Contador has tested positive for Clenbuterol from a July 21 test. He claims that the positive is due to food contamination.
It makes me sad that a routine asthma drug could bring him down like this...but it's banned for a good reason - abuse of the drug can cause heart attacks. Fuyu Li of RadioShack also tested positive for the same drug.
Must be a nightmare for Riis right now…

Fuyu Li didn't just test positive, he received a two year suspension if I'm not mistaken. Good, I'm not a personal fan of Contador, doped up an all he still couldn't even win a stage in the Tour.
#2 roadhouse, Sep 29, 2010
Fuyu Li definitely tested positive.

Did you like my Wikipedia update on Contador? Someone beat me to the update on the Clenbuterol page, however…

This doesn't look good for Contador.

Bye Bye Bjarne! Your down the CRAPPER!!!!!. No Contador El Clenbuterolo.
Award Cadel & Shleck the yellow jerseys.
What is Clenbuterol? What does it do? Is it a major or a minor thing to be caught with? From Wikipedia
It causes an increase in aerobic capacity, central nervous system stimulation, and an increase in blood pressure and oxygen transportation. It increases the rate at which fats are metabolized, simultaneously increasing the body's BMR. It is commonly used for smooth muscle relaxant properties. This means that it is a bronchodilator and tocolytic....... As of fall, 2006, clenbuterol is not an ingredient of any therapeutic drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is now banned for IOC-tested athletes. See further at List of doping cases in sport. Polish sprint canoer Adam Seroczyński was disqualified for taking this drug after finished fourth in the K-2 1000 m event at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, and Chinese cyclist Li Fuyu tested positive for it at the Dwars Door Vlaanderen race in Belgium on March 24, 2010 From the U.S. DEA web site:
Clenbuterol is a potent, long-lasting bronchodilator that is prescribed for human use outside of the U.S. It is abused generally by bodybuilders and athletes for its ability to increase lean muscle mass and reduce body fat (i.e., repartitioning effects). However, clenbuterol is also associated with significant adverse cardiovascular and neurological effects.
Licit Uses:
In the U.S., clenbuterol is not approved for human use; it is only approved for use in horses. In 1998, the FDA approved the clenbuterol-based Ventipulmin Syrup, manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc., as a prescription-only drug for the treatment of airway obstruction in horses (0.8-3.2 µg/kg twice daily). This product is not intended for human use or for use in food-producing animals.
Outside the U.S., clenbuterol is available by prescription for the treatment of bronchial asthma in humans. It is available in tablets (0.01 or 0.02 mg per tablet) and liquid preparations. The recommended dosage is 0.02-0.03 mg twice daily.
Chemistry and Pharmacology:
Clenbuterol is a beta2-adrenergic agonist. Stimulation of the beta2-adrenergic receptors on bronchial smooth muscle produces bronchodilation. However, clenbuterol, like other beta adrenergic agonists, can produce adverse cardiovascular and neurological effects, such as heart palpitations, muscle tremors, and nervousness. Activation of beta-adrenergic receptors also accounts for clenbuterol's ability to increase lean muscle mass and reduce body fat, although the downstream mechanisms by which it does so have yet to be clearly defined.
After ingestion, clenbuterol is readily absorbed (70-80%) and remains in the body for awhile (25-39 hours). As a result of its long half life, the adverse effects of clenbuterol are often prolonged.
Illicit Uses:
Clenbuterol is abused for its ability to alter body composition by reducing body fat and increasing skeletal muscle mass. It is typically abused by athletes and bodybuilders at a dose of 60-120 µg per day. It is often used in combination with other performance enhancing drugs, such as anabolic steroids and growth hormone.
It is also illicitly administered to livestock for its repartitioning effects. This has resulted in several outbreaks of acute illness in Spain, France, Italy, China, and Portugal 0.5-3 hours after individuals ingested liver and meat containing clenbuterol residues. The symptoms, which included increased heart rate, nervousness, headache, muscular tremor, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, fever, and chills, typically resolved within 2 to 6 days. Consequently, the U.S. and Europe actively monitor urine and tissue samples from livestock for the presence of clenbuterol.
There have also been reports of clenbuterol-tainted heroin and cocaine. Although no deaths were attributed to the clenbuterol exposures, the individuals were hospitalized for up to several days due to clenbuterol intoxication.
User Population:
Clenbuterol is typically abused by athletes. It is thought to be more popular among female athletes as the repartitioning effects are not associated with the typical androgenic side effects (i.e., facial hair, deepening of the voice, and thickening of the skin) of anabolic steroids. Professional athletes in several different sports have tested positive for clenbuterol. Clenbuterol is also marketed and abused for weight-loss purposes.
Illicit Distribution:
Clenbuterol is readily available on the Internet as tablets, syrup, and an injectable formulation. The drug is purportedly obtained by illegal importation from other countries where it is approved for human use.
DEA forensic laboratories reported 8 clenbuterol drug items in 2006, 28 items in 2007 and 18 items in 2008. In the first half of 2009, 6 items were reported by DEA laboratories. According to National Forensic Laboratory Information System (NFLIS), state and local forensic laboratories reported 24 clenbuterol drug items/exhibits in 2006, 18 items/exhibits in 2007, and 3 items/exhibits in 2008. From January to June 2009, one item/exhibit was identified as clenbuterol by state and local laboratories. The relatively small numbers are likely a reflection of the non-controlled status of clenbuterol in the United States.
Control status:
Clenbuterol is currently not controlled under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). However, clenbuterol is listed by the World Anti-Doping Agency and the International Olympic Committee as a performance enhancing drug; therefore athletes are barred from its use. Presently, no states have placed clenbuterol under control.

Well…It looks like we need to cool the jets a little here.
http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/uci-contador-positive-requires-further-scientific-investigation
"The concentration found by the laboratory was estimated at 50 picograms (or 0,000 000 000 05 grams per ml) which is 400 time less than what the antidoping laboratories accredited by WADA must be able to detect."
Could the UCI actually pass a 2-year ban, since the levels appear to be below the minimum threshold? The value looks to be very small, but I don't know much about drugs so I can't reach any reliable conclusions.

When I first heard he attributed the possitive to contaminated food it sounded pretty dodgy. Still sounds very dodgy, but not nearly as bad as Landis' booze story. Can't wait for more breaking news. I really don't know anything about this drug other than the wiki page I just read and hearing about a few other althletes testing for it.

#11 pennstater, Sep 29, 2010
Then again, would anyone else be suspended for a level like this? I believe that the tests have to pass some sort of threshold to be considered positive. For instance - hematocrit levels have to pass 50% and if you're at 49% you're OK.
I'd be surprised if anyone actually showed up with all zeros on any given test. You'd be surprised to know how much junk is actually in your blood (you'll find minute amounts of stuff that shouldn't be there, like mercury, arsenic, lead, etc. at minute levels due to drinking water contamination).
Then again, any athlete is responsible for the stuff he puts in his body. Accidental food contamination should warrant some kind of punishment (just like accidents in real life car, fire, etc.), since it still gives the rider an unfair advantage, though the punishment should be less than that of intentional doping.

I agree, but how do you determine if someone intentionaly took something or ingested something that was contaminated thus causing a possitive? Do you take a rider's word for it?
Ted B New Member
I'm no Contador groupie, but this amounts to minutia.
Farmers have been known to administer Clenbuterol to livestock, and documented cases of meat contamination are out there. It's impossible for anyone to know if the meat they've eaten has been contaminated. With a full pharmaceutical dose of Clenbuterol being on the order of 20mcg, it would be very easy to sabotage an athlete, although I doubt that's what happened here.
#14 Ted B, Sep 29, 2010
This stuff is also used to dope horses.

UCI says clenbuterol in Contador sample was 0.05 ng/ml. Amount in TRS's Fuyu Li sample in March was 0.05-0.10. He's awaiting a 2yr ban.

If it's requested that the B sample is tested at another Lab, it's quite possible since the amount is many times less that required to be detectable, that it will come back OK...

Q: Android SAX Parser - Same tag names on several levels I've been looking for a solution in order to parse my xml that has same tag names on several levels. Here is a XML sample of what I have to work on (the sections are not static):
<xml>

     <title>foo</title>

        <title>sub foo #1</title>

          <title>sub sub foo</title>

        <title>sub foo #2</title>

<xml>

I have been trying several possibilities, such as trying Lists, Stacks, but what I have done with SAX hasn't produced anything correct yet; in other words I'm stuck :(
I created a class called Section:
public class Section {
public String id;
public String title;
public List
 sections; }

I'm wondering if I should also add a parent variable?
public Section parent;

If anyone has a solution, I thank you very much! :D

A: Indeed you likely need at least a stack for this.
With (I hope) clear changes to your Section class (setters/getters and a method to add a section), this handler seems to do the trick:
Since your layout appears to allow for multiple
 tags immediately below the <xml> root, I've implemented it also putting the results into a List
.
import org.xml.sax.Attributes;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Stack;

public class SectionXmlHandler extends DefaultHandler {

    private List
 results;
    private Stack
 stack;
    private StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();

    @Override
    public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName, Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
        if ("xml".equals(localName)) {
            results = new ArrayList
();
            stack = new Stack
();
        } else if ("section".equals(localName)) {
            Section currentSection = new Section();
            currentSection.setId(attributes.getValue("id"));
            stack.push(currentSection);
        } else if ("title".equals(localName)) {
            buffer.setLength(0);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName) throws SAXException {
        if ("section".equals(localName)) {
            Section currentSection = stack.pop();
            if (stack.isEmpty()) {
                results.add(currentSection);
            } else {
                Section parent = stack.peek();
                parent.addSection(currentSection);
            }
        } else if ("title".equals(localName)) {
            Section currentSection = stack.peek();
            currentSection.setTitle(buffer.toString());
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length) throws SAXException {
        buffer.append(ch, start, length);
    }

    public List
 getResults() {
        return results;

Muddled tax residency rules "embarrassing"
Partner Clint Harding is quoted in today's AFR in response to a Federal Court ruling on the controversial "backpacker tax", commenting that the case further exemplifies a "complicated web of concepts covering tax residents, temporary residents and working holidaymakers".
The ruling by Justice John Logan now means that the tax cannot be applied to working holidaymakers from countries including the US, UK, Germany, Finland, Japan, Norway, Turkey and Chile, because it contravenes non-discrimination clauses contained in tax treaties Australia has signed.
"In my view, uncertainty prevails and should be addressed," Clint said. "It is getting to the point where it is becoming embarrassing for all of those involved in advising on, and indeed administering, issues concerning tax residency."
"It is getting to the point where it is becoming embarrassing for all of those involved in advising on, and indeed administering, issues concerning tax residency."
Clint Harding, Partner
Clint said some backpackers could be entitled to refunds from the Australian Taxation Office, provided they were citizens of countries with which Australia had signed tax treaties containing a non-discrimination clause, and whose circumstances are such that they are considered tax residents of Australia.

THE NIGHTINGALE, now in limited theatrical release, is Australian director Jennifer Kent's followup to THE BABADOOK. That 2014 debut of hers was a critical sensation and cult hit that made less than 1/34 the box office of ANNABELLE the same year, but it reached a ton of people, including many who don't usually bother with the genre. Certainly some of the hype was about it being directed by a woman, and I think that's relevant in that its scares are based in motherhood. I can point you to plenty of pro-woman horror movies, but few that are about such specifically female fears.
That made Kent one of those directors whose names get reported as being on the short list to direct every WONDER WOMAN or CAPTAIN MARVEL that comes along. She told Indiewire "I did entertain one blockbuster seriously and I thought, yeah, I could give this something really special. But then ultimately I heard about the way the films are made, and I thought it would kill me." So five years later she still hasn't been sucked into the ol' i.p. game, unless you count developing an adaptation of the 19th century lesbian thriller book Alice + Freda Forever. Instead she made this. (read the rest of this shit…)

Scott Cooper is an actor-turned-writer/director who seems slightly under the radar to me. He made a splash with CRAZY HEART ten years ago, a movie that somehow seems overshadowed by Jeff Bridge's Oscar-winning performance in it (and that I thought of a few times watching A STAR IS BORN). His followup, the gloomy crime drama OUT OF THE FURNACE (2013), teamed him with Christian Bale (POCAHONTAS) for the first time, and I have to admit that I have not seen his poorly reviewed BLACK MASS (2015). But he didn't write that one. I only watch the ones he directs and writes, obviously.
2017's HOSTILES (based on a manuscript written by Donald E. Stewart [JACKSON COUNTY JAIL, DEATHSPORT, THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, PATRIOT GAMES, CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER] in the '80s) reteamed him with Bale for what might be categorized as a Real Serious Western – the kind where the director is hesitant to call it a western ("I don't think in terms of genre… If anything it's a psychological western in the vein of Anthony Mann…I don't think it's a western, it has more in common with Joseph Conrad or Larry McMurtry or Louis L'Amour" he told Moviemaker) and you want to grab them and tell them "all right cool it buddy, just admit you made a really good western." (See also THE REVENANT.)
But I guess I sort of get it. A completely traditional western is not very marketable in this day and age. Most people don't really want the genre without a little bit of a new spin on it, and HOSTILES has one. (read the rest of this shit…)

SILVERADO is Lawrence Kasdan's upbeat 1985 western about some cowboys and, you know… they meet up and ride together and there's guns and a jail and a saloon and a guy trying to steal land and all that. I don't know, it's a western.
This was Kasdan's third time directing, after BODY HEAT and THE BIG CHILL. But consider that in the half decade before this he co-wrote THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and RETURN OF THE JEDI. This is his rare directing job that has some of the vibe of those George Lucas productions. He wrote SILVERADO with his brother Mark (CRIMINAL LAW) and all these decades later he wrote SOLO with his son Jonathan (who had a bit part in SILVERADO at the age of 14) so I thought it would be a good time to write about this one.

El Condor
Thursday, May 3rd, 2018
In 1970, a couple years before he was SLAUGHTER and BLACK GUNN, Jim Brown was the manly hero of the western EL CONDOR. He plays Luke, who's introduced chained up in a prison labor camp. But the Union army has a mission that could use his special set of skills, so they make him an offer he can't refuse: if he'll sneak in and blow up a train for them, they'll give him his amnesty papers.
Just kidding, he can refuse! He's already been through that whole suicide mission thing before in THE DIRTY DOZEN. This time he breaks his chains, shoves the papers in the captain's mouth and escapes. This is one badass reversal of expectations I'm gonna assume belongs to Larry Cohen (RETURN OF THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN), who's credited as screenwriter along with Steven Carabatsos (TENTACLES, HOT PURSUIT). Luke is a Han Solo who stays selfish. Instead of fucking around with war shit and learning a greater cause, he goes on his own mission to try to get Emperor Maximilian's gold that, according to legend, is in the El Condor fortress, protected by the strongman Chavez (Patrick O'Neal, SILENT NIGHT BLOODY NIGHT, THE STUFF, UNDER SIEGE).

Jane Got a Gun
JANE GOT A GUN is a straight forward modern western, and a pretty good one. It doesn't reinvent the genre, or have a new twist on it, other than to star Natalie Portman (STAR WARS I, II, III), who also produced it and fought to bring it back to life after the original director famously left on the first day of production.
I can see why she cared about it so much. It's a good role for her, one she must've done alot of preparation for. She's a much more natural western heroine than I pictured. Jane Hammond lives in a little house on a remote patch of land with a young daughter (Maisie McMaster). One day her husband Bill (Noah Emmerich, WINDTALKERS), who everybody calls "Ham," comes home dying of a bullet wound. She does exactly what all movie people do in that situation – give him a bottle of liquor, pull the slug out with tongs, and most importantly DROP THE SLUG INTO A METAL BOWL – then chews him out, puts on a hat and a coat and goes out to take care of business.
Okay, I'm making that sound a little more badass than it is, because Jane's no-fuckin-around demeanor makes it seem that way. She's not going to get revenge or nothing, she's actually going to drop the kid off at a friend's house and then go beg her drunk ex-boyfriend to protect her from the Bishop Boys, the guys who shot Ham and who he says are coming for him. And for her. (read the rest of this shit…)

Two Mules For Sister Sara
Tuesday, January 2nd, 2018
In TWO MULES FOR SISTER SARA, grizzled poncho wearing already-played-The-Man-With-No-Name Clint Eastwood stumbles across a lady about to be gang raped in a Mexican desert. He rescues her with his gun and a stick of dynamite and when she puts her clothes back on it's a damn nun's habit!
She is Sister Sara (Shirley MacLaine) and, although she's headed in the opposite direction of Clint's character Hogan, she ends up getting his protection. The joke of the title was completely over my head until I read about it, but she has one mule and then Hogan is metaphorically the second one. She confesses to him that the French soldiers in the area are looking for her because she was caught raising money for the Mexican army. She hates what these colonialists are doing to the locals.
(Some of the things I've read say that Sister Sara was scripted as Mexican. If MacLaine was supposed to be playing it that way I sure didn't pick up on it.)
Hogan, it turns out, is sort of like Benicio Del Toro in THE LAST JEDI, he doesn't believe in taking sides (he's a civil war vet and thinks that makes him a sucker) but he had agreed to a job blowing up a French garrison because he'd get to keep half of their treasury. (read the rest of this shit…)

a survey of summer movies that just didn't catch on
Big Willie Weekend, 1999
Two summers after their hit film MEN IN BLACK, director Barry Sonnenfeld (d.p. of BLOOD SIMPLE) and star Will Smith (SUICIDE SQUAD) tried to bring a similar comedy/special-effects/adventure mix to the old west. It's like a western in that there are cowboy hats, guns, railroads and occasional horses, but also not really because it's about two top agents for the president going undercover and then having a big battle against a giant mechanical spider that's on a rampage and headed for the White House. Not a type of story I've seen done with John Wayne or Clint or anybody.
The basis is The Wild Wild West, a western-meets-spies TV show that lasted four seasons, ending thirty years prior to the movie. It was actually cancelled not due to a lack of popularity, but controversy over violence on television, and did have two followup TV movies. But the last of those was in 1980, and nineteen years later it was at best a cult show, and not yet available on DVD. So this is another expensive blockbuster based on characters that most of its intended youthful audience had never seen, or in this case even heard of.
But they didn't have to know it was based on anything. Waning interest in westerns may have been a bigger problem, but that could've been overcome by the popularity of Smith, or the fun gimmick of the gadgets and steampunk type robotics, or the energetic style and cartoonish humor of the director of the ADDAMS FAMILY movies.
But that didn't happen. (read the rest of this shit…)

3 Godfathers
John Ford's 3 GODFATHERS is a nice Christmas western. It takes place in the desert and the titleistical trio of outlaws are dying of thirst for most of it, but it's mentioned that it's Christmas time, and there are allusions to the three wisemen, the star, and other aspects of the Nativity story.
Robert Hightower (John Wayne), Pedro "Pete" Rocafuerte (Pedro Armendariz) and William "The Abeline Kid" Kearney (and introducing Harry Carey, Jr.) are riding into the small town of Welcome to rob a bank, but they stop to make fun of a guy (Ward Bond, RIO BRAVO, IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE) because the name on his house says "B. Sweet." He goes by Buck, but his wife calls him "Perley" in front of them and they think that's a hilariously "perty name" too. They're being mean, but Mrs. Sweet (Mae Marsh, BIRTH OF A NATION) brings them coffee, makes small talk about where they're from and growing up with red hair, and also mention to important plot points (the location of a watering hole and that there's a town called New Jerusalem).
It's all nice and good until Sweet puts on his vest and everybody sees his sheriff's badge. Everybody puts on their "oh this" faces except Sweet, who puts on his "yeah, that's right, I know what you dipshits are up to" face.

The Magnificent Seven (2016 remake)
First of all, man, I am never gonna get that theme song out of my head. It's on the original and the three sequels and on this remake it's just on the end credits, other than some sly hints at its rhythm adapted to percussion and that exotic flute type thing that modern film composers love. But it's so catchy and I've heard it so many times this last week or two that it's burned onto my brain like what used to happen to TVs if you left it on a DVD menu all day. Thanks alot, Elmer Bernstein.
In Antoine Fuqua's THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, we have a small town in Kansas (not Mexico) being threatened by a wealthy land baron (not bandits) who comes in with a bunch of killers, and makes a shitty, non-negotiable offer for their land, that he says they can accept or be killed when he comes back in three weeks. And he makes this threat at gunpoint inside the church! Not cool.
This opening shows the dangers of normal people standing up to these bullies: they quickly execute the first guy who does it, and this escalates into a massacre. This asshole Bogue (Peter Sarsgaard) tells the in-his-pocket-out-of-fear sheriff to leave the bodies where they are, burns down the church and stops by the whorehouse on the way out.

The final MAGNIFICENT SEVEN sequel came 12 years after the original from Canadian-born TV director George McCowan, after doing FROGS the same year. Screenwriter Arthur Rowe had also done mostly TV, including a few westerns like The Range Rider and The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin. This time Lee Van Cleef takes over as Chris Adams, but if they didn't say his name it would be easy to not realize he was the same character.
The opening is reminiscent of the much better sequel HIGH NOON PART II, because now Chris is a marshal in the Arizona territory and he's using his recent marriage as an excuse not to use his magnificence to help bounty hunter Jim Mackay (Ralph Waite, The Waltons, CLIFFHANGER) defend a Mexican border town from bandits like he used to do in the old days. He's not like that anymore, and all their magnificent buddies are dead or in jail. Some of them he put there.
Supposedly he even owes Jim one, but not from some incident we saw in one of the other movies, since this is not a character we've seen before. Continuity opportunities are also missed when Chris is asked about his legendary exploits and they have none of them are things he did in the other movies. This could've been an unrelated western they changed into a sequel right before filming. (read the rest of this shit…)

Titanfall Excluded From EA Access and Origin Access - No Free Trial or Early Access
You can't try before you buy.
By Matt Porter
Updated: 5 Sep 2016 12:10 pm
Posted: 5 Sep 2016 12:10 pm
If you were hoping to try out Titanfall 2 before the game comes out, you're going to be disappointed.
According to GameReactor, Titanfall 2 will not be part of EA Access or Origin Access, meaning there won't be any free trials or early access to the game, nor will there be any discounts when it launches.
This report is backed up by the fact it says Titanfall 2 is excluded from EA Access in the fine print of the FAQ section of the official website. Respawn told GameReactor it might get included in the future, but not this year.
EA / Origin Access is a membership program on Xbox One and PC which often gives you early access to EA games before they release, and discounts on digital purchases.
It also gives you access to The Vault, a selection of games subscribers have unlimited access to. Today's announcement doesn't necessarily mean Titanfall 2 won't become part of The Vault later on.
On the latest IGN Unlocked show, we discussed the ins and outs of the recent Titanfall 2 Tech Test. The game is scheduled for a full release on October 28.
Matt Porter is a freelance writer based in London. Make sure to visit what he thinks is the best website in the world, but is actually just his Twitter page.
Was this article informative?
Bring down the sky yet again in the fast-paced warfare of the sequel to Titanfall, featuring multiplayer and for the first time a single-player campaign that puts you in the shoes of soldier Jack Cooper, accompanied by a sentient robot companion.

Created in 1964, this original color lithograph was included in a series of 11 original lithographs illustrating a text by Joan Brossa et al. titled Miró. Obra Inèdita Recent. Initialed by Joan Miró (1893 – 1983) in pencil in the lower right and numbered 95/100 in pencil in the lower left. Printed by Litografía Foto-Repro, Barcelona in December 1964 out of the total edition of 100 signed and numbered works on Guarro paper (aside from the edition of 1000 on offset paper).
This colorful and playful composition of childlike strokes is one of the largest lithographs created in this series. Its bold sea greens complement the lighter shades of orange and yellow which radiate from the center. There is a maritime quality to this work, with a bold, black anchor along the right side and what seems to be a surfer who catches a wave and attempts to ride it across the composition. The momentum and energy of the work is captured by Miró's signature strokes seen throughout.

When we talk about celebrities, we all know that they are vital when they did something out of the ordinary or something that is considered to be trending in the current era.
As an example, there are celebrities who like to embrace children and that are building a hit in the news such as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
These will be the modern day performers that like to eat healthy and make it show to the world which they're by demonstrating what they consume and what they don't. So, here's to the celebrities who are health conscious or, at least, appear to be one.
The majority of the trendiest celebrities today are vegan – or possibly, the other way around. It may be stated that many actors take attention from being vegan, which explains the reason they are being regarded as trendy.
In her Instagram account, she made mention that she's going vegan. However, the attached photograph with such caption says otherwise at it highlighted her eating something from what appears like a pizza with hams on it.
Beyonce was captured on an interview admitting that she had been among those Vegan Celebrities. However, she still eats meat stating it is just all about balance — which unfortunately goes to demonstrate that she isn't Vegan, in the strictest sense of the word.
In a meeting with Ryan Seacrest, Jared Leto has been up front and honest about the entire thing. When asked when he had been a Vegan, he said he'd rather be called a"cheagan". But he can not help but have some tempting cheat times once in a while.
Stars going Vegan has been indeed deemed to be the new trend. There are some fair and serious ones who are doing it but we can't help but have some naughty ones trying to go Vegan.

Albany, GA (Turner City)
About Albany, GA (Turner City)
Real Estate Prices and Overview
Turner City median real estate price is $68,843, which is less expensive than 93.5% of Georgia neighborhoods and 94.7% of all U.S. neighborhoods.
The average rental price in Turner City is currently $911, based on NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis. Rents here are currently lower in price than 82.6% of Georgia neighborhoods.
Turner City is a suburban neighborhood (based on population density) located in Albany, Georgia.
Turner City real estate is primarily made up of medium sized (three or four bedroom) to small (studio to two bedroom) single-family homes and small apartment buildings. Most of the residential real estate is occupied by a mixture of owners and renters. Many of the residences in the Turner City neighborhood are older, well-established, built between 1940 and 1969. A number of residences were also built between 1970 and 1999.
Turner City has a 13.1% vacancy rate, which is well above average compared to other U.S. neighborhoods (higher than 68.5% of American neighborhoods). Most vacant housing here is vacant year round. This could either signal that there is a weak demand for real estate in the neighborhood or that large amount of new housing has been built and not yet occupied. Either way, if you live here, you may find many of the homes or apartments are empty.
Notable & Unique Neighborhood Characteristics
The way a neighborhood looks and feels when you walk or drive around it, from its setting, its buildings, and its flavor, can make all the difference. This neighborhood has some really cool things about the way it looks and feels as revealed by NeighborhoodScout's exclusive research. This might include anything from the housing stock to the types of households living here to how people get around.
Notable & Unique: People
The Turner City neighborhood stands out for having an average per capita income lower than 97.2% of the neighborhoods in the United States. Also of note, 77.0% of the children in this area live in poverty; an extraordinarily high percentage compared to other neighborhoods in the nation. In a nation where approximately one in four children grows up in poverty, this neighborhood stands out for the depth of the problem manifested here.
In addition, of particular note, 14.7% of the people in the Turner City neighborhood currently reside in a correction facility, held due to punishment for a crime.
Notable & Unique: Migration / Stability
The freedom of moving to new places versus the comfort of home. How much and how often people move not only can create diverse and worldly neighborhoods, but simultaneously it can produce a loss of intimacy with one's surroundings and a lack of connectedness to one's neighbors. NeighborhoodScout's exclusive research has identified this neighborhood as unique with regard to the transience of its populace. In the Turner City neighborhood, a greater proportion of the residents living here today did not live here five years ago than is found in 95.8% of U.S. Neighborhoods. This neighborhood, more than almost any other in America, has new residents from other areas.
The Neighbors: Income
There are two complementary measures for understanding the income of a neighborhood's residents: the average and the extremes. While a neighborhood may be relatively wealthy overall, it is equally important to understand the rate of people - particularly children - who are living at or below the federal poverty line, which is extremely low income. Some neighborhoods with a lower average income may actually have a lower childhood poverty rate than another with a higher average income, and this helps us understand the conditions and character of a neighborhood.
The neighbors in the Turner City neighborhood in Albany are low income, making it among the lowest income neighborhoods in America. NeighborhoodScout's research shows that this neighborhood has an income lower than 97.2% of U.S. neighborhoods. With 77.0% of the children here below the federal poverty line, this neighborhood has a higher rate of childhood poverty than 99.3% of U.S. neighborhoods.
The Neighbors: Occupations
A neighborhood is far different if it is dominated by enlisted military personnel rather than people who earn their living by farming. It is also different if most of the neighbors are clerical support or managers. What is wonderful is the sheer diversity of neighborhoods, allowing you to find the type that fits your lifestyle and aspirations.
In the Turner City neighborhood, 39.1% of the working population is employed in manufacturing and laborer occupations. The second most important occupational group in this neighborhood is sales and service jobs, from major sales accounts, to working in fast food restaurants, with 36.6% of the residents employed. Other residents here are employed in executive, management, and professional occupations (12.7%), and 11.1% in clerical, assistant, and tech support occupations.
The Neighbors: Languages
The most common language spoken in the Turner City neighborhood is English, spoken by 98.2% of households.
The Neighbors: Ethnicity / Ancestry
Culture is the shared learned behavior of peoples. Undeniably, different ethnicities and ancestries have different cultural traditions, and as a result, neighborhoods with concentrations of residents of one or another ethnicities or ancestries will express those cultures. It is what makes the North End in Boston so fun to visit for the Italian restaurants, bakeries, culture, and charm, and similarly, why people enjoy visiting Chinatown in San Francisco.
In the Turner City neighborhood in Albany, GA, residents most commonly identify their ethnicity or ancestry as Sub-Saharan African (1.9%). There are also a number of people of African ancestry (1.4%), and residents who report English roots (1.3%).
Getting to Work
How you get to work – car, bus, train or other means – and how much of your day it takes to do so is a large quality of life and financial issue. Especially with gasoline prices rising and expected to continue doing so, the length and means of one's commute can be a financial burden. Some neighborhoods are physically located so that many residents have to drive in their own car, others are set up so many walk to work, or can take a train, bus, or bike. The greatest number of commuters in Turner City neighborhood spend between 15 and 30 minutes commuting one-way to work (42.3% of working residents), which is shorter than the time spent commuting to work for most Americans.
Here most residents (74.9%) drive alone in a private automobile to get to work. In addition, quite a number also carpool with coworkers, friends, or neighbors to get to work (16.8%) . In a neighborhood like this, as in most of the nation, many residents find owning a car useful for getting to work.

This is the story of the Chain Chronicle, a book that describes everything that happens in the world. The citizens of the remote continent of Yggd once thought that there was nothing beyond their continent. The continent was divided into several regions, each with its own king. Though there were small skirmishes amongst them, a lord, chosen by the kings in conference, always maintained balance, until the evil Black Army arrived. The Volunteer Army, led by Yuri, was no match for the Black Army. During the fighting, the Lord of Black captures half of the Chain Chronicle, as well as the capital.


The domestic space is filled with inspirations. In my home environment, possessions are stacked and saved, washed and stitched, patched together and revitalized. This cacophony of colors, shapes and patterns informs and inspires my studio work.
Off-kilter piles, repetitive patterns and cluttered surfaces appear in my compositions. Random and energetic arrangements of form are balanced on the picture plane by sparse quiet areas.
I make oil paintings, mixed media collages, prints and wall sculptures.
I reuse found objects such as polystyrene packaging, junk mail envelopes, cancelled checks, old fabrics, lace, yarn and plastic bread tags in my work to create a narrative about order and disorder, the beautiful and the common. I find a surprising beauty in the mundane – the data, the debris, the evidence of daily life.

John 19:42 And because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
And so, because it was the day of preparation for the Jewish Passover and since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
And because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
So on account of the Preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus there.
The tomb was nearby, and since it was the time to prepare for the Sabbath, they were in a hurry to put Jesus' body there.
Since it was the day before the Sabbath and because the tomb was close by, they placed Jesus' body there.
They placed Jesus there because of the Jewish preparation and since the tomb was nearby.
Because it was the Jewish Preparation Day, and because the tomb was nearby, they put Jesus there.
And so, because it was the Jewish day of preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus' body there.
Then because of the Jewish Preparation Day (for the tomb was nearby) they put Jesus there.
And they laid Yeshua there because the Sabbath was approaching and because the tomb was nearby.
Joseph and Nicodemus put Jesus in that tomb, since that day was the Jewish day of preparation and since the tomb was nearby.
Therefore on account of the Jewish day of preparation, because the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
Therefore they laid Jesus there because of the Jews' preparation day, for the sepulchre was near.
There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulcher was near at hand.
There then because of the Jews Preparation (for the tomb was nigh at hand) they laid Jesus.
There, therefore, because of the parasceve of the Jews, they laid Jesus, because the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
There they laid Jesus therefore, because of the Jews' preparation-day, for the sepulcher was nigh at hand.
Therefore, because it was the day of Preparation for the Jewish Passover, and the tomb was close at hand, they put Jesus there.
Then because of the Jews' Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand) they laid Jesus there.
…41Now there was a garden in the place where Jesus was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. 42And because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about the sixth hour. And Pilate said to the Jews, "Here is your King!"
Now there was a garden in the place where Jesus was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.
Strong's Greek 3904: The day of preparation, the day before the Sabbath, Friday. As if from paraskeuazo; readiness.
(42) The Jews' preparation day.--Comp. John 19:14; John 19:31, and Excursus F: The Day of the Crucifixion of our Lord, p. 559.
Verse 42. - There, therefore, by reason of the preparation of the Jews, for the sepulcher was nigh at hand, they laid Jesus. John assigns the rapidity with which the process could be completed as a reason for entombment in this particular garden sepulcher, and the ground of the urgency was the "preparation" solemnities. Once more the critics divide into two groups as to the significance of this reference to the date of the Lord's death. It is obvious that both the synoptists and John imply that it was a "Friday," and that the next day was the sabbath. Why, for the third time in the space of a few lines, should this circumstance be noticed? On the first occasion, the morning of the day is said to be "the preparation of the Passover;" on the second it is called "preparation before the sabbath," and John adds that that particular sabbath was a "high day," which, as we have seen, is explained by remembering that its sanctity was doubled, seeing that on that particular year the weekly sabbath would coincide with the 15th of Nisan, which had a sabbatic value of its own. Now he says for the third time it was the "preparation of the Jews" - as we understand it, a day or a time when special preparations were being made by the Jews, and that before sunset, for the slaying of the Paschal lamb. Moreover, the sabbath was drawing on (ἐπέφωσκεν, Luke 23:54). This threefold statement implies that there was something more in the παρασκευή than the Friday of the Passover week. It is curious to observe the precisely contradictory conclusions drawn from this statement by two classes of interpreters. Godet has given an interesting sketch (vol. 3. pp. 286, 287) of the extraordinary idea of M. Lutteroth, that the Lord was crucified on the 10th of Nisan! that he rose from the dead three full days and nights afterwards, on the morning of the 14th. But why should John three times over thus designate the day? and why should the synoptists lay such emphasis on its being the "preparation," if the day were really the first great day of the Passover Feast? It is remarkable that St. Paul, referring to the institution of the Eucharist, does not say "on the night of the Passover meal," but on "the night in which he was betrayed" (1 Corinthians 11:23), and he speaks of Jesus as the (ἀπαρχή) "Firstfruits of the dead," as though the resurrection morning coincided with the presentation of the firstfruits, which, on the idea that Jesus suffered on the 15th, would have been presented on the morning of the Jewish sabbath, while the reference in 1 Corinthians 5:7-9, written at the time of a Passover, is rather in favor of the slaying of the Paschal lamb coinciding with the death of Jesus than the institution of the Eucharist doing so. The most extraordinary reference to the Παρασκεύη is that which St. Matthew 28:62 introduces, when he actually refers to the sabbath when it had begun (on the evening of the 14th or 15th, whichever it was, i.e. after 6 p.m.) under the designation of "the day after the preparation." Generally the more important day would receive its own proper name, and not be designated by the less signal day. Why did not St. Matthew say, "On the morrow, which was the Sabbath"? The one group of interpreters answer that he wished to discriminate the veritable sabbath as distinct from the half-sabbath of the previous day, made so by being also the great day of the feast! But it is more natural to suppose that "the day of preparation," the death-day of the Lord, loomed so largely in the mind of the evangelist, that its morrow derived importance in this particular instance from itself. The only real difficulty in settling this wearisome controversy arises from one statement in the synoptists, which, if resolved in the rigid sense of limiting their expressions to the evening of the 14th and beginning of the 15th, involves us in grave difficulties when considering five or six distinct and independent statements of John's Gospel. We have shown at each of these places the double method of exegetical treatment that has been attempted, and in each case honesty compels us to admit that John is here in apparent discord with the synoptists. If, however, our Lord anticipated by a few hours the celebration of the Paschal supper, seeing that his "hour was come," not indeed deviating from the legal day (though, as Lord of the sabbath and greater than the temple, he was amply justified in doing so), but hurrying on the process between the 13th and 14th, when the water-bearers would be seen fetching their pure water for the purpose; and if he celebrated the Passover at the beginning rather than the end of the 14th of Nisan, then the apparent discord between John and the synoptists vanishes, and the terrible events of the trials and crucifixion of Jesus really took place at the time when the Jews (not Christ himself) were preparing for the Passover proper. On this hypothesis the two narratives would be no longer in hopeless antagonism. With this conclusion we are more satisfied, since, as we have seen in John 13:1 and elsewhere, the synoptists themselves afford numerous corroboratory evidences (Introduction, pp. 92-95.).
19:38-42 Joseph of Arimathea was a disciple of Christ in secret. Disciples should openly own themselves; yet some, who in lesser trials have been fearful, in greater have been courageous. When God has work to do, he can find out such as are proper to do it. The embalming was done by Nicodemus, a secret friend to Christ, though not his constant follower. That grace which at first is like a bruised reed, may afterward resemble a strong cedar. Hereby these two rich men showed the value they had for Christ's person and doctrine, and that it was not lessened by the reproach of the cross. We must do our duty as the present day and opportunity are, and leave it to God to fulfil his promises in his own way and his own time. The grave of Jesus was appointed with the wicked, as was the case of those who suffered as criminals; but he was with the rich in his death, as prophesied, Isa 53:9; these two circumstances it was very unlikely should ever be united in the same person. He was buried in a new sepulchre; therefore it could not be said that it was not he, but some other that rose. We also are here taught not to be particular as to the place of our burial. He was buried in the sepulchre next at hand. Here is the Sun of Righteousness set for a while, to rise again in greater glory, and then to set no more.

Freedom's Promise Ep. 04: Hidden Heroes the Human Computers of NASA
Duchess Harris and her son Zach present the story of the black women "hidden human computers" of NASA. Duchess' own grandmother -- Zach's great grandmother -- Miriam Daniel Mann was one of these amazing women who made significant contributions to NASA from the 1940s to the 1960s. They connect their personal family story to the history of the "space race" and discuss the obstacles blacks -- especially women -- faced in achieving a math and science education.

Week In Review – November 11 2019
November 11, 2019 by editor
U.S. and China Agree in Principle on Path to End Trade War… The two sides agreed to remove some tariffs in what is being called phase one of the end of the trade war.
What it means – The two sides haven't released details, but Chinese Commerce Ministry Spokesman Gao Feng said that both sides have agreed to remove some of the additional tariffs in phases. This agreement was a condition for the Chinese to agree on another round of negotiations. Still missing is the critical agreement to discontinue corporate espionage and respect intellectual property rights. This issue should have been a condition of China's admittance to the World Trade Organization.
The development boosted equity markets around the world. But the potential end of the trade war brings up a question. How much does it matter? The U.S. raked in a record $7 billion in tariffs in September, which sounds like a lot but is just 1.8% of the $374 billion in total taxes collected by the government that month.
Have you refused to purchase something or changed your spending habits since the tariffs went into effect? Mexico, Viet Nam and other Asian countries have eagerly stepped in to replace the damaged Chinese manufacturing supply line. With the Chinese exporters eating some of the costs and American importers taking some of the weight, American consumers didn't feel a heavy burden. As a result, U.S. consumers have experienced little in the way of shortages or price hikes.
When the tariffs end, Chinese and American companies will make a little more, but it's doubtful economic activity will jump. It may be a long time before China is able to recapture the production lost to other countries.
October Auto Sales Down 5.7%… U.S. auto sales fell from an annualized rate of 17.5 million in September to 16.5 million in October, missing estimates of 17 million.
What it means – Industry experts have been forecasting slower auto sales for a couple of years, noting that we bought more than 17 million cars in both 2017 and 2018. Eventually, we just don't need that many. But the weak pace in October took some by surprise as they had forecast 2018 sales to be 16.9 million. The weakness in auto sales last month should show up in the retail sales report next week. If auto sales continue to slip in November and December, it could push down the fourth-quarter GDP.
Be thankful we aren't in Germany where Volkswagen (VWAGY) sales recently fell by 18% – three times worse than here at home. On top of VW's public relation problem of fraud, tightening emission standards are compounding VW's slowing sales.
September Factory Orders Fell 0.6%… The report was just a touch weaker than the -0.5% expectation.
What it means – The story on factory orders remains the same. As Boeing (BA) continues to struggle with its 737 Max, aircraft orders have stalled, which brings down the headline number. But in the details, non-defense orders excluding aircraft are also weak, down 0.6%. That shows businesses aren't spending their cash on additional capacity, which means they don't see a huge return on additional investment in the months to come.
Third-Quarter Labor Costs Rose and Productivity Fell… Labor costs increased 3.6% last quarter, much higher than the 2.2% estimate, and productivity fell 0.3% on expectations of a 1.0% rise.
What it means – It's all about how much we work to produce goods. Last quarter, we worked more and were paid more than the increase in output over the same time period. The result was lower productivity. Part of the problem might not be on the factory floor. Slowing demand, as shown in factory orders, can drive down the productivity measure as goods sold don't match up with increased production. That situation won't last. Either demand must pick up or companies will produce less. Given that businesses aren't increasing their investment, it looks like lower production lies ahead.
September Eurozone PPI Up 0.1%, Down 1.2% Over Last Year… The numbers were in line with expectations and marked the seventh consecutive decline in growth and the weakest reading in three years.
What it means – If businesses aren't paying more for stuff, there's no reason to think consumers will, either. The story of September producer prices in the eurozone shows that inflation is dead for the moment, even as the central bank lowers the punitive interest rate on big deposits to negative 0.50% and brings back bond purchases. The eurozone is quickly going the way of Japan in proving that monetary policy is ineffective at stoking inflation, but they'll keep trying!
Thirty years in Japan and ten in Europe should be enough evidence that quantitative easing and lowering interest rates does not stimulate consumption and revive an economy. However, for the academics at the Fed, the economic model can't be wrong. It just needs more time for the rate cuts to work.
11,000 Scientists Sign on to Climate Change Paper Demanding Immediate Action, Including Population Controls… In a paper published in Bioscience, 11,000 scientists signed on to support the case for a climate emergency. Unsurprisingly, they found that wealthy nations are the biggest culprits as they drive gas-guzzling cars and eat meat sourced from ruminating animals (cows).
To avert a climate disaster, they recommend changes in six areas: food, nature, energy, short-lived pollutants, economy, and population. It's the last one that will catch your attention. The group calls for ending population growth and, in a perfect world, reducing the population while maintaining a framework that ensures social integrity.
They didn't define the last part, but it likely means a framework they design.
No word on the scientists giving up their cars or refusing to ride on airplanes or eat red meat or agreeing to not have children themselves.

The Wolgan Valley is a beautiful cliff-lined valley north of Lithgow, far beyond the urban jungle of the Upper Blue Mountains.
There is pleasant camping in the valley at Newnes (once a thriving mining town, now just an old pub and a campground). Unlike most climbing areas in the Blue Mountains, you have to walk up to the cliffs instead of down or abseil in.
The rock varies from classic shear faces offering stunning face climbs and splitting cracks, to rubble and choss. Many consider the rock this side of the mountains a little sandy for their fancies; all the better for Wolgan devotees who have acres of rock to explore and climb all to themselves.
There is a lifetime of climbing here.
From Sydney: Take the Great Western Highway to Lithgow, then take the Mudgee exit to Lidsdale, then follow the signs to Newnes. About 2.5 hours.
There are no services in the valley at all. The old pub only serves icecreams and cold drinks, but no beer. Lithgow is the closest town with supermarkets, bakeries, internet, etc. Bring drinking water or boil water from the river.
If you are new to climbing in the Wolgan Valley, I suggest you get hold of the Wade Stevens guidebook, as it will introduce you to the Valley and get you orientated. The climbing areas described here will form the basis of the next guidebook, to replace the current one eventually.
