TUESDAY, February 12
Refugee Hakeem al-Araibi is on his way home to Australia after Bahrain dropped extradition proceedings against him and he was released from a Thai prison late last night.
Mr al-Araibi boarded a Thai Airways flight just after midnight local time and is expected to arrive in Melbourne this afternoon.
A big crowd of supporters will be at the airport to welcome him home, including the Pascoe Vale Football Club, and former Socceroos captain Craig Foster.
Thai prosecutors on Monday submitted a court request to withdraw the case to extradite Mr al-Araibi to Bahrain, where he faces a 10-year prison sentence for an alleged arson attack that damaged a police station. He has denied those charges and said the case was politically motivated.
It is believed Bahrain agreed to drop extradition proceedings against him after talks between Bahrain's Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa and the Thai Foreign Minister over the weekend.
Officials in Bahrain said the country, "reaffirms its right to pursue all necessary legal actions against" Mr al-Araibi.
"[The] guilty verdict against Mr al-Araibi remains in place and Mr al-Araibi holds the right to appeal this court verdict" in Bahrain's Court of Appeals, Bahrain's Foreign Ministry said in a statement after his release.
Former Australian Treasurer, Peter Costello, once urged Australia to have a baby for mum, one for dad and one for the country.
And now the Hungarian Prime Minister had trumped him with a plan to dramatically increase financial aid and subsidies for families with several children.
During a "state of the nation" speech, Viktor Orban said the move was aimed at reversing the country's population decline without softening its "zero tolerance" policy on immigration.
The new benefits include:
- a lifetime personal income tax exemption for women who give birth and raise at least four children;
- a subsidy of 2.5 million forints ($US8,825) toward the purchase a seven-seat vehicle for families with three or more children; and
- a low-interest loan of 10 million forints ($35,300) for women under the age of 40 who are marrying for the first time.
Mr Orban, who has made "zero tolerance" for immigration his main theme in the past four years and was elected to a third consecutive term in April, said the initiative was meant to "ensure the survival of the Hungarian nation."
"This is the Hungarians' answer, not immigration," Mr Orban said.
Mr Orban then turned his attention to May's European Parliament elections, repeating his accusation that the leadership of the European Union wants to fill the continent with migrants, most of them Muslim.
"We have to understand that the European peoples have come to a historical crossroads," Mr Orban said.
"Those who decide in favour of immigration and migrants, no matter why they do so, are in fact creating a country with a mixed population.
"Europe's left wing has become the gravedigger of nations, the family and the Christian way of life."
Fast bowler Pat Cummins has capped the finest year of his career by winning the Allan Border Medal, edging out Nathan Lyon to be named Australia's leading men's cricketer.
The star paceman polled 156 votes to surpass Test player of the year Lyon (150) and limited-overs skipper Aaron Finch (146) in Monday night's count.
Alyssa Healy comfortably won the Belinda Clark Award as Australia's top women's cricketer ahead of Megan Schutt and Ashleigh Gardiner.
Allrounder Marcus Stoinis was named men's ODI player of the year and Glenn Maxwell won the T20 international award.
Both major awards went to first-time winners, with Steve Smith and David Warner ineligible after a four-year Border Medal stranglehold.
"I've obviously had quite a few tough years with injury. I always thought Test cricket was the dream but wasn't sure I'd get up there and forge a consistent career," he said.
"Going into last summer and the Ashes, five Tests — I'd never done anything like it before so, to get through that, I just had a heap of confidence in my body.
"To do it now, two years in a row, it's been great. I feel like every time I bowl, my rhythm just feels a little bit better."
Monday's count was closely contested, with offspinner Lyon polling top votes in Tests in Adelaide, Perth and Abu Dhabi.
Cummins' status as a ODI regular gave him the edge over Lyon, who did not poll in either white-ball format.

ALast Exit was preceded by two 12" releases that were strategically placed in the hands of critics/bloggers who were likely to be open to Junior Boys' sound — a mishmash incorporating parts from numerous styles and countless artists while being evasive enough to prevent dismissive accusations of plagiarism. The slippery tendencies left the releases open to several elaborate rounds of "spot the influence" on the part of the writers, all of whom were successful to some extent. Call the group bedroom dance-pop, a boy band conceived by The Wire, sophisti-pop as produced by Germany's Timbaland analogue — whatever. The group's ability to synthesize so many elements with such subtlety really isn't their greatest asset; it's that their music can be enjoyed with or without all of the analysis and context, whether you're tucked inside a snowbound outpost or winding your way through some vast metropolis during nighttime. Several Last Exit highlights come from the teaser releases. "High Come Down," "Birthday," and "Last Exit" run on sparse skitter-beats, elliptical keyboard prickles, and endearingly vulnerable vocals, and they're all coated in a compound of arctic frost and stardust. "Under the Sun," however, is a guitar-driven detour into shadowy atmospherics, trailed shortly thereafter by new song "Teach Me How to Fight" - the group at their prettiest and most touching thus far. The difference between the two songs illustrates the group's second greatest asset - their ability to be alluringly aloof, only to bring you to your knees with something wholly heartrending. If you like your pop a little left of center and found the Postal Service to be too cute and syrupy, your fix is here. And, just as a point of order, Junior Boys' use of synthesizers and drum machines — unlike a lot of groups and producers these days — is a lot more contemporary than past-obsessed.

Clearly, it was the good kind. Sometimes the bounces go your way, the shots on your end are falling at a more generous rate, passes find seams and even the pregame spread far outshines whatever was served in the other locker room.
Friday night was one of those nights for the Texas Legends (16-11). After a close first quarter, Texas blew the game open and wound up scoring a season-high 146 points, topping their previous high of 129 (recorded on Nov. 18th and Dec. 21st). Somebody had to be the victim, and it was the Grand Rapids Drive (14-16), G League affiliate of the Detroit Pistons, who mustered a comparatively bleak 114 points and fell on the road.
The Legends matched their season-high point total by extending their record to five games over .500 and their win streak to four, both top marks on the 2017-2018 season. During the streak, Bob MacKinnon's team is surrendering just 107 points per game. While that may sound like a handful, remember the pace G League games are played at. More than half the league averages more than 107 a night.
"Guys have really bought into our defensive concepts," MacKinnon said after the convincing win. "They're playing with a lot of energy and they like playing with each other. We're getting more familiar with each other. Our bigs, between Johnathan Motley, Jameel Warney and Brandon Ashley, are doing a tremendous job of getting us into our coverages and that's allowing our perimeter players to really go out and put pressure on the ball outside the three-point line. I think it's made a big difference."
Those three bigs have been unguardable of late and that didn't change in Frisco on Friday. Motley scored 26 points and grabbed eight rebounds, Warney scored 23 with three steals and Ashley hit the glass for seven boards while recording a trio of blocks and steals. He has three blocks in each of the last two games and for Motley, his rebounds per game average has leaped above 11, now at 11.4 and second in the league.
From bigs to guards, Donald Sloan broke out of his own personal slump in a big, big way. Putting his injury troubles behind him, Sloan led all scorers with 34 points, his highest total of the season, and also passed out a season-nigh nine assists. When healthy, there's no doubting the NBA capability of the former Brooklyn Nets, Indiana Pacers and Atlanta Hawks point guard.
With Justin Dentmon still sidelined, Wade Baldwin IV picked up the slack by utilizing the free throw line. After eight makes from there Tuesday, "Ivy" made 10 of 12 attempts, the second time he's hit double digits from the line this season. Bryson Fonville chipped in seven points and a pair of assists in 20 minutes off the bench.
Though the point guard unit always seems to be missing a piece, MacKinnon knows he can trust any of the four at all times.
"Whoever it is, (they're) just making good decisions. I think it's telling that we lead the league in the fewest amount of turnovers per game (14.7) and also in pace (95.7 shots per game). Those two things usually don't go together. It just shows you the quality of players we have at those positions."
Baldwin, Sloan and Fonville also aided their big men with 14 rebounds, six, five and three respectively.
Off the bench, the red hot J.J. Avila set a new season high (seems to be a common theme around the clubhouse lately) at 17 points and did it in 18 minutes. He converted on 6-of-8 shots, 3-of-5 three's and like most players in Friday's game, gave the Legends a sizable advantage during his minutes.
The Legends won their seventh home game of the year out of 11 and are only halfway through their season-long five game home stand. A lot of things are going right at the moment and the results see Texas making the most of some home games and climbing the standings.
Is this the best basketball the team has played to date?
"Yeah, I think we're playing well," MacKinnon agrees and chuckles. "It's nice to come home after the game and not have to pack. We started out the year, our first 25 games, we were away for 17. I thought we did a tremendous job coming out of that above .500."
With extended run in the big win, Prince Williams, too, posted a season-best point total of six. Anthony Walker had four, his second-highest output of the year.
There's no doubting how well the Legends are playing right now. And even then, the team is still without the injured Dentmon and currently recalled Jalen Jones. Additionally, they have been missing Keith Hornsby since early December. The sky's the limit for MacKinnon's club, but he's perfectly happy watching the sunrise.
"Well, we're just taking it day by day. We don't look at ceilings or anything else like that. All we do is look at the next game and go from there because everything in our league changes. An old saying in our league is 'if you don't like your situation just wait a week, it's going to change.' Last year we had 25 guys suit up for us and we're already at 19 this year. Things change in our league so all we do is worry about the very next thing that's on our plate."
Next up is a big one, to say the least. The Legends welcome to town the rival Rio Grande Valley Vipers. The Vipers, affiliate of the like minded Houston Rockets, are the only team in the G League that outscores the Legends and at 18-11, hold a one game lead in the Southwest Division. This sets up a Texas-sized showdown for first place and it arrives Saturday at 7:30 PM.

Estimating Rehab Costs
Before you buy that investment house to wholesale or rehab you need to be able to have a pretty good estimate of what the repairs will cost. Remember the offer price is the After Repair Value (ARV) minus repairs and other holding costs minus your desired profit.
Most experienced investors can do this as they walk through a house, this speeds up their ability to arrive at an offer price and secure the contract. The experienced investor has done it often enough to know what a new kitchen, painting, carpeting, windows, new bathrooms, etc. will cost. A lot of new investors are really confused about how to estimate repairs and rightfully so. It can be intimidating.
There are online tools to estimate repairs, however, beware that if the tool doesn't ask for your zip code or at least area of the country, you need to use a different tool. After all repair costs in a major metropolitan area such as Washington DC or San Francisco can be very different from say rural areas where the cost of living is lower.
When I go to the house to meet with the owner I like to have a clip board and paper with me. An electronic clip board like an iPad will work too but I like the old school pad of paper, it is faster and as you go and are flipping through sheets of paper while writing stuff down the owner may better understand the amount of work his/her house needs without you saying negative things. Write down all the things that need to be done room by room. Remember the exterior of the house, especially the roof because that is a big ticket item.
If the house is rural remember to ask if it has a septic tank and/or well. Ask if there are any known issues and the last time these were inspected as these are big ticket items too. You want to have them both inspected prior to final purchase. You don't have to have them inspected prior to making your offer, just make the offer contingent upon an acceptable inspection.
I have a friend who is new to the business that takes a contractor with him every time he looks at a property. This is a good option for the new investor, however, you need to remember that if the property isn't under contract to you by the time you leave the property, the contractor may go back and put it under contract for themselves. Also respect the contractor's time. They are in business to make a living not just to give bids so eventually you need to give them some work.
I know investors who make offers on homes all over the country. They either get them so cheap that the cost of repairs won't kill all their profit or they make offers based on what the owner tells them about a property with a contingency that the information provided is correct. Once the owner accepts the price and the house is under contract then these investors have contractor's go in and provide their opinions and prices. If there is a significant deviation from what the home owner said, the investor will renegotiate the contract price.
If your buying a property from a bank they probably don't know any of the history or issues with the property. In these cases you can often hire a local person to go and inspect the home and provide you a report.
Here's a tidbit for you to consider: When talking to the owner about an older home, more than 20 years old, and they say everything is in great condition ask them when the last time the kitchen was remodeled. If it has never been remodeled it may be in great shape but it also may need to be remodeled.
You can also use a local Home Depot or Lowe's store to get ballpark estimates. Both of these stores offer installation services for most of the things they sell. If you have a rough idea of the actual measurements they should be able to provide you with ball park estimates for most major things.
As you get estimates from contractors ask them to break them down, how much will the painting cost, the refinishing of the floors, the kitchen cabinets, etc. As you do this, if you are working in the same area over and over again, your ability to estimate repair costs will get better and better. This will allow you to make your offers quicker and get the contract signed.
I like to create a written document that has everything I want done to the property in it and hand that to contractors for them to use to bid on. I provide them specific instructions on how I would like the bid returned. For instance I like to get the bid broken out by job components such as floor refinishing, painting, cabinets, etc. I also suggest being specific about colors of paint to use, cabinets to be installed, etc. This puts me in a better position to be comparing similar bids and helps avoid any misunderstanding about expectations for the expected work. If I am going to use different contractors for different aspects of the rehab then I just provide them a list for their part of the rehab.
I also ask the contractors to point out to me any items they think need repair that I may have missed. After all they have done more properties than I have so their experience can be very beneficial.
I always try to get a minimum of 3 bids for any work I want performed. I don't always select the lowest bid. I have had bids come in so low that I knew the contractor would not be able to perform at that bid. Why would I want to do business with a person who may not be there to finish the job? I usually select the contractor who was easiest to work with and communicate with, has good references, followed my instructions on bidding, and has a reasonable price.
Please note: This article provides a starting point for estimating repair costs and I hope it has provided you with some good ideas. There are whole courses written on this subject. Also, remember that even the best of estimates can be impacted by things you can't see when first looking at a property. For instance, you find termite damage, pipes in the walls that need to be replaced, electrical wiring that needs to be replaced, missed a county/city code that needs to be complied with, etc. These are risks, don't let them stop you, the rewards can still be worth it!

East coast visitor My Field Marshal has taken out another sensational edition of the Retravision-Fremantle Cup (2536m) at Gloucester Park last night.
The reigning Miracle Mile winner had to survive a number of challenges from some of the Greg and Skye Bond-trained runners throughout the Group 1 event, but was able to fight all of them off.
Reinsman Anthony Butt was able to cross Saying Grace from barrier two and find the lead with ease and control the race from there.
The first of the Bond runners to make an aggressive move was Vampiro, with reinsman Colin Brown finding the breeze at the end of the first lap.
Dylan Egerton-Green then made a move to the breeze with Our Max Phactor and continued to put the pressure on the short-price favourite.
The leading chance from the Bond stable Galactic Star then made a three-wide move approaching the bell for reinsman Ryan Warwick and looked to be travelling strongly.
My Field Marshal was able to hold off Galactic Star in the closing stages though and win by a metre to Galactic Star, while Vultan Tin was third.
Saying Grace finished fourth, but appeared to have little luck in the home straight.
El Jacko's reinsman Nathan Turvey was suspended for 23 days for his drive in the $300,000 event.
My Field Marshal 1.55.6 for the feature event and ran home in 58.0.
The seven-year-old will now look to complete a clean sweep of the WA feature events when he lines up in next week's $450,000 TABtouch-WA Pacing Cup (2936m).
He also took out the Village Kid Pace a fortnight ago.
Elsewhere on the night, Im Full Of Excuses took out the Listed Free-For-All event, producing a tough performance when three-wide for much of the last lap.
Reinsman Gary Hall Jnr recorded a winning double with Bronze Seeker and impressive three-year-old Dracarys.

The price of Côtes-de-Provence rosé is experiencing an unprecedented surge. "The campaign started on a high note at the beginning of November at €350 /hl", announced Jean-Pierre Tissot, a broker in the Var area. "This is an increase of almost 30% on last year. A large part of the trade was out of stock and needed to replenish inventories to supply its export markets where demand is still as strong as ever". Tissot said that 80% of volumes could come under contract before Christmas. The first boats for the United States, the leading market for Côtes-de-Provence rosé exports, are loaded between December 10 and 15.
"All our wines are reserved and our customers who sell in export markets have already started to load wines", said Gérard Monges, director of the Lou Bassaquet co-operative winery in Trets, which markets 85% of its wines (34,000 hl in 2018) in bulk. "We were allowed to produce 5 hl/ha more than last year, but we only harvested 1,000 hl more than in 2017 because we were hit by hail and mildew".
"The season has all the ingredients for an increase in the price of the appellation's wines: low inventories and a mixed harvest", commented Philippe Brel, director of Estandon Vignerons. "However, the scale of the upsurge has surprised everyone! At this price level, we will find it difficult to support our product listings in export markets and even less so in the French market, where we have already reduced promotions significantly this year".

Has our modern-day society made "witchcraft" mainstream? A recent BuzzFeed News article titled "How Witchcraft Became a Brand" certainly seems to suggest so.
A simple internet search for the meaning of witchcraft summons a Merriam-Webster definition. Witchcraft is "the use of sorcery or magic" — or "communication with the devil or with a familiar."
[lz_ndn video=32734860]
MORE NEWS: Former Navy SEAL running for GOP congressional seat saves life of woman at birthday bash
The hoopla at Halloween time — with witches' hats, broomsticks and more — may appear innocent enough, but as children grow up surrounded by witchcraft-branded items, Christians (and all people of faith) should be wary about accepting the status quo on this.
"Belief in magic and witchcraft is old, far older than Christianity or any of the Abrahamic religions; it wasn't summoned into being by trend forecasters, and it won't die out when the hype is over," argued Corin Faife in the BuzzFeed piece. "So what does it mean in this cultural moment for witchcraft to be both a spiritual practice and a brand aesthetic?"
[lz_third_party includes=https://twitter.com/corintxt/status/890584039282933763]
Faife went on to detail the popularity of witchcraft:
The range of products now marketed as having some connection to witchcraft and the occult is truly vast, and while physical stores selling occult items have had a modest presence in small towns and big cities across North America for decades, online retail has really allowed the trade in all things witchy to take off.
However, the insidious nature of the occult today goes beyond mere dress-up.

"It's now possible to sign up for monthly subscription boxes [to get] spiritual items [delivered] to your door: The owner of one such business, Goddess Provisions, said her customer base has grown from 300 subscribers to almost 6,000 in the last year and a half," Faife wrote.
For $39, a box "fit for a goddess" contains four to fix "beautiful tools for nourishing your divine feminine and growing your spiritual practice," according to the company.
What do self-professing witches have to say? Here's one comment: "I realized that a lot of people who are deeper into witchcraft than [I am] first got into it through pop culture references — that's more accepted in the community than I first thought," said Elisabeth Krohn, founder and editor-in-chief of Sabat magazine, a magazine for modern witches, to BuzzFeed.
Krohn claimed witchcraft is a "really great way to engage with spirituality." The use of such casual language about witchcraft is itself one of the dangers.
"We live in this world where we're moving away from traditional religion," Krohn also told VICE News last year. "I think there's a hole where maybe you want to fill your life with some kind of ritual or spirituality that doesn't really exist in young people's lives anymore. Witchcraft is … something that you very much define yourself [by], it's very individual."
Related: Pop Singer and American Witches Want to Hex the President
Yet while trying to market themselves as "new age," those who practice witchcraft know it is actually an ancient custom. And many who see witchcraft as a way to "engage in spirituality" don't acknowledge they are welcoming evil into their hearts.
The lack of a clear belief today in good versus evil is part of the problem.
Related: Millennials' Scary Faith in Harry Potter
"When someone tells you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living?" says Isaiah 8:19, warning against such practices.
And as the Apostle Paul advises in the New Testament, "Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them," he writes in Ephesians 5:11.

"Manage energy, not time"--a simple principle, but one with far-reaching effects. I highly recommend this book.
As Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz demonstrate in their groundbreaking New York Times bestseller, managing energy, not time, is the key to enduring high performance as well as to health, happiness, and life balance. Their Full Engagement Training System is grounded in twenty-five years of working with great athletes — tennis champ Monica Seles and speed-skating gold medalist Dan Jansen, to name just two — to help them perform more effectively under brutal competitive pressures.

How heavy are my hair toys?
Not all hair toys in picture!
I have a bunch of sticks I never use and I didn't bother to weigh those.
Hm. I should throw those out. All they do is take up space and help unbalance the stick-jar.
In comparison, what is the approx weight of your hair?ReplyDelete
I know I weighed it once and found the weight pretty unimpressive. Unfortunately I can't find a blog entry about it, so I don't know if my memory serves me well, but I think somewhere between 200-220 gram? Since it was right before I met my hubby, my hair was around mid thigh-ish, so maybe I'm "up" to 250? I should weight it for sure :)Delete
Well based on that, its easy to see that 20 or 30 grams is not much of an addition, but 90 could be especially if it is at the rearmost part of the hair where it would exert most leverage on your neck.Delete
What a lovely assortment of beauties! :)ReplyDelete
I second Indi500fan's motion, would be curious to compare your beauties' weight with that of your mane.
Amazed on how lightweight your forks are! Thinking of Grahtoe's and how you have to distribute the overall bun+hair weight on top not to have a headache...

World of Warcraft or often called WoW by most, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game or MMORPG) by Blizzard Entertainment. It has been massively successful and has exceeded the normal popularity of a role-playing title. The main reason for this is that it is very accessible and straightforward, and it is not difficult to play it. Even if you are completely new to gaming you shouldn't have any problems getting started.
World of Warcraft is an enormously popular game that has experienced success beyond what anyone might have expected.
It has become a mainstream triumph and has widened the audience for its genre and for gaming in general. It has also had an effect on the game industry, and in many ways is a surprising and remarkable title. WoW perfects all the basics: create a character, enter a beautifully detailed fantasy world with unbelievable amount of variety to be discovered from dusty deserts to lush grasslands and spooky forests along with thousands of other real people.
How awesome is that?? Warlock, priest, rogue-there's always the usual choice of classes and a few trade skills throne into good measure, but the most important choice you are going to make is which side are you going to take, the Horde or the alliance, the goodies or the baddies? Either way, when you create your character, you must make two decisions that profoundly affect how you will play World of Warcraft. One of these is your race; the other is your class.
A character's race determines his overall look and also his faction (Alliance or Horde). Faction is important because only characters of the same faction can talk and cooperate with each other; other way around you will not be able to communicate or team up together with members of the opposite faction. Race is mostly a social choice. Alliance's races consist of Dwarves , Humans, Elves ,Gnomes and Draenei opposing to the Horde's set of races , from Goblins, Taurens, Blood Elves, Forsaken, Orcs and Trolls.
Your class, on the other hand, determines what your character can and can't do. Each class offers a vastly different gameplay experience, so the best way to find out which class is right for you is by creating a few different characters to get a glimpse of what each class feels like. And of course, there's also the class guide on this website. Class is mostly a gameplay choice.
You pick one race, choose a class and as you become more powerful, you'll come in contact with opposing faction players and if you play on a PVP or 'Player Versus Player' server, you'll have the chance to them- sometimes alongside with massive groups of cooperating players. Carry-out quests, collect ingredients, group with other players or just explore.. There's never a dull moment in WoW. World of Warcraft is designed beautifully, and you will find it a pleasure to learn how everything functions and works.
The control system is sensible and makes good use of the keyboard and mouse. The game includes a camera that allows you to look around and have a full view of your environment. In general, it is a clear and comprehensible experience. World of Warcraft is a very entertaining game and is easy to play. Its strength is that you don't need to have detailed knowledge or experience of the role-playing genre to enjoy it. Even though the game contains a large and detailed world you will not have a problem understanding it. This is a perfect game for any kind of player.

Chennai: They are both in the home stretch of their careers, but Chennai Super Kings spin duo Harbhajan Singh and Imran Tahir once again have shown that age is just a number. Taking on in-form Kolkata Knight Riders, CSK won by seven wickets as Harbhajan (2/15) and Tahir (2/21) bowled magnificently to derail the KKR batting.
Speaking after the game, skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni compared the duo to wine and said that the two have matured beautifully. "The age is on their side (Bhajji and Tahir). They are like wine and they are maturing. Bhajji has done well in whatever games he has played. I have fallen back on Imran whenever needed and he has come up with very good performances. "Overall, the bowling unit looks good. But once we play on better and flatter wickets with smaller boundaries, we will have to see what is the best combination to play with," he smiled.
Asked about the kind of support he gets in the city every time he plays here, Dhoni said: "I have been here for a very long time. A lot of good things have happened for me here including my Test debut. The crowd loves CSK and I have been a part of the franchise from the start. It is a special connection and they have really adopted me." While CSK won the game, Dhoni once again pointed out that the wickets need to get better as batting becomes difficult on wickets like the one at Chepauk.
"We have been cribbing about the track but we have ended up winning the game. Losing Bravo, it is slightly difficult for us to get the combination as we are missing the all-rounder. David (Wiley) is not here, as well. So, it can't be a straight swap. "I don't think we want to be playing on these tracks. It becomes too low scoring. It becomes slightly difficult for our batsmen as well. It is slightly more difficult batting first but once the dew comes in, it gets better," he pointed.
Commenting on the way the bowling unit functions, he said that he prefers to only guide the bowler by telling him what the batsman is trying to do. "If you once set your own plans, then I step in looking at how the batsman is playing. I don't think we have very long bowling meetings which last at best 15 minutes. Nowadays, I have been emphasising on one-on-one meetings and even I am not part of that," he said.

While Wu Qi was about to kill Lu Buwei, a bright light sparked from his body in the twinkling of an eye. A broken Soul Replacement Puppet fell from midair, and Lu Buwei was nowhere to be found.
Wu Qi stamped his feet. Damn it! He totally forgot that Lu Buwei also had a Soul Replacement Puppet. And yet to his surprise, the Spirit-Restricting Rope failed to stop the Soul Replacement Puppet from taking effect.
Wu Qi looked at the place where Lu Buwei vanished annoyingly, then tapped the Spirit-Restricting Rope with his finger.
"Why did you fail to capture his true form?" Wu Qi was rather upset with Spirit-Restricting Rope. As an immortal item, it actually let Lu Buwei escaped with a Soul Replacement Puppet? He was angry for its poor performance.
"You don't have sufficient power to control me!" The message transmitted from Soul Replacement Puppet was loud and clear. As an immortal item, it did have a mighty power. However, the power of an immortal item largely depended on the person who used it. Greater the immortal energy it was supplied with, the stronger would the power it could unleash be. If it were used by a true Heaven Immortal, even if Lu Buwei could escape his death once with Soul Replacement Puppet, he would still be captured again by the Spirit-Restricting Rope from a distance of several thousand miles away.
"An immortal item is indeed very powerful, but it is not as strong as a true Heaven Immortal!" Spirit-Restricting Rope responded coolly, "There are two reasons why an immortal item is called an immortal item. First, an item spirit has attained the cultivation base of Item Immortal by itself, and second, only a true Immortal can unleash the full power of an immortal item. With your current cultivation base, you should be proud for being able to bring one in ten thousand of my power into play. At least, that power is sufficient to imprison any cultivators below the realm of Heaven Immortal, and even a Thirty-Sixth Tier Heaven Immortal can be trapped for some time if caught unprepared. You better be contented!"
Wu Qi shook his head. That was right, he should be contented.
He bent over and picked up all the storage rings that once belonged to the cultivators of Lu clan, who had now turned into nothingness by the Cold Electric Mirror, then transferred all the energy stones and everything he found into the Black Dragon Spirit Ring. After that, he handed all the rings to a celestial fiend puppet and asked him to hang them with a string around his neck. Wu Qi dared not to take away the storage rings belonging to Great Zhao's generals and cultivators, as he feared that might give himself away. But since he had already offended Lu Buwei, taking away their belongings would not make any difference in their relationship.
When that was done, he retracted all the celestial fiend puppets back into his body, transformed into a stream of yellow mist, and sneaked into the Spirit Pills Pagoda. As he expected earlier, all the spirit pills in the pagoda had turned into ashes, and he did not find any pill that was still useful. Nevertheless, he did find several thousand pill bottles that could be used to contain various pills. After being nourished by the copious amount of immortal aura in this place, the quality of these pill bottles had improved significantly than before the last two Great Apocalypses. With their current quality, perhaps they could be used to keep supreme-grade spirit pills.
He shoved all the pill bottles into his ring, as they were considered a pretty decent wealth.
Satisfied with the finding, Wu Qi left the Spirit Pills Pagoda and continued his looting mission elsewhere. Wherever he went, the place would almost turn completely empty. Anything that caught his eyes, anything that he could bring away, he would loot it and spare nothing behind.
In the meanwhile, more and more restrictive spells in the immortal abode were broken by the six Heaven Immortals and the emperors and ministers of six dynasties. With more regions connected without restriction, the dead bodies of generals and cultivators from various dynasties were soon discovered. The bloody words left near the dead bodies - I, Lu Buwei, killed these men!- made the six Heaven Immortals fume with rage. Their hearts were filled with shock, as they did not understand why Lu Buwei would perform such inhuman deeds.
Instinctively, the six Heaven Immortals thought Lu Buwei was trying to establish his might by killing so many people. Although their cultivation in Dao was profound and their divine abilities were extraordinary, their characters were rather simple and unadorned, honest and kind. They had a Heart of Dao as pure as water, which some called as the pure heart of a newborn baby. That was why they became so angry when they saw the words left behind by Wu Qi, and ordered their disciples to quickly bring Lu Buwei to them, as they would like to question him face to face.
Yet, the emperors and ministers of six dynasties were seen exchanging glances, bowing their heads slightly, and not saying a word. They were all shrewd and crafty fellows, slippery like eels smeared with oil. Therefore, they knew Lu Buwei was framed by someone right at the moment when they saw the large characters. However, nobody stood up to defend for Lu Buwei, not even Yan Dan. As a matter of fact, they felt delighted to see this situation, as Lu Buwei had become a stick that was used to beat the bush. The emperors and ministers of six dynasties wished to use this opportunity to probe how strict or loose the sect rules of the two great immortal sects were.
If this matter were thoroughly investigated, the culprit and murderer was found and seriously punished, then the emperors and ministers of six dynasties would take heed in dealing with their businesses when they were still under both immortal sects. But if Lu Buwei really took the blame at the end, and was punished by both immortal sects, that meant... the emperors and ministers of six dynasties would have to begin to plan something. There were only a total of six Heaven Immortals in both immortal sects, and yet, among the people from six dynasties, many of them actually had a very high chance of making a breakthrough soon and becoming Heaven Immortals. For these people, the oath of never deceiving and murdering their Masters did not come with any binding force. Yes, it was true that they could never deceive and murder their Masters, but there were still plenty of people in the six dynasties' territory who they could use to achieve what they wished.
While the emperors and ministers of six dynasties were filling their minds with crafty thoughts, Wu Qi was still roaming aimlessly under the ground in the immortal abode. Unknowingly, he had come to the southwest corner of the immortal abode, underneath a completely isolated flower garden. The garden did not occupy a big land, only about several acres wide. There was a pond dug out in the center of it, filled with dark-green water, with numerous wisteria and flowers densely grown at its perimeter. The water was piercing cold, and the wisterias were purple-green in color. Although the garden was small, it made people felt like as if it were a Nether Hell, making people's heart race uncontrollably upon looking at it.
Actually, it was by accident that Wu Qi found this place. He found a little energy vein when he was wandering aimlessly in the ground, and he followed it, which eventually led him to this little garden, a place completely isolated from the rest in the immortal abode. When he sensed the incredibly abundant cold air in the pond, he immediately turned and plunged in, reaching the depth of nearly one thousand feet.
The water was piercing cold. Although Wu Qi had already circulated innate energy of five elements to protect himself, he could still feel the coldness that kept pinching his skin like needles.
This pond with dark-green water had been accumulating underground Yin energy since the last two Great Apocalypses. The amount of energies accumulated was so rich they had even taken a corporeal shape. The greenish Yin energies transformed into the shape of a human, sailing back and forth at the depth of the pond, while emitting a threatening coldness wherever they went. At one point, a stream of Yin energy drifted across Wu Qi from several tens of feet away, and the extreme coldness that came suddenly made Wu Qi shudder, and his brows and hairs got covered in frost.
Although he had protected himself with innate energy, he still could not endure the extreme coldness emitted by these Yin energies. Wu Qi was struck dumb with amazement.
He dared not to stay for too long in the water, as he felt his body, his meridians, and everything about him slowly turn stiff. Carefully, Wu Qi left the pond. Why was a pond filled with Yin energies built in Cang Ao Immortal Abode? Wu Qi took a round along the pond's bank with his mind filled with questions, then found a furnace used for item crafting inside a wisteria rack, and an underground fire source which had been sealed off. Only then he realized that this pond was used for quenching. Nevertheless, as there were currently Yin energies which had taken their corporeal shape in the depth of the pond, he wondered what level of magical treasures could withstand the incredibly cold temperature.
He wormed through the ground and took a few rounds around the pond, getting ready to harvest a few threads of Underground Yin Energy for future use. Suddenly, the air above the pond began to ripple violently, and a little fist smashed through the air abruptly. Clad in a blood red palace dress, Yuji strode out from the rift which she just ripped apart. It seemed she had just gone through a fierce battle, as her hair were messy and her dress was drenched with sweat, and she panted and looked in a very sorry state.
Immediately after that, a large sheet of golden light burst through the entrance of the garden. The door was then pushed open, and Yuyao walked elegantly through it and into the garden, clad in a dark palace dress. Next, a large patch of wisterias at the west wing of the garden was sliced through by a razor-sharp blade beam, together with many restrictive spells, and through the opening, Li Yueyan came rushing in. Her face was smiling as her hand grasped a crescent blade.
Three ladies stood facing each other, and Li Yueyan chuckled suddenly, "What a coincidence! Are both sisters here to find some treasures as well?"
Yuji took a deep breath and said deeply, "Yuji does not know what treasures are here to be found. I was chased by a poisonous bug, and it drove me here. It is a very mighty bug, the Snare Scorpion, which has become extinct since the times of great antiquity. I have no clue as to how did it survive until now…It has an awe-inspiring overall strength!"
With a faint golden light emitting from her body and an array map waving ceaselessly behind her back, Yuyao said in a flat tone, "I found the location of this garden in the master map of Cang Ao Immortal Abode. This is a secret place where Cang Ao Immortal used to craft magical items in those years. Therefore, I come here to see if I can find something useful."
Yuji gave Yue Tan a glance with her amorous eyes, then giggled and said softly, "Elder sister, among the three of us, you have the most profound cultivation base. If you do manage to find some good treasures, can you give them to Yuji and Yue Tan? Elder sister, you loved us the most in those years, and I believe you will definitely keep all the good treasures for us, right?"
Hiding underground, Wu Qi's pupils constricted upon hearing that. Yue Tan? Li Yueyan? Yue Tan? He nodded his head thoughtfully, then exercised the Mystic Eyes of Universe and cast his glance around and further down into the earth. Since this place was where Cang Ao Immortal used to craft items, no matter it was a finished or half-finished product, there should be some good items left here. Two bright beams shot out from his eyes, turning all the dirt, sand, and rock transparent like crystals. Nothing could stop him from looking further.
While he was peering and searching for any possible treasures, he suddenly heard Yuyao's voice coming from above, "Don't ever mention the sisterly love between us again. Foreign Heaven Immortals have arrived at Myriad Immortals Planet. Though we've enjoyed a leisurely and carefree life for over two thousand years, we are going to face the bloody battles again. We can only depend on ourselves to struggle through the chaos. If we manage to survive, we might still have the chance to return to our clan. But if we failed, we'll have to turn into ashes with the man we chose to aid!"
She sneered, then continued in a cool tone, "Therefore, be it an immortal item or a magical treasure, they will belong to those who are fortunate enough. Although we are sisters from the same clan, that doesn't mean..."
Yuji sighed lightly and said, "Elder sister, you are heartless."
Li Yueyan sighed bitterly as well and said, "It is not Elder Sister Yuyao being heartless, but it is... it is... he... he is the heartless one. Why can't he just give us a little bit more time, allowing us to cultivate to Heaven Immortal realm, and only then let those foreign Heaven Immortals come to Myriad Immortals Planet?"
While Li Yueyan ended her words with another sigh, Yuyao and Yuji immediately shouted at her, "Shut up, Yue Tan! Do you want to get yourself killed?!"
Deep under the ground, Wu Qi felt his hair standing at the end! Li Yueyan and the others were sisters from the same clan? There was someone else behind their back? The unintentional discovery of Myriad Immortals Planet by Jiangcheng Zi and Han Xiao Immortal was purposely controlled by someone? Perhaps this was what people always said, producing clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another - one could do almost anything with a mighty power… But, what was that person trying to achieve? What exactly did he or she want?
Then, he associated the mysterious reincarnation of Yan Dan and the others in Myriad Immortals Planet, which made him feel a tingling sensation creep across his scalp. It seemed he just discovered something incredible. It was no wonder Jiangcheng Zi, being pushed into a desperate situation, could travel through Flaming Nether Ocean smoothly and arrive at Myriad Immortals Planet. Perhaps, even if he were fully naked, he could still arrive at Myriad Immortals Planet safely.
He narrowed his eyes and pondered for a brief moment, then grinned coldly.
Six dynasties had developed to a pretty strong stage, so maybe it was the time to set them loose so they could wreak some havoc on the outside world?
It was not tough to imagine how many mighty and formidable heroes were there in the six dynasties, and how great a commotion they would stir up when they left Myriad Immortals Planet and entered the outer space. Yet, could there be no secret agreement between the person, or maybe the group of people who sent Yan Dan and the others to Myriad Immortals Planet, and the people involved?
Or perhaps, Yan Dan and the others had long been secretly controlled by someone, and they themselves were not aware of that!
An indescribable sense of danger suddenly invaded the ladies. Yuyao's eyes immediately shone with a blinding golden light, and she gave the surrounding a glance.
"There is someone else here!"

Home Sweet Home…
It's been three years since I was last in New York City and nearly five years since I made the move from the Big Apple to the Big Smoke. Still, NYC will always be home. It's the place I grew up, after all! This trip was long overdue, and it was so nice to do a little exploring, play tourist, and reacquaint myself with the City That Never Sleeps! I definitely appreciate it a lot more, now that I live somewhere else!
Playing Tourist…
This time around, my mother-in-law came with us, so I was able to play the tour guide and see some classic NYC sites! Things I probably didn't do when I lived here, but that I loved all the same.
We got up early and went to Top of the Rock, after feasting on fresh bagels in the cool morning air. Wandering the High Line, and doing a drive by around the Statue of Liberty were particularly fun. We got our steps in by wandering through Grand Central Station, and strolled Central Park… all the classic things you do when you're in NYC!
Pizza Pizza
One of the things I've always missed about living in New York is the pizza. Well, the pizza and the bagels! Naturally, we indulged in a bit of both!
My favorite bagel place is Absolut Bagels on 108th and Broadway. It's a dingy hole in the wall that is well worth the queue. Sometimes, the best places are like that! Nondescript and totally amazing!
Nothing beats an NYC slice, and while I visited my usual haunt (Koronet's Pizza), we also went to Joe's Pizza which had much more of that classic slice-to-go vibe! Honestly, though, it's all so good!
The things I loved most about being home? Going to the movies with some friends and having buttered popcorn, a cherry Coke, and a pack of Twizzlers.
Wandering through Strand Bookstore, which I would go out of my way to spend time in when I lived in NYC.
Walking the High Line, which wasn't actually finished the last time I was home, but was one of my favorite places to go.
City Slickers…
One of the advantages of visiting with people who are not from New York is that you want to share things that aren't touristy, but that are unique to NYC. Like visiting a classic diner!
One morning, we headed to Lexington Candy Shop for a classic diner experience with some friends also visiting New York from London. Big portions, no fuss or frills, and very tasty! We also headed to Veniero's for some classic Italian cannoli! Off the beaten track but so worth it!
There's something about the food in NYC that is just so good! It was nice to have some time to indulge in some of my favorites! The whole trip was really great, and I've come away from it with much more of an appreciation for what an amazing place it is!
NYC will always be a special place for me!

Vitamin D Overdose
Although the majority of people take vitamin D supplements without any issues, it's possible to take too much. This is called vitamin D toxicity. Vitamin D toxicity, where vitamin D can be unsafe, usually occurs if you take 40,000 IU each day for a few months or longer, or take a huge one-time dosage.
Vitamin D is fat-soluble, which means your body has a difficult time eliminating it if you take too much. When you take huge amounts of vitamin D, your liver produces too much of a chemical called 25(OH)D.
When your 25(OH)D levels are high, this can trigger high levels of calcium to establish in your blood. High blood calcium is a condition called hypercalcemia.
The symptoms of hypercalcemia include:
– feeling ill or being ill
– poor appetite or loss of hunger
– sensation really thirsty
– passing urine typically
– irregularity or looseness of the bowels
– abdominal pain
– muscle weak point or pain
– feeling confused
– sensation tired
In some uncommon conditions, you might be at threat of hypercalcemia even if you have low vitamin D levels and haven't taken much vitamin D. These diseases include main hyperparathyroidism, sarcoidosis and a couple of other rare illness. See our Hypersensitivity page page to learn more.
How do I know if I have taken too much?
A blood test to determine your 25(OH)D levels can inform you whether you have too high of vitamin D levels. If your 25(OH)D levels are above 150 ng/ml this is considered potentially poisonous and potentially unsafe to your health. You understand if your 25(OH)D levels are toxic by a blood test to determine calcium. If calcium is high and 25(OH)D is high, then you are getting too much vitamin D.
Very high levels of 25(OH)D can develop if you:
– take more than 10,000 IU/day (but not equivalent to) everyday for 3 months or more. Nevertheless, vitamin D toxicity is more probable to develop if you take 40,000 IU/day everyday for 3 months or more.
– take more than 300,000 IU in a 24 hour period.
If you have actually taken this much vitamin D, look for medical attention. Your health carriers will get your calcium and 25(OH)D levels tested.
The present advisable everyday allowances for vitamin D set by the Food and Nutrition Board are conservative, so you do not need to feel worried about toxicity if you take more than their advised day-to-day allowance. You can discover more about daily vitamin D supplementation on our page, How do I get the vitamin D my body needs?
What should I do if I think I have taken too much vitamin D?
Have you taken more than 300,000 IU in the previous 24 hours OR have you been taking more than 10,000 IU/day for the past 3 months or longer?
– If yes, examine to see if you have signs of toxicity (noted above); symptoms like feeling sick, feeling thirsty, constipation or looseness of the bowels, bad appetite and sensation puzzled. If so, you may have hypercalcemia and need medical attention.
– If you do not have any symptoms, you likely do not have hypercalcemia. Nevertheless, you should get a blood test for 25(OH)D and ensure that you do not have a level above 150 ng/ml. Think about decreasing your vitamin D dose. See our page How do I get the vitamin D my body needs? for additional information.
– If no, you likely do not have hypercalcemia and are not harmful. If you are still concerned, you may choose to get a blood test to measure 25(OH)D to see exactly what your levels are. See our Testing page to learn more.
– If you have symptoms of toxicity however have actually not taken more than 300,000 IU in 24 hours or more than 10,000 IU/day for the previous 3 months, you may have a really unusual condition that is delicate to vitamin D. Please see our Hypersensitivity page for more information.
What about kids?
The more you weigh, the more vitamin D your body can deal with; the less you weigh, the less vitamin D your body can handle. The above cutoffs of 300,000 IU in 24 hours or more than 10,000 IU/day for 3 or more months put on typical adult weight (125-200 lbs).
So, how do you understand if your youngster has gotten too much vitamin D?
– For kids that weigh 25 lbs or less, more than 50,000 IU in 24 hours or 2,000 IU/day for over 3 months is too much and potentially harmful.
– For kids that weigh between 25 and 50 lbs, more than 100,000 IU in 24 hours or 4,000 IU/day for over 3 months is too much and possibly hazardous.
– For children that weigh in between 50 and 75 lbs, more than 150,000 IU in 24 hours or 6,000 IU/day for over 3 months is too much and potentially harmful.
– For youngsters that weigh in between 75 lbs and 100 lbs, more than 200,000 IU in 24 hours or 8,000 IU/day for over three months is too much and possibly poisonous.
If your kid has actually taken too much vitamin D, seek medical interest.
I already checked my 25(OH)D. Is my level expensive?
If your level is greater than 150 ng/ml, this is considered too high and possibly toxic. Look for medical attention if you have symptoms of hypercalcemia (listed above). If you do not have signs, think about lowering your level.

July 29-30, 2017 | Anchorage | Photos by Oscar Avellaneda-Cruz
More than 1,000 attendees flocked to the Anchorage Sheraton hotel last month to experience the second annual THC Fair and get a glimpse into the hidden world of weed culture. A celebration of everything Cannabis, the Fair had dozens of vendors covering every aspect of the up and coming industry. New and veteran recreational Cannabis companies made up a bulk of the show, with dispensaries, producers and processors showing off and talking about their products. There was a great selection of glass and smoking products, cool clothes and accessories, raffles for plants and pipes and hard to find options such as genetics from the powerhouse Seeds Here Now. The event was a major success, and helped reaffirm why the show is pushing its geographic boundaries into Alaska.
"It was a really good show. The vendors we had here were really fantastic," said THC Director Naomi Forkash.
"Most fun for me is meeting the locals, and seeing people come in and be excited to talk about CBD in an open way, and learn about the new ways to grow and consume it and the legalities. Next year we are definitely going to come back to Anchorage earlier in the year, and we are really excited to come back next year!"
Another big seller at the show this year was CBD products, ranging from cartridges to topicals and all sorts of edible treats. We saw the Releaf Alaska booth slammed for most the weekend, helping people get authorized as patients on site with a doctor, and offering a variety of CBD options for people to purchase.
Other booths chose to focus on handing out information and networking, which was easy to do in a ballroom that hummed with conversation for the whole weekend. For guests coming in and out, the chance to see something new was a big draw.
"I flew in from Florida and really wanted to see a dispensary, and when I saw a flyer for this I had to come by," said Tyler B., a 23-year-old tourist on a family trip. "It's really exciting to see and learn about legal pot. We need it at home, but we are still waiting on counties and politics for medical to get started."
For local attendees, the chance to meet a grower or connect with a dispensary where they get their products from was a big hit. Several booths had smelling jars set up, so consumers could sniff and look at the beautiful Cannabis available at a nearby dispensary. Although consumption wasn't allowed, it didn't hinder the enthusiasm felt by vendors and attendees alike. Many left the venue heading to their local shop to try out a new strain or edible.
"I can't wait to go hit a few stores now," said Cheryl Desmound, who was traveling from the lower 48. "I thought you could only infuse pot into butter, so learning about the different edibles was a new experience."
Topics for speakers included extraction, edible use and potency, legal regulations and the future of the industry, which rounded out the show as a true coming together of everything Cannabis.
With a positive vibe and a friendly environment, the THC Fair showed Alaska is hungry for pot, and the budding industry behind it.

In an increasing number of organizations, the CIO is not the person who decides what IT projects should get investment. That job now belongs to the CFO .
CFOs to CIOs: You Work for Me Now
CFO: IT's New Boss?
I have always thought this, but now a recent survey by Gartner (IT) and two financial management organizations found that CFOs have "authorized" 26 percent of IT investments, an increase of as much as 15 percent from the prior year.
By authorizing, this means that CFOs are playing an active role in shaping IT direction.
The survey also showed that 42 percent of IT organizations report to the CFO, and 33 percent to the CEO.
The study offers a clear warning and advice to CIOs, says John Van Decker, an analyst at Gartner.
The IT priorities of CFOs may be about improving business processes, efficiency and using IT to gain competitive insight. The CIO, by contrast, may be less focused on business intelligence, and more interested in projects that advance cloud computing and virtualization , Van Decker said.
"There is a message in the study that IT needs to get much closer to business," Van Decker said. "If they (CIOs) don't do that I think what you are going to see is more of the control being taken away."
Another clear warning for CIOs coming from this survey was its finding that only 30 percent of respondents believe that IT is providing clear business benefits.
Even more alarming, perhaps, was a finding that "only 32 percent of CFOs said they see the CIO as a strategic partner."
This survey involved the Financial Executives Research Foundation, and the Committee of Finance & IT of Financial Executives International. It included responses from 344 qualified respondents, with 46 percent working at companies with more than $1 billion in annual revenue.
Van Decker includes a caveat in this survey, namely that it reflect the bias of CFOs and what they believe is occurring in organizations.
Despite the growing role of the CFO in technology decision-making, Van Decker doesn't see the CIO's job disappearing, but it may erode if CIOs don't do a better job in working with the business.
"If the [CIO] role doesn't evolve to be more business oriented," Vandecker said, "business areas will go off and do their own thing and involve IT at a minimum."

News that the FBI is investigating allegations that 9/11 victims might have had their voicemails hacked by reporters sure seems like a fitting response to the cascade of revelations of wrongdoing at Rupert Murdoch's now-defunct London tabloid, News of the World.
No doubt, it would be atrocious if newshounds had pawed at messages left for those who died abruptly that day, messages never heard by the people they were meant for. Or eavesdropped on the words of the terrified victims themselves during their last moments.
It's such a cruel invasion the privacy that whoever's responsible should be found and punished, it would seem.
But I'm uneasy. I don't like to see detectives in newsrooms, demanding information from reporters about their sources and newsgathering practices. Cops believe quite a lot of what the press does is wrong: Using leaks, for instance, or protecting the anonymity of sources, or scrutinizing the police.
You don't have to be a fan of Murdoch's Fox News or his New York Post or any of his British papers to wince at having their editors interrogated about exactly how well, or how foolishly, or even how recklessly their reporters covered the frantic aftermath of 9/11—how they tried to find people who might illuminate the horror.
And, hey, who's doing the investigating? Why, it's those staunch friends of the Fourth Amendment over at the FBI. Continue reading "Hacking is a media scandal, but no reason for a federal crackdown"

While walking in the street, I came across a concept that I did not know: clean-tagging " or " own tag In French ... But what is it?
The concept of a clean tag is, in fact, in several forms:
- the " Reverse-Tagging Or "Water-tagging": the idea is to clean a sidewalk or a dirty wall with a stencil and a karcher (high-pressure water jet). The shape of the stencil will display the desired message;
- the "Chalk-Tagging" or "Paint-Tagging": the idea is to make a drawing with a chalk, drawing will disappear quite quickly from the first rains (well, that's what they say).
Legal issue
What some say
According to companies specialized in advertising of this type, the situation would be quite clear (when they approach the subject): if the chalk-tagging can be subjected to authorization, the reverse-tagging would be allowed if not prohibited .
What the law says
TheArticle 322-1 of the Penal Code has:
Tracing inscriptions, signs or drawings, without prior authorization, on façades, vehicles, public roads or street furniture is punished with a fine of € 3,750 and a community service sentence where only slight damage resulted.
The wording of this article is devilishly broad in reality: " Tracing inscriptions ... ».
However, it is necessary that a slight damage results from these inscriptions, signs or drawings.
My opinion
Inscription ?
As a reminder, the word " registration "Finds its etymology in the Latin word" scribo Which simply means to write.
Therefore, how to say that the reverse-tagging would not be an inscription? or a technique to write a message?
The existence of slight damage
Concerning the "light damage", the people who use these techniques underline that no damage results from their inscriptions (even, on the contrary, since they wash the sidewalk) ...
In my opinion, if they can be right about the physical damage (and again), I'm not sure that their listings do not cause aesthetic damage to the public space (especially in the context of advertisements).
So, I think that theArticle 322-1 of the Penal Code is quite applicable to all these techniques: both chalk-tagging and reverse-tagging (without authorization) seem to me to be prohibited by the letter and the spirit of theArticle 322-1 of the Penal Code.

OFCCP Director shares thoughts on current case
The following letter was shared though media sources on June 10, 2016
Setting the Record Straight: OFCCP v. Bank of America
By Patricia Shiu on June 4, 2016
In an April 2016 decision in OFCCP v. Bank of America, the department's Administrative Review Board – which reviews recommended decisions of department administrative law judges and issues final agency decisions for the secretary of labor – ruled in a case dating back more than 20 years. A number of published reports and statements reflect a misunderstanding of the ARB's split decision, in which three judges took three distinct approaches to resolving the allegations regarding discrimination during 2002-2005. The following is an explanation of the decision to help set the record straight.
Following a 1993 compliance review of what was then NationsBank's corporate headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, OFCCP filed an administrative complaint in 1997 alleging that the bank, a federal contractor, had violated Executive Order 11246 by engaging in a pattern or practice of intentional hiring discrimination against African Americans. NationsBank subsequently merged with Bank of America, and the case went through several years of judicial and administrative litigation before finally going to trial before an administrative law judge. The ALJ ultimately issued a series of recommended decisions rejecting the bank's Fourth Amendment challenge to its selection for a compliance review, finding the bank liable for a pattern or practice of intentional racial discrimination against African-American applicants in 1993 and in 2002-2005, and awarding back pay and interest totaling more than $2 million.
2016 decision The three ARB judges each came to separate conclusions on certain issues, but all rejected the bank's argument that its selection for an Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs compliance review violated the Fourth Amendment, holding instead that the bank had voluntarily and contemporaneously consented to the review. All three judges on the panel also affirmed the finding that the bank intentionally discriminated against African-American applicants in 1993 and upheld the award of $964,033 plus interest to those applicants.
With respect to the 2002-2005 period, one member of the panel, Judge Brown, rejected the ALJ's liability finding solely on the basis that OFCCP did not, in his view, follow proper procedures in expanding liability to that period; his opinion never discusses the sufficiency of the evidence related to the 2002-2005 period (page 34).
A second member, Judge Corchado, determined that the evidence did not establish a violation during the later period, but did not decide whether OFCCP followed proper procedures, asserting that he "takes no position" on the procedural issues. (page 16).
The third member, Judge Royce, found both that OFCCP followed proper procedures in expanding the liability period and that there was sufficient evidence to establish the bank's violation in 2002-2005 as well as 1993. Judge Royce would have affirmed the ALJ's findings in their entirety (pages 35-41).
Contrary to some accounts, "the ARB" did not hold that OFCCP failed to present sufficient evidence to establish a violation during this period, nor did "the ARB" hold that OFCCP failed to afford the bank proper procedural safeguards by expanding liability to the 2002-2005 period. Instead, only one of the three judges on the panel reached each of these respective conclusions. On May 23, 2016, the bank appealed the ARB's decision to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The case is now pending in that court.
Patricia Shiu is the director of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs.
