Showtime's Ailes series has modest start, but it's early
NEW YORK (AP) — Intensely loyal viewers routinely make Fox News Channel the most-watched cable network each week. So how many people want to watch a miniseries about Roger Ailes, the man who developed and ran the place for its first two decades?
The safest answer for Showtime's "The Loudest Voice in the Room" is it's early.
The Nielsen company said 299,000 watched Sunday's 10 p.m. debut of the miniseries starring Russell Crowe, or roughly one-tenth of the audience Sean Hannity pulls in each night. But for a premium cable network, that's only part of the story. When you add replays and streams, Sunday's audience swelled to 651,000, Nielsen said.
Often, as much as 80% of an audience for a Showtime series watches on a delayed basis, network spokeswoman Johanna Fuentes said.
"Since we're not ad-supported, that's just fine by us," Fuentes said via Twitter. "Show will be at a million (viewers) by week's end."
Another Showtime miniseries, "Escape from Dannemora," reached 397,000 viewers at the first episode's premiere in November. By the end of last month, that episode had been seen by just under 6 million viewers.
The Showtime miniseries, "Patrick Melrose," had 219,000 viewers at its debut last year. Showtime's "Homeland" (1.24 million), "Billions" (771,000) and "The Affair" (521,000) had larger audience for the debuts of their most recent seasons — but as returning season premieres for existing popular series, they would be expected to have a larger audience.
Elsewhere, NBC's two-night coverage of the first Democratic primary debate of the 2020 political season dominated the television landscape. Wednesday night's debate reached 15.3 million people across the broadcast network, as well as MSNBC and Telemundo. The audience for Thursday was 18.1 million, the largest ever for a Democratic primary debate.
Boosted by the political nights, NBC won the week in prime time, averaging 4.9 million viewers. CBS had 3.6 million, ABC had 3.3 million, Fox had 1.9 million, ION Television had 1.5 million, Univision had 1.4 million, Telemundo had 1.1 million and the CW had 680,000.
Fox News Channel was the week's most popular cable network, averaging 2.37 million viewers. MSNBC had 2.3 million, ESPN had 1.28 million, HGTV had 1.23 million and USA had 1.04 million.
ABC's "World News Tonight" topped the evening newscasts with an average of 7.8 million viewers. NBC's "Nightly News" was second with 6.8 million and the "CBS Evening News" had 5 million viewers.
For the week of June 24-30, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: "Democratic Debate" (Thursday), NBC, MSNBC, Telemundo, 18.1 million; "Democratic Debate" (Wednesday), NBC, MSNBC, Telemundo, 15.3 million; "America's Got Talent," NBC, 10.14 million; "60 Minutes," CBS, 7 million; "The Bachelorette," ABC, 5.74 million; "Big Brother" (Tuesday), CBS, 4.94 million; "Celebrity Family Feud," ABC, 4.87 million; "American Ninja Warrior," NBC, 4.67 million; "The $100,000 Pyramid," ABC, 4.59 million; "Big Brother" (Wednesday), CBS, 4.53 million.
ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co. CBS is owned by CBS Corp. CW is a joint venture of Warner Bros. Entertainment and CBS Corp. Fox is owned by 21st Century Fox. NBC and Telemundo are owned by Comcast Corp. ION Television is owned by ION Media Networks.

Basics of Losing Weight
How to get rid of belly and sides? Very EASY! Follow THESE basics of losing weight and your photos will change for sure.
I think you imagined yourself many times with a shiny, perfect, seductive figure as the representatives of the covers of glossy magazines. They are composed fine, almost flawless.
What stands on the way to this gorgeous image? Pounds of Fat and Miles of Laziness!
Where can appear magical and seductive shape, if your physical activity is restricted by travelling in the car to and from work, and even at home – small dash to the fridge and back during the advertising break when watching your favorite TV programs daily!
This situation is not only you, but in 70% of the population. For good reason, scientists have long trumpeted the alarm, because today almost every fifth person in the world has exceeded its normal weight. All thanks to poor eating habits and inactivity.
Breaking this habitual way of life is difficult! But when, through the belt on your pants outweighs pretty surround belly, and your figure already takes a lot of similarities with the cartoon pig, then it's time finally to come to your senses and begin to attach yourselves to a healthy, right way of living.
You can start with a fundamental review of your daily diet. If you are ready to spend time on yourself loved one, then make at least the food diary for a week and a half, which captures every your meal and just indicate the size of the eaten portions.
Then consult to a nutritionist, make a list of useful products and compare with the list what you eat during a week. If it is matched put one score for yourself. Not much work?
But as stated in the famous slogan: "We are, what we eat." So, we are so far from a good idea, am I right?
It is sad and hurt, but the truth is usually bitter as radish, and has magical and healing properties. Looking to face of the truth, it's hard to pretend as if nothing had happened and continue your job :).
If you decide to go the right way, I am ready to shake your brave hand! To abandon the usual delicious things takes a lot of courage! And in fact they contribute to the emergence of a tummy and "ears" on the sides.
Follow my advice, consult a registered dietitian, and do not throw headlong into the sea teeming diets. Some of them like dolphins can help you, but the others like sharks swallow your body, worsening health.
The matters relating to health are better to left to professionals. A dietician examine you first, get acquainted with the history of disease, will make the necessary measurements of body size, calculate the ratio of muscle mass and body fat. Then, after analyzing all the data, he will give a balanced weight loss program, taking into account the estimated energy costs and necessary for the normal functioning of your body just calories.
All nutritionists declare almost unanimously the need to abandon such favorite foods like chocolate and other sweets, including jam, sugar, honey, peanuts, roasted and smoked products, canned food,…
Forget that mayonnaise and ketchup are existed in the world, deduct of sweet yoghurt, sweet full-fat milk, not to mention their products in the form of sweet cottage cheese mass, puddings, etc.
Should be left alone and products made from wheat flour, turning to the consumption of whole grains, well, if they would be with the addition of bran, which perfectly cleanse the body of toxins and facilitate the smooth running of the intestine.
Have to forget about the usual packs of juice (they include a lot of sugar), and the more of alcohol used (it stimulates appetite) and tobacco (the discovery of Columbus not only poisons the body, but also slows down the metabolism, that is, it contributes to the early aging).
Conversely, eat fruits and vegetables (especially citrus – grapefruit, lemon, orange and apple), (but do not get carried away with grapes and bananas), foods rich in fiber and fiber (cabbage, carrots, squash, beets, etc.).
Variations of milk, switch to the ones where the fat content of 1.5 – 2%. Leave a diet of small amounts of nuts (no more than 2 tablespoons a day), especially walnuts, which stimulate the brain.
Try to eat many seafood.
Do not forget about the amount of fat, in spite of their contribution to the treasury of your calories, but also give a preference of olive and peanut oils (the good in supermarkets you can find everything your heart desires).
Of deli meats are allowed poultry cooked or steamed form. Eat more oatmeal, they are excellent and, most importantly, long relieve hunger, just cook them in the water. In preparation follow the principle of "better not dosolit", you can opt out of salt, replacing it with soy sauce. You can vary the food seasonings: pepper, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon or other of your choice, just do not overdo it, because hot and spicy food increases your appetite.
Nutritionists recommend eating follow these rules:
- Eat slowly, in any case, not in front of the TV (so you do not control the amount eaten).
- Share portion into three parts and take only 2/3 of them.
- Do not refuse breakfast.
- Eat small portions, but still quite frequently about 6 times daily.
- Allow yourself the dinner no later than 6:00 PM.
Adhering to these simple tips, even without diet can lose those extra pounds in a healthy way. But if you are aiming for a diet very seriously, I can offer you several options.
With easy portability of a single product, you can try a "hit"-diet that received its name because of the popularity. It brings good results quickly and already tested many people.
Thus, you can get rid of belly quickly with kefir diet: simply to eat kefir for five days. At breakfast – 1.5 cups, with a small slice of rye bread with bran, as dinner – 2-3 cups of non-sweet yogurt for dinner – 1.5 cups of yogurt and 2 rye crackers. During breaks drink plenty of water. For variety, you can dilute the yogurt with the juice in half, thus making the cocktail. However, to sustain this way five days is very difficult.
So pay your attention to another diet based on buckwheat. After all, it's just a unique product enriched with many vitamins B and P, as well as potassium, magnesium, magnesium, etc.
The power supply circuit is very simple: all day, you can eat only buckwheat, but rather it is brewed, not boiled. So, take a cup of cereal and brew it 2 cups of boiling water, put a wrap yourself in warmth for 10 hours, then you are ready to eat. But remember, no salt and spices, you can flavor with a little soy sauce or lemon juice.
Allowed to drink only water without gas, you can dilute it with apple juice and low-fat yogurt.
The "apple" diet helps "blow away" the belly and flanks very well. In accordance with it you can eat apples during the day with no restriction. Occasionally allowed to indulge yourselves crackers, but not more than 4-5 pieces per day. As a drink – plain water.
Although some recipes are running and the help to lose weight, but not for long, because soon you will return to a normal diet and lifestyle.
Then the lost pounds come back "hundredfold" …
To avoid this, do not rely only on the "magic" diet, subtract the Internet, consult to specialists and make sport actively!

Chapter 8
Chapter 8
Soon afterwards, it is announced that a small field near the orchard, originally set aside for retired animals who could work no more, was to be ploughed up and sown with barley. Muriel is troubled by this development, and she consults the fifth commandment. Again, she realises she has remembered it incorrectly, for it says, "No animal shall drink alcohol to excess."

Xavier expels player over student conduct violation
Muskies have lost starting 5 from last year's team
Xavier has expelled forward Dez Wells for what it calls a "serious violation" of the school's code of student conduct.
Wells started 32 games as a freshman last season and was the fourth-leading scorer.
His expulsion means that the Musketeers have lost all five starters from the team that reached the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament. Three graduated and senior guard Mark Lyons left by mutual agreement.
Wells averaged 9.8 points and 4.9 rebounds as a freshman, making the Atlantic 10's all-rookie team. He was suspended for four games for his role in an on-court brawl with Cincinnati during the season.
Xavier says the school's conduct board, consisting of faculty, students and administrators, decided Wells had violated the conduct code and deserved expulsion.

Lowercase Capital
Chris Sacca may have taken a step back from active startup investments at his firm Lowercase Capital, but that doesn't mean the billionaire known for his cowboy shirts isn't staying busy. In the past year Sacca became a regular on popular small business pitch show "Shark Tank," doubling his episode count to go toe to toe with fellow sharks like Mark Cuban and Daymond John to invest on camera. He also took a more fictional turn on the small screen, playing himself in a new series based on the popular online radio show "Startup Podcast." Known predominantly for his early bets on Twitter and Uber, Sacca enjoyed a recent exit when Twilio went pubic in June 2016. An active opponent of the Trump administration, Sacca has also recently invested in more than a dozen funds run by women and people of color.

In this learning packet you will learn several common prefixes along with examples and definitions of words.

They carry meaning and so can change the meaning of an existing word such as adding the prefix a- (meaning not or without) to the word social to create asocial or not social. Prefixes may also be added to roots which cannot stand by themselves. For example, the word circumvent means to go around or to surround. The prefix circum- means around.

Hi, I've had GA since I was in my early 20's, not I'm almost 40 Anyways, while I was pregnant with my 2 children the lesions disappeared, as soon as I gave birth, they started coming back. There has to be something in the prenatal vitamins that makes the GA disappear !! After I gave birth to my 2nd child, I wanted to lose some weight, so I started taking LIPO 6 BLACK HERBS from GNC. Well, I didn't notice at first, but after a month of taking the Herbs, the lesions were gone. I just thought thank goodness, but never made the connection with the pills from GNC. I stopped taking 'em for a few months and the lesions came back. I started take the Lipo again about a month ago and they disappeared once again.

Some gunmen have killed a man at a beer parlour in Kyado, Ukum Local Government Area of Benue State.
The attackers also injured several others and burnt houses.
The victim, identified as Mr Msughaondo Lamana, was reportedly beaten to death by the gunmen, who were armed with clubs, knives and guns.
A resident, Terhile Shikaan, and several others were said to have sustained machete cuts on their heads. They are receiving treatment in hospitals.
The attack occurred at 8pm on Monday when some customers gathered at Sunny Beer Parlour in Kyado to relax.
The 20 gunmen reportedly stormed the place and started beating up people and destroying property.
It was learnt that the police in Ukum Divisional Unit were drafted in the area to prevent reprisal attack and maintain order.
Mr. Tyowua Torsen, the owner of the drinking spot, told The Nation that the incident occurred between 8.30pm and 9pm when he was on his way to Makurdi, the state capital, for an urgent engagement.
He said the gunmen killed his younger brother, Msughaondo.
Torsen said: "I was on my way from Kyado to Makurdi for an engagement when I was called on phone that the chairman of Ukum Local Government, Teryima Nguher, allegedly sent some thugs to my beer parlour. The thugs inquired from the manager about my whereabouts. Having told them that I was not around, they beat up Dooior Anza. They also killed Msughaondo Lamana and injured scores of others."
But Nguher denied the allegation.
Police spokesman, said Daniel Ezeala, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), confirmed the incident.
He said investigation has begun into the matter.

Cool Things to do with Washi Tape
The first DIY that we have for you is one that many people use all over the internet.
Washi Tape Photo Cards
Difficulty: 3/5
Things you will need:
- A nice photo
- A plain card or white cardboard
- A rectangular label or small piece of cardboard
- Any colour washi tape
- Glue Stick
- Blue tack
- A nice quote put onto a label then cut to shape
- Finally a pen to write inside the card
- The first step is glue the photo on to the white card
- The second step is to get your quote, cut a small triangle at the end of the label, and use the blue tack to stick it down onto the picture. (note: you can stick the quote wherever you want as long as it looks good at the end.)
- The third step is to stick the washi tape diagonally on each corner to add effect
- Finally take the pen and inside the card write a nice note and sign off from yourself and your finished
Spooky Pencil Holder
Difficulty: 2/5
The second washi tape diy we have for you is a spooky pencil holder.
What you will need:
- [washi tape
- A pencil holder
- Lastly a pair of scissors
This one is a very easy, all you need to do is get a pencil holder, in a pattern wrap the spooky tape evenly around and wala your done.
That was 2 cool DIYs that you can do at home with washi tape but there are more cool things that I am going to share with you in this article.
Pimping Out Your Computer With Washi Tape
One of the coolest things, in my opinion, is pimping my computer with washi tape, so this is very easy and all you need is some transparent washi tape, scissors and lastly a keyboard to put the washi tape on.
Cut out the washi tape to the size of your keyboard and from there all you do is stick the washi tape wherever you want on your keyboard.
Note: If you have a laptop you can also pimp that out by measuring the outer frame of your laptop screen then just stick washi tape around it to make it look amazing.
For this next cool diy thing I found all you need is headphones or a charger and of course some washi tape of your choice.
Earphones Untangler
OK so this is also kind of a life hack because it makes it almost impossible to tangle your earphones.
Start off cutting around 1 inch of washi tape for each of your colours and wrap it around the earbuds or charger, if you want the washi tape to make your earbuds untangle then wrap washi tape around the whole thing.
History of Washi Tape
Now that we have covered washi tape DIYs why don't we cover one last thing and that is what washi tape was originally made for.
Washi tape was named after a type of transparent paper from Japan named washi. It can be made using bamboo, hemp, rice and lastly wheat.
It is used for many types of art including origami and sometimes fancy napkins.
Washi is also normally a bit tougher than normal paper because it is made up of all-natural fibers that have been threaded or compressed together.
The inventor of washi tape was taking traditional Japanese art to the next level by turning it into a colorful tape.
Washi tape was invented in 2006 and right from day one it went crazy on the internet.
What are you going to make with Washi Tape?

Example One: "The Seed" by The Roots and Cody Chesnutt. Some of the lyrics: "I push my seed in her bush for life, it's gonna work because I'm pushing it right, if Mary dropped my baby girl tonight, I would name her Rock and Roll." But, it's my favorite song. And also my ringtone! Appropriate all around.
Example Two: "Little Voice" by Hilary Duff. There's no reason a 23-year old girl who grew up post-Lizzie McGuire years (yet still watched it despite this fact) should have a song from Hilary Duff on her iPod. It might even be slightly acceptable if it's like… her singles. Maybe "Come Clean" or anything else she put out – but no. I have like the hidden track, track 13 that was only available on CD's bought at Target. (Not really.)
Example Three: "Peaches and Cream" by 112. I love this song, so much. I don't know why. It's so fun and gross. But imagine you are a client, and the first thing you hear is, "Won't stop girl you know I can't get enough, Wanna taste it in the morning when I'm waking up, Peach cobbler in my stomach when I eat it up, Got your legs around my neck so I can't get up." In case you're lost in translation – they're talking about a vagina!
Example Four: "I'll Make A Man Out Of You" from the Mulan Soundtrack (sang by Donny Osmond) (or "Friend like Me" from Aladdin, which came on immediately after). It's a Disney movie. I'm 23. Let's move on.
Example Five: Every single Backstreet Boys song ever created. I have albums that weren't released in the U.S. that I got from England or something when I was like 11 or 12.
I have to say, I generally don't keep it on shuffle.
I usually play certain playlists like, "Michael Jackson"
"Museum Mix" (jazz) or a "Work Appropriate" one.
But... sometimes... I deal with the embarassment... and shuffle away.

Subject: [IP] more on "NCLB: The Implausible Dream"
Begin forwarded message:
From: Bob Frankston <email@example.com> Date: June 11, 2005 7:15:21 PM EDT To: email@example.com, 'Ip ip' <email@example.com> Cc: Brett Glass <firstname.lastname@example.com> Subject: RE: [IP] "NCLB: The Implausible Dream"
I agree that there are lots of problems with the current approach and we need a "do over".
But blaming the parents is unfair – sure they are important but those students who most need help either have parents who need help themselves or may have neurological differences that are not amenable to simply trying the old stuff "more". If parents are to be part of the solution then we need an education system that is more inclusive and continuing.
I agree that too much burden is placed on the teachers – why is there so little effort to take advantage of technology to make education more available to those who want to learn on their own. Imagine if text book and lecture content were available on the web so the teachers could assist learning rather than being the gating factor. I'm not talking about technology to make teaching more efficient but to make education more available and effective. (Yes, I know, it's more complex than that)
Perhaps the bigger issue with these attempts to drag every child along is that at a time when the premium is on the ability to be adaptive and creative we are putting increasing emphasis on only what is measurable. Some testing and level setting is helpful but it's too easy to standardize the approach and content rather. There is a strong incentive to teach to the test and only to the test. Base skills are a starting point not the goals in themselves.
It's easy to find extreme examples of success and failure. It's harder measure lost opportunity. Where will the disruptive innovation come from if everyone is tested on a scientific method premised on the assumption that science is about discovering the one truth rather than science as a means of questioning what we all "know" to be true.
The same simplistic approach can be found in nondiscretionary sentencing and the failure to recognize neurological issues in behavior. These align with the more general premise of a clockwork universe into each everything has its place – a quaint 19th century notion.

NCLB's implausible dream Jennifer Wilmetti
While the intent of the No Child Left Behind Act was praiseworthy, the means put in place to achieve the goals are flawed in several ways.
1. This is an under-funded mandate. We are told to perform miracles for every student with a lack of necessary resources. I am supposed to make sure that all of my students read up to grade level, but yet I can't buy any books to help me do it!
2. We have been told "all means all." In other words, when the act said that 100 percent of students would have to be proficient by the year 2013, they meant all. This includes students who have disabilities that make this completely impossible. By simply enacting a piece of legislation, it won't get rid of the fact that we have students with mental retardation, cerebral palsy, fetal alcohol syndrome, Down's syndrome, etc., who are never going to be able to achieve this. Period.
3. Many people have started to call this act "No Child Left
Untested," as that seems to be the focus of our teaching these days. How are we supposed to get these students up to proficiency when we never have a chance to teach them because we spend so much time testing them? We can test them until the cows come home but that doesn't change the fact that as it stands we haven't increased the amount of time that students spend in school. We have to find the time to test them somewhere, and that time is coming from our instructional time. Thus, we are teaching them even less than we were before this act.
4. Finally, this act holds all school staff members accountable for student achievement (or lack of student achievement). But we are missing two key pieces of the puzzle: students and parents. Teachers can do everything imaginable to increase learning but if neither of these groups buys into the package, nothing will improve. In Wyoming, none of the mandated tests are used to hold students accountable. Students learn this very quickly and fail to take these tests seriously. A couple of years ago, I was speaking with a class that included the valedictorian at our high school about the WyCAS test. When asked, the students, including the valedictorian, said that they hadn't taken the test seriously! If this young man, who was obviously bright and driven, didn't take it seriously, how many students did? And yet, this is one of the measures of whether we as teachers are doing our job or not!
As for the parents, if parents don't care about education, students usually don't care either. Parents who don't read to their children, don't attend school functions, don't participate in parent/teacher conferences, fail to provide safe home environments, etc., are not doing their job as parents. The schools can try to educate them on the need for these things, but sometimes there is just no reaching them. Sometimes they are worried about making enough money to keep food on the table. Others are caught up in a web of drug abuse.
The reasons are as numerous as the students who aren't making proficiency.
Because no lawmaker wants to try to enact a piece of legislation that would hold parents accountable for their child's achievement in school, the law was passed that made the educators solely accountable. This isn't fair and it isn't realistic. Education needs to be seen as a table with four legs: teachers, school administrators, parents and students. If any one of these legs doesn't hold up its weight, the table will fall over and there won't be a flat surface for the education to build on.
While I can agree that we do need to do something to reform U.S. education, "No Child Left Behind" is not the tool to do it. Let's repeal this act and start fresh with realistic expectations. Let's include everyone in the conversation, not just lawmakers. And we need to realize that we aren't going to be able to reform society through the schools. Reforming society as a whole is a different conversation.
Jennifer Wilmetti of Rock Springs is a teacher.

text: The Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) scheme is coming under increasing scrutiny, with The House of Commons recently releasing a briefing paper stating; "The Law Commission recommends that DoLS are repealed as a matter of urgency, and are replaced by a new scheme called the Liberty Protection Safeguards. This intends to streamline the process for assessing whether a deprivation of liberty is necessary, and obtaining the required authorisation. The Liberty Protection Safeguards would also authorise particular arrangements and conditions for a person's care or treatment, rather than simply authorising a deprivation of liberty… Under the new scheme, when there is a potential deprivation of liberty, the responsible body – the NHS body or local authority – arranges three assessments: a capacity assessment, a medical assessment, and a 'necessary and proportionate' assessment. They must also consult with friends and family of the relevant person. Each case is verified by an "independent reviewer", and those where the placement are contrary to the person's wishes are referred to an Approved Mental Capacity Profession (AMCP)." House of Commons Briefing Paper, 2nd October 2017This master class will explore the DoLS as they currently stand and examine the practical implications from restrictions to deprivations and capacity assessments through to seeking authorisations. It will look at the implications of the case of Cheshire West, the House of Lords Select Committee Report Act and the Law Commission's proposals for changes to the current DOLs regime to make the application process more streamlined and to include a focus of ECHR Article 5 and 8 rights.The masterclass will also provide an update covering the implications of the proposed Liberty Protection Safeguards.Delegates will have the opportunity to raise issues and concerns specific to their own practice.

The ESA/NASA SOHO satellite watched as Comet ISON made its closest approach to the Sun on 28 November, at a distance of around 1.2 million kilometres from the Sun's visible surface. Did it survive? Early reports suggested that only the comet's tail continued to follow along ISON's orbit. Further observations will reveal if a chunk of the comet's nucleus survived.

- Steve Bearman's accusers say he used their past trauma to manipulate them.
By all accounts, Steve Bearman was a charming and charismatic leader who had built an influential counseling school. With its promises of "healing, growth, and liberation," Bearman's Interchange Counseling Institute was a new-agey, sex-positive program that was well regarded among many Bay Area counseling professionals as well as the broader personal growth community. The Oakland resident often told his students that he could help them overcome their past trauma. And he regularly gave workshops, including at Burning Man, where dozens gathered shoulder-to-shoulder to hear him speak.
But in interviews with the Express and in court filings, several former students at Interchange also described Bearman as a master manipulator who learned key details about them through counseling sessions that he later used to control them. They alleged that he exploited their past trauma, manipulating their psychological damage so he could sexually assault them. One of the women called him the "fulfiller of nightmares," because she said he knew she had been raped before and that after counseling her on her trauma, he used that knowledge to sexually assault her. Five of the women allege that he assaulted them after he talked them into taking psychedelic drugs, at times in doses far beyond typical recreational use.
On Dec. 8, six women sued Bearman for sexual assault, sexual battery, sexual harassment, and false imprisonment. They were joined in the 63-page complaint, filed in Alameda County Superior Court, by 12 other former students and employees of Interchange Counseling. They also accuse Bearman and his former business partner Margo Brockman of labor violations and fraud, along with several other illegal practices. The Oakland Police Department has also opened a criminal investigation into Bearman.
Bearman was forced to close Interchange in September after he was confronted at a meeting by members of his leadership team — a group of about two dozen mostly unpaid volunteers who helped run the school — just before the 2017-18 session was about to begin, according to three attendees. Many at the meeting demanded he relinquish control of the Treasure Island-based school and inform incoming students about the sexual assault allegations against him. Cornered, Bearman wept throughout the meeting, but by the end still concocted a plan to keep the school open.
The plan quickly unraveled. On Sept. 27, Bearman posted a message on Facebook that was similar to statements made recently by numerous powerful men, like Harvey Weinstein, Charlie Rose, and Louis CK, who have been accused of sexual harassment and assault. "Though everyone is unaware of their impact in some ways, this is an area in which I now realize I have been unbelievably ignorant, even despite many people's efforts to get me to learn," Bearman wrote. "I am only now starting to see the scope of what harm my actions have caused, so whatever I have to say will almost certainly still be inadequate and somewhat uninformed."
Unlike most of his Facebook posts, this one was only available to his Facebook friends. His Facebook profile has since been removed, but multiple sources provided the Express with copies of the statement, including screenshots.
The women suing Bearman are represented by attorneys Ayhan Menekshe and Catherine Adams of the Menekshe Law Firm in Campbell. "In our many years of handling sexual assault and harassment cases for both plaintiffs and defendants, we have never before seen a case that reflects such insidious behavior," the attorneys wrote in a statement to the Express. "He might have deluded himself and others into describing these as consensual relationships, but they were the result of the abuse of the power dynamic, as well as abuse of prior sexual trauma history of these victims, and therefore could not be consensual. We believe that unless there are consequences for his behavior, he will continue it."
At a time when icons in Hollywood, politics, and journalism are suddenly facing consequences for years of abusive behavior, Bearman's story is a stark reminder that sexual predators can be anywhere. His supposed commitment to feminism and mental health makes his actions even more insidious, and his betrayal more devastating, the women said. At least two of his alleged victims said he lured them with promises of healing and left them more traumatized than ever.
Bearman's academic background in the psychology of sex and relationships also made his contention that he didn't realize the harm he was inflicting difficult for his victims to accept. His accusers found his Facebook apology severely lacking and were unsettled by the congratulatory and forgiving tone in hundreds of comments responding to Bearman's mea culpa.
In parts of his Facebook post, Bearman seemed to acknowledge that he had not obtained consent in his sexual relationships. "In too many circumstances, however, I now realize that I have convinced someone to let go of a boundary, or allowed someone, in the heat of the moment, to disregard what had previously been an important boundary for them," he wrote. He pledged "to be available to any of the women who feel hurt by me, with mediation, to apologize, to hear what you would like me to know and more fully understand my impact, and learn what, if anything, I can do to make things right."
But after attempting to contact Bearman for comment for this report, the Express received a written statement from San Francisco criminal defense attorney Christina DiEdoardo. "Mr. Bearman unequivocally denies the accusation that he has engaged in any instance of unlawful nonconsensual sexual activity during his time at Interchange or at any other point in his life," DiEdoardo wrote. She added that because of the lawsuit and the criminal investigation into her client, "he has no further comment to make at this time." Brockman did not respond to requests for comment by deadline.

Pros & Cons of Top-Loading and Side-Loading Washers
The average American family washes around 400 loads of laundry per year, according to the California Energy Commission. Make the most of your time in the laundry room by choosing the right type of washing machine to meet your needs. While more than 75 percent of households rely on traditional top-loading machines for their easy loading and low price tag, front-loading machines offer their own advantages in terms of energy efficiency and performance.
Top-Loader Pros
Top-loading machines sell for between $300 and $500 on average, compared to $600 to $1,200 for front-loading machines, according to a 2011 report by Fox News. While front-loading machines can't be opened mid-cycle to add more clothes, top-loading units allow for additions and adjustments anytime throughout the wash cycle, though you should always wait for the drum to stop spinning before reaching inside. Unlike front-loading units, which often require users to bend down to add or remove clothes, top-loading units provide ergonomic benefits, allowing users to simply drop clothes in from the top with no bending required.
Top-Loader Cons
The California Energy Commission reports that top-loading washing machines use an additional 7,000 gallons of water each year compared to front-loading machines. Not only does this consume extra water resources, but it also increases utility bills thanks to the cost associated with heating all this extra water.
Front-Loader Pros
Front-loading washers use an average of just 25 gallons of water per load, compared to 40 gallons per load in traditional top-loading machines, reports the California Energy Commission. The commission also reveals that front-loading machines consume just 50 percent of the energy consumed by top-loading machines, so these machines can help you reduce utility bills and reduce your impact on the environment. Some front-loading units allow for stacking, which saves floor space. These units also spin faster than top-loading models, allowing for faster dry times.
Front-Loader Cons
While front-loading machines are often associated with high noise levels, the machines themselves make relatively little noise. Instead, Consumer Reports reveals that front-loading units tend to vibrate, which can lead to unwanted noise, especially if the machine sits in the main living area of the home. Moisture trapped in the seals around the door on a front-loading machine can lead to problems with mold, and the washers perform better with special low-foaming, high-efficiency detergents. These machines are also more complex than top-loaders, which means higher maintenance costs.

In one of his books, author Charles Kraft tells the following story:
A southern Nigerian invited my wife and me and three missionary candidates to share a meal with him. Before the meal he prayed, "Lord, help these men to realise that it is not they who are taking you to Africa, but you who are taking them."
When we asked what he had in mind when he prayed that way, he explained, "When missionaries first came to my country, they spoke of the God who created the world as if he were a different God from the one we already knew about. We listened and compared what we heard and read in the Bible about this God and discovered that he is the very same God we had always known about. We received many new insights from the missionaries and especially we heard that we could come to know God personally through Jesus Christ.
"But everyone except the missionaries realised that your God is the same as our God. In other words, our God had brought the missionaries to add to our understanding and commitment. The missionaries had not brought a new God with them. And this is what I would like these young missionaries to realise before they go so that they don't waste so much effort trying to change our ways but devote themselves to building something worthwhile on the foundations that are already there." [1]
In the midst of our secularised, consumer, individualistic society it is easy for us to slip into a negative attitude towards it. The result is that we tend to focus on what is incompatible and incongruous with the gospel and emphasise the discontinuities. In doing so we overlook what is compatible and congruent; and miss the opportunities to share the good news.
Just like these missionaries to Nigeria, our prejudgements about our culture leave us with blind spots and like a fish in a fishbowl we are totally unaware of the water in which we swim. But rather than take a negative stance we can choose to appreciate both the good and bad elements to our culture. We can look for those places where God is already at work. Such places will most likely be different to what we traditionally have grown to expect, but we must not let our expectations blind us to what God is already doing.
The German theologian Helmut Thielicke once commented,"The Gospel must be constantly forwarded to a new address because its recipient is repeatedly changing his place of residence."[2] In other words, just because one method of communication worked in the past, we can't presume it will work again today. We need to constantly rework our communications strategies and skills to meet the changing world in which we live.
In other words, we are the missionaries of Hobart. In the past we believed that to be a missionary one had to go overseas. But not anymore – the mission field has come to us. It is in our families, our schools, our businesses, our clubs and our community groups.
It has been suggested that Australians have no peculiar culture of our own. We are a mixture of American and English, but nothing could be further from the truth. Developing an Aussie gospel requires us to do the hard work of understanding Aussies and their culture.
This was one of the key themes that grew out of our engageHOBART workshop. It became increasingly clear (particularly for the older participants) that despite the assumption Australian culture is much the same today as it was when they grew up, the reality is quite different. Living within the world of our church communities we can be unaware of the changes taking place in our wider community and the differences that continue to grow between our worldview and that of our neighbours.
So we have a job to do. Not only are we called to share the good news, we are to explore ways to ensure our communication of the good news is relevant to our context. This requires us to do our homework to understand the unique context that is Australian community. We take the story of Jesus, which took place in one historical context 2000 years ago, and translate it so it communicates with our own historical context. Scholars have a technical term for this; they call it 'contextualisation.' It is the process of taking the truth of the gospel and presenting it in a relevant way to the hearer.
When Jenny and I reflected on the workshops we were very encouraged. There was a quality and depth to our discussion and reflection that the workshop group is taking the job seriously and are prepared to make the effort needed. It is also a challenge and encouragement to us at Hobart Baptist Church. Are we willing explore what it may mean to make the gospel message more meaningful in our culture? Are we willing to relearn what the gospel message is, rethink the way we do 'church,' and revisit some of our many precious forms?
May God both equip us and find us willing to explore how we can bring the "good news" to the Australian community in our day.

The loss of one of only eight vitally important RAF Chinooks in Afghanistan is a serious setback for British forces at a time when roadside bombs have forced an increasing reliance on helicopters.
It is the first time the Taliban have taken out a British helicopter and will be signalled as a significant victory for the insurgents.
The four crew members escaped with their lives after a well planned ambush which forced the destruction of one of Britain's most important military assets in Helmand Province.
Defence sources warned that Taliban commanders could now be preparing to take another "major scalp" by targeting a helicopter packed with troops.
The attack shows that insurgents are now capable of taking out heavily armoured aircraft from the ground with rocket-propelled grenades and machine-gun fire.
"This changes the whole game plan," said a defence source. "It means that they cannot guarantee the security of helicopter re-supplying forward bases with troops and equipment.
"Without doubt the Taliban will keep on trying until they get another one."
Amid heightened fears over the level of protection offered by new helicopters, opposition politicians warned that the attack was a "disaster waiting to happen".
The helicopter was targeted by ground fire as it left a patrol base north of the near the volatile town of Sangin, where 20 British troops have been killed this year, late on Wednesday evening.
As it lifted out of the small base after dropping off supplies and men, it came under sustained ground fire from Taliban who had seen it land minutes earlier.
At least one of the £40 million aircraft's two engines was set on fire but the pilots were able to fly the crippled helicopter almost a mile away from the ambush site where they put it down in an emergency landing.
The crew of two pilots and two door gunners scrambled out and were picked up by the accompanying Chinook. All helicopters in Afghanistan operate in pairs for just such an emergency.
Despite the value of the helicopter no attempt was made to secure the crash site to carry out an analysis of the incident or to recover reusable parts. Instead a Nato fighter was called in to drop a bomb on the Chinook in order to prevent it being used by the Taliban for propaganda purposes.
"It is a measure of the bravery and skill of the pilots that, operating under enemy fire, they were able to complete their task and calmly move to safety," said Lt Col Nick Richardson, the British military spokesman.
"Their cool under pressure has ensured that their lives were saved. Despite the loss of one aircraft, the brave crew have thwarted insurgents' attempts to destabilise the elections with a shocking spectacular loss of British life."
The helicopter's destruction will come as a significant blow to the British force in Helmand which is already struggling with a force reduced now to seven Chinooks.
The Daily Telegraph reported in April that the Taliban were planning a "show stopper" after intelligence was received that they were deliberately targeting a British Chinook that can carry up to 40 fully-laden troops.
It is possible that the Taliban might have managed to use heavy anti-aircraft artillery such as a Soviet era ZPU-1 mounted on a truck.
The bullets from the 14.5mm cannon would have hit the aircraft like a "brick wall" according to defence experts. Three ZPUs were destroyed by Nato aircraft in early spring.
The incident also comes a month after the insurgents destroyed a giant Mi26 Halo helicopter after it had ferried supplies into Sangin killing six Ukrainian aircrew.
It is possible that a substantial relief convoy of 116 vehicles that arrived in the town this week was forced on commanders as the area has become too dangerous for helicopters.
This newspaper has already reported that six Merlin helicopters heading to Afghanistan later this year are not suitably armoured for combat operations and will be more vulnerable to ground fire.
To date the British have lost one Hercules, a Nimrod reconnaissance aircraft, two Reaper drones and the Chinook during the Afghanistan conflict.
The distinctive twin rotor Chinook helicopters are vital to the British effort in Afghanistan, constantly in demand to transport troops and equipment as well as extracting wounded soldiers from the battlefield.
Despite being in short supply, their importance has grown with the increasing threat from roadside bombs targeting convoys and patrols on the ground.
British units have been forced to rely on foreign helicopters during the recent Panther's Claw operation in the run-up to the election.
Last month David Cameron, the Conservative leader, described the Government's failure to supply more helicopters as a "scandal".
Nick Harvey, the Liberal Democrat defence spokesman, warned that the attack had been a "disaster waiting to happen" and said it underlined the need for all new aircraft to have the maximum protection against attack.
"It is a blessing that the crew escaped but it very easily might not have been so," he said.
"This must serve as a generalised warning.
A batch of eight Chinooks, currently being refitted to bolster British operations in Afghanistan, is not expected to be ready until December.

What is ISO 9001?
ISO 9001 is the requirement standard of the ISO 9000 family of standards. It outlines the guidelines that an organization must follow in order to implement and maintain a Quality Management System.
The latest version of the standard was introduced on September 15th, 2015, it is referred to as ISO 9001:2015, and organizations have until September 28th, 2018 to implement the new standard.
Key Content of ISO 9001:2015
ISO 9001:2015 is constructed around 7 quality management principles:
- customer focus;
- leadership;
- engagement of people;
- process approach;
- improvement;
- evidence-based decision making;
- relationship management.
The following are the main changes from the ISO 9001:2008 standard:
- A same High Level Structure (HLS) as ISO 14001, ISO 22000, ISO 45001, etc. This means that it is simpler to integrate numerous management systems
- There is greater emphasis on the measurement of inputs into processes and their outputs. Examples of inputs would be labor, raw materials, data, specifications, etc. The output must be checked that it is of good quality
- The emphasis is on "Risk Based Thinking" which effectively replaces "Preventive Actions" as it is no longer mentioned
- The Context of the Organization is used and includes all Interested Parties whose expectations and requirements must be considered in an organization's products and services
- The Management Representative is no longer required and Quality is now the responsibility of the entire organization
- The Interested Party is now extended beyond customers to include suppliers, employees, shareholders, the community, etc.
- The terms "document" and "records" have been replaced with the term "documented information" which is defined as the "information that the organization has to control and maintain". The information can therefore be in any format from paper to electronic. There is also no longer a need for a quality manual
Changes from ISO 9001:2000 to ISO 9001:2008
ISO 9001:2008 was a minor upgrade and provided clarifications to the requirements of ISO 9001:2000, together with some changes to make it more consistent with ISO 14001:2004. There were no new requirements.
Changes from ISO 9001:1994 to ISO 9001:2000
This was a major upgrade to the standard. Prior to that it was made up of three standards:
- ISO 9001:1994 – Manufacturing with Design & Development
- ISO 9002:1994 – Production and Installation (No Design)
- ISO 9003:1994 – Final inspection and test
These were all merged into a single standard, ISO 9001:2000.
For ISO 9001:2000 the 20-clause structure was abandoned and replaced with the 5 sections which are described above.
It is process orientated and follows the operating principle of the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) methodology. The new standard became more customer-oriented and expects organizations to communicate with customers and to measure and monitor customer satisfaction.
It also emphasized the need to make improvements and specifies that an organization must evaluate the effectiveness and suitability of its quality management system, and to identify and implement systemic improvements. The evidence that training has taken place was no longer sufficient and instead the effectiveness of the training has to be evaluated.
Finally, documentation requirements became less prescriptive and permitted greater flexibility.

Louisiana has one of the highest cancer mortality rates in the nation, with annual statistics having a numeric equivalent of about 160 people dying from cancer in the state every week (American Cancer Society). Many studies involving the Louisiana tumor registry find that Louisiana does not have a higher incident of most cancers, instead, we have higher death rates. Reasons for this staggering loss of human life include: late or incurable stage diagnosis of the disease and patients being forced to travel long distances for treatment at a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer center. Many patients currently have to travel at least 350 miles to the nearest NCI-designated cancer center – either M.D. Anderson Medical Center in Houston, Texas or the University of Alabama Medical Center in Birmingham.
A functioning NCI-designated cancer center in Louisiana would play a large role in the significant reduction of deaths from cancer as well the loss-of-productivity economic impact. Our new 10-story, $102 million state-of-the-art research facility located in New Orleans is part of the LCRC plan to compete for NCI designation. The LCRC building represents a testament to the commitment of the State of Louisiana toward eradicating cancer among its citizens. The State also recognizes this structure and the work conducted under the LCRC umbrella as the beginning of what will be a progressive biomedical corridor emanating from New Orleans and throughout the greater region.
LCRC is a leader for cancer prevention and control in Louisiana. Cancer experts agree that the highest impact in eliminating cancer comes from the prevention of cancer or the early detection and treatment of the disease. This is achieved through regular examination by trained personnel and through the testing of samples of blood, urine or other biologic specimens. Members of the LCRC have led the way for developing regional and statewide cancer screening programs in Louisiana.
The statewide screening programs for breast, cervical and colon cancer, led by LCRC researcher Donna Williams, M.S., M.P.H., from the School of Public Health at LSU, screen patients at clinics throughout the state. LCRC programs provide screening and education on the prevention and early diagnosis of melanoma (the most aggressive form of skin cancer) and free PSA (prostate specific antigen) screening for prostate cancer to more than 170 men in New Orleans.
Our investigators have helped re-establish screening facilities in the Medical Center of Louisiana at New Orleans (MCLNO). Through a federal grant obtained by LCRC researchers at LSU, we were able to purchase over $1 million in upgraded digital mammography, ultrasound, and biopsy equipment, as well as gastro and colonoscopes for the new screening clinics at the MCLNO, where our physicians are again evaluating patients.
Although screening efforts are important in reducing the mortality of cancer, it is far superior to prevent the onset of cancer. The Tobacco-Free Living Program is a major LCRC endeavor. Through it, legislators, medical personnel and the public at-large have been educated on the ill effects of tobacco use and secondhand smoke. This has resulted in the passage of strong legislation that will in the long-run decrease the effects of smoking in our population. In addition, LCRC supported investigators and staff continue to aid in efforts to develop new and better anti-smoking campaigns as well as implement free antismoking workshops for smokers.

By Andres Martinez Court TV
(Court TV) -- A popular Kansas State University English professor has gone on trial for the brutal stabbing of his estranged wife.
Thomas Murray and Carmin Ross-Murray had been married 18 years before their divorce in June 2003. But prosecutors say a custody battle over the couple's then-4-year-old daughter prompted Murray to carefully plot and then carry out the murder of his ex-wife on November 14, 2003.
Ross-Murray, 40, was found dead in her bedroom atop a dresser with multiple stab wounds. But it wasn't until nearly a year later, on October 4, 2004, that police arrested Murray.
Lt. Kathy Tate, of the Douglas County Sheriff's office, would not comment on the investigation or Murray's arrest, citing an ongoing investigation. However, police officers testified during pretrial hearings that Murray was too talkative and did not show the expected amount of grief after he was informed of his former wife's death, according to the Topeka Capital-Journal.
Prosecutors and detectives have not released information about the murder weapon, but in opening statements last Thursday, prosecutors said Ross-Murray had been stabbed 17 times in the neck, and a coroner testified that she likely died from blunt trauma to the head, according to the Journal.
Ross-Murray, a lawyer and mediator, was planning to remarry. Two days after she told Murray her intentions to claim full custody of their daughter, Ciara, and marry the man she had been dating, she was found dead, according to local reports.
Murray was a respected and popular professor of English at the university. He had published books on linguistics, including one called "The Language of Sadomasochism."
Prosecutors have said Murray told colleagues he was researching how to commit murders for a script he was writing for an episode of the CBS criminal drama "CSI," according to reports.
The defense has pointed to the largely circumstantial nature of the case and asked that any evidence regarding Murray's computer use, research techniques or daily schedule be excluded from the trial. Defense attorneys have also asked that his books not be admitted as evidence, according to court documents.
Among other items the defense wanted excluded is a police photo showing bloodstains, revealed through Luminol testing, in Murray's car. Murray has admitted that the stains were his wife's blood, but said she had a nosebleed while borrowing his car.
Lawyers would not comment on the case before openings Thursday.
Murray faces up to life in prison if convicted of first-degree murder. The trial is expected to last about a month.

|Wat Khao Din or the Monastery of the Mount of Earth was located off the
city island in the eastern area of Ayutthaya in Phai Ling Sub-district.
The monastery was situated on the east bank of Khlong Kudi Dao, just opposite Wat
Samana Kottharam. Wat Kuek stood on its south.
Its historical background and period of construction are unknown.
The denomination and location of this temple is questionable. On a 1993 Fine Arts
Department (FAD) map we read Wat Khao Din (วัดเขาดิน), but on an earlier map
drafted in 1974 we find Wat Khun Din (วัดขุนดิน) in the same location.
There are no visible traces remaining of this monastery at ground level. The site was
located in Geo Coord: 14° 21' 39.11" N, 100° 35' 31.56" E.

Pie Factory To Host Grand Opening Tomorrow
The Pie Factory, known for its homemade savoury meat and vegetable pies and desserts, is inviting the community to celebrate its official grand opening at #6 Parliament Street on Wednesday, March 29.
Owner Sonia Furbert said, "We have worked for over 20 years to run The Pie Factory and it is an honor to be able to offer our loyal patrons the same food and service they have grown to love over the years in our new central location."
Originally established in 1995 on Berkeley Road in Pembroke by Sheila and Maurice Furbert, the business will celebrate its first year at its new location and is inviting patrons to reacquaint themselves with old favorites, while getting to know the newer additions to the menu.
Ms. Furbert said, "We are thrilled to welcome both original and new patrons to the Pie Factory family and to be able to expand the menu we offer."
Menu additions include curry chicken, fish and mussel, brown stew beef, lamb and chicken pies. The Pie Factory also features a new Caribbean Food Court, headed by chef Jerome Thomas, serving island favorites such as rice and peas, callaloo, plantain, oxtails and jerk chicken.
The Pie Factory will also introduce "Build Your Own Burger", featuring homemade hamburgers.
"When reopening the storefront, we recognized a need to make the Pie Factory accessible to everyone. Our new app offers the ability to place orders, view menus and earn loyalty points," Ms.Furbert explained. The free Pie Factory app is available in both the Google Play Store or iTunes App Store.
"I must give special thanks to my parents, who will honor me and this milestone by cutting the ribbon tomorrow."
Ms. Furbert encourages the community to join them as they continue 22 years of family business as well as celebrate new beginnings.
The day long festivities begin at 11.00am with the official ribbon cutting, followed by raffle draws, giveaways and prizes to celebrate.

Big up all de Northlands Crew
Congratulations Sonja, and to your family and staff! Great food, great people, and a great addition to our dining choices in Hamilton!

For any of you bloggers who are planning to read the classics with me this year (I couldn't love you more, and I'm so excited for our book club!), I would highly recommend popping over to The Classics Club and having a look around.
I had scheduled this post to be about my blogging goals for the year, but obviously that didn't happen. And I believe "sticking to my editorial calendar" was going to be one of those goals! Oops… Anyway, one of my goals for 2015 as a newbie blogger is to get more involved in the blogging community, and the folks at The Classics Club seem like my kind of people. Part of joining this little piece of blogger heaven, however, is creating a list of at least 50 books that you will read in the next 5 years. I had thought about including more (there are many, many others that I plan to read in my lifetime), but then I thought new wife, new job, cat to feed, let's not go crazy, Tyler!
So here we are! My list of 50 books that I plan to read before the end of the 2019. (2019?! Just thinking about that makes me anxious.) I don't know where I'll be in 2019 or what I'll be doing, but I will hopefully have finished all of these books! We're tackling 12 of them this year in my Book Club Classics series, and then I have another 12 planned for the next year. Can you guess the category? (Hint: I've read them all before, and maybe you have, too?)
The rest? Well, we'll get to those!
