By . Michael Gadd For Mailonline . Benidorm is the fastest growing destination for British holidaymakers for this coming bank holiday with the Spanish seaside resort town boasting a 164 per cent increase in departures compared to last year. Spain, Portugal, Greece and Turkey continue to top the figures for bank holiday popularity, according to figures from travel comparison website TravelSupermarket. The news isn't so sunny for Crete, Ibiza and the Black Sea, however, destinations which have all recorded significant drops in popularity over the past year. Best for British: Benidorm is 164 per cent more popular for the August bank holiday than it was last year . Old favourite: The perennial short break go-to destination is booming, says website TravelSupermarket . It's not just golden rays and sands being sought out for short breaks with Barcelona, Disneyland Paris, Paris and Amsterdam among the top 20 destinations being searched for with departure dates between August 20 and 23. Last year only Barcelona made the same list while Dubai and the Middle East have dropped out of the top 20 altogether. France is a hot destination as well this weekend, with Nice (156 per cent), Paris (104 per cent) and Disneyland Paris (76 per cent) all attracting more interest than in 2013. Sun-downer: Crete has suffered a 90 per cent drop in departures compared to last year . Benidorm – up 164% . Nice – up 156% . Halkidiki – up 119% . Paris – up 104% . Tuscany – up 91% . Mykonos – up 86% . Valencia – up 83% . Brussels – up 81% . Dublin – up 77% . Euro Disney – up 76% . Lake Como – up 72% . Jamaica – up 66% . Marrakech – up 66% . Corsica – up 65% . Florence – up 64% . Barcelona – up 62% . Bourgas – up 61% . Corfu – up 60% . Copenhagen – up 58% . Amsterdam – 58% . Crete – down 90% . Ibiza – down 68% . Varna – down 57% . Dalaman – down 55% . Costa Dorada – down 55% . Costa Blanca – down 44% . Caribbean – down 42% . Gran Canaria – down 34% . Costa Brava – down 32% . Cyprus East – down 31% . Rhodes – down 31% . Alicante – down 28% . Bali – down 27% . Krakow – down 26% . Sri Lanka – down 24% . Skiathos – down 23% . Los Angeles – down 23% . Cuba – down 22% . Vienna – down 18% . New York – down 18% . Benidorm is the undisputed king of the Costas, however, with Costa Dorada (down 55 per cent), the wider Costa Blanca area (down 44 per cent) and the Costa Brava (down 32 per cent) recording drops in interest. TravelSupermarket spokesman Bob Atkinson said: 'With the Bank Holiday weekend here and many looking to get that last chance for a break before the long run into Christmas, it’s interesting to see so many people switching back into both the short break market, as well as value-led destinations in Europe and Egypt for their overseas holidays.' 'With the economy appearing to be strengthening, those who have put off taking extra or second holidays are embracing the chance for a few days away in places that are familiar, yet not too much of a stretch on the budget. Vive la France: Nice has enjoyed a 156 per cent rise in searches with Paris and Disneyland Paris also popular . 'And our love of eternal classics such as Benidorm, the Canary Islands, Balearics and the Algarve seems to be re-enforced this bank holiday, with getting more holiday for less money, high on the agenda for Brits. There are no long haul destinations in this year’s top 20, however Atkinson expects to see a rise in interest for locations such as Dubai and the Caribbean, along with Florida, New York and Las Vegas, when the sun well and truly disappears in the UK.

The bourgeoisie could be termed revolutionary in the sense that this class overturned the feudal society and took dominance over the previously dominant classes (nobility and clergy). This is stated in chapter 1 of the manifesto.\n\nThe proletariat is revolutionary in the sense that it will overturn the social order once more and create a communist order.\n\nRevolution is not so much the battle of one group against the other. Marx and Engels recognise it as a SOCIAL FORCE that drives history and social development.

This paper shows that monetary policy and prudential policies interact. U.S. banks issue more commercial and industrial loans to emerging market borrowers when U.S. monetary policy eases. The effect is less pronounced for banks that are more constrained through the U.S. bank stress tests, reflected in a lower minimum capital ratio in the severely adverse scenario. This suggests that monetary policy spillovers depend on banks? capital constraints. In particular, during a period of quantitative easing when liquidity is abundant, banks are more flexible, and the scope for adjusting lending is larger when they have a bigger capital buffer. We conjecture that bank lending to emerging markets during the zero-lower bound period would have been even higher had the United States not introduced stress tests for their banks.

Here is the latest in creative financing from Goldman Sachs: the prices it charges its own employees to use the gym at its West Street headquarters. It's asking its highest-ranking employees to pay $81 more a month than its lowest-ranking staff, Reuters' Felix Salmon reports. While the bank can argue that it is just charging based on what the market will bear, others are already launching conspiracies. "Is it a Pigovian tax aimed at minimizing the number of healthy employees?" Salmon asks. "Is it an attempt to stop the unfit from complaining about having to cross-subsidize those who work out?" Planet Money lobbed in a phone call to Goldman-- which hasn't yet responded to our request for enlightenment on its thinking. UPDATE: A Goldman spokeswoman declined to comment. Read More: Price Discrimination And The Cutting Edge of Finance As any student of Economics 101 could tell you, this is price discrimination at work-- charging different amounts to various groups based on their willingness to pay. Airlines do it every day. But looked at another way, it appears to be just the kind of sock-it-to-the rich tax those in Goldman's managing-director bracket are hoping to avoid as Congress debates repealing Bush-era tax cuts. For the gym's managers, that group is the perfect clientele to court. After all, they pay almost $1000 more a year than the more lowly employees, and presumably are too busy to spend much time sullying towels at the gym. You can see pictures and read an entertaining analysis of the Goldman health club here, thanks to bloggers at Social Workout. Despite the downturn, about 30%-40% of large companies provide some kind of employee health club benefit, estimates Cindy Matalamaki, a spokeswoman at human-resources company Ceridian. And with its salary-based pricing for gym membership, once again Goldman proves it is on the cutting edge of finance. "I wouldn’t say that it’s commonplace," Matalamaki says, "But I think it has started to become more of a trend."

The world’s last surviving male northern white rhinoceros, Sudan, died Monday at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy (OPC) in Kenya, potentially dooming the species to extinction. The only known surviving members of the species are two females, Najin and Fatu, who are Sudan’s daughter and granddaughter respectively. The animal was suffering from age-related issues that gave him skin wounds, and also caused degeneration of the bones and muscles. In the last 24 hours before his death, he was suffering greatly and couldn’t even stand, due to an infection in his right hind leg, leading his veterinary team to make the decision to euthanize him. The species (there is still ongoing debate whether it is a distinct species or a subspecies of the white rhinoceros) is called Ceratotherium simum cottoni and is thought to have gone extinct in the wild over 10 years ago, even though it is still listed as critically endangered (possible extinct in the wild) in the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species, an entry that was last updated in 2011. Sudan was used as a poster-boy by OPC during a fund-raising campaign it did last year with Tinder, in which the rhino was called “the most eligible bachelor in the world” and proceeds from which would go toward research on artificial reproductive techniques for the animals. Given his age and other complications, Sudan was unable to mate with either of the two females. And even if that had been successful, there were concerns about the species’ longevity due to inbreeding, and a narrowing gene pool. Photo: Reuters/Baz Ratner Genetic material from Sudan was collected before he died, in the hope that medical breakthroughs of the future would allow using that to birth northern white rhinos. These techniques could involve individuals from the closely related species, the southern white rhinoceros (both of these are regarded by some taxonomists as subspecies of the white rhinoceros species), used as surrogates. After being caught in the wild at the age of 3, Sudan spent much of his life in the Dvůr Králové Zoo in the Czech Republic, which also owns the surviving females of the species. All three animals (and another, who died in 2014) were moved to OPC in 2009 as part of a breeding program, in the hope that a more natural environment may induce the animals to procreate. All surviving northern white rhinos were watched by armed wardens round the clock. “We on Ol Pejeta are all saddened by Sudan’s death. He was a great ambassador for his species and will be remembered for the work he did to raise awareness globally of the plight facing not only rhinos, but also the many thousands of other species facing extinction as a result of unsustainable human activity. One day, his demise will hopefully be seen as a seminal moment for conservationists world-wide,” Richard Vigne, CEO of the conservancy, said reacting to Sudan’s death. Some other well-known names also expressed their disappointment.

Reno, Nevada (CNN) -- Sarah Palin warned Monday that the mainstream Republican Party must embrace the core conservative principles of the Tea Party movement or disappear. In comments to CNN at a Tea Party Express rally to kick off its fourth national tour, Palin said the Republican Party machine realizes how the Tea Party movement's "we the people" message has resonated on the political right, as well as with independents and moderates. The message emphasizes free market principles and individual and state powers instead of expanded federal powers. "Heaven forbid the GOP machine strays from this message," said the former Alaska governor and unsuccessful Republican vice presidential candidate. "If so, the GOP is through." Her comments, in response to the question of whether the Tea Party movement is dividing the Republican Party, showed how Palin and other Tea Party leaders are trying to galvanize the political right by bringing their supporters together with the traditional GOP structures. Tea Party-backed candidates have defeated mainstream Republican candidates, including several congressional incumbents, in several primaries across the country this year. In some cases, the Tea Party victories have harmed Republican chances for victory. For example, Palin backed Christine O'Donnell over nine-term Republican Rep. Mike Castle, a former governor, in Delaware's GOP Senate primary. Castle was considered a likely general election winner, but the primary upset by the inexperienced and controversial O'Donnell now makes a Democratic victory likely in the November 2 vote. In her speech at Monday's rally, Palin said the Republican Party should "man up" and support Tea Party candidates such as O'Donnell, who has been criticized by some Republican figures, including longtime strategist Karl Rove. "The bigwigs in the machine, they're driving me crazy because they're too chicken to support the Tea Party candidates," Palin said at Monday's rally. "The ideas of the Tea Party movement are the American ideals that will put us back to work." Palin to GOP: 'Man up' She also told the crowd to support Tea Party candidates for the good of America's future. In her comments to CNN, Palin called for Republican moderates and independents to embrace the "time-tested truths" of "commonsense" conservative principles, but she also noted that "the planks in the GOP platform really are the strongest, most solid planks to build a strong economy, because it's all about entrepreneurial spirit and equal prosperity and opportunity according to a work ethic." Her speech Monday followed an appearance Saturday in California with Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele. The Tea Party Express tour, titled "Liberty at the Ballot Box," is the group's fourth since 2009 and their last of the 2010 election cycle. Their prime tactic is to crisscross the country urging voters to oust Democrats from office and purge the Republican Party of members deemed "RINOs," or "Republicans in Name Only," considered not conservative enough. It will make 30 stops over 15 days, ending in Concord, New Hampshire, one day before the critical congressional elections. Monday's crowd was considerably smaller than the last rally Palin kicked off for the Tea Party Express, in Searchlight, Nevada, in March. Palin has lent political star power and considerable time helping to spread the message of Tea Party movement, which includes smaller government, lower taxes, deflating a bloated federal deficit and urging lawmakers toward more faithful adherence to the Constitution. She and other supporters of the movement staunchly support Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle in the race against the top Democrat in the Senate: Majority Leader Harry Reid. Polls show the race between the two candidates to be essentially deadlocked. Democrats continue to push their own strategy to smack back the bids of Tea Party candidates. Vice President Joe Biden will campaign for Reid in Reno on Wednesday, and President Barack Obama will appear at fundraisers on Reid's behalf on Friday.

I wanted an extra Speedlight foot/stand as I might add an inexpensive unit to my bag. I have a Nikon SB-700 Speedlight and it comes with the Nikon AS-22 stand, which you can buy on Amazon for more than three times what this one costs. This one is very much like the Nikon version. Slightly larger -- maybe a half inch longer and the width is the same. Has the same little hole in the slot so that the locking pin on the Speedlight will lock onto the stand. Has a metal threaded nut in the bottom of the stand so that you can screw it onto a light stand. On the Nikon stand that's plastic! Nice product and, for the price, how could you possibly go wrong?

DETROIT (AP) -- Andre Drummond had 23 points and 20 rebounds, and Blake Griffin made a key 3-pointer in the final minute to lift the Detroit Pistons to a 111-107 victory over the Miami Heat on Saturday night. Ish Smith added 25 points for the Pistons, including a late 3-pointer of his own. Detroit has won three in a row, the last two with Griffin in the lineup after acquiring him in a trade. Griffin's 3-pointer with 44 seconds to play put the Pistons ahead 108-101, but Goran Dragic responded with a four-point play, making a 3-pointer while being fouled with 32 seconds left. Detroit ran the clock down on the next possession, and Smith sank his only 3-point attempt of the game, from the right corner with 14 seconds to play. Dragic scored 33 points for the Heat, who have lost three in a row. Miami was without center Hassan Whiteside, who was out with an illness. Smith, who has struggled at times while trying to replace injured point guard Reggie Jackson, went 11 of 14 from the field and finished three points shy of his career high. His previous season high was 19 points. Griffin had 16 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. TIP-INS Heat: Kelly Olynyk and Josh Richardson scored 19 points for the Heat, and James Johnson added 18. Pistons: Langston Galloway scored 13 points, surpassing 2,000 for his career. ... Detroit was without G Luke Kennard (foot) and G Dwight Buycks (illness). BIG NIGHT Drummond had at least 20 points and 20 rebounds for the sixth time this season. He has 19 20-20 games since 2012-13. He also had four steals, four blocks and six turnovers. Copyright Associated Press 2018. All rights reserved.

I expect a two-component epoxy resin will work best, like two-component glue that hardens quickly when mixed, or the material used to make light boats float when capsized. When kept separate, both components are liquid, but once mixed, they quickly harden. Thiols react quickly with epoxides at room temperature and might be the answer you are looking for, though you should consider the toxicity of exopy.

Hints: 1) The key sentence is the volume charge density $\rho$ [...] does increase with distance from the sphere center. 2) From Gauss' law in integral form $\Phi_E=\frac{Q}{\epsilon}$, one gets $$\tag{1} 4\pi r^2 \cdot E(r)~=~ \frac{1}{\epsilon}\int_0^r\! 4\pi r^{\prime 2} dr^{\prime} ~ \rho(r^{\prime}). $$ 3) To get the idea, say for simplicity that the increase is linear $$\tag{2} \rho(r)~\propto~r\qquad \text{for}\qquad r~\leq~ R. $$ 4) Use eqs.

Second in a two-part report. The Ozark region, covering most of southern Missouri and northern Arkansas, has long been a haven for white supremacists. The area is home to the neo-Nazi accused of killing three people at Jewish centers near Kansas City, Kan., in April. The region continues to grapple with a culture that has historically turned a blind eye to bigotry. That fight is particularly concentrated in Harrison, Ark. Most residents seem to love their quiet little town. Terry Stambaugh, who retired here after a career with FedEx, says it's one of the most welcoming and loving and places he's ever seen. "But what the rest of the world sees of Harrison, Ark., isn't what I found," he says. Instead, "it's the portrayal of a hotbed of hate." Riots and murder drove more than 100 black residents from Harrison in the early 1900s, and it became a notorious "sundown town," a perilous place for African-Americans after dark. Harrison's mayor, Jeff Crockett, is trying hard to lay the town's reputation to rest. Last month, near city hall, the town "buried racism and hatred," he says. And it did it in style — with a funeral march, a handmade casket and civil rights speeches. The ceremony, attended by regional civil rights leaders and local residents, was part of a sustained effort here to press an uncomfortable conversation about race. Addressing Bigotry That 'Didn't Go Away' That effort runs against the grain of some citizens, who Crockett says repeat the same objection year after year: "If you just leave it alone, it'd go away." "Well, they left it alone for so long, and it didn't go away," Crockett says. That's partly because of some of very outspoken people based in Harrison, like Mike Hallimore, director of Kingdom Identity Ministries. The group, Hallimore says, believes "in the government of God on Earth — theocracy according to God's laws." Those laws, he says, call for execution in cases of blasphemy, abortion or homosexuality. He preaches that Jews are descended from Satan and that only absolutely pure-blooded Caucasians enjoy what most would call a soul. The Southern Poverty Law Center says tens of thousands follow Hallimore's ministry online. Like most prominent white supremacists in the Ozarks, Hallimore is a transplant. He moved here from California. "I like rural living for one thing," he says. "But of course I like that it's predominantly white." Hallimore is not the only one. At the library in Harrison, lots of people seem to know Thom Robb, a pleasant-looking, middle-aged fellow who runs the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. "I have identified myself as a Gandhi of the White Nationalist Movement," he says. Robb says he doesn't hate black people. He just loves white people so much, he says, that he doesn't abide so-called race mixing. Robb says he likes the name recognition the KKK label offers. He sells Klan shirts, hats and jewelry on his website. The three letters generate Web traffic for Robb, but headaches for the town. "Harrison isn't the only nice, white community in the country. There are many," he says. "Harrison gets the attention because I happen to live here." In reality, while his KKK post office box is in Harrison, Robb, like Hallimore, actually lives in a neighboring community. He moved in from Arizona decades ago, for some of the same reasons Hallimore chose the area. But now, Robb says that Crockett and his supporters are trying to mess it up. "They are promoting white genocide," he says. "They want to take a nice city, with no problems, and do something — change it!" Dueling Billboards Carolyn Cline is one of the founders of Harrison's Community Task Force on Race Relations. The group formed a decade ago precisely to change not just the image but also the nature, of Harrison — methodically and respectfully. "Because you can never change either a perception, or an individual's worldview, by going to them and explaining to them [that] they're wrong," Cline says. The president of the Chamber of Commerce, Patty Methvin, is another charter member of the task force. "For economic development, it's huge," she says of the effort. "In order to promote Harrison for companies to come in, we want to be able to recruit the brightest and the best, no matter who they are." By some measures, it's working. Alice Sanders, an African-American who moved here from Washington state, joined the task force and has made a point of speaking with lots of people. "I have not had any problem with seeing any signs of racism," she says. "Of course, I haven't looked that hard for it." If she did, she'd see it. There is, literally, a sign of racism — a big, yellow one, right on the main highway. It says, "Anti-Racist is a Code Word for Anti-White." "I really find it offensive," says Stambaugh, a member of the race relations task force. The group considered putting up its own sign, reading, "You Can't Fix Stupid," but decided on something more positive. "We have a couple of billboards around town that simply say, 'Love you

The United States and South Korea have agreed to resume joint military drills early next month, the Pentagon said, a move that was expected despite US President Donald Trump’s planned meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. Seoul and Washington said in January they would delay the annual exercises, known as Key Resolve and Foal Eagle, until after the Olympics and Paralympics held in South Korea, helping to create conditions for a resumption of talks between South and North Korea, which sees the drills as a rehearsal for invasion. The exercises are expected to begin on April 1, and will be of a “scale similar to that of the previous years,” the US military said in a statement late on Monday. “Our combined exercises are defence-oriented and there is no reason for North Korea to view them as a provocation,” Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Logan, a Pentagon spokesman, said in a separate statement. The Pentagon said the North Korean military had been notified about the schedule for the drills by the United Nations Command. Logan said the drills were expected to conclude toward the end of May. Logan said the two joint drills, which include computer simulations and field exercises, would involve about 23,700 US troops and 300,000 South Korea forces. He said they had been long planned and were not a response to any specific North Korean actions or the current situation on the Korean Peninsula. After the announcement of the postponement of the drills in January, Pyongyang agreed to hold the first official talks with Seoul in more than two years and to send athletes to the Winter Olympics, easing a stand-off over North Korea’s development of nuclear weapons. The intra-Korean talks led to a visit this month by a South Korean delegation to Pyongyang for a meeting with the North Korean leader. The delegation said Kim committed to denuclearisation and expressed eagerness to meet Trump as soon as possible, an offer the president quickly accepted. South Korean official have said Kim is expected to meet with South Korean President Moon Jae-in in April before meeting Trump before the end of May. The head of the South Korean delegation also said that Kim had said he understood that the joint US-South Korean exercises had to continue. North Korea has angrily denounced the drills in the past. Pyongyang has not confirmed the reported remarks by Kim to the South Korean delegation and threatened earlier in the month to “counter the US” if the exercises went ahead. In January, US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis said the decision to delay the drills was because of logistical concerns, since many South Korean security forces would be occupied with protecting the Olympics. In 2017, the joint drills ran from March 1 to April 30, and included the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier. A US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said no US aircraft carrier would take part this year, which he said was according to plan and not related to the political situation.

With a fixed rate, whether market prices go up or down, yours will remain the same. With a capped rate, prices will change in line with the market, but will not go over a set limit. So if market prices go down, your rate will go down, but if market prices go up, your rate will not rise above the cap.

it looked like a good idea. But, when the package only comes 1/3 full its hard to know what this would have been like

For some reason the big box home improvement stores don't carry the cheaper disposers, and they are only available online. What's up with that? After trying twice to order from HD online (first they didn't process it, then they scheduled delivery 3 months out), I ordered this for the same price and free immediate delivery. The ratings for this also were better than the HD model I was trying to buy. Easy to install, and works fine, and is very quiet. Unless you are trying to grind bones or other weird stuff, it should be fine for you.

I've never heard of this. If i'm not mistaken, Gearbox released a update where the stats of the Seraph Weapons would be increased. There were some complaints on how weak those guns are. Considering that there are purple weapons with higher stats, 120 seraph crystals for one seraph weapon? Not a fair trade, in my opinion. I'd do some legendary weapons farming instead. I know there's the thrill on killing some raid bosses, but sometimes it could be very frustating, specially if you're playing solo.

The boy suffered a broken wrist when he fell onto the M49, near Bristol. Driver Tudor West and coach owner Keith Jones, both of Bridgend, deny charges relating to dangerous driving after the teenager - part of a rugby team - was injured, on 16 May last year. Mr West told Bristol Crown Court he had asked the team to wear seatbelts but they "had not put them on". The court was told the bus had passed its MOT a month before the incident, but as part of the accident investigation it was inspected and "nine defects were identified". During the hearing, the jury was played a video showing an inspector pushing the coach door "lightly with his hand" before it opened. But in the court, Mr West acted out his "normal morning routine" on the stand. He showed the jury how, on the day of the accident, he had opened and closed the emergency rear exit and had then put all of his weight against it. When asked how he thought the door had opened, allowing the the 13-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, to fall onto the motorway, Mr West said: "I don't know, all I know is that it wouldn't have happened on that morning." Tudor West denies dangerous driving and driving a vehicle in a dangerous condition. Coach company owner Keith Jones denies permitting the driving of a vehicle in a dangerous condition, and aiding and abetting dangerous driving. The trial continues.

It is middle eastern, and it's roots precede islam. There are many forms / places where it is not sexualized like it is when run through a western filter. That said, the cultures in _most_ middle eastern countries and cities are probably not as you imagine. The night life in Amman is rich and exciting and filled with tight outfits, as sexy as you'd find in NYC. The party culture in Beirut is wilder than anything in the U.S., at least in my experience. While other countries - saudi arabia being the obvious example - do not have this dimension to their culture, the actual cultures of the middle east and of countries that are primarily islamic are quite varied.

MORINVILLE, Alta. — Once upon a time, in a town north of Edmonton, there was a man who dreamed of building something magical. After a year of construction, using $3 million from his own pocket, Robert Chauvet turned a Morinville parking lot into a scene out of a fairy tale. There’s a fantastical structure with a wavy roof, curved wooden doors and — as his story goes — a chimney squashed by a giant. “I’ve always been fascinated by the imagination and creative minds of children,” says the 71-year-old father, grandfather and retired owner of a construction company. “Everybody builds houses. And whether you build 10 or 1,000, basically you’re just a house-builder. It doesn’t leave anything special behind.” Because Chauvet wanted children to enjoy his final building project in the town of 9,800, he had it designed as a daycare. He rents it out to the Fable Child Care Centre, which opened in June. “The kids always seem happy here,” says father Dave Brooks, as he helps two-year-old Hadley wiggle out of her jacket during a morning drop-off. Brooks thinks the daycare resembles more of a hobbit house from “Lord of the Rings.” Most of the arched doors are adult-sized, except for one leading into the toddlers’ room. Parents and workers have to duck to pass through. In another room, there’s a cavernous children’s bathroom and on the wall next to it a picture of a squirming raccoon waiting for its turn. Fairies and bunnies are painted on walls, and tree branches stretch into clouds on the ceiling, perfect for nap time. “It’s a blessing to come to work every day,” says daycare operator Bonnie Provost. “Kids and families love it.” With a capacity for 85 children, the centre is just over half full. And by next year, it could also be bustling with brides. Chauvet and his wife, Hien Ho, hope an upstairs rental space and outside flower garden will make a happily-ever-after venue for weddings and photo shoots. As the couple walk along the garden’s path, they point to a waterfall and behind it a hidden door where a gnome lives. Chauvet says he’s especially proud of the roof’s curvy shingles that workers spent seven months cutting by hand. He’s also pleased with children’s artwork that is outlined in the lead-glass windows and scratched into the cement foundation. He recounts how one burly concrete worker happily spent time on his hands and knees stamping and painting bears and butterflies into the stone work. Also along the path are sculptures of seven children Chauvet says helped make his dream come true. “The kids built the daycare with the help of an old carpenter,” he chuckles.

(CNN) -- Monday's 2009 Major League Baseball home opener for the New York Mets at their new ballpark promises to reignite controversy -- and not just over the team's suspect pitching. Some Mets fans feel the $400 million stadium-name deal is a bad one for all parties in these economic times. Though the Mets played exhibition games there earlier this month, they will officially debut their new home, Citi Field, against the visiting San Diego Padres. The $800 million-plus Queens facility is undoubtedly a state-of-the-art baseball complex with many modern upgrades from the Mets' home for the past 44 years, Shea Stadium, which is still in the process of being demolished a few hundreds yards away. One lifelong Mets fan summed up his emotions about saying goodbye to Shea and hello to Citi by saying: "It was time for a new stadium, but I'm going to miss Shea very much." The controversy arises not from the disappearance of the venerated old stadium but from the fact that rather than attach the iconic Shea name to the new ballpark, in November 2006 the Mets entered into an agreement with Citigroup for naming rights for the new stadium. Reports have put the value of the deal at $400 million spread out in payments of $20 million per year over the course of the next 20 years. That would make it one of the most lucrative stadium naming arrangements in history. According to the Mets, besides the naming rights for Citi Field, "The fully integrated partnership includes Citi brand and business unit presence throughout the new ballpark." While other corporations have invested in similar deals in the past, the financial crisis has focused particular attention on Citigroup, the Mets, and the practice of paying vast sums of money for what is essentially a long-term advertisement. Citigroup, which now does business as Citi, has been the recipient of billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded bailout money over the past year, causing many to question the prudence of $400 million going toward branding Citi Field, especially when Citigroup cut nearly 75,000 jobs in 2008, capped by 50,000 announced in November. Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich, D-Ohio, has been an outspoken critic of the deal. He has called attention to the issue of corporate spending discretion, or lack thereof, particularly when jobs are at risk. "At the same time they're defending this $400 million stadium-naming deal, they lay off 50,000 people. Now, how many people could you employ for $400 million?" The Mets claim that the construction of Citi Field created more than 6,000 temporary full-time equivalent jobs, with approximately 1,000 new positions resulting from ongoing operations at the ballpark. One person whose job isn't at risk is Mets all-star third baseman David Wright. One of the franchise's most popular and marketable players, Wright is careful not to make any "errors" when confronted with the controversy surrounding his new Citi Field home. "I don't comment on things that I don't know about. I'm a baseball player, so I go out there and worry about my swing," he said. Watch fans give views on Citi Field name game » . Kucinich conceded that paying to name a stadium is indeed "great advertising except for one thing, the American taxpayers have invested heavily in these banks and the bailout fund should not be used for this purpose." He advocates that the government, now a direct investor in Citigroup, has the obligation to monitor all aspects of how federal bailout funds are used, which in Kucinich's opinion includes any marketing or promotional endeavors. Not all Mets fans agree. One ardent fan said he's happy his hard-earned tax dollars are going to help fund the Mets' new stadium. "A lot of people pay for advertisements every day. We shouldn't be ashamed of it. Taxpayer money goes to waste on a lot of other things. Let's go Mets, I say!" But another fan said, "If it is indeed our tax money that is actually running the stadium, I wish that I wouldn't have to pay as much money to go see a game." A group of fellow fans, many liking the sound of a "Mets rebate" in these troubling economic times, warmly greeted his idea before an exhibition game against Boston on April 3. David Wright and the rest of the New York Mets, along with 42,000 boisterous fans, will formally open the new ballpark when the first regular-season game there begins at 7 p.m. Monday.

The 35-year-old woman who slept openly with her brother in the filthy bush camp where 30 members of an incest clan were discovered two years ago has been blocked by police from having any contact with two of her young children. Disturbing new details have emerged about the incest cult in which Martha Colt slept with brother Charlie in a 'marital' bed inside a tent on the squalid farm, where open buckets of faeces and urine lay about and where their children - brothers and sisters - had sex with each other. Police successfully took out a two year Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) in Parramatta Local Court on Monday against Ms Colt having any contact with the youngest of her five children, Ruth, 10, and Nadia, 8. Three of the four mothers from whom police and welfare authorities have taken a total of twelve children into care. Seven of the children were fathered by the women's brother, their father or their nephew . Dark tale: It was inside this shed (pictured) where Martha Colt slept openly with her brother Charlie. Charlie has fathered four of Martha's children, who suffered cognitive and developmental delays . Genetic nightmare: Martha Col's family can be sen on the left of the diagram, which shows that four of her children, Albert, Jed, Nadia and Ruth were fathered by a close relative, and Karl by a near relative. It can now be revealed that Charlie, Martha's brother, is the father of her children . Magistrate Margaret McGlynn told the court that although it was important for the Colt children to continue with the court-appointed pseudonyms, 'it is important the public be made aware of situations of this kind in which these children unfortunately found themselves ... children whose birth parents being siblings and many of their relatives being of incestuous relationships of some kind'. Ms McGlynn also cited the allegations of sexual activity between the children. Details included Nadia, who was just six years old when the family commune was uncovered, having sex with her brothers, having sticks inserted into her by her maternal uncle Charlie - who is actually her father - and both her father and mother taking photographs of her vagina. Martha has five children - the two girls, Nadia and Ruth, and three boys, Karl, 13, Jed, 15 and Albert, 16. Betty Colt, 48, and her eldest of her 13 children, Raylene, 31, who also had a child removed from her care during the police raid on the squalid bush block where 28 adults lived communally among open buckets of faeces and urine . Betty and Raylene (pictured) outside Parramatta Court, where magistrate heard their objections in June against being DNA tested to determine thee interrelations between the extended Colt family . It was on this bush block (pictured) outside a quiet country town where the Colt family lived in squalor and children were allowed to run rampant and sexually abuse each other . Following a police raid of the farm, during which officers and welfare workers were horrified at the filthy conditions and the state of the children, all five were removed from Martha Colt's care. They were unable to speak intelligibly, did not understand basic hygiene, had gone to school for the very first time just two weeks earlier and were engaged in sexual activity with each other. Ruth, then aged nine years old, was 'drastically underweight', 'was unable to bathe herself, did not know how to use a toilet or what toilet paper was'. Ruth required urgent dental attention, 'her speech was fragmented and stunted, her features were dysmorphic, she could not read or write'. Betty Colt (pictured) will learn her fate in November, whenMagistrate Mary Ryan, will sentence her in Moss Vale Local Court on recruiting her son, Bobby, 16, to kidnap his younger brother from foster care . Nadia, then aged just six years old, was 'neglected and malnourished, unable to bathe' her hygiene skills were 'primitive'. She 'didn't know how to use a toilet, what toilet paper was, had not seen a toothbrush before. Her teeth were decayed. She had speech delay ... was delayed educationally'. Of the 12 Colt children from the whole Colt clan who were later proven by genetic testing to have 'homozygosity', or identical gene patterns in both parents, seven were found to have closely related parents. Four of those seven children were Martha's. After the twelve children were removed from the farm and taken into care, the remaining members of the Colt family fled. Interviewed by caseworkers, Martha's children told horrific tales of sexual abuse by brothers, uncles and fathers. Nadia told her foster carers that her mother and father took photos of her vagina, that her brothers had licked her vagina and that her maternal uncle Charlie inserted sticks into her. She said her mother Martha slept with Charlie in a bed each night, and that her father's name was Charlie. She said she had watched her mother having sex with Charlie in the tent. The family lived in two dirty caravans and tents inside the large shed, which was the domain of Martha, Charlie and their children. In a clearing on the property were tents, including one called 'the black tent' where most of the sexual offences occurred. Ruth told caseworkers that Albert, then 15 years old, had put his penis 'in her bottom' and that it 'makes her hurt'. Nadia told police child care officers that her brothers had touched her private parts with theirs. Two year ban: The solicitor representing Martha Colt leaves Parramatta Court after NSW Police successfully brought a two-year Apprehended Violence Order against the 35-year-old on behalf  of the youngest of her five children, four of whom were fathered by her brother Charlie . Bother Nadia and Ruth disclosed that while their brother lined up to take turns 'hurting their bottoms' their parents Martha and Charlie had been' watching and laughing'. The living area of the farm 'smelt of urine and faces' and was also populated by about 20 dogs. Since the two young girls were taken into care, they have gained weight, improved in their speech and hygiene and are 'attending the local primary school which they love'. According to court documents, when Martha visited the two girls she was heard to tell them not to speak to 'outsiders' and 'if thy were asked about their family to say "it's none of your business".' Magistrate McGlynn said it was necessary Nadia and Ruth Colt's identities be protected as they made friends at school and remained free from being judged. 'They not only have the obvious emotional scars, but physical ones as well ... being in new schools, having to make friends and to meet the approval of parents of those children.'

Kenneth Tynan - Biography - IMDb Kenneth Tynan Jump to: Overview (4) | Mini Bio (1) | Spouse (2) | Trivia (6) | Personal Quotes (5) Overview (4) Ken Mini Bio (1) Kenneth Tynan was one of the most famous theatrical critics of the 20th Century. He earned his own permanent place in the history of the English theater when he became the first dramaturg of Laurence Olivier , when the great actor finally realized his dream and became the director of the new National Theatre. Tynan's tenure at the National proved controversial, and he was forced to resign after championing Rolf Hochuth's play "Soldaten" ("Soldiers"), which essentially accused Winston Churchill , the wartime Prime Minister, of complicity in the murder of Free Poland's head of state, General Sikorsky. (After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the opening of the secret files of Soviet intelligence agencies, it generally is assumed that Skiorsky was assassinated by the Soviets.) Born Kenneth Peacock Tynan in Birmingham, England on April 2, 1927, the illegitimate son of Sir Peter Peacock, the former mayor of Warrington, who was leading a double life with his mistress and assumed the name of Tynan. (His son did not find out the truth until his father's death in 1948). While at Oxford, he acted and produced play and won a reputation as a brilliant pubic speaker at the Oxford Union. He also edited and contributed to college magazines. In 1952, The London Evening Standard newspaper hired the 25-year old Tynan as a theater critic. He wasted no time in establishing a reputation for himself of recklessness, boldness, and iconoclasm. He moved over to The Observer in 1954, and it there that he played a key role in the revolution of the London theater that began in the 1955-1956 theater season, with the debut of John Osborne 's watershed play Look Back in Anger (1959). He also championed Franco-Irish absurdist Samuel Beckett 's masterpiece "Waiting for Godot". But it was Osbourne's play that, overnight, made the English theater that immediately preceded it old-fashioned and out-of- date, making such popular playwrights Terence Rattigan seem almost obsolete. From his pulpit at The Observer, Tynan espoused the theatrical realism of the group of playwrights that became known as The Angry Young Men (and whose works were derided by the proponents of a more genteel theater as "kitchen sink drama"). Laurence Olivier, keen to not let fashion slip by him and become a living relic himself, became a convert to The Angry Young Man school, partly through Tynan's criticism and partly through the praise of Arthur Miller , with whom he had seen "Look Back in Anger" at the theater. Olivier approached Osbourne, who wrote "The Entertainer" -- one of Olivier's greatest roles -- for the theatrical knight. In 1963, when Olivier was named artistic director at the state-subsidized National Theatre, he appointed Tynan dramaturg, or literary adviser. Tynan had recommended himself for the job. After the appointment, Tynan left The Observer for the National Theatre, where he established an international reputation for himself. He had been contributing pieces to The New Yorker since 1958, but during the '60s, he became one of the most influential people working in the English-language theater, welcomed on both sides of The Pond. In many ways, Tynan was at the right place at the right time. He wanted to overturn censorship and extend the boundaries of speech, and the 1960s were a propitious time for iconoclasts. He has the distinction of being the first person to use the "f"-word on English television, on a November 13, 1965, BBC broadcast of a live TV debate. The incident caused a public outcry and condemnation in Parliament. One biographer said that his use of the word was "his masterpiece of calculated self-publicity". The BBC had to issue a formal apology, and the fallout from the notoriety eventually hurt Tynan's career as he was banned from British TV. Tynan had gotten The Observer to publish an "obscene" word in 1960, and by 1969, he was prepared to branch out into pornography, in the spirit

Rise got it right- almost. First of all, only 3 ingredients- whey protein, almonds, and honey- is fantastic. And they taste good- except they are just a little too sweet. There's no need for 13grams of sugar. They could have cut it in half quite easily in my opinion. For this reason, I never eat a whole bar. I usually use 1/2 a bar as a '2nd breakfast' after my morning workouts. Because of the high sugar content, I can't justify the entire bar at once, so I take along some grilled chicken to round out the meal. I feel the same way about all of Rise's bars. They are delicious, clean, and convenient... but they overdo it on the sugar in every single one of their bars. If you are as careful as I am about sugar (I stay at no more than 15-20grams/day) buy these with caution b/c a full bar will be your full day of sugar.

This article doesn't yet, but we're working on it! See more info or our list of citable articles . Related top topics Alexander Pope An Essay on Criticism was the first major poem written by the English writer Alexander Pope (1688–1744). However, despite the title, the poem is not as much an original analysis as it is a compilation of Pope's various literary opinions. A reading of the poem makes it clear that he is addressing not so much the ingenuous reader as the intending writer. It is written in a type of rhyming verse called heroic couplets . The poem first appeared in 1711, but was written in 1709. It is clear from Pope's correspondence [1] that many of the poem's ideas had existed in prose form since at least 1706. It is a verse essay written in the Horatian mode and is primarily concerned with how writers and critics behave in the new literary commerce of Pope's contemporary age. The poem covers a range of good criticism and advice. It also represents many of the chief literary ideals of Pope's age. Pope contends in the poem's opening couplets that bad criticism does greater harm than bad writing: 'Tis hard to say, if greater Want of Skill Appear in Writing or in Judging ill, But, of the two, less dang'rous is th' Offence, To tire our Patience, than mis-lead our Sense Some few in that, but Numbers err in this, Ten Censure wrong for one who Writes amiss; A Fool might once himself alone expose, Now One in Verse makes many more in Prose. ... (1–8) Despite the harmful effects of bad criticism, literature requires worthy criticism. Pope delineates common faults of critics, e.g., settling for easy and cliché rhymes: And ten low words oft creep in one dull line: While they ring round the same unvaried chimes, With sure returns of still expected rhymes; Wher'er you find "the cooling western breeze", In the next line, it "whispers through the trees"; If crystal streams "with pleasing murmurs creep", The reader's threatened (not in vain) with "sleep" . . . (347–353) Throughout the poem, Pope refers to ancient writers such as Virgil , Homer , Aristotle , Horace and Longinus . This is a testament to his belief that the "Imitation of the ancients" is the ultimate standard for taste. Pope also says, "True ease in writing comes from art, not chance, / As those move easiest who have learned to dance" (362–363), meaning poets are made, not born. As is usual in Pope's poems, the "Essay" concludes with a reference to Pope himself. Walsh, the last of the critics mentioned, was a mentor and friend of Pope who had died in 1710. An Essay on Criticism was famously and fiercely attacked by John Dennis , who is mentioned mockingly in the work. Consequently, Dennis also appears in Pope's later satire, the Dunciad . Part II of An Essay on Criticism includes a famous couplet: A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring . in reference to the spring of Pieria in Macedonia, sacred to the Muses . Ironically, the first line of this couplet is often misquoted as "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing," thus reinforcing the aptness of this very admonition, as the misquote betrays a certain want of learning. Part II is also the source of this famous line: To err is human, to forgive divine. The line " Fools Rush In Where Angels Fear to Tread " from Part III has become part of the popular lexicon, and has been used for and in various works.

SEATTLE (Reuters) - Elon Musk, the chief executive of Tesla Inc, has said little about how he plans to turn his prototype electric truck into reality. But Reuters has learned that Tesla is collaborating with Anheuser-Busch, PepsiCo and United Parcel Service Inc to build on-site charging terminals at their facilities as part of the automaker’s efforts to roll out the vehicle next year. Details of the partnerships, which have not been disclosed previously, are still being hammered out, but include design and engineering from Tesla, the companies said. They declined to disclose what portion of the building costs, if any, Tesla would pay, or whether Tesla would be compensated for its work. The firms are among nine major corporations that have placed pre-orders for Tesla’s truck, dubbed the Semi. With questions swirling over whether Tesla can make good on its aggressive timetable, news of the collaboration is a sign that corporate customers are taking the effort seriously, and that Tesla is working to solve one of the biggest impediments: keeping the big-rigs powered. Companies that spoke with Reuters said the first step is to install charging equipment on their own premises. The Semis would be limited to routes that would get them back to home base before the batteries are spent, the firms said. PepsiCo, which has reserved 100 Tesla trucks, said it may eventually explore sharing facilities and costs with other companies. The food conglomerate has held multiple meetings with Tesla to discuss the recharging effort, said PepsiCo executive Mike O‘Connell. “We have a lot of in-house capability around energy and engineering ... and certainly Tesla brings their expertise to the table on energy and charging,” said O‘Connell, senior director of supply chain for Frito-Lay North America, PepsiCo’s snack-food unit. Separately, in a high-tech twist on the traditional truck stop, Tesla is moving ahead with plans for its own stations to sell electricity to truckers who pull up for a charge, according to customers and transportation industry executives who have discussed the matter with the Silicon Valley automaker. Tesla already operates more than 1,100 “supercharger” stations globally for drivers of its passenger cars. Musk has spoken publicly of doing something similar for its heavy-duty trucks by installing a network of solar-powered “megachargers” that could juice up a Semi battery in 30 minutes. But just how quickly Tesla could build a robust network of electric filling stations for commercial truckers is not clear. The company is already stretched thin and burning cash. Tesla has struggled to ramp up production of its new Model 3 sedan, which has been plagued by delays. Some analysts and trucking executives doubt that Tesla can deliver the Semi in 2019, much less a vast charging infrastructure to support it. A Tesla spokeswoman confirmed that the Fremont, California-based company is working closely with large customers to build Semi charging stations. She declined to comment further on the arrangements or Tesla’s plans for its own truck-charging terminals. Anheuser-Busch is evaluating installing its own charging equipment for its 40 Tesla Semis at large breweries and other key locations, according to James Sembrot, senior director of supply chain for the St. Louis-based beer maker. “What was important to us was to make a big investment in this cutting-edge technology and secure our place in line,” Sembrot said. UPS, too, expects to work closely with Tesla on building on-site charging stations, according to Scott Phillippi, global engineering director for the parcel delivery behemoth. The Atlanta-based company pre-ordered 125 Semis in December. Grocery chain Loblaw Companies Ltd will likely use solar power to juice charging stations for the 25 Semis that it has pre-ordered from Tesla, according to spokeswoman Catherine Thomas. She said Loblaw was considering Tesla as well as “a few other companies” for technology and design. None of the companies would disclose cost estimates for building their own charging infrastructure.

REUTERS/Alexandria Sage/File Photo U.S. transit agencies that operate electric buses provide some clues. A “fast charger” terminal serving six electric buses would cost $249,000, according to a 2016 report from the California Air Resources Board. But analysts and automotive industry executives said the price tag for commercial truck facilities could easily reach into the millions of dollars, depending on factors such as the number of big-rigs to be recharged, the energy source for the electricity and existing energy infrastructure in a given area. AUTOMAKER OR ENERGY SUPPLIER? Tesla in November unveiled its prototype Semi with the aim of upending the trucking industry. At a splashy event in Hawthorne, California, Musk said the sleek, battery-powered cab could achieve up to 500 miles on a single charge, and be faster, cleaner and cheaper to operate than conventional diesels. Base prices range from $150,000 to $200,000, according to Tesla’s website, compared to $120,000 for a typical diesel. Companies including Wal-Mart Stores Inc and Sysco Corp plunked down deposits, getting plenty of public relations mileage in the process. But Tesla’s most obvious potential customers - major U.S. trucking firms - have not jumped on board.

REUTERS/Alexandria Sage/File Photo Werner Enterprises Inc, YRC Worldwide Inc, Daseke Inc and Old Dominion Freight Line are among the transport companies holding off pre-orders of the Tesla for now, citing doubts about the Semi’s promised recharge time, range, price and payload capabilities. Derek Leathers, chief executive of Werner, said he is not among the “naysayer crowd” that doubts Tesla’s ability to produce a viable electric truck. “I think it’ll happen, I just think their timeline is extremely aggressive,” Leathers said. Still, a dearth of publicly available charging infrastructure makes electrics impractical for long-haul trucking in the United States and elsewhere. That is something Tesla’s Musk has sought to address with his plans for solar-powered “megacharger” stations. But he has provided few specifics. At the November Semi unveiling, Musk said “we’re guaranteeing” a 7 cents per-kilowatt-hour price for electricity at the facilities. That is at the low end of cost figures cited by the U.S. government. Solar power for commercial use costs 9-12 cents per kilowatt hour, or 6-8 cents with a federal subsidy, according to a 2017 report from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Customers and industry executives said Tesla intends to buy cheap excess solar power off the U.S. energy grid, store it in enormous battery banks, then profit from selling it to drivers of Semis. But that strategy carries risks, experts said. “It’s a departure from being a vehicle manufacturer to being an energy supplier,” said Darren Gosbee, vice president of engineering at Navistar International Corp, which is working to launch an electric medium-duty truck by late 2019. Ian Wright, a Tesla co-founder who now runs his own company making electric powertrains for industrial trucks, is skeptical that truck charging stations can be a big money maker for Tesla. He estimated the capital costs for batteries alone would be $15 million for a single station. “I am not seeing any profit in the energy brokering for Tesla,” said Wright, whose Wrightspeed powertrain venture is based in Alameda, California.

They're enjoying some family time together over the summer break. And Theo Walcott and his wife Melanie looked every inch the doting parents as they enjoyed a day out with their sons Finley, three, and six-month-old Arlo while on holiday in Rome. Melanie, 28, put on a stylish display in a striped playsuit as she carried baby Arlo in her arms. Scroll down for video Family outing: Theo Walcott and his wife Melanie looked every inch the doting parents as they enjoyed a day out with sons Finley, three, and six-month-old Arlo while on holiday in Rome The blonde beauty finished off the ensemble with a pair of silver flip flops and a checked tote bag, while shielding her eyes from the sun with a pair of large shades. Tying her tresses back into a ponytail, she displayed her glowing complexion with a subtle make-up look. Meanwhile, her Arsenal footballer husband, 28, opted for a casual look, teaming a grey sweatshirt with a pair of navy shorts. Relaxed: Melanie, 28, looked stylish in a striped playsuit as the family went on a rickshaw ride through the Villa Borghese gardens The couple looked happy and relaxed during the day out, taking their sons on a rickshaw ride through the Villa Borghese gardens. Theo was left disappointed after being left out of the England squad for the World Cup qualifier against Scotland earlier this month, as well as this week's friendly against France. But the father-of-two appears to be making the most of some time off, enjoying a getaway in Rome after jetting out to the Italian capital for a wedding. Downtime: Theo, 28, opted for a casual look, teaming a grey sweatshirt with navy shorts He and Melanie - who married in June 2013 - welcomed baby Arlo into the world in November, with Theo sharing a cute snap of eldest son Finley meeting the newborn on Instagram. Before the birth Arlo, Melanie had previously confessed to wanting more children, saying that she and Theo love being parents. Speaking on Lorraine in 2015, she said: 'I love being a mum and Theo is an amazing dad so yeah, and Finley would love to have a brother or sister I think, so yeah definitely. Loved up: Theo and Melanie are enjoying some quality time together over the summer break, jetting out to the Italian capital for a wedding However, she revealed that they went through a terrifying experience when Finley was born, as the little boy had to undergo surgery at eight weeks old to correct a heart defect. Melanie explained: 'When he was born he was so tiny, he was born two weeks early which is not too bad but when they did a routine check they found that he had a murmur on his heart. 'That can be normal at first but it should sort itself out after 24 hours but it didn't and so then they knew there was something going on in the heart.'

UFC welterweight Alex Garcia was supposed to fight Colby Covington this past June at UFC Fight Night 89. Ten days before the event, he told MMAjunkie Radio, he injured himself. “I hurt myself, and I had to pull out of the fight,” Garcia (14-3 MMA, 4-2 UFC) said. It was a fight that paired two up-and-comers looking for redemption; both had lost in previous bouts. Covington (11-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) thought something shady was up. On Twitter, he implied 29-year-old Garcia was taking the easy way out. “I honor the contracts I sign,” he tweeted. “Fought with torn cartilage and fracture in rib my last fight and broken foot (in my second) UFC fight.” One day after the news broke, Covington implied Garcia had run afoul of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, the UFC drug-testing partner. “Usada saved him an ass beating,” he wrote. Garcia hasn’t forgotten those messages. After knocking out veteran Mike Pyle in his previous bout, he wants the UFC to rebook the fight with Covington. “He made some comments on Twitter, and I didn’t like him since that day,” Garcia said. “I want to shut his mouth a little bit. Either now, or in the future, or whatever he wants. I want to shut his mouth.” Covington’s willingness to speak up has been on display since he signed with the UFC in 2014 as a wrestling-savvy prospect. An American Top Team product, he’s made a name for himself while winning six fights with a lone setback to Warlley Alves at UFC 194. Garcia, meanwhile, has seesawed. Bouncing between wins and losses in his past five octagon bouts, the Tristar Team fighter has alternately looked promising and lackluster. Garcia said he’s feeling more comfortable in the octagon these days, and so fans will be seeing more of his true talent in the cage. The knockout of Pyle was certainly promising. But a win over Covington might go a long way toward revitalizing his image as a future title prospect. “I’m more comfortable being in the UFC and more relaxed,” Garcia said. “I want to be in the top 10 or 15, but if I don’t adjust my skills, I won’t get there. I want to reach that goal first, and then give myself more goals.” The immediate goal, though, is to get a little payback. “I don’t like that dude,” Garcia said of Covington. “He talks too much. It’s a little personal.” For more on the UFC’s upcoming schedule, check out the UFC Rumors section of the site.

The Vince Lombardi Trophy is named after the Packers' coach Lombardi, who guided them to their first two Super Bowls. Their two additional Super Bowl wins came in the 1996 and 2010 seasons.[11]

Protestors take part in the "Tax March" to call on US President Donald Trump to release his tax records on April 15, 2017 in Washington, DC (AFP Photo/Mandel Ngan) Washington (AFP) - US President Donald Trump on Sunday hit back at nationwide protests calling for him to release his tax returns, questioning "who paid for" the "small" rallies. "Someone should look into who paid for the small organized rallies yesterday. The election is over!" the president tweeted Sunday morning. That message came about an hour after an earlier tweet when he appeared to suggest the matter was a non-issue. For more news videos visit Yahoo View, available now on iOS and Android. Trump has previously said Americans don't care about his returns. "I did what was almost an impossible thing to do for a Republican-easily won the Electoral College! Now Tax Returns are brought up again?" Trump tweeted. His messages came after thousands of protesters gathered Saturday in cities across America to pressure Trump to release his tax returns, a move of transparency he has repeatedly rejected. The demonstrations were timed to coincide with the traditional April 15 deadline for annual tax filings, a key date on the calendar for US households, and resulted in dozens of arrests. For decades, US presidents and presidential candidates have released their returns voluntarily, although there is no legal obligation to do so. US law requires only the publication of a financial statement that estimates assets, including debt and revenue, but does not give details on the amount of taxes paid. Trump, a billionaire property tycoon, released a financial statement but has kept his tax returns private, both during the election campaign and since taking office in January. He argues that he cannot release them because he is being audited. But tax officials have said he can in fact release them if he so wishes. Trump has on at least two previous occasions accused demonstrators of being paid to protest against him. "Professional anarchists, thugs and paid protesters are proving the point of the millions of people who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" he wrote on February 3 during protests against his executive order on immigration.

This weekend’s deployment of an initial six F-35A Lightning II fighters and several hundred Airmen to Europe demonstrates the aircraft’s readiness to conduct operations with America’s European partners, according to Air Force leaders. The April 15, 2017, arrival at Royal Air Force Base Lakenheath, England, marks the first major overseas training deployment for the aircraft and begins several weeks of training for F-35 pilots, maintainers and support personnel with allied and partner nations. “Our Air Force delivers a broad range of combat airpower advantages to our partners,” said Gen. Mike Holmes, the commander of Air Combat Command, the major command responsible for organizing, training and equipping the F-35A fleet. “Thanks to our world-class Airmen, the F-35 is now part of the mix we bring to strengthening those partnerships and improving regional security.” The leaders of the 388th Fighter Wing at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, the Air Force’s first operational F-35A unit, echoed those sentiments, expressing their excitement about the mission and admiration for the Airmen who made it happen. “As the first operational F-35 unit in the Air Force, our Airmen have been working tirelessly—from the achievement of initial operational capability to our deployment to Red Flag,” said Col. David Lyons, the 388th Fighter Wing commander. “We continue to prove the unique capabilities of this revolutionary aircraft, and this first overseas deployment is a natural step in the program. “A large part of ensuring air dominance in the future will involve integrating operations between platforms and across all coalition partners,” Lyons continued. “The F-35A is on the leading edge of that interoperability. We’re excited to demonstrate those capabilities as well as our commitment to our European allies and partners.” Col. Michael Miles, the 388th Maintenance Group commander, noted that “any time we get a chance to mobilize and deploy, it sharpens our skills,” adding that it was an exciting to be a part of the F-35A program. “The culmination of the combined efforts of the entire F-35 community have brought this to fruition,” Miles said. “I am extremely proud of all our Airmen, and I know they are honored to be a part of this important operational milestone.” During the deployment, Hill Airmen will train in the U.K. and deploy to NATO states in Europe, providing an opportunity for the combat-ready aircraft to perform alongside allies and other types of Air Force aircraft in a realistic training environment. “The Lightning’s European deployment is another great opportunity to exercise the capabilities of this aircraft and conduct valuable training alongside our allies,” Holmes said. “As we’ve proven with the F-22 Raptor and routinely with our fourth-generation fleet, our strength is the ability to project our power globally and rapidly.” The F-35A is the latest addition to ACC’s deployable fifth-generation fleet. The aircraft offers air superiority, interdiction, suppression of enemy air defenses and close air support capabilities, as well as advanced tactical command and control functions through the use of fused sensors, which provide pilots with unprecedented situational awareness of the battlespace.

BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) - Residents of a Boston suburb have voted to rename the elementary school once attended by John F. Kennedy because it was named for a former slave owner. Town meeting members in Brookline voted Tuesday 171-19 to change the name of the Edward Devotion School. It will be known as the Coolidge Corner School, after its neighborhood, until a new name can be approved at next spring's town meeting. Deborah Brown, who proposed the change, said, "No child should have to walk into a school named for someone who enslaved people." Opponents called the name change an empty gesture that doesn't address racism's underlying causes. Devotion, who died in 1744, left money to the town on the condition it is used for a school. The future president attended from kindergarten through third grade.
