Recent press accounts have the nation's big cities in the throes of a "new crime wave."
Police chiefs and mayors have lobbied the federal government for assistance in combatting violent crime. In response, Attorney General Loretta Lynch held a "Summit on Violent Crime" in Washington on October 7th that brought together chiefs, mayors and federal officials to address the crime increase and discuss policy options.
I attended that meeting and had the chance to ask FBI Director James Comey a question that has concerned me throughout the news coverage of the crime increase: Why are we relying on press accounts instead of the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) for crime statistics?
The UCR, after all, is the nation's official source of crime data from the police. If we were facing an influenza outbreak, we would be getting weekly case counts from the Centers for Disease Control. If the unemployment rate had jumped, we would turn to the Bureau of Labor Statistics for last month's job figures. So, why doesn't the FBI release timely statistics to track monthly crime rates so that policymakers and the public can determine whether the country is, in fact, in the midst of a significant crime increase?
In answer to my question, Director Comey said that, as far as he knew, the FBI could not release up-to-date crime figures because it doesn't have them. He also said he would check with the UCR program to see what might be possible in the future.
The Uniform Crime Reports
It is useful to recount how the UCR program compiles crime data from the approximately 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the United States. In most instances, the program no longer receives the data directly from local law enforcement agencies. Instead, as the Data Quality Guidelines for the FBI's reports make clear, most agencies report monthly crime and related UCR data to their state-level UCR program or comparable Statistical Analysis Center (SAC).
The UCR's state partners check the data for completeness and accuracy and then send it on to the FBI, where final checks are done and the data are readied for release in the annual report Crime in the United States.
At any given time, therefore, the FBI has on hand monthly crime information that has gone through an initial data quality evaluation by its state partners. State UCR programs and SACs vary in how rapidly they submit their data to the national UCR. Some do so monthly, others wait until after the collection year.
If many state programs do not currently submit timely crime data to the national UCR, nothing prevents the FBI from requesting more rapid reporting. Even if the national UCR program received timely crime data covering just five percent of the nation's law enforcement jurisdictions, we would have a picture of emerging crime problems in 900 areas across the country, rather than the few dozen cities that the most diligent news reporters have managed to survey—which has led to what one writer has characterized as "scare headlines."
Editors Note: The following two sections are drawn in part from "The Big Picture: 2010 Presidential Address to the American Society of Criminology," by Richard Rosenfeld, published in Criminology (v. 49, pp. 1-26).
Back to the Future
Crime in the United States is released annually about nine-to-ten months after the end of the collection year. The FBI published yearend data for 2014, for example, in late September of this year.
It has not always been this way. The FBI has actually taken several steps backward over time in promulgating the UCR data in the slender time increments needed for rapid policy evaluation and response.
When the UCR program began in 1930, the data were released on a monthly basis. A quarterly release schedule was adopted in 1932. True, there were fewer law enforcement agencies back then, but the data were entered in pen and ink, or on typewriters, and sent by the post office to the FBI.
As a cost-saving measure during World War II, the FBI switched to semi-annual reports, which lasted until 1958 with the publication of the first annual volume of Crime in the United States. So, here we are, well into the twenty-first century when most law enforcement agencies compile crime data in electronic form, looking back in envy to the good old days of 1932—when the nation's crime statistics were released on a schedule that made them useful for tracking crime problems as they arose.
It is difficult to believe that the FBI is incapable of reviving this 80-year-old best practice in an age of electronic data entry and instantaneous submission.
The Need for Comparative Crime Data
We also know that it is possible to disseminate the UCR data more rapidly than 21 months after the beginning of the collection year, because a large and growing number of local police departments already post monthly and, in some cases weekly, crime counts on their public websites. And, as noted, many state UCR programs obtain and in some cases publish crime statistics well before they are made available by the FBI.
But the move to real-time data availability at the local and state level prompts a question: If the more rapid release of UCR crime data is tenable, why is it necessary? After all, local police departments, especially the larger ones, are now capable of producing real-time data that can be used to address emerging crime problems.
Rapid data collection and retrieval are the digital foundation for the hot-spots and problem-oriented policing strategies now so much in vogue. If the St. Louis or San Francisco police department has adequate data for monitoring and responding to local crime problems, what use would they have for comparable data from Cleveland or Chicago?
The same question might be asked about the policy relevance of public-health or economic data. If we already know the local heart-disease or unemployment rate, for example, why do we care about the prevalence of heart disease or unemployment elsewhere? The answer of course is that the origins of heart disease and unemployment transcend local boundaries. The local conditions are manifestations of broader patterns and trends. The same is true of crime, a point made repeatedly by the local representatives at the Attorney General's crime summit.
If local crime rates represent variations on a common theme, then the first task of the policy maker is to place the local changes in the context of general trends. Knowing whether local crime rates correspond with or diverge from broader patterns is essential for developing effective local responses. If local conditions are part of a general pattern, then interventions proven effective elsewhere should be high on the list of candidates for local adoption.
If the local rates are diverging from common trends, it is a good bet they are being driven by idiosyncratic local conditions (e.g., a flare up in gang conflicts), which would call for interventions specifically tailored to the local scene. Either way, comparative crime data are needed to determine the nature of local crime problems and to respond appropriately.
What Should Be Done?
FBI staffers are currently working with the Bureau of Justice Statistics to upgrade national statistics on crime and police shootings. Director Comey urged the mayors and police chiefs at the October 7th crime summit to adopt the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) in their jurisdictions, which has been in the works since the 1980s but still covers only about a third of the US population. These are welcome steps, but they will not help national and local policymakers address current crime increases. We cannot respond knowledgably to this year's crime problems, determine their size and scope, or figure out what may be causing them with last year's crime statistics.
Reporters have done due diligence in informing us that crime rates are up in some cities. They have filled an information void that is almost unimaginable in any other policy arena well into the 21st century.
The FBI should close the crime information gap now, or hand off this urgent policy priority to another federal agency that will.

Some movies go deeper than others.
Especially movies about submarines.
The Hunt for Red October and Das Boot are two of my favorites, but since Netflix came out with The Wolf's Call, I love the genre even more.
Of course this only has a little bit to do with me being able to take my new Dolby Atmos® sound system to its limits.
The Wolf's Call (Le Chant Du Loup) is about Chanteraide, a French submarine technician known for his "Golden Ears." With just a few seconds of audio, he can detect the make, model, and nationality of another vessel. In times of a nuclear crisis this is a good ability to have.
I'm not going to spoil the movie by telling you the plot, but if you like tense scenes in small quarters and the future of civilization being at stake, I have a feeling you're going to enjoy this French production.
I watched the movie while no one else was in the house, and the realistic 3-D surround sound effects put me right in the middle of the action.
In a way, the main character of this movie reminded me a bit of myself. I spend most of my days in closed, darkened quarters, listening carefully to my students, my colleagues, and to my own voice.
My ears are used to picking up every sound, every pop, every crackle, every bit of mouth noise, every breath, every sign of high frequency sibilance, and low frequency rumble.
I wouldn't be able to do my job without my "golden ears," but here's the problem:
Perhaps it's just me, or perhaps it's a side-effect of what I do for living. Having worked in radio and doing voice-overs, my ears have become super sensitive. Some may call it professional deformation, a physical or psychological condition stemming from years of working in the same profession.
Here are some of my annoying symptoms:
– I'm avoiding big movie theaters because I usually find the sound too loud (especially the trailers). And when I go to see an IMAX blockbuster I bring ear plugs.
– I'm staying away from social situations where loud music is playing, and people have to yell to make themselves understood (e.g. the annual NYC VO Christmas Meetup).
– I don't go to restaurants where the music is loud or live. Americans named it the number one most bothersome aspect of eating out. According to Zagat's 2018 survey of dining trends, loud music outweighs the usual suspects of bad service and high prices.
By the way, there's a handy app helping you to monitor sound and find quiet eating spots called SoundPrint.
– I hate fireworks. It's become legal in Pennsylvania to buy a wide variety of noisy firecrackers, Roman candles, and bottle rockets. However, it's illegal to set them off within 150 feet of an occupied structure. Of course no one cares.
This year the fireworks noise in my neighborhood started weeks before July 4th, and it's still going on. Every time I hear a loud bang, it startles me, and my heart rate jumps through the roof.
But it's not just the volume of the sound that bothers me. Lately, I cringe at softer sounds as well. For example, I find the smacking noises of people eating close to me thoroughly annoying. Someone gulping loudly on a beverage disgusts me. I loathe people chewing gum with their mouth open.
The other day, I was sitting next to a guy in a hospital waiting room who was exhaling very audibly through his snotty nose. I had to sit elsewhere and ended up next to a man who put his earbuds in, and began listening to booming hip hop. Aargh!
Of course there were tons of kids playing beeping games on their irritating tablets, mothers talking trash on their cell phones, and TV's blasting the latest terrible news. It's the ideal environment for healing to take place, don't you think?
The trouble is that we've created a noisy society where people have grown accustomed to a certain decibel level and have learned to tune out unwanted sounds. Or -in case of a younger generation- they've lost part of their hearing and they don't know it.
I've noticed this when coaching teenagers and people over sixty. When I point out some of the noises I hear in their audio, they are incredulous because they don't hear what I hear. It's not because they won't, but because they can't! I have to show the pops and clicks on the soundwave to them, otherwise they don't believe me.
Anyway, my ears seem to be fine, and what I am experiencing may be the result of selective sound sensitivity syndrome, or misophonia (literally: hatred of sound). It's a disorder in which certain sounds trigger emotional or physiological responses that some might perceive as unreasonable given the circumstance. According to WebMD…
"Individuals with misophonia often report they are triggered by oral sounds — the noise someone makes when they eat, breathe, or even chew. Other adverse sounds include keyboard or finger tapping or the sound of windshield wipers. Sometimes a small repetitive motion is the cause — someone fidgets, or wiggles their foot."
According to recent studies, misophonia is a brain-based disorder. Researchers point to a disruption in the connectivity in parts of the brain that process both sound stimulation and the fight/flight response. It also involves parts of the brain that code the importance of sounds.
Just to be clear: misophonia is not a psychiatric disorder. It is a complex sensory disorder that impacts the brains ability to process information.
I can tell you this: having had a stroke certainly disrupted my brain in a major way. It still reaches sensory overload pretty quickly, and has trouble processing information. That's why it's not safe for me to drive a car. At the same time, I also believe my ears have been trained to be sensitive to sound and to detect anomalies.
In other words, it's a blessing as well as a curse.
If you recognize this sensitivity to sound and you feel comfortable sharing this with the world, please add some comments below so people like me know we're not alone.
If you have some of the same symptoms, you might want to check out Misophonia International, a resource website developed by two sufferers of misophonia. In the U.S. there's also the Misophonia Association, an organization revolving around education, advocacy, research, and support.
I think I'm coping with what my ears tell me by using an avoidance strategy. If I have to go to public spaces that are known to be noisy, I take my headphones and listen to my favorite podcasts, such as the VO Boss and the VO Meter. It's my way of tuning out the environment.
On other days, I just have to watch one of those fabulous submarine movies.
How about Down Periscope or Operation Petticoat?

The feeling of being trapped, deep down inside, must be horrifying.
- Heather Henderson
Yes, yes, to your blog post and to what everyone said in their comments. I feel your pain! I've dealt with this all my life — as well as tinnitus, hyperacusis, all kinds of -usses and -isses. The worst for me is auditory processing disorder, which makes it hard for my brain to multi-task and prioritize more than one sound at a time — so if the TV is on while someone is talking to me, I want to scream and break things. My iso booth is my refuge from the overwhelming outside world of sounds; I always come out of a session feeling soothed and recharged. Sorry your stroke has made some of this worse, Paul, but as usual, you are dealing with it in your practical and empowering Dutch way. Thanks for writing about it!
- Dennis Kleinman
Paul – I concur completely with all you have said. As I was reading your blog, the word misophonia came to mind as was pleased to see that further along. I also can't stand the sounds of mouth noises when someone is eating – it creates a feeling that borders on uncontrollability almost bordering on rage – I think it goes back to my German grandmother who would always tell people to eat with their mouths closed. What I have become so much more aware of is the amount of noise that exists around – we are in fact being bombarded with noise pollution which is very unhealthy for the soul. Great article in bringing attention to what so many people gloss over as being part of life!!
- T Diaz
How about the potential for lots of sibilance in "selective sound sensitivity syndrome?" Hey, I might have to use that as a part of a vocal warm-up! 😉
- Ted Mcaleer
Good aural hygiene begins young. I was an ASSHAT about insisting on correct hearing protection when there was noise in and around a workspace. As a result I maintained my hearing for 21 years on warships. I silently suffer when a repetitive noise happens – One of the great things about being in the booth is, the only noise is the one I'm making! 🙂
- Roy B. Yokelson
Thanks for explaining Paul. I do not suffer from this, although we both 'hear for a living'. I AM sensitive to, and annoyed by, LOUD TV playing, especially when it's just on as background noise. Now that my parents have hearing aids, visits there are less 'painful'.
Keep up the good work, Paul – and: Shhhhhhhh!
- Anna Crowe
My experience is not quite so severe, but I am aware of my sensitivity, which I always attributed to DNA and 30 years as a TV producer for both audio and video. Want to drive me nuts? Have two audio sources (a TV and a radio) playing at the same time. Device volumes are almost always too loud for me, I'm always turning stuff down. I hear every mouth noise, every sharp breath (NPR, PLEASE!). Loud restaurant? Don't care how good the food is, I won't be back.
- Joe Passaro
I actually found out I likely have misophonia thanks to a DNA test through 23andme. Apparently it's a pretty common trait. We're not just grumpy–we have a physical reason you're loud chewing bothers us!
- Brad
Thank you so much for this Paul,
I did not know that my affliction was a real thing and that it had a name !
I've always suffered from this and only has been made worse by becoming a full-time voice actor.
I now find myself shutting down a bit in a loud bar with music playing and people screaming to be heard ?
- Helen Lloyd
Oh I am so glad to find that I am not the only one! I absolutely avoid shops and restaurants with music, hate going to the cinema, wear earplugs when I'm going to noisy places. Noise pollution seems to be everywhere! And I seem to be hypersensitive. Thought I was the only one!

As we age, our hearing begins to suffer. I have tinnitus. Probably from wearing my Koss Pro 4 headphones to Mach 2 when I was a young dj. Ringing in my ears never stops but gets louder after I return from a loud event. Movies. Lots of people. Riding in noisy cars. It brings the ringing level up. My brain amazingly tunes out the ringing unless I am thinking about it. But it is causing me to not completely hear some conversations. If people speak to me with their back turned, I am toast and have to ask for a repeat. This annoys my wife, understandably. Looking for hearing aids that can not only bringing high end sounds back for me, but also cancel out the ringing from the tinnitus. Moral of the story…you younger vo people…stay away from loud noises, music, environments. You will eventually pay for it.
- Joshua Alexander
It's Crimson Tide for me- have you seen that one? Oooo! Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman. Classic! Dolby Atmos THAT, my friend!
I hear you though. I've always been sensitive to little audio annoyances like loud chewing or irritating idiosyncrasies that prohibit me from enjoying speech or music or interaction. Maybe I'm a bit ADD in that regard. But I get it!
Yours in annoyance,

Financial Independence does not come just by having a job. Many jobs are low skilled or unskilled and thus millions of persons end up being "disposable" depending on the market or the "whims and fancies" of employers.
Copeland Johnson featured in the link below has shared that "it is important to have a trade, because anyone who does will never go hungry. There will always be a need for you and the service you offer".
These are some of the secrets of financial independence through skills that we learn from him:
- Develop curiosity for new learning.
- If you are employed, learn a skill during your spare time.
- Try to pick up new skills quickly.
- Encourage all young persons to "learn a trade".
- Ensure that you have the inner ability to perform your skill well.
- Don't be afraid to try out a variety of skills and methods of productivity.
- Be creative.
- Ensure that you have the appropriate tools, whether physical or the related knowledge.
- Discover your best specialty.
- "The world beat a path to the person who builds the best mousetrap". People always seek out products or services that add value to their lives. Be prepared for much time and effort in utilizing your skill for quality production.
- Use Google or YouTube and other internet resources to aide in your learning.
- Be ready to learn through apprenticeship, whether formal or informal.
- Let your concern for looking after your family and the needy be a strong motivating factor for earning through your own practical abilities.

Given the increased complexity of today's supply chains, adopting some form of technology, such as a TMS, is critical, whether a shipper purchases a TMS on its own, or works through a 3PL. "I honestly don't know how you can operate in this environment using spreadsheets," says Vincent Chiodo, chief commercial officer of Transplace, a Frisco, Texas-based transportation management services and logistics provider.

Prodigiously Amazing Weaponsmith Chapter 1770
Chapter 1770 Li Moyings Fury 10
His brows rose as he continued to question her, "You went to the Armament Guild to attend the certification? Which rank certification did you take part in? Show me the badge?"
Huang Yueli immediately retrieved the freshly baked seventh ranked Armament Master badge and passed it over to him.
Li Moying turned it around and took a look and said, "Looks like you really went to take part in the certification.."
"Hey, what do you mean by that! Could I even lie to you over this!" Huang Yueli pouted in dissatisfaction.
Li Moying gave a harrumph, "You wont resort to lying to me but its possible that you are hiding something from me."
"When did I?"
"Then let me ask you, youre a fifteen to sixteen year old young lady, heading over to the Armament Guild and saying that you want to be certified for seventh rank Armament Master, didnt they treat you as a lunatic and chased you out? Or they really allowed you to be certified? Moreover, havent you always been afraid of exposing your identity? Running over to the Armament Guild in such a high key fashion, arent you afraid that it would rouse peoples suspicions?"
Li Moying posed question after question and every single sentence were exactly doubtful points.
Huang Yueli knew that he should already have an answer in his heart as she stuck out her tongue and said, "Alright, alright, I admit, its because I wanted to meet Ye Xing Hua so I chose to head over to the Armament Guild today.."
"Oh, I was just saying, so its to meet another man so you secretly kept your own fianc in the dark to enter the city, not even caring about your own safety.."
Before Huang Yueli could finish her words, Li Moying already started to butt in with a sourish tone which could be smelled from miles away.
Huang Yueli went into a blank and burst out laughing, "Why did you put it in such a way! You obviously know that Ye Xing Hua is only my disciple! Moreover, hes the current President in the Armament Guild Headquarters and what is most rare is that hes still totally loyal towards me, and thats really a rare sight.."
"En, so his unwavering loyalty towards you made you feel extremely touched?"
Li Moyings face still bore the cool expression as his arms were wrapped in front of his chest and his sword brows rose up with brilliant radiance flashing past his peach blossomed eyes, making him extraordinarily good looking.
But the tone of that sounded as though it was a young boy whose candied fruits had been snatched away, that kind of tsundere and unhappy feel.
"Who didnt know that Ye Xing Hua had started liking you since he was ten over years old and he was so thick skinned to use armament refining as an excuse to hover around you day after day! I can tell that he has ulterior motives! You really thought he gave up you became his Master? Until now he still cant forget you daily, his feelings towards you are really deep!"
"Anyway, I dont like you to go meet him, not to mention meeting him alone! In future youre not allowed to go to the Armament Guild!"
She knew it!
Huang Yueli was speechless. In their past lives, this man had already hated Ye Xing Hua deeply and had kept obstructing her from heading over to the Armament Guild! In the end, this lifetime turned out to be the same.
But she could give up going anywhere else, but she absolutely could not not head towards the Armament Guild!
Forget about the other matters, there was President Jiangs matters which were waiting for her to investigate the truth to exact revenge.
Huang Yueli bit her lips and suddenly leapt up from the bed as she pounced over to hug Li Moyings waist.
Li Moying wanted to evade her but Huang Yuelis speed was too swift and he was caught unprepared. Not only was he unable to evade her, he also lost his steadiness as he fell down onto the ground.
With a "bang", the two of them landed onto the ground.
Li Moyings back landed onto the ground and he felt a sharp pain as his brows creased whereas Huang Yueli laid on his chest, with her hands grabbed tightly on the clothes around his waist.

What is disheartening is the absurd confussion that not me or Jannis but you dear Claire did raise, even when you were clearly proved wrong.
You are manipulating the information in the same way that your ego is forcing you to move blindly towards a false goal.
This is not personal attack, or lack of harmony. This is true feeling and thought, expressed. Harmony is made of complementary energies.
The 7 day week cannot remain constant without a Day Out of Time because 7×52=364. The 13 Moon synchronometer has a DOOT, the gregorian calendar babylonian week does not. Thats the clear and simple reason of why the radial plasma shift with the days of the weeks, which Valum Votan has stated several times that will not matter anymore.
The funny thing is that you base your belief on a statement from when he was translating the plasmas for the people to understand that DALI is like what we call Sunday, and so… but from there to assuming that the 7 day babylonian week was supposed to be kept is a huge mistake.
And because he smiled at you when you mentioned this you immagine a whole fantasy? He could be thinking whatever like "Funny"
What it disheartening and absurd is that this forum isn't moderated more severely and dissenting opinions advised to take the proverbial hike, in or out of time. A1d7r71, the uncomplimentary energy in point is yours. In the immortal words of Michael Jackson, just "Beat It!" and start your own blog. We'll see how harmonious you remain with catty and insulting remarks.
Claire, I vote to block him/(but probably) her on grounds (s)he's a fifth column. Please!
Please show me any insult by me written, ratso444?
And afcourse that is easier to sustain crazy theories while blocking dissident opinions, you can also have a blog called Absolutely Me !
Oh, and by the way, check the UR dome in CHC vol I page 144 (spanish version) or Section III, chapter 8.

"The Babylonian seven-day week emphasizes the rapidly rotating succession of days that make up the astrologically based work-week. The week is actually the meassure of time in the 12:60 order where every week repeats a superstitious program. So we have the succession of the two-day weekend and five-day work week, ad infinitum. These are controlled by two factors: money and astrology." CHC vol 5 p.59
"From the template of Tollan- the absolute- to the temple of Babylon there ocurred a degeneration of order into chaotic disorder. This is experienced in the modern world as a governing template -the seven-day work week that repeats incessantly- based on irregularity and breeding perpetual dissatisfaction. Tha Vatican has declared that it is a crime against God to break the succession of the seven-day work week. And as noted, 13 is considered unlucky- the unluckiest day being Friday the 13th, a superstition embedded in the Gregorian calendar mindset" CHC vol 5 p.60
"While Tollan is an archetype that ever seeks to emulate the Absolute, Babylon is the restless desire of spirit to explore matter. Thus, in the cosmic evolutionary stage of Babylon, a different order enters the picture. This is the order based on the seven-day week. ….Instead of life lived as the reflection of a pattern in eternity, or cosmic cycles, the meassure of life is based on the seven-day structure imprinted by an ever-repeating, astro-psychology as the time alloted to "earn one's bread"….
"Originally, the Babylonian "week-end" was Sun-day and Moon-day, while the days of the planets made up the work week. But in modern Judeo/Christian times Saturn is the Hebrew holy day and Sunday is the Christian holyday. THE WEEKEND IS A CONFUSED AMALGAM OF BABYLONIAN, JEWISH AND CHRISTIAN HOLY DAYS" P.58
"The Babylonian city consists on the 7-day week" p.59
Babylon is the template of disorder and in the end when Babylon is WIPED AWAY; WAY DOWN BENEATH you will find the template of Tollan and the New Jerusalem: the template of the NEW ORDER. In this order we find the reflection of the higher level cosmic principles of timespace that govern the mnanifestation of all evolved states of consciousness that accomodate both the absolute and the relative expressions of the cycles of time" p.64
just made a fresh and overdue entry next to the curt cobain one i did a while ago at the toma ash dot net hall of tzolkin fame
Adrian recited all those beautiful, cosmic pages from Vol.5 which I read and contemplated on the last days. It is a truly vast and galactic knowledge from an outside of this SOLAR system point of view. There is no need to change anything, not one single point of an i, eye. Recently there was a discussion on the PAN- Facebook Group about self created Kin13Moon systems. At least 2 people promote their version of the 13 Moon calendar. Anton Kornblum with his invented Board Game and nearly daily "Maya code inspirations" and Dwane Rourke with his version. It might be a benefit for some to work with their own system but why then to promote it on "official" 13 moon pages. On top of that Adrian saw a guy on the argentinian book fair where he worked for some days who was promoting and selling his Book of the Kin version. ( with his name) How many more…. Let's make a bla bylon 13 Moon blog where everybody presents his version. A WS with 9 days sounds very much like the C.J. Callemann system. This man stole VV s baktun history map and changed it into 9 sections. He got the fame as being mentioned in the Telektonon Prophecy as a false prophet prom. The nine. Unfortunately he ran out of fuel as his system ended in autumn last year. I think it is more the problems with the LoT people which drive Claire to start this little "revolution". I really appreciated here clear galactic mirror transmissions for over one solar spin. But a mirror can loose its clearness and when she thinks that she has to lead now the new 13 Moon … I will say good bye. We don't need multiple systems. Then I can follow the gregorian calendar which I produce. It contains also some sort of truth and wisdom. See TatT There is no excuse of computer issues and letting this flow into a book anymore. It's time now. Here and now.

He performed a split, a sundering, a hide to seek upon himself, creased and folded some of his wellroundedness away, the garden culture he lost and went in search of AT THE SAME TIME … AT A SINGLE BLOW.

Guess, now that I'm here i'll deposit some fresh thinking from yesterday:
hint/spoiler: earthly code upload is euphemitis for green leaves
FuturoPrimitivoBlog (youtube account moniker)
3 vids from 09 (only ones there) – infinito tv w JA and Jorge Mora .. Jose shows up 6.13 in part 1* shot amongst the pyramids .. Tassini shows 3rd minute part 2
* – ps (next day): i debated about posting a comment thusly:
no matter how much i marvel at Jose's aptitude for game and riddle design, to emphasize and insist on the validity, accuracy, universality and even "galacticality" ( results) of his divination/count certainly spoils the playfulness of it all. If indeed the margins or error are as narrow as all that and even ery slight deviation or the wrong adjustment interval, whatever, causes unnecessary waste, collision, carnage and suffering – the stuff inmendham the hyper intello vidder manages to voice his aggravation about, blowing up with tyrranical impatience on a 6 way confcall over errors his colleagues (leading lights of the atheist youtuber community), who, unlike him, agree to sound as pleasantly amicable as possible and co-operatively look for the sunny side of things.
To wit, right at the start JA makes the distinction that time has no spatial extent and is intangible, of the mind. Her he splits and distinquishes, isolates and sterilizes at the exact point time and it's keeping begin, thus aborting it.
He is in every way an extreme case of body denial in favor of his etheric tuning to far off space and time (see michelvec's vid of a lady reading Steiner on the temperaments, though one cannot separate the body into four parts, our psyche proves capable of suppressing 3 and ascribing all to one … consistently) … explains why he ignored me so easily come to think of it. Compost is too vulgar and crude for him .. which is the only reason he idealized it.
Where else does time start and get kept but at a beat (node/knot nick nod fold)?
To mindfully personify and internalize it is not the only and more like only half the way .. best enjoyed as thought after work – you simply pinch a rock
Time times two makes myriads of runtime lifetime calendar length and clockwind ups.
I thought this was elegant and simple enough and related to most major groups of society enough to bring about the exact same thing JA claims to work towards: garden culture, indigene wisdom X permaculture and neoteny at play. Perimeter tours and bottom border tweaks. A fluff up that brings biomass weight to bear like not even the redwood forest or Manhattan can compete with

2019 Prediction: Location Services & Conversational Commerce
February 4, 2019 | Contributed by: LSA Editors
It's Not Just Voice, it's conversational commerce. Everyone is talking about voice. But voice's popularity taps into a larger trend in marketing – the shift towards conversational commerce. Conversational commerce, through voice assistants and chatbots, streamlines the customer journey and eliminates friction. And as artificial intelligence improves, these conversational experiences will only get better and more personal.
Location data is the centerpiece of that evolution. It can power a more differentiated and tailored experience for the end-user. Brands will also rely on geolocation to make more performance-driven campaigns. This will be really valuable for brick-and-mortar retailers who want to encourage nearby foot traffic.
Click-and-collect to deliver even more proximity-based convenience. For brick-and-mortar retailers, in an Amazon world, convenience is everything. This is one of the main drivers of the "near me" mobile search phenomenon, for example, with more opting to shop based on what's closest. Proximity and convenience are often synonymous.
In the same vein, I think 2019 will be the year click-and-collect – also called buy online, pickup in-store – finally goes mainstream. Savvy brands are creating cutting-edge click-and-collect experiences to standout to shoppers and deliver more proximity-based convenience. And Doddle, the big click-and-collect tech provider, also launched in the US this week at NRF, confirming it'll be a huge trend this year.
SMB is poised to spend big on location. SMB marketers are going to ramp up spend on location-based campaigns. Whether it's location-driven ads, more local brand pages or geo-triggered email and marketing automation, to compete, SMBs need to get personal. Location unlocks that capability. This is a good thing for content, SEO and digital agencies that serve SMBs. The demand for location services is a massive revenue opportunity.

America Needs An Energy-Strong Alaska
alaska us energy security anwr beaufort sea chukchi sea
Mark Green
Posted May 31, 2019
The stage and podium banners at the Alaska Oil and Gas Association Conference in Anchorage this week had a simple, direct message – "Alaska: Back On The Map." Certainly, the U.S. will be stronger, more secure and prosperous if the energy in Alaska and the Arctic offshore are developed to their potential.
This was the main point of keynote remarks by API President and CEO Mike Sommers (speech video here) – that an energy-strong Alaska makes America energy strong. The critical factor, Sommers said, is securing access to reserves – in the Alaskan offshore, the designated development zone of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge's (ANWR) coastal plain and the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A).
Energy Development Benefits Life on Alaska's North Slope
Jessica Lutz
Posted June 21, 2018
Last week, we wrote about the many benefits to opening up a small portion of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to natural gas and oil development – especially job creation, economic growth and long-term U.S. energy security. But there's another benefit that warrants attention, and that's the direct, measured improvements in the lives of Alaskans living in areas where energy development is occurring.
Another Big Reason to Open ANWR for Safe Development
Jessica Lutz
Posted June 15, 2018
We've talked at length about the many benefits to opening up a small portion of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to natural gas and oil development. There can be little doubt about ANWR's importance to the United States' long-term energy security.
The point is underscored in a new report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), analyzing the potential impact of natural gas and oil development in the coastal plain of ANWR. The results reiterate what we've been saying all along – ANWR's energy potential is incredibly large, and is a key part of a long-term U.S. energy vision.

Posted July 24, 2013
National Journal – Ethanol Mandates Starting to Worry Some Senate Democrats
NJ's Amy Harder reports that ethanol requirements in the Renewable Fuel Standard are generating pressure on some Democratic senators. "Mid-Atlantic lawmakers, in particular, are hearing from the poultry industry, which is concerned about rising feedstock prices, and from oil refineries, which are facing increased costs for blending ethanol with gasoline," writes Harder.
PennLive.com – Hydraulic Fracturing is Well Regulated
In a letter to the editor, the executive director of the Associated Petroleum Industries of Pennsylvania counters claims by anti-hydraulic fracturing groups and individuals. "In reality, hydraulic fracturing is rigorously regulated by state agencies and federal laws overseeing oil and natural gas development," writes Stephanie Wissman. "In addition, strict standards are developed by the oil and natural gas industry in collaboration with specialists who best understand the unique geology and hydrology of their communities."

The idea and establishment of a Pre-School and Kindergarten library was crucial and well needed in order to meet the educational goals of these two programs. The library aims at assisting Pre-School and Kindergarten Faculty in their teaching process through a current and evaluated collection of both print and electronic materials. The ultimate goal of the library is to cultivate the love of books to its young students, and teach them how to use books both as a source of leisure and a source of knowledge.
The above mentioned material is divided into two distinct main collections:
Teachers' Collection, which includes books with specific academic content regarding the teaching experience and process.
Open Collection, which includes books that only young Pre-School and Kindergarten students and faculty can borrow directly.
Books under the above categories are classified according to their subject and the language they are written in.
Borrowing Rights for the above collections:
Pre-School and Kindergarten Faculty can borrow books from both collections. Their borrowing privileges can be viewed here;
Pre-School and Kindergarten Students can borrow up to 3 books only from the Open Collection. The Teacher responsible for each class is allowed to check out books to his/her students every Friday and students can keep the books only for the weekend. Last, but not least,
Pre-School and Kindergarten Parents or Guardians can borrow up to 3 books only from the "Dimitris & Aliki Perrotis Library" for 14 days. They may also use the aforementioned library's reading areas.
Every library member needs to have a Library Card in order to be able to borrow library material. Pre-School and Kindergarten students become library members automatically the day they enroll.
You can browse through our Library's catalog here.

We hope you feel the love of Jesus at our church! We have two services on Sundays (9:45 AM and 12:00 PM), with lunch served in between. Sermons and scripture readings are different at each service, so our church members usually stay for both. On most Wednesdays, we have one service at 7:45 PM. Services last about 75 minutes and consist of the following:
- 15 minutes of singing
- Old Testament reading
- Hymn and Prayer
- New Testament reading
- Sermon (about 30 minutes)
- Closing thoughts by a second minister
- Hymn and Prayer
- Announcements and any other closing remarks
Our services are traditional. Music consists of four-part a cappella singing, including a mix of familiar hymns and classical German melodies. Sermons usually are not prepared beforehand; ministers prayerfully open the Bible and rely on the Holy Spirit to provide the message that needs to be heard.
You do not need to wear a particular type of clothing when visiting our church. While there is no dress code, the custom of our church members is to put on the proverbial "Sunday best," meaning that men often wear suits or shirts/ties, and women usually wear dresses or skirts. You may notice many women wearing veils on their head. As visitors, women may or may not choose to wear a veil.
We encourage our families and couples to be inclusive of individuals who may attend church by themselves. To this end, you will see groups of women sitting with women and men sitting with men, rather than most couples sitting together.
Our church members often greet one another with a traditional holy kiss, as mentioned in the New Testament.
Bibles are provided inside the sanctuary, though some people choose to bring their own. We use the King James Version Bible during services.
For Children
We are thankful to have many children in our church family. If you plan to bring a baby or toddler, we have a baby room that is furnished with changing pads, rocking chairs, a few toys, a bottle-sized refrigerator, microwave, sink, and family restroom. We also have individual sleeping/nursing rooms that each contain a rocking chair, Pack n Play, sound machine, and video monitor. Children under three years old stay with their parent/guardian during morning and afternoon services; childcare is not provided for that age group.
Children three and older may attend Sunday School during the morning service. (Sunday School is not offered during Summer). If you have children that age, they are welcome to attend (or they can sit with you in the main church service, if you prefer). The morning begins with all students singing together in the Sunday School assembly area. Students are then split up by age group into classrooms where they participate in Bible lessons and activities with their peers.
All children sit with their parent/guardian during the afternoon service.
On Sundays, we have a morning and afternoon service with lunch from 11:00 to 12:00. Lunch is free of charge and is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen relationships or meet new people.
We look forward to meeting you!
Thank you for joining us in worship! We hope you enjoy your visit and return soon.
I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. – Psalm 122:1

PACIFIC OCEAN – Live fire from ships and aircraft participating in Rim of the Pacific 2016 sank the decommissioned USS Crommelin (FFG 37) July 19 in waters 15,000 feet deep and 55 nautical miles north of Kauai, Hawaii.
RIMPAC units, including the Royal Canadian Navy Halifax-class frigate Her Majesty's Canadian Ship Calgary (FF 335), Royal New Zealand Navy ship HMNZS Te Kaha (F77), Littoral combat ship USS Coronado (LCS 4), and various aircraft from the U.S. and Australia gained proficiency in targeting and live firing at a surface target.
"This SINKEX was the culmination of weeks of training within the RIMPAC scenario," said Royal Australian Navy Commodore Malcolm Wise. "We know that this opportunity rarely occurs in a Sailor's career and I'm excited that we were able to provide this unforgettable experience during the world's largest international maritime exercise."
This marked the first time that the U.S. Independence-variant littoral combat ship successfully fired a harpoon missile, a weapon typically used by larger classes of ships.
Former Navy vessels used in SINKEXs are prepared in strict compliance with regulations prescribed and enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency under a general permit the Navy holds pursuant to the Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act.
Each SINKEX is required to sink the hulk in at least 1,000 fathoms (6,000 feet) of water and at least 50 nautical miles from land. Surveys are conducted to ensure that humans and marine mammals are not in an area where they could be harmed during the event.
Prior to the vessel being transported for participation in a SINKEX, each vessel is put through a rigorous cleaning process, including the removal of all polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), transformers and large capacitors, all small capacitors to the greatest extent practical, trash, floatable materials, mercury or fluorocarbon-containing materials and readily detachable solid PCB items. Petroleum is also cleaned from tanks, piping and reservoirs.
A Navy civilian environmental, safety and health manager and a quality assurance supervisor inspect the environmental remediation conducted in preparation of a vessel's use in a SINKEX. Upon completion of the environmental remediation, the manager and supervisor provide signed certification of the work in accordance with EPA requirements.
Decommissioned USS Crommelin was the 28th ship of the Oliver Hazard Perry-class guided-missile frigates, named for three brothers: Vice Adm. Henry Crommelin, who became a Surface Warfare officer, and Cmdr. Charles and Lt. Cmdr. Richard Crommelin, both of whom died in combat as naval aviators. All three brothers gained fame in World War II, attaining outstanding combat records and multiple decorations. Crommelin was commissioned June 18, 1983 and originally homeported in Long Beach, Ca. August 1983. Over her long career, the ship participated in more than eight deployments, was involved in exercises such as Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT), Koa Kai and conducted counter narcotics operations, among other missions.
Held every two years by Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet and executed by Commander, U.S. 3rd Fleet, RIMPAC is the world's largest biennial international maritime exercise. Twenty-six nations, more than 40 ships and submarines, more than 200 aircraft, and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC from June 30 to Aug. 4, in and around the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California. RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain the cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of seal lanes and security on the world's oceans.

This morning Neurotrack, a Redwood City, California-based startup focused on cognitive health, announced that it scored $21 million in Series C funding round. Khosla Ventures led the round with participation from Dai-ichi Life, SOMPO holdings, Sozo Ventures, Rethink Impact, AME Cloud Partners and Marc Benioff.
This news comes a little over a year after the startup closed its Series B funding, raising $13.7 million.
Neurotrack's platform was designed with the dual purpose of assessing memory loss and cognitive decline, as well as preventing these conditions from progressing.
One part of the platform gives individuals with Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairments a baseline assessment, which takes around five minutes. The asssessement is taken on a regular basis to help track disease progression.
The platform has another component that includes a memory health program. This was designed to help users manage either exercise, diet, sleep and stress. It also offers cognitive training exercises.
The new money will be put towards commercializing Neurotrack's Memory Health Program. The startup is also looking to expand into global markets.
The challenge of aging populations in the US, Europe and beyond has created a market for digital tools catering to seniors.
Recently Altoida, a digital platform that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to help predict Alzheimer's disease, closed a $6.3 million Series A found.
Optina Diagnostics is also working on scanning for Alzheimer's disease. The company uses spectral retinal imaging and AI to scan for early signs of the condition.
"Neurotrack has built an incredible integrative platform that is transforming our battle with Alzheimer's," Jenny Abramson, founder and managing partner of Rethink Impact, said in a statement. "Elli's two decades of experience in the private sector and in government are helping her scale this solution to the millions of people suffering from cognitive decline around the world. We couldn't be more excited to continue to support Neurotrack, given both the financial opportunity and the impact they are already having on this critical disease."

Do You Use Somebody's First Name or Last Name? The Answer Speaks Volumes.
In a professional setting, referring to someone by last name only conveys more eminence—and it's more common for discussing men than women
When discussing prominent figures in literature, we may mention such giants as Jane Austen, Hemingway, Dickens and Virginia Woolf. In contemporary politics, perhaps we'll bring up Obama, Trump, Angela Merkel and Theresa May.
Did you notice anything odd about the preceding paragraph? There's clearly a pattern: We referred to the women by full name and to the men by surname alone. That's a tendency that's common in many professional fields—and it could be a disadvantage for women.

How to program any beverage of your choice for magical results.
Dr. Maseru Emoto is most famous for developing a means of freezing water in order to photograph the unique crystals that form under backlit high power magnification.
He started inputting words and music to the water and photographed the water crystals before and after.
What he found was that water responds positively and negatively to words and music. For example, the word love results in an exquisite water crystal whereas the word hate results in a distorted water crystal.
Our task is to chant the world, chant the beauty. The world is a reflection of our chanting. − Billy Yellow, Navajo medicine man
This also proves that there is a direct correspondence between human thoughts and emotions and the very shape of the matter that surrounds you. When you treat yourself with love the water in your body responds in kind. When you treat yourself with self-loathing the water in your body is being programmed with that energy.
Knowing that your body hears everything you think and feel, it makes sense to remain aware of what you are repeating to yourself over and over via your thoughts, words and dominant emotional state. So how can you deliberately imbue more of what you desire into your being?
Thanks to Dr. Emoto we already know you can tape a word like "love", "joy" or "peace" to your drinking water. But how can you take it even one step further?
How to Make Galactic Tea
{This applies to any preferred beverage of your choice}
- Add the symbol of a planet to the coaster you keep your cup on or discreetly place it between the cup and saucer to infuse the water crystals in your cup with those particular characteristics you would like to embody. If you prefer to use sound instead, chant the keyword of your intention over the cup.
Here are some ideas…
Energy boost, success and enhancing your public image.
Increase psychic powers, dreaming practise, matters relating to women's health.
Courage, stamina, strength, passion and sexual energy.
Augment communication skills, memory and clarity of mind.
Cultivating wealth, luck, influence and spiritual wisdom.
*Jupiter amplifies whatever vibration is most dominant in your life. Please refrain from employing this energy if you are in any kind of emotional turmoil, or focussed on debt and lack etc.
Love, romance, marriage, harmony and peace.
Protection, fortifying willpower, family matters and ancestral wisdom.
Download a sheet with all the symbols on it here for your ease of reference
- Once you have drawn the symbol on a piece of paper hold it between the palms of your hands in front of you heart. Imagine the symbol being infused with life force, sense the feeling you will have after you have got the result you want. Beam that energy into the very fibres of the paper. It is done.
- If you are opting for the chant version, imagine the sound infusing the liquid with life force etcetera.
- Water that has been energised enters your bloodstream, the life force energy is then transferred to an electromagnetic network that exists between your circulatory system and nervous system.
- From there it moves to your energy meridians and then to your chakras, which transfer this "programmed" energy to your aura that emits a signal into the universe drawing people and circumstances that match your vibration into your experience.
- Sip and enjoy as you envision your body's cells reprogrammed, aligned and repatterned according to your intentions!
If you are confused or frustrated about spellcasting or totally inexperienced Zero to Witch is a sacred journey that will take you from Spellcasting Novice to Spellcasting Adept in just 8 weeks.
(Without long-winded, dry, complicated ceremonial procedures and a long list of additional items to buy or any mandatory ritualist tools). Your body is a magick wielding miracle and I'll show you EXACTLY how to be your own wand!

The Queensland Nurses Union (QNU) wants both major parties to commit to finalising a new enterprise bargain agreement within a month of the state election.
The current deal covering nurses and midwives expires a week after the March 24 poll.
The QNU says it is disappointed a draft agreement was not finalised before the Bligh Labor government entered caretaker mode.
QNU secretary Beth Mohle says members are now particularly interested in hearing from the Liberal National Party (LNP).
"We are concerned about the activities of governments in New South Wales and Victoria where nurses and midwives in those states, [their] rights have been significantly denuded as a result of a change of government," she said.
"Our members are concerned just to make sure their interests are protected."
Ms Mohle says five months of negotiations had already resolved a range of issues, including a 3 per cent annual pay rise.
"We just didn''t get there in the end because there was some significant issues that remained outstanding that were very important to nurses and midwives in Queensland," she said.
"We certainly weren't prepared to settle for a sub-standard deal so it has now become an election issue."

THOMAS TASCHINGER: Politician's past could decide his future
"The past is never dead. It's not even past."
That line from William Faulkner is usually used in reference to the South and its ghostly connections to the time of our grandparents. But more and more, it applies to politicians who find themselves squirming when youthful antics suddenly become front-page news.
Mind you, it's not a completely new phenomenon. Politicians have been haunted by old charges dredged up by opponents ever since George Washington was accused of being a Deist instead of a Christian, which was probably true.
But today the practice of "opposition research" has become an art form. If you're running for office or getting ready for confirmation hearings, you'd better hope you didn't do anything too wacky back in the day — or if you did, nobody remembers it.
Now the spotlight is on the state of Virginia, where the top three officials are fighting for their political lives.
Gov. Ralph Northam's yearbook from medical school, bizarrely and completely lacking context, had a photo of one person in blackface and another in a Ku Klux Klan outfit.
First he said he was in one of the photos (though he wouldn't say which one), and then he denied that role — though he admitted appearing in blackface for a Michael Jackson dance contest.
Northam is resisting huge pressure to resign, but now the drama has taken a more disturbing turn. Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax has been accused by not one but two women of sexual assault. That's not just a youthful prank if it happened. It's a crime, and the statute of limitations has not expired on one of the allegations.
If both of those officials step down, the governorship would pass to Attorney General Mark Herring — except that he also has admitted to putting on blackface when he dressed up as a rapper for a college party.
Incredibly, the next person in line is a Republican — in a state where Democrats just trounced the GOP in November in almost every major contest.
In Virginia, and the rest of the country, stunned voters are trying to sort through all this.
Is a dumb photo in a college yearbook OK, but not one from medical school, when students are a few years older? How do we come to grips with the use of blackface years ago by not just clueless conservatives but liberals such as Joy Behar, Ted Danson and Jimmy Kimmel?
We're all trying to figure out what should be forgiven and what's a deal-breaker, but there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Each case is unique, and so are the political pressures that surround them.
Maybe the solution is to trust democracy. In the end, voters reward the behavior they like and punish the stuff they don't like. It's not a perfect answer, but it's the best one available.
And it's slowly working. Mocking another culture is no longer socially acceptable — not that it ever should have been. The mysteries of dating are being clarified by one important point: No means no. If you think a joke or costume might be offensive, it likely is.
Best of all, this could be soaking in for a few teens or 20-somethings. They might not post that photo or send that tweet that is going to boomerang on them far down the road.
But let's face it. Most of us don't have that judgment when we're young. These scandals will keep popping up on and off, in both parties, from the people you might least expect. Just be ready for the next one, and decide for yourself if it's too much, or too old. Good luck; you'll need it.

Description of Work
I love to photograph the world around me and that is why I chose to share some photos of my travel experiences. The first and second photo I look are when I was abroad, while the last photo is a picture of the rowing team at Harvard because it combines two of my passions. The first photo was when I was in Oslo, Norway. For this photo, I used the long exposure so I could photograph the lights' movement. I was amazed that I could actually see the lights dancing without my camera, even though it was very faint. The second photo was when I was in Tanzania on a safari expedition. I was in an open jeep and the ranger was tracking the lion for quite some time. The ranger was looking for tracks left on the road, observing the behavior of other animals, and calling other rangers in order to find the lion. We finally found the lion relaxing in an open field where this photo was taken. The last photo I wanted to highlight is of the Women's Lightweight Rowing team during an early morning practice. I row not only because of the camaraderie of the team, but also because the sport taught me values that I apply to my everyday life. I wanted to showcase a sport that is such a large part of my identity.
About the artist:
I am a freshman in Canaday, but next year I will be living in Pfoho. I am on the
Multimedia Board for The Harvard Crimson as a Sports Junior Executive, work as a
volunteer at Small Claims Advisory Service through PBHA, and am a member of
Harvard-Radcliffe Women's Lightweight rowing team. I initially became interested in
photography because I loved how I could easily pick up a camera and capture moments
in life. I took photography classes in school as well as over the summer and learned
skills that helped me become a better photographer. I particularly like to capture my
travels and landscapes and recently have been photographing sports for The Crimson.

This is a little painting I did of a woman I photographed in Ajijic, Mexico. I tweeked my painting (from the original photo image) to create a more design/abstract painting. I painted it with watercolor and gouache on bristol board, which is a flat smooth paper surface.

Fix Monitor Can't Full Screen on ATI/AMD Radeon Graphics Cards – This is actually not a new problem, but since I have only recently met with this problem, there is nothing wrong with being reappointed, who knows if it can help friends who have similar problems.
Here's how it happened, bro, at one time I tried connecting a Windows 8.1-based PC (AMD Radeon graphics card) with an LED monitor (1920 x 1080 full HD resolution) using an HDMI cable.
It turns out that the image that appears on the monitor is not full (aka full screen) part of the screen that is not filled with images (there are black frames around the screen), even though the resolution has been set to 1920 x 1080. The illustrations are like this.
I thought something was wrong with the monitor. I tried to change the monitor settings here and there, check the cable connection, turn off the monitor and PC, the results are the same. Maybe the HDMI cable? It could be because previously the monitor could be full screen when using a VGA / d-sub cable.
Ok, I tried to replace the HDMI cable, the result is still the same, not full of images.
I tried to open the internet to find a solution. Apparently, this is not a problem with the monitor, but the PC is the problem, especially in the graphics card driver settings.
According to the article I read, this problem occurs in almost all brands of monitors (such as Samsung, Asus, Acer or LG) which are connected to PCs with ATI / AMD Radeon graphics cards, via HDMI and DVI cables (VGA not included).
To solve the problem that the monitor cannot be fully screened on a PC with an AMD Radeon graphics card, please follow these easy steps.
Right-click on Desktop, select AMD Catalyst Control Center. If it's not there yet, please download the AMD Catalyst Control Center driver through the official AMD website.
In the left column, open the My Digital Flat-Panels tab, then select Scaling Options (Digital Flat-Panels).
Pay attention to the position of the slider in the Scaling Options box. That's the problem, by default, AMD Catalyst drivers scale the image output on a monitor with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 to around 5% Underscan (some are 10% or more, depending on the monitor).
To get a full-screen display, swipe the slider until it clicks right onto the 0% Overscan scale, then click Apply.
Done, now your monitor can display images in full-screen alias like this.
In conclusion, this is not a problem with CB monitors, so you don't need to rush warranty claims or buy a new monitor. Ok, hope it's useful 🙂

Kushner on Middle East peace deals: 'The people in the region are tired of war'
President Donald Trump's senior adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, hailed the US brokered peace treaties between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain on Tuesday as the beginning of "a new Middle East" and signaled that the Trump administration is making progress in getting more countries in the region, including Saudi Arabia, to recognize Israel.
His comments came hours after a White House ceremony, dubbed the Abraham Accords, marked the first Middle East White House peace signing in more than two decades.
"I think we had a very good breakthrough. What's happened is in the Middle East, the deals have been so well received. That's what helped Bahrain go quickly. They saw how well the deal was received in the United Arab Emirates and throughout the Muslim world. The people in the region are tired of war," Kushner told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on "The Situation Room."
"They're tired of conflict. They want to move forward, and they see bridging this gap and getting a better understanding between countries as a way to move forward."
Asked specially about the prospect of Saudi Arabia recognizing Israel, Kushner pointed to Trump's relationship with the country's leadership and touted "a lot of changes" in the last three years.
"Quite frankly, also, when we put out our vision for peace you saw the Palestinian leadership reject it before it even came out — before they knew what was in it," he said.
"So people are getting a little tired with the tactics played by the Palestinian leaders. They want to help the Palestinian people, but they're not going to allow them to hold back the national interest of all these different countries."
Trump has praised Kushner for his role in securing the deal to bring the UAE and Israel together to achieve normalization, which entails the establishment of political and economic ties for the first time in both countries' histories.
The deal had been announced by the President last month when he told reporters in the Oval Office that he had a "very special call" with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and UAE Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed, and that they had agreed to a peace agreement.
"We're here this afternoon to change the course of history. After decades of division and conflict we mark the dawn of a new Middle East," Trump said earlier Tuesday. "Thanks to great courage of the leaders of these three countries, we take a major stride toward a future in which people of all faiths and backgrounds live together in peace and prosperity."
Still, Tuesday's signing ceremony comes against the backdrop of a still raging coronavirus pandemic as the US approaches 200,000 deaths from the outbreak. Many attendees at the White House event didn't wear masks or practice social distancing.
Kushner said administration staffers at the ceremony were tested beforehand and maintained that people know their "risk profile" at this point in the pandemic.
"At the end of the day in America we still have to figure out how to live our lives," he said.
"We're not going to all lock ourselves in our home because of the pandemic. I think we know a lot more today. We know who is at risk, we know how to mitigate the risk and we're all going to act accordingly."
