Most people make money by doing their jobs. Some earn income through investments. Others sell blood. A select few make their living robbing banks, but we don't recommend that.
And then there are the people who find bizarre, outside-the-box ideas to make money — ways you might not have heard of. Today we're going to look at four people who collectively earned about $8,000 that way.
Here's the kicker: They did it without even leaving home.
In December 2015, Teresa Suarez's weight hit 266 pounds. It was time to make a change.
She had joined a gym, but she never went. Looking for ways to boost her motivation, she came across an article about getting paid for losing weight. That's how she found HealthyWage.
Six months later, she had lost 68 pounds. She bet $125 per month that she'd lose 60 pounds in six months. When that final weigh-in confirmed her success, Teresa won $2,415.
Start at the HealthyWage Prize Calculator. Enter how much weight you want to lose, how long you'll take, and how much you want to bet.
Lay down your bet. You agree to pay the monthly amount ($20 to $150) for the duration of the challenge (six to 18 months).
Start and end your challenge with a video-recorded weigh-in. Achieve your goal, and win your prize!
When he got a phone call saying he'd won $5,000, Oneil Campbell immediately assumed it was a scam.
Campbell stayed on the line. He frequently plays Lucktastic, a free app that generates virtual scratch-off tickets with real prizes. You can also play games and enter contests on the app.
Campbell had entered a Monopoly Boardwalk contest on the app — the $5,000 he won was no scam, after all.
Of course, with anything that has to do with luck, remain realistic about the odds. Several of us here at The Penny Hoarder have played Lucktastic and have walked away with $1.
But Lucktastic says you can win up to $10,000, and it boasts 1 million winners who have taken home a collective $3 million to date.
The first time Sarah Houston tried an online survey site called InboxDollars, it didn't do much for her. For whatever reason, she didn't really take to it.
A few years later, she tried it again while looking for side gigs to make extra cash. Since then, Houston has turned herself into an InboxDollars whiz. She's earned $600 on the site in three years, and she has the screenshots to prove it.
The 26-year-old nanny and business student at Virginia Commonwealth University has gotten into the habit of logging on to take surveys in the morning, then doing it again when she's watching TV at night. Persistence is how she makes it pay off.
Writer Susan Shain is a notorious email saver. She never deletes anything.
That came in handy when she tried out Paribus — a tool that gets you money back for your online purchases.
It's free to sign up, and once you do, it scans your email for any receipts. If it discovers you've purchased something from one of its monitored retailers, it will track the item's price and help you get a refund when there's a price drop.
When Shain tried it out, she earned $22 in refunds in just a few months. All she did was shop online like she normally would.
That's all she did — shop online.
Turns out there's lots of weird ways to make money.

Choosing Good March for Science
As stated above, additionality is crucial. It won't go away by itself. Possibly sooner than you may think.
Skepticism is nice and natural and needed. America has a decision to make. It is everywhere, and all you need is curiosity.
However, the discourse of any modern nation is dependent on science. Without reliable research on the subject of gun violence, we'll never be able to totally understand its origins, implications and the way to stop it. To compete as a nation, we will need to compute.
The Women's March is an amazing illustration cv writing of this phenomenon. Chapters aren't really complicated. Astrology can be a true lifesaver as it lets you are aware of the future obstacles and problems ahead of time.
A Startling Fact about March for Science Uncovered
However, Nutt hopes it is going to be in the marketplace in as few as five decades. Glyphosate, and the crops connected with it, isn't perfect. This will cause a drastic decrease in American students seeking PhDs. I would like people to understand that scientists aren't some weird subspecies that's inherently different from them.
At exactly the same time, absence of well-equipped labs limits the ability of several researchers to handle society's pressing challenges. I know many other disciples from economics to several social sciences have had questions raised about the repeatability of several studies. We've learned people are struggling with affordability, even if they have insurance. What has changed is the gain in individuals with little previous knowledge in activism, especially in physical activism.

The Essentials of March for Science You Will be Able to Benefit From Starting Today
The world is quite a busy location, and it's difficult to keep on top of everything. The folks who are involved with science aren't the men and women that are making the most noise. Being made to feel unsafe will probably turn people off to engaging later on.
Too many individuals believe we are heading in a terrible direction. Other people must provide you that freedom and that trust. When used in an intelligent fashion, social media is a strong tool which makes the world only a little bit smaller.
We've got quite a ways to get to the point at which our society treats scientists like celebrities. While women can pick from a wide collection of unique contraceptives, men are confined to either condoms or vasectomies. Moving forward each and every day.
If you're likely to have a health problem, this is a fairly excellent place to do it, she explained. There is a good deal of anger at her, he explained.

March for Science – the Conspiracy
This article was initially published at 6 a.m. Thousands of living scientists are predicted to take part in the Los Angeles march and other marches around the nation and overseas. In the event the March would like to not be taken lightly, it should do two things.
Prof Michael Mann has signed on a group which wishes to jail climate deniers. Though this is correct, organizers should think about the chance afforded them with a new influx of interested men and women. But, like I entered freshman year, I realized that I was not doing much. Same story because most retirees.

Better prevent than cure. Instead of fixing something wrong, it is better for you to be aware of them and avoid at the beginning. The idea is true for life and for digital platform as well. Especially with e-commerce website, just a small mistake can cost you much. They are effort to solve, potential customer lost and money of course. With the purpose to have you build a solid website at the beginning, the article will point out common mistakes we always happen to make, ranging from website hosting to more detailed features.
Website hosting is a fundamental base of a website. You can see as as your house foundation. There would be many unexpected events happening if your foundation is not good enough or put it in another way, not strong enough to carry the whole house. So before choosing a web host, you should be well aware about the website you intend to build. Which type is your website? Is it a blog, a branding website or an e-commerce site? How much is your estimated and expected traffic? Is uptime your primary priority? You must answer all those question to make a right decision.
Read more: How to choose the right web host.
When it comes to website UX & UI, you must put yourself in the shoes of website visitors to design the most user-friendly experience for customers. Do not design the way you want and do not pull out all information you want to let them know. Be mindful for each piece of content, call-to-action and visual elements.
Too many links and call-to-actions will make visitors confused, which subsequently lead to site leaving and high bounce rate. You should draw the expected journey which you want your visitors to go through and focus on the route when designing content.
People use various devices to access to your website but it doesn't mean that you must design website to be compatible with all of the resolution of different devices. Choosing the most common resolution and make it work for those ones. You can also insert Google Analytics in your website to get specific information of devices visiting your own website. Because we are always on-the-move, do not forget mobile. It would be a nightmare if people cannot read your content. Poor appearance is a trustful proof for untrustable brand.
We say about both quality of content and the way you deliver content. Keep it clear enough, detail enough but also punchy enough to catch the attention of customers then propel them into your wanted actions.
And do not overlook the importance of content format. Try to utilize various content format, especially multi-media to deliver your message more efficiently. Infographic, Graphic, Video are the most common ones. If you have more capability, why not try some other interactive content format. It will be bonus points for your site.
Last but not least, it is not about measurement but optimization. A website is always in the process of optimizing, in terms of speed, user experience, conversion rate, etc. You get no clue to start if you don't know how you are performing. Insert Google Analytics or other 3rd-party tracking tools to stay in loop of the performance of website.
Keep optimizing it is the key to have an efficient site.

Printed posters and static signs have evolved to a digital format that's attention getting and versatile. And digital signage is an affordable and cost effective marketing tool that should not be overlooked.
It's a significant lost opportunity for many medical and healthcare offices, hospitals and clinics. Interior signage in particular is one of the most versatile and cost effective tools in your healthcare marketing toolbox.
In a typical marketing assessment with healthcare, dental and medical clients, we find the category of signs and signage is ignored or underutilized in many marketing plans. Too often the planning begins and ends with an exterior sign on the building, and perhaps an in-office poster or two.
Technology has morphed the paper posters of the past into eye-catching digital displays (think flat screen) ranging in size from desktop and personal kiosks to large format screens and message walls. For this article we'll use "digital display" or "digital signs" to also include LCD, LED, plasma displays, projected images and the like.
There are three dynamics at work that make digital signage more attractive than ever.
First, the technology, hardware and software have become extremely affordable. Economies of scale and increased competition have moved large format LCD screens from pricey novelties to a consumer standard. Ordinary personal computers (with proprietary software) act as a controller. For healthcare businesses, hospitals and physician practices digital message systems are more within budget than ever before.
Second, digital signs are highly versatile. Unlike static signs or paper posters (which still have a role), the on-screen marketing, advertising or informational message can be changed in a nanosecond. The content and purpose of the sign can change in real time with the audience demographics or even the time of day. One screen can contain multiple messages, use color, motion and graphics. And wireless signals allow signs to be easily relocated.
And third, the Return-on-Investment (ROI) is sensational. Traditionally, good signage has always produced a good ROI because the one-time investment has a long useful lifetime, and it's on the job 24/7. And it's true for individual healthcare providers, clinics, group practices, hospitals and medical organizations of all types and sizes.
Brand & Brand Building – Every sign communicates a message of importance to the viewer (patient, visitor, guest, public and/or employees) and is part of the brand for the facility, practice or business…and it can play a role in growing the professional reputation of individuals. Beyond graphics and content, the presence of the technology itself is a brand message.
User Experience – Providing directions (way finding), instructions, wait times, entertainment and/or timely updates can enhance the visitor's experience in positive, productive and timesaving ways.
Public Safety & Education – Information and instructions about health care and healthy living are natural content materials. News, weather and community news can be informative. Plus public safety information such as emergency instructions, fire exit directions or construction advisories can be vitally important.
Marketing, Advertising & Public Relations – Timely messages can be general in nature, or focused to a specific audience group or demographic. These could include, for example, promotional messages, public recognitions and charitable, community, fund raising or health events.
Physicians, Staff, Management – Systems directed to your internal public groups or departments can communicate operational, administrative and policy updates quickly throughout the organization.
Multi-lingual, hearing impaired and interactive/touch screen applications.
We'd love to hear from you about original and unique healthcare marketing and advertising uses of digital signs in your hospital or medical provider office.

Jeb Bush not likely
to ride to rescue
Published March 25, 2005 at 1:00am
Those hoping Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will step forward to save Terri Schiavo from imminent, court-ordered starvation death are likely to be disappointed, based on his comments to a group of reporters following Circuit Court Judge George Greer's ruling against the state's effort to take custody of the brain-injured woman at the center of worldwide controversy.
While Bush reiterated his motivation to save Schiavo, based on new evidence that she is not in a persistent vegetative state and is, to some degree, conscious of her surroundings, the governor said "it isn't possible to remove her" from the hospice.
Earlier in the week, there were hints from the Bush administration that the Department of Children and Families might use force, if necessary, to stabilize Terri Schiavo and remove her from the facility.
"The judge is so focused on carrying out whatever decision he made years ago, that I guess the additional information he just rejected out of hand, and rejected the ability of the department to go in and stabilize her," he said. "It isn't possible right now to remove her. ... Given the fact that she's being starved to death it would be difficult to move her."
Bush downplayed the earlier reports about the possibility of action by the DCF.
"We never said that unilaterally we would do something that's against the court," he said. "I've been asked to do it by a lot of people – a lot of the advice I'm getting over the Internet and over television and the like. I know that there were lots of rumors of things that aren't accurate. I have a duty to uphold the law and I have been very consistent about that. It seemed like a big story that never was confirmed because it wasn't true. If we had that ability to do it, if there wasn't an injunction, we would do it right now. We would stabilize her by giving her hydration. We couldn't put a feeding tube in. There was already a court order in place. The opportunity we had was appealing his decision."
Meanwhile, legal experts have offered their opinions to the governor. The Thomas More Law Center's analysis of the Florida constitution and statutes finds Bush "has the authority to direct thje Florida Department of Law Enforcement to investigate violations of the criminal laws" and states that authority includes the power "to bear arms, make arrests and apply for, serve, and execute search warrants [and] arrest warrants."
Citing numerous allegations of abuse and neglect on the part of Terri Schiavo's estranged husband, Michael Schiavo, the lawyers with the center conclude: "There is probable cause in this case to believe that Ms. Schiavo is a victim of one or more violations of Florida criminal law."
A prominent evangelical Christian leader yesterday urged Bush to disobey the judge's order barring the Florida governor from intervening to save the life of Terri Schiavo. In a statement shortly after Judge George Greer's decision, Rev. D. James Kennedy pointed to Bush "as the only legal authority who can save the life of Terri Schiavo."
Kennedy, president of Coral Ridge Ministries, said Bush "must act and he must act immediately on her behalf."
"He must disregard the order of Judge Greer," Kennedy said. "He has both the authority and the duty to do so under the state constitution."
Greer rejected Bush's request to grant the governor protective custody. On Wednesday he barred the Department of Children & Families from taking custody. Also yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a request from Terri Schiavo's parents, Robert and Mary Schindler, for an emergency order allowing her feeding tube to be reinserted.
As WorldNetDaily reported, Bush appeared to be clearing the way for the possibility unilateral action when he appeared at a news conference Wednesday to confirm the DCF, under his authority, has the legal right to remove Terri Schiavo, by force if necessary, from the hospice where she has lived the past five years.
RELATED: Activist: Jeb Bush avoided protesters
Bush said new information had come to light warranting intervention, including a review of Terri Schiavo's condition by neurologist Dr. William Cheshire, who claims she may have been misdiagnosed. Cheshire believes Schiavo to be in a "minimally conscious state," not a "persistent vegetative state" as Greer has determined.
"It is imperative that she be stabilized so the DCF team can fulfill their statute to review the facts surrounding the case," Bush said.
Kennedy said Bush should be commended for his efforts over the past two years – which include the state legislature's passage of "Terri's Law" – but he noted those efforts "thus far has proven fruitless." The law later was declared unconstitutional.
"Neither the state legislature nor the courts, state or federal, have been willing to act on behalf of this helpless woman who is now within hours of death," Kennedy said.
Kennedy points out the Florida Constitution states in Article I, Section 2, that "[a]ll natural persons, female and male alike, are equal before the law, and have inalienable rights, among which are the right to enjoy and defend life ... ." According to the Constitution, "no person shall be deprived of any right [including the right to enjoy life] because of ... physical disability."
Similar arguments were brought to Florida's capital this morning by former Judicial Watch Chairman Larry Klayman and former presidential candidate Alan Keyes. Keyes wrote a column published yesterday by WorldNetDaily, arguing for Bush to step in and save Schiavo amid judicial abuse of the separation of powers.
"I have talked to a whole lot of people that I respect, not just now but the first time when Terri's law was passed, to make the determination of what my powers are and they are not as expansive as people would want them to be," Bush said yesterday. "And I understand, they're acting on their heart and I fully appreciate their sentiments and the emotions that go with this, but .... I've consistently said that I can't go beyond what my powers are and I'm not going to do it. There are 90,000 abortions that take place in this state every year. That troubles me more than I can ever describe, but that doesn't mean that I have some secret powers to stop that. There are a lot of things that go on in society that trouble me and this is certainly one of them. To have someone starve to death troubles me greatly and we have done everything we can and we will continue to do so within the powers that I have."
For background on the case, read "The whole Terri Schiavo story."
Editor's note: WorldNetDaily has been reporting on the Terri Schiavo story since 2002 – far longer than most other national news organizations – and exposing the many troubling, scandalous, and possibly criminal, aspects of the case that to this day rarely surface in news reports. Read WorldNetDaily's unparalleled, in-depth coverage of the life-and-death fight over Terri Schiavo, including over 150 original stories and columns.

The Corvette beat out the Hyundai Sonata and Toyota Supra for best car, while the Telluride edged the Hyundai Palisade and Lincoln Navigator for top SUV. The truck category was an all-American affair with the Gladiator beating the Ford Ranger and Ram Heavy Duty. The awards were announced at the TCF Center (formerly Cobo) in Detroit in partnership with the Detroit Auto Dealers Association and the North American International Auto Show. The NACTOY awards have in years past kicked off the North American International Auto Show – but the show has been moved to June this year for the first time. The winners were the cream of a crop of 46 eligible nameplates this year. All vehicles are new to the market for the 2020 model year. Read more here.
Ghosn Legal Team Plans 'Massive' Offensive
Over the past year, the former chairman of Nissan, Renault and Mitsubishi was jailed, then muzzled. Now that he's free, Carlos Ghosn is threatening to go after the parties that accused him of crimes and stripped him of his corporate positions, reports Automotive News. Ghosn, on the lam in Lebanon after jumping bail in Japan, will explore "massive" countermeasures against those he says have wronged him, said his French lawyer Francois Zimeray. Zimeray didn't rule out any actions. Possible moves could involve civil suits or other complaints, in Japan or elsewhere, and are precedented by a case filed last year by Ghosn in the Netherlands. "There are many actions to launch now," Zimeray told Automotive News last week after Ghosn gave a combative press conference here — his first with the media since his November 2018 arrest in Tokyo. "This paves the way for a counterattack, which will be legitimate and massive," said Zimeray, in attendance at the event in Beirut. Ghosn fled to Lebanon in a coordinated, cloak-and-dagger getaway at the end of December to escape what he calls injustice and political persecution in Japan. Ghosn had been awaiting trial in Tokyo on charges of financial misconduct and faced up to 15 years in prison if convicted. Read more here.
15 Cars That Defined the Decade
Automakers are thinking big with their plans for electric vehicles, focusing on sport-utility vehicles and pickup trucks to tap into consumers' desire for larger rides, reports The Wall Street Journal. A barrage of new plug-in hybrid and battery-electric SUV and truck models, including electrified versions of popular nameplates like the Jeep Wrangler and Ford F-150 pickup, are expected to hit U.S. dealerships in the next few years. General Motors Co. is even set to revive the Hummer nameplate—a onetime symbol of gas-guzzling excess—as an electric pickup truck sold under its GMC brand, people familiar with the plans say. Auto executives say they are trying to better reflect consumer preferences, which in recent years have tilted heavily toward taller, more versatile vehicles such as pickups and SUVs. These models typically command higher profits than lower-margin sedans, helping manufacturers better absorb the still-expensive battery costs. Read more here.
Porsche Defies Car Industry Gloom with Record Sales
Porsche AG shrugged off widespread industry malaise, reporting record deliveries for last year and predicting that its first all-electric model Taycan will foster further growth in 2020, reports Yahoo! Finance. Global deliveries rose 10% to 280,800 cars in 2019, driven mainly by strong consumer appetite for the Macan and Cayenne sport utility vehicles, Porsche said Monday in a statement. "We're optimistic that we can sustain the high demand in 2020," sales chief Detlev von Platen said in the statement. Sales momentum should benefit from "the introduction of some new models and full order books for the Taycan," he said. The most profitable division of Volkswagen AG, the world's largest automaker, is entering a new era with this year's rollout of the Taycan four-door sedan, which challenges Tesla Inc.'s Model S. Porsche's cachet has been shaped for decades by fast sports cars with roaring combustion engines, and success of the costly expansion into electric cars is mission-critical for the German manufacturer amid stricter emission regulations in key markets.

WCR5 Construction Updates & Traffic Flow
Late last week, St. Vrain Valley School District sent a message to all parents and staff about the plans to mitigate pressures created by construction work happening on Weld County Road 5. To follow up on the SVVSD email to members of our community who have children attending Erie High School and Soaring Heights Elementary School, we sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you have experienced as the new school year has started. Town staff has received your comments and we thank you for your thoughtful suggestions for improvements. We know this hasn't been and easy transition and we take your messages very seriously.
The Town of Erie greatly values our partnership with the SVVSD and we are working to provide more robust outreach regarding construction matters when it directly impacts our schools. Staff is currently engaging with both school districts in the community to improve communication and processes where we have shared interests.
Updates & Traffic Flow
Though the hope was to have all work completed over the weekend, that was not possible with the additional rain and storms we saw on Friday afternoon. Cones are still in place through the area and construction workers will be on site working. Please drive carefully and watch for workers, cones, and signs in the area. The Town has asked the contractor to push as fast as they are able to finish this portion of work as quickly as possible this week.
The Erie Police Department has been working closely with the SVVSD Security Director to address safety concerns during drop-off and pick- up hours. School Resource Officers and other Erie Police Officers are on site each morning and afternoon and this will continue through the week of August 23-27 as more assessments and improvements are made.
Other ways to help mitigate the impacts to traffic are as follows:
Students can be dropped off at Erie high School as early as 7 a.m. when the front office opens. This will allow for a more staggered morning drop off.
Supervision for students at Soaring Height begins at 7:50 a.m.
The bus pick-up and drop-off location at SHES has been relocated temporarily to create a second hug-and-go lane in our current bus loop.
Families can park in the Erie High School parking lot and bus loop any time after 3:10 p.m. and walk to Soaring Heights to pick-up their student(s).
Please ensure all parents have a placard in the car windshield with your student(s) full name and teacher's name.
Parents should not arrive at the school for pickup before 3:10 p.m.
Again, thank you for your continued patience as we work through many unforeseen delays in construction from unprecedented weather, impacts of the pandemic, and other complications. The Town, SVVSD, and EPD will continue to monitor traffic flow and make adjustments as needed.
Please visit www.erieco.gov/ConeZones for up-to-date information about all road work in the Town of Erie and to sign up for real-time text message alerts regarding road impacts. Concerns, comments, or questions can be submitted through the ErieSubmit app or at contactus@erieco.gov.

Under-19 - Van Amersfoort heads Netherlands to Russia win - News
Van Amersfoort heads Netherlands to Russia win
Tuesday 7 July 2015 by Andrew Haslam
Netherlands 1-0 Russia
Pelle van Amersfoort scored the only goal of the first Group B game, finding the net for Aron Winter's side with a 44th-minute header.
An error occurred while playing the video
Highlights: Netherlands 1-0 Russia
• Netherlands beat Russia by single goal in Larissa
• Pelle van Amersfoort heads only goal of first Group B game (44)
• Russia centre-back Aleksandr Likhachev dismissed for two yellow cards (62)
• Next games: Spain v Russia, Germany v Netherlands (10 July)
The Netherlands got their UEFA European Under-19 Championship campaign off to a winning start as striker Pelle van Amersfoort headed the only goal of a tight contest.
Russia striker Rami Sheydaev finished as the top scorer in qualifying with ten goals and might have added to that tally twice within the first four minutes, failing to get sufficient connection on right-wing crosses from Ayaz Guliev and Aleksandr Golovin.
The Netherlands could have had two goals themselves in the opening ten minutes. First Bilal Ould-Chikh raced down the right and picked out Abdelhak Nouri, but the captain smashed wide. Ould-Chikh then tried his luck himself, sending a shot flashing just past the upright.
Chances continued to come thick and fast, Van Amersfoort setting up Ould-Chikh for a measured effort that missed the far post. Georgi Melkadze was then equally wayward at the other end having broken through Damon Mirani's challenge.
Joël Drommel produced a fingertip stop from Golovin's low free-kick to keep the scoresheet blank – but the Dutch would change that before half-time. Ould-Chikh had been at the heart of many of their best moves in the first half and his free-kick picked out Van Amersfoort, who rose highest to nod past Anton Mitryushkin.
Parity might have been restored early in the second period as Dutch centre-back Terry Lartey Sanniez was robbed by Melkadze. The midfielder pulled back for Sheydaev, who powered his shot off the crossbar.
Russia centre-back Aleksandr Likhachev collected his second yellow card in the 62nd minute and Nouri nearly made the game safe, his lob landing on the roof of the net. Mitryushkin kept out a fierce drive from substitute Issa Kallon and then denied the same player in a one-on-one in the final seconds, but the Netherlands, whose only previous U19 finals appearances in 2010 and 2013 ended in the group stage, had done enough to open their latest campaign with a win.
Netherlands coach Aron Winter
It's always nice to win the first game because you work for it. We started preparing a month ago, and you're always looking forward to the first game. We didn't play the good football that would have made it easier to get the three points – but I'm happy that we played as a team, protected our lead until the end of the game and made sure we got the three points.
The first five or ten minutes of the game, it looked like we weren't ready for it as Russia had some opportunities but we'd prepared well and knew exactly the strengths and weaknesses of the opponents. We knew they'd press high in the first minutes – in every game the first 15 or 20 minutes are important. Most opponents want to surprise you. After that we always started to look for the free man in midfield, and that made life difficult for them.
Dmitri Khomukha, Russia coach
Congratulations to the Netherlands for the win. It was a difficult match for us – we had a lot of opportunities but didn't manage to score even one goal. We started well and we planned to play positive football – attacking football. After we lost one of our players to a red card it was hard to attack, especially in such weather conditions.
We lost first of all because we didn't take our chances. We had more chances than the Dutch but we didn't take any of them. [The suspended Dzhamaldin Khodzhaniyazov] was a big loss – if he'd played it would have been better, as he would have helped us going forward and he's also an excellent defender.

História
A obra remonta de 1507/1508, aproximadamente, e é formalmente atribuída a Rafael em finais da sua estadia em Florença. O seu título (Madonna Colonna) deve-se ao facto de ter sido propriedade da família Colonna.

A pintura era propriedade de Salviati e fez parte da coleção da duquesa Maria Colonna Lante della Rovere até 1827 quando foi transferida para o Museu Real de Berlim.

Composição
De acordo com a iconografia cristã de Madonna leggente, a pintura retrata Maria com um livro na mão e segurando nos braços o Menino Jesus.

Prince George says he's not REALLY called Prince George – and gosh how cute!
In a delightful new development, Prince George has let a very cute detail slip during a chatty encounter with a stranger who asked him his name.
The Sun broke the story, painting a picture of a royal country ramble and the sort of mucking around that we love to imagine the smallest royals undertaking.
"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's five-year-old son was out with his grandmother Carole Middleton when a dog walker came across him playing with his younger sister Charlotte in a stream near the Middleton family home in Berkshire," The Sun explained.
I guess by a 'dog walker', The Sun means a regular person walking their pet, but let's not get into semantics.
So … what happened was, the lady with a dog – who is choosing to remain anonymous – began chatting to the young royals and their granny.
Apparently they had security with them, and the lady was asked not to take any photos. Instead she had a lovely chinwag which seems much better than a photo.
"I was asked by a police minder not to take a photo of the children, which I didn't," the woman confirmed to the newspaper.
The woman figured George's reveal could be a bit of make-believe and she was totally here for it.
I mean, perhaps he was simply making this stuff up. But also, perhaps this is a secret name the young prince's family call him? Say it's so because honestly we're super-thirsty for cute royal secrets!
Apparently George is known as 'PG' at school – for Prince George. There are reports that his mum and dad riffed off these initials calling him 'PG Tips' after the famous British tea, and eventually shortening this to 'Tips'.
Everybody needs a handful of nicknames, don't they? Especially true if you are the future King of England, we think.

A new market research report by Allied Market Research titled, "Global Fungicides Market - (Type, Geography) Size, Industry Analysis, Trends, Opportunities, Growth and Forecast, 2013 - 2022", indicates that the global fungicides market would reach $16,780 million by 2022, registering a CAGR of 5.8% from 2014 to 2022. High growth segments such as Triazole and Strobilurin are expected to contribute substantially to the growth of the overall global fungicide market.
Companies operating in this market focus on product launches as part of their growth strategy; for instance, in 2014, BASF launched a new fungicide in the U.S., namely, PRIAXOR. Key companies profiled in the report are BASF, Bayer AG, Monsanto, DOW Agriscience LLC, Syngenta AG, Cheminova A/S, FMC Corporation, Adama Agricultural Solutions Ltd, E.I Du Pont de Numerous and Company and Nufarm Ltd.
Triazole, with its preventive and post infection curative property has higher consumption as compared to other fungicides available worldwide. Strobilurin is another fungicide which has wide adoption due to its translaminar capability and ability to treat broad array of plant pathogens. On the other side, interest for bio based fungicides is also growing among farmers worldwide due to growing concerns over adverse effect of synthetic fungicides on environment and human health.
In the U.S., usage of the Carbendazim fungicide is banned by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 2012, as it was found to cause serious health issues such as infertility and cancer. The agrochemical companies are also showing interest in new bio based fungicide innovation through research and development.
Among different crop types, fungicide is majorly used in fruits and vegetables worldwide, contributing to more than 35% market share during the forecast period (2014 - 2022). Fruits and vegetables producing plants require round the year protection from acute fungal infection. Another crop type, namely, cereals and grains are prone to have seed borne diseases such as bunts and smuts. Globally, both in furrow and seed dressing, fungicide are used in significant quantity to provide plant protection to cereals and grains. Fungicides are also moderately used in controlling fungal diseases such as growing light leaf spot problem in oilseeds and pulses.
Geographically, Europe is the dominant market where fungicide usage is significantly high in production of fruits and vegetables along with wheat and vineyard. France is the largest consumer of fungicides, within Europe, with ideal wet conditions for the spread of fungicides, especially Septoria tritici blotch (STB).
In the U.S., fungicide is widely used in the production of apple, potato, pecan and blueberry. The country holds around 80% market share of the North Americaregion. Asia-pacific region has significant growth potential for fungicide as it is a major hub of cereals and grains production. Spread of awareness about the appropriate usage of fungicide among the farmers in the region would further accelerate the growth of Asia-Pacific fungicide market.


This report follows on from a study into the future of High Value Manufacturing (HVM), in the UK commissioned by the Technology Strategy Board and published in February 2012 (Technology Strategy Board 'A landscape for the future of high value manufacturing in the UK' February 2012).
This report was prepared on behalf of the Technology Strategy Board by the Health KTN and IfM Education and Consultancy Services, Institute for Manufacturing. The editors of the report are Sue Dunkerton, Co-Director and Dr Mark Bustard, Technical Director, Medical Biotechnology of the Health KTN.
This report presents the findings from studies of the pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and medical devices (including diagnostics) sectors (The terms pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical are used in this report to describe chemical entity manufacture and biologics manufacture respectively. Workshops were held for each sector attended by representatives from industry, government bodies and the research community.
Strategic roadmapping techniques were used to help participants explore each sector's key trends and drivers; the novel products, processes and services which could be developed in the future; any technologies and capabilities required to support these opportunities; and the enabling factors that would help the sector respond successfully. The list of potential new products, processes and services was prioritised to identify key areas where it was thought the most valuable opportunities for innovation exist. A Case for Action was developed to justify further work in each area, outlining the potential benefits, critical gaps and steps required.
This report covers those sectors within Life Sciences which impact on human healthcare, addressing specific manufacturing requirements for each of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and medical devices as well as examining where synergies across all three sectors exist.

The Wretched of the Earth (Paperback)
By Frantz Fanon, Richard Philcox (Translator), Homi K. Bhabha (Foreword by)
Fanon's masterwork on colonial struggle and racial difference has influenced countless anti-colonial revolutionaries and civil rights activists since the 1960s. Wretched examines the psychological framework by which colonial rule is legitimized and perpetuated, championing violent resistance as the only avenue to real change. Prescient, thought-provoking, and emotionally-gripping.
— Travis
A distinguished psychiatrist from Martinique who took part in the Algerian Nationalist Movement, Frantz Fanon was one of the most important theorists of revolutionary struggle, colonialism, and racial difference in history. Fanon's masterwork is a classic alongside Edward Said's Orientalism or The Autobiography of Malcolm X, and it is now available in a new translation that updates its language for a new generation of readers. The Wretched of the Earth is a brilliant analysis of the psychology of the colonized and their path to liberation. Bearing singular insight into the rage and frustration of colonized peoples, and the role of violence in effecting historical change, the book incisively attacks the twin perils of postindependence colonial politics: the disenfranchisement of the masses by the elites on the one hand, and intertribal and interfaith animosities on the other. Fanon's analysis, a veritable handbook of social reorganization for leaders of emerging nations, has been reflected all too clearly in the corruption and violence that has plagued present-day Africa. The Wretched of the Earth has had a major impact on civil rights, anticolonialism, and black consciousness movements around the world, and this bold new translation by Richard Philcox reaffirms it as a landmark.
The writing of Malcolm X or Eldridge Cleaver or Amiri Baraka or the Black Panther leaders reveals how profoundly they have been moved by the thoughts of Frantz Fanon. The Boston Globe
Have the courage to read this book."Jean-Paul Sartre
This century's most compelling theorist of racism and colonialism." Angela Davis
The value of The Wretched of the Earth [lies] in its relation to direct experience, in the perspective of the Algerian revolution. . . . Fanon forces his readers to see the Algerian revolutionand by analogy other contemporary revolutionsfrom the viewpoint of the rebels."Conor Cruise O'Brien, Nation
The Wretched of the Earth is an explosion."Emile Capouya, Saturday Review
This is not so much a book as a rock thrown through the window of the West. It is the Communist Manifesto or the Mein Kampf of the anticolonial revolution, and as such it is highly important for any Western reader who wants to understand the emotional force behind that revolution."Time

Thanks to the interwebs, I stumbled across this. If you are of a squeamish nature, don't click on the video. I found it shocking but educational.
Cordylobia anthropophaga, the mango fly, tumbu fly, tumba fly, putzi fly or skin maggot fly is a species of blow-fly common in East and Central Africa. It is a parasite of large mammals (including humans) during its larval stage.[1] C. anthropophaga has been endemic in the subtropics of Africa for more than 135 years and is a common cause of myiasis in humans in the region.[2]
Its specific epithet anthropophaga derives from the Greek word anthropophagos, "human eater".
"The mode of infection by the Cayor Worm. Doctors Rodhain and Bequaert conclude, from their observations in the Congo Free State, that Cordylobia anthropophaga (Grunberg) lays its eggs on the ground. The larvae, known generally as Cayor Worms, crawl over the soil until they come in contact with man or a mammal, penetrate the skin and lie in the subcutaneous tissue, causing the formation of tumors. On reaching full growth, the larvae leave the host, fall to the ground, bury themselves and then pupate. This fly is said to be the most common cause of human or animal myiasis in tropical Africa, from Senegal to Natal. In the region of Lower Katanga where these investigations were made, dogs appeared to be the principal hosts, although Cordylobia larvae were found also in guinea-pigs, a monkey and two humans. The larvae are always localized on those parts of the hosts which come in immediate contact with the soil." (Ann. Soc. Entom. de Belgique, Iv, pp. 192–197, 1911) summary translation in Entomological News. 1911 Vol. xxii:467.

You might always want to look up Bot Fly, another group of fly whose larval stage grows in a living host, originating from South America. May not see human cases, unless travel is involved, but there are several animal cases experienced in the US (not sure about other countries). Bot flies are a headache for horse people as they have to deal with a seeping hole that doesn't heal until the infestation is removed. Various livestock can get it as well, from rabbits to cattle.

Yeah, I've seen the bot fly videos where people are pulling huge maggots out of their bodies.

Ugh. I would want to wear gloves if I had to do this for my dog.
I think the lack of gloves is for better grip. Regardless, an infestation like this must be miserable for the dog.

Tenors is an album by David Murray released on the Japanese DIW label. It was released in 1988 and features six quartet performances by Murray with Fred Hopkins, Dave Burrell and Ralph Peterson Jr.. As the title indicates, the album features songs written by or associated with tenor saxophonists.
The Allmusic review by Al Campbell awarded the album 3 stars stating "As with most of Murray's recordings for DIW, Tenors is worth picking up despite the inflated import price tag.".
The Ten Tenors double CD (one live and one studio recorded) "Larger Than Life" CD was recorded in Australia and Germany and released in 2004 Europe and USA, with some of these tracks being released in Australia under the title "Tenology (The Best So Far)". Andy Arthurs and Richard Vella were the recording co-producers. Some of these tracks drew on traditional opera repertoire, but many were reinvented for a broader non-opera going audience. Their 2006 album Here's To The Heroes was heavily influenced by the music of John Barry.

TCA Winter 2011 Press Tour: NBC; The Game's Season Premiere Sets Series Highs on BET
NBC is up today at the TCA Winter 2011 press tour. They are not having an executive session today due to the recent Comcast deal still pending. So we are really not getting any new info today. The day started off with an USA Network Character Breakfast. Then there were panels for Syfy series Being Human and Face Off. Then before NBC was up, Bravo's Platinum Hit, Mun2's I Love Jenni and Oxygen's The Glee Project were up. Panels later this afternoon will have NBC shows go up, as we see The Cape (Mondays at 9pm), Perfect Couples (premieres next Thursday at 8:30pm), America's Next Great Restaurant (premieres Wednesday, March 16), Harry's Law (premieres Monday at 10pm), and Community (Thursdays at 8pm). The day will conclude with a NBC Universal Evening Event party.
IF there is anything noteworthy from NBC's panels this afternoon, we will let you know, so stay with us!
BET's scripted night of programming broke ratings records as millions tuned in on Tuesday, January 11 to watch the hour long cable debut of sitcom The Game at 10:00 p.m. and the series premiere of Let's Stay Together at 11:00 p.m. The Game was the #1 ad-supported sitcom telecast in cable TV history, garnering 7.7 million total viewers and 4.87 coverage rating according to the Nielsen Company and was the #1 The Game telecast on broadcast and cable ever (beating its airings on The CW by miles). The premiere also ranks as the #2 telecast in BET history among viewers (behind BET Awards '09).
Let's Stay Together, a brand new scripted series on the network, ranked among the top 5 ad-supported sitcom premieres in cable TV history ever and was the #2 series telecast in BET history behind The Game, debuting to 4.4 million viewers among 2.7 million households with a 3.0 coverage rating on Tuesday, January 11 at 11:00 p.m.
Following BET Networks' successful syndicate acquisition in February 2009, the BET premiere of The Game picked up where things left off at the end of season three (over two years ago) with the show's main cast -- Coby Bell, Hosea Chanchez, Brittany Daniel, Pooch Hall, Tia Mowry and Wendy Raquel Robinson.
In addition to its incredible on-air performance, The Game had the highest amount of social media buzz of all other prime time television shows, according to Trendrr's Prime Time Television Activity Chart for Tuesday, January 11. At one point, commenting on The Game Facebook page averaged 893 likes per minute, and 750 comments per minute, after the question "What did you think about tonight's episode?" within the first 28 minutes after the post. The Game related topics dominated Twitter with 9 out of the top 10 trending topics 30 minutes into the program.
So why did The Game get such big ratings? The CW aired the series only in primetime once a week, while BET has been airing the series since February in all day parts with a lot of marathons, gaining new fans and airing it with similar style sitcoms. With the amount of networks available today, it is very hard to find an audience for a series airing just once a week. Comedies tend to repeat well and are perfect for marathon viewing. The previous high for The Game on The CW was 3 million viewers for the season two premiere, which was more than doubled in the BET premiere. Maybe more network sitcoms need to have their sitcoms air for marathons or daily afternoon airings to get a bigger audience in primetime. Original dramas on cable also are doing well with the marathon blocks and extra encores, such as ABC Family's Pretty Little Liars, which recently saw series highs for the return.
Both series will regularly air every Tuesday on BET at 10pm & 10:30pm, respectively.

The Art & Photography Foundation is committed to preserving and promoting Indian cultural heritage by connecting the arts to the community. Its key project is the building of a Museum of Art & Photography (MAP) in Bengaluru. One of the objectives of MAP is to educate school children on Indian art and to appreciate it. The Foundation is supporting this initiative.
Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) is a residential institute for tribal people based in Bhubaneswar, India. It provides accommodation, study, career development, and healthcare to 25,000 tribal students each year at its integrated residential campus in Bhubaneswar. The Foundation has extended financial support to this initiative.
"Darshan" under the aegis of the Lala Chaman Lal Educational Trust for Boys and the Smt. Bhagwan Devi Educational Trust for Girls, is a public charitable trust, looking after children with special needs related to speech and hearing impairment. The aim of "Darshan" is to give these children a safe, friendly and happy environment, along with teaching in academics, special crafts and games. The Foundation is supporting this initiative.
Bangalore Effective Education Task Force, BEET Force is in its 5th year. It is working with more than 100 partners to impact more than 10,000 children each year with effective education, bridge schooling, after school tuitions and livelihood skill training.
BEET Force mainstreams more than 600 children back to schools in Bangalore, who were out of school last year. They celebrated their Annual Day, bringing together over 800 children, 400 parents, 150 corporate volunteers and 100 guests, with a spectacular show.
Our flagship Virtual Classroom Learning Program (VC-LP) continues to grow and expand. We now have 11 clusters of over 100 schools, across Karnataka.
The midterm exams have concluded in October. The performance of the students is reasonable, given that this is the first year with the NCERT syllabus. The VC-LP revision sessions have commenced in right earnest and it is expected that the students should perform well in their finals.
Smart Cerebrum is our new implementing partner in the VC-LP in the Kannada medium, operating from an independent studio in Bangalore, with 10 receiving schools connected. The cluster of schools are located at Devanahalli and Doddabalapur and tuition sessions commenced in October 2018 for students in Grade 10. Sessions for Grade 9 will commence in the new academic year.
Special "group hearing aids" have been provided to children of the Red Cross Residential School (for speech and hearing impared), along with a speech trainer. The "group hearing aid"s amplify sounds, thereby enabling the students to hear better. With the assistance of the speech trainer the students are learning to speak.
A Teachers Training program was conducted for the government teachers of our cluster schools, located at Bangalore. This was highly successful and the teachers have appreciated it. Another program was conducted for our VC-LP teachers of our Tumkur cluster. There was also a healthy discussion on the use of technology to teach concepts in the science subject and understanding how to teach the new NCERT syllabus.
The Foundation, through Manipal Hospitals, and from individual donations, continues to financially support healthcare to the poor and needy. Some of the illnesses treated/ procedures include Coronary Heart Disease, Severe Aplastic Anemia, Right Vesico Ureteric Junction Obstruction, Non Hodgkins Lymphoma, Neonatal Sepsis, GBS Syndrome, among others.
2 new batches of 15 students each, are going to commence shortly, and will include male students too.
The Foundation supported the erection of bus shelters at Bhatkal, Dandeli, Karwar, Honnavar and Kumta, in Uttara Kannada. These shelters have side panels with the Foundation's social messaging.
Manipal Foundation supports various other initiatives such as the Daan Utsav campaign during the October week of "giving", and the Hope Home Foundation, an NGO which supports 50 children and 10 senior citizens.

#NPRPoetry Month: What Makes A Haiku A Haiku?
Published April 1, 2018 at 2:11 PM PDT
SARAH MCCAMMON, HOST:
It's April 1, a day of celebrations - April Fools' Day, Easter Sunday and the first day of Poetry Month. Twitter is now officially open to your submissions to hashtag #nprpoetry. Every year, we get many creative original poems sent to us in under 140 characters. And yes, we know Twitter now allows more characters, but we're still asking you to keep it to 140, if you would, please. Because of that particular requirement, many of the poems we get are haiku. That is a traditional Japanese form of poetry that's based on a five-seven-five syllable structure - or is it?
We should say this is not an April Fools' joke. This is a real discussion about poetry. I hit the streets of Washington, D.C., this week to find out more about what makes a haiku a haiku. I was joined by Abigail Friedman, a former American diplomat to Japan and one of the judges of the Golden Haiku competition. For the past five years, the Golden Triangle neighborhood in Washington, D.C., has asked for haiku submissions. And the winners are printed on yard signs and scattered around the neighborhood.
You want to read this first one?
ABIGAIL FRIEDMAN: Yeah, I do. The haiku is by Garry Eaton. It won second place. And the haiku reads - (reading) a basketball spins on the edge of the hoop, spring equinox.
MCCAMMON: Nice one, Garry, but a basketball spins on the edge - that's not five syllables.
FRIEDMAN: I will never say to someone that's not a haiku because if people are so wrapped up in pinning down definitions, they're not wrapped up in the desire to write poetry.
MATT LEVITAS: You know, if you ask anybody on the street, you'll be told it's five-seven-five. And certainly, that's true. But that's one of probably a dozen tools in the haiku writer's kit.
MCCAMMON: That's Matt Levitas from the Japan Information and Cultural Center.
LEVITAS: Just say that the syllable count is the only defining feature, and to say that something is not a haiku based on the number of syllables is really missing the forest for the trees.
MCCAMMON: Which is not to say that five-seven-five comes out of nowhere, it's just a bit lost in translation.
FRIEDMAN: Five-seven-five, in Japan, they're sounds. It's a natural rhythm. It's not a natural rhythm in English, so I can see how people would have taken that and come to the U.S. and said, oh, well, those five-seven-five sounds, they're like our syllables. So let's do that. I also think that, in schools, it was a useful vehicle for teachers in elementary school to teach people how to count syllables. I think a lot of teachers today are starting to see that there is a far more important thing to teach children, which is how to get comfortable writing poetry.
MCCAMMON: And Friedman says there are other equally important haiku rules in Japan that haven't made it into the books over here. like the cut word.
FRIEDMAN: It's a cut. It's a break in the flow. And then the third piece is a season word.
MCCAMMON: You're talking seasons like summer, spring, fall?
FRIEDMAN: And the new year. There are five seasons. In Japan, a season word is a very specific thing. It has to be part of the season encyclopedia, to kind of (unintelligible). If your word is not in there, then it's not a season word. But that whole concept of it having to be in the encyclopedia to make it a season word is also alien to the Western culture because we don't have these encyclopedia. So the idea of picking that five-seven-five piece and saying that's what defines it is not apt.
MCCAMMON: If thinking about those rules for haiku helps you get your ideas flowing, Friedman says that's great. But she says the most-important rule for haiku poets is just to go for it, which is what Matt Levitas did when a couple of helicopters flew over D.C. and interrupted our taping.
You're writing a haiku about the helicopters?
LEVITAS: Yeah, I was just thinking how one would treat that. Two choppers pass, we wait for a third.
MCCAMMON: And you really can write a haiku about pretty much anything.
LEVITAS: What do you think of writing a haiku about a cement mixer?
FRIEDMAN: There are haiku about cement mixers (laughter).
MCCAMMON: If you'd like to send us a haiku or any other form of poem, tweet us @npratc using the hashtag #nprpoetry, and you just might hear your poem on the air. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.


If there was ever anyone who went a little further, a little beyond, it was Alastair MacKenzie. In a career spanning 30 years, MacKenzie served uniquely with the New Zealand Army in Vietnam, the British Parachute Regiment, the British Special Air Service (SAS), the South African Defence Force's famed ParaBats, the Sultan of Oman's Special Forces and a host of private security agencies and defence contractors.
MacKenzie lived the soldier's life to the full as he journeyed 'the Golden Road to Samarkand'. This extraordinary new work from the author of Special Force: The Untold Story of 22nd Special Air Service Regiment (SAS) vividly documents, in a detail that stuns, the experience of infantry combat in Vietnam, life with the Paras, the tempo of selection for UK Special Forces, covert SAS operations in South Armagh and SAS Counter Terrorist training on the UK mainland, vehicle-mounted Pathfinder Brigade insertions into Angola and maritime counter-terrorism work in Oman.
Alastair MacKenzie comes from a military family of long standing and he served as a para-trained platoon commander for 12 months with the New Zealand infantry on combat operations in South Vietnam and in the special forces of South Africa, Oman and the UK, where for four years he was troop commander in the 22nd Special Air Service Regiment. After his retirement as a full-time Army officer he enjoyed a successful commercial career with Royal Ordnance and British Aerospace before moving to consultancy roles. In civilian life he retained an involvement with the Territorial Army as an SAS officer and retired with the rank of lieutenant colonel in 2001. He obtained his PhD in politics in 2005 and is the author of works including Special Force: The Untold Story of 22nd Special Air Service Regiment (SAS) and The Sounds Soldiers' Memorial - Stories of the Fallen. He lives on the South Island of New Zealand.
