Watch this slow-motion footage from Vision Research of a 300-year-old grenade showing a couple of wood targets who’s in charge.
Where did they get a 300-year-old grenade, exactly? It came from the wreckage of a 17th century ship, La Belle. Back in 1684, French explorer Robert Cavelier, sieur de La Salle, led four ships on a journey that would (theoretically) take them to the mouth of the Mississippi River. The plan was to establish French colonies along the Gulf of Mexico, but considering the fact that La Belle ended up on the sea floor we’ll let you guess how well that plan went.
Just a little more than 300 years later, archaeologists discovered the wreckage and started to excavate the ship. They found a few goodies, including tons of musket shot and three bronze cannons. What was most interesting, though, were the “fire pots,” ceramic pots full of degraded gun powder and an iron grenade. These were one of the world’s earliest handgrenades, a device that was only ever mentioned once in historical records.
So, the obvious thing to do was to test them out and see just how explosive French grenades from 1684 actually were. They trained some high-speed cameras on the ancient explosives and these are the results.
Who knew that such a thing existed in the 1600s?

I need replacement earpads for a pair of old headphones I have. They're not T50RPs, they're an old vintage set for which pads no longer exist. If at all possible I want to have to avoid having to make my own earpads for them, and the T50RP's pads seem like they would fit.
Someone who has a T50rp, I need them to measure the diameter of their earpads, so I can see if they'll fit my headphones. I haven't been able to find measurements for replacement earpads because they're all designed to fit a specific headphone and don't have any measurements. This was all I could think of doing >___>


Re: Skin check
The reason for the skin check was mainly my piece of mind. Husband works outside a lot. Derm. told him he tans well and he shouldn't have any problems with skin cancer. He uses a large magnifying glass with light bulbs on each side and does a pretty quick scan. Since we haven't had any experience with other derms. I'm just concerned if whether this guy is thorough enough, or I need to just chill and assume he knows what he is doing.


Hello to everyone, my first time posting here.
My son who's 2 and half took a fall from my bed this morning, about 3 feet. He seemed alright, so I didn't worry about it...but later on in the day he took a nap and when he woke up he was very out of it. Confused, tired, just not himself. Then he started vomiting. He vomitted 4 times before I took him to the emergency room. Anyhow, the DR says he seemed ok, he wasn't lethargic anymore or vomiting by the time we got there. He just told me to watch him closely. He's still a little out of it though. He's usually a ball of energy, and he's just been lying in his bed watching movies since we got home. He wants to cuddle a lot too..which really isn't like him.
Anyway...I was just wondering if anyone else has gone through something similar? And what the results were?
I'm very anxious and worried. It's not his first injury, fall, trip to the ER etc., and usually I don't worry half as much as I am now. Something just doesn't seem right...I don't want to go back to the ER on a hunch though so I'll wait it out I guess.
The DR said the worst thing it could be is bruising of the brain, ok..doesn't sound too bad, until I looked it up on *****. I'm not sure how tramautic such a thing can be, but it doesn't look so great.
Sorry to go on and on, I'm just nervous and need some reasuring. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/confused.gif

TV Ratings: 'Bones' Move Boosts Demo, March Madness Concludes on an Upswing
Time zone-adjusted numbers for Monday's NCAA men's basketball championship game won't be available until later in the day, but fast affiliate ratings have the Kentucky-Kansas matchup poised to best last year's game, with a 7.0 rating among adults 18-49. That's up 4 percent from a 6.7 for last year's title game, securing an easy win for CBS regardless of the final outcome.
NBC's The Voice entered live broadcasts down 9 percent to a 4.1 in the 18-49 demo, while Smash got a 5 percent bump for a 2.2 rating among adults. The network earned a second place showing of a 3.4 in the demo for the night and 9.1 million viewers.
Dancing With the Stars dropped 13 percent from the previous Monday's performance series, giving the ABC competition a new Monday low of a 2.8 in the demo. It was only topped by basketball among total viewers, though, netting 16.5 million viewers. Castle earned a 2.2 rating among adults 18-49, giving ABC an average of a 2.6 demo rating and 15.1 million viewers.
The already renewed Bones returned on Fox in its new Monday slot, improving 4 percent for a 2.5 rating among adults 18-49 from its most recent original. That made it the top-rated drama of the night and Monday's top performer for the network, outpacing House and Alcatraz. A new House brought in a a 2.2 in the demo. Fox averaged a 2.4 with 18-49-ers and 7.5 million viewers.
A new Gossip Girl earned a 0.5 rating with adults 18-49 for the CW.


While North Miami high school valedictorian Daniela Pelaez was fighting deportation orders last month, Cuban soccer player Yosmel de Armas was planning to defect in Nashville, Tenn. Pelaez, who moved from Colombia when she was 4, received a two-year deportation reprieve and is fighting to stay. De Armas turned up in Miami seeking asylum and is expected to become a U.S. citizen.
Cubans landing on U.S. soil are typically granted asylum and can apply for legal residence in one year. Once they have green cards, they can apply for U.S. citizenship, which will be granted in five years' time. This is the only nationality that has an automatic pathway to citizenship upon entering the U.S.
This policy shares many characteristics with the proposed Dream Act, denounced by Republicans as an amnesty bill. Florida Senator Marco Rubio and senior Republicans are crafting an alternative proposal that will improve the GOP's dismal ratings among Hispanic voters. As they move forward, they should consider the parallels that exist between U.S.-Cuba migration policy, which the GOP fully supports, and the Dream Act, as well as the expectation that all immigrant groups be treated with parity.
U.S.-Cuba migration policy is based on the 1966 Cuban Adjustment Act (CAA) which granted permanent residence to roughly 300,000 Cuban refugees after Fidel Castro took over in 1959. This law ultimately enabled Cubans to become citizens.
The CAA was an appropriate Cold War response to the communist takeover of Cuba. It would have been inhumane and impractical to repatriate Cubans or to marginalize them socially and economically by suspending them in a legal limbo. The same rationale applies to Dream Act beneficiaries who have no ties to the countries they left behind.
The Dream Act would create a path to citizenship for non-Cubans like Pelaez who were brought illegally to the U.S. by their parents before the age of 16, if they attend college or serve in the military for two years. Individuals who meet the Act's requirements could attain citizenship in nine to 11 years.
Opponents of the Dream Act contend that it rewards criminal behavior and would argue that Cubans did not break U.S. laws. That is true, but neither did the beneficiaries of the Dream Act unless they are deemed accountable for the crimes of their parents.
Opponents claim that the Dream Act would incentivize migration because its beneficiaries would sponsor family members. This is correct, but it would be a protracted process. According to the National Foundation for American Policy, the wait time for a U.S. citizen to sponsor a Mexican sibling for permanent residency is 15 years.
If the CAA were being considered for passage today, critics of the Dream Act would oppose it as an immigration magnet. The lure of U.S. citizenship, along with the political freedom and economic opportunity it conveys, has spurred countless Cubans to migrate. The high points of this exodus were the 1980 Mariel Boatlift and the 1994 Balseros Crisis, when over 160,000 Cubans risked their lives crossing the Florida Straits. To preempt perilous mass migrations in the future, the U.S. government began in 1994 to return Cubans intercepted at sea back to Cuba or a third country.
Senator Marco Rubio's proposal (not yet public) is said to provide non-immigrant visas to young individuals so that they can complete their studies and work afterwards. They could apply for citizenship but would not receive preferential treatment.
Their wait would be long. About 60 percent of Dream Act beneficiaries are Mexican immigrants. Of all nationalities, Mexicans have the longest wait time for green cards because the demand greatly exceeds the country's quota.
Senator Marcos's unveiled plan would legalize the status of undocumented youth and enable them to gain an economic foothold. It is a step forward, but it is not enough, and as a Cuban-American, he should know.
The immigration system is broken, and the Dream Act is an important part of the solution. Given the proven contributions of the Cuban-American community to this country, it would be unwise and unfair to deny non-Cuban undocumented youth the same advantages and opportunities for success afforded to Cubans through their American citizenship.

Not a fan of the slideshow button on the iPad’s lock screen? If you want to keep your slide shows private, or if just find the button useless, you can disable the slideshow button with the somewhat redundantly named LockScreenSlideShowLock tweak.
LockScreenSlideShowLock does not hide the slide show button from the lock screen, but it does disable it. With the tweak enabled, the button can be pressed but it won’t glow blue or start a slide show. You can go into settings to toggle the tweak on and off.
This is an iPad only tweak, which requires iOS 5 or higher. It seems to work perfectly on my iPad 3.
The only downside to LockScreenSlideShowLock (aside from its name) is that it leaves a non-functioning button on the iPad’s lock screen. CamSlideShow is a similar Cydia tweak that replaces the iPad’s slideshow with the camera function, similar to the iPhone’s lock screen camera button in iOS 5.0.
Another useful lockscreen tweak is AnyLockApp, which unfortunately only works on the iPhone and iPod Touch. AnylockApp replaces the camera lock screen function with any app on the iPhone. A similar tweak would be very useful for the iPad’s lock screen.
If you absolutely do not want any apps to be launched from your iPad’s lock screen, LockScreenSlideShowLock is available on Cydia for free. LockScreenSlideShowLock is available on the BigBoss repo, which is a default Cydia repository.
Do you think the iPad’s lock screen slideshow is useful, or should it be replaced/disabled? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.


These are two short extracts from material woman. The video was edited in 2005 by myself and Anna Grimshaw from the filming Anna had done during material woman's inhabiting of the Taxi (see curtains). The film is prefaced by these words on the screen:
scrabbling and scuffling
going round in circles
a hundred times,
cobbling out of strips and scraps
that make a place
The poster is for a showing of the video in New York, one of many which have taken place in different settings in Europe and U.S.


Nottinghamshire Police are currently on an Easter egg hunt after a batch of chocolate eggs was stolen near Egmanton.
Four pallets of Easter eggs were taken from a lorry that was parked on the A1 at Weston last night (March 20).
The thieves took the treats between 10:30pm and 5:30am this morning.
Police Sergeant Brendon Hunt said: “We would urge anyone who is offered cut-price Easter eggs to think about where they may have come from and to get in touch if they suspect they may be stolen.
"Any information could help us ‘crack’ this investigation.”

Wonderful!! Thank you, chickie.
Beautiful! Made for lovers & old people (who appreciate it)!
Thank you PLG. I really like your moon with the clouds.
Ooooh, I love the color! We've both been moon-watching, Chickie!
Well, I was awake at that time but was trying to tell myself I needed to sleep some more.............and look what I missed? Dang!
It was 6:30 am lyndee. I saw it just as I passed by the window. Had to dress really fast without putting on a coat and ran out to catch it before it disappeared. It was very hazy so that is why it is distorted a little.
Thank you Celeste, shirley and lyndee.
Was this early morning before gong to bed or early when you got up? Either one is too early for me! So I guess I'll never get a great shot like this one. Thanks!
You only get the full beauty of this one when solved, love it, Thanks chickiemama.
What a great shot :)
Thank you jcarroll, Sissel, JiggyBelle and Jack.
That is GORGEOUS! I liked yesterday's moon, but this one.....WOW! Thanks, Chickie.

Nice shot, Chickie!
Thank you Fidget and morris.

Who was up for a little bit of culty veggie food after running some errands in San Jose? Me! The husband is a good sport and took me out to the Vegetarian House. It was really hot today and I was kind of bummed they didn’t have A/C. Oh well, they had a full menu of food I could choose from, so it kind of made up for it.
When you came in the door they had a table of chocolate. They had local chocolate from Sjaaks that I wrote about before but didn’t look at the prices or anything since we were seated right away.
Honestly, I really wanted a salad. How dorky is that? So I ordered a salad to share as an appetizer. I got the Heavenly Salad and it was pretty darn good. The mint really through it off for me though so if I ordered this again I’d ask without mint. It was kind of unexpected and overpowering.
I ordered the Queens, which was fried soy protein with garlic and onions. I was surprised when it didn’t come with anything else, like rice. The tofu was really tasty but super greasy. The husband loved this one but I needed something to cut the grease. The husband got the Avocado BLT because he has a love affair with avocado. They did not skimp on the avocado! He said the house soup was very tasty but the Heavenly salad was much better than his side salad. He ended up putting some of my fried protein on his sandwich at the end because the tempeh flavour got lost with all the bread and avocado.
Overall it was tasty. It was warm, the service could have been a bit better and the husband declared if we were driving for vegetarian food soon it would be to go to Soley Vegan. Heh. And now, for a walk. I didn’t stuff myself silly but I’m not used to such greasy food anymore and I need to digest.

DJ deal in doubt
DJ Campbell's proposed move to Blackpool has stalled.
It is believed that the two clubs are some way off in their valuations of the player, with Leicester reportedly asking for £1.5 million for the striker.
And it is unsurprising that Blackpool have baulked at the excessive price tag, despite Campbell's heroics for the Seasiders last season in the Championship.
For a player Leicester would have been happy to offload for a nominal fee not so long ago the new valuation all of a sudden seems quite outrageous to the Premier League side. Fair enough.
But can you blame us, really? We have no money ourselves, and it is little wonder we have attempted to inflate the price tag after Blackpool's promotion to the top flight.
And whilst Campbell has seemingly meant trouble since day one at the club (for various reasons not entirely his own fault), it is again understandable that we might try and recoup some of the £1.6 million we paid Birmingham City.
The likelihood is that there will be other clubs interested in taking the striker on in the Championship. Eventually.
I'm not sure we ever expected to get that kind of fee for him, but hey, it's worth starting high right?
We need him off our books and he's very much a wanted man by Ian Holloway, so the chances of a deal being done at some stage still remain high.
So let's just call this a snag...

- none of the routes should present any technical difficulties, although all of them require basic route-finding skills and the walks following part of long-distance trails are challenging full-day expeditions; many follow clear forest tracks and paths across farmland
- Must See
- iconic hills (such as May Hill), forested slopes, coal and iron-making sites with furnaces and ponds, sensational views, picturesque landscapes and a rich cultural and social history
The 25 walks in this guidebook range from relatively simple half-day strolls to challenging full-day excursions along parts of the three long-distance trails which thread their way through the area. With the exception of these longer routes, which will take a full day and require a good level of fitness, almost all of the routes are circular walks and generally they can comfortably be completed in half a day. The walks are described in four sections, covering the western ridges above the gorge of the River Wye; the forested ridges and valleys of central Dean; the eastern ridges together with the lowlands between the Forest and the Severn; and the long-distance trails.
Hemmed in by two major rivers, the Severn and the Wye, the Forest of Dean is truly a land apart, with a distinctive landscape and a unique cultural identity. Encircling ridges and forested slopes give the central Forest a secretive quality, while the ridges above the Wye gorge and the Severn Vale offer sensational views and easy walking.
Historically annexed as a Royal Forest since before the Norman Conquest, it remained a protected hunting ground as well as a site for coal-mining and ironworks from Roman times to the Industrial Revolution. Now, the combination of secretive forests, rolling farmland and ridges above the Wye gorge and the Severn Vale provide excellent paths and spectacular views.
The result is a guidebook that offers all the information walkers need to enjoy a wide range of walking among the rolling countryside of the Forest of Dean.
- 21 day walks and 4 linear routes along long-distance trails, right across the Forest

Appendix A Route summary table
Appendix B Useful contacts
Every one of the routes included in this guide is covered on a single 1:25,000 Ordnance Survey (OS) map, Outdoor Leisure sheet 14 (Wye Valley & Forest of Dean), and it is recommended that this should be used to supplement the detail provided on the 1:50,000 map extracts which have been reproduced at 1:40,000 in this book. Many of the routes use forest roads and tracks, which may occasionally be closed because of forest operations.
Waymarking in the Forest of Dean is extremely variable, ranging from exemplary along the Offa’s Dyke Path national trail to unsatisfactory in a number of the less frequented parts of the area. Even some of the better-known routes, such as the Wysis Way, suffer from erratic waymarking, with signposting missing at a number of crucial points along the route. Some roadside signposts are missing, vandalised or badly sited, and waymarks in the deeper countryside are not provided in some crucial places. Gloucestershire County Council’s priority is to maintain roadside signposts rather than to waymark routes in the countryside, which is understandable because of resource constraints but can be deeply frustrating. Path problems can be reported online at www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/prow. Where problems exist a more detailed description of the path to be followed is given in the route description.

2015 Louisiana Derby Picks with Odds and Expert Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 3/26/2015
If you are going to go to the races at Fair Grounds on Saturday and you want to stay all day, you will want to work on your stamina in advance. Get lots of rest. Drink plenty of fluids. Pace yourself at the bar. And bring lots of money. The Louisiana Derby is part of an absolutely ridiculous 14-race card. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.
The Louisiana Derby is the second major Kentucky Derby prep race of the weekend along with the Florida Derby. It has not been a particularly fertile ground for Kentucky Derby contenders, though. Despite having been run in one form or another since 1894, only Black Gold in 1924 and Grindstone in 1996 have won both this race and the Kentucky Derby. In 1988 Louisiana Derby winner Risen Star got outrun by the great filly Winning Colors in the Kentucky Derby but went on to win the Preakness and the Belmont. Not a lot of success from a high-profile race. The Florida Derby, by contrast, has been around only since the 1950s and yet has produced 57 Triple Crown race winners.

There are nine horses entered in the race on Saturday. Only five, though, are interesting enough to deserve consideration.
International Star (3/1): The favorite in this race is going for the clean sweep - he has already won the LeComte Stakes and the Risen Star, which are the first two of the three main Kentucky Derby preps run each spring at Fair Grounds. Interestingly, though, he isn't based in Louisiana - he trains at Gulfstream in Florida and ships in for the races. I don't really like how he has trained up to this race. I'm also a bit concerned about motivation - he already likely has enough points to earn a spot in the Kentucky Derby starting gate, so a win here may not be the first priority. He's also a New York-bred, and in major races betting on a horse from New York always seems to be a way to go home sad at the end of the day. He's a son of 2000 Kentucky Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus, though, so we know he can handle this distance and more. Add it all up and I'll look elsewhere for better value.
War Story (4/1): War Story has faced International Star in both at the Fair Grounds, and he had the lead late in both before the eventual winner chased him down. There are excuses, though. He was lightly-raced the first time, and he got beat by a much more experienced horse. He wasn't even supposed to be in the second race. He was supposed to run in the Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn Park and had already headed to that track, but the post position draw wasn't kind to them and the forecast was lousy, so they pulled the plug and headed to the Risen Star instead. Of note, there is a jockey change here. Kent Desormeaux had been riding him, but Joe Talamo is flying in to his home state from his current base in Southern California for the ride. He had to commit to two races to get the mount, so this is his Derby mount if he gets that far. Maybe he can do a better job of realizing what seems to be a lot of potential for this horse. I am not entirely convinced by him, but I like him a little better at this price than I do International Star at his price.
Mr. Z (4/1): This horse was third in the Southwest Stakes that War Story skipped, and he has picked up the jockey, Desormeaux, that that horse has discarded. The horse needs to do something - he has run 10 times and has just one win. Trainer D. Wayne Lukas knows a thing or two about winning Triple Crown races, though, and he has been training with renewed vigor the last couple of years despite his advanced age. Still, I'm just not impressed enough to bet him at this price - though the fact that he is running without blinkers after wearing them in his last four races intrigues me.
Keen Ice (5/1): This horse is a son of Curlin out of an Awesome Again mare, so his breeding just jumps off the page and slaps you in the face. This horse should be better than he has been. He has raced in four graded stakes races and has two third- and two fifth-place finishes to show for it. Just not good enough. He has upside, but I won't bet him unless his odds go up from this morning line price.
Stanford (5/1): It is tougher than usual to get a sense of Todd Pletcher's stable this year. He has a pile of horses like usual, but we have to guess more than usual about where, if anywhere, the quality is. This horse has two wins but has struggled in his two biggest races. Last time out he was beaten badly by stablemate Materiality, who is a second-tier contender in the Florida Derby. He was also disqualified in that race for an erratic stretch run. He has talent, and I like his breeding, but he just hasn't been good enough when it matters. He's still raw, though, so he could improve at any time as he gains experience. I'll probably regret it, but I'll be using this horse liberally in my exotic bets.

Retirement statistics: Then vs. now
Continue Reading Below
How long will $1 million last in retirement?
Is this truly the worst time to retire? Bankrate took a look at some key factors to determine what today's new retirees are up against. What follows are some key statistics that don't bode well for the boomer who's planning to retire today.
Timing is everything. A typical portfolio (60% stocks, 40% bonds) enjoyed great success in the 1980s. A retiree could have withdrawn 4% a year and still watched the investment grow, thanks to a confluence of strong yields, bull market returns and low inflation. That wasn't the case in other years. A similar portfolio from which funds were withdrawn beginning in 1960 and 1970 each would have run out of cash before 30 years elapsed, due to high inflation. In 2013, low starting yields are expected to shorten the life span of a $1 million portfolio to 25 years. Some investors wonder, is the golden age of retirement gone?
Inflation: Then vs. now
Annual inflation over 30 years
Decades ago, high inflation made it tougher for retirees to live off of their investments. Someone who retired in 1960 or 1970, for example, would have dealt with an average annual inflation rate of about 5% over the next 30 years.
Real returns: Then vs. now
Real return, 30 years
A typical 60-40 portfolio of stocks and bonds has posted a range of returns over the past several decades. It's impossible to say how the market will perform in coming decades. Given today's low yields, however, Research Affiliates -- which helps clients with indexing and asset-allocation strategies -- calculates that the return on a 60-40 portfolio will likely be much lower over the next 30 years than it was for someone who'd invested in a similar portfolio in 1960, 1970 or 1980.
Personal savings: Then vs. now
Personal savings rate in the US
The personal savings rate has been on the decline for the past 30 years, according to statistics from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Americans are currently saving roughly 4 cents on the dollar of disposable income. That's less than half of what they were saving in the 1970s and 1980s.
Standard of living: Then vs. now
Standard of living in retirement
Retirement experts say there's a growing gap between the amount of money people need to retire, and what they actually have in the bank. The Center for Retirement Research at Boston College measures that gap with its National Retirement Risk Index, which estimates the portion of working-age families that are at risk of being unable to maintain their standard of living in retirement.
Health care costs: Then vs. now
Out-of-pocket health costs
The cost of staying healthy continues to rise. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services estimates that the out-of-pocket expense will rise by more than $300 per person over the next decade.
Population increase: Then vs. now
Population 65 years and older by size and percent of total population: 1900 to 2010
The number of Americans age 65 and older has jumped over the past century, and that will continue as the baby boomer generation reaches retirement age.


Mom said hard work will get you recognized...
Mom shared her wisdom freely, and often: Hard work will get you recognized. We have definitely been working hard in 2016, and just like mom said, we’ve been recognized, too.
In a recent stretch, we tried a personal injury case to verdict in state court in Beaumont, Texas, followed by a construction defect case in federal court in San Angelo, Texas (the Northern District of Texas), and finally, an insurance breach of contract lawsuit in state court in Harris County, Texas. We also set aside some time to argue an appeal in Houston’s First District Court of Appeals. All this in a firm with just 7 lawyers!
A recent publication reported on the third trial in our run of back-to-back-to-back trials. We were proud to hear they thought it was noteworthy. The truth is that it was very noteworthy from our perspective. We were just surprised it caught the attention of others along the way.
While we agree with the perspective of the author, we found other significance in this case. For one, the case represented the very first trial Lori Daves has taken to a jury since she joined our firm a year ago. Additionally, it was the first time our firm suited up for a trial in Houston, where we do not (yet) have an office. Of course, we were also a little tired, having spent literally two continuous months in courtrooms across Texas.
The trial involved a claim for insurance benefits to repair damage to the roof of a home in Houston. The other side had an expert, and the case involved a roof that definitely needed repair. In short, this was a donnybrook. While we certainly burned the midnight oil, we also had a very hard-working jury – they asked to come early and stay late. When we say they worked hard, we mean hard – they returned their verdict at 10:30 at night! We were honored by the jury’s work effort. Fortunately for us and our client, the evidence fell just like we had hoped and a favorable verdict was returned in minutes.
What did we learn from this stretch? Lots. Most importantly, however, we learned that mom was right all along.
Call us if you want hard-working lawyers working for you. And don’t forget to call if you are a hard-working lawyer who wants to join forces with folks who are just like you!


members of a Larne family have raised almost £16,000 for the Ulster Cancer Foundation (UCF) in memory of their daughter and sister Esme Marie who sadly passed away to cancer.
Together with the Ulster Cancer Foundation, the Devine family set up the Esme Marie McManus Forget Me Not Fund and have raised an incredible total of nearly £16,000 to date through a series of fundraising events.
The latest fundraiser was a special charity night at St Comgall’s Club which included the auction of signed Celtic, Manchester United and Leinster shirts and raised more than £4,000. The evening was organised by Esmie’s sisters, Cate Devine and Geraldine Hamilton. Their uncle Michael Campbell also organised a charity quiz at Larne Bowling Club which raised over £400.
Cate, who is expecting a baby at the end of September, and Geraldine, who has just had a baby boy called Alex, said: “We are completely overwhelmed by the generosity of the local community. The family wish to thank everyone who has supported our events, including all those organisations and businesses which recently donated raffle prizes and provided music for the night.
“All money raised for the fund is donated in Esme’s name to UCF and will help fund vital cancer support and care services for cancer patients and their families across Northern Ireland.
“It is so sad that our beloved Esme isn’t here to enjoy the new babies who she would have loved. But we know she is looking down on us all and we are proud to be able to do this work in her name to help support others who are coping with a cancer diagnosis.”
The family would like to thank the following for their support: Manchester United FC, Celtic FC, Leinster Rugby, The Beauty Studio, The Barber Shop, Viking Lodge, Spar, Haze at No 10, Olderfleet Bar, Origin Hair, Calm Skin Therapy, Robinson’s Furniture and Gifts, Plata Jewellers and the Meeting House, those who provided the music and all others who helped with the event.
UCF was the first charity in Northern Ireland to introduce Forget Me Not tribute funds, which is a special way of giving donations to the charity.
Claire Hudson from UCF said, “Thank you to Cate, Geraldine and the Devine family for their commitment and continued support. They have raised a magnificent sum which will be a huge help funding our many free services for cancer patients.
“Setting up a Forget Me Not Fund in the name of a loved one is a very special way to remember someone and celebrate their life, while raising much needed funds for UCF. Some people choose to set up a fund in honour of a loved one, friend or colleague who has passed away, while others will set up a fund to celebrate surviving cancer.
“Family, friends and work colleagues can all support the funds - in any way that is right for them and for as long as they like. Forget Me Not Funds can help change the lives of people, not just today but for future generations.”
If you would like more information on setting up a Forget Me Not Fund in memory of your loved one please contact Claire Hudson at UCF by telephoning 9068 0745 or by emailing email@example.com. For more information about the f UCF log onto www.ulstercancer.or org or call 9066 3281.


Former wildchild Davinia Taylor is making her TV comeback, returning to Hollyoaks after almost two decades.
She played party girl Jude Cunningham from 1996 to 1998, and in real life was part of London’s notorious Primrose Hill set along with Kate Moss and Sadie Frost.
Now after battling a host of personal demons and a stint in rehab, the mum is delighted to have been signed up for the soap once more.
The 38-year-old tells Square Eyes: “I’m thrilled to be going back into Hollyoaks and bringing Jude back.
“I am desperate to see what on earth she has been doing for the past 18 years and what trouble she will no doubt cause when she returns to the village.
“I’m looking forward to seeing cast and crew that I used to work with and being reunited with my old mate Stephanie Waring [Cindy Cunningham] as well as Jimmy McKenna [Jack Osborne] and Nick Pickard [Tony Hutchinson], and meeting all the on and off screen talent who work on the show now.”
Davinia’s comeback follows an event-filled few years.
In July 2003, she married football agent Dave Gardner, with David Beckham as the best man. But after ending up in rehab in 2005 and splitting from Dave in 2010, she took a step away from the celeb world.
She previously admitted she had cut ties with the Primrose Hill set.
“I’m not in touch with any of my old friends apart from Jenny Frost,” she said in 2011.
“It was really hard cutting them off because they were my family for about 15 years.
“But I knew it was an absolute necessity. Alcoholism is a complicated disease and you never know when you’ll be tempted to pick up another drink.” Jude was Hollyoaks’ original bad girl.
As Cindy’s loyal older sister, she was a glamorous, manipulative schemer, who fled the village after a jewellery heist went wrong.
After her sister Dawn had died of cancer, Jude took Dawn’s passport, put on a brown wig and fled to Spain.
A soap source said: “Davinia has been out of the industry for over a decade while she focused on her young family. But she is excited to come back to TV and Jude is one of Hollyoaks’ best loved characters of all time.”
Davinia will be filming this summer and on screen in autumn, in what has been described as a huge storyline.
- Hollyoaks airs weekdays at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first-look episodes at 7pm on E4.


231-Unit Luxury Community Set to Break Ground in Downtown Wilmington
This summer Buccini/Pollin Group will break ground on a new luxury apartment community as part of a revitalization plan in Wilmington, Del.
- May 08, 2015
Wilmington, Del.—This summer, Buccini/Pollin Group will break ground on a new luxury apartment complex as part of a revitalization plan in Wilmington, Del. Named the Residences at Midtown Park, the project is expected to serve as a gateway between the city’s decades-long redevelopment effort on Market Street and a newly proposed Creative District that will take shape immediately west of downtown. As reported by The News Journal, Buccini/Pollin Group’s new residential complex is set to replace the Midtown Parking Center—which is located downtown Wilmington, between 8th, Orange, 9th and Shipley streets—, the Ninth Street Book Shop, and other adjacent retail stores. The Residences at Midtown Park will consist of two high-rise buildings that, combined, will offer 231 luxury apartments targeting Millennials. The new apartments are expected to be occupied in record time, seeing that the overall downtown Wilmington luxury rental market hit 93.2 percent in Q4 2014, according to research data compiled by MPF Research and quoted by the news source. Approximately 800 new luxury apartment units have been completed in this part of the city in the last 15 years, yielding an occupancy rate of 99 percent. The high-end luxury apartments completed post 2000 posted an average rent of $1,643 in downtown Wilmington.


• Laser engraved, with square or rounded corners. A longer lifespan, so you won’t need to replace them for your long-term employees.
• A wide range of options, in 4 sizes, and 30 different colors.
• Choose a standard or framed border, and pick from a variety of fonts.
• Then, choose a back fastener for your badges.


Tommy Wright has become the sole manager of Corby Town after it was confirmed that Andrew Wilson has now left the club.
The pair had worked as joint-managers after being appointed by previous chairman Kevin Ingram in September last year.
But the change has been made following the completion of a takeover by a consortium of local businessmen last weekend.
Wilson had previously been at Harborough Town and assistant-manager of Histon before linking up with Wright to join the Steelmen following the departure of Chris Plummer early on last season.
A statement released by the club confirmed it was “not financially viable” to continue with two managers.
The statement said: “The new owners of the club would like to thank Andrew Wilson for his contribution and hard work during an extremely difficult season.
“Sadly, it was not financially viable to have two managers at the club and the board could not justify this position any longer.
“We felt that the fairest option for all involved was to make the decision now, in order to allow Andrew the opportunity to find himself a new club ahead of the 2014-15 season.
“On behalf of everybody at Corby Town Football Club we would like to wish Andrew the best of luck and every success in his future career.
“We would certainly recommend him to any potential employers, as he has been truly first class during his time at Steel Park.”


Polio apparently reached Mecca, Islam's holy city, just before last month's annual pilgrimage by two million Muslims, and World Health Organization officials now fear that it could be spreading around the world, carried by returning pilgrims.
In crowded nations with spotty vaccination coverage, like Bangladesh and Indonesia, "there could be substantial consequences," Dr. Bruce Aylward, coordinator of the W.H.O.'s Global Polio Eradication Initiative in Geneva, said in an interview.
"This is a crucial point," he added. "We're staring at the whites of the eyes of this thing."
A Saudi government spokesman said his country had feared the arrival of polio this year because it was known to be spreading across Africa. The Saudis started a sweeping polio inoculation campaign in September, hoping to head off the threat before the height of the hajj, or pilgrimage, in late January.
Saudi Arabia had been polio-free since 1995, but two cases were found there late last year. The first, confirmed in late December, was in the port city of Jeddah in a girl who became paralyzed on Nov. 6, just after arriving from Sudan. The second, more worrisome case, became known today, Dr. Aylward said. It was discovered in a 5-year-old Nigerian boy who developed paralysis on Dec. 15. What made it more troubling was that his family had lived for several years in an illegal encampment on the outskirts of Mecca, so he must have caught it in Saudi Arabia.
Spotting new outbreaks in far-flung countries will still take weeks, experts said. Paralysis affects only about 1 in 200 carriers of the virus, symptoms can take up to 35 days to emerge, pilgrims traveling by bus or boat can take weeks to get home, and epidemiological reporting in poor countries is often slipshod.Continue reading the main story
"You want to be well into March before you breathe a sigh of relief," Dr. Aylward said.
The virus lives in the intestine and spreads through fecal-oral contact, so anything from changing a diaper to sharing a food dish or swimming in contaminated water can transmit it. Polio vaccination was not required for hajj pilgrims because it was a rapidly diminishing threat until this year. Even if it was required, thousands of pilgrims arrive illegally, and many legal visitors carry forged immunization records, said the government spokesman, Nail al-Jubeir of the Saudi Embassy in Washington.
"We have to trust the health services of the countries they come from," he said. "We can't give everyone blood tests."
Polio has been spreading from northern Nigeria since 2003, when vaccination campaigns there were halted for months after Muslim imams and local politicians spread rumors that the vaccine could make women sterile, transmit AIDS or was made with pork products.
Most cases related to that outbreak have been in the largely Muslim Sahel, the band of arid but arable land south of the Sahara Desert stretching from Mali to Ethiopia.
The remaining pockets elsewhere are also mostly in Muslim areas: Pakistan, northern India, Afghanistan and Egypt.
In September, Saudi Arabia began vaccinating 800,000 people in Mecca and in the Jeddah area, where pilgrims disembark.
Each case of paralysis implies that many more virus-carriers are nearby. Most victims suffer symptoms no more serious than those of flu, but even people with no symptoms can pass the virus.
In 1988, when polio was endemic in 125 countries, the annual assembly of the health ministers of all nations in Geneva declared their intent to eradicate it by the year 2000. That target was missed, but $3 billion in vaccination campaigns drove the disease back until it existed in only six countries by the end of 2003: Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Niger, Egypt and Afghanistan.
But in 2002, Muslims in large swaths of Nigeria and Niger began resisting vaccination. The reasons were complex: religious and political rivalries, a failed drug trial, and reports of the controversial 1999 book "The River," which linked AIDS to polio vaccinations in the Congo in the 1950's.
The World Health Organization, Unicef, Rotary International and other groups fighting polio began intensive lobbying of local Nigerian officials, as did senior Islamic clerics from other countries.
It took until last year to persuade the governor of Nigeria's Kano State, one of the loudest critics of the vaccine, to accept it as long as it was imported from a Muslim country. He inaugurated a new vaccination drive in October by allowing Nigeria's president, Olusegun Obasanjo, to give his daughter drops of a vaccine made in Indonesia.
But by that time, the virus had escaped. Last year, paralysis cases appeared as far west as Mali and as far south as Botswana. Genetic testing identified them as a strain from Nigeria.
"In most of them, we were able to surround it and stop it from transmitting locally," said Dr. David L. Heymann, representative for polio eradication of the W.H.O. secretary-general.
The most persistent migration was to the east, with cases spreading along the Sahel's highways. Sudan, which had been polio-free for three years, found a case imported from Chad in May 2004, and by late January had 112 cases, most of them in Darfur, on the Chad border, around the capital, Khartoum, and in the state bordering the Red Sea.
Some Sudanese officials suggested that it had been spread by refugees fleeing fighting in southern Sudan, and a polio expert at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta recently offered that explanation.
But Dr. Aylward said it "didn't make any sense" because the Khartoum refugee camps had existed for years and cases were exploding in Port Sudan, the jumping off point for Mecca.
"Tens of thousands of pilgrims pile up in Port Sudan, and they can be there for weeks or months," he said.
Another urgent worry of his, he said, was that the hundreds of truckers from landlocked Ethiopia who use Port Sudan could carry polio back home, where immunization rates are low.
Mr. Al-Jubeir said Saudi Arabia hires thousands of extra doctors for the hajj season, who watch for signs of disease among the millions entering through special airport and boat terminals set aside for pilgrims.
However, he said, they cannot spot someone with no symptoms, and many people carry vaccination records that were stamped in return for bribes in their home countries.
Also, he said, the Saudi border police have caught as many as 52,000 people a month sneaking into the country, mostly from Africa, through Yemen.
"It's a nightmare," he said.
During the hajj, vast crowds circle the Grand Mosque and stone the pillars of Satan while pressed so closely together that, in some years, many have died in the crush. Hundreds of thousands live in government-inspected tent cities, but thousands camp illegally in the mountains around Mecca with no health or sanitation facilities.
"Before terrorism, our biggest concern was disease," Mr. al-Jubeir said.
The 2000 hajj saw a serious outbreak of meningococcal meningitis. Now, pilgrims are supposed to show proof of vaccination against it before they board planes at home, and those from countries where meningitis is common are required to swallow an antibiotic upon arrival.
This year the Saudis required those vaccinations and, for pilgrims from certain countries, yellow fever.
Most Muslims who fly to Saudi Arabia each year do not normally bring their children, Dr. Aylward said, since the hajj is an obligation of adults and involves long treks under the desert sun. But pilgrims from Africa too poor to fly may have no choice.Continue reading the main story

NEW YORK, NY — Michigan Governor Rick Snyder today signed a bill that could shut down health care centers that provide abortion by mandating extreme licensing rules.
Planned Parenthood led an intensive grassroots campaign to ensure abortion remains safe and legal in the state of Michigan. Nevertheless, legislators who lost their seats in November because of their positions in favor of restricting women’s health used a lame-duck session to pass this unprecedented package of dangerous legislation. As a result of this out-of-touch lame-duck agenda, Governor Snyder’s approval ratings are plummeting.
Statement by Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood Action Fund
“This bill was meant to ban abortion in Michigan, and it was pushed through in a lame-duck session by legislators who were voted out of office because of their extreme views on women’s health.
“Voters sent politicians a very clear message in last month’s election: stay out of women’s health care decisions. Governor Synder should remember that politicians who interfere with women’s health were ousted last month.
“In the meantime, Planned Parenthood is focused on providing quality, affordable health care to the millions of women who rely on it. Planned Parenthood health center doors are open today, and they will be open tomorrow.”


MicroMillions II: Liska01 plays "Deal or No Deal" to dominate Event #21 ($3.30 Pot Limit Omaha 6-Max Turbo)
Event #21 of this MicroMillions II was the $3.30 Pot Limit Omaha 6-Max Turbo. The 8,103 entrants who bought in created just a bit of overlay on the $25,000 guaranteed prize pool. With about 1,000 places paying out, $3,750.00 was reserved for the eventual champion.
PokerStars Team Online Andre "acoimbra" Coimbra will mount a charge in this series soon enough, but he was forced out with well over 4,500 players still remaining in Event #21. If there's a silver lining, it's that a speedy bust-out earned him a few hours of time away from the tables this afternoon. That's a rare thing when you're trying to cram 100 events into 10 days, and we can only hope he spent it catching up on sleep.
In any case, Liska01 was stealing the show as his name was attached to the biggest chip count for several hours. That's saying something in a six-max turbo PLO event. He was doing such good work that he rarely had less than twice the chips of the nearest challenger. When he crossed over the 10-million-chip mark, he owned almost a quarter of the chips in play with 12 players left.
Finally, as two tables played down to one, the gap began to close and the pack began to catch up with the big stack. Laurenzis doubled up through Liska01 with a marginal hand to slip back to knock him back to 8 million, and it was the first of three big battles between them.
The second saw Laurenzis run out a straight with A♦ K♠ Q♦ 6♠ to double, and the two got it all in again just a few hands later. It was A♣ A♥ 8♣ 8♦ for Laurenzis and T♥ T♦ 6♣ 6♠ for Liska01. A third ace came on fourth street, and it secured Laurenzis' third consecutive double through the same opponent.
Liska01 was suddenly in the middle of the pack for the first time in memory, and the exchange left Laurenzis alone atop the counts. His chip lead had a very short life span, however. Just a few moments later, three players got it all in preflop, and Laurenzis had the low end of the deck covered.
The 9 million chips in that pot made it the largest to that point, and it put Lithuania's storas1234 on the big stack. Unlike the previous chip leader, he managed to grow that lead quickly and find some breathing room. Very shortly thereafter, lg123456789 and his two pair fell in eighth place when storas1234 rivered a nut flush against him. That was another three million chips to Lithuania's corner. Despite having his hands on the chip lead just minutes earlier, Laurenzis was cut down in seventh place, and the final table was set.
Final Table Chip Counts:
Seat 1: RubendeB (Netherlands) - 6,107,260
Seat 2: Saturn8910 (Greece) - 3,912,400
Seat 3: Liska01 (Czech Republic) - 9,056,131
Seat 4: Zorrogilla (Germany) - 4,866,974
Seat 5: treefella (United Kingdom) - 3,722,432
Seat 6: storas1234 (Lithuania) - 12,849,803
Level 49: Blinds 250K/500K
Average stack: 6.75 million (13.5bb)
Before the first hand was dealt, Saturn8910 started sowing seeds.
Saturn8910: deal? :)
No takers this time, but there'd be plenty more chances.
First to exit the final table was treefella, who found himself the victim of an aces-versus-kings encounter. More than 11 million chips piled into the pot preflop, and his K♦ K♣ A♠ 8♦ could not catch up. It was RubendeB with the superior A♣ A♥ A♦ 5♦. Just two aces were all that were needed, and treefella was paid out $375.00 for his appearance at the final table.
The table was down to five, and it was time to resume the chatter. Now, RubendeB joined the cause and proposed that they take a quick look at the numbers. A few more hands played out as the host was giving her instructions, and Liska01 and RubendeB were essentially tied for the chip lead at that point with just over 12 million apiece.
Based on chip equity, Saturn8910's proposed payout was just shy of $1,700. That was just less than third-place money, and he quickly asked for more.
Saturn8910: i need 1850
That didn't go over so well at all.
RubendeB: im not giving up a penny
Liska01: why I am much better than you ...
storas1234: no deal
The host resumed the tournament. Just three hands after the peace talks broke down, Saturn8910 opened with a pot-sized raise to 3 million. It was more than half his stack, and he called off the remainder when Liska01 three-bet behind him. The at-risk player was very slightly ahead with A♥ K♠ Q♠ 2♣, but Liska01's A♦ J♥ 8♦ 4♠ was hunting for the knockout. There was some good drama on board, so we'll let you watch how Saturn8910's tournament ended for yourself:
It was essentially a coin flip on every street, but two pair turned into a full house to give Liska01 the knockout. For his fifth-place finish, Saturn8910 earned $625.00.
With four players left, the clock was paused for the talks to resume one last time. With a significant chip lead, it was Liska01 asking for an extra 10% equity. A deal would have guaranteed him just less than $3,500, but he refused to take less than $3,700. The four traded numbers back and forth for a few minutes, but there wasn't much progress made. Once again, no deal.
That was the last of the table talk as the rest of the battle went by in a blur. In a three-hand sequence, Liska01 systematically collected the rest of the chips on the table. Zorogilla was dismissed in fourth place when his A♣ K♣ 5♥ 4♠ made two pair on the K♥ Q♣ Q♥ 2♥ 6♦ board. That was inferior to Liska01's Q♠ J♠ T♥ 7♥, and Zorogilla was awarded four figures of cash -- $1,125.00 for a few hours' work.
On the very next hand, 75% of the chips in play went into the middle preflop. It was 100% of RubendeB's remaining chips, and it was aces versus queens this time. It was the pivotal moment of the final table:
That was the end of RubendeB in third place, pocketing $1,875.00. Liska01's stroll on Broadway put him in the catbird seat going into heads-up play with a 10:1 chip lead. Just one hand later, it was over. The shorty had less than three big blinds, and he needed to find a double on his first shove:
Liska01: 6♦ 6♥ 6♠ 5♦
storas1234: T♠ K♦ 9♥ 8♣
The J♠ 7♥ J♣ flop gave storas1234 plenty of chances to catch up, but Liska01 was just too much today. The turn 4♣ and river 3♠ filled in the straight for the five-six, and storas1234 was eliminated as the runner up. That's good for $2,625.00.
HostSilviaF (Host): Wow that was fast!
It's not often a player is able to control such a big percentage of a poker tournament, particularly in a game as swingy as PLO. Liska01 turned in a fantastic performance from start to finish, though, and it's certainly fitting that he finds himself in the winner's circle today. It wasn't quite wire-to-wire, but it was impressive to behold, nonetheless.
"No deal," turned out to be a wise decision several times over for the Czech, and his reward for victory is $3,750.00 and the title of champion in Event 12. Well done, and well deserved, indeed.
Event #21 Final Table Results:
1: Liska01 (Czech Republic) - $3,750.00
2: storas1234 (Lithuania) - $2,625.00
3: RubendeB (Netherlands) - $1,875.00

Russia signs $3bn arms deals with India
Russian President Vladimir Putin and India’s PM Manmohan Singh signed a number of arms deals during Putin’s visit to Delhi, which include the supply of 71 military helicopters for $1.3bn and kits to assemble 42 Sukhoi jet fighters for a further $1.6bn.
India is currently the world's largest arms importer, and one of Russia's top clients for arms sales as Russian-made military equipment accounts for 70% of Indian weaponry.
Trade between Russia and India has been growing steadily and is expected to reach around $10bn dollars in 2012, up from $7.5bn in 2009, according to Indian official figures. Ahead of the visit, the Russia President called to increase bilateral trade to $20bn by 2015.
"Our trade turnover has overcome the consequences of the global crisis, and in 2012 we expect to reach record numbers, over $10 billion. Our next goal is to reach $20bn by 2015," Putin said.
The agreements are expected to overcome a recent slowdown in arms procurement as India has shown increased interest in western suppliers. Last month Dehli preferred Boeing over Russia's MiG for a major helicopter contract.
Trade relations with India were complicated by Russian efforts to improve relations with Pakistan. India has also been unhappy with a delay in delivery of the aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov. It was originally due to be delivered in August 2008 but has been postponed to the end of 2013, while the price has more than doubled to $2.3 billion.
In addition to the agreements signed on Monday Russia Helicopters and India's Elcom Systems Private Ltd are to set up a joint venture to manufacture helicopters, according to Indian Foreign Ministry officials.
Despite some negative moments in the two countries’ trade relations, the bigger picture looks much better, according to Professor and Dean at the Jindal School of international affairs in New Delhi Dr. Sreeram Chaulia.
“Both countries have a list of sore points to put it so. Indians want the aircraft career to be delivered faster, and there have been issues about attempting to increase the civilian part of the trade. The civilian part of the trade has unfortunately remained limited to 10 billion dollars per annum and we would like to see it going much faster. India-China for example is over 70 billion dollars,” Dr. Chaulia told RT. “But as I said before, if you look at the big picture in any strong solid special relationship like ours you can find occasional creases here and there which can be ironed out and smoothed out at highest political level.”
President Putin and PM Singh have also discussed security in the region during the meeting in Delhi.
"India and Russia share the objective of a stable, united, democratic and prosperous Afghanistan, free from extremism," Singh said.
Putin has also met President Pranab Mukherjee, Sonia Gandhi, chairman of India’s ruling United Progressive Alliance, and Sushma Swaraj, leader of the main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party. The leaders meeting was relocated to Singh's residence due to security reasons as massive protests over widespread violence against women in the country took place in Delhi.


Oklahoma Democrats want to ban Onanism
“Any action in which a man ejaculates or otherwise deposits semen anywhere but in a woman’s vagina shall be interpreted and construed as an action against an unborn child,” Johnson stated in a handwritten amendment to Oklahoma senate bill 1433.
Her satirical proposal came as a response to a real draft-law sponsored by conservative legislators.
The bill which is being dubbed the “Personhood” bill states that life begins at conception and declares that "unborn children have protectable interest in life, health and well-being."
The Oklahoma senate bill, by Senator Brian Crain (R-Tulsa), passed the Senate Committee on Health and Human Services on Monday. It would additionally ban all forms of abortion and would organize a legal challenge toRoe v. Wade.
“As a woman and a 31-year veteran of the legislative process in Oklahoma, I am increasingly offended by state law trends that solely focus on the female’s role in the reproductive process,” Senator Johnson explains to The Guardian.
“With Oklahoma’s new, never-before-experienced Republican majority, we are seeing enactment of more and more measures that adversely affect women and their rights to access safe medical procedures when making reproductive healthcare decisions,” Johnson added.
She admits that her proposal is meant to “draw humorous attention to the hypocrisy and inconsistency.”
“My amendment seeks to draw attention to the absurdity, duplicity and lack of balance inherent in the policies of this state in regard to women,” Johnson affirmed.
Johnson isn’t alone in the matter.
According to TulsaWorld.com, Senator Jim Wilson (D-Tahlequah), who supports the pro-choice stance, has also presented an amendment that would make the father of an unborn child fiscally accountable for the unborn child’s mother's health care, housing, transportation and nourishment while she is expecting. The proposal has failed.
According to Johnson people of both sexes have come forth and expressed their support to her cause and Johnson believes anyone who is against big government should side with her.
“From the Republican perspective of down-sized government and less government intrusion into people’s private affairs…it is far more important that we address issues such as affordable healthcare to help improve our state’s ranking of 48th in health status; to create good, secure jobs that grow our economy; and ensure that all citizens have access to quality, affordable education,” Johnson acknowledged.
If the amendment were to somehow pass without stiff opposition, many would be left wondering how the state government would enforce the new bill. Would the state of Oklahoma send a law enforcement agent to make sure you aren’t “spilling your seed?”
Meanwhile if the "Personhood" bill is adopted by the Senate of Oklahoma, it would ban not only abortions but also reduce the number of providers for in-vitro fertilization.
According to Dr. Eli Reshef, medical director at the Bennett Fertility Institute, if a lab technician dropped a dish containing fertilized human eggs, it would be considered a crime.
As reported by TulsaWorld.com Reshef said, "Embryos, including those frozen in storage, are now persons. Do they have inheritance rights because they are a person now? Do they have to be counted in the Census? I know this might sound like stretching, but this is how vague a law like this is."

Origin and Evolution of New Business
by Amar V. Bhide’
The book examines the nature of the opportunities that entrepreneurs pursue, problems and tasks they face, traits and skills they require, and the social and economic contributions they make; and then compares those realities with features of large, established companies. Entrepreneurs pursue opportunities with different levels of uncertainty, investment requirements, and likely profit. They survive and prosper because of an ongoing ability to adapt to opportunities and problems, are subjected to many detours, and stumble often along the way.
