A complete set of your "Principal Sale and Purchase Agreement"

The attempted murder of Sergei and Yulia Skripal with a nerve agent bares all the hallmarks of a Cold War spy novel and the complexity of the smaller and more tightly connected modern-day world. Political balance is needed when addressing and reprimanding those responsible. If Russia is found to be to blame, what happens next? Is it likely that remarkably little will be done or will this be the beginning of a new coalition to stand up to Putin's Russia?Continue Reading

Content warning: articles mentions fascism, neo-Nazis, anti-Roma and anti-Gypsy sentiments, concentration camps and violence. Article contains strong language, derogatory language and includes descriptions of assault. Video includes scenes of violence.
The EU is led by gangsters, racists, and neo-Nazis.
I don't mean that in a Ukippy way. I mean that until the 30th June 2018, the presidency of the Council of the European Union will be held by Bulgaria, and will prominently feature a colourful circus of hate mongers, criminals and outright fascists.
The government in Sofia is currently propped up by a coalition of truly nasty bastards called the 'United Patriots', who are united mostly by their shared sense of aggressive racism. It is comprised of three parties: the National Front for the Salvation of Bulgaria (NFSB), the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organisation (IMRO), and 'Ataka' (simply, attack).Continue Reading

Content warning: mentions sexual violence, abuse, sexual harassment, rape, domestic abuse and violence
Last week saw the hashtag #MeToo achieve viral success, following the accusations multiple women made again Hollywood director Harvey Weinstein. The hashtag started when actress Alyssa Milano, tweeted "If all the women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote 'Me too' as a status, we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem".
The next week, social media was bombarded with personal account of sexual harassment, abuse, rape, assault and domestic violence. Famous celebrities talked about their experiences and within 24 hours, Facebook reported that 4.7 million people engaged with the #MeToo hashtag with over 12 million posts and comments. Most of the media's reaction has been positive – finally we are acknowledging that sexual violence is a pervasive problem rather than a few isolated incidents, they say.Continue Reading

CW: article contains descriptions of the Manchester terrorist attack, racist discourse, links to images of war crimes.
The official threat level after the terror attack in Manchester is back down from Critical to Serious, and the country has started to move on. The news cycle seems to have been slightly shorter, as well; at time of writing the front page of the BBC News website is largely concerned with technical problems at British Airways and I-kid-you-not a cheese rolling competition.
I'd love to say that this particular terrorist incident didn't incite the usual wave of hate and disgustingly inappropriate coverage that tends to follow such events, including random hate crimes, thundering headlines and political manoeuvring. I'd love to.
But The Daily Mail exists. And The Sun. And the political climate in the UK has become sufficiently toxic that even without those two, the response was nonetheless as unpleasant as any I've seen.Continue Reading
The series of coordinated sexual assaults and robberies across Cologne on New Year's Eve, prompted an outcry from the media when it came to light that a majority of the perpetrators were refugees from the Middle East and North Africa. A steady stream of articles surfaced examining and criticising Angela Merkel's mantra of "refugees welcome", all of them reeking with an infuriatingly smug "I told you so". The tabloids dealt with the news with as little finesse as you'd expect—publishing quotes from questionable sources about how some refugee was overheard to be describing western women as sex objects (as if this was somehow representative of the opinions of all refugees). Others have taken a more sympathetic approach, pointing out that these refugees probably didn't understand our esteemed cultural practice of not robbing and sexually assaulting people.
Amidst all of this was a cartoon published by Charlie Hebdo depicting Alan Kurdi, the drowned toddler whose body was photographed washed up on a beach in Turkey. This haunting image has come to represent the plight of refugees. In this particular cartoon he was portrayed to be all grown up and groping a woman in Germany. Rightfully, this elicited a furious media backlash.

LOS ANGELES — The Rams rushed for a franchise playoff record 273 yards against the Cowboys in Saturday's NFC divisional game at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with Todd Gurley and C.J. Anderson combining for 238 of the total.
But one of the most important carries came on an 11-yard scramble by quarterback Jared Goff on third-and-7 with two minutes remaining.
Starting at the Rams 28-yard-line, Goff dropped back, saw an opening to his right and took off running, banging his way past the first-down marker. It forced Dallas to start calling timeouts. Runs of 5 and 6 yards by Anderson gave the Rams another first down that clinched the 30-22 Los Angeles victory.
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Goff "showed his athleticism" on the crucial play. It wasn't clear if he was joking.
"It was a great decision by him," McVay said. "It was a big time deal to be able to convert with his legs and stay in bounds and keep the clock moving and have C.J. close it out."
Goff ran for 12 total yards, his highest rushing total in eight games.
"I wanted to stay in bounds and keep the clock moving, even if I didn't get the first down," Goff said of his run. "But [the Cowboys] got depth and I saw a lane and spun inside and got the first got down."
It was a big win for not only the Rams but also Goff, the first pick of the 2016 draft. The Rams reached the wild-card round last season, only to lose at home to the Falcons. Now Goff, who slumped a bit in December, has his first playoff win and the Rams in the NFC Championship for the first time since 2001.
"It feels good," said Goff, who completed 15 of 28 passes for 186 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions. "It really feels good to do it with the people we have. To be able to do this with these people and these coaches and be able to pull off a playoff win at home is exciting."
The Rams defense did its part, holding Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott to just 47 yards on 20 carries. Quarterback Dak Prescott had to do much of the work, completing 20 of 32 for 266 yards and one touchdown. But the Rams controlled the game with their balanced attacked leading in time of possession 36:13 to 23:47.
The Rams will meet the winner of Sunday's NFC divisional game featuring the Saints and Eagles. If the Eagles win, the game will be in Los Angeles. If the Saints win, the game will be in New Orleans. The winner advances to Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta.
"This was a big game and next week will be a big game as well," Goff said. "We're in the final four one win away from the Super Bowl. We're going to enjoy the moment and then prepare our butts off."

"GoodAI is building towards my lifelong dream to create general artificial intelligence. I've been focused on this goal since I was 15 years old."
Marek Rosa, CEO, CTO, & Founder
Solving a general problem will offer better outcomes
"There lies the inventor's paradox, that it is often significantly easier to find a general solution than a more specific one, since the general solution may naturally have a simpler algorithm and cleaner design, and typically can take less time to solve in comparison with a particular problem."
Bruce Tate
We're committed to the idea that solving a general problem will, in the end, offer better outcomes than trying to solve a set of specific problems – even if the narrower problems seem easier to tackle at first.
We aim for general AI, not narrow AI use cases. This approach allows us to restrict the search for the right solution and focus more resources on our desired long term goal.

Trivikram Srinivas will next pair up with Jr NTR and the filmmaker has been carefully picking the crew for the film. Cinematographer PS Vinod was roped in to crank the camera who has worked on numerous Telugu films. The music was initially supposed to be composed by Anirudh Ravichander however things changed post the release of Agnyaathavaasi and latest reports confirm that he will no longer be part of that project. Sources confirm that Thaman SS has been roped in to compose the music for this film and it will be the first time for the young music composer to work with Trivikram. "Working for NTR-Trivikram film is a dream come true for me. Trivikram garu has prepared a kick-ass script, it's really extraordinary and I can't wait to live up to the challenge," Thaman was quoted as saying by a report in TOI.
Thaman started 2018 with a hit, Bhaagamathie, and next came Tholiprema which was well appreciated for the background score. And with this Trivikram-NTR film under his belt, this sure is the year of Thaman. Speaking about his association, Thaman further said, "This is the first time I'm working with Trivikram sir whereas I had the privilege of composing for NTR's films Brindavanam, Baadshah and Rabhasa. NTR and Trivikram have always been supportive and encouraging. So, there's a huge comfort zone with them. I'm really excited about working with such a combination."
The film is yet to be titled and will go on floors from the last week of March. The makers are on the lookout for the lead actress for the film and many names are doing rounds including the likes of Pooja Hegde and Shraddha Kapoor. Reports are doing rounds that the makers will soon make an announcement regarding this before hitting the shooting floors.

(Paris-NewsHalal-Muharram 18, 1436, October 31, 2015) Processed meats can cause cancer, according to a report released by the World Health Organization (WHO).
After seven days of deliberation in Lyon, France, a working group of 22 experts from 10 countries convened by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs Programme — part of the WHO — concluded that the consumption of processed meat such as bacon, sausages and ham causes cancer.
"Processed meat was classified as carcinogenic to humans based on sufficient evidence in humans that the consumption of processed meat causes colorectal cancer," said the IARC report.
For experts, 50 grams of processed meat eaten daily — the equivalent of two slices of bacon or a hot dog — increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 18 percent.
"For an individual, the risk of developing colorectal cancer because of their consumption of processed meat remains small, but this risk increases with the amount of meat consumed," said Kurt Straif, head of the IARC Monographs Programme in a statement.
However, the WHO said there was limited evidence that red meat increases the risk of cancer.
Christopher Wild, Director of IARC said "these findings further support current public health recommendations to limit intake of meat".
"The results are important in enabling governments and international regulatory agencies to conduct risk assessments, in order to balance the risks and benefits of eating red meat and processed meat and to provide the best possible dietary recommendations," he stressed.
The IARC cited an estimate from the Global Burden of Disease Project that 34,000 cancer deaths per year worldwide are attributable to diets high in processed meat.
An estimated 8.2 million people die each year from cancer, which constitutes 13 percent of all deaths worldwide, said the WHO. A 70 percent increase in new cases of cancer is expected over the next two decades, according to the organization.
Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced in Beijing on Friday 30 October that it will assess a report that classified processed and red meat as carcinogenic.
Francesco Branca, director of the Department of Nutrition for Health and Development at WHO, made the remarks via a press briefing held by WHO representatives in China on Friday in Beijing.
Earlier on Monday, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) under WHO released a statement linking the consumption of processed meat and red meat to cancer.
Though processed meat has been ranked with tobacco as the top causes of cancer, eating processed meat is far less risky than smoking, said Branca.
Branca stressed that the cancer report was suggesting that people eat less processed and red meat rather than asking them to totally give up.
According to Branca, the WHO will be able to work out safety standards for processed and red meat consumption after further risk evaluation.

Smith Named Director of Columbia-class Sub Program
Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) announced Brandi Smith has been named program director of the Newport News Columbia-class submarine program.

Every individual of adult years and sound mind has a right to choose what shall be done with his own body and to control the course of his medical treatment. Patient autonomy and self-determination are a firmly ensconced principle in New York State Law.
But what happens with patients who have lost decision making capacity? A Health Care Proxy is a powerful tool. Patients may choose a health care agent who will make all health care decisions for them in the future. These decisions include both life-sustaining treatment and on-going medications.

If you spend some time in New York and some time in Florida, you may wish to consult your accountant about determining your domicile (as, depending on the answer, you will owe very different taxes). You may also think about consulting with two different local attorneys regarding your estate planning, as both New York and Florida have real differences in Will execution formalities, asset and homestead protection, Health Care and Power of Attorney languages, Medicaid eligibility rules and estate taxes. Consider this non-exclusive list of differences:

When you buy goods on the internet and the seller is located in another state, should you pay tax? As a consumer, you'd like to say no. But the Supreme Court tackled this question in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc.
The Court had to decide if the dormant Commerce Clause prohibits states from requiring sellers with no physical presence in the state to collect and remit sales tax for goods sold within the state. In the past, in the 1992 Quill Corp. v. North Dakota, the Court ruled that states could not impose tax on businesses with no physical presence in the state.

Can the government force private organization to express messages they disagree with?
The issue of compelled speech and viewpoint discrimination was reviewed by the Supreme Court in National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) v. Becerra. The Court ruled that the government cannot force private organizations to express messages that they disagree with.
National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) is a religious, pro-life organization that provides pregnancy related services in the State of California. Per California Reproductive Freedom statue, certain clinics that provide family planning services to pregnant women must notify them of free or low-cost abortion services.

In Carpenter v. United States, the Court had to grapple with modern technology and expectations of privacy in a world of shared data. Some called this decision "the most consequential privacy decision of the digital age".

Trump v. Hawaii was one of the most divisive decisions of the Supreme Court during the 2017 term. President Trump's Proclamation No. 9645 called for temporary travel restrictions to the United States for aliens from eight countries (Chad, Iran, Lybia, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen). The media called it the "Muslim ban". But was it? And did it fall within presidential authority under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and did it violate the Establishment Clause?

One of the most interesting cases decided this year by the US Supreme Court was Gill v. Whitford. The case concerned redistricting and gerrymandering. It was a unanimous decision by the court (9 to 0). In the opinion of most analysts, the Supreme Court wasted a historic opportunity to correct a wrong that cannot otherwise be solved by a political process.

Preparing Your Home and Your Life for Children as a Disabled Parent
Preparing your home for parenthood is something every new parent needs to do, but for parents with disabilities, this sometimes takes a bit more planning. For example, just holding your child might be a special challenge for you depending on your disability, so it's important to make sure your plans accommodate special circumstances. Perhaps you need to hire someone to modify baby furniture or buy special items that make carrying your baby easier.
Childproofing is not a new concept, and it is mostly the same process for you.Read more . . .

Perception trumps reality: high prices become the justification for higher prices.
Here's a reminder:
Apropos the current strength in the market, the common refrain amongst traders and analysts goes something like this: I don't believe in this market's strength, but I want to participate while it lasts.
Got that? Traders are so desperate that they are now buying, not on fundamentals, but rather on fear of missing out before this market heads back into the toilet.
Our concern is this: with each passing session it appears more traders are encouraged to "participate," hence, the market keeps moving higher. That happens enough times and soon you have $100 oil and Matt Simmons all over the tube alleging the Saudis are doctoring their books and that Petrobras and ExxonMobil didn't just find all of that oil in Brazil. Then, just like we saw last spring, when the price path of the market decouples from the fundamentals, perception trumps reality and high prices become the justification for higher prices. All because the smart money [sic] doesn't want to "miss out." - – 3/26/2009
Since we wrote the above last spring spot crude oil on the Nymex rose from a low of 57.30 in April to a high of 84.45 at the beginning of this year. Thanks in large part to wishful non-thinking and egregious extrapolations of economic headlines by people who should have known better.
Ergo, amongst all the fashionable tag lines in the first half of last year, none was more blindly adopted than the concept of the second derivative to explain the unexplainable, i.e., the rise in U.S. equity and commodity indices. As if social interactions between individuals and firms can be neatly encapsulated by a mathematical function.
In this context, the second derivative was employed by Wall Street touts to give their less-bad-is-good-mantra some intellectual oomph.
The economy was still sinking, but the velocity of demand destruction was slowing. Sell-side pundits wanted us to believe that alleged less bad economic headlines, while still bad, were good in terms of higher order derivatives, hence why the market cheered at the time when it was reported only 1.29 million Americans lost their job in the second quarter.
Then, when it was reported that only 597,000 Americans lost their job in the third quarter and just 208,000 in the fourth quarter… well, break out the champagne.
In this vein, the bulls were making a farfetched assumption that perceived less-bad headlines implied the economy was nearing an extreme value or inflection point and that was good, i.e. the rate of change of the curve along the x axis was decreasing, hence the second derivative talking point.
However, in the real world, with so many conflicting variables in play, plotting out the future path of the economy is somewhat more complicated than looking at a point on a line along the x axis of a Cartesian graph. Analysts at do not dispute the concept that the Great Recession ended last summer. It is just that, every time we take a second look, the economic downturn was actually more bad rather than less so, in spite of all that tut-tutting to the contrary.
For instance, last summer the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released its Comprehensive Revision: 1929 through the first quarter 2009. In it we learned that:
- In the revised estimates, real GDP increased 0.4 per cent for 2008; in the previously published estimates, real GDP had increased 1.1 per cent.
- From the fourth quarter of 2007 — the start of this recession, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research — to the first quarter of 2009, real GDP decreased 2.8 percent at an average annual rate; in the previously published estimates, it had decreased 1.8 percent.
- Real GDP fell 1.9 percent during the four quarter of 2008; more than twice the original estimate of 0.8 percent.
Meantime, on Friday, in addition to the monthly jobs report, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released its annual revision (March 2008 to April 2009) of national estimates of employment. It wasn't pretty, i.e., it was more bad.
In short, the U.S. government erased another 902,000 jobs (an adjustment of -0.7%) from its estimates for the twelve months ended March 2009, for a total loss of 5.769 million jobs or –4.2 per cent.
The BLS notes this was the largest 12-month net decline in employment in the history of the series, which dates back to 1939. In percentage terms, the -4.2 per cent change is the largest negative 12-month change since April 1958.
In tomorrow's issue of , we will have more on Friday's job's report for January, which was actually less bad, i.e., only 2.542 million jobs were shed from the economy since March… assuming, of course, the BLS does not revise that down by a few hundred thousand come next February's revision.

Breck Bednar never had a fifteenth birthday. Instead, on that date, his family gathered at his grave.
He had been lured to his death by Lewis Daynes, an older boy he met on the Internet. Daynes, who had spent years grooming a group of boys via an online gaming server, gradually convinced Breck to listen to only him – and ignore the advice of his mother, who had grown so suspicious of Daynes' relationship with her son that she had gone to the police.
Lorin LaFave, Breck's mother, did everything "right" to prevent the tragedy which took her son's life – she talked to the other parents, set clear boundaries for her son online, and even took away his access to the Internet for a week, forbidding him to talk to Daynes. Unfortunately, the other parents were uncommunicative, the group of boys Daynes held sway over took their conversations "underground", Daynes gifted Breck with a secret cell-phone to contact him – and worst of all, the police ignored LaFave's concerns about the man she was sure was grooming her son. She would only find out after Breck's death that, although Daynes had a record of a previous conviction for the rape of another teenage boy, the police dispatcher she shared her concerns with had decided the case was not "serious" enough to pass on to investigators.
If the awareness of how grooming works was better-known – and part of the standard training of police – Breck Bednar might be alive today. As it is, Daynes was able to hijack the boy's loyalty; his victim delivered himself into his snare, and the deadly predator was able to commit the heinous violent crime which ended Breck's life.
Lorin LaFave has turned this ghastly tragedy into a positive result: she has founded the Breck Foundation, which works to educate youth and their parents about online grooming and Internet safety, by teaching them to "Live Virtual, Play Real". We at Open Minds salute LaFave and her courage!
What do you think about this article? Do you agree? Do you have a story about grooming that you'd like to share? We'd love to hear from you!
