Jason Bateman Lists Lovely Hills Mid-Century for $2.25MM
By Bianca Barragan Nov 3, 2014, 12:00pm PST
Arrested Development, Teen Wolf 2, and Horrible Bosses star Jason Bateman and his wife Amanda are unloading this chic 1953 home in Laurel Canyon that they bought over a decade ago. Bateman and his wife purchased the late Ernest Borgnine's BHPO estate last year for $3 million, which could be a factor in their decision to part with this lushly-landscaped, 2,879-square-foot home. The four-bedroom house has beamed ceilings, enormous windows, and a waterfall that "cascades into the koi pond" in the backyard, says the LA Times. The secluded home also has a gated entry for cars and another gate for pedestrians to enter the compound. The Batemans bought the property in 2002 for just $885,000; it's listed now for $2.25 million.

At QALO, family is everything to us. We love supporting families and helping them live their best lives together. Whether you're newly married without children or already have one or more children (dogs included!) in your family, we know you'll find joy in seeing photos that capture the pure joy parents have for their little ones.
We've rounded up 5 of our favorite parents on Instagram below. Take a few minutes to embrace the simple beauty of these pictures and the love expressed in the sheer joy of being with family.
@mackfetner: "Wellon had his first mini-vacay in Big Bear this weekend + we actually got to wear sweaters and experience fall 🙌🏼 and then we drove home and my car thermometer said it was 88 outside 🙃 goodness gracious I love this kid"
If this mama and her baby (who's perfectly cozy and warm in a one of our baby blankets) aren't picture perfect, we don't know what is. Nothing beats togetherness.
@maxwell_dior: "find us here. baby potato and mama potato. when one goes down. it's a domino effect. there's only so much you can do for wee little babes.
5. Keep them cozy with @qalo "
@thepreggerspantry: "I have the best little stocking stuffer idea for your hubbies! My husband Adam wears a silicone wedding ring because he plays a lot of golf and volleyball and he's a coach and this ring doesn't get in the way. He never even has to take it off!"
We love that this family is spending some outdoor time together and just enjoying togetherness. And we must say how both his and her Silicone Rings serve as a wonderful complement to the entire scene.
@bornwildproject: "Every superhero needs a cape right?! Our QALO blanket has proven to be not only incredibly soft and warm, but it makes a pretty dang good cape too!"
Oh. My. Goodness. This is just too cute. And no, that's not a little dog wrapped up in our hand-made Sherpa blanket (although, by the comments, many thought so at first glance!). It's an adorable little boy who obviously gets a lot of love from his daddy.
@thedahlinllama: "Nash has been teething for what seems like forever ( since 3 months) but yet still no teeth in sight😳 We all know Nash is a major mammas boy but when his teeth are hurting him he is glued to me and wants to chew on anything and everything he can put his mouth on."
We'd love to see pictures of your beautiful family. Share your photos with us on social media using the hashtag #QALOfamily.

Q: Angular2 Dynamic component display I need some advice. I'm developing a dashboard in Angular2.
My project can have different types and I want to display a component relating to each of these types.
This is how I do for now:
<div *ngIf="project.types.type1">
   <app-type1></app-type1>
</div>
<div *ngIf="project.types.type2">
   <app-type2></app-type2>
</div>
<div *ngIf="project.types.type3">
   <app-type3></app-type3>
</div>

But I would like to know if it's possible to write it in a more elegant way that could look this:
   <div *ngFor="let key of project.types | keys">
       <template name="app-{{key}}></template>
    </div>

Thanks

A: This isn't the looping solution you were looking for but its still a slight improvement in elegance from how you are currently doing it (in my opinion)
<div [ngSwitch]="project.types">

  <app-type1 [*ngSwitchCase]="project.types.type1"></app-type-1>
  <app-type2 [*ngSwitchCase]="project.types.type2"></app-type-2>
  <app-type3 [*ngSwitchCase]="project.types.type3"></app-type-3>

</div>

One thing I love about freezer meals is that they are ready anytime. Obviously, the meals need to be cooked but the prep is all ready done. Freezer meals not only have helped me on crazy, busy days, but also come in handy when a friend has a baby, is recovering from surgery, or if there is last minute company.
I'm going start Tidbit Tuesday Posts. It will be a concise post with random relevant information.
Marinara sauce is the topic for today. Out of convenience, I have always bought jarred marinara sauce. I was even willing to spend a little more to get a better tasting sauce than the "generic" store brand.
Sort-of by chance, Greg stumbled upon a quick and easy marinara sauce that he has perfected. The kids and I were at volleyball games and when he arrived home from work, he started to make dinner. Then he realize there was no sauce in the pantry. With a quick search on the internet he found a recipe. It was delicious and quick. We have not bought jarred sauce since.
1. Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden around edges, 6 to 8 minutes. Move to edge of pan.
2. Add garlic and Italian seasoning and cook, stirring constantly, until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Move to the edge of pan.
3. Add red wine to deglaze pan. Stir constantly while wine is being added.
evaporated and tomatoes for 10 to 12 minutes.
5. Add basil and extra-virgin olive oil and salt, pepper, and sugar to taste.
This sauce is 100 times better than any sauce you can buy in the store! It is so quick that it will be done before your pasta is finished cooking!

Actor Eddie Hassell shot and killed in Texas carjacking
(TEXAS) — Hollywood is mourning the death of 30-year-old actor Eddie Hassell, who was shot over the weekend.
Variety reports that Hassell, who appeared in the 2010 movie The Kids Are All Right and the NBC series Surface, was the victim of an alleged carjacking attempt.
Representatives of the late actor say Hassell was shot in Texas on Sunday and are awaiting to release more information pending police investigation.
Born in July 1990, Hassell also made appearances in the movie 2012, the Steve Jobs biopic Jobs and the Showtime series Devious Maids — among others. He most recently appeared as a waiter in the 2017 movie Oh Lucy!
No further information, including funeral proceedings, are available at this time.

Venue: Newcastle Printmakers Workshop, 27 Popran Road Adamstown NSW.
Make your own fine art prints that you can take home & frame!
Use your prints to make cards!
The three & a half hour workshops will introduce students to a variety of monoprinting techniques.
Maximum class size of 10 students.
Includes all materials and quality printmaking paper.
Students need to bring: Enclosed shoes, a snack & drink, apron or paint shirt.
The three & a half hour workshops will introduce students to relief printing using a small press.
Create a stunning portfolio of vibrant colour etchings in this hands-on 2-day workshop. Solar Plate etching is a quick, simple and non-toxic alternative to the traditional etching process. Use the sun and water instead of acids and solvents to etch the plate with remarkable results. Through lectures, demonstrations and practical exercises, this course will guide participants through this printmaking process. Be inspired as you transform your existing drawings, paintings or photographs into imaginative fine art prints, which will be printed in a variety of colours on state of the art paper. It is predicted that students produce 8 – 12 prints on day 2 of the workshop.
Tarlatan and all printing needs and solvents.
Resource material such as transparencies with illustrations for creating collage on a plate as well as substantial class notes.
Small box of Disposable gloves from the supermarket.
A folder to take home damp prints.
At least 2 or 3 of your prepared BLACK AND WHITE images on clear transparencies (Officeworks – 60 cents each) Images can be a photograph, your own drawings, and images of inspiration. Avoid pale images. If you are unable to get this done, there will be lots of resource material available to work with on the day.
The humble lino is a great introduction to printmaking and also offers the more seasoned creative some challenges. Learn to competently cut, roll and print a lino block. Over the 5 weeks we will explore black and white designs as well as trying chine collé. We will focus on composition and making an image suitable for lino block printing.
The small group size and collaborative atmosphere make this an enjoyable class with many participants choosing to return course after course. For your first class bring along a pencil (2B is a good one), a pen, a drawing/ideas book, your favourite t-bag, mug and snack. Wear old clothes and covered shoes. It is estimated you will spend between $2 and $5 each week on materials, depending on the size and number of prints you make.
In this one day workshop using zinc plates and copper sulphate participants will learn how to prepare their plates, apply a hard ground and achieve tone using spray paint as an aquatint. By the end of the course everyone should have created a zinc plate with an image and have printed it intaglio ready for framing. Some materials will be provided. Suitable for beginners and those with some experience. Etching is a rich medium where an image is scratched, drawn or painted onto a metal plate and the image etched into the plate. A range of marks can be created and, after etching, ink is applied to the plate. A print is created by placing dampened paper onto the plate and passing both through a press.
NOTE: A further course is scheduled for Sunday 2nd June where participants will be able to extend their knowledge with multiple printing, chine collé, stencils and sugar lift.

Wall murals to tell the story of Killarney
FUNDING: Scenes like this could become commonplace in Killarney thanks to new funding. Mayor Brendan Cronin and Killarney Municipal District Officer Eileen OÕDonoghue are pictured at the St AnthonyÕs Place wall mural just off College St. Photo: Sean Moriarty
FUNDING: Scenes like this could become common place in Killarney thanks to new funding. Mayor Brendan Cronin and Killarney Municipal District Officer Eileen O'Donoghue are pictured at the St Anthony's Place wall mural just off College St. This mural was commissioned by Dan Linehan's Bar. Photo: Sean Moriarty
More murals are to be painted on the walls of the town centre thanks to Creative Ireland funding released to Kerry County Council. Killarney Municipal District wants to tell the story of the town by depicting famous people and landscapes on the town's blank gables.
Already some of the town's sporting heroes and Hollywood actors feature on a wall near the entrance to St Anthony's Place off College St while Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty is featured on a wall at the top of High St.
The funding will allow for at least one new mural at a yet to be determined location in the town.
"Murals have become an important part of creative placemaking particularly during COVID when many forms of creative engagement are restricted," District Officer Eileen O'Donoghue told the Killarney Advertiser. "Murals add colour, vibrancy and character to our urban environment. The current mural is being developed by the Arts office in conjunction with Killarney Municipal District. It will be traditional in its style, communicating Killarney's built and cultural heritage, and developing the Killarney story in the town. It is intended the mural will enhance our sense of place and inspire further creativity in the town."
On top of the Creative Ireland grant, details of a second bigger project are set to be announced in the coming weeks.
The Killarney Advertiser understands that up to €40,000 will be made available for the second project.
The two projects, as well as existing murals, could be combined into a walking tour of the town.
"It is hoped to identify further projects for 2021 which will again contribute to enhancing our urban environment," Ms O'Donoghue added.
The mural on the walls near the entrance to St Anthony's Place was commissioned and paid for by Dan Linehan's Bar on College St.

Continue all antacid medications such as Zantac, Pepcid, Tagamet, Axid, Prolosec, Prevacid, Protonix. Aciphex or Nexium. You should take all other regularly scheduled medications with water unless otherwise directed. Please notify your Physician if you are taking Coumadin.
For the Esophageal Motility Study, a catheter will be placed through your nose into your esophagus. Pressures will be measured in your esophagus for about 20 minutes. Depending on the indication for this procedure, and after discussing the situation with your physician, we may do additional studies in order to obtain more information from this test.
For the 48 hour pH study, a small catheter containing a probe about the size of a Tylenol gel cap will be placed through the nose. Using a small amount of suction, the probe will be attached to the inside of the esophagus. The catheter inserted through the nose will be removed. The probe will transmit information to a pager size receiver that is worn on the wrist for 48 hours. The receiver will be returned 48 hours later at the designated time. It is very important that the receiver be returned to the GI Lab promptly at the designated time. Several days after the study, the probe naturally detaches from the esophagus and passes through the digestive tract.
If you have any questions regarding these instructions, please feel free to call your physician or the Piedmont GI Lab at 404-605-3462. The results of this study will reach your physician's office in 7  10 days.

AMX-40 – francuski czołg podstawowy zaprojektowany przez przedsiębiorstwo GIAT na początku lat 80. XX wieku z przeznaczeniem głównie na eksport. Był wersją rozwojową swojego poprzednika – czołgu AMX-30 – znacznie ulepszoną pod względem opancerzenia, manewrowości i siły ognia. AMX-40 wyposażono w laserowy dalmierz, stabilizator działa oraz sprzęt noktowizyjny do prowadzenia walk w nocy.

Ciekawie rozwiązano problem amunicji: przedział amunicji, znajdujący się w wieży, jest otoczony specjalnymi przegrodami. W razie trafienia siła wybuchu amunicji skierowana jest w górę, co do pewnego stopnia chroni załogę wewnątrz. Armia francuska aż do pojawienia się Leclerca korzystała jednak głównie z czołgów AMX-30. Załogę AMX-40 stanowią cztery osoby, tak jak w wypadku większości współczesnych czołgów średnich i ciężkich – dowódca, kanonier, ładowniczy i kierowca.

Build! Build! Build! (and other real estate election pledges)
24 April 2015 #Real Estate
Last week saw the launch of five of the main UK political party manifestos. Rarely read in detail by the voting public these tomes are often used to set out headline grabbing promises in the hope that they may sway the floating voter.
As you might expect manifestos frequently deal with the major issues that (the polls suggest) matter to the electorate and one of these is housing or rather the lack of it.
Predictably, each of the main parties pledged to build thousands of new homes but what else are they promising to deliver in the real estate sector?
200,000 new starter homes and a further 275,000 affordable homes by 2020.
Right to buy will be expanded with an expected 1.3 million housing association tenants being given the chance to purchase their homes.
The regeneration of brownfield sites with a £1 billion fund.
On infrastructure they will deliver both HS2 and HS3 rail links.
An increase in the Inheritance Tax allowance so that the total allowance for a couple will be £1 million.
200,000 new homes by 2020.
An improvement in business rates for 1.5 million small businesses.
A devolution of funding and power to local authorities and city regions.
The creation of a National Infrastructure Commission.
The expansion of rail links.
Make 3 year residential lettings the norm in the private rented sector and ban residential letting agents from charging fees to the tenants each time they sign a tenancy agreement.
New schemes to "help to rent" and "rent to own".
A Housing Investment Bank to 'simplify the allocation of public funds' and improve access to the bond market and equity investment for social landlords.
Removal of the permitted development rights from office to residential.
Energy efficiency targets for buildings.
Priority given to town centre and brownfield developments.
Electrify the UK rail network on the major routes.
Ten new "Garden Cities" on the outskirts of the capital.
1,000,000 new homes on brownfield land by 2020.
A requirement for local authorities to ensure empty houses are used.
Removal of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) which was initially introduced by the current government with the aim of simplifying the complex planning procedures in the UK.
The merger of the building control and planning departments in local authorities.
Scrapping stamp duty land tax on the first £250,000 where new homes are built on brownfield sites.
500,000 new social rented homes by 2020.
As with UKIP the scrapping of the NPPF.
Carbon plans to be implemented within local authorities, including emissions reduction targets.
A ban on fracking works.
Planned investment in HS2 to be reallocated in favour of local transport networks.
VAT to be reduced on housing renovations and repairs.
It is therefore clear that all parties are keen to increase the number of homes in the UK to satisfy the growing demand.
It is also apparent that they feel not enough is being done to develop brownfield sites and that the planning process needs to be further simplified to make property development happen more quickly. The property industry would agree that these are areas that need to be looked at more closely.
It also seems that the requirement to improve the infrastructure in the UK is something that the parties have picked up on and it will also be interesting to see what is revealed in the next few weeks in relation to the greatly needed but divisive plans for expansion of Heathrow and/or Gatwick in London.
In any event, with this election expected to be one of the closest on record it is likely that, in due course, some of these pledges will be adjusted to factor in the wishes of a coalition partner.
We therefore need to wait to see what happens on 7th

Preliminary results of a Phase II study indicates that Axelar's AXL1717 is efficacious in 2nd line treatment of patients with lung cancer
by Jennifer Levin |
STOCKHOLM, April 2, 2013. Axelar AB, part of the Karolinska Development AB portfolio, announced today that preliminary interim results of its Phase II study AXL-003, indicates that AXL1717 is effective in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Thus, the company assesses that it has sufficient data to guide further development of the drug, and will finalize the study with fewer patients than initially planned.
Dr. Carl Harald Janson, CEO, Axelar AB
"We are delighted to see the impact of AXL1717 in this difficult to treat patient population. The encouraging trial data provides a platform for the further development of AXL1717. I look forward to finalizing this trial and preparing for the next step in development."
The study is a randomized open-label Phase II clinical study that compares AXL1717 with docetaxel, a well-established anti-cancer treatment, in patients with previously treated, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. The clinical study is conducted at 25 centers in five countries and has rate of progression free survival (PFS) after 12 weeks as the primary endpoint. Preliminary analysis suggests that AXL1717 has similar rate of PFS after 12 weeks as docetaxel. The most frequent serious adverse events in the study were cases with neutropenia, which occurred in both treatment regimes.
NSCLC is the most common form of lung cancer with 420,000 new patients diagnosed in the industrial countries every year. The 5-year survival rate for these patients is only 10-15%, resulting in an annual mortality of approximately 330,000 patients. Approximately 90-95% of NSCLC patients do not respond to the most common second line treatments*. AXL1717 has the potential to become a new treatment that could extend the lifespan and decrease the suffering for these non-responders. The data add to the positive results obtained with AXL1717 in its Phase I/II study, which was reported in October 2011.
Based on the interim data from AXL-003, Axelar has decided to finalize the trial with approximately 100 patients instead of the planned 140. As of today, 97 patients have been enrolled in the trial and these patients will continue to be treated and monitored according to the study protocol. More detailed data from the study, including secondary read-outs and safety, will be presented at a coming scientific meeting.
Dr. Torbjörn Bjerke, CEO, Karolinska Development AB
"This is an important milestone for Axelar and encouraging for lung cancer patients as there is a lack of effective and tolerable treatments for patients who relapse after second line therapy. Based on these interim results, we believe that AXL1717 has the potential to become an important part of future treatment options available to clinicians as well as a valuable asset for Karolinska Development."

TO THE EDITORS
About Axelar
Axelar AB is a Swedish biotech company founded in 2003. The company is developing insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) receptor inhibitors for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. Axelar is part of the Karolinska Development portfolio of companies. www.axelar.se
About AXL1717
Axelar's lead compound AXL1717 provides a novel potential treatment regimen for a wide range of cancers. AXL1717 is the first targeted oral small-molecule insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) receptor pathway inhibitor with no observable effect on the closely-related insulin receptor. Most tumor cells are dependent on the IGF-1 receptor signal pathway and the IGF-1 receptor is therefore regarded as a promising target for cancer therapy. To date, there are no IGF-1 receptor inhibitor drugs on the market. Axelar is currently conducting a randomized phase II clinical trial with AXL1717 in non-small cell lung cancer patients. A first-in-man phase I/II clinical trial with AXL1717 including 49 patients has been completed demonstrating a good tolerability profile of the compound, in addition to its superior preclinical efficacy against numerous tumors.

Yes, the president can declassify documents, there isn't a set protocol they are required to follow
[b]Can the president declassify documents? [/b]
U.S. Department of the Navy v. Egan
Executive Order 13526
Kel McClanahan, executive director of the National Security Counselors, a nonprofit public interest law firm
Richard Immerman, Edward J. Buthusiem Family Distinguished Faculty Fellow in History at Temple University
The New York Times, et al., v. Central Intelligence Agency
[b]This is true. The president can declassify documents while in office, there isn't a set protocol they are required to follow. [/b]
The U.S. classification system has three levels: top secret, secret and confidential.
"That is based on the level of damage that its release would cause to the national security of the United States," Kel McClanahan, executive director of the National Security Counselors, said. "When you classify a document, that means that only people with a security clearance equal to the classification or higher can read it."
A sitting U.S. president has wide-ranging authority to classify and declassify certain documents, but former presidents do not have authority over classification and declassification.
Current presidents can classify documents as long as they can "make a plausible argument that it is related to national security." On the other hand, the[b] president "doesn't have to give any reason for declassifying" information, according to McClanahan. "He can just say, 'I decide that this should be declassified,' and it's declassified," McClanahan said.[/b]
[b]A 2009 executive order directs the head of a government agency that originally deemed information classified to oversee its declassification, and sets some rules for that process. But those protocols outlined in the executive order don't apply to the president, McClanahan said.
However, presidents generally follow an informal protocol when declassifying documents, Richard Immerman, a historian and professor at Temple University, told VERIFY.
First, the president will consult all departments and agencies that have an interest in a classified document. Those departments or agencies then provide their assessment as to whether the document should stay classified for national security reasons. If there is a dispute among the agencies, they debate, but [b]the president ultimately makes the decision on declassification, Immerman explained.[/b]
When documents are declassified, they are reviewed line-by-line. In many cases, certain words, sentences and paragraphs remain redacted, even if the document is declassified, Immerman said.
[b]The Supreme Court determined in its 1988 decision on Department of the Navy v. Egan that the president's power over classified information comes from executive authority granted by Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, which says, in part, that the "President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States."[/b]
[b]"His authority to classify and control access to information bearing on national security and to determine whether an individual is sufficiently trustworthy to occupy a position in the Executive Branch that will give that person access to such information flows primarily from this constitutional investment of power in the President, and exists quite apart from any explicit congressional grant," the Supreme Court decision reads.[/b]
Though there aren't specific protocols that the president must follow to declassify a document, federal courts have ruled that they will "refuse to recognize what they consider to be an inference of declassification," McClanahan said.
[b]There are other federal laws in place that bar a president from taking government records, whether they are classified or declassified. Still, breaking those laws – or most other laws – doesn't automatically disqualify someone from becoming president, because of the simple presidential qualifications that are outlined in the U.S. Constitution. [/b]
If a document is declassified, that doesn't automatically mean it can be shared widely, either. For example, nuclear information – which is generally classified – is also protected by the federal Atomic Energy Act of 1954, McClanahan explained.
The Washington Post reported the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago for "nuclear documents," among other classified information.
"Because [nuclear information] has this dual protection, even if you declassify a nuclear document, you cannot disseminate it because it's still what's called Restricted Data," McClanahan said.
"So to the extent that he [Trump] had any nuclear information in there, declassification would not help him in the slightest, because he would still be disseminating restricted data or moving Restricted Data," he added.

Great post. People really do not understand Biden is a CRIMINAL, the VP has no authority at all to have those docs, nor a former VP, he should be raided and jailed IMMEDIATELY. But we know there are two sets of laws in this country and they will throw the book at President Trump though he is squeaky clean, "show me the man and I'll show you the crime," soviet-style justice department

@scrood And the Left will just yawn and wonder why it took so long. The right is the only party trying to protect civil rights for everyone rather than a specific special interest group.

doesn't he have to fill out a form, so others know these are now declassified, and can have access to them.
if you declassify them only in your imagination, what's the point? and how do you prove it?
trump had 11,000 pages. he declassified stuff (in his imagination) that he never read, apparently.
still, this doesn't seem to be much different than our senile 80 year old president forgetting he even took classified docs without permission, and leaving them around in about a dozen locations.

@SusanInFlorida That is the typically process.
First, the president will consult all departments and agencies that have an interest in a classified document. Those departments or agencies then provide their assessment as to whether the document should stay classified for national security reasons. If there is a dispute among the agencies, they debate, but the president ultimately makes the decision on declassification, Immerman explained.
But this is prescribe by the President as the Chief Executive. He does not have to follow his own guidelines they are for everyone else. Typically the President does, however, there are times when he may need to be able to declassify at a moments notice. The example given is when he may need to share information to a foreign leader he is talking to. Say Biden discuss military intelligence with Zelensky for instance. Or maybe a report on terrorist activity with the Prime Minister of Israel. That is why he is given the power via the constitution to unilaterally and summarily declassify a document just by his actions of discussing the information in an open manner.
@RuyLopez i wasn't aware this was actually in the constitution. possibly in some other laws. i can't imagine the founding fathers thought this far ahead. and I'm not an expert on amendments subsequent to the bill of rights, but I've never heard of any of them dealing with classified documents.
@SusanInFlorida The power to declassify is not specifically mentioned in the Constitution as I understand. The power has been interpreted by the Supreme Court to flow from those powers granted to the President as the Commander in Chief and Chief Executive Officer.
The Supreme Court determined in its 1988 decision on Department of the Navy v. Egan that[b] the president's power over classified information comes from executive authority granted by Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, which says, in part, that the "President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States."[/b]
"His authority to classify and control access to information bearing on national security and to determine whether an individual is sufficiently trustworthy to occupy a position in the Executive Branch that will give that person access to such information [b]flows primarily from this constitutional investment of power in the President, and exists quite apart from any explicit congressional grant," the Supreme Court decision reads.[/b]

Like I said, Democrats' DoJ has its work cut out for it exonerating Biden for taking classified documents with no authority to declassify and leaving them laying around all over the place for years, while prosecuting Trump for having secured documents, with the ability to declassify, for a few months. Going to be tough.

And if Trump had nuclear docs, it would have leaked by now.

Home Fitness What You Can Learn From 'Girls': Damage-Proof Your Self-Esteem
What You Can Learn From 'Girls': Damage-Proof Your Self-Esteem
If you've watched even one episode of HBO's new series, "Girls," chances are you've seen the following: awkward sex, at least one post-adolescent existential dilemma and the star Lena Dunham's belly rolls. The show's 26-year-old creator/writer/director/star is clearly comfortable exposing her curves for all of the premium-cable-subscribing world to see, but some of the viewing and reviewing public aren't quite ready for it.MORE: Boost Your Self EsteemA New York magazine feature called out her not-made-for-TV "pear-shaped" body and the frequency with which she "films herself nude, with her skin breaking out, her belly in folds, chin doubled." Blogs are, naturally, atwitter with commentary and analysis. The word "fleshy" abounds. And Vanity Fair deputy editor Bruce Handy wonders on his blog, "So is this the most transgressive thing a female artist can do in 2012: be fat, naked and unashamed on TV?"Whether or not Dunham's bare unabashedness is a pinnacle of feminist expression is up for debate. But it may be the breath of fresh air women need since we can't turn on the TV, open a magazine or go to the movies without being bombarded with beauty's equivalent of the One Percent—and watching our self-esteem take a nosedive when we fail to measure up.But seeing real women's bodies isn't the only way to feel good about our own figures. According to a study published last month in the journal Sex Roles, a supportive network of family and friends is the best defense against the self-esteem-damaging effects of the media."If a young woman is feeling this pressure from peers, the media and society as a whole to achieve a thin-and-beautiful ideal, that directly relates to body dissatisfaction," says the study's lead author, Shannon Snapp, Ph.D., a developmental psychologist at the Frances McClelland Institute for Children, Youth and Families in Tucson, A.Z. "But if you have a really supportive network, that buffers the impact the rest of society will have on that perceived idea of thinness."MORE: Dr. Oz's Tips for Boosting Your Self-EsteemDr. Snapp and her collaborators surveyed 301 women in their first year of college to investigate the "protective" effects of five factors that can influence body image.1. Loads of family support. Snapp found that young women who come from a supportive and nurturing home life don't take societal standards of beauty so much to heart. Feeling less pressure to look a certain way makes women feel better about the bodies they have."If a girl experiences open communication and quality time with family, including regular family meals, this builds a positive foundation, and she will be less likely to look to cultural standards of beauty as her standard for worth and value," explains the study's co-author, Laura Choate, an associate professor in the department of educational theory, policy and practice at Louisiana State University. "When she feels loved and fully accepted for who she is, she will feel less compelled to strive for the unrealistic thin-and-beautiful standard in order to feel okay about herself."Janet Roberts, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist who specializes in body image and parenting, adds: "Parents need to reinforce, by words and actions, behaviors that are related to those positive qualities they wish their children to develop. Likewise, parents can de-emphasize those cultural stereotypes that are so damaging to everyone who is less than 'perfect,' which includes all of us. This requires being mindful about not reinforcing those ideals. For example, a parent would not want to frequently say things like, 'You're so pretty!' instead emphasizing that their child has a beautiful heart, is kind, intelligent and strong."MORE: Six Bad Habits That Influence Your DaughterWhat's more, parents need to set positive examples. "It is important to remember that girls are watching us," Choate points out. "Although many parents, particularly mothers,"¨ are careful not to say anything critical to their daughters about their bodies, moms may not realize that their own frequent diets and complaints about their own bodies can be very damaging to their daughter's developing body image."2. Low levels of perceived societal pressure. Women who internalize the pressure to attain society's standards of beauty are most susceptible to body image issues and feeling dissatisfied with how they look."Media is one of the worst culprits," Snapp warns. "If you know that some particular shows are going to put these images out there and make you feel bad, stop watching them."3. Rejection of the superwoman ideal. The idea that we have to do it all—be successful career women, caring wives and nurturing mothers, who always look great—can make it seem like we're never good enough. The result? Our self-esteem can take a big hit.Women who are able to reject this superwoman ideal may be better at setting realistic expectations and not beating themselves up for not being perfect in every category, which helps preserve self-esteem.4. Positive physical self-concept. Research shows that exercising can have a strong positive effect on a woman's body image, but only if she works out with the goal of improving her health and fitness. Women who exercise to lose weight are actually more likely to be dissatisfied with the outcome.MORE: Workouts That Strengthen Your Body ImageSnapp thinks it's crucial to remember that fitness is about more than trying to drop a dress size. "A lot of people struggle with that," she notes. "They go in thinking 'I want to lose weight, lose weight, lose weight' rather than 'I want to be healthy.'" Adopting the right attitude can be especially tricky for young women who are still learning the hard way which foods and exercises work best for their bodies, but by focusing on more positive goals as a motivator to hit the gym, you can keep your self-esteem on the up and up.5. Smart coping strategies. Facing worries and negative feelings head-on can help stave off self-esteem issues, especially for young women dealing with major life transitions. On the flipside, women who avoid their problems rather than actively looking for healthy ways to deal are at a greater risk for body dissatisfaction and eating disorders.As for "Girls," Snapp has never seen the show, but she has browsed some of the catty chatter online: "I kept reading comments about the chubby character and looking at the pictures and thinking, 'That girl? That's who they think is the chubby character?' We need to not be so quick to call out that a person is chubby when they're more representative of what people look like. We're not good at showing regular women. It's not realistic and it's not healthy."Lena, keep up the good work.QUIZ: How Self-Confident Are You?

My Child Reverses Letters and Words. Does He See Backwards?
It has been presumed that children who reverse letters or words see them backwards. This is false. They have directional confusion. In the real world direction has no meaning. For example, a chair is a chair no matter which way it is placed. Changing direction does not change interpretation. In the world of language direction changes meaning. Connect the bottom of a chair and it looks like a "b". Turn it 180 degrees it becomes a "d", flip it upside down and it becomes a "q" and flip it again it becomes a "p". Thus, direction changes meaning. The difference between "was" and "saw" is direction.

Entrepreneurship saved my life – and I don't say that to be funny or make a joke. For me, it's the truth.
I had a pretty tough life. I grew up in poverty – in a family that was completely dependent upon welfare and state assistance.
From a very young age I always seemed to know that owning my own business would be my only way out. As a kid, I really couldn't tell you why I knew that – but as an adult it's become crystal clear.
What back surgery has reminded me about entrepreneurship. #2 Building trust in others is YOUR responsibility.

Hepatitis A virus investigation to establish epidemiological and molecular database for source tracing during foodborne outbreak
Tulle, A 2018, Hepatitis A virus investigation to establish epidemiological and molecular database for source tracing during foodborne outbreak, Masters by Research, Science, RMIT University.

Tulle, A
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is one of the potential hazards to public health. Although it is relatively harmless, it may cause high expenses for medical treatment and loss of productivity. Further concern is the ability of HAV in causing outbreaks which can affect large population. It is because HAV has various routes of transmission. The most common route of HAV transmission is by faecal-oral route. However, it can be transmitted through close person to person contact or contact with inanimate objects. The other transmissions are among men having sex with men (MSM), injecting drug use and via contaminated food and water which is less common. Although it is less common, foodborne transmission can spread the infection to a wider area. Foodborne transmission can lead into a global problem because many food products are exported around the world.
The best way to prevent an outbreak is rapid detection of the infection source. The most common method for identifying detect the source is doing epidemiology and trace-back investigation. However, it is difficult to use this method for food borne transmission because HAV has a long incubation period. Therefore, by the time the symptoms occur, the patients might not remember what they have eaten. Furthermore, the contaminated food might have been thrown away, so it would be impossible to isolate the virus from the suspected food. One of the effective tools to rapidly confirm the investigation is doing sequencing characterization. It is done by sequence the HAV and compares it with the available sequences from the previous cases.
The current research project genotyped HAV RNA by using protocols and primer sets designed by HAVNET. It collected and genotyped previous HAV-positive samples in VIDRL sample bank, and the results were used to establish epidemiological and molecular database of the HAV strains. The database was used to investigate the relationship between the current diagnostic samples and the previous HAV infection cases. It was expected to identify the source of the hepatitis A infection. The project was divided into part A and part B; part A retrospectively genotyped the HAV RNA positive samples collected from VIDRL sample bank, and part B prospectively genotyped current diagnostic samples and compared the result against the database.
One hundred and forty four samples were collected during part A with 130 samples were nested RT-PCR positive. These positive samples were sequenced, and the results showed 71 samples genotype IA, 37 IB and 22 IIIA. They were grouped into 24 clusters by the Geneious R7. The two largest clusters were the 2009 semi-dried tomato outbreak and the 2015 frozen berries outbreak, which consisted of 19 and 17 sequences respectively. Meanwhile, the other 22 clusters only have two to three sequences and consisted of cases which were geographically related, among family members and close contact and patients with travel history to HAV endemic countries.
In part B, there were 195 samples with 188 were positive in the nested RT-PCR assay. The comparison between the sequences and the database identified five samples received in 2017 showed 100% identity to the index case of the 2015 frozen berries outbreak. These findings led to a health alert issued by the DHHS along with a product recall of the frozen berries. It was suspected that the frozen berries came from the same plant and area and in the same time frame as the berries associated with the 2015 frozen berries outbreak. Another notable finding was the identification of HAV outbreaks related to HAV outbreaks associated to MSM group in Europe. A total of 66 samples were identified among Australian which consisted of three different clusters. Genetic analysis found that cases in Cluster 1 were related but not identical with the European case. Most cases had two nucleotide differences with the index case from Europe. Meanwhile, cases in Cluster 2 and 3 were identical with the Europe index case of each cluster. These findings also led to a health alert issued by the DHHS. Besides those two major clusters, there were several smaller clusters identified during part B. These clusters consisted of families and their close contact, and among patients with travel history to HAV endemic countries.
The project showed that molecular investigation has a critical role in investigating the source of HAV infection. It should be used to support the epidemiological approaches, especially during HAV outbreak investigation.

How to Channel your Inner Dominatrix?

Sure Revolver Rani is Hindi hinterland's ode to Tarantino's Kill Bill. But the dominating woman politician who has a Bollywood hero for a sex toy is a character that's both sexy and kooky at once.
Revolver Rani sees Ranaut dress in Alexander McQueen-inspired rocker jackets, with chains and military buttons on them, and harem salwars. But underneath she wears bras that belong in the most expensive BDSM boudoirs, with crystals on the cups and spikes on the shoulders. They are used for pastiche, sadly, for what they are trying to say is tautly ensconced in fashion trends and social anthropology.
"My clothes come from Italy. No one understands fashion here," Rani tells her spooked bed-warmer before jumping on him like a feline beast. Both Rani and Kangana speak here and they are right. But Ranaut's incredibly talented and under-profile stylist, Gavin Miguel, is at work here. Miguel, who is based in Bandra, Mumbai, is Ranaut's friend and partner in crime. Besides Revolver Rani and Krrish 3, he has styled her for events too.
The Dominatrix has been rocking the runways for the past few seasons, but mostly since Rooney Mara as The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Dolce&Gabbana are constantly inspired by the powerful and sexy woman who dresses the part. Donatella Versace presented a 'new punk' line called 'Vunk' or Versace's punk. Last year, Britney Spears' dominatrix outfit was deemed as the most iconic fashion moment at the
VMA awards.
Domme fashion has been presented by Gaurav Gupta's power shoulders, Amit Agarwal's metallic corsets and Shivan Narresh's slashed gowns. The edgy rocker vibe is said to be a petered down play of it too. Historian Anne O Nomis has averred the ancient goddess Inanna of Mesopotamia, the archetype of a powerful sexual female, who forced gods and men into submission, indulged in cross dressing too.
It did not take me long to realise that Ranaut is India's strongest fashion queen. Ever since she was photographed showing up at events in shorts she picked up from H&M matched with a waistcoat or a tie — when everyone else wore bodycon cocktail dresses — one could tell here's a
girl with an intense sense of projection.
Last year, I met her at the success party of Kai Po Che, where she showed up in a bra-front-revealing cocktail dress. She looked absolutely stylish and not the least vulgar, thanks to her petite frame but also her waif-like manners. She picked a comfortable corner of the restaurant instead of working the room and chatting with directors of the moment. She spoke only when spoken too, her dress did all the talking.
The most exciting bits of the supremely dull Krrish 3 were when she showed up on screen, in her next-level catsuits and snaking ponytails.
On Anupama Chopra's very popular film review and chat show, The Front Row, Ranaut's episode was singularly the most watched (judging by YouTube hits). In the show, Ranaut elaborates wonderfully why she loves fashion and how she uses it to her advantage. "I don't come from a film family. I didn't have a godfather," she says. "But I felt I deserved to be here and I needed to look like I deserved to be here." In that one statement, she nods at the lure of the movies as well as the strength of fashion.
It's a pity she isn't a fashion magazine's favourite cover girl (she's fronted Vogue just once). Fashion editors have been short-sighted in placing popular actresses on their covers — Kareena, Katrina, Deepika, Sonam and Anuskha regurgitated at a three-to-five-month cycle. When they want to experiment, they turn to Kalki Koechlin. Ranaut, for all her originality, has slipped beneath their radar. But with two major movies declaring her the Queen of Bollywood, Kangana Ranaut can ask for the moon.

Public Administration Program Overview
Public administration is the study of implementing government policies, as per the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration (NASPAA). A Master of Public Administration (MPA) is a graduate degree in the field, or government degree. MPA degree programs are accredited by the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration. According to NASPAA's annual data report, most students complete their MPA program in two to four years. NASPAA accreditation standards stipulate that accredited MPA programs should foster competency in five domains:

Master's in Public Administration vs. Public Health Curriculum
