One of the chief go-to online cable resources, Monoprice, will be unveiling an assortment of new products at the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), including a new home theater processor, the Monolith HTP-1 (available in the fall), and a range of THX Certified Sealed Subwoofers. The company says it is known for delivering the latest technologies direct-to-consumer to avoid high cost markups. Monoprice will also showcase a further selection of product offerings across a variety of categories including consumer audio, 3D printing, monitors, cables and accessories at The Venetian in Las Vegas.
The new Monolith HTP-1 16 Channel Dolby Atmos & DTS:X Home Theater Processor with Dirac will be priced at $3,999.99 (pictured). Monoprice says the controller is a state of the art, 16 channel processor engineered "for the true audiophile." The unit features support of the latest Dolby Atmos and DTS-X surround formats and is equipped with advanced room correction software Dirac Live.
The Monolith THX Certified Sealed Subwoofers (priced from $499.99 to $1,299.99) are currently pending THX certification, but promise to deliver "chest thumping bass," up to 1,000 watts of power, and superior sealed cabinet construction. Monoprice also says the new units will deliver "punchy bass, spectacular musicality and low frequency extension." Sizes will include 10″ 12″ and 15″ driver variants.
"Our continued mission for 2019 is providing greater accessibility to the sought-after product categories consumers are enthusiastic about but often discouraged by because of high costs," said Bernard Luthi, CEO at Monoprice. "With emerging technologies representing evolving consumer preferences on display at CES, the show is the perfect stage on which to introduce high-quality solutions that boldly disrupt industry price points. The Home Theater Processor we're debuting this year is a great example of this, which we're offering at one-third of the cost of the industry standard. We look forward to sharing our new products with the technology-focused audience CES is known for."

Pub: Humble Bundle
Released: 05/03/19
Size: 6.46 GB
Price: £19.99/$29.99/€29.99
Xbox One X Enhanced: Yes
Developed by White Paper Games and published by Humble Bundle, The Occupation seeks to draw players back to late 1980s England with this first person, politically rooted narrative adventure. It's a small niche for a game, but White Paper pushes The Occupation to every possible limit. While players do take control of a handful of characters during The Occupation's run time, their primary role is as journalist Harvey Miller. Harvey's mission is to uncover the events that lead up to the Turing Bombing of 1987 which has resulted in swift legislation and subsequent political uprising that is tearing the country apart.
Players are tasked with guiding Miller through a series of interviews with important political players in order to sleuth out the truth. Prior to each interview, the player has one hour – in real time – to uncover as much information as possible using any means necessary. Typically this involves sneaking around the premises of the interview, crawling through vents, stealing ID cards, and hacking into sluggish PCs. All of this must be done without getting caught in inappropriate places by the lurking AI, however being spotted isn't a game over situation. You can be reset several times before you straight up annoy the guards and get thrown out, which can result in a missed interview.
Missing interviews or not finding pertinent information again isn't a game over scenario. The Occupation has multiple potential endings based on what you uncover during your play through, whether you catch people up in lies or make it to all of the important events. Getting to that ending can be a bigger task than one would think, however. The Occupation relies on the mechanic that you have one real time hour before interviews to uncover as much as possible, and there is no way to save part way through your hour. Each chapter auto saves at the end, but there is no way to save mid chapter. If you are unable to sit down and play uninterrupted for one entire chapter you're going to find yourself getting thrown back to the beginning. Likewise because of the game's fixed time schedule, any interruptions in real life can result in wasting a play through if you're not on time for a meeting. It makes playing an otherwise enjoyable game a surprising chore.
The unfortunate lack of a mid chapter save isn't The Occupation's only disappointing side. Despite the beautifully crafted world, characters movements are clunky and it can be difficult to overcome obstacles. This is particularly evident when trying to navigate the numerous vent systems that allow you to move about undetected. Often times trying to climb up onto furniture to scramble into a vent can leave your character stuck, hunched over between a filing cabinet and a ceiling with little wiggle room to actually get where you're going.
It will take multiple play throughs if you want to experience The Occupation's optional cutscenes and various endings. In general, your time with the game is enjoyable enough to justify the play throughs but forced restarting of chapters if you quit before the auto save kicks in can add unnecessary time and frustration.
A copy of the game was provided for this review by the developer/publisher

Carl Icahn is going public with his campaign to scuttle Cigna Corp.'s
The billionaire activist investor plans to send an open letter Tuesday urging fellow Cigna shareholders to vote against the deal, which he calls a "$60 billion folly" carrying a "ridiculous" price tag, according to a draft seen by The Wall Street Journal.
"Cigna is dramatically overpaying for a highly challenged Express Scripts that is facing existential risks on several fronts," Icahn writes.
The Journal previously reported that Icahn bought a sizable Cigna stake, plans to vote against the health insurer's proposed purchase of the pharmacy-benefit manager and was considering publicly airing his concerns to persuade other shareholders to do the same. His concerns include competitive risk from Amazon.com Inc.

A Yiddish term for gay that is derived from the word bird is another possible root for the term "fag." This is especially possible in the United States. The terms "faggot" and "fag" referring to a "bundle of sticks" were rarely used in historical American English. Furthermore, American English has incorporated many Yiddish terms (and pronunciations) into its lexicon. "Feigele" is pronounced "veyg-uh-luh," and as in most Germanic pronunciations, the "v" sound is commonly softened to an "f." In the northeast US, "fag" is pronounced more like, "feyg."

Discussion in 'LOCAL MISSOURI TALK' started by cross_their_eyes, Aug 15, 2005.
We'll it looks as if we have a little water now. I hope this turns em' on a bit!
:thumbsup: Got rain here for the last 2 days.Finally, allmost forgot what is was.They have been getting a little more around stockton it looks like. Plan on running some jugs and poles on the upper osage and sac this week.Hope the rain turns on the big ones.
Hey Bill. Did you have any luck finding the shad? I've been getting them on the sand banks behind the rock walls. I use the boat to (Herd Them) into shallower water and throw the net. It works best if you have two guys so one guy can drive and the other pitch the net. Tell your boat operator to hug the six foot depth line on your sonar so you'll be throwing to water less deep. The shad dont have much water to escape the net that way. Good Luck Fishing.
I haven't been out since last thursday but I'll try it this week. Rock wall = dikes? Or is this something different? Hey, whatchadoing hurt'n yourself? What happened? Big fish pull you in?
Yeah, I meant wing dykes. I call them rock walls. I jumped out of the boat to get my anchor unstuck on the wall and one of the rocks slipped. I took a pretty nasty chunk out of my shin. I could see my tibia quite nicely. Bones really are White. HaHa. I have learned a lesson in all of this. Dont wear flip flops on the walls, and if you cut yourself, Kutter recommends dripping all of the blood overboard for chum. I dont know how many stitches I received, I got bored with counting them and took a nap. Oh well.
Yep, those rock are pretty loose on the dykes. Slipped a few times myself. You should have found that "chunk" and froze it for cutbait Accually, that's a pretty discusting thought...
Hope you heal soon. Get back out there and put the whoop to some big'ns.
Bill, are you going out this weekend? Depending on the weather..I dont mind rain but I sure as hell will not be on the water if the word lightening is muttered during the weather forecast...If it looks like I might get to go I plan on going on the Merimac to get some shad and shinners. I have two bags froze if all else fails.. :happ-big: dont you just love these new smilies??
Thanks Bill. I'll be out there next week. Good Luck if you go this week.
Dave, I love those new smilies, especially this one :evil-big:
They are talking about a chance of storms Sat. night....cool Sunday. I may just use gill heads and do some drift fishing. Watch out for submerged logs...rivers com'n 3 1/2 feet by the weekend. There will be some trash out there.
Hey Dave and Bill, Will you guys be able to join us for a miniture BOC get together first week of September if we have it? Kutter and a handful of others are going to try and make it. It would be nice to mee everybody. :evil-big:
Where are you guys planning on haveing it?
So far, my wife doesn't have anything planned for that weekend but, my sons playing high school football and my daughter plays soccer. So, I don't know yet. If anyone ever goes to the Bass Pro in St. Charles, my oldest son pretty much runs the archery department. Stick your head in and tell Tony to keep at it. He's been working hard for big cats this year but he hasn't reeled in anything large yet. Encourage him to keep on trying. He would love to hear from you all.
We are planning on having it on the Mississippi River near the Rush Island Power Plant. There is a place to put the boats in there. Look for more details tomorrow as I'm trying to work things out with Kutter. He can give everyone directions to the boat ramp also. More details to follow.
A mini gathering sounds great..a few days heads up I should be able to go. Most likely I will need the extra few days to get a loan for gas! :cursing:

This time i focused on plugin API management. To me the best way to handle this is to use interfaces.
I wasn't motivated enough to dig in PEAK' PyProtocols so i picked up an ASPN recipe, did some magic-cooking and came up with a base Plugin class and an IPlugin interface. Each plugin developer shall use both this way:
from framework.plugin import IPlugin, Plugin class IFoo(IPlugin): def echo(self, message): pass class Foo(Plugin): __implements__ = IFoo def echo(self, message): return message
In the plugin loader you are now able to detect 'false' plugins and partially implemented plugins:
from framework.plugin import InterfaceOmission, Plugin for entrypoint in pkg_resources.iter_entry_points("my.plugins"): try: plugin_class = entrypoint.load() except InterfaceOmission, omission: print omission continue assert issubclass(plugin_class,Plugin), '%r is not a valid Plugin!' % plugin_class
I've put the code in the PythonFR SVN repository, hoping it would eventually be useful for anybody else than me ;-) I don't think the code will evolve much more, it remains simple enough so that it can be reused.

Chase Mining Ltd (ASX:CML) has gained further evidence that a significant nickel discovery could be hosted within its Lorraine and Alotta-Delphi-Zullo (ADZ) Project areas in Quebec, Canada.
Processing of the survey has identified six strong massive sulphide conductors ranked as high-priority targets – five at Lorraine and one at ADZ.
A diamond drill program of up to 2,500 metres has been budgeted to test the Lorraine high-priority targets.
Notably, drilling will partly coincide with a site visit by company directors Leon Pretorius and Martin Kavanagh in early June.

Europe Reacts To Historic U.K. Election: 'Hurricane Boris, Brexit Triumphs'
The magnitude of the victory of Boris Johnson's Conservative Party was felt across Europe as the result of the U.K. general election confirms the prospect of Brexit next month.
All major newspapers on Friday remarked on the size of the majority won by the current prime minister—at least 364 seats in total, an increase of 66—as well as its implications for Brexit, which is now almost certainly going to happen by the January 31 deadline.
'Bye Bye Europe'
In Germany, the Suddeutsche Zeitung titled "Tories win absolute majority" on the newspaper's front page, while the online version focused on the future of the U.K. and the European Union: "Brexit is coming."
In France, the U.K. election didn't feature predominantly on the newspaper's print version, but dominated the homepages of all major publications across the political spectrum: "Brexit will happen on January 31, pledges Johnson after his victory," reads Le Figaro, as Le Monde called Johnson's victory "historic" and Liberation too remarked on Johnson's "triumph."
Similar headlines remarking on the election result were to be found in the Netherlands, where the financial newspaper Het Financieele Dagblaad noted the exit polls prediction of a "resounding victory" for Johnson. On its homepage, the newspaper wrote: "British voters give Boris Johnson mandate to deliver Brexit."
Italian newspaper prominently featured the election result's implication for Europe, with La Repubblica leading its front page with the words: "Bye Bye Europe: Boris Johnson triumphs, Conservatives gain absolute majority. Brexit approaching." For Il Giornale, it's: "Hurricane Boris, Brexit triumphs."
Labour Losses
The huge losses—at least 42 seats—suffered by the Labour Party also made headlines across the continent, where center-left parties have also suffered major defeats or failed to gain strong majorities in recent elections.
Denmark's Politiken features several stories remarking on Labour's defeat: "There are no words right now to describe how terrible the future looks for Labour," one comment piece reads, while another article focuses on "the most startling election results: Labour constituencies turn blue for the first time since 1922." Another story sums it all up: "Boris Johnson landslide victory is a good day for Brexit and a farewell to Jeremy Corbyn."
Scotland's Future
Spanish newspapers like El Pais and El Mundo are among the few in Europe to focus on another key result of the evening—the 13 seats gained by the Scottish National Party led by Nicola Sturgeon, who wants a new independence referendum.
As Spain deals with its own independence movement in Catalonia, they'll closely be following what happens in Scotland.

A Community triple-shot in the wake of the season's most anticipated (and best) episode
Just in: NBC will air all three final episodes of Community's third season back to back to back on May 17.
Warning: this post contains major spoilers for anyone who has not seen last week's episode "Basic Lupine Urology".
Part 1: recap, analysis, and a look at what's next
Last Thursday, we saw the most anticipated episode of Community all season. Not only was it their Law & Order parody, but it was also the episode where a recurring character met his demise. I personally spent months speculating and, in the end, it was my first guess all along: Starburns. Dino Stamotopolous' drug-dealing, affectation-laden weirdo died at the end of the episode, as his car was rear-ended, causing the meth lab in his trunk to explode. In retrospect, it all seems so obvious. I mean, how else?
Stamotopolous is also a writer and consulting producer on the show and had actually requested that his character be written off so that he could concentrate on, well, doing his actual job. Funny enough, he was basically thrust into the role. When Dan Harmon needed someone to sit for hours while the hair and make-up people figured out how to do the iconic sideburns, it would have been too expensive to get an actor to do it. So he called one of the writers. Of course, writers are always cheaper.
The death itself came at the very end of the episode, after the episode's plot had resolved. This is good, because it would have detracted from the brilliance of the parody, with Troy and Abed as the cops investigating the destruction of their biology project and Jeff and Annie as the lawyers in a classroom mock-trial, complete with twists and turns, leading to Fat Neil's eventual confession. It was not only a great L&O parody, but is even reminiscent of the classic, formulaic courtroom dramas going all the way back to Perry Mason.
Despite coming at the very end of the episode, Starburns' death is not a throw-away. It will, in fact, drive the action for the rest of the season. Next week, there will be a funeral in the cafeteria, featuring the dead man himself in video form. This will lead to the study group's expulsion from Greendale, which will then drive the rest of the season's story arc. If you remember, Jeff and Annie refused to break a pinkie swear with Starburns not to out him for stealing beakers for his automobile meth lab. If they had broken that promise, he might not have died, since he would likely have gotten busted and lost his explosive hobby.
My guess is that this is why they get expelled.

ARGO launched a new ATV line at a dealer meeting last weekend, which it expects to bolster originations for its retail lender partners — Dealer Direct and TD Auto Finance, President Brad Darling told Powersports Finance.
The New Hamburg, Ontario-based manufacturer, unveiled its xtreme terrain vehicle (XTV) lineup for the 2018 model year during the "ARGO Expo" last Sunday, in addition to a new ATV product line — the ARGO Xplorer Series. And Darling foresees the addition of ATV line will help increase its retail lender partners' originations. The ATV line will operate similarly to the XTV line, in terms of the business model and the retail financing side, he added.
In addition, the OEM is offering an incentive of 4.9% financing for 60 months, plus a three-year warranty. The promotion will run through Sept. 30. However, this is not the first time the company has offered financing incentives. In the spring, ARGO launched 0% financing for 60 months through Dealer Direct, plus a three-year limited warranty, and $2,000 in free accessories for the 2017 Avenger 8×8 LX model.
"The changes in the promotions are seasonal," Darling said. "We want to be competitive, and we think the fall promotion is an appealing choice for customers."
ARGO sells six- and eight-wheeled amphibious Das XTVs worldwide and has offices in Canada and the United States, according to Darling. While its factories are located in Canada, ARGO operates its office in Delaware. "Our main businesses and marketshare are in the USA," Darling said.
ARGO does not intend to partner with more banks or financial institutions — at least for now, Darling said. "We already have three very strong partners — Northpoint Commercial Finance [for wholesale financing], Dealer Direct, and TD Auto Finance — that are able to handle the North American market adequately," he said.

Learn How to Master 3D Printing in Less Than 10 Minutes – 3D printing is an incredibly popular production method for engineers and businesses, and with good reason. While the process may seem a little bit complicated for some, especially if they're new to the idea, companies like 3D Hubs make 3D printing a breeze.
For those excited about using this technology, here's some good news: the valuable information in The 3D Printing Handbook is now available as a YouTube series.

These short episodes cover tons of concepts in easily digestible 10-minute bites, but here's some basic information before jumping into the videos.
3D printing service can make product prototyping and production incredibly simple, quick, and cost-effective for businesses and engineers.
Once a design is uploaded, the 3D Hubs experts can review the file for issues using their unique software. After the material is selected, the filament is inserted into the 3D printing machine and heated to the correct temperature, and then the item is constructed layer by layer.
Popular FDM 3D printing plastics include PLA, nylon, and resin. The material chosen will depend highly on the desired print result.
PLA tends to be less expensive, but resin is fantastic for lots of details. Different metals are also available, like aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium. Metal is usually more expensive but has advantages for mechanical pieces.
There are several different 3D printing techniques, and experts can help when making this crucial decision.
There's the basic FDM printing, which is fast but inexpensive, and the layers tend to be more visible. FDM 3D printing is, however, great for constructing a prototype.
SLA/DLP printing can still be completed relatively quickly and produces a smoother finish, but tends to be more brittle than FDM printed items.
Functional plastic parts may be best manufactured using SLS, which involves fusing polymer powder particles in layers.
Another option for functional plastic parts is MJF, whereas DMLF/SLM is ideal for industries such as medical, aerospace, and automotive.
Even this information barely scratches the details inside The 3D Printing Handbook. With a little research, 3D printing services can make a huge difference for engineers and businesses looking for custom manufactured parts.
With the variety of materials and the benefits that come with each type, there's sure to be a process for every design.

text: I've encountered an installation inside a cabinet below a cash register which is not something I've seen before. The 4x4 box contains two duplex receptacles but they are not supplied from the same circuit. One pair is configured for 20A, 125V straight bladed plugs and supplied from a 20 A branch circuit. The other pair is configured for 250V and supplied from two poles of a separate circuit breaker. As long as the receptacles, breakers, and wiring sizes meet standards, is this configuration something that would likely to be accepted by a thorough electrical inspection?

BCBS and IOSCO extend final implementation phase of margin requirements for non-centrally cleared derivatives
On 23 July 2019, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) published an updated version of the margin requirements for non-centrally cleared derivatives jointly with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO).
A related press release explains that the BCBS and IOSCO have agreed to extend, by one year, the final implementation phase of the margin requirements. With this extension, the final implementation phase will take place on 1 September 2021, at which point covered entities with an aggregate average notional amount (AANA) of non-centrally cleared derivatives greater than EUR8 billion will be subject to the requirements. To facilitate the extension, the BCBS and IOSCO will introduce an additional implementation phase whereby, as of 1 September 2020, covered entities with an AANA of non-centrally cleared derivatives greater than EUR50 billion will be subject to the requirements.
The BCBS and IOSCO have agreed to the extended timeline to support smooth and orderly implementation of the margin requirements. They expect covered entities to act diligently to comply with the requirements by the revised timetable, and strongly encourage market participants to make all relevant arrangements on a timely basis.
European Commission publishes package of materials assessing EU AML and CTF framework
On 24 July 2019, the European Commission published a package of materials assessing the EU's anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) framework, together with related Q&As. The Commission believes that these materials, addressed to the European Parliament and the Council of the EU, will support the EU and national authorities to better address money laundering and terrorist financing risks. Some improvements can be made quickly at the operational level. The Commission will continue to support member states in this, while also reflecting on how to address the remaining structural challenges. It considers that the package will serve as a basis for future policy choices on how to further strengthen the EU AML and CTF framework. The assessment included, among others, reports assessing recent money laundering cases, financial intelligence unit's co-operation framework, and interconnection of national central bank account registries.
FCA and FCA Practitioner Panel report setting out findings of 2019 joint survey of regulated firms
On 31 July 2019, the FCA and the FCA Practitioner Panel published a report setting out the findings of their 2019 joint survey of regulated firms.
The survey was carried out by Kantar Public, an independent market research organisation, which sent it to a sample of firms. Between January and March 2019, 2,888 firms completed the survey, which requests feedback on how well the FCA is achieving its three operational objectives.
In 2019, scores against the first two objectives (that is, securing an appropriate degree of protection for consumers and protecting and enhancing the integrity of the UK's financial system) have risen slightly. In relation to the third objective (promoting effective competition in the interests of customers), the confidence of the larger fixed portfolio firms increased, but the overall score for all firms decreased from 72% to 70%.
The survey results also revealed some specific areas for improvement. In particular:
Information requests. There was a substantial increase in the proportion of fixed firms indicating the number of FCA information requests are greater than seems necessary. This is an issue both the Financial Services Consumer Panel (FSCP) and the Smaller Business Practitioner Panel (SBPP) have raised, highlighting both the volume of requests and the associated costs to firms.
Trust in supervision. Flexible portfolio firms have overall higher satisfaction scores than fixed firms, but are less likely to agree that FCA staff have sufficient experience and are appropriately qualified. Since the survey, the FCA has clarified its approach to supervision.
European Commission Communication on equivalence policy with non-EU countries
On 29 July 2019, the European Commission published a Communication (and annex) on equivalence in the area of financial services. The Commission explains that in the light of international policy developments and new legislation, it is timely to take stock of the EU's approach to equivalence and to set out the challenges that the policy faces. The Communication contains a section on the purpose of equivalence and how policy decisions are made. It emphasises how each new equivalence decision needs to provide a prudent and sustainable framework, be compatible with EU policy priorities, and consider the prudential treatment granted to EU market participants.
The Commission indicates that "in the coming months" it will work closely with the ESAs to increase co-operation relating to monitoring of equivalence decisions. It also sets out an outline of its priorities for 2019 and 2020, which include:
- Continuing work on equivalence assessments, especially relating to the Regulation on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts or to measure the performance of investment funds ((EU) 2016/1011) (Benchmarks Regulation or BMR).
- Repealing existing decisions where the third-country framework no longer delivers the necessary outcomes (for example, under the CRA Regulation).
- Focusing on high-impact areas and third countries (EMIR (Regulation 64/2012) is specifically mentioned).
- Areas where there is an impending review or expiry of an equivalence deadline (the Capital Requirements Regulation (575/2013) is specifically mentioned).
Examining market segments that are undergoing dynamic or structural changes (the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (Regulation 600/2014) (MiFIR) is specifically mentioned).
FCA final rules on extension of SM&CR to FCA solo-regulated firms and new financial services directory
On 26 July 2019, the FCA published a policy statement (PS19/20) setting out its final rules on extending the senior managers and certification regime (SM&CR) to FCA solo-regulated firms. It also sets out the final rules on a new directory of individuals working in financial services.
In general, the FCA has implemented the proposed changes to the SM&CR as consulted on, which includes:
- Confirming that the head of legal function is excluded from the requirement to be approved as a senior manager under the senior managers regime (SMR).
- Amending the intermediary revenue criteria for the enhanced regime.
- Clarifying the requirements and scope of the certification regime. In particular, the scope of the client dealing function will be amended and the FCA will introduce new guidance for situations in which a senior manager holds a senior management function (SMF) and also performs a systems and controls role. In this situation, the individual may need to be certified for the systems and controls part of their role if it differs significantly from their SMF role.
- Extending senior manager conduct rule 4 (SC4) to non-approved executive directors at limited scope firms.
Making two changes to the wording of regulatory forms to ensure they accurately reflect the rules in the FCA's Handbook.
FCA signs IOSCO-ESMA agreement covering transfer of personal data between EEA and non-EEA authorities
On 25 July 2019, the FCA published an agreement setting out administrative arrangements for the transfer of personal data between European Economic Area (EEA) authorities and non-EEA authorities.
Among other things, in the agreement, the authorities have regard to:
- Article 46(3)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) (GDPR) and Article 48(3)(b) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data.
- The relevant legal framework for protecting personal data in their jurisdictions. The authorities acknowledge the importance of regular dialogue between the EEA authorities and their national data protection authorities, or the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) in the case of ESMA.
The need to process personal data to carry out the public mandate and exercise of official authority vested in them, and the need to ensure efficient international co-operation between them acting in accordance with their mandates to safeguard investors or customers, and foster integrity and confidence in the securities and derivatives markets.

For fall/winter 2016, Veronica Etro was inspired by '90s London — and memories of growing up and going out. Backstage, where models flitted about in robes printed with the designer's signature paisley patterns, the hairstylist James Pecis created a look he described as "'90s grunge" — "but with clean hair, and a bit of 'Rayanne' from the show 'My So-Called Life'," he added.
Pecis said that more and more this season, designers are allowing girls to show their personalities, rather than forcing them all into the same uniform style, related perhaps to the long-overdue increased diversity of models on the runway. At Etro, he didn't straighten natural curls (unlike in seasons past), and left strong haircuts more or less as is. Only when it came to long, straight locks did he manipulate their shape, using a large curling iron to bend hair with a back-and-forth motion, for s-shaped waves. "It's still a natural look — which, after all these seasons making natural looks, my team better be an expert in," Pecis said, peering over his shoulder at the row of hairstylists briskly working away on seated models. Hair was sprayed with Tigi's Queen for a Day hair thickener, a product he called a staple of his team.
The makeup artist Mark Carasquillo wanted to use "real girl tricks" to create a look that he said was inspired by the kind of young woman who would go to Nell's, an old nightclub in New York. He rimmed the inside of models' eyes with a black pencil, pulling the shape up with a touch of brown shadow at the corners. He then added "too much mascara" — and a close-to-natural color to models' lips, using his fingers so it would appear just dabbed on. A mix of bronzer and pink blush on the cheeks finished the face. "She's a cool girl," said Carasquillo. "She should look like she's just been dancing a lot."

Dear Sir;
With due respect to your office and your personality sir, it would be insane of me if I fail to congratulate you on your appointment as the Director General (DG) National Youth Service Corps few months ago by General Muhammadu Buhari (President Federal Republic of Nigeria).
Haven said that, this letter is necessitated and borne out of the untold suffering, heartache and hardship prospective corps members had encountered in the last few months since the beginning of the postponement saga. I felt obliged to tell you sir that a minute delay can result to a lifetime regret not to talk of spending almost a year at home anticipating for an inconsistent scheme called NYSC.
Sir, many have resigned from the menial work they use to keep the body and soul together with the believe that its about time to serve our Father's land. What sicken me most is our inability to secure a better employment without NYSC dispatch certificate which is being demanded from us by employers in many organizations and parastatals. More so, many prospective corps members can not further their education because of this delay.
It is pertinent to let you know that we are being forced to stay idle, and an idle hand they say is the devil's workshop. Our precious time is being wasted by awaiting an inconsistent system all because of our curiosity and ardent desire to serve our Father's land in humility, patriotism and good faith.
How long shall we continue to wait?
How long shall we continue to hope?
How long shall we continue to anticipate earnestly?
How long shall we be subjected to unwarranted impediment?
Our patience has gotten to its elastic limit. The hardship in Nigeria is so unbearable for us and it will be inhumane to be punishing the youth and leaders of tomorrow by promising them to continue to wait for what seems to be uncertain and this is not in the best interest of Nigeria graduates.
Sir, we can no longer wait for NYSC to determine the course of our future. As we are awaiting a new date yet to be fixed, it would be another rape on our right as Nigeria graduate if the time frame is so elongated than a week from now.
In lieu with this, as a concerned prospective corps member, I hereby urge and plead the management and staff of National Youth Service Corps headed by your good office to feel our pains and save our future by putting everything in place and in shape so that BATCH A STREAM II corps members can be camped in not more than a week time.
Sir, we know you to be a father and your magnanimous magnanimity is what we expect in this imbroglio in order to save our future because we are the leaders of tomorrow. A timely and urgent intervention is what we crave for. A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE.
God bless The Director General National Youth Service Corps.
God bless National Youth Service Corps
God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Yours Sincerely
Comrade Alao John.

US blocks UN resolution on Gaza terrorists' rights to riot
The United States has blocked as resolution in the United Nations Security Council affirming the right of the so-called Palestinians to 'protest peacefully' and promoting Secretary-General António Guterres's call to hold an independent inquiry into the elimination of Muslim terrorists rioting, attacking IDF forces and attempting to infiltrate into Israel in order to murder Jews, as part of the 'march of return'.
This marked the second straight week the US blocked anti-Israeli measures in the Security Council relating to border riots.
A week after last Friday's violent riots, Hamas's so-called march of return continued with the 'Friday of the tires', with Muslim terrorists burning tires in eco-terrorism attacks in five locations along the security border fence with Gaza.
The IDF continued Friday to block Hamas attempts to breach the border fence from Gaza, after declaring the area a closed military zone.
Ten Muslim terrorists were eliminated after attempting to approach the security border fence. Gaza's Ministry of Health claimed a total of 300 injured.
Several attempts to damage or cross the border fence took place Friday afternoon under cover of the thick smoke emanating from the burning tires.
Attempts were also made to throw explosive charges and firebombs under the smoke's cover. All were thwarted by the IDF.

Monday round-up
For the Washington Examiner, Melissa Quinn reports that "[t]he U.S. Supreme Court will start its next term after a summer punctuated by mass shootings that left more than two dozen dead, heightening the impact of pending cases that focus on when civilians can carry weapons in public." Robert Barnes reports for The Washington Post that the court "must decide whether to press ahead with a Second Amendment case it has accepted for the coming term, its first in a decade," after "the city and state of New York … have essentially surrendered, changing the restrictions at issue even though the city successfully defended them before a district judge and a federal appeals court."
- At CNN, Catherine Valentine reports that "[t]he Justice Department has asked the Supreme Court to review and reverse what it describes firmly as a 'misunderstanding of the law'" in a lower-court ruling "that a five-year statute of limitations [on rape charges against members of the military] existed before 2006."
- At The Economist's Democracy in America blog, Steven Mazie looks at three cases the court will hear this fall that ask whether federal law protects employees from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, noting that although "[e]xpanding gay rights via an old statute might seem like a stretch for a Supreme Court with a five-justice conservative majority that now lacks Justice Anthony Kennedy, who authored four landmark opinions vindicating the rights of gay and lesbian people," "the most promising arguments running through four dozen briefs from the plaintiffs and their supporters do not try to push the justices toward any particularly radical ideas."
- In The New York Review of Books, David Cole reviews two books about the Supreme Court – "a carefully argued and disturbing portrait of how partisan politics threaten to engulf the Court" by Neal Devins and Lawrence Baum, and Joan Biskupic's biography of Chief Justice John Roberts, "at once a committed Republican with very conservative policy preferences and ties to the conservative community, and an institutionalist who cares deeply about the nonpartisan character of the Court."
We rely on our readers to send us links for our round-up. If you have or know of a recent (published in the last two or three days) article, post, podcast or op-ed relating to the Supreme Court that you'd like us to consider for inclusion in the round-up, please send it to roundup [at] scotusblog.com. Thank you!

Ungulates are divided between two orders: the Perissodactyla (odd-toed ungulates), represented in Britain solely by the domestic or semi-feral horse, and the Artiodactyla (even-toed ungulates), of which there are extinct and extant northeast England representatives wild, feral and domestic.
Red Deer Cervus elaphus, Roe Deer Capreolus capreolus, Elk Alces alces, Aurochs Bos primigenius and Wild Boar Sus scrofa are all represented as indigenous ungulates in the post glacial, Mesolithic fauna of northeast England. In Britain, Elk probably became extinct during the Mesolithic era possibly persisting into the Bronze Age; Aurochsen (wild cattle) are present in the Bronze Age and may have lingered to the Roman period (Harris and Yalden, 2008). The extinction of the Wild Boar is clouded by attempted re-introductions but it seems likely that extinction in the wild occurred around the end of the 13th century (Yalden, 1999). Extinction in all cases was probably exacerbated by deforestation and hunting by humans. Red and Roe Deer survived the deforestation, the Red as an emparked or feral animal; the Roe is now common in the wild, including in some urban locations.
The Neolithic period, around 5000 BP, saw the arrival of farming and agriculture spreading from the Middle East through Europe and bringing with it domestic ungulates, initially cattle (descendants of the Near Eastern form of the aurochs, Bos taurus taurus), sheep, goats and pigs, with farmed livestock supplanting wild ungulates as a primary human food source. This period saw the beginning of the long transition of Britain's landscape from woodland to farmland, grassland, heather moorland and blanket bog (Yalden, 1999). Wild ungulates however were, and still are, exploited for food and recreational hunting. The Bronze Age residents of the Heatheryburn Cave, near Stanhope, utilised both wild and domestic ungulates for food and raw materials (Greenwell, 1894). In the 12th century the bishops of Durham organised great deer hunts (Stephens, 1907), and in the first half of the 19th century stag hounds were kennelled at Chillingham Castle and Raby Castle, for the ritual hunting of deer as sport (Whitehead, 1980). Deer are still stalked and shot across the region for sport and food.
Reindeer Rangifer tarandus probably became extinct in Britain early in the Mesolithic period due to climate change and woodland expansion (Harris and Yalden, 2008). It is not represented in the North East other than as a somewhat eccentric attempt at re-introduction. In 1786, for a bet, Sir Henry St George Liddell, of Ravensworth Castle, set off on a tour of Lapland, and when he returned he brought with him two Lap maidens, "for the amusement of his friends", along with a small herd of Reindeer. The Lap maidens were given gifts and eventually repatriated, and the Reindeer bred in the castle grounds but died out some years later (Clark, 1981).
Wild Boar persist in local memory with two separate legends of knights who gained fame and fortune by killing ferocious boars. Sir Roger de Fery killed the boar (brawn) of Brawns Peth (path), fancifully the origin of the name Brancpeth (Ferryhill Local History Society website, 2012), and Richard Pollard killed the Pollard Brawn at Bishop Auckland (Mysterious Britain website, 2012). Although only stories they serve to illustrate how the boar was once a wild beast to be reckoned with in a pastoral society.
In the 1980s and 1990s free-range farming of Wild Boar became fashionable in the UK and they duly escaped from captivity, establishing themselves as feral populations in the south of England. Locally they are reported to have been living in Chopwell Wood in Gateshead (Goulding, 2003) and there are several local newspaper stories about escaped boar in the region. As yet there is no indication that they have become established locally. Currently one farm, in east Durham, contains American Bison Bison bison, which would make interesting escapees.
Further introductions of domestic and wild ungulates have taken place. Fallow Deer Dama dama were introduced to England by the Normans for hunting and as semi-domestic ornamental parkland animals. Feral Goats Capra hircus can still be found in the Cheviot Hills and the 20th century saw the introduction to England of the tiny Muntjac Deer Muntiacus reevesi, which is now spreading in our region.
Ungulates remain an essential resource for human exploitation; needs and fashions and how humans react to and exploit ungulates both wild and domestic is likely to contribute much to the shaping of the future landscapes of our region and of Britain.

Hey y'all 🙂
It's been another full day at the elephant sanctuary. We switched groups today so everyone who got a lot of elephant time yesterday, spent their morning weeding out the sugar cane fields and the farmer group from yesterday spent the morning completing the dam project started yesterday. The volunteers braved fire ants, spiky plants, and water they couldn't see the bottom of, but we have made a lot of progress on these projects. It may not seem like much but the more we plant, clean, and construct, the better it is for all of the animals (and plants) at the sanctuary! In the afternoon, group one did the seeding in order to plant more papaya trees. The other group finally got to bathe with the elephants (after having sat through 24 hours of the other group raving about how fun it is ;p)! It's an incredible experience to be in the water with these elephants, making sure they're staying cool and of course getting lots of watermelon in the process 🙂 I know the volunteers can't wait for Thursday to jump back in! And it wouldn't be a complete day if we didn't all come together to chop up fruit and feed the elephants! It was a quick feeding time today because it started down pouring and everyone was worried about their cameras haha. It ended up working out because the elephants scarfed down their food so quickly and once they finished their fruit, they moseyed back into the jungle to be free and wander, as they're meant to do 🙂

Stereotypes still exist even though gender equality is greatly advocated nowadays. This is also one of the causes of school bullying . For example, boys liking Barbie girls and girls not dressed cute tend to be excluded from their peers and even bullied by them. This work is hoped to show the fact that gender equality still needs more attention from people.

Today, I finished 29 out of the 58 "parks" for the book: "Day Hiking Tennessee." Interesting fact: of the 58, half will now have been hiked when the trees were leafless, although Spring flowers were beginning to show their faces, particularly violets, trillium, spring beauties and star flowers. And, the trees are in that first stage of leafing out with that delicate light green in the immature leaves. I'll finish with a few photos of some of the cool things I saw today:

Black cats may make you think of bad luck, but UPAWS has other ideas. The U.P. pet sanctuary is starting off the spring season with a unique opportunity for animal lovers.
UPAWS has dubbed all 31 days of May as Back in Black month. The event aims to bring awareness to "Black Dog Syndrome," a stigma that gives potential owners the impression that black animals don't make good pets. Across the nation, black animals are the least adopted. UPAWS hopes the increased exposure will curb that trend.
"We just want to shine the light on our black animals because we think they're awesome like all of our animals are. Love knows no color," UPAWS board vice president Ann Brownell said.
During the Back in Black campaign, black cats will have no adoption fee, and fees for black dogs will be half-price. UPAWS has many black animals up for adoption, including a nine-year-old dog named Jack.
"He is a character; he is almost like a little human, I think," Brownell said. "We love him to pieces."
Jack would need to be the only pet in the house, but he loves being around people of all ages. Shirley the cat is also looking for a home.
"She'd like a little quieter home, a lap to cuddle on, a window seat to watch those birdies outside," Brownell said, "She'll provide you with unconditional love."
Every animal at UPAWS is spayed and neutered, is up to date on shots, is microchipped and comes with 30 days of pet insurance. The Back in Black event isn't limited to the U.P. The nationwide promotion runs through May 31st.

Amazon this week announced a trial with American hotel chain Marriott to put Amazon Alexa's in select hotel rooms. A new service Amazon call 'Alexa for Hospitality'.
The trial will be across the full range of Amazon Echo devices. Hotel guests will be able to use Alexa to control the rooms smart lighting, set alarms as well as call reception and even order room service. Amazon shopping will be disabled.
The integration doesn't require guest to have their own account. However Amazon commented "soon" users will be able to temporarily sign into their own accounts allowing them to play their own music or listen to Audible books. Cleverly the sign in will be connected to the guests check in, automatically removing the account on check out.
Amazon commented the hotel will not be able to hear what Alexa has been asked or listen to interactions. This suggests a commercial management tool has been created as the current domestic solution does allow history playback.
It is unknown which smart lighting solution Marriott or Amazon are using for the trial. It will be interesting to see what solution is used as at present market leader Philips Hue does not have a commercial solution. Another option would be Alexa enabled smart light switches. This world potentially be cheaper to retro fit as no need to replace existing lights.
It's also unknown how many rooms are in the trial or if it will ever make its way to the U.K.
If you are lucky enough to stay in an Alexa enabled hotel room we would love to hear about it!

DUI Charges Pending For Two Potter County Drivers

probably stopped cuz the turn signal was flashing too fast or the license plate (My favorite Cop excuse) wasn't working. I got pulled over a few years ago for the license plate light literally an hour after I change it. Got out of the car, me and the cop looked at it and he says "It wasn't working when I pulled you over." Then asked if I was sure I wasn't on any drugs or alcohol. COPS IN PA ARE OUT OF CONTROL
- Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 3:16:00 AM EST
ever notice it is the same trooper every day. This post doesn't list his name but typically they do. Trooper V. Every DUI is reported as being picked up from him. I'm in no way saying you should drive drunk but I wonder if this guy is a bit over zealous.
- Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 11:05:00 AM EST
He must be doing his job then!!!
- Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 11:45:00 AM EST
if he was being "over zealous", then the court would find those arrested not guilty. If you had a loved one killed by a drunk driver, then you would say the officers should have been more proactive and stopped the driver before he killed your son, daughter, parent, or friend. Don't attack an officer for saving lives, attack every single person who gets behind the wheel after drinking any amount of alcohol.
- Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 12:02:00 PM EST
I wouldn't say he is over zealous. I would say he is doing a good job at keeping these drunken idiots off our roads. It drives me nuts when I hear some say, "I wouldn't have gotten a DUI if my tail light wasn't out". No, you wouldn't have gotten a DUI if you were not dumb enough to drink and then get behind the wheel. These complaints and excuses are ridiculous. DUI penalties are not harsh enough. A person gets a few years behind bars if they wave a gun in public but apparently a 4,000 pound missile traveling down the road at 55 mph is safer than that.
- Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 12:20:00 PM EST
Who cares if he is over zealous....he is getting these idiots off the road that put your life, and your loved ones, in danger. Maybe you should be saying "Good Job"!
Thank you to all the troopers! You are appreciated!
- Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 12:27:00 PM EST
Steven Jackson, I know just what your talking about. A few year's ago myself, I was on one of the back raods by Coudy, goin around a very sharp corner, I got pulled over by a state boy, I asked why he pulled me over he said I was speeding, I asked how I was speeding and if anything I was going way under the speed limit. Then he said well your light is out on your license plate, I stepped out and go to the back of my car and what is working, the light. I asked him are you going to make anything else up ? He didn't like that to much. He wrote me out a ticket for speeding. I took it to court and believe it or not I won..Their getting away with to much stuff, and it needs to stop.
- Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 12:44:00 PM EST
It's called quotas..........
- Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 2:42:00 PM EST
AMEN cops keep it up!! I agree with the above comments If your loved one was killed by drunk drive you would be bitching that they don't do enough. The only way to not get caught is not to do the crime!!! I think laws need to be stronger.
- Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 3:37:00 PM EST
galeton has a cop.go somewhere else.without a cop.do your real job.ulysses,potterbrooke,harrisonvalley.gold...mills,westpike..just to name a couple..why did he stop them in the first place....
- Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 9:28:00 PM EST
A couple of years ago I was stopped just off of Rte 6. They'd followed me in to a store down there and than went across the street and waited for me to leave. They followed me and stopped me. Said I'd was pulling out on the road before I'd turn my head lights on all the way.
At first it had up set them that I'd opened my door. The window was frozen and I couldn't open it. The Officer got in my face and said I was being taped and started asking me all kinds of question. The one a few times was;" Have you been drinking." No; No; and no!! This was while Snowmobiles were running by on RTE 6. After all was said and done, a half hour later I was given a Warning on my lights not being turn on as I was pulling out of the store.
Now ;"was I upset about what they did." H*** NO! I got a chuckle out of it. Three Troops and the Local Cop out doing their job's.
All I have to say is; they do a good job and I back them 100% and you people should too. If you want to get Mouthy when you are stopped, well than eat the ticket!!!! You have it coming.
- Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 10:17:00 PM EST
As a fireman and EMT I say pulled them over the more the merrier! Ive been pulled over quite a few times in my day! I deserved everyone of them for speeding. I WILL NOT drink and drive1 Ive seen to much crap and watched to many people die! I think anyone who gets a DUI should be required to do most of the community service in the ER so they can see the damages from car wrecks maybe it would wake some people the hell up
- Friday, January 27, 2012 at 9:14:00 AM EST
You people are funny. I don't advocate drunk driving but how liberal some of you have become over "what if's" is amazingly disgusting. What IF a drunk killed your loved one? What IF your kids are killed because a teen driver was texting? What IF Grandpa Smith fell asleep at the wheel and killed a loved one? What IF a local cop shot at and actually hit what he was aiming for,and killed a loved one for a misdemeanor?? What if, what if, what if??!?!?
Cops ARE overzealous. They no longer approach the job as a "service" but a job. Driving under the influence is illegal but so is harassing motorists under the pretense that they might have been drinking. You people who advocate this are liberal morons who are a huge part of what is wrong with our nation as a whole.
I too have been stopped for my "license plate light being out" only to find that it suddenly repaired itself. Some of you may be okay with this type of deceit and violation of your liberties. I am not.
I am all for police doing their job through good old fashion police work but their underhanded methods will catch up with them eventually.
Most are too arrogant to believe that, most have the liberal sheep standing behind them, but too many police officers are committing these abuses. And there are plenty of citizens who still wish to have their freedoms intact, their civil liberties untouched, and they are taking notice.
So I say, remember you're a public servant, it's not all about the money, and do your service traveling north by the moral compass. And too the liberal horde...pack your bags, move to Iran, China, or some place that your ideologies will fit right in.

MADISON, Fla. – The Florida Department of Law Enforcement arrested a Madison County High School teacher on Wednesday on one count of sexual battery by person in custodial authority.
Geoffrey Walter Hill, 42, was booked into jail and held on $250,000 bond.
FDLE said agents began investigating Hill after receiving a complaint from an individual alleging to have been sexually abused by Hill. Hill, a band instructor at Madison County High School, was suspended by the Madison County School District superintendent upon his arrest.
Agents believe there may be additional unidentified victims. Anyone with information about this case or Geoffrey Walter Hill is urged to contact the FDLE Live Oak Field Office at 386-330-2840.
