As reported in the New York Times today, the Senate passed a measure by a vote of 51-45 to ban waterboarding and other "harsh interrogation methods." The legislation had already cleared the House in December that would "limit all American interrogators to techniques permitted in the Army Field Manual on Interrogation."
President Bush, threatening to veto the bill, drew harsh criticism from Democrats Charles Schumer and Senate Leader Harry Reid. In a salvo to prod Bush into signing the bill, Schumer exclaimed, "If the president vetoes intelligence authorization, he will be voting in favor of waterboarding." While Reid proclaimed, "We are taking an important step toward restoring our moral leadership in the world. It is now up to the president to show his own moral leadership and sign this bill into law."
McCain, claiming his support and vote for the Military Commissions Act of 2006, which gives the President the ability to approve harsh interrogations methods not in the Army Field Manual, provides proof his record is consistent with his views and voting record on torture.
Nonetheless, McCain seemed to contradict himself, telling one reporter, "Waterboarding is illegal and should be banned" and "the agency (the C.I.A.) must adhere to existing federal law and international treaties."

The really good magic trick .
Woody Allen, I think it was, lamented "life is so daily." Considering the alternative, I vote for daily life. However, the repetition of ongoing tasks and chores required by daily life often tricks me into thinking and feeling that I am not really living.
As one Covid-19 infected day merges into the next, and the next, and the next, ad infinitum, I am learning this: an adrenaline high doesn't equate to really living. Having said that, here comes an "Ah-Ha" lightbulb. The name of the game is becoming independent from outside stimulation. Using my mind to generate an adrenaline high from the inside is the WOW POW magic act that transforms the dailyness of it all from boring grind to interesting and entertaining.

2.) enter participant code: 39527048# (remember the "#")
Video Conferencing
We will attempt an EVO connection for this meeting. We have a reasonable expectation that this will work.
Attendees: David L. (chair), Simon T., Alex S., Mark I., Elliott W., Elke A., Beni Z., Herun Y., Jim S., Micah V., Curtis M.
Standard Software Versions
See Mark's slides above that were used to prime the discussion. There was a general consensus that we should have at least a nightly build and build for each stable release. The "production" build will point to the last stable release. It was suggested that the release notes be posted on the wiki in a way taht makes it easy to scan through them when looking for major changes.
There was some discussion of external package management. In particular, things like root, cernlib, and xerces. At a minimum, the release notes for a release should contain a list of the versions for the relevant packages that were known to compile on a specific platform. The issue of binary distribution was deferred until a later meeting.
Too many cdcTruthHits
Beni presented evidence of multiple truth hits in the CDC. These are events in which more than 1 truth hit can occur for the same straw. Mark first noticed this while working on tracking code. The double hits do not occur in the raw CDC hits, only in the truth hits. This issue was understood by Richard (not at the meeting) who has since, addressed it.
Action items
- Follow up on anonymous svn checkouts (David L.)
- Formalize/document software release creation procedure (David L., Mark I.)

A much better day was had by all. Yesterday was a boater's dream.
It started off with a lazy morning, enjoying coffee and reading emails and newspapers in the idyllic setting of Lakefield. Tired bones were rested after the gruelling day.
We set sail in sunny but slightly windy conditions. We are now in 'cottage country'. Canadians have a different meaning of 'cottage' to Australians. I think of a shack, a modest dwelling used as a holiday home… not so, the Canadians. There are modest holiday homes, however, there are amazingly huge mansions with all the accoutrements of playthings for the rich and famous. One 'cottage' even had a water plane tethered to its pier. And to think these homes are used as holiday bolts for a couple of months of the year!
The scenery is drop-dead gorgeous. The islands are scattered with shoals and boulders hiding just beneath the surface. The channels are well marked and circuitous. Many times Mark had to navigate with caution close to islands. I wisely chose to relinquish the helm.
We saw a church on an island, where the parishioners attend by boat. So cool!
We tied up to the upper wall of the Lovesick Lock with two other boats. We are an international flotilla: Aussies, Canadians and Americans, with a Scotsman from the lower wall. We enjoyed docktails with a gorgeous view. And after dinner, we resumed our socialising around the blazing fire pit, courtesy of Parks Canada.
I have been on bear watch since arriving in Canada. Although I did not see one, it was a good day.
Such is Life!

Click and Connect: 5 Ways to Connect and Work With Social Media Influencers
Whether you operate entirely online or run a brick-and-mortar business, a solid digital presence is necessary for bringing in new customers.
Now there are many ways to build your online brand. Getting reviews from trusted sources and paid search marketing are effective methods that can help increase brand awareness. Social media and public relations or PR campaigns are also excellent ways to get the word out about your company.
And speaking of social media and PR campaigns, you can't forget about influencer outreach. Here, we'll talk about how to connect with social media influencers and other thought leaders in your niche so you can gain traction in your online marketing.
1.Select the Right Social Media Influencers
You can send emails to social media stars all day, but if they're not the right fit for your brand, you're just wasting time.
Remember, social influencer marketing isn't all about the hottest YouTube vloggers. You're better off partnering with someone who might not have the biggest audience but will earnestly promote your product or service.
Think of it as an exchange of value. With so many brands approaching the most popular social influencers, it's going to be hard coming up with an offer they haven't heard before.
A better strategy is to work with up-and-coming voices in your niche. These influencers have the most potential for growing their audience and convincing followers about your brand's value.
2.Be Smart About How You Approach Them
Sending an e-mail out of the blue might work for some influencers, but if your goal is to build a long-lasting relationship, you'll want to take your time.
Once you've identified the best influencers for boosting your brand exposure, don't make your pitch yet. Engage with them on their channel or profile by consuming their content and leaving thoughtful comments. Be sure to share their posts as well.
3.Make Your Pitch
After consistently engaging with the influencers you're thinking of partnering with, you're now ready to ask permission. Before you email your pitch, be sure to give them a heads up by sending them a direct message.
If they respond positively, you can be confident that your email wouldn't be left unread. In your email, get straight to the point and explain how both parties will benefit from working together. You don't need to get into the specifics yet, but they have to be curious enough to email back.
4.Don't Give Up
Rejections are part of the process. It doesn't mean influencers will never work with you.
When influencers say no to your pitch, ask them why and see if you can tweak your offer. Don't let this be the end of your interaction with them. Keep engaging with them, and their 'no' could turn into a 'yes' later on.
5.Keep Learning
Influencer marketing isn't something you'll master in weeks. You can get better by learning from others.
For example, this B2B guide is the perfect place to start if you want to know about successful brands using the same strategy so you can launch effective influencer marketing campaigns.
You Can Do It
Are you ready to reach out to the social media influencers in your field?
With the tips we've shared here, don't be afraid to get started. Identify the right people who can help get your brand recognized and engage with them on their channels/profiles.

Dr. Bernard Nathanson (1926-2011)
Source: https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/resource/55401/an-ex-abortionist-speaks
Dr. Bernard Nathanson was co-founder in 1969 of the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws — NARAL — later renamed the National Abortion Rights Action League. He was also the former director of New York City's Center for Reproductive and Sexual Health, then the largest abortion clinic in the world. In the late 1970's he turned against abortion to become a prominent pro-life advocate, authoring Abortion America and producing the powerfully revealing video, "The Silent Scream".
I am personally responsible for 75,000 abortions. This legitimizes my credentials to speak to you with some authority on the issue. I was one of the founders of the National Association for the Repeal of the Abortion Laws in the U.S. in 1968. A truthful poll of opinion then would have found that most Americans were against permissive abortion. Yet within five years we had convinced the Supreme Court to issue the decision which legalized abortion throughout America in 1973 and produced virtual abortion on demand up to birth.
How did we do this? It is important to understand the tactics involved because these tactics have been used throughout the western world with one permutation or another, in order to change abortion law.
The First Key Tactic was to capture the media
We persuaded the media that the cause of permissive abortion was a liberal enlightened, sophisticated one. Knowing that if a true poll were taken, we would be soundly defeated, we simply fabricated the results of fictional polls. We announced to the media that we had taken polls and that 60% of Americans were in favour of permissive abortion. This is the tactic of the self-fulfilling lie. Few people care to be in the minority.
We aroused enough sympathy to sell our program of permissive abortion by fabricating the number of illegal abortions done annually in the U.S. The actual figure was approaching 100,000 but the figure we gave to the media repeatedly was 1,000,000. Repeating the big lie often enough convinces the public. The number of women dying from illegal abortions was around 200 – 250 annually. The figure constantly fed to the media was 10,000. These false figures took root in the consciousness of Americans convincing many that we needed to crack the abortion law. Another myth we fed to the public through the media was that legalizing abortion would only mean that the abortions taking place illegally would then be done legally. In fact, of course, abortion is now being used as a primary method of birth control in the U.S. and the annual number of abortions has increased by 1500% since legalization.
The Second Key Tactic was to Play the Catholic Card
We systematically vilified the Catholic Church and its "socially backward ideas" and picked on the Catholic hierarchy as the villain in opposing abortion. This theme was played endlessly. We fed the media such lies as "we all know that opposition to abortion comes from the hierarchy and not from most Catholics" and "Polls prove time and again that most Catholics want abortion law reform." And the media drum-fired all this into the American people, persuading them that anyone opposing permissive abortion must be under the influence of the Catholic hierarchy and that Catholics in favour of abortion are enlightened and forward-looking. An inference of this tactic was that there were no non-Catholic groups opposing abortion. The fact that other Christian as well as non-Christian religions were (and still are) monolithically opposed to abortion was constantly suppressed, along with pro-life atheists' opinions.
The Third Key Tactic was the Denigration and Suppression of all Scientific Evidence that Life Begins at Conception
I am often asked what made me change my mind. How did I change from prominent abortionist to pro-life advocate? In 1973, I became director of obstetrics of a large hospital in New York City and had to set up a perinatal research unit, just at the start of a great new technology which we now use every day to study the foetus in the womb. A favourite pro-abortion tactic is to insist that the definition of when life begins is impossible; that the question is a theological or moral or philosophical one, anything but a scientific one. Fetology makes it undeniably evident that life begins at conception and requires all the protection and safeguards that any of us enjoy.
Why, you may well ask, do some American doctors who are privy to the findings of fetology, discredit themselves by carrying out abortions? Simple arithmetic: at $300.00 a time 1.55 million abortions means an industry generating $500,000,000 annually, of which most goes into the pocket of the physician doing the abortion. It is clear that permissive abortion is purposeful destruction of what is undeniably human life. It is an impermissible act of deadly violence. One must concede that unplanned pregnancy is a wrenchingly difficult dilemma. But to look for its solution in a deliberate act of destruction is to trash the vast resourcefulness of human ingenuity, and to surrender the public weal to the classic utilitarian answer to social problems.
As a scientist I know, not believe, know that human life begins at conception. Although I am not a formal religionist, I believe with all my heart that there is a divinity of existence which commands us to declare a final and irreversible halt to this infinitely sad and shameful crime against humanity.
Dr Nathanson describes his own evolution. It is not complete at the time of the conclusion of his confession. Meanwhile, after a long spiritual road, he has converted to the Catholic faith. He wrote these confessions in his autobiography: The hand of God, Bernard Nathanson, Regnery Publishing, ISBN 978-0-89526-463-3.
Afterwards, after a long spiritual journey, he converted to the Catholic faith in 1996.
Ed. The story of Dr. Bernard Nathanson is not isolated. On March 29, 2019, the film "Unplanned" premiered in the U.S. Despite formal opposition from much of the film industry and the media, he enjoyed great success everywhere he could be shown. The film tells the story of Mrs Abby Johnson, who worked for Planned Parenthood for eight years and even became director of a large abortion clinic of this organization. After seeing the ultrasound of an abortion, she broke her contract and became active in the American Pro-Life movement. In 2012, she left the liberal Episcopal Church and, along with her husband, converted to Catholicism.
These and other testimonies paint a picture of the mendacious propaganda spread by the media. It shows how easily supposedly reliable media set aside their principles in terms of objectivity and critical attitude if they are not in line with their ideological objectives. These confessions give us a good idea of how the "ARM" (Atheism/Rationalism/Materialism) works worldwide and to which she owes her successes.

Natural Streak-Free Homemade Glass Cleaner, the end all to glass cleaners
I love the simplicity of making homemade cleaners. If I use up a cleaner, I don't have to run out to the store to buy another, nor am I adding more plastic to our landfills.
Best of all, I can make them with all natural ingredients!
Speaking of natural ingredients, if you are looking for a natural dust spray that doubles as wood polish, then grab my recipe for a Lemon Cedar Dust Spray. With it and today's natural cleaning recipe, you can skip the burn that chemical cleaners give your nose…
If you've ever used a blue liquid to clean glass, you know what I am talking about. And you won't need to open a window to ventilate the air either.
This post contains some affiliate links for your convenience, read full disclosure policy.
So, what is the best thing to use to clean glass?
The answer to that question includes a few tried and true ingredients and a little secret I discovered! I am sure water, vinegar, and even rubbing alcohol come as no surprise. But, have you ever used cornstarch or lemon essential oil in a glass cleaner?
Cornstarch gives this natural glass cleaner scrubbing power and the lemon essential oil is a natural degreaser. It works with the rubbing alcohol for a streak-free finish.
What else can you clean with it?
If you've ever purchased a professional mirror or photo frame cleaner than you know it does not spray on in a dripping liquid form. It sprays on in a foam. This recipe creates professional foam spray without chemicals. And it's incredible for cleaning photo frames, mirrors, windows, and glass cupboard doors.

Natural Streak-Free Homemade Glass Cleaner Ingredients:
3/4 cup distilled water
1/8 cup distilled white vinegar
1/8 cup rubbing alcohol
1 tablespoon cornstarch
10 drop lemon essential oil
How to make a Streak-Free Homemade Glass Cleaner
Pour 3/4 cup distilled water, 1/8 cup white vinegar, and 1/8 cup rubbing alcohol into a glass spray bottle (this is the one I use). Using a funnel add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Then add 10 drops of lemon essential oil. Place the lid on the spray bottle and shake well to combine. Yields 8 ounces
Shake before each use. Spray glass and wipe clean with a lint-free cloth. I highly recommend purchasing a microfiber cloth for cleaning glass that you can wash again and again.
Find my favorite cleaning tools and more in my 20 Essentials for Green Living. Don't forget you can use this recipe for a Streak-Free Homemade Glass Cleaner on windows, mirrors, and photo frames. Make sure to label your bottle. I make my vinyl labels with an electronic cutting machine (this the one I have). But, any label or tag will work.

New York City Housing Development Corporation
The New York City Housing Development Corporation (HDC) plays a key role in advancing the goals set forth in the City's Housing New York 2.0 plan which aims to create a more fair and equitable city through the creation and preservation of affordable housing. Together with the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and our many other valued partners across the housing industry, we have made significant strides towards bringing affordable housing opportunities to New Yorkers in greatest need.
This year alone, the City financed more than 25,000 affordable homes, bringing the total number of units created or preserved under the Housing New York 2.0 plan to 147,933. Roughly half of this overall production has been supported through financing provided by HDC.
In 2019, a record-breaking 10,197 newly constructed apartments were financed under the housing plan, including transformative projects like The Peninsula Building 1B which is part of a multi-phased development that will ultimately bring more than 700 units of 100 percent affordable housing to the Bronx.
The City preserved an additional 15,692 apartments this year—among them the 524-unit, scattered-site JOE Central Brooklyn project, which will help to make sure more New Yorkers can continue to live in and afford the neighborhoods they call home.

TAT-10: Preclinical Evaluation of Astatinated Nanobodies for Targeted Alpha Therapy
To evaluate the yields, purity, and binding three different prosthetic groups were prepared with conjugates m-eATE and SGMAB for 2Rs15d-Nb and MSB for the site-specific 2Rs15d-His6-Linker-Cys. All three gave good yields and purities. The m-eATE with an activity of 118 MBq/mg gave a yield of 55% and purity 99%. The SGMA with activity 68 MBq/mg had yield 28% and purity 99%. Finally the site-specific MSB with activity 270 MBq/mg had yield 52% and purity >91%. The internalized fractions were 24.5%, 11.8%, and 25% at 1 hour and 18.1%, 10.9%, and 9.5% at 24 hours respectively for MSB, SGMAB, and me-ATE.
In vivo studies are planned to both confirm the internalization fractions and explore the biodistribution of the different At211-labeled Nb conjugates.

Watch all of Scud's filmography on GagaOOLala!
Every gay man has heard of the works of director Scud, even if he has not watched any of his films: Permanent Residence (2009), Amphetamine (2010), or his most recent work, Utopians (2016), all of Scud's films feature a more-than-decent amount of sculpted male bodies and sex-appeal. But besides this, they also deal with controversial topics such as drugs, depression, attraction towards straight men, and even philosophical and religious issues.
This year, Scud is releasing his seventh title, Thirty Years of Adonis (2017), about a 30-year-old man who dreams of becoming a famous star, but ends up falling into a lustful trap that submerges him into a world of hedonism. In the end, this experience makes him reflect on his own existence. GagaTai seized the opportunity and sat down with Scud to discuss his recent work.
Scud greeted us with a smile and sat on the couch next to the window, the sky behind him. His roun=uMIYRxweXwCrYnh2kdq1JsKMjfyx-iMZ&(lCp@zne$HDWuskKd, smiling face surrounded by white light is remindful of the Buddhist connotations in his latest film.
After this warm welcome, we jumped directly into the challenges of filming Thirty Years of Adonis sex scenes, specifically the one where 30 men restrain the main character and tie him to a cross. Scud revealed that the main actor, Hefei, was very worried about the whole setting. Even though he knew the other 30 men, he could not see their faces due to their clothes and because he was lying down. So, even when they slowly approached him all at once, he did not know what was going to happen. "This type of fear is not related to the trust on the director, but in something inexplicable." Later, the make-up artist also told Scud that when she approached Hefei on the cross to touch up his make-up, she also felt the urge of run away from there. "At that moment I realized the power a large group of people has over one individual".

This is the second collaboration between Scud and Hefei. Hefei's height and delicate features reminded Scud of the Greek god Adonis, the god of desire. From their previous collaboration, Utopians, to Thirty Years of Adonis, has Scud noticed any change in Hefei? "When shooting Utopians, Hefei was much more cautious; right now he is filled with confidence," Scud said. He told us that Hefei plays a big star in Thirty Years of Adonis, but destiny has something very different in store for him.
This story, full of twists, has allowed Hefei to show off a wider acting range. Scud also mentioned that while Thirty Years of Adonis is full of wonderful actors, he did not want to put Hefei in the spotlight. "It did not diminish his performance; in fact, his background role enhanced it."
And… surprise! When you go into the theater to watch Thirty Years of Adonis, you will not only enjoy Hefei's godlike beauty, but you will also meet Eric East, a famous Chinese gay porn star. Scud invited Eric to play a role because of his outstanding and eye-catching appearance.
"You will never find another man like him," Scud said. "Although he only appears for a few minutes he plays a very important role. I need the audience to recognize him." Actually, Scud did not watch Eric's previous films. When the crew arrived in Taiwan, Scud found out that many of the actors were Eric's fans. "As soon as they saw Eric, they immediately asked him for a picture and his signature. That really impressed me."

In addition to Hefei and Eric, there are two other actors who will blow your mind away - Alan Tang and Ding Yu-Sheng. Scud revealed that Alan Tang is quite mature in private, sometimes discussing stuff like Karma with him. Some of Alan's fans also said Alan's personality is different from how he appears on the screen. This bothered him a lot. But Scud told him, "An actor should only care [about] his performance on screen because that is your chosen art." As for Ding, Scud said he has very theatrical qualities. "When we were taking a nude photo of the group, it occurred to me that Ding was quite nice. He arrived at the place right after he picked up the phone. He was also the first one who took his clothes off at the moment. I think he is quite interesting. This film is his debut, and he is really attractive."

Speaking of nudity, I asked him the meaning of performing naked to him. He said nudity is a man's entirety.
"I preferred looking at faces when I was young. As I grew up, the parts of men I focused on were getting lower. Now I examine a man's entirety. I can tell if a man has a beautiful or sexual aura to attract the audience once he stands out."
"I'm obsessed with nudity. I am not interested in a man's outfit. When we take photos, I mean your nude photos. I want to take your picture, not your shirt and pants."
Thirty Years of Adonis
Entirety is composed of parts. Without one of the parts, the entirety no longer exists. Scud often shot the important parts in his previous works, so we asked: "You usually shoot penises in your films, including Thirty Years of Adonis. How do you present them to the audience?"
He smiled and said: "About this question… Sometimes people tell me the recurrent topic in my films is nudity and private parts. I think if I don't show those private parts it cannot be considered nudity. So, they must appear."
He continued by sharing his experience in auditions. Once a Taiwanese actor told him if he picked him for the part, Scud had to give him some time to get an erection before starting to shoot films. "In general, I don't care about sizes. Usually, I won't ask for a specific state for the penis. But if it is allowed, men look better when they have erection. So, it makes no sense to see this as a bad thing.
Thirty Years of Adonis
Unless the actors are very professional or have a strong desire for performance. I once met a guy who was erected all the time. He said when he took his clothes off and saw strangers before him, he would immediately get excited. In this case, this is not good for the film when you have many different scenes to be shot."
His films are full of nudity, penises and homosexuality; therefore he naturally encountered some obstacles, including objections based on religion. I asked him for his perspective on the objections to homosexuality from the religious community in Taiwan. He said: "In Hong Kong, some similar groups are also against my films. There is a dialogue in my work, Utopians: 'The one who objects homosexuality is not the god up above, but the churches down beneath. God creates sexual diversity. Can you fully explain his divine commands?' Many people achieve their purpose in the name of God, but sometimes they are just restricting other men's freedom. I think this brings shame to their religions. But I also know no matter what you do, there's always someone who is not happy with it. I think we should let it go."
The theme of Thirty Years of Adonis is the understanding of life and death from a Buddhist perspective. At the end of the interview, I suddenly recalled the touching scene in which Hefei and Sim Yam-yam hugged each other and cried as Karma arrived. I asked Scud's feelings about this scene. He kept silent and paused for a while, said: "That scene is really special…"
"I was looking at the screen behind them at the scene. As Yam-yam spoke, I was totally in shock. I didn't realize her performance was so impressive. When she said the first word, she was already crying. I was shocked and naturally said: 'Wow!' Then kLWv4MhBOM_Yl0j7rTBogs9!(TV-0(hPVpRvwPsNgSwK%!H%!mI started crying."
Thirty Years of Adonis
I saw tears in Scud's eyes. His voice became stiff. His Adam's apple was shaking.
"I cried for ages and I forgot to say 'cut.' I was deeply touched. Her lines also described our desire to live. If everything is fated, then what is the meaning of trying so hard? Would you stop trying your best because eventually everything comes to an end?' I don't think this is a good attitude towards life. But I think this is the most positive thinking in this hopeless life. While facing each pain, separation, dilemma and helplessness, we still have to put on our best face."
After Scud finished speaking, I couldn't open my mouth to end this interview because there were still some tears in his eyes. But I think what he said is the best annotation for Thirty Years of Adonis or even his previous works. Some of you may question if there are only desires, sex, and bed affairs in his films. Nevertheless, Scud's work fearlessly present gay men's lives and spirits. After this interview, we got to know the core view of life and death from Thirty Years of Adonis. Gay men's desires are about not only lust but also their connection with life.
Thirty Years of Adonis beautifully tells the ups and downs of a gay man who wants to be a super star. When he finally finds his palace and lands his dream job, he faces a turning point in his life. The character may be gay, but the subject matter will resonate with everyone. It relates to sex, love, life, and death. Once you step on a journey, you will "do your best" until the end.
Scud paused for a while, and had a sip of water. Finally, he smiled at us again. I looked at this director who presented gay men's sex and life to the world. If I wanted to shoot a film about the questions of desires, love, life, and death, I would aso put on a warm smile, and firmly and gently lead the audience to solve the puzzles by themselves.

Child Support and Visitation Rights
You and your spouse are in family court and must determine who will have physical custody of the children. During court, the judge determines your spouse should be designated as the "primary" parent for your child. The court will award you a possession schedule but will also order you to pay child support. Unfortunately, over time, your ex-spouse begins preventing you from seeing your child. You consider stopping your payments as payback until you can see your child.
Do not stop your payments. If you don't make your payments, you can wind up in legal trouble.
Do I have to Pay Child Support If I Have No Visitation Rights?
If your ex-spouse prevents you from seeing your child, the worst thing you could do is stop making child support payments. While you might do this as revenge against the custodial parent, this financial decision is considered a contempt of court and can send you to jail. These payments are a legal obligation to your child and not based on the condition that you get to see your child whenever you want. The old adage rings true – two wrongs do not make a right.
The court and judge view child custody with visitation and child support as two separate issues. Therefore, termination of one does not justify the termination of the other. Both are legal obligations in their own right.
Who Do I Contact if the Custodial Parent Is Preventing Me From Seeing My Child?
Start documenting the times you are denied access. The other parent could be in contempt of court and you need to contact a family law attorney to discuss your options.
While it can be very frustrating when a parent decides to do whatever they want and ignore the order, it is important to keep your emotions in check. Don't do anything that could jeopardize your current order or potential modifications in the future.
If you need family law legal assistance, call Hatton and Hatton. With decades of combined experience, we can assist you through this challenging transition.

My teaching philosophy : to provide a safe, creative and respectful environment for students to learn. I am dedicated to spend as much time as needed for both children and adults to feel supported on their learning journey. I have committed wholeheartedly to my education so that I can bring a wide range of tools and skills to my students. Because my riding experience and exposure to several unique teachers was so vast at such a young age, I was able to take material from each and compile my own method of teaching. I determined that all riders learn differently. I did not want to just give my students commands. Further, I did not want to overwhelm them with "wordiness." I want to teach them how and why to do something instead of telling them what to do. Enhancing the rider's understanding of this goes beyond the mere mechanics of riding and stimulates the mind to get involved. This leads to breakthroughs in riding and better communication between instructor and student. In 2012, I founded The Holistic Horse and Rider. I made the decision to start my own business geared toward improving the overall performance of the horse and rider through the use of cross training. I wanted to use a holistic approach to develop and improve the mind, body, and spirit of the horse and rider.
I offer lessons, workshops and clinics utilizing my approach for both children and adults. In addition to lessons, youth summer camps and young rider programs are available. I firmly believe in students developing a balanced, independent seat and a thorough understanding of rider position, function and biomechanics. Dressage is the foundation of all training and I help my students develop confidence and skill during their flatwork so that no matter what their future goals are – dressage, jumping or otherwise – they will have a strong and competent foundation for their riding.
Several well-trained and safe lesson horses and ponies are available for lessons. I have limited availability to travel around the Syracuse area to teach you on your horse. Truck-ins lessons are also available.
1 hour private lessons – $65
1/2 hour private lessons – $45
Group lessons up to 4 riders – $45 each student
Summer Camp For Kids – inquire for pricing
Adult Summer Camp – inquire for pricing

You Were Wondering: How does implant curb dependency?
How does an implant work to curb opioid dependency?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the first long-acting, subdermal buprenorphine implant for the treatment of opioid dependence. The medicated rods, implanted in a single procedure, are designed to provide an ongoing release of a low dosage of buprenorphine over the span of six months. The implant technology is approved for a specific subset of patients who are already clinically stable for at least six months on other approved buprenorphine delivery systems, including moderate doses of buprenorphine tablets or films. Buprenorphine is a medicine currently approved to treat opioid use disorder and is available as a buccal tablet or a film placed under the tongue or against the inside of the cheek, both requiring self-administration by patients on a daily basis. The newly approved implantable form of buprenorphine, called Probuphine, is placed under the skin in the upper arm in an out-patient setting, and removed in a similar manner at the end of the treatment period.

Whether you're using the desktop or mobile app, Teams will automatically apply Noise Suppression to your calls in an attempt to focus on your voice. However, if you use the desktop app you can go one step further by enabling different levels of noise cancellation depending on the level of noise around you. To changing Noise Suppression from Automatic to be either Low or High, or disabling it completely.
Enable Noise Cancellation on a Microsoft Teams Meeting by clicking on the ellipsis icon in the main menu. Choose Device Settings and click on the little arrow next to noise suppression to expand the options. Choose between auto, low or high, or you can turn off noise suppression completely.
How to Remove Background Noise in Microsoft Teams
While Microsoft Teams does automatically apply noise suppression in both its mobile and desktop app, the mobile app doesn't offer the additional low and high settings as found on the desktop app. In fact on the Teams mobile app there aren't any options to change the automatic noise suppression applied to a call. The only option available is to mute your audio altogether.
So whilst noise suppression is enabled by default, if you manually wish to adjust the setting in in the desktop app, these are the steps.
1. Start a Microsoft Teams meeting.
2. Click on the Ellipsis icon from the top main menu.
3. Choose Device Settings.
4. Expand out the noise suppression option.
5. Choose between auto, low or high.
6. Or disable noise suppression completely.
If you're not happy with Microsoft Team's ability to remove background noise, then it might be worth trying an alternative app. For this, I recommend a great little app called Krisp.
What is Krisp.ai?
Krisp.ai works by applying noise suppression A.I. to your default microphone. It works on both Windows and Mac and has a free tier to its pricing structure which caps out at 2 hours of audio per week, after which you'll need to pay. Krisp works on Teams, Zoom, and Google Meets.
How to use Krisp.ai to remove background noise in Microsoft Teams?
To start using Krisp, browse to Krisp.ai and click on Get Krisp for Free. You'll be asked to provide an email address and you'll receive a verification code. Download the app for either Windows or Mac and install it in the usual way. Once installed, Krisp adds an icon to the system tray in Windows, or the menu bar if you're on a mac. Clicking on 'Get Started' will sign you in to your Krisp account. Krisp then automatically applies noise reduction to your computer's microphone.
If you have more than one microphone installed on your computer, you can select it from the drop-down menu. Having installed Krisp, to enable it in Teams, open up the device settings once more by clicking on the ellipsis icon and now you should see an additional microphone called Krisp.
How to Make Microsoft Teams Quieter?
When you're on a video call, there's every chance you're not the one generating all the background noise. If this is the case, and you find other people's background noise to be too loud, you can make it quieter by using Krisp.
Make Microsoft Teams quieter by clicking on the ellipsis icon in the main menu, and choosing Device Settings. In the device settings menu under Speakers, set your speakers to be Krisp. Krisp will remove the background noise from the audio and amplify people's voices.
How to Turn Off Noise Suppression on a Teams Meeting?
In some instances, the automatic noise suppression setting applied by Microsoft Teams might reduce the quality of your audio, making it more difficult for people to hear what you are saying. This is often the case if you have purchased a quality microphone that already does a good job of isolating your voice from other ambient noise.
To turn off noise suppression in a Microsoft Teams meeting, click on the ellipsis icon in the main menu and choose Device Settings. In the device settings menu expand out the noise suppression option by clicking on the little arrow. Set Noise Suppression to Off.
How To Mute Yourself in Microsoft Teams?
If you wish to mute yourself completely, rather than simply removing background noise, click on the microphone icon in the very top right corner of the window. If you're on mobile, you'll find the microphone icon in the menu running along the bottom of the screen.
Enable Noise Cancellation in Zoom
If like me you alternate between Teams and Zoom depending on who you're speaking to, you might be pleased to know Zoom has similar noise suppression settings to Microsoft Teams.
If you open the Zoom app, click on the Settings icon in the top right corner of the Zoom window, choose Audio from the menu and there you have three levels of noise suppression which you can apply - low medium, or high. Next to each setting, is an explanation of the level of noise each option will remove, with High said to be able able to block out a dog barking in the background.
If you decide to go for high, Zoom will need to download an additional audio enhancement. Unfortunately, as with Teams, these settings are only available in the desktop app. You'll just have to make do with automatic noise suppression in the mobile app.
If you've installed Krisp, then you can use it in Zoom as well, by changing the default microphone to be Krisp.
Final Thoughts
Microsoft Teams does a very good job of automatically trying to remove background noise both in their desktop and mobile app. By default noise suppression is turned on and you don't need to worry about it. However, if you prefer you can adjust this automatic setting in the desktop app by setting the level to either low or high or by turning off noise cancellation completely.

Updated 12/2020
Happy New Year! A fresh start to the year can mean a fresh outlook on health. Here are five ways to make healthier choices the easier (and fun!) thing to do:
- Start at home. Look in your pantry, freezer, and refrigerator. Do you have all five food groups (fruits, vegetables, low fat and fat free dairy, lean protein, whole grains) ready to go? Are tasty, nutritious choices easily accessible? Set up your environment so it's easy to make better choices, even when you are tired. Make your grocery list reflect what you want to accomplish at mealtime.
- Make the (right) time. Whether we admit it or not, it takes time to plan…but it also takes time to figure out what to eat when you don't have a plan. If time isn't spent shopping for groceries or planning meals, time will be spent in search of a meal. How do you want to spend your time?
- Make self care a priority. Taking care of ourselves is important. If you get sick, you can't take care of anyone else, so priority one is you. Do not feel bad or sorry for it. We all get one body. Take care of it the best you can.
- Create a support system. Talk to your inner circle and see where you can work together to support each other's health goals. Swap recipes, walk together (socially distant and/or on the phone) and find other small ways to share in and enjoy new, healthier habits.
- Start now. January 1 is a traditional place to start fresh, but really, it's pretty much always a good time to start making better choices. There may be a few starts and stops along the way, but every day, every meal, and every snack offers the opportunity to make better choices. Make this the year your self care journey becomes your new foundation.
What will you do first?

Monero Price Analysis: Drones Will Be Used To Safeguard The Monero (XMR) Blockchain
The latest version v0.14.1.0 release of Monero (XMR) marks the introduction of Trezor support for the model T. At present, the guide is in command line interface, but a GUI version will be made available soon. Recently, Astral AR, a Texas-based company, specializing in safety drones, and Core Scientific, a blockchain infrastructure and AI firm, announced a partnership with Monero that puts mining software on high-power safety drones. The new venture will be called "Project Palladium." Under the project, Astral AR will use Core Scientific's proprietary software, Minder and MinderOS, to monetize unused processing power on sophisticated safety drones to secure the Monero blockchain.
XMR Current Statistics:
- On June 17, at UTC 10:38, XMR to USD was trading around 98.294 USD.
- Again, Monero vs. Bitcoin was trading at 0.01081157 BTC.
- Additionally, the Market Cap of the XMR coin was 1,661,757,258 USD.
- With an ROI of 3,840.72%, the 24-hrs trading volume in Monero was 209,362,608 USD.
- The total XMR coin circulating in the market were 17,046,745 XMR.
Monero Price Comparison:
25-days back, on May 20, Monero (XMR) was trading at $87.604. Nevertheless, from there, the coin showed growth by a huge margin of 12.2%. Similarly, in the weekly chart, the crypto was moving up and made a jump of 13.85% from the trading price of 86.48 USD on June 10.
Monero Price Prediction:
As per our CryptoNewsZ's Monero Price Prediction, Monero might cross the $100 mark in the next few days if this bullish trend continues. Additionally, there is a support level at $88, and a revised short-term resistance at $95. We wanted to revise our long term prediction for the coin, which was $100 by the EOY, but this bull run might be a short term spike and will access the new long term target after the market correction.
At present, the market is filled with positive sentiments, and that can be observed in most of the cryptocurrencies. But, for how long this will persist is the bigger question. With that said, be sure of one thing, which is that the Monero Foundation is making a number of structural and fundamental changes which ultimately will strengthen the blockchain in the long run.

My dear one,
don't let them dull your glow.
Not everybody can stand
the sight of bright sunlight
or a thousand comets racing
through night's sky.
And you are the sun
and the moon at its fullest
blazing so bright – –
it comes into your window at night,
waking you with its force.
And you my dear one,
(yes you)
you are a force to be reckoned.
So do not let them pull
your down or take from you
your birthright – –
which was given to you
to claim your space
and shine the full force
of your gorgeous heartlight.

California Chrome-Aussieraces.com
I spent much of May and June this year exploring the wonders of the east coast of the USA - including the thoroughbred racing scene. During that time a wonder horse called California Chrome lit up the American racing world like no other galloper has in decades. Horse racing in the USA has a long and rich history. The first racetrack was constructed in 1665 on Long Island in present day New York over one hundred years before Captain Cook and his crew became the first Europeans to sight the eastern coast of Australia.
In the United States, thoroughbred races are run on surfaces of either dirt, synthetic or turf. The famed Triple Crown events, the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes are all run on dirt tracks. In a golden era of American racing during the 1970s, three great horses won the Triple Crown Secretariat (1973), Seattle Slew (1977) and Affirmed (1978). Since that time the crown has gone unclaimed. In the ensuing 36 years racing has for the most part been in the doldrums.
As a sign of the poor condition of the industry, the majority of off track betting shops in New York were closed in late 2010 because they were unprofitable. December 2013 saw the end of an era when the famous Hollywood Park racetrack in California was closed to make way for land uses that would provide the owners with better returns - housing units and an entertainment venue.
Enter California Chrome - a horse stabled near the HollywoodPark track and with movie star looks to match. Even a script writer would be hard pressed to dream up the scenario that launched this flashy youngster onto the racing stage. How about this? - A $2,500 mare named Love The Chase nearly dies giving birth to a chestnut colt. The mare is nursed back to health in her stall and all the while her growing colt is beside her, lapping up the care, love and attention being bestowed upon them.
Owner Steve Coburn, who works as a press operator in a factory and his co-owners (wife Carolyn and Perry and Denise Martin) put the youngster in the care of an old school 77 year old trainer Art Sherman who has never had a Kentucky Derby runner. They then engage jockey, Victor Espinosa, the son of a poor Mexican goat farmer to ride the horse. Together they hatch a plan for their steed to take on the blue bloods of the racing world and to win the Kentucky Derby, worth a cool $2.2 million.
That last day at the HollywoodPark racetrack also heralded the start of something exciting and new for at that final meeting at the course California Chrome, which had been unplaced at its previous two starts, came out and won the Listed King Glorious Stakes in dominant fashion by over 6 lengths. Then followed a victory in the Listed California Cup Derby by 5.5 lengths, a jaw dropping 7.5 length win in the Grade 2 San Filipe Stakes and success in the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby where he blew his rivals away to score by 5.25 lengths.
Suddenly the racing and the wider world were taking notice. An offer of $10 million was reportedly made for the horse prior to the Kentucky Derby. It was turned down. The American public soon became hungry for any news they could get about this underdog which took on the big guys and beat them - a horse from modest beginnings which had risen to great heights, which represented hope, grand possibilities and even the realization of the American Dream. As co-owner Denise Martin commented after the Santa Anita Derby win, Hes not our horse anymore hes the peoples horse.
Hes not our horse anymore hes the peoples horse.
(Owner Denise Martin)
The first leg of the Triple Crown, the Kentucky Derby was run at Churchill Downs in the first week of May. A near record crowd of 164,906 racing fans flocked to the course with the hope of witnessing something special. That day California Chrome made an indelible impression on the minds of American racing followers when his jockey Victor Espinoza shot the horse five lengths clear of his 18 rivals in the home stretch before easing him down to win easily by just under two.
Now he was the peoples' horse, the media reported California Chrome's every move. When he was noticed coughing after a track gallop prior to running in the Preakness Stakes, speculation became rife that the horse was not well and soon Throat Gate was being discussed everywhere.
Lining up for the Preakness Stakes, the second leg of the Triple Crown, run at Pimlico racecourse in Baltimore, the horse was aiming for his sixth victory in succession. And win he did - fending off the challengers to take out the 139thrunning of the $1.5 million event. By now California Chrome had captured the imagination of the nation. Songs were soon being written about him, fan clubs were formed and marketing deals were done - one of them promotingSketchers shoes (I even bought a pair of the shoes after all they were endorsed by a great horse!).
After the Preakness Stakes victory, in the three weeks leading up to the third and final leg of the Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes, the American media went into a frenzy over California Chrome. Newspapers such as the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA today, the New York Post and others all featured stories about the horse on their front as well as back pages. NBC, CNN and other television networks highlighted the horse in their breakfast programs, talk shows, and nightly news services. People who didnt know one end of a horse from the other discussed California Chrome and his winning chances.
When it became apparent that California Chrome wore a nasal strip to assist his breathing in races, but that they were banned by the New York Racing Association, the NYRA changed the rules to ensure the horse would line up in the final leg of the Triple Crown, the $1.5 million Belmont Stakes in New York.
On Saturday, June 7th, with the hopes of the nation riding on him to become the first horse in nearly four decades to take out the Triple Crown, California Chrome headed to BelmontPark racetrack. That day cab drivers, shop assistants, people on street - just about everybody wanted to talk about and talk up California Chromes chances of completing his quest for the Holy Grail. By mid afternoon 102,199 people had battled two hour traffic jams, crowded trains and buses to see history in the making at BelmontPark the largest dirt thoroughbred racetrack in the world.
This horse was sent down from the heavens to us
(Owner Steve Coburn).
As the field jumped in the Belmont Stakes jockey Victor Espinosa already felt that something wasnt right. He wasn't to know that Matterhorn, the horse in the adjoining stall to California Chrome, had accidentally stepped on the horses right front heel as they jumped, taking out tissue, cutting the tendon slightly and drawing blood. Despite the significant injury, California Chrome tried his heart out, looming up wide to the leaders 300 metres from home and momentarily looking a winning chance before succumbing to his injury in the final tense, high pressure moments of the event. The three year old exhausted, covered in sweat and with blood flowing from his heel headed back to the mounting yard having given his all - and then some. California Chrome officially finished a dead heat for fourth in the race behind the 9/1 winner Tonalist.
Once the final result became apparent, tens of thousands of people in the grandstands and down on the grass sat or stood in eerie silence. There was a feeling in the crowd that something wasnt quite right. What may have been, hopes and dreams had faded. Shortly afterwards, as a group they began to move towards the exit gates. Ahead of them was a solemn, reflective drive back into Queens or along the Cross Island Parkway to Manhattan. For those heading home on the packed buses and train carriages, the conversations were even more muted than usual.
What those 102,000 plus racegoers didn't know at the time, was that California Chrome had run the entire 2400 metre journey of the Belmont Stakes with a serious injury, and that they may have just witnessed his bravest performance yet a heroic effort that will only add to his legend.
California Chrome is presently having a well earned farm rest and is to be prepared for a tilt at the richest race in the United States, the $5 million Breeders Cup in November 2014 at Santa Anita Park - the scene of some of his biggest wins.

With spring practice underway, there is a quarterback competition taking center stage in Austin. Casey Thompson and Hudson Card are squaring off to be the starter on Sept. 4 against Louisiana.
If Thompson ends up winning, another No. 11 will be the starting quarterback for the University of Texas.
After wearing No. 8 his first three seasons on campus, Thompson decided to switch his jersey number. He will follow Sam Ehlinger, one of the greatest Texas quarterbacks of all time. It seems weird to have another No. 11 quarterback just after Ehlinger's departure for the NFL.
Texas football announced the number change via Instagram on Tuesday.
The quarterback competition is now between No. 1 and No. 11. With spring practice underway for the first time under Steve Sarkisian, it will be the most discussed story for seven months. Thompson comes in as the favorite to win, but Card certainly has an opportunity to overtake him.
As of now, no other player has taken Thompson's No. 8. Punter Ryan Bujcevski, who is out of spring practice with an ACL injury, sports it for the special teams unit. No one wears it on the defensive side of the ball.

The New Engalnd Patriots have announced the signing the 1st round draft pick (29th overall) Dominique Easley.
#Patriots 1st round DL Dominique Easley signed a 4-year, $7.3M contract with a $3.63M signing bonus, source said. 80% of it is guaranteed.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) June 23, 2014
Easley suffered from two ACL tears in college at Florida. The first occurred in November of 2011, and Easley recovered well from the injury.
After his 2011 tear, the standout lineman not only returned for the 2012 season, but he played in and started 11 games—including the first game of the year in September.
In other words, he underwent surgery and completed his rehab in just over nine months—a very respectable timetable by anyone's standards.
The more recent ACL injury happened just over eight months ago, and Easley was a limited participant in mini-camp last week.
It has been speculated that the delay in signing the rookie was due to parts of the contract dealing with his more recent injury. With Easley now under contract, all of the rookies are signed well before training camp.
Dominique Easley was a dynamic play maker for Florida and could be used in a number of defensive fronts if healthy.

My name is Doug and I guess you can tell by my blog name that I like to knit things for men. So the title is descriptive of what I do (knit for bears) and what I make (knits for bears). When I say "bears", I mean husky, burly, furry men... not teddy bears (although I do make outfits for teddy bears too). Of course, a little lace happens along the way.

This is the Handsome Triangle Shawl from Victorian Lace Today. The yarn is gossamer from Knitpicks and the color is called Red Hat.
And last the Muir shawl from Knitty in Kidsilk Haze in the color fern. I'm enjoying this pattern more and more as I get used to the pattern repeat. One and a half down, eleven and a half to go, on the first side. (I didn't realize, until I read the entire pattern, that this isn't worked from the center out. I thought there would be a total of 26 repeats. It's worked from end to end with only 13 repeats. I'm now on the 7th repeat)

Just finished my own BSJ, my first. Photos to come this week. Wasn't too happy with the finishing, but my great-nephew, who was born the day after I finished, won't be complaining about it.

Beautiful lace projects!!! Can't wait to see them in person. Hope you still have them when I get back. With your knitting speed I am not so sure!ReplyDelete

My journal without a creative name
Elite333 posted a topic in Daily JournalsHi everyone, this is going to be my journal of the 90 days detox. It is going to be extremely bad at worst and sarcastic at best. Here's my day 1, which hasn't even started yet, because it's 2:34 am. Well, let's call it day 0. Day 0 Today I decided to quit gaming forever. It would seem a hopeless cause to many, but, even though I'm a pessimist, I can feel this try is going to be different. I know I can do it. And that is what I'm grateful for. My cat is making loud meowy noises and wants to scratch the window through the curtain. Gotta give her some love.
Hi, Game Quitters!
Elite333 posted a topic in Start Here & IntroductionHi everyone, I'm new here! I'm a 22 years old guy from Hungary, and I've had enough. Enough of wasting ALL my time on gaming that doesn't benefit me neither short or long term (I know that gaming DOES have some benefits regarding brain activity, but I'm way past that). I've had enough of distancing myself from my family, my girlfriend, my cat (!) and my real life friends in favor of gaming all day and all night. I've had enough of not being up to par in my university studies, and I've sure as hell had enough of raging because of some stupid game. I basically gamed through my entire life, I remember having played Medal of Honor Underground back when I still went to kindergarten... jeez. I played all kinds of single player games and I loved those the most that had great storytelling. I also played Team Fortress 2 and CSGO competitively, always trying to be better, and wasting all my time in the process. I basically became one with my gaming avatar. (And I was still average at multiplayer games). Weirdly, the game I loved most, ever, was Undertale. I had so many latent ambitions and goals and dreams, but they were always suppressed by the urge to play some more. I neglected everything around me and felt shameful about it, even hated myself about it. Even hated the world about it, because it seemed so unfair. That some people achieve so much while I struggle to even stop playing for a day... Even worse, I love everything about video games, it sometimes is one of the greatest art form in my mind. Basically all the internet content I consume is about gaming or creating games. Still, it is time to change, and I will try to do a 180° and put my life in the right direction. If you managed to read through this, maybe leave a comment or something, and have a nice day! And if you haven't read this, have a nice day anyway. Or night.

The Big Ten came back into the fold this week, as it reversed its decision to postpone the fall college football season. Now, the league is eying a start date of Oct. 24, with the conference championship game scheduled for Dec. 19.
Presumably, this would be in time for the conference's champion to be considered for a position in the College Football Playoff.
On Sunday, ESPN released updated playoff and New Year's Six Bowl predictions to reflect the Big Ten's return.
With the league back in contention, ESPN's Kyle Bonagura and Mark Schlabach no longer are predicting a Florida run to the playoffs. Now, though their seeding is different, they agree on a CFP field consisting of Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma and Ohio State, each the favorite to win their respective conference.
College Football Playoff
College Football Playoff National Championship
Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, Florida
Jan. 11, ESPN
Bonagura: Clemson vs. Alabama
Schlabach: Clemson vs. Alabama
College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Rose Bowl

Jan. 1, ESPN
Bonagura: Alabama vs. Ohio State
Schlabach: Clemson vs. Oklahoma
College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Allstate Sugar Bowl
Mercedes-Benz Superdome, New Orleans
Jan. 1, ESPN
Bonagura: Clemson vs. Oklahoma
Schlabach: Alabama vs. Ohio State
They also both agree on the Gators' new postseason destination: a return trip to the Orange Bowl to face off against Notre Dame, who is competing in the ACC this year. UF defeated Virginia in 2019's Orange Bowl 36-28.
Here are the full New Year's Six predictions.
Cotton, Peach, Fiesta and Orange Bowls
Goodyear Cotton Bowl
AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas
Bonagura: Penn State vs. Texas A&M

Chipmaker Broadcom said on Thursday it has entered into two multi-year agreements with Apple for the supply of wireless components used in its products. The agreements, "2020 SOWs", are in addition to the existing ones for supplying radio frequency components and modules to the iPhone maker and together could generate as much as $15 billion in revenue for Broadcom.
Broadcom revealed the deal in a filing with US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It is unclear exactly what the company will be supplying to Apple. It already sells several components to Apple, including radio frequency chips that allow iPhones, iPads and Apple Watches to connect to wireless networks, as well as other components that let Apple's devices connect to Wi-Fi networks, CNET reported.
Shares of the chipmaker rose 2 percent in extended trading.
According to a report by Bloomberg, Broadcom put its radio frequency chip unit up for sale last year. Thursday's disclosure lets potential acquirers know that they're buying into a substantial business relationship with Cupertino, California-based Apple.
Meanwhile, Apple is preparing to reportedly launch a new low-cost iPhone model in March this year, in addition to three fresh iPhone models in late-2020. The new low-cost iPhone will succeed the iPhone SE that debuted back in 2016.
