Former Mexico City police chief Raymundo Collins has caused quite the international stir in 2020 after Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum issued a warrant for his arrest back in January for allegedly diverting government funds into his own pockets, to the tune of $14 million dollars. If that isn't shocking enough, authorities recently searched the home of Collins, who is currently on Interpol's most wanted list and on the run, and found that he was living quite the lavish lifestyle as well, with 41 classic Mustangs and other vintage rides in his stable.
Among the collection were two classic Mustangs, including a black first-gen and 1970 model, as well as old Cadillacs, Buicks, Corvettes, three different types of watercraft, an ATV, and a motorcycle, along with various pieces of valuable artwork, all inside Collins' Tequesquitengo mansion. An arrest warrant was issued for Collins back in September, but authorities just got around to obtaining a search warrant for his property.
When Foreign Affairs Minister Marcelo Ebrard was the mayor of Mexico City, Collins was in charge of the Central de Abasto, the largest wholesale and retail market in the world. He was also in charge of Mexico City's housing program from 2012-2018, during the Miguel Ángel Mancera administration, when the alleged abuse of power occurred. Collins served as deputy police chief when President López Obrador was mayor of the city before taking over the department.
In March, Collins was prohibited from holding office in Mexico City for 20 years and ordered to pay a fine of 320 million pesos ($15.1 million U.S.) after it was found that he illegally acquired a property in Álvaro Obregón.

Authorities have since seized the fugitive's classic Ford Mustang pair and other possessions. If caught and convicted of his crimes, Collins faces 27 months in prison. Meanwhile, Mayor Sheinbaum has also issued arrest warrants for three additional Mancera-era public officials, while two others have been arrested on charges of corruption.

You may not be able to catch a Solange Knowles A Seat At The Table tour this summer, but we have some good news for you.
While at Coachella this weekend, the singer chatted with Complex about touring for her critically acclaimed album, revealing that a "traditional" tour would not be coming to a city near you.
"No, there's no tour in the works—right now I have two different shows," she told the publication. The 30-year-old Grammy winner has performed at several venues since the album dropped, from Saturday Night Live to the Peace Ball: Voices of Hope and Resistance in January. She also hit the stage for South by Southwest and Coachella last weekend. But she made it known that there's a difference between stage shows and more intimate shows at museums and galleries.
ESSENCE Festival 2017 single-night tickets ticket packages are on sale now! For more info and the latest news, visit our Festival page here.
"I have one that is more a performance piece show that is being performed in museums—and more in the art context. And then I have festival shows. As of now, I've not scheduled a proper tour in the more traditional sense."
Adding, "I've had a really, really great time: musically arranging, choreographing, art directing, costume designing—this is where I thrive and get so much joy."
But for those of you who'd like to see Solo, we got you. The singer is on this year's Essence Festival line-up, which also includes Chaka Khan, Diana Ross, Mary J. Blige, Chance the Rapper, Jill Scott and more.

Austin Adams, one of Mariners' most promising relievers, out 6-8 months
BALTIMORE – The news was not what Austin Adams or the Mariners wanted to hear.
Mariners 'starting to get there' in building a bullpen for the future
The knee injury that the right-handed relief pitcher suffered Saturday night trying to avoid a collision with Orioles second baseman Hanser Alberto at first base was serious. An MRI taken Sunday morning revealed an injury to the ACL and meniscus that will require surgery. The recovery and rehab is expected to take six to eight months.
"Initially I thought I had hyperextended it," Adams said at his locker Sunday following the Mariners' 2-1 loss to the Orioles, crutches by his side. "I came in here and watched the video and saw the way the knee moved and thought that's not a hyperextension. I tried to stay as optimistic as possible and not think negative thoughts but it is what it is. It's not a surgery no one's ever had before. There's been success with it, I'm just going to stay positive and dominate rehab."
The injury is a blow for both Adams and the Mariners as he had emerged as one of their better back-of-the-bullpen arms. Since being acquired from the Nationals on May 4 for cash, Adams has posted a 3.77 ERA with a 2.96 FIP. When healthy – he missed six weeks with a shoulder injury – he has flashed moments of dominance, posting a 15.13 K/9 rate, fourth-best of any reliever who has thrown 30 innings or more this season.
In a season where Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto and staff were "mining for gold" (in the words of manager Scott Servais) when it came to relievers, Adams was a success story with a tweak in his pitch usage credited for the uptick in his performance. That success was reassurance that Adams needed in his career and something that will help him get through a long recovery and rehab period.
"It's meant a lot," Adams said. "Just showing myself I can compete at this level. Going out there and even when I do struggle, just throwing strikes. Competing with the best in the world. Getting DFA'd is a really, really weird situation. Being told that you are not good enough to play any more by an organization, then going out and pitching pretty well, it definitely helped this year with my confidence. That's the biggest thing."
The swelling in Adams' left knee will need to subside before surgery will be able to be performed. After that there will be recovery and rehab which will take place near his home in Tampa, Fla. He is not expected to return until June 2020 at the very earliest and the team will no doubt take it cautiously with him. With 2020 expected to be another building year for the Mariners there is no need to rush the 28-year-old Adams, who is under club control through the 2024 season.

"Even the stork in the heavens knows her appointed times; And the turtledove, the swift, and the swallow observe the time of their coming. But My people do not know the judgment of the Lord." (Jeremiah 8:7, NKJV)
The migratory patterns of birds were set by their Creator. They instinctively acknowledge His rule and obediently come and go on course. The annual return of the swallows of San Juan Capistrano remind us of the Creator's precision and of His creatures' compliance to His will. Yet, during the life of Jeremiah, the people of God were living as if they were unaware of the Lord's judgment against their sin. They considered themselves wise while they fully rejected the word of the Lord (Jer. 8:8-9). They were not at all ashamed of their grievous sins against Him, and would indeed fall in the day of their punishment (Jer. 8:10-12). Some Christians have forgotten their God and His righteous judgment of sin. They live as if they are immune to His judgment, even though none of us are (2 Cor. 5:10). Every one of us should take a lesson from the fowl of the air, and obey our Creator's will with punctuality and perseverance.

Biología, Botánica, Genética y Zoología
The dog is one of the two most ubiquitous and popular domestic animals in the world (the cat is the other). For more than 12,000 years the dog has lived with humans as a hunting companion, protector, object of scorn or adoration, and friend. The dog has evolved from similar (that is, undifferentiated) fur-bearing animals into more than 400 distinct breeds. Human beings have played a major role in creating dogs that fulfill distinct societal needs. Through the most rudimentary form of genetic engineering, dogs were bred to accentuate instincts that were evident from their earliest encounters with humans. Although details about the evolution of dogs are uncertain, the first dogs were hunters with keen senses of sight and smell. Humans developed these instincts and created new breeds as need or desire arose. Dogs are regarded differently in different parts of the world. Western civilization has given the relationship between human and dog great importance, but, in some of the developing nations and in many areas of Asia, dogs are not held in the same esteem. In some areas of the world, dogs are used as guards or beasts of burden or even for food, whereas, in the United States and Europe, dogs are protected and admired. In ancient Egypt during the days of the pharoahs, dogs were considered to be sacred. Characteristics of loyalty, friendship, protectiveness, and affection have earned dogs an important position in Western society, and in the United States and Europe the care and feeding of dogs has become a multibillion-dollar business. All dogs belong to the family Canidae, along with their relatives—wolves, jackals, and foxes. They are members of the mammalian order Carnivora, or "Flesh Eaters." Although there are more than 400 different dog breeds, all dogs belong to a single species, Canis familiaris. Dogs have played an important role in the history of human civilization and were among the first domesticated animals. They were important in hunter-gatherer societies as hunting allies and bodyguards against predators. When livestock were domesticated about 7,000 to 9,000 years ago, dogs served as herders and guardians of sheep, goats, and cattle. Although many still serve in these capacities, dogs are increasingly used for social purposes and companionship. Today, dogs are employed as guides for the blind and disabled or for police work. Dogs are even used in therapy in nursing homes and hospitals to encourage patients toward recovery. Humans have bred a wide range of different dogs adapted to serve a variety of functions. This has been enhanced by improvements in veterinary care and animal husbandry.
It is uncertain when the first dog became a companion of humans, but it is likely that wild canids were scavengers near tribal campsites at the same time that ancient humans discovered a hunting partner in the animals that ventured close by. In ancient Egypt, dogs were thought to possess godlike characteristics. They were pampered by their own servants, outfitted with jeweled collars, and fed the choicest diet. Only royalty was permitted to own purebred dogs, and upon the death of a ruler his favourite dog was often interred with him to protect him from harm in the afterlife. Illustrations of dogs dating from the Bronze Age have been found on walls, tombs, and scrolls throughout Europe, the Middle East, and North America. Often the dogs are depicted hunting game with their human counterparts. Statues of dogs guard the entrances to burial crypts. In many cases these dogs clearly resemble modern canines. Such relics are indelible testimony to the importance that humans have given to the dog throughout the ages.
General characteristics.
Dogs come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. It is difficult to imagine that a large Great Dane and a tiny poodle are of the same species, but they are genetically identical with the same anatomic features. All dogs have 78 chromosomes, or 39 pairs of chromosomes (humans have 23 pairs). One member of each pair comes from each parent. Teeth.Dogs have two sets of teeth. Twenty-eight deciduous teeth erupt by six to eight weeks of age, and by the time puppies are six to seven months old these deciduous teeth are all replaced by 42 adult teeth. The permanent teeth include incisors, which are used to nip and bite; canines, which tear and shred flesh; and premolars and molars, which shear and crush. In short, a dog's teeth serve as weapons and as tools for cutting or tearing food. The canines are the upper and lower fangs for which the dog family was named. As in most carnivores, the teeth are high-crowned and pointed, unlike the broad, grinding teeth of many herbivorous animals. The teething process can be difficult for puppies. Their gums hurt and become swollen, they may lose their appetites, and they may have mild intermittent diarrhea. Digestion.Dogs rarely chew their food. Once the food is taken into the mouth, it is gulped or swallowed and passed through the esophagus into the stomach, where digestive enzymes begin to break it down. Most of the digestion and absorption of food takes place in the small intestines with the aid of the pancreas and the liver. The pancreas secretes enzymes needed for the regulation of the digestive process. As in humans, the pancreas produces insulin and glucagon, both of which are necessary for the regulation of glucose. The liver is the largest internal organ in the body. It has six lobes (whereas the human liver has only one). The liver is responsible for many essential life-preserving functions. It helps digestion by producing bile, which aids in the absorption of fat. The liver also metabolizes protein and carbohydrates, and it excretes toxins from the bloodstream. In addition, it manufactures major blood-clotting agents. Because the liver performs all these vital functions, liver disease can be a major problem in dogs. Skeletal structure.The skeletal frame of the dog consists of 319 bones. If a dog's tail is docked or absent at birth, there obviously are fewer bones in the skeleton. The muscles and tendons of a dog are similar to those of a human; however, a dog's upper body muscles bear half the weight of the entire body and are better developed than a human's. The weight distribution between the front and the rear of the dog are relatively equal. Dogs are running animals, with the exception of those bred specifically for different purposes. For instance, the bulldog, with its large head and short, "bowed" legs, cannot be called a creature born to chase game. Most dogs, however, are well equipped to run or lope over long distances, provided that they are physically conditioned for such activities. The construction of the shoulder and pelvic bones and the way they articulate with the leg bones and the spine allow most breeds to trot, run, or gallop with ease. Certain breeds have distinct gaits that have been genetically selected by humans. The German shepherd dog is known for its "flying trot." The extreme extension of the front and rear legs causes the dog to appear as if it were soaring, although one foot always remains on the ground. Another unique gait is that of the greyhound. This dog was bred for great bursts of speed, and its most comfortable gait is the gallop. The spine is unusually flexible, allowing the dog to contract and extend its four legs in unison, whereby all four feet are off the ground at the same time. Other breeds also have unique features. The Afghan hound was bred to chase game over long distances in rocky terrain. Its structure permits great flexibility through the hip joints and lower back, enabling the dog to turn quickly in a small area. The dachshund, by contrast, is long and low with short legs. This dog was bred to hunt badgers underground, and its shape allows it to enter subterranean tunnels in search of its prey. Although most breeds no longer follow the pursuits for which they were originally bred, their instincts remain strong, and their structure still allows them to perform their specific tasks. Senses.Dogs have the same five senses as humans. However, some are more highly developed, and others are deficient compared with those of humans. Dogs' sense of smell is by far the most acute and is immeasurably better than that of humans. Dogs are used for such tasks as tracking missing persons, digging underground, and tracing toxic substances, such as gases, that are undetectable by humans. Dogs can detect drugs, explosives, and the scents of their masters. Not all canine noses are the same, however. Some breeds, such as the German shepherd and the bloodhound, have much more keenly developed olfactory senses than others. One would not choose a short-nosed breed, such as the pug, to engage in tracking. Even in short-nosed breeds, however, the olfactory centre is relatively highly developed. It is arranged in folds in order to filter smells from the incoming air. Some rescue dogs are trained to follow a scent on the ground, and others are trained to scent the air. Both are able to distinguish one person from another even after a considerable passage of time. Hunting dogs—such as pointers, retrievers, and spaniels—are trained to scent birds and can distinguish one variety of bird from another. The dog's sense of taste is poorly developed compared with that of humans. If forced to live on their own, dogs will eat almost anything without much discrimination. Dogs possess an acute sense of hearing. Aboriginal breeds had large, erect and very mobile ears that enabled them to hear sounds from a great distance in any direction. Some modern breeds have better hearing than others, but they all can detect noises well beyond the range of the human ear. Dogs are able to register sounds of 35,000 vibrations per second (compared with 20,000 per second in humans), and they also can shut off their inner ear in order to filter out distracting sounds. The eyesight of a dog is not as keen as its sense of smell, and it is generally thought that dogs have poor colour perception. Some breeds, such as the Saluki and the Afghan hound, were developed to chase game by sight over long distances, and these dogs can see well enough to detect any movement far on the horizon. Dogs can generally see better in poor light than humans but not as well in bright light. They have a wider field of vision than humans because their eyes are set further toward the sides of their heads, but they are not as adept at focusing on objects at close range or at judging distances. Dogs have a third eyelid, a membrane that protects the eyeball from irritants and is sometimes visible in front of the eye. Dogs are sensitive to touch, the fifth sense, and use this sense to communicate with one another and with their human counterparts. Learning where to touch a dog is an important part in either stimulating or relaxing it and is useful in training a puppy or bonding with an adult dog. Coats.There are three basic types of hair: short (as on a pointer or Doberman pinscher), medium (as on an Irish setter or Siberian husky), and long (as on a chow chow or Maltese). Within these categories there are also coarse and fine types of hair. Dogs come in a wide variety of colours, but in many breeds colour selection is an important consideration, as is the colour distribution on the dog. Most dogs shed their coats seasonally. This is a natural occurrence that depends in large measure on the amount of available daylight. In the fall as days become shorter, a dog's coat will grow thicker and longer. In the spring the dog will begin to shed its coat, and it will take longer for the coat to grow in over the summer. Temperature influences the amount of body coat a dog grows. Dogs living in warm climates all year long rarely grow hair coats as thick as those living in colder areas, although this will affect the body coat and the amount of protective undercoat more than the topcoat or the length of furnishings on the belly, ears, and tail. Grooming is an important part of touch to a dog and can be a pleasurable and relaxing means of relating to it. The dog's coat forms a barrier between the environment and the skin. Grooming the coat enhances the dog's beauty and well-being and gives the owner the chance to evaluate the general health of the dog.
Sexual maturity. There is some variation in the age at which dogs reach sexual maturity. Small breeds appear to mature faster than large ones, which usually cycle later. It is not uncommon for large-breed females to come into heat for the first time at more than 1 year of age, although 8 to 9 months is the norm. Dogs are sexually mature between 6 months and 1 year but are not socially mature until they are about 2 years of age. Females first cycle anywhere from 6 to 18 months of age and approximately twice a year thereafter. The only exception is the African basenji, which cycles annually, bearing one litter a year. Reproductive cycle.The heat cycle of the female lasts from 18 to 21 days. The first stage is called proestrus. It begins with mild swelling of the vulva and a bloody discharge. This lasts for about 9 days, although it may vary by 2 or 3 days. During this phase the bitch may attract males, but she is not ready to be bred and will reject all advances. The next phase is the estrus. Usually the discharge decreases and becomes lighter, almost pink, in colour. The vulva becomes very enlarged and soft, and the bitch will be receptive to the male. This stage may last 3 or 4 days or as long as 7 to 11 days. The female may be receptive a day or two past the time when she would still be fertile. In order to be sure that the breeding is taking place at the optimum time, vaginal smears and blood tests can be done by a veterinarian beginning before estrus and through the estral phase. At about the 14th day, or whenever estrus ends, the final, or luteal, stage of the cycle begins; this stage is called diestrus. The discharge becomes redder, the vulva returns to its normal size, and the bitch will no longer accept the male for mating. When all signs of discharge and swelling are absent, the heat is complete. The diestrus stage lasts 60 to 90 days (if no pregnancy has occurred) or until the bitch gives birth. She then enters anestrus, which is the time frame between the end of the last cycle and the beginning of the next proestrus. Canine males are always fertile from the onset of their sexual adolescence, usually after six months of age. Larger-breed males may take a few months longer to become sexually mature. Males are usually promiscuous and are willing to mate with any available female. Males produce far more sperm than is needed to impregnate the ova that are released during estrus. Small-breed bitches usually produce small litters. Two or 3 puppies in a breed such as a Yorkshire terrier is considered the norm. Large-breed litters can have as many as 10 or 12 puppies, although the normal bitch can suckle up to 8 at a time. Gestation and whelping.The normal gestation period is 63 days from the time of conception. This may vary if the bitch has been bred two or three times or if the eggs are fertilized a day or two after the mating has taken place. Eggs remain fertile for about 48 hours. Sperm can live in the vaginal tract for several days. In order to determine if a bitch is pregnant, a veterinarian can manually palpate her abdomen at about 25 days after breeding. Ultrasound also can be done at that time. At about 40 days X rays will confirm pregnancy. Most bitches whelp normally. However, the large-headed, short-bodied breeds and the toy breeds often must undergo cesarean sections in order to deliver live puppies. Reproductive capacity.Both males and females are fertile well into their advanced age. It is generally considered best for the bitch to be bred for the first time upon maturity but not before her second or third heat cycle, depending on her age at the first. Because small breeds mature more quickly, they can be bred at an earlier age than large breeds. A bitch will have less difficulty in conceiving and carrying a litter if she is bred before the age of five. As she becomes older, litter size generally decreases. After the age of seven, bitches are likely to have small litters and experience problems in delivering the puppies. Veterinarians feel that bitches generally should not be bred after that age. Males can be bred as long as they are fertile, although with age the motility and quantity of sperm decrease.
The next consideration is the selection of a particular type of dog. Many people want a purebred dog because they like the appearance or the personality, and they are assured that the puppy they buy will grow up to look like the breed it represents. Others find that a mixed breed will do just as well, and there are many shelters, humane societies, and rescue groups that harbour dogs in need of homes. No matter what kind of dog a person chooses, it is essential that it be a healthy animal. When evaluating a puppy or an adult dog, several features will help determine the physical condition of the animal. The dog should appear friendly and outgoing. Puppies in particular should exhibit curiosity and a tail-wagging enthusiasm. They should not hang back or appear timid or frightened. Eyes should be bright and shiny with no discharge, and the inner eyelids ought to be smooth and pink. Ears should be clean-smelling and free of debris. Gums must be pink and firm, except in the case of chow chows and shar-peis, whose gums and tongue are black. The skin should feel warm and dry to the touch. Clammy skin or the presence of reddened patches, crusts, scales, or parasites are indicative of problems that could be both external and internal. The hair coat ought to be clean and sweet-smelling. The dog should be in good form and build, but not obese or so thin that the ribs and hipbones show. People buying purebred dogs should know the distinctive characteristics of the breed they have chosen, so that they can ask the breeder proper questions and have some means of evaluating the quality of the dog they are purchasing. Many purebred dogs have hidden genetic problems of which good breeders are aware. Many of these problems can be controlled by careful breeding, but the purchaser must know—through reading about the breed and talking to fanciers—what questions to ask. Mixed-breed dogs also can have hidden genetic problems, but there is no way to determine what they might be or whether they will eventually affect the dog in an adverse manner. Great strides are being made in veterinary research to identify genetic defects and thereby assist breeders to select the best breeding stock. By eliminating from their gene pool those dogs with genetic abnormalities, breeders can help ensure that the breed remains healthy and viable.
Nutrition and growth.
Puppies need three basic things in order to thrive: good nutrition, warmth, and companionship. Puppies need to eat three or four times a day from the time they are weaned until they are about six months old. Thereafter they can be fed twice a day until maturity and once daily after that. However, many dog owners, especially those with large breeds, feed twice a day throughout the dog's life (this does not mean feeding more than the required daily amount, but it is a more balanced method of feeding). Puppies need twice an adult dog's maintenance requirements of energy and nutrients for proper growth from the time they are weaned until they reach about half of their expected mature weight. There should be steady growth on a weekly basis, but there should be no excess fat around the abdomen. Puppies grow best if they remain at a suitable weight without becoming obese. Overweight puppies are candidates for crippling bone diseases if they are too heavy during the critical growing months. On the other hand, feeding too little will result in poor growth and lack of energy. Adult dogs burn fewer calories than do puppies or young and active adults. Therefore, they need to eat less in order to maintain optimum weight and activity. Dogs that work require extra nutrients. For instance, sled dogs need to be fed a diet that is much higher in calories, one with a ratio of fat, protein, and carbohydrates very different from the diet of more sedentary dogs. Owners may have to experiment with different types of food to determine which are best suited to their dogs. There are three basic types of commercially produced dog foods: canned, dry, and semimoist. Predominant ingredients of most of these include corn, wheat, barley, rice, or soy meal, in combination or alone. Commercial dog foods also include a meat such as beef, lamb, chicken, or liver, or meat by-products. It is important to read the labels to determine the proportions of each and the amounts of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins and minerals contained. Sleep is almost as important as nutrition for puppies. A warm, quiet place for them to rest is essential for normal growth. Puppies will usually play vigorously and then suddenly fall asleep. Their need for sleep decreases as they grow into adulthood, but dogs spend a great deal of their time sleeping when they are not stimulated to activity. All dogs need exercise, some more than others. Achieving good health and sound temperament demands that dogs be given the opportunity for regular stimulating exercise. Puppies should be allowed to run at will without restraint and without being pushed beyond their limits. As dogs mature, jogging or walking on a lead can be introduced, but any forced exercise should be withheld until the dog is fully grown. The most common cause of a dog's destructive behaviour in the house is lack of exercise. Behavioral problems such as tail chasing, chewing, and excessive barking and whining can in most cases be traced to confinement for long periods of time without respite. The ability to provide adequate exercise is one of the most important considerations that prospective dog owners must face before acquiring a puppy. Exercise, however, does not mean allowing the dog to run at large. Dogs ought to be supervised at all times when outside: they either should be accompanied by owners using a lead or have a securely fenced area in which to play. The term companion animal means that dogs need company. They are happiest when allowed to be an integral part of the household. Puppies thrive and learn when they are included in the household routine at an early age. Training becomes easier when the unique bond between human and dog is strengthened from the beginning.
The Toy group is composed of those canines that were bred specifically to be companion animals. They were developed to be small, portable, and good-natured, the sort of dog that ladies of the court could carry with them. These dogs were largely pampered and treasured by aristocracy around the world. Several of these breeds come from ancient lineage. The Pekingese and the Japanese Chin were owned by royalty. No one else was permitted to own one of these breeds. They were carefully bred and nurtured, and until the mid-20th century they were not allowed to be exported out of their countries of origin. In England the cavalier King Charles spaniel, a bred-down version of a sporting spaniel, was the favourite pet of many royal families. Cavaliers, while popular in the United States, are not registered with the AKC, but their close cousins, the English toy spaniels, are. Toy poodles also belong to this group. The miniature pinscher resembles the Doberman pinscher but in fact is of quite different legacy. This perky little dog has a particularly distinctive gait, found in no other breed. Its standard calls for a hackney gait, such as that found in carriage horses. Other members of the Toy group are equally individual in their looks and personalities, making this the most diverse group. They make ideal apartment or small-house pets and are found ranging from hairless (the Chinese crested) to the profusely coated Pekingese or Shih tzu. In general, however, Toy breeds are alert and vigorous dogs. They are fine-boned and well-balanced, often considered graceful animals.

text: This book serves as an introduction to mathematical aspects of integrable Hamiltonian systems. In the first chapter, the author introduces symplectic manifolds, Poisson brackets on a symplectic manifold, Hamiltonians and integrable Hamiltonian systems (together with basic examples), as well as the classical Darboux theorem and its proof. The second chapter contains a description of symplectic action and the local Arnold-Liouville theorem on action-angle variables, as well as a global version of the theorem. In the third chapter, a relationship of integrability and the differential Galois group is treated. The author proves a strictly stronger version of the Zeglin lemma and the Morales-Ramis theorem, giving a necessary condition for integrability in terms of the Galois group. In the fourth chapter, the author explains a relationship of the Arnold-Liouville theorem and algebraic curves via the Lax-pair approach. The last two chapters are appendices containing basics of differential Galois theory and algebraic geometry (algebraic curves and the Riemann-Roch theorem), which are used in the two previous chapters. The book is a nice introduction to integrability of Hamiltonian systems connecting it with two mentioned branches of mathematics, which were developed independently but which are deeply related to the studied topic. The book contains many nice illustrative examples (including the simple and spherical pendulum, the Euler-Poinsot rigid body, the Lagrange and the Kowalevski top, harmonic and anharmonic oscillators and the Hénon-Heiles system). It also contains many exercises, the solutions of which help the reader to understand the theory. The book offers a nice, short and concise introduction to this attractive topic for mathematicians as well as physicists. For the latter, it also represents a natural opportunity to learn more not only about integrable systems but also about the basics of differential Galois theory and algebraic curves.

- 1.1 Introduction
- 1.2 Thematic Methodology for World Heritage Assessment
- 1.3 Approaches to World Heritage Assessment
- 1.4 The Expert Panel
1.1 Introduction
The Comprehensive Regional Assessment (CRA) process, agreed by governments as part of the 1992 National Forest Policy Statement (NFPS), requires an assessment of all forest values prior to the development of Regional Forest Agreements (RFAs). These agreements are intended to provide the basis for ensuring that the full range of obligations and interests of both Commonwealth and State governments are met in relation to the protection of forest values and the sustainable use and development of forest resources.
In accordance with the Commonwealth's obligations under the World Heritage Convention, there is a requirement to identify and assess World Heritage values. In the case of forested areas this obligation is being undertaken as part of the RFA process. A methodology for assessment of these values has been discussed between the Commonwealth and the States. The methodology is based on current knowledge and expertise and its application in the CRA context is directed primarily at forested areas. The methodology is outlined below.
1.2 Thematic Methodology for World Heritage Assessment
Places on the World Heritage List are defined as those which have outstanding universal value. The UNESCO World Heritage Committee, in evaluating whether a place nominated to the World Heritage List has outstanding universal value, uses a short-hand way of considering this level of significance by asking `is this place the "best of the best" in the world?'
The methodology used for World Heritage assessment in the RFA process is based on a thematic approach to identifying this level of value. To be consistent with the work of the World Heritage Committee, and to ensure that it is indeed working at the level of outstanding universal value, the following question is posed continuously when working through the methodology - `are we dealing with the "best of the best" of its kind in the world?'
The framework on which the methodology is based was originally developed by Domicelj, Halliday and James (1992) and is outlined in their report entitled Framework for the assessment of Australia's cultural properties against the World Heritage Criteria. The thematic approach is consistent with those being used globally to assess World Heritage value. While the original Domicelj et al. (1992) study concentrated on places with cultural values, the methodology is a generic one and has been adapted for the forest World Heritage work to assess outstanding universal natural value as well as cultural value.
The thematic methodology represents a systematic, comparative and efficient means for identifying places that meet the criteria and operational guidelines of the World Heritage Convention. The methodology assesses significance by developing themes of outstanding universal value and then testing places against these by working through a series of steps, which include tests drawn from the Operational Guidelines for the World Heritage Convention. A sieve model is used and places which do not meet particular tests of significance, integrity and authenticity are discarded at various steps. The steps in the thematic methodology are summarised below:
Step A Identify themes of outstanding universal value relating to natural and cultural values of terrestrial Australia.
Step B Identify places in forested areas where further work is needed to determine whether they are best global expressions of the themes of outstanding universal value.
Step C Determine, with reference to the World Heritage criteria, which of those places identified in Step B have integrity and authenticity, and identify existing legal protection and management mechanisms.
Step D Evaluate the significant places selected in Step C by consideration of their global context, and identify those essential and/or integral to a theme of outstanding universal value.
Step E Assess the places selected in Step D against the definitions in Articles 1 and 2 of the World Heritage Convention and the criteria in paragraphs 24 (a) and 44 (a) of the Operational Guidelines
Application of the thematic methodology in the RFA process has involved the use of an Expert Panel to undertake Steps A and B. The Expert Panel advises governments of themes of outstanding universal value, and of forested places that require further assessment as possible best global expressions of the themes.
Places identified in Step B might not in themselves have World Heritage values. Only places that meet the requirements of all of the steps of the methodology, including the final step involving a formal assessment against the criteria, and operational guidelines, are likely to have World Heritage value.
The further steps of the methodology (Steps C, D and E) will be undertaken at a later date, as RFAs are completed and joint assessment processes are agreed between the Commonwealth and relevant State Governments.
None of the places identified by Steps B - E fulfil the definition of `identified property' in the World Heritage Properties Conservation Act 1983. The Attorney-General's Department advised the Commonwealth's World Heritage Unit in correspondence of 7 June 1996 that "the mere application of any or all stages of the methodology to a place will not make that place `identified property' for the purposes of the World Heritage Properties Conservation Act 1983. The Act will not be capable of applying to a place solely by reason of the application of the above steps of the methodology."
A more detailed outline of the methodology for World Heritage assessment is at Attachment 1.
1.3 Approaches to World Heritage Assessment
The methodology summarised in the previous section and in Attachment 1 has been developed to provide governments with a rigorous and systematic approach to identifying World Heritage values in the context of the RFA process. Its application involves identification of possible places of outstanding universal value in Australia's forested areas, as part of the work being undertaken to develop Regional Forest Agreements for particular states or regions.
The context for the use of the methodology is therefore confined to terrestrial areas of Australia that are defined as forested. The definition of "forest", as agreed by Governments in the National Forest Policy Statement, was used as the basis for identifying forested areas for World Heritage Assessments, viz:
"an area, incorporating all living and non-living components, that is dominated by trees having usually a single stem and a mature or potentially mature stand height exceeding 5 metres, and with existing or potential projective cover of overstorey strata about equal to or greater than 30 per cent. This definition includes Australia's diverse native forests and plantations, regardless of age. It is also sufficiently broad to encompass areas of trees that are sometimes described as woodlands. The focus of this Statement excludes woodlands". (National Forest Policy Statement p.47).
Many other parts of Australia have important values which may be outstanding in a global context; these include the drier areas which comprise the majority of the terrestrial parts of the continent, as well as the extensive marine areas surrounding the continent and its islands. The assessment of possible World Heritage values in these non-forest areas of Australia is outside the scope of the advice to be provided by the Expert Panel
The Panel has been advised that the thematic methodology outlined in this report is being used by governments in addition to the approaches that have been traditionally used for identifying and assessing possible World Heritage places. Its use has not replaced any of these processes; nor is it the intention of governments that it should. The methodology being used in the context of the RFA process is only one of the approaches being used by the Commonwealth Government to ensure the protection of Australia's World Heritage values, as part of meeting its obligations under the World Heritage Convention and the World Heritage Properties Protection Act 1983.
The application of the methodology outlined in subsequent sections of this report, and in the two previous reports of the Expert Panel, is confined to identifying places of possible outstanding universal value in forested areas. This application of the methodology does not extend to reviewing the values of Australia's currently listed World Heritage Areas, nor does it encompass any work to consider the integrity of these World Heritage Areas, including issues associated within their boundaries.
1.4 The Expert Panel
A Panel of Experts was established to implement Steps A and B of the methodology. Members of the Expert Panel were drawn from amongst Australia's foremost experts in disciplines relevant to the World Heritage natural and cultural criteria. Panel members were required to have international standing in their fields of expertise. This ensures that they can assess themes and places in their global perspective.
Expertise and experience in the identification and assessment of World Heritage values was also an important factor in the selection process; the Panel included members with substantial experience in this area, as well as in their areas of specialist technical expertise.
The agreed structure of the Panel included a chairman and at least two experts from each of the following five disciplinary areas, identified in relation to the World Heritage criteria:
- Aboriginal cultural values,
- European cultural values,
- natural geological and geomorphological values,
- natural flora values, and
- natural fauna values.
The Panel was established following discussions between the Commonwealth and the States.
The Panel met in Melbourne on 13 - 14 June 1996 to implement Step A of the methodology for terrestrial areas of Australia, and Step B for forested areas of Victoria. It subsequently met in Canberra on 13 March 1997 to implement Step B for forested areas of Tasmania, and again in Canberra on 14, 15 and 21 October 1997 to complete its implementation of Step B in relation to forested areas of Western Australia, New South Wales and Queensland. Members who attended each of the Panel's meetings are listed in Attachments 2-4.

Summary: In the gritty London underworld of drugs and guns, violence is 24/7 and betrayal is the only way out.
Gilly (Louis Dempsey) steps out of prison with nothing and no one except J (Andrew Howard), the friend he took the rap for. A two-bit hustler with a major drug problem, J doesn't even notice Gilly is out early. Still, they trust each other and that means something.
All Gilly wants is to start over with the money he's owed, but J has invested it in another drugs-for-guns deal. When he sees J's wife Marie (Melanie Lynskey) again, Gilly can't help but realise everything he hasn't got. She has built a life for them, while J steadily screws it up. Yet despite his anger and frustration, Gilly agrees to go along with J, as always.

Even J's own kid brother, Skip (Jamie Sweeney), is working for him running a team of teenage drug dealers. These kids have seen it all. Skip's already got the attitude, now all he wants is a gun. As J and Gilly do the rounds for Max, the monotony of violence and abuse becomes a catalyst and the tension between them is finally brought to a head. J pulls a gun on his old friend.
Pressure continues to build. The cops are now onto J in more ways than he could know. Max learns from his police contact of J's plans to make a separate gun deal with their main supplier, Jackie Junior (Gerard Butler). In order to regain control of his business Max demands that J sacrifice Gilly in a drug deal set-up. J doesn't realise that Max is onto him and that the real plan is for the police to blame J for Gilly's murder.
Faced with Jackie Junior, wracked with guilt and about to do the deal, J finally cracks, firing off a spray of bullets. All hell breaks loose and he and Gilly blow their way out onto the street. Only then does J discover that Gilly has plans of his own.

A fast double bet is one of the simplest types of bets used in bettings, where two bets are made, and if the first win, the winning outcome is taken forward and used as a stake for the second. This type of betting is especially popular among single bettors who have higher success rates and like to enhance their winning odds.
However, with the possibilities of higher returns, there is also an increased risk of losing the entire bet all at once. The double bets are often employed in sports bettings like football and horse racing because of its endless list of excellent match fixtures.
Basic concept
This betting system is nearly comparable to the traditional type of betting system called Parlay bet, where you merge multiple individual bets (typically 2-10) into one lot or card.
The main feature of this bet is that it is flexible to use, and the basic concept of this bet is to win live casino bonuses for every turn. Casino players can utilise double bet as the base system for Roulette games, where they can use it even for the smallest units of profit.
How does fast double bet work?
When players choose to employ the fast double bet, they must bet on three even chances using three separate banks. Which means, one even chance equals to one bank. In other words, the system is only applicable to even money bets, wherein, the payout is 1:1. For better understanding, here is an example:
An aggressive strategy for Roulette, Blackjack, or other games where the house edge is low is playing all 3 even money chance bets on the Roulette table at the same time, place 1 unit on each. If you get a win, place the winnings plus 1 more unit, so 3 units again, if this wins, place the winnings – 6 units – plus one more, so 7 in total. If you lose, start with 1 unit again.
That is, the player bets one unit in the first spin, and if he/she wins the round, one unit is gained. Next, the player takes the two winning amount to the next round and adds one more unit from the three even chances, which makes it a total of three betting units. So, if the player succeeds again, the winning total will become six.
For the final spin, the player bets the whole six winning totals which were previously won and includes the last unit. If the player wins yet again, the total gain will be 14. Following the third spin, the player will go back to square one and start betting again. Note that the player needs to win three consecutive bets and earn 14 units to succeed the fast double bet.
Also, if you haven't noticed yet, the player has only a bet with a total of three units using his own money. This system is also applicable to other even chance bets like Red/Black, High/Low, and Odd/Even.
Goes on losing streak
In the cases when things get out of hand and you don't know how to play live casino further, and the luck is not on your side, the only way to get out of it is to make a total U-turn on the system.
If the player is on a losing streak and has lost more than 20 units, this betting unit pattern can be used – First spin = 2 unit bet the Second spin = 6 unit bet the Third spin = 14 unit bet so, in short, the unit value is multiplied.
In another circumstance, if the losing streak continues more than 20 rounds, the player is only required to increase the value of all the bets again. Which means, the first spin will be worth 4 unit bet? When the player recovers the lost amount or the initial bankroll, he/she can return to square one with the initial stake values and start betting again.
In conclusion, a fast double bet is a lot riskier when compared to single bets because in the former system, if you lose, you lose everything at once. This is the sole reason why players contemplate using this system. But for those who often succeed at double betting, this system can be their ultimate strategy to gain profits at a faster rate.
The fast double Roulette betting system is a perfect example of a classical type of parlay bet. For the uninitiated, a parlay bet is a move a player makes by leaving his winnings from the previous spin on the table as his next bet for the upcoming spin. The goal of the parlay is to win compounded amounts of bets for every turn. Aside from the parlay bet, fast double bet also requires the player to have an additional fund reserved on the table.

First Look at 2021/22 Marketing Year Following Sky-Rocketing 2020/21 Export Demand
A review of the May WASDE with updates to the 2020/2021 marketing year and a first look at the 2021/2022 marketing year for select crops
Market Intel / May 13, 2021
The May World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates gives the first look at the newest marketing year demand expectations since the USDA Agricultural Outlook Forum in February. This is the highlight of spring USDA reports as it incorporates farmer planting decisions from the March Prospective Planting report and adapts supply estimates to reflect weekly planting progress reports. The big story leading up to this report is rising prices due to the increased global demand for U.S. commodities. This Market Intel dives into the May WASDE for updated estimates of the current 2020/21 marketing year crop and assesses what could be in store for the newest 2021/22 marketing year, which starts in September.
USDA estimates corn planted for the 2021/2022 marketing year at 91.1 million acres, just slightly up from 2020, when 90.8 million acres of corn were planted. USDA forecasts farmers will harvest 83.5 million acres of corn in 2021 at a yield rate of 179.5 bushels per acre. At these estimates, corn production for 2021/2022 is estimated to be slightly under 15 billion bushels, just behind 2016's 15.1 billion bushels. Keep in mind, the production estimate for the 2021 level is a 6% increase from 2020, when U.S. farmers produced just over 14.1 billion bushels, and a 4% increase from the five-year average of 14.4 billion bushels.
On the demand side, for the new 2021/22 marketing year, USDA estimates ethanol use will rebound, increasing by 225 million bushels, or 4.5%, from the 2020/21 marketing year. This rebound is largely driving the overall increase in domestic corn use expected for the newest marketing year. Corn export estimates for the newest marketing year seem to be unexciting considering the most recent surge to exports in the current marketing year. USDA estimates peg 2021/22 exports at 2.45 billion bushels, down 12% from where exports are currently tracking in the 2020/21 marketing year.
This month, USDA estimates 2020/21 corn exports to be a record 2.7 billion bushels. At this time last year, the agency had anticipated exports to only be 2.15 billion bushels, but the pace of exports and increased global buying has boosted estimated exports by 29% in just a year.
All this being said, for marketing year 2021/22 estimates, the uptick in ethanol and decrease in exports pushes USDA's estimate for corn ending stocks just above 1.5 billion bushels. When compared to the current marketing year, ending stocks have fallen to 1.2 billion bushels, down 62% from the 3.3 billion bushels first reported for the 2020/21 marketing year this time last year. These early demand expectations have a lot of room to change over the course of the coming months.
USDA estimates put the 2021/22 stocks-to-use ratio at 10.2%. When looking at the current 2020/21 marketing year, the corn stocks-to-use ratio has fallen to its lowest level since 2012 at 8.5%. For the 2021/22 corn price, USDA puts corn at $5.70 per bushel, while the 2020/21 marketing year price increased to $4.35 per bushel from $4.30 last month.
Soybean farmers are expected to plant 87.6 million acres of soybeans in 2021/2022, up 5.4% from 2020, when farmers planted 83.1 million acres. Looking back to 2019, soybean farmers only planted 76.1 million acres, down 15.1% compared to estimates for the upcoming marketing year. As part of soybean supply expectations for 2021/22, soybean yields are at 50.8 bushels per acre, with 86.7 million harvested soybean acres. Compared to 2020 when soybean production was 4.1 billion bushels, U.S. farmers are expected to produce 4.4 billion bushels of soybeans in 2021, an increase of 7% and an increase of 5%, compared to the 5-year average.
The increase in soybean supply for 2021 follows heightened soybean demand in 2020, largely driven by exports. While 2020/21 marketing year soybean exports are at 2.28 billion bushels, it's an increase of 11% from when 2020/21 soybean exports were first estimated to be just over 2 billion bushels in May 2020. Demand expectations for the 2021/22 marketing year are slightly lower, with 205 million fewer bushels of soybeans anticipated to be exported.
For the newest marketing year, the expected production increase is offset by lowered export expectations, but ending stocks are expected to be relatively close to 2020/21 ending stocks. For 2021/22, soybean ending stocks are estimated at 140 million bushels, while the 2020/21 ending stocks are currently estimated to be 120 million bushels. Comparing the stocks-to-use ratio, the 2021/22 marketing year is slightly higher at 3.2% compared to 2020/21 for which the U.S. is on pace for a 2.6% soybean stocks-to-use ratio matching the lowest stocks-to-use ratio in 2013.
For both years, the expected continuation of lower soybean stocks is pushing prices higher. For the 2020/21 marketing year, the average farm price for soybeans remains at $11.25 per bushel, where it was last month. The 2021/22 marketing year average farm price is estimated to increase 23% to $13.85 per bushel.
Figure 1 displays U.S. crop production for corn, soybeans, wheat and cotton since the 2018/19 marketing year, including the new 2021/2022 projections and the five-year average.
Wheat planted acres in 2021/2022 are estimated at 46.4 million acres, an increase of 4.7% from 2020/21's 44.3 million acres. Yield is estimated to be 50 bushels per acre, leading wheat production to potentially reach well above 1.872 billion bushels, a 2.5% increase from 2020/2021 wheat production, which reached 1.826 billion bushels. While wheat production has increased in the past two years, it still sits about 3% below the five-year average of 1.938 billion bushels.
Wheat demand in 2020/2021 increased from earlier-in-the-year expectations but sat almost parallel to demand in 2019/20. For the newest marketing year, wheat is expected to be a livestock feed substitute and the feed-use category is largely driving the overall wheat-use estimate. Feed use of wheat for 2021/22 is expected to increase by 70 million bushels from 2020/21, while exports for the newest marketing year are anticipated to pull back 65 million bushels.
The anticipated increase in production helps supply meet some of the crop demand, however, increased domestic uses for wheat in the newest marketing year are expected to lead to lower ending stocks. 2021/22 ending stocks for wheat are estimated at 774 million bushels, a decrease of 1% from the 872 million bushels of ending stocks in 2020/21. The resulting stocks-to-use ratio for wheat in 2021/22 is expected at 37%, its lowest level since 2014, while 2020/21 stocks-to-use sits just above 41%.
USDA estimates the average farm price of wheat for the 2020/21 marketing year to be $5.05 per bushel, a 9% increase from estimates this time last year, when USDA expected the crop price to be $4.60 per bushel. Into the newest marketing year, USDA estimates the 2021/22 marketing year average price of wheat to be $6.50 per bushel, the first time it would be above $6 since 2013.
Cotton planting expectations for the 2021/2022 marketing year are 12.04 million acres, which is very close to 2020/21's 12.09 million acres. USDA does not anticipate a yield bump for the new marketing year and expects the 847 pounds per acre of 2020 to be matched in 2021. However, farmers are expected to harvest 9.63 million acres of cotton in 2021, a 16% increase from the 8.28 million acres harvested in 2020. This anticipated increase in cotton harvest is expected to bump 2021 cotton production to 17 million bales, up from the 14.6 million bales produced in 2020. Despite the increase, this is about 6% below the five-year average of 18 million bales of cotton produced in the U.S.
Demand for cotton in the 2020/21 marketing year, particularly exports, has helped decrease the accumulated ending stocks of the crop from previous years. With lower-than-expected supply in 2020 and the continued increase in exports -- now sitting at 16.25 million bales, up from 15 million bales estimated this time last year -- overall cotton use in 2020/21 is at its highest since 2017. For the newest marketing year, coming in with less carry-over helps offset increased production expectations that can be helpful with a reduction in expected exports. In the 2021/22 marketing year, USDA expects cotton exports to decrease to 14.7 million bales, down 9.5% compared to 2020/21.
2020/2021 cotton ending stocks are pegged at 3.3 million bales and USDA estimates that the production increase and export decrease will lead to similar ending stock estimates for the 2021/22 marketing year at 3.1 million bales. For 2020/21, USDA estimates have the cotton stocks-to-use ratio sitting at 17.8% and the 2021/22 stocks-to-use ratio slightly higher at 18%. If the 2021/22 stocks-to-use ratio comes to fruition, it would sit about 27% lower than the five-year average, which is typically around 24.5%.
The decrease in stocks relieves a heavy weight that has been sitting on cotton prices for the past few years. For the 2020/2021 average marketing year price, USDA estimates cotton at 68 cents per pound, up 11 cents per pound from this time last year. For the 2021/22 marketing year, USDA expects the cotton price to reach 75 cents per pound, its highest price since 2013.
Figure 2 displays the U.S. exports for corn, soybeans, wheat and cotton since the 2018/19 marketing year, including the new 2021/2022 projections and the five-year average.
The May WASDE is the long-awaited first look at the upcoming marketing year for corn, soybeans, wheat and cotton. There is a lot of room for changes over the coming months. This May WASDE comes on the heels of massive export increases that helped boost prices for all four crops. Farmer planting decisions will not be updated until the June 30 acreage report, providing a better idea of supply expectations for the newest marketing year. Given the sharp increase in prices for corn and soybeans, changed planting intentions could result in revised supply expectations for the 2021/2022 marketing year early on. Additionally, demand changes like those that occurred late into calendar year 2020 could change the outlook of crop expectations finishing 2020/21 and heading into 2021/22.

The Klintoons, (yes, slick Willie and his shrew)  are becoming  increasingly embarrassing,
Is Hillary 'Mentally 'illary'?
Quite frankly, Hillary Clinton appears to be losing it. She is letting her hair down, literally and otherwise. Based on her behavior lately, the former first lady/current secretary of state is either trying to rehabilitate her stoic reputation, ecstatic that Bill's off supporting African farmers, or throwing caution to the wind and loosening up a bit.
Over the years, Hillary has said and done some pretty crazy things. Who can forget when Hillary, born in 1947, concocted the story that her late mother Dorothy named her after Mount Everest mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary, who became famous five years after the little Rodham was born?
Or how about when, recounting a 1996 trip to Bosnia, Mrs. Clinton "misspoke" when she apparently mistook receiving flowers from a little girl for running across the Tulza tarmac, dodging sniper fire?
Inserting her family into the 9/11 catastrophe, Hillary even claimed that Chelsea, who was home in bed at the time, was jogging around the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11, 2001. When she was seeking a Senate seat in New York State, Hillary shamelessly reached into her carpetbag and pulled out a "Die-hard Yankee Fan" baseball cap.
And we haven't even mentioned Huma Abedin, her lesbian girlfriend from the Muslim Brotherhood yet:
Mrs. Clinton blamed allegations of Bill's peccadilloes on a "vast right wing conspiracy"; she lifted "gifts" from the White House and called it a "clerical error"; she perceived herself to be instrumental in both the Irish peace process and the economic recovery of the 1990s; and she jokingly (but not really) credited the fall of Libya and death of Gaddafi to her visit. These are but a few examples of bizarre statements and behavior that until now appeared to be only for political purposes.
Recently, after ditching her signature scrunchie and casting off that banana clip, Hillary officially let her hair down. She's "come out of the closet," so to speak, in the party-girl sense of the word. Either that or the wheels started coming off Hillary's restraint bus back in April, when a photograph was circulated of "Hillz" submitting a text message on her Blackberry to the "Texts from Hillary" Tumblr blog while wearing a pair of sunglasses that would make Men in Black 3 star Will Smith proud.
Then, a few days later, in Cartagena, Colombia, while attending the Summit of the Americas that excluded Cuba, just past midnight with a party of 12 female aides, Condoleezza Rice's replacement was seen swilling a frosty "Aguila pilsner cerveza" out of the bottle and whooping it up to a Cuban beat on the dance floor of Café Havana. The only thing missing was a shot of Mrs. Clinton puffing on one of Bill's favorites, a Montecristo Especial No. 2.
After just barely living down the girls' night out, at the swearing-in ceremony of Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Michael Hammer, freewheeling party girl Hillary howled like she'd been hitting the Aguilas again. The secretary of state showed up to what's normally a routine, boring ritual wearing purple costume jewelry and green sunglasses.
With Russia sending attack helicopters to Syria, and with China, Syria, Iran, and Russia planning joint war games in the Middle East, clearly, the secretary of state was focused on an issue that far exceeds such trivia. Ribbing the purple-loving Hammer, Hillary said, "Mike, I was in a real dilemma. I have pantsuits in nearly every color — except purple."
Let's just say "thank the good Lord that Hammer isn't fond of 'Gap Blue.'" But wait! Hillary doesn't own a purple pantsuit? Well, why didn't she just borrow back her 1993 inaugural ball gown from the Smithsonian for the event? That was a lovely shade of purple.
Fashion-challenged for the occasion, Clinton told Hammer's purple-clothed family that she needed to be "appropriately attired … [and] … proceeded to put on purple Mardi Gras beads and what she called her 'piece de resistance,' wing-tipped purple and green sunglasses."
Hillary then looked at those in attendance, gave an "Oh… kay!" and cackled a tad, donned the sunglasses, and prepared to administer the oath of office. Turning to Mike Hammer, with a One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest-worthy, loud, and drawn-out "Hee hee hee ha ha ha," Hillary laughed like "she's mentally 'illary" before she said, "So! Repeat after me…"
The oath even included a dose of comic relief. Without mentioning Barack Obama and Eric Holder, Hillary asked Hammer to repeat the words: "I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic."
Looking like she just fell off a float on Bourbon Street, Clinton, with a straight face, then asked Mr. Hammer if he was taking the "obligation freely … [and] without any mental reservation[.]" Hammer said, "Yes," and the swearing-in was concluded with more cackling and hugs and kisses all around.
So while the nation spirals downward into an economic and social abyss, there are a few possibilities: Hillary Clinton has officially left the "mentally sound reservation," she has been hanging around too much with Nancy "Lost It Altogether" Pelosi, she has lost interest in convincing America she should be the one answering the White House phone at 3:00 am, she has ditched the estrogen patch, or she is finally revealing the lunatic side that for the last 20-something years she's tried in vain to conceal.

The SNiP-AWS5 is a 'Sensor Node Integrated Package' for LoRaWAN or CAT-M1 communication of real-time ambient temperature, humidity sensor, atmospheric pressure, wind direction and wind speed for continuous environmental monitoring.
The SNiP-AWS5+ package integrates 1x MFR-NODE, 1x AWS500, 1x SP-110 Solar Radiation Sensor, and 1x RIM-7499-STD Rain Gauge to a site's unique network, communication and power requirements.
The AWS500 measures air temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, wind direction and wind speed, with high precision, fast response time and configurable wind speed and direction sampling periods. The SP-110 Solar Radiation Sensor measures solar radiation from 360nm~1120nm; The RIM-7499-STD Rain Gauge measures rainfall, constructed for accuracy and long-term operation with minimal maintenance.
This SNiP also includes:
See Further Specifications on the MFR-NODE
See Further Specifications on the AWS500 Automatic Weather Station
See Further Specifications on the SP-110 Solar Radiation Sensor
See Further Specifications on the RIM-7499-STD Rain Gauge
The modular nature of ICT International SNiPs allows for SNiP-AWS5+ to be customised with alternative solar radiation or rainfall sensors. These or other further parameters can be added to the SNiP, without requiring loggers to match each distinct sensor, substantially reducing the cost of getting a fuller picture on the application.
The Multifunction Research Node has been designed to provide flexible communication, sensor and power options.
The MFR-NODE supports SDI-12 and 4 x dry contact digital inputs as well as optionally 2x differential / 4x single ended analogue inputs. The MFR-NODE supports sensors with higher power requirements; a solar panel can charge either the internal lithium-ion battery or both the node and sensor can be powered by an external 12V system (e.g. battery or mains source). Optional CAT-M1 provide an option for remote installation and in areas outside the range existing LoRaWAN networks. The optional multiconstellation GNSS ensures you won't lose track of your device. The MFR-NODE has an onboard 8GB SD Card to provide data logging capabilities and full data redundancy in the event of temporary loss of communications or dropped packets – ideal for research applications.
