Unfortunately, Hungary does not record violent hate crime statistics. Police, prosecution and judiciary are reluctant to recognise racism as an aggravating circumstance in a crime and the Criminal Code does not contain corresponding provisions. There is also no information about the ethnic composition of victims of such crime. One of the main problems is the fact that Hungarian police are not trained in identifying the nature of hate crime; there are no regulations for police procedures in such cases.
On July 3, 2015 Minority Rights Group published a report on minorities and indigenous peoples of the world. MRG notes that police does not "really" effectively investigate crimes where the victims were Roma. The report indicates that refugees, immigrants, Jews, Muslims and Roma are the most vulnerable groups when it comes to hate crime. A general problem is that victims often have nowhere to turn to. Furthermore, Hungarian legislation against hate crime often punishes minorities rather than protects it.
A lot of hate crime remains unreported due to victims fearing xenophobia on the part of the police. Victims do not receive psychological or legal help. Hungary has serious deficiencies in law enforcement, when it comes to hate crime. This includes the classification of hate crime as domestic violence, the high latency of hate crime due to victims' distrust towards the police and law enforcement's reluctance to initiate such proceedings. There is also lack of statistics that would allow judging the extent of such crime. However, the situation is developing in the positive direction.
On January 16, Budapest city court ruled that local police has been persecuting LGBT during the 2012 gay pride event. On September 18, this decision was upheld in the Court of Appeal. In February, Debrecen Court of Appeal sentenced a man to life in prison for murdering a homosexual.
On July 2, Pest District Court sentenced a man to 2 years suspended term for Holocaust denial and denial of the crimes of the communist regime.
On October 18, Budapest Court of Appeal made a final decision to ban the Hungarian Association of Self-Defence for a Better Hungary. The court ruled the organisation illegal after its crimes against the Roma people spanning four years, 2008 – 2012. Fiscal and financial claims against the liquidated organisation must be satisfied before May 16, 2015, when it will be removed from the register.
Nevertheless, there have been some court verdicts that can be considered as condoning xenophobia. On March 24, Gyula prosecutor's office rejected the claim on the prohibition of a xenophobic organisation "Association for a Better Tomorrow".
On June 19, the court rejected a claim of the historian Tomas Kraus made to the director of the Veritas Research Institute of History Sandor Sakali, who referred to the findings of T. Kraus and said during an interview with ATV that the deportation of Jews from Kamianets-Podilskyi in August of 1941 should be seen by historians as a fact of migration.
Migration legislation is generally complied with, while it should be noted that the modernisation of the Citizenship Law in 2010 has resulted in a sharp increase in new citizens, mainly due to ethnic Hungarians.
By the end of 2014, 670 000 people received citizenship. 66% of new Hungarian citizens were from Trainsylvania, 17% - Vojvodina, 14% - Transcarpathia. On the other hand, around 500 thousand Hungarians immigrated to Western Europe.
In 2013, Hungary experienced a sharp increase in immigration from developing countries. Between January and August 2013, Hungary received 15 000 applications for asylum. In 2014, this number somewhat declined (4 846 people in Q1 and Q2 of 2014 compared to 11 607 over the same period in 2013). This resulted in huge deficits in Hungary's migration system.
Refugees in Hungary do not receive free legal assistance during their applications; it is currently financed by the EU. Asylum seeker centres are lacking in translators and medical staff.
Regardless of the government's efforts to make it both physically and legally impossible for asylum-seekers to submit their applications, the frequency of cases where international protection is granted to an applicant has increased since 2015, and in 2017, 1291 persons received refugee status or subsidiary protection. Despite the increase in the number of successful asylum applications, the number of applications submitted to Hungarian authorities fell to 3,115 in 2017 from 29,432 in 2016, and 177,135 in 2015. 44 per cent of the applicants in 2017 were Afghani, 26 per cent Iraqi, and 18 per cent came from Syria.
The government claimed at the time the data was published that it refuses the EU mandatory quotas but is willing to grant international protection to whoever is eligible under the Geneva Convention.
The reason behind the increase in successful applications is that they can only be submitted in transit zones and generally women, families, and children enter the zones, individuals who are much more likely to be granted international protection. However, most applicants only receive subsidiary protection even in cases when they should be granted refugee status because it makes it harder for them to bring their families to the country, as those in the former category need to have a high income, comprehensive health insurance, and separate housing to be able to apply for family reunification.
In 2017 there were cases when the decisions of the courts and authorities condemned discriminatory practices against minorities. For example, three men who beat participants of the Budapest Pride parade in 2013 were convicted of assault, and the court stated that motive was the victims' sexual and ethnic orientation. The decision, which sent two perpetrators to prison, was legally binding.
The Office of the Commissioner for Fundamental Rights (ABJH) ruled that the so-called "strolls" conducted by the BH and supported by the local self-government harassed the local Roma population, and thus the self-government breached the Roma's right for equal treatment. In 2017, the legally binding decision of a court confirmed the opinion of the Equal Treatment Authority (Egyenlő Bánásmód Hatóság, EBH). The court's verdict stated that "the rule of law is not only about creating and maintaining some sort of legal order, but certain fundamental values, principles must also be built into this legal order, which needs to be upheld and enforced, and attempts at attacking the rule of law must be averted on the state and local levels as well." In another case concerning the cooperation of vigilante groups and local self-governments, the Curia ruled that the self-government of Gyöngyöspata harassed the local Roma community by failing to implement measures against the members of the For a Better Future Citizens' Defence Association (Szebb Jövőért Polgárőr Egyesület, SzJPE), the Defence Force (Véderő, VE) and the Army of Outlaws (Betyársereg). Another case against local self-governments concerned Mezőkeresztes, where in July 2015 the mayor wrote in the self-government's own journal that locals should not sell their properties to the Roma.
In 2017, the EBH ruled that the mayor of Mezőkeresztes harassed the Roma and thus breached equal treatment requirements. The Hungarian Civil Liberties Union (Társaság a Szabadságjogokért, TASZ) welcomed the decision, which proves that the mayor's opinion published in the local self-government's journal does not enjoy the right to free speech as he represented the state in this situation, and the state must treat all citizens as equal. The Curia found a provision in Miskolc's local self-government decree on community coexistence punishing those who live in an accommodation where the living space available to one individual is less than 6m2 to be unconstitutional. The regulation was certainly intended to punish the poor, mainly Roma inhabitants of the city. The Constitutional Court (AB) annulled numerous provisions that discriminate public workers and unnecessarily restrict their private sphere. The law on the Public Works Scheme allowed self-governments to grant opportunities to participate in the scheme if they keep their gardens in order. The AB found that "there are no rational reasons for the legislator to introduce special provisions with their scope restricted specifically to public workers on how one should live their lives."
State bodies were also active in trying to convince the state and private actors to take action to guarantee equal rights to all citizens. In July 2017, Commissioner for Fundamental Rights, László Székely, told the Hungarian news wire agency MTI that "currently, the Hungarian state is not meeting its constitutional and international obligations concerning the quality of and access to education for vulnerable, seriously and multiply disadvantaged students." Mr Székely warned then Minister for Human Capacities, Zoltán Balog, to implement the necessary measures to remedy the problems he identified, including the clarification of definitions, creating an adequate number of study places for these students, and organising ways to allow disabled students to get to school.
Mr Székely also asked Zoltán Balog to assess child protection services and implement other systemic measures after he found that every third individual taken into child protection is taken from his or her family because of their financial situation (which affects the Roma disproportionately). The commissioner emphasised that the families will continue to live in poverty after their children are taken away, and the children will suffer from serious disadvantages in their adult life because of being torn away from their family.
The Hungarian Equal Treatment Authority dealt with a case involving a ticket conductor only asking to check the ticket of a Roma individual at a train station and disregarding others. The EBH found that the defendant checked the individual's ticket because of his or her Roma origin and skin colour. Courts stepped up against segregation in schools as well. In 2017, the Curia ruled that the Kodály Zoltán Elementary School breached equal treatment requirements by launching segregated classes for Roma students. The verdict condemned the local self-government of Kaposvár as well as the Ministry of Human Capacities, which took over the school in January 2013 but upheld the illegal situation. The school was banned from starting any new classes from the 2017/2018 school year onwards, and thus the school will be closed after the current classes finish their studies.
In 2020, only 12 crimes out of 100 were investigated. It is not known how many of them went to trial. These were mostly crimes involving the desecration of cemeteries, mostly Jewish cemeteries. Not only that, however, in 2020, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, the Budapest District VI. and VII. prosecutor's office charged a hate crime [crime of violence against a member of a community committed with a deadly weapon (article 216, subsection (3) of the Hungarian Criminal Code)] against a man who, after being asked to leave a store due to closure, threatened the owner, an ethnic Chinese man, with racist anti-Chinese language. The perpetrator also pulled out a knife and threatened a customer, who stood up to defend the store owner and chased him outside the store.
In January 2021, the Hungarian Supreme Court ruled that vandalism by the deputy leader of the radical nationalist Mi Hazank, Elod Nowak, of the monument to the Soviet Red Army on Freedom Square in Budapest in 2015 was considered a violent act and did not fall under the right to freedom of expression. In its acquittal, the court stated that, in evaluating the case, it had concluded that the statue was the property of the Budapest Municipal Council and was part of the cultural heritage of the capital.

Dear friends,
Advent is almost here, as we approach the end of the year, and the end of our Pilgrimage series.
The rhythm of seasons passing is often something we don't pay attention to Singapore – we jokingly point out there are only two seasons in Singapore – Hot and Humid, and Hot and Wet. There are seasons in life too.
Last Sunday, Pauline asked what kind of legacy you want to leave behind. That is about living well. This Sunday, i will talk about the leaving well – the last leg of our journey in this life.

You either "gun it" and move into traffic as fast as you can or you "slowly meander" into traffic. As I was merging on the freeway the other day, deciding what to do (a semi truck barreling down the side of me) I was thinking about these parallels of life. So often you can just "gun it" and make the choice to do something OR you can "slowly meander" about life waiting for just the right time. Just the right opportunity...but what if you don't "gun it" and miss that opportunity? Where does that leave you? Wondering what could have been? Or in the case of the merge lane..in the dust of the shoulder or worse yet into the freeway barrier.
My question for you to ponder is do you gun it it through life or do you slowly meander?

Wanting to be a doctor was definitely a life long goal of mine. I completed high school in Zambia and moved to the United States in search of a tertiary education with a clear vision of wanting to be in the healthcare field so I could help people. I enrolled at the University of Kentucky with the intention of being a pharmacist and quickly realized that wasn't the path for me. I got a degree (B.S.) in Biology from the University of Kentucky in 2001.
During those four years, I learned that the allopathic/traditional model of healthcare delivery wasn't appealing to me. After graduating and contemplating what I needed to do next, I discovered the Chiropractic profession and decided to make yet another move to Marietta, Georgia, so that I could enroll at Life University. While studying the art, science, and philosophy of Chiropractic at Life University, I began to realize that this vitalistic healthcare model made sense to me since it was encompassing the person as a whole and addressing dysfunction rather than individual symptoms.
I graduated from Life University in June 2005 with honors (Magna Cum Laude). I have had the privilege of being a practicing Chiropractor for 19 years now. I didn't quite grasp the magnitude of what Chiropractic can do until I started practicing and witnessing peoples' health being transformed. I choose to practice the Activator method of adjusting and saw what gentle, precise care could do. I further enhanced my skills by doing postgraduate work in Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care, and I am board-certified to do the Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic Technique (B.C.A.O).
The Atlas Orthogonal method of adjusting really elevated the clinical outcomes for my patients, and I could see major improvements in their health due to a vast reduction of internal nervous system stress. Watching peoples' health being restored in a safe, gentle, effective manner is a very rewarding and fulfilling experience for me. This is not a privilege I take lightly. I am honored to be a facilitator to help individuals regain a sense of well being. True wealth, after all, is a sense of optimal health in mind, body, and spirit. This is the ultimate vision I hold for all my practice members.
When I am not pursuing my passion in the clinic watching peoples' health transform, I like to spend time out in nature soaking in the sun rays, watching the raindrops, listening to the ocean, seeing the magnificence of the mountain ranges. (Travel and adventure is good for the soul). Gardening is a love of mine, and taking seeds and watching them transform into plants bearing produce brings me immense happiness. There is nothing like reading a good book and letting it transport you into another world.
I am always seeking to grow as an individual so I can continue to be the optimal facilitator for all those I have the honor of working with.

A review of aspects of the book DARK EMU by Bruce Pascoe 2014. Reviewed here by Clyde Brown.
In his book "Dark Emu", Bruce Pascoe argues that pre-colonial aboriginals were much more than simple hunter-gatherers and were, living in towns and villages, building houses and dams, altering the course of rivers, tilling the land, sowing crops, which they harvested and stored as well as sewing their own clothes.
At the same time, he claims that they had a system of pan-continental government that generated peace and prosperity.
The book has been widely acclaimed and considered factual by a large body of readers, who in the main have little or no knowledge of aboriginal archaeology and have not bothered to research Bruce Pascoe's claims. A generally dissenting view by some researchers, can be found at: https://www.dark-emu-exposed.org/
Peter O'Brien in his book "Bitter Harvest" undertakes a forensic investigation of Pascoe's claims in a work covering 251 pages. Continue reading "DARK EMU – A Review"

Watch Dogs Legion
Welcome to London DedSec operative(s) your task.. to Unfuck London from the mess
that it's been left in after the Albion takeover, this is what you are thrown
into in the beginning of the game.
You've seen the trailers, and teasers.. bombs going off in London, the police
has been left without powers and their duties transferred to the Para Military
company Albion to restore peace and stability to London by any means necessary;
even if it means beating up civilians on the side-walk of a busy street, or
invading privacy with 24/7 drone surveillance. Without spoiling anything
of the story as this one is really interesting and well executed with more plot
twists and shocks than an episode of Coronation Street (British Soap Opera),
I'm more than sure you will have a thrill and a wild ride playing through it.
The game builds on mechanics from the previous titles in the franchise, mainly
the hacking aspect is unchanged as well as the puzzle layout that you got familiar
with in the first and the second game, keeping it nice and tidy as well as simple
to get into to or remember. Nothing more fun than having a car chase throughout
the streets of London, driving through a check point with liftable barriers to
crash out the bad guys, or giving a terrible Mercenary who is beating on a
innocent person a proper electrical shock through your phone.
London as the map, is massive in this game and thankfully there is a fast travel
option as you progress in the game that you can take use of, snappily traversing
between the tube-stations from one side of London to the other. If you prefer
the scenic route, you can have most cars go on auto-drive.. since this is a
technological society we are living in.
There is no single character in the game, which is a mechanic that is both great
and also in a way makes most of the recruits that you end up convincing to join
the resistance rather forgettable, kicking off the game you choose your initial
character, and throughout the game your trusty AI sidekick Bagley is suggesting
you convince more people on the streets of London to join your team, and this is
for their abilities, skills that you can work in your favor when you play as that
specific character.
There is almost infinite amounts of people with different skills you can approach
in London, and this is the fun side of the game overall,
helping that specific character with a problem (be it they owe money, getting
threats), sorting it all out for them, and then having them join up with DedSec.
Screenshots above, show some of the recruits I've had join my DedSec team,
most of them have non-lethal weapons, but some you can recruit also carry
more lethal options, as sub machine guns or pistols.
When you've recruited people, you can flip between the recruits as you see fit,
let's say you have a mission that requires you to infiltrate a police station,
convince a member of the police to join your team, this means you can walk in
on guarded locations with relative ease to a certain extent, are you injury
prone? hire a doctor to the team to speed up the recover of your team when you
fail a mission, hire a lawyer to reduce the time spent in jail when you fail
the mission. Then there are comical people you can recruit, like you've seen
in the videos leading up to the game, convincing an retired little old lady
to join the team, or an old man that is prone to having heart-attacks..
But like I said once you've recruited the person you feel will benefit the team
their "story" vanishes as you have so many people already, and
the game does not focus on that persons life anymore.
So initially while you get to know them a bit, that's all you will get.
But that's not at all a bad thing is it?
if you had continually story on the character you are playing that is
not relevant to the game, you would have such a massive undertaking finding out
everything that the games story itself would suffer I guess?
It is double-edged sword, but in my opinion the way Ubisoft chose to make it
is the right way in the end, your objective after all is to unscrew London
whatever it takes and not to explore your characters backstory further than
you get to know their name.
You have access to a lot of technological gadgets and gizmos in the game that
you can use as tools, and all of these once unlocked can be further "upgraded"
to provide more functionality, example of this would be disabling drones or
turrets, and furthermore hijacking and having the ability to turn them on their
own people.. certain recruits you add to your team, also have their own abilities
to call in for example heavy lifting drones.. which could come in handy when
you need to get into places high up in the sky. All these upgrades are done
with technological points that you can find in various "hidden" places
throughout London, or completing main missions in the story.
Speaking of the story and the length of the campaign on Watch Dogs Legion.
You are looking at multiple main-missions, and approximately 15-18 hours
of gameplay to complete the story (this is based on my own Playthrough)
at Normal difficulty, and included minimal Side-Missions so far. I'd
guess around 25-30 hours in total to complete everything the game throws at
you. The good thing though is there will be more DLC and more playable
content coming to the game over time, and there also will be a multiplayer
mode, so you can expect to return to London also multiple times.
I've had a blast playing the game so far, and I would really recommend the
game to anyone who has or has not played Watch Dogs 1 or 2. To answer a question
I'm sure many of you are thinking about, do I need to have played 1 and 2 to
understand Legion? No, you can jump directly into Legion, without having
played the other games prior, the only thing you might miss out on then,
is that the main character (Aiden Pearce) from Watch Dogs is playable DLC
with the season pass.
London is a fun world to explore with all it's quirky characters with snappy
comments, and it's eye candy to behold on top of that as well.
The game is out today 29th October 2020, on PC, Playstation and Xbox One
consoles. Please see your local store or online store for regional pricing.
As you can see from the Required/Recommended image above, WD Legion does
require some serious hardware to run at it's full capabilities. And boy
does it look good when you turn on all the bells and whistles, I've recently
upgraded a bit on my system.. unfortunately not to the 30xx series due to lack
of supply as everyone knows, but I managed to snag a more than decent MSI 2080
Super Gaming X Trio card for a fairly decent price that will carry me over til
the next upgrade. That said, Running WD Legion on my i5 9400 (need a CPU upgrade
yes I know) with 16 GB ram at 3200mhz and the 2080 Super, on 1440p with a mix
of Ultra/High and RTX Ray Tracing on, netted me around 50-60fps. These settings
included having DLSS on as well, which helps on the FPS front overall.
From the screenshots in the beginning of the review you can see that already
with these settings the game looks absolutely stunning, and more importantly
runs very well and steady, except the few times I encountered a strange loading
into a cut-scene bug, which led to that I had to restart the game a few times
to get past that particular scene..
But I am sure that "bug" will be ironed out, if it's not already been done.
An SSD is definitely recommended here also for your install, the game clocks in at
67.30 GB, and besides the fairly long start-up load time, all other areas of the
game load in quickly after that.
Final Thoughts
Watch Dogs Legion is a truly beautiful game, a show case for RTX graphics;
that is more than super fun to play to due to it's new character recruit/switch
mechanics, you want to play as a doctor? no problem, you want to play as a hard
core football fanatic who likes his beer? no problem. The story has more twists
and turns than a episode of Coronation Street (British Soap Opera), and will
keep you entertained for countless hours. All that there is left to say is
Welcome to Britain DedSec Operative, now go unfuck London! Pick it up now!
- Beautiful open world
- Story is action packed
- Characters
- Puzzles & Collectibles
- Requires a lot of GPU power
- Story is slow paced ocassionaly
- Some odd bugs

Corrupt Ex-Magistrate Robert "Dodgey Bob" Harrap Imprisoned, Accomplices Avoid Jail
Disgraced ex-magistrate Bob Harrap was jailed for corruption last week.
Harrap, 61, was convicted of two counts of deceiving another to benefit himself and one count of conspiracy to abuse public office. He was jailed for 18 months with a 12-month non-parole period.
Harrap was charged along with three other women:
– Corrupt South Australia Police prosecutor Abigail "Abby" Foulkes, 48. Foulkes was Harrap's girlfriend. Romantic involvement with someone whose colleagues regularly appear before you to argue cases is hardly conducive to judicial impartiality – but apparently perfectly legal in South Australia.
– Lawyer Catherine Jayne Moyse, 49, an ex-partner of Harrap and daughter of the infamously rotten Barry Moyse, the former SAPOL drug squad chief who was caught by the NCA (not SAPOL) operating an extensive drug trafficking network.
– Harrap's former clerk Melanie Jane Freeman, 46.
As evinced by their ages and positions, this was not exactly a bunch of naive teenagers.
After an ICAC (not SAPOL) investigation, Harrap pleaded guilty to corruption offences over his attempts to avoid demerit points for speeding in his government-issued car.
Freeman admitted handing over her driver's licence so Harrap could lie about who was driving, and said her then-boss "groomed" her to do so.
Foulkes, his partner, admitted assisting Harrap to deceive a court staffer as to who was driving his car on a different occasion.
News of the offence was especially grating given Harrap had a reputation for being less-than-charitable towards people appearing before him to contest traffic fines.
Harrap also pleaded guilty to offences committed alongside Moyse involving a conflict of interest in the hearing of a case.
Harrap asked the court for mercy, saying it would be "heartless" to jail him and that he'd needed to keep his licence for the sake of his youngest daughter, who has autism.
The claim was disputed by Harrap's eldest daughter, who was annoyed the ex-magistrate would exploit her sister's plight in order to exculpate himself.
The hypocrisy was not limited to Harrap.
All three of his accomplices rushed to throw him under the bus, claiming he had "groomed," bullied," and "taken advantage" of them.
This claim may have been tenable for Freeman, who was under Harrap's employ and may well have feared for her job if she didn't comply with his demands.
Judge Paul Slattery said Freeman relied upon Harrap for job security and he abused that – and his knowledge of her personal problems – to his benefit.
He said pressure exerted by Harrap exacerbated to bullying, "lewd and inappropriate" behaviour and "highly-suggestive", unwanted and unreturned sexual advances.
So it seems Harrap was not only corrupt, but – like so much of the legal profession – a serial creep.
"You were a vulnerable target for Harrap … I am satisfied he was grooming you to agree to the request he was making," he said.
Judge Slattery told Harrap his actions toward Freeman were "particularly egregious" and worthy of penalty. He refused to convict Freeman and placed her on a 12-month good behaviour bond.
Despite Her Inexcusable Behaviour, Foulkes Avoids Jail
There was simply no excuse for Foulke's corrupt behaviour. While her lawyers tried the "she did it for love" ruse, Judge Slattery noted Foulkes was a senior, experienced and 'respected' police officer who knew her duty, regardless of any emotional pressure exerted by Harrap.
Judge Slattery said she "never actually said no to" to Harrap and "did nothing" to stop him committing a crime – instead she "blithely accepted it".
Despite her egregious breach of the public trust, Foulkes escaped jail time. A conviction was recorded and she was placed on a 12-month good behaviour bond.
Corrupt South Australian Police Prosecutor, Abigail Foulkes.
As someone whose father's antics should have more than driven home the importance of keeping one's nose clean, it's also hard to feel any sympathy for Moyse. However, her lawyers successfully played up the helpless damsel angle.
Judge Slattery said there was an "improper professional and personal power imbalance" between her and Harrap, leaving her with a "destructive obedience" toward him.
"You were adversely influenced and personally misled by a trusted authority figure in your life," he said of the 49 year-old lawyer.
No conviction was recorded against Moyse but she was fined $600.

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed a GOP-backed bill into law Friday (March 26) that will impact millions of the state's residents during election season.
The Republican bill SB-202 restricts Georgians from voting by mail and the oversight of legislative elections. Representative Alan Powell (R-Hartwell) told 11Alive the huge influx of absentee ballots during the 2020 Primary Election prompted the overhaul.
The signing of the bill comes just a few months after most Georgians voted for President Joe Biden in the 2020 general election, turning the state blue for the first time since 1993. President Biden criticized the new law, calling it "Jim Crow in the 21st Century" and "an atrocity," according to CNN. The bill also received criticism from Democratic Georgia politicians like Stacey Abrams and Senator Jon Ossoff. Abrams tweeted "in 11 years, I've never witnessed a massive bill approved at such speed and signed in such desperation."
Kemp responded to his critics, tweeting "It is obvious that neither President Biden nor his handlers have actually read SB 202, which I signed into law yesterday."
Georgia State Patrol troopers arrested one Georgia politician, State Rep. Park Cannon, after she knocked on Kemp's office door while he was delivering remarks during a presser about the bill's passage. According to WSB-TV, troopers removed Cannon from the Capitol and she was taken to the Fulton County jail. Police charged her with obstruction of law enforcement and preventing or disrupting General Assembly sessions or other meetings of members.
The claim: Will Georgians have a hard time casting their vote in future elections due to the new law? Is this new bill a form of voter suppression?
Our rating: True. Let's review what's actually in the bill compared to before. Kemp tweeted that with the new bill, there's now:
· Required voter I.D. for all absentee ballots.
· Increased oversight of local election boards, which fail to follow state election law.
· Quicker, more accurate results.
· Secured drop boxes around the clock.
The bill also stripped the Georgia Secretary of State's Office of some of its roles in elections. The law, according to WSB-TV, gives the state election board added power to take over any county election office for underperforming. It also now gives the general assembly more say over the state election board. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger supported the law.
The law, according to WSB-TV and The Hill, also reduces the timeframe runoff elections are held, including the amount of weeks of early voting in runoffs from nine weeks to four, and it bans the handing out of food and water to people standing in line to vote within 150 feet of a polling place. During the 2020 general election, Georgians waited up to eight hours to cast their votes during the early voting period.
It also limits the use of ballot drop boxes, according to The Hill. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Georgia allowed the use of drop boxes. Under the new law, drop boxes will have to be at early-voting locations and are only accessibly when those locations are open. Those same drop boxes will also no longer be available to use in the last four days of an election.
The new deadline for Georgia absentee ballots is now 11 days before an election instead of four, according to The Hill. Georgians will also possibly have the option to vote on two Sundays when voting based on the county.
This follows Former President Donald Trump's failed attempts to produce evidence of voter fraud during the 2020 general election. The passing of Georgia's new law also comes after Trump pressured Secretary of State Raffensperger with "finding votes in his favor" in a phone call to his office.
Georgians will face these new rules as the 2022 midterm elections approach, and it's not the only state to have introduce changes to voting rights. In the past five months since the election, GOP legislators have introduced at least 253 bills targeting various voting rights.
This new law also comes after the January 2021 runoffs election involving two of Georgia's now-Senators Raphael Warnock, the state's first Black senator, and Jon Ossoff, the state's first Jewish senator. The results from both the 2020 general election and the 2021 runoffs election are mostly due to the work of Stacey Abrams and other Black grassroots organizers who mobilized many of Georgia's Black voters by leading voter registration and education campaigns, publicizing deadlines for absentee ballots, and built coalitions.
Before Kemp's new law passed, Black Georgians already faced uphill battles with casting votes. Voter suppression has been apparent since the 15th Amendment, according to PBS Newshour, gave Black men the right to vote in 1870. After the Civil War, the Black population rose across southern states, which impacted politics greatly. More than 1,400 African-Americans were elected to local, state and federal office during Reconstruction era.
Back then, the Republican party was more liberal than Democrats, so that's the direction a lot of Black Americans went in. But, southern Democrats, according to PBS Newshour, fought back using violence and legislation. Black candidates were threatened, voters were attacked, and Black leaders were pushed out of office by white paramilitary groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and the White Leagues. As a result, white Democrats established single-party control in the south and instituted a poll tax, which made voting expensive for former slaves. "White primaries" didn't allow Black people to choose candidates in primary elections, which caused the number of Black men voting in Louisiana to fall from 130,000 to 1,342 between 1896 and 1904.
In recent years, voter suppression in Georgia has been much more blatant. Civil rights groups sued Gov. Kemp for suppressing Black votes during the 2018 gubernatorial election after an investigation by the Associated Press revealed a month before the midterm election that his office didn't approved more than 50,000 voter registrations. African-Americans filed most of them.
Kemp was the-then secretary of state, who oversaw his own election, defeating governor hopeful Abrams. According to PBS Newshour, Kemp said his actions complied with a 2017 state law that required voter registration information to exactly match with a voter's data from the Georgia Department of Motor Vehicles or Social Security Administration. The civil rights groups said the law affects Black and Latino voters disproportionately.
Following the criticism and fallout from the new law Kemp passed last Friday, Abrams' voting rights group, the New Georgia Project, and two others have sued the state of Georgia, citing violation of the Voting Rights Act. Democrats in Georgia are still trying to move forward with the For the People Act, which would create national voting standards, according to Forbes, that could undue provisions with the new Georgia law.

8 Different Ways to Fix When Spotify Keeps Pausing.
Spotify is the best music streaming services, especially if you like lesser-known artists. On the other side, nothing ruins music faster than common pauses and buffering. This problem is common with Spotify and has many causes. The good news is all easy to fix.
If Spotify keeps pausing down and interrupting your listening experience, do the following.
Table of Contents
When Spotify Keeps Pausing Deactivate the energy-saving mode
All mobile devices have a power-saving mode that reduces background activity to extend battery life. Power Save will inactivate the background app from updating, stop checking emails automatically, and stop downloading in so many cases. In other cases, it can affect your Spotify stream.
If you're listening to Spotify with power-saving mode turned on, turn it off. It's easy to swipe down from the top right corner of the screen and tap the battery icon on an iPhone. You can also access Power Saving Mode by going to Settings> Battery> Power Saving Mode.
Android devices handle this in a little dissimilar method. This setting on Android devices is known as "Battery Saver." To access this, tap the Settings icon and then select Battery saver. You should see a cursor somewhere on your screen. Make sure it is turned off.
This setting interferes with Spotify on any device, be it a phone or a tablet. If you find that Spotify keeps shutting down while listening to music, turn off sleep mode and make sure you have enough charge.

When Spotify Keeps Pausing Turn off data saver mode
Spotify has a built-in data storage mode that reduces the amount of data the app uses when streaming over cellular networks. This mode can potentially degrade playback quality and cause Spotify pauses.
To switch to data saver mode, tap the gear icon in the upper right corner of the screen and then tap Data storage in the list. Make sure the slider is set to Off.
When Spotify Keeps Pausing Restart your device
One of the Finest ways to fix Spotify sleeping issues is to reset your device. We can perform a reset on a mobile or select "Restart" from the Start menu on your computer. However, it's often best to turn off the device entirely for at least 15 seconds before restarting.
It will erase all data stored in temporary storage. It is one of the most recommended methods to try to resolve these issues. After 15 seconds, turn your device back on and try again with Spotify.

Keep your device up to date
There are times when Spotify will not work correctly after an update, especially after updates to the operating system. Make sure your mobile device is up to date with the latest version of the operating system.
One way to do this is to turn on automatic updates. Another option is to check if an update is currently available manually. For this, go to Settings> General> Software Update in iOS. On Android, select Settings, select System updates, then choose to Check for system updates.
Disconnect everywhere
Several Spotify users have reported that logging out of their accounts on any device before logging back in can fix familiar pause issues in Spotify.
To do this, go to the presentation page of your account. Scroll down this page and click the Sign Out Anywhere button. Once you have complete this, you will need to log back into your account.
Note that this option does not include Spotify partner devices, so you will not be signed out of your PlayStation or Sonos devices.
Using your Spotify account elsewhere can cause choppy playback on your device. By signing out of your account on all devices, you also avoid the risk of someone else gaining unauthorized access to your account.

Connect or disconnect from WiFi
With Spotify, you can choose from several levels of quality for streaming the music of yours. The base level for music is 160 kbps and requires a speed of 384kbps to upload and download. The next level is 320 kbps and needs upload and download speeds of 512 kbps. You need at least 2 Mbit / s down and 0.5 Mbit / s up for lossless streaming.
These speeds must stay at this level or higher. Otherwise, the quality of your music will fluctuate and often cause pauses. In so many cases, 3G is not enough for lossless quality.
If you're streaming music at the best possible quality and you're not getting the results you want, try connecting to WiFi. If this is not possible, reduce the quality of your feed. It would be best to make sure that Spotify doesn't automatically try to stream at a higher rate than likely.
To make this, open Spotify and tap the gear icon in the screen's top right corner. Tap Music Quality and look under the Streaming heading. Automatic is selected by default. Choose from Low, Normal, High, and Very High. If your application frequently hangs, choose Low or Normal.
Reinstall Spotify
If you tried other methods and they didn't work for you, remove Spotify from your device. On a computer, this means uninstalling the program. On the phone, delete the app. Remove all the traces of Spotify and download the application again.
Errors can occur during installation and cause reading problems. By removing and reinstalling the app, you can work from a new, current installation.
Check your Air Pods
If you are using Bluetooth earphones, make sure there are no settings that interfere with your experience. For example, Apple's Air Pods will pause the song if one is removed from your ear. If your Bluetooth device is not working correctly, Spotify may remain.
To test this, listen to a few songs without headphones, then with headphones. If Spotify only stops using the headphones, that's a good indication that something is wrong with your Bluetooth device.

Joe Biden's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week in context
Maybe now he can finally move beyond cleaning up the messes his predecessors left him?
It started with an attack by ISIS K terrorists during the Kabul airport evacuation, which killed 170 people, including 13 U.S. service members.
Then Hurricane Ida tore through Louisiana, knocking the power out for millions of people stranded in what became an evolving public health hazard. The storm, though attenuated, moved up the coast causing historic flooding in New York and New Jersey. It took 43 lives and destroyed thousands of livelihoods.
Then the U.S. Supreme Court refused to stay a Texas abortion ban that poses an existential threat to Roe v. Wade and abortion rights across the U.S.
Meanwhile, COVID-19 surged as millions of children went back to school and GOP governors did all they could to make their returns less safe. And then, following an announcement that the administration recommended third-dose booster shots to take on the pandemic, the heads of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration implicitly rebuked the administration, calling for more time to review the data.
If all that wasn't enough, the monthly jobs report showed a far less optimistic picture on the economy's rebound — with just a third of the number of new jobs created as were projected.
Any one of those crises would have made for a tough week for a president. All of them together made for just about the worst week a president has faced in a long time.
Because our news cycle has accelerated to a blur, we've all become accustomed to getting our news through a process that almost intentionally decouples it from the context that creates it. After all, by the time you've gotten the basic story, it's yesterday's — or even last hour's — news. Therefore we implicitly associate that news with the politics of the moment. And yet each of last week's headlines were far longer in the making.
Take Afghanistan. As I've written, seeing this debacle as simply Biden's fault requires a deliberate misreading of history (on that note, I highly recommend Spencer Ackerman's Reign of Terror to understand the through-line between the war on terror, the Trump presidency, and our current moment). This was a war built 20 years ago on a series of faulty premises, the inflammation of a radicalized brand of American exceptionalism, and an unwillingness by presidents since its inception to shake the wasp's nests. Though his tactics were faulty, Joe Biden made a courageous choice to end America's longest war, for which the proponents of war itself are now punishing him. But he was cleaning up their mess.
What about the delta variant and the jobs report? Once Biden's predecessor opened Pandora's box and injected politics into the pandemic, he set off a chain reaction that not even he can control. It saw everything from COVID-19 treatments like Hydroxychloroquine, to testing and tracing, to the vaccine rendered through the buzzsaw of our political polarization. Today, nearly half of our country remains unvaccinated. Despite all of the attention on breakthrough cases, the maps don't lie: delta has claimed more beds and more lives in communities where there has been less vaccination. For all its usual complexity, the story of the pandemic economy has been simple: when cases go up, the real economy — not stock prices, but jobs and access to consumer goods — suffers. Biden didn't make this mess, he's just left cleaning up Trump's.
Even Ida was a long time coming. The devastation in the wake of the storm should be best understood as yet another place where climate change and failing infrastructure collided. Climate change? Failing infrastructure? Biden is the first president in decades to actually try to take these on in any meaningful way. And though the bipartisan infrastructure deal and the budget reconciliation package aren't nearly enough, they're a real start — especially considering the most salient opposition is coming from senators from his own party.
However, there may yet be progress. President Biden's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week, was not, in fact, his week alone. It was a week where he cleaned up the messes left by his predecessors. Moving forward, he may have the opportunity to start building something of his own. In tandem, the bipartisan infrastructure deal and the budget reconciliation package have the potential to massively remake the fabric of American life, extending healthcare benefits, decimating child poverty, extending paid family and sick leave, supporting childcare and home- and community-based services for seniors and disabled people, reducing the cost of college, tackling climate change even as we adapt to the consequences we've wrought, rebuilding our crumbling pipelines, roads, and bridges, and more. To be sure, there's so much more than even what's in the bill that we need to secure the lives and livelihoods of Americans across our country — like a universal national health insurance program like Medicare for All envisions, or a true Green New Deal that remakes our economy around job security and a green future.
Nevertheless, these bills would deal a final death blow to the 40-year Reaganite governing consensus that's left us selling off public goods to private corporations to exclude the poorest of and extract from the rest of us. They would reestablish the government as a force for good, providing healthcare and school in the uS rather than a war machine dropping bombs abroad. Perhaps then, in the longview, even with these bills, Biden will still just be cleaning up other presidents' messes.

The In-Attività project - Together Actively in the Third Age- proposed by APS Maendeleo for Children (MfC) intends to promote the importance of physical activity in and for elderly people by supporting people over 65 - especially those in involuntary loneliness - in taking care of oneself through an innovative integrated model that focuses on psychophysical, personalized and integrated well-being. Specifically, the project aims to respond in a tangible way to the needs of one of the most fragile categories, the elderly, the most affected by the consequences of isolation due to COVID-19, helping them to overcome isolation by keeping on taking care of themselves, even inside their house. The project focuses on the concept of a model that can combine, both at a distance and in presence, the achievement of the elderly in the territory and many others in Italy, who are forced to stay at home without being able to carry out fundamental activities that benefit their physical and mental health.
The project will also work for the inclusion in the program of people with neurodegenerative diseases or cognitive disabilities even with different ages, in an integrated perspective, to study a highly inclusive model of mutual relational management between fragile targets.
1° LEVEL – UMBRIA REGION (in particular the territories of Terni, Narni, Amelia and the neighboring municipalities)
3° LEVEL – EUROPE and neighboring countries
Adapted Physical Activity (AFA) online
Adapted Physical Exercise (EFA) online
a) People over 65 without specific pathologies
b) People over 65 with some specific pathologies (including co-morbidities), in particular
b1) Type 1 Diabetes
b2) Major overweight/obesity
b3) Inflammations/pains/disorders at lumbar level, back, cervical
b4) Osteoporosis
c) People over 18 with intellectual-relational or cognitive disabilities (in particular AutisticSpectrum Syndrome, Down Syndrome, Cognitive retardation, etc ...)
3 online sessions of about 40'-45 '
• 1 tablet or 1 pc with stable internet connection
• 1 caregiver - where necessary - to accompany the exercises and/or to support the connection
Signature of consent to the processing of personal and health/sensitive data (with communication to the operators and project technicians of the specific pathologies). In absence of communication and consent regarding their own pathologies, it is possible to participate in the sessions of AFA only, under one's own responsibility.
1 start-up test, 1 intermediate test, 1 final test (strength measurement tests in the upper and lower limbs, etc.) to be done together with the online operators and with the support of 1 caregiver, if needed.
• 2 half-liter bottles of water
• 1 chair with backrest
• 1 broomstick
• 1 mat (if the person is able to get off the ground)
The project also foreseen to structure an awareness campaign on the importance of well-being in the third age
and on initiatives to combat loneliness and isolation. The communication and dissemination activity plays a
central role in the dissemination of the inclusion model developed by the project. In particular, by carrying out
a local information campaign, it will be possible to raise awareness among citizens on the issue of the inclusion
of the elderly and their psycho-physical well-being, and to promote the replicability of the In-Attività project and the activities that characterize it. Specifically, MfC expresses its interest through the creation of local, national and international networks and institutional lobbying for the development of social inclusion policies in its fields of activity. In fact MFC is the promoter of the international New DSA Network (N-DSA-N) a network of more than 100 public and private actors, Italian, European and extra-European, active on different themes and targets related to social inclusion and mental health (children, women, migrants, the elderly).

When Multiple Languages are Needed for a Privacy Policy
If you attract website visitors from all parts of the world, you need to consider providing multiple translations of your Privacy Policy to meet your legal obligations and limit your liability. Many privacy laws require you to clearly communicate your data handling procedures to your audience in a way they can understand.
This article discusses the important laws requiring a Privacy Policy for your website and the things you need to consider to lawfully serve a global audience.
Need a Privacy Policy? Our Privacy Policy Generator will help you create a custom policy that you can use on your website and mobile app. Just follow these few easy steps:
- Click on "Start creating your Privacy Policy" on our website.
- Select the platforms where your Privacy Policy will be used and go to the next step.
- Add information about your business: your website and/or app.
- Select the country:
- Answer the questions from our wizard relating to what type of information you collect from your users.
Enter your email address where you'd like your Privacy Policy sent and click "Generate".
And you're done! Now you can copy or link to your hosted Privacy Policy.
What is a Privacy Policy
A Privacy Policy is a legally required document that clearly and succinctly informs your website visitors about your policies and procedures for handling their personal data. It also stipulates that your procedures adhere to requirements of privacy laws.
Depending on where your website visitors live, your website may be subject to the privacy laws from multiple state, national or even international jurisdictions.
As is the case with all laws, ignorance is not an excuse. In the case of internet privacy laws, it's important to understand that where your business is located is not an indicator of which laws apply to you.
The laws in the jurisdictions where your website visitors live are the laws applicable to your website.
Knowing your legal responsibilities for handling private website visitor data is critical for protecting your business from legal liability.
What do Privacy Laws Cover
Privacy laws exist to educate and protect consumers in an increasingly internet-based economy. Data breaches, identity theft, computer hacks, concerns for the safety of children and other matters have inspired new and stronger privacy laws.
At the same time, consumers have lobbied for better protection of their private and personal information. Technology companies have responded with voluntary industry and individual standards for best privacy practices, as well as with smarter security settings on personal computers and mobile devices.
All of these laws and standards impact your website and your legal obligations.
Let's take a look at some of the specific laws that affect your Privacy Policy obligations.
The California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) is a Privacy law from the state of California. While it's a state law, it applies globally. Regardless of where you're located, if you collect or use personal information from a resident of the state of California, you must comply.
The Attorney General of the State of California issued a special guide to educate website owners about their legal obligations under CalOPPA. The guide provides specific instructions for how to comply with the law, and offers best practices for doing so.
Topping the list of recommendations is "Readability:"
Other laws also mandate the use of clear, simple, straightforward and easy to understand language in your Privacy Policy.
The EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) went into effect in May of 2018. If your website attracts visitors from the EU, the law applies to you. Similarly to CalOPPA, this law applies to you regardless of where in the world you're located.
Also like CalOPPA, the GDPR requires that you write your Privacy Policy in clear and plain language that's easy to understand. This is discussed in the text of Recital 58.
In Canada, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) also includes mandates for how your Privacy Policy must be written.
The act includes 10 principles for protecting consumer privacy, including "consent" and "purpose." Both of these require website owners to clearly communicate to users in a way that is "reasonable to expect that individuals can understand."
The Privacy Commissioner of Canada released its Privacy Toolkit: A Guide for Businesses and Organizations to help businesses comply with PIPEDA.
From the section on consent:
From the section on purpose:
The official language in Quebec is French. French law protects French-speaking language rights by requiring the use of French in certain business situations. Certain exclusions exist, such as those in which all participating parties have agreed to another language.
Because PIPEDA requires privacy law and all other existing laws to be upheld, it is reasonable to assume that Privacy Policies must be written in French if any website visitors live in French-speaking Canada.
As you can see from the examples above, virtually all privacy laws require you to write your Privacy Policy in a way your typical website or app user can understand. Users also must be able to easily access the information they need or want to know.
This is a seemingly straightforward requirement. However, considering the legalese of the past, it's a challenging standard to meet.
Establishing a thorough understanding of your site's typical visitors is important in order to write a Privacy Policy that meets legal requirements:
- Are your website visitors highly educated?
- Are they blue collar workers, or white collar professionals?
- Does your website attract minors?
Whatever the educational background of your typical website visitors, you should write your Privacy Policy in a way that the least educated and least informed user can understand it.
Why You May Need Multiple Versions of Your Privacy Policy
Whatever your type of website, app or business, and whatever the demographic profile of your website visitors, it is a near certainty that you are attracting visitors from multiple countries who speak various languages.
With the burden on you to ensure all of your website visitors can understand your Privacy Policy, it is a good idea to produce your Privacy Policy in multiple languages in order to limit your legal liability.
With over 7,000 languages spoken in the world, how can it be possible to provide a Privacy Policy in every language?
It probably isn't possible.
For practical reasons, a common school of thought is to provide a translated copy of your Privacy Policy for each language your website is written in. This is a conservative and easily managed approach.
How to Create Multiple Versions of Your Privacy Policy
Human and computerized translation services exist that can translate your final Privacy Policy into multiple languages. Google, Bing and Babylon are popular online options, though still somewhat flawed in accuracy, particularly when used to translate more complex sentences.
Human translation services such as WorldLingo offer a safer alternative, a non-disclosure agreement and a transparent set of internal checks and balances to ensure quality:
Making Your Privacy Policy Easily Accessible
Once you translate your website and Privacy Policy into multiple languages, you'll need to comply with the GDPR, CalOPPA and other laws that require your Privacy Policy to be easily accessible.
If your website users have to look extensively to find your Privacy Policy in the languages they can understand, then you have probably failed in your efforts to comply with applicable laws.
The state of California Attorney General's recommendations for making your Privacy Policy "available" includes a recommendation to make your Privacy Policy accessible by a link. The recommendation includes an instruction to display the link in a contrasting color or with symbols to draw attention to it:
Making it equally clear that your website and Privacy Policy may be viewed in another language is just as important.
Some websites use a selection tool with country flags to indicate available languages:
However, because a country flag is not necessarily an indicator of language (take Canada, for example), newer strategies are providing user-friendlier solutions.
Tesla solves this problem by presenting flags plus a separate language selector for Canada:
Another option is the use of a language selection button. This example below from USA.gov shows a simple button plainly presented in the top banner for easy switching from English to Spanish.
In the case of presenting many languages, this might not be as effective. A good idea in that case would be a language selector drop-down tool like this one:
An even simpler and more straight-forward approach is to allow your website visitors to type their preferred language into a text field:
Facebook offers a language preference selection tool in its footer, which is another good option:
In order to begin to determine whether to translate your website and Privacy Policy into multiple languages, start with Google Analytics.
Google Analytics helps you track a host of helpful information about your website visitors, including their location and language preferences. Once you know where the majority of your users are located you can decide which versions of your Privacy Policy you should make available.
If you aren't already using Google Analytics, here is a handy guide for getting started.
One of the primary goals of nearly every privacy law around the world is to improve consumer understanding of their privacy rights. Specifically, websites need to post an easy to find and easy to understand Privacy Policy.
If you attract visitors of multiple languages or from multiple countries, you should give very special consideration to offering your Privacy Policy in multiple languages. Doing this will help you limit your liability and meet legal requirements.

Crazy Ex Girlfriend has had songs about period sex, UTIs, a teenage girl seeing her first penis and heavy boobs, and now they have one for single women who have too many cats. I thought the tune was purrfect, but my cat hissed at the screen the whole time. She did not find it cute or funny. In fact, she told me to hit the meowte button when I tried to listen to it again.
Like I said this song is for the crazy cat ladies, it is just not for their cats!
BTW this is not the version that aired on The CW, obviously, this one is so much better. Oh and my cat wants me to tell you, she does not like the ending for this one. The one that aired on broadcast was much more apawpriate to her.
Lastly, don't forget to watch the season finale this Friday at 8p. I don't want this show to be over for the season because it brings me such joy! My cat on the other hand is thrilled about it.

A combined substituent and supramolecular approach for improving the electron donor properties of 1,3-dithiole-2-thione derivatives
Khan, T. and McDouall, J.J.W. and McInnes, E.J.L. and Skabara, P.J. and Frere, P. and Coles, S.J. and Hursthouse, M.B. (2003) A combined substituent and supramolecular approach for improving the electron donor properties of 1,3-dithiole-2-thione derivatives. Journal of Materials Chemistry, 13 (10). pp. 2490-2498. ISSN 0959-9428 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/b307025e)
Full text not available in this repository.Request a copyAbstract
A series of symmetrical 1,3-dithiole-2-thiones and -ones have been prepared via double lithiation of vinylene trithiocarbonate followed by trapping of the dianions with aryl carbaldehydes. The resulting diols are oxidised in high yield and the corresponding diketones are converted to thiophenes and furans using P2S5-NaHCO3 and P(OEt)(3), respectively. The majority of triaryl compounds undergo two reversible oxidation processes in the range 10.86 to 11.57 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The charge-transfer complex (8c)(2).TCNQ forms mixed donor-acceptor stacks. EPR spectroscopy confirms the presence of an open shell species, but the material is an electrical insulator. Reaction of 8c with diiodine forms a charge transfer complex with a conductivity of 1.2x10(-4) S cm(-1).

Women's Wear Daily: Parsons Xtreme Golf in Drive to Update Golf's Fashion Image
Women's Wear Daily discusses the growth of PXG & its Apparel division.
One gets a sense that even if golf weren't booming in the pandemic that PXG would be in full-on expansion mode.
An acronym for Parsons Xtreme Golf, as in GoDaddy-founding billionaire Bob Parsons, the golf equipment brand and its PXG Apparel offshoot, the latter helmed by his wife Renee, aim for 40 retail stores by 2024. Not ones to ride off into the sunset after he sold his domain registration company – unless it's in a golf cart at their Scottsdale ational Golf Club, which they renovated and expanded – the couple is having fun shaking up the staid golf scene.
"Golf is becoming cool again, and people don't want a lot of rules," Renee said of their mission to make the game more inclusive.

Cloud-based ERP solutions are not immune to fraud, cyber-breaches, or weak controls which are all serious threats to modern organizations. One core issue facing CFOs is understanding their role in Cloud ERP security i.e., ensuring that their organization minimizes the vulnerabilities of cloud-based platforms (which contain their most sensitive data), while still taking full advantage of the flexibility and visibility of the cloud.
Compliance is another issue on the radar when it comes to cloud ERP adoption. Auditors are enacting their financial auditing approach and frameworks to support the unique risk profile of cloud hosting, and organizations need to ensure that the compliance aspect of cloud-based ERP solutions is being handled appropriately.
Lastly, in some instances moving to the cloud can also heighten user frustration. Users are accustomed to using mobile and cloud-based technologies at home and may have a negative reaction to overly restrictive cloud security solutions, so finding the appropriate risk and enablement balance is key to the success of a cloud ERP solution.
The movement of financial and HR data to the cloud creates new risks related to anywhere, anytime, any device access. Business and IT leaders need to fully understand the cloud shared-responsibility model requirements related to security and compliance, and allocate appropriate budgets for cloud security and controls. To meet client needs, major ERP vendors have very potent security, audit, and conformity frameworks in place, but each organization has to build a controls-in-depth solution to align the end-to-end application and cyber-security and compliance components.
