Suzanne Barr, a longtime aide to Janet Napolitano, has resigned her post as chief of staff of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement bureau over sexual-harassment allegations.
Barr is the daughter of the late Burton Barr, a Republican who served in the Arizona Legislature for more than 20 years. Napolitano, as Arizona's Democratic governor, hired Barr -- a University of Arizona graduate -- in 2004. Barr had previously worked for Republican Arizona Senators John McCain and Jon Kyl.

She was a favorite of Napolitano's and moved with her to Washington D.C. after Napolitano abandoned Arizona to take the job as Homeland Security Security in January of 2009 offered to her by President Obama.
A lawsuit filed last month by James Hayes Jr., the special agent in charge of New York's ICE investigations, accused Barr of creating a sexually charged, "frat-house" atmosphere in the workplace.
According to a lawsuit by an ICE supervisor, Suzanne Barr cultivated a "frat house" atmosphere at the agency.

Barr allegedly moved the office contents of three male employees to a bathroom soon after taking her job as ICE chief of staff, the lawsuit states. Numerous escapades followed. For instance, Barr supposedly swiped one employee's Blackberry and sent a message to his supervisor saying "he" had sexual fantasies about her.
Hayes claimed Barr made comments about the penis length of one employee, and called another employee with the demand that she needed to have "his cock in the back of [her] throat."
The purported party animal went on voluntary leave after Hayes filed his lawsuit.
Barr resigned yesterday after sending a letter to ICE boss John Morton that was obtained by the Associated Press.
In the letter, Barr said the accusations against her were "unfounded," but that she was resigning "with great regret" to protect the agency's reputation.
"I feel it is incumbent upon me to take every step necessary to prevent further harm to the agency and to prevent this from further distracting from our critical work," she wrote.
No word on whether Napolitano planned to resign, too. However, as the scandal was swirling at ICE, the former governor told the Arizona Republic last month that she was considering coming back to Arizona.
Hayes Jr.'s lawsuit also targeted another Napolitano appointee and friend, former Arizona Department of Corrections director Dora Schriro, whom Hayes said wasn't qualified for her job as special advisor on immigrant-removal procedures.

The executive council of the Pakistan Cricket Board said yesterday that Wasim would have complete autonomy on team tactics and planning and would be part of the selection committee along with his team manager Zafar Altaf.
"He [Wasim] will decide team strategy and team planning," Nusrat Azeem, the PCB spokesman, said after a meeting which accepted the surprise resignation of the coach Javed Miandad, who quit 11 days ago.
Azeem said that Javed would not be replaced and that the team would play in the World Cup with only Pybus as assistant coach. "He [Pybus] will only assist the captain and manager, but he will not be part of team selection," Azeem said. "Miandad's resignation was accepted in the better interest of the team's future prospects. The council accepted his resignation with a heavy heart." Javed stunned the cricket world on 21 April when he resigned, citing "family commitments".
However, Javed yesterday confirmed local media reports that he had a confrontation with senior players during last month's Sharjah Cup. Newspapers said Javed had accused the players of deliberately playing below par in the match against England, which Pakistan lost by 62 runs.
Javed said he resigned because he felt he would be ousted before the World Cup at the insistence of the players. "And my point has been proved because the council accepted my resignation without even contacting me to find out the actual facts," Javed said. "If the players don't want me, how can I extract the best out of them. So I decided to quit and allow the players to give their best and regain the title."
n Steve Bull, the sports psychologist, will help England prepare over the next fortnight to cope with the pressures they are likely to experience as host nation in the World Cup. All 15 players and the various members of the back-up team reported to their Canterbury training base last night to begin an intensive programme, which includes warm-up matches against Kent, Essex and Hampshire, leading up to the opening match of the tournament against the holders, Sri Lanka, at Lord's on 14 May.

Wisconsin State Flower is definitely a popular choice, as several other States ratified it as well for their State Flower. States like New Jersey with the Common Violet as their State Flower or Rhode Island, the Common Blue Violet, and Illinois, with the plain old Violet. Although the other States might have ratified cousins or relatives of the Wisconsin State Flower, the Wood Violet definitely won the hearts of school children in Wisconsin. So despite the popularity of the Violet, in the end its regal appearance is what really made these States choose this flower.
The Wood Violet, botanist named Viola Papilionacea, was picked after a close race. The voting took place in Wisconsin back on Arbor Day in nineteen hundred and nine. It was left up to the children to decide which flower they wanted to represent their state. The Wood Violet was not the only flower on trial that day, but as well the Wild Rose, the White Water Lily, and Trailing Arbutus. In the end the dainty little Wood Violet won the vote and it wasn't until June fourth of nineteen hundred and forty nine that it became the official Wisconsin State Flower.
This small and common flower is usually found growing in meadow areas, in wet forest areas, and even beside the road. You can find these elegant flowers blooming early in the spring and they don't stop blooming until near the end of fall. A fun fact about the Wood Violet is that the leaves are nutritious to eat. The leaves of the flower contain vitamins A and C. And since the leaves are so tasty, people have used them in jellies, candies and even salads. Some people believe that the leaf contains antioxidants, so they are made into herbal teas that are used in China as medicine. Leaves of the Wood Violet are heart shaped and held by a long stem. The Wood Violet is an herb plant and its stem is thick and strong. Note that the leaves and the stem are on separate stalks, unlike other flowering plants that leaves and stem are unison. Now the petals of the Wisconsin State Flower come in several rich colors of deep blue or deep purple, violet, and occasionally a white with almost a bluish imprint to them. The flower has five petals altogether and the flower grows on its own stem. And of course these beautiful flowers are very popular in the eastern side of the United States. Other strange facts are that some types of the Violets are used in perfumes.
With three other States sporting the various kinds of Violets as their State Flowers, Wisconsin wasn't scared off by the popularity of the flower. Instead make their own mark on history they carefully selected the Wood Violet as their State Flower. This flower which can be eaten or enjoyed as medicine is quite the hit in the United States. Violets are wonderfully fragrant, regal, and perfect choice for the Wisconsin State Flower.

This is a continuation of copending application Ser. No. 07/693,257, filed on Apr. 29, 1991 now U.S. Pat. No. 5,145,391.
This invention relates to switches and more particularly to a normally open switch incorporated in a connector assembly. Still more particularly, the invention relates to a switch for a connector assembly which is suitable for automotive use.
Many current automotive connector applications utilize a switching device to warn the driver, as by energizing a warning light, of an inadvertent and/or accidental disengagement of the connector. Such a device, for example, could be employed in the connector assembly for an automatic braking system. These devices currently use relays and transistors and add to the cost and complexity of the system.
It is, therefore, an object of the invention to obviate the disadvantages of the prior art.
It is another object of the invention to enhance connector switches.
Yet another object of the invention is the provision of a simple switch.
Another object of the invention is the provision of an economical switch.
These objects are accomplished, in one aspect of the invention, by the provision of a switch element which comprises an electrically conductive, annular body having oppositely disposed, transversely projecting arms each including a reentrant portion and a terminal portion. The body further includes retention means.
The switch element can be disposed in one part of a connector housing with the terminal portions of the arms in contact with electrical conductors leading to a signalling circuit. Another part of a connector housing mates with the one part and includes means for disengaging the arms from the electrical conductors. The two connector parts, or housings, are suitably fixed together, thus breaking the signalling circuit. In the event that the connector housings separate, the spring action of the arms will cause the arms to engage the electrical conductors, energizing the warning circuit, and alerting the driver.
The extreme simplicity of the switch means and its great economy provide a distinct advance in the art.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a switch element in accordance with an embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is an elevational, sectional view of a connector housing including schematic circuit means;
FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2 with the connectors housings mated.
For a better understanding of the present invention, together with other and further objects, advantages and capabilities thereof, reference is made to the following disclosure and appended claims taken in conjunction with the above-described drawings.
Referring now to the drawings with greater particularity, there is shown in FIG. 1 a switch element 10 having an electrically conductive, annular body 12 having oppositely disposed, transversely projecting arms 14a and 14b. The arms 14a and 14b include reentrant portions 16a and 16b and terminal portions 18a and b. Retention means 20 are formed on the body 12. As illustrated, the retention means 20 comprise substantially triangular projections 22 formed on the periphery 24 of body 12. Other forms of retention means can be employed, depending upon the end use of the switch. The preferred material for the switch body is stainless steel, 0.4 mm thick.
Referring to FIG. 2, there is shown a connector assembly 30 having a first housing 32 containing a plurality of electrical contacts 34. Two of the electrical contacts, for example, 34a and 34b, form a part of a circuit 36 which includes a warning light 38. Switch 10 is fixed in a boss 39 located between electrical contacts 34a and 34b. In the closed and energized position of switch 10, terminal 18a is in engagement with contact 34a and terminal 18b is in engagement with contact 34b. Housing joining means 40, which can be in the form of a fixed, threaded stud 42, is shown extending through an aperture in switch body 12; however, this is exemplary only, and any suitable housing joining means can be employed.
FIG. 3 illustrates a second housing 44 in fixed engagement with the first housing 32 and held in position by threaded nut 46. The second housing 44 includes switch opening means 48 which can be in the form of projecting limbs 50a and 50b, which engage terminals 18a and 18b, respectively, and maintain the switch 10 in an open position and interrupt power to warning light 38.
Therefore, the latter condition exists so long as the second housing remains mated to the first housing. Should separation occur, terminals 18a and 18b will spring outwardly, engaging electrical contact 34a and 34b and closing circuit 36, thereby energizing warning light 38.
This simple system eliminates the previously employed relays and transistors and greatly reduces the cost.
While there have been shown and described what are at present considered to be the preferred embodiments of the invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made herein without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Enough what? Well, enough advertised product. Product that my company advertises. Product that I knowingly price to optimize profits using a combination of past information (your past information), competitive information, and math.
To make matters worse, my company isn't some cute boutique, or even a chain that's trying to stick it to the man. No, I'm a marketer for a mass merchandiser.
Any rant about marketing is in fact the world's most hypocritical rant, and today, you are in for a treat!
Please stop asking me if I want a HELOC
I've also heard of these relics called checks, but I haven't used seen one since 2002.
As it turns out, we had no way to access the requisite amount from our account. To clarify, we had the cash, but neither my debit nor my credit card had a high enough single transaction limit. Which is why I called my trusty bank, on a Saturday, to raise my single transaction limit to $6K. Anytime I request that my limit be raised, I feel the need to justify my actions to the teller, so I explained that we were renovating our home.
Big mistake.
Apparently big bank customer service reps must launch into the various merits of a HELOC anytime the word renovation is mentioned, and masochist that I am, I didn't cut off the rep as she waxed poetic about initiation fees, service fees, and how long I could keep it open with a zero balance.
As my toddler screeched about various plane sounds (Prop plane goes, Huk, huk, huk whirrr! Whirr!), I listened for a chance to ask if my debit limit was raised. Finally, I got a word in.
"Did you raise my limit?"
"Yes ma'am, we did."
"Okay, thanks, gotta go bye."
I hung up the phone and asked my husband how he felt about a HELOC even though he has an even stronger anti-debt stance than I have.
I hate marketers because I'm susceptible to marketing
My husband, to his credit, went all Dave Ramsey on me. "Why would we use debt in the event of an emergency? That's why we have money, and investments, and assets to sell? What kind of emergency could we have that costs more than the amount we have."
He was right, and I felt dumb. Why would I ever ask my husband if he wanted a HELOC? Why would I want a HELOC myself?
Because I am a sucker.
Marketers say that a sucker is born every minute, and I'm always the sucker (except when I am the marketer). When I'm in a bar, my friends can always guess which beer I will buy because it will be the most prominently advertised beer. I see #AllDayBreakfast, and I immediately plan a 10:35 McMuffin run.
I want to ask marketers to stop marketing and sales people to stop selling, but I don't think we're going anywhere. There are just too many suckers with too much money. I want to develop some steely tolerance to advertising, but I can't do that either. If knowledge of marketing tactics won't help, I don't know what will.
The only solutions I see to my problem are total avoidance (a permananent trip to the woods), or a budget. Now that I'm in the habit of creating a budget every month, I have the power to defer purchases until such a time as I'm thinking clearly about all my various spending and investing goals. For me, the budget is unparalleled in creating personal boundaries against the evil marketers who are out to get my wallet share.
So this holiday season, feel free to rant about marketers and the inundation of commercialism everywhere, but remember, if you're a sucker like me, then it's your fault, and also my fault for advertising to you.
Sorry you're a sucker. I'm sorry that I'm a good marketer because I'm a sucker. Maybe we should just #OptOutside, oh wait that's an advertising campaign too.

First time escape room experience and loved it. The scenario was unique and fun and so well thought out. Great idea for couples, friends or as a team building exercise. Katherine was a great hostess, too. Will definitely be back to do the others!
We just completed the mine escape as a pair, the puzzles were challenging but really good fun. Left us wanting to try another room immediately

So, Michael Hutchings, how are you going to handle your two days off -- Thursday and Friday -- this bye week?
"Probably resting," the smart senior linebacker who was allowed to call some defenses on his own the other day at practice just to see how he did. "It's only two days."
And it's only a respite from on-field work that will be made up when Saturday and Sunday practices replace the normal Monday and Tuesday schedule with Cal coming up Thursday at the Coliseum (7:30 p.m., ESPN).
"We'll still go in and watch film," Hutchings said, "a bunch of guys are always in the film room, that's how you stay ahead next week and the rest of the season.""
For Michael who has been playing in a harness for a separated shoulder, that helps too. "It keeps me in line," he said of the strap and harness that held his right arm in place for the Arizona game after a non-contact week last week. "It just limits my range of motion," he says. He couldn't pitch for the Dodgers but he can still play linebacker.
"He's really excited about the progress he's made," said defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast of Hutchings, whose four tackles including a sack were second-best for USC Saturday in Arizona in his less than three quarters of playing time.
Serious time for the young guys
Senior Chris Hawkins was another serious voice in the bye week with some advice for the younger guys getting more of a chance to show what they can do. What they put on film in those minutes for the coaches is the key, Chris said. . . "Film doesn't lie . . . this is important."
And no, he's not heading out to Universal City with some of his teammates. "I don't have Universal money," Chris said. "I'm going to spend two days watching film. That Cal quarterback [Davis Webb] is really good. He gets the ball out really fast. We've been keeping time on him."
His time this week will be doing some mentoring for the young guys "the way Josh Shaw and Kevon Seymour did for me," He's got good things to say about the likes of Ykili Ross and Isaiah Langley, who have been getting close, and first-year guys like Pie Young and Jack Jones, just getting their first taste of it.
"Pie didn't get beat [at Arizona] when he was in there and Jack got a PBU [pass breakup]," Chris said. "When the plays come to you, you have to make them."
And you have to play fast. "I haven't been on a team that's played this fast," Chris said of the way the USC secondary is performing now. It was a matter of necessity and realization. "The losses helped us, losing three of the first four."
Baxter . . . on being back
After Wednesday's practice, special teams guru John Baxter looked around at the Cromwell Field surroundings in the middle of the USC campus. "This is why I'm here," he said. "Look at this environment to work in," after a year working for Jim Harbaugh's new staff at Michigan.
"One of the hardest calls I had to make," Clay Helton said of last year when after taking the USC job, he had to ask Harbaugh permission to take away one of his coaches on the staff he was trying to build at Michigan. And now Helton was trying to bring back his own good friend and very good coach to USC. He said Harbaugh could not have been more gracious.
Maybe he understood what Helton knew. "He loves California," Clay said of Baxter, who had been here as an assistant for Lane Kiffin, Ed Orgeron and Clay, "and he knows how special this place is."
It's pretty special for Baxter right now after the way his two kickers -- punter Chris Tilbey with four punts and kickoff specialist Matt Boermeester with eight kicks -- put the ball in play 12 times Saturday at Arizona and the result? "Zero return yards," Clay said.
"He was pretty happy," he said of Baxter, "after the amount of time he's put in with those two."
Indeed. But that's not the only time Baxter has put in. Last week, it was noted how much time USC spent getting ready for whatever Arizona might do only to have the Wildcats open with a pooch kickoff, then kick it deep, then punt it high and short, then long and far and even a 23-yard line drive rugby punt.
"We were ready for them, weren't we," Baxter said. When you have Adoree' Jackson deep now, you'd better be. Teams do not want to kick it to him. Clay Helton noted that with his comment after practice about what he'd just told Adoree'.
"I said if they won't kick it to you maybe we should hand it to you," Clay said. Although with a high-octane offense like Cal, that's run more than 100 plays in a game, you have to be a bit careful adding to the workload of your top defender, Clay said.
Wednesday footnoted
Players who stood out in the developmental work: Matt Fink, Velus Jones, Michael Pittman, Oluwole Betiku, Liam Jimmons, Jordan Iosefa were just those we could pick up from the sidelines . . . Justin Davis was walking better in his boot Wednesday than Tuesday so he's getting closer. Probably not back for the Cal game but we'll see . . . three players held out Wednesday: Jordan Simmons (knee tendinitis), Leon McQuay (groin) and Boodah Tucker (knee) were at practice but won't participate until this weekend when practice moves from Cromwell Field back to Howard Jones where the grass has undergone some midseason care and looks ready for the final half of the season . . .

Life is full of lessons to learn and indeed it's an amazing realisation that each day brings a unique opportunity to grow. There are numerous books and articles that teach various techniques and methods for leading a meaningful life. It is therefore rather difficult to select the most crucial principles of happy living. However, the 10 lessons given here may very well be what most successful people often follow.
1. Avoid stress: Let go of stress because increased stress simply leads to wrong decisions. Take rest if required rather than push your limits unduly.
2. Practice gratitude: Live a life with an attitude of gratitude always.
3. Appreciate little joys of life: Appreciate the small and beautiful gifts of life rather than the bigger one. A bright sunny day, raindrops in the garden or anything else that make you wonder about the beauty of existence.
4. Learn to accept: Acceptance is a very difficult task but when practiced it's the essence of life.
5. Focus on fitness: Challenge yourself to a physical mission. Participate in a marathon, ride the cycle, go kayaking, hiking or anything else.
6. Give back to nature: Always and each time give back to nature and the environment in any way possible.
7. Help the less fortunate: Do something for the underprivileged in a small way but with a sincere consciousness.
8. Read inspiring books: Books can open a whole new world for us. Read books that inspire your thoughts and help you channel your positivity.
9. Spend time with family: A harmonious family life can go a long way in adding meaning to your life. Spend quality time with family and see yourself grow immensely.
10. Value the present moment: Appreciate your present life & existence since it's the seed that will germinate the future.
In the rush and tumble that comes with modern living, it becomes very important to find ways to live meaningfully. Aspiring to that and taking concrete steps towards that goal will give you a sense of wellbeing that very few other things can. Follow these steps to live a better, wiser and a more well-rounded life.

gold crown on the dashboard of their car - I had to look that one up.
Perhaps someone could explain why it's called Moonlight, too. I was clearly in a minority; everyone else who watched it with me was more touched by it than I was. I actually preferred La La Land, which most people seem to have hated.

Review of 'The Big Short'
Not helped by the fact that it's really hard to tell who is who - apart from the really florid Asperger-inflected character and the one with anger management issues, and the two jock kids, they all look similar. Not clear who is working for which institution, or about the conflicts of interest within the big banks.
On the plus side it did manage to show that finance isn't separate from the real world - we get to see the families whose houses are repossessed, and there is some talk about the impact on the 'real' economy.
One of the things that made me so angry reading the book was the way that the heroes - the big shorters - made a lot of money, but nothing bad happened to the people who so carelessly created the opportunity for them to do so. The big stupids lost their companies billions, and none of them are sleeping rough. I didn't get that from the film.

Review of Versus: The Life and Films of Ken Loach
I'd forgotten, if I'd ever known, that Loach was responsible for The Big Flame, a Liverpool film that inspired the inception of the 'Libertarian Marxist' organisation that I hung around in the early 1980s.
There's quite a long section on the 'Perdition' affair, and no sign that anyone learned anything from it. At the time I rather uncomfortably assumed that people who I otherwise admired were contaminated with anti-semitism. I have a rather more nuanced view now, not least because of a rather good documentary about the Kastner affair on which Perdition, and the earlier right wing Zionist 'Perfidy', were based. But I still feel uncomfortable about the stance and the tone of Jim Allen's diatribe against Zionism.
A few observations: Loach appears to feel no irony at being an engaged Marxist on the side of the really poor and wretched, and being lauded by the luvvies at Cannes; and the film has an odd slip into regular luvvie bio-pic with an account of his early career as an actor, complete with dressing-room shots etc. And didn't everyone smoke a lot!

Review of 'La La Land'
It's a film about dreams, but maybe the characters don't stay true to their dreams, and maybe it isn't so important to do that. I think that's the thing that chimed with me at this moment - what if I was able to pursue my own dreams? Is it really what I want to do, or just a thought to distract me from what I am doing at the moment?
Seb (Ryan Gosling's character) has a dream of having his own Jazz club that will be really true to the spirit of the music, but he seems to abandon the dream for a steady job playing in a band that gets recording and touring contracts. It isn't his dream...but maybe the dream is just something you need to help you get through the drudgery of everyday life (earlier, he's a jobbing musician playing stuff that he really despises). And Emily Stone's character almost gives up on her dream of being an actor, and it's only his persistence in dragging her back to one more audition that makes it come true.
I note in passing that the music isn't great, but it's not awful either - I can still remember at least some of the tunes.
Watched on a tablet on train.
Review of 'The Brothers Grimm'
A bit more horror than I was expecting; perhaps I am too easily upset by depictions of children losing their eyes, though surely everyone thinks that's upsetting...
There's actually a bit of seriousness in the way it represents the origins of German conservative romanticism as a response to the French invasion. I note in passing that the German village, which is beautifully depicted, looks more Slavic than German, as does the depiction of peasant culture - I'd swear they are dancing to Klezmer at the end rather than something that feels German. Still, whatever.
Review of 'Frida'
But I was aware of how little attention it actually gave to the politics. We see that Diego Rivera is a bit of a radical, and that he enjoys pissing off the man as well as sleeping with lots of women, but there's no sense that the politics is actually important to him or to Frida. We see a few seconds of demonstration footage, but there isn't any sense that Mexico was a ferment of genuine revolutionary fervour at this time, or that there was a real civil war going on. Trotksy is a lovely old bloke, but not a very convincing revolutionary, and there is similarly no sense that in giving him refuge the Cardenas government was making a very definite political commitment. It wouldn't have hurt to have given some sight of how huge his funeral procession was.
Not a bad film, but not a great one.

Review of 'Born to Be Blue'
It's very well done, though. What I really liked about it was the way it conveys how physical playing the trumpet is - you do it with your whole body, but especially your mouth and face and lungs and belly. Early on a bunch of disappointed drug dealers beat Chet up, and they knock out his front teeth; an appreciable part of the film is about him relearning how to play, and with dentures. There's a fair bit of blood and a lot of suffering, and practicing in the bath (must try that, perhaps with my plastic trumpet).
I note in passing:
- In those days being a successful musician did not mean that you were rich. Sure, Chet has a drug habit, but part-successful washed-up rich musicians these days can afford a drug habit and live somewhere better than a camper van. I know that in the 1970s when I was growing up ex-footballers, including members of the winning world cup squad, bought and ran sport shops. Celebrity is more valuable now - part of the increased disparity of wealth?
- Chet meets his girlfriend working on what seems to be a film about his life - but what film can this be? It seems to be being made in the 1960s, but the other Chet film, Let's Get Lost, isn't made until 1988, the year he dies.
- Chet lets the grim and gloomy Miles characterize him as a privileged white boy from California, but he's not - he's actually a poor white boy from a grim family farm in Oklahoma. His dad, who is a bad dad from central casting, is probably a pre-prototype of the ignored people who went on to vote for Trump.
- The girlfriend quite rightly chooses her own career over loyalty to Chet - and when she does turn up for his comeback performance at Birdland it's not a happy Hollywood moment at all, but a [spoiler alert] confirmation that a junkie will always choose junk over everything else.
A great film, highly recommended.

Review of 'Denial'
A disappointing, plodding, boring film about a subject that ought to have been disturbing and too-engaging. It wasn't particularly long, but I found myself looking at my watch.
Rachel Weisz plays Deborah Lipstadt as a Brooklyn (Queens actually) bimbo. Although it's her book that forms the basis of the libel suit that David Irving brings, there's not much sign that she is an expert at anything. She's not called as a witness or to testify in her own defence. She supplies none of the critical points of evidence on which the case, as represented in the film, seems to turn. The only historical knowledge is presented as belonging to British elite academics. There's not much sign of the existence of a complex of deniers, with institutions and organisations – if there had been, it would have started to become political and relevant in a way that this film mainly isn't.
Penguin Books is cited as a co-defendant, but other than that barely appears, apart from a moment when some executive seems to disinterestedly ask Lipstadt if she plans to fight the case. No internal meetings to discuss how to handle this, no consideration as to whether to settle…
It's full of cinematic clichés – it's always raining in London, Lipstadt jogs to the statue of Boadicea, there's little narrative or cinematic innovation (though Lipstadt sees visions of the dying at Auschwitz for a few seconds when she's very emotionally engaged).
In the end the day is won by super stiff upper-lipped British lawyers, who know how to play the British legal system – which is ultimately the hero of the film. The lawyers' decision not to call any eyewitness accounts to dispute Irving's account is represented as entirely justified, and the only survivor we see actually nods at Lipstadt's press conference where she retrospectively endorses this strategy.
I suppose there is some justification in making the film in that it packages the episode for earnest sixth form students who might otherwise not know this happened, but it seems flat and not useful in a period in which people not unlike Irving are in office in the most powerful country in the world. In particular it doesn't much dwell on the way that Irving might be said to have won, even though he lost the case, by establishing that there is a 'debate' on the historicity of the holocaust. Climate change deniers pursue much the same strategy.
Watched at the Phoenix Cinema in East Finchley.

Get the legal help you need at a fixed price. No hidden fees or long-term commitment.
When a person is too young to make decisions or is incapacitated and can no longer care for their own interests, guardian law allows the court to appoint someone to make legal and welfare decisions for them. A legal guardian may be appointed as a limited decision-maker or an all-purpose decision-maker. For example, children whose parents are divorcing often have limited legal guardians help decide custody issues. Nursing home residents may need a general legal guardian to make all their welfare decisions for them. Guardianship lawyers advise you about the appropriate legal guardianship for your particular circumstances. They also help with guardianship forms and other legal paperwork, and represent the guardian once one is appointed.

When i received a call to perform and also be a speaker at this year's "Freestyle Reunion and Cancer Benefit", I was honored! I've always been a fan of Freestyle music and to have the opportunity to meet some of Freestyle music's pioneers, I jumped at the chance!
I made my way to "El Barrio" in Spanish Harlem, NY, about 15 minutes from I live lol. It was the perfect Summer day to enjoy the celebration con mi gente latina!
The first thing I normally do before i perform is meet the DJ hosting the event, and this time I finally got to meet DJ Rio Lopez! There he was on the 1s and 2s as we shared brief stories and laughed at the people we knew in common. I made sure that by the end of the day, DJ Rio Lopez had a radio drop from Carmelina! After all, Music is my life!!!
I was previously told by the show's coordinator and founder, John Rosario, that he wanted me to be an integral part of the show as I am a Breast Cancer Survivor! John Rosario wanted the audience to learn about my experience and how important it is to continue living your life to the fullest, in spite of crossing paths with this terrible disease!
Carmelina with (left) DJ Rio Lopez and (right) John Rosario
Carmelina was P-R-E-S-E-N-T-E!
I just love kids and when this little girl from the audience was inspired to sing with me, I gave her my mic! LOL She wanted to shine! She sang the hooks to L.O.V.E. and Looking For Love" - the two songs I performed.
I have to confess, there is something so special about our youth and it inspires me to become a better person everyday. Making music has never been just about me.
Sometimes you have to demonstrate to your community and beyond that it's okay to give ourselves permission to become everything we've ever wanted to be. A little encouragement comes a long way!!
While at the show, in the audience were two of my favorite people! Bronx Rapper "Boulevard" and producer ""Mighty Thor". I collaborated with these guys on my debut album "Morena" (Morena Records).
Carmelina with (left) Rapper "Boulevard and (right) Producer "Mighty Thor"
I also had the pleasure to meet and exchange smiles with one of the original members of the Freestyle group "TKA", Angel! He offered some great advice about the music industry, and was I was so grateful for that! Something told me that this event would be quite special...and it sure was!!!
Carmelina with Angel (original member) of "TKA"
Spreading awareness through music is a lifetime journey for me. Freestyle mission accomplished! :)

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has called for the establishment of coastal shipping system to enhance trading within Africa.
He submitted that the step would increased the share of inter-African trade in the region total trade by 10 per cent.
The former president said this while playing host to the National Council on Trade and Investment led by the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Okechukwu Enalamah, the Minister of State for Industry, Trade and Investment, Aisha Abubakar and members of relevant committees of the National Assembly
The delegation were in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, for the 8th edition of National Council on Trade and Investment meeting with the theme: "Diversification of the Nigerian Economy From Over Dependence on Oil Exports."
Obasanjo emphasised the need for African countries to explore trading opportunities in the state continent so as to boost their economies, while calling for the removal of all barriers against intra-African trade.
The former president also called for the establishment of commodity exchange for agricultural goods produced in Africa.
He said: "I want to disabuse the minds of our people against the notion that the level of trading among ourselves will be low because we are producing the same goods.
"Let us note that Britain and France produce the same goods and yet there is strong trding between the two countries.
"The same thing happens between Germany and France as well as among European countries and between Europe and America.
"In any case let Nigeria who is advanced in the production of noodles sell to Angola where the goods are in heavy demand.
"Let Kenya who is very good at producing Kiwi polish and cashew nuts sell to Nigeria first and not to Europe and we in Nigeria would in turn sell our goods for which we have comparative advantage to Kenya.
"All I know as I was growing up is farming and trading and this re the professions that my parents used to send me to school."
The minister in his remarks appreciated the former president for his commitment to the development of the country.

Though it is obvious that you wrote this way before the actual name of the Yondaime came out, and thus were free to speculate, reading it now, the impact is a little jarring. I wonder when you'll get back to this. You have people waiting for it, you know.
And the first few chapters are a little childish. Punctuation and grammar mistakes abound, and the flow of the story... doesn't. This story has all the originality of the epilogue to deathly hollows. Savior has a good premise, but I can't read any further. The glare from the mistakes are too horrid for me to overlook.
I followed one of your reviews here. You pissed on someone else's work, and I was expecting to see something better here.
Well, I guess that's what I get for expecting. When your only work is a piece of shit that looks like it could have been written by someone to whom college was never an option, try to refrain from showing your ass to other writers.
Any questions, or comments, anyone is free to shoot me an e-mail at Rps_itachi Yahoo .com

Your story is really cool and I can't wait for more. I read your profile and I'm disappointed that you take such a long time to finish a chapter. I suggest taking a break from everything else and finishing your story. Of course that's only if the muse strikes you. I don't want to read garbage just because you needed to write something down really fast. Just know that I love your story and I can't wait for you to finish it.

I worked at MITRE full-time
decent average pay, nice benefits and perks IF you can even find time or permission to use them. was in VA location. had cafeteria in house which was pretty good food. had a shared office, not a cubicle which was nice. free parking garage to park in and had own Mitre staffed security for premises. business casual dress, Friday jeans.
had almost no training program besides "ask this person to explain it to you" from people who are busy doing their own jobs to want to worry about yours, along with a "why are you bothering me again, isn't there someone else you can ask?" type of attitude. A supervisor who could not do my job besides explain the gist of what is needed. also no cross training between co-workers in same department meaning my deliverables due each month could not be completed by anyone besides myself (where and when can I take time off properly? what happens if I get sick? ) especially to know I would come back to a stack of work.
Advice to Management
get used to change and embrace it. your competitors even around you are going to jump past you and leave you in their dust. one down side to tiered architecture of business is that it is very resistant and slow to change. Get on that. Stop resting on your laurels and past accomplishments of what you have done and reach out to the realm of what you haven't done and ask yourselves why you cannot attain that level of greatness right now. why are you not at the top? why are you happy with 50 to 100th best and not moving up the ranks instead. Take a look at your employees underneath you and see if they are truly offered help to get adjusted quickly but also easily to the Mitre way of life. I don't know what your HR is doing along with upper management. People at Mitre are too comfortable in what they're doing and do nothing outside of their own realm. Even people who have lived here their entire lives are told I work at Mitre. They instantly ask 'who/whats that"? yet Northrop, Accenture, Deloitte, KPMG, Ernst and Young, Lockheed, Boeing, and the list goes on of other local companies these same people know right off the bat. Management, wake up call. you might be big and known in government but when your pool of applicants comes from the public and you are looking to nab the best of the best employees away from your competitors, it would help if they even know who you are. there's no recall so in marketing terms, your "brand" is trash even within your local community. that enough to light a fire under you?

Smart people, focused on the mission of our sponsors. Very technically focused and innovative. Staff have the opportunity to be creative and define their work.
Officers making decisions that do not support keeping staff engaged (e.g., reduction of vacation days, re-organizing and getting rid of Group Leaders and Associate Department Heads).
Advice to Management
Think through the impact of the decisions you make
Helpful (2)
I have been working at MITRE full-time (Less than a year)
- Flexible hours, can leave for 2-3 hours in the middle of the day and make it up later that evening, or just use 2 hours of vacation
- Not really any pressure to ever put in more than 40 hours, though lots of others seem to do so
- Volleyball nets, softball field, and basketball court on the campus; several groups typically play at lunch or after work
- Options to work from home
- Great retirement benefits
- Plenty of paid time off
- Everyone has an office (shared with one other person) - no cubes except for office administrators; this includes ceiling-high walls, doors, and even the lowest level employees can end up with a window if they're lucky
- You have a say about the type of work that you do. If you want to do server code, just tell your boss or ask your co-workers if they know any projects looking for server coders. If you want to switch to user interfaces, ask around for a project that needs a UI coder. Lots of projects are looking for people year-round so usually you can find something vaguely in line with your interests.
- Getting your first promotion is mostly based on time spent at the company, typically 3-5 years depending on your manager. Getting a second promotion can take as long as 10-15 years.
- Raises aren't too significant and sometimes don't even cover cost of living
- The annual ratings process is in such a way that if everyone does an equal job, some will arbitrarily get chosen to be top performers and others will get chosen to have needed improvement; there's no way for everyone to get good reviews if everyone does good work
- While some of the work is interesting, it's not exactly the most exciting of fields to get into

OS X is a real warhorse but, in uncommon circumstances, you might experience boot errors or major system issues.
You might also want to start from scratch because you're unhappy about the overall performance, or you're upgrading to a new version.
There are different schools of thought when it comes down to upgrading. Some think installing the new version on top of the previous one is the way to go, while other think it's best to perform a fresh reinstall.
In all the above cases, you need to use OS X Utilities.

This soup is absolutely delicious and is loaded with tons of vitamins and minerals. So not only is this soup tasty and easy to make, it is also healthy and nutritious. What a wonderful combination.
The exciting variations that come with this soup are equally mouthwatering and tantalizing. If you are not able to get your hands on butternut squash or sweet potato, you could substitute with either pumpkin and with normal potatoes.
The final additions of honey, black pepper and cinnamon can also be substituted with curry powder, for an Asian edge. In this case, having some warm naan instead of the usual bread on the side will be absolutely heavenly. Either way, the choice is yours.
This soup is the perfect starter of a meal. And can be made in large volumes for parties and gatherings. However, as this soup is so good on its own, it is also wonderful as a meal substitute, and can be enjoyed alone, in private, while watching TV or movies.
Whatever the situation, this soup is always a good reason to have around. For people with tight schedules, a batch of soup can be made in advance and stored in the fridge or freezer. Just heat up a portion whenever necessary, and enjoy.
