Mask
The Dynamic Brightening Mask claims to contain hydrating ingredients which would plump the skin while improving skin radiance appearance. It also claims to contain moisture that will keep your skin moisture level well balanced to give your skin a younger look. Each box of the Dr. Glamogenic Dynamic Brightening Mask contains 5 individual sheets soaked in 22g of brightening essence. The reason behind dull skin is usually due to building up of dead skin cells on our skin surface, which clogs the pores and prevent them from breathing. So be sure to cleanse well and mask ocassionally to ensure that your skin looks well taken care of.There are 5 pieces of individually wrapped sheets in each box |
Since this is my first time trying this mask on, I love how they include special features on the mask on each pack. Going into more details of the product, it had a really creamy texture which is also very moisturizing at the same time. I unfolded the mask and placed it on my face and realized that its a perfect fit for Asian sized faces. Sometimes mask can be pretty annoying when it's too large, but there's something about the texture of the mask that makes the mask pretty sturdy and doesn't stretch out when applied to the face.Here's my little review on the Dynamic Brightening Mask by Dr. Glamogenic |
The sheet is super moisturized in creamy essence |
The sheet has a very strong non-stretchy texture |
Fits nicely on Asian sized faces |
Leave on for 15-20 minutes |
In case you're wondering the benefits of this mask other than just brightening, it also contains exfoliating ingredients to unveil softer skin. It is also totally safe as its made with natural ingredients and essential oils, thus brightening the skin internally while restoring your natural radiance. After removing the mask, I did notice that my skin was more bouncy and moisturized too!
As a verdict, despite being my first time hearing about the brand coming into Malaysia, im pretty impressed that it beats your average drugstore mask. Im not sure if its cause it contains natural ingredients, or cause the essence is creamy, but it works for my skin, so I have nothing bad to say about the mask I tried. Usually, im not a fan of brightening mask cause the common ones can be a little too drying for my skin, but this had like a 3-in-1 benefit for me as it brightens, exfoliates and moisturizes my skin. What more can you really ask for from a mask? Im pretty happy that it does justice, and I hope it would be more available in our local pharmacies or drugstore.
Comfortable texture and does not agitate the skin. |
Before and After results where skin looks more enhanced and moisturised |

title: Dear life

text:
For the play »親愛的人生« (»Dear Life«), director Wang Chia-ming has adapted short stories from the book of the same name by Canadian Nobel Prize-winning author Alice Munro and moved them to contemporary Taipei. In the book, Munro writes about characters at a turning point in life. In simple, everyday settings, the female protagonists of her stories experience great dramas in the intermediate space between what is explicitly said and what remains unspoken; they are faced with loss, grief, pain, longing and love. In his production, Wang Chia-ming transposes these stories and their heroines to the reality of Taiwan. Munro’s characters now live in different boroughs of present-day Taipei and, as neighbours who don’t know each other, encounter each other in four separate but interwoven stories. »When I listen to people talking about my work, I always notice that I seem to be very interested in questions of identity. That may be due to the fact that people from highly diverse social backgrounds and contexts live together on this island,« says Wang Chia-ming about his theatre and his home island of Taiwan. »What always interests me in theatre is perception: How is one and the same reality seen from different perspectives?« In »親愛的 人生« (»Dear Life«), he uses Munro’s texts to reveal a personal, polyphonic and affectionate portrait of the various people and the major city of Taipei.
The Shakespeare’s Wild Sisters Group was founded in Taiwan in the summer of 1995. In changing constellations, the theatre group has since explored forms of collective authorship: text, direction, stage and costume design are combined under the influence of different art forms to create constantly new modes of theatrical expression. At the centre of their plays are texts that have been newly written or, as in the case of Munro’s short stories, substantially adapted for the stage. Wang Chia- ming is one of the founding members of the group and merges traditional Eastern influences with Western art and pop culture in his productions. His work has twice received the Taishin Arts Award. Productions by the Shakespeare’s Wild Sisters Group have made guest appearances in Hong Kong, Macau, Beijing, Shanghai, Busan, Tokyo, Singapore, Kobe, Paris and New York. This is the first time they can be seen in Germany with one of their larger-scale productions.

title: Dominion sues former trump attorney sidney powell for defamation

text:
On January 8th, Dominion Voting Systems filed a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell.
Filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the suit alleges that during a press conference, a rally, and media appearances, Powell “falsely claimed that Dominion had rigged the election, that Dominion was created in Venezuela to rig elections for Hugo Chavez, and that Dominion bribed Georgia officials for a no-bid contract.”
The 124-page complaint accuses Powell of “wild” and “demonstrably false” allegations, and Dominion says that it has “mountains of direct evidence” that disproves Powells’ claims that Dominion engaged in voter manipulation.
This is not the first time Dominion has sued for defamation over the 2020 presidential election. On December 22nd, Eric Coomer, the Director of Product Strategy and Security for Dominion Voting Systems, filed a suit against President Donald Trump’s campaign, podcast host Joseph Oltmann, Trump’s personal lawyers Rudy Guiliani and Sidney Powell, conservative news outlets One American News Network (OANN) and Newsmax, and others, for defamation and inflicting emotional distress.
And Smartmatic, another voting technology company that has also been falsely accused of voter manipulation, sent letters in December to conservative news organizations Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN threatening legal action if their reporters and anchors didn’t retract their false statements.
In response, Fox News anchors Lou Dobbs and Maria Bartiromo aired a Smartmatic video debunking election conspiracies during their broadcasts. Newsmax posted a statement on its website on December 20th, and the next day an on-air anchor read a two-minute long “clarification” debunking its election conspiracy theories. As of press time, OANN had not yet responded to Smartmatic’s request.

title: Wisdom teeth extractions

text:
Third molars, commonly referred to as wisdom teeth, are usually the last four of 32 teeth to erupt (surface) in the mouth, generally making their appearance between the ages of 17 to 25. They are located at the back of the mouth (top and bottom), near the entrance to the throat. The term “wisdom” stems from the idea that the molars surface at a time typically associated with increased maturity or “wisdom”.
In most cases, inadequate space in the mouth does not allow the wisdom teeth to erupt properly and become fully functional. When this happens, the tooth can become impacted (stuck) in an undesirable or potentially harmful position. If left untreated, impacted wisdom teeth can contribute to infection, damage to other teeth, and possibly cysts or tumors.
There are several types, or degrees, of impaction based on the actual depth of the teeth within the jaw:
Soft Tissue Impaction: The upper portion of the tooth (the crown) has penetrated through the bone, but the gingiva (gum) is covering part or all of the tooth’s crown and has not positioned properly around the tooth. Because it is difficult to keep the area clean, food can become trapped below the gum and cause an infection and/or tooth decay, resulting in pain and swelling.
Partial Bony Impaction: The tooth has partially erupted, but a portion of the crown remains submerged below the gum and surrounding jawbone. Again, because it is difficult to keep the area clean, infection will commonly occur.
Complete Bony Impaction: The tooth is completely encased by jawbone. This will require more complex removal techniques.
Reasons to remove wisdom teeth
While not all wisdom teeth require removal, wisdom teeth extractions are most often performed because of an active problem such as pain, swelling, decay or infection, or as a preventative measure to avoid serious problems in the future. If impaction of one or more wisdom teeth is present, and left untreated, a number of potentially harmful outcomes can occur, including:
Damage to nearby teeth: Second molars (the teeth directly in front of the wisdom teeth) can be adversely affected by impacted wisdom teeth, resulting in tooth decay (cavities), periodontal disease (gum disease) and possible bone loss.
Disease: Although uncommon, cysts and tumors can occur in the areas surrounding impacted wisdom teeth.
Infection: Bacteria and food can become trapped under the gum tissue, resulting in an infection. The infection can cause considerable pain and danger.
Tooth Crowding: It has been theorized that impacted wisdom teeth can put pressure on other teeth and cause them to become misaligned (crowded or twisted). This theory isn’t universally accepted by all dental professionals, and it has never been validated by any scientific studies.
Wisdom teeth examination
As with any dental procedure, your dentist will want to initially conduct a thorough examination of the wisdom and surrounding teeth. Panoramic or digital X-rays will be taken in order for your dentist to evaluate the position of the wisdom teeth and determine if a current problem exists, or the likelihood of any potential future problems. The X-rays can also expose additional risk factors, such as deterioration or decay of nearby teeth. Early evaluation and treatment (typically in the mid-teen years) is recommended in order to identify potential problems and to improve the results for patients requiring wisdom teeth extractions. Only after a thorough examination can your dentist provide you with the best options for your particular case.
What does the removal of wisdom teeth involve?
Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure, generally performed under local anesthesia, intravenous (IV) sedation, or general anesthesia by a specially trained dentist in an office surgery suite. The surgery does not require an overnight stay, and you will be released with post-operative instructions and medication (if necessary), to help manage any swelling or discomfort.

- MCB Group’s market cap hits $2.55 billion, making it Mauritius’ most valuable company.
- Nine-month profit surged 16.2% to $315 million amid strong financial performance.
- Operations span Africa, Middle East, and Europe, driving growth in interest and fee income.
In the Indian Ocean nation of Mauritius, a financial giant has quietly grown into one of Africa’s most respected banking institutions. MCB Group, which traces its roots back to 1838, is now the country’s most valuable company, with a market capitalization of $2.55 billion. This achievement speaks not just to its longevity, but to steady leadership and a clear focus on long-term growth.
Mauritius’ MCB thrives across borders
What began nearly two centuries ago as a local bank has expanded into a diversified financial services group with operations far beyond Mauritius. Headquartered in Port Louis, MCB Group now runs over 60 branches and a network of subsidiaries that stretch across the Indian Ocean and into Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. Its reach includes countries like Madagascar, Seychelles, the Maldives, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, and the United Arab Emirates.
Over the past year, the company’s market value has risen sharply, by MUR18.83 billion ($411.91 million), thanks to a nearly 20 percent increase in its share price. On the Stock Exchange of Mauritius, MCB’s stock climbed from MUR389.3 ($8.85) to MUR464 ($10.15). Investors have benefited not only from the capital gains but also from an increased dividend payout, which rose from MUR9.5 ($0.208) to MUR10.5 ($0.23) per share.
MCB nine-month profit up 16.2 percent
That performance is backed by strong financials. In the nine months ending Mar. 31, 2025, MCB reported a profit of MUR14.4 billion ($315 million), up 16.2 percent from the same period the year before. The Group’s Return on Equity, a key indicator of profitability, stood at 17.4 percent. “We reported another quarter of good results,” said Group Chief Executive Jean Michel Ng Tseung. He pointed to steady loan performance, a lower cost of risk, and strong capital buffers as signs of the bank’s solid footing.
MCB’s earnings growth has been driven by both interest income and a boost in fees from its growing range of services. Interest income rose from MUR33.82 billion ($740 million) to MUR36.76 billion ($804.1 million), while fees and commissions climbed to MUR9.01 billion ($197.2 million).
These gains came from higher activity in payments, trade finance, and wealth management. Other income sources brought in MUR5.08 billion ($111.1 million), and the Group’s asset base reached MUR986.7 billion ($21.6 billion), reflecting its expanding scale.
But numbers alone don’t capture the full picture. MCB plays a vital role in the region’s economy, not only as its biggest bank but as an investor in its future. The Group operates in three main areas, banking, non-banking financial services, and other investments.
MCB grows with eye on risk
Through MCB Capital Markets, it offers services ranging from corporate finance to private equity and asset management, helping African companies access capital and manage risk. Its leasing and factoring services support small and growing businesses, while its community programs provide critical support to micro-entrepreneurs.
With a growing international footprint and partnerships across global financial markets, MCB Group is helping connect African economies with the rest of the world. It plays a key role in financing trade, energy projects, and sustainable development initiatives. While banks across the continent face challenges like currency volatility and evolving regulations, MCB’s steady growth has set it apart as an institution built on experience, adaptability, and trust.
In a time when many companies are valued more on promise than performance, MCB Group’s $2.55 billion market cap is grounded in real results. Its story is one of persistence and smart decisions, of a bank that has evolved through decades of change without losing sight of its core purpose. As it looks ahead, MCB Group is not only leading the way in Mauritius but also showing what’s possible for financial institutions across Africa.

firstname.lastname@example.org·29 days agoThe only reason a woman needs for an abortion is that she wants one Everyone else can fuck right off.
email@example.com·29 days agoI mean, there are medical reasons too. Some women would prefer not to have an abortion, but not doing so could kill them, as we’ve seen time and time and time and time again (not an exhaustive list)
firstname.lastname@example.org·edit-229 days agoIf they are at risk of dying and others insist that they stay pregnant then the forced-birthers are culpable for the deaths that result But of course, that’s doesn’t matter to them, just like they don’t care about the child once it’s born
email@example.com·29 days agoThere’s always a risk of dying, because the risk of maternal death in the US is way too high for a country that’s pretending to be developed.
firstname.lastname@example.org·29 days agoSo what you’re saying is it should be their choice? Feel like there’s a phrase for that.
email@example.com·29 days ago100% this. That bullshit about women going out and having sex then rolling into the abortion clinic as birth control is so much shit. No one is doing that shit. Pisses me off these Republicans want to control women so fucking bad. I hate every single one that needs some sort of deranged control over women.
firstname.lastname@example.org·29 days agoNot to give the argument credibility, but there are women who do that. I knew one and heard about another. Confirmation bias is too strong for everyone to resist. They often don’t even need a single varifiable source.
email@example.com·29 days agoBasically, it’s contextual and should be treated on a case by case basis, and that is why it must be legal for all, because these cases cannot be effectively foreseen.
firstname.lastname@example.org·29 days agoWhat context? It’s nobody else’s choice Nobody else is gestating the foetus, nobody else will potentially be squeezing it out of their body, to great cost The toll that pregnancy takes on women is woefully underestimated by almost everyone. Women lose teeth because the foetus parasitises their calcium to such a great extent There is no “context” other than being OK with forcing a woman to be an incubator I stand by my original statement The only reason a woman needs for an abortion is that she wants one. It’s that simple.
email@example.com·edit-229 days agoI wasn’t arguing with you, you misunderstood my point. I was just adding onto what you said. My point being: when we start to try to apply moral “code” to something as personal and nuanced as abortion, people always suffer because it’s so personal and nuanced. I am agreeing with you, it should be nobodys decision but the woman, because every woman’s situation (CONTEXT) is different, so there’s literally no way to apply some kind of blanket morality to abortions. The reason a woman might want one can change based on so many factors, so trying to dictate that women should only be able to get one when they’re needed requires defining situations where they’re needed, the thing is, though, if an abortion is wanted, then it is needed. I am agreeing with you.

Shetland Ponies: Choosing the best from the rest
The Shetland Pony is iconic around the world and will be the focus of a week long celebration of the breed this July culminating in the Shetland Pony Stud-Book Society annual Breed Show. This is only the second time the show has ever been held in Shetland, the last one over ten years ago in 2009. In celebration of the event, the Shetland Museum and Archives are working with the Pony Breeders of Shetland Association (PBSA) to put on an exhibition about Shetland Pony shows and their history.
The PBSA was established in Shetland in 1971 to encourage closer communications and collaboration amongst island breeders and with the Shetland Pony Stud-Book Society.
The exhibition, entitled ‘Shetland Ponies: Choosing the best from the rest’, opens on Friday 19th July at the Shetland Museum and Archives. It will feature stories, photos, and items of interest from local shows gone by and provide a glimpse into past winners and judges and how they decide what makes a winning pony.
Small ponies have existed in Shetland for over 2,000 years and probably much longer. Excavations have revealed the bones of small ponies dating back to the Bronze Age and it is thought the ponies have been in domestic use since this time. The island location enabled the breed to evolve with little importations and this small but strong breed became well adapted to Shetland life. Over time they became popular with both collieries and royalty and began to be exported around the world. During this period of huge popularity, the Shetland Pony Stud-Book Society was formed in 1890 with the aim of publishing the first Stud-book – the first for a native breed of pony anywhere in Britain. Many of the registered ponies can today trace their pedigrees back to the first volumes of the Stud-book. The annual breed show is the highlight of the Shetland Pony Stud-Book Society calendar.
Dr. Ian Tait, Curator of Shetland Museum and Archives said, “It has been great working with the PBSA to put on this exhibition and the intriguing stories of the evolution of these shows and the popularity of the breed.”
Carole Laignel of the PBSA continued, “It is exciting to have the Annual Stud-Book Breed Show back here in Shetland. This exhibition will be a wonderful way of celebrating the event, our own shows, and the remarkable animal that is the Shetland Pony.”
The exhibition is on in the Upper Gallery at the Shetland Museum and Archives from Friday 19th July.

Ultraviolet Explorer, the astronomers did a year-long study on Hale-Bopp to find
that there are distinctly different ices in the comet's nucleus, the nucleus is
huge, and the nucleus is extremely active.
The comet's nucleus seems to be erupting upon itself. Astronomers witnessed the
comet spew out dust in intermittent bursts. The surface seems to be an incredibly dynamic place, with 'vents' being turned on and off as new
patches of icy material are rotated into sunlight for the first time.
The nucleus' structure itself is more complex than astronomers had thought.
Astonomers theorized that trace gases were contained within water ice.
According to Hubble Space Telescope observations, however, Hale-Bopp's nucleus
has trace components contained within their own ice structure, with water ice
remaining separate and uniform.
In addition, the nucleus is tremendously large. Astronomers have estimated
Hale-Bopp's nucleus to be 19-25 miles (30-40 kilometers) in diameter. Comets
are thought to have a nucleus of about 3 miles (5 kilometers) on average.

title: Microsoft issues patches for printnightmare bug

text:
If you're one of the legions of Windows users, you may be aware that the OS currently has some printer issues. In fact, they're so severe that the bug has been dubbed "PrintNightmare," and note that this flaw affects all versions of Windows.
The good news is that Microsoft got to work just after the issue was initially reported, and began issuing patches to fix it. The bad news is that it turned out to be a bit more complicated than anybody realized at the time. In fact, despite already having issued a few new patches, the problem persists for some users.
Microsoft is still at it, and has recently released additional patches for more versions of Windows impacted by the bug. These are Out of Band patches, so you may miss them if all you're doing is updating via the "Patch Tuesday" series of security updates.
The two issues at the root of the problem are being tracked as CVE-2021-1675 and CVE-2021-34527. If you've got one or more users who are still impacted by the bug, the Redmond giant has advised admins to disable the print spooler until a patch that takes care of the issue can be applied.
In the company's latest update regarding the matter, they write:
"Microsoft identified a security issue that affects all versions of Windows and have expedited a resolution for supported versions of Windows that will automatically be applied to most devices."
As of now, the company has released patches that should solve the issue for Windows 10 1607 (Enterprise), Windows Server 2016, and Windows Server 2012.
When these patches are applied, non admin users will be restricted to installing signed print drivers to a print server, but admins will be able to install both signed and unsigned drivers. Admins also have the options to configure the "RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators" such that non admins cannot even install signed drivers if they wish.
Unfortunately, a security researcher named Will Dormann reported via Twitter that he had found a way to bypass the new restrictions the new patches put in place. So this may not be the end of the issue. It is, nonetheless, a big step forward, and a clear sign that the PrintNightmare will soon be ending.

Dermabrasion Skin Rejuvenation
Dermabrasion is an effective non-surgical aesthetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the skin. The procedure is most commonly performed on the face, but may also be applied effectively to other sites. Dermabrasion can effectively reduce the appearance of acne scars and fine lines around the mouth. Sometimes the procedure may also be used to treat inflammatory skin conditions caused due to rosacea.
Many patients are keen to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face, or minimize the impact of acne scars and other skin aberrations. However, not all of them may be ready to undergo a facelift or another facial surgery procedure. In such cases, the surgeon may recommend dermabrasion as an effective non-surgical alternative.
The dermabrasion technique involves the use of a wire brush or a diamond wheel with coarse edges to gently remove the top layers of the skin. The brush rotates in rapid movements, causing the removal, and leveling of the uppermost skin layers.
As the superficial skin wound heals gradually, new skin will grow to replace the damaged skin. The technique can be customized according to the patient’s aesthetic needs to achieve the desired level of skin resurfacing.
Dermabrasion is usually performed using a local anesthetic such as lidocaine. The treatment provider may also use ice packs to numb the skin prior to treatment. IV sedation or general anesthesia may be used in exceptional cases where deeper abrasions or the entire face are involved. The skin care expert will treat one targeted area at a time.
The rotating brush is applied to take off the upper layers of the skin. Gauze will be used to stop any bleeding, and the treated area will be covered with an ointment or clean dressing. Dermabrasion is typically performed as an outpatient procedure.

title: Best thing since sliced bread

text:
The idiom “the best thing since sliced bread” is used to describe something that is very good, useful, or innovative. It is a hyperbole, suggesting that something is the best thing ever invented, even better than sliced bread, which is widely considered to be a major convenience.
Origin of “The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread”
The idiom “the greatest thing since sliced bread” quickly caught on, and it soon began to be used to describe other products and inventions that were seen as being very good or useful. For example, in the 1930s, the idiom was used to describe the television, the automobile, and the refrigerator. In the 1940s, the idiom was used to describe penicillin and the atomic bomb.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the idiom “the best thing since sliced bread” began to be used more figuratively, to describe things that were not necessarily new inventions but that were still seen as being very good or useful. For example, the idiom might be used to describe a new social program or a new way of doing things.
Today, the idiom “the greatest thing since sliced bread” is still widely used, both in the literal and figurative senses. It is a versatile idiom that can be used to describe a wide range of things, from new technologies to new ideas.
The Invention of Sliced Bread
The first automatic bread slicer was invented by Otto Frederick Rohwedder in 1928. Rohwedder’s bread slicer was a major innovation, but it was not without its problems. The early bread slicers were often unreliable and produced uneven slices of bread.
In 1930, the Chillicothe Baking Company in Chillicothe, Missouri, became the first bakery to sell sliced bread. The Chillicothe Baking Company’s sliced bread was an instant success.
In 1932, Wonder Bread began selling sliced bread. Wonder Bread was one of the first brands of pre-sliced bread to be marketed to a national audience.
By the end of the 1930s, sliced bread was the dominant form of bread in the United States.
Examples of How the Idiom Can Be Used in Everyday Speech
The idiom “the greatest thing since sliced bread” can be used in a variety of ways in everyday speech. For example, you might say that someone has invented the greatest thing since sliced bread if they have come up with a new product or invention that is very useful or innovative. You might also use the idiom to describe something that is very good or enjoyable, such as a new restaurant or a new movie.
Here are some examples of how the idiom “the greatest thing since sliced bread” can be used in everyday speech:
- “This new app is the greatest thing since sliced bread. It makes it so easy to do my shopping.”
- “My new car is the greatest thing since sliced bread. It’s so comfortable and fuel-efficient.”
- “This new restaurant is the greatest thing since sliced bread. The food is amazing and the service is impeccable.”
- “This new movie is the greatest thing since sliced bread. It’s funny, heartwarming, and thought-provoking.”
The idiom “the greatest thing since sliced bread” is a testament to the popularity and convenience of sliced bread. It is also a reminder of how quickly language can change and evolve. The idiom was originally used to describe a specific product, but it is now used to describe a wide range of things. This is because the idiom is not just about sliced bread; it is about the idea of innovation and progress.

text:
In a touching note, he thanked Madhuri for her warmth during the shoot: "Thank you Madhuri for making me so comfortable when I was a raw newcomer."
Bollywood actor Sanjay Kapoor features in the film The Zoya Factor, starring niece Sonam Kapoor. He says as uncle and niece, they got a chance to spend quality time, and working with family member is always a good idea.
In the film, Sanjay is playing the father of Zoya, played by Sonam.
Asked about what is so special of working with his niece, Sanjay told IANS: “As an actor for me it is important to be part of a good story and The Zoya Factor is one such opportunity. Having said that, working with family members is always a good idea. Although we spend time when we have a family get-together, during the shooting of The Zoya Factor I got a chance to spend quality time with Sonam.”
“We have seen her grow up before us and I think I spent the most quality time on the sets of this film, because every day we are shooting for 13 hours.

title: Ethnic nationalities alliance welcome icj lawsuit as suu kyi prepares to defend the government and military of genocide against rohingya

text:
Overseas based Burma ethnic alliance and coalition groups issued statements welcoming Gambia’s lawsuit to the International Court of Justice for genocide against the Rohingya by the Burmese government.
Mahn Kyaw Swe, president of the Canadian Burma Ethnic Nationalities Organization (CBENO) said the aim of their statement is to support the international community’s actions to bring the Burmese military to justice, and make them accountable for their crimes against humanity.
Mahn Kyaw Swe said that like Rohingya, other ethnic nationalities of Burma also suffer from serious and persistent violations of basic human rights, and are subjected to violent persecution.
“The recent Rohingya case was exposed to the world with concrete evidences,” Mahn Kyaw Swe said; “on behalf of ethnic nationalities in Burma, we want the world to know that similar cases are also taking place in other ethnic nationalities region in Burma.”
The Canadian Burma Ethnic Nationalities Organization (CBENO) together with the Nationalities Alliance of Burma (USA), and Coalition of Burma Ethnics, Malaysia (COBEM) put out a statement on November 18, 2019 welcoming the move.
The joint statement said, “it is common practice by the Burmese military to conduct arbitrary arrests and detention, brutal beatings and torture, sexual assaults and rape, land confiscations, and indiscriminate killings against vulnerable ethnic nationalities in ethnic regions.”
The Burma Campaign UK put out a statement on November 13, welcoming the ICJ lawsuit and the filing by Burmese Rohingya Organization (UK) in an Argentinian court a case of genocide against the military and government in Burma.
The Burma Campaign UK called on the British government to support the case of genocide against Burma at the ICJ.
Mark Farmaner, Director of Burma Campaign UK quoted in the statement said; “These legal cases will help put the military on notice that they cannot continue to evade justice and accountability for their crimes. The British government must now support the genocide case at the International Court of Justice.”
Burma President’s office responded to the filing of the case issuing a statement on November 20, announcing State Counsellor, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, is to lead the defence at the ICJ.
The government’s statement, refused to use ‘Rohingya’ and referred to them as “displaced persons from the Rakhine State.”
The government’s statement confirmed Aung San Suu Kyi would led the defence, “The State Counsellor, in her capacity as Union Minister for Foreign Affairs, will lead a team to The Hague, Netherlands, to defend the national interest of Myanmar at ICJ.”
Mahn Kyaw Swe said that it is important the government takes responsibility and fully cooperates with the United Nation mechanism.
“The government needs to take responsibility and deal with the case based on the interest of the people. There will be consequences that will hurt the people, if there are economic sanctions or other measures imposed on the country.”
According to a press release on the ICJ website on November 18 2019, the court is to hold the first public hearings on the case from Tuesday 10 to Thursday 12 December 2019.

title: Cycling frog

text:
Cycling Frog is a CBD and THC Seltzer brand headquartered in Seattle.
With their wide distribution, they utilize Vermont Information Processing (VIP). VIP is the leading finder API for people in the beverage industry.
But Cycling Frog ran into a problem. A lot of their wholesale beverages were being sold through Shopify, but were not being integrated into the API and thus their finder app.
Built on Shopify, they asked us to create a custom API feed that would take VIP data, Shopify Data, and even allow custom retail accounts.
We rooted the API URL in the WordPress content management system.
In it, we set up cURLs to the VIP API that run hourly to synchronize data.
We then, built a Shopify integration into it that would pull wholesaler buyers according to customer data. The data needed to be parsed by specific parameters, including the customer’s last buy.
This data also updates hourly and drops off accounts that are not within the date range.
Finally, we created a custom location adder matching the field structure that would allow Cycling Frog to add wholesalers outside Shopify and VIP.
Within WordPress, we built functions to sort all of the data. Our biggest challenge was to make sure all the various sources were mapped to central field conventions.
Although these sources are vastly different, we almagamated them into a singular stream of data.
The final result is built on Shopify.
Upon search, it queries the custom API and locates the product at applicable locations.
The API feed is encrypted to prevent misuse outside of the Shopify use-case.

title: New day new blog new cake

text:
When I decided to start a food blog I struggled with what I should call it for a long time. I delayed telling anybody about it until I had "the" name. Then I finally I put the blog up as it was (Sahar ka Food Blog, it was called) and told some friends and family about it. How long was I going to put it off? I'll change the name when it comes to me, I thought.
Well, it didnt come to me.
Until now, that is.
The Saveur magazine website has a section called Sites We Love where each week a new blog/website is featured. Every blogger is asked, "Why is the site called --- ?" I read every one, wanting to know how other people came up with names for their blog, hoping to be inspired.
But the blog was starting to get neglected and I wasn't really inspired. So as I started to rethink the blog I realized it had to feature more baking, more cakes, pies, cupcakes, cookies. And as I started to think about all this it just popped into my head: Chai + Cake.
I guess it's still not that special or clever or cool. But it just makes more sense to me and its more personal. Anybody who knows me knows what a tea junkie I am and how much I love to bake. So Chai + Cake it is.
So obviously the first post has to be cake right?
Well this, my friends, is what you call a chocolate fudge cake.
When I first saw the recipe for Wellesley Fudge Cake on Serious Eats I couldn't wait to make it.
It's a really rich cake and the frosting recipe is a bit tricky, but it's totally worth it. Follow the recipe exactly, don't leave the frosting mixture alone while it's cooking and use good-quality dark chocolate. I halved the cake recipe and baked it in two 7-inch sandwich pans, and I halved the frosting recipe as well. However this cake will disappear fast so making the full recipe isn't a bad idea.
The fudge frosting is the best I've ever eaten and is what really makes the cake stand out. My sister asked why we needed the cake at all. "Couldn't we just eat the frosting on it's own?"
It seems like the kind of cake one ought to wait to make for a special occasion, but I guess finally coming up with a blog title I'm happy with is something to celebrate, isn't it?

title: Thousand flats pledged for civil servants

text:
The government has pledged 1,000 flats to civil servants out of the 7,000 flats to be built in a social housing scheme in Hulhumalé.
Housing ministry spokesman Ahmed Fazal said the flats would be reserved for those working in the Greater Malé region. There are around 24,000 civil servants in the Maldives with the majority working in the capital.
The civil servants will be divided into three categories: managerial and technical level staff, support level staff and administrative staff.
While 400 flats will be given to support level staff, the remaining categories will each receive 300. The more employees a government ministry or department has, the greater the allocation.
A point system will be revealed at a later date to determine who will get the flats, Fazal said. He also said the price of the flat would be released later.
Meanwhile, the government again announced the sale of 19 plots of land in Malé at a discounted rate after nobody applied to take part in the bidding. The opposition Maldivian Democratic Party had warned of undoing the sales once in power.
In August, last year the president’s office revealed that President Abdulla Yameen had decided to distribute 1,500 flats to professionals working in the government.
However, the housing ministry was unable to confirm whether the 1,000 flats pledged to civil servants was part of last year’s pledge by the president.
In February the government announced plans to offer temporary housing to police officers.
Last year Saudi Arabia pledged US$50 million to build flats for the military. In 2013 former president Mohamed Waheed’s government also announced plans to build flats for the military.

Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2
With BranchCache™, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 reduce wide area network (WAN) utilization while simultaneously increasing the responsiveness of network applications at remote offices. When IT professionals enable BranchCache in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, data retrieved from Web and file servers on the enterprise wide area network (WAN) is stored on the local branch office network.. If another client at the same branch requests the same content, the client can access it directly from the local network, without fetching the entire file across the WAN. Clients are always authorized by the server at the datacenter before they can retrieve the content from the local branch network.
BranchCache can operate in one of two modes:
Distributed Cache. Using a peer-to-peer architecture, Windows 7 clients cache content retrieved from Windows Server 2008 R2 and send the content directly to other Windows 7 clients as they need it, without those clients having to retrieve the same content over the WAN link. A distributed cache is the best choice for branches without a computer running Windows Server 2008 R2.
Hosted Cache. Using a client/server architecture, Windows 7 clients copy content to a local computer (Hosted Cache) running Windows Server 2008 R2 that has BranchCache enabled. Other client computers that need the same content retrieve it directly from the Hosted Cache. Compared to the Distributed Cache, Hosted Cache increases the cache availability because content is available even if the client that originally requested the data is offline. Additionally, a Hosted Cache works across subnets and reduces multicast traffic on the local network.
Typically, administrators can configure an existing computer running Windows Server 2008 R2 to act as the Hosted Cache, because the Hosted Cache does not require a dedicated server.
Figure 2 Comparison of BranchCache Distributed Cache and Hosted Cache modes
BranchCache currently supports the following protocols and is fully compatible with end-to-end encryption such as IPsec:
HTTP (including HTTPS). The standard protocol for Web transfers, used by applications such as Internet Explorer®, Windows Media®, and Windows SharePoint®.
SMB (including signed SMB). The standard protocol for network file transfers when connecting to shared folders from Windows Explorer.
When BranchCache is enabled on both the client computer and server computer, the client computer follows this process to retrieve data using HTTP or SMB:
The client computer running Windows 7 connects to a computer running Windows Server 2008 R2 at the datacenter and requests content exactly as it would if it were to retrieve content without using BranchCache.
The server computer at the datacenter authenticates the user and verifies that the user is authorized to access the data.
The server computer at the datacenter returns identifiers (hashes) of the requested content to the client computer instead of sending the content itself. The server computer does so over the same channel that the content would have normally been sent.
Using the retrieved identifiers, the client computer does the following:
If configured to use Distributed Cache, the client computer multicasts on the local network to find other client computers that have already downloaded the content.
If configured to use Hosted Cache, the client computer looks up content availability on the Hosted Cache.
If the content is available in the branch (either on one or more clients or the Hosted Cache), the client computer retrieves the data from within the branch, and ensures that the data is current and has not been tampered with or corrupted.
If the content is not available in the branch, the client computer retrieves the content directly from the server computer at the datacenter and either makes it available on the local network to other requesting client computers or sends it to the Hosted Cache, where it is made available to other client computers.
All content transfers between client computers or between a client computer and the Hosted Cache are encrypted.
For more information about BranchCache, see BranchCache for Windows Server 2008 R2.

Elderly Grief: Loss of a Spouse
Grieving the loss of a spouse is a profound and personal journey, especially in later years. This blog explores the emotional landscape of elderly grief following the loss of a spouse and offers guidance on navigating through this challenging time.
Understanding the Grief of Losing a Spouse
Losing a spouse is not merely about losing a person; it is a loss of shared memories, experiences, and future plans. Understanding this unique form of grief is crucial to begin the healing process. Grieving is a personal experience, and everyone’s mourning process may differ significantly. Furthermore, the loss can alter family dynamics and intensify the emotions involved, which adds to the complexity of the grieving process. Experiencing loss can be incredibly difficult, so it’s important to be patient and allow yourself time to adjust to this new phase of life.
What is Complicated Grief?
Complicated grief in elderly adults is a persistent and intense form of mourning that significantly impacts their emotional and physical health. Unlike normal grief, it doesn’t lessen with time, manifesting as an enduring longing for the deceased, difficulty in accepting the loss, and a feeling of meaninglessness. Elderly individuals are particularly vulnerable to this due to isolation, health declines, and multiple losses. This state can lead to severe mental health issues like depression and anxiety, worsening their overall well-being.
How to Cope With the Death of a Spouse
Coping with the loss of a spouse in the elderly years requires both time and active effort. Here are some strategies to help:
Allow Yourself to Grieve: Give yourself permission to feel your emotions, such as sadness, anger, confusion, or relief. Recognize that grief is a natural response to loss, and allow moments of reflection and remembrance.
Seek Support: Connect with friends, family, or grief support groups, as sharing your feelings can be healing. Talking with others who have experienced similar losses can provide comfort and perspective.
Maintain a Routine: Keeping a daily routine can provide a sense of structure and normalcy, helping to anchor your day. Be gentle with yourself as you find your new normal and adapt your routine as needed.
Embrace New Activities: Engage in hobbies or activities that bring you joy or peace, as they can be a valuable outlet for expressing emotions. Whether it’s something creative, physical, or intellectual, new activities can provide a sense of progress.
Consider Professional Help: Talking to a counselor or therapist can benefit you if grief overwhelms you. They can provide strategies to cope and help navigate complex emotions in a safe space.
Get the Support You Need
Seniors who lose a spouse often struggle with loneliness and the challenges of managing tasks their partner once handled. Concerns about living alone and fear of the future are common. In such cases, hiring a caregiver can offer much-needed support, help with daily tasks, and provide companionship to ease feelings of isolation. This can be especially beneficial in preventing prolonged mourning from developing into depression or anxiety, ensuring the senior’s emotional and physical well-being.

Guarantor loans involve a friend or family member supporting your loan application. If you can’t meet your loan repayments, your chosen guarantor becomes liable to repay the debt in your place.
However, guarantor loans can be expensive, and if you think you took one out without understanding what it was, or if your finances weren’t checked properly before it was approved, it may be possible to apply for a guarantor loan refund.
Here we explain everything you need to know including what guarantor loans are, what a mis-sold guarantor loan is and how to apply for a refund.
What is a guarantor on a loan?
When you take out a loan, you are usually responsible for paying this back over a set period of time, and paying for any interest charged on the loan.
However, if you’re not able to get a standard loan, usually because you have a poor credit score or none at all, one option is a guarantor loan.
» MORE: How to check your credit score
These loans work by allowing someone to use a guarantor, usually a friend or family member, who agrees to make loan repayments if the person taking out the loan isn’t able to.
While in theory they are a good option for someone who isn’t able to get a standard loan, guarantor loans tend to be expensive and aimed at those with poor credit scores, or those who haven’t been able to build up a credit history.
» MORE: How to get a guarantor loan
What is a mis-sold guarantor loan?
We’ve all heard about the mis-selling of Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) but there are lots of other areas where mis-selling happens, including with loans.
There are many reasons why a loan might be mis-sold to someone. Usually it’s because the person taking out the loan – and in this case the guarantor as well – was not given the proper information about the loan or not offered help or refinancing if they were unable to pay back a loan.
It can also be the case if a provider hasn’t completed all of the necessary finance checks before approving a loan.
Why borrowers might be due a refund
If you took out a guarantor loan and believe it was mis-sold to you, you may be due a refund of interest and charges you paid.
This can be the case if you are now struggling to make repayments towards the loan and your circumstances haven’t changed since you took it out. If you’re not able to make other regular payments – such as household bills or housing costs – because of the loan repayments, this means it’s unmanageable.
This indicates that the provider didn’t properly check if you were able to repay the loan before handing over the money, which is required by the Financial Conduct Authority.
Even if you’ve paid off a loan, if you were put in this situation you may still have a case to complain, which can be done at any time but usually needs to be within six years of taking out the loan. An exception to this could be when you didn’t know you had a cause to complain. In this instance you have three years to complain from the point of you becoming aware.
Why a guarantor might be due a refund
If you were a guarantor of one of these loans, or are now, and you aren’t able to make the repayments you may be able to claim a refund. As with borrowers, if your finances haven’t changed significantly since you took out the loan but you are now struggling to make payments, this means a lender probably didn’t check your details properly.
You can also make a complaint if you were pressured into being a guarantor, or if you did it without fully understanding what was required.
How to apply for a guarantor loan refund and file a complaint
If you think you’re due a refund, the first step is to complain directly to the lender who supplied you with the loan, and both the borrower and guarantor are able to do this about the same loan.
You will need to include information such as your personal details, the amount of the loan and date it was approved, and any reference numbers.
You will also need to briefly describe what has happened and why you think you are due a refund and may need to supply bank statements or your credit file to show the impact the loan had on your finances.
You’ll then need to give it eight weeks to respond. If by this time the lender either hasn’t responded or has rejected your complaint, you can then escalate the complaint to the free Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). It will look into the case and make an assessment based on the evidence it’s given.
There is a list on the FOS website of complaints it’s seen from consumers. These include borrowers being granted loans that they couldn’t be expected to repay and being treated unfairly by the lender, while guarantors have complained about being forced into becoming a guarantor or not being asked at all.
How much will you be refunded if your claim is successful?
If you are successful in making a claim about a guarantor loan, you could be paid back any interest and charges you made, plus 8% interest on the total loan amount. The amount of money will depend on the individual case, and what the FOS rules.
Further compensation could also be paid to you if the experience has caused significant distress or you have been treated unfairly.

Halloween: A New Chapter takes the iconic slasher franchise in a fresh direction, diving deeper into the psyche of both the characters and the killer, Michael Myers. The teaser trailer promises a terrifying new installment, blending classic horror elements with psychological tension and a dark, looming mystery that breathes new life into the story.
The teaser opens in Haddonfield, now a ghost of its former self. Years have passed since Michael Myers’ last known rampage, and the town remains scarred by the fear of his inevitable return. Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), having finally escaped her connection to Michael, is absent in this chapter, leaving a void that a new generation must face. Instead, the story shifts its focus to a new protagonist, Emily (played by a young rising star), a college student who recently moved to Haddonfield for reasons that seem coincidental but carry deeper significance.
The trailer teases eerie moments of suspense as Emily begins to unravel a forgotten part of Haddonfield’s history. She discovers old newspaper clippings and eerie drawings that suggest Michael Myers’ original killing spree was just the beginning of a darker legacy. As strange occurrences start happening around town, Emily grows increasingly paranoid. Doors creak open by themselves, ominous shadows appear in her home, and there’s an overwhelming sense that something—or someone—is watching her.
The middle of the teaser builds the tension, with haunting flashbacks of Myers’ earlier massacres mixed with unsettling scenes of the new masked killer stalking the streets of Haddonfield. There are brief but chilling glimpses of Michael Myers in the shadows, his presence lurking around every corner, and the familiar piano notes of the original theme song begin to play.
In the final moments, a chilling line is delivered in voiceover: “Evil never dies. It just changes form.” The trailer ends with a horrifying image of the new killer donning Michael’s mask, suggesting that the nightmare is far from over, and perhaps someone else has picked up where Michael left off.
