Early this year, we shared news that Mayor Rahm Emanuel proposed a $1 billion plan to the Trump Administration to revamp Union Station. Focusing on attracting private developments, the plans included the construction of a tower and remodeling in the Great Hall.

It was recently announced that this plan is, in fact, moving forward and that Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the CEO of Amtrak selected Riverside Investment and Development to lead the overhaul. Viewing... Читать дальше...

Most of us have an opinion about whether we prefer reading on screen or paper: but what difference does it make for children? The truth is that technology is now encountered from babyhood. Anecdotes abound of toddlers swiping their fingers across paper rather than turning the page, while parents and teachers express their fear of screen addiction as tablets introduce new distractions as well as new attractions for young readers.

In the past, people had to make an effort in order to get ahold of books they were interested in reading. Nowadays, though, they have an entirely different problem. There are so many books out there, yet there is not enough time to read them all. Of course, the solution for this would be to make your selection narrower, and then work your way down the list. But how do you narrow it ...

I used to absolutely adore chicken popcorns. The spicy, crispy, crunchy coating, with the soft filling. Doesn't sound quite as nice when I think about what was actually in the filling now... 
But my woes have been answered by the fantastic product team at Asda! They have done the impossible and created vegan popcorn 'chicken'. I was as stunned as you are, my dear readers, when I came across this on the vegan chat forums (I assure you that this isn't as weird or as boring as it sounds!). Instantly my attention was captured... Читать дальше...

For as long as I can remember, I've had a camera in my hand. I remember being at Colchester Zoo when I was around 11 years old and realising that whilst others around me were quickly snapping their photos, I was framing mine through the viewfinder of my little Kodak compact, desperately hoping the little penguin in the window would face me for that front on view, and he did! I was too excited to get home and upload the photos to see what they were like, it was then that I realised I might have a new favourite thing. Читать дальше...

IC: “If you are so smart, why aren’t you rich?”

Of all of the retarded sayings of the Moronican retards, that is one of the stupidest of all.

It also shows that the only true religion of Americans is money. Americans worship money. Forget all that Christianity crap. Americans worship money far more than they worship God or Jesus.

That’s not a good thing to say about someone. To say about a country that the one thing they value above all other things is money is not a compliment. Читать дальше...

This summer season I have chosen to keep my seasonal styling simplewith a wind of a  coastal breezes.
Air plants are even abundant in my decor right nowbecause I love the sculptural swirling contrast they provide.Especially mixed in with my unusual floral picks.
My air plants are thriving these days since  I found out that they do best when submerged in water once a week.I'm shocked my first ones  survived as s well as they did since I only misted them once a week before.

Living in a city with 2.7 million people can be stressful, to put it mildly. We’re constantly on the go, fixated on our screens, wearing multiple hats at our jobs, and just plainly, trying to keep our heads above water.

Based on my years of experience as a new business advisor, I always find leadership to be more important to business success than any new technology or innovative solution. The challenge is to adequately define leadership in terms of everyday activities. Most entrepreneurs believe they are leaders, even though the feedback I get from their team and partners may indicate otherwise.

Kent RO launches Kent Noodle and Pasta Maker. The machine is quite sturdy, unique, advanced, and innovative. In fact, after going through its exhaustive demo at their head office in Noida, it seems to be a must-have device for every Indian kitchen. Because it is not only noodle and pasta maker. It has a number of other important functionalities that every woman dreams of. Probably it is a dream cum true ...

MK Uri Maklev (UTJ) discovered that the Electric Company has been doing repair work on one of their power stations for the past 6 weeks and that this week employees were instructed to prepare to work on Shabbos.

Maklev did what he does, and the EC agreed to cancel the work orders and chilul shabbos was avoided.

The Electric Company's only mistake was that they did not schedule this work to be done on the Shabbos right before Lag bOmer. Had they done so, nobody would have cared.

Well, the SOB did it. Tommy Mesereau was able to work a plea that spared Dani Mathers jail time in her invasion of privacy case. For those of you just joining us, Dani is a former Playboy centerfold who took a photo of a naked 70-year-old lady without her consent as she changed in the LA Fitness locker rooms. Dani then posted it to Snapchat with the caption, “If I can’t unsee this then neither can you”. Dani and her attorneys Tommy Mesereau, who successfully defended Michael Jackson in his child abuse cases... Читать дальше...

Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) are the infections in any part of the urinary system-kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Most of the infections involve the lower urinary tract i.e. in the bladder and in the urethra. Women are more susceptible to these infections rather than men. Infection which is limited to bladder is painful but serious consequences can occur if UTI spreads to kidneys.

Yesterday was the worst. I realize that we live in a global society, and the rest of the world is paying attention to what happens within America, and of course I realized that the rest of the world was appalled by everything involving Emperor Bigly. But it’s one thing to know all of that intellectually, and then see our American Emperor berate our closest allies in the middle of a huge, international summit. I am appalled, embarrassed and ashamed. Donald Trump is disgusting. Читать дальше...

Mariah Carey has never had a reputation for being a complete professional. When she’s getting paid, she’ll show up… if someone carries her. She’s reportedly always late to everything. She’s often too busy posing to actually sing or speak or interact with anyone. The one time I defended her recently was when she got majorly screwed over on New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, where it seemed like everyone on the production staff pulled a Mariah and half-assed their jobs, and that made Mariah look terrible too.

Landlords call for help as tenants can go almost a year without having to pay rent due to lengthy eviction process

Tenants are able to live rent-free for up to almost year if they're in dispute with their landlord about moving out, experts have warned.

Strict laws about evicting a tenant means it can take weeks, if not months, for a landlord to repossess a property.

Arla Propertymark, the industry body for the lettings agency, described the... Читать дальше...

Add this to the “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” file. ABC’s semi-musical remake of the 80s favorite Dirty Dancing, which aired Wednesday night, was savaged by critics and fans of the original movie, who were more than happy to let their feelings about the 3-hour televised torture session be known on social media.
ABC’s first (and hopefully last) foray into the televised musical genre replaced Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze with Abigail Breslin and Cole Prattes... Читать дальше...
