Introduction: MP3 Headphone Hack - Improved Fit & Sound
Why do this hack? With this hack, we gain several benefits:
- Headphones are large enough to fit a larger head.
- Part of housing is flexible and will hold a custom shape.
- Increase comfort / wearability.
- Adjustable for different size skulls.
Improved sound via better earbuds than the originals.
(OK some of those are duplicates - but work with me...)
The model I hacked is one of those super cheap ones from China. Mine was about $8.
The unit is actually an MP3 Player and headset all-in-one. I had to wait a little bit for the shipment to arrive. Note: If the selling site has "free worldwide shipping" plastered all over - then it is probably coming from China. I think you can find these domestically for a little bit more money.
Step 1: Stuff You Will Need.
- Headset Unit ($8)
- A sacrificial pair of comfortable in-ear plug headphones. ($5)
- A microSD flash memory card (sometimes called tf or transflash). ($5)
- Plastic Coated Single Strand Wire ($2)
- Soldering Iron (and solder) (if you're on instructables, I'll assume you have access to these)
- Electrical Tape (I'll assume you have access to this)
- Shrink Tube - optional (I had some already)
- Patience and burning desire to conquer this bad boy.
The units usually do not come with any memory - so you'll need it. It requires a microSD card (aka TF or transflash).
The microSD card can be purchased many many places. I used a 2gb card - they can be found for less than $5 shipped.
2 gb might even be a bit large. Look around your stuff , you may have an extra in an old phone.
For wire, you will want a single strand plastic coated - I recommend black. Black better matched the rest of the materials. It's important to get SINGLE STRAND wire not multi-strand wire. Single strand gives us an important flexibility when positioning. You might be able to get some from a relatively small piece of leftover Romex® house wiring cable. Many times, pieces of this stuff will be left around when an electrician is working on a house. Typically you see 3 or 4 wires inside the jacket. Otherwise, you can run to the hardware store and get some which is sold by the foot. That can be nice because you can get a feel for how stiff a given guage is. I would suggest a 12, or 14 guage. I used 12 guage. I'm no electrician - but I do know the smaller number means thicker wire.
Step 2: Partial Disassembly of Behind the Head Unit
You will need to get open access to the straight-away(ish) portion of the headset. I'll refer to this as the "headband". Notice the rubber gasket like enclosure which seals in the headphone wires. Pull this out with your fingers or a rather small tool. Mine came out by working with my fingers alone. Can be little tricky at the ends - I'd recommend using a magnifiing glass to help you see what's going on as you work.
Next would be removing the earbudus from the stiff curved headband. Again, I was able to get this apart by simply working with fingers and some fingernail action too. Be patient and you will probably have success. I don't recommend using any sort of needle nose pliers. You might try something like a super small screwdriver (think eyeglasses size).
At this point, you should have a good view of the wires running down the headband and the "earbuds" which are still attached via solder to the wires. You should see 2 wires running out of the area of the left and right sides of the headband. You'll then need to snip off the earbuds so that only the wires remain.
Now that the buds are off, you need to trim the headband. Cut the headband in the area where it thins out. Some of the headband will be left behind to provide support for the new wire. If in doubt, leave more behind. You can always tirm more if needed. I used some sturdy kitchen scissors to cut my headband.. You could probably use some wire snips/cutters. Would not recommend a saw - but I guess that could work. Continue to be gentle as you work these steps. This unit is a cheap piece of electronics coming from Hong Kong. So it's not exactly rugged!
Now comes time for some creativity. We will be placing the thick coated wire in the position where the headband was previously. Actually we will be making it a bit longer to accomodate various skull sizes. You will need to experiment with how long to make the wire. I made mine about 8 inches long. (see next step) Later, I trimmed it down to 7 inches.
Step 3: Bending the New Wire Earpieces
You'll need two pieces of stiff coated single strand wire which are approximately 8 inches long.
You'll need to bend the wire to fall into position and mimic the shape of the old headband. However the end will be left open with the earbud hanging loose on its wire. This will add much flexibility to sizing/fit of your unit. The end of the wire where then earbuds hang will have a loop to help "keep" the earbuds. See photo.
I used some needle nose pliers to curve the small loop used as a "keeper". My wife had some special needle nose pliers used for jewelry making. They don't have "teeth" and the nose pieces are conical in profile. So you can bend wire around without damaging or marring the wire you are working. Really nice to have. To make the curve for the ear area, you can free hand it or use a technique of wrapping around a dowel etc...You'll need to bend the wire to fall into position and mimic the shape of the old headband. However the end will be left open with the earbud hanging loose on its wire. This will add much flexibility to sizing/fit of your unit. Then end of the wire where then earbuds hang will have a loop to help "keep" the earbuds. See photo.
Step 4: Heatshrink the New Earbud to the New Flexible Wire Earpiece
The next step will be to attach the new earbuds (earphones) to the new flexible wire earpieces. In this photo, I am showing the placement of the heatshrink on the wire with a unbent wire. (I have not yet curved the wire).
After further tweaking I cut my wire down to 7" from the previously illustrated 8".
Hey - it IS easier to make it smaller than wish I could grow it longer!
Clue Again: This photo may look out of order because The stiff wire shown is not yet curved.
(even though you do see it curved in some earlier pictures)
Put the approximately 3" long shrink tubed in the position noted in illustration. As I don't have a heat gun, I used one of those torch-like stick candle lighters that you can find almost anywhere. Apply the heat and and then the earplug wire will be attached to the stiff wire.
Step 5: Strip Ends of Earbud Wires.
The picture with the magnifier shows the tiny wires coming from the new earbuds. They are Really Tiny. Again, not being an electrician, I had to figure this thing out. This may be obvious to many of you, but if not:
Here are some really good clues about the wiring on earbuds:
After stripping the jacket, you'll probably see two colors of wires. Mine looked a) Gold and b) Silver. It appears that they are both uninsulated wires. That does not make sense. The wires actually ARE insulated. They are just enameled or lacquered. to connect up to these wires, you can scrape, sandpaper or burn off the insulation. Good way to think of it is to pretend that the enamel on the wire is like a plastic insulation. With this in mind, you'll only want to "strip back" part of the end of the wire. You will want the rest of the wire to remain insulated. I used sandpaper to strip the ends of my wires.
Also - you will need to strip the ends of the wires leading into the main unit. (so they can finally be soldered together).
Step 6: Positioning Outer Heat Shrink Prior to Soldering Audio Wires
Also, you'll want to position heatshrink on the wires PRIOR TO soldering. This is obvious stuff to most of us, but think of it as a public service announcement.
As review, we have already used smaller diameter heatshrink to affix the headphone wire to the stiff earpiece (done in step 4).
Now we will be positioning a wider diameter heatshrink tube for use shortly.
The heatshrink will need to be coordinated such that it goes over:
- The Stiff Wire
- The thin earbud wire
- Part of the leave behind stiff headband
- The black electrical tape
Step 7: Solder the Audio Connection
- solder the wires together
- neatly position the wires against the headband assembly
- move the larger heatshrink into place over the wires, old headband and new stiff wire earpiece
- shrink the heat-shrink tubing
Notice the position of the large diameter heat shrink tube in the picture. You need to have this in a ready position before soldering.
Step 8: Final Heat Shrink Tube to Hold It All Together
Before finally putting on the outer layer of heat shrink tube, I tested the audio connection a few times to make sure it was good. After that, slide the large diameter (final) heat shrink tube into final position.
See picture with drawings which illustrates where everything should go.
I found that putting two pieces of electrical tape to hold all the layers together prior to heat shrink was a very good idea.
It really increased stability of joint. I know this because I did one with the tape and one without.
Then finally slide the large diameter shrink tube into place and shrink it up.
Step 9: Finished View
Here's the result. I'm sure with a little more care, the shrink tube would look a bit neater.
Step 10: Robert Palmer Girls Unavailable at Presstime
We had planned to have the Robert Palmer Girls model the device. Unfortunately, they were on paid time off today, so you get a picture of an overweight middle-aged guy showing the product.
Step 11: Finished Headset!
Here's picture of finished unit.
The flexibility and fit are an Amazing improvement. A
lso the sound quality is much better - a function of putting better earplugs on the unit. O
K it's not beautiful - but it works like a dream.
And the good part is: If it looks a little ugly, you don't see it (but everyone else does).
If you are careful when you do the hack, it will actually look very good!

We've been working hard behind the scenes to update FuryBSD and are proud to say a new version of FuryBSD 12.0 has been released! We've pulled in some essential packages for XFCE to create a better out of box experience and have included a slew of new fixes to streamline installs and provide better performance. We've also added experimental support for KDE and Gnome. For more information check out the release notes below or click here to download the latest .iso image from GitHub.
Fixes and Improvements From Last Image:
- Fixed bug in the previous image that prevented restore from saving live session changes
- Added ports for wallpapers, xfce-settings
- Enabled FuryBSD wallpaper for live sessions and every new user
- Added missing Nvidia xorg.conf sample mentioned in Getting Started.txt
Note different editions KDE, Gnome will each have alternate artwork.
Fixes and Improvements From original 12.0 images:
- Switched to UnionFS for full read write support so packages can now be installed during live session.
- Disabled clear_tmp service to prevent 20MB /tmp, and /var filesystem which is too small.
- Tuned ZFS arc max to 40MB during live session only to prevent install from running system out of memory.
- Dump & Restore now enables changes made in LiveCD to persist after install.
- Switched to LightDM GTK greeter for XFCE image to save a small fraction of space.
- Added dialog to warn users to add themselves to wheel group during install.
- Added experimental support for Gnome + KDE to the build system but more work needed before images can be published.
- Added essential packages such as xauth, xinit to common area for all images.
- Added dsbdriverd from NomadBSD project to common area for all images. This will load modules for detected hardware as defined in it's database such as wifi.
- Added essential packages to XFCE for printscreen, lock screen, screensaver.
- Updated and improved desktop readme now called "Getting Started.txt" with more examples.
- Added desktop shortcut to bsdconfig.
Known issues:
- Possibly setting hostname in bsdconfig hangs the ISO (don't do this for now, do it in the installer)
- A community member reported the fact that drm-next packages are not working with 12.1-RELEASE quarterly packages yet until the FreeBSD project addresses this. For now, 12.0 images will continue to be the default until sometime early 2020.

How to Troubleshoot a Morgan Spa
Morgan Spas claims it has the largest number and variety of spa jets for its hot tubs. Additionally, the company allows you to customize your spa to your needs, whether your hot tub use is primarily for hydrotherapy or enjoyment.
As with any other spa, Morgan Spas may require troubleshooting to correct any issues that prevent you from maximizing the spa's benefits. A few basic steps will help you quickly diagnose your spa and take corrective actions that will return the unit to its normal working condition.
Check to make sure the spa is receiving power. Make sure the breaker is on and the GFCI outlet does not need to be reset.
Add water if the level is below the filter. Low water will prevent the spa from filtering, heating and pumping water through the jets.
Clean the filter. An extremely dirty filter will restrict water flow in the tub and prevent the water cleaning process.
Unclog the discharge and suction lines. Clogs can prevent water from flowing through your spa, thus reducing the effectiveness of its internal parts.
Open the valves to ensure the maximum amount of water is coming out of the jets. You may also need to bleed air from the pump. Open the bleeder valve near the filter until water comes out.
Review the control panel. Low water heat may require you to increase the spa's temperature, change the mode from "Economy" to "Standard" or change other settings.
You may need to contact Morgan Spas if you cannot correct the issues with your spa even after following these basic diagnostic steps. A flashing triangle on the spa's control panels can indicate the water temperature is too hot. The spa may go through a few internal steps to correct the problem, although you may need help from Morgan Spas.

Vancouver is world famous for its winter activities like skiing and other snow sports. The city also has amazing Christmas holiday attractions.
Outdoor winter sport activities include downhill and cross-country skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, skating, tubing and more. The 2010 Winter Olympics weren't in this city for nothing!
Vancouver Winter Things to Do
Outdoor winter sport activities usually start around early December and go until April. The snow is typically best from late December until early February, but the spring skiing weather can be fantastic (but warm and on the slushy side).
Good indoor winter activities include ice skating at various rec centres around the region, staying indoors somewhere if it's raining, and checking out a hockey game in the evenings.
Lower Mainland Ski Hills
Vancouver is famous for its world-class ski hills which include Grouse Mountain, Cypress, Mount Seymour, Sasquatch Mountain and (further afield) Whistler-Blackcomb. The first three are smaller, but located on the North Shore just minutes from downtown Vancouver. Whistler-Blackcomb is close to a two-hour drive away, but it's also one of the best ski resorts in the world, so definitely worth the trip.
Click Lower Mainland's Ski Hills for general information on the area's various mountains (including a comparison of the different locations).
To learn about snowshoeing opportunities, see the above articles about individual ski hills, or check out the following two articles:
Christmas Activities in Vancouver
There is always a lot to do in Vancouver around Christmas time. Here are some of the highlights:
- Christmas Lights at VanDusen Garden.
- Enjoy mulled wine while shopping at the Vancouver Christmas Market (from late November until late December).
- Holiday decorations and family-friendly activities at Glow Christmas in Langley.
- Cameo appearances by Santa Claus at the multi-dimensional theatre experience at FlyOver Canada at Christmas.
- Holiday Heights at Bloedel runs for a couple of weeks in December and features beautiful indoor Christmas lights at the Bloedel Conservatory at the top of Queen Elizabeth Park.
- Visit Burnaby Village Museum and enjoy their Heritage Christmas decorations (all of December).
- Bright Nights at Stanley Park showcases an amazing display of Christmas lights put on annually as a fundraiser for the Burn Fund by the Vancouver Firefighters. Admission is by donation and it's absolutely worth a visit.
- Christmas Lights at the Capilano Suspension Bridge.
- Sleigh rides, gingerbread houses, skiing and skating at Grouse Mountain's Peak of Christmas.
For more great things to do during the Christmas season, check out December's Calendar of Events or Vancouver's Best Christmas Activities.
Vancouver in Sun and Snow
It doesn't snow very often at lower elevations in Vancouver, and in winter there isn't always a lot of sun. When there's sun in the sky and snow on the ground, however, the region becomes especially magical, as evident in the video below.

Aka is a minor character of Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin in the Introduction Arc.
He was one of the hunting dogs owned by Gohē Takeda, and is the son of Riki from earlier litter, making him the brother of Gin.
He wasn't as strong and skilled as Riki but the narrator mentions that he was just as fearless as him.
Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin
In the beginning of the story, Aka follows his owner to the mountains with Don and his father Riki on an expedition. However, the hunting party gets ambushed by the terrifying bear Akakabuto and Aka was killed during a fight.
- In Ginga Seiken Densetsu Meteor Gin it has been confirmed that Fuji is not Aka's mother.
- Being the offspring of Riki it makes him a purebred Akita, as Riki only bred with bitches of the same breed.

Hang Him by the Nuts
The Constitutional standard for impeachment is "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors". Further examples are not provided, but the named crimes suggest the gravity intended — presidents shouldn't be impeached over a parking ticket.
The standard is suggestive in another way, in that it isn't a standard at all. Despite the intended similarity, impeachment is not an indictment, and trial in the Senate is not trial in court. Impeachment is a political act dressed in legalism. It originates in the House and is decided in the Senate. They can define it however they want.
All they need are the votes.
It is for this reason that Clever People have proclaimed the futility of the exercise: Whatever case is made, you still need 67 votes to throw out the rascal, and good luck finding twenty Republicans to jump ship.
We have been one of those Clever People, but with a clever caveat: In the face of that futility, impeachment needs a reason to exist on its own terms.
Impeachment isn't the only game in the House. The majority party has the power to issue subpoenas and run investigations. Much light can be shined on an Administration if they care to exercise that authority. Impeachment isn't needed to drive that process; the incoming committee chairs are already filling their calendars. Much fun will be had.
Nor can you just "impeach": An impeachment is a case to be made, not a finger to be pointed. And, until now, there hasn't been much of a case available: What we know is what newspapers and legal filings tell us, and those are inadequate sources of documentation and substantiation. Congressional hearings have been a sham to date, because Republicans are willing beneficiaries of the power bestowed by a treasonous president: They get their judges nominated, they get their bills signed. They collude in the conspiracy.
We have counseled patience in this respect: There is an honest investigation in town, and we no longer fear that its final report will be buried by an uninterested House. By policy — if not law — the President will not be indicted, but the facts that would support an indictment will be clear, detailed, and comprehensive.
The case will be made.
That is when you begin impeachment proceedings. Not because they have any chance of success across the Capitol, but because the case must be presented for its own sake, in public. The crimes against our elections and our sovereignty must be made clear, such that those who deny them can be seen for the collaborators they are.
And hey, if you wanna be crass about it, impeachment hearings on solid grounds will be the best show in town. Maybe even the Times will take a stand.
We speak in serious tones, as befits a grave subject, and while we agree with the Founders that the only appropriate remedy upon conviction is removal from office, we find that our passion overwhelms our cold rationality, and so we find ourself hoping that, in some just universe, the eviction ceremony would include unpleasant violations upon the person of the tyrant. We deserve no less.

I'm sorry to hear that about your sidemarkers!the reverse LEDs i got from Diode Dynamics work great but the rear red side marker LEDS from DD started flickering after a month so i took them out. They didn't cost enough to bother returning. i'd really like the daytime LED option for the front headlight / parking light assembly that's not too expensive. Any recommendations and/or pics from the forum would be really appreciated thanks.

On the 5th meeting I was teaching Yoon Soo Finnish language. We met at Pella's cafe and first drank some hot chocolate, because the weather was so cold and rainy T.T
I taught her verbs asua – to live, matkustaa – to travel, mennä – to go and olla – to be. We conjugated them in persons ( minä, sinä, hän, me, te, he). Also we made some simple sentences with these verbs. Some nouns required special case conjugation: Innessiivi – ssa/ssä and Illatiivi – vowel+n/lle/hin. For example:
Minä asun Etelä-Koreassa. – I live in South Korea. (requires Innessiivi ending – "inside the country").
Minä matkustan Espanjaan. – I travel to Europe. (requires Illatiivi ending – "the direction to some place").
I tought Yoon Soo some nouns as well:
ystävä/kaveri – friend, asunto – house, paikka – place, opiskelija – student, äiti – mother, koulu – school, ravintola – restaurant, klubi – club, työ – work, kuntosali – gym, poika – boy.
and also seasons:
kesä (summer) – kesällä (in summer)
syksy (autumn) – syksyllä (in autumn)
talvi (winter) – talvella (in winter)
kevät (spring) – keväällä (in spring).
We made some sentences with them:
Nyt on kevät. – Now it is spring.
Talvella tulin Tamperelle. – I came to Tampere in winter.
Kesällä matkustan Europaan. – In summer I am travelling to Europe.
Kesällä tulen takaisin Etelä-Koreaan. – In summer I am coming back to South Korea.
Yoon Soo asked me to teach her how to ask the bus driver to stop if the stop button is not working, what happened with her earlier. So in Finnish it is "Pysähdy täällä, ole hyvä!".
I really liked teaching Yoon Soo Finnish. She was a bit tired at the end, but I hope it was not too much and hard. Next time it will be a Korean language class.

Democratic legislators are seeking to make Medicare available to more people, potentially lowering the cost of health insurance. Although Bernie Sanders' "Medicare for All" proposal has gotten the most attention, there is another plan that would extend Medicare benefits to the people who pay the most for individual health insurance—those nearing retirement age.
The legislation, introduced by Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), would allow people aged 50-64 to buy into a private Medicare plan. Currently, you must be age 65 or older or disabled to qualify for Medicare.
While some people over 50 have good employer or union health insurance, others do not. That means they must buy insurance on the individual marketplace, where plans get more expensive the closer you are to age 65. Self-employed people, early retirees, and people who are unemployed or can�t get insurance through their jobs often end up in plans with high premiums and high deductibles, if they can afford insurance at all.
Unlike "Medicare for All," which would completely overhaul our health insurance system, Medicare at 50 focuses on giving people in their 50s and 60s additional options that will make healthcare more affordable. The bill allows people to keep their employer coverage, buy a plan on the Affordable Care Act exchange, or buy a Medicare plan.
The Medicare plans available to people aged 50-64 would be private insurance plans, so they would cost more than traditional Medicare coverage for people 65 and up. But because Medicare's reimbursement rates to doctors are lower than the rates paid by private insurance companies, the Medicare option is expected to be cheaper than the individual insurance plans now available to people 50 and up.
In addition, people who qualify for subsidies under the Affordable Care Act would be able to keep those subsidies and apply them to the cost of a Medicare plan.
MMedicare at 50 has the potential to make health insurance more affordable for people aged 50-64. That could increase the number of people who have insurance and make it easier for older adults to take care of their health. Another potential advantage of Medicare at 50 is that it is not such a radical change to our healthcare system as Medicare for All. This could make it less controversial and easier to implement. But that doesn't mean the proposal is without opposition.
Health insurers and pharmaceutical companies have come out against any plan to expand Medicare. Hospital groups say that because of Medicare's low reimbursement rates, they may have trouble staying in business if more people are on Medicare. Industry experts worry that any Medicare expansion could reduce the number of people buying insurance on the ACA's health insurance exchanges, leading insurance companies to pull out of the exchanges altogether. And there are concerns that if older people leave the exchanges, younger ones will pay higher premiums for coverage.
Medicare at 50 is a long way from becoming law—there are several similar proposals, and all of them must work their way through the legislative process. If you currently buy your insurance on the individual marketplace, or you're considering retiring before age 65, you'll want to keep an eye on Medicare expansion—it could save you money someday.

SheKnows The Buzz is giving our readers the Straight Up details on the week's big celebrity news including Paula Abdul heading to Broadway.
First, The Buzz looks at The Hills diva Kristen Cavallari and her reported ability to stay sober. The new season is dawning and with Heidi Montag in the news for her plastic surgery addiction, we knew Cavallari as the Lauren Conrad substitute, had to come up with something to keep in the news!
Also on this week's The Buzz is our favorite former American Idol judge and her dreams of The Great White Way. To quote our terrific host, "Will she ever step out of the limelight? Seriously, she's been around since parachute pants and now she's starring in the heights on Broadway? Broadway? Broad — your way went out in the 1980s."
And there is there is Jesse James. Where does anyone start with this poor example of a human being? James is The Buzz's "Dirtbag of the Week," plus word he unlike Snikers, James does not satisfy.
Yet the prize for "Dirtbag of the Year" still belongs to Tiger Woods whose antics on and off the golf course have warranted critique. Before, currently and certainly well into the future, the world will still be judging Tiger Woods for his actions.

On New Year's Day, the Spanish city of Ceuta, one of Europe's only land borders connecting it with Africa, saw approximately 1,000 people attempt a daring mass migration from Morocco. Despite a "well-organized and violent attempt," as described by local authorities, none made it through safely. Two migrants were seriously injured in their attempt and were taken to hospital in Ceuta for treatment. More than 50 law enforcement officers were injured during the attempt, ten of which were left in a serious condition.
The migrants attempted to breach the well-protected border between Spain and Morocco "using iron bars, wire cutters, and large stones" the Ceuta Government said. In the last month, we have seen other desperate migration attempts from Morocco to Spain's North African enclaves. In early December, 400 migrants crossed the Ceuta border fence safely, in the largest single breach of the Moroccan/Spanish border in the last decade. The Ceuta border is protected by two parallel 6-metre-high barbed wire fences, watch posts, spotlights, noise and movement sensors, and cameras. Guard ships, patrol boats, and hundreds of law enforcement officers await anyone attempting to cross Spain's southern coastal borders. As such, illegal immigration from Morocco to Spain is extremely difficult and dangerous, as many hopeful migrants have found. 2016 saw nearly 5,000 confirmed deaths in the Mediterranean, where many people from North Africa made attempts to relocate to Europe. This makes the past year the deadliest for migrants in the area, as they seek asylum and safety from an ever-dangerous North Africa.
The Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla are Africa's only land borders with Europe, making it a popular point for people throughout Northern Africa seeking asylum in Europe. These borders are crossed legally by thousands of migrants every day, but it is suspected that some are also smuggled through illegally each day. The latest attempt has drawn worldwide attention to the illegal immigration issue, which prompted the Moroccan government to state "From now on, those making such attempts will be presented before the competent judicial authorities who will decree their expulsion from the kingdom [of Morocco] or heavier penalties, according the gravity of the act." In spite of the desperate need, for many people in Northern Africa, to escape their current living conditions, it may become more difficult for them to do so as authorities look to crack down on the issue.
Morocco is governed by a monarchy and, like many, African countries, experiences widespread corruption, a poor record in the protection of human rights, and widespread poverty (nearly half of Moroccans say there is "extreme poverty" where they live). These issues have given rise to peaceful protests by the Moroccan people which, reports say, have recently been met with increasing violence by security forces that the government has since denied. It seems that the continuation of corruption, the poor care for human rights, and the high rates of poverty have North Africans seeking a better life in Europe, despite the risks the journey holds.

If it weren't for bad injury luck, Marshawn Williams wouldn't have any at all.
A serious knee injury derailed the running back's true freshman season at Virginia Tech in 2014… and in 2015… and then again in 2016. All told, Williams underwent three different surgeries in less than three years in Blacksburg.
Not surprisingly, the school announced Tuesday, Williams will be forced to bring his collegiate playing career to a premature end because of the injuries. Williams will remain at Tech on scholarship and in school, although the scholarship won't count against VT's limit of 85.
"I'd like to thank Coach (Frank) Beamer, Coach (Justin) Fuente and their staffs for giving me the chance to live out my dream of playing college football at Virginia Tech," Williams said in a statement. "I'm also very appreciative of all my teammates for the chance to compete with them, as well as our trainers, medical and strength staff for helping me through the many ups and downs of this journey.
"While I'm disappointed that I can no longer sweat with my teammates on the football field, I'll be a Hokie for the rest of my life."
Despite the injury issues, Williams managed to rush for 719 yards and six touchdowns in 18 career games. 475 of those yards and four of the touchdowns came in the first nine games (eight starts) of his career with the Hokies. That start came to an end thanks to a torn ACL in his 10th collegiate game in 2014.

Phoebe's best friends wrote her this note to congratulate her for making the Battle of the Books team; they're very mature third-graders!
The Battle of the Books competition was held at Monarch High School. It was high-pressure for the kids, but maybe even more for the parents! The kids had to confer silently because all the competing teams were in the same room, so we could see the questions, but not what the kids were answering.
Phoebe's 3rd-grade team from Lafayette Elementary ended up in a tiebreaker round with Ryan Elementary, another Lafayette school, so talk about drama! This time the teams had a spokesperson, who was the only one who could speak to give an answer. Lafayette won the tiebreaker and came in 2nd place overall for third graders!
May 6
Our amazing babysitter Alejandro invited us to his wedding, which happened to be at an event center just a couple of miles away in Lafayette. Dave was on a work trip to Canton, Ohio, so the kids and I went by ourselves. It was a lovely wedding, and we had a wonderful time! The woman he married, Sarah, has a big family, so she has a sister Phoebe's age, and the two of them enjoyed each others' company. The Mexican food was delicious, I had fun meeting some of Alejandro's relatives, and Benjamin and I did some dancing.
May 8
I went to Benjamin's school for an on-premises morning field trip with the kindergartners. Thorne Nature Experience came to talk about birds and habitats, and we walked around the grounds looking for birds and clues that birds might live nearby.

Benjamin's kindergarten circus was held in the morning at Sanchez. It was even more adorable than last year! He was an elephant.
It was a busy day; Xtreme Altitude also held an evening gymnastics show that Phoebe participated in.
May 18
Benjamin had karate testing; each kid has to go up alone and show the form he or she has learned. It could be scary, but Benjamin always takes on the challenge with aplomb.

First camping trip of the season over Memorial Day weekend. We went out to Fruita, in the desert, so we could be sure it would be warm enough. We brought our bikes, and Dave and I were looking forward to mountain biking on Fruita's awesome trails. BK (before kids) we used to go several times a year. This time, the biking was a highlight for me, but I think the kids were more excited about the icee shack in town.
May 26
Phoebe and I rode Rustler's Loop, which is an easy mountain bike loop with interpretive signs that teach you how to deal with things like sand or rocks while you're biking. She made all kinds of good decisions—good lines, good power when she needed it pedaling—but she moaned loudly the whole time, and it took us about 2 hours to go 4 miles!

Ice Cream owner mistaken for KKK protester
>The owners of Ice Cream Family Corner and Sandwiches at the busy intersection of South Pine Avenue and Southwest 17th Street say their two-month-old business is getting creamed because passers-by have mistaken their white-hooded ice cream cone mascot for a KKK protester.
Can you imagine what the poor guy went through trying to promote his ice cream store?! LOL.
> Once and for all, people, it's an ice cream cone.

(Want to get this briefing by email? Here's the sign-up.)
Good evening. Here's the latest.
1. President Trump accused the former F.B.I. director, James Comey, of lying under oath in his testimony before the Senate. "Yesterday showed no collusion, no obstruction," the president said during a news conference with President Klaus Iohannis of Romania, above.
"He's a leaker," Mr. Trump added, and denied that he had asked Comey to drop the F.B.I. investigation into his former national security adviser. The president declined to say whether there are tapes of their conversations.
We collected reactions to the Senate hearing from the right and the left. And on our podcast "The Daily," we get the inside story on that leaked memo.
2. Prime Minister Theresa May of Britain, above, resisted calls to resign after a surprising election defeat.
Her Conservative Party will now try to form a minority government with the help of a party from Northern Ireland. There's speculation that "Brexit" negotiations, scheduled to start on June 19, will be delayed. The British pound dropped sharply.
The lesson of the election seemed to be that young voters angry about Britain's exit from the European Union had spoken. The young turned out in high numbers, to the benefit of Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party.
3. The feud among Persian Gulf monarchs intensified, with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates listing 59 people and a dozen organizations linked to Qatar as aiding terrorism.
During his news conference today, President Trump assailed Qatar as a "funder of terrorism at a very high level." Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, above, struck a different note, calling for "thoughtful and calm dialogue" to resolve the dispute.
4. With the future of the Affordable Care Act in doubt — and the Trump administration planning to roll back the contraception coverage mandate — the battle over birth control is shifting to the states.
Several states are expanding access by requiring insurers to cover a year's supply of contraceptives at a time, and others are considering "contraceptive equity" bills.
"The message we want to send is that women are here to fight back, and states are leading the resistance," said one reproductive rights advocate.
5. The special election for a Georgia House seat is shattering fund-raising records. The Democrat, Jon Ossoff, above, raised over $15 million in the last two months.
He's running against Karen Handel, the Republican candidate for the Sixth Congressional District, to fill the seat vacated by Tom Price when he became secretary of health and human services.
Ms. Handel raised about $4 million in the same period, but entered the homestretch with more cash than Mr. Ossoff. Much of the money is coming from outside Georgia. The election is June 20.
6. Our reporter spent eight days taking 12 flights around the U.S. to answer this question: "How did air travel, which once seemed so glamorous and exciting, turn into a sadomasochistic pas de deux between the industry and the passenger?"
Above, a photo of her flight routes.
7. The Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers meet tonight for the fourth, and possibly final, game of the N.B.A. playoffs. If the Warriors win, they would be the first team to go through the playoffs undefeated — a huge feat. (9 p.m. Eastern, ABC.)
On Sunday, the U.S. Soccer team plays in a World Cup qualifier in Mexico City, where the altitude will be a challenge. (8:30 p.m., FS1, Univision.) Above, Coach Bruce Arena and players at a team practice.
And bettors will be watching the 149th running of the Belmont Stakes. (6:37 p.m. Eastern, NBC.)
8. "There Will Be Blood." "Inside Out." "Mad Max: Fury Road." Our film critics picked the top 25 movies to come out since 2000. They say these are the "classics of the future."
What's your favorite? What would you add to our list? Leave your comments on the article (for desktop-users only; apologies to mobile users) and we may use your comments in a future story.
Above, Daniel Day-Lewis and little Dillon Freasier in a scene from "There Will Be Blood."
9. Other weekend fare: Season 5 of "Orange Is the New Black" debuted on Netflix today. The 13 new episodes tell the story of a three-day prison riot. Jenji Kohan, the creator of the series, above, said the season's message "reflects humanity. We can be beautiful, and we can be incredibly destructive."
And we have a list of 12 new books we recommend. This week's selections are "full of characters finding their place in the world," our books editor says.
10. Finally, Trevor Noah of "The Daily Show" got a kick out of the news that bars across America opened early (with drink specials) for the Comey hearing. Above, a bar in Washington.
"This moment today is what I love about America," he said. "During a great moment of consequence for your democracy, everyone is like, 'Let's make zany cocktails, yeah! Can I get a Comey-politan and a Piña Collusion, and two Mai Tais to Russia, please. Thank you!'"
Have a great weekend.
Photographs may appear out of order for some readers. Viewing this version of the briefing should help.
Your Evening Briefing is posted at 6 p.m. Eastern.
And don't miss Your Morning Briefing, posted weekdays at 6 a.m. Eastern, and Your Weekend Briefing, posted at 6 a.m. Sundays.

REVIEW: The Zebras - Siesta
The songwriting here is first class, with the sort of breath-catching hooks you expect form the best in this genre. But nevertheless, the tunesmithing here is forced to share the honors with soaring male/female vocals and a driving rhythm section. Most of the tracks are fast-paced and bouncy, perfect for a summer session in the sun or a drive to the beach. But the band gets the emotional weight spot-on for the handful of slower numbers as well. The only reason to not get this album would be if you aren't in a good place to fall in love with a set of songs, because there really is no other reason.
Siesta is out now on CD and vinyl via Jigsaw Records (Australian fans can buy it at Lost and Lonesome Recording Co.).
The Zebras herd is Jeremy Cole, Edwina Ewins, Lachlan Franklin, Katie Geppert and Dave Rose.

Our Story
We are the first and only organic CBD company to come out of Newcastle upon Tyne. We are based high on the cliffs in the beautiful coastal village of Tynemouth, just a short walk from the amazing Tynemouth Priory and Castle.
Karma Coast was founded by partners Dylan and Magdalena in 2018 to improve wellbeing through education.

300,000 Indian Villages Fibered; 325,000 More Soon Come
After years of delay, >100M Indians are ready to be connected with fiber, Wi-Fi, and LTE.
Phase 1 is finished of India's BharatNet, the most ambitious rural connectivity program in history. The expectation is all 250,000 regional councils and 625,000 villages will be reached by GPON fiber. Minister Manoj Sinha is optimistic they will beat the March 2019 completion target.
Most villages will have local Wi-Fi, sometimes from the local Post Office and often through a program of local businesses. Fiber backhaul is being provided inexpensively to the Indian telcos, who are installing LTE. Reliance Jio, already reaching over 80% of Indians, will presumably use BharatNet backhaul as they extend their LTE network to 95% of Indians.

Spooner has expanded the cast for "Almost, Maine" to 16 members who range in age from high school to seasoned actors.
"This play is a very deeply thoughtful piece on life and relationships," Spooner said. "People at various stages of their own lives will see themselves reflected in one or more of these vignettes. Spread the word and enjoy this wonderful cast of players."
The actors come from Livermore and Pleasanton and others from farther afield including Sunol, Martinez, Oakland and Los Gatos.
"Almost, Maine" has eight scenes plus a prologue and epilogue, giving each actor a chance to shine. The variety of vignettes will take the audience through humor, heartbreak, falling in love, and everything in between.
Co-producer Marsha Howard, a Pleasanton resident, has worked on Encore productions before.
"Once the acting bug bites you, it's hard to shake," Howard said. "But as you age, you find fewer opportunities. I'm glad Encore provides opportunities for 'mature' actors."
Encore vice chairwoman Martie Muldoon, a retired Pleasanton music teacher, is co-producing.
"After directing Encore's most recent production, 'The Last Romance,' I'm excited to return to the stage with this unique play," Muldoon said. "I'm especially thrilled to be sharing the stage with two young ladies I taught and directed as youth. I worked with Rebecca Bernstein at Asbury Methodist Church, as youth choir and musical director."
"I ran into Rebecca at a blood drive and invited her to audition as we were both donating blood," she continued, adding:
"Maya Allwardt was a talented student in my music class at Mohr Elementary in Pleasanton. It's fun to work with former students on an equal basis in a play."
Playwright John Cariani explained that the people of "Almost, Maine" are rural Americans who are not "cuddly and cute" but they are "hard-working, ordinary people."
"They just take time to wonder about things," he said. "They are normally very grounded but sometimes they become excited by love — and other extraordinary occurrences."
Performances are May 10-12: 8 p.m. Friday; 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday; and 2 p.m. Sunday, at the West End Theater, Bothwell Arts Center, 2466 Eighth St., Livermore.
Tickets are $25 general, and $20 seniors 62 and older. Purchase at lvpac.org or at the door, if available. Performances will be followed by a reception.

My family and I love these birds. They are very good in the sense that they go to sleep when the the room gets dark, and wake with the light. These birds are very cheerful and happy. We enjoy watching them socialize with one another. They chatter back and forth happily, and enjoy looking out the window. These birds are fun to watch and listen to.

PV2 (Ret.) Matt Leyva, USA
Born in Tucson, Arizona, Matt grew up in Upstate New York. He loves the outdoors-fishing, swimming, and doing other water sports- but his passion is drawing. Following his dad's service in the Air Force, Matt decided to join the military to serve his country. He, also, had a grandfather, great uncles, great grandmother and great grandfather who served in various branches from WWII to Vietnam.
Matt was stationed in Kandahar, Afghanistan and went out on patrol missions as an infantryman. After being home for a few months on R&R, Matt headed back to Afghanistan on July 11, 2012. Days later on the evening of August 9th, they were on a dismount patrol. Walking out the gate is the last thing he remembers. He later learned from the report he had stepped on a pressure-plated IED causing him to lose both legs above the knee, both ring fingers, and both pinkies. There is extensive soft tissue damage to his left arm, which led the doctors to take the bone, as well.
All of his original major surgeries were done in Bastion, Afghanistan before being moved to Bagram, where he went through many more surgeries and blood transfusions. Even after stabilizing and moving to Landstuhl, Germany, he was still very unstable and feared he would not make it. They flew his family to Germany and the following day stabilized well enough to fly to San Antonio where he has been since.
Matt has been married for three years and his wife decided not to start medical school to be his fulltime caregiver. Matt, as many of our wounded at this point in their journey, is worried about their future and how he will support his family. His wife and his family have been by his side encouraging him, making him smile, and giving him a positive outlook through his rehabilitation journey.
They are considering either San Antonio or Cicero, NY to start their family when the time is right. He has set a goal to go to school and become a police officer. He, also, looks forward to the day of their new normal lifestyle as a civilian.

Fashion Tips For The Busy Adult
Fashion is a passion that takes some people by surprise. Unique fashion tells the world who you are, though. Read on for ideas on how you can learn as much about fashion as you can.
Add a belt to bring a touch of style to a simple outfit. The options are almost infinite when it comes to the styles, colors and designs of belts that you can purchase these days. Add a bright fluorescent belt to a pair of skinny jeans for a simple way to take advantage of a trend, or finish off a sophisticated look with a black patent belt.
Don't buy clothing just because it's on sale. If you don't look good in it, you'll never wear it again. It'll just end up collecting dust in the closet because you won't wear it, which is wasting your money.
Wear black jeans with a dressy top and high heels for a classy look. If you are wearing colored jeans, make sure that you are not going to a formal event.
Create a look that is specific to you. Many people are fashion followers, but what stands out is a fashion leader. You have to have a certain kind of personality to pull off fashion forward unique style, but if you try it, you can bask in multiple compliments for being different.
If you're overweight, don't wear horizontal stripes. These will make you appear wider than you are. Look for patterns with vertical lines so your height is emphasized instead of your width.
Are you in need of a new pair of jeans? If you have been in a clothing store lately, you know that the number of different sizes and fits available have mushroomed. It can seem like a little too much. When it doubt, go with old favorites, like a straight leg cut. You will get a lot of wear out of them, and it should flatter your body type.
Make lips look fuller by using a simple lip pencil and blending it around the edges with a sponge applicator. You can also skip out on the colored lipstick altogether and just apply some gloss over the blended edges. For a more pouty look, put a little more gloss towards the center of your top lip. You can also try adding a bit of eye shadow to your lip color. Put just a dab of eye shadow in the middle of both your upper and lower lips.
If you don't have much money to spend on fashion, it's okay to tell your friends about it. If you have a friend that has something you really want to wear, ask them if you can have it when they no longer want it. By doing this, you can get some great fashion finds for free.
Do you feel overwhelmed when it comes to dressing fashionably? Let fashion lead you into finding the style that make you feel and look great. Follow the advice shared here and you will find that your fashion sense will come together quite easily.…

Reasons for site-wide announcements
If your web site or web application has a regular user base, and you're constantly innovating (which you should be), then there will be a time when you need to let the users know of planned downtime, or explain why a particular feature is temporarily disabled. A nice notification of some sort is a great way to get the user's attention while allowing them (or not allowing them) to proceed with thier regular business.
If you've used Mint.com, Dropbox or any site that uses the standard top notification bar then you've probably seen the "planned maintenance" notification or the "balance is low" warning. The two aforementioned sites are exceptionally good when it comes to UI design and interaction, but some sites just get it wrong. Here are a few tips that can help when designing one of these systems:
- Time the announcements
If you've got a promotion running for 1 week, it pays to have the announcement bar appear only during that time. If you allow your announcements to have a start and end date, it will give an extra dimension to the way you can use them, and makes sure that they don't start too early or go stale.
- Allow the user to dismiss the announcement
The most annoying thing that can happen with announcements is the reappearing of an already dismissed announcement. Firstly, provide a close button and when it's clicked get rid of the announcement, plain and simple. Make it go away and stay away.
- Don't hide the "Don't Show Again" button
That fact is that some users are too impatient or uninterested to read your announcement before quickly closing it. Make your important announcements "sticky" so they will reappear the next time the user visits the site. On the other hand, if the user has read it and would not like to see it again, make sure that the "Don't Show Again" check box is prominently displayed and easily accessible
- Store the dismissal in a database if applicable
If your users have actual accounts on your site and are not just anonymous, don't just store cookies on their machines for keeping the announcement hidden, but also mark the announcement as read in the database for that user. This way if the user accesses your site from multiple computers, they won't be bombarded by the same announcements all throughout the day as they switch computers.
The light box/screen lock out
I left this one for last because I'm not sure where I stand on this issue. The light box/screen lock out (dimming the screen and placing a modal dialog or settings pane) can be extremely effective for cases where user information needs to be updated, or action is absolutely required. However, this brings up the issue of stopping the user dead in her tracks simply because you said so. Remember that they are your users, and they're on your site, but they can always go elsewhere if they become too annoyed.
The main thing to remember when creating an announcement system is that people don't like popups, they don't like being interrupted and they definately don't like losing control of the screen just because you have something to say. It's also important to remember that locking the users screen with a modal dialog box may be the best choice for some cases, but they never forget where the close box is located on thier browser and they are not afraid to use it.
