Sanders says 'ultra-rich' have been 'looting' for 40 years, amid looting of businesses and banks
Destruction to businesses, retailers and banks has been reported in major cities including NYC, D.C., Philadelphia, Boston, Oakland and Phoenix
As looters target corporations and banks in protest across the county, Sen. Bernie Sanders, a former Democratic presidential candidate, says "ultra-rich" individuals have been "looting" in America for 40 years.
"The richest 400 Americans sit on $3 trillion – the size of the entire UK economy," Sanders, a Vermont Independent who caucuses with Senate Democrats, tweeted Sunday. "The billionaire class now pays a lower tax rate than people living paycheck to paycheck. The looting of America has been going on for over 40 years – and the culprits are the ultra-rich."
Sanders has not denounced the actions of the violent protestors, who have set fires in cities and looted large retailers such as Target and banks including Chase.
In New York City, looters smashed the windows of luxury retailers and loaded merchandise into vehicles on Sunday. In Washington D.C., businesses in Georgetown and other areas were looted.
The congressional office for Sanders, a democratic socialist, did not respond to an immediate request for comment Monday.
Like Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren was a 2020 Democrat president candidate who often criticizes millionaires, billionaires and corporations as contributors to income inequality in the U.S.
Warren hasn't addressed the six straight nights of riots and looting in U.S. cities, sparked by the death of George Floyd, who died May 29 after being arrested by Minneapolis police.
Boston, in Warren's home state of Massachusetts, is one of the cities that has seen violent protests including looting and vehicles set on fire. Her office also did not respond to a request for comment before publication.

Bishop outraged that Trump uses Church and sacred symbols for photo op after sanctioning violence against peaceful protesters.
Authorities in Minnesota said on Monday that George Floyd's death was a homicide that occurred while he was being restrained by law enforcement.
In an autopsy, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner listed Floyd's cause of death as a "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression."
The autopsy listed other "significant" conditions, including hypertensive heart disease, fentanyl intoxication and recent methamphetamine use.
The document's release came hours after pathologists hired by Floyds' family concluded that he died after blood and air flow was cut off to his brain, causing him to die by mechanical asphyxia.That autopsy, conducted by Dr. Michael Baden, the former chief medical examiner of New York City, found that he had no underlying medical problems that caused or contributed to his death.
"He was in good health," Baden said.

'They're gonna blame us': Viral videos show black people urging white protesters not to get violent
As chaos continues to unfold in America, black protesters are expressing fear that their white counterparts are putting them at risk.
As thousands of Americans flood the streets to protest George Floyd's death, many black protesters have expressed concerns that white protesters are putting them at risk.
Black protesters have responded to white protesters defacing property on social media.
One viral video depicts a white woman writing "Black Lives Matter" in spray paint on a Starbucks.
A black woman filmed the incident, and tells the white woman to stop, saying police officers and the wider public will blame it on black people.
..... In a similar video, taken in Oakland California, a crowd of people who appear to be mostly white smash the windows of a restaurant while a black woman holding a megaphone begs them to stop.
.... Yesterday on social media, footage emerged of a citizen damaging property during a protest being removed from the area.
In the footage, peaceful protesters could be seen surrounding a hooded demonstrator wearing a backpack, who was attempting to smash public property.
The person was lifted up and handed over to police, with one protester shouting, "Get the white people!" as they are removed.
The crowd could be heard cheering as the hooded protester was handed over to police.

Twitter suspends fake antifa account run by white supremacists
Twitter has suspended a fake "antifa" profile on its platform, which the tech giant says was linked to the white nationalist group Identity Evropa, for making posts inciting violence during ongoing protests in the United States, according to US reports.
The recently created account, @ANTIFA_US, issued tweets calling for violence and rioting. "Tonight's the night, Comrades," the account tweeted. "Tonight we say 'F--- The City' and we move into residential areas… the white hoods… and we take what's ours ..."
The post ended with #BlackLivesMatter and #F***America, and the profile's photo included the antifa logo.

Fringe groups point finger back at Trump, Democrats
Extremist movements on the left and right are pushing back at claims by President Donald Trump and others — including some Democrats — that their members are primarily to blame for the violent unrest convulsing the country in recent days.
In interviews with POLITICO, followers of both the far-left Antifa and the far-right Boogaloo Bois — diffuse, mostly white, movements without any clear hierarchy or central organization — pointed their fingers back at government officials and expressed their support for black protest leaders.
"This is really just one more attempt from the Trump administration to distract from real problems," said "David," a spokesman for Rose City Antifa of Portland, Ore., who offered only a pseudonym in responding to statements from President Donald Trump and administration officials blaming the movement for the outbreak of violence.
Patrick Fairbairn, an administrator of several Boogaloo Facebook groups, said most people affiliated with the movement were showing up at at sites of unrest to protect protesters, and he offered praise for Black Lives Matter.
"If they haven't been heard and they need to be heard, they've got to do it their way," said Fairbairn, who identified himself as 23-year-old electrician. "The worst thing is to have this artificial separation between the people."
On Friday, another far-right group, Oath Keepers, which is affiliated with the militia movement, condemned Trump's statement that "when looting starts, the shooting starts."

I know if he was trying to pick you up you will be running to your car with him on hand. But we are talking about girls here and not New York City or San Francisco girls.
A MAN has filmed a video of himself trying to pick girls up by walking up to them naked on the street.
The latest in a series of escalating YouTube pick up videos is the creatively-titled "Naked Guy Picking Up Girls" by Norwegian man Freddy Fairhair.
Many of his targets awkwardly smile and laugh along as he undresses in front of them. Some even give him their phone number.
"You're cool, I like you," one woman says.
But Mr Fairhair doesn't just ask for numbers - he gives some of the women unasked-for hugs and kisses and even implores one group to look at his boner.
"I'm having a boner. You turn me on. Is it visible? I don't want to look," he says.
In the YouTube video description he says he was inspired by other risk-taking YouTube pranksters Vitaly Zdorovetskiy and Remi Gaillard.
"What a freedom I felt doing this haha!" Mr Fairhair posted.
Many YouTube commenters have congratulated Mr Fairhair on being a "brave man" and posting a "hilarious" video.
But other commenters and websites including Gawker and The Daily Dot have labelled his behaviour "full-blown sexual assault".

The second breakout session I attended was led by James Harris, co-founder of Elemental Interactive and focused more or less on the social sharing of news content.
According to Harris, 2011 will be "The Year of The Tablet" as about 30 new makes and models flood the marketplace, joining the likes of the iPad. According to a Forrester study, one-third of all U.S. online customers will own a tablet computer by 2015. Harris believes that the future of all media will be digital, expertly curated and highly personalized. To Harris, the combination of social magazines and tablet computers leads to a state of reading Nirvana. He said that backward-looking, month-old printed mail magazine subscriptions will be rendered close to useless.
Harris said that a magazine in today's day and age should be real time, current and fresh. He considers tablet (at this point really iPad) apps Flud, Flipboard and Newsmix as social browsers (I would add OnGo News to this list) and contends that social browsing allows us to rethink the magazine and newspaper formats.
I agree with the basic premise that Harris lays out about the significance and spread of socially curated news content, as well as the emergence of tablet computers in the coming year. My overall impression of this session, however, was mixed.
For starters, there was much debate and disagreement over what a magazine is. I chimed in that while there are standard conventions associated with design of newspapers, magazines and newsmagazines there are also standard conventions associated with the new platform that is a tablet. The tablet is literally a hands-on device. The ability to touch, swipe, move and shake adds a much more value-added user experience to the consumption of news. Murdoch's The Daily, although only days in its infancy, is a perfect example of combining traditional news conventions with the conventions of the iPad platform. When it comes to interactivity, The Daily offers an immersive hands-on news consumption experience unlike anything you've ever seen or held before. Simply put, it's awesome.
The other issue I have about this session is I feel the economics of such "social browsers" was glossed over. An audience member asked how do you pay for social news. There wasn't really a good answer. But as I've written on here before, economics are important. The Daily is an important first-mover game-changer but I doubt others will be able to replicate its success as what I believe will be a financially-viable iPad-only publication. When discussing the economics of these social curation magazines, there are two points to keep in mind:
1)Legacy media are already getting in on this game. OnGo News is a joint collaboration of The Times Co., Washington Post Co. and Gannett, aka The Big Boys of News. The New York Times will soon launch News.Me, their social news answer to Murdoch's The Daily. (Harris focused much of his talk on Flipboard).
2)Paywalls will fundamentally change social curation. Third-party devices like Flipboard effectively poach content from other sources. In some instances, these are partnerships with willing media partners. In other instances, it is not. Once content from The New York Times goes behind a paywall, it will be incredibly difficult if not impossible to socially curate and share that content on a device like Flipboard. Social curation as we know it is predicated on the ease of disseminating online content that is presently free. Once you have to pay for that content (and all indications are that you will have to increasingly pay for more and more of the online content we love) , the game changes. Once the online media eco-system shifts from free to fee, you need platforms, devices and a workable business model that will support the drastic change from the status quo.
Of course, that is an entirely different debate and one in which the industry does not agree. I continue to advocate for micropayments, specifically in the modified form I co-developed in the Graybeal & Hayes' "Modified News Micropayment Model." (in press in The International Journal on Media Management).
I welcome discussion on these points. Thanks to James Harris for sharing his knowledge and starting the debate at SoCon11.

Senior Accepted into Texas A&M Nursing Program
April 11, 2019
Senior Machaela Trevino has always wanted to be a nurse. And with much determination and lots of studying, Trevino is making this dream into a reality. She has been accepted into the Texas A&M Nursing Program through the intensive PSJA nursing program–Project HEAL.
"I wanted to be a nurse because I like the idea of caring for others, and helping people be healthier and happier," Trevino said.
Project HEAL has allowed Trevino to apply to the nursing program at Texas A&M. Only Project HEAL students are allowed to apply. However, out of 10 students Trevino was the only one who was accepted. Project HEAL is a program partnered with Region One Education Service Center, Doctor's Hospital at Renaissance (DHR), South Texas College, PSJA ISD and two neighboring school districts. This program helps high school students take their prerequisites and complete the HESI exam before they turn 18.
"I started my junior year and I've been doing it ever since," she said.
Before Project HEAL came along Trevino was searching for ways herself to earn her prerequisites for nursing. Trevino would look at the UTRGV nursing program classes and see if those classes were available through STC. She was inspired by her mom who encouraged her to achieve her goals and to receive a higher education. However, it was counselor Dominique Caro that helped Trevino discover the nursing program.
"My tia told me to get the classes that are needed out of the way and my mom helped me through it all" Trevino, said "It was Ms. Caro who showed me Project HEAL when I was a sophomore."
In May, Trevino will graduate with an Associates in Science under Interdisciplinary Studies and will attend Texas A&M next fall. In two years Trevino will graduate from Texas A&M and will be a certified nurse that can work in a hospital.

Easy Dreamy Banana Pudding – This No Bake Banana Pudding is incredibly creamy and delicious. It's every bit as good as the old fashioned southern banana pudding your grandmother made.
*This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, read my disclosure policy.
This dessert is truly a tradition among traditions at our house. It does not matter what holiday, gathering, potluck or summer fun day. I am asked to make my banana pudding! This recipe was created many many years ago and gets rave reviews amongst my family and friends.
Many of the desserts I make are really easy to put together and I think that is often a plus. Some people add all kinds of things in their pudding and those are certainly delicious, but this simple recipe is one has stood the test of time. Sometimes simple is truly better y'all, and this is one of those times!
What you Need to Make a No Bake Banana Pudding
- Vanilla Pudding
- Whipped Topping (Cool Whip)
- Bananas
- Nilla Wafers or Chessman Cookies as an option
- Milk
How to Make Easy Southern Banana Pudding
Step 1. Whip up two boxes of 5.1 oz Instant Vanilla Pudding with 6 cups of milk (I use whole milk – it's creamier). In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer mix the pudding and milk for 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 2. Add in 16 ounces of whipped topping -(I love getting BOGO at my local Publix grocery store) Mix this in until creamy and well blended.
Step 3. Use a trifle dish or a 9 X 13 baking dish. Layer the bottom with pudding, add cookies and bananas. Then repeat layers as your container permits, ending with a pudding layer on top. (I usually have 5 or 6 layers in my trifle dish)
Step 4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to overnight to set.
TIPS : (I like to make this early in the morning if using for an evening dessert, or I make the day before if lunch. I find if it sits overnight it is delicious. However, I would dip bananas in lemon juice if you plan to allow them to show. Also I don't recommend garnishing the top with sliced bananas, as they will brown.
Step 5. Garnish as desired and serve.

This is causing untold issues for people, not only does a poor credit rating prevent consumers from obtaining mortgages to telephone contracts, it takes credit availability away from those who need it the most.
That's why, at 1Plus1 Loans we see the need for our type of "poor credit loan". We realise that people make mistakes in life and we like to give consumers a second chance at bringing their finances back on track.
A good place to start would be to check your credit file. You can sign up to one of the big "credit reference agencies" like Equifax for a small fee.
Taking on the responsibility of repaying a loan may not be the answer for you. It may be better for you to seek advice from the moneyadviceservice.org.uk if you are having problems repaying your current credit.
Not all consumers are lucky enough to have a friend or family member who will stand guarantor for them and this itself can create a problem. Our solution will be to allow tenant guarantors in the near future, opening up a string of opportunities for people presently unable to provide a homeowner friend or family member to vouch for them during an application and access the credit and gain the ability to move forward.
So if you're looking for a loan for poor credit, then check out our personal loan calculator on our home page to see what your monthly payments would be. If you can afford them and your happy with the terms then apply today and you could have your money within 24 hours.
All credit is subject to meeting our credit worthiness and affordability criteria.

You're Right!
Major droughts reduce the adult numbers of fish and major floods limit reproductive success. Droughts reduce fish numbers by drying up portions of the stream, further, reducing an already limited food supply.
The park receives the highest sulfur and nitrogen deposits of any monitored national park. These pollutants fall to the ground not only as acid rain, but also as dry particles and cloud water. The average acidity (pH) of rainfall in the park is 4.5. That is 5-10 times more acidic than normal rainfall which is 5.0-5.6. Acidic clouds with a pH as low as 2.0 bathe the high elevation forests during part of the growing season.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park has more tree species than Northern Europe. Forest types can influence the water temperature, turbidity, and available cover within park streams.
Fisheries staff have been monitoring fish populations in both high elevation (>3,000 feet) brook trout streams and low elevation (<2,500 feet) large stream systems through the park since 1986. Long term monitoring surveys indicate that fishermen play little to no role in the population dynamics observed in park streams.

Inspired by that colorful BFL top from Spunky E, I decided to make a tweed from a variety of textures and colors that were, well, starting to accumulate on the oriental rug. After scooping up locks and bits of rovings and snippets of yarns, I started blending on the ol' Howard handcards. Realized halfway in to the project that the yarn was looking a lot like Artemis, aka Artie J Catt.
So, as she napped on the chest that I use as a spinning chair, I took a few pictures. Here she is saying…"Yarn, shmarn, that's not my idear of a t-t-t-treat, Mom. But, lookit! Lookit, Mom! Idn't this worth some fish paste?"
This is 2 oz and 106 yd of Yartie Yarn. It's a blend of Gulf Coast, Mohair, Alpaca, Corriedale, and Shetland. It's all either natural or naturally dyed…with the exception of a couple smidges of that turquoise blue BFL from the Spunky E top.

CEE Standard: Saving. Grade 4 Benchmark 5, Grade 12 Benchmark 1
I left home at 17 and paid my own way through college. It was scary, but my parents had hammered it into me from my preteen years that, "When you're 18, you leave the house and pay for your things."
In the last 20 years, aside from birthday gifts, I have only received a small inheritance of $8,000 from my mother. Everything else I have? I worked for it. So it shocks me when people around me, well into their 20s — or even early 30s — still get their lives sponsored by their parents. Sometimes it's just a phone bill "so that we're all on the family plan." Sometimes it's rent and an allowance "because there is no work for me."
What strikes me even more is that some of these parents are retired, and instead of enjoying their golden years, they are tight on cash and worrying all day about the future of their offspring.
When I talk to the parents, they argue that the job market is much harder these days because everyone has a college degree and is willing to work for $1,000. I strongly disagree with the idea that there are no jobs.
There are tons of tough, low-paying jobs that you may not be willing to take. There are alternative jobs, such as freelancing or consulting, that weren't that developed when our parents were our age. The world may have changed, but there are certainly ways to make a living on your own.
It is frustrating to study for five years and then be a bartender. But if that's what it takes, be the best bartender you can be, and maybe one day you will own your own bar.
Your parents are not your financial backup plan. As a matter of fact, I think parents should prioritize saving for their own retirement rather than paying for your college. After all, there are no scholarships for retirees. Besides, if you work hard enough, you can pay your own way through college.
There are many ways to finance your education, and as a last resort, you can still get a loan, while your parents won't be able to because they are too old for new lines of credit. And if your parents were nice enough to pay for your college degree, once you leave the house, you shouldn't burden them with your problems.
Don't get me wrong — I am all in favor of intergenerational transfer of wealth. But only when they are done intelligently, so as to preserve the family's estate.
I approach family money as my own money. What my mom has, she will pass on to my sister and me.
So it is my duty to help her grow her estate and enjoy a comfortable retirement, not to ask for money every chance I get. She is still "the bank of Mom," as I have often borrowed money from her, but only to invest and build my own little empire. It goes without saying that I repay every cent, with an interest that is beneficial for both: around four percent. Better than her savings account, but still lower than a bank loan.
I also encouraged her to pay down her mortgage early. That saved her a few thousand, and she has been talking to everyone who would listen about how happy she was to be mortgage-free. She worked hard to be comfortable in retirement, and it would never occur to me that I am entitled to anything she has worked for before she passes.
The only money conversation we have, aside from my investment requests, are about her estate planning. I try to help her make well-informed decisions so that the state doesn't keep 40 percent of what she worked so hard to save. If she wants to give it all to charity, wonderful.
I have already made up my own will and split half of my estate between my teenage brother and my niece, since my sister would have to pay taxes again before passing on any inheritance from me to my niece. I explained that to my mom and told her she should think about writing a will, as well.
Parents, the best gift you can give your kids is financial education. Kids, make your parents proud and be financially responsible adults. Let your parents spoil you when you go home, but don't guilt them into paying more than they already have for you.

Welcome to Generation Gap where we ask you about your favorite generation of a certain multi-generational car nameplate. Then, explain why your choice is right to the rest of us uneducated folks.
After looking at some amazing American machinery, let's take a look at some not so amazing American machinery. From defining the Malaise Era to representing the cost-cutting of pre-bankruptcy GM, nothing quite illustrates the pitfalls of America's biggest car company as well as the mighty Monte Carlo. That isn't to say the beast doesn't have its upsides too, though. In the end, which of its many generations was the best?
The options:
First Generation [1970 - 1972]
Second Generation [1973 - 1977] and facelift
Third Generation [1977 - 1980] and facelift
Fourth Generation [1981 - 1988] and facelift
Fifth Generation [1994 - 1999]
Sixth Generation [1999 - 2005]
Seventh Generation [2005 - 2007]

I help teams deliver original, adventurous and meaningful ideas. I have over ten years experience working with culture shaping brands, charities and valuable experience running my own business.
Secret 7" combines music and art for a good cause - in five years it has raised over £200,000 for charities including; Teenage Cancer Trust, Amnesty International, Mind and War Child. I developed the concept and continue to direct and deliver the project each year. Secret 7" has produced one-of-a-kind records by 42 incredible musicians; including John Lennon, The Rolling Stones, The Cure, Elton John, Black Sabbath & Public Enemy. Over 4,200 visual artists have contributed original artwork for their tracks; including Peter Blake, Ai Weiwei, Anish Kapoor, Antony Gormley, Yoko Ono, Paul Smith, Gilbert & George, Jake & Dino's Chapman and David Shrigley. Each year the 700 unique records that are exhibited have all sold out, with people queuing for over 52 hours to have first pick. In 2015 we exhibited at Somerset House for a month and attracted over 22,000 visitors. Alongside the exhibition I programme a series of events; including workshops, talks and enabling the public to record a their own performance live to vinyl. To support the growth of the project I have developed and managed well-aligned partnerships with Universal Music, Sony Music, Squarespace, Sonos, Monotype, Greenwich Peninsula and WeTransfer.
My role in the agency was to come up with new ideas and manage the creative direction. My time was largely spent working on a large Nike project directed at established musicians, in which I briefed a range of talent from architects to digital interaction designers.
I was positioned in the central digital team, reporting to the Director of Digital. My role was to use insights to develop and deliver propositions around key innovation areas for the company on a project basis. I worked with large digital services such as Google and YouTube, agencies like Made By Many and helped develop new propositions and content with LoveLive, David Lloyd and Classic FM.
I assisted all areas of the company by using consumer insight and trends to inform strategy and innovate. I worked on qualitative and quantitative research projects; regularly commissioning agencies to assist. One of the largest projects I managed was an online community who we regularly questioned and built our own demographics of music fans from. I developed and managed an initiative to run ideation sessions across the business around questions set by the Chairman.

Love Jacked reinforces social tropes we could live without
Starring Shamier Anderson. Rated PG
Director Alfons Adetuyi comes from a versatile and highly accomplished family of Canadian filmmakers. Cowritten by brother Robert Adetuyi, his second foray into scripted features feels more like an unnecessarily expensive calling card than a full-fledged romantic comedy. The '60s soul tunes on the soundtrack must have cost as much as Love Jacked's whole budget.
Having grown up rich in the fictional, Malibu-like town of South Bay, played by Ontario, spoiled Maya (Happy Together's Amber Stevens West) is around 30, but is in unusual thrall to her blustering father (U.S. TV veteran Keith David, hamming it up). He's against her going to South Africa on a spiritual quest, and even more apoplectic when her Cape Town stay results in an instant marriage proposal from a wealthy local player called Mtumbie (Demetrius Gross). When she catches the guy cheating, she's in a double bind—because proving Daddy wrong is more important than her own happiness.
Enter Malcolm (Wynonna Earp's Shamier Anderson), a genial hustler who hears her dilemma, and for some reason agrees to impersonate Mtumbie for her already wary family. Naturally enough, he shows up sporting a decidedly inappropriate dashiki and a one-size-fits-all accent—raising the suspicions of her Afrophile uncle (comic Mike Epps, of the Friday movies). He immediately wins over her live-in aunt and grandmother, played by real-life daughter-mother combo Angela and Marla Gibbs. (The latter, a stalwart of The Jeffersons, is now 87.)
A deal's a deal, though, and their brilliant plan is to get legally married and then claim that Mtumbie has died in a terrible accident. Because who would look closely at events like that? Happy now, Dad? Things get even thornier when Malcolm's erstwhile partner (The Book of Negroes' Lyriq Bent) shows up, with a gun, wanting a cut of whatever is going on.
Although the movie is set in a parallel universe filled with moneyed black folks, it reinforces social tropes we could easily live without. The young men here are dark-skinned demicriminals while the female lead is as fair as Meghan Markle. Maya's generic prettiness apparently trumps the fact that she has no interests, skills, or sense of humour—even apart from the fact that her ideas are batshit crazy. On the other hand, costar Anderson manages to maintain both dignity and a comic touch amid this mess, making him a talent to watch.

text: GaryS 5 Report post Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) Hi all, I'm having a problem with input events on my sprites. I have a grid of tiles, with an added child sprite. I've added an onInputDown event handler onto each tile. All works well, mostly... but then after a few clicks it seems that the sprite passed to my handler doesn't change - it remains the last sprite clicked. Here's some code: var pos = { x: 0, y: 0 }; var cols = 10; var rows = 10; var numberOfTiles = cols * rows; var tileWidth = 65; var tileHeight = 65; // Place tiles for (var i = 1; i <= numberOfTiles; i++) { var thisTile = this.game.add.sprite(pos.x, pos.y, 'tile', 1); var thisSprite = thisTile.addChild(this.game.make.sprite(0,0, 'tile', 4)); thisTile.inputEnabled = true; thisTile.events.onInputDown.add(this.onDown, this); pos.x += tileWidth; // New column if (i % cols === 0) { pos.y += tileHeight; pos.x = 0; } } This sets out the tiles with no problems. Frame 1 for my background and frame 4 for the foreground. In my onDown function I tween the child sprite down to scale: 0 and alpha: 0. I also do a bit of calculation to work out which tile is clicked. onDown: function(sprite) { var thisRow = (sprite.position.y / tileHeight); var thisCol = (sprite.position.x / tileWidth); var thisTile = ((thisRow * rows) + thisCol) + 1; this.game.add.tween(sprite.children[0].scale).to({ x: 0, y: 0}, 500, Phaser.Easing.Linear.None, true); this.game.add.tween(sprite.children[0]).to({alpha: 0}, 500, Phaser.Easing.Linear.None, true); } It seems this works a few times, but then seemingly at random the sprite being passed to the onDown function remains stuck regardless of which sprite I click. I can't be 100% sure, but I think this problem only occurs when I have a child sprite - does that sound right? I've no clue what's going on. Can anyone help?

Samsung Flip-Phone with High-End Specifications in the Works
For most of us, Flip-phones are a matter of past. But Samsung doesn't share a similar view on the once trendy form factor. The recent leaks suggest the company is reportedly working on a new flip-phone device with high-end specifications.
A set of leaked images has now been revealed, detailing the front and rear appearance of the device in its folded state. The front face features a 4.2-inch screen with Full HD resolution. Under the hood is a host of high-end specifications.
That includes a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor, 4GB RAM, and 64GB storage. The battery capacity is of 2300 mAh. The device will be featuring a 12MP primary cam sensor that will be accompanied on the rear face by a fingerprint sensor. On the front, it will be a 5MP sensor that will flare up the front-cam prowess.
The device, codenamed Sm-G9298, will be running Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS, which is a big downside considering the imminent entry of Android O. But the very fact of Marshmallow inclusion also reflects the target market where Samsung is intending to launch the device.
Samsung has already dropped a few flip-phones to its native market in South Korea and other Asian markets. It's most likely that they will be retaining the flip-phone form factor the same markets. An entry to the west seems to be off the view, but we still can expect a surprise. Given the high-end specifications, we cannot completely rule out a fondness for the device among users in US and UK.

On the 3rd of October 2016 I received an urgent call from one of my customers. They had started one of their computers in the office and this triggered what landed up being the "ODIN RANSOMEWARE Virus". It quickly spread to their Server infecting files on both computers. It appeared that a file called payment_receipt_contact_235142.zip contained a java script file (js) which contained the virus.
Read this article from Sophos ODIN Ransomeware Virus article
I immediately told them to disconnect their backup drive which was connected to the server in the hope that it had not yet spread to this device. Fortunately the drive was not infected. Very lucky!!
I determined once I was able to pickup the two infected computers, that the Antivirus that was "Running" on the first computer had been a trial version which had expired so was not updating itself.
Computer 1 had over 3000 infected files and the server had over 9000 files infected. Infected files were renamed filename.odin. Like the Viking God.
In addition when the computer started up, the following message was presented.
So, what had to happen from here.
The two infected computers did not have recovery disc's or any record of the windows software licenses. I did determine that there was, what is called a recovery Partition on the computers hard drive.
I triggered a rebuild of the computers using this recovery partition which resulted in windows being reloaded. (No windows 10 pro product key required)
All other software would now need to be reinstalled. Office, Adobe, Chrome, Firefox etc.
I downloaded and installed a 30 day trial copy of Trend Micro Maximum 10 antivirus which could be activated within 30 days. This protected the two newly rebuild computers until activation would happen. The Workstation (i3 CPU) took over 10 hours to perform the rebuild and the Server (i5) took closer to 4 hours.
I have recommend that multiple backups be implemented with there always being a current backup which is not connected to the system/network. This is what is called a "Air Bridge" to prevent it from getting infected.
I have also recommended having a Full Image taken of each computer in the office and stored on a separate drive (Ideally two drives) to cover for a system crash or a drive failure where you would lose the recovery partition also. Easier to recover from this image.
It might be strange to say this, but it would have been so much worse.
- No backup or infected backup.
- Corrupted recovery partition or recovery partition.
- More computers could have been infected in the office if not detected as soon as it was. Other machines were turned off so not impacted.

The latest craze online is known as social networking, which combined with another new term "citizen journalism" (aka, blogs or user-generated content, including the use of video and audio), makes up what O'Reilly Media in 2004 and now countless geeks have dubbed Web 2.0, a collaborative and sharing environment on Web sites.
Social networking quickly became a kind of 21st century shopping mall, a place for youth to "hang out" and meet others. High school and college kids—basically anyone who can't legally get into a bar—led the charge on social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace, owned by NewsCorp and the deep pockets of media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
Both Facebook and MySpace allow users to register and create personalized Web pages that tout their interests, life experiences and often their education level, sexual orientation and religion while spilling their guts about peers, parents or siblings. Just a few weeks ago, I passed a college student proudly wearing a T-shirt that bragged she met her boyfriend on MySpace, maybe signaling an end to matches "made in heaven."
As Wall Street began to pay attention to social networking, it didn't take long for business-to-business Web firms serving industries of all sizes to introduce destinations like LinkedIn, created in an attempt to get a piece of some $300 million to $900 million in advertising on these sites, which according to eMarketer will grow to $2.5 billion by 2011. Similar reports suggest that MySpace and Facebook take almost 75% of what's being spent right now by advertisers, so it's no wonder everyone is trying to get in on the action.

Courage and the Student Advocate--Concluding Thoughts from NITA
Those words are from one of my summer term trial advocacy students. We held final trials today in our class. When we started the class seven weeks ago, I could see the fear, anxiety and self-consciousness manifested in this student's body language, voice, and eyes. He was miserable, but he was also determined to become better. Through seven weeks of class, he came to every session, knowing that despite his best efforts, I would find something in his performance to critique. He absorbed the lessons, applied them, and transformed himself into a competent, confident advocate.
When we spoke after class, I remembered taking a criminal trial practice class in law school. Short of self-confidence, I never once volunteered to perform in class. In fact, I spent most of each session hoping I would not be called on. I feared embarrassment and failure. I had no desire for someone else to point out and correct my mistakes--at least not in front of anyone else. Consequently, I did not experience the growth that would have been mine if only I'd had the courage to try.
Professor Jamie Carey of Loyola Law School spoke this week to the students at the NITA Public Service Attorney Trial Skills Course. He discussed courage and told the class that they could not give effective closing arguments without it.
I agree with him, and I would extend his observation still further. It takes courage to be a student advocate. I witnessed such courage many times this week during the Public Service Attorney course. Even experienced advocates who had been to court many times displayed anxiety and nervousness as they stepped up to perform, knowing they would be critiqued in front of their peers.
The overwhelming majority rose to the challenge, set aside their fears, and gave their best efforts. By the end of the week, many of them were transformed as advocates. Attorneys who had hidden behind podiums, looked down at their legal pads, and mumbled now stood confidently in the well of the courtroom, made eye contact with their peers, and projected their voices. They learned that they were better than they had feared. Some of them were better than they ever hoped or dreamed they could be.
It is humbling to watch students embark on these voyages of self-improvement. Their courage inspires me and makes me want to try harder, stretch myself, and take more risks so I can improve as a teacher and be worthy of their efforts.
1 comment:
I have to second the comments of Jamie and Chris. There is a very interesting thing that happens when you teach skills - at some point in the development of the student the teaching becomes internal. What do I mean by that? Well we either wind up helping the student deal with a facet of their personality or sense of self that is impacting the student's ability to perform or we wind up introspectively considering our own sense of self. I think Chris is doing that here and I believe that this time, as every time we as professors find ourselves called to be better than we currently are, it is time well spent.ReplyDelete

Under market integration, 22 countries out of 28 have now signed the TFTA Agreement, while eight have signed and ratified.
Namibia is the latest to ratify the TFTA agreement. Seven countries are expected to complete the ratification process before the end of this year paving the way for its implementation.
Namibia is committed to implementing the European Union's Economic Partnership Agreement, and to launch the plan this year, National Assembly speaker revealed.
The SACUM-UK EPA effectively retains the terms of trade present in the existing SADC-EU EPA.
Namibia has become the eighth country to ratify the Tripartite Free Trade Area. Six more countries are required for the agreement to enter into force.
Cabinet in Zimbabwe has approved the ratification of the COMESA-EAC-SADC Tripartite Free Trade Area (TFTA).
EAC's increased exports to SADC excluding Tanzania was as a result of the increased benefits arising from the membership to the EAC-COMESA-SADC Tripartite.
The TFTA will also be a building bloc for the African Continental Free Trade Area, COMESA official said.
Members of the Lower House approved the agreement establishing a Tripartite Free Trade Area among the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa, the East African Community, and the Southern African Development Community.
The African Continental Free Trade Area (ACFTA) will be launched on 7 July 2019 in Niamey, Niger, by the Heads of State and Government at an extraordinary summit of the African Union.
The deadline set by the Tripartite Council of Ministers for member States of three regional economic blocs to sign and ratify the tripartite free trade area lapses this month.
Substantial progress has made to conclude a Roll-Over Economic Partnership Agreement between SACU, Mozambique and the UK.
The SA government has been working in the background to ensure that trade arrangements with the UK and EU are uninterrupted while the UK exits from the EU.
Update on the negotiations of a rollover Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between the Southern African Customs Union (SACU) and Mozambique and the United Kingdom (UK)To avoid trade disruption, SACU+Mozambique and UK have decided to roll-over the EPA into a standalone trade agreement with the UK.
South Africa deposits the instrument of ratification of the agreement establishing the Tripartite Free Trade Area (TFTA)The deposit of the instrument means that South Africa has formally and legally committed to the TFTA.
Namibia's Presidential Advisor for Private Sector said that Namibia is at an advanced stage of finalising the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) implementation plan and has begun implementing the plan's crucial aspects.
South Africa has ratified the Tripartite Free Trade Agreement, becoming the fourth country to do so after Egypt, Uganda and Kenya. 10 more ratifications are now needed for the Agreement to enter into force.
The slow pace at which member states of the Tripartite Free Trade Area Agreement (TFTA) are committing to the bloc, has derailed the enforcement of the treaty and trade in one of Africa's largest economic zones.
South African Customs Union, EU start talks on new economic partnership agreement with post-Brexit BritainThe Southern African Customs Union, Mozambique and the European Union have started talks to conclude a new economic partnership agreement with post-Brexit Britain.
The TFTA seeks to establish an enlarged market involving 27 member countries from the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa, the East African Community and Southern African Development Community.

"…the tears froze to their reddened cheeks."
Indeed, Calum's mental interpretation of his father's grief as a child unveils the poignant sorrow often associated with loss in MacLeod's text. Inspired by a historical context of decaying Cape Breton traditions, Alistair MacLeod's elegiac anthology of short stories Island provides readers with a perception of the heartbreak that is an impact of death and the passing of traditions. MacLeod's oeuvre encourages readers to consider the bitterness of the fragmentation of families and loss of traditional lifestyles. The ramifications of loss, moreover, extend to a belated appreciation of sacrifice for MacLeod's Cape Breton peoples. MacLeod also facilitates an understanding of the overwhelming bereavement that is an impact of death.
MacLeod delineates to readers the bitter resentment that is a corollary of the loss of traditions. In "The Boat", MacLeod orchestrates antithesis of the mother "looking upon the sea with love and [her son] with bitterness" to highlight the antipathy that is a repercussion of a loss of family unity. Indeed, the narrator's reflection of how his mother "of all the Lynns has neither son nor son-in-law who will go to the boat" seeks to evoke in readers memories of isolated family and friends, or even constitutes a poignant reminder of their own isolation. Such notions are echoed in MacLeod's use of biting language in the grandmother's dialogue in "The Return," where she berates Angus and his brother as "lost to us the both of you…more lost than Andrew…who is buried under the sea." MacLeod interweaves this language with the grandfather's criticism of "being owned by [Angus'] woman's family" to provide readers with an understanding of the older generation's bitterness towards a younger generation that espouses individualism. MacLeod's narratives therefore facilitate insight into the acrimony associated with dispersal and individualism.
Additionally, MacLeod unveils the belated, irremediable guilt for those who are forever lost performing the ultimate self-sacrifice of death. Through the anaphora of "it is not an easy thing to know…nor is it easy to know that your father was found…" in "The Boat", MacLeod underscores the guilt felt by those who benefit from the unfortunate deaths of others.(See note 1) Just as his narrator ruminates on such past sacrifice when "teaching at a great midwestern university," MacLeod leads readers who have left family and home to ponder upon and begin to grasp the sacrifices that enabled them to do so. Such a purpose is reflected in "The Tuning of Perfection," where MacLeod presents Archibald's "numbness" at the death of his brother, who "fought the drifts" to "bear him the news every one else on the mountain already knew." The symbol of Archibald's numbness represents the debilitating mixture of grief, love and guilt that overcomes those attempting to fathom deaths. MacLeod consequently guides readers to a comprehension of the guilt associated with life lost out of self-sacrifice.
MacLeod's narratives also reveal the bereavement intertwined in death and coming-of-age, the bereavement immanent in universal human narratives of lifelong change. MacLeod's use of metaphor in "To Every Thing There Is a Season," where his narrator is "jabbed by his own small wound" at "being on the adult side of the world," delineates the acute personal bereavement of a loss of innocence. MacLeod hence prompts readers to attempt to comprehend, and reflect upon, the pain they felt at times of final separation from the people or lifestyles they cherish. Moreover, the poignant language of how Archibald "thought he might cry" as he thought of his "pale unbreathing son" is employed by MacLeod to create an understanding of the overwhelming sorrow of loss. Furthermore, in "The Closing Down of Summer", MacLeod endows narratives of death with an almost saga-like quality, as the grief of the "midnight phone call" modulates and fades "like the ballads…of the distant lonely past" into something "more bitter or more serene". In this way, MacLeod's narratives encourage readers to develop a perception of the complex bereavement that is an impact of death.
Ultimately, MacLeod's polyphonic oeuvre traverses the bitterness and grief that are repercussions of the loss of lifestyle and death. Readers are hence left with an indelible and confronting understanding of the inevitability of sorrow in death. Indeed, in the words of the grandfather in "The Vastness of the Dark," memories of loss are recollections that "will wake you up at night and never leave you alone"

Advice On Hotels That All Travelers Should Have In Their Arsenal
Getting a vacation planned will be quite a bit of work. You have to worry about choosing a locale, finding transportation and booking a good hotel. A poorly planned vacation can be disastrous. Read this article and you'll get information on getting your hotel correctly.
Find great hotel room prices by checking out travel websites like Orbitz and Expedia. If you are a member of a hotel loyalty program, make sure to indicate this when searching for rates. You may also be eligible for other discounts through any memberships you have with organizations such as AAA and AARP.
When booking a hotel, you need to establish what you need and what you would ideally like from your stay. Of course you want to consider price, but you should also consider the hotel's location. A pool, a gym, a restaurant, free breakfast, free local calls and free Wi-Fi are other amenities that may be important to you. Ensure the hotel you are planning on staying at has the amenities you desire.
Take advantage of tools provided online when searching for a hotel. They allow you to quickly locate great discounts. They can tell you what the average rate at a hotel is, ensuring you know the general pricing. Also, hotel search websites can assist you in determining where to vacation and what to do there.
Although many hotels have certain rooms that allow pets, never assume your hotel will without researching ahead of time. Call before you book so that you know for sure. Also, find out if there are any size or breed restrictions.
Be sure and take care of three important things before bringing a pet on your trip to any hotel. Find out if the hotel you have selected is pet-friendly. Additionally, bring along a few plastic bags suitable for cleaning up after your animal. When you call to make reservations, try getting a room away from other guests so any noise your pet makes won't bother people.
Are you a AAA member? If so, hotels may provide you a discount. You could also get a surprise that you have an auto club membership that gives you hotel discounts. There are discounts at hotels around the country of 5 percent or more. This can add up in time!
If you are an avid jogger, a GPS watch is a great investment so you can always find your way back to your hotel. Also, don't forget your exercise clothes! You can still enjoy your early morning jog while on vacation if you have your gear and the right room booked. Even if you're running down the city streets of roads, it will give you a new perspective of the city that you're visiting.
Don't ruin your vacation by choosing the wrong hotel. Research before you book and plan well. The more educated you are about finding and reserving great accommodations, the more options you will find. You should be able to enjoy every aspect of your vacation, including your hotel. Keep all of this information in mind while planning your next trip.

"But I'm ten, but I'm five and soon they will Say but I'm two. All my friends have one! Please, please, come on mum, can I have one?"
How many of you have heard this argument before? Are you struggling to say NO? Are your kids mature enough? Then, remember that you're the parent and they're still the kid.
So weigh up the Pros and Cons before heading to the mall and try to consider the benefits and challenges that could go with it. It will probably be used for communication and entertainment. But if utilized properly, smart phones can be used to acquire , share new knowledge and socialize with people. This would benefit all us parents .
Some experts say , that you should wait till preschool age . As posed by Dr. Carolyn Jaynes, a designer from Leapfrog Enterprises. "Children under two years of age learn best from real-world experiences and interactions, and each minute spent in front of a screen-based device is a minute when your child is not exploring the world and using their senses, which is extremely important in their development process…"
So what's too young? Well , I think two is young. I personally believe that at this stage, they'll be missing too much of nature's gift if they're allowed to play with smartphones or tablets. Why not go to parks instead, or your backyard and let them explore and play with other kids. We're all busy with work but I guess spending at least 30 minutes per day outside won't hurt. On weekends try going on picnics, let them experience playgrounds and parks, see gardens and zoos, visit aquatic centres or even museums and let them have a real world interaction. Teach them to appreciate nature's unique beauty and play real games.
To experience nature and human interaction first hand will help develop their curiosity so when it's time to go online for the first time they have loads of stuff to investigate further.
Some say that 16 is the best age since that's the same age kids are allowed to drive. It's when you could entrust them with something that would give them access to the outside world. But in today's world, sixteen seems so old for a five or even a ten year old. They are more than likely experiencing so many forms of technology even before they start their schools years. Most of us now have our own smart phones and tablets and computers have been in the home for years. So their nature curiosity means they probably understand what all this technology does and probably understand how to connect to the Internet long before their school days even start. The Internet offers so many interesting and wonderful things and being able to access all this amazing information in the palm of our hand is really mind blowing.
These suggestions are not applicable to all, but keep this proverb in mind 'Train up a child in the way he or she should go: and when he or she is old, he or she will not depart from it.' It's really up to you to decide but decide when it's time to go online wisely!
