Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has lambasted the United States and other Western nations as bullies and hypocrites, while he praised Russia as a "great country" in his first meeting with his acknowledged idol, Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
Talking on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum in Peru, Duterte also gave Putin a scathing review of America's military endeavors in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and the Korean peninsula. He said the United States has given unequal treatment of the Philippines as a treaty ally and added that his country wants to engage more with Europe.
An obviously elated Putin congratulated Duterte. He called the May 9 election that Duterte won "indeed a very bright day," noting it came on the Russian holiday marking victory over Nazi Germany.
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has promised his Chinese counterpart that he will align his foreign policy toward China-led Asian economic development, further reinforcing his shift toward China amid his hostile stance toward the U.S.
Duterte met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the APEC summit in the Peruvian capital of Lima. He also talked to Russian leader Vladimir Putin, whom he has called his political idol.
Duterte first met Xi in a state visit to Beijing last month, where their governments forged mostly trade and economic accords. They also discussed longstanding territorial disputes in the South China Sea. After his China trip, Filipinos were allowed back to fish in the disputed Scarborough Shoal, which Chinese coast guard vessels have guarded since seizing the rich fishing area in 2012.
APEC summit host Pedro Pablo Kuczynski has managed to win a smile from the normally stern-faced Vladimir Putin by speaking to the Russian president in a foreign language the two leaders share: German.
With cameras rolling at the start of their one-on-one meeting, Kuczynski asked the Russian leader: "In what language should we speak?" Putin suggested the two speak in their native languages and use translators.
Putin worked for the KGB in East Germany before the collapse of the Soviet Union, while Kuczynski is the son of Jewish doctor from Germany.
Peru's almost octogenarian president, Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, has had his first experience with virtual reality, trying it out during the annual meeting of the 21-nation Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum in Lima.
Kuczynski tried out Facebook's Oculus Rift virtual reality device headset in which dinosaurs, debris and crashing cars jump out at the participant.
It was an "incredible" experience, according to Kuczynski, who is better known for more sedate tastes like playing the classical flute and reading history books.
A video of the encounter posted by Kuczynski's office on his social media site has gone viral, attracting more than 368,000 views. That is the most replays of any video provided by the president since he took office in July.
Afterward Kuczynski and Zuckerberg posed for a selfie, with the Facebook founder promising to help Peru boost internet connectivity in far-flung, rural parts of the South American country.
And they're off to Vietnam.
President Tran Dai Quang of Vietnam closed a meeting of business leaders in Peru by inviting them to his Southeast Asian nation in 2017 for the next meeting of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum nations.
Leaders from APEC's 21 nations have finished their speeches for Saturday and will gather later for a dinner at a downtown Lima park. But with the closure of the APEC CEO summit, most leaders will hide themselves in bilateral meetings and Sunday's closed-door sessions.
New Zealand's Prime Minister John Key says that if Donald Trump tries to withdraw the U.S. from trade deals, he shouldn't expect the rest of the world to follow suit.
Speaking to business leaders, Key said he had sensed "tremendous despair" among attendees of the APEC summit about Trump's position on trade. He said it's still possible to save the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiated by the Obama administration by introducing cosmetic changes making it acceptable to the incoming U.S. president or crafting a more limited pact among willing signatories that leaves out the U.S.
Mexico's president is taking a cautious approach to Donald Trump's pledges to break up the North American Free Trade Agreement and build a wall to keep out millions of Latino immigrants.
Addressing business leaders at APEC, President Enrique Pena Nieto refused to antagonize the incoming U.S. president even as he strongly defended trade between the two countries.
He said the United States and Mexico ship to each other $1 million worth of goods every minute, generating benefits to companies and workers on both sides of the border that must not be jeopardized.
China's President Xi Jinping is calling for a free trade agreement across the Asia-Pacific region to promote more equitable global growth.
Xi made the forceful call against protectionism in a keynote address to business leaders at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Peru on Saturday.
Xi said that China has contributed to 40 percent of global growth since the global financial crisis. China's economy is now cooling as it seeks to rebalance growth away from exports to more domestic sources of growth, but it remains an engine of global growth.
Xi said that more than 700 million Chinese tourists will fan out across the globe in coming years and the country will invest billions abroad.
Still, he said the measure of globalization has to be an improvement in peoples' lives and a reduction of poverty. He said a proposed free trade area encompassing all 21 APEC members can contribute to that goal.

A BIG thanks to Trisha Watkins for this great blog post.
Who's ready for another quick and easy pattern hack?!
We will be using the Tie Back Tank for this twisted tank modification, so if you don't have it already, head over here and pick it up!
Print your pattern and cut out the Racer back option & Neckband/binding pieces. You can disregard the arm band/binding piece as we won't be using that for this modification. *Don't cut your fabric yet! We need to modify the arm openings on the pattern.
Measure 5 Inches down from the bottom of the arm hole (armpit area) and make a mark. If you would prefer your arm opening to be bigger or smaller than this, you can simply change how far down you measure. Make a mark on both your back tank and front tank pattern pieces.
Next, make a new arm opening by drawing a gradual curve from the mark you just made up to the curve from the original pattern - about midway up (see photo).
Do this for both the front and back pieces. They should look similar to this.
Cut along the line you just drew, creating the new arm opening.
Now you're ready to cut out your fabric! Remember, you'll only need to cut out the front tank piece, 2 back tank pieces (mirrored) & a neck band/binding.
Now, we're going to follow the pattern instructions in step 1 of the pattern. I like to serge along the edges of the back pieces before turning them under, but you can just leave them raw if you prefer. Instead of turning under the back pieces all the way down, measure about 9 Inches from the bottom of each piece and make a mark. Turn under your back pieces & sew according to the pattern instructions, stopping when you get to your marks.
Follow the rest of the pattern instructions, stopping after you complete the neckband. Next, we're going to add the twist detail.
Open your tank, separating the front and back pieces from each other and laying them flat, right sides facing up.
Grabbing the outside of the tank (arm hole/side seam), flip it towards the inside of the tank top. Wrong side of fabric will now be facing up. Do this 6 times.
Repeat this for both sides.
Making sure you don't untwist the back pieces, place them right sides together with the front and sew the side seams.
Next, pin the back pieces together in the center from the bottom up to the mark you made earlier. Sew a straight stitch from the bottom to the mark.
Press the seam open and finish hemming your tank top as you normally would according to the pattern instructions.
Since the arm holes are left with a raw edge, make sure to hide any serger tails that might show.


Coaching that is undertaken professionally can be defined as a relationship that is shared between the coach who has certain qualifications and a particular individual or even a group. Coaching is done in order to achieve particular goals that have been set beforehand. Coaching helps people to concentrate on their inner skills and talents. It is these skills that will enhance the personal and professional life of people.
Does coaching have any advantages?
With the help of coaching, a completely new light can be thrown on different aspects of personal as well as professional life. Coaching will contribute in making effective decisions. The capability of thinking will be enhanced. Coaching can improve interpersonal abilities. And an increase in confidence is an undoubted advantage of taking up personal coaching. The level of productivity can increase multi-fold through coaching. It will help in bringing about satisfaction in the personal as well as professional lives.
Why has the coaching industry grown so much?
Coaching has proved itself to be an invaluable instrument in tackling the various challenges that have emerged in the professional and personal world in recent years. Small size of businesses has increased in number. And even the percentage of self-employed people has gone up. The professional environment itself has changed drastically. The terms of employment contracts have undergone tremendous alterations.
The need for coaching may arise owing to various grounds. There may be an objective you want to accomplish but don't know how to. You may be falling short on your level of confidence, your interpersonal skills and relevant information. You may need to speed up the rate at which you work in order to achieve desired outcomes. You may have experienced a life changing situation and need to start afresh. Your style may not be appropriate in achieving your objectives.
How long will you work with your coach?
You might accomplish your goals in as little as one to three months. Most often, people stay with their coaches an average of about 9 months (ICF 1998). You may also want to keep a less intensive coaching schedule after you have done the majority of your work, and keep checking in once a month or so.
What will you gain from coaching at Natura?
When you decide to enlist a coach into your life, what are you likely to gain from it?
At Natura your coach will help you set priorities and goal, and guide you in how you can put your most important priorities first. These goals can be anything from the things of the world that are fighting against you to things in your mind which are holding you back.
When you have your list of priorities and goals organized, together we will design ways in which you can achieve your goals in realistic and achievable ways.
A huge factor in your success that coaching can help you with is accountability & responsibility. First and foremost we help you to see where taking responsibility for & being accountable for your life is up to you.
Having someone to report to greatly increase's your likelihood of following through and achieving your target.
Being motivated is like a superhuman cocktail when it comes to accomplishing what you want. If there are things you have been struggling to get done, chances are you're just not motivated.
At Natura we will help you find out why this is, and work through any limiting beliefs or patterns that aren't working for you. Then they'll work with you to keep you motivated and achieving your goals.

Paul Ryan Clarifies After Appearing to Question Trump's 2020 Chances: 'His Record' Is 'Why He'll Win'
by Houston Keene March 13, 2019, 1:54 pm 27.5k Views 9 Votes 2 Comments
Former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) clarified his comments from his Monday lecture in Vero Beach, Florida about President Donald Trump's re-election prospects on Tuesday, saying that Republicans win "elections when they're about ideas not when they're personality contests" and that the president's "record of accomplishment" is "why he'll win."
The former speaker took to Twitter to clear up comments he made regarding the president's chances at re-election while speaking during Riverside Theatre's Distinguished Lecturer Series.
He went on to say, "We're clearly better off because of [President Trump]. His record of accomplishment is why he'll win re-election especially when compared to Dems' leftward lurch."
To be clear, GOP wins elections when they're about ideas not when they're personality contests like Dems & media want. We're clearly better off because of @RealDonaldTrump. His record of accomplishment is why he'll win re-election especially when compared to Dems' leftward lurch.
— Paul Ryan (@SpeakerRyan) March 13, 2019
Ryan had initially said during his Florida address that the president would not win the presidential election in 2020 if it was "about Donald Trump and his personality," as IJR Blue previously reported.
"The person who defines that race is going to win the race. If this is about Donald Trump and his personality, he isn't going to win it."
His comment caught the ire of the president's son, Donald Trump, Jr., who called Ryan's words "pretty rich" in a Tuesday afternoon tweet. The president's son pointed out that "the speaker who lied to us and didn't deliver on Wall funding" wanted to give "advice on winning." Trump, Jr. also brought up Ryan's unsuccessful vice presidential run as Sen. Mitt Romney's (R-Utah) 2012 running mate.
Pretty rich. Mitt Romney's failed 2012 running mate, the speaker who lied to us and didn't deliver Wall funding (and then lost the house) gives advice on winning.

— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) March 12, 2019
Ryan retired from Congress in January after serving as Speaker of the House from 2015 until current-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) retook the position.
President Trump is facing a growing Democratic 2020 primary field featuring many prominent names, including Sens. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
While no Republican primary challengers have declared their formal candidacy against the president,— former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld announced in February that he had formed a 2020 presidential exploratory committee but has not yet announced a challenge — a recent Iowa poll showed that 40 percent of the state's registered Republicans hoped to see a Republican primary challenger.

The Dems haven't just gone in a "leftward lurch"; they've cranked up their clown car and put the pedal to the metal. The Dems have gone full blown Socialist with some of the craziest ideas ever invented inside a human cranium by delusional individuals. It's unbelievable the amount of unfiltered bovine excrement which has been released by the Socialists since January 2019.
Resignations, Arrests After Huge US College Cheat Scheme Exposed
US Says Iran Has Lost $10 Billion in Oil Revenue Due to Sanctions


A new Red Dead Online update for Red Dead Redemption 2 will finally release on February 26th, adding in a Law and Bounty System plus much more.
In addition to the usual improvements, balancing and enhancements to the game's open world, there will be changes to player blips on the mini-map and visibility over long distances.
One of the big changes is that the map position won't be shown off to other players unless you're nearby, meaning the issues with targetting across towns should no longer happen.
And if your style of play is hostile and aggressive, you will become more visible to other players and NPCs. Basically, if you're performing one bad deed after another, you're going to become a bigger target. Though if you start to tone it down and try and do right by others, that target will slowly move off your back.
If you've picked up a bounty over time, then NPC hunters will try and claim it to collect a reward, dead or alive. The more damage you cause, the more valuable the price on your head becomes.
This ties into a new Parley and Feud system where you can challenge opponents or seek a truce over any disputes that crop up in the game.
Rockstar are even sneaking in some daily challenges to earn Gold nuggets and XP. This can be something simple as gathering herbs and skinning animals, to winning feuds. These will continue to be expanded upon and evolved over time.
On top of all that, there will be a bunch of in-game fixes that work on things like voice chat, horse cargo, respawning and more.
Rockstar plan to share more details on what else is coming next week, but in the meantime you can earn more XP to rank up ahead of February 26 with some of the missions currently available.


The Hexar AF is an interest-piquing rangefinder that seems to make waves in the film shooter community from time to time. I first learned about this camera in mid 2017 as I stumbled across a few frames posted online and Instagram. The image that the 35mm F/2.0 lens renders seemed to deliver solid sharpness, smooth contrast, and plenty of room for light to shine through.
The perfect point and shoot camera? Maybe so... Or maybe not. It's all relative, anyway. It's an age-old argument that has been discussed for decades. As most shooters know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that's exactly how I hope to approach shooting with different film cameras.

Discovering Musical Treasures of the Baroque
A preview by Marc Shulgold
The century-and-a-half known as the Baroque Era (1600-1750) has its undisputed musical superstars: Bach, Handel and Vivaldi. As great as they were, and as often performed as they are, those three tend to overshadow the hundreds – who knows? maybe thousands – of other composers of that day who are worthy of attention.
So, part of the fun in attending a concert such as the season-openers by Seicento on November 8 and 10 is discovering new music and, certainly in this case, new composers. After all, have you ever heard of Vinko Jelić or Ivan Lukačić? Don't be embarrassed – the Baroque Ensemble's leader, Amanda Balestrieri never heard of them either.
Amanda Balestrieri
"I received an email from a retired Croatian architect named Petar Velnić, who had found (Seicento's) Web site. He wanted to send me scores by Jelić (pronounced YELL-itch), but he didn't know how to get them to me as PDF files – he wanted to mail them." After a series of "linguistic misunderstandings," as she put it, connections were made and the scores of several choral works were finally delivered. Balestrieri was not only impressed with the music by Jelić, but she was excited to receive some works by Lukačić, another Croatian unknown to her. Call it serendipity. As she put it with a chuckle, "There's the plan, and then there's life."
The surprise of that discovery turned out to make for an ideal addition to Seicento's concerts, titled "Praise and Lamentation." The two Croatians found themselves sharing the bill with the North German organist Franz Tunder, the Italian Salamone Rossi and the eccentric Austrian/Bohemian Heinrich Biber.
Daniel Hutchings, Tenor
Seicento's program will offer works sung in Hebrew, Latin and German, performed by a choir of 33, with guest tenor Daniel Hutchings, and an instrumental ensemble consisting of two violins, two viola da gambas and chamber organ (the latter played by associate conductor Gerald Holbrook). Previously serving as soprano soloist with Seicento, then associate conductor and associate artistic director before stepping up as artistic and executive director this year, Balestrieri focused on building "a choir that people would want to join." It seems to have worked: Her volunteer singers were recently augmented by 10 new members. Building a choir accessible to its members extends to her audiences, she said. The goal is for listeners to go with the flow of her intriguing musical mixture.
Sarah Biber and Ann Marie Morgan, gambas
Referring to the program's blending of choral and instrumental works, the conductor jokingly described the selection process as "the spaghetti-against-the-wall approach." As she sees, it, "The theme is not that important. What matters is the music. I think audiences can relate to the emotions in pieces like Tunder's setting of the lament By the Waters of Babylon. When I looked at the Croatian music I'd received, I knew it would work with the Tunder." The concerts are dominated by choral works, but Balestrieri was careful to include some instrumental pieces, "to give the audience a change of pace."
As for the rarity of the works she's selected, Balestrieri doesn't feel guilty about shying away from known works by household-name composers. Quite the opposite, in fact: "Performing unfamiliar music is one of our primary missions." Her goal is to engage listeners in fresh ways. "I'm saying to them, 'Listen to this.' And I want their response to be 'Wow – I just found this music!"
Salamone Rossi
Looking at the bigger picture, she pointed to the mission of Seicento, a group she describes as "evangelists for the music." Sure, the glories of Baroque music should be the main attraction. "But all this is about people," she stressed. "We want to focus on the human side, to let our audience know who these composers were, what their back stories were. We're in a human place. For me, it's how we use the music."
Seicento Baroque Ensemble will present Praise and Lamentation at 7:30 p.m. Friday, November 8 in First United Methodist Church, 1421 Spruce St., Boulder, and at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 10 in Our Merciful Savior Episcopal Church, 2222 W. 32nd Ave., Denver. Tickets are $25 ($15 for students) Information: https://www.seicentobaroque.org/currentseason/
Join us for an exhilarating program exploring sacred music of early baroque composers: Croatian composers Vinko Jelić and Ivan Lukačić, German/Austrian composers Franz Tunder and Heinrich Biber, and Italian composer Salamone Rossi. Jelić and Lukačić, were itinerant throughout the classical music diaspora in Europe, Tunder was a North German born in Lübeck who traveled to Italy and returned home to found the tradition of Abendmusiken (free cathedral concerts financed by businessmen), Biber was a Bohemian-Austrian composer and violinist who eventually settled in Salzburg, and Rossi was an Italian Jew from a minority community in the Mantuan court of Northern Italy. This will be a challenging program with texts in Hebrew, Latin, and German. With the help of tenor soloist Daniel Hutchings, we will bring alive for modern audiences the musical language of these composers with historical instruments and baroque performance practice. Our interest in performing Rossi follows our inclusion of three of his works in our Baroque Pairings concert in November 2018, a powerful set that drew a strong positive response from our audiences and our musicians. Seicento Baroque Ensemble will once again present an intimate and nuanced chamber program with chamber choir and vocal and instrumental soloists.

The Hannah Montana star and Wrecking Ball songstress caused a stir when she recently posted a selfie photo on Instagram showing a much improved and bigger boobies. This caused a spark and debate among fans and haters claiming that smiley Miley finally consulted a plastic surgeon and went under the knife to improve the size of her breasts.
However, Miley denied such rumors claiming that her bosom only appeared to look bigger with the help of a push-up bra. Plastic surgeons also gave their expert opinions saying that the former Disney favorite got a little cleavage with the wonders of a push-up bra and not with the use of breast implants.

[ARCHIVED] Lightning protection urged by public safety personnel
Public safety personnel endorse lightning protection
MURPHY (July 7, 2017) So far this year, there have been some close calls, but no home or structure fires have been reported as a result of lightning strikes. Nevertheless, Murphy's public safety personnel urge residents to become familiar with ways to protect themselves and their property from lightning damage.
"Prior to my arrival here, there were a few residential fires due to lightning strikes," says Fire Chief Del Albright. "Throughout my career, I've seen my share of these. The damage can range from relatively minor to catastrophic."
Lightning is likely the most dangerous and most-frequently encountered weather hazard that people experience, according to the National Severe Storm Laboratory. And, because a single bolt of lightning can carry over 100 million volts of electricity, it's not surprising that it can cause damage to homes in a number of ways.
For example, a direct strike can rip through roofs and chimneys, explode brick and concrete, and ignite fires. An indirect or secondary lightning strike to a nearby tree or power line can induce unwanted surges into a home.
Lightning can also enter through phone, cable lines, and computer modems, as well as roof projections such as weather vanes, antennas and satellite dishes. Irrigation systems, invisible fences, and electric gates can also provide a pathway for lightning's destructive energy.
"Installing a certified lightning protection system is the best way to deal with this issue," says Albright. "They don't prevent strikes, but they provide a safe path for the current to be directed to the ground where it will dissipate."
Adding such a system to a home is generally not a do-it-yourself project. Reputable installation contractors are certified by Underwriters Laboratories and the Lightning Protection Institute in coordination with the National Fire Protection Association.
Basic components of a system include several air terminals, called lightning rods, and conductors made of braided copper or aluminum cables that carry the charge to the ground terminators, which are buried at least ten feet into the ground. Also, a matrix of conducting bonds to ensure lightning does not jump from one object to another, and large-scale surge protectors in the main electrical panels to prevent over-voltages, leading to electrical fires, as well as damage to electrical appliances.
"Trees taller than the roofline, which is common in Murphy, makes them susceptible to a strike," said the Chief. "Should a tree catch fire or fall as a result of a strike, it can be just as destructive as if the house itself was hit. Many installation contractors advise homeowners with tall trees to protect their trees with simpler systems."
An internet search of lightning protection companies can provide information on certification, cost and availability.


Each year, more and more Veterans apply for VA Disability. However, there are even more Veterans left wondering if they can apply. The process is so daunting that many Veterans avoid it out of fear that they won't qualify for benefits.
Our firm has been pursuing VA Disability benefits for more than a decade. Over the years, we've learned a lot about the process. More often than not, a Veteran who thought he or she couldn't apply for benefits was qualified. So, how do you know if you should apply for VA Disability? Granted, anyone can apply for benefits, but most Vets want to know more about what the VA is looking for in a successful claim. Here are some questions to ask yourself if you're considering pursuing VA Disability.
Are you a Veteran? This question may seem silly, but many people who haven't served ask us if they can file for Veterans Disability. Keep in mind that we aren't talking about Survivors Benefits in this blog, just service-connected disability. A service-connected disability is an injury or trauma incurred or aggravated by the Veteran's time in service. Only Veterans are allowed to pursue service-connected disability benefits. For instance, once an individual called our firm asking if he could apply for VA Disability. He didn't serve, his family didn't serve, and his only connection to the military was his work as a custodian at the local VA hospital. He was injured on the job and thought he may be entitled to VA Disability benefits because he worked for the VA. He was not a Veteran, so he did not qualify for VA Disability. He instead needed to file a worker's compensation claim or Social Security Disability.
Did my injury occur in service, or was it made worse by my time in service? When Veterans are seeking our help with their VA Disability claims, we ask them when and where their injuries occurred. For instance, if you came to us seeking service-connection for a shoulder injury, we would want to know when, where, and how it occurred. If your shoulder injury was caused by a car wreck that happened 20 years after service, you're not likely to get that injury service-connected. However, if your shoulder was injured because you fell off a truck while in service, you may be able to get that injury service-connected. It's important to note that this is just one example. There are many different scenarios for VA Disability claims. For instance, mental health claims don't have to be diagnosed in service. Their symptoms often manifest years after a Veteran has been discharged.
Does my injury still impact my life? If you injured your shoulder in service, and it still causes you issues today, that's something to consider pursuing. However, if you injured your shoulder, fully recovered, and have no lingering problems, you probably won't receive service-connection. Many Veterans have physical injuries that become more painful over time.
Am I seeking medical treatment? Treatment is paramount for any VA Disability claim. Why is treatment so important? Medical tests and treatment are the evidence that helps prove your disability. A gap in treatment will not bode well for your, For instance, if you had a knee injury in service and didn't see a doctor about the condition for 15 years, you're going to have a difficult time getting service-connected. There are some exceptions, of course. We mentioned mental health earlier. Also, Veterans who were parachutist in service may have physical injuries creep up later in life. They may still get service-connected for their conditions even if they weren't diagnosed or treated in service.
These examples are just some of the ways in which a VA case can become confusing. There are rarely any black or white situations when it pertains to VA Disability. This is why we say every case is unique. Please use these questions as a guide when asking yourself on whether or not you should apply for VA Disability benefits. If you'd like to make the process even simpler, you are more than welcome to call us for a free evaluation. Our number is 1-877-526-3457. Or, fill out this form. Our intake process is very thorough, and we ask detailed questions to help ensure we're getting you all the benefits you deserve.

The last time we saw Danny Ocean's crew, they were paying back ruthless casino mogul Terry Benedict after stealing millions from him. However, it's b
een a while since they've come back together, which is all about to change. When one of their own, Reuben Tishkoff, builds a hotel with another casino owner, Willy Bank, the last thing he ever wanted was to get cut out of the deal personally by the loathsome Bank. Bank's attitude even goes so far as to finding the amusement in Tishkoff's misfortune when the double crossing lands Reuben in the hospital because of a heart attack. However, Danny and his crew won't stand for Bank and what he's done to a friend. Uniting with their old enemy Benedict, who himself has a vendetta against Bank, the crew is out to pull off a major plan; one that will unfold on the night Bank's newest hot spot opens up. They're not in this for the money, but for the revenge.

Fox Developing Remake of Asian Talent Competition 'The Masked Singer'
By Peter White
Television Editor
@peterzwhite
Lil Rel Howery's 'Small Fortune' Canceled At NBC
November 13, 2017 9:06am
Fox is developing a remake of Asian singing competition The Masked Singer – its latest shiny-floor entertainment format. I have learned that the network is developing and casting a U.S version of the format with Smart Dog Media, the production company run by former NBC reality chief Craig Plestis, who has produced long-running game show Minute to Win It with Guy Fieri and Syfy's Robot Combat League.
The Masked Singer is a celebrity singing gameshow with a twist: Contestants wear elaborate masks and costumes to conceal their identity.
MBCentertainment via YouTube
The show sees celebrities, including actors, musicians and comedians, face off head-to-head in a series of singing competitions. As they sing, a panel of judges and viewers are guessing who is behind the mask as they vote for the winner. As contestants are eliminated, their true identities are revealed and they are unmasked on stage. The battles rage on until there is only one masked singer left standing.
The format originally aired in Korea via Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation and has been remade for China's Jiangsu Television, Thailand's Workpoint TV and Vietnam's HTV7.
Paradigm Talent Agency, which represents Plestis and Smart Dog Media, brokered the format deal.
It is the latest international singing contest adapted by Fox; last year, the network picked up The Four from Armoza Formats. The ITV Entertainment-produced show, which is set to launch in 2018, cuts to the chase and focuses on four finalists. The Four was described by Fox alternative entertainment president Rob Wade as the most "pure, clean format" for a singing competition he's ever seen, calling it "Game of Thrones with better singing and less nudity."

2018-2019 Gameday
Ducks @ Canucks MORNING RECAP: Another Game, Another Loss
Anaheim's offense continues scoring woes in shutout.
By JCoffman517 Feb 26, 2019, 9:05am PST
Share All sharing options for: Ducks @ Canucks MORNING RECAP: Another Game, Another Loss
The Anaheim Ducks traveled to Vancouver to take on the Canucks Monday night in a matchup of two struggling teams. Although both squads have had their struggles, Vancouver is still in the playoff hunt, and it showed as they were able to shutout Anaheim 4-0 to snap a three-game losing streak and earn their first regulation win in 11 games. For Anaheim, it marked their third straight loss resulting in a 3-11 record in their last 14 games.
Nikolay Goldobin would get the Canucks first goal as he would take a slap shot from the left face-off circle that would carom off the far post to beat Ducks goaltender Kevin Boyle. Alex Biega would give Vancouver a 2-0 lead at 16:40 of the first when his point shot squeezed under Boyle's pads. Both teams would have an opportunity with a man-advantage each in the period, yet neither were able to convert. The Ducks would end the period with a 14-6 shot advantage and the edge in scoring chances, but were unable to solve goalie Jacob Markstrom.
Bo Hovart would cash in a sharp angled tap-in shot on a Canucks power play at the 2:22 mark to extend the lead to 3-0. To add insult to injury for the struggling Ducks, this would mark the fifth power-play goal in 59 chances over the span of 20 games for Vancouver who came into the game tied with Anaheim for 27th overall in the NHL with the man-advantage.
Hovart would find the back of the net again at the 7:12 mark of the third period with a nice wrist shot to make it a 4-0 advantage and put the game out of reach for good. The Ducks would finish the night with 29 shots and zero goals and plenty of misses opportunities.
Best & Worst
Brendan Guhle - Guhle made his Ducks debut after being acquired earlier in the week from the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for Brandon Montour. Guhle led the Ducks with five shots on goal and came very close to scoring his first career NHL goal off a one-timer. If he continues to be aggressive, the goals will eventually come.
Game 63 In The Books - It's been a very disappointing season for Ducks fans. Having 63 games wrapped up means there's only 19 more left to suffer through. It's been a long frustrating season, but the end is near.
Kesler Boos - Feel free to agree or disagree, but I enjoyed the boos from Vancouver fans anytime Kesler touched the puck. Love or hate him, his play in Anaheim has soured many fans this season so I take no offense to Vancouver fans expressing their displeasure with Kesler.
The Inability To Finish - Terrible coaching and injuries aside, the common theme of this season has been Anaheim's inability to finish. Whether it be finishing a drive, or finishing a period or an entire game, the Ducks have left a lot to be desired. Tonight was no exception. The Ducks had their chances and opportunities to put goals on the board, but they just could not finish drives. Time and time again they would let rushes stall or would come up short during the man-advantage. For this younger core to find success, they will need to learn how to capitalize on their scoring chances. To only have scored six goals on a four-game road trip and to have four of those goals occur in one game is a travesty. Simply put, you can't win if you can't score.
"It weighs on you. We are all competitive people and everybody wants to win, so obviously it's weighing on you and you can't have that defeated mindset when you fall behind, like, 'Poor me, I can't come back.' We just can't accept losing." -- Ducks assistant coach Marty Wilford
3 Stars of the Game
3. Vancouver fans who booed Kesler as he played the puck
2. Vancouver fans who continued to boo Kesler even when he wasn't on the ice

The Anaheim Ducks will travel back home to host the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday, February 27th, at 7PM PST.


Calipers are an example of 2C body composition analysis. A chambered system is typically used on wider web flexo presses that run at higher speeds then a narrow web flexo press. The theme was originally written and arranged in the key of. Among them, the profession of doctors is perhaps most respected for service to the society. Laguna Honda—where meals were served in sunlit rooms, and gardening and good company allowed hopeless cases to make seemingly miraculous recoveries—seems out of another era.
The theme music received another revision in 2018 for 's first series as , this time by new composer Segun Akinola.

Whatever he gets from the patients, he feels satisfied. He has in his dispensary a table, a chair, one or, two admirals with a small stock of medicine and one or two benches for his patients. He earns a handsome amount everyday and leads a happy life. Abul Kalam Azad is such kind of a doctor in our village.
Debney is the only composer that receives screen credit during the movie, with the then-deceased Grainer not being credited on screen for composing the theme. A recent crop of books offers a fascinating and disturbing ethnography of the opaque land of medicine, told by participant-observers wearing lab coats. But it is silver lining that there are noble people who work all their lives to mitigate the sufferings of the others. Students develop the skills necessary to navigate the professional world, and the Center for Music presents them with an array of opportunities to hear diverse musical styles. However, in order to have your marketing potential apart from your spirit of Zeal, you need to have a specialisation degree in any field. He serves all day long even his passes sleepless night for the patients of the village. This version removed the opening fanfare of the 2010—12 and 2012-13 versions, returning to the traditional opening bars with a prominent bassline, accompanied by bells and a variety of futuristic sound effects, as well as a new sting as the theme opens.
Every now and then a village doctor has to struggle with the rude behavior of the villagers. Desire is your psychical susceptibleness to apply your knowledge, surround, relationships, and personality to accomplish happiness. The smiling face of a doctor makes the patient cheerful. A mystic or a tantric is more welcome than a qualified doctor. The reason why that is important is that although fat and muscle may weigh the same, muscle is significantly. Product Resources The following companies are manufacturers and marketers of doctor blades.
A graduate student from the receiving his Doctor of Musical Arts degree in 2011. This may be done at any time prior to graduation. My name is Wen Xu. Music includes the original Ron Grainer theme arranged by Dominic Glynn and the theme interpreted by Delia Derbyshire on side one. And when we look at this muscle and body fat levels, his body composition results agree. A rhythmic bassline opens and underlies the theme throughout, followed by a rising and falling set of notes that forms the main melody which is repeated several times.
Graduate Admission to the School of Music Application procedures and program requirements can change. Sometimes he deals with the critical patient and falls in danger. We are four in my family: my parents, my brother and I. Without being fully aware of it, what I really wanted all along was a doctor trained in a different system, who understood that a conversation was as important as a prescription; a doctor to whom healing mattered as much as state-of-the-art surgery did. McCulloch's arrangement was made using a synthesiser, with the initial 'sting' replaced by a crashing explosive sound.
There are two or three almirahs where there are some bottles containing some common medicine of some common diseases. The episodes that used it were redubbed with the 1970 Derbyshire arrangement, but lacking the short bassline stutter at the beginning of the music. The Doctor Who theme music is a piece of music written by composer and realised by at the. So I started learning a new lesion on what and how I should be, to function as a doctor. To get a hydrostatic weighing test performed, you will need to make an appointment at a facility such as a university or high-end sports complex that has built a hydrostatic weighing pool and a trained staff. Until then, facing my doctors, I had simply thought, What can I say? And then, one crisp fall afternoon last year, I learned that I had Lyme disease. Also interpretation all these consequential services, I shall also acquire the capital of subsistence.
The Howell theme was eventually replaced by a new arrangement by for 's 1986. I have already fixed the aim of my life and I want to be a doctor. Diagnostic Examinations All entering graduate students except music education, music therapy, and opera performance majors must take written diagnostic examinations in musicology and music theory. Carbon steel can develop corrosion after a period of time depending on the amount of humidity present. One is that you can have metal loading into a ceramic surface; this can precipitate adhesive wear, where you can weld metal from the blade into the ceramic. For the related degree , the abbreviation D.
The 'sting' is unusually quiet in this closing arrangement, often being drowned by the last seconds of the 'Next Time' trailer and the start of the actual theme. To create dynamics, the notes were re-recorded at slightly different levels. It might actually be a form of efficiency: more-accurate diagnoses and effective low-tech treatments help the system save money, and result in fewer malpractice suits. Aspiration is that desire that pushes us to usefulness at maximum level in the confronting of obstacles or challenges. Over the closing credits, parts of the tune were duplicated as required for the theme to end with the credits, rather than fading out as it had previously. There is a revived interest in these systems of treatment and many allopathic doctors combine their treatment with traditional methods like yoga, nature cure and Ayurveda.

There are many makes of air conditioning systems available to install in your home that will do a decent enough job. However, at Gas & Air, we like to go the extra mile and provide better solutions wherever possible. This is why we stock Carrier systems and recommend them to our customers. Carrier invented the air conditioner in 1902, but they didn't rest on their laurels, and they have been consistent innovators in the air conditioning industry ever since. Here are three top tips for improving the air quality in your home in concert with your new air conditioning system.
Keeping the surfaces in your home free from debris and dirt is a great way to improve the air quality in your home. As we enter our homes, we bring in a little bit of the outside world in the form of dirt particles and other debris. Another problem to consider is pet dander from our furry friends that sheds in our homes on a regular basis. A good cleaning regime using a vacuum cleaner and brushes to remove and collect dust is essential. If this is not done, the circulating air from the air conditioner will catch hold of these pollutants and circulate them throughout the home. This will significantly lower the air quality and reduce the effectiveness and efficiency of the air conditioning system.
It is important to ensure that there is proper ventilation in your home so that fresh air is circulated. Many homeowners, consider their homes to be closed systems and lock up everything air tight when heating and cooling. Although this does conserve energy, there is a balance to be struck to get some fresh air into the home. Early in the morning is a good time to open some windows for a short time and the air quality will improve if this is done regularly.
Air conditioning equipment is a quite complex system that relies on a lot of electrical and mechanical parts to work correctly. Additionally, ductwork needs to be cleaned regularly to improve efficiency and air quality. Always have a Carrier air conditioning service at the beginning of the heating and cooling seasons to ensure that everything is working correctly. This will reduce the chances of a failure when you need the system most and ensure that you have great indoor air quality throughout the year.
If they are looking to install carrier air conditioning, Perth residents should contact Gas & Air. We are your local professional air conditioning specialists, and we stock high quality carrier systems that have a five year manufacturer's warranty. Our installation experts are well versed in fitting both commercial and domestic cooling and heating systems. Get in touch with us, and we look forward to discussing your needs in greater detail.


Why did no one tell me about this? Sometimes the murky depths of the internet yield up some astonishing treasures, like this internet radio station devoted to all things New York theatre. Playbill Radio features daily features like Playbill Presents: "Playbill Radio takes its microphones backstage and into the rehearsal rooms of Broadway for "Playbill Presents," offering intimate visits with the many interesting people who make the theatre work." and Centre Stage: "Playbill Radio's flagship interview program welcomes a different luminary from Broadway and [yay] Off-Broadway every week." Or you can just listen to non-stop Broadway numbers, if you're into that kind of thing.
The real beauty of this site, however, is the podcast archives, just brimming with recorded interviews and talkbacks with scads of theatre professionals from all sorts of different areas of expertise. Par example: an interview with Edward Albee in which he talks about the sanctity of the script in production (guess which side he falls on), a 50th anniversary reunion with the original cast of West Side Story, or the producer of August: Osage County talking about his job. Or how about the Lincoln Centre dramaturg talking about what the hell dramaturgy is? Or maybe a little Davey-boy Mamet on writing political comedy to start the day off with a bang? I've died and gone to theatre nerd heaven. It's kinda weird that Mamet's up here, though.
