KASHIMA, IBARAKI PREF. - Brazilian midfielder Leo Silva made an early bid for goal of the season as the Kashima Antlers came back to beat table-topping Nagoya Grampus 2-1 in the J. League on Friday night.
The 33-year-old attacker struck the winner with nine minutes left at Kashima Stadium, picking up the ball near the center circle and scything his way past five defenders before beating goalkeeper Mitchell Langerak from close range.
The visitors, who came into the match with four wins from five, were the more impressive side for most of the contest and will return home to Aichi Prefecture regretting missed opportunities.
Gabriel Xavier gave Grampus a well-deserved lead two minutes into the second half before Shoma Doi leveled the scores with his first goal of the season.
Silva, now in his third year with Antlers, said he could barely recall the highlight goal, which he dedicated to his son celebrating a birthday back in Brazil.
"To be honest, I can't really remember much of it. I remember shooting and scoring, and that's about it," Silva said.
"I guess I could see there was space, and the defense opened up a bit so I could make my run.
After falling behind on Xavier's close-range opener — which went through hands and between the legs of goalkeeper Kwoun Sun-tae — the Antlers were fortunate to equalize through Doi in the 72nd minute.
The winger tapped in from near the six-yard box after Ryota Nagaki found him inside a crowded area.
Brazilian striker Jo hit the post from the area in the first half, then blew a chance to put up Grampus 2-0 in the second when he was unable to corral a through-ball from Xavier directly in front of goal.
Xavier missed Jo inside the six-yard box late in the first half, squandering a superb counterattack by sending his cross behind last year's golden boot winner.
Frustrations between the teams spilled over in the closing stages, with Nagoya substitute Mateus triggering a shoving match, and earning a yellow card, with a rough challenge on Kento Misao.
Grampus' strong start to the season marks a major turnaround from last year, when they finished the campaign in a battle to avoid relegation back to J2.
The loss leaves them one point ahead of second-place FC Tokyo, which has the chance to take first place with a win over Shimizu S-Pulse on Saturday.
In other first-division action, Kawasaki Frontale were held 1-1 by visiting Cerezo Osaka at Todoroki Stadium.
Kei Chinen equalized for back-to-back J1 champions Frontale after Yoichiro Kakitani put the visitors ahead with his first goal of the season.
Marcus Junior scored a brace, while Rikuto Hirose opened his account, as visiting Yokohama F. Marinos thrashed Urawa Reds 3-0.


I have a factory rear seat for a YJ that I'll sell for $50. It is finished in the o.e. grey vinyl with sort of a houndstooth pattern. It is a "fold and tumble style seat. It is in excellent condition with no rips or tears. Shipping is available. I would estimate shipping at around $25 to almost anywhere in the cont. US.

HORROR FLICK MASTER INVOLVES VCC STUDENTS IN LATEST EFFORT
By Catherine Hinman of The Sentinel Staff
This you should know: The man who wrote and directed the horror classic Night of the Living Dead and its sequels appears to be perfectly normal.
In fact, George Romero, creator of some of the most blood-chilling films you'll ever see, is a warm, aw-shucks kind of guy. Today, at 54, this icon of horror film circles is directing a mock documentary called Jacaranda Joe with students at Valencia Community College. They have been shooting on the campus and in Center Hill.
Avuncular, quick to laugh, bearded in Papa Hemingway fashion, Romero is every bit as approachable as Mr. Rogers.
It's just that he loves a good fright. Growing up in the Bronx, nothing for him could beat an afternoon in the theaters with Frankenstein, Dracula and - his all-time favorite - The Thing. In the end all he wanted to do was spin yarns.
Romero was a 28-year-old Wunderkind working in Pittsburgh when he produced Night of the Living Dead for $70,000 and set a new standard in the American horror genre. The overriding theme of that film was miscommunication, that is, listen to your fellow man or you'll get eaten alive by zombies.
That was his first feature and he has been scaring the daylights out of moviegoers ever since. He produced two sequels, Dawn of the Dead (1978) and Day of the Dead (1985) and has collaborated on films with novelist Stephen King, including Creepshow (1982) and Dark Half (1990). He was executive producer of the television's Tales from the Dark Side.
At 6 feet 3 inches, Romero is almost as tall as Joe, the shaggy-haired Big Foot character that will be unnerving the fictional Florida town of Jacaranda in his VCC film. Make no mistake, Romero aims to have the audiences for this film unnerved as well.
Jacaranda Joe, which Romero wrote, is an experiment. In the faux documentary, a Geraldo Rivera-like TV talk show host investigates an encounter with the alleged monster on a hunting show. Romero wants to know if audiences can be scared by a documentary format, if they can be frightened when they don't know much about the story's characters.
A resident of Sanibel, Romero will finish the first half of the film this week and return to VCC next year to complete the last. In the interim, Romero hopes to find studio backing for the film so that it can be released theatrically.
Romero is currently working on scripts for four films, including a remake of The Mummy for Universal.
"Some people like horseradish, and some people don't," he said. "I think it (horror) puts you in touch with some part of yourself that you don't know is there . . . It comes out like a laugh or a tear. Who knows? So I think maybe you learn a little something about yourself when that happens."

The 1000th Fendt 1000 Vario goes to Canada
After the launch of the first major serial run of its new flagship series, Fendt 1000 Vario, in Autumn 2016, Fendt can now announce the first production milestone for the world's most powerful standard tractor. On Wednesday, 20 December 2017, much earlier than expected, the 1000th Fendt 1000 Vario rolled off the production line.
The 380 hp Fendt 1038 Vario was ordered through the highly successful Canadian Fendt dealer, Maple Lane Farm Service Inc., Mount Forest, Ontario, and will be delivered to Jeremy and Herman Terpstra at their dairy farm, Terpstra Farms Ltd, in Brussels, Ontario, Canada. The special-milestone tractor is set to sail to Canada in the next few days, and will be in the hands of the Terpstra family in late February 2018. "We are delighted with the excellent worldwide acceptance of our new 1000 Vario high-power tractor models. At up to 517 hp, they have shaped a new market and are now delivered in a total of 35 countries throughout Europe, North and South America, Africa, Australia and Asia," says Peter-Josef Paffen, Chairman of the AGCO/Fendt Management Board.
Production milestone at Fendt: on Wednesday, 20 December 2017, the 1000th Fendt 1000 Vario rolled off the production line. The Fendt 1038 Vario will be used on a large dairy farm in Ontario, Canada.
The Fendt 1000 Vario was a blank-canvas innovation that filled the previous gap in the 380-517 hp power range for standard tractors. This was the first time a model has been designed to the requirements of professionals in large-scale farming from around the world, and is seen as Fendt's first global tractor model.
Its outstanding features include a comprehensive and fuel-saving low-rpm concept "Fendt ID", a new generation of Fendt Drive technology "Fendt VarioDrive", up to 60 km/h transport speed and a smart ballast design including tyre control pressure system.
Fendt's Managing Directors sign the certificate of congratulations marking the 1000th Fendt 1000 Vario. Left to right: Peter-Josef Paffen, Chairman of the Board, Ekkehart Gläser, Director of Production, Dr. Heribert Reiter, Director of Research & Development and Purchasing, and Michael Gschwender, Director of Finance and IT.
Multi-stage market launch for an exceptional product
Fendt premièred the launch in July 2014, with a preview in front of the international press at the world-famous Neuschwanstein Castle at Füssen in Bavaria. The first photos and details of the 500 hp Fendt 1050 Vario standing in front of Neuschwanstein Castle grabbed worldwide attention. A year later, production started on the first pilot series followed by a full presentation before and during the world's leading international trade fair, Agritechnica 2015. In 2016, interested farmers were able to test the Fendt 1000 Vario live as it toured Europe and North America. From September 2016, the first larger quantities of the 1000 series were produced, and were soon delivered to its first customers. The feedback from customers after first use was extremely positive.
Much earlier than expected, the 1000th Fendt 1000 Vario rolled off the production line on Wednesday, 20 December 2017. Peter-Josef Paffen, Chairman of the Board (left) celebrates the production milestone with colleagues and employees from every area of the business.
16 international awards for the Fendt 1000 Vario
The Fendt 1000 series received a total of 16 international awards in 6 different countries for its sophisticated overall concept, special technical detailed innovations and for its new design. Among them the "Tractor of the Year 2016", "Machine of the Year 2016" in the XXL Tractor category and the coveted "Public Award", gold medals and much more.
500 units in Fendt Nature Green and Challenger Yellow delivered to North and South America
The 1000-series models have gone down a storm in the US market and Canada. 310 Yellow units have now been delivered through the Caterpillar dealer network under the Challenger AGCO brand and almost 200 units via the Fendt dealer network. The first demonstrations at major customers in South America are also promising.
500 units in Europe, Africa, Australia/New Zealand and Asia
The other half of the 1000 delivered 1000-series models went to customers in Europe, Africa, Australia/New Zealand and Asia. Priority countries ordering higher quantities are Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, Russia and Denmark.
Two new world records for DLG PowerMix fuel consumption
Now also confirmed by an independent expert! The German Agricultural Company, DLG, and the editorial staff of profi magazine tested two Fendt 1000-series models and determined the fuel consumption on the new DLG PowerMix roller dynamometer. The result: The Fendt 1042 Vario consumes an average total of 236 g/kWh of diesel across the 12 different PowerMix cycles. The Fendt 1046 Vario uses another two grams less than that, at 234 g/kWh. That sets two new world records in fuel consumption. The low-rpm concept and a number of new technical detailed solutions offer decisive advantages in terms of fuel consumption and overall economy.

In the spring and early summer of 1965, U.S. ground troops began their first tentative patrols into the South Vietnamese countryside. The purpose of these patrols was four-fold: 1) to keep the Vietcong away from U.S. bases; 2) to ensure the safe arrival of American reinforcements at the American-occupied coastal enclaves; 3) to familiarize U.S. troops with South Vietnam's varied environments; 4) and to experiment with tactics.
Several top policymakers in the Johnson administration favored a period of tactical experimentation, believing such experimentation could help the White House decide whether to commit the United States to a large-scale ground war in South Vietnam. Maxwell Taylor, who served as U.S. Ambassador to South Vietnam in early 1965, became a proponent of tactical experimentation because he doubted that U.S. troops could succeed in a counter-insurgency role in rural South Vietnam. Taylor verbalized his concerns in a conversation with Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara in March. McNamara later recounted the conversation to President Johnson, "…Max believes that U.S. troops would have great difficulty operating in South Vietnam – particularly in a counter-guerrilla role, where they'd be operating by themselves in the countryside. They'd have difficulty in distinguishing Vietcong from Vietnamese, be attacking South Vietnamese villages, make mistakes and kill loyal South Vietnamese people…He says that our troops…are poorly trained as counter-guerrillas." Taylor worried that U.S. troops, wholly ignorant of Vietnamese cultural norms, would only spur the insurgency, rather than squash it.
Presidential adviser George Ball became the strongest advocate of tactical experimentation. In a June 18, 1965, memo to the president, he argued that the roughly 15,000 combat troops now in South Vietnam should operate on a trial basis until the end of the rainy season in October. At that point, the administration could evaluate the tactical successes and failures of these troops before authorizing additional reinforcements. Ball wrote, "I propose that we also treat the monsoon season as a test period since we do not yet have enough experience with the direct employment of American combat forces to appraise our chances for military success in the South." Ball believed that if the tactical experimentation period showed that U.S. troops could not find the enemy, had trouble functioning in South Vietnam's rice paddies, heat, and monsoonal rains, and that the South Vietnamese population viewed the U.S. troops as foreign invaders, similar to the French in the 1940s and 1950s, then Johnson would be wise to cap the U.S. troop build-up at 100,000 men. Ball further argued that 100,000 troops would provide the U.S. with the necessary leverage to negotiate a compromise political settlement for South Vietnam with the Communists. In other words, the Communists would have to come to the table to talk to the U.S., since they could not easily push 100,000 U.S. troops out of Vietnam. According to Ball, the compromise that might be achieved in any future peace talks could involve a coalition government in Saigon that included Communists within its ranks – or neutralization of South Vietnam as a precursor to eventual Communist control of the country. Ball ended his memo to the president by stating, "…on the basis of our experience during that trial period we will then appraise the costs and possibilities of waging a successful land war in South Viet-Nam and chart a clear course of action accordingly…." For Ball, tactical experimentation would show the White House the way forward through the Vietnam morass.
National Security Adviser McGeorge Bundy, his brother William, who served in the State Department, as well as retired General John Gavin, all believed that a tactical experimentation phase would assist the U.S. in determining the best overall war strategy – especially whether American troops should be assigned a counter-insurgency role or a more traditional conventional military role.
During the first months of the troop build-up, American war planners considered five strategy options for a potential U.S. ground war in South Vietnam: 1) a counter-insurgency strategy; 2) an enclave strategy; 3) a combination enclave and counter-insurgency strategy – known as the "oil spot" approach; 4) an enclave strategy with a mobile reserve force; and 5) a hinterland strategy that emphasized the destruction of enemy main forces in remote areas of South Vietnam. Each strategy had its adherents, each had its pros and cons, and each had its own unique geographical characteristics.
Unfortunately for the Americans, two events in early- and mid-1965 precluded any tactical experimentation. One was the Vietcong's spring lull and the other was the Communists' rainy season offensive.
The lull in Vietcong military activity from mid-March to late May made it difficult for the U.S. to draw any lessons from its initial, limited involvement in the ground war. For reasons that are not entirely clear, the Vietcong did little to thwart the U.S. build-up or the deployment of U.S. troops on the immediate environs of the coastal enclaves. American units established themselves at their base sites largely unopposed. Granted, local guerrillas took potshots at G.I.'s setting up their tents or digging foxholes on the edges of their bases, but no Vietcong main forces launched any full-scale attacks against the U.S. enclaves or the small American infantry units patrolling near the big U.S. bases.
The lull may have been designed to conserve Vietcong strength for their upcoming monsoon offensive, set to begin in May. Or more likely, the Communists used the lull to observe U.S. tactics, weapons, and equipment in order to more effectively counter the new enemy they found in their midst. Hanoi may also have held back its forces in the South in order not to provoke the U.S. into a full-scale ground war. It's quite possible the Hanoi leadership opted for a wait-and-see approach to the increasing American presence, believing the Americans would recognize the difficulties of conducting military operations in South Vietnam and decide to stay put on their big bases, leaving the field of battle to the Vietcong and the South Vietnamese Army.
There was another possible reason for the lull – Hanoi decided that sending its hardened main forces against green U.S. units would only lead to a massive escalation in the ground and air war, something Hanoi wanted to avoid. A final explanation for the lull – the intensified U.S. bombing across the South since February had thrown the Vietcong off-balance and hindered its ability to counter the build-up. One of the anonymous authors of the Pentagon Papers believed the major increase in U.S. airstrikes had led to the lull, "The Vietcong were unusually inactive throughout March and April…it was assumed that he was merely pausing to regroup and to assess the effect of the changed American participation in the war embodied in air strikes and in the Marines." In many respects, the spring lull resembled round one of a boxing match as both contenders danced around the ring trying to get a feel for their opponent's strengths and weaknesses.
In late May the lull came to an abrupt end. The Vietcong began their monsoon offensive by first isolating Danang. On May 24, 1965, the guerrillas blew up four bridges and two culverts along the rail line between Danang and Hue. A week later, a Vietcong force, estimated at five battalions, destroyed two ARVN battalions and an elite Ranger battalion at Ba Gia, near Quang Ngai City. The ARVN lost 350 dead and 350 wounded at Ba Gia. Then, in the last week of May, Vietcong main forces went into action all across South Vietnam, methodically chewing up the demoralized, and increasingly panic-stricken, South Vietnamese Army. General Westmoreland speculated that the Communists sought to bring about the GVN's collapse before U.S. troop reinforcements could rescue it.
In one five-day period of fighting in late May and the first days of June, the South Vietnamese suffered 1,000 casualties. But ARVN losses did not stop there. Convinced that the war's momentum had swung decisively in their favor, the Vietcong kept up the pressure. In the first week of June, hundreds of ARVN soldiers died in Vietcong attacks. In the second week of June, the GVN suffered 1,672 casualties, the largest one-week casualty rate of the war to date.
The destruction of so much South Vietnamese combat power in such a short period of time set off alarm bells in Saigon and Washington. South Vietnamese military commanders told their American counterparts that the ARVN would not survive the present round of fighting unless the United States became fully engaged in ground combat operations against the Vietcong. And if the South Vietnamese military, and by implication the Government of South Vietnam, were to survive the year, the U.S. needed to abandon its defensive posture around its bases and send its troops immediately into the countryside to search out and destroy the Communist main forces – the very units that were scoring so many dramatic successes against the ARVN. U.S. military officials in Saigon agreed with their South Vietnamese counterparts – the ARVN was on the ropes and only U.S. combat troops and airpower could halt the South's looming collapse.
To prevent the ARVN's disintegration, and ultimately the loss of South Vietnam, Westmoreland asked Sharp for the authorization to expand the Tactical Area of Responsibility (TAOR) of U.S. units. At the start of the monsoon offensive, U.S. ground combat units had authority to operate only on the environs of U.S. bases. Westmoreland wanted the TAORs expanded to include all known Vietcong base areas. He informed Sharp that the extension of the TAORs would protect U.S. installations and prevent the Vietcong from concentrating their forces against the U.S. enclaves. Although couched in defensive terms, Westmoreland was in-fact asking for the authority to go on the offensive all across South Vietnam, since Vietcong base areas existed throughout the country.
Westmoreland made it appear that the protection of U.S. bases served as the primary reason he needed the TAOR extension, when in reality he wanted the TAORs expanded across South Vietnam in order for U.S. troops to fully engage in offensive operations against the Vietcong and North Vietnamese Army. By framing the TAOR extension as a defensive measure, Westmoreland made it hard for President Johnson to reject the request. Had the president ruled against Westmoreland, he might later face accusations that he impaired the ability of a field commander to defend his troops against large, menacing enemy formations, something few presidents have ever been willing to do. Johnson understood that a rejection of the TAOR request had the potential to come back and haunt him, especially if the Vietcong main forces succeeded in inflicting massive casualties on the U.S. troops stationed at one of the enclaves. And yet the president, who already leaned toward a greater U.S. role in the ground war, recognized that Westmoreland's request also provided him with the political cover to pursue an expanded U.S. role in the war. By meeting the needs of his field commander, Johnson removed some of the onus for the U.S. escalation in the South from his own shoulders and made it the responsibility of Westmoreland.
Johnson also recognized that had Westmoreland's TAOR request been framed as a necessary step to save the South Vietnamese (which in fact it was), it would have been less appealing to the public, to Congress, and to the doubters and naysayers in the Department of Defense who wanted to avoid a major ground war in Southeast Asia. The opponents of U.S. escalation argued that only the South Vietnamese could save South Vietnam from Communism; no foreign, White military force could do the job for them. On the other hand, Westmoreland and Johnson both knew that the opponents of major U.S. involvement in South Vietnam would find it difficult, if not impossible, to criticize a decision to protect the U.S. forces already in harm's way by expanding the TAORs.
In the end, Johnson rationalized a major U.S. escalation in the ground war as a necessary step to ensure the safety of the U.S. forces already in the country. He had been using this justification since March when he sent the Marines to Danang. Now he used it to justify sending U.S. troops against the Communists' main forces. Interestingly, at the height of the Tet Offensive two and a half years later, Johnson would use the same argument to justify a further increase in the U.S. troop level in South Vietnam. And at the end of his administration in January 1969, LBJ would go so far as to claim that he could not begin a U.S. troop withdrawal from South Vietnam without endangering the half million troops stationed there.
On June 26, 1965, Johnson approved Westmoreland's request to expand the TAORs in South Vietnam. The President gave Westmoreland the authority to commit U.S. troops to combat, "…in any situation in which the use of such troops is required by an appropriate GVN commander and when, in COMUSMACV's judgment, their use is necessary to strengthen the relative position of GVN forces." This authorization went beyond Westmoreland's proposal to expand the TAORs to protect U.S. bases. The U.S. was now going to war to prevent the total collapse of the ARVN and GVN. On the very next day, U.S. troops conducted their first publicly-acknowledged offensive operation in the South Vietnamese countryside. That patrol marked the official beginning of the U.S. ground war in South Vietnam.
The Vietcong lull, and the president's June 26, 1965, decision to send U.S. ground units directly into combat against Communist forces all across South Vietnam, precluded any further American tactical experimentation. As a result, American military commanders never had a chance to learn the lessons that could have informed both the pace and scale of the U.S. build-up or the development of a ground war strategy. Nevertheless, the lull and the monsoon offensive did provide one very important strategic insight, one with huge ramifications for the ultimate outcome of the U.S. military effort in South Vietnam – the Communists controlled the tempo of combat operations in the South. They could turn the war on or they could turn it off. They could keep their casualties low or they could keep their casualties high. They held the strategic initiative. Surprisingly, this crucial lesson was lost on Westmoreland. He either did not recognize the importance of it, or if he did recognize it, he considered it irrelevant, believing in due time he would wrest the strategic initiative from the enemy; he would determine the tempo of the war; he would set the rate of Communist attrition; and he would win the war.

What is tropospheric ozone?
Tropospheric or ground-level ozone is a secondary air pollutant that results from the photochemical reactions of Nitrogen oxides (NOx), Methane, and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) which are largely present in the environment due to anthropogenic emissions. Approximately 10% of the tropospheric ozone comes from the episodic stratospheric influx. In the upper troposphere, ozone is a major greenhouse gas contributing to global warming. In the lower troposphere, ozone act as a strong oxidant and is harmful to human health, the ecosystem, and agricultural crops. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) air quality guidelines for ozone, the 8-hour mean ozone concentration exceeding 100 µg/m3 can lead to significant health effects. Tropospheric ozone is known to be highly phytotoxic causing a significant reduction in agricultural productivity worldwide.
How tropospheric ozone affect plants?
The phytotoxic effects of ozone depend upon the exposure pattern and the amount of ozone diffusing into the leaves. Leaves are the primary route of ozone uptake controlled by stomatal conductance and boundary layer resistance. Boundary layer resistance is the function of leaf morphology, orientation, and wind speed. Ozone after passing through leaf intercellular spaces then dissolves into the apoplast and reacts with cellular components to produce Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) such as hydroxyl, peroxyl, and superoxide radicals. The ROS quenching capacity of apoplast is the first line of defense against ozone damage. Following exposure to higher levels of ozone amplify ROS production which causes alterations in the physical and chemical properties of plasma membranes and trigger a wide array of signal cascades. The signal activates ethylene, salicylic acid, and jasmonic acid signaling pathways and changes the global gene expression for defense against the oxidative stress caused by ozone. Thus chronic ozone exposure induces visible foliar injury symptoms, decreases photosynthesis and plant biomass, and causes early senescence.
Fig 1. Ozone dependent signaling pathways
What is the visible foliar injury?
Ozone exposure results in visible foliar injury symptoms on the leaves in increasing order of severity as stippling, chlorosis, flecks, and necrosis. It is characterized by the occurrence of interveinal spots of red, brown, purple, or black pigmentation on the upper leaf surface. It can be either uniformly distributed over the leaf surface or concentrated in certain areas. The color, density, distribution of the foliar injury depends on plant species, duration and nature of ozone exposure. Foliar injury from acute ozone exposure is evident between hours/days of exposure. Foliar injury from chronic ozone exposure becomes evident over weeks or months. Assessment of visible foliar injury symptoms can be a strong diagnostic tool for plant ozone sensitivity. The criteria for identification of foliar injury symptoms can be summarised as:

What is OSRGD ver. 1.1?
Ozone Stress Responsive Gene Database (OSRGD ver. 1.1) is a specialized database which integrates ozone stress-specific gene dataset of different plant species. This comprehensive biocuration will offer researchers a better biological insight into plant response to ozone stress.
What is the purpose of using this database?
Researchers working on ozone stress can easily trace a gene expressed or inactivated in a plant species in response to ozone stress exposure by searching a keyword, gene name, gene function. In the public domain, no other existing plant stress databases cover the genes regulated specifically in response to ozone stress. The results can be further interpreted and candidate genes can be chosen for the experiments.

On Sunday June 21st, the summer solstice, a variety of performances in parks will take place across the City of Santa Monica. This will be the fourth year Santa Monica participates in Make Music Los Angeles/MMLA, a countywide celebration of music. The event is based on France's Fête de la Musique, a national musical holiday inaugurated in 1982.
This year, Santa Monica Neighborhood Associations, in partnership with Santa Monica Recreation & Parks Commission Chair, Phil Brock, and the Historic San Vicente Coalition, have put together an all-day musical smorgasbord in City parks including Palisades, Hotchkiss, Virginia Avenue, Colorado Center, Reed and Douglas.
To encourage participation in the event, the Cultural Affairs Division offered grants to the City's Neighborhood Associations. Six are partnering with Phil Brock to create special musical offerings for the day. The Pico Neighborhood Association invites residents and visitors to Virginia Avenue Park from 2-7:30pm. Bands include PYFC All-Stars, Larissa Dubois, Mack Keane, Leah Hall, and FreeLA, plus an opportunity for visitors to make their own music with The 100 Hohner Harmonica Project with Tom Nolan. One hundred harmonicas, courtesy of Hohner, a 156 year old musical instrument company, will be distributed to participants who can join a lesson and play along with a live music performance. The North of Montana Association will host music in Palisades Park's Rose Garden between 2-8pm featuring Ukelele Mass Appeal with Brit Rodriguez, Dianne Michelle, Charlize Diaz de Leon, Carolyn Crotty, TRIL, Marcey Yates, JPS and Breaking Up a Monologue. Ocean Park Association presents seven bands of varying genres in Hotchkiss Park between 12-7pm. Groups include: Dogtown All Stars, The Steady Rock, The St. Clairs, Maggies Toybox, Kristen Center, Calvin Banks and the Tellers and Ramini Natarajan. Santa Monica Mid-City Neighbors will have music from 12-5:45pm at Colorado Center Park including Santa Monica Sam, Root Chakar, The Illegals, Rising Phoenix Morris Dancers, Mike Cushner, Rob La Fond, Shayne Blue and Ooks of Hazard. The Wilshire Montana Neighborhood Coalition presents three musical acts, The Wilmonts, Plastic Chateau and Under the Sky, in Reed Park from 1-4pm. Santa Monica Northeast Neighbors will have music in Douglas Park from 2-7:45pm including Dan Patrick Fulton, Katharina, Andrea Muller, Charlize Diaz de Leon, Jaq Mackenzie, Diane Michelle, TRIL, and Tee-M.
The Historic San Vicente Coalition features music from 3-7pm at Palisades Park's Inspiration Point. Groups include: Nick Kandler, Band Meets World, Tee-M, Ben Anderson and Kinsey Ry. With so many parks activated, everyone should be able to experience live music and even make some of their own during Santa Monica's celebration of Make Music Los Angeles.
Make Music Los Angeles, the countywide celebration, hosts performances in a variety of locations throughout Los Angeles, including community gardens, plazas, schools, courtyards and parks. MMLA has become an international phenomenon celebrated on the same day, the summer solstice, in more than 460 cities in 110 countries. Admission to all events is free.

In Part 1, I discussed my favorite breakfast ingredients with which to make three easy, light, tasty, and healthy meals, and showed you the first meal: flaxseed muffins with coconut oil. Watch video.
In Part 2, I demonstrated how to to make a nutrient- and fiber-packed bowl of cereal using a medley of fresh berries, corn flakes, chia seeds, walnuts, almonds and coconut milk. Watch video.
Now, I take many of those same ingredients and combine them – with a few added surprise extras – in a high-speed blender to serve up a breakfast of champions! Why is it so healthy?
Blending (preferably organic) fruits and vegetables is a fantastic way to pack lots of nutrients and fiber into a single meal or snack. Be sure to check out my Healthy Cooking Sinatra-Smart Smoothie page for several more variations.
Thank you Dr. Sinatra. I was going to say "Bless your heart!", but thought that would be reduntant.
This is excellent information which I really appreciate. Your enthusiasm and obvious personal use add to the value you share.


Large development teams with a sizable code base have two conflicting needs: code sharing and rapid developer setup (agility). Teams who are working on different features need to modify common projects and source elements. While code ownership helps, members of the same team invariably need to touch the same components across different features – or even the same features! Additionally, as ownership itself changes over time, developers other than the original authors need to enhance features or resolve issues.
The problem facing large development teams stems from more than source-level conflicts and SCM code merges or promotions – which, in our experience, are well bounded. The more fundamental problem has to do with enabling teams to set up their development environments rapidly while working with a code base that is not only large but has a high velocity of changes.
Between the need for code sharing and the need for developer setup agility, code sharing often receives priority as it avoids duplicating code and reinventing the wheel. In this two-part post, we discuss our experience with providing rapid developer setup.
We will first consider quantitative aspects of the problem before looking at our journey to solutions. The problem involves both the number of changes and the velocity of the changes. The eBay code base consists of hundreds of thousands of source elements (with total lines of code in the tens of millions). The applications – which comprise web, services, messaging, and batch style – number in the thousands. It is common for an application to use tens of thousands of source elements. The elements themselves are contributed by different teams and are shared with other applications.
Code base changes take the form of new features, which require modifying, adding, and (sometimes) removing source elements. eBay is a fast-paced environment with hundreds of teams; every month, we roll out hundreds of features. The following chart shows the number of source elements that features touch.
The X-axis is a log-like scale indicating the number of elements modified. The Y-axis shows the percentage of features matching each bucket. The data distribution is fairly normal, with a median of 100 to 200 source elements. Compared to the overall code base size, the per-feature change is less than 1% of applications. However, with hundreds of features rolled out per month, these changes compound quickly.
In addition, the code base dynamically changes across features. As modifications for individual features are validated and rolled out, later features pick up modifications from earlier features as they themselves are validated and rolled out.
Although we find that practices like service orientation, binary dependencies, and code ownership help minimize code-level coupling, quick setup challenges still exist in large and fast-paced environments. The following sections describe eBay's own evolution toward providing a faster and more reliable development environment.
An application typically has several thousand source elements. Instead of provisioning and compiling all of those elements, the setup problem is simplified by consuming many of the elements in binary form. Already-compiled binary bundles diminish setup time by reducing the number of source elements that need downloading and compiling. The release stream tags the binary bundles that are released; different features can consume the bundles based on the release stream.
Feature teams can consume some projects as source while consuming many others in binary form. Source projects are required only where code authorship is required. As source projects take longer to set up, teams are encouraged to use them only for the projects that they expect to modify. The rest is consumed as binary bundles, to which the source is attached.
The binary bundle approach has clear advantages in reducing the number of source elements that need to be dealt with in the development environment. With this approach, the release streams are a vehicle for contributing changes that can be consumed later by other features. This methodology has also been adopted in the open-source world – for example, with the Apache Maven build tool and with increasingly popular binary repositories.
One of the challenges with the binary bundle approach is managing the bundles per release stream. This approach also requires the development team to identify the set of bundles that need authorship and thus need to be consumed as source. Furthermore, storing binary bundles at the release-stream level does not provide feature-level isolation. These shortcomings are discussed next.
Feature-level isolation is required because features are developed in parallel and have overlapping code areas. In addition, features might be in early stages of development or might be developed in an experimental manner; changes from such features, in the form of binary bundles, should not be shared with others. With feature isolation, modified bundles are not shared until they have gone through appropriate validations and rollout. In other words, we desire to limit sharing when features are actively under development, and to encourage sharing after those changes have been rolled out.
To provide feature isolation, a common repository with release and snapshot versions does not suffice, as that approach is meant to encourage sharing. We use a per-feature binary repository to achieve feature isolation.
As individual features change only a small set of bundles, a complete binary repository per feature leads to duplication of binary bundles. We use hierarchical binary repositories to avoid duplication of bundles and to improve efficiency. Only bundles that are modified by features are placed in the feature repository. The rest of the bundles are obtained from higher-level repositories such as those from the release stream. This approach is similar to hierarchical management of source code in an SCM system (trunk -> branch 1 -> branch 2). In addition to the hierarchical binary repository, the local cache of these bundles is stored in a hierarchical manner to encourage sharing of common bundles across different features.
Another aid to rapid developer setup is dynamic conversion of binary bundles to source and vice versa. This conversion ability enables development to start before all of the projects that need source authorship have been identified. Furthermore, it encourages teams to start with a small set of source projects and to consume most (or even all!) in binary form. When the team realizes the need for source authorship, the appropriate projects are converted from binary to source. During conversion, the system determines source elements, provisions (downloads) them, compiles them, and appropriately adjusts project dependencies.
Once the authoring is completed, the projects can be converted back to binary form. This reverse conversion picks up binary bundles with the recent changes that have been made to those bundles.
The main challenge with this approach is managing the hierarchical repository, including timely updates as feature changes are committed. The hierarchical repository itself needs to point to different release streams as a feature is rebased. This approach still involves numerous source elements if the number or size of projects is large.
As discussed earlier in this post, most of our feature changes consist of hundreds of source elements. We find that these changes occur across tens of different projects. The chart below summarizes project size and usage in our environment.
The X-axis identifies the number of source elements in a project. The green bars show the percentage of projects that match a given bucket, and the red bars show the distribution of projects that are used as source. The median project size is about 50 to 100 elements, and we have a small number of projects that have more than 1000 elements. However, while small in number, the large projects get used disproportionately, to the extent where the largest of them are used significantly more compared to their counts.
We find that projects don't start out being large; rather, some grow huge because many features use them and contribute to them. As these projects grow by contribution, many features consume them in source form. Due to their size, these source projects drastically increase development setup time.
To avoid such issues, we use various approaches: splitting large projects into several small projects, decoupling applications from common code areas, creating meta-information (DSL) instead of compiled source code, etc. These are all valid ways of addressing the problem. In our experience, it is easier to start with an approach that incorporates these concepts rather than changing to such an approach later, because of the pervasive nature of changes that touch large numbers of projects.
Another way of achieving rapid setup in the presence of large projects is by using source element changes in combination with binary bundles. When a project needs source authorship, instead of having all elements come in source form, we include a small set of the elements that are modified or that need authorship. The rest of the elements continue to come from binary bundles. We achieve this approach by setting the classpath such that compiled source elements take precedence over the elements coming in binary form.
The challenges with this approach include setting up the development environment while incorporating others' feature changes, and dealing with non-source elements that are used for prebuilds. Given the limited number of source elements that change by feature, we are starting to adopt this approach in a limited fashion and are finding that it has potential to work well.
In the second part of this post, we will describe how we use the Eclipse IDE to optimize working with both source elements and binary bundles.

Q: Password auto change on drupal website I'm facing new issue with drupal website, when a user create account there is no problem everythings work fine.
But after some time one day or less his password automaticaly change and the system send him reset password email how can I solve this? thank you in advance for you answers.
Cheer.

A: Drupal core never resets a user password without interaction from a user.
My best guess it that someone is asking for a new password via /user/password on an account that don't belong to them.
Lets say I have an account called "bratanon" and my friend have one called "foobar".
I can then go to www.yoursite.com/user/password and when the site asks me for "my" username tell the site I am "foobar".
Foobars password will now be changed, and he/she will receive a mail with a link to change it.
Or you have installed a none-core module that does this.

Neighborhood ''House Economy'' Teaches Youth Life Lessons
By Denise Sears
Charlie had dealt with a lot in his 11 years. His dad left when he was five and his mother worked long hours at a minimum-wage job to keep a roof over their heads. Sometimes the refrigerator was empty or the electricity was shut off when money was tight. When his mom was home, she was often tired from trying to work extra hours and distracted by financial worries. The stress from living in poverty was affecting Charlie's behavior. He was loud and disruptive, didn't do his schoolwork and frequently got into fights.
Life for Charlie and his family began to change when he enrolled in the Youth Development Program at Neighborhood House, a community center serving the low-income Portland neighborhood in Louisville, Ky. This program provided him a safe environment after school; he received academic support, a hot, nutritious meal and enrichment activities that support and promote learning.
Neighborhood House's Youth Development Program serves almost 350 at-risk youth. For the 2015 summer program, staff sought activities to encourage positive behaviors as part of vital life skills training. This resulted in a pilot program that was developed and introduced during the seven-week summer program.
Called the "House Economy," the program provided incentives for positive behavior and introduced participants to financial budgeting. It also provided opportunities to practice math skills. The pilot initiative delivered experiential learning that taught children and teens valuable "real-life" lessons. The House Economy featured a "House Bank" and "House Store," both of which were managed by older youth. Positive behavior earned "house bucks" and the consequence of negative actions was the loss of already earned bucks. Children tallied up their individual bucks at the end of each day and decided how to manage what they had earned. Options included using their bucks to purchase items at the House Store or depositing them in their account at the House Bank. The store, which was stocked with donations from donors and partners, offered goods in varying price ranges. Children often had their eye on one of the more expensive items, which required them to save some of their earned bucks. They learned how to budget their earnings for the week to cover daily purchases and save for the future purchase of a coveted item at the store.
In the "House Economy" program at Neighborhood House, positive behavior is rewarded with "house bucks," which help teach children how to budget.
The House Economy had a positive impact on the children's behavior, as evidenced by the increase in house bucks earned each consecutive week. One of the program participants, 14-year-old Nolan, said, "Some of the kids didn't listen to staff and could be kind of wild before we started the House Economy. Having the chance to earn bucks for being good changed how the kids acted."
Although originally developed as a way to encourage positive behavior, the House Economy had a much broader impact. House bucks were earned for maintaining good behavior, helping peers, volunteering for jobs (e.g., cleaning up after meals) and positive participation in reading activities. Maria Childers, the Neighborhood House education coordinator, said, "Our youth learned to 'work' for things they want. This is an essential life skill that will help them in all areas of their lives, both in the present – for example, schoolwork, sports teams, school clubs – and the future – getting into college, finding a job, buying a house, etc."
Childers added that the program also provided new learning opportunities. Older teens managed the bank and store, which included setting up sales displays in the store as well as managing house bucks deposited in the bank and purchases at the store. Trusting youth to run the store and bank built a sense of responsibility and pride for teenage members. "The program developed our youth's work ethic, which gives our kids a brighter future," Childers said.
In addition to improving behavior and providing learning opportunities, the youth demonstrated improved understanding of budgeting and the importance of savings. Nolan saved his money all summer to buy a tablet. Participants reported that the program also gave them a greater understanding of the monetary decisions their parents face on a daily basis, which is particularly important in families with limited resources. "I understand better now when my dad says we can't buy something because we have to save to pay our electric bill," said DeShawn, 11. "I don't get mad at him like I used to when we couldn't get something I really wanted."
The summer pilot demonstrated that the House Economy reinforces good behaviors and positively impacts staff-youth relationships. The lessons learned by participants extended well beyond financial literacy. The program taught them life lessons about responsibility and built their self-esteem. The success of the pilot has led to the incorporation of the House Economy into the year-round curriculum of the Youth Development Program.
Charlie's behavior has improved not only at Neighborhood House but at home as well, according to his grateful mom. He is more committed to school and feels confident his grades will improve this semester. The House Economy is a prime example of the impressive return an investment in today's youth can yield.
Denise Sears is director of development and communications at Neighborhood House in Louisville, Ky.

Seared swordfish loin(£2.25), chilli and garlic seasoning on a bed of brown rice (75p), broccoli, diced butternut squash and sweet potato(50p, end date bargain packet) .
Looks tasty. Not criticising but was it not a bit dry without a sauce?
Juicy fish and the rice and veg combo (Steamed) was sufficiently wet.
Chicken shawarma kebabs with yoghurt and chilli sambal.
Pork chop, chips and battered mushrooms.
They weren't rubbery at all, the batter was crisp and the mushrooms soft.
Einstein could not calculate the size of fcuk I do not give as to whether you believe me or not.
It was my tea and I enjoyed it.
I'm Northern, up here we have dinner at dinner time (12PM) and tea at about 6PM.
Bit late to the party here seeing as how you have scoffed it, but hey ho.
If I get salmon, tuna or swordfish I usually just fry it. Non stick pan, ten pee size drop of sunflower oil and similar with sesame oil. Fry. Serve with salad and new spuds/potato salad.
The sesame oil gives it a lovely nutty taste but is not overpowering.
I had chicken in a restaurant the other night and told the waiter is was rubbery. He was chuffed, cheeky Chinese fecker.
Were you at a seance?
Every curry I make looks like someone else already ate it (although most of my meals have that general trend).
Chop onion, garlic and chillies, fry in pan. Any whole spices should apparently be dry fried first, I just add the powdered spices with the veg. Wait until nearly cooked, add chicken, wait until chicken is definitely cooked (otherwise the god of runny poo shall visit your ******** the next evening), then scoff.
Insert weird veg / tomatoes as and when needed. Greek yoghurt works well for thickening and adding dairy flavour without being horrendously rich.
No idea on poppadoms or samosas, the brownmaster is apparently the expert. Oh, add some baked beans just for Sixty, you know you want to.

Spinning yarn from long carbon nanotube arrays
Chaminda Jayasinghe, Supriya Chakrabarti, Mark J. Schulz, Vesselin Shanov
Spinning carbon nanotube (CNT) thread directly from 4-6 mm long aligned carbon nanotube arrays is reported here. The strength of carbon nanotube thread was improved by optimizing the chemical vapor deposition parameters for growing long aligned carbon nanotube arrays. The morphological and structural characterization of CNT arrays and threads were studied by Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. After optimization of growth parameters threads were spun with diameters between 10 and 70 μm. We have achieved thread strength of about 280 MPa.

Posted: Tue Apr 17, 2007 8:47 pm Post subject: Credit approval and "unverifiable income"
I am new to this forum and I actually decided to join to get advice regarding some woes of self-employment. While I absolutely LOVE being a self-employed private piano teacher, there are certain things that I would rather do without. For instance, I just got a call from my credit union that I recently opened an account with. They told me that I was not approved for a credit card due to "unverifiable income." They asked me for my 2006 Tax Return, which was reflective of income earned for only HALF the year because I was a full time student until June. This didn't matter to them...all they noted was that my 2006 income was so diminutive and that they are estimating my 2007 income to be the same, even though I am teaching FULL time for the FULL year with a FULL studio. I even gave them a roster with phone numbers of clients that they can call to verify as well as financial spreadsheets galore detailing my gross monthly income. Never mind the fact that my credit is INCREDIBLE. All they said was that I was not approved because my income (based on LAST year) is not sufficient to cover the payments if I were to max out on the card. I explained in clear detail that the reason why I need to utilize a credit card for my business is so that I can purchase materials for my students without being stuck with the bill until they reimburse me. I have no problem paying it off monthly. GAH! I'm so livid. Have any of you dealt with something like this? What are my options? What arguments can I offer to them?

Jillian Montgomery climbed the steps to her office on the 4th floor. Her high heels sounded loud in the silent stairwell. It was 8:47 a.m. and already she tugged at her blazer restlessly. The day hadn't even begun, and yet she felt drained. Boxed in. Usually avoiding the building's invasively crowded elevators helped, but today not even taking the stairs worked.
She entered her office floor, head held high but eyes never resting on anyone for long. Making herself small and invisible, that had always been Jill's formula to a good day when she was younger. But she quickly learned she couldn't stay invisible forever. Before long, what had kept her sheltered from the world had suddenly made her easy pickings. A target.
She now knew not to stare at the floor like her instincts always screamed at her to do. Instead she learned new tricks: Give off the impression of confidence without inviting challenge; Look up but never make eye contact; Don't hide sweaty palms or shy away from contact; Shake someone's hand firmly but never for long.
"Good morning, Jill," she heard a deep, male voice too close to her ear.
"Morning, beautiful day, isn't it?" she answered. She never stopped walking until she reached her cubicle.
It was no longer about invisibility. She was a master of deception now.
"Jill! You're early," someone else said. He leaned against the grey foam partition, obstructing the way out. She registered his presence but turned her back to him.
"Yep. Had an early start today," she said. She never faltered in removing her blazer, stashing her briefcase, and turning on her monitor.
Be friendly but look busy. Don't look bothered or put out.
"Any plans for Thanksgiving?" he asked, still in her space. She vaguely recognized him. She wasn't sure. She never looked long enough to know what any of them looked like.
She sat in her chair and tucked herself closer against her desk. She threw a distracted smile over her shoulder.
People are used to being half-ignored, she's found. People no longer expect someone's full attention. She's learned to use that to her advantage.
From the corner of her eye she saw him falter and take a step back. Already she could breathe more easily.
"Better let you get on that," he said.
"Gotta get it done," she laughed. He finally walked away. She suppressed a relived sigh.
She stayed in her cubicle for the remainder of the morning. When lunch came around, she waited until everyone was settled in the break room or at their own desks. She then grabbed her salad bowl and moved to the copy room. She usually ate while she did the filing she needed to get done for the day.
The rhythmic, automatic noises of the copier soothed her. She let the motion and sounds of the machine fill her mind while she munched on her quinoa salad. She didn't notice she was no longer alone.
The sound of the paper tray of the adjacent photocopier slamming shut yanked her out of her trance. She shivered so violently she almost dropped her bowl. She turned wide, startled eyes to the new intruder, berating herself for her inattention.
Jill looked at Ms. Hart frowning down at the photocopier. The older woman was short and plump, and she sported a full head of white hair. Jill sometimes sought her grandmotherly presence. They were the only two women in the office.
"Right," Ms. Hart said, and Jill could clearly hear the disbelief in her voice.
She hated lying. She was good at it, great even. After years of conditioning herself, the lies just spilled out of her lips. But she still hated doing it, hated that she had to do it. She opened her mouth to explain, to apologize, to confess. She couldn't find the words.
Jill was mortified to find sudden tears prick at her eyes. She quickly turned back and looked down at her copier. The machine was still, and the copies sat in the output tray waiting for her. No wonder the silent room was too loud in her head. She racked her brain for words.
A hand on her shoulder brought her out of her inner turmoil.
Jill nodded, honestly too overwhelmed to say anything. Ms. Hart smiled and left the copy room. Before the older woman could get too far, Jill called her back.
With another smile, Ms. Hart went back to her desk. No longer hungry, Jill threw away the rest of her salad and went back to her cube, fresh batch of copies in hand.

Palestine Geneva summit: Once again to the breach
18/12/2014 By Christopher Woodburn
GENEVA Over the past several years, Geneva has been re-asserting itself as a neutral mediation centre, either formal or informal, for conflicts such as Syria, Afghanistan, Ukraine and the Iranian nuclear issue. Back in 2003, it also hosted an Israeli-Palestinian peace effort known as the Geneva Initiative, which outlined possible venues for genuine reconciliation.
The Palestinian issue is now once again back on the front burner, but not with everyone's agreement. The Geneva missions of the United States, Israel, Canada, Australia and Rwanda have refused to send representatives to the summit, which is being held this week in the building of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) just down the road from the Palais des Nations.
Following recent European parliamentary decisions, such as in France and Spain, to symbolically recognise Palestine as a sovereign state, Switzerland's agreement to hold a special summit may be seen as a positive step for the Palestinian cause.
Many see the conference as an opportunity to sanction Palestine's territorial rights, particularly given Israel's military incursions, including indiscriminate shelling of civilian areas, in the Gaza Strip earlier this year. According to the International Committee of the Red Cross, the manner of these incursions severely infringed the Fourth Geneva Convention whose aim is to protect civilians in time of war. More recently, Israel has continued with its policy of illegal settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and despite restrained US criticism.
Switzerland's role has been staunchly lambasted by both the United States and Israel. At the same time, Switzerland maintains that it has a mandate outlined in resolution 64/10 by the United Nations back in 2009, to precisely hold such a summit in consultation with other nations.
Sometimes it appears that Banksy' has the only sane viewpoint of the situation
Swiss president Didier Burkhalter sees the special conference as a positive vehicle for debate by not only reinstating Switzerland's position as promoter of the peace and guardian of the Geneva Conventions, but also as reiterating the summit's purpose to protect populations at risk in the current conflict. As such, Bern's objective is not to denigrate Israel, but rather to call for consensual respect for international humanitarian law.
Despite last April's failed Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, Switzerland regards the recent unity between Fatah and Hamas as a critical step towards instigating a new peace initiative with Israel. It has also called on the Palestinian government to officially recognise Israel's right to exist. In the same vein, it has asked the Israeli government to allow the Palestinian people to establish a state based on the 1967 borders.
Israel, however, considers both the Fatah-Hamas unification and recent European votes as inhibiting factors jeopardizing the chances of finding common ground with the Palestinians.
For some analysts, to call the current Geneva summit politically sensitive would be tautological. While the broadly accepted aim is to find "a global, just and durable solution," the initiative is also a tacit reminder of past failures for mediating a viable solution to this dragging conflict. However, with the tide slowly turning in Western Europe (Sweden is the only West European country to recognise the Palestinian State so far), some observers believe that it may be up to neutral countries such as Switzerland to break the trend by forging alternative pathways to peace. Although recognising Palestine remains a controversial topic, its progressive inclusion by UN members is seen as an indicator of change. So is Switzerland's – and the UN's – recent acceptance of the Palestinian Authority to join 14 international treaties and conventions to the Geneva conventions governing the rules of war and military occupations.

She's helping shelter dogs get adopted.
When Erin Einbender started volunteering at One Tail at a Time dog rescue while finishing up her art school degree, she noticed that the dogs wearing "cones of shame" always looked a little sadder, and therefore a little less adoptable, than the other dogs. So she got a little creative and did something about it.
While brainstorming ideas for her final photography project, Einbender had a brilliant idea for a way to complete her project and help dogs find homes at the same time. The name of the project is Cones of Fame.
The idea of the project is to use bright colors and fun patterns to decorate the cones of dogs who have just been spayed or neutered, so that when people see them, they smile and laugh instead of feeling sad about the cone. Einbender also hopes that the fancy cones will help lift the dogs' spirits, too.
After a cone is all decked out and ready, Einbender puts it on a dog in place of his old, boring one — and then treats him to an adorable photo shoot, which most of the dogs seem to love.
… and even an adorable trash can cone, which Buddie the dog seems to love.
Not only is the project fun for the dogs, but it's also helped them immensely — so far, every single dog who's been photographed wearing a cone of fame has gotten adopted.
Einbender is even having a Cones of Fame art opening through One Tail at a Time, where she'll be selling prints of her amazing photos. Even though she no longer needs it for school, she hopes to continue working on the Cones of Fame project for as long as she can, to help lots of deserving dogs find the forever homes they've been waiting for.

Shocking new JFK foreign sex scandal EXPOSED (disgusting!)
Former President John F. Kennedy was known for his scandalous rendezvous with women other than his wife Jackie — and a new story has emerged that details previously unknown foreign debauchery.
In May 1961, the most powerful man in the world went door-to-door in the streets of Paris, searching for a French call girl that had agreed to meet him in secret.
Kennedy had used the excuse of a doctor's appointment to sneak out to an arranged affair while in Paris for a crucial summit. The woman he was after was considered a look-alike to his wife.
Sponsored: Which pain reliever does this airline pilot use to stay on schedule?
The tale of the shady plan is detailed in the new book, "Madame Claude: Her Secret World of Pleasure, Privilege, & Power," by William Stadiem.
Claude was one of the most successful madams in the world back then. She ran a prominent prostitution ring full of gorgeous, upscale women catering to the world's richest and most powerful men.
Madame Claude named her young women "Claude girls" and the brand became very well-known around the world.
"A date with a 'Claude girl' was one of those pinnacle Paris experiences," writes Stadiem, "like staying at the Ritz or dinner at Maxim's or wearing a Lanvin suit . . . an apotheosis of luxury that the French do better than any other nationality."

Kennedy's seedy liaison had to be so well-planned out that it was compared to a political summit.
After the Bay of the Pigs disaster in 1961, Kennedy decided he needed to redeem himself by embarking on a European tour with his wife to meet with French and Soviet leaders. Jackie was so captivated by the French that Kennedy famously introduced himself as, "the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris."
While Jackie was bewitched by her European tour, her husband was off on his own dirty adventures.
"If JFK had a type, it was the wholesome, snooty, proper, preppy girl whose flaunted untouchability he could violate . . . girls like Jacqueline Bouvier," writes Stadiem, noting Kennedy learned about Claude from Sinatra.
Sponsored: Believers – I hope you get this message…
"Here was a madam who specialized in exactly what JFK was after."
Kennedy's press secretary Pierre Salinger arranged Kennedy's secret liaison with the help of Madame Claude, who originally turned him down in the fear of something going wrong if the president was caught with her prostitutes.
Salinger convinced Claude that any scandals that could potentially erupt would be beneficial to her business, bringing her plenty of attention.
"'Rise to the occasion,' Salinger exhorted Claude. 'Do it for your career. Do it for your country,' he riffed, paraphrasing JFK's inaugural address. 'Think big!' " Stadiem writes. "Weighing risks and rewards like the shrewd banker she might have otherwise been, Claude decided to go for it."
You must find out if this household device is in your home [sponsored]
Kennedy picked French actress and Jackie lookalike Anouk Aimee, and Stadium writes the president was "obsessed with her."
"What does he want her for? He's already got her," Claude, referring to Aimée's resemblance to the president's wife, asked Salinger.
"The explanation was that JFK liked the package more than the contents," Stadiem writes. "He was drawn to Jackie's looks but wanted a more seductive, sexual version."
Aimee was disgusted with Kennedy's offer and rejected it immediately, explaining she thought of Kennedy as a "puerile warmonger." Claude lied to Salinger and told her that Aimee was away on business, rather than explaining Aimee was not interested.
Sponsored: Have you had one of these "feminizing" drinks?
Claude continued to search for a suitable woman for the president, and a month prior to the summit, Salinger and Kennedy tried to determine the best way to fit the rendezvous into their one hour window. They even created a code phrase, speaking about "buying Jackie a gift saddle at Hermes."
"If the world had any idea how much of his time was focused not on NATO or Algeria or Vietnam, but on a hot date from Madame Claude, the perception of history would have been dubious, to say the least," Stadiem writes.
Eventually, Claude determined that a 23-year-old Sorbonee graduate who worked as a fitting model for Givenchy was the dream date for Kennedy.
The secret rendezvous was scheduled to take place at the young woman's apartment.
Sponsored: [Shocking] New evidence proves that this "serial killer" was "pardoned" AGAIN
Kennedy was visiting supposed to visit French historical sites the day of and last minute claimed he had a bad back and needed to visit a French pain specialist.
In reality, Kennedy brought his doctor, the infamous Max Jacobson and the pair set off to find his new mystery lover only to end up at the wrong apartment.
The president gave a few old ladies the shock of their lives when he came banging on their door. He eventually determined he had the wrong address and went to a nearby cafe to use their pay phone.
Once he realized the pay phone required tokens, he decided to "slither up the narrow, curving stairwell and abashedly request a token from the grizzled bartender, who gave him the most curious and dubious of looks," Stadiem writes.
Sponsored: You won't believe WHAT a Christian doctor found in woman's body
"Neither he nor Dr. Jacobson had any francs. JFK had no money at all. Jacobson fished out a twenty-dollar bill and gave it to the barman, who seemed mystified. The doctor motioned for him to keep the change."
Kennedy got a hold of Sallinger who regrettably wrote the wrong address down for the president — it should have read "rude de Courcelles" — instead he wrote "boulevard de Courcelles."
Once corrected, Kennedy found his mystery girl, and then the rest of his European trip ended in a success. He held his own and many attribute this to his secret liaison with his mystery French call girl.

Government announces the new Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CLBILS)
On 3 April 2020, the Government announced a new loan scheme to provide support for large businesses.
It will provide a Government guarantee of 80% to enable banks to make loans of up to £25 million to firms with an annual turnover of between £45 million and £500 million that have been impacted by Covid-19 and which are unable to secure regular commercial financing.
The new CLBILS will ensure that more firms are able to benefit from Government-backed support during this difficult time. This will give banks the confidence to lend to more businesses which are impacted by coronavirus but which they would not lend to without CLBILS.
Loans backed by a guarantee under CLBILS will be offered at commercial rates of interest and further details of the scheme will be announced later in April.
The Government expects the scheme to be delivered through commercial lenders. The Government will provide lenders with an 80% guarantee on individual loans for businesses that would be otherwise unable to access the finance they need.
Lenders will still be expected to conduct their usual credit risk checks, but this scheme allows them specifically to support businesses that were viable before the COVID-19 outbreak but are facing significant cash flow difficulties, that would otherwise make their business unviable in the short term.
The new scheme will launch later this April and will support a wide range of businesses to access finance products including short term loans, overdrafts, invoice finance and asset finance.
Businesses would remain responsible for repaying any facility they may take out.
To be eligible, your business must:
be UK-based in its business activity;
have an annual turnover between £45 million and £500 million;
be unable to secure regular commercial financing; and
have a borrowing proposal which the lender:
would consider viable, were it not for the COVID-19 pandemic; and
believes will enable you to trade out of any short-term to medium-term difficulty.
You will not be eligible if your business falls into any of the following categories of trades and organisations:
banks and building societies;
insurers and reinsurers (but not insurance brokers);
public-sector organisations, including state-funded primary and secondary schools.
Limited information on the scheme is available HERE.
Further details are expected later this month, when the scheme will be launched.

UPDATE: 22 April 2020
The scheme opened on Monday 20 April 2020. You can read our more detailed article on the scheme HERE.
