More than 1 billion people in 149 countries are threatened by neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Some of them are contagious, and many are transmitted by unclean drinking water, animals, and insects. They can lead to blindness, disability, and even death. One of these deadly infectious diseases is rabies. This World Rabies Day, join Global Citizen to learn more about NTDs and take action on issues related to health here.
When William Tasiame saw a young boy infected with rabies, he knew the child was going to die.
"He gasped for breath, hiding his face from the light. I knew the symptoms from dogs, they are similar. It is a sad death and it was the worst thing I have seen in my life," Tasiame told Global Citizen.
Tasiame studied veterinary medicine in Cuba, before going back to his home country of Ghana, where he worked as a veterinarian for 12 years. Today, he is doing research for his doctoral thesis on rabies under Christian Drosten at the Charité in Berlin, Germany.
Although rabies had always been an interest in Tasiame's professional life, it wasn't until he saw that child suffering from it with his own eyes that he decided he would dedicate his research and all his energy to fighting it.
Once a person begins to show signs of having rabies, it will almost always lead to death. Signs and symptoms include headaches, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, or cough. But they also include confusion, difficulty swallowing, hallucinations, and a fear of water, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Rabies is almost always transmitted by infected animals, mostly dogs or wild animals, such as foxes, bats, and raccoons. The virus travels through the nerves to the spinal cord and brain. It usually takes three to eight weeks between initial contact with the virus and the onset of symptoms.
Children Are Most at Risk
"Rabies is a very brutal disease that mainly affects children — and there is nothing you can do about it. There are no active ingredients or medication to combat it. Once the brain is affected, it's too late," Tabea Binger, laboratory manager of the Kumasi Center for Collaborative Research, a research facility of the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine in Ghana, told Global Citizen.
Like Tasiame, Binger also wrote her doctoral thesis under Christian Drosten. She focused on viruses that infect bats and that can be transmitted to humans — one of which is the rabies virus.
Having studied the virus so intensively, Binger explained that she has been vaccinated against rabies and that every year, she was tested to ensure that the protection provided by the vaccine was still sufficient.
Today is #WorldRabiesDay#Rabies kills one person every 9 minutes - most of the victims are children.
Our time to act is now! https://t.co/M74Jg5q9dHpic.twitter.com/cmBvn8gtZ7
— World Health Organization (WHO) (@WHO) September 28, 2020
"Most people do not have this luxury," she said. "But they actually need this vaccination urgently."
Rabies is one of the diseases on the World Health Organization's (WHO) list of NTDs. These diseases are most common in tropical regions, where access to health care or water and sanitation is often poor in global comparison.
There are solutions to some of these diseases readily available, but NTDs are not prioritized globally. And while some pharmaceutical companies have donated treatments and worked to tackle these diseases, there is minimal research and development being conducted on NTDs as there is no market for the drugs.
There is no effective drug against rabies. There is a vaccine, but it requires three doses per person, which can be difficult to deliver in areas with little access to health care.
More than 59,000 people die every year worldwide from this NTD, with 95% of human cases occurring in Africa and Asia, according to the WHO.
"With the polio [vaccine], it is only three drops to swallow. Here in Ghana, polio workers go from door to door to distribute the vaccine to every child under 5 years of age. I have a little daughter who has just had this done," Binger explained. "But, unfortunately, there is no such simple vaccine against rabies for humans."
What makes it all the more tragic is that more than 40% of the rabies cases affect children under 15 — and most of them are caused by a dog bite, Tasiame added.
Diagnosing rabies is also a challenge as there are no efficient or cost-effective rapid tests available. This means that doctors have to find alternative methods to confirm if a child has been bitten and infected by an animal.
"Children often say that they didn't tease the dog so that they don't get into trouble — it just happened that he bit out of the blue. But that makes it difficult for us to find out whether the dog had rabies or not," Tasiame said. "The only thing us vets can do is go to the village and find the dog — then I can know for certain whether it was a sick dog or not."
Vaccines Are the Only Line of Defense
Theoretically, it is possible to administer a post-bite vaccine to prevent death from rabies.
"This does not work very well in Ghana. As a doctor, you have to know that the patient actually has rabies. You have to be able to obtain the vaccine — because it is usually only available in the capital, Accra, but the cases occur far away, in the very north of Ghana, more than 13 hours by car," Binger said.
It is also impossible to vaccinate all children that have received a dog bite as the vaccine is far too expensive.
That is why attempts are being made to instead vaccinate the disease vectors — in Ghana, this generally means dogs.
"The primary solution to rabies is to vaccinate as many dogs as possible," Tasiame said.
The vaccine for dogs costs about $1.75 per vaccination, according to Tasiame, which is significantly cheaper than the one for humans, which he said costs more than $100.
"In Ghana, the method is particularly useful because there are hardly any street dogs here — every dog has an owner. We just have to get hold of the dogs and raise enough money to vaccinate enough dogs," Tasiame said.
The government of Ghana has not done much to address this health crisis, according to Tasiame. The vet says that the last government-initiated vaccination campaign against rabies in Ghana took place in the 1970s.
Protecting Dogs Will Help Protect Humans
Last year, Tasiame launched a vaccination campaign to educate about the disease and vaccinate dogs free of charge.
"The people who are most exposed to rabies infection are poor people. The area where I started the campaign is in the north of Ghana, a poor area. I went there for the first time last year. It feels like driving to the end of the world. The roads are bad, water and electricity supplies, and health care are a problem," Tasiame said. "Last year, we vaccinated 650 dogs, but that is not enough. Statistics show that we have 1.4 million dogs in Ghana."
About 70% of the dogs would have to be vaccinated to provide sufficient protection — and this would need to be done every year.
"This year, we have collected enough money to vaccinate about 1,000 dogs — most of it comes from friends," Tasiame said, adding that him and his team have also launched a small appeal and set up a function that allows people to donate via SMS.
Through word of mouth, Tasiame and his team encourage dog owners to bring their dogs for vaccination on World Rabies Day and the weekend before in Bongo, Zerko, and Belungu, three villages in the north of Ghana. The campaign takes place in a well-known place in each village so that it's easy for everyone to find.
Tasiame's wish is for the world to see the issue and take action on it.
"Most people who die of rabies live in rural areas — they have no education, no water, no road network," he said. "And they still have to die of a disease that could be prevented with vaccines. That hurts me the most."

The first time I went to Ireland and met John's family I was a bit overwhelmed with their accents, especially those in the North. And it's not just the way they pronounce words; it's their colloquialisms.
For instance, when they introduced Sharon to me, she was called "Our Sharon". And believe me it didn't sound like our Sharon. It was more like "R Shrn". So to me, she is still R Shrn.
After that I started calling John, My John.
Those of you who have been following my blog know I haven't introduced John in my story yet. It's coming, so be patient. We had an interesting beginning, for sure.
But I can tell you who he is.
My John is the kind of man who wants to do the right thing. Not that he always does, mind you, but his heart is in the right place. He sees people as mostly good, and is amazed by how kind people are.
I think that's a reflection of who he is.
He can strike up a conversation with just about anyone, and there have been times he was late for an appointment, because he spent too much time chatting with a fella he'd just met at the gas station.
He's the first person to jump up and help too. At his Uncle's funeral, he saw his Aunt falter in her step ever so slightly, and in a flash he was up out of the church pew and at her side.
My John loves his family more than anything in the world. Even motorcycles or skateboards. He is very close to his siblings, but when he talks about his brother, Brian, it's as though he's talking about Superman.
My John would stop a train for his kids. Back when I was dating, guys would get a little uncomfortable when I would say, "my kids come first". When I said that to John, he said, "oh absolutely, always". We high-fived and it's been like that ever since.
He loves my family too. If anyone in my family needs help, he'd be there. One time my sister's motorhome broke down while she was on her way from Oregon to the Salton Sea, and My John drove two hours and fixed it, right there in the parking lot.
I heard my youngest granddaughter introduce him to one of her friends one day. She said, "This is… My John". I thought that was just perfect.
He sounds so wonderful. I'm so happy for your both to have found each other and to be so in love. Enjoy this happy day!
He is! Thank you Cindy!
What a great birthday card for your John. Lovely, and loving, words.
I am so happy we all met too Hilda! And thank you, we have a couple of good ones, don't we!?
Playing catch up on your blog this morning! Happy belated birthday to "your John!" So glad you two found each other and it's a joy to read your life story as it unfolds. But I do know the story of your meeting John, so if it wasn't in your blog, where did I read it? I think I read some of his writings first, so maybe it was there?
Thank you Mary. And, yes you must have read some of John's posts.
It all worked out…but oh what a ride!
What a beautiful post about "Your John"'!
Thank you Julie….I sure am glad I finally found him!


Are you looking to connect more authentically with yourself and others? Would you like to feel more alive? Do you love the natural world? Or do you just want to spend some reflective, quiet, fun times in the wilderness in the company of like-minded people? Mindfulness of Nature retreats, workshops and holidays may be just what you are looking for!
My name is Claire Thompson and I believe that looking into nature within us and around us is the key to bringing forth a happier, more authentic, more peaceful and sustainable world, which inspired me to become the author of Mindfulness and the Natural World and The Art of Mindful Birdwatching.
Through Mindfulness of Nature, I run mindfulness workshops, holidays and courses around the world for a variety of audiences with the aim of pursuing my passion for reconnecting people with themselves and the natural world. I also aim to reveal that Mindfulness of Nature involves lots of fun!
I connected to nature in a whole new way during Claire's retreat. I experienced the interconnectedness of the natural world, my sense of belonging there, and a renewed connection with my authentic self. I also had lots of fun and felt completely at ease to be who I really am. I also laughed alot and had a huge amount of fun! A memorable experience all round!
What a wonderful week in nature!!! Relaxed atmosphere, where every day had it's structure but nothing felt imposed and everything was just flowing naturally and beautifully. Don't expect that somebody will be telling you how to appreciate and enjoy nature :) This whole week was an invitation to be and to be with and to allow things to come to you. I felt in a completely safe environment where everything and everybody invites you to just 'let go'. Through little, enjoyable exercises and games I had a chance to experience myself, the people around me and my surrounding in new, refreshing ways. I warmly recommend this experience of Mindfulness of Nature retreat. No words would do a justice to the beauty of the Alps, so I'm not going to even attempt because I'm left speechless every time I try to describe it :) Moalm offers just the right setting. Friendly staff, great and healthy food, welcoming atmosphere - everything just enhances this personal experience of nature. This week was the loveliest gift I could have given to myself and I'm grateful to Claire for this opportunity.

Strike Zone from Yankees/Twins Game 2: Advantage Twins
Posted in Baseball Statistics, Yankee News, Yankee Players, Yankees Blogs, Yankees Game Recap, Yankees Media, Zell's Pinstripe Blog, Zell's Pinstripe Forum, tagged 2010, ALDS, Andy Pettitte, Carl Pavano, Curtis Granderson, Hunter Wendelstedt, Lance Berkman, Playoffs, Strike Zone, Twins, Yankees on October 7, 2010| 14 Comments »
During and after yet another playoff victory for the Yankees over the Twins, the main story line for TBS and ESPN wasn't Andy Pettitte's terrific pitching performance or Berkman and Granderson's offensive production…no, instead it was the strike called ball to Berkman in the 7th inning before his go-ahead double. What TBS and most other media outlets failed to report is during that at bat, the first pitch called a strike was actually a ball and for most of the night Pavano benefited from a very friendly strike zone. Below is the strike zone from tonight's game (via Brooksbaseball.net):
Hunter Wendelstedt had a bad night
(Each pitch is represented by a single dot. Green dots are balls and red dots are strikes. Pitches marked as belonging to a particular team (for example "min" or "nya") are designated with different shapes. These teams represent the pitching team, not the batting team. So, a pitch marked "nya-Called Strike" was thrown by a Yankees pitcher)
Twins pitchers had 14 balls called strikes
Yankee pitchers had 2 balls called strikes
Twins pitchers had 6 strikes called balls
Yankees pitchers had 5 strikes called balls
So while the media won't let the facts get in the way of a good story, its clear the Yankees and not the Twins got the short-end of the strike zone stick last night.

Here are two books that are set for release in the near future:
THE LAST BOY: MICKEY MANTLE: AND THE END OF AMERICA'S CHILDHOOD
Hardcover: 480 pages : Publisher: Harper (October 12, 2010)
"Award-winning sports writer Jane Leavy follows her New York Times runaway bestseller Sandy Koufax with the definitive biography of baseball icon Mickey Mantle. The legendary Hall-of-Fame outfielder was a national hero during his record-setting career with the New York Yankees, but public revelations of alcoholism, infidelity, and family strife badly tarnished the ballplayer's reputation in his latter years. In The Last Boy, Leavy plumbs the depths of the complex athlete, using copious first-hand research as well as her own memories, to show why The Mick remains the most beloved and misunderstood Yankee slugger of all time."
"Candid, compassionate…the best of the Mantle biographies." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
The Beauty of Love (Foreword by Joe Torre): A Memoir of Miracles, Hope, and Healing
Hardcover: 304 pages : Publisher: Atria (August 31, 2010)
"JORGE and LAURA POSADA were accustomed to being on top of the world. After a romantic courtship, the lives of these newlyweds were filled with unimaginable success and joy. But all of that changed when their first-born son was diagnosed with craniosynostosis, a birth defect that causes an abnormally shaped skull. Their priorities swiftly changed, as Jorge and Laura navigated their way through the challenges of their son's diagnosis and eventual treatment, which has included eight major surgeries. Laura stayed home with her son, while Jorge suffered in silence as he tried to stay strong under the pressure to perform as a Yankees baseball player.Amid their fear, confusion, and anxiety as young parents, they decided to keep their son's sickness a secret to protect him from a media frenzy, but in time they realized it was this very celebrity status that would allow them to make a difference—not only for patients with craniosynostosis but for people suffering from any type of illness. They decided to open the Jorge Posada Foundation to help kids with the same condition, a decision that gave new meaning to their lives. Before being a celebrity athlete or a lawyer, Jorge and Laura are a father and a mother, a husband and a wife—and the fortitude and foundations of their family values have helped them face even the worst of days. The Beauty of Love is more than a memoir about dealing with childhood illness—it is a heartfelt and uplifting illustration of how a couple can endure stress and strife and come out stronger on the other side."
"The sacrifices that Laura and Jorge endured for their son will resonate with parents everywhere. It's impossible to not be moved by The Beauty of Love." — KELLY RIPA, co-host of Live with Regis and Kelly
AL East Standings Update: 8/28/10
Posted in Yankee News, Yankees Outlook, Yankees Postseason, Yankees vs. Red Sox, tagged 2010, AL East, AL East Standings, AL Wild Card, Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, Major League Baseball, MLB, New York Yankees, Postseason, Tampa Bay Rays, Toronto Blue Jays on August 28, 2010| Leave a Comment »
With 34 games left to play, the Yankees and Rays are tied for first place. The Red Sox stand 4.5 GB, and have played one more game than both Tampa and New York. Some will say the Sox are already out, while other fans think you can't say that until they are mathematically eliminated. The Blue Jays and Orioles are already out of the race.
With a few weeks left in the season, the race is tightening and it should make for an exciting finish. I don't think there's a debate on whether the Yankees are making the postseason, but rather how they will get in. Will they take the East or Wild Card?
Is Mo Having the Best Season of His Career?
Posted in Baseball Statistics, Yankee News, Yankee Players, Yankees Opinion, tagged 1995 ALDS, 2010, Enter Sandman, Mariano Rivera, New York Yankees on August 22, 2010| 6 Comments »
Since bursting onto the scene in the 1995 ALDS versus the Mariners, Mariano Rivera has been nothing short of spectacular. After a decade and a half of sheer excellence, it almost becomes hard not to take Rivera for granted. We all know the drill, Enter Sandman, 2 or 3 broken bats on the cutter, perhaps a flare hit or two, and the vast majority of the time Rivera is walking off the mound shaking Jorge's hand after another Yankees victory. However, the most amazing part of Mo's career is that arguably at the ripe age of 40, he is having the best season of his HOF career, yet somehow it is flying under the radar. Let's look at the numbers.
His ERA this season is 1.18, which would be the lowest of his 16 year career (previous low 1.38 ERA in 2005)
His WHIP this season is 0.723, which would be the 2nd lowest of his career (previous low 0.665 WHIP in 2008)
Mo has a 341 ERA+ this year which is the best of his career (previous best was in 2008 with a 319 ERA+). To put that number into perspective, Mo's career 205 ERA+ is the all-time leader!
Thus far, Mo has only allowed 1 HR in 45.2 IP this year. His previous low was in 2005 when he allowed 2 HR in 78.1 IP or 1 HR/39 IP.
Currently Mo is allowing 5.1 H/9 which would be the lowest of his career. (previous best 5.2 H/9 in 2008)
Mo's career splits versus LHB is .205 AVG/.256 OBP/.261 SLG and against RHB .214/.268/.319. This season Mariano versus RHB (granted small sample size: 86 AB) is .128/.176/.186. In those 86 AB he has allowed only 11 hits with 27 Ks and only 2 BB.
Strong arguments can also be made for 1996 being Mo's best year (highest single season WAR – 5.4 with 107 IP and a 2.09 ERA) as can the 2004, 2005 or 2008. No matter which you pick however, they're all tremendous seasons put together by the greatest reliever of all-time. So which do you think is Rivera's best ever? I'll say 2010.

Park in St Albans opens new play equipment
Published on: 17th July 2019 | By: News Bulletin | Category: Uncategorized
Greenwood Park has opened new play equipment and has been recognised as one of the UK's very best green spaces.
Greenwood Park in Chiswell Green has two achievements to celebrate, St Stephen Parish Council have installed exciting new play equipment, which is proving irresistible to younger children and the council has just heard that the park has been recognised by the Green Flag Award Scheme.
The new play equipment includes a 'hillfort' promoting imaginative play and, nestled in a new sandpit, a wide slide, interactive climbing frames with a large variety of play activities including fun ways of moving the sand around.
A local childminder said: "I'm so happy about this, I love Greenwood Park anyway but now it's even more suitable for the under-five's."
The park is among a record-breaking 1,970 UK parks and green spaces and 131 in thirteen other countries around the world, that will today receive a prestigious Green Flag Award – the mark of a quality park or green space.
Councillor Bill Pryce, Chair of St Stephen Parish Council Leisure Committee, said: "We are absolutely delighted to receive a Green Flag Award for the 6th year running. We know how much quality green spaces matter to residents and visitors, and this award celebrates the dedication that goes into maintaining Greenwood Park to such a high standard.
"We are one of only 12 parish councils in the country to gain the award, most others going to larger town, district and county councils."
International Green Flag Award scheme manager Paul Todd said: "Green Flag honours the thousands of staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to maintain the high standards demanded by the Green Flag Award. We congratulate each and every winner on their fantastic achievement."
New for this summer is a kiosk located outside the Community Centre at Greenwood Park, making the park even more inviting. Greenwood Café is open on weekends and, in the summer holidays, Friday afternoons, servicing hot and cold drinks, breakfasts, lunches and light snacks.
There is plenty of parking, cycle tracks, large play area, woodland trails, café, cricket and football pitches and a large summer meadow.
On July 24,25 and 26, Greenwood Park is hosting Crafts in the Park, with free children's' activities between 11am to 12.30pm. You can find Greenwood Park off Tippendell Lane, Chiswell Green, St Albans, AL2 3HW.

Home Features New club promotes laughter, friendship among DePauw students
New club promotes laughter, friendship among DePauw students
Lilly Burba
The DePauw experience offers students countless opportunities to show off their creativity, whether in a unique class from the College of Liberal Arts, performing on stage in one of the School of Music's many ensembles or as part of many campus clubs/organizations. One new club is trying to break onto that scene this semester, and its founders and participants are enjoying plenty of laughs along the way.
"It's been a great experience trying to get this thing off the ground," said senior Lily Reed, founder of the new Improv Club, "and it's been even better having two of my best friends by my side for it."
Reed, fellow senior Andrew Petersen and sophomore Kate Whalley, form the exec board for this informal club, which is devoted to helping DePauw students explore their creative and quick-thinking side. Each week, they gather on Wednesday evenings and do different improvisation exercises that are both instructional and fun.
This past week's meeting opened with the assembled group going around the circle and introducing themselves with their name and a yoga pose of their own design; some resembled poses one might see in an actual yoga class while others were on the sillier side. As more people filtered in and joined the circle, each was met with the same level of enthusiasm as the last.
"We have about five people who come regularly, but we average about 10-12 people each week," Reed said, though their most recent meeting topped that figure.
The next set of exercises relied on participants paying attention and thinking quickly. In one, an imaginary bunny was passed around the circle, and participants had to not only pay attention to if they were being given the bunny, but also if those on either side of them were, and react accordingly.
In the next, one person stood in the middle of the circle and tried to trip up the others, either by challenging them to quickly finish a phrase, stay silent when they say something other than that phrase or work with the people on either side of them to form an object of the middle person's choosing; these could be anything from a squirrel to Longden to an ATO.
The last group of improv exercises focused on creating a character through exaggeration. Those assembled (sometimes everyone, sometimes just the execs) would pick up on behaviors that people were naturally displaying and either encourage the person to exaggerate that trait or take their place in the scene and exaggerate it themselves.
When asked what a first-time participant in improv club should expect, Reed was quick to say "weirdness," which she closely followed up with "a safety net."
Though missteps and failures in the course of the exercises were met with a chorus of laughter, Petersen assured that it was all in good fun.
"Yes, we do some 'light roasting with butter,' but we're laughing with you, not at you, because we've all been there before and made those same mistakes," Petersen said.
Reed had some prior experience in comedy, having worked on D3TV's "Pre-Recorded Late Night Show" during her sophomore year, but she said this club came from her lifelong love of improv and sketch comedy. She also loves to listen to comedians' podcasts, especially Amy Schumer's, and she said all of the podcasts encouraged aspiring comedy lovers to start improv clubs at their schools.
She espoused the benefits of participating in these exercises, which went beyond just a good laugh or two.
"Mind stimulation—I just feel so much more productive and wanting to get stuff done after this," Reed said.
Above all, the exec team values the human aspect of their club, which is on its way to being recognized as an official student organization within the next month.
"Just meeting new people and spreading the love of comedy has been the biggest benefit of doing this," Whalley said. "We always have so much fun."

Every May when the National Stationery Show rolls into town—and, with it, a boatload of talented stationery designers—it's the perfect opportunity throw a fête for all of our favorite creative minds. After all, who doesn't love to mark the arrival of spring weather with sparkling conversation and a couple of cocktails?
This year, we partied on the Gramercy Park Hotel's rooftop terrace under leafy bowers and strings of lights with views of the Manhattan skyline at sunset. For decor, we lined the terrace sills with floral cards and invitations from each of our partners. Guests sipped on our signature cocktail—an elderflower-infused G&T aptly named the Garden Tonic—mingling, chatting, and taking turns posing in our photo booth. We love a photo booth as much as (or perhaps more than) the next person, and ours was inspired by a 1940s garden party à la Brideshead Revisited, complete with lace parasols, tennis sweaters, croquet mallets, and a hand-crafted living hedge of garden roses and boxwood.
It was the loveliest way to welcome spring—here's to hoping the warmer weather brings you plenty of parties.

Queen Sugar Recap: It's Complicated
By Nichole Perkins
By Any Chance
Editor's Rating 5 stars *****
Rutina Wesley as Nova, Dawn-Lyen Gardner as Charley. Photo: OWN
The men of Queen Sugar are more than meets the eye. We've already seen how Ralph Angel struggles to move beyond his criminal past. Davis's rape accusation has marred his image as a perfect husband and father. Calvin is a straight-up unfaithful spouse. It all leads one to wonder: What might be wrong with the show's other male characters? In "By Any Chance," we learn about Hollywood's past. And it's a doozy.
Violet is having trouble with the new manager at the High Yellow Diner. After he embarrasses her in front of friends by demanding she return to work after her shift ended, she reaches out to Hollywood. Hollywood pretends he's on the rigs, but he's really in a psychiatric ward, signing out his bipolar wife, LeeAnne (Erika Alexander). LeeAnne is on suicide watch and Hollywood has no choice but to be her caretaker. Shortly after trying to seduce him, LeeAnne becomes violent when she sees that a woman (Violet) is calling him. Hollywood eventually leaves LeeAnne behind with her cousin, reminding her that they agreed to move on. They remain married so LeeAnne can be included in Hollywood's insurance plan, but as far as he is concerned, that's the only thing left between them.
A hidden wife is quite a significant secret. What else is Hollywood hiding? When LeeAnne tries to kiss him, she claims she wants to have another baby. Another one? Do they already have a child? Even stranger, LeeAnne looks like a younger version of Violet — expressive large eyes, a curly hair cut in a similar style, plus they both met Hollywood while they worked at diners. He definitely has a type, and with so many things going poorly for Violet, she won't be happy to learn about it.
After Violet's rough day at work (which eventually leads her to quit), she comes home to engage in some much-needed down time with the Bordelon women. Nova pulls out a joint, Violet gives up way too much information about Hollywood's prowess, and the women start asking Nova who she's been secretly dating. Charley asks if she's seeing a man or a woman, and Violet suggests that was just a college phase. Nova quickly corrects them. It's not a phase. She doesn't care about the package; it's what's inside that matters to her. We're learning so much about everybody tonight!
Nova doesn't describe herself as bisexual or pansexual, so I hesitate to assign either term to her. Regardless, it's meaningful that her family accepts her as she is — that's a rarity in small Southern towns. The revelation about Nova's sexuality is simply dropped in the conversation, and then the women go back to teasing each other and having a good time. Maybe it's a bit too on the nose to give Nova — a voodoo-practicing, weed-selling, creative talent — a queer identity. We get it: She and Charley are complete opposites. But if this episode helps anyone see how easy it is to love someone so unlike themselves, it will be well worth that lack of subtlety.
In the meantime, Nova doesn't want to share her relationship with Calvin. It's an ominous sign for the couple, and by episode's end, it's over between them. Calvin doesn't appreciate the way she used him to get access to Too Sweet, the teenager she'd been visiting in prison, and he tries to explain why it's bad that her front-page article on police corruption launched an internal investigation. Of course, Nova is proud of that. He tells her that police officers' families constantly worry if they'll come home safe. She counters that black mothers and fathers have harbored the same worry for over 300 years. He calls her a hypocrite for selling drugs to the people she claims to want to protect. It doesn't matter if it's just weed; it's illegal. Nova kicks him out, demanding he leave his key behind.
Fighting back tears, Calvin wonders why Nova chose him, a married white man. He realizes she never wanted a relationship; she just wanted company. Insert eye-rolling emoji here. How dare Calvin get so righteous about ethics, morality, and love? He's a married man! With children! He can't understand Nova's commitment to her race, so he tries to make her feel guilty about their relationship. He has some nerve. You don't get to shame your mistress for not loving you, dude, just because you want her to abandon her community for your profession. Is he going to abandon his family? Why should Nova abandon hers? Calvin didn't even attempt to understand where Nova was coming from. He wants sympathy because her investigation will make his life harder, but he completely overlooks how his job makes life harder for entire communities. Maybe the reveal about Nova's sexual identity means she'll kick Calvin to the curb for a woman with some sense, but I have a feeling he'll be back soon.
While Hollywood and Nova deal with their respective drama, Charley tries to handle the legal ramifications of her own fraught marriage. She confronts Melina Gold, the woman accusing Davis of rape. Melina is not a "perfect rape victim." She wears revealing clothes, a full face of carefully applied makeup, and doesn't present as an emotionally devastated victim. After going toe to toe with Charley, Melina eventually contacts her to ask for $3 million and a face-to-face meeting with Davis. Everything about Melina screams untrustworthy, but let's be clear: It would be a tremendous shame if her rape accusation is a lie. Hopefully, Queen Sugar is trying to comment on what society expects of women who are sexually assaulted. (See: The scene where Melina tells Charley that sex workers can be raped.) The episode is intimately concerned with looking beyond surfaces, so even though Melina's choices of attire and occupation will raise ill-advised, inappropriate questions, they certainly don't mean she's lying.
Along with the fascinating story lines, Queen Sugar keeps me coming back each week because it is a truly beautiful show. Every episode director — all of whom are women — goes beyond the usual, expected angles of a nighttime drama. A wide shot shows Remy and Charley assessing the land, acres looming behind them in overwhelming fashion. Will the land swallow Charley and the rest of the Bordelons whole? As Hollywood tells LeeAnne he's leaving, their heads rest in the bottom of the frame, the exterior brick of her home seemingly hovering above. A weight is about to collapse on them. During the confrontation between Nova and Calvin, we see similar shots: Nova sitting alone, her head just visible from the bottom margin of the frame; Calvin standing across from her, his face lined with worry at the edge of the screen. These couples are painted into their proverbial corners, unsure how to get themselves out whether they're handling mental illness, tension between police and people of color, or the frustrations within interracial relationships.
"By Any Chance" is the best episode of Queen Sugar so far. Layer after layer peels away from each character, a testament to the show's terrific writing. Even Remy reveals he's not all sugary-sweet when he snaps at Charley for ignoring his advice at a local auction. He tries making it up to her by revealing he bought Ernest Bordelon's repossessed tractor, and their relationship continues to brew, but I suspect this won't be a one-time issue. Meanwhile, we learn that Micah (reluctantly) sees a therapist, and once again, it's handled casually. Queen Sugar keeps pushing the idea that none of these characters have anything to be ashamed of — not their incarcerated pasts, not their mental-health issues, and not their sexuality. The show could stand to work on how it presents sex workers, but hopefully it'll get better on that front soon.

When I first started looking around Blossom Design Studio and getting an idea of Kimberly's online marketing I was WORRIED.
Kimberly clearly has her finger on the pulse of online marketing and understands the importance of fantastic, effective branding.
What if I couldn't offer her any helpful ideas?
Of course, the more I looked around the more I realised I could. See the thing is, when you work on something for a long time and/or intensely you become immersed in it. Like working in your business, rather than working on it.
So I wrote this post knowing I was the 'fresh, independent eyes' on an already great foundation. I hope everyone finds the suggestions valuable.
Kimberly is very supportive of other tweeps on Twitter and is rewarded with retweets.
Blossom Design Studio also produces two daily online newspapers through Paper.Li which are then promoted on Twitter. Not only do @blossomaz followers receive curated content, they also have the opportunity for their blog posts to be included, reinforcing their engagement.
Blossom Design Studio's Facebook profile picture displays Kimberly's graphic design skills while having a clear next action for likers.
Kimberly's LinkedIn profile is very detailed and a strong central point for both her businesses (Twin Satori Photography will be reviewed in the coming days). It covers her extensive and diverse professional activities as well as connecting to her other online presences.
The website is beautiful to look at and is consistent with the branding in all other Blossom Design Studio online activities.
Research suggests between 15 and 20 tweets per day are best for adding value for followers and increasing brand awareness. Blossom Design Studio currently averages between two and three. Kimberly could increase frequency with minimal time invested using BufferApp or Hootsuite to schedule some of her tweets.
Blossom Design Studio offers a branding and website design service however much of its online content is text based. A variety of media should be used to demonstrate expertise.
Kimberly had a two month break from updating Facebook without advising likers.
Twitter chats are a great avenue for Kimberly to grow brand awareness and demonstrate her expert knowledge and skills. Two she could start with are #blogchat and #pinchat.
The store on Blossom Design Studio's website should be altered to allow visitors to pre-purchase Kimberly's services. This would assist in capturing conversions while visitors are feeling motivated after reviewing the site as well as streamlining client accounts.
If Facebook page owners are aware of events or issues that will cause a lack of updates in advance they should prepare their likers. A simple update, preferably with a date of return, is all that's needed.
Blossom Design Studio content needs to incorporate more videos and images given their potential clients are seeking 'visual representation' of their businesses. Kimberly may like to use Instagram to publish images from her iPhone. Automated tweets can then be set up for sharing on Twitter.
The Google+ consumer base appears to be professionals and service providers at this stage of its development. Blossom Design Studio needs to be an early adopter to establish itself as a leader in its field before the market becomes saturated.

Prince's Death: How Will His Intellectual Property and Estate Be Handled?
The musical artist Prince died on April 21, 2016, apparently without a will in place. If this turns out to be true, the handling of his estate, including its valuation, will be administered by a Minnesota probate court. Minnesota statutes and federal tax code will dictate who gets what and at what cost. Prince's estate will have to foot a potentially huge tax bill. An article in Billboard cited a conservative estimate of the value of estate's assets at $250 million.
The intellectual property valuation associated with a world-famous artist such as Prince is a daunting task. Below, Scott Weingust, a Managing Director and leader of Stout's Intellectual Property Valuation practice provides us with insights as to the steps involved in such a valuation process.
The most valuable intellectual property (IP) assets that are likely to be found in Prince's estate include his rights to publicity, copyrighted music and other works of art, and potentially various trademarks representing his name and likeness (the Prince IP Portfolio). In fact, given his prolific music career and high profile as a celebrity, it is likely that Prince's IP assets make up the lion's share of the value of his entire estate. Given that there may be significant estate tax issues associated with the Prince IP Portfolio, the valuation of the portfolio will be closely scrutinized by the IRS and the ultimate heirs to Prince's estate. Given these circumstances, it is worth noting some of the key IP valuation issues that will be considered by the IRS and others who have an interest in Prince's estate.
For one, simply the identification of all of the relevant IP assets that make up the Prince IP Portfolio will likely be a challenging exercise, although one that will be integral to perform a reliable valuation. Certainly, to the extent it is true, the fact that Prince reportedly does not have a will that might have listed at least some of these assets will make it more difficult to develop a comprehensive inventory of the relevant IP assets.
Second, while some artists are able to maintain ownership of the IP rights associated with their music and other works of art, many sell or otherwise lose control of all or a portion of such rights for various reasons. Certainly, the nature of the legal ownership of the assets in the Prince IP Portfolio will directly affect its value. For example, as previously reported by Forbes, after miscalculating the value of certain publishing rights owned by Michael Jackson's estate upon his death, the IRS increased its tax demand by $29 million.
A third key valuation issue relates to the challenge of determining an accurate value of Prince's name and likeness. The value of such intangible assets is typically a function of the estate's ability to generate future income from the relevant celebrity's name and likeness (i.e., the use of an Income Approach to determine value). In addition, to the extent such information is available, a valuation analyst will also typically consider the value of the same assets determined for other similarly popular artists or performers (i.e., the use of a Market Approach to determine value). The value of a celebrity's name and likeness is a challenging question to answer and, even among professional appraisers, such valuations may vary widely. Given the similarities between the two as long time popular music stars, the value of Michael Jackson's name and likeness may provide insights into the value of these assets as part of the Prince IP Portfolio. However, illustrative of the challenges in valuing such assets, it was reported that Michael Jackson's estate valued his name and likeness at only $2,105 compared to the IRS's valuation of $434 million. Notably, the dispute over the value of Jackson's name and likeness was the first time ever that the IRS had pursued estates taxes related to such assets.
IP valuation is difficult, and the valuation of the Prince IP Portfolio is likely to be fraught with differences of opinion between the IRS and Prince's heirs given the potentially huge tax bill at stake. Careful and complete due diligence and analysis associated with the three issues discussed above, likely along with many others, will be key in developing an IP valuation that is reasonable and reliable for addressing estate tax issues.

When it Comes to Coughs, Chocolate Is More Effective than Codeine
By PureWow Updated January 22, 2016
FWX SNIFFING CHOCOLATE
Credit: © John Kernick
This piece originally appeared on PureWow.
It's always when you're in a meeting--or trying not to make a peep--when you feel it: that annoying, please-everyone-stop-staring-at-me beginning of a cough. The next time it happens, you just might want to reach for dark chocolate.
Here's why: According to Professor Alyn Morice, head of cardiovascular and respiratory studies at the University of Hull, chocolate is actually a more effective method for relieving a tickle (or hacking cough) than other over-the-counter drugs.
The prof--and resident cough expert--references a recent study where patients who took a new medicine containing cocoa (versus cough syrup) saw a significant improvement in their cough within two days. Another study, performed at the Imperial College of London, further explains: There's an alkaloid in cocoa that is better at suppressing the urge to cough than codeine. Codeine.
It makes sense: Chocolate's texture is stickier than regular cough medicines, which means it's better equipped to coat your throat and protect the nerve endings that trigger the coughing sensation.
There's more research to be done, of course, but in the meantime, we're happy to test the theory.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The futuristic F-22A "Raptor" fighter jet, designed to dominate the skies well into the 21st century, joined the U.S. combat fleet on Thursday, 20 years after it was conceived to fight Soviet MiGs over Europe.
The Air Force said "initial operational capability" had been achieved at the 1st Fighter Wing's 27th Fighter Squadron at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia.
Pilots in the squadron, the Air Force's oldest in continuous operation, have been training on the F-22, the Air Force's most advanced weapon system, for about a year.
With the Soviet union" gone, defense analysts have cast the F-22 as the weapon of choice for any future U.S. conflict with China, for instance over Taiwan.
"There is a clear role for F-22 here," said Daniel Goure, a former Pentagon strategist now at the Lexington Institute, an Arlington, Virginia, research group with close ties to the U.S. defense establishment.
The aircraft's role is to "kick the doors down" in a conflict, as Pentagon officials put it, knocking out defenses on the ground and in the air to clear the way for other warplanes and forces.
The radar-evading Raptor is twice as reliable and three times more effective than the F-15C Eagle it is replacing as the top U.S. air-to-air fighter, according to Lockheed Martin Corp., its developer.
"It's a fighter pilot's dream," said former F-15 pilot Col. Walter Givhan, lauding the plane's integrated avionics, stealth and speed. Givhan is wing commander at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, where the latest round of F-22 testing was completed.
Lockheed described the fighter as the world's most advanced and said it was "relevant for the next 40 years."
Boeing Co. and Northrop Grumman Corp. are top F-22 subcontractors. United Technologies Corp.'s Pratt & Whitney unit makes the aircraft's two engines.
The Raptor combines low-observability, or stealth, with supersonic speed, agility and cockpit displays designed to boost greatly pilots' awareness of the situation around them.
At a "fly-away" cost of about $130 million each for the most recent batch, not including research and development, it is also one of the most controversial U.S. warplanes ever.
Critics have termed it unaffordable overkill in a world without the potential threat of a Soviet union" able to send swarms of MiGs into a dogfight, which prompted its inception in 1986.
The Air Force is planning to stretch F-22 production until 2010 to keep Lockheed's production line open pending arrival of its more affordable F-35 Joint Strike Fighter family of aircraft that will also go to the Navy, the Marines and co-developing nations that include Britain, Italy and Turkey.
The F-22 also has a ground attack capability to drop 250-pound (113.5-kg), small-diameter bombs or 1,000-pound (454-kg) Joint Direct Attack Munitions while flying at supersonic speeds.
Gen. Michael Moseley, the Air Force chief of staff, has said the F-22 is needed against threats such as Russian-built surface-to-air missiles sold overseas.
Moseley said on Tuesday he hoped to buy 183 F-22s, four more than currently in the budget and enough for seven combat-ready squadrons, down from the 750 F-22s once planned.
Final assembly has been completed on 67 of the 107 F-22s already purchased by the Air Force, Lockheed's program manager, Larry Lawson, said in a statement.
I love, repeat LOVE the F22.
This aircraft is the fastest, easiest to operate, and deadliest fighter ever designed. I fly one all the time with my simulator -I know it is not 100% like the real deal, but it is as close as you can get on a PC. I also have the Mig, and M16 sims, and to be honest...I don't play them. Only the F22 is king.


Low fat mixture of cold foods dressing recipes are cooking formulas that have low fat content and usually help if you are on a diet. Imagine how difficult it would be if you are eating low calorie mixtures of cold foods but with dressing that have a high fat content. It would be a total loss and you can in fact be surprised by gaining a few pounds or kilograms instead of losing centimeters or weight after being on your salad weight loss program.
Most salad dressing cooking formulas have vinegar in common and they are known as vinegarette salad dressing recipes. An alternative compound usually used to replace vinegar is wine or lemon juice. The most commonly used vinegars are oil and balsamic vinegar. Some cooking formulas that are made using oil and vinegar are the French salad dressing recipes, the Italian salad dressing recipes, Asian salad dressing recipes or the more traditional oriental salad dressing recipes.
The oil used for the oil and balsamic vinegar salad dressing cooking formulas varies. A good idea is to use virgin olive oil or canola oil. If you decide to use olive oil, I suggest you mix the oil and the vinegar or lemon juice before adding it to the salad, as olive oil tends to be a little bit thick.
You can lose weight by using low fat salad dressing cooking formulas. Home made low fat salad dressing cooking formulas that uses fat free mayonnaise are healthy to eat and can also help you to lose weight. Salad dressing ingredients with no sugar is good for the body because too much sugar is unhealthy and not only does it slow down your metabolism, too much sugar will definitely add weight instead of help your body burn calories.
Eating fruit salads give you more energy but be careful because fruit contain lots of sugars.
