“I don’t have any problem with going to Europe, but I prefer the United States, and I prefer seeing the regular parts of the United States,” Thomas said in a recent interview for a documentary about his life, which Crow helped finance. In this documentary about the justice, he waxes nostalgic about his fondness for Walmart parking lots: /39kGMRJLrO- ProPublica April 6, 2023 ProPublica notes that such luxury vacations don’t fit Justice Thomas’s effort to portray himself in a documentary financed by Crow as a regular guy who’d park his RV at Walmart:Ģ/ Thomas has publicly presented himself as an everyman with modest tastes. The extent and frequency of Crow’s apparent gifts to Thomas have no known precedent in the modern history of the U.S. And Thomas typically spends about a week every summer at Crow’s private resort in the Adirondacks. He has gone with Crow to the Bohemian Grove, the exclusive California all-male retreat, and to Crow’s sprawling ranch in East Texas. He flies on Crow’s Bombardier Global 5000 jet. A public servant who has a salary of $285,000, he has vacationed on Crow’s superyacht around the globe. If Thomas had chartered the plane and the 162-foot yacht himself, the total cost of the trip could have exceeded $500,000.įortunately for him, that wasn’t necessary: He was on vacation with real estate magnate and Republican megadonor Harlan Crow, who owned the jet - and the yacht, too.įor more than two decades, Thomas has accepted luxury trips virtually every year from the Dallas businessman without disclosing them, documents and interviews show.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, - “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

He traced the bullet to a gun from a gang called The Bridgetown Clique headed by a goon named Johnny O. Surprisingly, Mel and Harry got the bullet in lockup to Robyn.

Here’s what you missed! McCall helps a mob accountant, Bert Singer ( Josh Cooke), scour the city for a lost ledger of evidence he must provide to the FBI in exchange for entrance into the Federal Witness Protection Program. The episode is called " Somewhere Over the Hudson" and the official synopsis read like this: What can we expect from tonight's episode? It can shape and transform into whatever is needed at any given time. There is a similarity here to another CBS show on Magnum PI in the way that there can be a chameleon "esque" aspect to every story. Some episodes are action-packed, some are dramatic, and some are even light-hearted at times. They make sure that there is no hard and fast formula where there is a kill or a similar fight from one week to the next. These gases, which occur naturally in the atmosphere, include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxide, and fluorinated gases sometimes known as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). The greenhouse effect happens when certain gases-known as greenhouse gases-collect in Earth’s atmosphere. The Greenhouse Effect Human activities contribute to global warming by increasing the greenhouse effect. The IPCC states that most of the temperature increase since the mid-20th century is likely due to human activities. The IPCC also found that land regions are warming faster than oceans. The increase is greater in northern latitudes. According to the IPCC’s most recent report (in 2007), Earth’s average surface temperatures have risen about 0.74 degrees Celsius (1.33 degrees Fahrenheit) during the past 100 years. The IPCC evaluates the risk of climate change caused by human activities. This Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) includes thousands of scientists who review the most up-to-date research available related to global warming and climate change. In 1988, the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme established a committee of climatologists, meteorologists, geographers, and other scientists from around the world. Scientists worry that the climate is changing faster than some living things can adapt to it. Natural cycles of warming and cooling are not enough to explain the amount of warming we have experienced in such a short time-only human activities can account for it. However, the recent warming trend is happening much faster than it ever has. Past changes in Earth’s temperature happened very slowly, over hundreds of thousands of years. It has also gone through warm periods when temperatures were higher than they are today. Our planet has gone through multiple ice ages, in which ice sheets and glaciers covered large portions of Earth. Global warming is often described as the most recent example of climate change. Global warming describes the current rise in the average temperature of Earth’s air and oceans.

The name of the artist or manufacturer may now be used for this.Jewellery Making Materials for Professionals and Beginners US law requires a maker's mark in the form of a hallmark or registered trademark in addition to the quality mark if the goods are quality marked.Many tourists in the US (and international online shoppers) will question goods sold without markings that indicate precious-metal quality. Some European countries do require marking.US law does not require precious metal to be marked with a quality stamp.Sterling silver must be at least 92.5% silver.Update: US law now does allow the maker's name in place of a formally registered trademark or hallmark! This satisfies the accountability at the heart of the US stamping act. Users of finished jewelry, however, can choose to attach a mark to the finished piece (for example on a chain tab). Findings and components, for example are often not quality stamped. Furthermore, the sizes or designs of some pieces do not lend themselves to quality markings. Small-time artists and Native American silversmiths rarely trademark their work. Makers may choose to not spend so much money for a formal hallmark. For one thing, registering a trademark costs over $1,000. A devious manufacturer could mark a piece 18kt when, in fact, it was 10kt and worth one-third less on gold content alone.įor many reasons, not all silver jewelry is marked. This accountability is particularly important in gold jewelry. If there is ever a question about the content of a piece of jewelry, the manufacturer can be traced using the hallmark stamped on the piece. However, if a quality mark is used, the mark must be accompanied by a manufacturer's hallmark that is a registered trademark or the name of the manufacturer. In the USA, The National Gold and Silver Marketing Act does not require precious metals to be marked with quality. When testing suspect goods, a small file can be used to cut through any plating or lacquer in a discreet area on the item. Silver-plated brass, nickel silver or low quality silver alloys will turn green when a drop of nitric acid is applied, because of the high copper content. Some countries require jewelry made of precious metal be submitted to a governmental assay office for destructive testing before being marked and sold. In many countries, precious metal must be stamped with a quality mark such as "925" for sterling. "German Silver," "Alpacca," and "Alpaca" are merely other names for the alloy of copper, nickel and zinc usually called " nickel silver." Despite the name, nickel silver contains no silver. "Mexican Silver," "German Silver," "Indian Silver," "Montana Silver" and simply "silver" do not guarantee any silver content. "Coin" silver is used in some countries and could be marked "900" or "800" depending on fineness. Sterling components and jewelry made in the USA are often stamped "sterling." Goods made for international trade are often marked "925" indicating the 92.5% fineness. Fine silver can be fused! (Sterling silver requires solder fine silver can be joined with just heat, no solder required.)

So what about probably the most common cause of hormonal fluctuations: pregnancy? Yes, pregnancy can cause skin tags. So, as we’ve already established, hormonal changes can instigate rapid growth of skin tags. Hormonal Fluctuations Associated with Pregnancy While studies are uncertain as to the exact link between estrogen and skin tags, it is a short leap to think that perhaps it can have an impact on this skin condition. This makes the skin more oily, less elastic, and less strong. As we get older, the body produces less and less estrogen, particularly in women. Another hormone which is already known to affect the skin is estrogen.This seems to suggest that producing more of the hormone promotes skin tag growth. They found that the people who they studied who had skin tags produced far more of this hormone. One study by Egyptian dermatologists found that leptin may be related to the development of insulin resistance. And studies have shown that it may be linked to skin tag production. Problems like obesity can both cause difficulty in regulating this hormone. Leptin is known as the ‘ satiety hormone’- or in plain English, the hormone that makes you feel full. Leptin, for example, is one hormone suspected of playing a role.Let’s examine some of the ways hormones are supposed to do that. Why? Because obesity, pregnancy and age point to the role those bodily changes seem to play in encouraging skin tag growth. That’s why hormonal fluctuations have been suggested as one of the reasons for skin tags near the eyes. Everything from how you feel, to how you behave is defined by hormones. Your body’s use of hormones is central to your day-to-day existence. Friction might be causing skin tags in this area. This skin is always moving as we blink, look around, read, smile, and so on. The area around the eyes is affected by friction, particularly the area around the eyelids. This explains why little skin tags under the eyes are such a common skin complaint. That’s why they’re often found under the armpit, on the neck, and so on. They frequently appear on the body where there is likely to be a lot of skin-on-skin friction. The location of skin tags tells us a lot about why they form. The situation is made worse if the area is moist and sweaty, it seems. One of these factors is friction: that could be skin rubbing against skin, against jewelry, or against clothing. The first thing you should know is that while several factors can cause eye skin tags, the mechanism by which they occur is unclear.īut we have identified certain things which are widely known to cause them. Skin Rubbing Against Skin, Jewelry, and Clothing You’ll likely realize that there’s more than one cause. Scientists are not certain why some factors cause skin tags. You know how to identify them, but what are the causes? Why do some people get skin tags, but others don’t? And is there anything that you can do on how to prevent skin tags?Īs it turns out, there are many common causes of skin tags. What Are the Causes of Skin Tags around the Eyes? Or you might have a skin tag on your eyelash line or eyelid rim. You may have white skin tags near eyes or flat skin tags under the eyes. Skin tags close to eyes come in many shapes and sizes. They are usually 2mm – 5mm but can grow much larger. They react to pressure or pinching in the same way as the rest of your skin. If you have a cluster of growths, they are more likely to be warts. They protrude from the skin on a narrow stalk. They aren’t crusty or rough in any way, but the texture can change if they become irritated or infected. They feel no different to the skin around them. This brief checklist will help you to make an accurate self-diagnosis: You might also have a wart – these are commonly confused with skin tags. If you’ve never had any skin tags before, or haven’t seen one, you might not know how to identify a skin tag. How to Identify Skin Tags Close to the Eyesĭo I have skin tags? There are many bumps that appear around the eyes. We’ll then look at the causes of the skin tags on the eyelids (and near the eyes), and some removal methods that work well. In this guide, we’ll be looking at how to identify skin tags. The good news is that you can remove skin tags around the eyes at home (or get them removed by a doctor). Or it could be a mixture of different reasons, depending on your genetics, weight, health, lifestyle choices, hormones, age, and much more. Scientists have several ideas of their causes, and one of them could apply to you. In other words, they are easy for others to see when you’re standing close to someone. They often appear on the face, such as close to the eyes, the eyelash line, and the rims of the eyelids. Skin tags by the eyes can make you feel self-conscious.

For commuting, visiting friends, light touring and weekends away, nothing gets you there quicker and cooler. We might never know the real story behind Bianchi Celeste, but it will certainly keep inspiring stories and myths and continue to be the most recognizable color in the peloton and the cycling industry.About this product The E-spillo Luxury is designed to make your everyday life easier in every way. In the 1980s, Bianchi even considered discontinuing the color, calling it “ugly,” but gave up on the idea after polls showed that riders loved it and wanted to keep it. Interestingly, Bianchi Celeste has changed multiple times over the years, sometimes leaning more toward green and other times more toward blue. If this is true, it has definitely succeeded. Most bicycles at the time were painted black, so the peloton looked boring and uniform. The real truth could be that Bianchi just wanted to stand out from the pack. The problem with this idea is that the first mentions of the color date back to 1912, before the war had even started. Allegedly, Bianchi combined these two colors to deliver its iconic Celeste shade. Another more pragmatic theory claims that the color was created out of necessity, due to a surplus of light blue and white military paint after World War I.In Italian, Celeste roughly translates to “sky blue.”
