South Africa rolls up welcome mat for Zimbabwe workers

BULAWAYO, Zimbabwe -- Zimbabweans living in neighboring South Africa will soon find themselves deported in droves after the South African government announced it was revoking a special permission that has allowed Zimbabweans to live and work in Africa's largest economy.
A directive issued in September will withdraw in December a special dispensation announced last year that waived visa requirements for foreign migrant workers.
The visa suspension came into force as demand for labor peaked, especially in the construction industry as South Africa prepared to host the soccer World Cup in June. This provided employment opportunities for millions of Zimbabweans and inevitably opened the immigration floodgates.
While this allowed millions to stay in the country without official documents, it made it impossible to document the exact number of Zimbabweans scattered across the region's economic powerhouse. This in turn raised the specter of xenophobia as locals complained Zimbabwean cheap labor was depriving them of jobs.
About 2 million Zimbabweans have sought refuge and work in South Africa over the last decade, according to the International Organization for Migration, but other estimates put the number at up to 3 million. Many fled the political chaos that has engulfed Zimbabwe in recent years, but most are fleeing a collapsed economy.
Themba Maseko, spokesman for the South African government, told local media that the decision to withdraw the visa waiver was based on the belief that "some form of stability has returned to Zimbabwe," a claim disputed by human rights and exile groups.
South Africa is the Southern African Development Community-appointed mediator in the drawn-out disagreements between Zimbabwe's main political parties, which formed a government of national unity two years ago. Analysts believe South African President Jacob Zuma is under pressure at home and from the international community to show that his mediation efforts are bearing fruit.
While Zimbabwe government officials may be anxious about tens of thousands of returning workers and the loss of their salary remittances, they cannot publicly oppose the move. They are eager to show the international community that the political and economic situation has improved.
Political violence in 2000 sparked the exodus to South Africa and a lack of paying jobs at home spurred it on for a decade. With Zimbabwe entering a new political phase with the writing of a new constitution and another round of elections next year, human rights groups are reporting increased incidents of political violence and intimidation.
Though the visa suspension was announced as temporary last year, its withdrawal came as a surprise for some.
"They just want to throw us out without having done anything to help our country out of this political and economic mess," said Jacob Nare, a teacher who has taken up a job as a security guard in South Africa. "We cannot return [to Zimbabwe] when we know there are no jobs. I am not going back home to starve."
The Zimbabwe government is making frantic efforts to issue passports to its nationals in South Africa, but critics say that with the country's limited resources, this is going to be a tough exercise, considering the huge number of Zimbabweans who have illegally settled in South Africa.
For the lucky few who have or can secure a Zimbabwe passport, they must still find the money for visa fees, which can come to $260, an amount out of reach for many.
"The people here are in a panic mode as they can see themselves deported come December," said a Mariannhill missionary working with Zimbabwean immigrants in South Africa.
"There is a general feeling [among South Africans] that the situation that led to the immigration in the first place has changed, but not many Zimbabweans living here agree," said the priest, who requested anonymity to protect his work.
For those still living in Zimbabwe, like self-employed Timothy Dube, the scrapping of the special permit to live and work in South Africa means that even if he is faced with real threats to his life during the writing of a new constitution, he will not be able to flee to South Africa.
"We will never be able to acquire the legal documents to enable us to work there," Dube said. "Not many people who already do not have jobs will ever be able to raise visa fees so it means we will be stuck here forever."
Still, a lack of documents hasn't stopped millions of Zimbabweans in the past from entering South Africa, their dreamland, illegally.
Nare remains defiant: "We have been arrested and deported before so nothing will change after this announcement. We will stay here as long as it takes."

Q: How do I get color coded console output from SBT on OSX? Right now the only color in my SBT output is in the line prefixes (e.g. [info], [error], etc.) and stage information (e.g. == compile ==, etc.).
Is it possible to get color information for the filenames and line numbers of errors?
For example, in the output:
[error] /src/main/scala/DataLoader.scala:108: value id is not a member of Entity

At the very least, I would like DataLoader and 108 to be a different color than the default terminal color.
(Look, even SO can do it!)

A: Check your sbt launch script using the text editor of your choice.  The default one will have something like this,
#!/bin/bash
java -Dsbt.log.noformat=true -Xms512M -Xmx1536M -Xss1M -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:MaxPermSize=384M -jar `dirname $0`/sbt-launch.jar "$@"

If it does, just remove the -Dsbt.log.noformat=true part and it should then show colour.

President's comments cross all lines of decency
I'm filled with remorse, not with the man, but at ourselves wondering what we were thinking when we voted in — a highly questionable assertion at that —our 45th President of the United States of America. It's like, dang couldn't we have done a tat better? We've seen and had enough of the POTUS picking fights, throwing tantrums, ignoring rules, lying, cheating, being remiss in his duties, misappropriating funds, alienating allies, fraternizing with the enemies of the state and generally making a spectacle of him and this country in public. Tragically it's the norm for this President of the United States to verbally degrade not only "his" non-white constituency who disagree with his political policies but he has graduated to assailing with racist remarks our duly elected non-white members of Congress. It just isn't right.

Tulare County needs to develop farmworker mental health programs
Farmworkers have unique challenges that impact their lives associated with language barriers, documented status, and their role in the agriculture work sector. Despite their challenges, the majority of these farmworkers do not receive or are aware of programs provided by human service agencies in Tulare County. This means, that we have a community that is at risk of social isolation. Social isolation is not only a social issue, but it is also a health issue that according to the American Academy of Social Work & Social Welfare, can be as harmful as smoking cigarettes. Studies have shown that social networks and cultural/community integration are important for individuals to feel a sense of belonging. This farmworker sub-community is only a glimpse of one marginalized community in our Central Valley, and so as community partners, we need to look more closely at current and incoming policies and question whether these policies are created equal.

We're company that is small enough to care but large enough to take care of you.
What makes up a servicing contract?
Your fire alarm servicing contract covers you for a minimum regulatory two service visits a year (four for higher-risk premises). From the minute your fire alarm maintenance contract starts, you will have access to us 24/7, whether that's just for advice, technical assistance or emergency call-outs.

During the fire alarm service visits our engineer will test your fire alarm system and discuss any issues to you. He will fill out your fire log book (which we provide at the start of your contract free of charge) and leave you with a written report for your records. If he recommends any remedial work we aim to have our quote emailed to you within 24 hours of the service visit. Jo in the office is always on hand to help with any questions you may have.
What fire alarm systems do we maintain and service?
We can take-over and maintain / service virtually all commercial fire alarm systems on the market. Everything from basic 2-zone conventional systems with a handful of devices, to complex, networked addressable systems with thousands of devices.

Resolving these problems early is important, before they become major, costly issues. Servicing also gives you the peace of mind that you are meeting your fire safety requirements. This will help to reduce false fire alarms. Futhermore, the amount of downtime resulting from just one false fire alarm could cost you far more in business disruption and lost sales than the price of an annual fire alarm maintenance contract.

Creating a new, contemporary American dance
"My works … are infused with a spirit of resilience where dancers fail, suffer losses, fall to the ground again and again, are repeatedly reborn, and re-commit to life-forces, building energy and rumblings of change."
– By Ananya Chatterjea, artistic director
The dynamic intersections of auto-rickshaws, pedestrians, and overflowing public buses on Kolkata streets/ high-energy drumming during the festival of goddess Durga/ long lines of political processions obstructing traffic for hours/ the fragrance of jasmine flowers tangled in hair after rehearsal/ heated political arguments inside coffeeshops, shape my work, bringing tension and angularity to my practice of flow.
"Kshoy! / Decay!" 2010
Like those streets, where a multinational bank stands beside a small, broken-down shrine and women's groups perform street theater at the bus stop outside my guru's classical dance studio, my urban aesthetic is imbued with spiritual possibilities, and my work is in dialogue with the secular and the political. My commitment to choreographing women's stories and themes of social justice took form as I walked the protest-rich streets of Kolkata, hearing, in memory, my mother's songs about the dreams she longed to have fulfilled.
This dense landscape, whose rhythms and quick turns of events contest each other, where one's journeys are filled with sweat, resignation, and grit, is my experience of urbanity. This way of knowing the world, typical of the postcolonial global south, is embedded in my consciousness, and fractures the classical rhythms and idealized harmony in which I was trained. And so, in some ways, my current work is very different from my beginnings as a classical dancer, an exponent of Odissi. From a different perspective, my work today is integrally connected to the core philosophy of those traditional practices.
"Ashesh Barsha: Unending Monsoon" 2009
Caught between the beauty of the classical dance and the urgency of street theater of which I was part, I left my path as Odissi dancer in search of dance that could speak to my realities. But my experiences had crafted my consciousness in important ways: I became an unwavering teller of women's stories. One day, in rehearsal for a classical piece about the divine lovers, Radha and Krishna, we were waiting for one of the lead dancers. When she finally stumbled into rehearsal, she was black and blue, assaulted by a husband jealous of the publicity she was receiving. Stunned, I asked Guruji how she could dance about romantic love when she had just experienced its failure. Guruji's response was non-committal: In the classical world, we dance the ideal. Since then, and through time, my commitment has been to telling the stories of everyday women in their daily lives, stories of struggle, resilience, and courage.
Yorchha™
Yet, as I crafted Yorchha™, my new language of contemporary Indian dance, I realized that while I wanted to move away from a classical worldview, static notions of tradition, and depictions of women as goddesses, mothers, or lovers, my classical training offered a powerful beginning for creating a contemporary dance vocabulary that located the movement aesthetic in my specific cultural context. Yorchha™ is marked by an interweaving of the upper body spirals and curvilinear balances of the Odissi, the breath flow and spinal extensions of vinyasa yoga, and the hip shifts and pelvic floor extensions of Chhau. The remix and dialogue of these movement principles creates a contemporary dance language rooted in indigenous concepts of the body, feminist and feminine at the same time.
Training in Indian dance generally does not include overt instruction in choreography; thus, I spent many years identifying the principles that had been used to create traditional repertoire. Researching the way my guru's guru created and taught new pieces as part of the 1960's revival of Odissi, I realized that a core principle is the invocation of a layered emotional landscape. My work reimagines and extends the choreographic methodology of such expressive abhinaya pieces, juxtaposing multiple metaphoric non-linear narratives to suggest the complexity of human experience.
Shawngram™
Marked by emotional landscapes unfolding through rhythmic structures, my choreography riffs off of classical time cycles to hit jagged beats and unevenly juxtaposed time signatures. The interrupted phrasings that organize my choreography, through footwork, breath, and internal vibration, articulate an urban contemporary landscape and the philosophy of Shawngram™, struggle and resistance as an active daily force, at the core of my work.
In the dances I make, Shawngram™ articulates confrontation, devastation, and trauma in stories about the fight for justice. It leads me to search for moments of ensemble work, women dancing together, emanating power through their footwork. Shawngram™ infuses my work with a spirit of determination, where women from global communities of color battle barriers in their lives with courage. Yorchha™ embodies this aspiration and struggle, refusing idealized beauty, refracting traditional vocabularies, and intersecting their movement principles in unusual ways to create complex expressive possibilities.
The intersection of the technique of Yorchha™ with the philosophy of Shawngram™ creates dancing that is infused with desire for beauty and justice. This I describe as Aanch, heat. Heat flows in the directed energy of dancing to audiences, calling them into the work. This call to action, Daak, is always part of my choreography, where audiences are invited to move with the dancers in structured participatory experiences. Such moments, where different bodies with different histories share dancing and negotiate their paths amid strangers, affirm my belief in dance's power to move hearts and build community.
"Neel: Blutopias of Radical Dreaming" 2014
Leading audiences into making movement meaningful and connected to their lives is my practice of #occupydance. In concert experiences, I invite audiences to join the performers at specific moments, with simple gestural language, in the hope that it remains within the muscle memory of audiences, sparking questions later on. Differently, my "performance installations" are built on the premise of audience interaction. The space is choreographed very particularly, audiences are given clear directions, which they might interpret in different ways, and my dancers must improvise within the movement aesthetic and intention, while responding to audiences. This work has been more difficult to document because of media permissions and the interruptions that happen when cameras enter the thick of people dancing.
"Mohona: Estuaries of Desire" 2013
My evening-length works are built through the exploration of a social justice theme. The creative process is initiated by research and conversations with leaders from global women of color communities, which creates space for sharing stories and movement. These #Spinespin conversations spark the choreographic process and build alliances with the broader community of women who I invite into my work.
My work often juxtaposes contesting narratives to unravel themes. These stories are partly remembered, partly researched, and mostly imagined. I define my dancers as cultural activists and encourage them to develop ownership of the stories, perform them with power, and see themselves as crucial agents of research and community engagement. The creative process includes dialogues, workshops and rigorous rehearsal, quickening the relationships among dancers. Dancing together while celebrating our differences is vital and nuanced labor and reminds us of our shared beliefs and the real possibility of transformation.

Because my dances tell stories of an ensemble of women who come from "everywhere and nowhere at the same time," and are as much about individual as community experiences, ensemble work embedded with individual voices is vital in my choreography. Dancing together and performing unison choreography are important values in the work, as are respect for different approaches to the material, different body types, and different backgrounds of the dancers. This difference-in-togetherness principle also supports the multiple narratives that often run parallel, merge, or comment upon each other in the choreography.
My works seldom reside in a settled sense of happiness or beauty. Rather, their structures are infused with a spirit of resilience where dancers fail, suffer losses, fall to the ground again and again, are repeatedly reborn, and re-commit to life-forces, building energy and rumblings of change. This spirit leads me to multi-year works, where I invest in understanding the multiple aspects of an issue over time. This sustained, embodied investigation is my way of celebrating and archiving little known histories of women of color.

Mysterio started to annoy me when he started doing the Eddie shimmy as a hulk up spot in his matches. If he knocks that off, he comes off the shit list.
Every time Rey speaks, I want to lawn dart him.
Rey is not a world class promo. I'd venture to say he's as bad as Orton. People will probrably cite his work in the Eddie/Dominic angle, but I didn't think Rey was any good in that. Eddie and Dominic were.
Black Lushus 0
Vanessa who...? Ashley what...?
I know I was one of the ones that screamed loudest for a Rey title reign, but all of his booking after the Rumble and even before hand with all the "I'm doing this for Eddie" junk has really salted me on that. If he does indeed win, it will be a crappy Edge-like reign, so why bother?
Edge's title reign was entertaining..
But they almost HAVE to put the belt on Rey Mysterio now because they let him lose to Orton at No Way Out, he can't dissapoint Eddie Guerrero again....If Mysterio loses this main event he'll never be a real Main Eventer unless he gets screwed at WrestleMania but they probably won't do that.
as entertaining as Edge was (hell I never liked Edge until he became the "Rated R Superstar"), his reign was a joke the way it was handled...he beat an already battered and bloody champ to win it (don't get me wrong, this move was perfectly booked for his character to do), beat a 57 year old guy in a TLC match and then lost it right back to Cena. He's a great heel, someone who I think has FINALLY found his niche in the WWE, but his reign as champ has to go down as one of the shitiest of all times.
what's going to suck for Rey is that you just know Orton will be the guy he eventually drops the belt to...two losses to Orton in one year: first for the title shot, second for the title...what is he, Orton's bitch now?
He is because the WWE doesn't have faith in lil Rey Rey. They still see Orton as a future big star and expect him to be a great Heel Champion. Edge is the best Heel in the WWE right now, HE deserved to stay champion, he deserves to be the one to get the belt off Rey.
Oh wait weren't there rumours about Kane winning the World Title at Judgment Day?

Hey guys just wanted to get some feed back on the different pics that are up there. I see that wwe stuff all the time and wanted to give you guys something special. And for those that think I dont read the comment board. I do! How else would i know about all the different opinions goin on. Im leaving for our last live event run before wm 22. I just finished a canadian media tour for wm. I talk a lot to media, to critics and to people who have self proclaimed knowledge of the business that is wwe. Its so funny to me sometimes to hear an "educated" reporter or fan tell me what is happenning in our business. There seems to be a lot of talk in wrestler university about me "turning heel". This IS whats going to happen. The "smart" people will keep plottting, planning, and conjuring up scenarios that they feel are right, dont get me wrong every opinion matters but there is a huge difference between opinion and fact, I will keep being me. So while the so called 'experts' can tell me what Im doing for the next 6 months. I only worry about today. I am not a 'babyface' or a 'heel'. I am me. That is why people tell me to f*ck off, and that is why people are willing to stand up for me. I love my job, and my life, i am blessed to be myself and I try to let the fans experience many things that go on with me that most superstars dont. I am not ashamed of who I am, where I came from, or what I have become. These are the last words ill write before the most important day of my short career. I guess what im trying to say is, enjoy this. Enjoy it as much as I do. Some times people dont have all the answers and sometimes there is no right and wrong and you just have to live the moment and enjoy it, for whatever it brings. I know ive already said this but thank you matt, who has his own myspace under matt cena, you are a true inspiration to me to 'never quit'. Thanks to dan, john fabulous, steve, and boog, and to mom dukes to. I love you guys. Dave nock, you have been like a second father to me and i would go to war with you any day of the week, thanks for your help in gettin ready for mania. To all those supporting me I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN! you have my word. win loose or draw i will be my best for april 2nd! hope you guys enjoy, and check out the picture of the awa ring that i used to have. I also had the Barron Von Raschke doll whos hand came in the claw position! The Claw! Sweet! Till after the dance!
HUSTLE. LOYATLY. RESPECT.
lol at cena cutting myspace promos
First he's shooting and then he's cutting a promo again, make up your mind Cena!
I wonder how many people on Cena's friends list have ever heard of Baron Von Raschke.
Completely agree there. If the Eddie loved would have waned a little bit after RR, I'd still be stoked for a Rey title reign. As it is, I'd rather have Angle retain.
As for Edge, it's horrible what they did to him . . . but, as long as the spear is one of his primary finishers, I couldn't care less about the guy. Yes, his finisher is enough to ruin my appreciation for him.
CanadianChick 0
I wonder how many people on Cena's friend list can spell "friend".
To be honest, Cena should have cut the first half of the myspace promo (when you are ripping off Chris Hero, you got problems) on Raw. I know he briefly touched on the "I am Me. You can love me or hate me, it's your choice" aspect of his character but they should have hammered that he isn't concerned with the fans because it's all about being the champ.
So that way, when he gets shit on at Mania, they can point at that promo as the "cause".
Hulk Hogan appeared on the Bubba The Love Sponge radio show today and stated that he will not be at Wrestlemania this Sunday. Hogan said that after appearing at the Hall Of Fame ceremony on Saturday night in Chicago (where Hogan will induct Mean Gene Okerlund), he will then travel to Long Beach, California, where he will be involved in a race on Sunday with his son Nick.
Hogan then said that WWE is going to be flying him back to Chicago for Raw on Monday night, and that Vince McMahon is proposing an angle for the show involving himself and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Obviously, whenever Hogan makes statements like the above, you have to take them with a grain of salt, but he did say it. So, according to Hogan, he won't appear at Wrestlemania, but will be at Raw on Monday, and Vince McMahon hasn't given up on Hogan and Austin working together.

I met Tomko and Trevor Murdoch in downtown Chicago today. Trevor was great. He was in character and was spitting in his Powerrade cup. Tomko was in a suit and was extremely polite. Both seem like great guys. Got their autograph on a Wrestlemania card.
There's something amusing about a slovenly, redneck drinking power-ade next to a tall guy in a suit.
From the latest FoleyIsBlog:
http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/mickfoley/foleyisblog
With a little luck, I'll have plenty to write about in next week's entry. I guess it all depends on which Mick Foley shows up at WrestleMania. If it's the guy who showed up at WrestleMania XX — the guy who went out with the goal of not embarrassing himself — it might make for pretty bleak reading. If it's the guy who showed up a month later at Backlash 2004 — the guy who showed up to tear down the house — then I should have a heck of an entry.
For better or worse, there's no Backlash in my future this year — no second chance for redemption. It's pretty much do-or-die for me. Okay, "do-or-die" might be overdoing it a little, but WrestleMania may well decide whether I'm fit to be a main-event wrestler anymore, or whether I'll just work my last few matches over the next couple of years as an added attraction, the sixth guy in a six-man tag or a surprise Royal Rumple participant.
Either way, it's my last appearance in WWE for a while, (although I will continue to supply "Foley is Blog" on a weekly basis), and I'd much rather go out with a sense of accomplishment instead of disappointment.
I'm under no illusion that this is going to be an easy match. Indeed, if I do my job correctly, I will barely be able to get out of bed the next day. The Backlash match with Randy Orton took a hell of a toll on me, and I imagine this one will, too. At my age, with my history of not treating my body all that kindly, there's a price to be paid for everything I do. I just hope the reward is worth it.
For years, I considered myself a guy who brought out the best in his opponents. Edge may very well be a guy on the brink of being a major WWE player for years to come. He also might very well slip down the ladder a few notches to that wrestling purgatory known as "middle of the card." An awful lot depends on this match. But, this time the tables might well be turned. It's Edge who will need to bring out the best in me. Assuming of course, that I've still got it.

this JBL promo at the WM PRess conference is tremendous. In reference to the fact he took a title from Eddie and is about to take one from Benoit:
"This is the equivelent of taking a title from Lou Thesz and Harley Race within two years". He then goes on to say he should be on last because no one can follow him... it was really good and did the job of getting me pumped for that US title bout.
And the day before he said..
During an appearance on the Scott and Todd radio show out of New York City yesterday, host Todd Pettengill asked Hulk Hogan if he would be wrestling at WrestleMania 22. Hogan said that he is bringing his gear to the show and said that anything can happen. He also said that he wanted to wrestle Steve Austin on the show but that things did not work out.

In an interview with the Connecticut Hersam Acorn Newspapers, Triple H spoke about allegedly holding talent back.
"I hear all these stories about things I supposedly did or who I'm holding back and it doesn't bother me. You just deal with it. There are people out there who are going to think you're great and there are people out there who are going to think you're crap. There have been some unfair claims, but I realize I'm a scapegoat for some people."

RVD discusses all on Between the Ropes! WM, Flair, Drugs, One Night Stand, etc,.
Between The Ropes
Central Florida's Sports Radio 740 The Team
Simulcast online at the brand new BetweenTheRopes.com
On Wednesday night, March 29, WWE superstar "Mr. Monday Night" Rob Van Dam joined hosts Brian Fritz, Dickerman, and Vito DeNucci live on Between The Ropes on Central Florida's Sports Radio 740 The Team to chat about WrestleMania 22, Money In The Bank, his health since returning to the ring, and much more.
Don't forget that Between The Ropes and ECW Press will release the brand new book, Between The Ropes: Wrestling's Greatest Triumphs and Failures, this May. For more information and details on how to pre-order, visit the brand new BetweenTheRopes.com.
Rob joined the guys live from Chicago fresh off a crazy WrestleMania autograph signing at Popeye's Chicken & Biscuits. The turnout was so huge that despite staying past the allowed time, he had to leave with several hundred fans in line.
Asked how his surgically repaired knee is doing, Van Dam said it's holding up. He's experienced some discomfort in the thirty-five or so matches he's had since returning at the Royal Rumble, but it's nothing worth mentioning. He realizes he's no longer completely indestructible in the ring. During his year off, he did a lot of appearances and autograph signings for the first couple of months and did some international promotional work in Australia and England for the company. He spent some time with friends in Las Vegas in the latter months while rehabbing and getting ready to return.
Van Dam said the first week back in the ring, his body and his brain and his stamina probably weren't on the same page. Since then, it hasn't been a problem. He noted that he's been on every Raw house show and every TV since returning at the Rumble, except, as he pointed out, Saturday Night's Main Event. "Apparently they only had three matches and it was geared toward promoting the matches that they care about at WrestleMania."
Asked if he feels any pressure going into the Money In The Bank match on Sunday, he said he's looking forward to it since it will be more of a hardcore environment, ECW style match. He feels more pressure going out there in the confines of a traditional wrestling match. He doesn't mind sacrificing his body in these types of matches to show off how tough he is. He's looking to incorporate some ladder spots that WWE fans may not have seen from his ECW days. One unique game plan he has in mind, "I thought that maybe if the ladder was tall enough, if I got a chance, I might be able to use it to get my head through that glass ceiling." He added that there's no better place to try to break through than WrestleMania.
Asked about working with Ric Flair in a ladder match, Van Dam said he gained a lot of respect for Flair after watching his performance in the ladder match against Edge on Raw. He became even more of a fan of Flair that night. He talked about cracking heads with Flair in the three-way on Raw two weeks ago. Flair had a black eye and a bloody nose and didn't miss a beat. Rob considered Flair as tough as a 20 year old. Rob needed ten stitches to close the gash under his eye from that spot.
RVD's promo from ECW One Night Stand was brought up and whether it's going to lead to additional promo time on TV as everyone expected. "That's a good question. I don't know. So far I haven't been too impressed with the freedom on the mic that was so hyped up and talked about on my time off. About when I come back, they're going to capitalize on that because I expressed myself and they want to capture that spirit....I don't know exactly for sure. I got on the mic on Monday before Flair hit me in the head with the ladder and that felt really good because Shelton was on the mic and Ric was on the mic. I thought if I don't get on the mic, for sure this is pretty much saying, 'whatever.'"
Rob was asked for his thoughts on the new WWE Wellness Program. "Basically, I believe that some of young guys who haven't been around years ago when all of our peers were dropping dead commonly, because of that, I think they can use some guidance so they don't abuse substances. I think there should be some way to do that. On the other hand, as far as everybody across the board and having control of everybody like that, I'm not sure that's going to help out everything and not make some things worse. I don't know. I definitely like the idea of getting everybody checked out. They're talking about doing the heart scans and all that. I think that's a great idea. I've already gotten all that done myself. I've gotten everything done myself on my time off to make sure everyone's cool here. I don't feel like I need it as much and being part of the program, we'll see how it goes. I guess if there are guys with problems, this will and should anyway detect that and hopefully keep some people alive."
Rob finished off talking about the new season of his favorite television show, Scrubs on NBC, and mentioned he will be in attendance at UFC 59 on April 15 at The Pond in Anaheim to see Tito Ortiz fight Forest Griffin. He also plugged his comic book store, which can be found online at 5starscomics.com.

Those who are uninsured may review plans on marketplace websites.
Because of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), optometrists need to be ready for new opportunities to participate in insurance plans and treat new patients.
Many ODs are receiving solicitations from insurance companies to participate in exchange-based health plans with an embedded pediatric vision essential health benefit. As with all insurance programs, practitioners should thoroughly review participation agreements and assess contract terms carefully, according to the AOA Third Party Center.
The new exchanges, or marketplaces, are now open. Insurers offering plans generally will be well-established companies such as Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Aetna or UnitedHealth. These companies will determine if they will use existing provider networks for the new plans or establish distinct new networks, said Stephen Montaquila, O.D., chair of the AOA Third Party Center Executive Committee.
"In some cases, insurance companies may issue separate contracts to health care practitioners for their new exchange-based plans, some of which will likely include lower reimbursement rates," Dr. Montaquila said.
Optometrists should also note that offers to participate will come from insurance companies—not the management of the exchanges. "The exchanges have little, if anything, to do with provider contracting," Dr. Montaquila said.
Uninsured people will be able to log onto marketplace websites—modeled after travel sites such as Travelocity or Expedia—to review plans and purchase a policy online. Many marketplaces will offer 800 telephone lines and "walk-in" offices as well.
Of the 51 health insurance marketplaces being developed across the U.S., 19 will be state-based exchanges, 25 will federally facilitated exchanges, and seven will be "partnership" exchanges, developed jointly by state and federal government. In addition, multi-state plans will be available in 31 states in 2014 and in all states by 2017.
Specifics on the federally facilitated exchanges have not been announced yet. However, information on state-based and partnership exchanges is available now through a state-by-state health insurance exchange locator. These websites include contact information and some details on how to apply to become providers. State optometric associations also may provide additional information for their members.
AOA members have access to resources and FAQs (member log-in required) to help explain the new marketplaces and assess participation in plans. Members also may email the AOA Third Party Center for assistance.

(Rental)-Team Offense Improvement Guide
In this informative video, Jennie Baranczyk shares her secrets for success on the basketball court. As the head coach of Oklahoma, she has developed a reputation for turning programs around and helping players make better decisions on the court. With on-the-court demonstrations and game film, viewers will gain valuable insights into how to improve their team's performance.
Shooting Drills and Transition Build-Up
One of the keys to success on the basketball court is being able to make shots. In this video, Baranczyk demonstrates a variety of dynamic warm-up drills that will help players get more reps in practice. From 'warmup shooting', where players set up in four lines and have to beat the clock, to 'On the Move Shooting', where players are constantly moving to get shots up from different spots, these drills will help players improve their footwork and shooting ability.
In addition to shooting drills, Baranczyk also provides an in-depth look at how she trains her players to push the ball in transition and make quick scoring decisions. Starting with a 2-on-0 drill, she gradually builds up to 5-on-0 situations, all the while focusing on proper spacing and how to play off a baseline drive, middle drives and post touches.
Advantage and Disadvantage Drills
To help her players improve during advantage and disadvantage situations, Baranczyk uses two highly effective drills. In the 4-on-2 drill, players are split into teams and given the goal of scoring in a half-court, 4-on-2 situation. In the 3-on-2 continuous drill, teams set up in a 3-on-2 situation in the half-court and work together to try and score.
Throughout the video, Coach Baranczyk emphasizes the importance of creating open shots and scoring opportunities. With these drills, viewers will learn how to train their players to gain offensive advantages, make quick reads and maximize scoring opportunities.
Overall, this video is a must-have for any basketball coach looking to take their team to the next level. With easy-to-understand instructions and on-the-court demonstrations, viewers will come away with a wealth of knowledge to help improve their team's performance.

QantasLink CEO John Gissing said the new route demonstrated the airline's continued commitment to Tamworth.
"Qantas has a long and proud history in Tamworth, and we're pleased to be offering this new service and the opportunities it provides," he said.
"As Australia's largest regional airline, we know the value of connecting country cities to capitals, and we're proud to be bringing Brisbane a little closer to Australia's country music capital.
"Direct flights to Brisbane give our Tamworth customers more options for one-stop connections into Queensland and around the world through our international network."
Tamworth MP Kevin Anderson said the addition of the new route was fantastic news for the city.
"This government has invested more than $6.2 million to upgrade the Tamworth Regional Airport terminal to make it the front gate for Tamworth to the world," he said.
"Tamworth has so much to offer as a regional centre of excellence in food production, entertainment, health and education. This air service will help capitalise on what we have to offer.
"I'm really pleased to hear in these tough times that Qantas is prepared to front up and create a new air route for this city."
Tamworth Regional Council Mayor Col Murray said he is looking forward to the increased connectivity between Brisbane and Tamworth.
"Our growing region has a lot to offer. These additional flights will provide Queenslanders with further opportunities to explore business and leisure in our area, and locals with increased accessibility to major centres around the country," he said.
"We are excited to see the economic benefits that this increased connectivity will provide."

The Craft of Chocolate
by Darren Jones August 15, 2020
A large variety of chocolates is spread around the globe but the one that stands out the most is Artisan Chocolate. These chocolates are considered special ones. These chocolates are made by small chocolate makers who are known as artisans. Artisans understand their craft intimately; that's why these chocolates are special because of their making procedure and craftsmanship of the artisans.
What Makes Artisan Chocolate Stand Out
Artisan chocolates are specially made by specific artisans. Artisans are mainly experts in making food or drink with high-quality ingredients in a traditional or non-mechanized way.
How it is Made
Artisans don't use machinery like factories. We can say artisans make chocolates by their hands. As it is considered a craft, these are made with more care and effort. Usually, there is no specific recipe for artisan chocolates. Each artisan has his recipe or method. No chocolate factory can produce artisan chocolates without having an artisan in the factory. Because no machinery or technology can put the effort.
Why Do People Love it the most?
People all around the globe love chocolate for sure. But all the chocolates are not very healthy. People with strict diets can not have many chocolates. For those people, artisan chocolates are the best. Artisan chocolates contain low sugar and low fats. Artisans make these with care and love. That's why these do not contain any chemical ingredients & appears as helpful to them who are in strict diets. Moreover, these chocolates contain many helpful ingredients & provide antioxidants, flavonoids to the human body. In a nutshell, these chocolates are that type of chocolates that do not harm the human body though they taste so delicious. For this, people love artisan chocolates so much.
Why are these Considered Crafts?
The chocolate factory has now become a huge industry. Basically, in factories, they produce chocolate bars with various kinds of machinery and use many technologies. In factories, they don't produce chocolates with the top most care & also add extra fat, sugar, preservatives, and many more chemicals.
But, the chocolates that are made by artisans are like crafts. As people do crafts with love and care artisans also make chocolates with love and care. They make chocolates with the best possible ingredients and even some artisans go for organic ingredients. The artisans need to have the proper knowledge about this and need to have love and affection. These things are not needed in the factory-made chocolate bars. For this, artisan chocolates have been considered as crafts for centuries.
Why should You Consider it as the Best Gift?
As previously said these are like crafts and made with love and we all know that love & care are considered as the most precious gifts. So, for any kind of chocolate lover, these can be the best gifts on any occasion which can emphasize your emotions through the symbols of love, care, and preciousness. For these reasons, people from all around the world consider it as the best gift.
Final Insight
Chocolates are always alluring! Artisan chocolates are more alluring and tasteful. These chocolates are made by amazing craftsmen who are known as artisans. And they also have that amazing craftsmanship of making chocolates with care and love. Artisan chocolates have a rich craftsmanship history behind & that's why these are delicious and also precious; moreover, for making them happy, it can be the best gift for your loved ones.

Five Springboks to keep an eye on
These are the men who can help shape the latest chapter of Rassie Erasmus' revolution.
Lukhanyo Am. Photo: Gallo Images.
Another early chapter in Rassie Erasmus' Springbok revolution commences this weekend when they commence their Rugby Championship campaign against Argentina in Durban on Saturday.
The national coach has noted how he has to balance long-term planning with enough experience to mount a credible World Cup challenge next year.
It's a difficult balance.
Here are five players who'll potentially play a crucial role in achieving that balance.
MALCOLM MARX

It's fairly obvious why the bulldozing, dynamic hooker is such a crucial piece of the puzzle.
The 23-year-old is, essentially, a flanker playing in the No 2 jersey.
While his basics have improved immeasurably – such as scrumming and lineout throwing – Marx's greatest asset is his presence in broken play.
He's a great ball-carrier and his breakdown ability will more than make up for Duane Vermeulen's absence.
FRANCOIS LOUW

It's tough being an older player in a Springbok side.
The local rugby public actually doesn't have much sympathy for the wiser men of the world and easily favour a younger player.
Louw is 33 and you can bet top dollar that if he doesn't hit his straps reasonably quickly, the outcry will be loud.
The veteran flanker has an important role to play, specifically because he's versatile.
There are still question marks over whether Warren Whiteley fits into Erasmus' ideal template for a loose trio, leading to the possibility that the Lions skipper will only play certain matches.
That means Louw might have to be shifted to No 8 – role he fulfilled superbly against the All Blacks at Newlands last year – emphasising his value.
APHIWE DYANTYI
Aphiwe Dyantyi. Photo: Gallo Images.
The Lions winger has been one of the success stories of the 2018 season.
In fact, the 23-year-old's year has progressed in exactly the manner the national coaching staff would've wanted.
He first proved a try-scoring machine, then showed up well when the going got tough for the Lions, made his international mark against England and delivered rounded, all-round showings in the Super Rugby knockouts.
It suggests that Dyantyi is more than just a one-trick pony.
He can slug it out in tight games while his unpredictability adds a massive dimension to South Africa's backline play.
But he's facing top-class opponents over the next few weeks.
It will challenge Dyantyi relishes.
FRANS MALHERBE
Frans Malherbe. Photo: Gallo Images.
It says much of the Stormers tighthead's ability that his coaches show so much faith in him despite a poor injury record.
The 27-year-old is a prop in the classical mould, a strong scrummer, carrier and hard defender.
If Malherbe manages to string together a few months of action, the evidence suggests he could be a key player.
But the injury ghost continues to haunt him in that regard.
Another factor is the Boks' depth in the No 3 jersey.
Various men such as Thomas du Toit, Coenie Oosthuizen and Wilco Louw are knocking on the door.
It means that while Malherbe has the inside lane to make the position his own, he can't be complacent.
LUKHANYO AM
It hasn't been easy for the Sharks star to make the jump from Super Rugby to Tests.
His performances against England were lukewarm at best but it also probably didn't help him much that he to partner Damian de Allende, whom he hasn't played much with.
Am's set of skills make him an ideal international centre.
He's a fine distributor, robust tackler and a man who runs good lines.
Also, the 24-year-old is a very underrated ball poacher.
The Bok midfield is still up for grabs and perhaps a partnership with his Sharks teammate Andre Esterhuizen will bring out the best in him.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager: Season Six Plans Revealed by Series Creator
by Regina Avalos, October 29, 2015
The Secret Life of the American Teenager was cancelled by ABC Family two years ago, but there are still loyal fans that were left unsatisfied with the ending of the series. The finale was left open-ended with Amy moving to New York.
After the cast reunited for a wedding recently, the reunion generated new interest in the series and its ending. Fans wanted to know what would happened to the characters if the series continued to air. MTV asked the creator of the series, Brenda Hampton, that question, and she gave a very detailed answer.
She revealed that Amy did move to New York, and she stayed in New York. However, she did not stay alone in New York City. After a couple of years, her entire family, including her son and his father moved to New York City to be with her.
"The cross-country travel while taking on college was just too stressful for Amy, but no one wanted to see her abandon her dreams so everyone came to her. That's right, Grandpa George, Ricky and John all in an apartment in Brooklyn Heights, all so Amy could be with John more often while getting her degree. But they were a safe distance away over the Brooklyn Bridge, and she remained in the dorm for a few years."
After college, Amy started a career in documentary films and Ricky went for the business side of things, and he worked to open a fast food chain.
As fans can see, Brenda Hampton, knew exactly where she wanted to take Amy and the rest of her family on The Secret Life of the American Teenager. She had it all planned out, but the series was cancelled after season five. There was not a sixth season.
MTV also asked if it was possible to bring back the series, and Hampton made it clear that was not possible. She did take a moment to thank the loyal fans that did watch the series while it aired.
"Because this is the reality of producing a long-running series, it's very difficult to keep all the actors together over the years. Hey, it's difficult to keep fans as well! So I want to thank all the fans who watched us for five seasons and for still caring what happens to Ricky and Amy and everyone in "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" family."
Check out the MTV article to find out more about what would happened to the other characters on the series. Would you have wanted to see Brenda Hampton's plans for The Secret Life of the American Teenager play out on the small screen? Tell us what you think.

Where Are They Now? Some Greenroom Chatter for November 3, 2008
Sherry M Burrell
I just started watching the show and have spent countless hours a day watching episode after episode and was very disappointed at the end of it. I think there should be more seasons. Loved watching it.
Jessica A Ross
I think that there should be more seasons of the Secret Life of The American Teenager. The last season of it didn't really show what happened at all. I think all of the fans who watched The Secret Life of The American Teenager want more seasons so we can look forward to with the pandemic that is going on right now. Bring it back.

If your New Year is typically darkened with debt and regrets, then you need to do something about it before Christmas, not after! You don't have to just spend and spend because everyone else is doing it! It's time to create – and adhere to – a sensible Christmas budget.
This includes everything – the balances on loyalty cards, vouchers that you haven't used, stamp schemes and your actual salary and savings. Use a budget calculator to see how much you can add to your savings in the run-up to Christmas and then allot definite, non-negotiable amounts to presents, travel, food and drink and sundries.
This list is pretty much sacrosanct! You don't have to get it tattooed on your forehead, but it should be your constant companion throughout December. Everyone's on it, from your favourite child (ahem…) to the window cleaner and, all told, you should be spending less than your budget so that you have some wiggle room for extras and last-minute guests.
If you haven't used Amazon Prime before then you're in luck because they offer a month of free deliveries to newbies! Sign up in early December and then look for gifts on Amazon that are eligible for Prime delivery. If you save a couple of quid with each order, then that's probably £20.00 or £30.00 in the bag.
Every time you go to buy something from your wish-list, see if you can find a discount or a voucher for the retailer. This also applies to physical shops, as you can often print off coupons or vouchers to use at the till. If you get an average of 10% off half of your presents, that's really not to be sniffed at.
A really handy trick is to leave your online shopping cart at the checkout and not buy anything. Most online retailers watch out for this and so when they see abandoned carts, they often send emails to the absent shopper, offering free delivery, a complimentary gift, or even a discount. Leave your cart and then wait for the reminder.
You can leave the most readily-available and generic presents until the very last minute, like December 23 and Christmas Eve. Most retailers start slashing prices then, so if you're on the ball you can bag some bargains. Do not try this with in-demand, big-ticket main presents, though, as you could make yourself very unpopular.
Seriously. It's not like you don't know when next Christmas is going to be, is it? If you spend £400-500 each Christmas, that's £45.00 or so a month, which is around the same as a mobile bill, so treat this expense in the same way and budget monthly for it. Put at least £20.00 away each month, bump up the points on your loyalty cards and trawl the January sales for presents like won't have dated by December 2019.

The wedding bells are getting louder for one of our favorite Bachelorette couples! According to Wetpaint.com, Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried hinted at a January 2015 wedding for months but only just confirmed the big news. The pair created an adorable save the date video on Instagram that featured some of their cutest pictures. The clip, which was posted by Hartsock, was overlaid with the text: "Save the Date: January 2015 Des + Chris." Hartsock then added a caption to the slideshow, writing, "It has been one incredible journey with the love of my life thus far but I cannot wait to marry him and start another chapter! I love you so much!! #savethedate #secretsout #goingtothechapel with @chrisrsiegfried @seahawks #flipagram Music: The Avett Brothers – I and Love and You." This winter wedding will be one to remember!
What are three unique ways to announce your wedding date?
1. Photo strip bookmarks: Find a local place to take pictures in a photo booth with your fiancé. Take the photos while holding up cute signs with details of your wedding. You can include only the date or add the location if you've made more definite plans. Make as many copies as needed and send them to all of your friends and family so they can "mark" the event on their calendars!
2. Match books: Get custom-made matchboxes that have the date of your wedding written on them. You can also put a cute phrase on the box that goes with your theme — something like, "Get ready to see sparks fly!" Not only is this idea adorable, but it's super easy. Check out Etsy and Pinterest for more inspiration.
3. Put it on film: If you and your partner want to go a more extravagant route, produce your own save the date video. Work with someone who knows about cinematography and show your love story on film with the ending revealing your wedding date. Send the video out to your guests via e-mail.
