Calvinball has no rules; the players make up their own rules as they go along, making it so that no Calvinball game is like another. Rules cannot be used twice (except for the rule that rules cannot be used twice), and any plays made in one game may not be made again in any future games. The game may involve wickets, mallets, volleyballs, and additional sports-related equipment. There is only one permanent rule in Calvinball: players cannot play it the same way twice. For example, in one game of Calvinball, the goal was to capture the opponent's flag, whereas in a different game of Calvinball, the goal was to score points by hitting badminton shuttlecocks against trees using a croquet mallet. Masks must be worn at all times in Calvinball; these are not allowed to be questioned. ==Creation== Calvin created the game when he first became tired of organized sports. Although the first depicted game of Calvinball followed Calvin's failure to join the baseball team [http://freewebs.com/calhobbes/first.jpg], the game appears in such a complete form there that it is likely that Calvin and Hobbes had been playing the game for a long time beforehand. The only hint at the true creation of the game comes from the last Calvinball strip, in which a game of football quickly changes into a game of Calvinball. Calvin remarks, "Sooner or later, all our games turn into Calvinball," suggesting that a similar scenario led directly to the creation of the sport. ==Gameplay== Although all games of Calvinball are different, (you make up the rules as you go), many of them seem to involve a volleyball (the Calvinball), masks, and pickets with numbers printed on them. Key features of various games have included (in approximate order of appearance): *Wickets (referred to as "time-fracture wickets" in one strip) *Soccer balls *Flags *Masks * Small signs with numbers * Songs * Zones/Sectors * The "Opposite Pole" (Everything becomes the opposite; a player must declare when he or she touches it, but because it is the "opposite" pole, the player declares touching it by not declaring it) * The "Very Sorry Song" (see below) * The "No Song" zone (a player doesn't have to sing the "Very Sorry Song" if he or she is in the "No Song" zone) * The "Bonus Box" * Croquet mallets * Badminton shuttlecocks * "Vortex spots" (the player who steps in one has to spin around until they're dizzy) * The "Boomerang Zone" (A decree is returned to the player who called it and they must do what the decree says instead) * The "Invisible Sector" (This sector cannot be seen and whoever wanders into it must close their eyes; the only way out is to get bonked by the Calvinball) * A volleyball (the "Calvinball") * Trees (as goalposts) * Buckets * Poems * Sacks * Odd Scoring (Oogy to Boogy, Q to 12, etc.) * The Calvinball theme song (see below) * Decrees * Water balloons * Hobby horse * The "Pernicious Poem Place" (The player caught in this area will be forced to recite a poem followed by a penalty relating to it) * The Bag Flag Zone * The Secret Base * Slow Motion * The Perimeter of Wisdom * The Corollary Zone * The Baby Sitter Flag (The babysitter calls the game to an end and puts the other players to bed) ==Calvinball theme song== The Calvinball theme song made its only appearance in the penultimate Calvinball storyline. Calvin sings the lead while Hobbes sings backup with "Rumma-Tum-Tums." :"Other kids' games are all such a bore! :They've gotta have rules and they gotta keep score! :Calvinball is better by far! :It's never the same! It's always bizarre! :You don't need a team or a referee! :You know that it's great, 'cause it's named after me!" After that, Calvin tells [[Rosalyn]] to "feel free to harmonize with Hobbes on the 'rumma-tum-tums'". ==Quotes== {{Big Quote|No sport is less organized than Calvinball.|||Hobbes}}
{{Big Quote|Sooner or later, all our games turn into Calvinball.|||Calvin}}
{{Big Quote|The only permanent rule in Calvinball is that you can never play it the same way twice!|||Calvin}} {{Big Quote|The score is oogy to boogy!|4 = Hobbes}} {{Big Quote|The score is still Q to 12!|||Hobbes}} ==The "Pernicious Poem"== In one strip, Calvin landed on the Pernicious Poem Place and was forced to recite the following poem to [[Susie Derkins|Susie]]: "This is a poem! Please do what you're told! And here is a bucket of water, ice-cold! Please take this water, and dump it on me! Don't hesitate, do it A.S.A.P.! ==The Very Sorry Song== In one strip, [[Calvin]] and [[Hobbes]] are playing Calvinball, and Calvin  "[steals]" Hobbes' flag, and Hobbes hits him with the Calvinball. As a result, Calvin is required to put the flag back and sing the Very Sorry Song''.'' '''-Lyrics''' The "Very Sorry Song" has two parts, one sung by the one who did the action (the "offender"), and one sung by the person whom the action was done to (the "victim"). :{| border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse:collapse;" ! Offender ! Victim |- | "Here's the 'Very Sorry Songg.' Won't you help and sing alongg?" || "Bum bum bum" |- | "I blew it!" || "He's sorry!" |- | "I knew it!" || "So sorry!" |- | "I'm very very sorry that I took your precious flaaggg!" || "Just don't do it any more, you scurvy scalawaaggg!" |} [[File:Song.png|thumb]] ==Obscure Point System== Nobody knows how to score in Calvinball. The only known point values are Q and 12 in one game between Calvin and Hobbes and oogy and boogy in another. ==Trivia== * [[Bill Watterson]] once said, "People have asked how to play Calvinball. It's pretty simple: you make up the rules as you go." * In one strip, Calvin and Hobbes are seen playing an obscure combination of croquet, cricket, and baseball. It is unknown whether or not this is a variation of Calvinball, a predecessor to Calvinball, or simply another obscure game. Templates used on the current version of this page: Template:!

Having tried and failed to unload its Canadian iron ore assets last year, Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO) may find bidders valuing them more highly after the Quebec government recently agreed to spend up to $20 million for a feasibility study on a new railroad in the Labrador Trough region that would connect the area's iron ore mines to ports for access to global markets.
Canada isn't much of a player in the global iron ore trade, but development of the Labrador Trough in northern Quebec could change that. The government has long eyed investment there to further develop the region's potential: Plan Nord, a massive 25-year, $80 billion infrastructure and mining development project to tap into the region's resource that was first unveiled in 2011, is making a comeback. The new feasibility study is but a small part of the overall target.
The Iron Ore Company of Canada, or IOC, is Canada's largest iron ore producer and a leading global supplier of iron ore pellets and concentrate, producing 9 million tonnes in 2013 and sales 46% higher than the year before. Rio Tinto is its majority owner, with Mitsubishi owning a quarter and Labrador Iron Ore Royalty taking the remaining 15%. That stake also gives it part ownership of a railroad, the Quebec North Shore and Labrador Railway, and a deepwater port in Sept-Iles in northern Quebec -- the largest iron ore port in North America. While all this makes IOC an integrated operation, it has also made unloading it difficult for Rio Tinto.
Equally problematic has been the collapse of iron ore pricing, which is down 30% for the year and tumbled 20% in the last month alone before recovering a few percentage points last week. The slide has taken its toll on the industry, which has shelved numerous development projects.
Cliffs Natural Resources (NYSE:CLF) announced last week it would slash another $100 million from its capital spending program , on top of the $460 million in reductions it previously declared, and in February suspended expansion at its Bloom Lake iron ore project. And BHP Billiton (NYSE:BHP), which has played a role in pricing because it has kept production humming along on hopes of higher demand from China, recently said its policy may have allowed its iron ore business to expand too rapidly while ignoring the impact the growth had of the rest of the company's operations.
BHP, however, says despite its slowing economy, China's steel output will rise to 1.1 billion tons within a decade from about 779 million tons last year. That indicates demand for iron ore will not appreciably slacken, though the current supply glut may continue tempering prices. China alone consumes roughly two-thirds of the 1.2 billion-ton global seaborne trade of iron ore, with roughly one-fifth coming from Australia's Port Hedland. Rio Tinto is its second largest supplier.
Thus another railway that serves the Labrador Trough (ArcelorMittal operates the Cartier Railway, a second line in addition to IOC's North Shore, that serves the Mont-Wright mine) could still have merit for Rio Tinto because existing capacity isn't sufficient to meet expected demand, albeit from projects that are on hold due to market conditions. Although the benefits would be largely tangential to Rio since they'd serve to merely improve how the region looks for further development, the railway could make IOC that much more attractive to buyers.
Still, even if the government is prepared to study the matter, remember that Canadian National Railway (NYSE:CNI) set aside its own railroad and port facility feasibility study for the Labrador Trough last year because market conditions were so poor. As Cliffs has noted -- and it was partially funding CN's study -- it costs about $90 per ton to produce iron ore at Bloom Lake, and that's barely above the mineral's current cost. The situation has hardly improved over the intervening months, and the estimated $5 billion price tag to build the line remains steep.
If another link to the St. Lawrence Seaway got the green light, the biggest beneficiaries would be the region's junior miners that are waiting patiently to advance their own projects. But Rio Tinto just might find that renewed interest in the Labrador Trough could increase interest in its stake in the Iron Ore Company of Canada as well, and a price more to its liking could once again be in the offering.

UNIBADAN blows hot over retirees occupying staff quarters, says lecturers sleep in offices
The University of Ibadan, UNIBADAN, Senior Staff Housing Committee (SSHC) has urged persons who are illegally occupying staff quarters of the institution to vacate the buildings.
SSHC Chairman, Prof. Musiliu Onilude, who gave this warning in a statement obtained by DAILY POST on Wednesday, lamented that many retirees whose tenancies have expired were still occupying the university's quarters at the expense of staff members who desperately need to stay on campus in order to perform optimally.
He however, urged the illegal occupants to vacate the buildings before it becomes embarrassing as some drastic measures are in the pipeline to ensure sanity.
Onilude said, "We want to passionately appeal to these people who have retired from the services of the university, but refused to vacate the staff quarters to please leave before it becomes very embarrassing for them. We have been writing to them, begging them and urging them to vacate the quarters, yet, they are not budged. We don't like embarrassing people, but it is like these people want us to embarrass them before they leave".
He hinted that there were over 400 applications from various members of staff, who desperately need to stay on campus, adding that, "We don't have sufficient facilities to take care of these demands, yet, we have people who have retired three or four years ago still occupying the university quarters. To me , this is sheer wickedness and an abuse of privileges".
Onilude continued, "We also have people who have built their own houses in town but are deliberately holding on to the university property on campus simply because the cost is relatively cheaper. They are not occupying those buildings, they only come there once in a while. Again, this borders on wickedness and lack of consideration for others.
"There are staff members who are coming to work from far-away places. There are those sleeping in their offices in order to perform their duties effectively. All these people need accommodation on campus. And, you now have people who are just holding on to these property as a status symbol. This is not good. We need to be considerate of others.
"UI today has 24 Duplexes, 166 Bungalow, 146 Blocks of Flats of 3-Bedrooms, 162 Blocks of Flats of 2-Bedrooms, and 40 Blocks of 1-Bedroom flats and 22 Chalets. These quarters are presently fully occupied by 560 families. Yet, we still have over 400 requests for accommodation.
"It is against this backdrop that we are appealing to those occupying our structures illegally to please leave before we take drastic measures against them."

How many chaco tacos is sufficient for a 350 pound man?
My son is coming over for the holiday season but he informed us he only eats chaco tacos. I still feel a bit odd about it so I don't want to ask more details. How many should I buy to sustain him for 4 days/3 nights? Thanks.

- Steve GuyLv 610 months agoFavorite Answer
He ONLY eats chaco tacos? That's a very quick way to become unhealthy but ok I guess you support it. I did some quick calculations, and to maintain 350 pounds at 6 feet and 25 years of age he'd have to eat about 12.5 chocolate tacolates a day. Incidentally, I calculated the LD 50, or leathal dose for about 50% of people who ingest it, and if your son had absolutely no impulse control and you wanted to easily end his life all you'd have to do is drop approximately 166 of those bad boys in his lap and walk away. It's your call.

All of the tacos.

Good morning! I had to install BibleWorks 10 on a new computer, but I'm having difficulty with a few options, all revolving around the right click. My mouse is working properly, and double right clicking will on BYZ or BGT will still bring up the Greek Morphology pop-up, so I know it's not an issue with my mouse.
Yet, when I single right click on a Greek word, the context menu doesn't appear (allowing me to search by lemma, form, etc).
The single right click also won't work in my Analysis window, so I can't seem to switch my default lexicons over to BDAG and HALOT.
Any suggestions would be most helpful, thank you!

On Sunday Morning, Lee Charnley had extensive comments in the matchday programme. He spouted the same old tripe about putting all of the money the club earns back in the club and about ambitious aims they had for the season.
It sounded desperate, and when someone truly changes, they don't tell you about it in a long-winded commentary. They embody the changes they have made and words are often unnecessary. When someone tries to convince the masses of your intentions, it comes across as coercive and transparent.
In the programme, Lee Charnley also took digs at former manager Rafa Benitez. It was the same day Rafa wished Steve Bruce and Newcastle United luck in their upcoming season. The gulf in class between the two was there for all to see.
Well, Rafa Benitez has responded to Lee Charnley's petty and unwise remarks about Rafa's decision to not stay with Newcastle.
This is his response as written in the Daily Mail.
"I tried to do my best every day, even staying when we went down to the Championship and saying no to other offers — bigger offers than the one I recently accepted with Dalian Yifang, by the way.
"If I was only interested in moving for money, as Charnley stated, I could have done it much earlier.
"Newcastle's board had a year to sort out my contract but, when we met after the end of last season, they didn't make me an offer I could accept.
"They told me they didn't want to invest in the academy or the training ground — if they like, I can explain the reason why Mike Ashley refused to do that.
"Their idea of a project was a policy of signing players under 24 and, in my opinion, the budget available was not enough to compete for the top 10.
"After that meeting, I knew they would not come back with a serious offer and, when it arrived, 19 days later, it was for the same salary as three years earlier and with less control over signings.
"Charnley's comments in the programme about having a deal agreed for Joelinton in February explains a lot that I couldn't understand at that time.
"After three years of unfulfilled promises, I didn't trust them."
We don't blame Rafa Benitez one bit for defending himself as it was Charnley who fired the first shot. However, this has to end. This back and forth between the club and former manager is adding more chemical waste to the toxic sludge that our club has become.
Both sides have given pleaded their cases in public and it really needs to end right here. Lee Charnley should not respond. We don't know who put Lee up to his farcical statements in the programme, but we have an idea.
It is this club who has spoken of moving forward since Steve Bruce has arrived. However, they are the ones digging up the corpses of the past and throwing them into Steve Bruce's path.
We begged for communication from this club but now that they have spoken, we encourage them to return to silence. They need to stay in the shadows and let the players and coaches try to salvage a season out of the disorder they have unleashed.

Cheers for doing this again Martoon its a lot of work im sure and gives lots on here a good bit of fun.
Well said Rafa.
Now everyone got onto social media and spread Rafa's rebuttal to Nufc's Managing Director Lee Charnley's absolute bile.
19th richest club in the world but with a training ground only suitable for a 3rd division club at best.
"They told me they didn't want to invest in the academy or the training ground".
Break out the kids paddling pool that they got from B&M Stores lads if you need an ice bath or get out the wheelie bins, but remember you'll have to share or take turns as we couldn't afford enough to go around.
Newcastle may have to rethink boycott protests
Around 300 Newcastle fans marched through the rain from the Sports Direct store in Northumberland Street and congregated by the burger van at the bottom of Strawberry Place. They made their presence felt and registered their protest against Mike Ashley's continued ownership of the club. But still the club were able to announce an attendance of 47,635, just under 5,000 off capacity. That includes season-ticket holders who may not have turned up but, still, despite the filthy weather there did not appear to be more than 6,000?7,000 empty seats at St James'. This is a major problem for those who wish to organise protests: it will take far more than that not to turn up before any boycott begins to have an impact and, at the moment, there seems very little appetite for that – or, at least, there are enough casual fans willing to pick up tickets to counter the recusant hardcore. Jonathan Wilson
I supported the boycott as a one off protest to really show how despondent the majority of supporters feel. However clearly some misguided individuals will never put anyone but themselves first.
I do not think a continuation of withdrawal should be demanded as there will be negative consequences. However, give it another couple of matches and the calls from the club for better support will reach deaf ears. Although a hardcore, with assorted sundry, will still fill above half the stadium determined in their right to not abandon hope in the face of evidence to the contrary.
Jib it looks like Rafa was working on as much information as we were doesn't it. There was no takeover. If Ashley's lot didn't invent it, they milked a completely dead cow for as long as possible.
You're showing more signs of desperation hoping to ratify Ashley – you should give it up you're doing him more harm than good. 🙂

many thanks Martoon for taking the time to do this again, its always an interesting read at the end of the season
Lindy – "there did not appear to be more than 6,000?7,000 empty seats at St James'. This is a major problem for those who wish to organise protests"
That's a prime example of biased thinking. When was it ever acceptable to start a season against a top flight club, with several big signings, following on from a good run at the end of last season, with a new manager with a club looking forward to pushing on for achievement and still not falling 6,000 of CORE support and not have a vibrant, full to Capacity SJP?
If you weren't thinking from Ashley's point of view you would seriously be aware you had a PR problem on your hands and would be panicking.
Another thing, if the noisy dedicated support is not in the ground, ironically the silent mass who do turn up out of dutiful habit will do more to get the team demoralised and downhearted than the boycotters!
That, friends, is a FACT! 😀
Lindisfarne – I think the protest was a huge success and gained worldwide media coverage with a lot of empty seats shown – the actual figures at the game are estimated to be between 42,000 and 47,500 (the latter includes season ticket holders that didn't attend).
Lowest opening home fixture for as long as I can remember especially given that we had our new big signings on show and against a supposed top six side.
I guess Charnley and A$$ LIE think that we will continue to believe their Walter Mitty version of events. We have had 12 years of it and are truly sick to the back teeth of it.
We all know what needs to change – A$$ LIE out.
They're foolish to get into a mud slinging match with Rafa, they are parasites with zero credibility.
Their transparent attempts to smear and reconstruct the history of our greatest manager since Sir Bobby is foolish, even for them.
"They embody the changes they have made and words are often unnecessary."
It makes no difference whether he says he'll change or not. He could be greeting fans at the gate strapped to a polygraph and the fans still wouldn't believe him when he says good afternoon.
Yes he has earned the distrust, but on the flip side the fans just wouldn't give him the chance.

A seventy seven year old woman suffered a heart attack following a violent robbery at her home in Oldham last Friday.
The robber pushed woman to the floor before grabbing her handbag which contained cash and bank cards amongst other personal items.
The attacker then proceeded to kick the woman as she lay on the floor before fleeing her hom
The incident happened at a house on Sedgemoor Way shortly before 5.45pm when the offender forced his way through the victim's front door after posing as a furniture collector.
The woman was taken to hospital where she was treated for bruising to her arm, elbow and ribs. She also suffered a heart attack and is currently recovering.
The offender is described as slim build, in his 50s or 60s, white, approximately 5ft 2ins with black and grey scruffy hair.
He was wearing dark grey pants with a dark coloured zip up jacket and dirty black shoes.
Detective Constable Zahir Hussain, from Oldham CID, said: "This was a cruel and completely unnecessary attack that has left an innocent elderly woman in hospital. Our thoughts remain with her and her family as she recovers from this ordeal.
"I would like to ask that anybody who thinks they may know something that can assist with our investigation to please contact police.
"Similarly if you saw anyone in the area around the time of the robbery that matches the description of the offender, please get in touch."
Anyone with information should call police on 101, quoting incident number 1645 of 18 August 2017, or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

The Economic Collapse Blog
On the surface, things seem pretty quiet in mid-July 2016. The biggest news stories are about the speculation surrounding Donald Trump's choice of running mate, the stock market in the U.S. keeps setting new all-time record highs, and the media seems completely obsessed with Taylor Swift's love life. But underneath the surface, it is a very different story. As you will see below, the conditions for a "perfect storm" are coming together very rapidly, and the rest of 2016 promises to be much more chaotic than what we have seen so far.
Let's start with China. On Tuesday, an international tribunal in the Hague ruled against China's territorial claims in the South China Sea. The Chinese government announced ahead of time that they do not recognize the jurisdiction of the tribunal, and they have absolutely no intention of abiding by the ruling. In fact, China is becoming even more defiant in the aftermath of this ruling.

From the progressive era of the early twentieth century into the late 1980s, Wisconsin had the reputation for clean, open government. That reputation was erased when big money politics came to the state; politicians of both major parties became obsessed with fundraising. The definition of a "serious" candidate went from being "a person of integrity with great ideas who connects with people at the grassroots level" to "a willing tool of insiders who knows how to keep the special interest money flowing to the capitol."
In the early 2000s the "caucus scandal" exposed how taxpayer money was being used not to make state government more responsive to the people, but to well-connected special interests and the politicians doing their bidding for them. Prominent pols of both parties were forced to resign and/or serve prison time.The caucus scandal demonstrated that state government lacked an effective ethics watchdog; the then existing Ethics and Elections Boards were compromised by political pressure and partisanship. Miraculously, bipartisan support existed for the creation of a nonpartisan ethics/elections watchdog, and so in 2008 emerged the Government Accountability Board (GAB). The GAB monitored the same areas as the old ethics and elections boards (campaign finance, elections, ethics, and lobbying), but its rulings were made by retired state judges who served staggered, six year terms. Because the GAB was thus run by people of integrity instead of partisan hacks, it was guaranteed to upset established powers in Madison.
Indeed, from almost the moment of its creation, the GAB was under attack–primarily by the Republicans–as being a "rogue" agency that did not follow the law. Such attacks intensified after the election of Scott Walker and the GAB was called on to investigate a range of campaign finance and ethics violations. Rather than cower before and/or enable party leaders, as had been the mode of operation of the old ethics/elections boards, the GAB did its job. Ohio State Law Professor Daniel Tokaji in 2013 called the GAB "America's Top Model." He wrote:
In the United States . . . partisan election administration is the near-universal norm among the states . . . There is one conspicuous exception to the partisan character of state election administration: Wisconsin's Government Accountability Board . . . no other state has a chief election administration authority with the same degree of insulation from partisan politics.
Takaji then warned: "In our age of hyperpolarized politics—of which Wisconsin has lately been a leading example—it is an open question whether such a nonpartisan institution can function effectively." The GAB functioned so effectively that the Republican Party almost literally declared war on the agency. In a party line vote in 2015, the Republicans voted to end the GAB and return ethics and election regulation to partisan control. As noted at the time of the vote by Democratic representative Terese Berceau:
"The GAB is being abolished because it followed the law. State law required the GAB to certify the recall elections of the governor and legislators because over 900,000 citizens in our state, from red and blue districts alike, signed verifiable petitions. The governor and legislative Republicans didn't like that. The GAB again abided by the law when it investigated and found credible evidence of collusion between the governor's campaign and special interest groups. This also angered the GOP, which promptly changed the law to legalize this type of co-ordination."
The elimination of the GAB represented the kind of crass, hardball politics that makes people cynical about politicians and politics in general. You would think that GOP operatives would be happy with the fact that they succeeded in dismantling a nationally recognized regulatory agency (the GAB) and were able to go back, essentially, to the old days of ethics and elections commissions easily subject to partisan manipulation. Instead, there appears to be an effort underway to continue impugning the defunct GAB–as if continuing to take cheap shots at the agency will somehow nullify the good work it did and justify the outrageous dismantling of it.
Attacks on the GAB last week reached their high (or low) point in Attorney General Brad Schimel's recently released "Report of the Attorney General Concerning Violations of the John Doe Secrecy Orders." One of the reasons why the GOP wanted to demolish the GAB was because of the agency's role in the John Doe investigations of potential illegal campaign activities involving Governor Scott Walker. After the hyperpartisan Wisconsin Supreme Court ended the John Doe probe in 2015 (in a decision featuring the unwillingness of two Republican Supreme Court justices to recuse themselves even though they had received millions in campaign contributions from interests that were being investigated), the special prosecutor was considering an appeal to the United States Supreme Court. While the appeal was pending, thousands of John Doe documents were leaked to the Guardian.
The leaked documents revealed disturbing pay-to-play schemes at work in Wisconsin. The Guardian characterized them this way: "Leaked court documents from John Doe investigation in Wisconsin lay bare pervasive influence of corporate cash on modern US elections." What was the Wisconsin Assembly's response? Instead of urging Attorney General Schimel to further investigate troubling campaign activities described in the documents, they authorized him only to investigate the leaks! Leaking documents in violation of a court order is certainly an illegal act and should be investigated. But to ignore the content of the leaks gives tacit approval to the behavior revealed and, in this particular case, leaves citizens with the ability to conclude nothing other than that the legislature must be okay with pay-to-play and/or sweeping it under the rug. Attorney General Schimel's report on the leaks is fascinating in that it is framed according to the narrative long told by the assembly Republicans: the Government Accountability Board was a rogue agency, filled with attorneys who did not understand campaign finance law, and hostile to the governor. Schimel goes as far as to say, "Indeed, it is to the Legislature's credit that it disbanded GAB following this sordid tale." Notice that from the Attorney General's perspective the "sordid tale" is NOT that the leaked documents revealed an almost complete corporate takeover of Wisconsin's government, but that a regulatory agency aggressively tried to determine how and why the takeover happened. The AG's report is so ultra partisan and sloppy that it's received bipartisan criticism from the current ethics and elections boards.
Jay Heck, Executive Director of Common Cause in Wisconsin, was instrumental in helping the legislature create the Government Accountability Board. Here's what he wrote on Facebook about the Schimel Report:
"The most hyper-partisan state Attorney General in my 22 years with CC/WI, Brad Schimel, last week issued an error-laden, inaccurate, one-sided attack 'report' on the now-dissolved, non-partisan Wisconsin Government Accountability Board, ostensibly to find out who 'leaked' documents to the Guardian newspaper about Scott Walker's illegal campaign coordination with Wisconsin Club for Growth during the 2011-12 recall elections. Oh, and he couldn't find the 'leaker' but said he hopes 'contempt' proceedings may turn one up. Nothing in the report about the leaks to the Wall Street Journal and National Review by Club for Growth and/or others about the secret John Doe investigation. What a disgraceful waste of taxpayer dollars and time. Citizens should be outraged by Schimel's and other partisan Republican attacks and the ongoing assault on what was once honest, clean state government in Wisconsin."
To be clear: the GAB was eliminated not because it failed to uphold its mission, but because it upheld it too well. During the brief existence of the GAB, the major parties were on notice that the ethics watchdog would not look the other way while efforts were underway to sell state government to the highest bidder. That our Attorney General chose to join the hyperpartisans in continuing to kick the GAB even after its dissolution is really a travesty, especially given the fact that pay-to-play politics in our state shows no sign of disappearing anytime soon. If anything, the AG should be calling for the return of the GAB or at least something close to it.

Guide to the Curly Girl Method
Have you heard of the famous Curly Girl Method? Not sure what it is? Find out how to tame and nourish those curls naturally in my guide to clean & natural hair products for your Curly Girl routine.
If you have curly hair, then I'm sure you are all too familiar with the struggle that comes with keeping those locks luscious, defined and bouncy! You've probably heard of the Curly Girl Method – a specially tailored hair care routine for curly hair that's designed to help take the stress out of styling. In this blog, I'll guide you through all the best natural and organic products to help you tame unruly waves or wild ringlets...
What is the Curly Girl Method?
The Curly Girl Method is the best way to look after your wavy locks, keeping them full of life. This method is just as much about what you don't put in your hair, as what you do! The method, originally from Lorraine Massey's book 'Curly Girl: The Handbook', is a hair care routine that swaps damaging habits with a more curl-friendly haircare routine.
To keep it simple – the original method actually discourages shampooing (a.k.a. the "no poo" method) and overuse of heat styling. The Curly Girl approach can also encapsulate switching to sulfate-free shampoos instead of mainstream options (which are said to dry out or strip curls.) Another key part of the Curly Girl Method is to supercharge your hair care routine with nourishing conditioners, specially designed for curly locks to help restore bounce, definition and shine. The Curly Girl Method can be adapted and changed to suit your personal hair type or needs – for example, you can choose the "no poo" approach, or simply switch to a clean, natural shampoo and use minimally.
Natural hair care products for the Curly Girl Method
Ethique Frizz Wrangler - Shampoo for Dry or Frizzy Hair
Tame any dry or frizzy strands with the Ethique Frizz Wrangler, specially designed for curly or wild, unruly hair types. Free from the sulfates found in mainstream shampoo, this solid shampoo bar instead contains gentle coconut-derived surfactants. It's designed to help maintain smoothness, moisture and manageability without weighing hair down, thanks to creamy Coconut and Cocoa Butter. To use, simply swipe the bar through hair a few times, from roots to ends, and massage into a lather. Make sure you keep your shampoo bar dry in between uses!

The Yarok Feed Your Curls Defining Crème is an absolute favourite among Nourished Life customers who practice the Curly Girl Method, with 100+ reviews!

Andalou Naturals Argan Oil & Shea Moisture Rich Styling Cream
This moisture packed styling cream is oh-so-hydrating without being too heavy, made with curl-quenching Argan Oil and Cocoa Butter. What makes this Andalou Naturals Argan Oil & Shea Moisture Rich Styling Cream so great for curly hair is how it works to eliminate any frizz or flyaways and promote shiny, strong and manageable locks. It's also packed with fruit stem cells from Grapes and Apples! Work into damp hair and leave to dry.
Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses® Complex Color Care Leave-In Conditioner
This delicious smelling leave-in conditioner is perfect if you have both curly and coloured hair. The Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses® Complex Color Care Leave-In Conditioner is designed to keep that salon-fresh look locked in for longer, packed with hair-strengthening PhytoCellTec® Alpine Rose Stem Cells and nutrient rich Pomegranate, Coconut and Rosehip and Coconut Oils.

Apply evenly to damp hair and leave to air dry.
Dr Bronner's Organic Hair Crème - Lavender
The Dr. Bronner's Organic Hair Crème has a lush Lavender scent, but what's best about this luxurious creme that you can use it for multiple purposes – a leave-in conditioner? Styling cream? Heat protector? It does it all! Tame your flyaways and define those curls with a natural formula packed with organic goodies like Coconut and Avocado Oils. Apply a small amount straight after showering.
Less is More Tangerine Curl Balm
The Less is More Tangerine Curl Balm is another great natural leave-in conditioner for curly hair, specially formulated to help protect fine to normal curly hair from damage as well as add bounce, shine and volume. Lightweight yet nourishing, this certified organic balm actually contains an ingredient called Guar Gum, which creates a protective film around the hair and gives curls definition and hold. Apply a small amount to damp hair.

Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Adrienne Arsht Center, Dolores, funeral, Keator, Miami, passing, patron, Sanford, Ziff
We are saddened by the passing of a very special member of the Adrienne Arsht Center family. Dolores Ziff was not only one of our Center's major donors but also one of our most loyal patrons. Dolores had an indefatigable devotion to the arts and embraced the diversity of the Center's programming. The passing of so great a woman will surely be felt throughout our entire community.
Her name is permanently engraved on our Donor Walls – and her spirit will live with us at the Center forever. The example she set will long continue to influence and inspire us.
This past January 18th, the Adrienne Arsht Center dedicated a performance by Joshua Bell in loving memory of Dolores and her surviving family: her beloved husband Sanford and the entire Ziff and Keator families. "Her boundless enthusiasm will be missed but she will always be with us in spirit," remarked M. John Richard. Our thoughts and prayers are with them at this time. In addition, the Adrienne Arsht Center created a tribute page for the Sunday edition of The Miami Herald.
A memorial celebration of Dolores Ziff's life was held at noon, Jan. 22, in The Church by the Sea in Bal Harbour. Dolores Ziff adored all flowers, especially peonies, but preferred donations be made to Camillus House in Miami.

Specializing in the integration of one's genetic potential in all areas of natural human performance.
While there are a lot of supplement options and anti-aging clinics worldwide, very few take performance seriously and look into all areas of performance. We spent years finding and testing the finest raw materials and tested each extensively in the lab as well as at our sports science center; allowing for the best results possible, while also making sure no harm would be done to the human body. DNA started as a private performance center after years of work with professional and college athletes, where we saw a huge need to educate the general public and then decided to build a one-of-a-kind specialty lab were we develop our own line of Bio-Identical Growth Compounds.
For years we have found physical and medical testing can give proven results. Countless individuals have gone through our thorough testing processes to find the best avenues for successful and healthy progress in all areas of human performance. Often times human performance is associated with the likes of illegal PED use and unnatural altering of the human body, at DNA we strive to take all life factors into consideration while focusing on healthy legal options for all of our clients. Many trends come and go, but science and medicine are constantly evolving. The goal of DNA is to offer the most up to date products, services, and options for all individual needs.
Please consult your regulating officials before use or possession or purchase of any dietary supplement. While our products are all natural and no prescription is needed, we still strongly recommend that all athletes and drug tested individuals clear any future use with their governing bodies. Recent court rulings in reference to Major League Baseball have stated that all forms of IGF-1 (regardless of the nature: natural or synthetic) are banned in MLB.
The best way to get started with anything is to have a goal in mind. We recommend calling or emailing DNA to communicate what you personally are looking to accomplish, along with providing some general background.
Often times we recommend clients to see a local doctor or we can recommend one we have worked with. Blood work can be very helpful due to the wonderful advancements in medicine and technology. While we do not provide any medical advice, many physicians and local labs offer a variety of clinical lab tests to support your well-being. Often times a general full panel, taken annually, will confirm your baseline values and give you a good idea if anything is abnormal. Another excellent option is a more advanced test known as a Micronutrient Blood Test, which measures one's internal ability to absorb vitamins, nutrients, anti-oxidants, metabolic carbohydrates, amino acids, metabolites, and minerals currently found in white blood cells. This is an important factor in determining any deficiencies you may currently have and provides a plan to get back on track via supplementation.
By truly knowing your baseline and re-testing after consuming any supplement or dietary items an individual can see if progress is being made internally, along with overall feeling and performing better. Often times supplement and diet consumers are playing a dangerous guessing game, hoping that the items they consume are working instead of truly measuring.

Amazing Ways to Put a Razor Blade Into Use
Razor blades will oftentimes be called in for various tasks. There are however a number of ways of using these razor blades that most people know nothing about. It is therefore necessary that we explore this for better understanding. Read more to learn more ways that these razor blades can be used.
It is possible for you to rely on these blades to scrape paint from your furniture. This will be done in a way that will actually not damage the finish. Paint spatters will often be found on furniture. These blades will turn out to be effectively reliable. You will be required to wrap one layer of masking tape around each edge of the blade. You will be required to make sure that this blade is bent in a manner that makes it to curve. It is through this that you will be able to ensure that the spatters are knocked off without really touching the wood. You will have to make sure that the blade does remain in a perpendicular position in relation to the surface. It is through this curving that you will be allowed to reach the depths that you desire. It is necessary to indicate that this will offer you the chance to replace any missing wood. This razor will be the perfect tool to slice a piece of epoxy that will be necessary in this process. The razor will certainly be the right tool to depend on for the scraping of the surface where the epoxy is expected to be applied.
You can still use these razors on clothes. It is possible to use them in removing pills from your sweaters. You will learn that there is more probability of the sweater pilling if it is exposed to constant rubbing with things like backpacks. The razor will be the one to shave the area that has been affected. A razor blade will always make shaving the top layer of the fabric to be quite easy. It is also possible to remove paint from your clothes using these razor blades. They will often be used to scratch off the paint from the clothes.
You will also note that a good number of people use them for the removal of gunk from glass. It is however necessary that you be careful with this process. This will reduce the instances of the glass breaking particularly if pushed so hard. This is similar to when handling dishes. You will however be required to wrap a dishcloth around the blades. This will give it a better leverage. It is also worth using these blades in scraping ice. This is particularly if this ice has stuck on your windshield. You will just need to be careful not to shutter the glass.

Clampdown on cellphone swindlers
Hackers have found a way to clone cellular telephones, leaving legitimate
subscribers to pay for unauthorised calls. The swindle came to light recently
when thieves ran up a bill of £7000 on a portable phone belonging
to rock star Phil Collins.
British Telecom spotted the clone of Collins's phone on its Cellnet
network because he had been given a phone free of charge in return for endorsing
the product. The fraud was allowed to continue for a few weeks to build
up evidence of criminal activity. Racal's Vodafone network now gets up to
15 complaints a week about cloning.
When manufactured, a cellular phone is like a computer without a program.
It will work only after being authorised for use on the Cellnet or Vodafone
networks. Authorisation is given by firms called service providers, which
allocate a telephone number and a secret electronic serial number to every
Both numbers are stored on a memory chip inside the phone. Whenever
the phone is used, it automatically transmits both numbers. Computers guarding
the network compare the two as a precaution against fraud, just as a bank's
cash machine compares the card number with the user's personal identification
number (PIN).
The scam relies on a person who works for a network or service provider
stealing existing pairs of numbers. A hacker then uses a personal computer
to reprogram the memory chip of a stolen cellphone with these numbers. The
result is a clone of a phone owned by a subscriber. The crooks hire out
the 'clonephone', offering unlimited international calls. The rightful owner
of the cloned phone picks up the real bill.
To combat cloning, both networks are introducing safeguards. A computer
system called Credit Alert identifies sudden excessive use of individual
phone numbers. Bandit Alert monitors the location from which mobile calls
are placed and sounds an alarm if phones with the same numbers ring in from
different cities at similar times. Vodafone has a third defence, called
PIN Challenge. Operators interrupt international calls and challenge callers
to answer questions about their home addresses and phone numbers. If the
answers are wrong, the calls are blocked.

A Farewell to Dr Djelantik;
I realised today that it has been 3 weeks since I have posted anything on this blog. August has been incredibly busy, and the last weeks I was in Bali were all 17 hour work days, finishing off images for Jerome's book, and editing a Buddhist text translation at night. Meanwhile one of my all time favorite people, one who I definitely consider the Balinese man of the century, Dr A.A. Made Djelantik of the Karangasem royal family in east Bali, passed away this year, having led a long and eventful life. Being the son of the last ruling king of Karangasem certainly didn't leave him with many hang ups. Dr Djelantik led an adventurous life with the humility of one who clearly knows that the universe is huge, and that one has to rely one's strength of character rather than so called birthright. He studied in Holland, where he met the love of his life, Astri. They raised a family whilst living a very full life: working in remote parts of the Moluccas during the years of revolution and early days of the Republic, and also as the first director of Bali's public hospital in Sanglah. The good doctor, a tropical disease specialist, worked for the WHO as a malaria expert in Africa and the Middle East i (which included a few days stint as the 'special guest' in the tin roof isolation prison at the desert HQ of an Iraqi intelligence interrogation squad who were positive he was a spy), a narrow escape from the the volcano Gunung Agung's wrath in 1963, lecturer on Balinese art and culture, active in Balinese cultural preservation, founder of the Walter Spies foundation, and of course a few other things which I can't remember here. He was also a practicing doctor, and helped my youngest daughter nip some serious tropical illnesses in the bud. This portrait I took of him was shortly after his beloved wife died in the 90's – apparently she died in the early hours of the morning. He sat with her waiting for the dawn, playing her favourite tunes on his violin. He honored me by opening my exhibition at the Four Seasons, and gave a truly touching speech, rare these days. After a serious illness which left him in a coma for several weeks, he came back fighting, and recovered. True to form, well into his seventies, he decided to take up painting to depict some of the many remarkable moments in his life. A few months after his cremation, his children held a memorial for their parents, to thank them for such an extraordinary life. The paintings were also exhibited, and his book of paintings and the interviews which Idanna Pucci did for the book were also discussed. The memorial was as ecleclectic as Dr Djelantik's life. Some of his grand children played some soft rock. His daughters Surya, Wulan, and Madeli danced classic legong, son Widur did his first Baris in 40 years and it pulled it off quite weel, a bunch of granddaughters did the weaving dance, while Stranger in Paradise MadeWijaya aka Michael White did his trannie legong, dragging away on a cigarette (and it must be admitted, stole the show), and the first President's saughter Sukma Soekarnoputri was on hand to give Wulan a big kiss, before announcing (to the whole family's astonishment) her campagn to have Sanglah hospital renamed Dr Dejalantik Hospital. We'll see. Fare well Dr Djelantik. We will never forget you.

More than half of our farm is across the river. Our big hay barn, the pastures, most of the cattle, timber and hay fields take up most of the area. We do not have electricity on this larger side of the farm. When power is needed for fencing around the barns, or for the two-month temporary fences we use to keep the cows out as the grass is growing for the next hay crop, we use portable solar power units.
Even in poor weather, these small low-voltage units can produce enough current to charge the barriers. The investment of these portable units have paid off many times over. The units last for several years. The only maintenance needed is a good cleaning before storing at the end of a season.
It only takes two wires strung across an area to keep a line secure. Woven wire, barbed wire, or the white tape wire known as New Zealand fencing can all be used with these chargers.

We have thousands of items on permanent display. We are now able to have more programs that involve the community. We try to have a current display that changes every few months.
The majority of the downstairs level of the museum is given over to the W. A Jones Collection of Ancient Weapons. William A. Jones owned an iron foundry in Chicago, traveling around the world in search of items for his collection. Many of the guns you can see on display were purchased in such faraway locations as Mexico City, Paris, Dublin, Constantinople, Jerusalem, Cairo, as well as all over the United States.
On view in the La Porte County Historical Society Museum is the Kesling Automobile Collection, consisting of more than 30 vintage automobiles collected by Dr. Peter C. Kesling and his wife Charlene. They range in age from a 1903 Winton to a 1982 DeLorean, the car made famous in the movie "Back to the Future." The 1903 Winton was driven from California to New York City by Dr. and Mrs. Kesling in 2003, retracing the path of the first coast to coast auto journey by Dr. Horatio Jackson, one hundred years earlier.
Historical Society is 102 years old. Recently moved into a beautiful building.

Ponzi or pyramid schemes seem to be everywhere lately. Last year, one of the largest international Ponzi schemes, Mavrodi Mondial Movement (MMM) set up shop in Nigeria, and about 3 million people joined. Another pyramid scheme, Ultimate Cycler, reportedly registered 2,000 people every week until it shut down in December. And despite reports that people lost about ₦18 billion to MMM, a new scheme, Twinkas, keeps attracting participants, including those who have lost money before.
The media has documented these developments, dutifully pointing out Nigerians' gullibility, but something about this characterization doesn't quite ring true. In a country where being "sharp" and streetwise are hailed as virtues, it is hard to understand why millions of people would be repeatedly conned by various versions of the same scam. Are people really victims or are we victimising each other?
Current Winners, Future Losers
A Ponzi scheme is an investment scam that typically operates in the following way: Mr Money Maker rides into town and asks the townspeople to invest in his new business, Money Making Machine (MMM) Inc. He claims the business involves turning oil into gold and is so profitable that he will pay investors a 30 percent return on their investment every month. But there is no oil, and there is no gold. Each month, as payment comes due, Mr Money Maker recruits new investors and uses their money to pay old investors. One month, Mr Money Maker can't find any more new investors; without more cash coming in, he changes his phone number and quietly vanishes into the night. MMM Inc. is no more, and all new investors (or reinvestors) have lost their money. Pyramid schemes differ slightly by paying participants based on how many new members they bring in, but the underlying principle is the same – people only gain money from the future losses of other participants. And so, Peter is robbed to pay Paul.
Government agencies usually assume that participants are oblivious to the true nature of the Ponzi scheme. In our example, Mr Money Maker would be charged with committing fraud because he lied that he was creating value by turning oil into gold; in reality, he was only shifting money around. Public officials expect that sharing information would reduce participation and encourage people to move their money to real investments.
But what if Mr Money Maker didn't lie? What if he rolled into town and boldly stated what he was doing?
Interestingly, the recent crop of Ponzi schemes in Nigeria make no secret of the fact that participants are not investors and will receive money only from other participants. MMM notoriously describes itself as a community. The schemes are clearly not designed to attract and deceive people who are looking for "proper" investment opportunities. So, if investing is not the incentive for participation, what is?
High Risk, High Reward
Right now, many Nigerians appear to approach these schemes with a mentality more akin to gambling than investing. They understand they stand to gain a lot of money as long as other people join but risk losing their money when the scheme folds up. And when EFCC tells Nigerians to "learn their lesson" from the failure of MMM, people aren't learning how to identify and avoid Ponzi schemes. Instead, they are learning strategies for playing the game better, such as, not putting in more money than they are willing to lose, not participating in any one scheme for more than a few months, and cashing out while they are ahead.
For Nigerians, MMM is like a reverse lottery: your likelihood of winning increases with the number of people who participate. So information campaigns to sensitise people against Ponzi schemes may have actually made these schemes more popular, and thus, more profitable!
If Nigerians see Ponzi schemes as a gamble, then it is not surprising that participation rates are so high. In recent years, Nigerians have displayed an increased propensity to gamble. Although there are only three licensed casinos in the country, gross revenues for casinos more than doubled from $26 million in 2011 to $56 million last year. Sports betting has grown even more. In 2014, close to 60 million Nigerians each spent an average of ₦3000 a day on sports betting.
Countries like South Africa, Kenya, and Zimbabwe where MMM successfully operated have similar gambling trends, suggesting that this pattern is not unique to Nigeria. Perhaps the best way to understand why Ponzi schemes have thrived is to examine why gambling has become so popular. From this perspective, strategies to curb illegal gambling may be more effective against the current crop of Ponzi schemes than traditional approaches.
A Broad Appeal
All this talk of betting and gambling may lead you to conclude that Nigeria's Ponzi schemes are mainly filled with young people. After all, the young are usually more willing to take risks with money, hanging around "Baba Ijebu" lotto kiosks, crowding sports betting centres, and diverting their school fees into Ponzi schemes. But that's not the whole story. Although there is no comprehensive data on all participants, there are just as many anecdotes of older adults putting in their pensions or trying to augment their civil service salaries to care for their families.
The common denominator for all groups is economic uncertainty. Entrepreneurs in Nigeria worry about the survival of their businesses and workers face uncertainty over their salaries being paid on time, or even paid at all. And these fears are not unreasonable; many businesses shut down last year, and over 10 million people were unemployed as at June 2016. With their livelihoods already at risk, people look more willing to try their luck with Ponzi schemes as a potentially more lucrative bet.

Nordea Bank Ban's employees From Owning Cryptocurrency
Hey ninjas, how's the trading going? On the day, the crypto market is trading sideways with the majority of the top 20 cryptocurrencies reporting moderate daily gains. Bitcoin is currently trading at $7,317 and reporting daily gains of 0.23% at press time. Top altcoin Ether is also reporting gains of 0.88% at press time and is trading at $150.
Nordea bank first made public its intention to ban its employees from investing in cryptocurrencies in January 2018. Nordea is the largest bank in Scandinavia and as such, its decision to ban its employees from owning cryptocurrencies will deprive 31,500 people of the right to invest in cryptocurrencies.
According to a BNN Bloomberg report on the 3rd of December, a Danish court has ruled that the bank can bar its workers from owning Bitcoin as well as other digital currencies but this ruling does not apply to the digital currency financial instruments the bank has been selling to its customers or any digital currency owned by its employees before the restriction.
The court gave reasons for its ruling citing various risks accompanied by owning and investing in digital currencies.

HOUSTON - It was a dance party and a quick lesson in physical education at Milton Cooper Elementary Thursday afternoon where the Houston Rockets and Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital tipped off their 2016-17 Be Fit program.
The Be Fit program encourages and rewards children for pursuing a healthier lifestyle through good nutritional choices and physical activity.
Rockets center Clint Capela led the way.
"To have this moment with the kids and let them know how important it is to be healthy, to be fit, that was just unbelievable," Capela said.
As part of the exercise clinic, students learned some dance moves thanks to the Rockets Power Dancers. The team also donated a large amount of athletic equipment to help with the school's physical education program.
