China's trade surplus with USA grows in May
For goods alone, the United States trade deficit with China hit a record $375 billion previous year, and the White House has demanded Beijing cut the imbalance by $200 billion.
As a result, China posted a bilateral trade surplus of about 24.5 billion dollars.
"With global growth now past its peak, Chinese export growth is trending down", said Julian Evans-Pritchard of Capital Economics in a report. It hopes the United States will make joint efforts with China to maintain the stable and healthy development of economic and trade ties between both countries, said Gao.
Helping to explain the decline in the headline surplus, China's NBS said the value of imports grew substantially faster than exports over the year.
Shortly after the end of the exemption, the European Union initiated a dispute with the United States at the WTO, and announced Wednesday the start of applying rebalancing duties on US products in July, as part of the "three-pronged response".
Import growth had been expected to slow to 18.7 percent in May, compared with 21.5 percent one month earlier.
More news: Trump will stay at G7 for women's rights, but not ecology
Top Chinese economic advisor Liu He made the offer during weekend trade talks in Beijing with a United States delegation led by Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
USA goods exports to China previous year were at US$130.4 billion, according to the department.
The move to finalise the March plan comes just 10 days after US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin declared the looming trade war with China had been put on hold, and ahead of the arrival of US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in Beijing [on 2 June] for further talks on trade.
China' trade surplus narrowed to $24.92 billion in May from $28.38 billion in April, and came in well below analysts forecasts for a $31.9 billion surplus. While it has imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from across the world, riling up allies in Europe, Asia and Canada, it has yet to enact any of the China-specific levies it has threatened.
China's trade surplus with the United States jumped in May, official data showed yesterday, worsening the imbalance at the centre of tensions between the economic titans while Beijing's advantage with the rest of the world shrank, reports AFP from Beijing.
Beijing has cut import duties on automobiles and some consumer goods and to ease curbs on foreign ownership in its auto industry.
Canada loses 7500 jobs in May but unemployment rate unchanged
The central bank has raised its target for the overnight rate three times since last summer and it now stands at 1.25 per cent. In Quebec, a drop in full-time work was offset by a gain in part-time to leave the province little changed for the month.

Cleansing Your Liver – for weight loss and more!
You are here: Home / Healthy Living / Cleansing Your Liver – for weight loss and more!
If you've ever smelled exhaust fumes, or new carpet, you've had toxins entering your body. If you smoke, or eat food from boxes or cans, you have toxins in your body. Basically, everyone needs to cleanse their liver!
Do you have an over-worked liver?
Sometimes someone with a liver problem will be diagnosed as having irritable bowel syndrome. Menopausal symptoms can often be solved by cleansing the liver.
What happens when your liver is clean?
Most people lose weight, and their triglyceride and cholesterol levels go down. They feel much younger. Their blood sugar normalizes. Skin rashes go away. They have normal bowel movements. They're full of energy!
Cut out fructose. High fructose corn syrup is in many foods (ketchup, soft drinks, spaghetti sauce etc.) Fructose is very destructive for your body. In my opinion, it will mess up your health or shorten your life. (Dr. Hyman and Dr. Mercola would agree).
Eat lots of vegetables. Raw vegetables are vital during a liver cleanse. Carrots, kale, cabbage, collards, brussels sprouts, broccoli, daikon radish, organic lettuce, and beets are some of the very best things you can eat to rejuvenate your liver. Garlic, onions and beans also help your liver to detoxify. Eat vegetables for every meal – even breakfast!
Eat the right fats: olive oil, coconut oil, macadamia nut oil, avocados, and fish oil. Eat lean meats while you are cleansing your liver, but lean meats are not the healthiest all the time. Animal fats can reverse tooth decay and heal digestion. So, after a period of liver cleansing, you'd want to add those healthy fats back in. Meals during a liver cleanse would often look like this: green vegetable, lean meat cooked in a healthy fat, carrots. Dessert could be fresh fruit (especially berries or granny smith apples). Fruit should be limited to 2 servings a day.
Exercise – Paula has FREE 5-Day challenge groups to teach you how to eat clean meals like this, and incorporate fitness into your daily routine.
and making fresh vegetable and fruit juices to drink every morning. This makes it much easier to get in more raw vegetables.
Consider doing castor oil packs. These have helped me a lot. They are wonderful for the liver.
The list above might seem imtimidating. But improving your liver health can bring about all kinds of other changes – like improved skin, digestion, and weight loss! If the liver is overworked it is really hard to maintain a healthy weight. If you struggle with many of the symptoms listed above, I would consider that your liver might need some support or cleansing. For some people healing the liver is the key to weight loss success!
Are you having trouble losing weight? Have you ever done a liver cleanse? Tell us about it!
Great article, but just one caveat. Juice extractors may not be the answer to cleansing the liver. Firstly, fruits often contain significant amounts of fructose, which, when consumed as whole fruits are not going to cause the high stress load on the liver that fruit juices without the fiber will. Secondly, it is possible to juice and consume many times the amount of fruit juice without the fiber, so insulin spikes and high fruictose load on the liver can be the result. Instead, making green smoothies with a blender which include some fruit is probably a better alternative.
That is a very important point about fruit! Too much fructose can be bad for the liver and blood sugar. I would definitely recommend being heavy on the vegetables and using only a little fruit. Some people would definitely benefit from abstaining from fruit juicing all together and concentrating only on vegetables.
Green smoothies can be very beneficial, and including the fiber would help lessen the insulin response. That would be a benefit to some people. Some people, however, also need digestive healing and wouldn't be able to handle the fiber.

Reaction to blocking GitHub and 425 sites in Ukraine
According to Facebook user Iryna Sadovnykova, GitHub is an American service that most IT companies use to synchronize code between programmers and which has been owned by Microsoft since 2018, And its blocked division Gist allows users to share not entire projects, but separate files.
"According to the Court's version, not even the service itself, but its small division committed grand fraud. How did it do it, you can ask? I don't know it either. Mrs. Judge Plahotniuc [the decision was made by Judge Plahotniuc K.—Ed. ], don't hold back, ban StackOverflow also, I know you want to do it. All IT work in Ukraine is already being paralyzed, why use only these half-measures? ", she wrote.
According to the Board Member of the Internet Association of Ukraine Oleksandr Glushchenko, such a decision is absurd, writes Ain.ua, adding that this is his personal opinion, and not InAU.
"This list includes both a network of "dump tanks" and an attempt to slip quite decent resources. And a complete lack of understanding by the judge or the National Police of the Internet work or even the logic of this process. And it is additionally not clear why telecommunications operators have any property rights posed from users? This practice has one side: any competitor can be deleted "under cover" by slipping them into such a decision," Glushchenko said.
Maksym Dvorovyi, a lawyer at the public organization Digital Security Laboratory, in turn, believes that the wording about "blocking property rights" is not based on Ukrainian legislation. In his words, according to international standards for human rights protection and Art. 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, blocking with such a wording will be recognized as not meeting the "prescribed by law" criterion.
Context. President Volodymyr Zelensky put into effect the NSDC decision of Fabruary 2, 2021. It provided sanctions against the TV channels NewsOne, ZIK, and 112 Ukraine.

http://www.bigleaguekickball.com/about/ buy Soma no prior script "Nothing will come of nothing: speak again!"
buying soma In the summer of 1993, as the result of a recurrent soft-tissue cancer in my thigh, my left leg—after three operations, literally as well as metaphorically, "a drag"—was amputated high above the knee. Here, taking a phenomenological approach, I want to attend to the extraordinary and radical expansion (not merely the presumed reduction) of my lived body's articulations of itself during the post-operative period when I was supposedly "missing" a leg and the subsequent period in which I learned to use and then "incorporate" my prosthetic leg. Indeed, during this time (as well as in the retrospective period in which I prepared this presentation), my body became for me an intimate "laboratory" in which I could examine, test, and reflect upon the experience and dynamics not only of so-called "phantom" sensations, but also of the relations between my body image and my bodily imagination, my body and language, and between the visible and invisible aspects of an irreducibly subjective and objective experience.
order Soma WITHOUT SCRIPT What follows, then, is a necessarily brief exploration of certain selected aspects of an on-going phenomenological autobiography of living what is usually, if problematically, called a "phantom limb." However, before I get to the specificities and conundrums posed by these dramatizations of the so-called "phantom," some preliminary remarks are in order—this particularly for those, in this interdisciplinary context, who are unfamiliar with existential phenomenology as an empirical method of describing, thematizing, and interpreting human experience, the latter emergent as meaningful to an irreducibly embodied consciousness always engaged in the intentional and reversible activity of perception and expression as its primary mode of being in the world (indeed, of having a world at all).
http://www.bigleaguekickball.com/category/press/ get soma cod First, a phenomenological approach seeks the meaning of experience not as a physiological or psychical abstraction but as it is always embodied and lived in context, its structure and significance emerging provisionally as the irreducible synthesis of the experience's subjective and objective aspects—these not only as they are lived and valued (in this instance) by me, but also as they are lived and valued by others. Thus, although it may reveal certain dimensions of experience hidden from objective view and often elided in discourse, subjective (or autobiographical) experience of a "phantom limb" is also intersubjective—and not to be privileged as either more or less "authentic" and "real" than the "phantom limb" as it is objectively lived and imagined by those who think that they do not have one. Indeed, given this non-hierarchal (or "horizontalized") emphasis, a phenomenological approach would also horizontalize the binary (and discursive) separation that divides the "phantom" from the "real." That is, the phenomena of experience—including "phantom limbs"—cannot be reduced to static and binary essences. Although experience of such phenomena may have certain invariant structural features, these will always also be qualified and given particular value by the mutable possibilities and constraints not only of biology but also of history and culture. As such, they must be seen as provisional forms that are inherently dynamic and open to myriad variations of being and meaning.
http://www.bigleaguekickball.com/advertise/ NOT EXPENSIVE Soma OVERNIGHT DELIVERY ~ ORDER Soma 3 DAYS DELIVERY Second, although phenomenological inquiry may begin with a particular experience, its aim is to describe and explicate the general or possible structures that make that experience resonant and comprehensible to others who might "imaginatively" inhabit it (even if in a differently-inflected or valued way). Although particular experiences may be idiosyncratic to a degree, they are also, and in the main, lived both generally and generically—generally, according to various inherent properties of embodied existence such as spatiality, temporality, intentionality, reflection, and reflexivity; and, generically, according to usually transparent cultural habits that regulate the boundaries of human being and its meanings. Thus, phenomenological inquiry attempts to describe the existential structure of a particular experience as an adequation to its more general possibilities. Even an instance so seemingly personal and generally anomalous as the bodily trauma of losing a limb and experiencing its invisible "phantom" finds us—to paraphrase Art Spiegelman, analogously traumatized and haunted by the "phantom" presence of New York's lost twin towers—"reeling on the faultline" where Personal History and General Existence collide.
Finally, and important here in regard to the very nomination "phantom limb," is language. Unlike certain strains of psychoanalysis, existential phenomenology does not regard language as a symbolic "substitute" for being, but rather understands it as a transcendent carnal gesture—that is, as an extension and elaboration of being that not only exteriorizes lived-body experience beyond its spatial and temporal boundaries but also is mimetic of its polymorphous structure. Which is to say, as our lived body experience—through gesture and action— is being concretely "figured" in the world, it is always also being imaginatively and discursively "figured out." Thus, autobiographical experience is always discursive and discursive experience autobiographical. And thus a phenomenological autobiography of my lived "phantom limb" as subjectively experienced must also be a tropological phenomenology of the "phantom limb" as objectively described—this latter to "defamiliarize" its normative figuration and revitalize its existential significance and intersubjective structure. Indeed, as Paul Ricoeur writes in The Rule of Metaphor, "If there is a point in our experience where living expression states living existence, it is where our movement up the entropic slope of language encounters the movement by which we come back this side of the distinctions between actuality, action, production, motion." There is, then, both a differential tension and a dynamic connection between the "phantom limb" as "a cultural trope and a material condition that indelibly affect[s] people's lives."
Shortly after my amputation, at the supermarket on crutches, I was confronted by the curious gaze of a lone little girl, probably not much older than three. "Where's your arm?" she asked. "You mean leg," I replied. She stared at the empty space beneath my skirt and persisted: "Where's your arm?" "You mean leg," I said again, trying to think of an explanation that would be comprehensible to a toddler. "My leg got sick. I had to take it to the hospital." As she was pondering this, her mother appeared and the child pointed at me and asked, "Where's her arm?" Clearly embarrassed more by the social situation than by her child's anatomical mistake, the mother nonetheless dealt with the supposed gaucherie of the former by apologizing for the latter. "I'm really sorry," she said, "I broke my arm last year. It was in a cast for a while and must have made quite an impression on her."
How do we learn our body parts—our bodies in parts? Lacanians speak about the first rough-casting of the ego in the "mirror-stage" of infancy as, among other primary processes of identification, the specular recognition of bodily integrity—the baby's jubilant comprehension of its unity giving rise, as well, to an apprehensive and retroactive fantasy of its body once in pieces. However, during infancy and toddlerhood (at least in Western cultures), it is also generally the case that parents and pre-schools, along with playing peek-a-boo (symbolically dramatizing the "fort/da" binary of "presence" and "absence"), teach babies their bodies in pieces. This literal and concrete formal lesson in corporeal objectivity links nomination through word, touch, and vision to a circumscribed and limited spatialization of the body that is, if not fragmented, then certainly segmented. Yet, insofar as we live our bodies transparently as a materialized but transcendent ensemble of enabling capacities rather than as an immanent and opaque hermeneutic problem, we do not explicitly feel or think of ourselves in parts—let alone, as a set of discontiguous appendages: "These are your eyes, now touch your ears, five little piggies went to market" and so on. (This is also generally true of persons who are "missing" a limb but do not necessarily feel they are "missing" anything.) Given this vague, rather than specific and particular, sense of our formal embodiment, it is thus not surprising that, like the little girl of my anecdote, children often confuse the names and forms and locations of "body parts" as such. Their difficulty comes from not inherently sensing their own bodily integrity as either a fixed form or a collection of localized segments.
Drew Leder, in his aptly-titled The Absent Body, points to both a certain stability of corporeal structure and "the mass of skills and functional tendencies" we have incorporated over time that allow our bodies' continual transformations sufficient continuity to generally recede to the background of our consciousness. This "primary absence" of our bodies is a tacit "self-effacement that first allows the body to open out onto a world." Leder, however, also points to ways in which we become more—not less—explicitly conscious of our bodies. Grounded upon our bodies' "primary absence," this "secondary absence" in which the body is directed away from its ordinary ecstatic being-toward-the world and "folds back upon itself" is what Leder calls the body's "dys-appearance." Corporeal self-presence thus becomes experienced not as the recessive ground of our being but rather dysfunctionally as its delineated figure. As Leder points out: "This presence is not a simple positivity. It is born from the reversal, from the absence of an absence." And although this absence of the body's "primary absence can find positive figuration in the corporeal self-absorptions of, for example, pregnancy, or in the self-awareness of learning a new motor skill, or in a seemingly "positive" game in which a parent teaches a baby to name and thus feel itself in parts, this "secondary absence" that is the body's foregrounded "dys-appearance" generally marks its most striking figures when we have experienced significant bodily trauma—like the amputation of a leg which has initially transformed a transparently-embodied capacity for movement into the forestalled and insistent self-presence of a now-problematic body part.
Which brings us, despite her anatomical mistake, to the gist of the little girl's question: Where was my leg? On the one hand (a tropological mistake), propped up on my sofa after surgery, looking at my body stretched out before me as an object, there was "nothing" there where my transparently absent left leg had been. On the other hand, feeling my body subjectively, along with significant (albeit not long-lived) pain, I most certainly experienced "something" here—the "something" sort of like my leg, but certainly not coincident with my memory of its form; and the "here" somewhere in the vicinity my leg had previously occupied, but not exactly coincident with its objective boundaries. Most prominent and clearly defined, I experienced my former foot: even two of the outer toes felt numb just as they had before the operation. However, I didn't feel anything more of the leg itself than a certain vague verticality (lying now on a horizontal plane); I had no formal sense of a knee and only the barest sense of an ankle and, of course, did not proprioceptively feel the weight of my thigh or sense some equivalent of my calf against the sofa cushion. The leg's connection to my bandaged stump was also ambiguous; there seemed to be a certain auratic area around the residual limb, a sort of vaguely-bounded band of space, a no-man's land separating two different senses of my body that would not be trespassed—at least until many months later, when I started walking with my prosthetic and it dissipated completely. Despite all this imprecision of location and vagueness of form, however, I also had the sense of the limb's spatial—and motor—constriction. Indeed, the more I consciously tried to "figure out" the limb's contours, the less successful I was—experiencing, instead, what felt like nothing being given a shape by the geometrically rigid and horizontal compression of what seemed like an externally-imposed plexi-glass block. Indeed, imaginatively riffing on his father's missing limb, David Wills' description is apposite here: "Nothing can be said to be present there within the bounds of a confinable space."
Rita Carter tells us in Exploring Consciousness, "A thing must have a boundary in order for us to name it, categorize it and deal with it….No-thing is, by definition, not a thing at all. But in order to have a concept of it, we have to make it a thing, which means giving it a boundary. Then, of course, we have to create a background 'thing' to distinguish the no-thing…and so on." Looking at the place from which the "thing" that was my objective leg was absent, "no-thing" was there. And, yet, the "dys-appearance" of my leg, however vague its boundaries, was subjectively experienced as a sense of self-presence now and here. Together, however, this objective absence and subjective "dys-appearance" did not make, to paraphrase Leder, a simple negativity; rather, in their conjunction, doubling, and reversals, they constituted a strange positivity: the presence of an absence. As Merleau-Ponty writes (evoking the toddler's anatomical focus): "The phantom arm is not a representation of the arm but the ambivalent presence of an arm….The phantom arm is not a recollection, it is a quasi-present and the patient feels it now…with no hint of it belonging to the past." In this case, then, King Lear's "Nothing will come of nothing: speak again!" resonates and we must speak again—but this time of my supposed "real" leg, the right one that visibly occupied space as some "thing" objectively there.
As I lay on my sofa or walked about on my crutches, I began to focus, with as much phenomenological specificity as possible, on my transparently "absent," rather than "dys-appeared," right leg—that is, in contrast to my left leg, on its general transparency and lack of self-presence. Indeed, I had to force myself to sense it explicitly even as I could clearly see its objective location and shape. (And, here, I would ask you to consider how you feel your own leg and how precisely—or not—it registers as a solid "thing" with objective boundaries.) As it happens, I have never had "knee" or "ankle" problems and so realized, when I bent these joints, that I hardly experienced their movement as a physical sensation at all; rather, these actions were accomplished and marked by a general sense of corporeal realignment—not of a "thing" but of a materialized ensemble of capacities in action. I also did not feel the specific weight of my thigh (the latter no more nor less sensed as the "thinglike, passive, inert,…mere object with no animating or receptive interiority" that Elizabeth Grosz attributes only to the "stump") ; nor did I sense the contour of my leg when it was not in physical contact with the "things" of the world that, through their external resistance, limned from the outside the specific shape of my limb. Thus, it is not surprising that, just as with my so-called "phantom," the most prominent sense I had of my right leg's specific shape and solid presence was my "foot"— that "part" of my leg that most regularly met and was spatially defined by the resistance of the ground. In sum, without either some corporeal problem or worldly contact, for all its fleshy solidity, I sensed my right leg as little more than a generally vague and hardly weighty verticality. Indeed, its general absence seemed a reverse, if transparent, mimicry of the "dys-appearance" of my so-called "phantom": I subjectively experienced the objective "some thing" there as my right leg as almost "no-thing" here at all. Nothing will come of "no-thing"—even when some "thing" is limbed as there.
Despite and because of their reversed inflection, there is, then, a form of adequation—and, indeed, possible reconciliation—that exists between my two legs: the so-called "phantom" and the so-called "real" one. We could say that the one carnally comprehends the other in lived-body experience and this adequation opens up its experiential structure as comprehensible to others not so physically disposed. Carter writes, "Our body-maps are 'built-in' rather than learned concepts, yet they are firmly grounded in the external world and remain intact only so long as they receive appropriate sensory feedback from physical interaction between the body and the environment." The consequential difference between my two legs (one undone by the reconciliation afforded by my prosthetic leg) is that, although both may carnally grasp the intentions and initial purpose of my motor projects, one had lost its capacity for physical interaction with the "practical field" of its environment and could not enact them. Forestalled from contact, as it were, it had lost touch with the world that gave it shape and, as is the case with most amputees, it began to lose the shape the world gave it. Otherwise, the phenomenological adequation of one leg to the other reveals to us (whichever side of an amputated limb you are on) that the subjective objectivity of lived-body perception and expression are highly ambiguous both in corporeal experience and language: "here" and "there," shifters like the word "I," are, indeed, shifty; "nothing" and "no-thing" are reversible rather than binary figures; the rigid separation of "presence" from "absence" is itself a phantom constituted by a solely visual logic; and the "real" and the "phantom" reverse themselves depending upon one's lived-body situation.
As Carter suggests, "Even the most immutable boundaries are created by us for convenience, rather than fixed in objective reality," and pointing to the fuzziness of the boundaries of embodied consciousness (or "self"), she continues: "[Body] maps sometimes get 'stuck' in a configuration that is incongruent with the real body—as with phantom limbs—but normally they adapt to match the changes in the physical body so well that we are unaware of their illusory nature." But even so-called "phantom limbs" adapt—not only to an impoverished commerce with the world but also to the possibilities afforded by a prosthetic. Indeed, over time, the "dys-appeared" phantom may diffuse its self-presenced discretion to become the transparent absence and integrity of one's habitual, if self-adjusting, body image.
Directly after surgery, like many amputees, I felt my left leg as shorter than it had objectively been. Phenomenologically (and tropologically), we could say that, materially "curtailed" and thus expressively "forestalled," the leg was perceptually experienced as "foreshortened." Over the course of time, however, and even before I learned to walk with a prosthesis, the length of this foreshortened limb began to shrink further, its prominently defined foot moving upward as if to intentionally and corporeally reconcile itself with my stump. Indeed, at one point, I remember quite distinctly the odd feeling of my foot where the transparency of not only my "real" but also my "phantom" knee had once been. Soon, moving further upward to my thigh, the foot stopped at the border of the previously-described "auratic" band of space between my fleshy residual limb and the residual limb that was my shrinking "phantom." It was as if the foot—in fleshy life separated from the thigh by the transparent leg (however long or short)—knew to keep its distance; and as if the thigh, in a strange dialectic that recognized the foot's different ontological status, refuted its half-hearted figural attempt to (re)incorporate itself literally—"in the flesh," so to speak.
Eventually my foot dissipated as such: no longer "dys-appeared," it became primarily "absent"—absorbed in my more transparent sense of my body as a materialized ensemble of capacities and resistances. Over time, as my foot lost its definition, at first I could voluntarily will it into sensed existence or, describing it to curious others with the focus demanded by description, I would involuntarily feel the foot reassert its self-presence. Later still, even these acts—voluntary or involuntary—became corporeally impossible to imagine—as with many amputees, my "level of control and sensation gradually decreas[ing] in conjunction with the telescoping phenomenon." The last time I felt my foot as such, however, was particularly remarkable—both phenomenologically and tropologically. Describing it to someone in the past tense since it had lost its presence, I initially felt "no-thing" as I spoke of sensing its vague shape, precise toes, and telescopic movement upward. Suddenly, however, using the active verb form "wiggling" in reference to my toes, the latter tingled into figural being—their carnal "entropy" momentarily reversed by the "living expression" of language on the hither side of, as Ricoeur says, "the distinctions between actuality, action, production, and motion." That wiggling of my toes, however, was their last specific grasp on being, their last wave "good-bye"—for, whether willfully or involuntarily, I have never been able to evoke their presence again.
Gail Weiss, in Body Images, writes: "That for most individuals, the phantom limb eventually does disappear…should not be understood as the 'triumph' of the body (or the specular image of the body) over the body image, but rather, as the construction of a new morphological imagination, one that offers new sites of projection and identification and new bodily possibilities." Thus, the eventual absence of my phantom as a sensed "specificity" does not mean that it has become fully coincident with my physical body as an objective and bounded "thing"—or that the material and immanent order of existence has "triumphed" over that transcendent order of existence that perceives and expresses itself as "no-thing" at all. Given that our lived bodies are the "hinge" between the immanent and transcendent, the objective and subjective, they do not come down on one side or other. Rather, my phantom's diffusion made way for another sense of incorporation—which brings me to my prosthesis and, with it, as Weiss suggests, a transformed morphological imagination that while formally new was also intentionally familiar.
What was formally new was a perceived shape of my left leg as I sat or walked with the prosthesis quite different from both my earlier "phantom" and its later diffusion. Although objectively—in specular terms—my stump is fleshy, round, and very short (occupying only the top third of the space between my hip and knee), my incorporation of the prosthesis and its grasp of my body has transformed my carnal imagination. My leg now has integrity: it is muscled, tapered, and elongated well beyond the end of the suction socket that is joined by a block to the hydraulic knee, titanium leg, and hard (but sprung) rubber foot. As a vague quasi-presence (when I focus on it rather than simply use it), it extends beyond the knee joint and then becomes absorbed in the dominant feeling of the resistance and springiness of my foot as it meets the ground. While I no longer feel discrete toes, I do feel the ball and heel of my foot. As Carter suggests: "The boundary of…sensory consciousness has pushed out to the place where it is needed." Thus the changed shape of my "phantom" (and it takes an act of will to call it that in this situation) enacts less a nostalgic longing, than an anticipatory lengthening towards the ground, the one expressing a focalization on what was once there but is now missing, the other a mobilization of capacities to fulfill a present intention.
Now, I primarily sense my leg as an active, quasi-absent, whole. That is, unless there is a rare prosthetic problem (akin to an event such as getting a blister on one's heel), I do not feel a "place" where the flesh of my stump comes to an end and the material of my prosthesis begins. Indeed, whether I am sitting or walking, there seems only the slightest difference, the merest "echo," between my two legs. Rather, their expressive reciprocity in the intentional and active ensemble of my corporeal alignment and movement is perceived as a general "seamlessness" in my comportment and its realized action—this including the cane I have also incorporated as part of my new corporeal stability.
Nonetheless, although this imaginative figuration of my morphology was newly incorporated in form and offered "new sites of projection and identification and new bodily possibilities," it was also familiar in function—and thus, phenomenologically, it is not a contradiction to say that my corporeal figuration was, at once, both new and renewed. Radically transformed in perceived shape, my diffused "phantom" both figuratively and functionally elongated and grew into the hollow of my prosthetic socket—occupying, thickening, and substantiating it, finally "grasping" it so that it made sense to me and became corporeally integrated and lived as my own. And while my "phantom" again took form to animate the prosthesis, the prosthesis reciprocally "grasped" my bodily imagination of animation—and materially articulated it in the long-familiar gestures of standing and walking on the concrete ground of my world.
Indeed, my prosthesis again opened for me what Merleau-Ponty calls the "practical field" unrealized by but still familiar to the "phantom"—and thus I became once again "open to [nearly] all those actions" of which the legs "alone are capable." In this regard, Merleau-Ponty might be speaking not only of "phantom" but also of "prosthetic" limbs when he writes: "What is found behind the phenomenon of substitution is the impulse of being-in-the-world….[This impulse] presents only a practical significance; it asks only for bodily recognition; it is experienced as an 'open' situation…and it is precisely what allows the limbs to be substituted for each other and to be of equal value before the self-evident demands of the task." Indeed, in this regard, he might well be speaking also of most people's two original legs which "substitute" each for the other all the time; standing and walking, each bears equal weight and value in their mimetic reciprocity, the joint—and thus transcendent—cadence of their gait attuned and responsive to the immanent demands of their intentional task. "Phantom" limbs, "prosthetic" limbs, "real" limbs: their difference is one of degree, not kind—and less in function than in material substance.
Thus, the phenomenological "substitution" of which Merleau-Ponty speaks is not a "substitution" conceived in the negative terms of perceptual failure or psychic "mourning work" or "nostalgia." I don't walk around feeling incomplete or like something is missing even without my prosthesis insofar as I can, if I will, stand to my height and walk (even with crutches). My residual limb and its image are part of my whole bodily being not merely as a visible physical object but also as a transcendent subject who lives her life and performs her habitual tasks in an embodied state of absent positivity. Thus, as Weiss eloquently summarizes: "The phantom limb is only a more extreme form of a phenomenon that all of us experience on a daily basis, namely, the attempt to maintain a certain bodily equilibrium in the face of continual changes in both our body and our situation."

text: In the hours of crude and misogynistic sex talk Trump engaged in when he appeared on The Howard Stern Show, one of the most common topics of discussion were famous women. Trump and Stern would often rate, rank, and describe in sexual terms female celebrities. In appearances reviewed by CNN's KFile, Trump also told Stern he would pay not to receive oral sex from Rosie O'Donnell and teased a recently-deceased Anna Nicole Smith for her large lips. A Trump campaign spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment on this story. The GOP nominee has faced widespread criticism for his past comments on women and sex. Last Friday, a 2005 "Access Hollywood" tape surfaced in which Trump, caught on hot mic, bragged about forcing himself on women and grabbing them by their genitals. Trump issued an apology for the comments in a video statement, but has continuously referred to the exchange as "locker room talk." CNNs KFile reported on Saturday that Trump, on Stern's show, approved of the radio shock jock calling his daughter, Ivanka, a "piece of ass" and described how he would go backstage at his pageants while contestants were naked. The Trump campaign has not responded to a CNN request for comment on that story. On Lindsay Lohan: In an appearance on Stern's show in December 2004, Trump initiated a conversation about actress Lindsay Lohan, who was 18 at the time. "What do you think of Lindsay Lohan?" Trump asked Stern. "I think she's hot," responded Stern. "There's something there right?" Trump said. "But you have to like freckles. I've seen a, you know, close up of her chest and a lot of freckles. Are you into freckles?" "I'm not into freckles, but the red hair thing I like. I like her on the cover of Entertainment Weekly," said Stern. "Now does the father wreck, does that bother you a little bit?" Trump asked later in the conversation. "Howard feels that the father being a wreck is a good thing," interjected co-host Robin Quivers. "Oh yeah, because first of all, if the father's a wreck like the way he is–" Stern said. "Right," said Trump. "Can you imagine the sex with this troubled teen?" said Stern. "Yeah, you're probably right," Trump said. "She's probably deeply troubled and therefore great in bed. How come the deeply troubled women, you know, deeply, deeply troubled, they're always the best in bed?" Stern responded, "Because they're looking for love, they're looking for positive affirmation, they're looking for a father figure who will love them and tell them they're wonderful and they'll never be enough. No matter many times you tell them they're beautiful, no matter how many times you tell them you love them they want to suck it up more. They would drain you like a vampire until your head caved in if they could get more love." "Well I have a friend Howard who's actually like a great Playboy, I mean, I don't say this about men, this guy does very well," said Trump. "He runs silent, runs deep as they say, like a submarine. He will only look for a crazy women. He says, 'Donald, Donald, please, please, I only want the crazy women.'" "They're desperate," adds Stern. "What is this guy all about," said Trump. "But for some reason, what I said is true. It's just unbelievable. You don't want to be with them for long term, but for the short term there's nothing like it." On Rosie O'Donnell: In a February 2007 episode, Trump took aim at Rosie O'Donnell, who he had a long running feud with, saying he'd pay lots of money to not receive oral sex from her. "Is there nothing she could do to get back in your good graces? If she came in and blew you?" asked Stern. "No, I'd pay a lot of money for that not to happen," Trump responded. "That's one of the most unattractive people. She took great offense at the fact I said she better be careful or I, or one of one friends would go and pick up her wife." On Anna Nicole Smith: Also in the February 2007 episode, Trump eventually moved on to Anna Nicole Smith, who had died four days earlier. "It looks like she had the lips pumped," Trump said. "For all of your many women listening why do women have their lips pumped? It is the most disgusting thing to look at these big fat pumped up tires." Trump's distaste for women with big lips extended beyond Smith. In March 2011, Trump told actress Lisa Rinna on "Celebrity Apprentice" he thought she she looked better because her lips had" a little reduction there." He followed up on the comments on YouTube. "I give her a little hard time. You know, she had those big puffed up lips, I don't know why women do that, but the lips we're like, gigantic," Trump said in a video on his YouTube blog. "It even affected her speech. And I see it so often in new York, especially in society women. A lot of them are good looking women, and then they show up one day and their lips are five times their size." CNNMoney (New York) First published October 14, 2016: 11:39 AM ET

Bhubaneswar: Hackers create havoc among the banks of twin city after they hacked several off-site machines and burgled huge amount of cash.
The hackers though failed, made an attempt for a cyber theft at Corporation Bank ATM counter on Sunday near Vivekananda Marg in Bhubaneswar.
However, Commissionerate Police revealed that a similar theft attempt has been reported in the city on February 24. The robbery received attention after over Rs 17 lakh was burgled from Corporation Bank ATM in Cuttack on Saturday.
As per sources, Police commissioner Y B Khurania convened a meeting on Sunday with authorities of all the banks, Officers of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and ATM service providers to seek a hi-tech security system for avoiding hackers from cracking the ATM software.
The series thefts were attempted on ATM machines of a particular manufacturer named NCR while Mphasis was reported as service provider for the off-site machines.
While the service providers have an online monitoring system for ATMs to detect theft, the burglars managed to escape after taking away the cash.
Besides this, the service providers and banks have been asked to upgrade the operating system to Windows 7 for strengthening the security firewall.

And here it is... a little recap of our long weekend in Texas. Better late than never!
Alex is a native Texan and we decided that we were long overdue for a little visit with his family in Dallas. We also decided that we'd better plan a trip before summer in Texas... you may not be aware (and I say this sarcastically), but Texas is hot. Very hot. It was 90 degrees and humid for all of this May weekend. Ick.
But, we survived. And we had quite the busy weekend in the Big D!
On our first day in Dallas we headed off to lunch and one of my favorite weekend getaway activities: afternoon cocktailing! We stopped into Mockingbird Taproom in Upper Greenville. It's a cool upscale sports bar with a huge beer selection and fun variety of cocktail options. Since I'll order anything with St. Germain in it, the Germain & Juice-- grapefruit juice, St. Germain, and gin-- had my name on it. It was the perfect refreshing cocktail for a steamy Dallas afternoon.
After our afternoon cocktails we headed over to Southern Methodist University to visit the newly opened George W. Bush Presidential Center. I've never had the chance to visit a presidential library before (even though I lived in Boston a few T stops away from Kennedy Library... shame), so this left me feeling quite patriotic.
It's a small museum, so it was easy to see it all in under an hour and it was an interesting tour through W's life and his legacy as a president. Some of it was more lighthearted-- like the work he and Mrs. Bush did to promote education, which was depicted with an interactive library of her favorite children's books and also with this play school bus intended for children that my husband and brother-in-law decided to take for a test drive.
Other parts of the museum were more serious, like the exhibit dedicated to the September 11th tragedies. It was pretty striking-- and moving-- to see the twisted columns from the original World Trade Center on display in the center of the space.
The first was a delicious (and pretty!) roasted beet salad-- colorful beets and greens served with goat cheese, walnuts, and lavendar honey. And the second was what they called Pig & Fig: Pork belly served with blue corn grits, blue cheese, and BBQ fig sauce. It was perfectly sweet/smoky/salty. Other menu highlights (for me) included the Moth Balls-- sort of a ricotta gnudi/matzo ball mash up and also the Fried Hominy-- another seemingly odd offering, but it was great. I might describe them as being like sweet and spicy tiny tater tots.
Dessert is a highlight of any and every meal for me and Meddlesome Moth's didn't disappoint. We shared a rich bread pudding with salted caramel sauce and a chocolate stout cake with whipped cream and fresh berries. I'd reccomend either one if you stop in and they are offering them!
After dinner, we hung out for a few hours on Meddlesome Moth's patio and caught up with friends. Some of Alex's childhood buddies showed up and some of my work clients that are based in Dallas showed up too-- including Holly from Imperfectly Balanced!
On Saturday we wandered around Dallas's Arts District in the sweltering heat. I was an especially big fan of the Klyde Warren Park, which had a very Chicago-esque feel to it. It's modern with lots of great gathering and performance spaces and it is home to what I am told is Dallas' fledgeling foodtruck culture.
After that we spent the afternoon in the air conditioning at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, which reminded me a lot (in terms of the exhibits) of Chicago's Field Museum. It is a little more interactive though and a lot of the exhibits include Texas-specific content, which was cool.
We followed our museum visit with a late lunch at Meso Maya, to fulfill the Mexican food craving that Alex always has during a trip to Texas. I had some delicious shrimp tacos, but honestly, I could have gone just for the fresh tortilla chips and guacamole along with a the fresh strawberry and serano margarita. Totally refreshing and just what I needed after a busy day.
We ended our weekend with a visit to Top Golf on Sunday morning. Top Golf is an upscale driving range-- think what Lucky Strike is to your typical bowling alley. It's all computerized so that you can keep score if you're competing with friends and they have a full food and drink menu, loungey furniture, TVs, and music... it actually made me want to be athletic, which does not often happen. And the biggest newsflash: I am not terrible at golf.
And now you know why I have been so sleepy this week. What a busy weekend!


Coca-Cola reminds me of so much of summer. Growing up we went boating on the Ottawa River every weekend all summer long. I remember popping open a cold can of Coca-Cola or Sprite and quenching my thirst on a hot, humid Ontario summer day. My dad always kept his cooler well-stocked with pop and snacks. Coca-Cola is an iconic brand that I associate with summer fun and being happy. And now I have another chance to reminisce with the newly launched limited edition collection of nail lacquers from OPI. Coca-Cola by OPI is available in spas and salons starting in June 2014. I think a summer launch is fitting for this exciting new partnership!
This new collection features a wide range of colours that are inspired by popular brands of The Coca-Cola Company. They are much more than just the red can of Coca-Cola. There's Sprite, Coke Zero, Cherry Coke and even Fanta Grape and Fanta Orange. Those last two I didn't realize they were part of the brand until learning about this collection. The colour are a good mix from classic red (no surprise there!), metallic silver, cream, citrus green and more.
Below is the list of the all the shades of the collection including the brand that inspired them.
Coca-Cola Red (inspired by Coca-Cola): Classic red- always in style, always perfect.
A Grape Affair (inspired by Fanta Grape): Make a big-to-do in this deepest, darkest purple.
My two favourites are the shades inspired by Vanilla Coke. I think the soft pink of Sorry I'm Fizzy Today is pretty and feminine. I was most intrigued by the cream coloured You're So Vain-illa. At first glance I thought it was just an off-white. It's not though. It reminds me of creamy café au lait. It's muted, classy and unique. If I was any good at doing nail art, I'd probably do something with this colour and the classic red. I think the two of them together would really make a bold statement.
Like I mentioned above, you'll be able to buy the shades in this collection starting in June 2014 at professional salons and spas across the country. They have an SRP of $10.95/bottle.
I have a few other tidbits of information that I wanted to pass along. Also coming out is The Coca-Cola 10 Pack of Style set featuring 8 shades in mini bottles along with a a mini OPI Top Coat and mini OPI Original Nail Envy. This mini pack will retail for $29.95. My daughter is turning 16 this July and think it would make a nice birthday gift.
Coca-Cola by OPI will also be available as a GelColor formula starting in June as well. However, you can only try it at a salon since it's an in-salon, professional service only. When you get a pedicure or manicure done, ask if the salon offers it.

I love O.P.I's polish & their names. Right now my toes are Cajun Shrimp. They'll probably be that way all summer. I love the name. I hope your having a great Saturday!
I love Orange You Fantastic! I always love a glitter!
I like Opi nail polish because they have so many wonderful colors. I like the Sorry I'm Fizzy Today (inspired by Vanilla Coke) color. I want to try it!
A Grape Affair is my favorite! Fabulous colors!
How very cool! Beautiful colors 🙂 I will definitely be on the lookout for these!!
It amazes me how OPI keeps coming up with colours and lines. I'm always interested in what they will come up with next.
I wore some sparkly gold polish last month for a banquet I attended. First time in about 20 years that I've had polish on my nails. Not into nail polish.
I see OPI went it did it again, some more awesome colours!!
This is an interesting OPI collection inspired by COke and I also do like the look of the Vanilla cream on your nails.
Love Opi nail polish and these are all great colours.
I totally love the colours! Beautiful!
Wow, I like a lot of these shades!! Awesome!!
These colours are perfect! Love them!!
It's refreshing to see someone who has the same talent as me at applying nail polish. I tried enlisting my boyfriend to help, because he likes to paint miniatures, but he was even worse. Glad to know not everyone is a talented nail artist!
Awww, what fun colors! I always did like OPI (and their collections/names. Seriously whoever comes up with this stuff is pretty creative). Their polish doesn't tend to chip as much with me either which is nice.
In any event, I think this is such a cute line! Whoever comes up with the lines/names for these polishes is pretty darn creative. Also the vanilla looks pretty on you!
What fizzy and summery fun! Love the idea of colors inspired by our favorites. It really helps to bring back memories as we paint our nails and show them off. This looks like a great collection that I want to try.
What gorgeous colours! Love A Grape Affair, in particular!
Great product and great names. Who knew there would be a great line of nail polish with pop names for the colors. Must admit, Not me.
I have heard that OPI is a great nail polish. I love all of the fun colors they make.
