Hillary ClintonHillary Diane Rodham ClintonO'Malley tells Dems not to fear Trump FBI informant gathered years of evidence on Russian push for US nuclear fuel deals, including Uranium One, memos show Pelosi blasts California Republicans for supporting tax bill MORE declined to specify her net worth in an interview, sidestepping questions about her family's wealth ahead of a possible 2016 presidential run.
In the interview with Fusion posted Monday evening, Clinton, considered the Democratic frontrunner if she decides to run, was asked how much money she has.
"But millions?" the interviewer pressed.
"Yeah, yes, indeed," confirmed Clinton.
Clinton came under fire in early June, as she launched a national book tour for her memoir, Hard Choices, for claiming that she and former President Clinton left the White House "dead broke" and "in debt."
She told Fusion she regrets making those statements.
"I regret it, it was inartful," she said. "It was accurate, but we are so successful and we're so blessed by the success we've had and my husband has worked incredibly hard.
"What I worry about is not my family," she continued. "I worry about other families in our country who feel like they're running in place. They're not getting ahead."
Clinton told ABC News's Diane Sawyer last month that her family left the White House in 2001 "dead broke."
"We came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt," Clinton said. "We had no money when we got there, and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for Chelsea's education. You know, it was not easy."
The day after the interview aired, she clarified and also defended her remarks, claiming she and Bill are "obviously blessed."
The former president later came to his wife's defense, saying that she was not "out of touch."

Wood Waste to Heating Energy
König + Neurath AG, one of the leading European office furniture manufacturers, in Karben near Frankfurt/Main process derived timber products such as chipboards and multiplex boards to produce office furniture for nearly any furnishing purpose. The resulting wood residues are not discarded but processed to become combustible by means of which the complete heating and process heat demand of the company is met (wood waste recycling).
Up-to-date production
Central components of this up-to-date production facility are automated machining centers which produce the basic elements of the respective pieces of furniture starting from ready-made chipboards and/or multiplex boards. The wood residues resulting from this production are transported from the machining centers to Weima grinders via conveying belts.
Treatment of wood residues - reliable and quiet
The conveying belts of two machining centers each run into the hopper of a downstream WL 6S single-shaft size reduction grinder made by WEIMA Maschinenbau GmbH, Ilsfeld. The lateral insertion openings of the hopper are covered with a strip-type plastic curtain. The remaining sides are completely closed. These measures result in a very low annoyance caused by noise and dust. Through the hopper the wood residues fall onto the bottom of the machine body. From there they are pushed against the turning rotor by a hydraulically actuated pushing device which is controlled depending on the load, and which is horizontally arranged in the machine body.
The rotors of the single shaft (shredding) machine of the WL series are made from solid steel. The profiling of the V-rotor is unique and includes a patented knife seat design. The knife carriers are welded onto the circumference of the rotor. Into these carriers the cutting knives are screwed from behind. This guarantees a quick knife change. The design and construction of the screw heads are configured to prevent damage during size reduction. The rotor width is 800 mm with a rotor diameter of 368 mm.
The 42 cutting knives are made of tool steel. Despite the highly abrasive material the knife service life for each knife edge is approximately half a year, meaning a total of approximately 2 years.
The pushing device is equipped rail guides to prevent undue wear on the machine housing. Optionally, the pushing device is equipped with a horizontal and/or a vertical toothed rails in order to feed bulky material. The hydraulic system of the pushing device is installed within the machine body such that it is protected from wood dust and damage. The hydraulic cylinder is suspended on a universal joint to avoid undesired transverse forces acting onto the piston.
The machines are driven by an electric motor which transmits the force via the hydraulic clutch, V-belt and gearbox to the rotor - with a driving power of 22 kW and a rotor speed of approx. 80 rpm. The machines are equipped with a hydrodynamic centrifugal clutch for a load-free start up. They are controlled optionally by conventional contactors or by a programmable controller.
The chips produced are carried off and discharged through the screen which encases the rotor. The objective is to produce a chip of approx. 15 mm. In order to achieve this objective a screen with a hole diameter of 12 mm in the first third and 15 mm in the remainding section is used. Because of this design, longer chips and/or splinters that pass through the counter-knife are also reduced.
The chips are pneumatically conveyed through connection pieces attached laterally to the machine body or - optionally - carried off and discharged through a screw conveyor or a conveyor belt and transported with no pressure into central chip hoppers. The air used is afterwards separated from the dusts and chips which are also transferred to the chip bins. Through a mixer the chips and dusts are homogenized and - depending on the respective demand - all year long fed to the downstream heating boiler plants in order to produce primary energy. The complete energy demand of approx. 20 MW for the required process heat, the air-conditioning systems and the heating of the complete premises is covered by this.
Size reduction of bulky wood residues
With a single shaft size reduction machine of model series installed in the open and also connected to the chip hoppers, bulky wood residues such as larger chipboard residues and stored away production WL 18 Jumbo wastes. The size reduction machine possesses a rotor width of 1,800 mm with a feeding opening of 1,800 mm x 1,500 mm and a rotor diameter of 482 mm. The driving power is 75 kW. The machine can be started under full load. In this case the hopper contents will be reduced in size and afterwards the machine will automatically shut off. The uncovered metal parts such as nails, screws, clamps, etc. are transferred outward through a metal separating installation which is integrated in the suction system. The hopper volume is approx. 5.4 m³. The hopper can be designed in accordance with customer specifications. As an option, particularly bulky material can be fed to the rotor by force through a press down device from above.
Horst Zimmer, Building Services Systems Manager of König und Neurath: "The disposal and treatment of our own production wastes to become valuable energy result in large saving potentials for us with regard to disposal and energy cost. The compact design of the WEIMA America's single -shaft shredders and the good interface connection to our machining centers along with the competent and individual consultation and the comprehensive service which was available any time during commissioning and thereafter were convincing arguments for our purchase decision."

August 6th
The Blackberries are ripe, the weather is perfect (no local fires), the trout are fat and feisty and solitude is easy to find. Fall is just a few weeks away, and we are enjoying some exceptionally fine weather after a hot spell, enabling us to wade wet on our local freestones, the McCloud, the Upper Sac, and some local creeks. As is typical of summer, this is not the time of year we expect epic days catching loads of big fish. It is the time of year we enjoy the simple pleasures of fly fishing, the solitude of casting dries on scenic creeks to native fish, nymphing pockets for hot rainbows and perhaps even a streamside nap. With flows at their lowest we can chose a water type and technique to suit our mood, whether it is high sticking pockets, fishing a dry dropper through a classic run, or casting tiny dries to selective evening risers.
As is typical in summer, fishing has been best early and late in the day when the sun is off the water. Evening hatches have been compressed, sometimes lasting an hour or more but seldom longer, mostly small to tiny mayflies and caddis with a few lingering yellow sallies. Nymphing, as well as fishing dry fly attractors with droppers, has been effective before the hatch as well as earlier in the day.
The Upper Sacramento River is low and clear and fishing exceptionally well with dry flies and droppers finding good numbers of small fish, while nymphing fast water pockets has found some of the larger specimens in the river. For those who know where and how to "high stick" the fishing has been exceptional at times. The bite has been best on Black Fly Larva imitations, small to tiny caddis and mayflies, and October Caddis case patterns. The evening hatch has been superb but is compressed into the last hour of light.
The spring crowds on the McCloud have dissipated and guests enjoyed some great fishing in the past weeks fishing dries and droppers as well as nymphing. The action has been nearly non stop but most of the fish have been small, with a few fish in the teens mixed in during the day. Unfortunately Mud Creek recently started spilling silt and water clarity dropped to a foot or two but has started to clear. As this event has a habit of varying greatly from season to season be sure to check conditions before heading to the McCloud.
I hope to see you soon, drop us a line if you are headed our way, I am always happy to share all I can whether you are seeking guide service or not.

Seven-year-old boy killed in Coventry Sainsbury's bus crash named as Rowan Fitzgerald
A SEVEN-YEAR-OLD boy who died after a double-decker bus ploughed into a Coventry city centre supermarket on Saturday evening has been named locally as Rowan Fitzgerald.
Two people are feared dead after the crash this evening
The youngster, who police initially said was aged 8, attended St Anthony's Catholic Primary School in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire.
Police today named the second victim as Dora Hancox, who was in her 70s and also died in the accident, which happened when the doubledecker lost control and ploughed into pedestrians before smashing into Sainsbury's supermarket on the city's Trinity Street.
West Midlands Police confirmed the school boy who was travelling on the top deck of the bus and a woman pedestrian in her seventies had died.
An eight-year-old girl, the boy's cousin, is in a stable condition in hospital after suffering injuries to her face, head and leg, and suspected injuries to her chest, pelvis and abdomen.
Five other people, including the driver of the bus, were also injured and treated at University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire.
All but one have since been discharged.
A spokeswoman said: "We are dealing with two fatalities. The relatives of those who have died do now know."
The bus was travelling along Hale Street when it smashed into a number of stationery cars and a lamp post at around 6pm.
The 77-year-old driver, who was pulled from the wreckage, is assisting police with their enquiries.
The bus crashed at around 6pm
West Midlands Ambulance Service sent three ambulances to the scene, three rapid response vehicles and members of the Hazardous Area Response Team.
Passengers became trapped on the top deck of the bus as the staircase was mangled in the crash.
I came outside the shop and saw the bus was smashed into the cashpoint
Inspector Paul Bennett said: "Investigations are ongoing but we are aware of a number of vital witnesses who we are yet to speak to.
"We know there were possibly hundreds of people at the crash scene on Saturday evening and I would urge these people to come forward as soon as possible and give statements.
"Also if anyone has images or footage of the scenes please contact us.
"I would like to thank all the people who have already come forward and helped us with our enquiries into this tragic event."
Emergency services are at the scene in Coventry
Witnesses told how the bus careered off the road and hit several shoppers, including a child, as it ploughed into the supermarket.
Jordan Pearson, 18, an apprentice chef from Holbrook, Coventry, described seeing the "walking wounded".
He said: "I walked past just after it happened.
"They cut open the side of the bus and got everybody off. I saw quite a few walking wounded and people being carried out on stretchers, at least nine or ten.
"I saw body bags and I heard an old lady was knocked down. People are saying more than one person died and that kids might be involved.
"I saw two kids being rescued from the top deck."
Many are thought to be "seriously injured"
"My thoughts are with the victims' families. It's just awful."
Unemployed Robin Nightingale, 22, from Coventry, said: "I'm shocked that this has happened in the middle of Coventry."
Maneer Fiaz told Sky News the crash spoke of the "absolute mayhem".
He said: "I was getting some food from the shop opposite and I heard a loud bang. I looked outside the shop ... and saw people running towards the scene.
"I came outside the shop and saw the bus was smashed into the cashpoint. I ran towards the driver and he was surprisingly alive. People were trying to get the driver out. The kids were trapped underneath the seats upstairs. It was absolute chaos.
Police have cordoned off the surrounding area

Leaders call for end to NI deadlock
Prime Minister David Cameron and Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny have urged Northern Ireland's parties to end the political deadlock threatening the collapse of power-sharing in the province.
Following talks in Downing Street, Mr Cameron said the situation was "serious" and joined Mr Kenny in calling on the parties to fully implement the Stormont House agreement.
The deal struck last year between the two governments and the five parties on the executive in the Northern Ireland Assembly, was intended to enable progress on a number of outstanding issues and allow the budget to go ahead.
But the whole agreement is threatened by the decision by Sinn Fein and the nationalist SDLP to veto the implementation of UK welfare cuts in Northern Ireland.
The Democratic Unionists have warned that unless the deadlock is resolved the executive will be left with a £600 million funding "black hole", a gap that could lead to the collapse of the power sharing institutions.
Mr Cameron said: "The current situation in Northern Ireland is serious."
"It is vital that Northern Ireland's political leaders deliver on their side of the deal if we are to deliver a brighter more secure future for the people there."
Mr Kenny added: "We recognise the difficulties that must be and are being faced by the Northern Ireland parties as they continue to have our support in seeking to resolve their budgetary issues."
He said that dealing with "legacy issues" from the Troubles - such as the murder of solicitor Pat Finucane - was also an important part of the agreement.
Back in Belfast, Sinn Fein Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness laid the blame for the crisis at the door of Mr Cameron's government.
He said the "Tory austerity agenda" was threatening the "green shoots of recovery in the North".
Addressing a Chamber of Commerce event in the city, Mr McGuinness said: "W e are facing into a political and financial crisis that has been inflicted upon us by the economic policies of the Conservative government in Westminster.
"The previous Tory-led government stripped £1.5 billion from the public service budget of the Executive. They proposed to save more money at the expense of the most vulnerable under the misnomer of welfare reform.
"The new Tory government is planning billions of pounds more of reductions in public services and welfare benefits which will inflict devastating cuts on our society and our economy.
"You can't take that kind of spending power out of any economy, particularly one as fragile and small as ours, and not expect there to be serious repercussions for our prospects for economic recovery.
"Austerity is bad for the community, bad for the economy and bad for business. So austerity and its imposition on our society is a serious challenge which the Executive has to deal with in the time ahead.
"I remain determined to find solutions. That remains my personal and political priority."

As a mom of two who is responsible for managing all of my family's affairs AND a #momboss small business owner, the prospect of having our information stolen online is absolutely terrifying! I do everything online! I take pride in the fact that I seldom go to the store, that I can pay my kids tuitions, my mortgage, book flights, order diapers, vitamins, heck even toilet paper without leaving the house! I even exercise using online streaming services! Having everything online saves me hours in the car, and afternoons of missed naps, and no mom in her right mind likes that golden time wasted on a grocery run! I even run my business exclusively online!
So how do I sleep at night knowing I am so wide open to having my passwords and family's information stolen? I have a password manager. It remembers all of my 20+ unique passwords and usernames that I use for every login. If you are using the same two to three passwords for all of your accounts you are leaving yourself exposed. And don't think just because you aren't a blogger, or on social media, that it can't happen to you. Do you know how many credit cards we have had to have replaced because of online theft and this is before I even started blogging!
Every morning when I wake up, I open my email and I see all the alerts from hackers being locked out of my website from using the wrong password or username. (I know, I really need to work on my morning routine!) But when I see that, I breathe a sigh of relief, because I know my passwords are really really difficult to crack. And, if they by chance HAPPEN to guess one of them, well, it doesn't open me up to losing everything. They are going to have to find out the unique password for each website, service, social media account–Good luck with that!
Think about this. You lock your doors to your house every night, you lock the doors to your car, why would ever leave the door wide open to your entire online identity and all of your family's information just because it is online?
Now, this is where Keeper Security comes in. There is no way that I could I could ever keep everything straight if I had to remember 30+ unique log ins and passwords. Heck, I can hardly remember what is on my grocery list–why do you think we ended up using the last squeeze of toothpaste for four+ days last week?
Instead, all I need to do is remember my unique password for Keeper Security and the rest of the passwords are unlocked. It simplifies and protects our digital lives by managing passwords and files in secure and private vault that I can access anywhere and from any device! I have it on my phone and computer. Everything is stored in one place and the information is safeguarded by best-in-class security. Busy mamas, this is what you need to simplify your online activity. It will even protect your private files, photos, and videos. And the best part? It is easy to setup and use and it makes online activities faster, easier, and safer. And I don't know a mom or #momboss who doesn't want that! *Helpful tip: make sure that your significant other has a way of finding out your "master password" if in fact anything should happen to you! I told my husband mine just in case, so he isn't locked out of everything!
You have one "master password." Think of it as your master key to your Keeper Security "vault"–so make it really long and very hard to guess. Random letters are better than words, and make sure to have a combination of numbers, symbols, and spaces in there too! You can even have a randomly generated master password. Once you enter your master password, then the vault opens–don't you love the graphics?
Inside the vault, Keeper Security keeps all of your passwords and login information safe. You can even keep credit card numbers, social security numbers, anything you need to keep secure but accessible in here. For each login or file, you create a new record. Then you can access it anywhere you want! Like I said, I have Keeper Security on my phone as well, so it is always accessible! I always like to keep my notes online so I can access them anywhere, and send them to my husband, anytime I need them. And Keeper Security helps with that!
So don't just sit there, check it out now and safeguard your's and your family's online information! Download it from the app store here and download the desktop or laptop version go here. It is so easy!
I was selected for this opportunity as a member of CLEVER and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.

From the next academic session, primary schools run by Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) are in for a complete makeover. The civic body has decided to teach two of the main subjects — mathematics and environmental science —in English medium. The move is being seen as one of several efforts to cope with the competition from mushrooming private and convent schools. Mayor Archana Dehankar said, "Despite several efforts, corporation schools are finding it hard to come up to the standards of private and convent schools. This is an attempt to draw level with them. Dehankar said that the education department is starting various programmes and adopting new technologies to compete with elite schools. "The education department has decided to outsource training of over 900 teachers so that children studying in primary and secondary schools have good teachers," said Dehankar. "We cannot overlook the significance of technology, so we have also introduced computer training for students in the zero-hour period," she said. With more and more private and convent schools opening up in the outskirts of the city, the enrolment of students in corporation schools has shown a sharp decline. Parents prefer to send their children to private schools irrespective of the distance the children have to travel daily, NMC enrolment figures show.

Simon Cowell has finally addressed his impending fatherhood.
"The X Factor" creator attended the world premiere of "One Direction: This Is Us" on Tuesday, where he said he's looking forward to becoming a dad. This marked Cowell's first public confirmation that he is indeed having a child with New York socialite Lauren Silverman.
Simon told the BBC (via the AP) that "things are changing in my life right now, for the better," adding, "I'm proud to be a dad."
[Related: Check Out the U.K. Red Carpet Premiere of 'One Direction: This Is Us' Here!]
The 53-year-old also called Lauren "a very special girl" and added that while he hadn't thought of fatherhood before, "now I know I feel good about it."
At "The X Factor" Television Critics Association panel in L.A. on August 1, Cowell fielded questions about becoming a first-time dad.
"Unfortunately, I have to keep this for the moment private," he said when a reporter offered Cowell congratulations. "It's just one of those things. But thank you very much anyway."
Lauren Silverman is the soon-to-be ex-wife of Cowell's former friend, real-estate mogal Andrew Silverman. Exactly how long Simon and Lauren were having an affair and whether it overlapped with her marriage to Andrew (their relationship had reportedly been on the rocks for some time) has been speculated upon, although each party involved seems to have a different view of the situation.
Andrew and Lauren's divorce was finalized last week. They have one 8-year-old son together.

A master's degree is a postgraduate academic degree. One must already have an undergraduate degree to apply for a master's program. Most master's degree program would require students to complete a master's thesis or research paper.
Earning a Master requires two years of education after earning a Bachelor. This advanced degree may help students to achieve their educational and professional goals, as the rigors of a Master's program help train students in the skills and knowledge they need to land the career of their dreams.
The United States of America is a large country in North America, often referred to as the "USA", the "US", the "United States", "America", or simply "the States". American colleges are funded by "tuition" charged to the student, which is often quite expensive, very commonly reaching into the tens of thousands of dollars per year.
Kentucky has been nicknamed the "Bluegrass state" derived from this type of grass common here. The state is known for having a large number of deer and turkeys with horse racing proving a worthwhile activity as well. Renowned as being the site of education reforms over the past 20 years, the state is home to 8 major universities, 16 public colleges and an additional 30 private institutions.

Protection of sources
The media depend to a large extent on members of the public for the supply of information of public interest. Most of the time, these sources are more than happy to be quoted in the newspaper or on the television. But occasionally, citizens come forward with information of a secret or highly sensitive nature.
They believe such information - relating for example to corruption, misgovernment or the activities of organised criminals – should be made known to the general public, to expose wrongdoing or to stimulate public debate on the subject (read more on whistleblowers).
Anonymity is often a precondition for the source's willingness to speak, out of fear for retaliation if his or her name were made public
When this happens, anonymity is often a precondition for the source's willingness to speak, out of fear for retaliation if his or her name were made public.
There is little dispute that named sources are on the whole preferable to anonymous ones. If the source is known, it is easier to assess his or her credibility, motives and, indeed, existence. It is also less difficult for those affected by a wrongful disclosure (such as a malicious attack on a person's reputation or the publication of a business secret) to clear their name or to seek compensation. Nevertheless, international courts and mechanisms have been mindful that much important information would never reach the public if journalists were unable to guarantee confidentiality to their sources.
This has led to the development of a right, based on the right to free expression, commonly referred to as "the protection of sources."
Although it is normally journalists who claim the right, it is really the right of everyone to receive information and ideas that is being protected. Indeed, this is at the heart of the right.
International standards on the protection of sources
In the seminal case of Goodwin v. United Kingdom, the ECtHR ruled that an attempt to force a journalist to reveal his source for a news story violated his right to receive and impart information, and hence the right to freedom of expression. The ECtHR considered that orders to disclose sources reduce the flow of information, to the detriment of democracy and are, therefore, only justifiable in very exceptional cases:
Protection of journalistic sources is one of the basic conditions for press freedom.... Without such protection, sources may be deterred from assisting the press in informing the public on matters of public interest. As a result the vital public-watchdog role of the press may be undermined and the ability of the press to provide accurate and reliable information may be adversely affected. Having regard to the importance of the protection of journalistic sources for press freedom in a democratic society and the potentially chilling effect an order of source disclosure has on the exercise of that freedom, such a measure cannot be compatible with Article 10 of the Convention unless it is justified by an overriding requirement in the public interest.
The right of journalists to protect the confidentiality of their sources has also been widely recognised by other international bodies, including the European Parliament, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, the IACMHR and the ACHPR. The OSCE member states stated, in the Concluding Document of their 1986-1989 Vienna Follow-Up Meeting: "[J]ournalists ... are free to seek access to and maintain contacts with, public and private sources of information and that their need for professional confidentiality is respected."
In sum, the basic principle that journalists have a right to protect their sources is well-established in international law. Many states, including Kazakhstan94 and Uzbekistan,95 have adopted legislation with the purpose of implementing the right. Often, however, such legislation falls short of international standards in this area, because it is either too narrow in its understanding of who is a "journalist" or too broad in its definition of exceptions to the right.
Persons entitled to invoke the right
The right to preserve the confidentiality of sources is usually referred to, both in international and domestic law, as a right of journalists. Nevertheless, it can sometimes be validly invoked by persons who would not normally identify themselves, or be identified by the general public, as journalists.
As the ruling in the Goodwin case (discussed above) illustrates, the purpose of the right is to ensure that sources are not deterred from conveying important information to the public through a 'middleman'. It is the middleman who is entitled to invoke the right to protect his or her sources. In most cases, this role is played by a 'traditional' journalist in the service of a mass media outlet; but there is no reason to apply a different rule when the middleman is someone else whose profession involves collecting and disseminating information, such as an NGO activist or academic commentator.
In their efforts to define the right to protect sources, some international bodies have opted to entirely avoid the term 'journalist'. The Declaration of Principles on Freedom of Expression adopted by the IACMHR states: "Every social communicator has the right to keep his/her source of information, notes, personal and professional archives confidential."
Other bodies have instead been careful to formulate a very wide definition of 'journalist', covering anyone who serves as a conduit of information to the public, regardless of whether they would normally be perceived as journalists. The Recommendation adopted by the CoE's Committee of Ministers states: "The term 'journalist' means any natural or legal person who is regularly or professionally engaged in the collection and dissemination of information to the public via any means of mass communication."
By contrast, domestic laws sometimes adopt a more limited definition, covering only 'traditional' journalists. The Uzbek journalism law provides an example: "A journalist is a natural person who works for the mass media…" Such narrow definitions are at odds with international law, because of their potential to constrict the flow of important information to the public.
Finally, in addition to 'non-traditional' journalists, international law recognises one further class of persons who should be entitled to invoke the right. Principle 2 of the above-cited CoE Recommendation states:
Other persons who, by their professional relations with journalists, acquire knowledge of information identifying a source through the collection, editorial processing or dissemination of this information, should equally be protected under the principles established herein.
In other words, the right to withhold a source's identity belongs not only to the 'middleman', but also to others collaborating with him or her. The purpose of this rule is, of course, to prevent the protection of sources from being simply side-stepped by going around the 'middleman'.
Exceptions to the right
Like the right to freedom of expression it is derived from, the right to maintain confidentiality of sources is not an absolute one: in certain narrowly defined circumstances, it may be subject to some limitations. As always, such restrictions must be justifiable under the three-part test.
Principles 3-5 of the 2000 CoE Recommendation elaborate extensively on the application of the three-part test to the protection of sources, in particular the necessity-leg of the test. The 2002 Declaration of Principles on Freedom of Expression in Africa echoes the main points of the CoE Recommendation.
The most important points in these documents are the following:
- A journalist should only be ordered to disclose the identity of a source if there is an overriding requirement in the public interest, and the circumstances are of a vital nature. The CoE Recommendation states that this could be the case only if disclosure was necessary to protect human life, to prevent major crime or for the defence of a person accused of having committed a major crime.
- The interest in disclosure should always be balanced against the harm of ordering disclosure to freedom of expression
- Disclosure should only be ordered at the request of an individual or body with a direct, legitimate interest, and who has demonstrably exhausted all reasonable alternative measures to protect that interest.
- The power to order disclosure of a source's identity should be exercised exclusively by courts of law.
- Courts should never order disclosure of a source's identity in the context of a defamation case.
- The extent of a disclosure should be limited as far as possible, for example just being provided to the persons seeking disclosure instead of to the general public.
- Any sanctions against a journalist who refuses to disclose the identity of a source should only be applied by an impartial court after a fair trial, and should be subject to appeal to a higher court.
Perhaps the most crucial of these principles is the requirement to balance interests: even when there is a strong public interest in uncovering the identity of a source, the vital function of the protection of sources in a democracy should not be overlooked. In fact, as the Norwegian Supreme Court has pointed out, the arguments against disclosure often are strongest precisely when those in favour are also strong:
In some cases … the more important the interest violated, the more important it will be to protect the sources … It must be assumed that a broad protection of sources will lead to more revelations of hidden matters than if the protection is limited or not given at all.

BarroMetrics Views: Trailing Stops
Baz wrote" ….if we take a trade based on high probabilities, how do we know if its a high probability to continue, at what point does the high probability diminish. Then at what point does it register in our brains to exit".
The point is we need to paint clear pictures about what has to happen for us to exit a trade …. what I call a qualitative exit. My quantitative exit (initial stop)is not the same as my qualitative exit.
The stop is the price at which my trend analysis is incorrect or trade analysis is incorrect. The qualitative analysis are the conditions under which I'll exit a trade even if the stop is not hit.
Trailing stops tend to be quant exits, but need not be.
Where my quant stops are placed depend entirely on the structure of the market – because their location identify where my view of the market structure is incorrect.
An example of a qualitative stop: in a recent GBPAUD trade, I took the view that the 290-min chart was showing the Ray Wave 3rd of a 3rd pattern. This implied we would see a strong directional move. When instead of a prolonged move down, the directional move went mean impulse and started to stall, I exited on the first bar that suggested an upward move was beginning (see Figure 1) – because the market was not behaving in a way that was consistent with the reason I took the trade.
Figure 2 illustrates my approach to a quant trailing stop.
I was long gold going into the June high. (Note for long term charts I use CSI-data's perpetual series – useless for entry and exit prices but excellent for long-term analysis).
The first warning that we may be seeing a high was the price action at D. The spike down was the greatest retracement since the Jan 28 low. For me it marked the 'preliminary point of support'; if this were true the next high and sell-off would mark the buying climax.
Using C, I then calculated some price targets:
- The 13-week swing (black lines) suggested that the high at C was in a zone that may terminate the upmove.
- The 18-day swing (red lines) showed a 3-wave structure that suggested a termination at the 30 % to 33% increase. The C high was within the target zone.
At E, Gold provided an upthrust change in trend pattern. That was enough for me to exit the trade. At time of exit, the stops has been raised to below the low at D.
Hope this helps Baz

Hello! I am Lori Harfenist, aka one who harfens, and I am a person who gets paid to make videos and write things for different people. I have a great life, and I work very hard!
In the early 2000s, I started "The Resident" as a weekly half-hour public access show on NYC's Manhattan Neighborhood Network (MNN). It aired every Monday night from 10pm to 10:30pm. It featured short segments of me messing with people on the street, doing one-on-one interviews, and ranting to the camera. It was legit.
In 2003, I moved my public access TV show over to this very site, where I continued to release new videos every Tuesday and Friday.
In 2006, I moved it once more to YouTube. They immediately started featuring my videos. They invited me to their offices for input a lot. I was one of their first 75 revenue-sharing partners. That's when "The Resident" became the job.
News outlets decided they needed some of that coooool, user-generated content, so they started contacting me through YouTube. NBC News, CNN, FOX, Discovery Channel, RT, DIRECTV, Gawker, The NYPost, Turner Media — I made content for them all. They've all been very nice.
Currently, I'm hard at work on a new book. It's awesome! I can't wait until it's out of my head and into yours! In 2016, I published my book, "I, Human." If you are a human who reads books, you should check it out!

|Fans of the American Le Mans Series still remember Champion Racing for its
striking day-glow livery, never-say-die competitive spirit, and dominating
performance at the track. From 2004 to 2008 the team won five ALMS
championships, first as a privateer and then as the official Audi factory team in
North America. In 2005, Champion made history by winning the 24 Hours of Le
Mans in its fifth appearance at the French race. The first-place finish by J. J. Lehto,
Tom Kristensen, and Marco Werner marked the first overall victory for an American
team at Le Mans since 1967. Outside endurance racing Champion also found
success in the Speedvision World Challenge series, winning three straight
championships from 2001 to 2003 with drivers Michael Galati and Randy Pobst.
But the real story of Champion Racing is about much more than cars, races, and victories. A Little Bit of Magic goes behind the scenes to show how the team evolved from a small group of enthusiastic amateurs into a highly professional organization capable of winning the worlds most demanding endurance event. Under Marajs guidance, Champion worked constantly to improve its performance at the track by focusing on preparation and discipline away from it. The team also excelled at finding the right people and empowering them to meet each new goal from drivers like Lehto, Werner, Allan McNish, Rinaldo Capello, and Emanuele Pirro to the engineers, mechanics, and support staff who helped them win.
Along with the teams many successes, A Little Bit of Magic also documents the setbacks that the Champion crew overcame on their way to the topfrom the challenge of making a competitive car out of a Porsche-engined Lola prototype to the death of driver Bob Wollek, whose insight and determination continued to inspire the team. It also shows how Marajs racing ambitions sometimes conflicted with his status as the worlds largest-selling Porsche dealer, and reveals how a last- minute decision by Audi led to the Champion teams demise in 2008.
Produced with support from Champion Porsche, A Little Bit of Magic is a fitting tribute to the legacy of a great American racing team. Nearly 500 pages long, the extra-large, fully illustrated book not only tells the Champion story from beginning to end, but also includes forewords by former Volkswagen Group executive Wolfgang Dürheimer and legendary Porsche racing engineer Norbert Singer. There are also personal remembrances and testimonials from drivers Bill Adam, James Weaver, and Lucas Luhr, team owner Roger Penske, and ALMS director Scott Atherton, along with many other friends, teammates, and competitors. Finally, a complete Race Results appendix documents all of the teams appearances from 1993 through 2008.

Three of my favorite movies ( whenever I come across one of them I watch, regardless of whether it is the beginning, middle or end) have strong appeal to me because of the style of the leading ladies.
I realize that costume designers have tremendous influence on the look of a film, but when I watch these movies I feel like I am getting a strong idea of the personal style of each of these actresses.
Diane Keaton is probably the best example of a film icon who is so strongly associated with her quirky persona, and Gwyneth Paltrow is a fine actress who cannot escape her New York classic cool style. And Rene Russo may not be as known for her own look, but she epitomizes the sharp, seductive image in Micheal Kors throughout that movie.

British born artist and designer, Joanna Manousis lives and works in the United States, creating literary works in glass and mixed media that speak of human emotion, memory and the passage of time. Holding a Masters of Fine Arts in Sculpture from Alfred University, New York, and a First Class Honors Bachelor Degree in Fine Art from The University of Wolverhampton, England, Manousis has worked, studied and taught in Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Manousis earned a Bombay Sapphire Award nomination for 'Excellence in Glass' in 2008, the first 'Hans Godo Frabel Award' for 'Outstanding Achievement in Glass' in 2010, along with other numerous scholarships and awards for her individual approach in glass sculpture and installation. Manousis has created her work within residencies at The Museum of Art and Design, NYC, Corning Glass Museum, NY, The Cité Internationale des Arts, France and currently works as a freelance glass artist in Columbus, Ohio. Her work can be seen in the permanent collections at Ebeltoft Glass Museet, Denmark and the Cafesjian Center for the Arts, Yerevan, Armenia.
Corning Museum of Glass
My work captures and animates liminal moments, revealing a world in which objects, beings and places are interconnected. I re-appropriate material objects as a device to lure and engage a universal audience. Through spatial configuration, context and material I use the information connected with them as objects to spark an extended dialogue.
I predominantly use glass in my sculpture to induce reflection, both physically and metaphorically, in the viewer. It is the transparency of glass, a solid state of atmosphere that simultaneously reveals yet barricades, that I find most compelling. Through the intrinsic material properties and associations of glass I use the medium to create installations that speak of human emotion, cultural identity, and the passage of time.

This is one of the places which I have recently discovered and which has quickly become one of my favorites. The first time I came here was with a friend who had just returned to Barcelona from having lived in France. She lives nearby and told me this was her favorite French hangout spot in the city. I of course had to try it right away!
I quickly understood why she loves it. It's very cozy and welcoming, with tables, chairs and sofas all mismatched, resembling someone's eclectic (French) living room. The waiters (also French) are young and friendly. Most inviting. And then comes the food. Everything is sourced from France: the cheeses, the foie they serve with salad, and the wines which starting at € 1.80 the glass are not only good but also very well priced.
To top it all off it's located in a beautiful corner building facing the Plaza de Sant Pere, a hidden gem in the Born district. Visit En Aparté as a wine bar, a romantic dinner restaurant or for a French food fix during lunchtime and I'm pretty sure you will come out très happy!

The customer service team is awful! Any queries we have had have either been unanswered, given a stock response as if from a machine or totally incorrect! Extremely poor!
An example: what is the hand luggage for my Philippine airlines flight to Brisbane?
7 to 10 kg.
Is that 7 or 10?
7 to 10 kg
well which? somewhere in between?
7 to 10 kg.
Forget it I will look on the airline website. (to find it is a max of 7kg (So not 7-10 kg at all)

One Layer Only with the CCEE
Well, Lois, our CCEE Stampers hostess for September, has become quite an accomplished CAS card creator, so I was not surprised with this week's challenge........to make a one layer card. I actually knew right away what I was going to do.......design a one layer card for my holiday stash which I can produce quickly and in multiples. I used this fabulous snowflake stampf from Hero Arts, heat embossed in white on the red base card. I added a wintery sentiment and a few black pearls. AND....must say that I just love it!!!!
I can't wait to see the one layer beauties created by the rest of the team on the CCEE Stampers Blog.

Embossing in white you can do easily in multiples! I take my hat off to you, Joanne. I always think it looks so fabulous (it certainly does here!) but the very thought of it sets me running in the opposite direction. A great Christmas card for mass production if you like doing white embossing ;-).

Isaiah Crowell
November 3, 2011 by staff
Isaiah Crowell, Isaiah Crowell and two running backs Georgia will miss the game this week against the State of New Mexico after all three players failed drug tests.
ESPN and The Associated Press have reported the suspension of a game-Crowell and backup Ken Carlton Thomas Malcolm and positive tests were for last week before the Bulldogs beat Florida.
"We have certain standards in everything we do and their actions do not reflect the way in Georgia," Georgia coach Mark Richt said in a statement on Tuesday, when the suspensions were announced. "They will serve their suspensions, learn a lesson and I am sure to be better men for it."
The Bulldogs will be forced to struggle to find someone to carry the ball Saturday. With 689 yards, Crowell is the team's leading rusher. Richard Samuel, who is second with 240 yards, is sidelined after ankle surgery.
The most experienced player in this season is Brandon Harton. He carried 11 times for 33 yards against Coastal Carolina.

The Founding of Statecraft Simulations, LLC
Statecraft Simulations, LLC was started by three friends in college looking for exciting course materials in social science classrooms.
In 2007, while attending the study abroad program Semester at Sea through the University of Virginia, Sam Smith and Joe Jaeger met through their Political Science Classes aboard the ship while Juniors in college.
On semester at sea all classes are taught by professors from universities around the U.S. Dr. Mabbott or "Lord" Mabbott as he demanded to be called was struck by Sam and Joe's interest in topics and eventually asked that they offer tutoring to help students from other academic tracts other than the social sciences.
While meeting to discuss the upcoming exam in Lord Abbot's course in November of 2007, Sam and Joe talked about how cool it would be to have a computer based political science simulation going over course concepts.
On his return to the states in the summer of 2008, Joe spoke with his roommate, Adam Simmons, about the business concept. Adam was soon brought onto the team and the company incorporated in 2009 with Sam Smith as Chief Marketing Officer, Adam Simmons as Chief Financial Officer, and Joe Jaeger as Chief Executive Officer.
Finding the Statecraft Simulation
Initial design ideas for simulations proved fairly difficult. In a Co-Authorship with Dr. Nishikawa, Joe Jaeger helped design a short simulation game that was based on an article in Dr. Nishikawa's Political Theories class as a research project.
While the simulation proved successful in delayed tests between a sim class and a "control" test class, it immediately became evident that building a fully automated and effective simulation would be challenging
The Roving Bandit Simulation, which was designed to last just 20 minutes, cost 3.5 Months of Design, 2 Months of Programming, Thousands of Dollars, and an Education Grant from Trinity University.
It was starting to become obvious that the team would need to find a simulation that was already heavily tested and designed by a Professor in Political Science.
In Fall of 2008, while Joe was working with Dr. Nishikawa his sister, Jana Jaeger (now Jana Jamail) was taking Dr. Keller's Introduction to International Relations Course. Dr. Keller had created a simulation called Virtual World while a graduate student at The Ohio State University that had engaging game qualities inspired off of best selling strategy games and designed to convey over 50 IR Theories over 7 to 10 weeks of the semester.
Jana and Joe would talk multiple times a week about her simulation experience and Joe actually found himself drawn into the drama of her virtual world as they discussed strategies, the ever changing political dynamics between countries, and the economic, terrorist, environmental, and humanitarian crisis she was facing on a weekly basis.
It was evident that Virtual World was the perfect sim for the team. Shortly after Jana's class she introduced Joe to Dr. Keller through a phone call. After many discussions Dr. Keller partnered with Digital World Construction, LLC (aka Statecraft Simulations) to publish Virtual World as a web based simulation called "Statecraft" in 2009.
After raising a round of investment the first version of Statecraft was published in December of 2010. In January of 2011, Texas Christian University was the first school to sign up and use the simulation.
Today Statecraft has been used in over 245 Universities in 13 Countries around the world with a 4.53 Instructor Satisfaction Rating in 2016 surveys.
Dr. Keller is currently working with Statecraft Simulations to create new sims for American Government, U.S. History, and U.S. Foreign Policy Courses.
The Vision of Statecraft Simulations
By creating fun, convenient, and highly effective simulation experiences for instructors and students Statecraft Simulations seeks to ignite student curiosity and passion for learning regardless of socioeconomic background or innate affinity for academic work.

As a Holiday Inn Barnsley wedding photographer I had the good fortune document Jess & Adam's special day. It was my first time at this venue.
The Holiday Inn Barnsley is conveniently located just off the M1 J37 and is what I would call a hidden gem. Set off the main road, it has everything you would want to find from a wedding venue. Modern, well decorated reception rooms, a stylish garden for stunning wedding photographs and great service. Oh and not to mention plenty of rooms for guests to stumble into after the party is finished.
Jess and Adam are childhood sweethearts and anyone watching them could see clearly how much in love they were.
The photo above was taken after the couples portraits session. As we entered the reception area, I saw a piano which I thought would make a great reflection. Initially I wanted to move the piano but it was incredibly heavy and not on wheels. I wanted the focus of this photograph to be on the happy bride so I asked Adam, the groom to lean slightly against the column then look at his bride. I then asked Jess to look into the camera and be happy! Simple but effective.
I would love the opportunity to photograph again at the Holiday Inn Barnsley near Sheffield. So if you are planning your wedding here then I'd love to hear from you and find out more about your big day.
Location: Holiday Inn, Barnsley Rd, Dodworth, Barnsley S75 3JT.
