They might or might not be "just like us," but in Orange County they certainly walk among us. We've gathered stories from locals and ex-pats about their most memorable run-ins with famous folks.
I was waiting for my sister to finish up her hair appointment at Crystal Cove. My mom and I were in the front waiting room when I looked outside the window and mid-conversation blurted, "Oh, my god, that's Selena Gomez!" I recognized her immediately as "Wizards of Waverly Place" was my sister's favorite TV show growing up. I didn't believe myself at first, and neither did my mom. But as I kept repeating "It's her" over and over again, my mom worked up the nerve to go and see if it was her. It was. Selena was nice enough to take a photo with my mom. My sister was so mad that she'd missed the whole thing.

We were sitting at Coke Corner (at Disneyland) when we saw Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale getting some food from the corn dog cart. Her little boy waved to my little girl, who waved back. They were both around 5 or 6 years old at the time. We smiled aat Gwen as they walked by us, and she smiled at us with a knowing "Thank you for not bothering us" look. They walked to the back of Coke Corner to sit down and eat. No one bugged them while they walked by. But the cool part was about a minute later, when Mickey and Aladdin walked through Coke Corner to get backstage. They were rushed, and everyone was cheering for them. I thought to myself, "Isn't it cool that someone big like Gwen Stefani can come to Disneyland, not be bothered, and it's Mickey who is the real star of the show?"

I saw Alice Cooper at Fashion Island. He was walking with his wife, and he looked normal and almost preppy with a polo shirt on. I turned around to see a store behind me, and that's when I spotted him. I was going to say "School's out!" but I just slowed down and smiled as he walked in front of me. I almost didn't recognize him, but my dad loves his music so even without all the makeup I could tell it was him 100 percent!

It was just another normal day at Disney California Adventure. I was (working) backstage at the Grad Nite entrance. I heard over the radio that we had a VIP group coming our way. As we got the last group of kids in through the entrance, I looked over my shoulder and noticed a large group with some actors and actresses, but the one who stood out was David Tennant. I started to fangirl, even though he wasn't my favorite doctor from "Doctor Who." While I was freaking out, I blurted out, "Holy shit, it's David Tennant!" Knowing that we as cast members can't talk to them, I quickly realized that I'd messed up. After I said it, all I heard was, "Yes, that's me. Who said my name?" I slowly turned around and waved to him so awkwardly that I felt embarrassed to even be near him. The whole group then walked by, and I knew that I had to play it cool. After they left, I let out a huge sigh of relief.

My husband and I saw Harrison Ford incognito walking around downtown Laguna Beach. He was wearing a baseball hat and mechanic's jumpsuit, but it was clearly him! We couldn't believe our eyes!

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar set up his office in our building in Newport Beach. We would see him a few times a week. He's insanely tall and would walk like a 90-year-old. Very quiet when we did see him, but nice. When they moved out, they wanted to sell a lot of the memorabilia they had, so they sent flyers to the other tenants. Pretty cool. They had so much stuff—lots of Kareem's personal stuff and lots of gifts from other famous athletes. They were even selling autographed Lakers benches.

Eric Estrada
About 14 years ago, I was biking back from a late shift at work. It was around 11 p.m., and it was very dark. I saw a guy on the passenger side of a car that looked fancy, pulling something from it. He waved trying to stop me. I wasn't going too fast, and I didn't feel I had anything worth stealing, so I stopped. The guy, looking puzzled, asked me, "Do you know where the 405 is?" I just pointed behind me and said, "It's back there." Somehow, he looked familiar and I asked him, "You look familiar. Are you famous?" His answer: "I used to be!" and he chuckled. Then it hit me: the hair, the profile, the voice. I exclaimed, "Oh, my god! You're Eric Estrada!" He just smiled and let me take a photo with him on my crappy flip phone. The part that I find funniest from this is that Ponch didn't know where the 405 was.

Jodie Sweetin from "Full House" was in my Spanish class at Chapman (University). Everyone recognized her but no one acknowledged it. There was one day when we had to go around the class and say in Spanish what our favorite show was growing up. All the students were daring each other to say "Full House." No one did it.

I was at my friend's funeral. I knew that her dad and my dad had a lot of the same friends and played rugby together. I recognized one of the men getting food and thought he was my dad's friend. So I went over to him and said, "Hi, how are you? I don't know if you remember me but I'm Mike's daughter." The man had no idea who I was but said, "Hi, it's nice to see you." As soon as I heard his voice, I realized he was not my dad's friend. I knew him from TV, and he was JK Simmons the actor—you know, Farmers Insurance, Juno's dad. Super famous. It was the most inappropriate timing.

The rapper T-Pain was playing at The Observatory, and his team reached out to us because they were looking for a place for him to have a drink before the show. He came in, and he was super mellow and casual—you wouldn't even recognize him because he's so chill. It was just him and a friend. And he's been back a couple of times since then, any time he has a show in the area. We ended up making a cocktail for him that we put on the menu. It's called the T'ease Your Pain, and it's made with Pine XO cognac, pineapple juice, and lemon juice.

Years ago, I was at Montage Laguna Beach and my three daughters were playing in the water. I noticed a man standing near but didn't think anything of it as I walked closer to talk to one of (my girls). The man asked me if the three girls in the water were my daughters. I turned to say yes and recognized him as Richard Gere. He told me it looked like the three of them were having so much fun, and it made him miss his son. He mentioned he was in Laguna taking a break from work, but a phone call interrupted our conversation. One of the coolest celebrity encounters I've had while living in California.

Tommy Lasorda
This was back in '91 or '92, probably. I was at dinner with my then-girlfriend and her father at Tony Roma's in Fullerton—used to be on Harbor and Orangethorpe. There was suddenly some activity near the entrance, and I see the manager-looking lady all smiles leading someone through the restaurant to sit down. And she leads this old guy to the table right beside ours. He sits down beside me and I glance over, and it's Tommy Lasorda. He looks over and smiles to me. I nod back and say hello This is back when he was doing the Slim-Fast commercials. I think he ordered a grilled chicken breast or something. I remember some guy ran down the street to Sportmart to buy a baseball Tommy could sign. He ran back all out of breath with a new baseball, and the sod was wearing a freaking Cubs T-shirt.

In the spring of 1981, I was in my junior year at Cal State Fullerton when I joined the Delta Chi fraternity. As a pledge, we were required to meet with at least 15 active members and also study the values, history, and all sorts of trivial details of the fraternity because at the end of the pledge semester, we would be tested and could be asked anything in order to qualify to be a member.
I had heard that one of our alumni brothers was an aspiring actor and had a couple of movies under his belt and that he would attend the formal initiation night. His name: Kevin Costner. It really didn't mean much then because he wasn't a big star yet.
Fast-forward to initiation night: Costner was there, and he was my interrogator. Sworn to secrecy, I cannot reveal the details, but I can say that he was very convincing that I had better get the answer to his question correct. He asked me if I had the required number of deep, "meaningful" interviews with members of the fraternity. I confidently said, "Yes" but I was thinking, "How meaningful?" Then he moved on to the big question.
"Are you ready for your question?" he asked. I had crammed like it was a final exam! I said, "As ready as I'll ever be." Then after much anticipation and heart pounding … it was a no-brainer! The easy question was designed to throw me off, but I didn't want to jump at it. I paused to think and declared my answer. After a few perfect moments of silence for effect, he gave me a big smile, held out his hand, and said, "Congratulations, you passed!"
Thirty-six years later, my wife and I were on our 29th anniversary weekend trip in Montecito at a nice restaurant. As I sat down, I noticed Costner and his wife sitting directly behind my wife. We couldn't help but hear his now-famous voice. I waited until they got up to leave and as he walked toward me, I delivered the opening line to our secret dialog, "Do you know (confidential)?" He skipped the formal secret dialog and simply responded with a smile and said, "Yes, I do. Which college?" I then told him Cal State Fullerton and that he was my interrogator and blah, blah, blah. We spoke for a few minutes. He congratulated us on our anniversary and introduced us to his wife (Christine Baumgartner) who also went to Fullerton but in a different decade. He was down to earth, easy to talk to, and sincere. It was truly a great experience.

When I walked in to pick up my dry cleaning at a place in Newport Beach, there was a man at the counter having a discussion with the worker about the high cost of his dry cleaning. He turned around and looked at me and asked if I agreed this cleaner was too expensive. I replied that I always use coupons printed on the back of the receipt from the grocery store. I had a couple in my pocket, so I gave him one. I helped Mr. October, Reggie Jackson, save $2 on his dry cleaning bill.

I met David Sedaris at the Barclay when I was pregnant with my twins. He was obsessed with my belly (it was pretty big). He asked me if I knew the sex of the babies, and I told him I was having a boy and a girl. He asked me if he could name them—I was caught off guard, but I love him so much that I just nodded my head. He thought about it for a minute and said, "I'm going to name the boy Jolly, and the girl Sister!" Then he reached for a bag nearby on the ground and mumbled something about stealing the lotion from the hotel he was staying at because it was really good, and then he pulled this hotel lotion out of his bag and gave it to me and told me to use it on my belly! It was totally random, but before the twins were Lennon and Lara, they were Jolly and Sister!

Several years ago on a busy Saturday night, I was managing a bar in the Newport Beach area. A guy comes to the front door of the bar. My security guy calls me up.
"This guy says that he has Justin Bieber in that SUV, and they want to come straight in. He also wants to know if we have a VIP area we can put him in."
"Psshh! Sure, he does. OK, if he really has Bieber, then let him in. Stick him up front; he can have that area to himself." The bar in question has a bottleneck in the front corner, easy to close off to others.
My security and Bieber's security chat about it, and the next thing we know, there he is in the front corner of the bar. It was so smooth, only the front door guy and a few of the bartenders know he's even there. Whew!
But there is no way this is going to end well. OK, time to go check on him. WHAT?! He's smoking a cigarette.
"He can't smoke a cigarette inside," I say to the lead bartender.
"I'm not going to tell him. You're the manager," he retorts.
"Touché," I reply and make my way over behind the bar.
"Hey, Justin."
"What's up, bro?"
"Sorry to do this to you, but you can't smoke inside bars in California. I gotta ask you to put that out."
"Ohhhh," he says, taking another drag.
I hand him a glass. "You can put it out in here. Thanks, man, appreciate it."
Whew! That went smooth, and he was very nice. OK! We got that out of the way. What? What's that? He has to go to the bathroom? You mean the bathroom that is beyond 200 feet of crammed-in people who don't know that he's here yet? On the opposite side of the building? OK, sure. This is going to be awesome.
They start moving through the crowd, and his security is surrounding him. Passing by me. Halfway there. Then it happens. Some customer recognizes him, and instead of acting like a human, he grabs Bieber's arm and all hell breaks loose. People are grabbing people. Grabbing his security, my security. His security is grabbing my security. And here I come running.
"Everybody hold on a second!"
One of my security guys didn't know who he was holding. Oops, I should have told him.
OK. Nobody hurt. Everything defused. Nobody angry. And he makes it to the bathroom. Whew!
But everyone knows he's here now. He comes out of the bathroom, and 200 people collectively lose their minds at the same time. Grown men are screaming like little girls. People are climbing on furniture. "Hey! Get off the chairs! Were you raised in a barn?!" Everyone's trying to take photos in the super-dark bar.
His security is pro. They cut through the crowd like it isn't even there. In a few seconds, he's back in his little safety area at the front of the bar.
Wow! For how wild that was for a couple of seconds, we managed to get out of that without something scandalous happening. Relief!
Wait, what??? I already told him he can't smoke in the bar. I make my way back over, "Hey, Justin, I told you earlier, you can't smoke in here."
"Oh, sorry about that."
He just goes straight back to smoking his cigarette.
Normally, that would be enough for me to lose my mind and kick someone out, but I also don't want to end up on TMZ. What to do? What time is it? 1:30 a.m.
The lights go up. We kick everyone out quicker than usual—everyone but his entourage. They wait around until just before 2 a.m. (Bieber lets a few employees take pictures with him), and then they rush him through the little bit of crowd that's left and into his SUV.
On a closing note, his security people were super professional and polite, which is incredibly appreciated. Despite the cigarette thing, he was very polite, too. Overall, it was a good experience. Ten of out 10 would not do it again.

I work for an auctioning company, and I checked in Curtis Stone, the Australian chef, at a charity auction at Montage. I could tell he looked familiar. Later I realized who he was and that it was one of his charities, No Kid Hungry. He auctioned a personal barbecue for 30 people that went for $15,000! He did some autographs after, too. He's a very kindhearted guy. Once I got to talk to him, he was already irritated at the person who spoke to him before—they were drunk and rude—so he wasn't in a talking mood anymore.

I interned for the movie "Brick" (2005). It was shot at my high school and various places around San Clemente. Working with Joseph Gordon-Levitt was a pleasure; he is a really nice guy. While filming a shot of him lying on the ground, the cameraman accidentally raised the camera too high and hit the film canister on the roof. The canister unlatched from the camera and nearly hit Joseph in the face. He actually took it really well; I can imagine that most actors/actresses would get very pissed in this situation.

I got a call at my gym, Evolve Personalized Fitness, from a guy who said he was representing Mike Tyson. (Tyson) wanted to come use the gym later when it wasn't too busy. So they came in at noon, and he wrote his name in the register and I said, "It's $10 for a guest pass." And the guy who had called paid for Mike Tyson. All he did was walk on the treadmill, and he didn't talk to anybody. There were like seven people around and everyone was like, "Is that … Mike Tyson?" At some point, he used the bathroom and went back to walking on the treadmill and then left.

When I was a kid at summer camp in Irvine, we spent a day at the Aquarium of the Pacific. There was a movie being filmed outside, so we stopped to watch. I waved to Will Ferrell between takes. I was sitting on a hill next to (I believe) the producer and asked him the name of the movie. He said they were undecided at the time. Realized years later they were filming the first "Anchorman." It was the scene where the actors are yelling in the alleyway and (Ferrell) says, "You leave my mother out of this" and they start throwing punches.

Kelly Slater and Mick Fanning
"Eleven-time World Surfing Champion Kelly Slater and three-time World Champion Mick Fanning both frequent Outpost Kitchen almost as much as they frequent Orange County's best surf spots. I've bonded with them over their love for healthier living and the Australian coastline, which is renowned for some of the best surf breaks on the planet."
—Jay Lewis, owner of Outpost Kitchen
A friend and I were in Anaheim for Blizzcon '08, and Felicia Day had been there with her castmates from "The Guild." We were out enjoying the town and ran into them outside Bubba Gump Shrimp. I was gushing to her about how I loved "The Guild" and her stint on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." She was super nice, down to earth, and very kind to us. She even let me get a picture with her.

Dexter Holland
Back in the early 2000s, I took my girlfriend to Ruth's Chris Steak House in Irvine for dinner. I had reservations and just as they started walking us to our table, Dexter Holland from The Offspring walks in and they totally sat us back down and gave him our table. What's worse is I am a jet mechanic by trade and shortly after that his CitationJet came rolling into my hangar. Of all people, I had the honor—pfft—of fixing it.
—Stephen P., Irvine
Ed Begley Jr.
I once served Ed Begley Jr. when I worked at a Pei Wei in Newport Beach. He seemed to be in a business meeting, and he was very nice and friendly. I think I helped him pick out which dish to order. I had recognized him but couldn't recall his name. I had most recently seen him in "Pineapple Express" so I IMDB'd the movie and told my manager, who had me bring him a complimentary order of edamame.

A prominent concept within Neo-Paganism is Karma. Many people equate this with the Law of Three: everything you do comes back to you, times three. Interestingly, though, the Law of Three and Karma have nothing to do with each other. They are merely similar concepts on the idea that every action has a consequence that must be dealt with.
Karma is originally a Hindu philosophy. It has been mistakenly equated with the Law of Three, a purely modern Western invention, because of this similarity, however Karma does not deal with "amounts" of payback. Nor, as is commonly believed, is the point of Karma to acquire "good" Karma through good deeds. Karma is neither good nor bad: it is simply the consequential energy that must be handled, either in this life or a future one, that comes about from any action, good or bad. This energy accruement is what perpetuates samsara, the cycle of reincarnation.
The goal, here, is to end samsara and attain moksha: enlightenment. This is accomplished by achieving a balance and by not creating Karma all together. This allows one to break the cycle and return home.


If you are looking for a smaller sized guitar for a left-handed child, your options are a bit more limited than if you are buying for a right-handed child. There are more guitars available if you are looking for 3/4 size rather than a 1/2 size, although you aren't spoiled for choice with either size. The following table has some of your best options for children's left-handed guitars.
Most of my favorite guitars for kids (Yamaha Student series, the Squier Mini Strat, etc.), unfortunately, don't come in left-handed models. If you are interested in a right-handed guitar that is symmetrical and (preferably) nylon strung/classical style, you can get around this by having the guitar restrung in reverse order. If you aren't familiar with guitars, you will have to have the re-stringing done professionally because it can involve changes to the bridge and the nut that, in some cases, can be difficult or costly to modify. Most children's guitars aren't worth the hassle of restringing. For beginners, it is best to try and get a left-handed model, if at all possible.
Unfortunately, there are almost no left-handed smaller sized classical guitars available. I think this may be because if you are going to restring a right-handed guitar to make it left handed, classical models, are the easiest to do this on because most nylon string guitars have a straight bridge rather than the slanted bridge of acoustic guitars making it quite a bit easier to restring.
For a reasonable price and good quality, I would look at the either the 1/2 or the 3/4 Oscar Schmidt Acoustic Guitars (depending on the age of your child). I've only just recently become familiar with Oscar Schmidt guitars because they aren't sold anywhere in my area. On a recent visit to NYC, I got a chance to try a couple out and was pretty impressed with the models that I tried (although they were not the smaller sized left-handed acoustic). From the quality that I saw in the brand, I would think these would probably be a good choice. The Martin and the Taylor are great guitars, but they are a little pricey to get as a beginner guitar for a child.
I love the Ibanez Mikro, it's a super reliable, fun to play model, but the look is quite distinctive and isn't for everyone. The safest or best bet for a small scale left-hand electric guitar would probably be one of the SX RST Packages. They are inexpensive, are decent quality, and come in some different colors that are appealing to kids.

Synopsis for "Uneasy Alliances"
During Blood Rose's siege on Fisk Tower, Spider-Man, and Joe Robertson finds themselves surrounded by Blood Rose and the Foreigner's Cyber-Warriors. Spider-Man tells Joe to run for it just as Blood Rose and the Cyber-Warriors take aim. Thanks to his spider-sense, Spider-Man manages to leap out of harm's way at the last moment. The web-slinger then lures his opponents upstairs so that Joe can escape. They manage to snare Spider-Man in an electrified net. Although the web-slinger manages to rip free, the electricity has weakened. When Blood Rose attempts to shoot Spider-Man, Joe Robertson leaps between them. Because of his sense of honor, Blood Rose doesn't kill Robertson and decides that he has wasted enough time on Spider-Man. He orders the Cyber-Warriors to blast an escape route for him. As they prepare to leave, one of the Cyber-Warriors turns to eliminate both Robertson and Spider-Man. However, Blood Rose shoots this Cyber-Warrior in the back for disobeying his orders. This momentary delay allows Spider-Man to tag Blood Rose with a spider-tracer. With the authorities arriving on the scene, Spider-Man gets Joe Robertson out of there.
The following morning, the Foreigner wakes up and is disappointed that he hasn't gotten word back from his Cyber-Warriors. He assumes that they have failed on their secondary mission. He contacts the rest of his Cyber-Warriors and orders them to eliminate Blood Rose. He then contacts his current employers, the New Enforcers and tells them that everything is going according to plan. They are pleased and look forward to taking control of the Kingpin's empire.
Two weeks later, on a remote Carribean Island, Richard Fisk flees from the man known as Trench.[Continuity 1] However, Trench has mastered this island and eventually catches up to Fisk. However, this is merely a training exercise to get Richard back in shape after getting shipwrecked on the island. Trench then gives Richard a new outfit and an eyepatch to cover his injured eye. After putting on this new outfit, he tells Trench to stop calling him Fisk, as the name no longer fits anymore. That evening, Fisk has decided that, after his near-death experience, he has some issues to deal with, but this can wait until he gets back to New York City.[Continuity 2] With Tench out hunting, Fisk decides to look through his tent to try and learn more about his mysterious benefactor. He is caught before he has a chance to open Trench's briefcase. Making an excuse that he was looking for his old clothes, Trench tells him to put the breifcase down and get some rest as they will continue Richard's training in the morning.
Back in New York City, Spider-Man finally has a chance to return to the Daily Bugle with the photos he took of the siege on Fisk Tower. He thinks about all the things that have been keeping him busy. Between his recently returned parents, spending time with his wife, this is the first chance he has had to come back to the Daily Bugle.[Continuity 3] He kind of wishes that his Doppelganger from the Infinity War was around to pick up some of the slack, but recalls how it was dragged off into the sewers by the Deathspawn.[Continuity 4] Changing into Peter Parker, the hero goes down to Joe Robertson's office. However, Joe isn't interested in any of Peter's photos since he rushed out on him during the siege on Fisk Tower. Peter decides to leave before things get too heated. As Peter steps out of the office he runs into his wife Mary Jane. When he kisses her, he's kind of disgusted because she was smoking.[Continuity 5] Once they have left, Betty Brant is glad they have finally gone, because she doesn't want anyone to see her having a secret rendezvous with Joe Robertson.
Meanwhile, in the sewers beneath the city, the Spider-Doppelganger tries to fight off a swarm of rats that are trying to eat him. Suddenly, from his wounds emerge two of the Deathspawn that were hiding inside. Later, Spider-Man is scouring the city trying to pick up the spider-tracer he planted on Blood Rose earlier.[Continuity 6] Meanwhile, at the Foreigner's headquarters, one of his Cyber-Warriors returns after seemingly eliminating Blood Rose. However, when the Foreigner admits the warrior into his office, it turns out it is Blood Rose in disguise who has come to eliminate the Foreigner for trying to kill him.

↑ This is not the real Richard Fisk, but his friend Alfredo Morellli, who disguised himself to look like Richard in order to infiltrate the Kingpin's organization as revealed in Web of Spider-Man #100.
↑ "Richard Fisk" was shot in the back and left for dead by Blood Rose in Web of Spider-Man #89.
↑ People claiming to be Richard and Mary Parker recently appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #365. These are actually impostors as revealed in Amazing Spider-Man #388. The real Richard and Mary Parker died years ago as seen in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #5. Peter and Mary Jane are referred to as husband and wife here. However, years later, their marriage is erased from existence by Mephisto in Amazing Spider-Man #545. As such they should be considered a common-law couple here.
↑ The Spider-Doppelganger first surfaced in Infinity War #1. Unlike the rest of the Doppelgangers, the Spider-Man duplicate survived after the end of the Infinity War thanks to Demogoblin's magic as seen in Spider-Man #24. It was last seen in Web of Spider-Man #96.
↑ Mary Jane started smoking in Amazing Spider-Man #361 as a means of dealing with the stress of Peter being Spider-Man.
↑ The original twin towers of the World Trade Center are depicted as part of the New York City skyline here. This should be considered a topical reference per the Sliding Timescale of Earth-616. The original towers were destroyed in a terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, and have since been replaced by the Freedom Tower.

Home > About Us > What is a Board-Certified Equine Surgeon?
If your horse develops a disease or injury requiring advanced care and procedures, your primary veterinarian may refer you to a veterinary surgeon. Western Veterinary Hospital is home to Dr. Bueno, MV, MS, DACVS and he has been our staff surgeon since WVH opened its doors.
Why seek a boarded certified veterinary surgeon?
Just as humans are treated by specialists for a variety of medical reasons, animals should be treated by veterinary specialists when advanced care is necessary. Surgery often warrants that care. ACVS Board-Certified Veterinary Surgeons can provide that care.
All veterinarians may perform surgery as part of their veterinary practice. However, difficult cases may be best managed by a specialist. Board certified surgeons work closely with the owner and the primary veterinarian before and after surgery in a team approach to ensure continuity of care for your animal. Following surgery and any postoperative follow-up care, the primary veterinarian resumes ongoing care of the animal.

Тропо́я () — город в Северной Албании вблизи государственной границы с Республикой Косово в префектуре Кукес, центр одноименного округа.

Старая Тропоя (Tropoje e Vjeter) расположена на высоте 240 м над уровнем моря, у подножья горы Шкельзени (Shkelzeni, ~2807 м).

Город является центром клана Бериша, который специализируется на торговле по пути из Косово в Шкодер. Во время косовского конфликта в окрестностях города располагался крупный лагерь Армии освобождения Косова под руководством Рамуша Харадиная.

В массовой культуре
Тропоя упоминается в фильме «Заложница» с участием Лиама Нисона. По фильму, албанская преступная группировка, занимающаяся торговлей людьми, прибыла в Париж из Тропои.

Репутация
Правительства некоторых стран (например, Канада и Австралия) рекомендуют своим гражданам воздержаться от путешествий в Тропою в связи с риском стать жертвой преступления. Особенную осторожность рекомендуется соблюдать любителям походов, поскольку в лесах по-прежнему существуют необезвреженные минные поля, оставшиеся со времён войны.

Уроженцы
 Сали Рам Бериша — албанский политик.
 Скендер Гега — албанский футболист и тренер.

This doesn't fit into any category. It's a little expensive for lunch, but the taste matches the price. There's something about this bookstore that just makes people want to come back again. I always thought that Marty was a bit strange. Delbert offered to help Gill find her lost puppy. We're being attacked. Don't forget what I just told you. She overcame the difficulty. I am astigmatic. Where are we meeting?
I parted from my friend in anger. I could see it was you. This student is from Japan. Rayan cut himself with a knife this morning. But in that case the matter would have been decided by itself. They found Rachel in great pain. Might I come in? Not a candle to God, nor a poker to the Devil. It's not what I wanted to say. "Is Marlena about?" "He's not here!"
My father died four years ago. I ran into an old friend of mine this morning. He has decided to carry on the work. Surely no one will look for this sentence. Was that you who told him the secret? I'm afraid I have some very bad news. He built himself a house. I've got to be very careful, Anthony. I thought I'd take Jakob out for dinner. How much did you spend on that?
Why don't we give them a call? How tall is Dori? I've got a lorry. It is very hot here in the summer. This is special. I apologized to her for that. Nobody else believes Rod is still alive. These words were spoken by someone who shall be nameless. Do you often listen to audiobooks? You've got a million dollars in front of you. You can either spend it for yourself or spend it on a surgery for someone you don't know who is in danger of quadriplegia. You both don't know each other. And no one will ever know what a noble deed you've done sacrificing all the money to the surgery for a person you don't know, or how mean you were to take the money confining that person to wheelchair for the rest of their life. So what would you do? You can't share the money.
I had one last hope. Would you like to switch seats? Do they know you're here? I overheard Piercarlo and Vic talking. We didn't tell anyone. They tell me you're OK. Rabin didn't die of cancer. Can you exchange a 10000 yen note into 50 pence coins? I sharpen the knife. Nora refused to go with me.
I was deceived by a person who I had thought was a friend of mine. Nothing will happen to her. I want to be happy, too. Our house faces the beach. Matthias fell asleep while watching TV. Dan was on TV. Do you think she still thinks about me? They're not there. They hate me 'cause they ain't me! Is it all right to use a flash here?
Nobody anticipated such a sharp decline in interest rates. He has nothing in him. Sunil had a great weekend. Put the ladder against the wall. I thought you had a date. I go to bed at around ten at night. Take your seat. We drank some wine. Do you want to go somewhere else? Your Honor, this is an unexpected development. I need time to confer with my client.
They dug a grave. You'd better call the doctor. How is your job hunting going? Powders of aluminium, magnesium, silicon, etc. explode. I've done this too. I wish Oskar would do that. His picture was accepted for the Nika Exhibition. He has come from Boston. I bought it for 10 dollars. I'm smarter than you.
My office is on the third floor. We're about to explore some uncharted territory. Take us to the hospital. How many oranges did you buy? In the matter of boots, I refer to the authority of the bootmaker. There is much furniture in the room. It shouldn't be too difficult to do that. You're a very attractive woman. Kristi would tell me the truth, I'm sure. Ira is a heavy smoker.
Neville has a really good sense of balance. Whoever sleeps too much has less time to live. I'm sure Randell will like you. How dare you talk about Becky like that! Bradford wouldn't have done that. It was as if the devil was chasing after him. Dieter is a better chess player than I expected him to be. Suwandi reluctantly went outside. I felt it was necessary, so I did it. Which one was it?


Today, Congresswoman Cheri Bustos (IL-17), a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, applauded news that the Quad City International Airport received a $2,250,000 grant through the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to install runway lighting to enhance safety at the airport.
Today's grant was awarded on a competitive basis through the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Airport Improvement Program which is funded by the Airport and Airways Trust Fund.
Congresswoman Bustos has been a long-time champion of investing in infrastructure to improve our economy and create jobs and recently met with the new DOT Secretary Anthony Foxx to advocate for the transportation priorities of Illinois' 17th Congressional District.

UAE Economic Forum 2019 concludes with promising outlook and growth plans
The 'UAE Economic Forum 2019,' held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, concluded after two days of exhaustive and insightful dialogue among policy-makers and private sector leaders on the major economic drivers and prospects in the UAE and the various emirates. Organised under the theme 'The UAE Enterprising Economy: Resilience, Growth & Prosperity,' the Forum, held 11-12 December 2019 at the Armani Hotel, Dubai, was a collaborative initiative between the Ministry of Economy and the economic departments in the seven emirates in the UAE.
The event brought government executives in the UAE face to face with senior representatives of local, regional and international businesses and think-tanks as well as opinion leaders and the academia to evaluate the state of economy in the UAE and the anticipated impact of strategic initiatives launched by the federal government and each emirate with the participation of the private sector. More than 30 speakers addressed an invited audience of over 500 specialists from the public and private sectors during the Forum, which also saw a series of emirate-level and federal-level economic reports and outlook being presented.
Dubai Economy also launched 'Young Economist Challenge,' a contest aimed to engage young talent from higher academic institutions and channel their innovation and creativity into economic development in the UAE. The contest had eight teams from four universities – UAE University, Higher Colleges of Technology, University of Sharjah, and American University of Ras Al Khaimah – as participants.
His Excellency Sami Al Qamzi, Director General of Dubai Economy, said: "Dubai Economy is delighted to see the success of the inaugural UAE Economic Forum in bringing innovators, experts and thought-leaders from the government, private sector and the academic community from the UAE and abroad to share knowledge and consolidate the vision and strategic thinking in implementing initiatives aimed to enhance competitiveness of the economy in the UAE across all emirates."
Al Qamzi added: "We look forward to the next session of the Forum in Abu Dhabi to be hosted by the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development. Dubai Economy is committed to work with the economic departments in the six other emirates and the Ministry of Economy in the UAE to launch strategic initiatives and innovative policies that help develop vital industry sectors and the overall economy in line with the vision and aspirations of our leadership."
The second day of the Forum started with HE Saeed Al Nazari, Director General of Federal Youth Authority, speaking on the need to investing in youth as the wealth of the nation and supporting SMEs in view of their importance as engines of growth and contributor to the national value-add. Sameh Al-Saharty, Director of the Human Development Programme in the Gulf States at the World Bank followed with a presentation on the highlights of the World Bank's Human Capital Index with a focus on the UAE.
Essam Al Disi, Director, Strategy & Policy at Dubai SME, launched the Dubai SME Report, which evaluated the state of SMEs in Dubai against seven dimensions – international orientation, degree of innovation, digital readiness, human capital development, corporate governance, orientation towards sustainable practices, and access to finance.
SMEs in Dubai contributed AED 198.6 billion dirhams, or 46%, to the emirate's GDP in Dubai, the report said. Between 2008 and 2017, there was a 6% increase in the contribution of micro, small and medium enterprises to GDP and in the case of medium-sized enterprises the increase was even high at 28% in 2017 from 17% in 2008.
Among SMEs those in the services sector are the largest contributors (47%) to the total added value in Dubai in 2017 and this is in comparison to a 41% contribution in 2008. On the other hand, the contribution of SMEs in trade and manufacturing sectors decreased by 3% each between the same period.
A panel discussion on 'Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) as Engines of Growth,' chaired by HE Sheikh Fahim Al Qasimi, Executive Chairman of the Department of Government Relations in Sharjah (DGR) followed the presentation. UAE entrepreneur Khalifa Al Jaziri; Karl Feilder, CEO, Neutral Fuel; Yousif Kruse, Chairman, SME Committee, UAE Banking Federation; and Arjan Oude Kotte, Director, Small & Medium Business, Microsoft shared their experience on the SME ecosystem and the enablers that would help entrepreneurs lead sustainable economic development in the UAE.
The Forum concluded with a discussion on 'The Future of Retail' moderated by Laila Mohammad Suhail, CEO of Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), and attended by Mohammed Ali Yusuf, Head of Digital Commerce, MENA, Visa; Mahmood Al Bastaki, Chairman of Dubai Trade, DT World, DP World; Patrick Chalhoub, Executive Director, Chalhoub Group; and Dr Sami Mahroum, Director, Research and Strategies, Dubai Future Foundation.

A non-binding referendum on Greenland's autonomy was held on 25 November 2008 to support or oppose the Greenland Self-Government Act. It was passed with 75% approval (63% in Nuuk) and a 72% turnout.  The non-binding referendum was on expanded home rule in 30 areas, including police, courts, and the coast guard; gave Greenland a say in foreign policy; provided a more definite split of future oil revenue; and made the Greenlandic language the sole official language.

The referendum was announced by Prime Minister Hans Enoksen on 2 January 2008. Enoksen also announced the launch of an information and discussion campaign on the issue of self-government. This included town hall meetings throughout the country.

Background
Greenland became a Denmark–Norway colony in 1775 and was made a province of Denmark in 1953. In 1979, it was made an autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark, with a parliament and local control of health care, schools, and social services. In 1985, it withdrew from the then European Economic Community (now known as the European Union) to maintain control of fishing in its waters. There has been some movement towards independence, encouraged by Denmark but held back by Greenland's need for economic subsidies.

A 2003 report from the Commission on Self-Governance outlined six possibilities for the future of Greenland. These were:
 Independence
 Union with another country, or otherwise known as a personal union with Denmark, similar to the former Kingdom of Iceland (1918–44)
 Free association, similar to the relationship between Palau and the United States, or the United Kingdom to its Dominions such as Canada and Australia at the beginning of the 20th century.
 Federation
 Increased self-government beyond the then-existing home rule.
 Complete integration

Proposal and expansion of home rule
Although it was a non-binding referendum, the Danish parliament supported it and promised to honour its results. The expansion of home rule took effect on 21 June 2009, the 30th anniversary of the establishment of home rule, when the Act on Greenland Self-Government took effect.

Greenland gained greater control of the police, coast guard, and courts. In addition, the Greenlandic language became the sole official language.

Oil revenues will be divided differently, with the first 75 million Danish kroner (US$13.1 million) going to Greenland, and the remaining revenue split evenly with Denmark.

Greenland's subsidies from Copenhagen will be phased out. The subsidy is currently 3.5 billion kroner ($588 million) per year,  which accounts for about one-third of the island's gross domestic product of 10.5 billion kroner and almost two-thirds of the total income of the home rule government of 6.1 billion kroner.

Greenlanders are also recognized as a separate group of people under international law.

The changes were met with skepticism from some Danish politicians. Per Ørum Jørgensen, who helped negotiate the agreement, said that it may be "30–40 years" before Greenland is ready to take charge of itself. MP Søren Espersen from the Danish People's Party controversially claimed that Greenlanders had been "brainwashed with unprecedented propaganda" and that he believed "huge problems are waiting in the future".

Results
The referendum passed. The Greenlandic government was pursuing future independence, and the result was seen by some observers as a "major step" in that direction.

We have been so excited around here as our Wisconsin Badgers are in the Final Four. Last Saturday's win against Arizona was the most suspenseful and exciting game I have ever watched. The game is tonight against Kentucky and we are all hoping for another win. Hopefully it won't be as suspenseful because I don't think my heart can take it! We are so very proud of our Badgers and coach Bo Ryan. GO BADGERS!
This is my favorite, easy, anytime salsa. It's a perfect snack for the game and it's Badger Red! The easy part is that it all goes into a food processor, a few pulses and it's done. Also you don't have to wait for tomato season to make this as it uses canned tomatoes. I love the bright red color and the bright fresh taste. I'll go as far as saying this is better than the salsa I make with fresh tomatoes.
This recipe comes from Pioneer Woman. Check out her recipe here as she has step by step photos. With all her recipes, once you look at all the photos, you want to make it! Everything that I've made from her blog and cookbooks have been delicious.
Now that the salsa is made, I'll just relax and enjoy a sample before the party starts. YUM!
This is a very large batch. Recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.
Combine whole tomatoes with 1/2 of the juice, Rotel, onion, jalapeno, garlic, sugar, salt, cumin, lime juice, and cilantro in a blender or food processor. Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like adding more of the tomato juice if needed.
wonderful guide!!! thanks for this food guide.Thanks for sharing.


(KLTV/Gray News) - The company, Fred's, Inc., announced on Thursday it is closing 159 stores.
According to a press release, the company plans to close the stores by the end of May. The Pineville location is listed, however, the Tioga store was not on the list of stores closing.
The company made the decision to close "underperforming stores" following an evaluation of the stores' portfolios, "including historical and recent store performance and the timing of lease expirations, among other factors."
"After a careful review, we have made the decision to rationalize our footprint by closing underperforming stores, with a particular focus on locations with shorter duration leases," Fred's Chief Executive Officer Joseph Anto stated in a press release. "Most of these stores have near-term lease expirations and limited remaining lease obligations. Decisions that impact our associates in this way are difficult, but the steps we are announcing are necessary. We will make every effort to transition impacted associates to other stores where possible,"
Locations affected include stores in Texas, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky, Illinois and Tennessee.
For the full list of stores that are closing, see the Related Links section of the page.

Souper Easy, Healthy, Comforting Soup Recipes
The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly interrupted the habits that once comprised our daily routines. This holds especially true when it comes to our eating habits. Most of us are regularly eating at home, which should, in theory, be a good thing. Problem is, during stressful times, we tend to lean towards the more traditional "comfort" foods. More often than not, these foods are laden with unhealthy fats, added sugars and other refined carbohydrates.
Even the most health conscious among us have turned to comfort foods at some point. I know I've had my fair share of homemade fried chicken and baked macaroni & cheese.
Unfortunately, it seems, the pandemic isn't ending anytime soon.
So, what are we going to do?
We all know that constantly eating comfort foods comes with consequences.
Luckily, there are simple ways to put a healthy spin on many of the comfort foods we so enjoy. Soups are high on my list of 'spinnable' options and happen to be one of my top comfort food choices, as they're a great way to get in multiple servings of vegetables at once.
I typically build my own soups completely from scratch. But since I've been taking care of baby Aubrey full-time and tending to Ramsey's 7th grade virtual learning schedule while also working from home, I've been welcoming any shortcuts to get the job done.
Quick and Easy Homemade Soups
I was recently introduced to the Frontier Soups™ brand by Anderson House™ for which I was given the opportunity to try a variety of their Hearty Meals® and Homemade in Minutes® products. If you regularly follow me, you're likely aware that I don't frequently highlight food brands, especially if I don't see any practical nutritional potential in them. It was only after reading a lot of positive reviews that I even decided to try them out.
To my pleasant surprise, it's quite the impressive brand. Frontier Soups™ features a wide assortment of simple, all-natural soup mixes made using wholesome, real ingredients that you'll actually recognize.
The mixes themselves contain dehydrated veggies, which lose very little of their nutritional value during the dehydration process. And, you won't believe how many are housed in each small package. Depending on the soup, ingredients could include anything from broccoli to cauliflower to butternut squash. None of the mixes contain added salt, preservatives or MSG, and all of them are certified gluten-free and non-GMO.
Each soup mix package details a complete list of whole ingredients you'll need to carry out the accompanying recipe. In addition to adding whole ingredients, you'll also have to add your own choice of broth. It's a sort of 'fast-scratch' approach to preparing homemade soup.
Honestly, given my busy schedule—and genuine love for rich, comforting homemade soups—these mixes and soup recipes have been fitting the bill. I've personally prepared nearly a dozen of them at just a fraction of the cost you'd pay for equal portions at a typical restaurant or fast-food chain. And, they're equally as delicious with greater overall nutritional value. Baby Aubrey has even been enjoying many of the soups at lukewarm temperatures as part of his introduction to solid foods.
I've highlighted some of my favorite soup recipes below along with images so you can get a good feel for how Frontier Soups™ work. Obviously, you'll first have to purchase each soup mix in order to carry out the process. The mixes range in cost from around $7 to $8 a package. For each mix, you simply follow the instructions laid out on the package. Most of them require only 4-6 major steps and include variations to suit different eating styles and taste preferences.
OREGON LAKES WILD RICE & MUSHROOM SOUP
The Wild Rice & Mushroom™ soup has a 'classic' vegetable soup flavor that's in the vein of a chicken noodle or ramen soup. But it is much tastier, houses considerably more nutrients, and is way more enjoyable. Along with wild rice and portobello mushroom, the mix contains a savory blend of veggies like carrots, onions and peas along with earthy seasonings like garlic, thyme and peppercorn.
A package of Oregon Lakes Wild Rice & Mushroom™ soup mix
8 cups of chicken broth (64 ounces)
2-3 cups of cooked chicken breast, chopped (8-12 ounces)
In a 3 or 4-quart pot bring the broth to a boil. Reduce the heat, stir in the soup mix, and then add the chicken.
Return to a simmer, cover, and then cook the soup for 40 minutes.
Let it stand for 5 minutes, and then serve!
As you can see, the recipe itself calls for 8 cups of chicken broth and 2-3 cups of cooked chicken breast—That's it! To save some time, I simply chopped up the breasts from a store-bought rotisserie chicken for which I paid $5. I caught a good sale so the chicken broth was only another $3. To my surprise, I didn't have to change up the recipe at all. I literally made the soup according to the instructions on the package. My total preparation time was about 45 minutes. Definitely a lot faster than many scratch-based soup recipes of its kind.
According to the package, the Wild Rice & Mushroom™ soup mix yields around nine servings per batch. In my house, there was enough for six generous adult-sized portions and two baby portions. This made for a hearty family dinner and delicious leftovers for lunch. The soup is a particularly good post-workout meal choice. It's packed full of quality protein for muscle repair, and contains plenty of liquid and just the right amount of salt to support adequate rehydration.
CALI COASTLINE CREAMY CAULIFLOWER SOUP
I generally recommend broth-based soups over creamy ones, as the calorie counts tend to be a whole lot lower. But, given today's cauliflower craze, I just couldn't resist the opportunity to taste test Frontier Soups™ Creamy Cauliflower™ blend. And, it didn't disappoint! The mix is surprisingly nutritious housing whole ingredients like navy beans, carrots, onions, and a variety of flavorful herbs and spices.
If you're watching your carb intake, it's a great choice. Due to the 4 grams of fiber it contains, a single serving of the fully prepared soup nets just 14 grams of carbohydrates.
Now, unlike the 'cut and dry' nature of the Wild Rice & Mushroom™ soup recipe above, the Creamy Cauliflower™ recipe is one that can go many ways. If you're following a plant-based diet, a certain set of ingredients could apply; whereas, if you're following a high-fat and/or high-protein diet that's more all-inclusive, another set of ingredients might apply.
It all comes down to what works best for your eating style, as well as your general taste preferences. So, for this particular recipe, which is very layered, I'm offering some 'layered' options for ingredients as you'll see in the sections that follow.
A package of Cali Coastline Creamy Cauliflower™ soup mix
3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
1 small head of cauliflower (white or orange), chopped (about 4 cups)
4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth (32 ounces)
1 cup of full-fat coconut milk or heavy cream (8 ounces)
In a 4-quart pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat.
Add the cut-up cauliflower and sauté it for 5 minutes, stirring until it's lightly browned.
Stir in the contents of the soup mix. Add the broth, bring it to a boil, and then cover and reduce it to a simmer for 25 minutes.
Stir in the milk or cream. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency (or pour the soup into a blender or food processor and puree it in batches).
Salt and pepper, if desired.
As you can see, the recipe calls for olive oil along with "vegetable or chicken broth" and "full-fat coconut milk or heavy cream" as liquid options. You can easily convert it to a full vegan soup by using the vegetable broth in place of the chicken broth, and the full-fat coconut milk in place of the heavy cream.
Heavy Cream?
With me being who I am, you might be wondering how heavy cream even made the list? Well, since heavy cream is ultra-low in carbohydrates, it's actually a better choice for carb watchers, which is why I included it as an option. Heavy cream is also a good option for folks looking to gain healthy muscle weight (such as the two male ectomorphs I live with).
Now, on the flip side, coconut milk is a plant-based substitute for heavy cream that houses way less fat and, therefore, fewer calories. This is a better choice for those who aren't necessarily benefiting from the fat-burning effects of ketosis.
Because I already had heavy cream in the fridge, that's what I used. But I've used coconut milk in many other soup recipes. Coconut milk tends to give soups somewhat of a mild coconut flavor, but it's not overpowering. It's actually the basis of most Thai curries. You can pick up a couple of 13.7-ounce cans in the Asian aisle of your local grocery store for around $2-3 each. Be sure to get the unsweetened kind.
Since coconut oil solidifies into coconut cream at room temperature, canned coconut milk generally separates into two distinct layers: liquid water at the bottom and solid white cream at the top. So, don't shake the can before opening it. Simply open it, spoon out the thick cream from the top, and then substitute it, measure for measure, with the heavy cream in this recipe and any other soup recipes.
The additional ingredients for the soup, including the white cauliflower and the chicken broth, only cost me about $3.50. As with all Frontier Soups™, this Creamy Cauliflower™ blend required very little hands-on preparation time. Following the instructions, as described, this one took me all of 50 minutes to make.
With the Creamy Cauliflower™ mix you can enjoy a rich, creamy soup without the calorie bomb. I've actually added this one to my personal short list of nutritious creamy soup recipes. I enjoyed a couple of bowls topped with crushed walnuts for added flavor and texture. My guys, including the baby, enjoyed theirs on a bed of brown rice. If you're a wine drinker, I highly recommend pairing this one with an off-dry or semi-sweet white wine as my husband and I did. Absolute perfection!
SPICED & SWEET BUTTERNUT SQUASH & LENTIL SOUP
Nothing says comfort like a big bowl of hearty butternut squash soup. And, Frontier Soups™ puts a really healthy spin on it with their unique Spiced & Sweet Butternut Squash & Lentil Soup Mix™. This one's a huge leap in nutrition from the 'bisque-like' versions generally served at restaurants and fast-food chains. It's markedly low in calories and sugar, virtually fat-free, packed full of health-promoting vitamins and minerals, high in fiber, and rather low in sodium.
Just about all the major ingredients for this soup are housed in the mix. Due to the sizeable presence of butternut squash and other orange/reddish ingredients like carrots and bell peppers, this particular blend delivers a heaping dose of beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is a potent antioxidant known to help protect against heart disease and various forms of cancer.
Other ingredients that add good nutrition and multi-dimensional flavor and texture to the mix include lentils, navy beans, quinoa, and a sweet and savory blend of spices including garlic, ginger and cayenne. Notably, the spices contain thermogenic chemicals that can help speed up your metabolism and decrease your appetite, thereby supporting weight loss.
A package of Spiced & Sweet Butternut Squash & Lentil Soup Mix™
1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped (1 1/2 cup)
4 cups of butternut squash, diced
8 cups of vegetable broth (64 ounces)
1/2 cup orange juice (4 ounces)
In a 4-quart pot, sauté the onion in oil for 10 minutes.
Stir in the contents of the soup mix, butternut squash, and vegetable broth.
Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat, and then simmer it, covered for 45 minutes.
Stir in the orange juice, and serve.
You've probably noticed that, unlike the other soup recipes I've highlighted, this particular recipe calls solely for vegetable broth. So, it's naturally vegan-friendly. It took me just under an hour to make, which is a little longer than many of the other Frontier Soups™ I've made. But it was well worth the time. My only out-of-pocket cost was $3.50 for the squash, as all the additional ingredients were already stocked in my kitchen.
The Spiced & Sweet Butternut Squash & Lentil Soup Mix™ is not only a metabolism-boosting blend, but it's also bursting with great flavor. I definitely recommend this one as a comfort food staple for weight loss seekers and health enthusiasts alike. Baby Aubrey really seemed to enjoy the overall texture of the soup and it was certified delicious by Ramsey and the hubby.
Hearty, Comforting Soups in Minutes
With all my family being at home amid the COVID-19 pandemic, quick and easy food options remain in high demand, as we're constantly trying to squeeze in lunches between video conferencing for work and school. I can honestly say these Frontier Soups™ have been a godsend. While I've highlighted just a few of the soup recipes here, trust that I enjoyed them all, especially other guilt-free varieties like the Mississippi Delta Tomato Basil Soup™, the Southwestern Chickpea Soup Mix™, and the Kale & Quinoa Soup Mix™.
Frontier Soups™ are very satisfying to prepare, serve and eat, as the recipes are incredibly versatile. Whether you follow a vegan, vegetarian or low-carb diet, you'll find a variety of soup recipes to suit your unique eating style and taste preferences. You can purchase your own soup mixes at AndersonHouseFoods.com and be sure to follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

Peugeot is certainly the most famous French car manufacturer in the world. It has more than 60 million vehicles sold on the entire planet. The brand is a successful one mostly because it tries to reunite excellence and emotion in its vehicles. And it is precisely this reunion that will also characterize the Peugeot 208 GTi, which has just been introduced as a special edition celebrating the 30th anniversary of the vehicle.
Peugeot 208 GTi has just had its official debut today at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. It brings a new Euro 6-compliant 1.6-liter THP 4-cylinder gasoline engine that generates 208 PS (153 kW) and 300 Nm (221 lb-ft). This makes it 8 PS (6 kW) and 25 Nm (18 lb-ft) more powerful than in the previous engine configuration. The engine enables the vehicle to sprint the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) distance in 6.5 seconds and it will reach 1 km (0.62 miles) from a standstill after 26.5 seconds. It needs six seconds in the 5th gear to accelerate from 50 mph (80 km/h) to 75 mph (120 km/h).
Peugeot 208 GTi also features a six-speed manual transmission as well as a Torsen limited slip differential together with retuned suspension and steering systems which should provide the car with "exceptional traction and efficiency." In addition, it is distinguished by a two-tone red and black livery and it sits on a set of 18-inch alloy wheels shod around in Michelin Pilot Super Sport 205/40 ZR 18 rubbers. Take a look at the special edition vehicle!

The elements created in Virtual DataPort can be organized in folders. These are: data sources, stored procedures, wrappers, views, Web services and widgets.
Although these elements can be organized in folders, you cannot create two elements with the same name in a database, even if they are located different folders.
folder_name is the full path of the new folder. That means that this parameter has to start with the character /. For example CREATE FOLDER '/folder1'.
If you want to create a subfolder /folderA/subfolderA, you have to create the folder folderA first and then, the subfolderA (see below).
The following statement changes the name of the folder folder for data sources to folder_for_ds.
You also have to use this syntax to move a folder into another folder. The following statement moves the folder /folder_for_ds into the folder /folderA.
To move an element to another folder, execute ALTER FOLDER <folder_name> MOVE... being folder_name the target folder.
Depending on the element that you want to move, you have to use the parameter DATASOURCE JDBC, DATASOURCE ODBC..., TABLE (for moving base views), VIEW (for moving combined views), etc.
The following statement moves a data source JDBC into the folder /folderA.
To copy an element, execute the command ALTER FOLDER <folder_name> COPY... being folder_name the target folder for the new element. The syntax is similar to ALTER FOLDER ... MOVE, but with AS <element new name:identifier> at the end to indicate the name of the target folder.
Remember that you cannot create two elements in the same database, with the same name and type, even if they are in different folders.
The following statement copies a Web service data source into the folder folderA.

Written by Lynda Calver on October 12, 2017.
Next year it will have been 100 years since women in the UK got the right to vote. While there has undoubtedly been huge progress in the area of women's rights since then, there is still a depressing chasm between women and men in many areas of life. This is particularly noticeable in my own field of expertise - finance.
Many 21st century women are financially independent with decent salaries, and they certainly save – 51% of women have savings accounts, compared to 50% of men, with the figures for ISAs 40% and 41%. Yet, female engagement in the stock market is far below that of men: a mere 10% of women have a stocks and shares ISA (the figure for men is 17%) and only half as many women as men have other investments or unit trusts (7 and 14% respectively). Why is this?
Thinktank 'Britainthinks' recently conducted an in-depth focus group with 12 successful women to try and get to the bottom of why women don't invest. It makes interesting reading. These were confident and successful women more than used to managing finances: four ran their own businesses, four were single parents and four were the main breadwinners in their family. And while all of them were saving, none had personally invested in stocks, shares or funds.
Several clear reasons emerge from the report, backed up by other information I have read online, as to why women steer clear of investing despite the fact that they have proved themselves more than capable of excelling at financial management.
Faced with overwhelming choice, women often don't know where to start when investing. While they are adept at making sure the bills are paid on time, budgeting household finances and shopping around for the best deals, they are put off investing by their confusion and the jargon used. Conversely, although men are no better at financial management than women, in fact, some studies suggest that women who do invest are more successful at it than men, they are more confident about investing in stocks. Women have a tendency to want to know everything and avoid anything which leaves question marks in their minds.
The solution to this of course is for women to educate themselves about different ways of investing, and there is a wealth of information online. Many people imagine that the stock market is just for the Gordon Gecko's amongst us, wheeler dealing their way to a fast buck, but in reality, the majority of investors are average Joes trying to invest wisely to fulfil their financial goals, most often a secure retirement. Usually the best way to achieve this is by saving regularly into a well-balanced portfolio over the long term. For starters, have a look at this article which explains the principle of dollar cost averaging, a good place to start your research perhaps. And why not seek the advice of a professional financial adviser who can answer any questions you have. We don't bite, honestly!
Risk is another big barrier for women to investing in stocks. Women tend to favour certainty of outcome over potential for profit which is why they keep their cash in savings accounts where the interest they earn is negligible right now. The thinking behind this is that at least they can be certain they aren't making a loss. There is still risk though – the value of the money is quietly eroded by inflation if interest rates are below inflation rates. But money invested can do so much better than that if you look at the long term.
Interestingly, amongst the focus group women, property was also seen as a safe haven for savings with some having invested in buy-to-lets and others interested in following that path. Of course, property can be a great investment but it is not risk-free.
The stock market is no different – risk is ever present but there are some easy ways of mitigating it. Any financial adviser worth their salt should take the time to understand your tolerance to risk and suggest an investment strategy that is apposite. There are off-the-shelf investment products suitable for everyone, even the most nervous of investors.
Women are turned off by the marketing of investment products which they don't relate to, often feeling that they are not wealthy enough to invest. Let me categorically state that you don't have to be phenomenally wealthy to invest, or to have a financial adviser. My clients, many of them women, come from all walks of life and have vastly differing income levels but they all have a desire to take control of their financial futures and make wise investment decisions which mean their money is working as hard as it can for them. Surely that's something you'd like too? If so, ignore the marketing chatter and look more closely at what investing could mean for you.
In a similar vein, women feel that getting the right financial advice will be too expensive. They perceive that a professional financial adviser will cost them dearly - but that doesn't have to be the case. Many advisers offer a free initial consultation and many take their fees from the product providers – they should be absolutely open with you about how they are remunerated, so don't be afraid to ask. It makes absolute sense to ask all the pertinent questions about the services provided and how they are charged and even if you do have to pay for advice, you may find it less expensive than you think and well worth the money if it means you have a clear financial plan which is helping to build your wealth.
"Untrustworthy" was the overwhelming reaction of the focus group to the financial services industry. It is true that the reputation of the industry has been blighted by scandals and shady operators, but it has cleaned up its act in recent years with increased regulation and a far more transparent approach. It is important to use advisors and investment managers with squeaky clean reputations and these should be easy enough to find. You need to feel comfortable with the person who you are confiding very personal information to so if you don't, move on and find someone else.
If you've been put off investing for whatever reason, perhaps it is time for a rethink? If you would like to explore how you can balance smart investing with managing risk I would love to talk through the options with you and answer any questions that are bothering you.


Do you feel self-conscious about a missing tooth? A dental bridge is a beautiful alternative to a dental implant for replacing a tooth and avoiding future oral health issues, such as tooth shifting and bite misalignment.
At Gardena Dental Care, we offer custom-made dental bridges that are uniquely fitted to you. Our dental bridges are a popular and affordable solution to fill in a missing tooth and restore the strength of your teeth.
Maryland Bonded Bridge: This option attaches the artificial tooth to porcelain wings instead of crowns. This is generally considered the least invasive choice.
Cantilever Bridge: A Cantilever bridge is used when only one natural tooth is present for keeping an artificial tooth in place.
Traditional Bridge: This most popular bridge attaches the prosthetic tooth to special crowns which are affixed to your adjacent teeth.
Initially, you will come in for a free introductory visit, which will include an examination and consultation with our dentist, Dr. Omid Barkhordar, and necessary x-rays. We will next utilize our modern equipment and technology to create detailed impressions of your mouth. This will guarantee a perfect fit for your dental bridge. Dr. Barkhordar will then prepare your teeth for their wings or crowns.
We will initially fit you with a temporary bridge to protect the placement site until your permanent bridge is ready. After we carefully craft your customized dental bridge, you will come to our office and your bridge will be expertly placed.

4th of July is a time to celebrate with friends and family, to hang out in the back yard, grill and enjoy the fireworks. But 4th of July and dogs don't always mix well, fireworks can be quite stressful for our furry friends, they can hear them from far away so even if you are not lighting them they could still hear them. According to pet recovery companies, this is one of the most active times of year for them which means many dogs get lost during this particular holiday.
So thinking about 4th of July and dogs we came up with a few tips to keep them safe and happy during the celebrations.
Microchip: The most important thing you can do ahead of the party is to microchip your dog. If your dog is already microchipped make sure your information is up to date in case your dog gets spooked and runs.
Collar: Make sure your dog's collar is secure and has tags with your phone number and address on it. Sometimes a neighbor might run into your dog and can quickly figure out where the dog belongs.
Quiet Spot: Set up a quiet spot for your dog to relax in and get away from the guests and noise from fireworks. A small, dark room like a bathroom or closet with very few windows or even a covered crate is a good option. This spot can be used while guests are arriving and leaving to ensure your dog's safety while your door is open and as a bit of a buffer for fireworks, both the light and noise they produce. This spot should have some fresh water, a chew toy and a comfy bed.
If you already know the celebrations will upset your dog and are therefore staying home. Think of some distractions for your dog, instead of trying to make your dog lie down, stay or fall asleep. Certain dogs can use a job as a distraction form the fireworks. It can be a new trick or practicing old tricks, playing fetch, teaching target, something that engages your dog's mind and body. Just like humans, when a dog is busy with a task, he is less likely to worry about his surroundings.
Food: Most 4Th of July celebrations include an abundance of food. Make sure your dog is not getting scraps or stealing food from everyone as this can upset their stomach. Foods like avocado, onions and grapes can be toxic to your dog.
Don't forget to tire out your pup before the party. A tired dog is always better behaved.
As the party rolls on, make sure your dog is getting potty breaks in a secure yard or on a leash. Fireworks can start at any moment and make your dog run so be prepared.
We hope our tips will be useful so your 4th of July with dogs goes smoothly. Now, let's celebrate!
