Civil Rights
Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
Ninety years ago today, John T. Scopes, a substitute teacher in Datyon, Tennessee, was arrested for teaching the theory of evolution, in violation of a recently passed state law. His case, the Scopes "Monkey" Trial, was the first "trial of the century." It pitted two great lawyers against each other -- William Jennings Bryan, a frequent presidential candidate and senator known for his religious conviction, verses Clarence Darrow, an openly agnostic and widely celebrated defense attorney.
The high profile of the lawyers and the controversial nature of the law turned the trail into a media circus. Which is exactly what was wanted. The trial was organized as a test case by the recently formed ACLU. Scopes lost, but through the suit, the ACLU was able to capture the attention of the public and shape a debate which continues to this day.
For how well known the Scopes Trial is, you would think it had been a success. But it wasn't, at least not legally. Not only was Scopes convicted, but the ACLU's original argument was largely abandoned.
The ACLU had set out to challenge the reasonableness and constitutionality of the law itself. Scopes was largely a placeholder. That legal tactic was undermined at several points. Unsurprisingly, the judge reminded the jurors that their job was not to evaluate the merit of the law, but simply to determine whether it had been violated.
The ACLU's initially planned tactic was also largely abandoned by Darrow. As the trial progressed, Darrow focused not on the constitutionality of the law, but on undermining the view that the religion and science were incompatible. In one of the most famous moments of the trial, Darrow called Bryan, counsel for the prosecution, to the stand to question him on his literal interpretation of the Bible. It was a stunt that brilliantly highlighted the clashing world views at play in the trial -- but it did little to actually support the defense's case. The judge had already ruled that evidence regarding the Bible was irrelevant.
It wasn't until appeal that the ACLU reasserted its argument that the law unconstitutionally benefited a specific religious group.
The ACLU and Darrow had originally planned on calling a slew of expert witnesses to show that the law was irrational and unconstitutional. The judge allowed them one. Many of the arguments the defense had planned on presenting through experts were presented directly by the lawyers themselves. Dudley Malone, one of the defense lawyers, argued what they had planned to present as evidence -- that religion should not intrude into the secular realms of education and science.
His speech worked, at least in framing the larger issues playing out in the trial. The argument presented by Malone and the ACLU influenced debates around evolution and the role of religion in society for generations.
It is a discussion we are still having today.

EMS Adopts the principle that it will consume the fat when muscles are vibrated, and adpots the periodic changes of current, using the power therapy repeatedly to achieve the effect of weight loss, massaging and relaxing. When muscles are excited by low frequency current, this causes muscle vibration within certain amplitude. The movement of muscles which is not controlled by will is called passive movement. When this movement happens in the body, burning of energy in the body is more active. Under such circumstances, the amount of consumed oxygen and release of carbon dioxide and water can increase by dozens of times.

Make Your Home Cozy and Welcoming For Guests
I believe that it is possible for a home to be welcoming and comfortable, as well as beautiful and functional. Nobody loves a home that seems too sterile, a place they are afraid to sit down and make themselves cozy. Every guest should feel comfortable when they step inside.

SANTA MONICA (KABC) -- Amid complaints over scooters cluttering sidewalks when they're not in use, Santa Monica has created new designated parking spaces for shared mobility devices.
The shared mobility drop zones will provide a place for riders of scooters and e-bikes to leave the vehicles when not in use. Residents have complained about riders discarding the scooters on public sidewalks when not in use.
The zones are part of a pilot program Santa Monica says will assist with responsible parking.
Meanwhile, controversy continues over Santa Monica's possible pilot program to award Lyft and Uber the rights to operate rental scooters.
Operators Bird and Lime, which currently lease out scooters in several locations, have been protesting the decision.

G37 Convertible Spare Tire Kit
If you have a 2009+ Infiniti G37 Convertible and you happen to live somewhere other than Maryland, then you probably have a Tire Repair Kit in your trunk instead of a spare tire. Why is it this way? No idea. Someone within Nissan made the decision based on space, weight, or cost. As the trunk has such little space in the convertible as it is, I would assume it was to give more usable space to consumers. Regardless, if having a spare tire is high on your list of importance then there is an option.
Infiniti, through their dealerships, now offers a spare tire accessory kit for G37 Convertible owners. The kit comes with the rim, car jack, tool kit, and mounting hardware. Missing is the tire which is ordered seperately:
The images below show the kit, hardware and installation. The only part that must really be installed is the black tire mounting bracket. Otherwise, there is no real effort.
NOTE: Special thanks goes to NICOclub member sled for the above images.

A hero that is wild but also rich? Talk about subliminal suggestions! Storytelling is king, and it is taking over gaming territories that were once too simple to carry a plot. Today, you can meet the Indiana Jones of slot games in places like Wixstars Casino, which is presenting "Book of Dead" as the game of the month. And Rich Wilde, nomen omen, is the lead character in this unusual adventure.
The iconography of the protagonist is clearly reminiscent of the Lost Arch's hero. Rich (yes, you got it right, it's Rich, not Rick) is portrayed on the game's cover not so much as an Indiana Jones look-alike but a dark-haired hunk with a naughty twink in his eye. Wild(e) he is, undoubtedly. And sexy in many ways since his screen appearance brings the highest rewards to the players. Rich is surrounded by themed symbols, such as Pharaoh's Masks, a series of playing cards (from 10 to Ace), the Book of Dead itself, and several portraits of Anubis and Osiris. These two last are the most common high-value symbols you will encounter while playing.
But wait a minute…. what is so special about "one more Book of the Dead game"? There have been quite a few already, starting from the historic Book of Ra. Well, the thing is that the new trend is to make these simple, repetitive games as immersive as possible. So you get much more than a simple pull of the lever and spinning of the wheels. In the package now, seamless gameplay is included, with captivating graphics and animations. The soundtrack is provided by Egyptian style music that creates an atmosphere of suspense without becoming annoying or obsessive.
Then, if you can get your hands on a 250,000 – coin jackpot… And there is more. This game has a great return to player percentage (RTP) of 96.21%. Adding the possibility of rich rewards to the thrill of wandering about an ancient Egyptian temple meeting ancient gods makes for a great user's experience.
The Swedish giant Play'n GO launched "Book of Dead" a few seasons ago. The game is far from obsolete: it is actually going through a season of relaunch and revival. In the meanwhile, Play'n GO developed a whole series of new games featuring its hero. In Shield of Athena, they even gave him… a daughter! Cat Wilde accompanies her father to Atlantis, searching for the legendary Shield of Athena, adorned with the head of the gorgon Medusa. In this game, Rich Wilde is the game's Wilde, and Cat acts as the Scatter. Greek mythology inspired the creator of the game and provided the basis for all the symbols: the Helm of Athena, the Ring of Wisdom, the Pendant of Courage, the Golden Owl (a symbol of Athena herself), and the namesake Shield of Athena.
The intention is clearly that of shaping Rich Wilde's saga as a sort of franchise. The newest adventure he is engaged in bears the title Tome of Madness. This time, the hero is after the secrets of the sinister Cult of Cthulhu, inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's dark and maddening literary universe.

Book excerpt: NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY BOOKPAGE AND LIBRARY JOURNAL The Crimson Petal and the White meets Fight Club: A page-turning novel set in the world of female pugilists and their patrons in late eighteenth-century England. Moving from a filthy brothel to a fine manor house, from the world of street fighters to the world of champions, The Fair Fight is a vivid, propulsive historical novel announcing the arrival of a dynamic new talent. Born in a brothel, Ruth doesn't expect much for herself beyond abuse. While her sister's beauty affords a certain degree of comfort, Ruth's harsh looks set her on a path of drudgery. That is until she meets pugilist patron George Dryer and discovers her true calling—fighting bare knuckles in the prize rings of Bristol. Manor-born Charlotte has a different cross to bear. Scarred by smallpox, stifled by her social and romantic options, and trapped in twisted power games with her wastrel brother, she is desperate for an escape. After a disastrous, life-changing fight sidelines Ruth, the two women meet, and it alters the perspectives of both of them. When Charlotte presents Ruth with an extraordinary proposition, Ruth pushes dainty Charlotte to enter the ring herself and learn the power of her own strength. A gripping, page-turning story about people struggling to transcend the circumstances into which they were born and fighting for their own places in society, The Fair Fight is a raucous, intoxicating tale of courage, reinvention, and fighting one's way to the top.

When it comes to a model for polished, proper, and utterly professional dressing, you can't find a better example than Kate Middleton. Her position as a royal and obligatory outings require sophisticated, elegant looks, but it's also a style vibe that seems pretty ingrained in her style DNA. And while the Duchess reps many designers you've heard of (think her customized Tory Burch, the Stuart Weitzman wedges the queen can't stand, and that Alexander McQueen dress), she's also shown off a few British labels that have been a little more undercover until now.
Kate in a Goat dress last year
Goat has been once such case, with designer Jane Lewis offering up chic understated styles that the Duchess seems to love. Up until now it had been relatively tricky to find the brand in the U.S. but that's recently changed, with the announcement that the label would begin selling at Saks Fifth Avenue. When we got the chance to talk with Lewis about how easy it is to translate Kate's style into savvy everywoman office outfits, we knew we owed it to everyone who gets a pay stub.
"There's been an underlying belief that fashion had no place within the corporate environment and that it could diminish our credibility in some way," she explained. "Fashion doesn't have to be frivolous. Style is innate in each of us, and it's what sets us apart from the generic. A working environment is as good a place as any to show off your personality."
Rule 1: Think about your workplace.
What works at your friend's office might not fly at yours, and understanding that is key. "Assess your environment and your requirements. Be honest with yourself and audit trends as appropriate," Lewis said. Once you've figured out the essentials that make a stellar outfit for your field of work, invest in some key basics. "They'll become the foundation of an edited yet versatile working wardrobe."

How to Develop Banking Blockchain App?
// Mobile apps
A bank may not have an office, but it must have an online banking service that can be accessed using a mobile app. At the same time, such a service should be not only convenient and understandable, but also as secure as possible, as well as comply with the standards for protecting the privacy of its users. At the moment, blockchain technologies cope with the tasks of security and data protection best of all. Therefore, in this article, we will show you how to develop a blockchain-based banking application.
Here is a list of areas where blockchain is most often used in banking:
Here's what specialists your tech partner should have:
Next, together with the developer company, you need to make a draft and/or prototype of your banking application, where you will see the order of user actions, the main design elements and service functions. You do not need to work hard on the look of the interface in the draft. It is enough to get an idea of the user's path to make it as short as possible.
Once you've optimized the user's path and understood what design elements you need to implement, you can start building the wireframe for your application. This is a schematic representation of the design of an application, consisting of blocks and lines that symbolize design elements and the user's path from screen to screen. They help better understand how everything will work, whether the user will be able to carry out what he needs, and how simple and convenient it is.
If you are satisfied with everything and no holes and complications were found, the wireframe can be turned into a highly detailed prototype that gives a more accurate idea of how the application will look after completion of your blockchain-based banking application.
Here is a short list of what you should consider when creating your layout:
These are the most commonly used blockchain networks in the banking sector:
When choosing a technology stack to develop a blockchain banking application, you should focus on five main areas: back-end, front-end, blockchain, and cross-platform. In addition, you should also not forget about the things related to the reliability and security of the software.

Here is the estimated cost of developing a blockchain banking application:
After the completion of development and comprehensive testing, you need to put the application in the AppStore, Google Play Market and Microsoft Store marketplaces. These sites have strict reliability and security requirements, so make sure your service is working as expected and free of vulnerabilities for hackers and Ddos attacks, as well as several anti-phishing tools.
Launching the application is just the beginning. After it, you should continue to collect feedback from users and your support service in order to remove all problematic points based on this data and add the functions that your target audience needs. In addition, if you are betting on users of Apple devices, then you also need to submit an application to the Apple editorial office so that they conduct an expert analysis and give their recommendations.
All banking applications must comply with the laws and regulations of the country(s) in which they operate. Typically, these laws include requirements for the safety and privacy of users, as well as the fight against money laundering, corruption and the financing of terrorism.
Here are the most famous rules for financial security:

Publishing, Power, and Praxis

Academic publishing, a core part of any research activity, has become, in recent years, a highly politicised act. Boycotts have arisen against the major publishers – and particularly Elsevier – over claimed monopolistic practices. At the same time, the rise of open-access (OA) publishing has presented a series of social and economic challenges that are still unresolved. While it appears to yield great promise of universal access, for many researchers, the increasing number of mandates for open-access from centre-right governments appears to betray the argument that this form of dissemination could be of greater ethical import. Coupled with high article processing charges, OA appears emptied, in many ways, of any of its political force. In this talk, Martin Paul Eve will talk about the ongoing debates around open-access publishing; the core challenges for the humanities disciplines in achieving better levels of access; and the implications of open, digital forms for the future of the scholarly monograph.

John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars (2001)
Ghosts of Mars is similar to Prince of Darkness in that it serves up an encore of Carpenter's favourite storytelling tropes; the Rio Bravo remixing, the siege, the horde of supernatural baddies, the stoic antihero and plenty more. But where … Continue reading

People in Wales least aware poor diet can cause cancer
People in Wales are the least aware in Britain that having a poor diet increases the risk of cancer, according to a survey by the WorldCancer Research Fund (WCRF).
The charity said after not smoking, eating a healthy diet and being physically active are the most important ways to reduce the risk of getting cancer.
Dr Lee Parry, from the European Cancer Stem Cell Research Institute, said eating less processed foods and more fruit and vegetables, especially dark fruits and berries, can help prevent many types of cancer and even kill some cancer cells.
There are a number of different reasons people can develop cancer and some are impossible to prevent.
Patrick Wymer, from Penarth in the Vale of Glamorgan, has always tried to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Despite this, in 2017, he started getting stomach pains and losing weight. Overtime the pain got worse and he was forced to have an emergency operation. He was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer and given a stoma.
Since then, Patrick has become even more conscious about the food he eats. He wants to make more people aware of the impact diet can have.

Oxytocin is a naturally occurring neuro-hormone, commonly referred to as the love hormone for its correlation with increasing pro-social behavior. Oxytocin works both within the brain as a neurotransmitter, and through the blood stream as a hormone. Oxytocin is known to promote social behaviors such as trust, empathy, and compassion. Preliminary studies also show that oxytocin levels can inhibit the stress response, and decrease levels of cortisol and ACTH.
Oxytocin administration holds great potential for treatment of social-anxiety disorders ranging from schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), to social phobias. Nevertheless, the science community is quite fragmented regarding oxytocin's efficacy as a drug.
A small study produced great optimism for the future of oxytocin. The study shows intranasal administration of oxytocin selectively increases brain activity during social perception of children with high-functioning ASD. The researchers suggest oxytocin can be used to improve social functioning of children with ASD.
Nevertheless, the exact relationship between oxytocin levels and anxiety disorders is not fully understood. A new study from Stanford suggests oxytocin levels are unrelated to ASD altogether. Furthermore, long-term effects of oxytocin doses are undocumented. Research suggests that long-term exposure to oxytocin results in de-sensitization to the drug, therefore resulting in negative effects on social behavior.
Still, I remain hopeful in the love hormone: the potential of oxytocin to develop into a drug for anxiety disorder lies with increasing the scientific understanding of oxytocin and behavior. The long-documented correlation between oxytocin and social behaviors provide strong evidence for its medical potential. Understanding the pathways oxytocin undergoes during social interaction may illuminate the relationship between oxytocin and social phobias. Oxytocin as a nasal spray does not target all areas of the brain; therefore, drug research can develop methods which target oxytocin's specific pathways. Additionally, Researchers Young and Barrett suggest oxytocin can be used occasionally as a supplement to behavioral therapy.
Oxytocin remains in its early stages of drug development. Though it is too early to make conclusions regarding its efficacy as a drug, continued research regarding oxytocin and social behavior suggest oxytocin is a promising drug target.

Simon Farine: All Roads Lead to Success, [Farine to ink Pro Contract in Israel]
HALIFAX,NS–Sometimes in life, everything comes together so perfectly that it seems like it was destined to happen. Rewind back to 2006. Dalhousie University was embarking on another disastrous season, after which they would have the dubious distinction of losing 108 of their past 140 games. Coach John Campbell knew he needed some sort of spark to turn his team's fortunes around, but didn't know where it would come from.
The scene changes and takes us south of the border to the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Toronto-native Simon Farine, a 6'2 guard considered to be one of Canada's brightest young talents, found his skills being wasted away on UWGB's bench during his rookie season. He knew he needed a change, and began looking at making the transition over to play CIS ball.
As luck would have it, Farine's and Campbell's paths would cross during this tumultuous time, and their encounter would be the turning point in both of their basketball careers. Farine committed to Dalhousie, and with that commitment, triggered a rapid turnaround for a program that once seemed lost.
"I was not happy at Wisconsin-Green Bay with either basketball or the school itself," Farine tells NPH. "I decided to come back to Canada to be closer to family and friends, and because the CIS is a very competitive league. I chose Dalhousie because I knew some people going there, and I had met John Campbell, and liked his attitude and vision."
With Farine at the helm of coach Campbell's team, Dalhousie put together a respectable campaign during the 2007-2008 season, going 16-16. The following season, Dalhousie won the Atlantic University Sport championship, a feat which they repeated again during the 2010-2011 season. During this time, Farine showed off his glittering skills that had once drawn attention from the NCAA. After scoring over 17 points per game in his first season at Dalhousie, Farine averaged over 20 points per game in his next three seasons. For his individual excellence and his contributions to his team, Farine was a perennial AUS all-star, culminating with his selection to the All-CIS team this past season.
Aside from a strong competitive edge and a winning mentality, Farine's greatest asset is his versatility. He is a strong guard who plays hard on both sides of the ball, and always looks to make plays for his teammates. Farine poessesses superb vision and passing ability, an absoulte playmaker. And of course, the kid can flat out score. While his university career didn't start as he had initially hoped, it certainly turned out brilliantly for Farine.
"I think that although my NCAA experience wasn't what I was hoping for, it was definitely a good experience in terms of making me tougher and more motivated," explains Farine. "It worked out extremely well for me, and for the Dalhousie program, which is now at an all time high."
With his CIS university career complete, Farine has now turned his focus to securing a professional contract overseas. "My agent and I are optimistic that a good contract will come my way this summer, so that I can play professionally this coming fall," Farine says.
"I am planning to play pro next season, looking like it will be in Israel."
What a ride it's been for Simon Farine and for Dalhousie University. While it might not have been clear back in 2006 what the future held in store, it's clear now that the success for both player and school reinforces one life lesson: through hard work and perseverance, success will always be waiting for you down the road. Sometimes you just have to take a detour to get there.

It's arduous work to be a professional autobiographer: to look at the world and describe it when your life is far from over, and all aspects of it are subject to change. The words, thoughts, and beliefs of yesterday might not resonate with your current frame of reference, and in the public eye it's hard to position yourself as a completely different person without some amount of concern, confusion, or scrutiny.
These thoughts were shared with me and 19 other people by singer/songwriter Derek Webb back in March 2019 at a house show in southern Missouri. A few years prior, Webb released his ninth record to date, Fingers Crossed. Described as "a tale of two divorces," the album was a vulnerable account of grief and regret associated with the end of a relationship, the pain of losing friends and family, and the highs and lows of spiritual deconstruction (or "spiritual auditing," as Derek preferred to call it. My editor Ryan Getz stated in his 2017 review that the album "could alienate some of Webb's remaining CCM demographic fans once and for all."
While Fingers Crossed was indeed the final nail in the coffin for some fans of his work with Caedmon's Call or his earlier solo albums, I would argue that Derek also gained a new audience with this record—listeners who strongly resonated with its lyricism or appreciated his honesty. Grief, as well as airing and sharing it, may eventually lead to a season of healing and reconstruction, and Targets, which is the "defiantly joyous" follow-up to Fingers Crossed, chronicles just that and then some.
Targets spans nine tracks over the course of approximately 37 minutes, a little over half the length of its predecessor. Similarly, while Fingers Crossed was primarily driven by a well-crafted, organic blend of acoustic guitar and electronic elements, Targets is almost exclusively played on an electric guitar, backed by a stellar band. This sonic shift is best highlighted in the first few seconds of opener and title track "Targets," as a reversed sample of Fingers Crossed closer "Goodbye, for Now" is quickly followed by gritty guitar riffs that initially reminded me of Jack White's "Sixteen Saltines." Webb also wastes no time lyrically, singing "Targets on the back of every god I ever left / Anger, hope, and gratefulness." This is echoed in lines pertaining to "every girl I've ever loved" and "every friend I've ever lost."
One of the central lyrical themes of this track, and the album as a whole, is the notion that you don't have to leave everything behind in seasons of change; you have the agency to take the good parts (your "targets," things you still aim for) with you while you torch the strawmen of your past. Cuts like "State Change" and the somber yet grandiose "Good Grief" also chronicle this new season of life. On the latter Webb expresses gratitude for the low points in his life that eventually led him to higher ones, singing "It wasn't wasted time / Not a wasted dime or a tear / It's such a sweet relief / Such a good, good grief to get here."
Elsewhere, Derek touches upon his frustration with religious doctrines like depravity and original sin, and how they can lead one to be disconnected from one's body, intellect, and presence to the world around them. "All of Me Is Here" might sonically sound similar to the title track, but the vocal harmonies in the chorus, the massive bridge, and lines like "You don't need debt relief unless someone convinces you that you're broke" distinguish it as one of the album's best cuts. Likewise, closer "Come Home (To Your Body)" references this autonomy as Webb sings "You know the number, baby / Pick up the phone," with a joy scarcely present on his previous nine albums.
While other tracks pertain to the refuge and excitement of love, such as the borderline alt-country "The Safest Place" and "Plain Sight," and the energetic "Valentine's Day," the most intimate moment on Targets (and arguably the most reminiscent of his older albums) comes in the form of "Death With Benefits," a piano-driven ballad where Derek reflects on his prior religious convictions. Backed by a swelling string-section and full band, Webb chronicles moments where he finds himself "doubting his doubts," as "uncertainty's blade is a very close shave, and it cuts in every direction." The ability to admit that certainty is never a guarantee is frightening to those who crave it, but Derek walks the listener through these feelings with the respect they deserve. Additional allegories involving broken clocks, imaginary friends, and nostalgia with effects similar to whiskey all further cement this song as the highlight of the back half of the record, which stands out as one of the best tracks in his discography.
In spite of this uncertainty, however, Targets reminds its audience that both healing and reconstruction are processes, ones that you don't have to walk through alone.
Derek has referred to Targets as the closest thing to ministry in his career, and this especially rang true when he debuted some of these songs at the aforementioned house show. Like church, I was surrounded by complete strangers, snacking on finger foods and red wine, singing songs, and learning what it means to grow and change. The key difference, obviously, was the wide swath of philosophical and spiritual backgrounds in the room. Yet in a way it felt more genuine and church-like than any congregation I've set foot in previously. I believe these feelings will be universal among his listeners with Targets. On all accounts it's a stunning body of work and a perfect complement to its predecessor. Some fans of Fingers Crossed (an album Derek says he rarely wants to return to after playing it at his shows front to back for a year) might find Webb's sonic shift difficult to grasp, but its music and lyrics will ring true with anyone who finds themselves in a season of defiantly joyous change.

Frank Lampard was not on loan, as Manchester City had claimed…
Frank Lampard will not suffer a bad reaction from MLS fans when he eventually moves to New York City FC, says Claudio Reyna, reported in the Mirror.

This news comes after it was revealed the Chelsea legend is to extend his spell at the current Premier League champions until the end of the season.
Manchester City had originally claimed that the midfielder had only joined on loan from the new MLS club until January 1st, when he would join up with his new team mates.
The Citizens were forced to come clean upon announcing Lampard would stay at the Etihad until the end of the season, explaining that he had signed on a 'heads of term' agreement leaving them free to keep the player for the rest of the season if they wanted to.
The 36-year-old has performed well for City this season having been mainly restricted to substitute appearances but still managing to bag seven goals, including one against his former club, Chelsea.

Back in late 2019, Elon Musk unveiled the Tesla Cybertruck to great fanfare. Assuming everything goes according to plan (which is never a guarantee with new Tesla products), he Blade Runner-styled all-electric pickup truck should arrive in early 2022 for most customers. One of the first tasks for many buyers will be to outfit it for overlanding. And because the Cybertruck doesn't follow the conventional shape of a pickup truck — flat roof, flat bed, flat sidewalls — that could be a challenge.
Tesla, for what it's worth, has offered their take on what a Cybertruck camper setup would look like. But those looking for something a bit more substantial could opt for an aftermarket option, the Cyberlandr, which was recently spotted by New Atlas.
The Cyberlandr fits flush with the Cybertruck's truck bed when in transit, but when parked, the unit telescopes upward and outward. The bed's compact space becomes a flexible seating, dining, cooking, and sleeping area connected to a porch and narrow "spa-like" wet bath. It will also have a 500-watt solar panel and a dedicated 20-kWh battery. Because the Cybertruck will offer bidirectional capability, it will take power from the truck or charge it.
Cyberlandr says the unit will sleep up to two adults and two children. However, it feels like that accommodation could get cozy, especially if occupants decide to bring clothing and personal items along with them. It currently offers no accommodations for outdoor gear.
The unit will add 1,200 pounds of dry weight to what should already be a heavy Cybertruck. That said, because the Cyberlandr adds zero aerodynamic drag, the company says it will only reduce the truck's range by about five percent.
Pricing for the Cyberlandr will depend on what you're willing to put down. The standard price will be $49,995 — about the same as the all-wheel-drive Cybertruck itself. But with their current promotion, you can put down $100 to get 10 percent off, or up to $5,000 to get 20 percent off.

Dniester bridge that ties Gura Bâcului and Bâcioc villages, will be reopened todays after a 25 years break.
The ceremony will be attended by Prime Minister Pavel Filip and Tiraspol's leader Vadim Krasnoselski. A document on this matter was signed two weeks ago by political representatives from Chisinau and Transnistria, Gheorghe Bălan and Vitali Ignatiev.
Until now works were done to repair the bridge, it having been blown up during the Transnistria War in 1992. Despite it being restored at the beginning of 2000s, no vehicles have crossed it yet.
Earlier, European Union's delegation at Chisinau have greeted the idea to reopen the bridge.

Fall Tag: Q&A with Grace
The gorgeous trio at My Lifelines tagged me in a wonderful challenge: a "Fall Tag Q&A" that originated with my other gal pal Lauren from Ell Duclos. You see when you are part of this wonderful blogger community, great inspiration spreads like wildfire.
First, can I just say that when I think fall, I think Kirlands. Walking into this seasonal mecca and holy smokes I get fall fever. It's the most wonderful sensory overload experience ever; my adult version of ToysRUs and listed as number "10" in my top 50 simple pleasures. It's what makes my life a little less ordinary.
Thank you Jordan, Lauren, and Abby for passing the torch. Let the Q&A begin…
1. What is one candle you MUST light every fall?
You probably already guessed it, Pumpkin Spice. I have a few go-to items year over year.
But, my all time favorite is from the WoodWick family, pumpkin butter yaass! Honestly, the sound of the crackling wick is oh my goodness fall heaven!
2. When you think of fall, what does it remind you of?
Honestly, it's synonymous for family. Family time. Family dinners. Family movies. Food to feed a small army family! LOL.
3. What is your all-time favorite fall/Halloween movie?
No judging. But, I'm not going to say "Hocus Pocus." Sorry! I have a slew of suggestions – top of the list:
"Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice…. "
Everyone knows if you say Beetlejuice's name three times he appears, but here's a fun fact: did you know that the number three is used multiple times in the film?!
4. What Halloween costume do you have in mind?
Ugh, this is where I fail miserably…. So, I'm just not that girl. I don't want to dress up. But, we are doing an office thing and since I'm a team player – it'll be something CSI related and fabulous, of course.
5. What is your favorite fall trend?
Ooooooo fall trend? Easy!! It's boot and scarf season! If I could just wear boots all year around I'd be one happy camper. Short boots, tall boots, with heels, no heels, rain-boots, sexy ones, clunky yellow ones… You name it – I've got to have it! And scarfs. Well, let's just say I've mastered the art of wearing those bad boys year-around!
6. When you think of fall, what drink comes to mind?
Yep. You guessed it again. Pumpkin Spice Latte. Anywhere that will serve it, including home. Doesn't have to be at Starbucks. No, they didn't invent Pumpkin Spice Latte or Fraps, they just market the hell out of them. But yes, truth be told – they're pretty tasty too!
7. What is your go-to fall beauty product? A must-have staple!
Dark stiletto nails. A must! Deep reds, grays, black. Ombre, holographic, maybe some bling on a random standout nail.
8. Do you prefer apple pie or pumpkin pie?
Yes. LOL.
9. Do you have any fall traditions? If so tell us all about it!
Fall is when I start running again. The Texas heat makes it impossible to run anytime before midnight. October is when I put my Brooks back on and head for the park.
10. The moment of truth, is fall your favorite season?
Fall. It's tied for first for favorite season of the year! Similar to summer, the smells, the sights, sounds oh my. It's the trifecta of sensory heaven. You had me hello, Señor Pumpkin Spice!
Now, in the spirit of all that is blogger fun, I tag Lasonia, Erica, Nicole, Megan, and The Dixon Fam ! Create a new post, answer these 10 questions, link back to this original post, and then tag 5 other bloggers.?
