Why Is Washington Risking War With Russia?
Kiev's siege of the Donbass, supported by the Obama administration, is escalating an already perilous crisis.Katrina vanden Heuvel and Stephen F. Cohen July 30, 2014 | This article appeared in the August 18-25, 2014 edition of The Nation.
The Silence of American Hawks About Kiev's Atrocities
The regime has repeatedly carried out artillery and air attacks on city centers, creating a humanitarian catastrophe—which is all but ignored by the US political-media establishment.
Stephen F. Cohen June 30, 2014
The USA undoubtedly has the technological-military advantage over Russia. However, Russians are ready to fight; this is their turf,their Rodina, and they HATE the American government with a white hot hate. I'm talking about ordinary citizens. Russkiye parni, the Russian lads, are ready to go at it against USA.
Meanwhile, in the USA, Obama has fired the best generals and admirals. The military is war weary. Do they think they are going to have a quick war with Russia and get it over with? This time, it's going to be different? Because superweapons? They may be able to win, but Russia has the ability to inflict massive damage from which the USA won't recover in our lifetime. Russia, or it's proxy Iran, will destroy Saudi's oil infrastructure. Now I know some people are saying that the USA is energy independent. No, it's not. We are producing about 30% to 40% of our own oil. Losing a big chunk of that other 60% is going to hurt, bad.
It's a very ugly situation. I don't think Obama has any power to stop it. He's president because he's weak and he'll do what he's told.

Alexandre Lacassange was a devoted and intelligent man when it came to forensic science – he studied it, taught it and most of all took it to a whole new level. He was born on August 17th, 1843 in Cahors, France and studied at the military school in Strasbourg, where he was recognised as a brilliant medical student after his exam. He was much respected and articulate; one of his cases was even recognised as the cause of the birth of forensic science. He worked in the military hospital, Vel- De-Grace in Paris and for many years as a professor in forensic medicine at the University of Lyons gaining many chairs.
When he was a professor he taught many well-known forensic scientists who were just learning the ropes then, including Edmond Lochard who was the founder of the first forensic science laboratory. At the same time he also participated in lots of forensic investigations and was a consultant plus expert in many criminal trials all over his country. Even though he had a professorship, being a member of Military Health Service he was sent to North Africa to improve his knowledge even further in clinical medicine.
Alexandre was a specialist in the field of toxicology and one of the first to develop a bloodstain pattern analysis, he was even the very first person to study bullet markings and any relations they had to any other weapons. He found out the relation where a bloodstain was found in a crime scene and what the crime might have been and the position of it. To find out the relations between bullets and there weapons, he examined the bullet, and counted and compared the number of lands and grooves.
Alexandre was also involved in founding his own criminology school; it was called Lacassange School of Criminology. Alexandre was influenced by his main rival, Lombroso's Italian School and the Lacassange School was influent from 1885. It taught both areas of criminology that was current at the time, "bio psychological" that focused on the importance of individual traits and making a difference between honest citizens and criminals, while the other area focused on the social factors. Most schools only focused on one area, so the Lacassange School was much more complex and sophisticated.
Later on in his life, Lacassange became a teacher for forensic medicine in Lyon Faculty of Medicine. Around this time in 1899, he was called to help solve the strange "Affair Gouffé" case (a 19th century murder in France), this instantly made him famous globally mainly because of his modern forensic techniques that definitely shook the whole forensic world, and we still use them today. Soon after this case he wrote the book "Annales d'anthropologie criminelles" (In English this means "Annals of criminal anthropology") which also was followed by other forensic science books.
Without Alexandre Lacassange's work in Forensic Science we may still have trouble recognising important characteristics in blood stains, and how we can match a bullet marking to its weapon.

Justice League Has 2 Surprises For You, Just Keep Watching Until the Very End!
Director Zack Snyder's Justice League (starring Gal Gadot, Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck) is about to meet the audience on November 17th. Here's a hot tip to those who will visit the movie theaters right on the opening weekend.
Justice League has 2 surprises waiting for the patient moviegoer who does not leave the room as soon as the movie's credits start flowing on the screen. We recommend that you sit tight, because good things come for those who wait. The producers announced that there will be two extra scenes at the very end.
Marvel has been doing these extras for some time now. DC is trying it for the second time after Suicide Squad. There at the very end, Bruce Wayne met Amanda Waller and obtained information on Aquaman and Flash.
The content of Justice League's extra scenes haven't been revealed, but the popular guess is that the scenes will be footage of solo movies of the heroes of Justice League. Whatever they are, they will surely be worth the wait.

Nowadays, nobody loves to stick to the rules, especially with regards to filing personal bankruptcy. Finding yourself in an instalment 13 personal bankruptcy plan may have the debtor tied lower to a lot of rules for three to five years. It's like getting a dental professional appointment for any root canal also it appears it simply will not finish. Are you aware the way you obtain that feeling that you'd prefer to be anyplace on the planet but here but you need to be there? Despite the fact that you won't want to exist you need to feel it and behave, following all of the dentist's rules.
When filing Chapter 13 Bankruptcy personal bankruptcy, every different district has their very own algorithm the filer are required to follow. One rule that many filers have a problem with is borrowing money without permission. Inside a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, the individual filing cannot undertake anymore debt without talking to using the personal bankruptcy court. Most courts even require debtor to transmit their tax statements towards the trustee for review. Should there be any changes, or perhaps a refund, the trustee may want to adjust your budget or perhaps participate or all the tax refund. You're subject to the personal bankruptcy trustee and just what rules they might require the debtor to file for to accomplish the program.
If you won't want to have issues and get the maximum advantages of your Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, you will want to do things how a trustee wants them done. Similar to the old expression while in Rome do because the Romans do. Not following combined with the simple rules provided to you are able to cause trouble that may require added participation of the personal bankruptcy attorney. Should you screw up, the personal bankruptcy attorney charges you. That's just the things they're doing. This can give them more billable hrs. I believe it is a lot simpler to simply stick to the rules.
Should you keep trying and buck the machine, together with your rebellious attitude, the personal bankruptcy judge could get rid of your Chapter 13 Bankruptcy situation. This really is most likely the worst factor that could affect you. You'll have a personal bankruptcy filing on your credit score, the creditors is going to be all fired rising once you, and you'll maintain worse shape than whenever you started.
If you are getting trouble choosing the flow from the court, you may consider converting your situation to some Chapter Seven personal bankruptcy. This obviously can't happen unless of course you qualify underneath the means test. In case your financial conditions have altered and you will no longer are able to afford in which to stay the Chapter 13 Bankruptcy personal bankruptcy plan this really is something that needs to be considered.
Attempting to become an instalment 7 if you would knowingly disobeyed court orders inside your Chapter 13 Bankruptcy personal bankruptcy plan, you are able to risk being denied a discharge entirely. Honesty is the greatest policy with regards to filing personal bankruptcy. The truth is, the guidelines were put there for any reason and it is best to just suck up and cope with them. Should there be something that's just impossible that you should follow talk to your personal bankruptcy attorney and face the facts mind on and then try to change it out in the court. And when the judge does not wish to change it out, learn how to accept it.

Action-suggestions to Manage Your Individual Finance
It's unbelievable that schools doesn't train us everything we have to understand but omitted an important subject, that's Personal Finance Management. No surprise we have seen rising installments of individuals with money owed and poor credit.
Listed here are 5 suggestions to better manage your individual finance.
Develop a checking account
Your hard earned money is something you work very difficult for. If you wish to develop a checking account on your own, as well as for your loved ones, it can be done but possibly just a little reduced than you may like. You will get began by saving all of the change you receive from shopping in the supermarket, in the service station and from elsewhere you may go. Putting all of this become a container, after that you can fill the container, daily. Because the container is full, roll the coins and deposit these funds to your new checking account. You may be surprised, however in just two days it's possible held on 20 dollars, or perhaps $ 100. Your checking account will grow, and you'll be controlling your hard earned money simultaneously!
Having to pay bills promptly
Having to pay your debts promptly will probably be a something you require to create a habit for the entire existence. Your credit history, your credit score as well as your personal credit history will rely on how frequently you are well on time when having to pay your debts. Having to pay your debts promptly is essential for any solid financial future. While you settle payments promptly, you're not as likely to pay for greater rates of interest, you will not pay late costs, and you'll develop a good credit score simultaneously. To repay what you owe promptly, constantly, make use of a system which will have your debts put in a pile in the same location. Place the bills which are due first on top of the pile. Place the bills which are due in the finish from the month towards the bottom from the pile. Consider the pile every single day, or at minimum every second day. If you have the cash, spend the money for bill on top of the pile and come through all of the bills for that month, and you can begin around the bills for the following month!
Building a good credit score
To construct a good credit score you need to repay what you owe promptly, and steer clear of having to pay individuals greater rates of interest. If your credit is good, you need to ensure that it stays. What many people don't realize is you can hurt your credit if you're moving frequently. Moving each month, moving each year, and moving a lot more than needed it going to reduce your credit rating. If you reside within the same house, exactly the same apartment for more than 5 years this will help to your credit. Avoid moving whenever possible. Obtain a copy of the credit history evaluate the addresses which are listed for you personally. Remove addresses that aren't relevant to in which you have resided previously.
Use coupons and cut costs
If you're not using coupons now, you ought to be. Using the cost of all things rising, or more, you have to learn how to help make your money go further. To create your hard earned money keep going longer, and to obtain more for the money look for coupons for that products or services that you simply always purchase. The key to presenting coupons is that this: dont use, clip or keep coupons for products that you simply dont usually use in your house. Coupons are enticing to enable you to get to test other products, and often will set you back much more money. Clip coupons from a manuscript, from the web online coupon sites, and search for coupons around the items you already purchase. This will provide you with the best savings possible, stretches the cash you've, which you need to make last considerably longer for the household budget.
Management of your capital involves working as a living
Management of your capital is really a financial factor, meaning you should know how much cash you've, and just how much cash the different options are. If you're investing more income than you're generating, you're probably depending in your charge cards just a significant amount of. If you're depending in your charge cards, your obligations are rising and you'll never repay individuals charge cards. Management of your capital involves your generating money, and investing the cash you get, and only that. If you want more income in your house budget, you are able to perform a couple of things: customize the job with better pay, request for any raise, obtain a second job, or develop a business of your. Depending on others for giveaways, making minimums obligations on charge cards you cannot afford, and living outside your means will simply return to result in you trouble later in existence.

Herman Miller Sayl Review, Plus Warranty Service Experience09 Feb 2019
This chair may not have the same icon status as some other Herman Miller designs (Aeron), but it still frequently gets screen time in TV and movies. I can't blame those set designers; this chair makes a statement that few others do in the task chair space. And I always get giddy seeing it.
I moved into a new condo in late 2016. I wanted a modern look with the furnishing. Somehow, things fell into place such that I ended up with a white and red color scheme in the living room. Not too keen on waiting for a custom order from Herman Miller, I happened to find this perfect white and red trim of their Sayl chair on Amazon, sold by a seller named OfficeDesigns. We'll come back to OfficeDesigns later.

Brewers of Boomtown
Head Brewer: Samuel Chewawunga (Chewy) cut his teeth brewing in the craft-metropolis of Portland, Oregon. His most sought after draught, Nose Job, had been around longer than 'Bulletproof Wallets' by Ghostface Killah. After being offered the chance to start a brewery of his own, Chewy came down from the Northwest to Southern Cali to claim his stake in the brewing business. In his spare time (wait, what spare time?) he can be found jamming out to reggae, putting something on the grill, or talking trash about the Patriots.
Lead Brewer: Ben Turkel got his start brewing in Maine on 5 gallon home brew kits and hops from his garden. After bouncing around from state to state and nation to nation, Ben settled in Los Angeles and began working at Boomtown in 2015. Finding fame and fortune in brewing, he now has an old desk, couple of tomato plants, and a selection of mid shelf liquor. In his spare time (hold on, Chewy allows spare time!?) he can be found swooning over his chickens, working on a piece of furniture, or tooling around the city on his bike, Athos.
Brewer: Kurt Boomer started his tale in the brewing world under his friend and mentor Brian Seffer at Claremont Craft Ales. After years of slaving on a 3 barrel system, he had the opportunity to become investor and brewer with Boomtown. We believe the names were fate. In his free time,(Wait, Chewy doesn't allow free time) he can be found hacking away at various golf courses with a beer and a few friends or wondering the hills with a camera in hand. Kurt can be found at the brewery from the keg washer to the mash tun.

ITP: UNLV, Non-conference Summary and Baylor Preview
Ryan Landreth, Daniel Cunningham and Joshua Brisco give Kansas basketball a letter grade in assessment of their non-conference schedule. What grade would you give KU? Comment below and tell us!
UNLV wilted under the defense of KU in the second half late Sunday, concluding the Jayhawks' non-conference schedule at an impressive 11-2 record. Wayne Selden found his shot for Kansas, and behind Frank Mason, Perry Ellis, and Cliff Alexander, KU fans should have a lot to look forward to in the second half of the year.
The Big 12 season began for eight of Kansas' opponents, so we discus how those teams faired in their first conference test of the year. We also go through news from around the country to talk about Virginia's win over Miami, Jahlil Okafor, and Kentucky's title odds against the field.
Later on, we talk some recruiting news with the announcement of ESPN five-star recruit Carlton Bragg announcing his college intent later this week. Will it be KU? At least one of us thinks so. Finally, we conclude our show by previewing Kansas' conference opening game at Baylor on Wednesday, and what KU should be concerned about in Waco.
Inside the Paint is a college basketball podcast that focuses on Kansas and the Big 12. Subscribe to the show on iTunes to stay informed with the most frequently updated and in-depth Kansas podcast on the internet! You can also check out the show's Facebook page to get all of the updates.

I am getting to see all my roommates Saved programs. If he has watched something and did not finish watching it then it shows up in my Saved. He also doesn't know how to set a reminder so that it only shows up on his TV.
THis is my account, so how can I change the settings so that reminders default to that particular Comcast box they are set on and so that I don't see all his half finished programs. If I can see his, than he can probably see mine and I watch some pretty risque material. I don't want him to know what I am watching and I also don't want to be reminded of every sporting event.

I'm seeing a real biased towards the giants from dev's, not good to see.Very disappointing.
Quote from: SidAyrus on November 18, 2016, 03:37:58 pmI'm seeing a real biased towards the giants from dev's, not good to see.Very disappointing.Get back under your bridge. A) Devs have hosted this exact same event for another clan B) Devs have offered to host these same events for any other clan wishing to give away a holding.
It was an open offer on the forum to any clans that want to wager a holding for a GM event. Seek and Destroy did the first of these events wagering a holding.
link please
Ub3r Is fine and know what they are doing, its best they leave it unsubbed for the rest of indev because this lets people know they arent trying to milk us and keeps a flame under them to get the work done as reasonably fast as possible.
About to ninja dis shit. *Strokes his dawnstaff* ....I was cleaning it....for the battle.

Precious metals have been one of the best investment opportunities of the 21st century simply because rich nations seem hell-bent on continuing to live beyond their means for as long as at all possible. This entire financial fiasco has been created by our fiat currency systems which, as explained earlier, gives various members of society the godly power of creating money. Giving godly powers to mortal humans never ends well and this time is no exception.
This is where precious metals (gold in particular) come in. As explained in the previous post, gold is real money that has to be earned before it can be spent. Our economy is breaking today primarily because our fiat currencies have allowed Western nations to spend trillions of dollars before they have earned the right to do so. It really is as simple as that.
Despite these undeniable facts, all indications are that governments will keep indulging in this complete madness of trying to borrow, print end spend themselves to prosperity for the foreseeable future. Just recently, Mario Draghi of the European Central Bank (ECB) announced that the ECB will print Euros to buy the debt of struggling European nations who want to continue living in the fantasy-land where you can pay taxes like Americans, have welfare like Scandinavians and produce like Greeks. Not to be outdone, Ben Bernanke of the US Federal reserve has just announced QE3 on the back of two totally ineffective rounds of quantitative easing (a.k.a. money printing). The only difference is that, while QE1 and QE2 were limited, QE3 will be totally open-ended and will run for "as long as is necessary".
The problem with all of this borrowing, printing and spending is called inflation. Basically, inflation is caused by the devaluation of a currency, seemingly making everything else more expensive (take a look at this page for a nice example of how inflation works). And yes, as countries keep on devaluing their currencies through excessive printing and borrowing, all assets denominated in that particular currency lose value as well – everything except for precious metals. This is the primary reason for buying gold: it protects you against inflation, thereby preserving the purchasing power you have earned through honest production.
But aside from this wonderful security offered by precious metals investing, it can also be highly profitable. You see, there is only enough investment grade gold on earth to give every person about one third of an ounce (about $580 at the moment). As more and more people wake up to the fundamental fallacy of fiat currencies and seek to preserve their purchasing power in precious metals, this increased demand will boost the price tremendously. It is true that gold has seen 500% in gains over the past decade, but its fair value when compared to the global fiat currency supply (called the shadow gold price) is currently over $20,000 per ounce (more than 10 times the actual gold price) thanks to the massive money printing going on in the US and now also in the EU.
Really, everyone should own some physical precious metals (please avoid paper gold promises like ETF's). It is the ultimate form of saving, is set for further gains and has virtually no downside risks. Go to Goldmoney.com, open yourself a proper bank account and start saving some real money.

Black Manta engages in undersea crime in an attempt to conquer the world beneath the waves. However, Aquaman thwarts Black Manta at every turn, a conflict that has led to Black Manta's murder of Aquaman's infant son. Tiring of his constant defeats, Black Manta sold his soul to the demon Neron for greater power and was thus transformed into a true denizen of the deep.

The week before last I had a hardware failure following a power outage and it turned out to be a major saga. My TV Digibox had effectively died and I was going to describe the pains I had to go through to get back up and running with my 100 or so hours of programmes restored, but no sooner was I poised with pen (keyboard) and paper (admin web page) than another issue arose, far more important than blogging or rescuing footage of Woodstock and Coronation Street (ok the Coro rescue was a very high priority I grant you).
My main server (debian squeeze) developed a problem wherein network packets were being dropped (seemingly randomly) for up to 30 seconds at a time. This might not seem like a big deal but my ssh connections were dropped, all my network mapped drives were disconnected and none of my backups could complete.
So where to start looking. Well let's take the obvious:
- network card (no, got two of them in the machine and both exhibit the same problem)
- network cable (no, got scores of those and they are all good)
- network switch (no, got two of them and changing over from one to the other made no odds)
- other machines interfering (powered them all off to no avail)
- complete power off/on of all machines and switches
- disconnect / reconnect the ADSL
Now let's think about the less obvious and more difficult to diagnose – perhaps the motherboard?
Dell were very helpful in that they had a spare motherboard (the server is quite old but otherwise sturdy) but only on an exchange basis (and at £185 not exactly a bargain) but their diagnostics would not determine if there was a fault that matched the symptoms.
I added another linux box to the network and it behaved perfectly well, everything steady as a rock – mapped drives, ssh connections etc. So my conclusion at that juncture was that it was either a motherboard fault or a debian update causing the issue. I had originally installed 'squeeze' from a release candidate download but it has had regular updates and has been performing flawlessly.
Next up then, replace the main disk and install ubuntu from a virgin 10.04LTS CD. I had some difficulties with the networking which should have been a clue but finally got it all resolved. My joy was short lived as the problem materialised again within half an hour.
Having replaced the original drive again and left the USB drives diconnected to simplify the setup, I also took one of the switches out of the equation and left all but one (windows) box on. Again it seemed to be fine for about 30 minutes.
I left mtr (My Trace Route) running between the debian box and the windows box. I was able to use the web on both boxes and copy files between them but only for a few minutes before the packet loss occured once again – even just between the two machines on the LAN.
I've left out some of the more esoteric things I tried for fear of embarrassment, but this morning, still in a state of despair, the only thing that stopped me buying a replacement server was that is is Easter Sunday.
What are the odds that both onboard and additional network cards might be dodgy? The hardware is all in its sixth year and runs 24/7 – statistically I don't know what the odds are but it was worth a shot, so I borrowed a card from another machine. Ok so I might have had more chance of winning a lottery.
I was gazing out at the beautiful sunshine and thinking of writing off yet another day's work when a thought struck me – only an outside chance, but I had disconnected the ADSL rather than rebooting it – the only piece of kit I hadn't completely restarted.
You already know then end of this saga …

Armstrong Asked to Return Tour Prize Money
(CNN) — Lance Armstrong has been asked to return all prize money from his seven annulled Tour de France victories by the sport's governing body, who confirmed the history books will show no winner of the famous race between 1999-2005.
The disgraced American operated "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen," according to the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).
At a meeting at their Swiss headquarters, the International Cycling Union (UCI) also announced an independent commission would examine its handling of the Armstrong case.
The 41-year-old is still to comment on claims he consistently used performance enhancing drugs throughout his career, though he has decided not to contest the case.
Now the UCI is determined to pursue him for the riches he received as a result of his seven straight victories in cycling's most prestigious race, while confirming the record books will be left blank.
A statement on the UCI's official website read: "With respect to Lance Armstrong and the implications of the USADA sanctions which it endorsed on Monday 22 October, the Management Committee decided not to award victories to any other rider or upgrade other placings in any of the affected events.
"The committee decided to apply this ruling from now on to any competitive sporting results disqualified due to doping for the period from 1998 to 2005, without prejudice to the statute of limitation.
"The International Cycling Union (UCI) has asked Lance Armstrong to return all the prize money he won from his seven Tour de France victories, that have been struck off due to allegations of doping."
"The UCI Management Committee acknowledged that a cloud of suspicion would remain hanging over this dark period — but that while this might appear harsh for those who rode clean, they would understand there was little honor to be gained in reallocating places."
More to follow….

Board approves several faculty appointments
The Baylor College of Medicine Board of Trustees has appointed Eric Mullins as its newest member of the board.
Mullins is a founder and co-chief executive officer of Lime Rock Resources, a private equity fund focused on acquiring and developing oil and gas properties.
"A recognized business and community leader, Eric Mullins will bring a valuable perspective to our Board of Trustees," said Dr. Paul E. Klotman, Baylor president, CEO and executive dean. "He has shown great interest in all aspects of the College and its mission areas of education, research and patient care. I look forward to working with him."
Prior to starting Lime Rock Resources, Mullins was managing director with Goldman Sachs in the Natural Resources Group. He first worked at the firm as a summer associate in 1989 and then joined full-time as a corporate finance associate in New York. He later moved to the Energy and Power Group where he remained for the rest of his career at Goldman Sachs. He was promoted to vice president in 1994 and transferred to the Houston office in 1995. He was named a managing director in 1999. Mullins' area of specialization was oil and gas related mergers and acquisitions and oil and gas related equity and debt financings.
A graduate of Houston's Strake Jesuit College Preparatory high school, Mullins received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Stanford University. He received his M.B.A. from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1990.
He serves on the board of directors for Anadarko Petroleum Corp., where he also is chair of the audit committee. He also is on the advisory board for the Houston chapter of the Wharton Alumni Club.
In addition to the appointment of Mullins, the Baylor College of Medicine Board of Trustees approved several significant faculty appointments:
Dr. Lea Steele was appointed as the Beth K. and Stuart C. Yudofsky Chair in Behavioral Neuroscience in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. She joined Baylor College of Medicine from the Institute of Biomedical Studies at Baylor University. Steele is one of the leading experts on the long-term health consequences of military service, particularly service in the Gulf War.
Dr. David Rowley was appointed to a Duncan Professorship in the Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center. Rowley, professor of molecular and cellular biology, has focused on prostate cancer research for more than 25 years and is a respected educator and mentor to medical and graduate students, both at the bench and in the classroom.
Dr. Jin Wang was awarded the Jack L. Titus Professorship in Pathology. He is a leading scientist in the research of apoptosis and autophagy in the immune system, including making a groundbreaking discovery in the mechanisms for immunological memory that opened a new avenue for targeting the molecular pathways regulating autophagy to boost the efficacy of vaccination against infections.
Dr. Anthony Means, professor of molecular and cellular biology, was appointed as a Baylor College of Medicine Distinguished Service Professor. Means is a pre-eminent biomedical scientist who studies how calcium/calmodulin participates in the regulation of cell function. He also is a leader in graduate education, serving as a mentor to students as well as to his faculty colleagues.

Casa De Luz: Casa de Luz, Austin: Peaceful Beginnings
I went to Casa De Luz for a girlfriend's birthday breakfast. It ended up being such a wonderful way to kick off a Thursday. To reach the dining hall one must traverse the gorgeous paths reminiscent of a buddhist retreat center. Casa De Luz is part of a larger infrastructure in which holistic approaches to well being are studied and practiced.
Once inside you pay immediately at the register then are welcomed to a smorgasboard of macrobiotic, vegan staples. That day we were treated to twig tea, whole grain porridge, sauteed greens, vegetable soup, fresh homemade tortillas, black beans, and we ended with a very fresh pecan pie.
Everything was also gluten free. A wonderful respite from heavy sugars, salts and allergens, Casa De Luz is a true Austin treat where one can experience whole foods from a community of people believing in nurturing. I can't wait to return for a dinner.

Over the last week, Lexar has introduced a new series of USB flash drives with enhanced endurance. The new drives are built to survive in tough conditions, such as very cold or very hot temperatures or water. As for performance and capacities, we are talking about fairly mainstream products with USB Type-A interface with low price points.
The Lexar JumpDrive Tough are designed to withstand physical impact (up to 750 PSI or 50 atm), extreme temperatures (from -25°C to +148.9°C) and water (it is claimed to be water resistant up to 98 feet, or 30 meters). This is compared to typical flash drives that can be stored at -20°C and operate at 0°C, or some that are also water resistant from use of resins. There are ranges of products on the market aimed at the physical endurance crowd, and the combination of extended temperature ranges, water resistance, and physical durability is the main selling point of Lexar's new drives.

Historic Debt Is At The Core Of Our Economic Decline
by Brandon Smith As I predicted just after the 2016 presidential election, a sordid theater of blame has exploded over the state of the U.S. economy, with fingers pointing everywhere except (in most cases) at the true culprits behind the crash. Some people point to the current administration and its pursuit of a trade war. Others point to the Federal Reserve, with its adverse interest rate hikes into economic weakness

As I open my laptop to begin writing today, something is different. I am surrounded by strangers. My elbows are jammed tightly by my sides; a most awkward position for typing. My ears are blocked, the sound of gushing air is all around me. I am thousands of feet in the air.
I am Singapore-bound; a day behind Daniel.
It occurs to me that it's been close to two years since I last flew somewhere; (not co-incidentally) about the same amount of time since I started my first company. Boy am I glad I decided to take 2.5 months off to travel around South East Asia when I did, in September 2011.
I had no idea at the time, but as fate would have it I would not be stepping away from Jaden Social and from day-to-day responsibility again for more than a few hours at a time.
Not until today.
This week, quite a few people asked me "Are you excited about your trip, Nic?"
What I told each of them, honestly, is "No… but I am looking forward to it."
For me, excitement comes from looking into the future, anticipating what might happen next. Realising there might just be something amazing around the bend.
The truth is, I have spent nearly every day of the last 2 years doing that. This week is no different.
When Daniel, Joel, Igor and I set out on this unlikely journey together, we always knew that we could do something incredible together. Make waves, turn heads, and explore the world while doing it.
But seeing possibility and achieving in actuality are far from the same thing.
The endless hours of proactive planning, strategising, building and lost sleep (aka 'getting ahead') are what have made the possible into the actual.
No, what I am feeling today is not 'excitement'. What I am experiencing is more akin to an acute sensation of something called satisfaction.
With no chance of any emails, phone calls or carrier-pigeons bearing news of disaster piercing my reality for the next 8 hours, I am taking this chance to sink into my seat, pull my sights back from an eternally futuristic gaze, and indulge myself a little in the then and the now.
As I leave life in Sydney behind for a week, I am extremely comforted by the thought of 12 incredible people working their asses off to turn the many cogs that were set into motion in my bedroom in Newport Beach not so long ago.
For the very first time I can take a step back, look down from a bird's eye view, and observe this magnificent and self-sufficient creature living a life all on its own. Without me.
Maybe I will have kids one day after all.

There's nothing like taking a couple hundred friends to a ball game. The buses were loaded and off we went to Hadlock Field.
Home to the Portland Seadogs, Hadlock is a super fun minor league stadium. Every seat is comfortable with a perfect view. Tonight we played Reading, the Phillies' AA affiliate.
The entire Camp Skylemar was spread across the park. No matter who was there, it felt like "our place". We saw ourselves on the jumbo-tron several times, and got to know all the ushers like old friends. Lots of patrons remarked about how well-mannered the Skylemar guys were.
It's a family-oriented ball park, and the prices are amazingly reasonable. $30 was plenty to buy food, a souvenir and still have money left to contribute to the "World of Change" bottle back at camp. Hot dogs, burgers, fries – all the usual favorites. Best of all were the Sea Biscuits. It's like a chipwhich but with homemade cookies and really good ice cream.
Some highlights to remember: Logan A caught a fly ball…one of the Sky II bunks lucked out by sitting next to a corporate skybox with plenty of extra food that needed to be eaten… there just happened to be a girls camp attending as well.
Our guys rocked the house singing, "Sweet Caroline". The whole stadium was smiling, watching us sing every word, probably way too loud.
The Seadogs lost, 4-3, but we didn't care. They're still our favorite team in the state of Maine.

The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (commonly referred to as RICO Act or RICO) is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization. RICO was enacted by section 901(a) of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970 (Pub.L. 91-452, 84 Stat. 922, enacted October 15, 1970). RICO is codified as Chapter 96 of Title 18 of the United States Code, 18 U.S.C. § 1961–1968. While its intended use was to prosecute the Mafia as well as others who were actively engaged in organized crime, its application has been more widespread.
It has been speculated that the name and acronym were selected in a sly reference to the movie Little Caesar, which featured a notorious gangster named Rico. The original drafter of the bill, G. Robert Blakey, refused to confirm or deny this.[1] G. Robert Blakey remains the country's foremost expert on RICO;[2] his former student Michael Goldsmith also gained a reputation as one of the nation's leading RICO experts.[3]
Under RICO, a person who is a member of an enterprise that has committed any two of 35 crimes—27 federal crimes and 8 state crimes—within a 10-year period can be charged with racketeering. Those found guilty of racketeering can be fined up to $250,000 and/or sentenced to 20 years in prison per racketeering count. In addition, the racketeer must forfeit all ill-gotten gains and interest in any business gained through a pattern of "racketeering activity." RICO also permits a private individual harmed by the actions of such an enterprise to file a civil suit; if successful, the individual can collect treble damages.
When the U.S. Attorney decides to indict someone under RICO, he or she has the option of seeking a pre-trial restraining order or injunction to temporarily seize a defendant's assets and prevent the transfer of potentially forfeitable property, as well as require the defendant to put up a performance bond. This provision was placed in the law because the owners of Mafia-related shell corporations often absconded with the assets. An injunction and/or performance bond ensures that there is something to seize in the event of a guilty verdict.
In many cases, the threat of a RICO indictment can force defendants to plead guilty to lesser charges, in part because the seizure of assets would make it difficult to pay a defense attorney. Despite its harsh provisions, a RICO-related charge is considered easy to prove in court, as it focuses on patterns of behavior as opposed to criminal acts.[4]
There is also a provision for private parties to sue. A "person damaged in his business or property" can sue one or more "racketeers." The plaintiff must prove the existence of a "criminal enterprise." The defendant(s) are not the enterprise; in other words, the defendant(s) and the enterprise are not one and the same. There must be one of four specified relationships between the defendant(s) and the enterprise. A civil RICO action, like many lawsuits based on federal law, can be filed in state or federal court.[5]
Both the federal and civil components allow for the recovery of treble damages (damages in triple the amount of actual/compensatory damages).
Although its primary intent was to deal with organized crime, Blakey said that Congress never intended it to merely apply to the Mob. He once told Time, "We don't want one set of rules for people whose collars are blue or whose names end in vowels, and another set for those whose collars are white and have Ivy League diplomas."[4]
The time before RICO was signed into law (October 15, 1970), was referred to as "The Golden Age" by those involved in organized crime. The term "The Golden Age" can be found on any of the multitude of "Mob Speak" glossaries on the internet.
Under the law, racketeering activity means:
Pattern of racketeering activity requires at least two acts of racketeering activity, one of which occurred after the effective date of this chapter and the last of which occurred within ten years (excluding any period of imprisonment) after the commission of a prior act of racketeering activity. The U.S. Supreme Court has instructed federal courts to follow the continuity-plus-relationship test in order to determine whether the facts of a specific case give rise to an established pattern. Predicate acts are related if they "have the same or similar purposes, results, participants, victims, or methods of commission, or otherwise are interrelated by distinguishing characteristics and are not isolated events." (H.J. Inc. v. Northwestern Bell Telephone Co.) Continuity is both a closed and open ended concept, referring to either a closed period of conduct, or to past conduct that by its nature projects into the future with a threat of repetition.
Although some of the RICO predicate acts are extortion and blackmail, one of the most successful applications of the RICO laws has been the ability to indict or sanction individuals for their behavior and actions committed against witnesses and victims in alleged retaliation or retribution for cooperating with federal law enforcement or intelligence agencies.
Violations of the RICO laws can be alleged civil lawsuit cases or for criminal charges. In these instances charges can be brought against individuals or corporations in retaliation for said individuals or corporations working with law enforcement. Further, charges can also be brought against individuals or corporations who have sued or filed criminal charges against a defendant.
Anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) laws can be applied in an attempt to curb alleged abuses of the legal system by individuals or corporations who utilize the courts as a weapon to retaliate against whistle blowers, victims, or to silence another's speech. RICO could be alleged if it can be shown that lawyers and/or their clients conspired and collaborated to concoct fictitious legal complaints solely in retribution and retaliation for themselves having been brought before the courts.
Although the RICO laws may cover drug trafficking crimes in addition to other more traditional RICO predicate acts such as extortion, blackmail, and racketeering, large-scale and organized drug networks are now commonly prosecuted under the Continuing Criminal Enterprise Statute, also known as the "Kingpin Statute". The CCE laws target only traffickers who are responsible for long-term and elaborate conspiracies; whereas the RICO law can be charged for a variety of organized criminal behavior.[6]
In 1979, the United States federal government went after Sonny Barger and several members and associates of the Oakland chapter of the Hells Angels using RICO. In United States v. Barger, the prosecution team attempted to demonstrate a pattern of behavior to convict Barger and other members of the club of RICO offenses related to guns and illegal drugs. The jury acquitted Barger on the RICO charges with a hung jury on the predicate acts: "There was no proof it was part of club policy, and as much as they tried, the government could not come up with any incriminating minutes from any of our meetings mentioning drugs and guns".[7][8].
On November 21, 1980, Genovese crime family boss Frank "Funzi" Tieri was the first Mafia boss to be convicted under the RICO Act.
In some jurisdictions, RICO suits have been filed against abusive Catholic dioceses, using racketeering laws to prosecute the seemingly untouchable higher-ups in the episcopacy. A Cleveland grand jury cleared two bishops of racketeering charges, finding that their mishandling of sex abuse claims didn't amount to criminal racketeering. Certain lawyers and abuse advocates have openly wondered why a similar suit was not filed against archbishop Bernard Law, who escaped prosecution by going into exile in Vatican City.[9][10]
In June 1984, the Key West Police Department in Monroe County, Florida was declared a criminal enterprise under the Federal RICO statutes after a lengthy United States Department of Justice investigation. Several high-ranking officers of the department, including Deputy Police Chief Raymond Cassamayor, were arrested on federal charges of running a protection racket for illegal cocaine smugglers.[11] At trial, a witness testified he routinely delivered bags of cocaine to the Deputy Chief's office at City Hall.[12]
On March 29, 1989, financier Michael Milken was indicted on 98 counts of racketeering and fraud relating to an investigation into insider trading and other offenses. Milken was accused of using a wide-ranging network of contacts to manipulate stock and bond prices. It was one of the first occasions that a RICO indictment was brought against an individual with no ties to organized crime. Milken pled guilty to six lesser offenses rather than face spending the rest of his life in prison.
On September 7, 1988, Milken's employer, Drexel Burnham Lambert, was also threatened with a RICO indictment under the legal doctrine that corporations are responsible for their employees' crimes. Drexel avoided RICO charges by pleading no contest to lesser felonies. While many sources say that Drexel pleaded guilty, in truth the firm only admitted it was "not in a position to dispute the allegations." If Drexel had been indicted, it would have had to post a performance bond of up to $1 billion to avoid having its assets frozen. This would have taken precedence over all of the firm's other obligations—including the loans that provided 96 percent of its capital. If the bond ever had to be paid, its shareholders would have been practically wiped out. Since banks will not extend credit to a firm indicted under RICO, an indictment would have likely put Drexel out of business.[13]
In 2002, the former minority owners of the Montreal Expos baseball team filed charges under the RICO Act against Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig and former Expos owner Jeffrey Loria, claiming that Selig and Loria deliberately conspired to devalue the team for personal benefit in preparation for a move.[14] If found liable, Major League Baseball could have been found liable for up to $300 million in punitive damages. The case lasted for two years, successfully stalling the Expos' move to Washington or contraction during that time. It was eventually sent to arbitration where the arbiters ruled in favor of Major League Baseball,[15] permitting the move to Washington to take place.
RICO laws were successfully cited in NOW v. Scheidler, 510 U.S. 249, 114 S. Ct. 798, 127 L.Ed. 2d 99 (1994), a suit in which certain parties, including the National Organization for Women, sought damages and an injunction against pro-life activists who physically block access to abortion clinics. The Court held that a RICO enterprise does not need an economic motive, and that the Pro-Life Action Network could therefore qualify as a RICO enterprise. The Court remanded for consideration of whether PLAN committed the requisite acts in a pattern of racketeering activity.
On April 26, 2006, the Supreme Court heard Mohawk Industries, Inc. v. Williams, which concerned what sort of corporations fell under the scope of RICO. Mohawk Industries had allegedly hired illegal aliens, in violation of RICO. The court was asked to decide whether or not Mohawk Industries, along with recruiting agencies, constitutes an 'enterprise' that can be prosecuted under RICO, but in June of that year dismissed the case and remanded it to Court of Appeals.[16]
On August 20, 2006 in Tampa, Florida most of the state leadership members of the street gang, the Latin Kings, were arrested in connection with RICO conspiracy charges to engage in racketeering and currently await trial. The operation, called "Down Crown," targeted statewide leadership of the Latin Kings. The raid occurred at the Caribbean American Club. Along with Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, Tampa Police Department, the State Attorney's Office, the FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms were involved in the operation. Included in the arrest were Luis Hernandez, Celina Hernandez, Michael Rocca, Jessica Ramirez, Reinaldo Arroyo, Samual Alvarado, Omari Tolbert, Edwin DeLeon, and many others, totaling 39.
Also, in Tampa, on October 16, 2006, four members of the Gambino crime family (Capo Ronald Trucchio, Terry Scaglione, Steven Catallono and associate Kevin McMahon) were tried under RICO statutes, found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.
In 2005, the U.S. Department of Justice's Operation Family Secrets indicted 15 Outfit members and associates under RICO predicates. As of 2009 Joseph Lombardo and James Marcello have been sentenced to life imprisonment.
Anthony Pellicano (born March 22, 1944, in Chicago, Illinois) is a former high-profile Los Angeles private investigator who recently served a sentence of three and a half years in federal prison for illegal possession of explosives, firearms and homemade grenades, and who was arrested on February 4, 2006, on unlawful wiretapping and racketeering charges.
A federal grand jury in the Middle District of Pennsylvania handed down a 48-count indictment against former Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas Judges Michael Conahan and Mark Ciavarella.[17] The judges were charged with RICO after allegedly committing acts of Wire fraud, Mail Fraud, Tax Evasion, Money Laundering, and honest services fraud. The judges were accused of taking kickbacks for housing juveniles, that the judges convicted for mostly petty crimes, at a private detention center. The incident was dubbed by many local and national newspapers as the "Kids for cash scandal".[18]
Dennis L. Gil Bernardez, 33, of Landover, Md., the gunman in an MS-13 shooting, was sentenced to 80 years in prison on November 18, 2009 for attempting to murder rival gang members on Oct. 6, 2008, at a park near homes in Reston. His accomplice, Jose M. Aguilar Orantes, 18, of Reston, who provided the firearm, was sentenced to 55 years in prison for his role in the attempted murders. On July 29, 2009, Aguilar Orantes and Bernardez were found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder in aid of racketeering, conspiracy to commit assault with a dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering, attempted murder in aid of racketeering, assault with a dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering, and use and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence. Cruz was convicted of being an accessory after the fact to attempted murder in aid of racketeering and assault with a dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering. Bernardez and Cruz were also convicted of being an illegal alien in possession of a firearm.
The US RICO legislation has other equivalents in the rest of the world. In spite of Interpol having a standardized definition of RICO-like crimes, the interpretation and national implementation in legislation (and enforcement) widely varies. Most nations do cooperate with the US on RICO enforcement only where their own related laws are specifically broken, but this is in line with the Interpol protocols for such matters.
By nation, alphabetically
Without other nations enforcing similar legislation to RICO many cross border RICO cases would not be possible. In the overall body of RICO cases that went to trial, at least 50% have had some non-US enforcement component to them. It must be noted that the offshoring of money away from the US finance system as part racketeering (and especially money laundering) is typically a major contributing factor to this.

Daily Fantasy NFL Pre Season Picks - Week 1
Aug. 09, 2017
You love your sports, you love your teams, and you're always looking for more news about them.
The final leg of the 2017 major championship schedule is upon us and there is no shortage of storylines going into the week. Jordan Spieth, coming off his OPEN Championship win at Royal Birkdale is now just one major away from the career Grand Slam. He is already a part of a pretty elite group of 17 golfers to have completed three legs of the Slam and will look to join the only five players (Nicklaus, Sarazen, Woods, Hogan, Player) to have ever completed the Grand Slam. Rory McIlroy is one of the 12 players to have completed three legs of the Grand Slam(without the 4th) but has been close many times at Augusta National where the Masters is his remaining tournament.
This year's PGA Championship will be held at the Quail Hollow Club for the first time in its history. That is music to Rory's ears. Not only has he won the PGA Championship twice, Quail Hollow has been the home of the Wells Fargo Championship where McIlroy has had tremendous success over the years. He won the event in 2015 and has finished Top 10 in five straight.
Both McIlroy and Spieth enter the final major of the season in good form as well. Spieth finished T13 at the WGC Bridgestone and had back to back wins at the Travels and OPEN Championships before that. McIlroy finished T5 at the WGC and finished T4 at the OPEN Championship two weeks ago.
I have added both PGA championship five-year history and Quail Hollow(Wells Fargo) course history to my sheet this week but will using that data at a lower weight than usual. After the 2016 Wells Fargo Championship, the team at Quail Hollow overhauled the course with the PGA Championship in mind. For a complete hole by hole breakdown check out the . Short on time? Here is a brief description of the changes:
1. Holes #1 was combined with Hole #2 which lengthened it making it a cool 524 yards.
2. Hole #2 is now a 452 yard Par 4(previously a Par 3).
3. Was converted from a Par 5 to a long Par 4 that is very tough with bunkers protecting both sides of the fairway in the landing zone and around the green.
4. Hole #11 was lengthened about 40 yards and a large Oak tree was removed at the corner and replaced with bunkers which will challenge those trying to cut the corners.
5. Brand new greens which were converted from Bentgrass to a....wait for it.......Champion UltraDwarf BermudaGrass. Ok that just sounds cool to say, I really don't know much more about it besides it was trucked in from Texas in refrigerated trucks and is grown with worm turds. So cool!
6. Thousands of trees were removed to help re shape the look and also to help get more sun to the greens.
One thing that hasn't changed(besides playing longer than in the video below) is one of the most challenging finishing stretches on the PGA Tour. The Green Mile!
The winning score at the Wells Fargo Championship has varied over the years. Most recent winner Jame Hahn took home the hardware with a -9 final score while Rory McIlroy's two wins (-21 in 2015 & -15 in 2010) were the two lowest in the tournament history. With the changes and new challenges presented for this years PGA Championship I am predicting a winning score of -8 to -10 but it will really depend on the weather. So far the fore cast is showing temperatures in the 80's throughout the four days with winds of 5-10 mph and an average of 50% chance of showers. I will continue to monitor the winds and the forecast throughout the week leading up to lineup lock and will provide those updates on the weather tab on the and through my Twitter().
Rory McIlroy (DK-$11,800 / FD-$10,300) - Hard not to go with Rory here as my top pick early on. He has not only won the PGA championship twice, he has also won the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow twice. Using the , I looked at the last 24 rounds overall and Rory ranks 2nd in overall Strokes Gained Tee to Green thanks to a 1st ranking Off the Tee which will be huge once again this week. He was excellent this week ranking 2nd in SG:OTT(6.466), 5th in SG:ATG(3.171) but couldn't pull off the win ranking 59th in SG:APP and 34th in SG: Putting. If he can continue giving himself opportunities from his dominating off the tee game and maybe make a few more putts, he will not only lurk this week but should battle for the trifecta. A third PGA and third win at Quail Hollow.
Brendan Steele (DK-$7,300 / FD-$5,500) - His opening round 73 held him back at the Bridgestone this past week but he closed strong with three straight rounds in the 60's and overall ranked 7th in Strokes Gained Off the Tee and 8th in Strokes Gained Approach. The form wasn't great entering the Bridgestone as Steele missed back to back cuts at the OPEN Championship and Quicken Loans National but did have Top 15 finishes in three of the four before that(Travelers, US Open, PLAYERS). On top of that, he has nice recent form at the Wells Fargo(Quail Hollow) with a T14 in 2016, T9 in 2015, and T30 in 2014. From a betting standpoint, I wouldn't bet him outright to win but from a DFS perspective I will gladly take a Top 25 from a mid-range player. Better yet, he is only $5,500 on FanDuel.
Kevin Chappell (DK-$7,000 / FD-$6,000) - Another one of my favorite value plays is Chappell this week as he fits the profile I am looking for. He comes in with some nice recent form with a T13 at the Bridgestone and T8 at the RBC Canadian Open the week before. Statistically, he has gained strokes off the tee in six of his last eight tournaments while gaining strokes on the approach in seven of those eight. Although he finished T41 in last years Wells Fargo, he has had success here with a T16 in 2015 and T11 in 2014. At just $7K on DeaftKings and $6K on FanDuel, he will be one of my core players this week.
Be sure to head over to by Tuesday afternoon to check out my weekly DFS PGA article with top picks when looking at Course History, Current Form, and Stats. I also break down the top tagged players on and provide some GPP pivot plays based on ownership projections. Stay tuned for a big week ahead.

It was a good feeling to finally get back on the top step at Monza – especially after another tough start to the race. The car was just flying out there after those difficult first few laps and it was great to be able to capitalise on the pace I felt I'd had right from the beginning of the weekend. Obviously, with Nico coming second I haven't been able to close the gap too much – but there's still plenty of points to be won and I'm glad to have taken a step forwards. Despite the highs and lows, I'm still well and truly in the hunt for the Championship and that is something that gives me huge motivation for the final six races – starting in Singapore. It's a great place to begin the final flyaway phase of the season. The city is buzzing and the track is mega. It's a street circuit and I love street circuits. I won there in 2009 which was a really special experience, plus I had a podium – which should really have been a win – at the first race in 2008. My luck hasn't been great at this circuit since then but hopefully that will change next weekend.
Singapore: In The Cockpit With Lewis
What's really unique about Singapore is that we stay on European time throughout the weekend – so you're waking up in the afternoon and going to bed as the sun rises. You're effectively working a night shift, so I'm sure the guys and girls who do that on a regular basis back at our factories would have no problem with it at all! But for us, it's something a bit different and it can take a day or two to adjust. We've been coming here for a few years now, though, so you get used to it.
Singapore is a really special race. The obvious difference is, of course, that it's a night race. But beyond that, it's a spectacular event in a great city. What makes this one quite tough is the heat – and particularly the humidity. As a driver, you can lose as much as a few kilos during the race, which makes it a real challenge to stay focused when you're flat out for nearly two hours. It's so important to stay hydrated and keep your energy levels up, as a tiny loss of concentration can easily ruin your race.
Finding the braking point into Turn 1 is tricky. Like a lot of places around the circuit it's really bumpy and the car can move around quite a lot. You then have to drift wide on exit – taking all of the kerb at the right-handed Turn 2 before braking in a straight line for another left at Turn Three. You need a good exit here before accelerating all the way through the curve at Turn 4 and braking across the bumps once again into Turn 5.
Keeping your minimum speed as high as possible through here is really important, as you need a fast exit heading through the first DRS zone along the back straight. There's a small kink on the way through here and you need to be as smooth as you can, with the car bottoming all the way down to Turn 7. You generally brake at around the 100 metre sign for this corner, carrying lots of speed into the apex. The car is all over the place at this point – again because of the bumps.
It's hard braking again into the tight hairpin at Turn 8. At this point the tyres are really hot so getting good traction can be difficult, which makes Turn 9 even tougher. You have to be really careful and patient through here, as the exit is really tight to the wall and you can easily have an oversteer moment which could ruin your race.
Then, we're into quite a tricky part of the circuit – starting with Turn 10, where we used to have a terrible chicane but now there's quite a quick left-hander into a fast chicane at Turns 11 and 12. The track gets pretty tight here as you go over the bridge, where it's really easy to lock up the front wheels as you brake hard for the Turn 13 hairpin.
The exit from Turn 13 is crucial for a good run down the straight and into Turn 14, where there's surprisingly good grip on entry – allowing you to brake nice and late. After another short straight it's into the really technical final sector – starting with the Turn 15, 16 and 17 sequence. You're braking an turning all the way through the sweeping left-hander at Turn 15 so it's really easy to lock up, then your immediately into a right and immediate left at Turns 16 and 17.
It's easy to lose the back end through Turns 18 and 19, then you have to use the kerbs a little through the fast chicane at Turns 20 and 21 – again a very bumpy part of the track where a small oversteer moment can easily see you clip the wall. The final two corners are almost one double-apex turn, taken really fast and firing you down the start / finish straight for another lap.
