The Federal Aviation Administrationapproved the use of iPads in the cockpit in a test project -- which could mean it's paving the way for iPad use in commercial airlines. Delta Air Lines is already seeking approval to use iPads as early as next quarter.
The iPad is being used to display navigational charts for some pilots on charter planes -- which could mean the end of traditional paper maps in the cockpit, according to Bloomberg News. While the test project is only approved for Executive Jet Management, commercial airlines, like Delta are already anticipating changes.
Currently, each commercial jet has a flight bag carrying an 18-pound computer which provides digital maps and other flight information. An iPad, on the other hands, weighs a little more than a pound.
If the FAA approves the iPad in commercial flights, Apple's enterprise market will explode. Unlike other office devices, Apple's iPad could become the tool of the highly technical -- hospitals, airlines and anywhere vast inventory needs to be accessed remotely in a lightweight case.

Thanks to our summer intern, Laura Museau, for learning Jack's lesson for a happy old age, and sharing it in this guest blog!
It is said that experience teaches wisdom. During my time with the Risk and Resiliency Internship Project, I had the good fortune to have been taught wisdom by listening to the experiences of older adults. The Legacy Project interviews that I conducted this summer contain valuable information that will be useful as I journey into adulthood. One of the key themes discussed by those I interviewed highlighted using passion as a guiding force in life. Passion can make the difference between living a life filled with regrets and one of contentment. For even if accomplishments fall short, the heart's desires have been satisfied.
The thoughts that Jack Bronsen, a writer from southern California, shared with me expressed this best. He was clear that having something that he is passionate about has been the critical factor in having a good quality of life in older age:
At the end of your life or in the latest years is when you look back and you assess what was important. I was passionate about my work. I still am. I did a specialized type of drawing, still doing it, for almost 60 years: making India ink drawings of inventions for patent attorneys around the country. I loved to play golf. I still do even though I'm in my 80th year. I don't do it very well but I still do it twice a week and I do walk a full course.
I love to write. I've written 3 novels and quite a bit more as a restaurant reviewer and newspaper columnist. I'm also passionate about acrostic puzzles which I love to do. I do the New York Times one every other week on Sunday.
My father loved his work. He worked until he was 82. Then he retired and he watched television all day. He went straight down hill. And the same basically happened to my mother who lived to that same fine age of 91 but did not seem to have any real passions. And they both kind of faded away mentally and that would be my concern: that if I let go of my passion, I let go of my mind, of my life.
He emphatically stated that each person should "have something you are passionate about. All through your life. Not a person, but something that you do yourself that you love to do.

"Life Itself" takes its title from a college paper about unreliable narrators in fiction. Its author, Abby (Olivia Wilde), lost her parents at a young age, and now her foremost personality traits involve monologuing about Bob Dylan, eating "any kind of sushi" and agreeing to marry a hunk named Will (Oscar Isaac) after they've dated for less than a year.
Abby's professor didn't like her thesis, more personal essay than literary criticism. Arguing that our inability to retain accurate memories renders all storytellers untrustworthy, Abby ― seduced by her own cutesy wordplay ― wrote, "The only truly reliable narrator is life itself."
As the saying goes, hoo boy.
The only truly reliable thing about "Life Itself" is that, despite a premise built on surprise, little of it is surprising. The movie's calling card, as seen in the first 30 seconds of the trailer, tells us all we need to know: It comes "from the creator of 'This Is Us,'" a show engineered to provoke more waterworks than a rainstorm. Dan Fogelman's weekly melodrama is a cultural sensation, which is probably why he opted to borrow its time-hopping, intergenerational theatrics for this 118-minute soap opera, which hovers somewhere between trauma porn and self-help bunkum.
Technically, almost anything I say about the plot of "Life Itself" constitutes a spoiler. You, gentle reader, are meant to wonder what connection an olive harvester in Spain (Antonio Banderas) could possibly have to a rebellious 21-year-old punk rocker in New York City (Olivia Cooke), and how Abby and Will's frat-party introduction set these globetrotting junctions in motion, and why Will now imagines his therapist (Annette Bening) getting mauled by a bus.
If chance encounters are the story's sweet fulcrum, then fatal and near-fatal vehicle collisions are its demented unifying force. That and PB&J sandwiches. Isn't life beautiful?
"Life Itself," which premiered at the ongoing Toronto International Film Festival and opens in theaters Sept. 21, posits tragedy as some great destiny maker. "No one knows where their story is going," one character declares at the end, attempting to prove that her fortitude is a result of hardships inherited from her parents, who met at a literal and figurative crossroads. The movie wants to be about finding strength in misfortune; instead, it is an exercise in peddling misfortune for dramatic vigor ― pathos designed to manipulate its audience with a sensitive score that instructs you when to cry, and just how hard.
Should you succumb, you will be forgiven. But repent quickly, before you, too, start spouting hollow proverbs about how overcoming adversity makes life itself worth living. Life! It's so dynamic!
Fogelman's film begins in the present day, with a disheveled Will causing a commotion as he pours two whiskey shots into his Starbucks coffee and asks the barista if he wants a Xanax. He is 35 and "not well ― but you don't need me to tell you that," Samuel L. Jackson announces in a performatively self-aware voice-over, prompting an obvious question: So why did you just tell me?
Through a series of therapy sessions and morose banalities, Will's memories glide in and out of his now-dissolved relationship with Abby. At first, the flashbacks are slices of romantic heaven: bedroom banter, drunken meet-cutes, afternoon strolls. And then, steadily, Will chips away at his recollections, revealing the imperfections he'd dismissed. The first half of the movie, in fact, spends a lot of time challenging Will's stability, sometimes by repeating scenes from alternate vantages ― a fleetingly clever and intermittently humorous conceit that would be a lot more meaningful if the movie's second half didn't meander through the Spanish countryside in desperate search of anything that will make us swoon.
Indeed, we spend a painfully long time at that handsome olive grove before any sort of connective tissue is introduced. When it is, the narrative boils down to this: A family (played by the likes of Laia Costa and Sergio Peris-Mencheta) takes a trip to America ― the one thing their young son desperately wants ― and tragedy ensues. (This may be a vague spoiler, and for that I am vaguely sorry. Life is tough! We shall overcome!) With time, they, too, will be healed, more or less, because all they had to realize was that they did not know where their story was going. Or something.
Here again, "Life Itself" is designed so that I cannot tell you just how cloying the plot is. It's constructed to ensure I betray no specifics, much in the way that "This Is Us" is built to generate headlines about much-anticipated deaths that include the words "shocking," "gut-wrenching" and "tragic." All this movie wants is to seize those adjectives alongside a few beatific badges like "life-affirming" or "sanguine" or "not nearly as fun to mock as 'Collateral Beauty' was."
By the end, it's possible that even "This Is Us" apostles won't accept their cathartic cries with such cheaply woven fabric.
Fogelman has proven himself a skilled screenwriter ("Crazy, Stupid, Love," "Tangled") and competent director ("Danny Collins") with a penchant for redemption stories. But he appears to be high on the "This Is Us" crack pipe. That show's tagline is "This is real. This is love. This is life." This movie's tagline is "Life will surprise you." A person could drown in all these platitudes, especially since "Life Itself" is doused with all the hallmarks of hardship. Dogs die, girls get molested, mothers are ransacked by cancer, a therapist has never heard of Natalie Portman. But life? It's still a treasure.
If you knew where this story was going, well, you'd never press play in the first place.

If you follow me on Twitter (which you should), you'll see me tweet out a lot of new polls. But I rarely write daily updated articles here about the movement of the polls. Why?
It's not that this isn't a worthy cause. There are plenty of people who write pearls of wisdom on each new set of polling data. Rather, it's because I don't want to spend my time saying the same thing over and over again.
There are certain years where the polls bounce up and down, and we really don't know what's going to happen. In 2000, the polls were quite bouncy, and we saw a Gore lead give way to a Bush lead – and vice versa, more times than I can count. In 2004, John Kerry held a lead in the pivotal state of Ohio as late as 20 days into the month of October, before Bush regained an edge he never lost.
Then there are other years where the polls are fairly static. The outcome of the 1992, 1996 and 2008 campaigns were fairly clear by October. The Democratic candidate was going to win, and by a fairly comfortable margin.
This year, the national polls have indicated a fairly tight race, yet in the states – where the election will be lost and won – polls denote a race that is more stable than A-Rod's lack of clutch in the post-season.
Check out this chart from HuffPollster tracking the latest data from state to rule all others Ohio:
You see the race tighten after the first debate, but since that initial tightening, there has been no change. There are no signs of any "Romneymentum". There's no sign of anything happening at all. President Obama has held a lead of about 2.5 points for about a month now.
If Romney doesn't take Ohio, then his next best hope is to put together a coalition of other states anchored by Wisconsin. The problem for Romney is that Wisconsin looks exactly the same as Ohio.
Obama has held a 4-point lead since the first debate, and that hasn't changed over the last month. The Real Clear Politics average has the race a little closer to 3 points, but the conclusion of a steady Obama lead is the same.
If Mitt Romney doesn't take Ohio or Wisconsin, then the only other option is Nevada. If you believe the HuffPollster aggregate, then it's actually Obama who has slowly expanded his lead, after Romney's initial first debate bump.
Put another way: Romney has no path if you believe the polling aggregates are accurate. It was the same conclusion I came to last week, the week before last and the week before that. Anyone who says they see either Obama or Romney gaining ground in the states (save Nevada) is selling you a sack of nothing.
Thus, the only way Romney can win is if the average of the polls is wrong. Mark Blumenthal over at HuffPollster is going to do a whole series on what could go wrong with the polls, and I invite you to read his thoughts if you want to get into the nitty-gritty.
Still, let me outline three possible reasons that the aggregates might not be telling the whole truth.
First, averages do occasionally get a race wrong – usually, one per cycle. It could be that Ohio is the state where the polls are wrong this time around – although I have my doubts, because usually, the state that is incorrectly called is one where the polling average is within 1 point, such as Colorado or Virginia are this time around.
The exact odds that it is Ohio might be higher than I have thought, though. Simon Jackman utilized historical data, and if we factor in a lot of uncertainty in the polls, he still has Obama as a 2:1 favorite in Ohio and, thus, the electoral college. This two-thirds chance is almost certainly under-confident, but it's not insane to think a Romney reversal could happen.
Second, there does seem to be a bit of an unequal distribution in the polling in Ohio. Whether if it's because of random error or different turnout models, my friend Jay Cost argues that there are two peaks in the Ohio polls. One peak shows that Obama will win Ohio by 4 or more points and the other has a tied race. In other words, the average isn't a useful measure.
I was initially skeptical of Jay's argument. My own examination of all the data suggests that there does seem to be a peak at around a 2- to 2.5-point Obama lead in Ohio. When I looked back at 2008 data, however, the distribution was more normal. That is, the average point was a convergence of the majority of the data. This year, it does seem to be spread out in its peaks.
Third, Rasmussen Reports is correct and pretty much everyone else is wrong. As discussed earlier, the only pollster in the past few weeks to have Romney ahead in Ohio and tied in Wisconsin is Rasmussen. Rasmussen has had some years, like 2004 and 2006, when they were among the best. They also had 2010, when they were way off.
There's always the chance an outlier like Rasmussen sees something others miss. There's a better chance, though, that the outlier is wrong.
All of this is to say that you shouldn't anticipate much in the way of presidential horserace coverage from me in the next few days. There's pretty much no chance the polls will change outside a last-minute scandal. Either the surveys are either right in projecting President Obama's re-election, or the story will be how wrong they were. We'll find out which soon enough.

If your eyes are suddenly itchy and you're rubbing them a lot, it's probably allergies.
Check pollen count in your area at http://www.aaaai.org/global/nab-pollen-counts.aspx
Below is a Symptom Checklist to tell the difference between allergies and a cold.
Itchy Eyes
Itchy Nose
Itchy Throat
Headache Behind Eyes
Onset Immediate
Sometimes Fatigue
No Fever
Doesn't Go Away
Sometimes Fever
No Itchy Eyes
Achy Body
Comes on Slowly
Yellow or Green Mucus if Nose is Runny
Last 5-10 Days (more than that could be a sinus infection, see doctor)
The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology says avoiding allergy triggers is the best way to reduce symptoms. Here's how:
- Limit outdoor activities during days with high pollen counts.
- Keep windows closed (at home or in the car) to keep pollens out.
- Take a shower after coming indoors. Otherwise, pollen in your hair may bother you all night.4. Wear sunglasses to keep pollen from getting in your eyes.
5. Keep pets away from plants and trees (good luck with THAT).
…and there's always over-the-counter help.
COLDS: Drink lots of fluids, get lots of rest, lozengers if your throat is sore, chicken soup, TLC and wait it out, over-the-counter help if it's bad. See a physician if it lasts more than 10-days. A sinus infection will require antibiotics.

Ensemble Stars On Stage!! Review
We just returned from seeing Ensemble Stars On Stage, and it was a complete delight! Here are a few preliminary thoughts to get you all excited for the DVD to come out. Hopefully, we'll be back here soon to see the rest of the main story, and hopefully, there will be more cast announcements soon!
Stage: The stage was pretty barren as far as set was concerned; it was just a couple of platforms in front of a big projection screen, and stairs to either side. That makes it all the more impressive how much they were able to accomplish! Sometimes during songs the projection screen was just fun little sunbursts and stuff, but sometimes it was words that the audience could cheer along with. JoyfulBox in particular had a lot of this.
The Actors:
Akehoshi Subaru: Ozawa Ren is a consummate professional who brings a joy and intensity to every role he plays, in Daiya no Ace and Hakuouki, and he did no less here. Subaru's enthusiasm really shone through with Ren's patented charm, and his spirited defense of Shino Hajime left no dry eyes in the audience (mine included!).
Hidaka Hokuto: Yamamoto Ikkei was at his best in this role. He's performed a multitude of times before, in serious theater as well as Anime on Stage roles, but in my opinion he really shone brightly here. His unexpected softness when talking about his grandmother, his intense passion, and above all his struggle to fit in with Trickstar's manzai act of Makoto and Subaru was delightful. He's also probably the most talented singer/dancer onstage. Trust me, you won't be able to keep your eyes off of him.
Makoto Yuuki: Matsumura Taiichirou did a very good job as Makoto! He was hilarious in every interaction with Subaru, and got away with some very funny hijinks of impersonating Rei. His two best scenes are with Koga "training" the heck out of him, chasing him around the stage forcing him to perform physical feats, and with Izumi, where he's a very appropriate blend of terrified, confused, and frustrated. You have to see their chemistry to believe it!
Isara Mao: Tanimizu Riki may be new on the scene, but he won't be an unfamiliar face for long. His role in the beginning of the story is really beefed up, with his part as the Mole on the student council being emphasized. Since they didn't cast Touri, Mao's treachery to Keito is much more obvious. I hope he gets more to do when they do another run, since hopefully they'll cast Ritsu then!
Sakuma Rei: It has become a running joke between us that we have no idea if any members of UNDEAD were good singers or not because they were all so distractingly hot. Kominami Koji is the biggest culprit here, stealing hearts with every move of his long, long legs. His deadpan snark was also on point, but honestly, I can't remember anything else, I was too distracted by how hot he was.
Oogami Koga: Akazawa Ryotarou was a hilarious, fun, genuine, and energetic Koga, bringing a lot of heart to the Light Music Club and UNDEAD–even if he spent a good portion of it tied up and gagged! He has excellent comedic timing, and used it to the best of his ability to squeeze a load of laughs out of the audience. And of course, his hair looked VERY fluffy being petted! 😉
Hakaze Kaoru: Tomohiro Okutani didn't have too much to do plot-wise, but he was absolutely sexy as Kaoru, putting his leather pants to good use, as all of UNDEAD used their mic stands basically like stripper poles. I can't stress enough how little I remember of whether UNDEAD can sing. I think he sounded good?
Otogari Adonis: Akira was hilarious as Adonis, and had a very memorable scene with Koga, Makoto, and a few bags of meat (and bananas). I'm fairly certain he had the best singing voice in UNDEAD, certainly the deepest one. I can't wait to see more of him!
Hasumi Keito: I'm personally offended that I've never heard of Komatsu Junya before, because I could have spent my time watching him. He was stunning, moving sinfully well in high black lace-up boots with heels, and was a phenomenal singer and dancer, leading Akatsuki well enough that you can really see how they hold such a highly-regarded rank in Yumenosaki.
Kanzaki Souma: Higuchi Yuta was SO funny as Souma! He was very quick to draw his sword, of course, and to lash out at any perceived insult to himself or to his unit, and especially to try to commit seppuku. But when he was onstage with Akatsuki, the game was on–he was incredible with both fan and sword in his dances, and so adorably short!
Kuro Kiryuu: Ueda Kandai was definitely cast because he has the perfect body type for Kuro. He was very impressive-looking onstage, and executed all of his dance moves perfectly. The cutest bits were his interactions with Tetora, up to and including inviting Tetora to bow with Akatsuki at the end!
Nagumo Tetora: I haven't seen Konishi Seiya since his turn as Fuji Yuuta in Tenimyu, but he was SO impressive as Tetora! He performed "Meteor Rangers" entirely by himself, doing the work of five super sentai rangers as one, in a performance that I'm sure would have made Chiaki very proud. His interactions with Kuro were golden, and his bouts as the emcee of the Dragon challenge were perfect.
Shino Hajime: Keep an eye on Sakurai Keito–he's going places! He brought the house down in Joyful Box, enough that there wasn't a dry eye in the house, and performed the whole song by himself. I hope he gets some backup in the next show, since he was wonderful!
Aoi Yuuta & Aoi Hinata: The Aoi twins were perfect–probably the best singers in the whole stage, they stole every scene they were in. One of their most adorable traits was jumping to attention whenever Rei called, "Aoitachi!" and saluting, or tormenting Koga when he's tied up and blaming each other for it when he turns around. They were great dancers, and sound exactly like Souma Saito when they talk or sing. And speaking of vocals…
Narukami Arashi: It should be no surprise that Kitamura Ryou brought the house down as Arashi. I've seen him live multiple times in different roles (Toudou Jinpachi in Yowamushi Pedal, Kija in Akatsuki no Yona, Yagen in the Touken Ranbu stage), but this is by far my favorite role I've ever seen him in. He truly embodied the flirty, fun, sassy aspects of Arashi, and was always there to keep Izumi in line. Here's hoping he'll have more to do besides commentary in the next one!
Sena Izumi: Takasaki Shota is one of the biggest stage chameleons I've had the pleasure to see. He's always different in his roles, but always on-point as well, and this time was no exception. He brought a heart and an unbalanced frustrated affection to Izumi that could warm any heart to this boy. Also, now we know that Izumi cheats at chess.
Plot: The plot follows the main story of Ensemble Stars pretty closely, with the removal of Anzu/the transfer student/the producer. It goes from the first time Trickstar starts planning in earnest to defeat the student council through their first victory against Akatsuki (and UNDEAD, who is secretly mentoring Trickstar). If you aren't caught up that far on the story yet, check out the manga; it runs through that part at least!
All in all, I can't wait until the DVD comes out in September. I'm planning to watch it over and over again, and I hope everyone enjoys it!

Dallas Cowboys owner shouldn't give Jason Garrett free pass after going 4-9
My favorite Jason Garrett story actually involves his dad.
Jim Garrett, now 85 years young, was a scout for the Dallas Cowboys for 17 years. But before that he was a coach — sometimes a college head coach — for more than 25 seasons.
The elder Garrett was an assistant in 1977 on Hank Stram's Saints staff at New Orleans.
The Saints trained in those days at the storied Dodgertown complex in Vero Beach, Fla., where entertainment options, shall we say, were limited. There was no Bourbon Street in Vero Beach.
One night the beat writers and assistant PR guy, the great Greg Suit, were driving back to the complex when we noticed two sets of startlingly white legs, draped in plaid Bermuda shorts, walking on the side of the two-lane beach road.
It was Garrett and fellow assistant coach Sam Rutigliano. They had been at a movie. We pulled over and squeezed them into our rental car.
"How was the movie?" someone asked.
"Terrible," Rutigliano said.
"Awful," Garrett concurred. "Totally unrealistic."
The movie they had seen?
Star Wars. The original.
The world is, indeed, a flat circle, just as Matthew McConaughey said. A new Star Wars hits the movie screens today, and the Garrett family is still coming to grips with the reality.
In this case, the realities of a 4-9 season and, quite likely, no playoffs. As head coach of the Cowboys, Jason Garrett should be aghast at the ledger of his team in the absence of Tony Romo.
True, injury excuses abound. But the seven-game losing streak and the glaring fallibility of the NFC East only serve to underscore the team's disappointing performance.
Somebody will lose their job over this. Owner Jones has hinted as much.
Offensive line assistant Frank Pollack seemingly is being set up to be one of the fall guys. But is Garrett himself really safe? And if so, why?
In a story on these pages Thursday, colleague Clarence Hill deftly laid out the bleak statistical realities of the Cowboys' "struggling, punchless offense" —31st in the league in touchdowns.
As an NFL writer from elsewhere in the NFC East asked me last weekend, how did this happen?
"I thought Garrett's thing was supposed to be offense," the writer said.
Me, too. That was why Jerry Jones thrust him upon Wade Phillips as a high-paid assistant in 2007. That was why Jones found it easy to promote him when Wade started the 2010 season 1-7.
Four years later, however, Owner Jones saw fit to hire Scott Linehan to call the plays as offensive coordinator, freeing Garrett to work on his sideline head coaching demeanor.
And how has all that worked out?
In Garrett's defense, the Cowboys have played hard throughout this 2015 debacle, which probably isn't easy when your predicted contender is laying a 4-9 egg.
But all mea culpas from Jones to the contrary, it would be uncharacteristic of Jerry to let the blame fall upon him. This, remember, is the owner who was so stubborn, he hired Barry Switzer.
In New Orleans these days, there are whispered suggestions that head coach Sean Payton would be accommodated if he wants out. Payton has denied any such plans.
But if, at age 73, Owner Jones wants a quick fix, who should he trust in, a Super Bowl-winning coach, or the one who couldn't win the worst division in football?
The buyout on Garrett's remaining contract would likely be hefty. But when a Super Bowl and a 73-year-old owner are concerned, it's only money.
In the end, every head coach — except for one — that Owner Jones has ever dismissed was fired for not winning enough.
That should be the reality of Jason Garrett's situation as well.
May the Force be with you, coach. You might need it.

Vicente del Bosque, Spain coach
I think that it was an excellent performance from both teams, who proved they are right at the top of the European game. Italy were better than us for the whole first period when, via [Antonio] Candreva and [Claudio] Marchisio, they put us in uncomfortable situations several times. We couldn't control the game properly and we looked very open. But, bit by bit, we got a second wind, improved after the interval and ended up being the better side come extra time. Then fortune went our way in the shoot-out, which put us through to a great final. We're enormously excited about taking on Brazil in the Maracana.
Cesare Prandelli, Italy coach
The lads played a great match, from the first minute to the last, and we created plenty of situations that could have won us the game, but once it goes to penalties anything can happen. Spain are currently ahead of us because they've been following the same ideology for years, whereas we're still forging our own path. This match has been a great test for us, no doubt about that, and we passed it despite the result. We were convinced about how we needed to play, in both technical and tactical terms, and I'm certain that we need to keep persevering. We proved that we have the quality to battle it out with the best.

I love a good film adaptation, but like a lot of readers, I tend to want to read the book first. That usually makes me even more excited to watch the film, although I am also more likely to be a bit more critical (but that's fine; I like being critical). When it's the other way around, however, meaning when I see the film first, I'm usually not very inclined to pick up the book afterward. That happened to me with Everything, Everything, for example.
Over the past couple of months, I read a couple of books mainly because I was excited to see the films: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Marie Ann Shaffer and Annie Burrows (wow, that's a mouthful), Room by Emma Donoghue and To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han
I thought it'd be fun to write a post comparing these books and films because I had very different reactions to all of them. It ranged from loving the book way more than the film, preferring the film over the book and thinking both were great in their own right.
So, let's get to it!

Update: April 2018
On March 23, 2018, after a multi-year advocacy effort, the Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act (the "CLOUD Act") was signed into law as part of omnibus legislation.
Passage of the CLOUD Act represents a milestone for digital privacy. U.S. privacy law now better reflects today's cloud computing technology—not the era of the floppy disc.
While the CLOUD Act advances digital privacy and provides important legal clarity, it also represents just one step in building a global data privacy framework. The U.S. must now enter into bilateral agreements with partner nations to protect privacy and strengthen law enforcement.
For additional insight into the CLOUD Act, please read "The CLOUD Act is an important step forward, but now more steps need to follow" by Microsoft President and Chief Legal Officer Brad Smith.
Voices for Innovation will continue to keep our members up to date about the progress of digital privacy policies.
Background: Microsoft Warrant Case
In a July 2016 U.S. Court of Appeals ruling in a case in which Microsoft challenged the U.S.'s request for private data held in Ireland, the three-judge appellate panel ruled that existing laws did not give U.S. law enforcement the authority to issue warrants extraterritorially. The court's decision underscored the "need for congressional action to revise a badly outdated [digital privacy] statute."
In January 2017, the Court of Appeals denied the government's request for an en banc rehearing, leaving the decision in place—and allowing the government to petition the U.S. Supreme Court. The U.S. Department of Justice then filed to have the case heard by the Supreme Court. In October, the Supreme Court granted the DOJ's request to review the case.
In January 2018, nearly 300 groups and individuals from 37 countries signed on to 23 amicus legal briefs that were filed with the U.S. Supreme Court to support Microsoft's position. Oral arguments were heard by the Supreme Court on February 27. Notably, Justices raised the need for Congress to update the law. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg observed, "All agree that in 1986 no one heard of the cloud…. Wouldn't it be wiser to let Congress regulate in this brave new world?"
On April 17, 2018, in light of passage of the CLOUD Act and motions from the DOJ and Microsoft, the Supreme Court dismissed the case, which was rendered moot by the CLOUD Act.
The CLOUD Act
The CLOUD Act represents an important step in addressing the digital privacy concerns of businesses and consumers while also enabling law enforcement to engage in actions that protect public safety. The CLOUD Act:
- Provides clear rules for U.S. government access to data stored abroad.
- Provides legal clarity that strengthens personal and business privacy protections for the cloud computing era.
- Strengthens trust in cloud computing in the U.S. and overseas.
- Encourages government-to-government cooperation to protect privacy while enabling law enforcement to pursue investigations.

What Experts, Analysts, and Lawmakers are Saying
"Customers want their rights protected by their own country's laws. Americans want that, citizens everywhere want that. So the fundamental challenge that we've been dealing with is concerns by other people that their rights are not being protected by laws when you have these extraterritorial warrants."
– Brad Smith, president, Microsoft
"If Congress does nothing, our antiquated laws will continue to spur international conflicts, impede law enforcement, and fail to protect Internet privacy."
– Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT)
"Implemented in 1986, years before the cloud was even invented, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) is outdated and ambiguous and proving harmful to the success of our business, the trust of our customers, and the ability of law enforcement to do their jobs effectively. Because of the ambiguities codified within this statute, companies providing cloud services are caught precariously between international legal jurisdictions."
– Jeff Hadfield, founder, 1564b
"Just how far around the world does a U.S. warrant reach? Obviously, it can't reach across borders without another country agreeing to respect the warrant. If warrants are issued to other countries, will that impact the way South Carolinians feel about the safety from federal government eyes on their emails, pictures and data stored in the "cloud?" When the government has a legitimate interest in seizing data for national security purposes, do they have a way to get that data today or do they need new tools? Are there ways to seize data that they have no right to see? All of these issues should be explored at the hearing."
– Steve Sherman, conservative commentator
"In order to accomplish this urgent requirement, it will require Congress taking the necessary legislative steps to allow it to happen… While we are starting with our closest ally, the framework may allow future expansion to other like-minded countries."
– Homeland Security Advisor Tom Bossert
"It is essential to ensure that legal safeguards are maintained when reforming an existing model of cooperation such as the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties. Otherwise, reform has the potential to weaken civil rights by seeking the lowest common denominator among systems."
– Susan Vergnolle, assistant professor, Pantheon-Sorbonne University

On Wednesday evening, the HBF and NHBC published their annual customer satisfaction survey for new home buyers across the country. The HBF in their release claim that the "overwhelming majority of buyers are happy with their new build home". However, in publishing these results on a Wednesday evening, when the news focus was squarely on Brexit the question springs to mind of whether all is really as positive as it seems. In fact, if we look behind the headline and examine the results of the survey what we see is that satisfaction with new homes is actually falling.
Staggeringly, the HBF survey found that 98% of buyers have reported a snag or defect with their new home to their builder:
With the average new build home in England costing £255,000[1] it should be a surprise that overwhelming majority of new home buyers are then experiencing problems.
Also shocking are the numbers of home buyers who have reported multiple problems to their builder, including 25% reporting 16 or more:
For us at Shelter these results are not news. Earlier this year, we asked new home buyers about their experiences, and over half reported major problems as a direct result of the construction of their home. While the NHBC's survey does not break down reported problems by severity, it's clear to see that new build homes aren't up to scratch – not just in a handful of isolated cases, but across the country.
Looking back over the results of previous years' surveys underlines that things are getting worse: Since 2012, for example, the number of respondents that are satisfied with the condition of their new build home has fallen by 10%. At the same time the numbers of respondents experiencing more than 6 problems with their home has increased by 13%.

These results further demonstrate that the speculative housebuilding model is failing us. Not only is it not providing enough homes, and particularly enough affordable homes, the homes that are being provided all too often aren't good enough. Despite this new build homes remain unaffordable for ordinary people and Shelter's analysis has shown that eight out of ten working, private renting families cannot afford a new build home in their area. What we have is a market that produces an expensive yet flawed product.
The falling levels of satisfaction with new build homes should be a cause for concern, and in most industries a clear fall in customer satisfaction would warrant immediate action. However, as we can see by the continuing decline, immediate action hasn't been taken. In fact, on the face of these results, rather than addressing the problem housebuilders are allowing it to get worse.
So why is this the case? Why is it that so many of the new homes we build aren't good enough?
We believe it's down to the business model we rely on in England to build our homes: speculative housebuilding. Under the speculative system, housebuilders compete at the point of buying land to build on. They calculate what they can afford to pay for land based on what they think they can build on it, and how much that can be sold for. The developer who makes the most aggressive assumptions of how low their costs will be and how much they will be able to sell homes for can offer the most for the land, and generally wins.
This means that things like affordability and quality are reduced because the developer has to make sure they meet their profit margin. In essence the system is rigged against ordinary families, with even those who can afford to buy a new home often experiencing problems.
We need to change this, and with New Civic Housebuilding Shelter have set out our vision for how to do this. We have shown that by bringing land into development at a fair price we can ensure that those core elements of affordability, appropriate infrastructure and quality of homes can be improved.
The failure of the last five years that is evidenced by this week's results serves to demonstrate that the current system isn't capable of addressing the problem. Without a shift away from speculative housebuilding we can't expect satisfaction or quality to improve.
Our New Civic Housebuilding model draws on examples from the past, including Edinburgh New Town, Bath, the Garden Cities and the post-War New Towns. These are places that remain popular and serve to demonstrate that a better model of development is possible – and the results of the HBF survey then underline that a better model is needed.

Judaism Unbound Episode 63: JewTube - Oona King
Oona King, former member of the British Parliament, currently on leave from the House of Lords, and now Director of Diverse Marketing at YouTube, takes us on a deep dive into the democratization that new internet-based technologies, like YouTube, potentially represent, and we discuss possible applications to the process of re-imagining Judaism.
(0:01 - 20:09): To begin the episode, Dan and Lex review the ongoing theme of the Omer period (the seven weeks from Passover until Shavuot) as a time for an increased openness to Jewish creativity. After this introduction, Dan continues as solo host (because the interview was conducted live on a trip Dan made to Silicon Valley), entering into conversation with Baroness Oona King. [1] They explore the extent to which YouTube represents a shift similar to the story of Jethro, in the book of Exodus, where more people are invited and empowered to take leadership of society. They also discuss King's work at YouTube to confront societal differences in the treatment of men and women. [2]
(20:10 - 35:57): King delves further into the topic of stereotypes, discussing the harmful role that they can play. In particular, she opens up about her own experiences as a target of antisemitism, [3] including how those experiences provoked her to explore her Jewish identity further. She talks about how her identity as a mixed-race person causes her to always feel a bit like an outsider, even as a member of a quintessentially "inside" organization like the House of Lords. She explores the ways in which that experience resonates with Jewish traditions of marginality or "outsider-ness" to a great extent.
(35:58 - 50:09): How does YouTube actively take steps to induce a spirit of creativity in its users? To what extent could contemporary Jewish communities learn from their efforts? [4] King looks at those questions, and even presents the idea of Judaism as a "Spotify playlist for religion." [5] She closes by diving deeper into the particular mission of Google (of which YouTube is a subsidiary), and why she is passionate about channeling it towards creating a better world. [6]
[1] For a full bio of Baroness Oona King, click here.
[2] King alludes to a controversy surrounding an antisemitic video made by a viral YouTuber named PewDiePie. Learn more by clicking here.
[3] Read more about the antisemitism directed at Baroness King through this BBC article.
[4] For a scholarly piece that looks at these questions from the lens of Jewish Studies, read "The Democratization of American Judaism," by Jonathan Sarna, available in full at this link.
[5] For another thinker that proposes we utilize the framework of a "playlist" to better understand contemporary Judaism, see Kerry Olitzky's book Playlist Judaism: Making Choices for a Vital Future.

Ringside Queers
A Mac Crary Editorial
June 10, 2017
In a film from Hollywood called A Few Good Men which likely you have seen, the star and antagonist says something to the effect that when the Marines go out to fight a war they can turn to the Navy and say, "thanks for the lift." The sarcasm speaks to an underlying sentiment that is readily understood by the audience, who may even share in its belief that joining the Navy is a form of Imperial evasion, a service who prove their manhood by tormenting whales with sonar, but it speaks very ill of recognition about the past, and memory of the Pacific War. My purpose in this letter is to make it possible for you to engage an understanding of the triangle existing between status tensions in the Armed Forces, Hollywood presentation, and the condition of Navy recognition through the simple prism of a special collection directed to a son of the USS San Jacinto, never arriving at much open acknowledgment.
In our society the crass existence of ideology plays an elusive but significant role in rivalry between districts of assembly pertaining to the politics of the Armed Forces. If a Marine with a Purple Heart in some sort of rage beats an old lady from Syria to death who lives on the streets of San Francisco his medals won't mean anything when Police arrest him. However, if a Marine is confronted in a bar by a Navy Seal who has insulted his honor and beats him to a pulp the idea that the insult crossed the line would provide an effective defense, at least in a significant segment of public opinion. This gets a little murkier when you look at a child being raised by a single mother who takes him to peace marches, concerts glamorizing the peace movement, finding him attacked blindside by an armed gang on his way to the Scholars Program in grade school. Children are impressionable, but the boy in question was also unrivaled ranking Naval nobility. Such a runt was resented, and taken as asking for it.
If the situation stopped there it would be possible to put down to human perversity and lament or laugh as the mood dictates, but you can't evaluate it outside of the tragic combination of factors, injury, obscure records, exploitation, suppression and falsification that made this lifelong ordeal delectable to the perpetrators, as though the thrill in watching the Navy stand aside while tribute to Japan was exacted from a son of the San Jacinto was entirely worth the cost of a ticket to the theater, because the author of the blind side attack on Jimmy Crary is now proven to have originated in Japanese pornographic cinema, the notorious Neva Corporation, with allies in the NAACP of Pittsburgh and WQED Television, major embarrassing factors keeping investigation silent. It is very difficult to know whose character should most properly be being evaluated.
According to the special collection documents, the crime was hotwired into an assassination program. The men who kidnapped me bragged of stealing a Lincoln "Cont". The letters of Gail Burstyn, an Israeli agent of Neva Corporation, spoke openly of murdering Martin Luther King as a function of leadership in the AIDS attack. There is something very Gen. Patton about the crusade, "If those punks are going to call themselves the same religion as us, then they should have to die to prove it." Faced with this madness, you literally cannot evaluate the character of the American people at all without facing the enormity of the evidence that AIDS was quite simply that: an attack. Gail Burstyn was apparently not only a homophone: Gail Carolyn Burstyn, but an Anglanized play on Geli Raubal. Whether you believe that or not, several facts are perfectly brazen: the assassins used disbelief to attack again and again.
As a deaf child ensnared in anti-war sensibilities, I was cut off from the pack, a runt of the litter, disowned. The text of the special collection goes quite a bit further, and contains the idea of using embarrassment about me to stigmatize all the other victims as well. It renders the murder of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy as an Army/Navy game, and this fact is perfectly clear and cannot be denied by those honest enough to evaluate the text. Nowhere is this idea presented as treason, far to the contrary. It is written entirely as saleable patriotism.
There is a specific means by which we have arrived at this jeopardy. Our people have abandoned the idea that our legitimacy depends on our integrity, honesty and free exchange of ideas in a system of checks and balances. There seems nowhere to turn in a society where leers and scapegoating are so popular and secrecy is so prized that you are considered dangerous in principle if you confide in anyone about anything. It isn't so much that the offices of administration don't already know as that you might ask them to admit they know. That it lacks any sort of bravery is particularly curious in light of how muscular the attackers' claims to superior manhood always have been. In real life, loyalty can sometimes simply be measured in making a phone call to the district police, despite fear of being called a snitch, or being turned in by a rogue officer to the local prison gang symbiosis at work in many power structures of our cities. There are lucrative law firms who advise and live by the credo that telling the truth is a loser and make sure it turns out that way.
The special collection is curiously written to compel trust in the authors despite being sleazy and wrong. There were many cold-blooded lies that came to light in the vicious text. Mysteriously deafened, cut off from the pack, beaten and gassed into a state of intellectual paralysis while still entering puberty, the little boy object, chosen for being from the Pacific Fleet at the time of the Little Boy bomb, was eventually forced in crawling destitution to apologize at the gate of the Dakota Mansion to Yoko Ono, who had managed to weaponize an impacted neuroplastic head trauma inflicted by Pitt's neurobehavioralist Wm. Wattenmaker, for the purpose of public humiliation. Science gets a little tricky; so does the script about Lennon's double and fantasy.
The firebrand in the movie who laughs at the Navy is confounded by a Naval attorney in an attempt by Hollywood to play feel good politics about our conscience during the blackout. Kennedy did have some black loyalists who in Pittsburgh, where this crime was witnessed, have increasingly become conscious of having sided with evil. I was variously raised to accept being tortured, called a jinx, a runt, queerbait and abused to this hour, but somehow the local celebrity darlings like Rusted Root, King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, Elizabeth Taylor and Ralph Proctor, all of whom knew about me, managed to have it that it was all the fault of Jimmy Crary. The lies they circulated through WQED with the help of Vince Eirene and his hatter friend Martin Sheen were so dangerously depraved that acceptance of them is literally death incarnate. You wouldn't have thought the civilized world would side with entrapment operations aimed at a battered deaf child, or when found out for happening the legal system close ranks into methods of exclusion, a barrister refusal circuit, as if every lawyer in America had recused themselves to malicious gloating, promoting the sickening and abberant attitude about maniacal injustice acceptable as a political movement. Nobody entertained the idea of it as a doublecross in the least.
In the name of Obama's Neo-Darwinian idea of a multi-racial survivor group, the attackers, clearly and demonstrably led by the Reagan machine, whose attache from the CVL-30 was in the air squad and clearly deemed a cut above the rest, someone Bush, knew that a nerve agent had been violently impacted in a hostage child who was prelingual and allowed the Japanese to target the head injury in the most criminal and cruel way that could possibly be imagined. They used theater tactics to arm a woman named Rosa who became engaged to be married to me for this dirty. Pitt, running a psychological operation, stood by their psychological services, Penny Crary, to the point of calling my father Ryland, a Distinguished Naval Veteran, Peace Corps Leader and Chair of Philosophy of Education, a paranoid schizophrenic and my testimony proof of genetic schizophrenia, while they knew about, and knew I didn't know about, a terrorist impacted neuroplasm they were targeting through Mellon Bank, Rosa's Restaurant as a symbol adjacent the Warhol Museum, for Yoko Ono, never once bothering about Gail Burstyn, the name on the script.
Ringo Starr very clearly believes his tyrannical leverage is higher than all other honors societies. What Yoko and Ringo did was not innocent of profoundly violent crime. New York media leader Lewis Lapham in braying contempt for what he banged on about as victim status had Cameron Brown's gang ripper murder Shannon Harps in Seattle in contempt for any idea but their own sale of hate. Under the terms of this outrage even the Good Samaritanism of the Buddy Program is exposed as more mental cruelty from the stage masters of a sickening farce. Armed with prattle about an unruly fan, hatred for the papparazzi and the myth of Yoko Ono's infallible art, like the disgusto film: Rape, the filmed the brutal rape of my deaf advocate Jeannie Tamburro for a secret war collection.
Peter Gabriel, as testified to by my school's Honors Department, viciously mangled his statements about prior depravity by Ringo and his agent Richard Borden, which they were calling a Tang pretzel, whatever that means, in their Lizzie Borden nest of ripper hatters, where on Mt. Desert Island they staged an AIDS testing war game, shown and proven to have been predating appearance of the virus, and called it an Experience Park (in a letter of affirmation with the guilty to me) to build empathy with the victims. They seem to have lied about everything, entirely and all of it. Royal Society are occult in ways that American police simply cannot keep up with and they have adopted the shrug of if you can't beat them, join them.
Rosa initiated her play conniving a vicious and eccentric maelstrom of hostilities targeting a prior invisible injury with the words, "I am too happy." This was the beginning of a long, deranged ordeal where my right to the pursuit of happiness was brought under the guns of backwards speaking prisoner-government gang symbiosis originating in a Seattle Museum mafia whose sympathies were persuaded by an inner circle Queers from Her Majesty's AIDS attack ARK construct of Royal celebrity acceptance practices. No one registers more hostility towards their victim than a frustrated slob who imagines their prey to blame for rejection by the Beatles, an idea the Beatles are only too ready to underwrite for their own ends of promoting sadism. Am I talking about myself or do I mean you?
Being in the grip of Ringo Starr means being punished for squawking in the name of being punished for not understanding. He sided with those who started AIDS but said it was in the name of Lennon. The intensity of the idolization directed at the Beatles transforms two-tongues and facelies into hypocrisy and paradox in the academic mind of their happy slave arsenal overawed by the razmataz of acid rock gaslighters.
Seattle as a culture tries not to endorse genocide (even when you are supposed to be sympathetic to one of our allies about it for some reason or another) and when they do endorse genocide they claim it is in the name and interest of the victims which of course is very curious but I guess it helps them to survive mentally, and gives them a sort of Obama fix job to salve some hard oversight sore spots.
You think I'm playing?
They went along with a different Milgram's experiment. The experiment by Milgram was pop art and sold books. He got a batch of urbane people to shock someone stupid (over their protests) under his command after inviting them to participate in a voluntary experiment. This was far more sinister and sick. How far could foreign London, a partner in the release of AIDS, get Queer Seattle to go against innocent people by telling them it was in the spirit of Lennon acting through the will of Yoko Ono, while insisting that the secrecy of rock stars in the matter be respected by the press?
The thinking originated among Israelis in a place called Guerilla Theater at a camp called Kon-a-Kwee, outside Pittsburgh, indicative of the homophone spinning in the many gyrations of the Ivy League psychiatric spider web the Reagans wove. It isn't coincidence that Patricia Fripp called on Jim Urban and others at Pitt News who glorified Reagan's Iran-Contra mess in declaring the dis-Honor Society systematics set up as justified entrapment masonry on Mt. Desert Island, which is viewed by them (an AIDS testing war game, although proven to have be planned before appearance of the virus) as an act of regency and excellence in government. Prison camps were already networked through Nazi gang bosses for clean-up time. So we see from who Patricia is that Bowie was an indispensable ally to Reagan and that Obama knew his game, black power in return for cooperation. The joke's on you. In this emergence of cunning and deplorable manipulation of crowd sentiment and media, the first blinkers fell away attesting to Beatles high crime, as Peter Gabriel from NASA sent a scurrilous alibi for Mt. Desert Island that held sway at the New York Times, who also knew in advance that AIDS was on the horizon. Zappa was already ready to publish disgruntled non-information until hysteria blew over to justify as impotent rage a theory of psychology and satisfaction for the victims, making up libels in the name of Lennon about me, who he adjudged must never be named. So much for timely warning. While Zappa lied for Reagan, more blinders fell away.
Does the truth vanish when the only person allowed to know it finally dies, like a snake swallowing its tail into infinity? Is the way such questions lance the script not surely indicative of one of the messages behind Tive's chronic lying, malicious accusation and characterization of peers as "mental midgets"? Why does the American assembly cheer so inelegantly those who hold them in scorn and rub atrocity in their faces by way of super-charismatic celebrities employed by their corporation at SONY? Why do you punish those who only wanted to be accepted by you? The government thought it would be funny, wry and witty to take my wife away from me. That bedlam of cruelty made them happy. So much for civic dignity. There were more horrors in store. On the night they authored their most hideous abuse from the dreamworld, the elopement of Midori with Kasper, the sadist who brutally and maniacally kidnapped and tortured me as a child, I spent the evening summoning my faith singing the entire canvas of King Crimson songs I knew, and in the darkness of their fabric of super-study, they unleashed on a homeless man, their final accounting. The physical realities, homelessness, seizures from a still invisible neuroplasm, reliving kidnapping and terrible fear as a child on the freezing streets of Pittsburgh, John Schieffelbein I am sure remembers how funny it was to see me in jail from public shrieking in Iowa when Clinton followed Midori to Ames with a laugh from the darkness of voices impinging on the persona's experience, a rape frame, twisted by foreign mania into a mind raped by neuro-amnesia. Castration lay in wait.
Ken Griffey, by the way, to me a nobody, was in those days thrilling Seattle, as I screamed in Des Moines, and Chris Arnberg helped himself to my former fiance. Solving the hidden issue of what Obama's faction did to my poor pap, from the Iowa countryside to which I turned, is a handicap in getting it all across because while done with less extreme defacement of his grave to him, the effectiveness of the low-intensity backstab followed the same roster and agenda techniques of the holy war power, and the ace in the deck for Obama is the Jewish heritage of Gail Burstyn. Griffey was in his heyday when I was vomiting my life out on the streets of Des Moines, but his syndicate still has their open mic bullies challenging me with deranged, malicious distortions.
The simplest factual details are smothered by the sophisticated arguments the British unleash with response time ultimatums clocked by Yoko Ono's museum mafia and prison gang symbiosis on the Federal level set to poison crime and murder of innocent bystanders for refusing to answer, by which they mean provide them recreational digest as getaway artists. They smother the specifics proving that Will Zell of Mt. Desert Island had prior knowledge of the AIDS war plan with sympathy for Leslie Katz, the starlet of their drama club presentation. The parochial savages agreed upon signifiers of which I am one, as the child of a humanist; a school of thought one of their leaders, Franklin Graham, called the greatest threat to America since communism, although he probably meant since democracy, which is all that humanism means. By brutal attack they forced me to accept broken laws as a child that I witnessed, relaying that I snitched whenever I turned to police or school administration. The reason they saw me as a laughingstock is because I loved King Crimson. This made King Crimson themselves hate me for how they could walk on me. My love meant nothing. King Crimson have been implicated for their prior involvement, with the ire of Frank Zappa ridiculing his fans as he mocked them with sleazy hatred, snickering aloud, "but you all love it, don't you?" with sneers at their masochism.
The public see it as collective defense of their religion, playing victim after brutal assault on a minor. Full of tricks, the assassins drafted a traumatized child into an illegal war game in a lifelong mandatory refutation of criminally insane homework braying that they are due full credit for creating what they construe in self-service as a hero of dissent. Under no circumstances will they allow legal review that might reveal their informal Death Row, which gallops the narrative towards my father like racing thoughts.
What's this about just one bullet in Pittsburgh? The key image of the film Deer Hunter. Did you notice how close Robert DeNiro played it to Obama in Kennedy Center on a public occasion? Martin Sheen played it just as close to me in Pittsburgh at my school, where his handmaiden Vince Eirene, drug varmint of Catholic Worker, brokered Katz' rumors on my manhood and reputation. Sheen's relationship of a doppleganger hue with Eirene is part of a crisis planning construct that attended military scandals around Oliver North like suspension of our Constitution, Desert Rescue, Ghorbanifar, Youssou N'dour, war on Nicaragua, Swimmer at Mellon Bank, Mt. Desert Island, the meaning of 444 days, Exocet missile sales to Iran via Israel and revelations held up by Miami Herald, where my maternal grandfather was once called the Fourth Estate's secret weapon, all taking place in broadcast while allowing Westmoreland County administration at Pitt to duck the realities of Gail Burstyn, as they pretended to find their own letters for the Federal Emergency Management Agency conjob they'd prior scripted, all licky chops. DeNiro was close at hand.
The English manner of the combine in structure was to dispense soothsay and symbolic terrorism while playing a game of playing like they were on the side of the victims. They had Euro-queers, of course, on high, from the central planning division of the Ark, just as notorious and violent queers battered me in hostage as a child. AIDS was a weapon from perverts, the sort of Nazi sadists that surrounded Ernst Roehm. The exotic idea of a prince in an iron mask was a contribution of bondage pornographers in good with the FBI, who allowed this slipknot when I spoke out in the name of democratic values, a heresy they called it at the Post Gazette. Semper Fi induced the requested forgetfulness at the insistence of Daniel Inouye's special gavel. National Security put the rabble to sleep again, condoning the mysterious elixir with the putrid choirs of long robe loyalty before the throne of the Union Jack.
Midori Goto, posturing, oh but he was petitioning me, made sure that every depraved invention was circulated, exaggerated and validated. What wouldn't she say for a Japanese revenge endorsed by Hitler Reagan and Ringo Starr?
Such writing clearly isn't art, it screams that a law has been broken and negligence roars, but it cannot be entirely satisfying as to its purpose either. Why? The reason is called mad words in Japanese, Kyogen, jabberwocky in foreign England, and word salad among the depressing metal heads in America, but the foundational sentiment is that voices of radio map overlaying the trickery are obscure advertisements which cause embarrassment and cringing much like pornography and legalized cannabis do in Seattle. The Beatles (always applause machine rock) knew and can mobilize laughter and gratitude anyway, while secretly carrying out mutilation abomination.
Frank Zappa made a show of non-information, while covering for the killers like Henry Wade, letting Youssou N'dour into the basement of the police department just as though Obama were Jack Ruby, while his minions in Pittsburgh, playing dad's screams before Trinity's might, said my being afraid proves me guilty. Moonunit and her munchkins got the story of Bill Wheeler claiming he committed infanticide of my son through the wires of Seattle Stranger to substantiate the crime of an unidentified registered nurse at Harborview in the cruel overture to the ripper hatter murder of Shannon Harps by psychiatric authorities playing the tune of minimum justified violence to the choir of Martin Luther King's clemency for all.

Helicopter Fun With Cloud 9 Living!
Before I tell you about my experience, let me tell you about the company that made it possible.
Cloud 9 Living is a gifting company that believes in the thrilling things in life. Their mission? To forever change the world of gift giving by enhancing people's lives through memorable experiences -- as it states on their site. Through an easy-going process, you're able to schedule an experience for yourself, a loved one, or a party of such and have the time of your life. From scenic cruises and wine tastings to water gliding like Obama or race car driving, it's a day you'll never forget.
In collaboration with Cloud 9 Living, I got to choose a gift for myself! Amongst the many experiences they had available, I ended up choosing a 30min. helicopter ride with Wings Air Helicopters for this past Friday. When I reached their base at the Westchester Airport, I met with one of their flight instructors, Anthony Ianni, and we got right into the experience.
In confirming all of the gears were in place, we lifted off towards the city. As I'm sure many of us have ridden planes before, until you've been in a 4-seater helicopter, it's a whole different ball game. When I reached the highest point in flight, my only concerns were the small space and riding shotgun. My distance from the ground was the least of my worries.
Since it was a short trip, I wasn't expecting the full-fledge 'Welcome to Flight School' instruction manual however, I did learn a few interesting things. The gears were really sensitive, so he taught me how to handle the them and steer different directions. He even had me drive a few times on my own. According to him, I was one of the best students he's ever had :)... Anyways, we flew all over the city from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge to the World Trade Center and back -- all in a matter of 30min. However petrifying this trip may sound, I made the most out of it and it was the best experience I've had in a long time.
In light of Valentines Day, I've teamed up with Cloud 9 Living to extend an experiential gift at a special discount! Use code: NKENGE10 to receive 10% off an experience of your choice! Take your significant other out for a dinner cruise, go on a thrilling blimp ride with your bestie, or treat yourself to the race car driving lesson of your dreams. Whichever you choose, I know you'll have the time of your life. Go to Cloud9Living.com for more info!
Thanks again Cloud 9 Living for an amazing experience and special thanks to Anthony for being so cool throughout the trip!
What I'm Wearing
Bomber: Uniqlo
Head Scarf: Vintage Dior
Denim: Citizens of Humanity
Boots: Public Desire
Really though, what's a better way to enter the weekend, than with a helicopter ride? Comment your answer below, I'll wait.
Until next time.

How to Use Microfiber Cloths
I have fallen in love with microfiber cloths. I have known about them for quite awhile but never thought to try them until my sister gave me a pack for my birthday. These things are amazing and have cut the cost of using paper towels and commercial cleaners way down.
I first tried them on my computer and television because I assumed that's what they were meant for. Little did I know all the neat things they can do!
Where to use Microfiber Cloths
- Clean mirrors and windows . Just use 2 cloths, wet one and wipe the glass and then go over it with a dry cloth.
- Great for wiping down leather furniture and leather coats. You can lightly dampen it with water but I really like using Murphy's Oil Soap (diluted in a spray bottle to 2 parts oil soap to 8 parts water) instead of water.
- Keep a microfiber cloth in your car to wipe down windows, mirrors and dashboard,
- Great for dusting wood furniture. Use dry or with a little diluted oil soap like with the leather.
- You can exfoliate your legs, preferably before shaving by running a microfiber cloth over it.
- These cloths can also be used to exfoliate the dead skin on your face. Just use a light touch so you don't irritate the skin.
- Wash your car and use another one of these to wax it.
- Cleaning blinds.
I found a few microfiber things at Amazon that I haven't tried yet, but I want to:
Microfiber Detailing Kit 4-Piece (2 Towels, 2 Mitts)
Even though they are made for washing and detailing your car, these microfiber mitts look like they would make dusting furniture a breeze! Or even run them over your legs to exfoliate in seconds. Or wiping down blinds! I bet these would be even more handy than the cloths.
2 NEW Ultra Absorbent Microfiber Terry Bath Towel Luxury 32*59″
These I'm not totally sure about but I am very curious about them and want to give them a try. I can see where they would keep your skin smooth but I wonder if they feel weird on your skin.
Where to Find Microfiber Cloths
You can get microfiber cloths in a lot of places. I have seen them at the Dollar Store occasionally, and also at Walmart (in the auto section). I'm sure they are in other places too.
The ones my sister got me are actually microfiber dish cloths but I use them for everything. I love the cute design (I'm a Dots girl). I think she got these at Kohl's but I found them on Amazon. Here they are:
DII Microfiber Terry Printed Juicy Dots Dish Cloth, Set of 4
Cleaning Microfiber Cloths
Microfiber Cloths do require a little extra consideration when cleaning them:
- Don't use fabric softener on them.
- Don't use bleach on them.
- Wash separately OR wash with non-linty type of clothes.
Leave a comment and let me know if you have found any cool uses for these little wonder cloths that I haven't thought of.

A brief is a document received by the client which clarifies the aims and objectives of the campaign required and explaining the designer or agency about the brand's identity. This document is very important in terms of development of the campaign but in usual practice this is forgotten mostly. Either the conversation takes place between the designer and the client verbally or just few simple points are discussed. But actually the designer is not supposed to write the brief but must know how it is made since he can be in a better position to deliver good designs and can understand the purpose of it.
The brand issues or opportunity that the new communication must address
- To stay top of the mind and bring brand closer to the consumer we need to give a fresh look to the communication
- Build brand further on its positioning
The target consumer affinity group
- Gender (Males or females and which age group)
- Belonging to A, B, C or which class
- The target audience profile (Students, career oriented people or any other)
Current consumer usage, attitude and mindset
- Usage: e.g. Chocolate is an impulsive buy that is done frequently
- Attitude e.g. Treat yourself
- Mindset e.g. knowing a certain brand that delivers chocolates and how many variants, flavors, ingredients
The desired consumer behavior, attitude and mindset
- Choosing the chocolate of that certain brand maybe for a pleasurable break (Kitkat), choosing a chocolate that gives me an exotic feeling (Bounty), mindset that my appetite will be filled with the most desirable taste (Snickers).
The consumer understanding the brand can leverage to achieve the desired consumer change
- Desired consumer understanding: e.g. for Kitkat people are bored at times and they look for a break from their monotonous routine, or for Debeers, Diamonds are forever the desired consumer behavior is spend some but enjoy for the whole life, keep them with you forever and never worry.
- Desired consumer change: Kitkat gives me break from my boring routine so I have to buy it, or I should get nike shoes because I just have to do it, I need to have the power and should be able to achieve the impossible. This is something very conceptual and depends mainly on the concept and the taglines.
Role of brand in relation to the insight
It goes same as the tagline or the concept; Kitkat a break from monotony, Philips Sense and simplicity, Horlicks taller, stronger, sharper and so on.
What should the communication say
- What medium to be used, whether photographs, images or vector based or just typography
- It should highlight the concept of the campaign and brand personality
- How is it communicating with the target audience
The brief implies to the total information about the brand and communication style. It also indicates certain USP's (Unique selling propositions) of the brand and complete list of the designed items which need to be developed. The timelines, language of communication and reference material are also mentioned. The purpose of the brief is now very clear since without it no creative campaign can be developed.
