The story of Mildred and Richard Loving has been very much in the news recently. A critically acclaimed movie, a sensitively told picture book, podcasts, and the re-airing of documentaries are just some of the ways in which the Loving’s extraordinary battle to challenge Virginia’s anti-miscegenation laws has been revisited and retold.
For those not familiar with the Loving’s story, here it is in a nutshell: Mildred Jeter and Richard Loving grew up in the same town, Central Point in Caroline County, Virginia. Things went awry when their friendship blossomed into love, for Richard was white and Mildred was black, and interracial marriage was against the law in Caroline County (anti-miscegenation laws, in fact, existed in 24 states at the time). The young couple have to travel to Washington D.C. to be married, and are arrested immediately upon their return. It takes time in jail, many years, and many court battles before the Supreme Court rules in favor of the Lovings, and they are allowed to live in peace and raise their children in the place they called home – Central Point, Virginia.
Patricia Hruby Powell’s Loving Vs. Virginia: A Documentary Novel of the Landmark Civil Rights Case is a welcome addition to this collection, especially because of the way in which it tells the story: in verse, and through the voices of Mildred and Richard. The two perspectives allow the reader to better understand how both Richard and Mildred processed the events as they unfolded, and gives us some insight into what they thought and how they felt.
Our students take so many of the advances made by the Civil Rights movement for granted today, even as many of those advancements (voting rights, for instance) are under assault. Books like Loving vs. Virginia remind us of the sacrifices made by individuals like the Lovings for such rights and for progress, and they remind us that the fight for civil rights is an ongoing struggle in which we must all participate. Loving vs. Virginia is a must have book in middle and high school classrooms, it would make for an important readaloud, especially now.
A definite addition to my must read list. Thanks Tara!
Tara, thank you for this post. I have gotten some of my best books from your blog posts.
What a heartbreaking story, I’m so glad it’s being retold and shared, so that we never forget what our predecessors had to struggle through just to earn us the freedoms we take for granted today!
I’m sure I will enjoy this, Tara, I’ve only read the picture book of the story. Thanks for sharing.
I have a copy, and it definitely got checked out during our Civil Rights units. We’ll see how well it does the rest of the year. Novels in verse tend not to do terribly well in my library.
I’ve wanted to read this for a while. I enjoyed the picture book version of the story ages ago. You are right that this is an important book. It’s really challenging to realize that those gains we made through all kinds of sacrifice, have to be constantly fought for.
I feel like the date of this case was such a short time ago. I was in junior high at this time. I think it is so ironic that the name was Loving when this was a case about loving. How fitting!
I really want to read this book. And also see the movie!
sounds amazing… i feel like its too advanced for 3rd grade right?!
Definitely. This is middle school and up.
I knew a bit about their story from when the movie came out but I did not see the movie. The book is something I will definitely get and read. Thanks for the recommendation, Tara.
Thanks for sharing, Tara. I was not aware the novel in verse, and I’m glad there are “snippets of history” included.
Thanks for sharing this book and your insight: “Books like Loving vs. Virginia remind us of the sacrifices made by individuals like the Lovings for such rights and for progress, and they remind us that the fight for civil rights is an ongoing struggle in which we must all participate.” This struggle is a reality that we must teach. When we read, Stella by Starlight, my book club students were totally unaware of current challenges to voting rights.
I have seen this book in bookstores and cannot wait for the opportunity to purchase it for my classroom. Yes, yes, yes to everything you say in your post about the importance of reading a text like this, especially now.
Is this a companion text to the picture book Case for Loving?? 🙂 Oohlala!

When it comes to recollections of his shoots, New York-based lensman Jake Chessum is an apologetic storyteller and a self-confessed fan boy. With every unnecessary apology to start his detour of a flash-filled tale about that time he shot Kate Hudson, Heath Ledger, Tom Hanks, or Robert de Niro, the accomplished artist makes this clear: regardless of his already high-profile portfolio, his job will never get old.
Can you describe to us your aesthetic?
It doesn’t rely on technique; it’s always graphic. I learned this through shooting my book, The New York Look Book. I think part of my skill is I can get people to behave naturally in a very unnatural situation. I always try to make people look as good as I think they want to look, and I think it’s about being relaxed. I still feel that I try to allow people to be themselves and reflect that on to the picture.
How do you prepare for an entire day of work?
I try to read up about my subject, especially if it’s someone who I’m not that familiar with. Just to find some kind of connection with their past and to know things that you shouldn’t mention. When you’re dealing with somebody famous, you’ve got to be careful not to say something rude. Also, I scout the location to try and pre-plan a set of shots. Once I get these plans, I can relax a little bit, because when I have a plan, I can be spontaneous a little bit. The worst thing for me is when I’ve already taken the picture before even shooting, when I already know what the picture is going to look like in my head. Maybe I’ve got delusions of grandeur, but I try to do something that surprises me or not what I’ve expected to shoot. I didn’t shoot film for three to four years, but just recently, I started taking film cameras again to editorial shoots. It’s really exciting to shoot film again because you can’t see what it looks like, they can’t see what it looks like, and nobody in the shoot knows what you’re getting. Just trust your judgment and instinct.
What’s your most memorable shoot to date?
Just the idea of meeting David Bowie and having a moment with him was just amazing. I remember when we went to a little house to photograph him, his assistant opened the door, and I could see him sitting on the stairs. In a professional position, you obviously have to control yourself from having a visceral fan reaction; if you’d react like that, you’d never work again. Your job is to take the picture that transcends that kind of visceral reaction, which is to go, “Oh my God! I’m in a room with David Bowie!” I took all my records to have him sign because I’m such a fan. I’m so lucky that my job allows me to access people that I can fulfill another aspect of my personality. I also photographed Amy Winehouse in 2004. I spent an entire day with her, which was obviously more significant for me than it was for her, especially in light of her tragic death years after. I can’t pretend to know anything and have a great insight about Amy, but that short time I spent with her is significant. After she died, I was really upset and shocked. I really didn’t know her, but obviously, she was an amazing singer.
You’ve published two books, The New York Look Book and Rubbish. Any plans of releasing a third one?
Earlier this year, I cleared out a storage space full of stuff, and I found a huge box of polaroids from shoots dating back to 1990, so I’m thinking maybe there’s something there. I have a friend, an art director who’s interested in working on it with me. We’re probably a third of the way through editing. Possibly a book of polaroids, who knows? Some of them are a bit funky, some got a bit folded and busted up, but that’s part of its charm.
You also like taking unusual photos when you travel, what’s the story behind this?
When I lived in London, I didn’t shoot a lot pictures on the street. Coincidentally, I discovered the work of William Eggleston and Harry Callahan when I started traveling to America to shoot. Their works are just so amazing and brilliant, and that inspired me to shoot pictures of anything and everything. Since I got an iPhone, that’s what I carry and shoot with all the time. I shoot pictures on the street, and that’s what you’ll see on my Instagram feed. My daughter gives me hell, she’s like, “You just took a picture of that man, didn’t you? Why are you taking pictures? You have to ask for their permission.” I’d just tell her that that’s the thing with street photography, you don’t ask for permission because it ruins the moment.

Growing up wedged between factories and forest, it this space Fiona attempts to fill compositionally. Creating sounds that occupy an experimental, freethinking yet universally beautiful place is her objective. A common theme in Hill’s electroacoustic work is the sourcing of sounds from nature and industrial environments and blending these in a musical space incorporating acoustic instruments, live performers and spatialised sonic environments.
Electroacoustic projects include: the commission and premiere of an extended work (50 minutes) Chromoson in 2010 by Trinity Grammar School’s Society of the Arts, for electronics, solo soprano, and film in 10 channel surround sound with multiple projections, extended electroacoustic work (45 minutes) Unity in Blue for 9 musicians and electroacoustics in 2008 and Zephyr String Quartet’s WIRED project 2008. Her composition Spider for Zephyr Quartet’s WIRED project 2006 featured on Australian Broadcasting Commission’s Arts Sunday 2007 and at the Australian Computer Music Conference 2008. Other recent projects include TV series A Dog’s Tale (2017), audiobook Toilers of the Sea (2015) and short film Milk and Cookies, shortlisted for Tropfest (2014). Earlier chamber music works were composed through a series of commissions from South Australian group The Firm, which resulted in the performances of Integrals, Signwaves and Decomposition for Strings.
Spider, for string quartet and electronics.
Spider is based on the poem ‘Spider’ by Iranian-Australian poet Granaz Moussavi. The poem depicts a woman’s struggle against the authorities to be educated. The piece is a response to this struggle and represents the independence and conviction of women’s rights across the globe to education.
Chromoson Movement 1, for acousmatic performance.
A work written in collaboration with visual artist Samantha Mitchell-Fin as an immersive audio-visual experience based on the phenomenon of synaesthesia. Premiere performed in 10 channel surround sound with surround video.
An exploration of the rhythms and frequencies in pink noise. A work written as part of an immersive audio-visual work Chromoson in collaboration with visual artist Samantha Mitchell-Fin.

Mrs. M is the truly one of the sweetest, most down to earth clients I have ever had the pleasure of working with. When she first contacted me, she mentioned how this would be totally out of her comfort zone but she has always wanted to surprise her husband with it. I find that some clients who are intimated by boudoir at first, take a bit longer to warm up to the camera. This was not the case with Mrs.M. She came alive in front of the camera, and truly celebrated her life and body. It was amazing being able to be part of the transformation!
"I wanted to let you know that I gave my husband his gift and he loved it. He was so surprised and couldn't believe I did this for him.
I really enjoyed the whole experience and while this started out as a gift for my husband I got something in return. Your web-site mentions about women seeing themselves differently and telling them selves lies. I don't always see what others see when I look in the mirror (I notice every little flaw). Your work helped me see myself differently. I want to thank you for making me so comfortable at my shoot and during the whole process; you certainly know how to capture the inner beauty in people and bring it out on film. Thanks!"

As an earlier story on big-firm profits might suggest, averaging $1 million in profits per partner raises a host of questions on how those profits are realized in terms of partner compensation.
There are, of course, various formulae for determining compensation among partners and especially managing partners. One might suggest that it's not important what formula is used so long as all involved perceive that the process of determining that number is fair - recognizing that people respond to what they're rewarded for.
I believe it is also worth suggesting that people will accept a great deal less than the top compensation as long as they like the colleagues with whom they work. This has a far greater impact than money.
While money must be competitive (it need not be on the high end), "firm culture" is first and foremost. People must like the work they do and those with whom they do it.
Lawyers who are together physically in an office environment should share a camaraderie that shapes the development of a firm culture. Many factors come into play: the exchange of ideas, the guidance, the learning, the education of one lawyer by another. These are vital to a successful law firm.
Apply this concept to firm compensation. Typically, there are considered to be two general compensation models: lockstep, in which the firm's overall success each year is averaged out to determine a standard rate of compensation increase for lawyers in each strata of the firm, and "eat what you kill," in which all attorneys are rewarded on how much business they personally bring in.
Any firm that encourages lawyers to maximize their individual compensation may have fast near-term growth. But a willingness to approach compensation as an institution (lockstep compensation, or a variation on this theme) makes for firm longevity.
Perhaps it takes the entrepreneurial spirit to get going. Then the challenge is to change that into a managerial spirit, something that proves too difficult for most. Only a few really successful firms find a way to do it.
If a firm wants to promote "partnering" or "teamwork," that usually means that the law firm culture and compensation system must change to a more cooperative corporate model.
The compensation committee or the managing partner must affirmatively state that a requirement of being a member of the firm is that other members of the firm be involved in all matters involving "x" dollars exposure, minimum expected attorneys' fees or certain types of cases, etc.
Base compensation must, in some fashion, be tied to the effectiveness of involving other firm lawyers as part of the team delivering legal services to clients.
As this approach expands, the firm must shift the emphasis of its recognition programs from individual to team rewards. Even individual rewards should acknowledge people who are effective team players, freely sharing their expertise.
The fairest compensation approach gets away from a star system that rewards only the individuals who stand out from the crowd; it also rewards those individuals who help the crowd perform better.

Dad is on the trail, so it’s time I review my Isbjörn of Sweden Winter Jumpsuit!
Last autumn I reviewed the Isbjörn of Sweden Rib Fleece Jumpsuit which I outgrew pretty quickly, plus it got cold also rather fast, so the kind people at Isbjörn of Sweden sent dad a Winter Jumpsuit for me to wear. I did wear it a whole six months last winter, and I was always nice warm in it - be it walking in the snow, sleding, or going for a pram walk with mom & dad.
Isbjörn knows a few hundred things about designing garments for kids. The Winter Jumpsuit is made of the Entrant W™ Toray material, which has a hydrostatic head of 20.000 mm and a pretty high breathability, too. In practice this means I can jump into puddles and crawl through the snow without getting wet, while at the same time during those sweaty winter walks I never overheated. Seams are taped, too, and waterproof zippers are used. All the kind of stuff you also find on the good jackets for adults!
It has a large hood which can be removed, and usually I was outdoors without it - except when it snowed or rained, then mom or dad put it on and pulled it over my hat. It protected my head very well from the cold wind and snow, which is nice - I don’t care for snow on my nose! The cuffs are elastic and fitted well over my gloves, and the rubber loop at the trouser legs is super durable and also didn’t bother when running around. Elastic trouser legs didn’t let any snow into my felt boots, which is pretty nice. Then there’s those large reflectors on shoulders and legs, which makes it easy to be seen in the dark. And as soon it’s dark again for some 18 hours per day, that comes in pretty handy when we walk to the playground or on the bike to the shop.
But that ain’t all! It’s warm, too. That’s because of the recycled polyester padding on the inside, and the drawstrings which help with getting a nice, tight fit. So I could jump around with mom & dad at -20°C in the snow and don’t get cold! And even when dad was carrying me in the backpack I stayed nicely warm when we were winter hiking on the Kvarken Archipelago.
Dressing up is OK, I didn’t particularly enjoy that the zipper was not going down one of the legs which would have made dressing up easier, but I guess that would have created more possibilities for cold spots or wind to come in. It’s OK so, and is a lot easier with the felt boots already attached to the suit! I like that the zipper has a long tab, that makes it easy for me to close it myself, and the windflap with Velcros doesn’t let wind through. The articulated knees and arms allowed me to climb on the playground all the cool stuff, it’s just a shame dad didn’t want to loan me his ice tools and crampons for ice climbing!
Size-wise you should know that Swedish babies & toddlers are apparently very tall, and that their 80 cm garment size fitted me as I was between 14 and 20 months old, but even now (I’m 2+ years!) I still - just! - fit in there. If you’re unsure, ask the Isbjörn people, they will help you to pick the right size - or try one on, if you can. They’r easy to clean in the washing machine in case the get dirty - mom appreciated that - and come in a couple different colours to suit each taste. As you can guess, I’m very happy with my Isbjörn of Sweden Winter Jumpsuit, and a bit sad that I have outgrown it yet again so quickly!
You can buy the Isbjörn of Sweden Winter Jumpsuit on the Isbjörn of Sweden website if you live in Sweden, at the Scandinavian Outdoor Store in Finland, and at Unterwegs.biz and the PM-Outdoorshop.de if you like to shop online in Europe. Otherwise, here’s a list of Isbjörn of Sweden Retailers across the Globe!

Malta is unlikely to reach a target set by the European Union to increase energy savings by 22% by 2020, despite reaching its 3% target for 2010. To date, there are no concrete structures in place to support major investment into much needed refurbishment and transformation of existing buildings into energy efficient facilities. Buildings currently account for around nearly 40% of energy consumption within the EU. Furthermore, with global greenhouse gas emissions set to rise over the next decade, energy efficient renovations of existing building stock are vital to meet EU targets.
The recent rise in energy costs has dramatically increased the importance of running an energy-efficient building. Cost-effective technologies and energy efficiency are fast becoming fundamental to real estate management, facilities management and operations strategy.
Two intelligent energy-saving systems available to the building owner or operator today are Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) and Room Energy Management Systems (REMS).
A BEMS can monitor and control services such as heating, lighting, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC), ensuring they operate at maximum levels of efficiency and economy. This is achieved by maintaining optimum balance between conditions, energy usage and operating requirements.
When driving around the University of Malta ring road, one cannot help but notice the sizeable construction taking shape on the east-facing side, the side that at a certain point runs parallel to Triq Mikiel Anton Vassalli. This is the new state-of-the-art building of the Faculty of Information and Communication Technology that was made possible through European Regional Development Fund and Government of Malta funding, amounting to around €17 million.
The new building itself is a landmark construction on the University's Msida Campus. It is a "new building" in more than one sense. It is predominantly a steel construction with a glass outer façade. It makes use of specially engineered glass panels that are filled with an inert gas and coated with appositely calculated reflective material. The building has no windows and it is climate controlled through an advanced Building Management System (BMS). The internal climatic conditions, such as temperature, ventilation, and humidity will all be managed by an automated system.
AIS Group, which encompasses diverse activities such as manufacturing, engineering design, IT, archaeology and environmental consultancy has last month tested the Group's ability to retain a business-as-usual level of service whilst at the same time reducing to a minimum the usage of company and individual employee vehicles.
This proved to be a very challenging undertaking as people were encouraged to leave the comfort of their car and try out alternative modes of transportation. The experience did leave positively interesting results both from the employee's perspective as well as from a business stand point. The event helped develop better relationships between colleagues across different levels through car-pooling. A marked increase in the employee's awareness of the environmental damage caused by cars was noted. This left a feel good factor for contributing positively towards improving the environment.
AIS Technology has delivered three new Language Labs for the MCAST’s Institute of Business and Commerce. In this project, AIS has partnered with the global leader in the development of language teaching software and language labs:- Finnish company Sanako.

text: I'm sure most of you have heard City Of New Orleans by Arlo Guthrie or Willie Nelson. It is the best known song written by Steve Goodman. He recorded it on his 1971 debut album. Sadly, Goodman died in 1984. So he never had commercial success though his albums are worth seeking out. He was born July 25, 1948 in Chicago. He began to write and perform as a teen. He also led the synagogue choir. He formed a cover band while attending the University of Illinois. Then he moved to New York in 1967 and sang in clubs. He returned to Chicago to go back to school. But then Goodman was diagnosed with leukemia and he decided to continue with music. He performed mostly at the Chicago club Earl Of Old Town and he sang jingles. This was when he became close friends with John Prine. One night Goodman was opening for Kris Kristofferson. Kristofferson liked what he heard and he decided to help Goodman get a record deal. Kristofferson introduced Goodman to Paul Anka who paid for demos. Those demos got Goodman a deal with Buddah Records. Steve Goodman was his debut album. The album was produced by Kristofferson and veteran Nashville session bassist Norbert Putnam with Kristofferson's band. The album is available as a budget CD. One night Goodman was opening for Arlo Guthrie. Guthrie told Goodman he could pitch him a song if he bought Guthrie a beer. That song was City Of New Orleans and it guaranteed Goodman's financial security. He recorded two albums for Buddah and several for Asylum. In 1980, he started his own label which is run by John Prine. Steve Goodman died on Sept. 30, 1984 at age 36. Goodman was a huge Chicago Cubs fan so his ashes were scattered at Wrigley Field. You know that song Go Cubs Go? Goodman wrote it. Also check out Clay Eals' 2007 biography Steve Goodman: Facing The Music. He'll be happy I finally did Steve as SOTD. Here's Steve Goodman performing City Of New Orleans on The Old Grey Whistle Test 1972.

Welcome back to the Artistry Blog. Today we’re excited to be focusing on the theme of adventure.
Have you ever read The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien? For many of us, our lives are not unlike the character Bilbo Baggins, sitting all cozy within the walls of our Indianapolis, IN apartment home — safe like Bilbo Baggins was in the Shire in Tolkien’s timeless tale. Like this hobbit before he went on his grand adventure, many of us are comfortable: we take afternoon drinks when we like, we stroll outside when we want, and we get around to adventuring when we feel up to it. But life, as The Hobbit teaches us, is filled with unexpected adventures around corners that are often considered calm.
Today the Artistry Blog invites you to consider your life as an adventure, one that’s filled with bad or unfortunate experiences (losing luggage, experiencing a broken heart) and good adventures (falling in love, traveling the world) to even things out. In today’s post, we share two lessons learned from one hobbit to us — lessons that can help even the “weakest” person on their greatest adventure.
We’re not always looking for adventure. Sometimes the opportunity comes at a most unexpected time. Remember to take chances in life. Have the courage to say “yes” and go on an adventure for yourself when the chance arrives.
One of the strongest and most repeated themes in The Hobbit is friendship. During Bilbo’s daring adventure, he is often surrounded by companions. Without these individuals, there were times when Bilbo could have died. In our lives, it is important to remember who our friends are and to stay true to them as they are to us. You may not need them now, but who knows when a mountain troll will come knocking on your door?
Whether your adventures happen in Indianapolis, IN or somewhere else, we wish the best for you. Share your own lessons by leaving comments about your adventures below. We’d love to read about them!

The 18th century Cantwell’s Bridge was a rapidly growing community and the south side of Main Street was already heavily developed by 1780. This type of row construction was typical of Philadelphia and larger cities of the period and represented solidly built middle-class housing.
It is reputed that south side of the Pump House served as the town jail. While the town is not known to have had a sheriff in the 18th century, the jail may have been used as an overnight lock-up awaiting transport to New Castle. Through the basement bulkhead door, an offending unruly rowdy from the tavern across the street or perhaps a fugitive slave might have spent the night locked up there. The jail room has a heavy door and a sunken post in the floor possibly used to attach the manacles of a prisoner.
The wood water pump in front of the house is indicative of the public nature of the center of town. The pump was a necessity for thirsty travelers who otherwise would have had to beg a drink from a resident or purchased it at a livery stable or tavern.

We have been wanting to start using some flash cards with Ryker for quite some time and I had been looking around everywhere, but just couldn’t find what I wanted. Everything was a little to hippie or new age. I just wanted some basic cards with ABC’s, Numbers etc., but there didn’t seem to be any at the toy and book stores that I visited. And everything I found online was shipped from the states, and it would double the price.
So I got crafty and made my own!
I had them printed on regular paper and then laminated to endure a little roughness, and spent a little extra time rounding the edges so they weren’t too sharp. For storage I think I am going to sew some little pouches for them, but another idea is to hole punch the corners and stick a ring through them.

It calls for the creation of an Islamic republic, with a presidential system, and where citizens have equal rights.
The draft will be debated by a loya jirga grand assembly next month, paving the way for possible elections in 2004.
A spokesman for President Hamid Karzai said Afghanistan needed stability and the new constitution was made with "the next 100, 200 years" in mind.
The ceremony came as a delegation from the UN Security Council toured the country to examine post-war reconstruction efforts.
The delegation is the first of its kind to visit the country since the Taleban were ousted in 2001.
The UN envoys headed to the western town of Herat on Monday to meet Governor Ismail Khan who is often accused of ignoring central authority.
The Constitutional Committee had been due to present the draft in September, but it was delayed for technical reasons.
The draft was handed over at a formal ceremony with Mr Karzai, former King Mohammed Zaher Shah and foreign diplomats at Kabul's Presidential Palace on Monday.
The 88-year-old ex-monarch said he hoped the new constitution "will direct people towards peace, security and democracy".
The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder in Kabul says, under the constitution, the country would be called the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.
There would be a presidential form of government, with a vice-president and a parliament with upper and lower houses.
Afghans would have equal rights, and there would be a drive to promote the education of women following their experiences under the Taleban.
"The draft is based on Islamic principles and recognises that no law can be contrary to the sacred religion of Islam," the commission said in a statement.
Our correspondent says the draft makes no mention of sharia law.
The unveiling has been long-awaited by ordinary Afghans, lawyers and experts who have been debating the constitution's likely provisions over the last few months.
Hardliners have sought assurance that the constitution will not turn the country into a secular state. Others were pressing for the adoption of civil laws but in conformity with Islamic principles.
The international community wanted to see that basic human rights were guaranteed and the rights of women protected.
The constitution was drafted by the 35-member commission, which started work more than a year ago.
Hundreds of thousands of questionnaires were sent to communities around the country asking for their views on a new constitution for the country. Those who could not read or write recorded their thoughts on tape.
"It was the day Afghans had been waiting for"

As someone who loves geography and maps, I have plenty of printed atlases and map books. One year, as a gift, my family gave me an early 20th century atlas. That one in particular is remarkable because of how much the world changed between 1921 and 2019—what was French West Africa is now several independent countries.
But our maps may be changing again as Greece has now formally recognised the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia as North Macedonia, what most of the world simply calls Macedonia. But Greeks do not want you to confuse that Macedonia with the Macedonia (or Macedon) of Ancient Greece and Alexander the Great. The squabble over the name has prevented what will be North Macedonia from joining the European Union and NATO because of Greek objections.
The plot uses my favourite small multiples to look at six countries whose names have changed. Some of you may be unfamiliar with the originals. Bechuanaland may be the most obscure, but Burma and Ceylon may be far more familiar. Of course the historian in me then wonders why the mentions of countries spiked in books. But small multiples are usually not the place to do detailed annotations to humour an audience of one.
In terms of its design, we have an effective use of colour and line. I may have dropped the thin red line for the max 100 value as it makes the piece a bit busy overall, but that might just be house style.
Of course for this graphic in particular, we will have to wait several years before we can add Macedonia/North Macedonia to the plot.

Latisse is a popular treatment that patients can apply in the comfort of their own home to treat thin or inadequate lash growth.
In clinical trials, 78 percent of patients who used Latisse as directed experienced a significant improvement in the prominence of their eyelashes. By prolonging the growth phase of your lashes, they are allowed to grow longer and fuller than they would normally.
Latisse works by prolonging the growth phase of your eyelashes, making them grow longer and fuller than they would normally. This is a prescription treatment, so don’t expect to find it at your local cosmetics counter. Latisse is not right for everyone; people with certain eye conditions are not good candidates.
Using Latisse is easy. At night before you go to sleep, cleanse your face and eyelids. Using the provided Latisse applicator, brush a drop of the Latisse solution across the base of your upper lashes.
To get results with Latisse, you must do this as directed. Latisse results become apparent after 8-12 weeks. After 16 weeks of using Latisse as directed, you should see the full results.
Would you like to have longer, fuller, darker eyelashes? Contact our offices in San Diego or Coronado to learn more about Latisse. During your visit to our office, we’ll provide all of the details you need about using the at-home eyelash applicator, and show you how to properly apply Latisse.

This photo of an escaped farm fish salmon with lice has been one of my top sellers with Alamy.
Alamy is a stock agency with a lot going for it. It is one of a few ‘traditional’ stock image agencies left, they have been giving contributors a fair commission share and they are a foundation giving their profit to charity.
However, over the last few years they have been pricing images more to the like of microstock agencies, and recently they disclosed that they would cut contributor commission to 40 percent. They stated that this was to support future growth, i.e. they want to grow at the expense of their contributors.
Anyways, I long since had decided that I would leave any agency paying less than 50 percent to the contributor and immediately asked them to delete my account, and today I received confirmation that my account with Alamy has been deleted.
It is a shame, though. Agencies paying 50 percent or more commission are fewer and fewer, and I really wanted to like Alamy.
But thanks for all the fish.
This is a short usability review of PolarPro filters for the DJI Mavic Pro drone. The review will not touch image quality, only usability.
PolarPro are usually the filters to get with regards to image quality. Don’t bother with cheap, Chinese eBay filters. The colours are likely to be horrific.
While the PolarPro filters are usually high quality products, from a usability standpoint they should hire some competence.
First, the case. The Mavic Pro is all about portability. Downsizing, smallness. As such, so is also the PolarPro filters by necessity. But the case is huge in comparison. PolarPro has been lazy and are using the same filter cases as for Phantom filters. This is a big miss.
Second, the distinguisability. With both the 3-packs or the 6-packs of filters, the aluminium frame of the filters are the same colour. You can’t distinguish one filter from the other, not even in daylight. And remember, these filters are small. There is print on the side of the frame. Again a miss, as the type is small and the font is bold, italic and just really difficult to decipher.
You’ll need to remedy this, e.g. by writing the designation with a high visibility felt pen on the case. Or colour code the filters themselves by different colour felt markers.
However, the best solution is for PolarPro to rethink the usability of their products.
Today a package with new audio gear arrived.
The package contained two Røde microphones, both intended for use with smartphones. One lavalier (the SmartLav+) and one directional (the VideoMic Me).
And not least the Zoom H6 Handy Recorder, which basically is as portable as an XLR mixer can get.
I also have a full gear list, to which these additions are now added.
The home made RAM 1-inch ball to Garmin ball in action, holding my nüvi GPS. The car is my untrusty old Jeep and the blurred background is my home sweet home in Norvegia.
I need, but have not found, an adapter that converts from a RAM 1-inch ball to the Garmin nüvi ball. So I made it myself with available RAM parts.
RAM ball to be cut and drilled.
I used one RAM-to-Garmin double ball snap-link long arm (RAP-SBA-RGLU) and one RAM-HC1-BALL-BU.
I cut the snap-link ball off the the long arm, and cut the 1-inch ball off its base. Next I drilled an 8mm hole in the one inch ball where I had made the cut. I should have used a 7.5mm drill bit, as that would have made a tighter fit. Be advised.
Making an adapter of this adapter.
Then superglue and attach. I also have the option to strengthen the joint with a screw, but I don’t think it will be necessary for holding a GPS.
Most 1-inch balls (preferably without any metal) can be used, but the RAM-HC1-BALL-BU has a pre-drilled hole that can be used for a screw to aid the fastening power of the glue.
After use, the long arm seems a little week, as the GPS is quite jittering on uneven roads. In effect, I will be making a version with a shorter arm.
NOTE: Similar ready made adapters can now be purchased online, so there is no longer need for DIY solutions such as this.

Heads Together - Changing the Conversation in 2017 from InVision Communications on Vimeo.
On your mark, get set, go! Prince William vowed to run a marathon in Kenya after announcing plans for his, brother Prince Harry and Duchess Kate’s mental health charity, Heads Together, during a London press event Tuesday, January 17.
After making impassioned speeches on the topic of mental health to an audience of journalists, media personalities, charity workers and businesses leaders at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, Duchess Kate and princes William, 34, and Harry, 32, met withy various TV personalities who will be running the Virgin Money London Marathon this April for eight mental health charities.
Kidding aside, Fletcher told the crowd that he and the Duke of Cambridge were able to connect because they are both fathers. "This is all very new to me; I'm learning very fast because of my son's situation,” he explained. “William's understanding was incredible but also his sympathy and empathy with me. He asked me lots of questions. I've never met him before, but he's such a warm man. Like two dads talking together."
The royals are not running the London Marathon for security reasons but will be cheering the athletes from the sidelines.
During their speeches, William, Harry and Kate spoke about the importance of lending their support to mental health causes.

Kate said that she, her husband and her brother-in-law have seen firsthand how opening up the dialogue about mental health can be beneficial.

On the night of the 17th September 1588 a great ship of the Spanish Armada La Rata Santa Maria Encoronada of the Squadron of the Levand, short of food and water and battered by the fierce incessant storms which saved England from conquest by Philip 11 of Spain, cast anchor off the shore of Doona for replenishment and repairs.
Its commander was a handsome dashing young man, Don Alonso Martinez de Leyva, a noble of the highest degree and former Captain-General of the Cavalry of Milan.
The ship, a carrack of Genoa fitted out as a battleship with 35 guns carried a complement of 419 soldiers and sailors, including many young scions of the noblest families of Spain eager for fame and fortune under their famous commander and indeed the La Rata had been in the forefront of every engagement with the English fleet as the Armada made it's way up the English channel, its crescent formation unbreached, to it's rendezvous with the Spanish Army of the Netherlands under Alexander Farnese Duke of Parma.
During the night the storm and strong currents of Duna caused the few remaining anchors of La Rata to drag and she piled up on the sands of Tullaghan Bay. Her other anchors had been lost when the Spaniards were forced to cut their cables to avoid English fire at Calais.
Don Alsonso managed to bring all his people safely ashore together with their jewels, gold and arms, including the ships guns. They then took possession of Fahy Castle at Doona, popularly known as Graneuaile's (Grainne Mhaol) castle although it was possibly that time in the hands of Brian Riabhach O Cheallaigh, an in-law of the Barretts. Grace O'Malley however is said to have lived in it afterwards when it passed into the ownership of her son-in-law Riocard a'Burca, lord of the Corraun Territory adjoining Achill and known to the English as the The Devil's Hook.
While there Alonso was approached by Deamhan an Chorainn and Justin Mac Donnell seeking help in their fight against Richard Bingham, the English appointed president of Connaught known to the Irish as the Fail of Connaught.
Don Alonso however had been informed of the two other Spanish Armada ships at anchor off Ard Elly on the western side of Blacksod Bay and determined to bring his men back to Spain. These ships were the Duguesa Santa Ana - 900 tons burdened with 23 guns and 357 men, and the Nuestra Senora de Begona - 750 tons with 24 guns and 297 men.
Don Alonso crossed the Owenmore and took Edmond Barrett's Castle in Doolough and all the other Barrett's Castles on the way to Tirraun where the other two ships were riding at anchor. He was joined by the crew of another vessel the Santiago, known in local folklore as An Long Mhaol, driven minus its mainmast which is said to be buried in a bog, between two strands directly under Duguesa Santa Anna which was driven north and wrecked at Loughros More Bay in Donegal.
Alonso then repaired a galleass, the Girona, and sailed with 1,300 men on board. The Girona was wrecked at Lacada Point in Antrim and all but nine were drowned. Thus perished the Flower of Spain. Their jewellery, which is all that survived, is on show in the Ulster museum.

There are many reasons why you might want to smoke cannabis after surgery, but the driving one is usually the desire to relieve pain. Cannabis is widely noted as an effective pain reliever that may be preferable to many synthetic or opioid-related drugs. Studies suggest cannabis is much less addictive, and comes with fewer side effects. People may also want to smoke cannabis in order to return to their pre-surgical lifestyle. If cannabis is a part of your daily routine, you may be eager to get back to your everyday habits. However, there are some precautions to take.
There are several risks associated with smoking cannabis immediately after surgery. In general, surgeons prefer your body to be substance-free following a procedure so that if something goes wrong it’s easier for them to figure out the cause. A few of the major risks to consider are the risk of infection, decreased blood flow, and slower recovery. Smoking cannabis — or tobacco, for that matter — involves ingesting large numbers of particulates. This process can also damage the immune system and create a potentially unhygienic environment. Additionally, smoking after surgery can cause coughing. This may lead to stitches tearing and cause drains to leak. These constraints do not apply to someone who wants to take cannabis in some way other than smoking. Cannabis consumed through edibles and oils does not impact the healing process. However, you may still want to be cautious and careful about using cannabis immediately after surgery, especially if you’re on painkillers. Combined, these substances may affect your overall mood and behavior patterns.
When is Smoking Safe Again?
While different for every procedure, the recovery period for most surgical procedures lasts several weeks. After about a month, when you are able to exercise again, you should be able to be able to start smoking cannabis. Over time, your wounds will heal up and you will also stop taking pain medication. At this point in the recovery process, there are no extra side effects from the use of cannabis to be worried about.
Recovering after surgery can be a lengthy process, and cannabis can play a big role in making this period more bearable. While there are risks associated with smoking shortly after surgery, and you should be sure to listen to your doctor’s advice, you can safely use cannabis in other forms to relieve your pain and help get you back to normal.

In this post we will be discussing about implementing digest authentication in Node.js and how to process a Digest Authentication request over plain HTTP. Digest Authentication combines Basic Authentication with MD5 encryption thus helps in avoiding the transmission of plain text passwords.
According to Wiki, Digest access authentication is one of the agreed-upon methods a web server can use to negotiate credentials, such as username or password, with a user's web browser.
We have included crypto module for creating a md5 hashing. In Digest Authentication several attributes are included like realm, qop, nonce and opaque in WWW-Authenticate header where realm is same as Basic Authentication, opaque is an MD5 hash of the realm, qop (Quality of Protection) attribute set to auth and nounce attribute is just a random integer.
The getAuth function converts all the attributes to an object (authObj). The first hash digestAuth.hashValue1 contains username and password, the second hash digestAuth.hashValue2 contains request method (i.e. GET) and uri attribute. The digest response digestAuth.response contains digestAuth.hashValue1, nonce, nc, cnounce, qop and digestAuth.hashValue2 each separated by colon(:). Then we check the digest.response with the original response. If both are not same (login failed) user will be presented with another authentication dialog. If both are same then the Login is Successful.
Is there a client implementation which makes use of it?

Fluctuating mentation. Is that common or specific to a given stage?
Have you found with your LO that mentation fluctuates. That at some point you thought they were maybe better?
It seems like there is a plateau and then that drops, another plateau, and that drops too. Is that common or specific to a given stage?
Has been a real head scratcher.
Yes I believe so. I've been wondering the same thing. My hubby was diagnosed with early onset alzheimers. I've looked for answers to this same thing...I felt he improved because it's not really his memory, but came to realize with him its cognitive loss. Which I will say has helped me to be able to look for different things and stages. Every article I've read has said it's a roller coaster ride mixed in with landings along the way. Slow and steady then whoosh.
Yes, one day dad would do real well and the next totally different. It could even change in a span of hours. Mornings after breakfast were usually his best times near the end.
I think that is true. I cared for, then lived with, a couple a little over five years. They both had dementia but expressed differently. Doctors say there is no medical cure, only medication to slow it down. The Mr. was repetitive and forgetful, which progressively got worse, but he had pat answers to routine questions that made it seem like his affliction was mild, but it progressively was more severe and noticeable. Whereas the Mrs. would have the nonsensical talk, be non-communicative, call out for people who long passed away, occasional hallucinate, or be sharp as a tack and still is.
From my personal experience, it is a rollercoaster ride.
You never know who will wake up tomorrow, loving gentle g'ma or satan on steroids. It is not easy and when we come to terms with the reality that there is no reality for them it helps us cope better.
Alzheimer's typically is slow and steady. Some slower than other but the pace is pretty steady.
My Husband was "diagnosed" with Alzheimer's but later I was thinking that he also had Vascular Dementia. That typically will have steep declines. I said Alzheimer's is like walking down a ramp, slow, steady decline while Vascular is more like stairs with landings between the declines where things will hold steady for a while. The two combined was like a ramp with a few stairs thrown in every few paces. I never got an "actual" diagnosis because by the time I learned enough he was past the point where it would matter, no medication would help and knowing would not change the outcome and there was no reason to subject him to tests that would not help.
What does help is a set schedule, being consistent with getting up in the morning, shower routine, breakfast and everything else that goes on.
If your LO is a candidate for Adult Day Care take advantage of that. Socialization is good and if this is part of the routine even better. And it helps you get a break. And decide at what point you will consider a Memory Care facility. Get all the papers you will need in order POA for health, finance, DNR or a better document is a POLST. there is a document you can get on line called Five Wishes that will help a lot with planning.
From what I understand true Alzheimer's is a slow and steady decline. Other forms of dementia, like Vascular caused by strokes will drop suddenly due to a stroke and then plateau until the next stroke. I believe my dad has vascular as he has had hundreds (probably) of undetectable strokes and some that do have obvious symptoms. In Sept for example he had a stroke during the night (we suspect). He woke up with no knowledge that his wife, sons and his mother and siblings were all deceased. Now every day, many times a day he asks about them. He "seemed" to improve somewhat but not totally back to his previous person. You can read about the different types of dementia (which is the umbrella term) at the Alzheimer's Assoc website. Hope this helps.

This recipe was born out of the need to utilize some leftover filling I used to stuff chicken breasts for our dinner. I also conveniently got rid of some Italian salami that was left on an antipasto platter after the same dinner. Maybe this is not a very fascinating or motivating preface, but let me assure you, these little things are loaded with flavor.
I believe the most delicious recipes are created accidentally, without too much hope or expectation of a great result.
Center an oven rack and preheat the oven to 375F. Spray 24 mini-muffin molds generously with olive oil, sprinkle with the bread crumbs.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the milk, extra-virgin olive oil, and eggs. Pour over the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Stir in the grated cheeses, then fold in the chopped artichokes, tomatoes, salami, and basil. Divide between the prepared muffin molds.
Bake the muffins for about 25 minutes, until golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the cupcakes for 5 minutes on a cooling rack, then unmold and serve warm. To unmold, first run an offset spatula around the sides, twist the muffin and extract from the mold.
WOW! These little muffins sound wonderful! What a great way to use your leftovers!
Three things that couldn’t be happier together! I really need to branch out and make some savory muffins. These sound perfect!
These look and sound delicious! I love recipes created to avoid waste, and it just happenes sun-dried tomatoes are a personal favorite.
I’ve never made my own savoury muffins but these look delicious!
Those look really good! What an awesome combo.

So for those of us who enjoy the early morning, Daylight Savings Time...well...isn't.
...and the mental refreshment of meditation, when it is needed most, with minimal preparation.
I was fascinated. Here, in one location, was a convergence of thousands of bicycle enthusiasts. In fact, since it was the North American Handmade Bicycle Show, and since I was a witness to it all, I'll go ahead and say that this was a convergence of bicycle fanatics. As one observer, I must say the whole living organism of it all fascinated me immensely. What are we to make of it? What did we gain, and did we learn anything?
I suppose we all answer that individually. We all have our own separate motivations for being there. Whether business, craft, consumer, art appreciation, social benefits, or journalism, we all have our own measures of satisfaction from the event. We all have our own "take-aways". I was pathetically all over the place. Really. It was sensory overload in more ways than one. As the following paragraphs will show, I had several seemingly unrelated observations. The only thin thread that sewed them all together was this thing we call the bicycle.
I had a brief vision of what a bicycle-based transportation society might look like. On Saturday morning, just a few minutes before the doors opened, folks on bicycles came from all directions. Early on most Saturdays, this corner of downtown Austin is relatively quiet. But like an army of bees returning to the hive, all kinds of folks on all kinds of bicycles came swarming. The ratio of bikes to automobiles was completely reversed. It was quieter, more friendly and conversational, and a beautiful image. I had a living example of "what could be" laid out before me, and it was too bad that car people couldn't be there to experience it.
It was interesting to see the selection of components for bikes within my genre of interest. I didn't see much that was completely new to me, but I was sometimes surprised by the use of items that fall outside my own (insightful or mistaken) sense of optimum. For example, there were more internally geared hubs and belt drive systems than I expected. For my own applications, I've not seen a need to move in that direction, but there must be advantages for some. And just like those clever advertisers desire, I wondered if there was some real advantage that I was missing. Another example of product pondering focused on the Velo Orange Grand Cru 50.4bcd Crankset. I saw this lovely piece of hardware used on several bikes, and I thought to myself, "HooBoy, that would look handsome on my A. Homer Hilsen!" But would it really be better (or even equal) functionally to my current crankset? I don't know...which brings me to my next observation.
The excess was a little embarrassing. That said, I'll confess right now that "excess" is subject to debate, and some will opine that my wonderful A. Homer Hilsen is an example of excess all by itself. I offer no defense. Even so, I submit that more than a few of us thought to ourselves that some of the frames, components, and personal accessories were beyond the sustainable sensitivities that so many bicycle aficionados proclaim. Instead, they were in effect more aligned with a consumption model. I found myself thinking about replacing things that worked well with things that promise to be incrementally better (often at a substantially higher cost). So I myself am certainly not above the fray.
So I wandered the aisles and wanted. I wanted bicycle paraphernalia. I wanted a new frame. I wanted the fun of working with a craftsman to create something special. I wanted new bags, components, and clothing. I felt like buying some of these things would help create that bicycle society I sometimes imagine. I felt like buying these things would somehow change my life and give me more youth, strength, and time to ride. I almost pulled out the credit card on numerous occasions, and I don't know how I resisted. Maybe with age comes a better understanding of how blessed I already am.
I keep at least one of my bicycles inside the house. It is usually in the living room, leaning against the back of the couch. The couch is covered with a sheet to facilitate easier cleaning. The furry rascals sometimes join us for movie night, and maybe the bicycle isn't always perfectly clean while leaning. Like those furry rascals, the bicycle isn't terribly concerned with personal hygiene. It is more interested in adventure.
The bicycle leans there aimed at the front door. In the early morning, the sun shines through the window in the door and gives it an attractive glow. It is a constant visual reminder of adventure potential. It persistently, stoically, and quietly stares at the door, and waits. Without movement or sound, it simply glows and invites me outdoors.
For now, I must be about the day's work. But the bicycle is absolutely ever ready. It pleases me to have it close by, and always calling me to more refreshing moments, away from suffocating urgencies, to the open road and wondering what lies over the ridge.

I have the honor to communicate to you the following items of Northern news taken from the Philadelphia Inquirer of the 29th ult[imo]: which you may find interesting.
Staunton’s dispatch to Gen Dix announces Sherman’s failure on the 27th June with a loss of 2500 including one Brigadier and a number of field officers.(1) The defeat of Gregg by Gen Hampton at Nance’s shop is admitted. Gregg is said to have been severely handled. The Federal loss in killed and wounded in the affair of Gen Mahone is said to have been severe1, and they admit that 2000 prisoners were captured Gen Hunter claims to have been victorious in every fight, and only retired because his powder was exhausted.
There is no indication of any knowledge on their part of the movement of our troops in the Valley. The $300 commutation clause in the draft act has been repealed by a vote of 72 to 79 in the lower house. An amendment was made to the law giving all cities, towns, counties &c sixty days to fill up their quotas by volunteering. The President may call for any number of men to serve for one, two, or three years, and a bounty of $200 is allowed volunteers or substitutes for one year, $300 to those for two years, and $400 to those for three. If the quota be not filled in sixty days, the President may order a draft for one year, and no payment of commutation will be allowed Bounties as above are given to substitutes of drafted men, and the editor supposes to drafted men held for service also.
The executives of each state may recruit in any of the rebel states.
The bill as amended was sent back to the Senate and referred to the Military Committee. It passed the House on the 28th June.
The paper contains quotations of gold in New York as high as 245. Produce of all kinds also advanced.
(1) The battle of Kenesaw Mountain, one of the bloodiest engagements in Sherman’s advance on Atlanta. Joseph E. Johnston, the Confederate leader, confronted with superior forces, had withdrawn in the face of Sherman’s advance but had paused at Kenesaw Mountain, had fortified himself strongly and had invited an attack. Sherman made it in much the same fashion as Grant assaulted the works at Cold Harbor on June 3 of the same year. Sherman reported an aggregate loss of “nearly 3,000, while we inflicted comparatively little loss on the enemy, who lay behind his well-formed breastworks.” For this campaign,—one of the most brilliant withdrawals in military history,—General Johnston never received the credit he deserved. His removal came at a time when he was best in a position to turn on Sherman.
(2) Gold, it must be remembered, attained its highest premium, 286, in Northern quotations during this month.

Consultants have expressed dismay at the latest delay to the government’s flagship £2.9bn consultancy framework, which now won’t be awarded until the end of this year, some three-and-a-half years late.
Building revealed last Thursday that the government’s buying arm, the Crown Commercial Service (CCS), had put back the procurement timetable for its Project Management and Full Design Team Services framework once again.
The CCS had said it would publish the OJEU last month, but Building now understands it intends to issue a revised prior information notice (PIN) in the coming weeks, ahead of publication of the OJEU in July.
The framework was originally intended to go live when its previous iteration expired in June 2013, but has been delayed several times.
The framework was taken over by CCS in November 2014 after its procurement partner UK SBS cancelled the previous process amid a storm of criticism that saw then-failed bidder Turner & Townsend challenge the framework in the High Court. It has been hit by further delays since then.
Commenting on the latest delay, one consultant, who declined to be named, said it was “not confidence inspiring,” adding: “I struggle to understand what they can be doing that is taking so long”.
Another consultant commented: “They’re trying to be all things to all people when they just need to set their stall out”.
A Cabinet Office spokesperson said: “It is vital government has the correct agreements in place to support delivery of our construction projects.

June 13 - Summary of business headlines: Markets jump on stronger retail, jobs data, Gannet buys Belo; Coty falls at NYSE debut; Revlon's $850b settlement; Murdochs divorcing. Bobbi Rebell reports.
Markets took the good news and ran with it - all the major indexes posting gains of more than a full percent. Retail sales came in stronger than expected in May - thanks to a surge auto purchases as well as gains in home building materials. Jobless claims also showing resilience. They fell by 12,000. Hilary Kramer, President of A&G Capital says the losing streak is over - for now. SOUNDBITE: HILARY KRAMER, PRESIDENT A&G CAPITAL (ENGLISH) SAYING: "For the next few days because that's what the market has come to. It's very short term trading, and even from now until the end of the year, its become a traders market. If you are trying to get a 10 or 15 percent gain its not going to happen again but in the short term, we actually have decided that volatility is going to decrease, the S&P will rise, we might see some of the highs that we reached in May, because we are through a lot of the really difficult time. " European markets ended relatively unchanged on Thursday- after paring earlier losses after the optimistic U.S. economic data was released. Gannett shares soared 34 percent to five-year highs after the largest U.S. newspaper chain struck a $1.5 billion deal for television company Belo - a move to grow its broadcast business and diversify revenues. Belo stock up 28 percent. Perfume and beauty products giant Coty made a glamorous debut on the New York Stock Exchange - but investors weren't impressed. Shares of the company - with products tied to celebrities from Vera Wang and Lady Gaga to Beyonce - closed slightly lower than the offering price of $17.50. And Revlon is going to have to pay an $850 thousand dollar settlement after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission charged the beauty company with misleading shareholders about a transaction with its controlling shareholder Ron Perelman. Empire, the operator of Canadian grocery chain Sobeys, is paying $5.7 billion for Safeway's assets in Canada, nearly doubling its reach in the country's western provinces. Safeway shares shot up 7 percent. Microsoft is opening 500 special stores within U.S. based Best Buy stores. They will exclusively sell Windows - based tablets and computers and other Microsoft products. The venture will also add more than 1200 Microsoft-trained Best Buy associates to help customers. And its splitsville for News Corp. CEO and billionaire Rupert Murdoch and his wife of 14 years, Wendi Murdoch. The filing comes just days before News Corp. splits itself in two- but is not expected to have any material impact on that.

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the European Union (EU) have all recently called for a phasing out of mercury-containing amalgam fillings to be followed by a total ban on using mercury in fillings.
