This mission was a real eye-opener for me.
At the youth home I was really struck by how much life the boys had; after they'd gone through so much at young ages, they were ready to bounce back with love for others and God. They have a huge amount of light-heartedness and compassion that's enviable. They don't complain when they have to work and they take life head-on in a dizzying amount of energy. Their love and passion for God is the same, and just so amazing to witness. This was really put in perspective for me when we got to Tucheng, where I was surrounded by kids that were really similar to me- they were living the same comfortable lives they always had, taking life and God for granted. I feel like I can't tell myself I'm a "good Christian" any longer, but really start loving all of the people around me, considering them blessings for coming into my life and wanting to bless them in return. In one week, I fell in love with these boys and the resilience they had in life, their optimism no matter what, and the purity of their hearts. I'm constantly thanking God for these kids, that I can really see who will inherit the kingdom of Heaven.
Coming to the Hualien Youth Home, I had no idea what to expect. All I knew was that there were a bunch of orphanage boys that I wanted to share the love of Jesus with.
When we arrived at the Youth Home on Sunday, I was impressed by the hospitality and kindness of the boys that welcomed us and did the presentation. Even more surprising was when we found out that most of the boys have already accepted Jesus. I had to think hard about what I was going to do to help these kids. I determined to help these kids understand the Bible more deeply and how to apply its truths in their lives.
On the first day of Bible camp, I was very nervous about what songs to play for worship. I knew that these kids spoke very little English, so I picked the easiest songs in the beginning. I also was trying to get used to playing with our band members, because this was the first time we were playing together with the music instruments. I am thankful that the kids tried their best to follow along, that our band played our best, and that we all learned how to praise God together. Even though the first few songs were originally for little children, I am thankful that the boys still enjoyed singing about God's love and truth. I was blessed by the amount of love the kids showed when singing praise to Jesus Christ our Lord.
The boys' love of God continued to show when we did our Bible stories. Even though English was very hard for them to learn, the kids gave their 100% attention, doing everything they could to understand the vocabulary, stories, and memory verses. Even though they were very shy about speaking in English, they tried their best and I am very proud of them. But what I am most proud of them was how well they could apply the Bible stories to their own lives.
What difficult things can we do for Jesus?
What do people worship? Who should we worship?
What do we do when we know we sinned?
What will you do to proclaim the gospel?
The kids answered very well, and I pray God will help them to live out their Christian faith. One more thing about class time: my class always ended late because we had so much we wanted to teach, yet the kids never had any complaints. They all were eager to finish every class with 100% excellence no matter how difficult or how long it took. These kids are amazing!
-I love how Max was so determined to memorize a bible verse that after class he studied and practiced it. Even on the last day of the camp he still was able to share the verse in English! I pray that he never gives up being an excellent student of the Bible.
-I love how Joseph kept my watch safe when I accidentally left it at the basketball court. I was very happy when he gave it back to me the next day. I thought I would never see it again, but you kids are so kind!
-Also special thanks to Mints Chen for helping us with translation. You are a great Teacher Assistant!
One thing I wished was to know more Chinese so I could speak with the kids in personal conversation and encourage them in trusting Christ. That is why I am committing myself to learning Chinese so I can be ready next year!
The kids in TuCheng were much different than the ones at Hualien. The majority of these kids were from the nearby schools, and were not a part of a church. It was a great opportunity to teach these kids the Word of God!
I had a great time leading the group in worship. It was especially fun singing "我要向高山擧目" ( Lift Up My Eyes to the Mountains) with them. They were really excited and joyful with this song! Because of the large size of the group (and large age range), God needed me to adapt for this unique environment. God helped me to understand how to accommodate for everyone's needs.
Because these kids were advanced in their English reading skills, we used the Bible stories to help them practice speaking English and translating into Chinese. My TA Jay stayed up all night every day reading, writing, and translating the bible stories from English to Chinese in preparation for the next day's lesson. I'm very proud of him!
The most memorable part of this trip was how the kids affectionately called me "一點點先生" (Mr. A Little)… Because I could speak a little Chinese in the second week. A little bit goes a long way! The kids at Hualien were too shy to talk to me because on my first week I was not able to speak Chinese. But at TuCheng I could speak a little Chinese (and they can speak a little English), so we could somewhat communicate with each other :). This made snack time a lot more fun and interactive 🙂 🙂 :). Having fun with the kids and getting to know them personally and showing them God's love was a great blessing!
In TuCheng, the host family (especially Howard) went out of their way to fully accommodate for us… literally! The parents stayed elsewhere so we could stay at their home, while Howard served us every day! The Lee family also prepared 12-course meals that were amazing and delicious! Because the parents knew Cantonese, we were able to share with one another what God has been doing in our lives. It was very encouraging and refreshing. Finally, people that can really understand what I'm saying, and the other way around! The TAs also worked very hard to support us in teaching the kids. I trust God will continue to work in them to continue leading the kids in Christ.
On Sunday, it was a blessing getting to spend time with one of my favorite students, 黃孟偉. I was sad that I didn't see any of my other students :'(.
After worship time, 黃孟偉 brought me to the kids' Sunday school. We enjoyed the Sunday school lesson and activities together.
After class, I got to play with the kids and got a perspective of how the kids interacted after service.
Next year, I want to come back to Taiwan. I will prepare myself to speak more Chinese, so that I will be able to communicate with my student. I surely will try my best!

'Disaronno Amaretto' is a $2.7 billion beverage, but the price is still $5 a bottle
Home / Service /
admin Service disaronno amaretto liqueur, pear liqueur, tuaca italian liqueur, types of liqueurs
The Disaronno brand is an American brand of wine.
The company makes Amarettas, a white wine with red grapes.
The price is $5.99 a bottle and the brand is available at nearly all retailers.
However, it is still not cheap.
The Disaryno Amares is currently available only at Wine Spectator, which is not a discounting outlet like Wine Advocate or Wine Spector Direct.
There are only about 300 stores in the United States.
However the company's website has been updated to list a number of retailers that sell Amarests, including Costco, Best Buy, Walgreens, WalMart, Target, and BJ's Wholesale Club.
The brand also is available in the Netherlands.
The Amaretti brand is also sold in Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Spain and Portugal.
The name "Disaronna" comes from a word meaning "to taste," and is commonly used to describe wine.
"Disaryno" means "to drink."
It is a term used by many Italians to describe wines that are made with special ingredients.
"Bicchetti" is a Italian word for "wine" or "grapes."
"Amaretto" means a white drink.
"Liquoro" means alcoholic beverages.
The word "Disareno" comes directly from the word "disaronnata" which means a "liquor."
In other words, a wine is a spirit, spirit is a drink.
The term "disareno amari" means that the liquor is "like a liquor."
The Disareno Amari is also referred to as the "Lemon Liqueur."
It comes from the same vineyard as the Disaronnati wine.
This is because the Disarenos Amaretta and Amareottas are made from the juice of the same grape.
The two Amarets are made of the juice and fruit of the fruit of another grape.
According to the company, "the Amarettenas are blended with the juice from a different grape" which is a grape called "Chianti."
However, the brand also sells the Amarettes and Amares "from the fruit" of a different wine called "Nassava."
The "Nasava" is from a grape that produces white grape juice called "Vagrant."
According to its website, "The fruit of a Nasava is the most sought after, most expensive and the most desirable."
There is no "Vogrant" in the word, but it is not unheard of for a vineyard to make white wine that is the fruit and not the wine.
According the website, the fruit has a unique aroma and taste that is "as if you have just tasted the finest white wine."
According the Disaryne Amareti website, it has a "delicate, full flavor and a velvety finish."
There are many other wine varieties that are available.
According Wine Spectators website, there are "several other vineyards that use the grapes of the Domaine de S. Amaretas and the grape variety of the S. G. Pons."
The wines come from two different grape types, Pons and Amaranta.
The "Pons" is the smaller grape, and is found on the north of Italy.
The wine is aged for four years.
The wines are made in the same family, Domaine Amareta, which means "little vineyard."
The wine has a strong, sweet taste that "remains with you throughout the wine's life."
There's a lot of speculation about what this wine is made from.
"The Amareretta" is made of red grapes that are also the fruit.
It is usually white.
It has a mild taste.
The brands are named after the wines.
"Amber" is for "the bright, fresh, refreshing aroma."
"Bacchus" is "bitter, fruity, and tangy."
The Amares are a light, fruiting wine.
It's not a traditional white wine.
There's no alcohol in it.
The only alcohol is the grapes used to make the wine, and the "chocolate" in it which is "a creamy, slightly sweet, slightly bitter taste."
The color of the Amares also varies depending on the grapes.
According its website "The color of these wines is a mixture of white, red and orange, with a little chocolate.
The orange and red are almost always a little lighter in color than the white."
According Wine Advocate, "If you want to drink the Amaring, you have to know the name of the wine that's being aged."
There have been a number products that have been made using

Veterans in Jail - Dan Heaphy
Lack of concern final blow for abandoned diggers
by Adella Beaini
21st Jun 2019 5:54 AM
East Timor and Afghan veteran Dan Heaphy could be facing jail for offences committed while battling without help the PTSD he suffered in the service of his country. But sadly he is just the tip of the iceberg.
But sadly he is just the tip of the iceberg.
There are at least 150 known veterans behind bars in NSW and Victoria, but the real number is believed to be much higher.
The Department of Veterans Affairs does not keep details and even Corrective Services know only of the few who reveal their service.

Mr Heaphy blames his conditions for the fact he is now facing assault charges.
"The DVA aren't there for us, they're just another organisation and just there to exist financially," 40-year-old Mr Heaphy said.
"After I was discharged I moved back to Melbourne and the depression kicked.
"More than a year ago I started to get in a bit of trouble and I am facing some serious offences, but it all mostly happened when I wasn't completely right. I still have my battles."
His case has been adjourned to July 17 to allow time for psychiatric reports that will look at the impact of a serious vehicle accident in 2005 that left him mentally scarred while he was a Corporal in the 4th Battalion Royal Australian Regiment.
"None of it I'm overly proud of, but unfortunately it's a consequence of all the years that were left untreated after I was discharged from the Defence Force in 2007. I hope the system can identify these issues that have contributed to this," Mr Heaphy said.
There is no official agency keeping track of veterans when they go to prison, with many refusing to reveal their former role because they do not wish to bring shame on their military service.
Smaller organisations say the DVA is not supporting jailed veterans and it has been left to them to fill the gap.
Michael Quinn, the Victorian president of the Peacekeeper and Peacemaker Veterans Association, said the services provided by the DVA and RSL for veterans in jail simply "don't exist".
"Our new program is looking at identifying veterans who are in the prison system and helping them put claims through DVA," he said. The aim was to help them "transition into normal life once they get out".
"The government and the DVA have failed to do anything. The RSL wouldn't even take up our program and there hasn't been a hell of a lot of a push from them towards doing things for the veterans in jail," he said.
At best, Mr Quinn said, a veteran could expect a visit on Anzac Day from an old Digger in his 90s.
Mr Heaphy blames his conditions for the fact he is now facing assault charges. Picture: Mark Stewart
Victorian RSL CEO Mike Annett said the organisation has been working with prisons since 2016 to include a Welfare Intake Assessment with the questions: "Have you served in the Australian Defence Force? If so, would you like a visit from somebody from the RSL?"
"We are ensuring that we work with the government, the DVA, and Correctives to identify veterans and provide them with support," Mr Annett said.
But he said it was up to the jailed ex-service member to request a visit.
"Depending on where the prison is located, we will arrange for somebody from the local RSL to conduct a professional visit to ascertain what assistance the prisoner might require," he said.
Mr Annett said the RSL helped veterans with lodging claims to the DVA but even that is "somewhat restricted" because it has very little access to military records.
The DVA's Transition and Wellbeing Study in 2015 looked at the effect of military service on the mental, physical and social health of former ADF personnel.
It recorded a small number who had been arrested, convicted or imprisoned after leaving the ADF.
According to the data, 3 per cent of ADF personnel had been arrested since leaving the ADF and a further 2 per cent had been convicted. But the study only covered those who had left in the previous four years.
A DVA spokeswoman said states and territories were responsible for corrective services data.
She said Veterans Affairs Minister Darren Chester had raised the lack of information with the states and was working to "capture more comprehensive reporting".
Veterans in jail still get compensation payments for an impairment and veterans leaving jail receive support and a "one-off, non-taxable crisis payment" from DVA to set up a new home, the spokeswoman said.

DEFENCE SACKED MY SON IN HOSPITAL
By Matthew Benns
The mother of Royal Australian Navy poster boy David Finney has had hundreds of calls from veterans and their families begging for help.
"I am appalled by the number of veterans needing urgent help," said Julie-Ann Finney, whose son took his own life in February this year after the Department of Veterans Affairs ignored his pleas.
Writing in today's Daily Telegraph, Ms Finney said the reaction only served to reinforce her call for a royal commission into the treatment of the nation's soldiers, sailors and air force personnel who suffered as a result of their service.
ADF member Dave Finney, who lost his battle with PTS in February 2019.
"I have had four calls through messenger from veterans or their partners in the past two weeks. They are on the brink and seeking urgent assistance to prevent an immediate loss of life," she writes. "These are people who have given service to their country and now feel abandoned."
Ms Finney wants a royal commission to look at the DVA and a spate of suicides by veterans that are claiming an average of a life a week, leaving thousands of families to deal with ongoing devastation.
In her column, she reveals that her son was sacked by Defence while lying in his hospital bed feeling " hopeless, alone and at his lowest ebb".
"The Department of Defence chose that moment to sack him. He was medically discharged and on the same day a transfer of rehabilitation authority was signed, transferring his rehabilitation from the ADF to the DVA," she said. "The ADF washed its hands of him - he never heard from them again.

Wani, son of Bashir Ahmad Wani, joined the Hizbul Mujahideen on January 5, states the message in the photograph that appeared on Facebook and WhatsApp.
ALIGARH Muslim University (AMU) on Monday expelled Mannan Wani, a research scholar from Kashmir, after a photograph appeared on social media showing him holding a grenade launcher and a message claiming that he has joined militancy.
While the university ordered an inquiry into Wani's activities on the campus, Aligarh police sealed his room in AMU's Habib Hall (hostel) on Monday after seizing some documents.
He said Wani joined AMU in the 2012-13 for MSc in Geology. After completing the course, he enrolled for MPhil in 2014. "He was currently pursuing his PhD in applied geology," said Khan. University PRO Omar Peerzada said: "Wani was last seen at his department on January 2. The hostel staff informed that Wani stopped eating in the dining hall four to five days before he left." He added, "His roommate never complained against him." Hailing from Kupwara, Wani used to stay in room 237 of Habib Hall. On Monday, a police team, along with AMU officials, searched the room. "The operation has been videographed. We have seized books, diaries and some other items," Aligarh SSP Rajesh Kumar Pandey said.
SP (City) Atul Srivastava said that Wani's roommate — also from Kashmir and pursuing MSc — had gone to his native place four months ago and is yet to return. "AMU authorities do not why," he said, adding that some documents in Urdu were found in the room.
The Proctor said the university has set "up a comprehensive inquiry into the entire matter" and is beefing up security in AMU hostels. "The university will conduct surprise checks in hostels at night to ensure that no external elements, including expelled students, are taking shelter," said Khan.


In the face of the changes that are coming to corporate governance, boards would be well advised to begin their examination of the input they receive from shareholders and stakeholders by looking for common ground.
A synonym for input is contribution. Imagine if boards saw the comments and suggestions that they receive from shareholders as the way that shareholders want to contribute to the improvement and long-term strength of the company.
Trust fosters trust. If boards want to engender more trust among shareholders, they can start by trusting that their shareholders sincerely care about the issues they raise and want what's best for the company and all shareholders.
Boards that start with finding common ground with shareholders can then build outward. Neither directors nor shareholders expect to be in complete agreement. But such an approach is respectful and has as its goal the shared long-term health of the enterprise.

The final inner alignment goes through Chichen Itza, Florida, Bermuda Triangle, Gemini and across the Atlantic to the belt of Bootes that stands over the Mid-east also shown below.
What is Orion the Hunter doing? As shown below in the turquoise lines, Orion's right hand is pointing to Taurus' head, I would imagine the eye area. His left arm which holds a club or sword I left open to see where they aligned to and as you can see the alignments go to Perseus' Pole originating from the Angel that drops down to Hercules sword on the opposite side of the planet in Central Asia.
We now come to the alignments of the belt of Orion. To the Southeast the Belt aligns right into Sirius' head near the eye just as the Palenque Sacred Grid inner alignment does as seen in the red line.
Next, the Northwest Orion's Belt alignment goes through Aries to the opposite location on the planet to the Great Pyramid...... parallel to the Triangulum star system.
The locations that comprise the triangle are Kauai, Hawaii and the opposite location to the Great Pyramid at 29.979269, -148.864844. This is not antipodal.

Jim Burns is an artist from Wales and started his career in the 1970s. He's a sci-fi artist whose artworks have appeared on numerous covers and that is what he's probably most well known for doing.
The Art of Jim Burns: Hyperluminal features a collection of artworks from Burns's career from the 70s to the recent years up to 2014. You'll see the book cover art he created for authors such as Peter F Hamilton, George R R Martin and many more. The artworks are reproduced huge in this coffee table book compared to the novels. Because of the size, you can see more clearly the amount of detail he puts in the paintings.
He uses primarily acrylics, occasionally oils and also took up digital painting. The details and defined edges of his acrylics paintings are impressive. The artworks are credited to the books they are for, year and medium.
The artworks are beautiful, well reproduced, particularly the ones painted with traditional medium. Digital ones still look digital though. Most are sci-fi, some fantasy, and a few surreal ones. The sci-fi worlds he creates are quite unlike those from other artists with his choice of colours, realism, details and design. They belong more to the traditional sci-fi art in those days as compared to the busy video game style concept art commonly seen nowadays.
I've a minor quibble for page 110 where a face was cut into half by the page gutter.
Overall, a good book for fans of his art.
The Art of Jim Burns: Hyperluminal is another wonderful addition to the sci-fi artbooks that Titan Books have published in the recent years such as for Fred Gambino, John Harris and Chris Foss.

Persistence and Fade-Out of Educational Intervention Effects: Mechanisms and Potential Solutions
DREW H. BAILEY (School of Education, University of California, Irvine), GREG J. DUNCAN (School of Education, University of California, Irvine), FLÁVIO CUNHA (Department of Economics, Rice University), BARBARA R. FOORMAN (Florida Center for Reading Research, Florida State University), AND DAVID S. YEAGER (Department of Psychology, University of Texas at Austin)
Psychological Science in the Public Interest (Volume 21, Number 2)
Read the Full Text (PDF, HTML)
Time-limited experiences such as educational interventions may have long-lasting effects and alter a person's life trajectory, but in some instances, their effects are short-lived. Understanding the factors that influence and contribute to the persistence and fade-out of interventions can improve theories of human development and help to create meaningful interventions, with implications for practice and policy.
In this issue of Psychological Science in the Public Interest (Volume 21, Issue 2), Drew H. Bailey, Greg J. Duncan, Flávio Cunha, Barbara R. Foorman, and David S. Yeager review the evidence for persistence and fade-out of interventions, with a focus on educational interventions. They conclude that, despite limited data on the long-term effects of interventions, fade-out appears to be widespread, and persistence appears to depend on several factors. The authors present a model of skill building that might be used to make predictions about persistence and fade-out.
Persistence and Fade-out: Definition and Prevalence
Intervention effects are usually defined as differences in outcomes among a group of people who received an intervention relative to a group of people who did not. Bailey and colleagues explain that fade-out refers to "a variety of associated but distinct phenomena related to the time course of effects after the completion of an intervention." Persistence refers to the durability of intervention effects, in the sense of whether outcomes still differ for those who received the intervention long after it has ended. Here, the researchers focus on fade-out, in opposition to persistence, as a pattern of diminishing impacts after the end of the intervention. They note that fade-out can coexist with persistence; for example, students learning a new language will experience some forgetfulness and setbacks, but they are still expected to perform better (showing some persistence) if they take a class than if they do not.
Bailey and colleagues note a pattern of declining intervention effects in many interventions designed to boost children's academic performance by targeting specific skills. They do not find any meta-analyses supporting the existence of full persistence (i.e., interventions whose benefits did not fade out at all). However, some interventions that have targeted a broader set of skills or capacities appear to have generated substantial benefits with some degree of persistence. Interestingly, some of the best-known instances of the persistence of educational interventions showed fade-out followed by the emergence of long-term benefits.
Explanations for Fade-out and Persistence
Fade-out does not appear to be an artifact of measurement or publication bias. It does not appear to be caused by misleading effect-size reporting or baseline or posttreatment imbalances (i.e., "unhappy" randomization in randomized controlled trials that make groups' outcomes diverge or converge due to variables other than the intervention). Fade-out also does not appear to be caused only by a lack of correspondence between constructs influenced by or measured long after the end of the intervention and constructs measured immediately after the intervention. Some explanations of fade-out rely on psychological processes that occur after the interventions, such as forgetting or failing to transfer learning. In other words, the benefits of learning one skill may not transfer to other broadly related skills or tasks.
Several factors appear to sustain the benefits of interventions, leading to persistence, Bailey and colleagues propose. These include the targeting of malleable, fundamental skills that would not have developed in the absence of the intervention. If an intervention successfully builds these skills, sustaining environments are required to maintain those skill advantages. Thus, persistence also depends on institutional constraints and opportunities within the social context, along with the overlap between interventions and what the environment offers to the individuals.
A Model of Skill Building and Its Implications
Building on the factors that promote the persistence of educational interventions, Bailey and colleagues propose a formal model of skill building. This model predicts that interventions will have long-term effects if they target certain skills, including advanced academic and vocational skills and social-cognitive factors, such as children's implicit theories of intelligence. Other targets might be nutrition, toxic stress, parenting, and basic problem-solving skills. The model also predicts that intensive interventions that affect an individual's contexts may be most likely to provide persistent benefits. However, these interventions are usually very expensive. Accordingly, identifying sustaining environments would be quite useful for policymaking because it would allow for a combination of intensive targeted interventions and continued investment in environment quality that would improve the persistence of the interventions' benefits.
Bailey and colleagues recommend longer follow-up periods for research on the long-term consequences of interventions. Their review shows that only a few intervention studies have assessed impacts after interventions ended, preventing researchers from getting a clear view of fade-out and persistence patterns. The authors also suggest testing for overalignment between intervention goals and measurements (similar to the "teaching to the test" effect) and then reducing such overalignment so that interventions address gaps in the environments that foster fundamental skills rather than gaps in the skills that scales measure and develop. Other research recommendations include testing the interactions between interventions and context and developing models to forecast the long-term impacts of interventions. Regarding policy, Bailey and colleagues recommend that policymakers conduct cost-benefit analyses instead of relying on standardized effect sizes, which provides incomplete guidance.
Interventions to Do Real-World Good: Generalization and Persistence
By C. Shawn Green, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Interventions to Do Real-World Good
In an accompanying commentary, C. Shawn Green (Department of Psychology, University of Wisconsin-Madison) discusses two criteria that interventions must meet to "do real-world good." First, an intervention's impact should generalize reasonably broadly and be enduring (i.e., persist). Green argues that despite the apparent ease of creating interventions that improve learning of specific skills, these interventions do not produce real-world good because their effects do not generalize. The second criterion is long-term follow-up, as Bailey and colleagues also propose. Green suggests that (a) thinking in terms of trajectories after an intervention can inform designs for persistence, and (b) it is important to leverage methodology to better understand the mechanisms of fade-out.
What We Are Learning About Fade-Out of Intervention Effects: A Commentary
By Barbara Schneider and Lydia Bradford, Michigan State University
What Are We Learning About Fade-out Intervention Effects?
In another commentary, Barbara Schneider (College of Education and Department of Sociology, Michigan State University) and Lydia Bradford (Department of Counseling, Educational Psychology, and Special Education, Michigan State University) argue that the psychological perspective on education interventions might lead researchers to overlook study designs in which fade-out can more easily be adjusted (e.g., quasiexperimental designs with longitudinal samples) or other naturally occurring treatments (e.g., the use of online instruction during a pandemic). The authors specify the problems that can arise from designing interventions that rely on randomized controlled trials, including postintervention measurement issues. They suggest that, going beyond Bailey and colleagues' recommendations, researchers should also identify and measure mediators that can help to better identify the causes of interventions' effects.

Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, was at a automobile dealership getting his vehicle inspected when he saw news reports of a car plowing into a group of counterprotesters. "I was shocked, " he said.
Dr. Elizabeth Samuels, situations of emergency specialist in New Haven, Connecticut, and Providence, Rhode Island, was closely following the events in Charlottesville from home.

The U.S. Justice Department has agreed to provide congressional investigators confidential records on a failed gun-trafficking operation during the Obama administration known as "Fast and Furious" that long has been criticized by Republican lawmakers.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said the Justice Department would hand over documents to the Republican-led House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform that had been withheld by Democratic former President Barack Obama's administration.
The agreement reached by Republican President Donald Trump's administration will effectively end a six-year long legal battle in which the committee had gone to federal court to try to enforce a subpoena it had issued to obtain the records.
Congressional Republicans have been pressing the Justice Department for years about the operation. Named after a movie about car racing, the operation sought to curb gun-trafficking criminals who were selling weapons to Mexican drug cartels.
In June 2012, the Republican-led House voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder, an Obama appointee, in contempt for failing to turn over documents about the operation. The committee sued Holder for access to the documents in August 2012. Obama asserted executive privilege to block the disclosure of the documents.
Democrats at the time accused Republicans of engaging in a partisan witch hunt.
In an effort to build bigger cases against major gun traffickers who were selling arms to Mexican cartels, U.S. law enforcement officials elected not to prosecute lower-level offenders transporting more than 2,000 illegal guns.
The operation and its flaws became public after two of those firearms were found in Arizona at the scene of a fatal shooting of a U.S. Border Patrol agent.
In September 2012, the Justice Department's inspector general released a report faulting 12 department employees for failures related to the operation. The report vindicated Holder, concluding he neither conceived the operation nor attempted a cover-up.
Holder, now a partner at the law firm Covington and Burling LLP, could not be immediately reached at his office on Wednesday.
Eric holder didn't cover it up?
I got silver mine I wanna sell you on the moon…..
Holder, Clinton, et al. are Teflon. I remember reading that at least one of the rifles used in the Paris nightclub attack was traced back to Fast and Furious…yet, no rope – no gallows…no media coverage, no outrage….nothing but crickets. I expect the same thing with this.
Yes, Mr. "Brainwash people against guns" is a major gun smuggler, but I'm sure the worst of the records these congressional investigators are seeking have already been destroyed.
Worse than Holder's "fast and furious" operation is the 70,000 assault rifles that our military "lost" near the Mexican border. I'm sure there's a large contingent of wetbacks waiting for the order to start attacking gringos wherever they see 'em.
What about Bush 2 and "Operation wide receiver" ????

Demand in America and Other parts of the world for reliable Tattoo Removal Training, and more importantly, for removal of Permanent Makeup has brought Lorena to hold regular classes in New Orleans and other parts of the world.
For decades lasers have been sold to professionals with Manufacturer's Training which covers primarily how to use your machine. However, professionals have been given very little information as to how to safely remove tattoos from the body. Worse, very few professionals have been taught the art form of removing Permanent Makeup, also known as Micropigmentation.
This has meant that Medical Laser Professionals have had to travel to London to train with Lorena. Lorena has developed the techniques that she teaches herself. She is a true pioneer in her industry and more importantly, none of her students has ever been successfully sued. Lorena is asked to speak and teach all over the world and is recognised in the permanent makeup industry as the go to person. Lorena's techniques require less power, fewer sessions which translates to healthier skin. Using Lorena's techniques you will get the most out of your laser, with less scaring and less hypo-pigmentation.
You can see Lorena's contribution to the British Aesthetic Medical Journal here.
How are Lorena's techniques different? She understands the three fundamentals better than anyone else. The Laser, The Skin and the Ink or Pigments. In her class you will learn.
All lasers are not created equal and how the most expensive lasers are not necessarily he lasers you need in your clinic.
How the skin reacts to different lasers and pigments.
Molecule size of pigments and Inks and what lasers target which and why it's important to use the right lasers.
Colors and how different lasers and wavelengths read these.
What lasers to use at what point of the removal process and why.
How to remove Permanent Makeup and Microblading safely.
The use of Titanium Dioxide, what it is and how this needs to be removed.
Skin, we will cover removal on Fitzpatrick 5 and 6. What can be done safely and how.
We will talk about non laser methods and why these should be used in conjunction with lasers, there will be a one day class available on these methods after ours.
After this class you will be able to take a further class on Eyeliner Tattoo Removal as well as the Non Laser Removal Class.
Our courses carry a level 5 and 7 UK accreditation with CPD credits.
You will be required to complete an online Laser Core of Knowledge.
Taking this class gives you access to Lorena for follow up questions and her expertise for the length of your career. We pride ourselves on this aspect of our training.
Although your motivation for training with us should never be a financial one. We understand that professionals have a business to run. This class is a way to make the most of the investment you have made in the form of a laser. Often clinics are to scared to use it and therefore the asset goes to waste.

Crustaceans against Dengue Fever
By Charles Q. Choi on April 1, 2005
Credit: BRAD HINES
Mosquitoes carrying dengue fever annually cause more than 50 million infections worldwide and at least 12,000 deaths. Striking at the bloodsuckers directly, Brian Kay of the Royal Brisbane Hospital in Australia and Vu Sinh Nam of the Ministry of Health in Hanoi sicced the crustacean Mesocyclops on the larvae of the mosquito Aedes aegypti. From 1998 to 2003 the tiny predator was spread in water tanks, and villages cleared away discarded containers likely to collect water. The result, presented in the February 12 Lancet, was the elimination of the mosquito in 32 Vietnamese communes and drastic reduction in five others. No dengue was reported in any of the 37 communes after 2002, meaning that some 380,000 people were protected. (The annual incidence rate before the program began ranged up to 146 cases per 100,000.) This solution might not prove effective everywhere, given the dislike many people have for visible organisms in the drinking water.

Thomas Cook shares drop as Egypt, Greece tourism slumps
The renewed trouble in Egypt is just the latest blow for tour operator Thomas Cook, which has reported a whopping drop in shares of 50 per cent.
Thomas Cook Overseas Ltd. | 22.11.2011
The struggling company has issued a number of profit warnings this year and is now in talks with banks as it seeks to improve cashflow.
"The company is in discussions with its principal lending banks with regard to its facilities during the seasonal low period of cash in the business," a statement from Thomas Cook said.
"While the Company currently remains in compliance with its financing covenants, it also intends to seek agreement from its lending banks to adjustments that will improve its resilience if trading conditions remain difficult."
Thomas Cook's full-year results were due this week, but the report will be delayed until the company's talks with its banks are concluded.
While the winter months can prove slow for tour operators, the extent of Thomas Cook's troubles appears to have spooked the City.
Key tourist markets such as Tunisia and Egypt have been hit hard by the Arab Spring, in turn impacting Thomas Cook's revenue. The renewed violence in Egypt this week, together with the mass protests in another tourists hotspot, Greece, will not have helped matters.
In September, Thomas Cook stopped paying dividends and in August, chief executive Manny Fontenla-Novoa was replaced following the third profits warning of the year. The company is being run by an interim chief executive, Sam Weihagen.

Given the choice between Nutella and a real relationship, I would probably choose the former.
Nutella just makes everything infinitely better. Waffles are bland, fluffy, glutinous objects without it. Crepes are blasphemous without it. And you have been wasting your time if you've been eating your peanut butter & banana sandwiches without this delicious, chocolatey spread.
Not usually one for French toast, I've lately been in the mood to French toast-ify just about everything. Pancakes? Sure, why not! Pumpkin bread? How seasonal!
This Nutella-stuffed French toast is the brainchild of these two culinary interests. Perfectly eggy-soft on the outside, warm chocolately-goodness on the inside.
Aaaaand throw in some macerated strawberries. Because who doesn't love those?
In a medium bowl, combine the strawberries and sugar, stirring well. Cover with cling wrap and set aside for at least one hour or up to overnight.
Beat together the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Whisk in the flour, sugar, and cinnamon, making sure to get every little lump out.
Slice up your loaf of bread into about 8-10 thick slices (think: each slice should be about the size of two or three regular slices). Butterfly each individual slice 3/4 of the way, then slather a thick layer of Nutella in the opening.
Dunk each piece of bread in the egg mixture evenly, then fry on a hot greased pan until golden brown on each side. Serve warm with a heaping spoonful of the macerated strawberries over top and diiiiive in.
Yep. I'm totally drooling over this breakfast because you've combined two of my favorite things: Nutella and Strawberries… and then put them with breakfast carbs, which are the BEST kind of carbs. Pinning this so we can whip this up at my house in the near future — nice work!
Wow. This looks fantastic. My kids would go crazy for this…if I haven't eaten it all first.
what the what. WHAT THE WHAT?!?!
Strawberry and Nutella are SO amazing together! Love these, they'd make the perfect weekend breakfast treat!
Holy deliciousness, these look dangerously good!
