WASHINGTON • The order to withdraw American troops from Syria has been signed, the US military said, after President Donald Trump and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan agreed to prevent a power vacuum in the wake of the controversial move.
The announcement that US troops would leave the civil war-torn country - where they have been deployed to assist in the multinational fight against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group - shocked global partners and American politicians alike.
"The execute order for Syria has been signed," said a US military spokesman on Sunday, when asked about the withdrawal order, without providing further details.
Turkey was a rare ally that lauded Mr Trump's momentous call on Syria, a country where it will now have a freer rein to target US-allied Kurdish fighters who have played a key role in the anti-ISIS war but are deemed terrorists by Ankara.
Mr Trump and Mr Erdogan spoke by phone on Sunday and "agreed to ensure coordination between their countries' military, diplomatic and other officials to avoid a power vacuum which could result following any abuse of the withdrawal and transition phase in Syria", the Turkish presidency said in a statement.
Hours earlier, Mr Trump had tweeted that he and Mr Erdogan "discussed (ISIS), our mutual involvement in Syria, & the slow & highly coordinated pullout of US troops from the area".
US politicians and allies fear the pullout would further destabilise the already devastated region.
A US withdrawal, said Mr Mutlu Civiroglu, a Kurdish affairs analyst, will open the way "for Turkey to start its operations against the Kurds, and a bloody war will begin".
French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday said he "deeply regretted" Mr Trump's decision, and that "an ally must be reliable".
US troops will leave under the watch of a new Pentagon chief next month, after Mr James Mattis resigned from the post citing key differences, including on Syria, with the often-impulsive Mr Trump.
Several US politicians from the Republican and Democratic parties rejected Mr Trump's claim that ISIS had been defeated, and the decision also caused alarm and dismay in the US military over the prospect of suddenly abandoning Washington's Kurdish partners.
Mr Trump's sudden decision also sparked turmoil within his administration, prompting the resignation of Mr Brett McGurk, the special envoy to the anti-ISIS coalition.
Plans for the troop withdrawal will be overseen by Deputy Secretary of Defence Patrick Shanahan, who Mr Trump on Sunday said would replace Mr Mattis on Jan 1.
Mr Shanahan has never served in the military. He spent over three decades working for Boeing, including as vice-president and general manager of Boeing Missile Defence Systems, before moving to the Pentagon as deputy last year.
He will lead plans for US troops to leave Syria along with a drastic drawdown in Afghanistan, both of which critics worry will leave war-torn regions at risk of continued bloodshed.

We had three Fourth Grade teams coached by Ms. K. Calloura, and three Fifth Grade teams coached by Ms. T. Crabb. Also representing our school was the Glasscock County 4H Team comprised of GCISD Third Graders coached by Ms. K. Schwartz and Ms. L. Baker. The kids had a great time and their 'bots' performed well. This meet was a chance for the teams to get a sneak peak of what the competition will be like, what fine tuning of their bots need to be made, and to see what point-getting tasks are needed to improve their score before the State Qualifying Meet back at Lee HS on Saturday April 13th. Great job students and coaches!

Just back from Berlin, where we sampled the highlights of the city, and the wienerschnitzel, the currywurst, and the odd cocktail or two… A great city, with so much to see and a nice vibe. Modern, but so much of the city either a celebration or a memorial to the past. The Reichstag (and dome), the East Side Gallery were standout attractions, as was the Jewish Museum by architect Daniel Leibskind. More images to follow of those photogenic places!
We walked a long way to find this bar nicknamed, Bambi. Maybe the antlers over the bar were ironic, but there was a huge painting of the little deer on the wall. Berlin was also the first full outing for the Fuji X100 – its the perfect city camera. A few gripes, but probably down to user error! More to follow on that… This shot was taken in super low light at 3200 ISO, at a tenth of a second (handheld!), at f2.8 – and I've added the film grain!

Planning for winter feeding becomes complicated in 2013
Many producers haven't restocked to pre-drought cow numbers, and the welcomed rains have resulted in excess forage. When frost arrives this fall, there will be abundant standing forage in many areas, but the quality will be more extreme than we typically encounter.

The Cook Islands Police Service is expected to take full control of its new patrol boat, a Guardian Class vessel in 2022.
Commissioner Maara Tetava anticipated the competition as he received a scale model of the new vessel being built in Australia, to be gifted to the Police Service.
Spokesman Trevor Pitt says this was given by the Australian Defence advisor to the Cook Islands, captain Christine Clarke gifted the model of the vessel last week during annual Defence Cooperation Programme talks.
The new vessel will replace the 30 year-old Te Kukupa that was received around 1989. The vessel has been monitoring the Cook Islands and wider Pacific Ocean, to combat crime such as illegal fishing.
Meanwhile, the defence talks were a chance for the parties to consider broadening opportunities for maritime careers.
Police spokesman Trevor Pitt said: "With the support and assistance of the Australian Navy and government, the handover of the new vessels for the Pacific comes at a time of strengthened gender equity and career opportunity at sea."
Captain Clarke took time to meet and talk with members of the Police Women's Advisory Network who have been very supportive of local policewomen, encouraging the development of closer ties and networks through the annual Sevens' Tournament in Australia, as well as training opportunities for the women to advance their professional careers.
"While there are no present restrictions on women signing up for the Maritime Division, there are improved developments ahead to accommodate and facilitate serving women into patrol boat duties."
Including the Cook Islands, the boat replacement programme from Australia costs AU$335m for 21 new patrol vessels to be gifted to 12 Pacific Islands and one to East Timor.

Kitchens allow for limitless options for interior decorating. These rooms are the centerpiece of any home, and can be transformed into basically any style. From sleek and modern to quaint and country, you can choose from hundreds of different designs. If you're looking to turn your kitchen into something unique, read this blog post for a few theme ideas!
Modern or contemporary-style kitchens are all about being clean and sleek. Stainless-steel appliances and fixtures exemplify this style. Every element must be simple and orderly – the flooring is plain, cabinets are flat, and countertops have straight, square edges. Window treatments and light fixtures are also bare and minimalist. Décor is sparse to avoid cluttering; we recommend adding a few eye-catching pieces throughout, such as a flower bouquet, artwork, or large windows. Homeowners with contemporary kitchens tend to use grayscale colors over warm, earthy tones, and often pair light and dark colors together to create depth and draw you in.
Tip: For an added touch, install open shelving to neatly display cooking tools and dinnerware.
Cottage Kitchen
If you love the quaint, cozy feeling of kitchens you see in fairytale books, a cottage style is right for you! Wood is a key material because of its natural, earthy tones. These kitchens have painted or weathered wood cabinets and board paneling for the walls or ceiling. Butcher block countertops take the place of traditional granite, and open shelves are used to display cooking ware, ingredients, or country-themed decorations. To achieve a casual, rustic atmosphere, use a wooden cart or table and pull up some wooden barstools for seating.
Tip: Try adding a pop of color to reflect the hues of nature, such as sunshine yellow, sky blue, fresh apricot, or grassy green.
Coastal Kitchen
You don't have to live near the sea to have a coastal kitchen! This style is great for those who want to bring the ocean to them. When you are designing a coastal kitchen, think light and airy. Open windows are a must to filter in natural light, while many lighting fixtures make it look even brighter. Cabinets and countertops can be either white or gray, depending on how bright or dark you want your kitchen to be. These kitchens have a calming color scheme of varying blue hues mixed with creams, whites, and golds. Mismatched metals add appeal, so feel free to pair stainless steel appliances with gold or champagne faucets and lighting fixtures.
Tip: Using a whicker material for seating and reclaimed wood for countertops, tables, or islands adds that perfect nautical touch.
Paris Bistro
Get the flavor of France without ever leaving your home with a Paris bistro theme! Paris has a famous dining culture that has made its way into kitchens all over the world. To achieve this café style, install some window awnings and simple tile flooring. French restaurants usually have zinc countertops, so make that your material of choice. Décor is important – get some casual, rattan bistro chairs, French advertisement posters, and chalkboards to display today's menu.
Tip: Paris bistros typically have intimate lighting. Install fixtures that give off a soft glow to make guests feel warm and welcome. Chandeliers, sconces, and table lamps are perfect to avoid harsh, glaring light.
Modern Farmhouse
Modern farmhouse kitchens perfectly mix old and new with both rustic and modern décor. Using reclaimed wood is a must – barn doors, antique décor, and farmhouse sinks will easily complete the look of your kitchen. Pendent lighting and chandeliers are great for low lighting and ambiance, while colors like red or turquoise can accent the room. These kitchens focus on the details and allow much room for creativity for everything from the appliances to the countertops. If you want a darker kitchen, use chocolate brown wood for cabinets and tables, black appliances, and light gray countertops and backsplashes. If you want a lighter kitchen, opt for white cabinets, gray backsplashes, and stainless steel appliances.
Tip: Add wood beams to the ceiling to make your kitchen look like a revamped barn house!
Kitchens come in many shapes, sizes, and styles. You have the freedom to transform this room into anything from a seaside getaway to a classy French café. If you're looking to do some renovations, call on Chesapeake Kitchen Design. Our team is dedicated to building the kitchen of your dreams!

Before they acquired right down to enterprise for the day, college students in Devin Tatro's social research class had been supplied a quiet second of self-reflection: On this golden fall afternoon at Nome-Beltz Junior/Senior High School, had been they feeling chipper, distressed, or someplace in between?
About 20 college students gazed at their laptops, a web-based ballot open on every display. One by one, they chose the image of the facial features that greatest matched their temper, and with a swift click on despatched a solution to the trainer. She scanned the responses and made just a few psychological notes. Then, with out lacking a beat, she switched the smartboard show and launched right into a multiple-choice quiz utilizing a game-based on-line studying platform known as Kahoot!
"Tell me one thing you remember about yesterday's lesson on expansions and tax on Native Americans," Tatro mentioned, pacing the entrance of the classroom. She rattled off college students' responses as they popped up on the smartboard in a colourful phrase cloud: "Forced relocation, reduced population, disease, warfare, cultural destruction … wow, that's a powerful term."
The trade appeared designed to seize—and retain—college students' consideration.
Just two years in the past, the IT workers at Nome Public Schools would have strongly discouraged this sort of lesson, lest it pressure the bandwidth shared by the district's 720 college students and 100 workers members. At that point, a YouTube video took two minutes to buffer. And neglect a long-distance video name, one of many few methods children on this distant district not removed from the Arctic Circle can work together with college students exterior their very own college. That would have introduced all the things—electronic mail, on-line testing, cloud-based data programs and scholar analysis—to a halt.
But the way forward for instructional expertise right here is beginning to emerge from a pixelated previous. Nome and two different college districts in northwestern Alaska are pioneering a high-speed fiber-optic cable connection that has the potential to remodel how training is delivered within the state—and shrink a connectivity hole between rural Alaska and the vast majority of American colleges. The nice irony is that the multimillion-dollar cable was planted within the Arctic by an Anchorage-based telecommunications firm thanks, largely, to world warming.
Slowest Internet within the Country
Alaska's 133,000 college students are scattered throughout 53 college districts, many positioned in huge stretches of roadless terrain. Like Nome (inhabitants 3,800), perched on the coast 540 miles northwest of Anchorage, many communities are disconnected from the remainder of the state, with solely two choices for transporting folks and issues—air or barge. A $500 round-trip flight to Anchorage or Fairbanks for trainer coaching, or a robotics event, or a school go to, is a tough promote for districts fighting the influence of a statewide recession. Roughly 14 p.c of youngsters statewide dwell in poverty.
Given this difficult panorama, it's a matter of consensus right here that strong, video-based distance-learning applications are essential to making ready college students for school and careers. Yet Alaska ranks final within the nation within the p.c of its college districts assembly the minimal internet-speed targets set by the Federal Communications Commission, in response to the nonprofit EducationSuperHighapproach.
Most college students within the Lower 48 can put up movies on their colleges' web sites or obtain assignments in a matter of seconds. That's not a given in rural Alaska. Debilitating slowdowns and districtwide outages in previous years have been so widespread that some Nome lecturers put together two lesson plans per class—one to make use of if the web cooperates and one which requires solely textbooks.
The costly and sometimes gradual microwave and satellite tv for pc connections that Nome and surrounding districts have lengthy relied on have "really limited what teachers could do," mentioned Jacob Phillips, Nome colleges' director of expertise.
The challenge boils right down to bandwidth. The area's restricted infrastructure and the large expense of laying fiber-optic cables that may deal with high-bandwidth duties like video streaming, and the minimal competitors within the Alaska telecommunications market, imply that rural northwestern districts like Nome have traditionally paid tens of hundreds of {dollars} extra for a lot much less bandwidth than their centrally positioned counterparts.
But final 12 months, when the district switched to the fiber connection, it acquired a 25 p.c enhance in bandwidth for about 20 p.c of the earlier price, in response to Phillips.
"Our goal is to hopefully broaden [students'] view of the world," mentioned Phillips, who has three kids, together with two who attend district colleges. "If they do go to school outside of Nome, or go to work outside of Nome, they've had some exposure to different cultures, different places."
Linking Alaska to the World
Starting in 2012, an thought floated round Alaska that appeared preposterous. Slightly-known Anchorage-based firm known as Quintillion was launching a multimillion-dollar business enterprise with help from a New York private-equity agency. The final purpose: Establish fast underwater pathways between world commerce facilities, connecting an Alaska department (section one) to Asia (section two) and the United Kingdom (section three).
While there's a public-spirited aspect to the corporate's connectivity mission, the enterprise is aimed squarely at worldwide inventory merchants who may, sometime, hook into the fiber to shave milliseconds off their transaction speeds—a prospect price tens of millions of {dollars}.
Phase one was accomplished in 2017 and price a reported $250 million. Crews buried 1,200 miles of fiber-optic cable below the seabed alongside the state's northwestern slope, from Nome to Prudhoe Bay. The cables drape across the north coast of the state; arms prolong off the primary line into small coastal communities together with Nome, Kotzebue, Point Hope, Wainwright, and Utqiagvik, the place residents and companies are progressively having access to the fiber. A separate 500-mile underground cable hyperlinks Prudhoe Bay to an present fiber unit in Fairbanks.
In March, Nome Public Schools grew to become the primary college district to hook up with the cable, officers mentioned; over the summer time, the neighboring North Slope Borough and Northwest Arctic Borough college districts joined as effectively. In some instances, districts left Alaska telecommunications big GCI for competing web service suppliers with a purpose to get entry to wholesaler Quintillion's fiber, shaking up the stagnant native market.
The fiber-optic route exists right here largely due to world warming, which has led to Arctic Sea ice inching farther away from Alaska's shoreline every season. Rural Alaska Native communities are grappling with the existential results—erosion, lack of vital meals sources like seals, and concern that the traditions they've fought to maintain over centuries will slip away. But sooner, extra inexpensive broadband may assist college students navigate the consequences of local weather change evident in their very own backyards.
"There's some real potential for kids in rural areas in Alaska to use computer science and coding as a career path," mentioned Sam Jordan, training expertise coordinator on the state training division. In flip, he hopes they are going to be empowered to make use of their expertise to take care of their very own communities.
'We're Going to Improve Our Writing Scores'
The sooner bandwidth is already setting the stage for educational enchancment, officers mentioned. With extra bandwidth to go round this 12 months, Lisa Leeper, principal of Nome's sole constitution college, mentioned she had lastly launched a digital writing program that enables her fifth- by eighth-graders to work by the fabric at their very own tempo, as lecturers monitor particular person progress.
"I can almost guarantee we're going to improve our writing scores this year … because I'm able to reach everyone in the areas they need help," she mentioned. "That's possible because of these new technologies."
And Tatro, the highschool social research trainer, mentioned the interactive expertise is critical to organize college students for the workforce. "There's barely any industry now that you can enter that doesn't utilize the computer," she mentioned.
Seniors like Abby Tozier are reaping the advantages of a greater connection whereas taking dual-credit programs supplied by the University of Alaska Fairbanks satellite tv for pc campus in Nome.
"I'm not trying to build the biggest, baddest network. I just want to create some equity for my students."
Amy Eakin, expertise director, Northwest Arctic Borough Schools
Earlier this fall, Tozier's teacher needed to journey for her different job and was educating from afar. "She's been doing Google Hangouts with us online, which is super convenient," Tozier mentioned.
Another enchancment: Online testing, which takes up a number of weeks every year, not forces a "lockdown" on different web exercise, like video streaming, mentioned Amy Eakin, director of expertise for the Northwest Arctic Borough district. With better bandwidth, the September spherical of testing went easily, she mentioned, and lecturers had been free to "teach as they would normally."
The Final Frontier
As the Quintillion fiber venture was underway in 2016 and 2017, Alaska was already making strides in connecting tens of hundreds extra college students by present microwave, satellite tv for pc, and fiber networks. As of October 2018, 83 p.c of districts may entry the web on the FCC's 2014 minimal advisable pace of 100 kilobits per second per scholar, up from 42 p.c of districts in 2015, in response to EducationSuperHighapproach. (Nationwide, median bandwidth exceeds 500 kilobits per second per scholar, the group reported in October.)
Still, rural districts that stretch throughout hundreds of sq. miles of inhospitable terrain, like Northwest Arctic Borough (which is roughly the dimensions of Indiana), have an extended climb forward of them as they work towards extra equitable and inexpensive broadband. Statewide, districts have been pressured to chop budgets because of flat state help allotments and rising well being care prices.
As a lot as 90 p.c of the fee for college web entry is roofed by federal E-rate funds. But as a result of all the things prices extra in rural areas, northwest Alaska districts nonetheless should stretch their budgets to cowl the remaining 10 p.c, in response to officers. Eakin mentioned that her district was in a position to improve its bandwidth affordably solely due to entry to Quintillion's cheaper fiber. As a consequence, the district is lastly close by of the FCC's 2014 goal pace, she mentioned.
"I'm not trying to build the biggest, baddest network. I just want to create some equity for my students."
More bandwidth, in fact, is all the time higher. The demand grows every year as extra core educational applications go digital. And the FCC's 2017–18 goal pace for colleges is 10 occasions better than the 2014 goal, or 1 megabit per second per scholar, which the company recommends is greatest for distant instruction and heavy video collaboration.
In Nome, veteran trainer Colleen Johnson mused over all that's modified since she began her profession in rural Alaska in 1992. On one fall afternoon, she led her seventh- and eighth-graders on a uncommon Skype "field trip" with a visitor educator in Virginia. The audio dropped out just a few occasions, a minor glitch. If the district may afford to double or triple its bandwidth, she mentioned, she would eagerly collaborate with different lecturers and college students through dwell video stream "at least once a week."
"The most engaging lessons I've ever had were when we connected with other classrooms through Skype, and I've done that a couple times," Johnson mentioned. "The students just light up getting to …" She paused for a second to accommodate a sudden swell of emotion, then continued, "getting to connect with other kids from around the country."

There are many fantastic soccer (football in Europe) games on the market, but there's really none quite like Score! Hero! Whereas other games attempt to be as realistic as you can, this one puts focus on your travels.
And whereas other soccer games make it feasible to play as legendary soccer titles, this game enables you to become a legend yourself!
Sports is among the few gaming categories where developers find it somewhat difficult to be innovative. That's why when a match such as Score! Hero is created, it deserves our particular attention. Play it Safe in The Beginning
In Score! Hero you begin as tough, yet fully anonymous player who warms the bench of a small club. You're going to get your chance in the bench, and we recommend that you play with your balls safe when starting out.
You will quickly become the super-sub your club wants, and eventually the very first team player, so keep your soccer art for when it is really needed!
2. Don't Forget to Zoom out it
Now to the more risky stuff!
Once you have mastered the art of safe departure, you are going to become more and more picky with all the passes and shots you're going to play. Since the default camera the match is utilizing may fall a little short of providing you all of the passage choices, we'd suggest that you zoom it out a little, just enough to get the crystal clear view of all of the players on the pitch.
3. Learn how to Assist
Sure enough, the game's focus is on you along with the functionality you put in. But make no mistake, the objective of the game is not to get the most goals for your player; in other words, you're not getting to the best if you don't understand the merits of group play.
That is not to say you shouldn't have the opportunity of becoming the celebrity player if the chance presents itself, since you need to, All we are saying here is that you should put the success of this group before your personal data.
But hey, if you want all of the glory for yourself, that's cool with us!
4. Curve Your Shots
Ever dreamed of scoring a screamer in the upper left corner of the internet? We also.
As it often is on the real pitch, scoring a blasting goal in Score! Hero is way more effective (and if you ask us, way more beautiful!) When you place a curved shot in the back of the internet.
It is not easy to perform, but maybe not easy for the goalie to parry as well. Curl your shots and make goalkeepers work for it!
5. Practice Shooting From the Corner
The game will put you in different football scenarios to take advantage of, situations that also consist of shooting from a angle.
These do not automatically imply corner kicks (though you need to focus you attention on them, also ), however any scenario in which you end up drifting the ball from the face of the pitch.
If you're following a spectacular goal in the angle, you better aim away from the goalie. He will have a more difficult time catching your chunk.
6. Earn Some Cash ; Then Some More
The money will come naturally during your playthrough. But as it happens, this money may not be adequate to unlock the qualities that you desire.
There are fortunately a few alternative ways to get a few extra coins and these include seeing an ad video every once in a while and connecting your match to your Facebook account.
Ok, now you have all that money, you wonder exactly what to invest it on! We'll tell you some thing better, and that's what NOT to invest it on. Don't waste it on the rewinds!
Just don't. There are a good deal more useful ways to spend it all on. And besides, you are going to get a few random free rewinds during the course of your game. Watch for them and use them wisely!
8. Replay the Degrees to Get 3 Stars
Score! Hero includes a well-known system of 3 celebrities that estimate how well you accomplished the job in hand. Unless you are a genuine prodigy, you probably won't be able to hit the 3 celebrities score the first time you play a level. Don't be too fretted about it.
You can always replay a point and nail it!

According to a statement released by the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) Monday, motor carriers across Canada are being hit hard by sky rocketing insurance costs, and shippers 'should expect to hear from their carriers soon.'
"Like the escalating cost of fuel, there is no quick solution to this problem. Ultimately, carriers will have to deal with their insurance providers and their customers. Our job is simply to make shippers and carriers aware of the situation," said David Bradley, the CEO of the Alliance.
Even where the carrier believes it has maintained an excellent loss ratio, many carriers from across the country are complaining about massive increases in liability insurance premiums Increases of 40% to 50% are common and 100% to 200% increases are not unheard of, says the CTA.
The increases are blamed on several factors. First, capacity reductions mean the number of insurance companies willing to write truck liability insurance has shrunk in those markets that rely upon private insurers. In the US this problem is particularly acute, says the CTA, and insurance costs for carriers operating into the US are increasing significantly.
September 11 has had an obvious impact on reinsurance, with pay-outs from the tragedy expected to be in the several tens of billions of dollars. The reserves of the entire insurance industry have apparently been dramatically reduced and will have to be rebuilt. This has severely constrained the reinsurance market, pushing up premiums.
Also, the insurance industry's profitability is down, because revenue generated from insurance industry investments are down. These investments are a major source of profits for the insurance industry.
Bradley says that ultimately the increased cost should be reflected in freight rates. There is some talk of insurance surcharges being applied, although it is not clear how that would be calculated.
"It would be tough to develop a general formula for the entire industry. Things really need to be examined on a case-by-case basis – every carrier's claims/loss experience, deductible and level of self-insurance will be different. All CTA is attempting to do is to raise awareness and continue to push for meaningful safety measures and incentives for the responsible, safe operators."
The insurance increases, says Bradley, could have some positive impact however.
"We are told that some carriers with poor safety performance are learning they cannot even find anyone to write them an insurance policy. The sooner those carriers are out of the industry the better it will be for everyone," he says.

To say that there has been a lot of questions about the well-being of legendary comic creator Stan Lee would be an understatement. From legal issues, to allegations of elder abuse, to restraining orders filed against his former business manager, there has been a lot to unpack about Lee's situation. Now, it appears that the question of who is really behind his social media accounts has finally be answered.
Pow! Entertainment's Amazing Stan Lee Tee T Shirt Ladies
In a statement released today, Pow! Entertainment's Amazing Stan Lee Tee T Shirt, are now behind all of the Spider-Man co-creator's social media accounts, including Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter — and also revealed that Lee hasn't been in charge of his own Twitter account for the past few months. Someone else has.
"To help Stan continue the tradition started with Stan's Soapbox, Pow! Entertainment's Amazing Stan Lee Tee T Shirt
Back in May, a post to Lee's official Twitter account indicated that he had written his first real tweet for himself. It was then followed up with a tweet that someone had "hijacked" his other social media accounts, appealing to fans to help him get his accounts back. However, despite posts featuring videos of Lee addressing his followers, many fans began to question whether Lee was really operating the account with many suspecting that Keya Morgan, his then-business manager, was behind things — a concern that became a little sharper when the account was suddenly scrubbed of most of its followers save for Morgan and a few major geek-sphere celebrities.
Then, on June 10th, a video was posted to the account of Lee declaring Morgan to be his "only partner and business manager" and went silent until POW!'s statement today — timing curious considering that Morgan was arrested on suspicion of filing a false report with the Los Angeles Police Department just a few days later while a restraining order against Morgan was filed on behalf of Lee as well. Today's statement from POW! somewhat addresses those posts as well as others made during the roughly two-month time frame in question, stating that the posts were "falsely presented".
The statement also noted that the "questionable" tweets would remain on the account for now for undisclosed reasons. Considering that a second restraining order has been filed against Morgan — the first was dismissed as it was filed by parties not representing Lee — it's likely the tweets remain in connection to claims in the filing.
Today's statement comes just days after Lee officially dismissed his $1 billion lawsuit against POW! The Marvel creator had originally felt that he was conned into signing over the rights to his name and likeness, however POW! called this suit into question when reports came around stating that Lee was the victim of elder abuse, and others were making business decisions for him. Now, it seems that things have been worked out.
"The whole thing has been confusing to everyone, including myself and the fans, but I am now happy to be surrounded by those who want the best for me," Lee said about the dismissal in a statement. "I am thrilled to put the lawsuit behind me, get back to business with my friends and colleagues at POW! and launch the next wave of amazing characters and stories." Pow!

Valley Metro CEO Banta tries to rescind resignation
Valley Metro CEO Steven Banta is trying to rescind his resignation.
Embattled Valley Metro CEO Stephen Banta has asked to rescind his resignation, saying he was pressured to quit last week by Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton's office before an article was published in The Arizona Republic about his questionable business expenses.
Phoenix City Councilwoman Thelda Williams, a member of the two transit boards that will convene Thursday to consider Banta's fate, said they may choose only to accept his original resignation letter and not his request to rescind it. If Banta is fired, his contract requires that he be paid a severance package.
Banta, in a Tuesday letter to the transit board chairs, said he had brokered a secret deal with Seth Scott, Stanton's policy chief of staff, and Deputy City Manager Mario Paniagua in exchange for a hasty resignation on Nov. 24. Banta's letter states the two city officials agreed in a meeting that morning that if he resigned, he could stay in his current $264,493-a-year job until January and then become a paid consultant.
Following that meeting, Banta wrote, he agreed to quit. He sent Paniagua, who oversees public transit and light rail, a text message saying the stated reason for the resignation would be the recent passage of ballot Proposition 104. Prop 104 was a voter-approved sales tax increase to expand transit services. Banta's text message also said he would cite the need for new vision and leadership at Valley Metro.
Banta's Tuesday letter to the transit boards goes on to say Paniagua agreed to the language that would be used to announce the resignation. He said Paniagua told him if he quit immediately, a consulting agreement for full pay and benefits would run through April 30, 2016.
Banta subsequently announced his resignation without mentioning The Republic's investigation of his expenses. Stanton's office issued a statement wishing Banta well as he sought "new challenges."
The Republic, as it prepared to publish a story on Banta's expenses, became aware on Nov. 24 that he had quit. The newspaper published a story around noon that day on azcentral.com about his abrupt resignation. It detailed how Banta had flown first class, stayed in expensive hotels and bought alcohol with Valley Metro funds. Banta defended his expenses, saying it was part of doing business as Valley Metro CEO. The Republic later reported that Banta collected entertainment expenses for meals that the guests told the newspaper they never attended.
The mayor has been a strong proponent of public-transit expansion, once chairing the light-rail board. His office viewed Banta's expenses as an embarrassment to the city.
"Mr. Banta's behavior initially appeared to be exceptionally poor judgment, but as we learn new information, it appears as though he engaged in an alarming pattern of fraud and deception that continues to this day," Stanton said Wednesday in a written statement. "Now, after bilking taxpayers through expense reports, he is attempting to again collect a windfall he doesn't deserve. I fully support the city's audit of Valley Metro records, and trust the boards will swiftly address the situation."
Neither Banta nor four Valley Metro spokeswomen would answer questions regarding Banta's request to rescind his resignation.
Scott and Paniagua in interviews Wednesday disputed Banta's letter, saying it's misleading.
The two said they tried to encourage Banta to resign in order to save taxpayers' money because Valley Metro may have to pay him a full-year's salary if he's fired.
They also said Banta was aware before he resigned that any exit proposal would need approval from Valley Metro's two boards, and that Phoenix didn't have the power to solely approve a deal even though it's the biggest player in Valley Metro.
"It was not an agreement. It was an indication that Phoenix would be supportive of a proposal that he would make to the Valley Metro boards," Scott said. "We were supportive of that prior to revelations that he engaged in potentially fraudulent activities…We were doing it on a pro-active basis because that would be the best way for taxpayers."
Scott and Paniagua said Banta voluntarily submitted his resignation after he knew Mayor Stanton no longer would support him.
Banta, in his Tuesday letter to the transit boards, wrote that after submitting his resignation effective in January, Paniagua claimed he didn't have the authority to cut such a deal, that only the two Valley Metro boards could do so.
"On reflection, I believe I was hurried into my resignation decision," Banta's letter says. "Moreover, I believe it was neither in either Valley Metro or my best interest to resign under such pressure. Therefore, I am withdrawing my letter of resignation."
Banta also wrote that he wants to discuss the matter at the special joint meeting Thursday of the two Valley Metro boards.
Banta reports to the two boards, which are composed of Valley elected officials. One is the 16-member board that oversees public transit throughout Maricopa County. The other is a five-member light-rail board.
Williams, treasurer of the larger board and chair of the light-rail board, said "all of the cities are very upset about this, and they are struggling to understand what is going on. It will be an interesting meeting."
If the boards fire Banta, that could trigger a provision in his contract that calls for him to receive one year of severance pay in addition to his accumulated annuity and any unused paid time off.
Since publishing its initial story, The Republic also has found Banta was reimbursed $2,243 in public funds for nine dinners around the country in which the guests he claimed to be entertaining on behalf of Valley Metro said they didn't attend. The meals cost from $121 to $477.
Questions about Banta's expenses prompted Phoenix to call for a special audit of all employee travel and expenses at Valley Metro since January 2010, when Banta starting working there.

Wow, how we all have a different perspective on teachers. In reply to Larry's remarks on Don Prouty. I thought he was one of my two favorite teachers, the other being, Bill Allen. In 1962, Don Prouty was making $4750 per year, he asked for a $300 a year raise and was turned down. I liked him so much that I went to the businesses in town, seeking donations, so that Mr. Prouty would stay. I got a little over $7.00, evidently the people in town did not have the same affection for Don Prouty as I did. I gave it to him and he bought a pair of golf shoes. Don Prouty contacted me in 1990 and we have continued a wonderful relationship since, as a matter of fact, I just received a Christmas letter from him and his wonderful wife, Bernie. I have visited with he and his wife in Bismarck many times over the years. He and I have enjoyed many rounds of golf. I wonder how many other people have that type of relationship with a school teacher after 50 years? I feel so blessed to have had Don Prouty as my teacher, coach, mentor and friend. Dunseith was a better place because of him and many other fine teachers that we were blessed to have. Merry Christmas to all.
Hi Tim,
I've really enjoyed all the e-mails – brings back a lot of memories. Also makes me wonder what the heck I was doing when all those things were going on! Has anyone brought up 'Beer Can Alley'?
I saw your question about Deer Heart Lodge – it was up in the hills not far from Mary & Chester Hill. Marvel may have some info on it, her brother Kenny used to live there after it ceased to be an attraction for the public. She could probably answer any questions.
My Mom still talks about her visit to Alaska and how glad she was to be able to talk with you. She enjoyed reminiscing about your Dad and others. Mom just turned 90 and is doing very well. She's now living in the Haaland Home in Rugby, so if you ever pass by that way stop in and say hi.
My oldest son spent 2 1/2 years near Eagle, Alaska. He just left a couple months ago. I was hoping he'd stay longer so we could make another trip up there but it wasn't to be. Now that Mom sold her house and land in Dunseith I probably won't go back there much. Will be spending time in North Dakota on the farms with Pennie and Joanne.
Keep the memories going in your dialogues with Gary Stokes et al. I'm mostly a voyeur, so won't be writing much!
Hope 2008 is a good year for you and your family. Take care.
Cheryl Gaugler
Colette Hosmer's (64) reply to Larry Hackman (66):
In 1960′s I bought John's farm, a piece at a time, north of Dunseith, two miles west of the Indian Day School. I stayed with John through a winter. He made some head cheese, since John made it, I tried it. It was o.k. John was 86 years old at that time. One cold winter night, John went to town, came home about 11 pm and I said, "Where you been John?" and he replied, "Well, we had a meeting at the Red Owl store. (his sons Lucien and Albert had died within a short time of each other) I cleaned up the cooler, put new papers all around and stopped at the Tap for a drink." "There is a guy giving that Lowell (Leonard, bartender) a hard time. I said, "Well, what did you do John?" and he said, "I put him in a vice." (grabbed him by the neck) all of this in his French brogue. One day we woke up to about 4 feet of fresh snow, Sherm Burcham's barn had collapsed and pinned the cows in their stantions, so I took my snowmobile, "see you later, John" and headed NW about 4 miles, snow was so deep the snowmobile would hardly get through it. That night I came back home to John's pretty late, after taking asprin to the neighbors, Gagnon's, brought Alvin Hogenson back home to town from the farm, I said to John, "I have a couple calves that need watering in the barn." He said, "I took care of that". A year later I found two pieces of plywood with string, Old John had made snowshoes, carried water all the way to the barn, shoveled out the barn door and watered those calves. Remember he was 86 years old!

When Square Enix first announced the existence of Tokyo RPG Factory, a development studio owned by the company that was put together solely to focus on new JRPG titles, fans of the genre everywhere had no idea what to expect. The announcement came just after Square Enix had unveiled a totally revamped Final Fantasy 15, a game that, while exciting, made a dramatic number of changes to the typical JRPG formula fans had come to love. Luckily for traditionalists, however, Tokyo RPG Factory proved it was a studio looking to modernize the classic aesthetics of JRPGs when it released I Am Setsuna, a game praised as beautiful and heavily influenced by older Final Fantasy titles and Chrono Trigger.
Fresh off the success of I Am Setsuna, Square Enix announced earlier today that Tokyo RPG Factory is already hard at work on the development of its follow up JRPG. Tokyo RPG Factory's next game will be called Lost Sphear, and it will be available on both the PS4 and Switch. Here's the three minute long reveal trailer, which showcases a game that looks to borrow heavily from I Am Setsuna and will release at some point in early 2018:
Although the trailer doesn't reveal much in the way of story, a press release from Square Enix states that the game will follow a young boy named Kanata who awakens from a nightmare to find his entire hometown disappearing. Kanata will have to harness the power of Memory to rebuild the world around him even as it is vanishing, and he will collect a motley crew of allies in traditional JRPG fashion while doing so.
Beyond the game's story, however, the trailer also prominently displays the combat as it appears during development. According to Square Enix, Lost Sphear will feature an "enhanced gameplay system" that features a reworked ATB system alongside seamless environments and an increased number of locations to explore. The game also appears to feature the same piano-heavy approach to its music that made I Am Setsuna so striking.
Square Enix has already made the game available for preorder, and it's interesting to note that Lost Sphear will be appearing on the Switch just like I Am Setsuna eventually did once the console released. Those looking for more information can find the game's website here, but the most important takeaway from this is that Square Enix is still investing heavily in its new JRPG initiative, and it appears we'll be getting at least one more classically gorgeous title from Tokyo RPG Factory in the near future.
Lost Sphear is in development for PS4 and Switch, and will release sometime in early 2018.

Bearded Magazine Gig Interview
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009
okay, straight off the bat i'll admit that i always try and get a bit drunk before we play and this usually works in my favour, performance-wise. or so i think. but it does backfire when you do interviews… and stuff. fortunately through the power of editing i come across okay in this one, but i do conclude every sentence with the words "and stuff":
we also got interviewed, post-93 feet east recently by a french girl who writes for a brilliantly-titled blog, 'mdmazing'. anyway, i tried to read what she wrote but google translator lets me down. eddoux can read french really well, i should borrow him… anyway, check this out:
"I know I say this often, but there really is worse qu'hilarant, just the Lovvers, in fact, one group which would be full of interviews, but it's not lke case, then once they have one, they tell something perfectly useless for hours, if you add alcohol to the above, it really really good. "
hmmm… well, i remember talking for about 4 minutes about our band name and eddoux telling me to shut up.

Every man's life is a fairy tale written by God's fingers.Hans Christian Andersen
So Long, Farewell…
The time has come to say farvel (which means goodbye in Danish) to my time abroad. I have returned safely to my home in New York earlier this week and began to settle into my normal routine once more. My life these past four months has truly felt like a fairy tale, as the opening quote by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen states. It is strange to be back to reality and writing this blog post from my bedroom and not a café in Copenhagen. I know that all of the incredible experiences I had abroad will become a part of my identity and shape my future choices and actions throughout the rest of my life. Even though this is the final blog post of Finola's Adventures Abroad, I am certain that that more adventures await me- as long as I keep searching for them with an open mind and heart.
I would also like to mention that I had a fantastic time spending my final days abroad with my mother! She enjoyed seeing all of the places I frequented throughout the semester in Copenhagen and the day trip we took across the Øresund Bridge to Malmö, Sweden. Thank you for everything, Mom! I love you lots!
What I'll Miss the Most
In short: the place, the people, the pulse of the city. But most of all, the constant thrill of what's next. Every experience abroad was unique in its own way, and even biking to class or hanging out with friends was new and exciting compared to my usual routine back home. Exploring different cities on my vacation time has really opened my eyes to the differences between various cultures and countries- as well as commonalities across others.
At the bottom of the homepage to this blog, there is a "Finola-Approved Spots" section that contains a list of recommended restaurants, hangouts, etc. in Copenhagen that I have continuously updated. My all-time favorite location from Copenhagen is a tie between Reffen (an outdoor street food market) and Nyhavn Canal (iconic and beautiful central canal). I'll miss all of the delicious food and scenic views each of these places offered! Be sure check out my final additions to the column "Denmark Photos" to the right as well!
The Biggest Takeaways
To quote my favorite movie duo- Mamma Mia and Mamma Mia 2– Donna Sheridan says "life is short, the world is wide, and I want to make some memories." Study abroad has introduced me to just how wide the world truly is, and how small some of the problems and concerns I fixate on can be. I have learned to broaden my perspective and consider how fortunate I am to even be able to travel and study in another country at such a young age.
I have also learned a great deal about independence. Upon arriving in Copenhagen, I was expected to arrive at class on time via public transit, shop for my own groceries, maintain a clean living space, and organize any leisure travel I wished to embark on. My ability to navigate cities, build itineraries, and be safe while enjoying everything has contributed to my maturity and growth as an independent young woman.
Thank You
I am beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to share my adventures with the DIS community and with my friends and family back home! Blogging has been an excellent way to keep my study abroad memories alive, and I plan on leaving this webpage active for whoever wishes to visit in the future! I know that my adventures don't stop here, and I will always seek for more. For now, farvel and thank you all!
Much love,
Finola 🙂

Concern about side effects of narcotics and interest in more legal medical choices are leading to more seniors looking into cannabis options.
According to the National Survey of Drug Use and Health, between 2011-14 in Washington state, the number of people who have used cannabis over the age of 65 increased from 0.9 percent to 2.4 percent.
At Cannabis & Glass, a Spokane retailer, none of the senior customers interviewed wanted to comment due to concerns about marijuana's lingering social stigma and the current political climate. However the store staff said business from people in their 60s, 70s continues to grow.

But the Civic Arena left an indelible mark on the city because of the concerts and ice shows and graduations that took place there. Especially because of the teams that played there. The Pipers. The Condors. Duquesne University. The Triangles. The Spirit. The Phantoms. The Stingers. And, of course, the Penguins, who were the arena's most celebrated -- and ultimately successful -- tenant. The franchise was based there from 1967 until 2010, and won three Stanley Cups during that span. And created an awful lot of memories in the process. What follows is very much a personal list, and far from a comprehensive one. Games that appear on it are those that the writer attended and, in many cases, covered. (With one exception, which will be mentioned at the end of Part 2.) Non-playing people mentioned include some who were met while attending games as a fan and others whose paths were crossed in a professional capacity. Most are identified only by their first name in order to preserve their privacy, or that of their families. The recollections below appear in no particular order, because simply being chosen for inclusion shows that all made a lasting impression.

Rong Mo wore a thick outfit along with sungla.s.ses and a scarf, walking around the school slowly in her disguise. Walking on a small path, she looked through the gaps of the luscious trees to make out a group of boys running on the track despite it being winter.
Lin Yi'er had said that Mo Feifei was her high school cla.s.smate. If she were Mo Feifei, she must have attended this high school together with Lin Yi'er.
However, this was a place extremely foreign to her, and she had no recollections of anything.
Yet, the images that had flashed out through her mind at the onsen the other day were affirmation that she should be Mo Feifei. And even if she weren't, she must be someone related to her.
After walking an entire round, Rong Mo recalled nothing.
She backtracked her steps. There were buildings after buildings along the pathway, and beside the buildings was a small alleyway.
Rong Mo stopped for a moment and walked through that alley where she ended up at a gra.s.s patch surrounded by flora and a wall by the side that was lined with Boston ivy. This secluded place seemed similar to the one in her flashback the other day.
Standing at the gra.s.s patch, Rong Mo raised her head and looked around. The position of the drawing board, trees and wall… she could match them all.
Of course, there were some slight differences between now and then. But, she could confirm that this was the same place.
She looked at the wall and smiled. "You seem like the only one who hasn't changed. A pity you couldn't talk, or you'd be able to tell me who I am. I suppose other than Lin Yi'er and Su Ya, that Shi Guang must be an important figure of my past. But, can I trust her? What if even that sister of mine is a fake?"
At the very least, this was not a fruitless journey.
She could confirm that she had once been a student of this school and that she should be Mo Feifei. Other than that, she couldn't find any other trace of memory.
As Rong Mo walked back, she heard two schoolgirls gossiping along the way.
"Did you watch the news? Lin Yi'er got into an accident?"
"Yeah, she deserves it."
"Didn't you really like her in the past?"
"Hmph! No longer a fan of that s.h.i.t."
Rong Mo's gaze narrowed—Lin Yi'er got into an accident?
After getting into a taxi, she surfed the internet on her phone.
Just last night, the nanny van which Lin Yi'er and her a.s.sistant were in was involved in a ma.s.sive collision with a huge truck. The driver of the nanny van died on the spot and Lin Yi'er was sent to the hospital immediately, where emergency efforts to revive her were futile. As for her a.s.sistant, she fell into a coma from the heavy impact.
For the past few days, Lin Yi'er had been smeared all over the internet, and naturally, her getting into an accident at this period of time caused a stir.
Initially, the netizens refused to believe it and thought it to be a hoax.
It was only till the actual news of her death spread that the netizens stopped all their wild guesses. No matter what, one should respect the dead, and with that, the attacks toward Lin Yi'er had stopped entirely.
Rong Mo had the taxi change routes to the hospital so that she could visit Lin Yi'er's a.s.sistant—after all, that girl had rendered her great a.s.sistance.
By the time she arrived, the a.s.sistant was already in the ICU where she was unconscious, and no visitors were allowed.
Rong Mo could only catch sight of her family.
The a.s.sistant was the only child to two elderly parents. When they heard that their daughter was in an accident, their tears were endless as they put on a strong front, trying to be brave and hoping that their daughter could tide through this.
At the side, Rong Mo could only watch with a pained heart.

The Problem
Looker expects that each view defines exactly one dimension with the
primary_key parameter, and that there are no duplicate values of any primary keys within a table.
If this constraint is not respected, aggregates across joins can get counted twice or more, leading to unusually large numbers. Looker usually detects these and will show this the error described in this Help Center article.
Pinpointing the Problem
To fix this we need to make sure each table has its own unique primary key. To test a given field for uniqueness, we can run the following simple query in SQL Runner that tells us how many rows are in the database table, per the value of that field:
SELECT field, count( * ) FROM table group by 1 order by 2 DESC
If there are any counts above 1 in the results, then that field is not unique and should not be the primary key.
Ideally, there is a field in the database that is unique at the row level, or the database can be updated so that there is one (by adding a primary key column to a table, for example). The
primary_key parameter can be applied to that unique field. Here are two options for creating primary keys.
Using Compound Primary Keys
Sometimes, no single field in a table is unique, but a combination of fields is unique. In this case, we can make a compound primary key by concatenating two or more fields in the SQL parameter:
dimension: compound_primary_key { primary_key: yes hidden: yes type: string sql: CONCAT(${TABLE}.primary_key_1, ' ', ${TABLE}.primary_key_2) ;; }
Things to keep in mind about this approach:
- This example will create a compound primary key of
type: string. If the underlying fields are integers, they may need to be cast to strings first.
- Note:
CONCATworks in some databases, like MySQL, but other databases might have a different equivalent. Redshift, for example, uses
||as its concatenation operator.
row_number to Generate a Primary Key for a Derived Table
If you receive this error with a derived table, you can use the
row_number() window function in Postgres and Redshift databases to make a unique field. This field can then be used as a primary key:
view: derived_table_name { derived_table { sql: SELECT row_number() OVER(ORDER BY created_at) AS prim_key, * FROM orders ;; } dimension: prim_key { type: number primary_key: yes sql: ${TABLE}.prim_key ;; } }
In MySQL, you can use a variable that iterates every row, to achieve the same effect:
view: derived_table_name { derived_table { sql: SELECT CAST(@rownum := @rownum + 1 AS UNSIGNED) AS prim_key, t.* FROM orders t, (SELECT @rownum := 0) r ;; } dimension: prim_key { type: number primary_key: yes sql: ${TABLE}.prim_key ;; } }
