Seamless underwear selection - B.D. Seamless Clothing Co.,Ltd.
Viewed from the front, the breast expands significantly outward, beyond the lateral edge of the chest, and does not form a cleavage. In addition to being born, it may be an incorrect underwear that is too small to wear for a long time.
The bra is the key to gathering. After wearing it, lean over 30 degrees and use your hands to pull the breasts inward to adjust to a full and straight chest shape.
Heightening and thickening side ratio - the width of the stretched piece is about 10-12cm. With the rubber bone, it produces a strong side thrust. It pulls the underarm milk and squeezes the double breast to the inside to lock the fat and not return.

This was a big week in college football and the Big Ten had one marquee matchup that turned into a bit of a dud. Here ya go!
I was really looking forward to watching this game, and then it started, and well, I started doing laundry… The most exciting moment for me was one of the better interceptions you'll see all year and the goofy centipede formation by coach Jim Harbaugh.
The Wolverines went into halftime with a 7-0 lead thanks to a touchdown from fullback Khalid Hill. Wisconsin answered in the third when freshman quarterback Alex Hornibrook connected with Dare Ogunbowale for a 17-yard touchdown strike. Michigan would recapture the lead midway through the fourth when Wilton Speight hit Amara Darboh for what would turn out to be the game-winning 46-yard score.
I thought it was pretty silly earlier in the week when I saw that Michigan State was only favored by six points over the Hoosiers. Late last night I felt pretty silly myself for thinking that I knew more than the sharks in Vegas.
The Hoosiers' victory allowed them to reclaim the Old Brass Spittoon for the first time in a decade. What exactly is an old brass spittoon? I have no idea, but it sounds pretty mysterious and I would love to have one of my own someday.
Richard Lagow led the Hoosiers as he completed 16 of 26 passes for 276 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Lagow was also on the receiving end of a five-yard score in the third quarter. Devine Redding led all rushers with 100 yards on 19 carries. Senior wideout Ricky Jones added 124 yards receiving and a touchdown.
The Spartans' three-headed backfield of Gerald Holmes, Madre London, and L.J. Scott combined for 128 yards rushing while Tyler O'Connor added 36 of his own. O'Connor connected on 21 of 35 passes for 263 yards and three scores. R.J. Shelton had himself a day as the senior hauled in seven passes for 141 yards and a touchdown.
Michigan State kicker Michael Geiger missed a 49-yard field goal attempt in overtime. The Hoosiers returned the favor with a miss of their own, but the Spartans were flagged for leaping which gave Indiana new life. Griffin Oakes would then knock in the chip-shot 20-yarder to bring the Hoosiers to 3-1.
Illini jumped out early and controlled the game until the fourth quarter when tailback Terrell Newby led the way in a fourth quarter that saw Nebraska score three touchdowns. The senior ran for 113 of his 140 yards in the game's final quarter and scored twice on his own.
Tommy Armstrong completed 16 of 23 passes for 220 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He also found the endzone once with his legs. Jordan Westerkamp led all receivers with four receptions for 65 yards.
The Illinois offense had a pretty lackluster day, totaling just 270 yards. Wes Lunt was 13 of 22 for 133 yards. Reggie Corbin led the Illini ground game with nine carries for 72 yards. Lovie Smith's squad struggled to convert in enemy territory and had to settle for three Chase McLaughlin field goals.
Penn State steals a victory over Minnesota behind the play of the entire team.
The Hawkeye fanbase has to be elated that the administration and athletic supporters elected to keep Kirk Ferentz around for another decade or so. Since the extension was announced less than a month ago, Iowa has fallen at home twice. Two weeks ago it was to North Dakota State of the FCS and yesterday's loss came at the hands of a Northwestern squad that was 1-3 heading into the matchup.
Quarterback Clayton Thorson and tailback Justin Jackson accounted for all five of the Wildcats' touchdowns. Thorson threw for 164 yards and a trio of scores while adding another with his legs. Jackson rushed for 171 yards and, with the game tied at 24, scored on a 58-yard scamper late in the third quarter. Senior wideout Austin Carr hauled in all three of Thorson's touchdown passes.
The Hawkeye offense could only manage 283 yards on the day. C.J. Beathard threw for 204 yards with one touchdown and one interception. LeShun Daniels Jr. ran for 72 yards and a score. Akrum Wadley struggled to get anything going as the junior rushed for just 35 yards on 14 carries, though he did find the endzone twice.
Looking at the bright side for Iowa, they may be able to avoid about $2 million that Ferentz is set to bring home (over the length of his contract) if the Hawkeyes reach seven wins on the season. That could help to make a ridiculous buyout a little bit less absurd.
Note: Internet searches for "Kirk Ferentz buyout" peaked around 2:30PM yesterday.
The Terrapins are not as bad as many thought they'd be. In his first year at the helm, D.J. Durkin actually has Maryland looking like a solid football team, and his Big Ten debut was a memorable one. Yes, Purdue is awful, but the Terps were damn impressive on Saturday as they moved to 4-0 on the season.
Not a bad little weekend in the conference. The Hoosiers handing Dantonio his second conference loss was a bit unexpected. The Buckeyes obviously rolled over Rutgers and neither Michigan nor Wisconsin did anything that should invoke fear across the state of Ohio.
Next week's conference slate can best be described as "meh." Michigan is traveling to Rutgers where they will surely trounce the Scarlet Knights. The Spartans host BYU as they will look to avoid a third straight loss. The Hoosiers – who have been a tad bit pesky lately – will make their way to Columbus.
Are the Durkin-led Terps going to screw around and end up in the Top 25? A win at Happy Valley next week could certainly help their case.
Week 4…. Conference play kicked off this weekend…. Here ya go!
Redshirt freshman Alex Hornibrook's first start was a memorable one for the Badgers as they knocked off the Spartans. The Badgers – led by a defense that forced four turnovers – would go on to hold the Spartans without a touchdown.
Hornibrook tossed a touchdown pass and Corey Clement found the endzone in the second quarter to give Wisconsin the edge and they never looked back. The freshman ended the day 16 of 26 for 195 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Corey Clement found the endzone twice but could only manage 54 yards on 23 carries. Jazz Peavy led all pass-catchers with four receptions for 96 yards.
Word has it that the Spartans may be on the verge of a bit of a quarterback controversy, though their head coach is saying otherwise. Lima, Ohio native Tyler O'Connor was atrocious on the day. The senior was 18 of 38 for 224 yards and three interceptions and his performance has some fans clamoring for redshirt freshman Brian Lewerke. Lewerke came in on the Spartans' final drive and was 2 of 4 for 26 yards.
Senior quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. put on a show Saturday afternoon which led to the victory against the 'Cats. He threw for 246 yards and a score while adding a new career high of 132 yards rushing. Terrell Newby ran for 69 yards and scored a touchdown of his own.
Clayton Thorson led the Northwestern attack with 292 yards of total offense to go along with a pair of touchdowns. The sophomore was also picked off twice. Justin Jackson led the ground game with 79 yards while Austin Carr was the game's leading receiver with 109 yards and a score.
With three losses already on the young season, the Wildcats have matched their total from last year's 10-3 campaign.
Next weekend's headliner will certainly be the Badgers traveling back to the Mitten State to take on the Wolverines. The Buckeyes will host Rutgers and Michigan State will be looking to bounce back in Bloomington.
The Big Ten remains top heavy heading into this season but their best teams all reside in the same division so there will be some major collusions featuring Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State. The winner of the East could very well be the champion of the Big Ten but I'm certain Iowa and Wisconsin will have something to say about that.
The Hawkeyes are currently the favorites to repeat as West but Wisconsin has restocked their roster as well as Nebraska. The Big Ten may not be the deepest conference of the so-called Power 5, but its top teams should play significant roles when it comes to the national title picture that's for sure.
The conference had more players drafted in the first three rounds – the ones that matter – than the SEC, and everyone else. B1G joins the ACC as the only league to have two different teams in the first two years of the College Football Playoff, it had some high-profile moments this last bowl season – nothing to see here with the Rose, Sugar and Outback, though – and more than anything else, the conference's programs are really, really, really rich, and getting richer.
Eight Big Ten schools – with newbies Maryland and Rutgers, along with Illinois, Indiana, Northwestern and Purdue just on the outside – are in the $100 million athletic department club in annual revenue generated, while the Big Ten Network is definitely printing money for the schools.
In short, all this means it's easier to keep around the Harbaughs, and the Meyers, and the Franklins, and the Dantonios and it's easier to attract the Lovies, and have the Schianos as assistants. And soon, it might be easier to attract more programs to expand even further. But that's for another day.
On the field, the Big Ten is better when Michigan is one of college football's elite programs. It's back with Jim Harbaugh the most interesting man in the world, while Ohio State continues to be special, Michigan State not going anywhere, and a resurgent Penn State about to be a whole bunch better over the next few seasons.
Throw in the improved coaching situations at Maryland and Rutgers, and with Indiana no longer a speedbump, and the East is going to be fascinating.
Can Nebraska start to get the right breaks and be better and stronger under Mike Riley? Probably. Iowa has another great team returning, Wisconsin is going to have a running game again and be dangerous, Northwestern and Minnesota are still solid, Illinois should be far better in a hurry under Lovie Smith, and Purdue has its best team yet under Darrell Hazell.
Michigan at Ohio State, Nov. 26 – All due respect given to Michigan State, who gets the Wolverines and Buckeyes at home, but the rivalry of all sports rivalries will matter more than ever now. It might be for the Big Ten East – and, effectively, the Big Ten title – after the game not making a difference in the race last year, and while Jim Harbaugh can't do any wrong, it's not going to sit well if he's 0-2 against Urban.
Here is our overall Big Ten Predictions….
"IF" all things go according to our prediction, Ohio State and Wisconsin will face off December 3 in Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship with the Buckeyes winning it all going into the BCS Playoffs.
Even by the Big Ten Network poll, Ohio State was chosen to win it all – click here to read!
Last Big Ten undefeated team remained the last undefeated team as the crush the Illini. The Cornhuskers did it on the ground, as Ameer Abdullah, had 208 of Nebraska's 458 rushing yards and scored the first three touchdowns.
Illinois made it 28-14 with a long Geronimo Allison touchdown reception, but Nebraska scored the last 17 points of the blowout.
Have you ever seen a game where both teams really don't deserve a victory? Well, this is one of them… but in the end Iowa got it done.
The Boilermakers struck first with a pick-six by Frankie Williams and a field goal to go up 10-0, but nobody on Purdue's low-powered offense (2.3 yards per pass, 2.8 yards per rush) besides Akeem Hunt could do a single thing to protect the lead.
Just when you thought Indiana was on the right track after a big win against SEC foe Missouri last week, the Hoosiers go Hoosier. The Terrapins C.J. Brown and Caleb Rowe combined for 361 passing yards as Maryland brushed the Hoosiers aside to win its first-ever Big Ten game.
Even with injuries to the offense, the Terrapins have been one of the most consistent Big Ten teams so far (one pass defense meltdown against West Virginia aside). Their home game next week against Ohio State will demonstrate where in the conference's pecking order they fall. And with three road wins to date, Maryland is the senior day opponent nobody wants to play.
For Indiana, it's back to the drawing board. On the bright side, Tevin Coleman kept his streak of games with 100+ rushing yards alive and the Hoosiers still have several gimme games to get to bowl eligibility.
The Golden Gophers knocked off the Wolverines pretty handily especially in the second half as they took advantage of turnovers and field position, which turned in to a 27-7.
The Gophers reclaimed the Little Brown Jug for the first time since 2005.
They out-gained them 373 to 171. To make matters worst for the home team, when the PA announcer claimed 102,000 fans were in attendance (thus keeping Michigan Stadium's 100,000+ attendance streak alive), Wolverine fans booed the obviously fraudulent number.
The 'Cats capitalized on mistake after mistake from the Nittany Lions' and knock them off big up in Happy Valley.
Although the Wildcats took a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, it was assumed that Christian Hackenberg would lead a comeback win. But Penn State could manage only two field goals through three quarters, and consecutive turnovers in the fourth quarter (including a pick-six) drove PSU to its doom.
Nothing any worst than losing a key player for the season, as running back Paul James, suffered a torn ACL. But the Scarlet Knights used the 'next man up' regimen and put away the Green Wave with little trouble.
The Spartans continue winning and blew out Wyoming. Jeremy Langford rushed for 137 yards and a touchdown, while backup QB Tyler O'Connor ran for a touchdown and passed for another.
Talk about a slow starting game… it was 3-3 at the half. But in the second half the Badgets got things going as Mr. Melvin Gordon flexed his muscles and got his stride going strong as he rushed for 181 yards and two touchdowns. Alex Erickson had six catches for 91 yards.
Week 5 is in the books… next week, Nebraska-Michigan State should be Big Ten Game of the Week!


The former secretary of state spruces up Fred Malek's image.
You're Colin Powell. You've recently departed the Bush State Department, your Last-Reasonable-Man halo only slightly dented by your erroneous speech to the United Nations in February 2003 about Saddam's supposed cache of chemical and biological weapons. Mostly you're remembered as the guy who told Bush, when he contemplated invading Iraq, "You break it, you own it." You smell good. You look good. Now let's see what that reputation will buy.
According to the Washington Post, it will buy membership in the Washington Baseball Club, a group of investors with an inside track to acquiring the Nationals, Washington's new baseball team. Three years ago, the Washington Baseball Club entered into what it terms "an exclusive agreement with the D.C. Sports & Entertainment Commission to work together to bring Major League Baseball back to Washington, DC." Now baseball has arrived, and the Washington Baseball Club is the odds-on favorite to end up owning the Nationals.
But there's just one little problem—so small I hate to bring it up, really. The investment group's leader is Frederic V. Malek, who did something kind of naughty three decades ago. We all make mistakes, right? Malek's mistake—hey, you've probably been tempted to do the same once or twice—was agreeing to be Richard Nixon's Jew-counter.
summoned the White House personnel chief, Fred Malek, to his office to discuss a "Jewish cabal" in the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The "cabal," Nixon said, was tilting economic figures to make his Administration look bad. How many Jews were there in the bureau? he wanted to know. Malek reported back on the number, and told the President that the bureau's methods of weighing statistics were normal procedure that had been in use for years.
In 1988, when George Bush père installed Malek as deputy chairman for the Republican National Committee, Woodward dusted off his notes and, with the Washington Post's Walter Pincus, further revealed that two months after Malek filed a memo on the matter—he'd counted 13 Jews, though his methodology was shaky—a couple of them were demoted. (Malek denied any role and said Nixon's notions of a "Jewish cabal" were "ridiculous" and "nonsense.") The 1988 story raised a predictable ruckus, and Malek beat a hasty retreat from the RNC. As exiles go, Malek's was pretty painless. He still got to run the 1988 Republican Convention (and in 1992 he would be Bush père's campaign manager). He joined George W. Bush's syndicate to purchase the Rangers, he went on the board of the American-Israel Friendship Society, he took over Northwest Airlines, and he started an investment firm, Thayer Capital Partners.
Malek has gotten an enormous amount of press coverage in recent years as the person working hardest to bring baseball to Washington. But his Jew-counting past has gone virtually unmentioned. Searching Nexis for the past two years, I couldn't find a single reference to the episode. One explanation for the silence may be that, according to David A. Fahrenthold and Bill Brubaker in the April 8 Washington Post, the Washington Baseball Club has helped media celebrities like Morton Kondracke * get season tickets behind home plate and along the first base line. In addition, David Bradley, owner of two well-respected magazines—the Atlantic and National Journal—is himself a partner in the Washington Baseball Club.
Still, the story isn't going to stay buried forever, and when it surfaces again, Malek's group may lose its advantage to one of the other eight groups vying to purchase the Nationals. One strategy Malek's employed has been to load up the Washington Baseball Club's membership with socially prominent African-Americans—Former Fannie Mae chairman Franklin Raines, former Washington Redskin Darrell Green, and (inevitably) Vernon Jordan—and to put front and center its ambition to get more blacks interested in baseball. An uncharitable person might observe that Malek has gone from counting Jews to counting blacks, though this time, obviously, in service of a more laudable social goal. (Despite low prices and the location of its current stadium in a heavily black area of D.C., the Nationals are still drawing an overwhelmingly white crowd.) But the recruitment of Powell—a onetime Malek protege—transcends race, and brings to Malek's quest a heightened respectability that may serve to erase Malek's earlier misdeed altogether. Powell surely knows this, and it's disappointing to see him spend his prestige on this unworthy enterprise.

Even the New York Times is finally recognizing how many readers like to look at abs. Here is an article talking all about it with a video from the Calvin Klein campaign. And a couple of pictures for continued inspiration.
Went to the gym late on Friday the 12th. Did 7 pull ups—up 2, but then only 5 chin ups—down 5. Still tired from Wednesday and Thursday's 5 hours of cardio. But I put in the hour, including three sets of 45 crunches.
Some sick people in the house. After attending a funeral Monday morning, I learned that a house guest has swine flu and that my daughter may have caught it. Turns out not the case, but pretty upsetting when I was already glum from the church service and the sad crying and sense of shared loss. Fragile life.
Another four hours this morning playing tennis (poorly, my side lost 4-6, 4-6 to opponents who are 93 and 85—I hit lots of balls too long) and then practicing tennis serves and strokes followed by an hour of squash hitting. Feels good to be tired this way. Rushed home for a protein shake. Weight holding at 170.


Erdogan has vowed to crush it in the wake of Trump's decision to pull troops out. On Monday Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan held a phone call with his United States counterpart Donald Trump , discussing the idea of establishing a 32-kilometer (20-mile) terror-free safe zone in northern Syria.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Monday that Saudi Arabia's king and crown prince have assured him that "every single person" responsible for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi will be held accountable. Speaking from Lebanon, where he met with Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri, Mr Hale said: "Secretary Pompeo asked me to come to Lebanon to discuss America's regional strategy".
Mr Baker said in a statement: "We will offer the European Union a better deal and we will be ready to trade on WTO terms with the European Union if they decline". The Irish ministers" gaffe came as they appeared at a press conference in Dublin where Mr Ross admitted that he "anticipated' there would be checks on goods moving between the United Kingdom and Ireland in the event of no deal.
A mortuary official told AFP 11 Kenyans and one Briton were known to have died. The Interior Ministry has said that the "mopping-up process" continues but in a tweet on Wednesday morning said all buildings and the area surrounding the DusitD2 hotel complex were secure, despite renewed gunfire and explosions .
Police officers in Chico County carry Naloxone , a medicine used to reverse overdoses, which they gave to the surviving victims. Chico Fire Department Chief Steven Standridge said the officers were "potentially exposed" to the drug, a synthetic opioid often imported on the black market from China and Mexico to be used as a filler in heroin and other street narcotics.
Law enforcement officials have not yet commented on whether anyone has been injured by the shooter , whether shots have been fired, or given any indication as to his identity. Shortly before noon, as the prosecutor's office was updating reporters on the situation, a short burst of gunfire was heard from the area of the facility.
Al-Qunun escaped her family on January 5 and planned to claim asylum in Australia via a connecting flight to Bangkok. Mohammed took to social media, asking for help as she barricaded herself in an airport hotel room. When she walked through the airport door in Toronto , and Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland was there to greet her, "I felt free, and it was like I was born again", she told ABC.
Barr, as head of the Justice Department , would take over from acting attorney general Matthew Whitaker and oversee Mueller's work. Barr will offer his testimony - he's already submitted his written remarks , which he tells senators it's "vitally important" that special counsel Robert Mueller be allowed to finish the Russian Federation investigation.
An 18-year-old Saudi runaway who said she was abused and feared death if deported back home was expected to arrive Saturday in Canada, which has granted her asylum. On Friday afternoon Qunun posted a cryptic tweet on her profile saying "I have some good news and some bad news" - shortly afterward, her account was deactivated in response to death threats she had faced, her friends said.
Mnangagwa addressed the recent protests in Zimbabwe , which had begun on Monday after the government doubled fuel prices. The Zimbabwe Association of Doctors for Human Rights (ZADHR) by midday said it had treated about 13 people, but an official later put the number of shooting victims at 24 and five deaths were reported.
Steve King on any committees for the 116th Congress, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told reporters. That said, it stands a better chance than most attempts at bipartisan cooperation in the House; along with McCarthy, many GOP leaders have taken King to task for his remarks, and the Republican governor of Iowa has already said she won't support him in his next election.
Salon's Andrew O'Hehir took a deep dive into the details and political implications on Saturday, particularly noting the fact that while many of us have concluded that there was plenty of evidence Trump was compromised and this was just the last straw, the right just sees this as more evidence of a "Deep State coup".
A Canadian national has been sentenced Monday to execution in China , after being retried on worldwide drug trafficking charges. Courts heard an appeal of that conviction on December 29, 2018, and ordered a retrial for Monday, raising the possibility of a harsher sentence.
There is a stark contrast between Ocasio-Cortez's style and freshman congressman Dan Crenshaw's (R-Texas) as both of their names have been in the media several times. "She needs to decide: Does she want to be an effective legislator or just continue being a Twitter star?" an anonymous House Democrat said. Then along came Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - and her social-media megaphone.
Jayme told them Patterson wasn't going to be home until midnight, Kasinskas recalled. Smart, who is married and now 31, said that although the details of Jayme's ordeal have not been released, the fact that the girl "rescued herself" speaks volumes of her strength.
Israel says Iran is seeking to establish a military presence in Syria that could threaten Israeli security by trying to transfer advanced weaponry to the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon. The military said its forces would stay deployed along the border area to monitor for any other possible underground activity, and said it holds the Lebanese government responsible for everything happening in its territory.
Huawei's head of sales in Poland, identified in media reports as a Chinese national named Weijing W., has been arrested by the Polish government and charged with spying. Orange Poland told The Associated Press on Friday that officials from Poland's Internal Security Agency searched the company's headquarters in Warsaw on Tuesday and that as part of operation "we handed over belongings of one of our employees".
Some buildings have been damaged. A flight engineer was the only person on board to survive, Mojtaba Khaledi, a spokesman for Iran's Emergency Information Centre, told the news agency. Images carried by Iran's state-run media showed the burned-out tail of the plane sticking out, surrounding by charred homes. Emergency management officials said there was only one known survivor after the Boeing 707 crashed at Fath Airport.
The facts presented in the Times report are, in reality, far more damning of the Federal Bureau of Investigation than of Trump. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who was Central Intelligence Agency director at the time the investigation was launched, declined to comment on the New York Times report, but insisted in an interview with CBS that "the notion that President Trump is a threat to American national security is absolutely ludicrous".
Detectives believe Closs was held by suspected abductor , Jake Thomas Petterson, 21, in a rural cabin near where she was spotted, and about 60 miles from her family home in Barron . "Believe me, so are we". The suspect made "great efforts to minimize his forensic footprint at the crime scene", Fitzgerald said, such as shaving his head to avoid leaving behind hair evidence.
Witnesses said the driver tried to pass another auto when he crashed. Only the bus was carrying 40 people . The driver, in turn, stated that he had lost control of the bus because the road surface was too wet, insisting that he was driving at a low speed and did not interact with other vehicles.
Castro, 44, the grandson of a Mexican immigrant who would be the first Hispanic elected president, served as secretary of Housing and Urban Development under former President Barack Obama and has always been viewed as a rising star in the party.
Snow showers should taper off before sunrise Sunday . FOX 5's Gwen Tolbart says snow totals are continuing to increase for the area heading into Saturday evening, with most places now seeing light snow. As a result, drivers were advised to allow extra travel time, reduce speeds and increase their following distances, the weather service said. Seasonable temperatures with highs in the 40s through Thursday , then another winter storm takes aim on Kansas for Friday .
Trump tweeted that "to understand" his plan, "you would have to understand the fact that I won the election, and I promised safety and security for the American people". Trump has kept Washington on edge over whether he would resort to such a declaration, citing what he says is a "crisis" of drug smuggling and the trafficking of women and children at the border.
Erdogan has said his military is prepared to attack swaths of Syria under the control of the Kurdish People's Protection Units. Robertson, in his statement, said the coalition had carried out "logistical measures" to support a withdrawal but did not enter into details.
Stressing that the US has not yet begun pulling out its troops, a second Pentagon official revealed that the USA military had begun a number of preparations for a deliberate withdrawal , noting, "That includes planning for the moving of people and equipment, preparation of facilities to accept retrograde equipment".
And, he said if he had subpoena power, the first thing he'd go after would be the notes from the translator in the Putin meeting. "I couldn't care less". Trump made the demand after a July 2017 meeting with the Russian president at the G-20 conclave in Hamburg, Germany, which was also attended by then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson , the paper reported Saturday.
United States President Donald Trump on Saturday claimed to have a "plan" to end the partial government shutdown, warning at the same time that it could go on for "a long time" if the Democrats do not cooperate. Some posted photos of their empty earnings statements on social media as a rallying cry to end the shutdown, a jarring image that many in the White House feared could turn more voters against the president as he holds out for billions in new wall funding.

This year's Ojai Valley Lavender Festival celebrates survival as well as purple blooms
Claudia Boyd-Barrett
Special to Ventura County Star
The purple blooms bursting from the plants at Ojai Lavender Farms in Upper Ojai this season are a miracle for the Luboff family, albeit a bittersweet one.
Farm owners Tony and Diana Luboff lost their home, barn, truck and almost all their possessions and lavender business materials to the Thomas Fire in December. The family home is now a hole in the ground, their truck reduced to melted shreds of metal.
Yet their half-acre lavender farm inexplicably survived, with only six plants lost to the blaze.
"It was pretty surprising," said Tony Luboff, who is now renting a home with his wife in Ojai while they go through the insurance claim process to rebuild. "Things are definitely different now. But it is nice to come out and see the growth. It's something that is normal."
On Saturday, the Luboffs, along with five other area lavender farmers, will showcase their lavender plants and products at the 15th annual Ojai Valley Lavender Festival. The festival will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at downtown Ojai's Libbey Park.
More events this weekend and on Independence Day
Never 30 podcast: The mystique of Ojai
All the lavender farmers participating in the festival this year suffered in some way from the Thomas Fire, said Maureen Volland, who handles publicity for the event. The nuns who grow lavender at St. Barbara's Monastery in Santa Paula lost many of their plants, she said, although local growers helped replace some of what they lost. Other farmers saw their lavender blooms delayed because of the heat and smoke.
Nevertheless, the farms have recovered sufficiently in time for this Saturday's celebration, she said. Visitors to the festival will be able to buy live lavender plants, fresh and dried lavender bundles, wreaths, sachets and various lavender products including soaps, lotions and oils. A sixth farm, Frog Creek Lavender Farm in Upper Ojai, will host offsite tours where visitors can pick bundles of fresh lavender themselves.
"People love the festival," Volland said. "You enter Ojai and you can smell the lavender; it's beautiful. The whole town participates: Local restaurants serve lavender-flavored menu items; merchants in town offer lavender specials. It's come to be quintessentially Ojai."
Besides the lavender growers, more than 100 vendors will be on hand at the festival, selling a wide variety of products including gourmet oils and balsamic vinegars, specialty lavender lemonade, baked goods and non-alcoholic cocktail mixers and salts. The celebrations will include live music throughout the day, a lavender-themed art show, food trucks, games, prizes and raffles.
Featured speakers will include ecological landscaper Laura Maher of Greywater Gardens, who will present "How to Design, Build and Maintain a Greywater Irrigation System for Your Home Garden" at noon. Artist and musician turned health advocate Amanda Mullins will present "Make Your Favorite Foods Nutritious and Delicious" at 2 p.m.
Money raised from the festival will go toward agriculture-related scholarships and grants for area residents. This year, the festival awarded a $2,000 student scholarship and $7,000 in community grants to local homeowners to restore landscaping destroyed or damaged by the Thomas Fire, including the Luboffs.
"These people lost basically everything, so we were really thrilled to be able to provide a little something," Volland said. "It wasn't huge, but it was just enough to be able to replant something of what they lost."
For the Luboffs, the fire has taken a toll both economically and emotionally, said Tony Luboff. But the family is looking forward to returning to the lavender festival this year and eventually regaining what they've lost.
"The Thomas Fire did not help us one bit, but it's going to make us stronger," he said. "We'll come back stronger and better than ever."
What: Ojai Valley Lavender Festival
When: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday
Where: Libbey Park in downtown Ojai
Parking: Off-site parking, also free and with complimentary shuttle service to the festival, is available at Live Oak Christian Fellowship Church, 441 Church Road; last bus leaves the park at 5 p.m.
Information: www.ojailavenderfestival.org
Also: Frog Creek Farm, an organic lavender farm in Upper Ojai, will offer off-site pick-your-own lavender tours from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on festival day and again on Lavender Sunday, July 1, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a special lavender-growing talk and lavender wand-making workshop from 11 a.m. to noon.

Q: Dúvida referente a Count em comando SQL Preciso contar a quantidade de suprimentos disponíveis no estoque de acordo com o seu codigoSuprimento, para isso criei o seguinte comando sql:
select count(codigosuprimento) quantidade, codigosuprimento from public.estoque where usado = '0' group by codigosuprimento order by codigosuprimento

Porém como eu coloquei que eu gostaria que ele selecionasse apenas os que ainda possuem pelo menos um disponível (usado = '0') quando o suprimento existe no estoque mas não tem nenhum disponível ele não me retorna nada, é possível que ele me retorne 0 caso não haja nenhum disponível no estoque naquele momento?

A: Que tal agrupar usando sum() com um somatório condicional:
SELECT
    sum( CASE WHEN usado = '0' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END ) quantidade,
    codigosuprimento
FROM
    public.estoque
GROUP BY
    codigosuprimento
ORDER BY
    codigosuprimento;

A: Não sei se você teria muito impacto na performance mas poderia fazer dois selects e usar union:
SELECT COUNT(codigosuprimento) quantidade, codigosuprimento
FROM public.estoque
WHERE usado = '0'
GROUP BY codigosuprimento
ORDER BY codigosuprimento

UNION

SELECT distinct 0 as quantidade, codigosuprimento
FROM public.estoque
WHERE usado <> '0'

Behind the Algorithm: How AI Silences Small Creators
A war is brewing between small content creators and Big Tech.
Design by Keyu Lu
By EVAN QIANG
Before Instagram, TikTok, Myspace, or Facebook, there was no such thing as a hashtag or a virtual timeline. The internet was dominated by forums and instant messaging programs where people with similar interests congregated. As tech companies began to shift the focus toward the individual, more and more personalized services populated the increasingly crowded social media market. YouTube and Twitter began to recommend videos or tweets that they thought the users would enjoy rather than forcing people to actively search for content they preferred. Hashtags were created that allowed people to promote their content to a specific market. With more and more users engaging with these suggestions, Big Tech finally had the data to create something unprecedented at the time: algorithms that could mimic human behavior.
Like all other businesses, social media conglomerates have one goal: to maximize profit. To do this, they can attempt to increase the number of users or user engagement. In a perfect world, both would be possible simultaneously. However, as more users join, it becomes more difficult to get them to stay before another application lures them away. This is why machine learning has become so necessary in social media. If a program can't immediately detect someone's interests, then it becomes much harder for them to interact with the content.
The ideal scenario for a user would be a highly specific and tailor–made environment where attention span and uninterrupted focus synergize with one another. A combination of easy access to private messaging, real–time timeline updates, and frequent push notifications would rarely let the user take a minute–long break. However, excessive optimization can result in a systematic inhibition of specific voices, defeating the purpose of algorithms that are meant to be inclusive.
Hashtags and keywords can make the process somewhat more controllable, but there's no guarantee that interactions will be normalized. For instance, users who search the same phrase on Twitter may get remarkably different results depending on the profile Twitter has already established for them. All the tweets that have that phrase will appear, just not in the same order. The order of a search result can depend on accounts a user follows, accounts a user engages with the most, verified accounts, engagement rates, and other factors. Even under the veil of personalization, Twitter still has discretion over what it can choose to display, which has led to controversy.
For instance, everyday users on Twitter are unable to reach high positions on the trending chart and search index due to a lower number of followers, a phenomenon that markedly affects small accounts trying to raise awareness on certain issues. Because the trending tab can already be clogged during a high–level sports event or album release, it is difficult for those with no large built–in audience to effectively reach other people.
Over the past decade, the number of small content creators boomed as it became easier to document one's life. The pandemic accelerated this movement since social media suddenly replaced face–to–face communication. YouTube channels and TikTok accounts became more popular than ever, and many users were within the 18–to 29–year–old demographic. However, this didn't make it any easier to become an overnight sensation. Creating a viral video still requires a good amount of luck, as just one computer–generated recommendation can cause a chain reaction of views and likes.
What would potentially be the role of a real–life moderator who oversees the best tweets or videos and picks the most engaging ones is instead given to a machine. As much as this position can be taught to behave like humans, problematic initial data can crack its foundation. In 2016, Microsoft introduced a Twitter chatbot that would use the conversations it had with its users, learn from them, and develop a language on its own. Compared to other chatbots, Microsoft was one of the first to stray away from pre–written scripts and instead solely depend on people to shape its dialect. Users immediately took advantage of the bot, feeding it racist and misogynistic language that in turn caused the bot to tweet offensive phrases. Microsoft had to suspend the account just 16 hours after its release.
Accusations have also been made against TikTok and Twitter for using biased artificial intelligence. Jalaiah Harmon, a 15–year–old who first created the hugely popular "Renegade" dance, was not initially recognized due to the size of her account. Other content creators such as Charli D'Amelio, one of the most followed users on TikTok, used the same choreography and were credited because of their account size. Similar to other social media platforms, TikTok has a "For You" page which contains recommended content for the user. Large accounts have an inherent advantage here due to their engagement rates, making it difficult for small accounts to shine in the spotlight.
Black TikTok content creators say that Harmon's story is not an isolated one. The algorithm causes the For You page to be racially biased, favoring white TikTokers who profit off the ideas Black TikTokers made first. When TikTok failed to take meaningful action, they took it into their own hands. Black creators went "on strike" after Megan Thee Stallion released her single "Thot S***," a song whose lines and catchy beats are the perfect combination for a new trend. A few weeks later, no viral dance had caught on; instead, the sound was filled with videos that mocked mediocre dance tutorials. This movement was an effective and eye–opening way to see just how much power the algorithm holds. Nothing went viral because there were few dances to begin with, preventing big accounts from leeching off of small ones and using TikTok's For You page to their advantage.
@theericklouis
If y'all do the dance pls tag me ? it's my first dance on Tik tok and I don't need nobody stealing/not crediting
♬ Thot Shit - Megan Thee Stallion
It's promising to see that humans can still have some control over machines, but it requires a coordinated movement and quick mobilization. The power of the algorithm can only be changed by the social media companies themselves. While most have said they would analyze their programs for any bias, only time will tell if algorithms have changed for the better. As much as artificial intelligence has helped us progress as a society, we must also recognize its drawbacks and understand how to counter its fundamental flaws. When we give power to inanimate code and data, voices become unfairly suppressed.

A worry from Missouri
Is a new amendment to the Missouri state constitution going to undermine the teaching of evolution in the state's public schools? On August 7, 2012, voters overwhelmingly approved a proposal (PDF) to revise a portion of the state constitution that concerns freedom of religion. Among the revisions was the addition of a provision "that no student shall be compelled to perform or participate in academic assignments or educational presentations that violate his or her religious beliefs." And that provision, as NCSE's Joshua Rosenau told Science Insider (August 14, 2012), is worrisome from the point of view of science education: "Those words give students the legal right to skip assignments related to evolution if the subject matter conflicts with their beliefs, Rosenau says."
Evolution was not mentioned in the proposal and was not apparently mentioned in the legislature's discussion of House Joint Resolution 2, the instrument that placed the proposal on the ballot. Opponents of the proposal warned, however, that the integrity of science education was at stake. Michael McKay of the Skeptical Society of St. Louis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (July 30, 2012) that "if the amendment passes, students could graduate from school without having taken an important science class, avoid learning about evolution," and The New York Times (August 6, 2012) editorially expressed a similar concern that the proposal "would allow students who believe in creationism, for example, to opt out of assignments on evolution."
Susan German, president of the Science Teachers of Missouri, told Science Insider, "It could be an issue. There are teachers that work in very conservative districts and they already have students on a yearly basis that voice their concerns about having to learn some of these concepts," and recommended that her colleagues "wait and see what the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education advises them to do" before taking any action in light of the new amendment. It remains to be seen whether teachers will be expected to provide substitute assignments for students who object to assignments on evolution and whether schools and the state will be prohibited from testing such students from their understanding of the material covered in such assignments.
"It's a recipe for disaster," commented NCSE's executive director Eugenie C. Scott. "With the new amendment in place, Missouri's biology teachers are bound to receive a flurry of requests — or demands — for students to be excused from learning about evolution. And that's going to create trouble, since nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution." Citing a 2008 article she and NCSE's Glenn Branch published in Evolution: Education and Outreach 1(2), she argued that if teachers are forced to accommodate such requests, the result would be disruptive for the classroom, burdensome for teachers, and problematic for administrators, as well as harmful to the scientific literacy of the students excused.

B17: 1928 Sandringham class
The 'Sandringham' class had a tortuous beginning. In 1927 new locomotives were urgently needed on the GE section, but the development of a new design was hampered by the need to keep to a low axle weight. The bridges on the Great Eastern Section had been very lightly constructed and a severe axle-load limit was in operation. Further, the small turntables limited locomotive length. Until 1928 the largest locomotives per mitted were the Holden B12 4-6-0s, which had an adhesion weight of 44 tons.
Gresley was faced with a difficult situation on the Great Eastern Section. A 2-6-4T was being developed for the Southend services, but work ceased on this partly due to the Sevenoaks accident and partly through the need for mainline motive power.
Because of the delay, the Chief General Manager requested the LNER Board for permission to order twenty B12s. Not surprisingly, this was refused, and only ten were authorised. Robert Stephenson submitted the lowest tender at £5943 per locomotive, but Beyer Peacock was successful at £5975 as faster delivery was promised. However, after the order had been placed on Beyer, Peacock, Gresley decided that the locomotives should be provided with Lentz poppet valves.
Meanwhile, negotiations were taking place with North British Locomotive Co for the development of a three-cylnder 4-6-0 costing £7280 each with a maximum axle load of 18 tons per axle in which the use of three cylinders permitted the adhesion weight to be raised to 54 tons. The nominal tractive effort of the new design was 25,280 lbf, which represented an increase of 3,411 lbf compared with the earlier 4-6-0s. The first batch was built by the North British Locomotive Co. and H.A.V. Bulleid (Master builders of steam p. 61) has stated that this Company undertook the detailed design work. See also Thompson B2 class.
In the meantime, because of Doncaster's lack of progress on the new 4-6-0 design, Lord Faringdon, the LNER Deputy Chairman, took the matter direct to Sir Hugh Reid, Chairman of the North British Locomotive Company, which had recently built the 50 LMS 'Royal Scots'. NBL solved the latter by disregarding Gresley's insistence on single axle drive, and, by moving the inside cylinder forward to drive on to the leading axle, weight was transferred to the bogie, so reducing the weight on the coupled wheels.
NBL was aggrieved that further orders went to Darlington, and there was a further major confrontation with Beyer Peacock concerning the B12 order which had been modified to incorporate Lentz valve gear. At that time, Beyer Peacock was run by Sir Sam Fay and R.H. Whitelegg, and legal action was nearly taken against the LNER
Relationships between the two suppliers ultimately improved and led to orders for J39s from Beyer Peacock in 1936 and NBL for K3s delivered in 1935. The Lentz B12s were unsuccessful and had to be rebuilt with piston valves. Bridge restrictions on the GE Section were gradually eased.
After delivery had been completed, Beyer, Peacock and the LNER were in dispute over the price. An acrimonious letter from Sir Sam Fay (then the Chairman of Beyer, Peacock) to Nigel Gresley led to an additional payment by the LNER of £1,500, to keep the matter out of the courts.
But whatever may have been said originally, future B17s were built by Darlington (for whom Armstrong Whitworth provided some of the boilers) and Robert Stephenson, but none by NBL.

The B17 class suffered from loose seats and loose cabs. It was difficult for the fitters to reach the piston glands for the inside cylinder. On the other hand there was less on the 2 to 1 arm as it was behind the cylinders, but maintaining the regulator valve of No. 1647 was difficult. He obtained a ride on 1648 Arsenal, and this was very rough, but also very fast.
Hoole, K. North Road Locomotive Works, Darlington, 1863-1966. 1967 "These three-cylinder engines [B17] were a six-coupled version of the "Shire" class but considering the fact that the design was prepared in two different drawing offices the similarity is remarkable".

I may not be the most fashionable person but I think fashion is fun and should never be taken seriously. Add to that how I definitely want to stay as chic as I possibly can be on a third world paycheck and in residence at the suburbs. My sartorial taste might not be fasyon enough for you (read: baduy or uncouth) but its what I'm comfortable in. Sometimes, dressing up is enough pick-me-upper and I love looking at pretty dresses even if some of the clothes I'm lusting on sells for an amount that some people in my third world country could never amass in their lifetime.
Just another day in BORACAY.
The lakwatseras are a bit embarrassed when Journeying James on the 5TH DAY OF HIS MINDANAO CHALLENGE finally set foot in Davao and we're drawing a blank where to bring him. It was his first time here and all we could come up with are stops that are dictated by our stomachs.We brought him to our personal favorite Italian (!) restaurant- SPIRALE in Damosa and a uniqely Davao coffee shop - Blugre with its signature Durian coffee but we wished to have shown more of the city to him.
So last Monday, in an effort to explore and know this city more, we joined the Davao Bloggers on their photo walk along the busy streets of San Pedro and as always, stuffing these lakwatseras faces (well, just the other half actually, just guess which one), with delicious and dirt cheap (no pun intended) street side delights was the highlight of the activity.
Visited Osmena Park, Davao City Museum (picture taking is not allowed in the museum) and San Pedro Cathedral as well. The cathedral, right across the city hall is the oldest church in the city but a service was on going and we felt it disrespectful to snap photos.
From SINGAPORE, it was a 5 hour Transnasional freezing cold bus ride to get to the cultural, financial and economic centre of Malaysia.
Malaysia populated with an estimated 1.6 million people who adores Jericho Rosales because of a soap opera and his reel (and real?) pairing with Malaysian actress Carmen Soo.
Laksa? haha sorry, I forgot but it was delicious.
It is also the most densely populated district in Malaysia and the streets are bursting with life and traffic jam. Bicycles, buses and foreign cars darting past us and clogging the streets, Abayas (traditional Muslim clothing) mingled with western dresses, the locals carrying grocery bags and bread and flowers wove around us tourists with our brightly colored holiday clothes and cameras slung on our necks trying to capture the curiosities of their everyday life.
hopping on and off the tourist bus which is a great way to get around the city when you have a limited time.
We thought 24 hours would be enough to see all the highlights and move on to Penang and then eventually THAILAND but we have sorely underestimated the traffic jam. Oh well, another reason to go back.
Tan Son Nhat International Airport lies 6 km of the city's center. The airport code is SGN. If you're a Philippines Passport holder, there's no need for a visa but you have to fill in an arrival departure card. Most of the time it's distributed by flight attendants on board, if not, you can find one at the arrivals lounge before you queue for the immigration.
Foreign exchange rate counters can be found after you clear immigration and claimed your luggage. At the time of our travel, PHP 1 is equivalent to VND 400 or USD 1 to VND 20,000, same rate on our hotel. So if you do the math, even with your meager travel dollars, you're an instant millionaire in the Vietnamese soil.
There's an official taxi desk (SASCO) and the fee is less than 10 USD to get you to the city. The cheaper alternative is the bus which leaves every 15 minutes from outside the departure lounge. Try to have the exact change when you take the bus.
Checked in at a cozy and clean standard room in Saigon Mini 1, the hotel is conveniently located in District 1 where most of the sights in the city can be found. Name and address of the hotel in the Vietnamese language: KHACH SAN SAIGON MINI 1 - 102/1A CONG QUYNH, QUAN 1.
Had a steaming bowl of delicious pho (Vietnamese beef noodle soup dish) and a really good cup of ca phe sua nong (Vietnamese hot coffee with milk) for breakfast, courtesy of our hotel to start our first full day in the city of Ho Chi Minh, formerly known as Saigon.
The MAIN ATTRACTIONS can be visited all within a day as most sights are concentrated in District 1, or the city center, and are within walking distance from each other except for the Chinese Temple at District 5 and the War Remnants Museum at District 3.
In District 1, The Notre Dame Cathedral and Central Post Office are situated right across each other. Not too far from there is the former Hotel De Ville de Saigon turned into HCMC's City Hall. In front of it is a beautifully manicured park with the statue of Uncle Ho.
Cab rides are inexpensive and metered provided you take the more reputable Vinasun or Mai Linh taxis. These two have the largest fleet and turns their meter on automatically. Be careful of other taxi companies who closely copy the name and logos and charges more than the usual rates.
Staying in the area of district 1 at 160 Pasteur Street, an old mansion turned into a well patronized restaurant QUAN AN NGON is lunch. The menu offer a huge range of international and traditional dishes on prices just a bit north of street side food prices. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious that we had to eat there again before flying out.
To get a better grasp of another neighbor's countries' life and pace, we try to allocate a time to explore out of the city. For this trip, our fancy was caught by a coastal province 200 km northeast of HCMC with its landscape of sandy crescent shores and lively fishing villages, shallow streams and red rock formations and of course, its massive Saharan dunes and sand sledding.
We left the city at 8 am and got to MUI NE 5 hours after. After hurriedly washing off the grimes off our faces and a quick bite at our front beach Thai Hoa resort , we hopped on an air- conditioned vehicle for 14 USD/person and proceeded to a scenic drive to explore this charming place.
We capped the night with a bottle of a local beer and a glass of mango daiquiri at the resort pool by the sea.
The day before, upon arriving in Mui Ne, we have arranged a pick up at the tourist center for 8 am. Exactly on time, a bus rolled off in front of our resort to bring us back to the city.
After checking back in at Saigon Mini 1, we walked around the area of a shopping square looking for lunch. Tucked in a narrow alley, we discovered the quaint Utopia café with its walls crammed with books. Sat on an al fresco table with our sandwiches and tall glasses of ca phe sa dua watching the Saigon world go by.
Done with lunch, squandering our millions of Dongs away for souvenirs and pasalubong shopping is what's next on the agenda. But I got to tell you, we may be certified millionaires in the land of pho's, but still a pauper in spending power. The must buy souvenir red shirt with a single yellow star printed on it costs 100,000 Dong (5 USD). American brands over run shirts costs around 200-500,000 Dong.
SAIGON SQUARE 1 - small, too crowded, better haggling chances, almost feels like Greenhills' tiangge on a Christmas season. Here you will find a traditional Vietnamese clothing and souvenirs, few designer knock-offs, over run shirts, bags and luggage's (Roxy, Crumpler, Kipling) and a lot of The North Face merchandise. Address is Nguyen Thi Minh Kai St, District 1.
SAIGON SQUARE 2 – bigger and better air-conditioning. A lot of American brand over runs, dvds, accessories and watches. Address in Ton Duc Thang St, District 1.
BEN THAN MARKET – un air-conditioned maze of stalls filled with every souvenir item you could think off but display more of their locally made produce. Don't inquire about prices if you're not too keen on buying as their marketing strategy is overly aggressive and a bit on the physical side to the point of tugging forcefully on your shirt and slapping your shoulders if you walk away not buying anything after asking.
Laden with shopping bags, we made our way back to the hotel to drop off our newly acquired stuff and dinner before proceeding to Rong Vang Theater at #55 Nguyen Thi Minh Kai, District 1 to catch the 8 PM WATER PUPPET SHOW. It is a historical and cultural showcase of an old Vietnamese tradition that started in the 11th century and one you shouldn't miss when in the land of phos.
Although HCMC is the most populous metropolitan area in Vietnam, the pace of life seems unhurried and on our last day we tried to emulate the locals and just take it easy and soak it all in. Sipped and savored glasses after glasses of ca phe sa dua and warmed and filled our tummies with phos anywhere we can get them because its criminal not to and just wandered around aimlessly.
Mid day with the oppressive heat and to pass away the time before our flight, we ducked into a curiously unique WAR REMNANTS MUSEUM at 28 Vo Van Tan in District 3. A walled yard with a series of buildings with war memorabilia on display.
FANNY'S ICE CREAM is a good place to cool down to and get my bearing after the encounter with that unique museum with their ingeniously presented sorbets and ice cream.
Last minute packing and we're off to Tan Son Nhat International Airport. If you're on an international flight, proceed to Terminal 2 as Terminal 1 is for the use of Domestic flights. Duty Free shopping and dining places are quite limited.
Holidays seem to be the perfect excuse for excess. We'd save our money so we can afford to be buttered up and be deliciously sloshed overseas that when we come back, we're almost always full of exotic cravings. There's a shared unspoken belief where we consume a lot and feel half as guilty.
Lucky for our frail livers and cholesterol concerns, Vietnamese cuisine tips the scale on the healthier side. The Vietnamese are largely known and admired for their use of fresh ingredients with an abundance of fruits and vegetables and a whole universe of herbs. Most meats are only briefly cooked to retain their original color and grain. Fish sauce and soy sauce are used to season their dishes. As it is, every bite is a delightful mix and contrast of texture and a fusion of flavors.
Like any parts of Southeast Asia, you can get your fill of palate pleasers anywhere. There's a wide range of places to eat at in the former city of Saigon and you can be spoiled for choice. From boiling pots of phos on the pavement, mobile food carts with roasts and banh mi, street side cafes to upscale restaurants - from local Vietnamese cuisine with French influence to international epicurean delights.
But Quan An Ngon hands down was a favorite; the food is undeniably good that we had to eat there twice. Housed in an old mansion located at 160 Pasteur Street in District 3, the menu offer an extensive range of international and traditional dishes on prices that won't make quite a dent on the budget.
The 2 times we we're there, the place is always full with a jolly mix of locals and foreign expats.
TIP: Try not to hit the lunch or dinner hour rush without a reservation, as you might not get seated right away.
Our distended bellies were satisfyingly stuffed some more with these.
Pho bho or Vietnamese beef noodle soup.
Spicy grilled beef on skewers served with lime, pepper and sea salt on a bed of greens.
Fried fat chicken wings in fish sauce with a side dish of pickled vegetables.
Tart and sweet prawns in herby tamarind sauce.
Good eats and vacations are inextricably linked.
HOW TO GET THERE: the restaurant is located at 160 Pasteur, 8th Ward, District 3and can easily be reached by a cab.


We leave for a two week excursion to the Fiji Islands this coming Thursday. Our hopes are for some outstanding weather so that we can bring back some beautiful photographs for the new Websites.
Our first week will be spent shooting underwater photography while on the live-aboard dive vessel 'Fiji Aggressor II' and then the following week we will be on one of Fiji's small outer islands in the Mamanuca Group known as 'Castaway Island'. This will be our first trip to the South Pacific and we plan on making the best of it both above and below the ocean. If we have access to the internet during our stay in Fiji, we will try to upload some images or even a slideshow along with some trip reports to keep everyone interested until we can get back and edit all the photographs from the trip.
Stay tuned… there will be more to follow!!
This is the first post for Tropical Imagery Photography, a new Website designed to bring our viewers the very best Island Photographs ever seen on the Web!!
Over the next several weeks we will be changing the look and feel of our Website so as to make it a more user friendly online resource for finding and purchasing high quality photographic tropical island prints. Our viewers will also be able to use this 'travel journal' to get updated information on new and upcoming photo shoot expeditions.
Not all of the islands we visit have internet access, but when they do we like to use this section of our site for uploading new images and trip reports while on location. We will also have important information & permanent links to all of our newly uploaded photo galleries posted here.
Stay tuned… there is more to come!

When Jess met Jake: Here's what happened during the "New Girl" and "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" crossover
By Rachel paige
What happens when two of our favorite shows join forces for a whole HOUR of comedy? Lots and lots of LOL-worthy moments, that's what. For one-night only, the worlds of New Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine joined forces, for what is undoubtedly the television event of the season. Because, WHAT could possibly go wrong when Jess Day meets Jake Peralta?
Answer: Everything.
The crossover begins during Brooklyn Nine-Nine, when Jake is chasing a bad guy, and rudely steals Schmidt's mom's car while Jess is driving (we later learn the whole loft crew is in New York City to see Schmidt get a ~big award~ at his high school). Jake then, very gracefully, crashes Schmidt's mom's car, spilling soup absolutely everywhere. Because, obviously Jess has soup with her at the time. This sends Jess off to the Nine-Nine precinct to file a report.
This is also the LAST STRAW for Jess when it comes to NYC. Last time she was here, she had an awful time and is determined to make this trip better. The incident with Schmidt's mom's car doesn't help at all, but eventually she does get to the root of why she has beef with NYC:
After a heart to heart with Captain Holt (!!), Jess realizes that the last time she was in town, she cut her trip short to go back home to LA and surprise her then boyfriend, Spencer. THAT Spencer. The Spencer Jess breaks up with during the first episode of New Girl.
NYC hasn't been pushing Jess in the wrong direction, it's been pushing her in the right direction — and the direction this time is to help Schmidt out with his high school award speech. Aww.
So in the end, Jake catches his criminal and Jess is there for Schmidt. Oh, and then everyone runs into Coach who just happens to be hanging around NYC and it's not awkward or anything.
JK. He confesses he's been to LA a bunch of times and never stopped by the loft, so it's all good.
