Powerful Harmony is an Ultimate Story spinoff. It takes place during the events of Ultimate Story 4.
The story involves the main characters from Avatar: the Last Airbender, Katara, Toph, Zuko, Aang, Sokka and Suki, being brought into the realm consisting of events from the Clone Wars series. This also marks the first appearance of critically important characters for the Ultimate Story, Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-wan Kenobi and Padme Amidala.
This is one of Fanfictiondreamer's favorite fanfics that she has ever written and one that she is very proud of.
The story started with Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-wan Kenobi on Christophsis fighting the Heartless. Their weapons and powers were useless against them and the Jedi were on their last legs. Just then, Fox and his friends entered their realm and fought off the Heartless in ways that the Jedi never thought was possible. Despite them being able to fight off the threat, they were outnumbered. Things got worse when massive Heartless arrived. The 4 captains stood very little chance against the overwhelming threat but had to continue fighting until the Benders finish up the their mission.
Eventually, the 6 fighters from the Benders' world were summoned and they got to fighting the Heartless immediately. All 4 of the Benders astonished the Jedi with their abilities to control and wield each of the 4 elements, but even they weren't going to fight off the threat by themselves. Soon enough, the 3 Jedi stepped up and utilized their abilities to help out the Benders. From there, the 2 different groups worked together to fight off the threat.
After they finished off all of the Heartless, the Benders and their superiors had a chance to inform the Jedi of what was happening. From hearing everything that they told them, they agreed that they had to put their trust towards their new allies.
They arrived on Coruscant where they met Padme for the first time. Shortly afterwards, Fox and his friends had to depart from the realm, leaving the fate of the Jedi's world in the hands of the Benders. And that's what began that story.
Shortly after the captains departed, both group got the chance to know each other. They chatted about themselves and what their world provided. The Jedi and Padme had the chance to learn about the terrible 100 year war that took place within the Benders' world, to which they could sympathize with the kids of that world and also felt sorry for the horrible conflict that they had to endure throughout most of their lives. A little afterwards, they received a call from the Clone troopers of the strange creatures, the Heartless, attacking civilians within a nearby area, to which the Jedi left with Padme and the kids of the Benders' world to deal with.
They arrived at the scene, where the Benders and Sokka and Suki demonstrated to their new friends that they were able to fight off against the Heartless, with the Benders displaying their Bending abilities, much to the surprise of Padme and the Clone troopers. However, the Jedi and soon enough, the Clone troopers, realized that their new friends could not fend off the threat by themselves, so they jumped in to help them out. From there, they found that they stood a much better chance against the Heartless than before.
Later on after the fight, the Jedi Council arrived and offered to return them group with them to the Jedi Temple, where they had the chance to get to know the kids of the Benders' world. The kids met with Jar Jar for the first time and had the chance to chat with the Council individually. After the kids were assessed by the Council, Ahsoka, Anakin, Obi-wan and Padme decided that they would fight alongside the Benders no matter the circumstances before them, thus making them the new members of Team Avatar, with Anakin not being too crazy about the team name.
Soon enough, the Jedi Council announced that they would bring forth their full trust to the Bender kids since they were the only ones who stand a chance against the Heartless threat and placed their new friends in charge of looking after them.
The next thing they did with the kids was educate them about much that is part of their world, starting with what's on Coruscant. They introduced them to the Senate of the Republic, meeting fellow Senators Bail Organa, Onaconda Farr, Riyo Chuchi and eventually, Chancellor Palpatine. Toph, however, received a very uneasy feeling about him when she stood near him, something that she didn't like.
They learned much about droids, such as Sokka not being able to handle them, but Suki could, they even had a chance to chat about the different things that are contained within the Benders' world, with the kids feeling very much like a fish out of water within the Jedi's world.
The next thing they had a chance to learn about was the Jedi Order. Also, they found out a lot about the Jedi and their unique powers as well as the mysterious energy around them known as the Force. The Force is what gives the Jedi their unique abilities and they are able to sense out a lot that occurs throughout the entire galaxy, such as the Heartless appear within their dimension as well as the Benders' arrival.
Soon enough, the Benders went on to telling about the unique cultures of their world, such as the customs of their different nations as well as the sources of their powers and the first teachers of their Bending abilities. They also had the chance to introduce a special friend; one that they had lost during the terrible war: Princess Yue, who is now the new spirit of the moon within the Benders' world.
The Jedi eventually went on to show the Benders the unique lifestyle they have of living in space. However, before they had the chance to learn much, they were bombarded by Separatist cruisers which forced them to land in one of them. The Benders got the first taste of the Sith's power when they came face to face with the Jedi's enemies and the leaders of the Separatists, Asajj Ventress, General Grievous and, of course, Count Dooku. All 3 adversaries were shown to be very strong, but they were caught off guard by each of the kids' unique abilities which not only included the Benders and their unique influences over the different elements, but Sokka and Suki's warrior prowess (more so Suki than Sokka). However, after the group was able to escape the Separatist frigate, Dooku met with a mysterious new ally who is willing to help him against his new adversaries.
As the story continued on, the Jedi found out more things about the Benders' world. The Benders showed off their powers and skills to the Jedi Council for the first time, to which they were very impressed. Suki was also able to set up her own lab where she intended to do some studying as well as build some gadgets and other things to help out with the mission. Katara found out about Anakin and Padme's secret marriage and agreed to keep their secret to herself. From there, her friendship with Anakin grew and she was able to develop a special bond with Padme. Toph, Zuko and Aang bonded with Obi-wan even more. Katara showed off her special healing power to the Jedi for the first time. From there, Obi-wan had her introduced to a few members of the Jedi Order that were also acquainted with the special ability of healing with the use of the Force. Suki did manage to build some very useful gadgets for the group as well as a few to help her and her friends feel more at home within the Jedi's dimension.
At one point in the story, the Chancellor of the Republic, Palpatine, made an announcement that he would like the Bender kids to become Commanders of the Clone army. The kids were immediately appalled with the idea as they came to their realm to fight off the Heartless. However, when they came across Count Dooku again, they made the shocking discovery that he has become a Heartless Commando, something the Benders were hoping they wouldn't have to deal with.
The Bender kids then revealed that the reason why they never told their new friends about a person becoming a Heartless Commando because there were a number of terrible incidences that come with it, such as the Heartless becoming stronger from the Darkness within the hearts of the commandos. Even worse, the commandos, themselves, could become Heartless and incredibly powerful ones, much like the ones that they faced off against on Christophsis. The Jedi, understanding that the conflict has become worse than the Benders hoped it wouldn't, renewed their vows to stand by the kids and continue to fight along side them.
They reported the incident to the Jedi Council then announced that they will concede to becoming Commanders of the Clone Wars. The Council became suspicious with the timing of these different sequence of events, believing that there could have been more to them than just a mere coincidence.
After the Benders have announced that they will accept the chancellor's offer to become Commanders in the Clone Wars, they were brought to Kamino to meet and pick out their Clone subordinates, which is something that they did not want to do. After arriving on Kamino, they were unsurprisingly disgusted with the cloning procedure but chose to hold back much of their grievances about it. There, Katara, Sokka, Zuko and Toph had a chance to pick out their Clone Troopers. However, before they did, Katara gave out a stirring speech, stating that she didn't want the Clones to think of themselves as their subordinates, but rather, their comrades.
Katara found 2 who seemed moved by her speech, Valiance and Benet.
Sokka picked out 3 troopers at random, thinking that all troopers are pretty much the same. He named them Sparky, Crazy Eights and Fides. However, the 3 Clone Troopers that he picked out couldn't be more different from each other, which made Sokka look like an idiot...again.
Zuko was more reasonable with his choices, asking those who are proud fighters to step forward, to which 4 did. They're named Pyro, Steadfast, Broadsword and Blade then gave out a speech in which he asks them to fight with honor and how much it means to him.
Toph, however, asks for troopers who are tough as nails. From that, 5 stepped up. Their names are Rocky, Mallet, Brute, Mangle and Gusto.
Aang and Suki picked out their troopers later on, but a little before then, another Clone Trooper stepped up and asked to join the group. He went by the name of Jet, a name that took the kids by surprise.
The Captains returned to the Jedi's dimension for a status report of the Benders' progress within the dimension. They had a chance to check out Suki's new lab and they chatted with Anakin and Obi-wan of the situation so far. Upon hearing that the Benders were forced into becoming Commanders for the Clone Wars, they became greatly concerned over the situation getting worse. They discussed the challenges that they will face as Anakin and Obi-wan promised that they would continue looking after the Bender kids. The Captains made one final check up on Suki before leaving to take care of other matters.
Obi-wan met with the Benders again and asked them to return to the Jedi Temple with him to discuss some concerns with them. He mentioned to them about meeting with and conversing with the Captains, much to Toph's frustration because she wanted to see them again, especially Fox. However, he did remind them that they are very busy and perhaps they will meet up with them some other time.
While meeting with the Jedi Council, they discussed with Toph about what she felt when the kids first met the Chancellor. When she told Obi-wan about it, she made him promise to not say anything about it to anyone because she was worried that it would offend members of the Republic, but then became relieved when the Jedi Council told her that they were not offended, but rather, they have also been suspicious of the Chancellor. After they discussed with Katara about why she reacted the way she did when she met the Clone Trooper who went by the name Jet, the Council discussed their suspicions the Chancellor with all 4 of the Benders while also expressing their appreciation for them being in their dimension, with the hope that they will save their galaxy from the Dark influence that it is under other than the Heartless threat.
At one point in the story, Suki was asked by Obi-wan to build a special hearing aid for Toph so that she would be able to sense out her surroundings with the use of echolocation. Suki was able to get on that and finished it around the same time that she was working on a special project with one of the badly damaged Republic Cruisers. When Suki finished with the earpiece, she met with Toph, Anakin and Obi-wan to test it out. When Toph placed it on her ear and turned it on, she was able to sense out everything around her as Obi-wan lifted her off of the ground with the use of his Force powers. She then went on to test out her Metalbending to which she did by slamming a loose metal slab towards Anakin and knocking him on the wall, much to his annoyance. Toph seemed thrilled that she is able to use her Earthbending with the help of echolocation but took even more pleasure in messing with Anakin, also much to his annoyance.
Toph also overheard Katara having a private conversation with Anakin and Padme and found out about their secret marriage this way. However, Toph promised to keep her mouth shut about it in exchange for having them give her as many milkshakes as she wants, to which she had developed a liking to since she first arrived in that world. Despite the bribery and all of the times that she likes to mess with her friends, she had demonstrated how much she cares about her friends. She even talked about Obi-wan and praised him a lot as she had developed a close bond with him. Regardless, she remained quiet about Anakin and Padme's secret marriage even if she was held back from milkshakes.
One day, Aang was talking to Ahsoka about his days living as a free spirited Air Nomad. He told her that he enjoyed those days, but when the monks of his temple revealed to him that he was the Avatar, everything changed, including his whole world figuratively and literally. To help cheer him up, she asked him if he would like to demonstrate what it was like to live as a free spirited Air Nomad. He did that by summoning Appa and took her for a ride on him.
As they were flying through the skies of Coruscant, Ahsoka became amazed by the view. Aang did everything he could to try and avoid flying into anyone. There were a few mishaps here and there along the way, but they didn't cause anything too serious. Aang even offered to teach Ahsoka how to fly Appa, which she was more than thrilled about doing. It was a little tough at first, but she managed to learn how to fly him with ease. She even had the chance to show off the others, including Anakin, Padma and Katara, who were spending some time with each other. Eventually, Obi-wan was able to learn how to fly Appa, which wasn't really so hard for him. Soon enough, all 3 Jedi know how to fly Appa.
Both Avatar: the Last Airbender and the Clone Wars series contain an episode titled "The Deserter".
Ahsoka Tano is younger than all 3 of the boys of the Benders' world, Zuko, Sokka and Aang. Even though Aang appears to be younger than her, he is actually older due to him being frozen in an iceberg for 100 years. The only member of the Bender kids that she is older than is Toph, being that Toph is 12 years old.
Greg Baldwin, who took over the role of Iroh after the late Mako, also provided several roles in the Clone Wars series, including one character from the episode "Bounty Hunters"
George Takei, very famous for his role as Sulu from the original Star Trek series, provided the voice of General Lok Durd in the Clone Wars series and a very mean Fire Nation warden in the Avatar episode "Imprisoned"

For over a year now, the capital has been subject to a rent-control regime that affects both furnished and unfurnished rentals. With a 'reference rate' used as the basis on which rent is fixed, everything rides on the number of rooms in the property being rented, the building's address, and its year of construction. Continue reading Furnished rentals: how do you calculate rent in Paris?
Real estate deals: who pays what?
Real estate transactions always come with associated fees. Some payable by the vendor, others by the purchaser, some are split between the two. Here's a reminder of the rules. Continue reading Real estate deals: who pays what?
The particularly high level of the London and Paris real estate markets makes them unique in Europe.
The luxury real estate market is on good form throughout France, as well as in Paris. Less properties are for sale and prices are once again on the rise.
Brexit, industrial action, and terrorist attacks notwithstanding, the luxury real estate market is buoyant throughout France, notably in Paris: such is the conclusion recently drawn by the industry's leading lights.
The almost permanent fall in interest rates and the relative stability of the Paris market have, for a number of months now, boosted demand for luxury real estate.
More than foreign purchasers, it is the French that are on the move. For the most part, they are buying their principal residence. As always, non-resident buyers (many are Europeans) cannot get enough of pied-à-terre properties and investments in Haussmannian builds.
The result of this uptick in the market? The time it takes for a property to sell is getting shorter and shorter. At Sotheby's International Realty, the average sale time has reduced by half in just a year. And rare, exceptional properties with high price tags can be snapped up in just two weeks.
In the same time period, the backlog of properties available for purchase has disappeared like snow melting in the sun. According to Féau, at the end of this September the value of property on the market was less than €3 billion, compared to €5.3 billion in February 2014.
This new imbalance between offer and demand has begun to bump up prices, notably in the capital's more expensive residential neighbourhoods. This trend is affecting family-size apartments (5 rooms, 120m2) as well as the ultra-luxe segment of the market.
The market's verve is confirmed by the latest figures issued by the Chambre des Notaires Paris Ile-de-France which show a rise in sales around the €20,000/m2 mark, notably in the 6th arrondissement. And that's not all. In the second quarter 2016, two record sales punched through the €30,000/m2 mark.
4Keeping a property empty for several years does not always turn out to be the best decision. Deterioration and tax can make it expensive for the owner.
Some owners decide to leave their apartments empty rather than renting them. Staying out of the rental market is an extreme strategy. No problems with the complexities of rent regulation in Paris and no constraints caused by the new requirements under the ALUR legislation (standard lease, diagnosis). And of course, no hassle related to managing the tenancy (vacant property, rent reviews, repairs, unpaid rent). Continue reading Vacant property: what about putting it on the rental market?

Carriera

Giocatore
Paleari debutta in giovane età nell'Alberto da Giussano, piccola formazione di Legnano, e di lì si trasferisce in Serie D alla Juve Domo. 5 presenze gli sono sufficienti per essere ingaggiato in Serie B dal Novara. Con i piemontesi non scende mai in campo e va a farsi le ossa prima al Conegliano e poi all'Udinese, allora impegnata nel campionato di Serie C.

Nel 1977 nella semifinale di Coppa Italia di Serie C tra Udinese e Novara (coppa poi vinta dall'Udinese) dagli undici metri segna il decisivo 3-2 per i friulani.

Passa quindi in prestito al Campobasso prima di fare ritorno ancora all'Udinese dove nelle prime partite è ancora titolare. Si infortuna nella partita contro il Brescia, perde il posto a favore di Fausto Borin ed Ernesto Galli e torna ancora a Campobasso dove si ripete ai livelli dell'anno precedente tanto che nel 1980 viene chiamato a difendere i pali dell'Verona in Serie B. Qui gli viene spesso preferito il più esperto Paolo Conti raccogliendo 8 presenze in campionato.

La Cavese neopromossa in Serie B decide allora di chiedere in prestito il giovane Paleari al Verona in cambio di Vanoli. Titolare la prima stagione con mister Pietro Santin (il suo vice Antonio Pigino non ebbe il minimo spazio), nella stagione successiva la Cavese lotta fino alla fine per la Serie A e si colloca a pochi punti dalla zona promozione alle spalle di  e . In quella stagione Paleari diventa celebre per la sua fama di para-rigori: alla Cavese vengono assegnati 9 rigori contro e Paleari ne riesce a neutralizzare 5.

La stagione successiva passa al  dove è titolare fra i pali per tre stagioni, due in Serie B intervallate da un anno in Serie C1.

Dopo il fallimento dei rosanero, dal 1986 al 1988 è, sempre fra i cadetti, al Messina di Scoglio e Salvatore Schillaci, prima di approdare al . Quella in Emilia (stagione 1988-1989) è l'ultima esperienza in Serie B di una carriera che si conclude con le maglie di  e .

In carriera ha totalizzato complessivamente 216 presenze in Serie B.

Allenatore
Cessata l'attività agonistica (con una breve parentesi al  dal 1997 al 1999) collabora con il  come allenatore dei portieri, allenando tra gli altri Fabrizio Lorieri, Vincenzo Sicignano, Marco Amelia, Antonio Chimenti e Francesco Benussi. Il 23 gennaio 2006 in seguito all'esonero di Silvio Baldini e fino al termine della stagione diventa allenatore del  in tandem con Roberto Rizzo, ancora sprovvisto di patentino per allenare in Serie A. Il 3 luglio 2009 lascia definitivamente la società.

Il 7 luglio 2009 diventa allenatore dei portieri del .

Il 7 agosto 2012 diventa allenatore dei portieri del Palermo, sotto la guida di Giuseppe Sannino, Gian Piero Gasperini e Alberto Malesani. Il 19 giugno 2013 viene confermato nello staff tecnico della squadra, affidata stavolta a Gennaro Gattuso, restando nei ranghi societari anche dopo l'esonero dell'ex Campione del mondo in favore di Giuseppe Iachini.

Il 12 giugno 2015 il club rosanero comunica che, a partire dal 1º luglio seguente, Paleari sarà sostituito da Vincenzo Sicignano.

Tre giorni dopo il Trapani annuncia che Paleari sarà il preparatore dei portieri del club allenato da Serse Cosmi per la stagione 2015-2016, collaborazione conclusa nel 2018.

Il 15 dicembre 2021 viene nominato vice tecnico di Paolo Negro al , in Serie C. Viene esonerato dopo due settimane insieme a Negro.

Center for Gait & Movement Analysis Research
Orthopedics | February 24, 2016
At the Center for Gait and Movement Analysis (CGMA) within the Orthopedics Institute, research is an important part of our ability to analyze a patient's movement and muscle activity while walking.
As part of our gait and movement research, our physician-scientists study things like:
The role of genetics in complex musculoskeletal disorders, such as cerebral palsy
Physical therapy interventions
Surgical procedures and techniques
Hip conditions and disease
Discoveries from these research studies are then translated into improved tests and treatments, providing new therapies to our patients with gait and movement conditions. Learn more about the Center for Gait and Movement Analysis.
A team of experts researching human movement
At the CGMA, our multidisciplinary team of researchers includes physicians, physical therapists, kinesiologists and engineers. This team works together to study pediatric orthopedics and gait related to musculoskeletal (bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves) and neuromuscular (nerves and muscles) disorders.
Currently, researchers are looking at the gait patterns and health profiles of former cerebral palsy patients of CGMA. The Cerebral Palsy Adult Transition Longitudinal Study (CPAT) is the first study to evaluate patients who have moved from pediatric to adult care and how aging has affected them.
Additionally, the state-of-the-art facilities at the CGMA allow the team to capture the most accurate measurements of human movement and muscle activity. Such accuracy is essential to our research, which has been highlighted in national publications and meetings including:
Pediatric Orthopedic Society of North America
Scoliosis Research Society
Gait and Clinical Movement Analysis Society
American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine
Joining forces at Children's Hospital Colorado
The Musculoskeletal Research Center (MRC) at Children's Colorado was founded in 2006 for the research of medical and surgical interventions for patients with musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders. Collaboration between the CGMA, MRC, Orthopedics Institute and Rehabilitation Program allows expanded access to an array of research interests and patient conditions.
Armed with new answers to the walking and movement issues our patients face, we at the CMA are constantly adapting our testing and therapies to deliver the best care, based on our own research and that of the medical and scientific community.

Home/Business/Man behind Hunter Biden's laptop sues media — Analysis
Man behind Hunter Biden's laptop sues media — Analysis
Editor May 4, 2022
Computer repairman sues CNN, congressman, others for falsely claiming data trove that he exposed was 'Russian disinformation'
The Delaware computer technician who exposed data from a laptop left at his shop by President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, has sued US Representative Adam Schiff (D-California) and three media outlets for defaming him by suggesting that he was an agent of a Russian disinformation campaign.
John Paul Mac Isaac's lawsuit against Schiff, CNN, Politico, and the Daily Beast was filed on Tuesday at Montgomery County Circuit Court in Rockville, Maryland, seeking at least $1 million in actual damages and far more in punitive damages. Mac Isaac claimed that his reputation and business was destroyed by the portrayal of him as a criminal who conspired with Russia to influence the 2020 Presidential election.
The filing was first reported by the New York Post, which also broke the story on alleged influence-peddling by the Biden family in October 2020 – just three weeks before the election – based on emails from Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop. "After fighting to reveal the truth, all I want now is for the rest of the country to know that there was a collective and orchestrated effort by social and mainstream media to block a real story with real consequences for the nation,"Mac Isaac spoke to the Post Tuesday.
The infamous laptop became Mac Isaac's property after Hunter Biden dropped it off at his shop for repairs in April 2019 and never came back. According to reports, the repairman gave the FBI a copy the hard drive in December 2019. Rudy Giuliani (a Trump lawyer) also received the data and provided it to the Post.
This scoop was discredited or censored by the major media outlets and social media. Ex-intelligence officers from America suggested the datatrove could be Russian disinformation. Joe Biden made this false claim while running for president.
"This was collusion led by 51 former pillars in the intelligence community and backed by words and actions of a politically motivated DOJ and FBI," Mac Isaac said.
The lawsuit must reveal collusion. And, more importantly who was given the marching order.
Mac Isaac claimed Schiff, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee defamed his character in a CNN interview. "the whole smear on Joe Biden comes from the Kremlin."He said CNN had knowingly published a false story linking Russia's laptop with it. Similar allegations were made about Politico's and Daily Beast reports.
The laptop scandal was confirmed by legacy media outlets months after Biden became president. Ironically, last September, Politico reported that an independent verification of the authenticity key laptop emails had been made by the reporter for the publication. This contradicts earlier reports from his newspaper. Earlier this year, the New York Times and the Washington Post confirmed the Hunter Biden emails' authenticity.
Mac Isaac stated that he had been falsely accused of Russian spying and was forced by his employer to close down and hide in Colorado. After people started throwing vegetables, eggs and dog excrement at him, he closed his repair shop. He received hate mail, death threats, and even threats to his life.
The 45-year-old Mac Isaac sued Twitter last year for allegedly defaming him as a criminal hacker by censoring the Post's laptop scoop on the false claim that it was based on hacked materials. A judge dismissed that suit last September because Twitter never identified Mac Isaac, and the technician was ordered to pay the social media platform's legal fees, amounting to about $175,000.
Mac Isaac's latest legal action is being funded by the America Project, a group led by businessman Patrick Byrne, retired Army General Michael Flynn, and Flynn's brother, Joseph Flynn. "My team is happy to provide the financial resources to allow John Paul Mac Isaac to seek true justice,"Joseph Flynn.
Biden helped son of Chinese businessman – media
He stated that he hopes to reveal the origins of attempts to destroy the laptop story. "The fight to get to the bottom of who told everyone this was Russian disinformation is far more important for the nation than me clearing my name," Mac Isaac said.

After a 10 day marathon of world cinema, the Montreal World Film Festival concluded this evening with its gala Awards Ceremony and a screening of the French/Swiss/Belgian film Home, starring Isabelle Huppert. While French-language films are de rigeur in this French speaking city, the Festival's highest honor went to a Japanese film. The Grand Prix des Ameriques, announced from the stage of the Theater Maisonneuve by Jury President (and Oscar nominated American director) Mark Rydell, was awarde...


Rachael Cabanting and her husband, Steven, are self-professed "Disney nerds"—so much so, in fact, that when the time came to plan their wedding, Orlando was a no-brainer destination.
The couple loved the Disney/Pixar movie Up for its sweet message about growing old with your true love and the whimsical journey launched using thousands of balloons. So they decided to base their wedding-day theme on the movie. The result: rainbow balloon boutonnières, old-timey bottle caps strewn around the tables, and a bouquet made from candy-colored vintage jewelry. And guess who showed up for the first dance? One of the world's most famous couples, Mickey and Minnie, of course.
In a place where on any given day you're likely to spy couples at the Magic Kingdom wearing mouse ears with a veil or top hat attached, a fantasy wedding here is par for the course. Local wedding photographer Nicole Faust says she's shot several unique weddings over the years.
"I think Orlando is a place that facilitates the idea of having a specific theme for your wedding ceremony and reception. It's acceptable and almost encouraged," she says.
And with cosplay (costume play) going mainstream and the popularity of Disney, LEGO, Marvel, Star Wars and Harry Potter, Orlando is the ideal destination for the character wedding of one's dreams. Here, couples can live out their unabashed fandom in and around Central Florida's theme parks and attractions.
Many women, once little girls who dressed up like characters Belle or Cinderella, can have their own princess experience with a Disney wedding. To complete the transformation into a princess bride, wedding dress company Alfred Angelo makes official Disney wedding gowns based on popular Disney princesses, such as Elsa from Frozen. The flowing pale blue gown is bedazzled with a crystal bodice and a diaphanous cape.
Even if a couple isn't willing to go the whole nine yards and walk down the aisle as Princess Leia and Han Solo, Marini says it's still possible to introduce small elements of a theme into a more traditional wedding. And those couples who do choose a full-on big day fantasy experience will come away with some pretty awesome photos from an "only-in-Orlando" wedding.

WWE News: Paige Makes Huge Announcement On 'Raw' About Her Future In Wrestling
Matt Couden
On the latest episode of WWE Raw, there were plenty of surprises in store for fans, including an announcement fans may have expected from Paige months ago. The former WWE Divas Champion was injured during a house show match when she took a bad bump from Sasha Banks. After that incident, Paige no longer competed, but simply accompanied her Absolution teammates, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville, to the ring for their matches. Even though she wasn't being featured in the ring in any capacity, fans were still holding out some hope she might be cleared for a return due to there being no official announcement.
According to Wrestlezone, on Monday's Raw from New Orleans, Paige finally cleared up what her future will be, by getting on the microphone after a victory by Absolution's Mandy Rose. Unfortunately for fans, Paige's future won't be competing in the wrestling ring, as she officially told everyone she could no longer participate as an in-ring performer. It had been something many fans had suspected, but due to the fact there is a movie being released about her transition to professional wrestling, it seemed Paige stayed with the company to help with the promotional efforts. Paige would deliver an emotional speech regarding her career, thanking the fans, among others, who have inspired her.

During her speech, Paige spoke about this being her dream and that it was tough to say this. She talked about all the support she's had and thanked Daniel Bryan for giving her hope. She also thanked WWE for letting her do this and entertain the fans for the past four years. Paige said now she'll have to find something else to do that she loves.
She reminded everyone that she won the WWE Divas Championship four years ago in New Orleans, and now she wants to retire in the same spot. "This will always be my house," Paige said, before removing her t-shirt to place in the center of the ring. From there she left the ring and slapped hands with some fans before heading backstage.

Following the speech, many of Paige's colleagues from around the wrestling world were supportive of her on Twitter. That included Taynara Conti, Peyton Royce, Billie Kay, Tamina Snuka, Lana, Kayla Braxton, Becky Lynch, and more. A photo also surfaced of Paige with one of her good friends from Total Divas and professional wrestling, Natalya. The former WWE SmackDown Women's Champion also tweeted a special message to Paige.
"Thank you @RealPaigeWWE for being one of my all time favorite opponents I've ever worked with in the ring. I'm so proud of you for being so strong but I'm also so excited for so many incredible opportunities coming your way. You're a star and you were born to shine! I (heart emoji) you!"
It's sad news for the professional wrestling world, but it seems like an announcement a lot of fans knew was coming. However, Paige did provide that one bit of hope that fans know is possible, as they saw Daniel Bryan return to the ring last night at WrestleMania 34 after it seemed like he was done with wrestling. That still gives hope for Paige and her fans that she'll one day return to doing what she loves.

Mutual funds benefit investors with limited knowledge, limited time, as well as those who like to invest their money wisely. This article will help you decide if mutual funds are indeed the best investment option for you.
Investing in mutual funds is the talk of the town. Every individual wants to know, understand, and start investing in mutual funds. It is being considered as the best investment option because it's simple and suits individuals of every age. Mutual funds benefit investors with limited knowledge, limited time, as well as those who like to invest their money wisely.
However, there are certain areas of this investment that are perplexing and not clear. This article will advise you on how mutual funds can help you prepare for your future.
Among reasons that make mutual funds favorable are the simplicity of investing, cost-effectiveness, diversification of funds, and professional management. These benefits contribute to mutual funds and make it the best choice of investment for the do-it-yourself investors as well as professional money managers.
Investing in mutual funds can be a logical move for almost any kind of investor. From beginners to professional money managers, and every experienced degree of investors in between can take advantage of the features and benefits of mutual funds and apply them to their investment objectives.
There are two ways to invest money in a mutual fund scheme: either you invest a lump sum amount or invest via systematic investment plan (SIP) route. SIP is a more favorable option, as you can start with an amount as little as Rs500 and enter the gateway to wealth creation.
SIP is a more organized way of investing a fixed amount of money, on a fixed date (mostly on a monthly or quarterly basis), for a fixed period of time. This way, you can avail the benefits of rupee cost averaging.
What happens in the stock market? An investor plans to 'time the market', so that the purchase rate is low and sale takes place at a higher rate. A SIP does this automatically.
Therefore, SIP is considered the best way to invest in equity mutual fund schemes. There are no eligibility criteria for investing through a Systematic Investment Plan. People of any age can start investing in mutual funds through SIP. The earlier you start and the longer you stay invested, more will be the rewards of compounding and cost averaging.
There are many advantages of mutual funds. Here, we have jotted down three key benefits that will help you invest better and take care of your financial requirements at various stages of life.
This is the first rule of investing, for both big as well as small investors. Diversification of funds is one of the most important aspects of investing. Diversification means one should mix different types of investment options in one portfolio in order to manage risk effectively.
If an individual wants to own a truly diversified portfolio, he/she may have to buy stocks with different capitalizations from different sectors and bonds with varying maturity dates from different issuers. This would mean digging deeper into various options to find relevant information, a very time consuming and stressful task.
Mutual funds help investors diversify unsystematic risks by segregating the funds in a wider portfolio of stocks across different sectors. Therefore, the risk associated with mutual funds is much lower as compared to individual stocks investment.
The basic principle of mutual fund investment allows you to diversify the asset allocation. Secondly, you do not need large amounts of cash to create a portfolio. You must check if the fund is sector-specific or industry-specific. For example, if you are investing in the pharma sector, a mutual fund might spread your money over twenty pharma companies. However, if the entire sector goes down, your portfolio may suffer. But if some companies are doing well while others are not, you will be averaged.
Economies of Scale is another advantage. The concept of bulk buying advantage works in the purchase and sale of securities also. While buying MFs, transactions are made on a much larger scale and therefore, the transaction fee is relatively low, just as you get benefits when buying in volume.
Investors can purchase mutual funds in smaller denominations, thus, allowing them to make periodic investments through monthly purchase plans while taking advantage of cost averaging. So, do not wait until you have enough money to buy higher-cost investments, you can get on the ladder right away with mutual funds. This, in turn, offers another perk - liquidity.
One of the biggest advantages of mutual fund investments is liquidity, i.e. the ease with which an investment can be converted into cash and the ability to enter or exit without much hassle or loss of money.
Even though your money is managed by a professional fund manager, it is always accessible. The structure of a mutual fund ensures that there is flexibility in accessing it. You may withdraw your investment amount partially or entirely even before the maturity date.
Returns from debt mutual funds are not directly affected by withdrawal. That means that a partial amount can be withdrawn at any time and the mutual fund continues to function on the remaining amount. There is no loss of interest rate. Though penalties are charged in the form of an exit load -- ranging from 0.25% - 1% -- and only applicable for a time period less than one year.
You can even transfer your investment from one mutual fund scheme to another, provided both are managed by the same company.
So, if you may be required to break your investment before maturity or liquefy funds at short notice, then you should invest in debt mutual funds. But the basic principle remains intact. You must always give time to your investment for better results. You will not enjoy the benefits if you do not let the fund ripen till maturity. Do not make it a habit to break investments.
Unlike stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which trade any time during market hours, mutual funds transact only once per day after the fund's net asset value (NAV) is calculated.
Mutual funds arguably give the highest returns to the average investor. While traditional investments like gold and FD are stuck with single-digit returns, mutual funds manage to give returns in excess of 15% and even 20% if the selected mutual funds are good.
Investments that give higher returns than mutual funds are either too risky or require you to gain certain skills.

3 things to know | Tyler Matakevich

1. Special teams boss
Head coach Sean McDermott loves competition at every position and Tyler Matakevich provides that on special teams. Matkevich has made his living playing on special teams the past four seasons for the Steelers. In 2019, Matakevich had 16 tackles on special teams which tied for the most in the NFL. In the last two seasons, Matakevich accounted for 657 special teams snaps. His mindset on special teams is simple.
"You see ball, you go get ball," Matakevich explained. "People always ask me, what do you do? I really just tell them I'm just running down there as fast as I can. I'm not going to let anybody block me and I'm going to beat you to the ball. That's what I love about special teams. You don't have 70 snaps out there to run down on kickoff, you only have maybe three or four so you have to make them count."
Nicknamed "Dirty Red" for his hair and work ethic, the linebacker will be an important piece to a vital phase of the game. From 2016 to 2019, Matakevich leads the NFL in solo special teams tackles with 25. No one posts these stats without being a sure tackler and elite player. Entering the offseason, this was an area McDermott wanted improvement in and Matakevich will provide that.
2. Defensive minded role player
Matakevich's primary role may be on special teams for the Bills but he can provide depth at linebacker as well. Matt Milano and Tremaine Edmunds are key players on defense at linebacker but with the departure of Lorenzo Alexander due to retirement, that position could use depth. Matakevich explained he has watched film of Alexander in order to learn from someone who has played a role on special teams as well as on defense.
"There's so many guys that started out on special teams, playing for so many years until they finally get a chance [on defense]," Matakevich said. "I think of Lorenzo Alexander all the time. That was a guy that I would actually watch film on, like last offseason just trying to see what he would do. You look at him he was on special teams and then he gets a contract as a starting linebacker."
McDermott has said Alexander's role will need to be filled by multiple players. Matakevich gives the Bills an ability to plug and place players in that spot based off of their strengths. Defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier loves to throw different looks at opposing offense's based on winning one-on-one matchups. The linebacker may earn his way onto the weekly active roster because of special teams, but Frazier will likely find a place for him on defense in certain plays.

3. Fan favorite heading to Buffalo
Matakevich has ties to a current Bills player that's a fan favorite in Dion Dawkins. Dawkins and Matakevich played together at Temple. The newest Bill says he has kept in touch with Dawkins who has helped him understand what the culture is like in Buffalo as well as the fan base.
"I think just the culture and the personality of who they are," Matakevich said. "Talking with Coach McDermott it was sort of clear. I definitely was so excited to be a part of the Bills culture, Bills Mafia, everything about it. I feel like it's just hard-nosed, blue-collar and I feel like that's me head-to-toe."
Matakevich is excited to be a part of Bills Mafia and was respected by Steeler Nation during his four years playing for the Steelers. The Temple grad was such a favorite amongst fans that he earned a nod many NFL players don't receive during their time in the league. In 2019, Matakevich received 87,863 Pro Bowl fan votes which pushed him ahead of New England's Matthew Slater who is an eight-time Pro Bowler.
The special teamer unfortunately didn't make it to the Pro Bowl as the fan vote is one-third of the selection process but was overwhelmed by the support he received. This approval from Steelers fans gives Bills Mafia a good indication that Matakevich could be a new favorite.

The prophet Muhammad was the founder of the religion of Islam. Followers of Islam, called Muslims, believe that Muhammad received messages from Allah (God). These messages were later collected into the Koran, the holy book of Islam.
Muhammad was born in the Arabian town of Mecca (now in Saudi Arabia) in about 570. Muhammad's father died before Muhammad was born, and Muhammad's mother died when he was 6. He was then raised by his grandfather and later by his uncle.
When Muhammad was about 25 years old, he married a rich, older woman named Khadijah. Their marriage helped Muhammad gain wealth and social standing, and they had six children. Although many men at the time had more than one wife, Khadijah was Muhammad's only wife until after her death.
Beginnings of Islam
According to tradition, in about 610 Muhammad had a vision (thought to be of the angel Gabriel) and heard a voice tell him, "You are the messenger of God." At various times during the rest of his life, Muhammad received verbal messages that he believed came directly from God.
Muhammad began preaching in Mecca in about 613. He told people they should worship only one God, which was different from the Arab practice of worshipping many gods. He also told people to be generous as a way of expressing their appreciation to God. His new religion came to be called Islam, meaning "submission to God."
Leaving Mecca
Many people in Mecca were against the new religion. Those who believed in several gods were afraid that their holy places might be destroyed. Merchants disliked Muhammad because he criticized them for being greedy.
Muhammad worried that his enemies might hurt him and his followers, so he encouraged his followers to move to the nearby city of Medina. Muhammad himself reached Medina on September 24, 622, which is considered the starting date for the history of Islam. Muhammad's trip to Medina is known as the Hegira.
Uniting the Tribes
Most Arabs at the time were part of large groups called tribes. Muhammad was determined to join the many Arab tribes together under Islam. He hoped that by uniting they could use their military strength to spread Islam to other areas.
To achieve his goal, Muhammad had to get the support of Mecca. From 622 on, he and his followers fought several battles with forces from Mecca. By the time Muhammad and his forces entered Mecca in 630, many notable citizens had already moved to Medina to become Muslims. Mecca gave up with little fight.
Muhammad died on June 8, 632, in Medina. He left most of Arabia united and ready to spread the faith. But after his death, his followers could not agree on who should lead them. This led to the breakup of Islam into different branches.

NBC's new action thriller should have been the road not 'Taken'
By Vicki Hyman | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
In the premiere of NBC's "Taken," a prequel to Liam Neeson's cinematic carnival of bone-crunching, lung-puncturing and kidney-busting, a shadowy team of elite intelligence agents entangle former Green Beret Bryan Mills in a CIA operation without his knowledge. One of the younger analysts wonders whether they have a moral duty to clue him in.
Famke Janssen, as special deputy director of national intelligence Christina Hart, scoffs: "Okay, you're boring me now."
I feel you, sister.
Full disclosure: Famke Janssen actually plays the leader of a mercenary black-ops agency in NBC's "The Blacklist: Redemption," which premiered Thursday. Jennifer Beals plays Hart. But that's the problem. As bulletproof as the franchise may seem (although Neeson, now 64, recently dismissed plans for a "Taken 4"), the TV series is a rote procedural that dulls the film's premise further by making it an ensemble piece (the monomaniacal nature of Neeson's Mills is the point of "Taken") and has a lead actor, Clive Standen of History's "Vikings," most notable for not being Neeson. And for wearing really bad sweaters.
"Taken" is supposed to be an origin story -- but set in the present day? -- about what fuels Mills and how he developed "that particular set of skills," although the opening scene shows the man is already something of an expert as coercive chiropractic, and for those of you whose interest in TV is directly proportional to body count, you won't be disappointed.
But the only thing we learn in the early going is that Bryan Mills really, really hates it when his beautiful blonde relatives are endangered. Glad NBC cleared that up for us.
"Taken" premieres Monday at 10 p.m. on NBC.

Breaking down genocide in Myanmar
For eight months, a Yale University Law clinic assessed evidence obtained by Al Jazeera and Fortify Rights.
28 Oct 2015 11:38 GMT
Over the past eight months, The Lowenstein Clinic, part of Yale University Law School, attempted to answer one question: "Is a genocide being carried out in Myanmar?"
Based on the definition of genocide provided by the 1948 International Convention of the Prevention of the Crime of Genocide, and legal judgements issued by the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, the group was able to derive a methodology for analysing evidence from Myanmar.
More exclusive coverage by Al Jazeera investigating "strong evidence" of genocide in Myanmar can be found here: aljazeera.com/genocideagenda
The group examined firsthand testimonies, the testimonies of various secondary sources, government sanctioned propaganda material, and leaked documents obtained by Al Jazeera's Investigative Unit and the non-profit human rights organisation, Fortify Rights.
Under article two of the Convention of Genocide, they were able to find strong evidence supporting that the following acts were committed in Myanmar, "with the intent to destroy in whole or in part" the Rohingya-Muslim minority:
Killing members of the group
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group
Al Jazeera has made several requests for comment to the Myanmar President's office and government spokespeople but has not received any response.
