Bridesmaid dresses have experienced a well-deserved renaissance as of late. No longer is the category restricted to shiny, over-the-top frocks that are destined for a sad afterlife in the deepest, unreachable corners of your closet — now, options abound for flattering, modern gowns that can be worn again and again.

Below, some trending styles to consider that will ensure your bridal party stands out on the Big Day.

Keep it sleek

Flowy, billowing frocks may have been the choice of bridesmaids a few years ago, but, these days, folks are going a lot sleeker.

“For a long time, people thought by hiding their bodies, they were doing themselves a favour,” explains Candice Wheeler, manager at Victoria’s Blush Bridal Boutique. “But, as time has gone on, people have realized that more form-fitting silhouettes can be just as flattering, if not more flattering.”

Look for gowns that highlight your bridal party’s favourite parts of their bodies — whether that be a waist-cinching wrap dress or a shorter number that shows off long legs. And don’t be afraid to mix and match dresses in the same colour family to ensure every member of your party feels confident and comfortable.

Calm, cool and collected

Colours like green, blue and grey are having a moment in the bridesmaids world, with many people opting for these cool-toned hues over more traditionally “romantic” ones like nudes and pinks.

“We’re seeing a lot of smoky blues and navies and everything from a beautiful light mint all the way to super rich forest greens,” says Wheeler.

Meanwhile, Lindsay Mix, studio manager at Vancouver’s Park and Fifth, notes dove grey has been particularly popular with her clients. “It pairs well with any setting,” she says, “and it's just very simple, clean, elegant.”

Soft touch

Don’t stop at mixing and matching dress styles for your bridesmaids — switch up the fabrics for added dimension, too. Mix says, at Park and Fifth, bridal parties are increasingly pairing satin slip dresses with more traditional crepe numbers. “It gives the palette a little more depth,” she says.

The key to ensuring a cohesive look with so many cuts and textures at play? Stay within the same colour family. “Make sure all the undertones are the same — so either all cool colours or all warm colours,” says Mix. “I think that’s really important.”

Right to bare arms

Whether it’s breezy sleeves or an exposed-shoulder cut, bridesmaid dresses are all about baring arms as of late — in fresh, modern ways. “It’s not necessarily just the strapless or a spaghetti strap anymore,” says Mix. “People are branching out.”

Wheeler is a fan of the off-the-shoulder look, which she says complements an underrated part of the body. “I find the collarbone one of the body’s prettiest features,” she says, “so it’s nice to be able to show it off in a new way, as opposed to with your basic strapless.”

Students to ask state for more education funds

Published: 2/11/2019 11:26:46 PM

Students and educators from seven Pioneer Valley school districts are going to Boston on Feb. 28 to ask state lawmakers to increase funding for rural schools.

The students were supposed to go this week, but the trip was postponed due to inclement weather. The group has one main request: that legislators add a “rurality factor” to the state’s school funding formula, which hasn’t been revised in almost 25 years.

The current formula disadvantages rural schools, says the Hampshire and Franklin County Rural Schools Coalition, because it links funding to enrollment. In many of the school districts of the Pioneer Valley region, enrollment has declined in the last two decades, leading to less state aid. Yet fixed costs, like transportation, building maintenance and salaries, remain, resulting in a high “per-pupil cost” quotient.

“Our numbers, because we’re spread out, are declining,” said Pioneer Valley Regional School District Superintendent Jon Scagel. “We’re just bringing attention to this and saying, ‘As you move forward with new legislation, consider us out in Western Mass.’”

A program in Wisconsin could be used as a model for what the Rural Schools Coalition is proposing, Scagel said. In Wisconsin’s model, a school district that qualifies for a “sparsity” factor receives an extra $400 per student in state aid, Scagel said.

If that were applied here, Scagel said, it would bring about $250,000 just to Pioneer — enough to definitely keep open at least one of the elementary schools (Warwick Community School and Pearl Rhodes Elementary School in Leyden) that the Pioneer School Committee is considering closing this year.

The students and educators will start arriving at the State House around 10 a.m. on Feb. 28, said Mohawk Trail and Hawlemont Regional School Districts Superintendent Michael Buoniconti, who also chairs the Rural Schools Coalition. They’ll meet with local state representatives, including Paul Mark, D-Peru, Natalie Blais, D-Sunderland, Susannah Whipps, I-Athol, and State Sen. Jo Comerford, D-Northampton.

“It’s kind of divide-and-conquer,” Buoniconti said.

“It shows the legislators that we’re real,” said Pioneer senior Avery Johnson. “I think it’s important for us to go, too, because we’re seeing the other side of it. Usually, students don’t see the financial side, but it’s good to be open and honest with everybody about what’s going on. Maybe that will decrease the anger within the school over what’s happening.”

Regional schools received some additional funding last year, when State Sen. Adam Hinds, D-Pittsfield, led efforts to add $1.5 million for rural schools to the Fiscal Year 2019 state budget. Hinds hopes to increase that amount to $9 million in Fiscal Year 2020. However, Hinds said, this funding is only a temporary solution. Adding a rurality factor would ensure rural schools have a permanent source of funding, he said.

Mohawk Trail High School used its share of the additional rural funding to give a chromebook to every student last year, Communications Specialist Carla Potts said Wednesday. Six Mohawk High students also plan to go to the State House on Feb. 28.

“Most of the time, the schools are kind of left to come up with the funding on their own,” Freshman Lizzy Lynch said. “Local businesses donate money ... but they only have so much.”

Freshman Katie Martin said money seems to be a consistent problem for Mohawk.

“We always need help to do things,” Martin said. “We always have to do fundraising if we want to go anywhere.”

Freshman Riley Hay cited transportation as a barrier to her education. The Mohawk Trail Regional School District covers a vast expanse of 250 square miles, even as it has only 60 students per grade. This means, Mohawk requires more transportation funding than many other schools across the state. Hay, who lives in Cummington, said she wakes up each day at 5 a.m., and is at the bus stop by 6 a.m., spending about 45 minutes on the bus, both ways.

Lynch said school buses are sometimes rerouted if bridges and roads become damaged, which can add time to the trip.

“We spend a lot of time on the bus,” Lynch said.

6 Factors To Ponder Upon In Buying Patio Umbrellas

Wanting to buy a patio umbrella to use in my garden is necessary to complete my outdoor patio furniture set.

If you live in in the part of the country that is relatively high altitude area like I do, it is not always probable to eat out during the evenings for it can be quite chilly so lunchtime is the ideal time for scheduling a backyard BBQ cookout.

The decision to invest in a patio umbrella comes from the concern I have for my guest and their families, it is because the location of my patio area is pretty exposed so if the sun is out they can get burned.

Before buying something no matter what is, I always make sure I do thorough research about it, so I decided to share these findings with you. Before buying the product, I took my time to consider these relevant points.

Firstly, the frame. The choices can just either be wood or aluminium mainly. One of the major disadvantage of choosing wood is that it is heavy and you can’t just move it easily, but if portability is not that important for you then wood is what you are looking for.

Second on the list is the lifting mechanism of the patio umbrella. For you the lifting mechanism may be relavant depending on the size of the patio umbrella. The crank system is when there is a level on the umbrella pole that you wind and up it goes, this system is especially made for heavy umbrellas.

There is also a system using pulley, where you pull on the rope and the umbrella goes up and you can secure its position with a pin, this is an example of the less extravagant systems. Lastly there’s the tried and tested collar where you push it up until you hear a click indicating it to be locked.

Thirdly, is the tilt. There are two options in tilting your patio umbrella. a)Tilting the umbrella requires the auto system to use the crank. b)Rotating one of the ribs to tilt the umbrella.

The fourth thing to consider is the shade size. The size of the umbrella should be 5 feet more than the area of the table if you want to be sure to provide shade to the chairs as well, this is known as the general rule of thumb.

The fifth thing to consider is the fabric used. The fabric is considered to be one of the biggest driver of the cost, I can assure you that the cheaper fabrics’ color will fade.

The last on the list is the maximum shade and an offset umbrellas that are flexible. The key points are the umbrellas should be free standing so no addition cost will go to buying umbrella stand and the pole is to one side, so you can freely position the umbrella where you wish to maximize the shade or to ensure the view isn’t disturbed.

» Getahead » Love him, hate him, Dan Brown is a rockstar!

Love him, hate him, Dan Brown is a rockstar!

By Abhishek Mande Bhot
Last updated on: November 14, 2014 18:59 IST

Bestselling author Dan Brown spoke at the Penguin Annual Lecture in Mumbai on November 12. Abhishek Mande Bhot/ brings you snapshots from the evening!

Dan Brown

For a good part of the hour during which Dan Brown addressed a gathering in Mumbai, I could not get over the somewhat striking resemblance Brown's profile had with Liam Neeson's.

Neeson, as Internet memes have informed us, is the guy who trained Batman, Obi-Wan, led the A-Team and was the Greek God Zeus.

Dan Brown, on the other hand, is that bestselling author who made Bible Study popular.

Now before you get all worked up, this last bit is Brown's own admission.

Speaking at the Mumbai edition of the Penguin Annual Lecture, Dan Brown recounted the time when, not very long after the publication of The Da Vinci Code, a priest approached him on the streets of Boston and told him that he didn't care much for his book.

But, he added with a smile before Brown could respond, he was glad that the headcount at his weekly Bible Study class went from eight to a few hundred on the day he selected the book as the topic of discussion.

In Mumbai, Brown was in conversation with author Ashwin Sanghi, who has been hailed by many as 'India's answer to Dan Brown'.

Sanghi, whose books are similar to Brown's in their overarching themes, has little else in common with the American author.

Chetan Bhagat, on the other hand, shares a lot more with him when you think of it.

Brown, like Bhagat, has written six bestselling books (Bhagat prefers to call his books 'blockbusters').

Brown's books have been made into successful movies as have Bhagat's.

Time magazine has named both of them among the most influential people in the world (Brown in 2005, Bhagat in 2010).

The same magazine has credited Brown with 'keeping the publishing industry afloat'. Bhagat's books (and even his fiercest critics will admit this) have changed the way the Indian publishing industry, which until his arrival was perfectly happy with a print run of 5,000 to 10,000 books, works.

Both of them have drawn new readers to the book business and have also been at the receiving end of the severest criticism about the quality of their work

Salman Rushdie called The Da Vinci Code 'a novel so bad that it gives bad novels a bad name'.

Worse things have been said about Bhagat's works.

Bhagat's loud mouth has also earned him Rushdie's ire when he spoke out against The Satanic Verses some years ago.

In return Rushdie, the eloquent wordsmith, hit two birds with one stone when he tweeted: '... I am being Bhaggered. It is like being molested by Dan Brown!'

Back then, Bhagat responded with his trademark verbal diarrhoea.

Brown, when asked recently what he thought of Rushdie's opinion of him reportedly said: "He is a nice man."

Both in New Delhi and Mumbai, Brown basked in the warm adulation of his fans, not very differently from the way Bhagat does each time he speaks in public.

And indeed Brown's fans, quite like Bhagat's own, showered their love on their favourite author, laughing and clapping and cheering at practically everything he said, including at a bit that I am pretty sure only a fraction of the audience got -- cutting carrots into conic sections:

For approximately 30 minutes, Dan Brown, who was supposed to speak on 'codes, science and religion' spoke largely about the blurred lines between science and religion instead.

Holding up his mother's car registration plate that read 'Kyrie', the Greek word for 'Lord' and his father's car registration plate that read 'Metric', Brown spoke of how the diverse influences of his religious mother and mathematician father shaped his worldview.

But for the most part, Brown dished out platitudes. And the audiences lapped them up:

"When science starts tackling the tough questions it starts using phrases like 'uncertainty principle' (laughter) 'margin of error' (laughter again), 'theory of relativity' (more laughter)."

"Slowly physics turns into metaphysics (louder laughter here for some reason)."

"This podium is pure energy (no laughter here)."

This gem:

"Science and religion are partners... attempting to tell the same story."

And then this one that I tried really hard to picture:

"Hindu sanyasis are reading physics books."

I could go on.

At the end of the lecture, a friend mentioned how disappointed she was that he didn't speak more about codes.

Which is also when I realised the reason for my own disappointment: you see, much like my friend, I was (somewhat unconsciously) hoping to listen to Robert Langdon, a far more interesting character than, I suppose, Brown himself.

What we got was a 5 feet 10 inches tall lookalike of a movie star.

Dan Brown

Author Dan Brown in conversation with Ashwin Sanghi who has been called India's answer to Dan Brown.

The most surreal moment of the evening was Dan Brown's entry itself.

Soon after the mild-mannered banker-author Ravi Subramanian completed his introduction and ran back to his seat, the spotlight shifted to the wings where you imagine Brown would have been bouncing like a boxer before a bout.

And amidst thunderous applause and screams, Dan Brown made his entry not unlike a boxer.

The author was dwarfed by beefy bodyguards who, out of habit had, somewhat comically, outstretched their hands to protect him... seemingly from thin air!

A skinny guard in a safari suit, who seemed to be their boss, took over in a manner that would put the Secret Service agents to shame and ordered his muscular minions to take positions to protect their 'target' from an invisible enemy.

No one, of course, wanted to attack Brown.

The auditorium though had gone berserk; everyone was on their feet.

People, some of whom had travelled from as far as the neighbouring town of Thane (about 40 km away from the venue), were screaming for attention.

For a good minute or so, that was all you could hear.

This was possibly the closest the Tata Theatre may have come to a rock concert.

And there he was, at the centre of attention, in a sharp black suit and tie, smiling and waving.

Platitudes and critics notwithstanding, Dan Brown is a rockstar.

You didn't need to be a code breaker to figure that one out.

Eugene wants to join a consortium of cities that promote kindness among its residents and with visitors. It’s a fine effort for the city to undertake. Political leadership has become most viable where it’s the most local. General and pervasive kindness is a lovely goal for each of us, but we should augment it with some targeted anger as well.

Tom Tait popularized the kindness initiative when he made it his mayoral campaign platform in Anaheim, California. He won his 2010 race by a large margin, so he took that as a mandate to make Anaheim the first City of Kindness. Documenting 1 million acts of kindness makes each of those acts a bit less random, but it certainly enhances a city’s quality of life.

Eugene Mayor Lucy Vinis would like Eugene to follow in the footsteps of Anaheim and now many other cities. Local leaders across the world have been inspired to make kindness contagious among its citizens. But there’s another mayor, in another California city, also showing how leadership works best where everybody knows your name.

In San Rafael, 417 miles north of Anaheim, Mayor Gary Phillips has lost patience, and he’s doing something about it. Phillips announced last month that he’s "had it simply lowering the flag" for a few days after deadly shootings. Flying local flags at half-staff is an appropriate expression of civic mourning only if action is being taken to remedy the problem.

Phillips has ordered all his city’s flags to fly at half-staff until Congress acts to stop gun violence. He understands that enacting any new laws will be difficult in the current political environment, but that’s almost beside the point. He’s frustrated that no legislation is being brought to a vote to make even modest changes.

"Progress [will be] made when Congress takes specific action to address the issue," he announced to his City Council. "I am not prescribing that action, as that is their job, but I am saying that to do nothing is not acceptable to San Rafael."

Not only has Congress failed to act on gun control legislation since the Clinton administration, it has expressly prohibited the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from studying gun violence. How do you stop an epidemic when you cannot examine it?

Legislative inaction — especially from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell — is a tragedy that allows each subsequent tragedy to happen without resistance. San Rafael’s flags will signal a mourning of this loss every day, until some action is taken by Congress to address the problem.

Phillips, unlike Tait, isn’t urging other cities to follow his lead, but a movement sometimes begins without its founder’s permission. Vibrant local leadership may be what dislodges our national stalemate. Eugene should also lower its flags until some action — any action! — is taken by Congress to curb the current trend toward violence and the terror it induces.

Eugene should become a City of Kindness, while also taking a stand against our national leaders’ intransigence regarding gun violence. Tolerance and intolerance are each suited to its context and our city should promote both.

Rumor: Resident Evil REmake 3 Releasing 2020 - Rely on Horror

Rumor: Resident Evil REmake 3 Releasing 2020

This rumor has been making the rounds for about a year now, but this is the first time anyone has attached a hard date to it. Back before REmake 2 was even announced, we had begun to hear rumblings of a Resident Evil 3 remake. This came as no surprise, as the original RE2 and 3 were ostensibly sister games — with 3 utilizing a tremendous amount of game design and assets from the former. It made sense that, if Capcom was going to remake the third entry, they’d want to do it while they could cannibalize REmake 2 for the assets and design and it still feel fresh.  This was followed up a few months later when a leaker who we’ve come to trust reported to us that REmake 3 was in full production and would be releasing “sooner than expected”, and that leaker went on to talk about a multiplayer component being created as well. Since then it’s been mostly quiet, save for the surprise reveal of Project REsistance, a 4v1 multiplayer game that has a single-player campaign Capcom has not revealed yet. That same leaker I spoke about earlier has ventured to claim that Project REsistance is either spun off from an early concept for a planned mode in REmake 3 or is actually part of REmake 3 itself.

Well, a new leak (remember: grain of salt with everything not officially confirmed by Capcom) indicates that everything our source told us has been right on the money. Both YouTuber Spawn Wave (who accurately leaked the George RR Martain/From Software collaboration) and gaming site Video Games Chronicle have claimed that they’ve individually heard information regarding REmake 3 being in development and releasing soon — as in 2020 kind of soon. Check out Spawn’s video:

While there isn’t anything especially new about this video beyond being the first time someone has actually said the words “twenty-twenty” in regards to REmake 3‘s release date, it’s yet another source for the same rumor. That said, Spawn does seem unaware of just how old the majority of his information is (opening their video calling the rumor “not really reported or talked about” despite this exact rumor going back months), and it’s totally possible he latched onto old information hoping to gain traction with it again. VGC backing up his claim saying they’ve heard from their own source does offer slightly more credence though, so fingers crossed.

So far as the 2020 release date is concerned, it offers up a variety of possibilities in regards not only to when we’ll see it in 2020, but when we’ll first hear of it officially. There are two major options, outside of the game being announced on a random Thursday (which has actually happened a few times, to be fair). The first is E3 2020, which would have REmake 3 most likely releasing alongside the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Scarlet during the holiday season as either a cross-gen title or console launch exclusive. Worth noting that there has never been a console-launch Resident Evil game (closest it gets is The Mercenaries 3D, released for 3DS a few months after that system’s launch), although that doesn’t mean Capcom can’t change that. The other option, however, is being revealed at The Game Awards in a few weeks. REmake 2 has quite a presence at the show, nominated for four separate awards including GOTY — meaning lots of fan eyes will be on the show this year. Being revealed at TGA would allow it to release around E3, based on Capcom’s previous 7 months from announcement to release calendar, while also avoiding the rush for next-gen consoles and their exclusives.

It’s also worth mentioning that all of this is coinciding with speculation that REmake 2 may be receiving either a new DLC pack or a major update of some kind. Is it possible that could be tied into all of this? I guarantee you that REmake 3 will not be DLC for REmake 2, but the idea of a demo being made available as an update for REmake 2 owners isn’t all that crazy. As REmake 2 closes in on a year following its launch and a price drop starting to roll out in some territories, what better way to boost sales than to make a demo for REmake 3 exclusive to owners of the previous remake? Leaves one to ponder, it does.

We’ll keep you posted on this developing story — we’ll find out one way or another soon enough.

Argentina 1978

A brutal military junta suspends civil liberties for anyone that opposes it. Distraught mothers of ‘The Disappeared’ parade daily in front of the capital building.

In retaliation, violent acts of terrorism shatter what is left of normal life. Only one thing can unite all the people.

Any of those battery ratings will work fine in your car.

The basic rule is that the more electronic options you have the more power you consume - so a heavily optioned car would get the higher rated battery.

Also, if you live in a cold climate I would go with the 80 or 95 AH battery.

Porsches cars have a normal parasitic draw of 25 to 35 milliamps, it is recomended that customer use a battery maintainer to keep battery fully charged when vehicle is not driven on daily basis. If battery continues to go low, cell plates will sulfate and not let the battery charge properly. Also keep in mind when vehicle not driven daily is that the battery charge goes lower, customer may then drive a short distance with high consumer load(especially in cold weather,ie... wipers,window defogger,blower motor ect....) and the alternator is able to keep up with these but may not put the full charge back in battery. After doing this several times in a row the battery may reach a point when there is not enough amps left in it to start the vehcile. Therefore a maintainer is nearly manditory on this vehicle when sets for periods of time.

I would second Loren's post that you use a "Battery Maintainer" to keep the battery in your 997 properly charged.

As he stated, a common problem with batteries in the 997 is that if the car is not used, the battery will go dead because of the electronics in the car keep a constant drain on the battery.

Get a battery charger maintainer with your new battery.

One question: Where do you drive a 997 in Pakistan?

Global Compliance Desk – New York

Updates to New York Paid Family Leave

Employees can take up to 10 weeks of New York Paid Family Leave (” NYPFL “) starting in 2019. In events, including bonding with a new child, caring for a family member with a serious health condition, or assisting loved ones when a family member is deployed abroad on active military service. The Paid Family Leave wage replacement benefit has also increased. In 2019, employees taking Paid Family Leave will receive 55% of their average weekly wage, up to a cap of 55% of the current Statewide Average Weekly Wage of $1,357.11. The maximum weekly benefit for 2019 is $746.41.

As of February 3, 2019, the definition of “serious health condition” will be expanded to include preparation and recovery from surgery related to organ or tissue donation. Accordingly, employees with family members who have made organ or tissue donations and who require care may be eligible for leave under the law.

Entitlement to Paid Family Leave for Organ Donor

An employee is entitled to paid family leave if they or any family member undergoes surgery to donate all or part of one of the following organs to another person:

  • Kidney
  • Liver
  • Lung
  • Pancreas
  • Small bowel

Bereavement Leave Veto Update

Governor of New York recently vetoed Senate Bill 8380-A. which would have amended Article 9 of the Workers’ Compensation Law to add bereavement leave to the already-existing categories of leave covered by NYPFL. In support of this action, the Governor issued a veto memorandum. In which he outlined his chief concerns with the bill as currently drafted.

The Governor focused on the fact that there was no provision for the time during which the leave could be taken. The contrast between the proposed bereavement leave and the existing bonding leave highlighted this point. Whereas bonding leave must be taken within 12 months of the qualifying event, bereavement leave under the Senate Bill contained no similar restriction, which leads to a virtually unlimited amount of leave, particularly if taken intermittently.

Even though bereavement leave will not be allowed in accordance with the law this year, the Governor vowed to work with the Legislature to resolve the issues identified in his veto memorandum, leaving the possibility that the bereavement leave could be restored in the future.

DySP Davinder Singh A Black Sheep, Being Probed, Politics Unfortunate: J&K L-G's Advisor

General News

Advisor to J&K Lt Governor G. C. Murmu, Farooq Khan called Dy SP Davinder Singh a 'black sheep' and lauded the J&K Police Forces for his red-handed arrest.

Written By Aishwaria Sonavane | Mumbai | Updated On:

Advisor to J&K Lt Governor G. C. Murmu, Farooq Khan called Dy SP Davinder Singh a 'black sheep' in the organisation, and lauded the J&K Police Force for apprehending the suspect, who was caught ferrying two Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists in the valley. Speaking to the media, Farooq Khan expressed his displeasure over the politicisation of the matter by political parties.

He said, "I don't want to discuss the details of the case, it's being investigated. Every organisation has a black sheep, he (Davinder Singh) was a black sheep too. But the credit goes to J&K Police who identified him, caught him and exposed conspiracies being hatched by him. It is unfortunate that political parties are doing politics on matters which are directly related to the security of India."

Police on Saturday had arrested Singh, a deputy superintendent of police, at Mir Bazar in Jammu and Kashmir's Kulgam district, along with two Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists, besides an unidentified lawyer who was working as an overground worker for terror outfits. Hizbul Mujahideen, a pro-Pakistani terror organisation was formed in 1989 and is one of the oldest armed groups operating in the valley. The group, that is based inside Pakistan, has been designated as a terrorist group by India, the US and the European Union.

Congress-BJP spar

Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury wondered about the real culprits involved in the last year Pulwama attack, which had killed over 40 CRPF personnel, his party colleague Randeep Singh Surjewala asked if Singh was a mere pawn and sought clarifications from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.

The BJP on Tuesday attacked the Congress, saying the opposition party is "best at attacking India and protecting Pakistan". BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra also targeted the Congress over comments of two of its leaders on the arrest of J&K Police officer Davinder Singh for links with terrorists. Linking the Congress to Pakistan, Patra said there are "too many coincidences" that show a conspiracy. Moreover, dared the Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi to make it clear if they have any doubts on who were the perpetrators in the Pulwama attack. Patra said the Congress has been reduced to giving oxygen to Pakistan and attacking India and alleged that the opposition party has a history of defending the neighboring country.

Davinder Singh's name cropped up during the trial of 2001 Parliament attack. Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru who was hanged on February 9, 2013, wrote a letter in the same year explaining how "DSP Davinder Singh", the then deputy superintendent of police of Special Operations Group, had asked him to "take Mohammad", a co-accused in the Parliament attack case, "to Delhi, rent a flat for his stay and purchase a car for him". However, the angle was probed and could not be substantiated with any evidence, the officials said.

2012 CHALLENGE - January 18th - DAY 18 / 365

Submitted by LittleMix on

Not much to report on today. My balls are huge at the moment. Had a little twinge of pain in the tube area between sack and penis.

Massive erection this morning once again with a ton of porn and fantasy flashbacks. They died down as the day went on.

Apart from that, fairly quiet. Pushed myself a bit too much during running today. Groin twinge is back again and my left knee is hurting.

One thing I have noticed in the last couple of days is that I've woken up much easier, more refreshed. I don't know whether it's due to abstinence or not, so I'm going to monitor that.

2012 CHALLENGE - January 17th - DAY 17 / 365

Submitted by LittleMix on

Today was a fairly quiet day. I've decided that once I reach my PB of 21 days, I'll aim to hit weekly targets.

I'm on a healthy diet for 6 days a week with a binge at the end. I'm super strict for those 6 days and it's been my weight management tool for 2.5 years. Lost 3 stone on this. I've decided that if I ever relapse, I'll forgo the 7th day treat.

Had one worrying moment. The area between my ball sack and penis started hurting today. It was quite uncomfortable, but it went after a while.

2012 CHALLENGE - January 16th - DAY 16 / 365

Submitted by LittleMix on

Had a stinking cold today. Nose is blocked in one nostril. Eyes are watery when my hands touch them.

Felt exhausted today. Perked up some energy to carry on with a writing project, but again, it's very easy for the mind to drift, especially when you use your imagination.

However, my energy levels are back down today. Crazy stuff. There have been some edge of the seats moments when I've thought 'I can't carry on'. Clicked on a few showbiz links with celebs I used to masturbate to.

Prepared some job applications which I'm going to fire off tomorrow and hope for the best.

2012 CHALLENGE - January 15th - DAY 15 / 365

Submitted by LittleMix on

Well, I think I'll be off to the doctors this coming week. I can't stop crying. It's just one big wave of depression after another. To rub further salt into the wound, I've got a slight cold and itchy eyes and it's 0 degrees Celsius with frost and fog.

Always seem to wake up in the morning with erections and my mind racing with pornographic images. Crazy stuff.

Nothing else to report really.

2012 CHALLENGE - January 14th - DAY 14 / 365

Submitted by LittleMix on

I've decided that once I get to Day 21, I'll do weekly blogs instead.

What can I say about today. Brain fog, anxiety, tired limbs.

Got a little niggle in my groin today. Felt it after running, so I'm hoping that doesn't go.

A number of porn flashbacks occurred. Apart from that, nothing major. Had a massive morning erection which coincided with a ton of sexual thoughts which wore off once I stepped outside into the cold.

Onward and upwards.

2012 CHALLENGE - January 13th - DAY 13 / 365

Submitted by LittleMix on

Had a wet dream last night. It was really strange. I had a dream that I was having sex and I couldn't feel any sensation at all. The next thing I know, I'm awake having an orgasm and a wet patch down below.
I checked my underwear too and there wasn't even a white leftover.

Today was back to the anxiety attacks. Nasty little things. Really make you feel worthless.

Is it possible that the wet dream caused my anxiety to increase?

Went out for a bit today. Didn't make any difference to my mood.

Guess I have to be patient and stick it out.

2012 CHALLENGE - January 12th - DAY 12 / 365

Submitted by LittleMix on

Still a very anxious day with a few flashbacks back to porn. Very insecure about a number of things which is bizarre.

I cannot seem to recall getting a hard erection this morning, the first in a long time.

Concentration and memory levels are still shot to pieces. I'm going to start allocating some time to do the Brain Training and Sudoku.

Feels like I'm regressing rather than progressing. My brain seems to be making plans about when to masturbate and for how long. I reject them, but then it pops back into my mind again.

2012 CHALLENGE - January 11th - DAY 11 / 365

Submitted by LittleMix on

What a day. Felt so suicidal today, I'm surprised I've made this far. Every insecurity I've had rose to the surface today. My chest and ribs ache. Appetite has gone. I struggled with exercise today. I even cried.
It's just like being in a dark hole with no hope for anything. I hate this pain so much.

My mind is racing and it feels like it won't stop.

Hope this goes soon. Really struggling.

2012 CHALLENGE - January 10th - DAY 10 / 365

Submitted by LittleMix on

Today has been a case of hidden anxiety, anger, headaches, frustration and increased sexual thoughts.

I feel like I've masturbated even though I haven't. My memory has returned back to its horrendous state. I feel tired and exercising has become a struggle.

I'm hoping this subsides soon. Concentration levels are at an all time low. Unable to read or write without my mind drifting.

Onto the next day I guess.

Evolution used same genetic formula to turn animals monogamous

Marnia's picture
Submitted by Marnia on
Printer-friendly version

Original article

Why are some animals committed to their mates and others are not? According to a new study led by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin that looked at 10 species of vertebrates, evolution used a kind of universal formula for turning non-monogamous species into monogamous species—turning up the activity of some genes and turning down others in the brain.

"Our study spans 450 million years of evolution, which is how long ago all these species shared a common ancestor," said Rebecca Young, research associate in UT Austin's Department of Integrative Biology and first author of the study published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The authors define monogamy in animals as forming a pair bond with one mate for at least one mating season, sharing at least some of the work of raising offspring and defending young together from predators and other hazards. Researchers still consider animals monogamous if they occasionally mate with another.

The researchers studied five pairs of closely related species—four mammals, two birds, two frogs and two fish—each with one monogamous and one non-monogamous member. These five pairs represent five times in the evolution of vertebrates that monogamy independently arose, such as when the non-monogamous meadow voles and their close relatives the monogamous prairie voles diverged into two separate species.

At least five times during the past 450 million years, evolution used a kind of universal formula for turning animals monogamous -- turning up the activity of some genes (red) and turning down others (blue) in the brain. Researchers studied …more

The researchers compared gene expression in male brains of all 10 species to determine what changes occurred in each of the evolutionary transitions linked to the closely related animals. Despite the complexity of monogamy as a behavior, they found that the same changes in gene expression occurred each time. The finding suggests a level of order in how complex social behaviors come about through the way that genes are expressed in the brain.

This study covers a broader span of evolutionary time than had been explored previously. Other studies have looked at genetic differences related to evolutionary transitions to new traits, but they typically focus on animals separated by, at most, tens of millions of years of evolution, as opposed to the hundreds of millions of years examined with this study.

"Most people wouldn't expect that across 450 million years, transitions to such complex behaviors would happen the same way every time," Young said.

The paper's other UT Austin authors are senior author professor Hans Hofmann and professor Steven Phelps. Researchers examined gene activity across the genomes of the 10 species, using RNA-sequencing technology and tissue samples from three individuals of each species. The scientists detected gene-activity patterns across species using bioinformatics software and the Texas Advanced Computing Center's Wrangler data-intensive supercomputer. Arranging genes from distantly related species—such as a fish and a mammal—into groups based on sequence similarities, the team was able to identify the common evolutionary formula that led to pair bonds and co-parenting in the five species that behave monogamously.

How do we know if any animal is monogamous?

How do we know for sure if any animal is truly monogamous? Perhaps monogamy isn’t present anywhere in nature, but some species are better at hiding it? For example, scientists used to think redwinged blackbirds were monogamous until they did genetic testing on the offspring to determine that their parents were different than what was expected. This apparently continued into other species and other species were also found to be not as monogamous as once thought.

House takes symbolic vote on taxes, talks go on

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The House of Representatives, in the waning days of Democratic control, on Thursday passed an extension of Bush-era tax cuts for the lower and middle class in a symbolic vote that would let tax cuts for the wealthiest expire.

Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) (R) and Representative Mike Pence (R-IN) attend a news conference about their goal of permanently extending Bush-era tax rates at the Capitol in Washington, December 2, 2010. REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst

The measure, which passed 234 to 188, is expected to die in the Senate, where Republicans have the votes to block it. Twenty Democrats voted against the House bill and three Republicans voted for it.

Despite the likely outcome, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said he will hold a vote on the House bill, though the timing is uncertain.

Most Democrats say Republicans were willing to jeopardize low tax rates for middle- and lower-income taxpayers to ensure low taxes for the wealthiest Americans.

The tax cuts were signed into law by former President George W. Bush in 2001 and 2003 and are set to expire December 31.

“The Republicans want to continue to keep middle-income tax cuts hostage until it is combined with upper-income tax cuts,” said Democratic Representative Sander Levin, head of the tax-writing panel in the House.

Republicans countered that allowing any tax rates to rise would threaten the economy, which is suffering from high unemployment rates.

The House action comes as congressional leaders and the Obama administration negotiate behind closed doors for a compromise that would allow Congress to extend tax rates before they expire at year’s end.

“The talks are ongoing and productive, but any reports that we are near a deal in the tax cut negotiations are inaccurate and premature,” said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs.

On Capitol Hill, senior Democratic aides said they did not expect any significant progress until at least next week.

Another aide said many Democrats are worried the White House will not stand up to Republicans.

“There’s a growing concern that the White House won’t fight hard enough for the middle class and will cave (on extending tax cuts for wealthier Americans) without getting much in return, other than perhaps a Senate vote” on a stalled U.S.-Russian arms treaty, the aide said.

Democrats fear negotiations will go much as they did over the past two years on health care and the economic stimulus package, with President Barack Obama making concessions without getting much, if anything, in return from Republicans, the aide said.

The top House Republican blasted Thursday’s vote on renewing only lower-tax rates as political maneuvering that would undermine the bipartisan talks.

“This is nonsense, all right? The election was one month ago,” said John Boehner, who is in line to become House speaker when Republicans take over in January.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and White House budget chief Jacob Lew met with two Republicans and two Democrats twice on Wednesday on the tax issue. Administration officials returned to the Capitol on Thursday.

The meeting ended with participants saying they were still working and would meet again in coming days.

Obama repeated his optimism that a deal could be reached. He has indicated a willingness to compromise in recent weeks, even as Republicans have dug in their heels.

“I believe it will get resolved,” Obama said at an unrelated event. “That doesn’t mean there may not be some posturing over the next several days.”

If no agreement is reached, all tax-paying Americans could face higher bills next year, giving Republicans a chance to score politically by making tax cuts their priority when taking control of the House in January.

Finding common ground before then will be tricky.

Many people, including some Democratic aides who asked not to be identified, believe a one-to-three year extension of all the Bush-era rates is the most likely scenario.

In exchange, Obama administration officials hope to win Republican consent to an extension of long-term unemployment insurance and to Senate ratification of the New START nuclear treaty with Russia.

They are also pushing to extend a tax credit for employers who hire workers previously unemployed and renewal of a credit for working individuals who make less than $75,000 a year, according to administration officials.

Any deal is likely to be coupled with an extension of business and individual tax breaks that have expired this year, including a research and development tax credit.

Division among Democrats has weakened their position. A few dozen conservative Democrats back the Republican stance that lower tax rates for all income groups should be extended.

They say raising taxes would hurt job growth and the economic recovery.

Most Democrats, however, say the United States cannot afford the tax cuts for the wealthy — estimated at $700 billion over 10 years — and that the wealthiest are not likely to spend the extra cash in any event.

LydiaAshworth's review of TravelWheels www.travelwheels.com.au

“I would recommend to my friends!”

Written on: 12/09/2014 by LydiaAshworth (1 review written)

I had a good time with Travelwheels! I rented the van for 3 people and I thought it was clean and driveable! We did Sydney to Melbourne in 2 weeks so we didn't rush, we took our time. At first we wanted to do it in 1 weeks but the French girl told us that we would not enjoy everything. We listened to her and seriously she was right! 2 weeks is the minimum to enjoy the trip!
One day, one of the light for oil appeared but when I contacted their office, they told me it was totally fine to drive with. After that I never saw the light again and had a nice time! I would recommend this company to my friends and I think some people here are way to hard on Travelwheels!

Galena has hired Beau Walker as its baseball coach, athletic director Greg Sakelaris announced Thursday.

Walker played baseball at Wooster and was the catcher on the 2002 Colts team that won the state title.

He previously was the head coached at North Valleys for three seasons (2010-12) and was an assistant coach at Wooster for seven years before that.

The past three years Walker has been giving lessons and umpiring baseball.

He said umpiring gave him a unique perspective and ultimately led him back into wanting to be a coach.

“I'm really excited to be part of the Grizzly family,” Walker said. “I've been a part of Northern Nevada baseball for a long time and it's been a dream of mine to coach at Galena.”

Walker takes over at Galena for Dave Kulikowski, who stepped down as coach over the summer.

“I bring a lot of knowledge and excitement to the program, and I've been working on putting together a strong staff that is committed to developing baseball players,” Walker said.

Walker said he has brought in Matt Pagni as pitching coach and Galena alum Tony Thompson as infield and hitting coach.

“Beau is going to be a great fit at Galena and we are looking forward to seeing his high energy and enthusiasm for the game this coming Spring,” Sakelaris wrote in an email to the RGJ.

Greensville County VA Traffic Lawyer

greensville va traffic lawyers riley & wells succesfully defend clients in the greensville courtsGreensville County is along the Interstate 95 corridor, which generates a high volume of traffic on any given day. The Virginia State Troopers and Greensville County Deputy Sheriffs strictly enforce the traffic laws of this county. In fact, a motorist can be convicted of Reckless Driving for speeding as little as 11 miles per hour over the limit on Interstate 95. This is due to the fact that Virginia law has long classified evidence of speed in excess of 80 miles per hour to be a reckless driving violation. The Code of Virginia also classifies various other driving behaviors as traffic violations. A conviction for any traffic violation can severely jeopardize your freedom, your career, and your driving record. In Virginia, convictions are permanent, will remain on the driving record for several years, and cannot be expunged. Do not miss an opportunity to defend yourself.

If you have been accused of a traffic violation in Greensville County, then you need an accomplished Greensville County VA Traffic Lawyer who defends traffic law cases every day. Many of these traffic law offenses are punishable as criminal offenses as follows:

  • Maximum fine of $2,500
  • Suspension or Revocation of driving privileges
  • Assessment of moving violation demerit points
  • Increased automobile insurance premiums
  • Employment issues
  • Incarceration

Successful Greensville County Traffic Lawyer Case Review

Out of Town Speeding Shocker! 5.0 stars Posted by Chris September 19, 2014 We live in New York and I was driving the family down to Myrtle Beach. I received a speeding ticket for driving 85mph in a 70mph zone going around Richmond. The officer mentioned that over 80mph was considered reckless driving in VA. This stuck in the back of my mind. After contacting the court, I was shocked to find out that the charge of Reckless Driving is a Class 1 Misdemeanor. I decided to hire an attorney and went to AVVO. After reading the reviews I decided to go with Mitchell Wells. I called him and he could not have been nicer or more knowledgeable. His team makes the process simple and puts your nerves at ease. The outcome was a defective equipment, no points, non-moving traffic infraction. It is tough to find an out of town lawyer. This is the guy you should use!

Greensville County Traffic Lawyers DUI and Refusal Nolle Prosequi

Our Greensville County traffic lawyers represented a client who was involved in an accident. He was arrested for DUI at the scene of the accident. At the station, our client provided numerous breath samples for the Breath Test machine to analyze. For unknown reasons, the machine would not completely analyze our client’s breath and produce a result. The trooper also charged our client with Refusal.

Our attorneys thoroughly and completely analyzed our client’s case and discovered the breath test evidence flaw in the case. We presented our theory of the case, flaws with the breath test machine in this case, and how the state trooper improperly operated the machine to the Commonwealth Attorney. She agreed with our assessment and legal analysis and dropped or nolle prosequi both allegations against our client.

Exceptional Traffic Lawyers in Greensville County Virginia

greensville va traffic lawyers represent clients in the greensville courthouseA Greensville County traffic violation issued on a Virginia Uniform Summons can either be a misdemeanor or a traffic infraction. Technically, according to Virginia law, traffic infractions are considered “pre-payable” but misdemeanors are not “pre-payable.” “Pre-payable” means the defendant motorist can pay the ticket without having to retain a lawyer and without having to appear in court. CAUTION: If you simply pay the Virginia Uniform Summons, then you will be found guilty of the allegation. It is also important that you actually read the Virginia Uniform Summons before you do anything. There are many instances where the traffic ticket will allege a misdemeanor offense that is often pre-paid by the defendant motorist, only to learn later after it is too late that serious consequences have kicked in. Never pay a ticket without at least consulting a Greensville County Traffic Lawyer first. In most cases, we can resolve our client’s case in a manner that protects them from the harsh penalties of the allegation and can often do so without our client having to return to Greensville County VA for the trial. We work hard  for our clients and strive to obtain the best possible result in every case.

Tommaso Ciampa Says Edge Wants To Be In Control Of His Final Match

Tommaso Ciampa made his return to NXT last week and now he is medically cleared for in-ring competition. There are also signs pointing to Edge possibly getting cleared for a return as well.

While speaking to WWE’s The Bump, Tommaso Ciampa discussed a friendship with Edge that formed due to his neck surgery. He stated that both he and Edge wanted to be in control of their last matches.

This is something that looks even more promising for both of them especially in light of recent events.

“Yeah, Edge was the first one to do so. He’s probably the one I talk to most about it. X-Pac has had neck surgery as well. Edge kinda had a joke about it on social media that it’s the brotherhood or sisterhood of the neck once somebody goes through it you know what that person’s going through. It’s just being there for that person and let them know, ‘Yeah this is normal, this is what to expect more so mentally than physically. Between Edge and Steve Corino those were the two main guys I was in contact with over the journey, Edge being probably my number one guy because our paths were very similar about how the injury came about.”

“We were both on top in some degree when it happened and the hardest part of it is that you want to be in control of your last match. That’s the thing now and I know Edge that was a big thing for him.”

“That was big for me because my last matches were tag matches on the RAW and SmackDown shows with Sheamus and Cesaro and then an NXT one with Aleister and Ricochet and just none of them, they weren’t as I envisioned them. That’s the part that you kinda have trouble digesting because you just wanna be in control of your own career.”

Edge tried to squash rumors of his return, but this latest statement from Tommaso Ciampa won’t help that cause.

Perhaps Edge will end up wrestling again by the time everything’s said and done. Either way, Ciampa is back in NXT and on the path to reclaim Goldie once again.
