SSH Summer School: port forwarding - ACA Blog This blog post is the second of a 3 part series about SSH (Secure Shell) connections with OpenSSH. You can check out the first post here. The aim of this blog post series is to teach you more about SSH, so I call it SSH Summer School (even though, yes, it's autumn now 🙂 ). In these blog posts, I assume you are using a UNIX-like operating system with OpenSSH. In this second part of the series, I'll talk about port forwarding. There are three types of SSH port forwarding: local, remote and dynamic. The first one makes a port on a remote server available on your local machine, the second does exactly the opposite and the third allows you to send 'all' your traffic through the SSH connection's remote server. Let's start by looking at local port forwarding. Have you ever wondered whether it's your application misbehaving or whether it's the reverse proxy in front of it? Or perhaps you would like to connect to the database from your local machine? With SSH LocalForward, you can forward connections from your local machine to the remote server. There are 3 methods to do this, but all 3 of them require the same parameters: local_bind_address: The address on your local machine to bind to. When omitted, SSH will bind to localhost by default. local_port: The local TCP port SSH should bind to. If you would like to use a privileged port, keep in mind that you will need super user permissions on the local machine. remote_host: The remote address to connect to. This can be localhost, to directly connect to the application, but this can also be a different system such as a remote database that can only be accessed from the application server. remote_port: The TCP port to connect to on the remote server. LocalForward methods -L [local_bind_address:]local_port:remote_host:remote_port Here's an example using the command line option: user@local-computer $ ssh my-remote-server -L 13306:192.168.5.20:3306 In this example we connect to my-remote-server and forward the local machine's port 13306 to a database server's port 3306 which we can (only) reach from my-remote-server. LocalForward [local_bind_address:]local_port:remote_host:remote_port If you would like to add this to your team's SSH config as described in part 1 of this series, keep in mind that your colleagues might already be using the local port for something else. You should therefore add it to the private config directory. The SSH command line. We will get into the details of the SSH command line later on in this post. It is also possible to do the opposite of LocalForward: with RemoteForward, you can forward a TCP port on the remote server to the TCP port of an application running on your local machine. There are 3 methods to do this as well, but just like LocalForward, all 3 of them require the same parameters: remote_bind_address: The address on the remote server to bind to. When omitted, SSH will bind to localhost by default. remote_port: The remote TCP port SSH should bind to. If you would like to use a privileged port, keep in mind that you will need super user permissions on the remote server. local_host: The local address to connect to. This can be localhost, to directly connect to a local application, but this can also be a different system such as a database that can only be accessed from your local machine. local_port: The TCP port to connect to on your local machine. RemoteForward methods -R [remote_bind_address:]remote_port:local_host:local_port RemoteForward [remote_bind_address:]remote_port:local_host:local_port Same warning as before: if you would like to add this to your team's SSH config as described in part 1 of this series, keep in mind that your colleagues might already be using the local port for something else! Add it to the private config directory. The SSH command line. Like I said before, we'll get into the details of the SSH command line later on in this post. DynamicForward, like LocalForward, allows you to reach a remote server, but instead of directly connecting to a single remote port, it is tunnelling all your TCP traffic through the remote server. By using DynamicForward, the remote server will act as a SOCKS proxy. This allows the client to use it as its gateway to all (TCP) resources available to the remote server, similar to a VPN connection. There are 3 methods to set this up, all 3 of them require the same parameters: bind_address:The address on your local machine to bind to. When omitted, SSH will bind to all available interfaces by default. port: The port to expose the SOCKS proxy on. DynamicForward methods DynamicForward [bind_address:]port The SSH command line. We'll get into the details of the SSH command line below. Unlike LocalForward and RemoteForward, you aren't done just yet. You still need to configure your local machine to use this SOCKS proxy. I won't go into the details of configuring your local machine, but you can configure it to use this proxy for all of its connections. Alternatively, you can configure a web browser with SOCKS proxy support, such as Mozilla Firefox, to use it. Both methods have their advantages, but personally I only use it in combination with Firefox. This way I can have a 'local' browser and Firefox as a 'remote' browser. Port forwarding through the SSH command line In case you forgot to setup port forwarding and don't want to start another SSH session or restart your current SSH session, you can also enable port forwarding using the SSH command line. The SSH command line can be opened by issuing the ~C escape sequence. user@local-computer $ ssh remoteserveruser@my-remote-server [remoteserveruser@my-remote-server ~]$ ~C ssh> -L13306:localhost:3306 Forwarding port. [remoteserveruser@my-remote-server ~]$ [remoteserveruser@my-remote-server ~]$ ~C ssh> -L13306:localhost:3306 I have added the ~C in the example just for demonstration purposes. Typically when issuing the escape sequence, its characters aren't displayed. You can also use the SSH command line to cancel forwarding a port: ssh> -KL13306 Canceled forwarding. [remoteserveruser@my-remote-server ~]$ ssh> -KL13306 I used LocalForward in the examples above, but this also works with RemoteForward and DynamicForward. Tip: remembering the ~C escape sequence should be enough, once you are on the SSH command line, you can use the ? command to get a list of available commands. [remoteserveruser@my-remote-server ~]$ ~C ssh> ? Commands: -L[bind_address:]port:host:hostport Request local forward -R[bind_address:]port:host:hostport Request remote forward -D[bind_address:]port Request dynamic forward -KL[bind_address:]port Cancel local forward -KR[bind_address:]port Cancel remote forward -KD[bind_address:]port Cancel dynamic forward Some other handy escape sequences The C escape sequence is, of course, not the only handy escape sequence there is. Here are a couple others you might find useful. Ever had an SSH session lock up? You can terminate it with the ~. escape sequence. Having trouble with your SSH session and forgot to setup verbose logging? Or maybe you did, but made it too verbose? With the ~v and ~V escape sequences, you can increase or decrease verbosity. A full list of escape sequences can be retrieved by issuing the ~? escape sequence. [remoteserveruser@my-remote-server ~]$ ~? Supported escape sequences: ~. - terminate connection (and any multiplexed sessions) ~B - send a BREAK to the remote system ~C - open a command line ~R - request rekey ~V/v - decrease/increase verbosity (LogLevel) ~^Z - suspend ssh ~# - list forwarded connections ~& - background ssh (when waiting for connections to terminate) ~? - this message ~~ - send the escape character by typing it twice (Note that escapes are only recognized immediately after newline.) [remoteserveruser@my-remote-server ~]$ [remoteserveruser@my-remote-server ~]$ ~? That's it for SSH port forwarding! If you have any questions or remarks, leave them below as a comment and I'll answer them asap or address them in a future blog post. See you soon for part 3!

I usually immediately create a random new google play account; but since my Android setup is pretty stable with a few hundred well-chosen all-free apps, I haven't the need to add apps anymore (AFAIK): http://i.cubeupload.com/tpnhFo.gif So, since it was time for the end of the month switcheroo to a new Google Play account, I simply deleted the old Google Play account, and left it that way (i.e., I have no Google Account on my Android device right now): Given I have always gotten my Google mail through a *different* account, and that I use the K9-Mail App and not the Gmail App, and given that I only have freeware on my mobile devices (since there is nothing I ever needed that is worth paying for), I wonder if I can stay this way indefinitely?

In fact, I don't even bother to write down the random new password, since it's only used once, at the time of creation.

The second problem was that F-Droid didn't download *anything* but then I realized I had turned on the option to always use Tor, but I didn't know I had to actually have Tor running (it apparently won't start Tor on its own). So I turned that off and F-droid worked immediately thereafter. (My mistake for changing the defaults.)

They're nothing like Google Play in that they're not flashy. But their apps are KISS functional, and don't ask for unneeded permissions.

The Mike Henderson Band "If You Think It's Hot Here…." | JAZZ IN JAPAN The Mike Henderson Band "If You Think It's Hot Here…."•, Blues, CD Reviews(EllerSoul Records 2015) Mike Henderson —lead vocals, guitar & harmonica Kevin McKendree —piano and B3 Michael Rhodes —bass Pat O'Connor —drums Additional musicians on "If You Think Its Hot Here": Don Underwood —guitar Chris Stapleton —background vocals Morgane Stapleton —background vocals The back cover of Mike Henderson's excellent new blues CD is taken up with a photo of a 1959 Fender Bassman guitar amp. For non-gearheads, it should be explained that amp is famed for its gutsy, two-fisted sound. If pure blues actually exists as a category, this CD would fit. If I were only the Fender Bassman sound, it would be enough, but Henderson knows how to work that amp into a full-on guitar tone. The amp's tubes must be glowing red and sweating hard. The raw passion and blunt feel of the blues here is potent and real. The band is made up of session musicians who know what they like and play it. The four members here make a perfect line-up, guitar, bass, piano, drums—the vital essence with no frills. That sound, and the feel, groove and honesty, harkens back to early Chess recordings. All four musicians are on target all through. Rhodes on bass pops up, in and around all the tunes, setting the groove, but mixing it up, too. McKendree fills out the sound on Hammond B3 and piano, but deepens it and moves it, too. O'Connor on drums sets the rhythmic variety that makes the CD an overview of blues possibilities, of sorts, but an integrated and potent one. Together, the band cooks hard. Henderson's slide guitar playing is inventive without showiness. He plays mean, rough riffs that pump out of the speakers with a live sound. He cuts solos all over the fret board, sanding them down just right. On "Mean Red Spider," a Muddy Waters' tune, he lays into the riff by dropping to the lowest strings, then leaping up for just the right notes. He doesn't need many to get his point across. On Robert Johnson's "If I Had Possession" he lets his chops work themselves out, but always with restraint and direction. The rollicking, traditional "Matchbox" is blues as blues should be. "Send You Back to Georgia" will stick in your head, keeping your body grooving even after it's over.

Posts 3,739 SES Subplate reviews Posts 3,739 Zoltan: I would expect to find the two Bomber mounts to behave more similarly than the Donek mounts, due to the materials. But I'm no MechE so my expectations may be wrong. Regarding Coilers: yeah, if you want to ride a 4x4 plate, ask for wider inserts. The narrow axle spacing imposed by combining a Donek 4x4 w/ a standard Coiler insert pattern makes for a funky ride. I believe I heard Sean directly sau he's going to solve this next year - hint, in a similar way that Bomber's 4x4 mount does (look at the pics, it's obvious ) Posts 3,739 Same here, pokkis. I threw out the results from the case where I mounted 4x4 on a Coiler that didn't allow for wide enough axle spacing. Posts 3,739 Zoltan, not making any guesses there. You can probably figure it out with a little help from the folks @ Bomber. -Measure the distance between your widest set of inserts

With an extensive wardrobe With some of the most sought after luxury labels, Poonawalla has emerged as the one High priestess the luxury fashion. Whatever the occasion – be it a day at the races or a grand Indian wedding, you can count on Poonawalla to look like she's stepped off the pages of a magazine. If you've scrolled through her Instagram account, you've probably stumbled upon the hashtag #MoreIsMore. On one occasion, Poonawalla went a step further and titled her photo, "More is more … less is boring!" – a feeling that perhaps best reflects her style as a wedding guest. With a calendar that spans everything from destination weddings to exclusive cocktail parties, Poonawalla is sure to have a wardrobe to match. With her selection of statement lehengas, embellished saris and bespoke cocktail dresses and gowns, her wardrobe is suitable for celebrations of all shapes and sizes. Clear Manish Malhotra is a favorite for the lady – she wore ensembles of the designer for most of her pre-pandemic appearances. Aside from him, her enviable Indian clothing includes labels like Sabyasachi, Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla, and Shantanu & Nikhil to name a few. As a regular at Bollywood's most memorable weddings, Poonawalla faces her lehengas, especially in white and pastel shades. At the Akash and Shloka Ambani's engagement, it was an all white decorated Shantanu & Nikhil Lehenga with a pure Dupatta that won her vote. At another wedding in Vienna it was ivory from head to toe – a high-gloss lehenga set with flower applications, feather details and a matching bag.

Eagles vs. wind farms: Osage Nation wins round | Wind Energy News filed: September 2, 2013 • Oklahoma Credit: By JARREL WADE World Staff Writer | Tulsa World | September 2, 2013 | www.tulsaworld.com ~~ PAWHUSKA – The Osage Nation appears to have struck a blow in a fight against a wind farm ready for construction in Osage County. Arguing that the wind farm could kill eagles that nest nearby – an important bird to the Osage culture as well as American culture – the wind farm construction has been temporarily set back. "The project continues to work closely with local officials on required authorizations and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on the voluntary Eagle Take Permit and looks forward to providing clean renewable energy to the American people in the coming year," according to a statement from Wind Capital Group. However, the Osage Nation, which has longstanding interests in oil and gas in the area, is now pushing for full archaeological research in the wind farm's acreage, saying the area is some of the densest in all of Oklahoma for culturally significant tribal sites such as camp sites and burials. Jerry Thompson, the service's chief of the Southwest Region Migratory Birds Permits office, is in charge of issuing the bald eagle incidental kill permit requested by Wind Capitol Group. "It's just the regular process we go through but yes, it's been slower than what we normally go through," Thompson said. While the Osage Nation argues the tribe has not been consulted and the area's cultural significance has not been thoroughly surveyed, Thompson said the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is still steadily working through its process. "We're meeting with the wind company and the Osage to work this out," Thompson said. One study, conducted as part of the eagle-kill permit process, found 60 sites within the wind farm's acreage that had pre-contact tribal significance and recommended that four of those may be eligible being added to the National Register of Historical Places. "We had buffalo trails that came right straight down into this area," BigHorse said. "Twice a year they would come from the St. Louis area into the plains." BigHorse maintains the tribe is not opposed to wind energy, adding that with the Osage Nation is in the beginning phases of "going green" at its Pawhuska tribal complex, an upgrade that includes turbines.

Amid euro-zone inflation, Munich mayor Christian Ude tapped the keg in Munich Saturday at 12 p.m. local time, marking the beginning of the 178th annual beer festival that lasts 17 days. The Wall Street Journal reports that Oktoberfest inflation, measured by the cost of transportation, a liter of beer and half a grilled chicken, is expected to rise 3.3 percent from 2010. The rising cost is above the European Central Bank’s 2 percent target for euro-zone inflation, according to UniCredit economist Alexander Koch. LOUAI BESHARA/AFP/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) -- As a furious volley of firepower hit the streets of Aleppo, Syria, Tuesday, the country’s former prime minister spoke out for the first time since his defection. “The regime is spiritually, financially and militarily cracked,” ex-Prime Minister Riyad Hijab said. “And it only controls 30 percent of Syrian lands.” Although the State Department did not confirm the 30 percent, its spokeswoman Tuesday agreed with Hijab’s assessment that the regime is weakening. “As we’ve been saying for a number of weeks now, we do believe that the opposition is gaining control of more and more territory,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Tuesday. “I can’t speak to the precise number that the former prime minister cited.” On Tuesday, Assad’s forces appeared to move street to street, leaving the dead and wounded in their path -- even as the cracks seemed to grow despite beneath the show of force. While the U.S. has been providing humanitarian aid and non-lethal help, the country is no closer to providing what the rebels desperately want -- help in stopping the regime’s attacks from the air. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Tuesday that the U.S. was not interested in establishing a no-fly zone over the skies of Syria as it did to effectively topple Libya’s Moammar Khadafi. It would be a dangerous mission. Syria has 20 times the number of surface-to-air missiles that Libya did -- 4,707 to 216. Syria has far more combat aircraft than Libya -- 555 to 394 -- and its pilots are far more capable. In addition, the Syrian population is three times that of Libya’s -- 22.5 million to 6.5 million. “This is a country that we, as a United States is war-weary,” said retired Gen. James Cartwright, an ABC News consultant. “We have fiscal challenges of our own and to get in the middle of a civil war. … I just don’t see it happening.” Win McNamee/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) -- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she hopes the new North Korean leadership will move the country on a path to peace, but she offered no condolences on the death of longtime dictator Kim Jong Il. “We didn’t consider it appropriate in this case,” Clinton’s spokeswoman Victoria Nuland explained Tuesday. Kim’s death came as the United States was preparing to resume food aid to North Korea. Though officials insist the issues are separate, they say they hope the aid will eventually lead to a resumption of negotiations regarding North Korea’s nuclear weapons. Nuland said Tuesday that it is unlikely the United States would resume food aid to North Korea before next year. The State Department says it still has concerns about monitoring the distribution of the aid and, given the weeks-long mourning period in North Korea following Kim’s death, they believe it’s unlikely those issues will be resolved before the end of the year. U.S. officials were in touch with North Korean officials Monday at the United Nations, through what’s called the New York channel, to inform them that there is no deal yet on food aid, Nuland said, but she did not know whether there was any mention of Kim’s death during that communication. US Dept of State(WASHINGTON) -- At Wednesday’s State Department briefing, spokesperson Victoria Nuland continued the tough words for Russia and China following their U.N. Security Council vetoes against a resolution calling for an end to the violence in Syria. After the vote Tuesday night, Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the U.N., had stern language about the vetoes. “The United States is outraged that this council has utterly failed to address an urgent moral challenge and a growing threat to regional peace and security,” Rice said. “Today the courageous people of Syria can now see who on this council supports their yearning for liberty and universal human rights and who does not.” At Wednesday’s briefing Nuland echoed those comments, saying the Security Council “failed yesterday” in addressing the “urgent moral challenge” in Syria. She indicated that Secretary of State Clinton would say about Russia and China that “countries have to take responsibility for the decision that they made [Tuesday], and any implications it might have on the ground in Syria.” Nuland emphasized that the Syrian opposition was “let down” by this vote, and that the U.S. plans to continue to pressure President Assad to step down. Nuland acknowledged that the resolution voted on had been watered down too much for the U.S.’s liking, saying, “It didn't even include the teeth, the sanctions -- and even that proved to be too much. So that was extremely disappointing.” As for Senator Lieberman’s calls for safe zones to be set up inside Syria, Nuland said that Syrian opposition leaders have said that they don’t want a foreign intervention. Stockbyte/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) -- State Department spokesperson Victorial Nuland said Monday that the U.S. sees a number of "inconsistencies" in reports that the Syrian navy has taken part in the shelling of the port city of Latakia. "There are some inconsistencies in -- about -- with regard to what Syria actually has," she told reporters. Nuland declined to elaborate on what those discrepancies may be, but only added that the U.S. hasn't seen the firing from the sea itself. A State Department official, speaking on background, says that the U.S. doesn't believe the Syrian gunboats have the capability to shell the town like reports indicate, hence Nuland's hesitation. "We have been unable to confirm, actually, the use of naval assets. However, we are able to confirm that there is armor in the city, and that there is firing on innocents again in the pattern of carnage that you have seen in other places. So we are concerned," she said, describing the violence there and in other parts of Syria as "carnage." Nuland tried to defend the Obama administration's efforts to halt the Assad regime's crackdown, which have consisted thus far of unilateral sanctions and slowly harsher condemnation of the violence. "So far they do not appear to be listening. But we do believe that there is more that can be done. As the secretary said on Thursday, there are countries out there that are still trading oil and gas with Syria. There are countries out there that have not renounced their willingness to send arms to Syria. So we are working to strengthen that coalition and continue to ensure that the message from the international community has teeth," she said. Turkey on Monday gave Syrian President Bashar Assad an ultimatum to reform or else -- a follow-up on a visit to Damascus by the Turkish foreign minister last week. The Obama administration is still planning to call on Assad to step down should the attacks continue, and is hoping to coordinate this with other countries like Turkey. Turkey and others had asked the U.S. to hold off in order for their diplomatic efforts to bear fruit, but Monday's Turkish announcement is a sign they're preparing to take the next step as well. A U.S. official tells ABC News a new executive order has been prepared in order to hit Assad with more sanctions in coordination with the declaration that would come from the president. Stockbyte/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) -- The State Department Thursday said that some 30,000 Syrians are in detention, “in some cases, in absolutely repulsive, disgusting conditions.” Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters that witnesses who have been inside the prisons report that some prisoners are being kept in cages and in the courtyards of prisons and in schools. Asked about recent comments from Syrian President Bashar Assad that suggested some regret for his regime’s response to the protests, Nuland said, “We are looking for action. We are not looking for words; we're not looking for promises. We're looking for the violence to end, for the forces to go back to barracks and for a real democratic transition to start.” Also, Ambassador Robert Ford met in Damascus Thursday with the Syrian foreign minister at the American’s request. “He made clear, as we have publicly, repeatedly, that Syria is going to face increasing pressure if the silence doesn't end, including more economic sanctions from the U.S., and we hope, from others; that empty rhetoric isn't going to suffice. He challenged the regime's lip service about enacting reform, and he called for free and open access for the media and also for strict compliance with Vienna Convention obligations to protect diplomatic personnel,” Nuland said. “You also won't be surprised that the response from Foreign Minister Muallem was just as defiant and just as unconvincing as President Assad has been in the last couple of days,” she added. Nuland said Ambassador Ford is planning more travel outside Damascus, but wouldn’t say where or when. ... folk clubs, concerts, gigs, festivals, sheet music, musicians, equipment, CDs, folk, instruments ...

In an attempt to reduce the cost, existing equipment was used where possible in place of the expensive recommended equipment. The FF was assembled and then commissioned in accordance with the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Task Group recommendations TG56 [1]. 2. Physical dimensions: Compared to the manufacturer’s specifications, the buttons warped the FF slightly when pushed tight against the FF. This effect was deemed clinically insignificant in terms of source position accuracy as long as the catheter tips are reconstructed according to the internal CT markers and not the FF balls. 4. Autoradiograph: The CT markers for the 294mm ProGuide needles resulted in a reference length of 288mm compared to the recommended X-ray markers at 287.5mm. Successful delivery of the treatment plan placing the source at the most distal dwell position in all channels confirmed the absence of any obstructions and confirmed that the source position matched the position of the CT marker. By using existing equipment in place of the recommended items for the FF as outlined in Table 1, we were able to save 75% off the purchase price which equated to almost $35,000 (AUD) savings. The FF was successfully commissioned in terms of setup and functionality. Planning techniques were established to ensure accurate treatment delivery.

This part of the Dolce and Gabbana headquarters houses the previous season's collections of both women's and men's. Some interesting pieces from last season included the Dolce & Gabbana bicycle and the heavily hand embroidered dresses. The dresses were completely hand-made in Sicily and are comparable to haute couture. The showrooms are quite immaculate and the white interior compliments the pieces of clothing.

KUK-SOOL Kuk · Sool ( Traditional Korean Martial Arts ) The three branches of traditional Korean martial arts: Sah Doh Mu Sool, Koong Joong Mu Sool, and Bull Gyo Mu Sool, known as Kuk Sool in 1958 by In Hyuk Suh, the founder and Grandmaster of Kuk Sool Won™. Kuk Sool Won™ has been actively promoted worldwide by the World Kuk Sool Association, Inc. and it is also recognized in the martial arts community as one of the most effective and comprehensive systems of traditional Korean martial arts in existence today. Kuk·Sool has countless techniques purportedly taken from the three branches of historical Korean martial arts: Sah Doh Mu Sool, Koong Joong Mu Sool, and Bull Gyo Mu Sool. But the joint-locks and other grappling aspects are identical to those found in Hapkido, which is historically proven to be drawn from a Japanese art known as Daito Ryu Aiki-Jujitsu, while the forms of patterned movements and palm-striking can be linked to a Chinese art known as Tang Lang Chuan (i.e. praying mantis kung-fu). However, the curriculum does have a unique structure that successfully combines all of these elements, along with some things and training methods which are of Korean origin, and is designed to take a practitioner in a logical progression from the beginning all the way up to Master level. All of these various components, whether derived from the aforementioned historical Korean martial arts or not, were brought together and organized to form a single system in the late 1950's to early 1960's, by many masters with diverse backgrounds. Unfortunately, this collaborative effort was short-lived and all the people involved eventually went their separate ways. However, at least 3 of the leading masters, namely, Woo-Tak Kim, In-Hyuk Suh, and Joo-Bang Lee, continued their pursuits individually and are responsible for the formation of the following martial art systems (in respective order): Kuk Sool Kwan, Kuk Sool Won, and Hwa Rang Do. In the last 50 years, perhaps the most prominent exponent active in promoting the martial art of Kuk Sool (under that name), has been In-Hyuk Suh along with his oganization, the World Kuk Sool Association, Inc. But there are many other institutions not affiliated with him or his organization which have also helped acknowledge the remarkableness of Kuk·Sool and thus it is often recognized in the martial arts community as one of the most effective and comprehensive traditional Korean martial arts in existence today.

Sri Lanka warned on debt default bombshells by expert in Argentina, Greece crises | EconomyNext Sri Lanka warned on debt default bombshells by expert in Argentina, Greece crises Wednesday October 6, 2021 9:05 am TEQUILA EFFECT: An outflow-sterilizing Latin America style central bank can trigger a debt crisis despite exceptional budgets. Unless CBs are fixed debt and currency problems will return. ECONOMYNEXT – Debt restructuring can be a painful exercise fraught with risks to politicians but delays and actual default can lead to worse outcomes, an international expert involved in repeated Latin America defaults and a Greek debt crisis, said in a Sri Lanka forum. Debt re-structuring requires extensive negotiation with a range of private and official creditors, needing a commitment to domestic budget cuts to balance losses imposed on bond holders and creditors, and make it possible to repay later debt, Lee Buchheit, a legal expert who had mostly worked for debtor nations said. A re-structuring deal can be worked out in as short a period as one year, but can drag on for years if no agreement is reached which can worsen the economic fallout, Buchheit, told an online forum organized by Echelon, a Colombo-based financial magazine. Politicians typically dislike debt restructuring as they involved tax hikes spending reform, and try to delay them hoping something will happen to change the trajectory, he said. Buchheit is a 40 year veteran at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, a US-based law firm, who retired in 2019, and has served as Adjunct Professor or visiting lecturer including at law schools of Columbia, Harvard and Yale. Buchheit first began working on Latin America defaults in the early 1980s, when the US Federal Reserve raised rates and Latin American soft-pegged exchange rates began to collapse. In the summer of 1982 Mexico had said it needed a moratorium on its external debt payments. Fed Hikes and Prebisch-Triffin Banks Many Latin American nations had borrowed from mainly US banks in 1970s on floating rates, Buchheit said. The US dollar collapsed against gold in 1971 due to output gap targeting (Keynesian stimulus) by then Fed Chief Arthur burns. The collapsing US dollar fired bubbles in energy, food, base and precious metals contributing to a boom in commodity exporters, including Latin America. As a result, in the 1970s US banks were flushed with so-called 'Petro dollars' re-invested by Gulf Corporation Council oil exporters, which had stable currency-board-like British designed pegs which could not sterilize the balance of payments for counter-cyclical policy. "At the end of the 1970s, the then chairman of the Federal Reserve Paul Volcker in an effort to deal with inflation in the United States raised US interest rates very high to the point that by 1981 Libor got to be 22 percent per annum," Buchheit said. "Mexico was the first that my former law firm represented. As 1982 and 1983 went on, some two dozen countries went through the same process." Argentina sought International Monetary Fund support in 1983 as it was also hit by forex trouble. The IMF typically asked central banks to raise rates to limit money printing, float to make reserve money inconvertible and makes sure the agency is kept to a monetary program. Taxes are also raised to reduce the budget deficit or expand a surplus to keep the corrective interest rate down. Rates tend to shoot up as confidence is lost in the currency and domestic bonds. Buchheit says foreign lenders usually prefer to have an IMF program as they themselves lack knowledge of economic problems and also have no capacity to make the necessary adjustments. If the currency collapse is very steep, however there is a sharp output and consumption collapse, governments change and IMF programs are then jettisoned, analysts say. Argentina was the original Latin American counter cyclical central bank set up under Keynesian principles by its founder Raul Prebisch in 1935. Prebisch later worked at the Mexico central bank after he was fired by President Juan Perón. Prebisch, along with US Fed's Latin America chief Robert Triffin and his 'money doctors' set up disastrous counter-cyclical sterilizing central banks across Latin America with swiftly collapsing pegs. Constitutions of some stable gold standard central banks set up in the 1920s were also tinkered to be able to print money, and finance government programs in the 1930s and 1940s as Keynesianism spread like a new religion. Almost all swiftly went off the gold standard. Counter-cyclical Latin American central banks which were pegged to the US did not raise rates in tandem with the Fed, unlike the GCC and East Asian ones, and tried to continue a boom fired when US rates were low, triggering currency collapses regardless of whether the fiscal situation was good or bad. Argentina is the poster child for currency collapse and external default. The central bank regularly strikes zeroes off the currency. As the soft-peg shattered in 1983 a new Peso Argentino was introduced at the rate of 1 for every 10,000 old units. A bailout worked for a time as US interest also fell. In 1985, a new currency, Austral was created replacing one for 1,000 Argentino peso, as Volcker raised policy rates to 11 percent in the next credit cycle. In 1986 Argentina defaulted again. Argentina and many Latin American countries had been borrowing abroad for almost two centuries and had generally open capital accounts. However with the setting up of Triffin Prebisch central banks, forex controls, parallel exchange rates, high inflation and social unrest proliferated. Import substitution was pioneered in the area. Argentina first defaulted in 1827, soon after Bank of England started to raise rates in 1825 to slow credit and stop a balance of payments deficit (run on gold reserves). The Bank of England had just restored gold convertibility in 1821. Gold standard central banks do not print money (sterilize interventions) against the BOP but raises rates like currency boards, when domestic credit picks and there are gold outflows. Latin American central banks sell dollars to defend a peg and then sterilize the interventions to maintain the policy rates through the purchase of domestic securities injecting more money (sterilized forex sales) until reserves run out, and then devalue sharply. The IMF usually supports devaluation, hoping that it will boost exports, but repeated devaluations in Latin America had failed to boost exports and exchange controls discouraged foreign investment. Instead, social unrest, out migration and resort to prostitution by sections of the female workforce to buy food was the usual outcome of Keynesian stimulus and devaluation. Export powerhouses including Japan, Germany, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan did the exact opposite monetary policy. Analysts say the archetypal 'Latin America clause' was put in to Sri Lanka's Monetary Law through its section 90 (1) which enable the agency to create currency crises even without deficit spending or direct government finance by the central bank. In the 1980s as Sri Lanka's rupee also devalued or was pre-emptively depreciated in Latin America style 'tablito' moves without commercial debt to defautl, triggering high inflation, social unrest and migration to GCC countries with stable pegs was seen. In the 1990s bonds replaced banks loans to Latin America. "In the 1990s commercial banks left the process and were replaced by bond holders," Buchheit said. "In this century the sovereign debt crises to the extent they involved commercial lenders have almost all been bond re-structuring." In 1994, the US Fed started to raise rates. Mexico had fixed its budgets but had failed to seriously reform its central bank. Instead of raising rates Mexico issued tesobonos dollar debt. Amid some domestic political turmoil Mexico central bank went into a into a currency crisis as outflows were sterilized and the credibility of the peg was lost. In December 1994 the Mexican pesos devalued as the Fed continued to raise rates. Mexico had an overall budget surplus of 1.6 percent of GDP in 1992, 0.7 percent in 1993 and had a balanced budget in 1994. The primary surplus was 3.9 percent of GDP in 1993 and 2.6 percent in 1994. An IMF program was designed with a 5.0 percent of surplus budget and 3.4 percent primary surplus for 1995. In 2017 the Fed started to raise rates and continued to raise rates through 2018. Argentina went into a currency crisis 2018. Sri Lanka also cut rates and injected liquidity and went to a crisis. Greece went into a debt crisis after the Bernanke-Greenspan bubble burst following Fed rate hikes up to 2007. Greece however had serious budget problems like Sri Lanka mainly involving civil service salaries and pensions. Greece defaulted on what was essentially local currency debt as it was in a monetary union and the ECB would not usually finance the government directly. However the ECB bought bonds as part of the bailout package. A debt restructuring may involve term extensions to the principle (debt-reprofiling) were new longer term bonds are issued, or reductions to the principle (hair cuts) or rates (coupons). "The legal aspect is relatively small," Buchheit said. "There is an enormous political aspect to it both internationally and domestically in the debtor country and in all candor, a great deal of theatre." Analysts say the theatrics rise dramatically when civil service is involved with the anti state-austerity brigade firing on all cylinders. It was exemplified by Greece, whose politicians were unwilling to cut salaries. Euro area countries which were bailing out Greece pointed out that their civil services did not get the benefits that Greek had even after budget cuts. In Sri Lanka under IMF led 'revenue based fiscal consolidation' civil service salaries and pensions were ratcheted up with taxes raised to a 'magic number' revenue to GDP ratio. The program involving 'flexible' inflation targeting, triggering currency crises forcing debt to be repaid with more debt like Mexico's tesobonos rather than current inflows appropriated through higher rates. Sri Lanka's policy errors were radically worsened by Keynesian fiscal and monetary stimulus from December 2019. In a devaluation salaries are cut automatically of both state workers, private workers and the real savings of savers especially the aged and the weak. But if the currency does not devalue it is impossible for a government and Keynesians to inflict pain on private wage earners and bank savings accounts through depreciation forcing budget cuts.

Dave Brat on Min. Wage: "Don't Have Well-Crafted Response on That' GOP Candidate Brat on Min. Wage: 'I Don't Have a Well-Crafted Response on That' Dave Brat on Min. Wage: 'I Don't Have a Well-Crafted Response on That' By Evan McMurryJun 11th, 2014, 9:55 am Dave Brat, chair of the Economics Department at Randolph-Macon College and the challenger who just unseated House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in a stunning primary upset, appeared on MSNBC's The Daily Rundown and appeared caught off guard when host Chuck Todd asked him a handful of policy questions about the minimum wage, arming Syrian rebels, and more. When Todd pressed him on whether there should be a minimum wage at all, Brat said, "I don't have a well-crafted response on that one. All I know is if you take the long run graph over two hundred years of wage rate, it cannot differ from your nation's productivity, right? So you can't make up wage rates. I would love for everyone in sub-Saharan Africa, for example, children of god, to make $100 an hour. I would love to just assert that that owuld be the case. But you can't assert that unless you raise the productivity." "Sounds like you're making a case against a federally mandated minimum wage," Todd said. "I'm just making the case I just made," Brat replied. Todd then asked Brat's position on arming Syrian rebels. "Hey, Chuck, I thought we were just going to chat today about the celebratory aspect," Brat replied. "My mind today is just…I love all the policy questions. I'm happy to do them more. But I just wanted to thank everybody for the victory." "So no answer?" Todd said. "On national security, do you consider yourself an interventionist or an isolationist?" "I think the press is in the habit of doing juxtapositions like that that don't capture reality well," Brat said. "I'm a PhD in economics, so you analyze every situation uniquely, because every international situation is unique. So I don't have a pattern that fits every incidence. But I think it's absolutely necessary that the U.S. does project its power abroad." "I know you're coach of your debate team at Randolph-Macon, or have been," Todd concluded. "So I figured you wouldn't mind a few extra policy questions."

Planning is the most difficult part of the game of chess. It is everywhere - we use it from the opening to the ending. A plan is based on evaluation and that evaluation is based on the different static and dynamic elements of the position. But what the chess books don�t describe is the direction of the plan. The aim of every plan is the exploitation of weakness! So, spot the weakness, fix it and then just attack it. There are different kinds of plans - typical plans, based on the structures and analogical plans, based on similar constellations of the pieces on the board. The subject is really big, but the author wanted to show examples of how to construct plans in positions with pawn majorities on the flanks and to teach you how to exploit this element properly.

Featured Travel Information Services Projects Vehicle Probe Data CollectionVPP Suite Trend MapsInformation Systems Network (ISN)The I-95 Vehicle Probe Project is a groundbreaking initiative providing comprehensive and continuous travel time information on freeways and arterials using probe technology. July 1, 2011 marked the start of the fourth year (Coalition Project Year 19) that Vehicle Probe Project (VPP) data is being provided to our members. There are now 7,000 centerline freeway miles, more than 20,000 freeway and arterial miles in all, including continuous coverage of the I-95 corridor from New Jersey through Florida. Coverage also exists in Rhode Island. The network includes full coverage of freeways and major arterials in North Carolina and the Tidewater area of Virginia, full or nearly full coverage of limited access roads in New Jersey, Maryland and South Carolina and the northern and eastern portions of Florida. In addition, coverage now includes ramps at 160 major highway-to-highway interchanges, with all states having interchanges included except Georgia. Numerous Uses for the Data – I-95 Corridor Coalition member agencies have found many uses for the vehicle probe data, including: Travel Information for 511 (web and phone) Systems, Dynamic Message Signs, and Kiosks Travel Time Calculations for Message Boards Performance Measures and Travel Time Reliability Support Traffic Pattern Observations (in-state and multi-state) View Vehicle Probe Project Documents (see Highlights Tab)Interactive Trends Maps Presentation (PDF)ISN will support sharing of real-time information between existing systems in the Corridor. There are many different information and data sharing systems that exist in the Corridor; and each has a specific geographic boundary. The ISN will allow agencies to share current transportation event and condition information they have in their own systems with other agencies that have traffic management centers, traveler information systems, or regional information systems in either adjacent states or other, more distant locations. The primary goal of the ISN is to allow all participating agencies to better manage and operate the transportation system in their own jurisdiction by the information available through the ISN from their counterparts in other areas – it may become part of their traffic and congestion management strategies or could be fed to traveler information systems.

Iron Deficient, do I have to take drugs too? - Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board Iron Deficient, do I have to take drugs too? Joined: Thu Aug 11, 2005 9:25 pm Post by lyric » Thu Aug 11, 2005 9:30 pm I have been tested with a ferritin level of 6, but I have all the energy I've always had! Shouldn't I be exhausted all the time? I thought, when I was tired during the day, that it was just from the RLS. I'm not anemic because my hemoglobin levels are fine. My doc prescribed Miropex, but I'm wondering if I could just take Iron suppliments and that would be enough to help the RLS. Anyone had this experience? I don't want to start a drug if I don't have to! Post by ViewsAskew » Thu Aug 11, 2005 10:22 pm Ferritin is your iron stores, not the iron in your blood (that's what the hemoglobin tests). Low iron is your blood is what makes you tired. Mine was 8 at the lowest and I felt fine. Yes, yes, yes! Take iron! About 20% of people with low ferritin levels have complete remission of RLS when they get their ferritin to 50 or higher. Another 40% have a reduction in symptoms. Of course, that leaves 40% that it doesn't help at all, but it's worth trying. Must have it checked periodically, though. 325 mg iron sulfate (can't remember how much actual iron that it, but it's the standard dose OTC) 3X a day, preferably with some vitamin C and on an empty stomach. If you can't handle it, eat it with food. You will get constipated. . .lots of fiber or fiber supplements required. Post by Heronak » Thu Aug 11, 2005 11:57 pm I also had a very low ferritin level and tried taking iron supplements to take care of the RLS. No luck, I'm now on Mirapex and doing well at the moment. Give the iron a try before adding Mirapex, it would be wonderful if you could get relief from that alone. Best, Post by lyric » Fri Aug 12, 2005 3:09 pm How long should I take the iron before I take the Miropex? Post by ViewsAskew » Fri Aug 12, 2005 3:52 pm Well, it depends. You have to get your ferritin to at least 50. Since you are at 6 now, it could take you 4-8 months!!! If you can it tolerate well and take it an hour before food with some vitamin C or 2 hours after food with vitamin C and remember it 3 times every day, it will happen more quickly than if you have to take it with food. Taking it was not a pleasant experience for me and it took me longer. You may not be able to wait that long for it to work, depending on how bad your symptoms, too. You do have to have regular blood tests if you do it. Please don't do it without them. Too much iron causes a condition, hemachromotosis, so always get tested. You can go as high as 200 before you get close to that point. Post by lyric » Fri Aug 12, 2005 5:07 pm Well, the Ferrous Sulfate hasn't been doing much of anything bad to me, so we'll see how long that lasts! rjlong33 Post by rjlong33 » Sat Oct 22, 2005 7:56 pm hi i have to take iron IVs and medication and it dont work for me at all does anybody have any new ideals? please help Post by trevb » Mon Oct 24, 2005 8:20 pm make sure you take plenty of fibre and fruit etc with the iron tablets as it can give you a bit of constipation!!

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Many people feel that no matter that they have accepted Christ and made him their personal Lord and savior yet, they believe that demons can still rule over them, they complain being in bondage of attacks, sickness, problems. God has given us assurance of freedom all round. You are no longer bound whether you believe it or not, I want to tell you this day that Jesus has made us free from sin, because sin is a reproach, sin gives birth to sickness, disease, death, and attacks etc. Today God through his Son has liberated us physically and spiritually, we are no more sentenced for death and eternal bondage but as it is written, we must be steadfast and continue to trust in God for our freedom. We should not deviate from the foundation which Jesus has laid for us as his children. As the scripture says in Romans 8-1, we are no more condemned. As God’s children wo are living and dwelling in Christ Jesus, we must not walk after the flesh but the Spirit, because we are operating under the Holy Spirit. Anywhere you find yourself keep proclaiming and confessing freedom from Satanic bondage, devilish attack, evil dreams, and demonic influences. Your freedom must be permanent in Jesus name amen.

Coffee is a favourite beverage that can help you focus and increase your energy levels. Many people rely on their morning cup of coffee to get them started in the day. Coffee is known for its energy-boosting properties but has many health benefits. This article examines 4 top evidence-based health benefits of coffee. Boosts energy levels Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant known for its ability to fight fatigue and increase energy. This happens because caffeine blocks the receptors for a neurotransmitter called Adenosine. It also increases other neurotransmitters that regulate energy levels, such as dopamine. A small study showed that caffeine consumption increased the time to exhaustion in cycling by 12% and significantly decreased subjective fatigue levels among participants. Similar findings were found in another study, which reported that caffeine intake before and during golf improves performance and personal energy levels and reduces fatigue. 2. Could be associated with a lower incidence of type 2 diabetes Research suggests that regular coffee consumption could reduce the risk of developing type II diabetes in the long term. So buy instant coffee online for better results. A review of 30 studies revealed that every cup of coffee a person drank per day was associated with a 6% lower chance of developing type II diabetes. This could be because coffee preserves the function of beta cells in your pancreas that are responsible for producing insulin. It’s also rich in antioxidants, which may influence insulin sensitivity, inflammation and metabolism, all of which are important in developing and maintaining type 2 diabetes. 3. It may help with brain health Although there have been mixed results from studies, some research shows that coffee can protect against certain neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. A review of 13 studies found that people who consume caffeine regularly have a lower chance of developing Parkinson’s disease. In addition, the progression of Parkinson’s disease was slowed by caffeine intake. The second review of 11 observational studies involving more than 29,000 people found that people who drank more coffee had a lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Numerous studies also show moderate coffee consumption may be associated with lower cognitive decline and dementia risk. 4. It may encourage weight management Some research suggests that coffee may alter fat storage and promote gut health. This could be beneficial in weight management. One review of 12 studies found that increased coffee intake could be linked to lower body fat, particularly in men. Another study found that women who drank more coffee had lower body fat. One study also found that those who consumed one to two cups per day of coffee were 17% more likely than those who drank less. Increased physical activity may help with weight management. The bottom line Researchers have extensively studied coffee as a popular drink for its numerous health benefits. These include its ability to boost energy, promote weight loss, improve athletic performance and protect against chronic diseases. It would help if you kept in mind that certain people may need to reduce their intake. This includes pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, children, adolescents and those with certain medical conditions. However, moderate coffee consumption — three to four cups daily — has been linked with many health benefits and is considered safe for most adults.

FEWER SALESMEN, RELAXED TEST DRIVES CALLED KEYS TO SALES – Daily Press Automakers are using "ride and drive" promotions to put potential buyers behind the wheel. Mark Oles was car shopping but it hardly looked that way. The 48-year-old Illinois man strapped himself into the driver's seat of BMWs and Subarus and spent a recent Saturday afternoon maneuvering the sporty models through pylon obstacle courses in the parking lot at U.S. Cellular Field. Not a single salesman was in sight. "If I'm checking a car out and trying to drink it in, I don't want someone hovering over my shoulder talking while I'm not listening," said Oles. "You certainly can't drive like this on city streets. (It's) a great way to learn about the cars." To lure buyers, automakers increasingly are ditching the salesman and putting potential buyers behind the wheel for some no-pressure drive time. Automakers say that the events are more successful than traditional print or television ads because getting people behind the wheel substantially increases the likelihood of a sale. The carmakers use these events to familiarize potential customers with their new vehicles. Chrysler Group says it generates an average of 50 future sales for each event it sponsors, according to Lou Bitonti, senior manager of brand events for the automaker. "Car marketing has been passive, doing ads the consumer might see or hear," said Nancy Hubbell, a spokeswoman for Toyota, which is conducting "Put It in Play" ride-and-drive promotions for young buyers. "We need to get more involved with the consumer. Ride and drive is the start of what we can do, putting people in a mood to buy at a fun event." Attendees played games--dodgeball, capture the flag and red light/green light--in Toyota Matrix, Corolla and Celica cars. "We do programs like this to introduce youth to our vehicles because our research has found that once exposed to our cars, they are more likely to put us on their consideration list," she added. "Once on that list, we have an 80 percent chance of moving the needle and selling them." Though Toyota is targeting youngsters, automakers generally try to attract a mix of men and women, young and old, to reach the biggest cross-section of potential buyers. "A lot of manufacturers now realize you've gotta get people to experience the product so they have a sense of what it's about," said Steve Tihanyi, general director of marketing alliances and regional operations for General Motors. GM calls its events the "Auto Show in Motion," and consumers can sample rival makes as well as cars from GM. "We try to invite mostly GM avoiders--people who haven't considered us in the past and who haven't been exposed to our products," Tihanyi said. "If you get a person in your car, the consideration level goes through the roof." Chrysler Group claims to have originated ride-and-drives a decade ago with "Camp Jeep," in which Jeep owners were invited to one of several courses, such as at state parks, to master the art of off-roading. "We started 'Camp Jeep' to teach folks how to drive Jeeps safely off-road. When 1,000 people waited in line to drive the course I said why not showcase our other new products, too?" said Bitonti. Chrysler attracts more than 60,000 consumers to its events each year. There is no pressure from salespeople and each participant is given a coupon worth $500 toward the purchase of a new vehicle in the next six months. Cars cannot be bought at the test drive events. The automaker's newest event is the "Block Party," designed for Chrysler owners, though owners of rival makes won't be turned away. For this, Chrysler has booked Six Flags in Gurnee, Ill., on Sept. 25 so consumers can drive the new versions of the 300C, PT Cruiser, Crossfire, Sebring and Town & Country on parking lot courses when not on the thrill rides in the park. Drivers must be 18 or older and have a valid driver's license. Chrysler is charging $100 per carload for the Block Party to defray the cost of renting the park and for another reason. *

Le Centenaire Brussels Expo Hotel Reviews | Expedia Le Centenaire Brussels Expo Reviews Avenue Jean Sobieski 84, Brussels, 1020 1-866-599-6674 This was the worst stay ever. I arrived to the hotel only to find out the even though I had a reservation confirmation, they didn't have it and didn't have the room I requested. After speaking to the manager, they found a Triple room which was not clean and the cieling was with mold. Super close to Atomium Very close to attractions and nice rooms but not great facility. No elevator and the hallway lights are on a very slow motion sensor. The shower leaked onto the floor a little but was hot and good pressure. Bed was clean and comfortable. Tram is right outside hotel and could only hear it a little, great if you don't have a car. Parking is free, on street after 18.00 until 8.00. by notreallyfussy Dark, dirty and a fourth-floor walkup Posted Oct 18, 2013 on Orbitz Nor quite what I was expecting from the pics. In a neighborhood with a scrap metal yard, homeless shelter and techno festivals. A dozen Metro stops from anywhere you'd want to be. Run by a family that . . . lives out loud. To their credit, the guy did lug my suitcase up the four narrow, steep flights of stairs, but . . . four narrow, steep flights of stairs. Cheap - clean - good public transportation access Cheap and overall clean place to stay for short visits, one day business trips etc. - narrow stairs, no elevator so if handicapped or limited mobility not the place to be. Complimentary breakfast is good Great location - Needs Work The hotel is located in a nice section outside of the city center (near Atomuin). The hotel is in VERY bad shape. If it was not for the fact that there ws a large convention during the time of my visit and hotels were fully booked, I would have moved to another location. Fortunately, I was only ther for 1 night. It lok like they were starting renovations, but they had a long way to go. Vraiment trop cher pour le service proposé Hôtel bruyant, le tram passe en bas de l'hôtel, parties communes sales, petit déjeuner déplorable, une seule chaîne fonctionnait sur la télé mais pas en français, très peu d'éclairage dans la chambre, une des fenêtres ne fermait pas... je ne recommande pas cet hôtel

Passaic Valley track shifts focus to postseason A good month of April has the Passaic Valley boys and girls track team prepared for an exciting May. Passaic Valley track shifts focus to postseason A good month of April has the Passaic Valley boys and girls track team prepared for an exciting May. Check out this story on northjersey.com: https://njersy.co/2qtysFU Correspondent Published 7:48 a.m. ET May 2, 2017 Passaic Valley will compete in the Big North championships at Wayne Hills.(Photo: Kevin R. Wexler/NorthJersey.com)Buy Photo The teams will compete in the Big North championships May 4 at Wayne Hills High School and take part in the Passaic County championship meet May 9-10, also at Wayne Hills. The county relays will be held May 15, at Wayne Valley High. The Hornets will also be hosting a fundraiser, at the Chipotle Restaurant located at 70 Willowbrook Blvd. in Wayne on May 8, from 5 p.m.-9 p.m. Fifty percent of the proceeds of purchases during that time will be donated to the PV High track team. Coach Joel Thornton has the necessary flier need to participate in the fundraiser. If you don't have the flier but wish to participate May 8, just tell the cashier you wish to donate to the fundraiser. Thornton is looking forward to the next month and some big meets. "The dual meets are completed and now we are into postseason with the league and county championships," said Thornton. "The state sectionals are on Memorial Day weekend, so it's a busy time. "We finished the season against Fair Lawn with a loss, but it came down to the last race, the 4-x-400 relay. I could not be prouder of the way my team finished the season. We were down our fastest sprinter and senior leader, Fernando Flores, since his injury against Wayne Hills. Senior leaders and underclassmen stepped up into the role and gave it their all. Erick Alvarez scored 16 points with three first-place finishes, Michael Festa scored 10 points with two first-place finishes, Julio Sanchez and Mohammed Oudah both scored eight points with one first-place finish as did Kyle Zamajtuik." Thornton also noted that Ardit Adili did a good job, with a pair of second-place finishes and six points. Nevin Mack, Noah Capehart, Anthony Forino, Michael Cyman, Zaid Sousan, Anthony Nuzzo and Nicholas Brigati also placed for PV. Last Friday at the freshman county championships, the Hornets placed in seven events. Pablo Arias placed third in the 1,600- and 3,200-meter races. Zakria Dahhan took fourth place in the 200 and 400, and Nicholas Brigati placed third in high jump. Frank Koch won the freshman county title in the 110 high hurdles and finished fourth in the 400 intermediate hurdles. "I was so happy for them," said Thornton of the freshmen. "They are the future of our program, and we have almost every event covered from hurdles, sprints, distance and jumps." Last Saturday, the Hornets competed at the Millburn Relays and placed in the javelin and discus. "We just missed placing in the 110 shuttle hurdles and were seventh in the sprint medley. In the javelin, Kyle Zamajtuk and Nevin Mack did well, with Mack throwing a personal best of 134 feet. The discus team consisted of Adili and Raphael Nuzzo." The shuttle hurdles team did well, with Alvarez, back from an injury, leading the way with a time of 1:11.69. For the girls, Zuania Victoria dominated the Passaic County freshman track championships, winning gold in the 400 hurdles, 110 hurdles and the 200. Kristina Matir earned a medal in the shot put, and Krisha Rana and Natalie Garafalo also turned in personal bests in the sprints. At a recent tri-meet, Victoria won the 400 hurdles and Eduarda Abrantes placed in four events. This past Saturday the javelin team of Jehan Abyhan and Andreanna Karoullas finished fourth at the Millburn Relays, according to coach Bill Johnson.

A New Treatment for Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria and Infectious Disease - Research & Development World By University of Birmingham | April 11, 2017 This is Pseudomonas bacteria. Source: Photo Credit: Janice Haney Carr "These patients had an excess of a particular antibody in the bloodstream. In contrast to the protective effect normally associated with antibody, in these patients the antibody stopped the immune system killing the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium and this worsened the patients' lung disease. Perhaps counter-intuitively, we decided to remove this antibody from the bloodstream and the outcomes were wholly positive." "We needed a brand new way of tackling this problem. Working with kidney and immunology experts, we used a process known as plasmapheresis that is somewhat like kidney dialysis. The plasmapheresis involved the removal, treatment, and return of blood plasma from circulation, and was done 5 times in a week in order to remove antibody from the patients. We then replaced antibodies with those from blood donations. This treatment restored the ability for the patients' blood to kill their infecting Pseudomonas."

The flight originated from the pilot’s private airstrip approximately 5 minutes prior to the accident. The pilot reported that, as part of a local orientation flight for her passenger, she intended to land at the Dennis F. Cantrell Field Airport. On a long final approach for runway 25, while the airplane was descending through 1,600 feet msl, she noted that the rate of descent was higher than she anticipated.

Aurora Leigh: Paperback: Elizabeth Barrett Browning Robert Browning, Adam Roberts... £12.99 Elizabeth Barrett BrowningEdited with an introduction and notes by Kerry McSweeney 978-0-19-955233-7 Aurora Leigh is the foremost example of the mid-nineteenth-century poem of contemporary life. This verse-novel is a richly detailed representation of the early Victorian age. The social panorama extends from the slums of London, through the literary world, to the upper classes and a number of superb satiric portraits: an aunt with rigidly conventional notions of female education; Romney Leigh, the Christian socialist; Lord Howe, the amateur radical; Sir Blaise Delorme, the ostentatious Roman Catholic; and the unscrupulous society beauty Lady Waldemar. However, the dominant presence in the work is the narrator, Aurora Leigh herself. From early years in Italy and adolescence in the West Country to the vocational choices, creative struggles, and emotional entanglements of her first decade of adult life, Aurora Leigh develops her ideas on art, love, God, the Woman Question, and society. This is the first critically edited and fully annotated edition for almost a century. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.Readership: Readers of Victorian poetry and students of 19th century English literature, and women's writing at undergraduate and postgraduate level.

Families may be eligible for Federal Student Loans which must be paid back. Loans include: Federal Perkins loans, Federal Stafford loans and Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) loans. Alternative loans are from banks and other private lenders that students and families use to cover remaining costs. These loans generally have higher interest rates and are less flexible than the federal loans. Request a PIN for the student and parents at www.pin.ed.gov List all the schools to which you are applying on the FAFSA, so those schools can access your FAFSA. Your FAFSA will determine your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) – the amount the government believes you and your family can afford to pay for college each year. Based of the EFC and the college's Cost of Attendance (COA), the school determines your financial need. The college will put together a financial aid award package that lists a variety of options to help you meet your financial need which may include federal grants/loans, work study, and institutional grants or aid.

You will never be my best friend again | Letters I'll Never Send You will never be my best friend again by admin • June 27, 2011 • * Safe for Work *, Friends, Letting Go • 0 Comments If you ever find this post somehow, this is the only explanation I provide for ending our friendship. For six years, I had never truly felt like your best friend. You were a manipulative, guilt-tripping, judgmental, selfish, ignorant b-tch. Over the years, I have grown to hate you deep inside, but I would put my happy face on when I'm with you. I'm tired of being used by you. Even though you aren't as bad as you were back in high school, you're still a bad friend. Yeah, we'll have our good times, but those times seem fake to me now. I wasted so much time and energy on you… you are the most selfish person I have ever met. I don't know why I ever stayed with you for so long. Every time we hung out together or rode on the bus to school together- I felt so tense and uncomfortable being next to you. Why? Because I was scared of you. You were never happy for me. You were always complaining about me. You never understood how I felt when we would have arguments, all you cared was who could make the meanest comeback. You would brush off my feelings like it was nothing and expect me to cheer you up the next day. Sometimes you thought I was yelling at you for no reason… I could only take that much pressure until I finally explode on you. Also, I don't like that you sexually violated me and pretended that it was all a joke. I told you how I felt and you told me you couldn't believe I didn't get over it yet. I will never forget this traumatic incident. I always treated you like a real true friend, you were my top priority, and I felt that you were a very special friend to me. Ugh, enough with this! I could write a whole book about you, but I'll let you think about what went wrong yourself. I am so glad I broke off this toxic friendship. Sure, from time to time we would have fights, but this time it's for real. You even messaged me a few days ago that you never thought I would ignore you for this long. Now that I haven't talked to you for four months, I feel like a much better and relieved person. I feel that I can accomplish anything that you said I wouldn't be able to do. I… I FEEL SO FREE! Every time you messaged me saying you're sorry and that you will never find another "best friend" like me- I think you're just lonely. I never believed a word you said. Sometimes I do miss you because of the good times that we had, but then I'll think back on all the negatives about you. Nothing positive ever comes out of your mouth. I hate you so much. EVERY SINGLE TIME we had a fight before, you would say, "If I'm such a horrible friend then don't be my friend". Your wish is granted, b-tch. You will NEVER be my friend again. You don't deserve my friendship. It's over… it's time to move on now.

Butler said the US, Afghan government and the people of the country want peace; but the Taliban refused to agree and are continuing war. He further said, if the Taliban do not end conflict, the US forces will retaliate against the militants. But the Taliban replied, saying US forces should not speak for the Afghan people, and should perhaps focus on withdrawing its team from the country.

July | 2012 | Big Duck Games In Uncategorized on July 28, 2012 by noombs Flow Free version 1.2 for iOS and version 1.4 for Android were released earlier this week. Here's a highlight of what's new: Four new level packs, two free, two paid. On the Free side, there's now a Bonus Pack which contains additional levels from 5×5 to 9×9 and also an 8×8 mania pack which contains 150 8×8 levels. We thought this 8×8 mania pack might be a good way to challenge some of the more experienced players. In the Level Store you can now purchase the Pink Pack which is a Jumbo size pack containing 10×10 – 14×14 levels and you can purchase the 9×9 mania pack. We've also added an option to purchase all the levels at a discount. Hope you enjoy the update! Let us know if you have feedback or ideas for our next release. (Note – we haven't yet enabled in-app purchases on Android. We are considering those.) In Uncategorized on July 13, 2012 by noombs I thought I would take a few minutes to answer some questions we get asked frequently over email. Yep There is a solution to every puzzle. Keep working on it! One trick I find useful when solving the puzzles is to start from the outside. Try to connect dots and fill paths which use the outside squares before connecting the inner ones.

Lifeproof Fre Power - Funda sumergible con batería - Apple Support Phone Number ✆ There are lots of cases and shells on the market to protect our iPhones, but if we had to keep one for all its features maybe this would be it. The Lifeproof Fre Power combines two important accessories in one: waterproof case and extra battery for the device. It could be considered as the ultimate iPhone 6 case and it's already available! This case offers durable protection from the elements that can damage any iPhone. It is resistant to drops of up to 2 metres , so our smartphone will be perfectly protected inside. Water will not be a problem either as with this case we can submerge the iPhone up to 2 metres under water . Of course it also offers protection against other harmful elements such as: sand, snow, dust, other types of liquids, etc, etc… As if all this were not enough, the Lifeproof Fre Power has an extra 2600 mAh 1.0 A battery . This battery has enough capacity to charge the iPhone 6 twice , so it is ideal for long trips or for people who use their smartphone very intensively and the internal battery is not enough. Its operation is very simple, when the battery of our iPhone is running out we can activate the battery of the case to recharge it. When the charge of the iPhone reaches 100% it will automatically turn off, thus reserving the rest of the energy it contains for a next charge. We can see how the case works in this video: As we can see the Lifeproof Fre Power allows us to keep our iPhone protected, always with a battery and all this without any limitation. All the buttons on the device are perfectly accessible, it is possible to use Touch ID, the camera is protected by an optical glass that does not interfere with the quality of the photos and the screen is protected by a barely noticeable protector that protects it from scratches without interfering with its response to us. The case has a size of 155.2 x 78.7 x 16.8 mm and weighs 122.9 grams. A more than acceptable size considering the great protection it offers and the fact that it has twice the capacity of the battery that the iPhone 6 has inside. Looking for the perfect case for any outing? Looking for protection and improved range for your iPhone 6? Well, this option certainly fits you. It's available through Macnificos, a store we love to recommend for its good reputation and great product catalogue. iTunes Festival starts in just a few days iTunes Festival is an international and local music festival that has been held for a few years in London, specifically since 2007, in one of the… Why not install iOS 7 First and foremost, it is an immature system.

OF ALABAMA UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ALABAMA SOUTHERN DIVISION ASHLEE STEIN, individually and on behalf of a class of persons similarly situated, Plaintiff, vs. MONTEREY FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC., Defendant. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) Civil Action Number 2:13-cv-01336-AKK MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER Ashlee Stein filed this lawsuit against Monterey Financial Services, Inc., Experian Information Solutions, Inc., and Equifax Information Services, L.L.C., asserting seven claims in her individual capacity. 1 Stein voluntarily dismissed Experian and Equifax, leaving Monterey as the sole defendant. See docs. 21; 22; 23; 24. Stein subsequently filed a motion to amend her complaint to add a class claim under the TCPA, which the court granted. See docs. 26; 31. Monterey then moved for summary judgment as to Stein's individual and class TCPA claims. Doc. 35. The court denied Monterey's motion and entered a scheduling order 1 Stein's individual claims include alleged violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, 47 U.S.C. § 227 et seq. ("TCPA") (Count I); Negligent, Reckless, Wanton, Malicious, and/or Intentional Conduct (Count II); Negligent Hiring, Training, and/or Supervision of Employees and/or Agents (Count III); Invasion of Privacy by Intrusion Upon Seclusion (Count IV); Violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692 et seq. ("FDCPA") (Count V); Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. ("FCRA") (Count VI); and Defamation (Count VII). See doc. 1. which, among other things, allotted one year for class discovery. Docs. 50; 52. Presently before the court is Stein's motion for class certification. Doc. 63. The motion is fully briefed, docs. 63; 69; 74, and, with the benefit of oral argument, ripe for ruling. For the reasons stated more fully below, the court concludes that the motion is due to be denied.2 Accordingly, this matter is SET for a pretrial conference at 1:00 p.m. on February 17, 2017, and for trial at 9:00 a.m. on March 27, 2017, both in Courtroom 4A of the Hugo L. Black Courthouse, 1729 Fifth Avenue North, Birmingham, AL 35203. The court directs the parties to the Standard Pretrial Procedures governing all pretrial deadlines, which is attached as Exhibit A. I. FACTUAL BACKGROUND Sometime before August 2012, Stein discovered that her credit report reflected an outstanding debt for a "Luminess Air" account that Stein did not recognize or recall creating, and which Monterey had acquired for collection. See doc. 43-2 at 3. Subsequently, on August 28, 2012, after obtaining Monterey's number from the credit reporting agency, Stein contacted Monterey "to find out why this account [she] knew nothing about was showing up on [her] credit reports." Id.; doc. 43-3 (recording of August 28, 2012 phone call at 1:28, 3:43). 2 Stein's motion to strike, doc. 71, and Monterey's motion for leave to file a sur-reply, doc. 77, are DENIED. Monterey's motion for leave to file notice of supplemental authority, doc. 83, is GRANTED. 2 When Laurisa Fernandez answered Stein's call, Stein explained that she had "never ordered anything" from Luminess Air and was calling to "see what was on the account." Doc. 43-3 at 3:43. After Fernandez located Stein's account in the Monterey database, and before offering any additional information about the account, Fernandez asked Stein to verify her mailing address and asked, "What's a good home phone number for you?" Id. at 5:00. Stein responded by verifying her address and providing her cell phone number. Id. at 5:03. Fernandez then asked whether the number from which Stein was calling was a "good number" to reach her, and Stein responded, "no." Id. at 5:08. At this point, Fernandez informed Stein that her account reflected an outstanding balance of $397.94 for the purchase of an "airbrush makeup kit" from Luminess in 2010, which was transferred to collection in April 2012. Id. at 5:13, 9:47. Confused as to how she incurred the debt, Stein asked a series of questions about the purchase and learned that the credit card used to purchase the makeup kit was a Mastercard in Stein's name, but which had a different last four digits than those on the Mastercard in Stein's possession at the time of the call. Id. at 5:30– 9:39. At one point during the conversation, Stein stated that perhaps her mother had purchased the makeup kit on Stein's credit card, adding that her mother "would do something like that and not even tell [her]." Doc. 43-3 at 6:47–6:52. Ultimately, Stein stated that she "didn't want . . . [the charge] on her credit" and 3 that she would like to "set up payments so that can be taken care of." Id. at 7:10. Fernandez subsequently provided instructions for sending payment to Monterey, which concluded the telephone conversation. Id. at 7:16–11:47. "[A]fter thinking more about the situation" and speaking with a lawyer about whether she should "pay for this debt that was not [hers] and that [she] did not owe," Stein changed her mind and chose instead to "dispute the account with the credit reporting companies." Doc. 43-2 at 4. Apparently, Stein never conveyed this to Monterey, because Monterey attempted to collect the debt by continuously using an automatic dialer to call Stein on her cell phone. Doc. 36-1 at 5. Between August 28, 2012 and July 18, 2013 (when Stein initiated this lawsuit), Stein received over thirty auto-dialed calls and numerous prerecorded voicemails from Monterey debt collectors. See doc. 43-1 at 4–6. II. CLASS CERTIFICATION STANDARDS Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 outlines the requirements for class certification. As a threshold matter, a district court should determine whether the proposed class is "adequately defined and clearly ascertainable." Little v. T-Mobile USA, Inc., 691 F.3d 1302, 1304 (11th Cir. 2012) (quoting DeBremaecker v. Short, 433 F.2d 733, 734 (5th Cir. 1970)) (internal quotation marks omitted); see also John v. Nat'l Sec. Fire & Cas. Co., 501 F.3d 443, 445 (5th Cir. 2007) ("The existence of an ascertainable class of persons to be represented by the proposed 4 class representative is an implied prerequisite of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23."). Only if the court determines that this threshold requirement is met must it then address the question of whether the four Rule 23(a) prerequisites are satisfied. These prerequisites, commonly referred to as the numerosity, commonality, typicality, and adequacy requirements, are "designed to limit class claims to those fairly encompassed by the named plaintiffs' individual claims," Valley Drug Co. v. Geneva Pharms., Inc., 350 F.3d 1181, 1188 (11th Cir. 2003) (citing Prado-Steiman v. Bush, 221 F.3d 1266, 1278 (11th Cir. 2000)), and "serve as guideposts for determining whether under the particular circumstances maintenance of a class action is economical and whether the named plaintiff's claim and the class claims are so interrelated that the interests of the class members will be fairly and adequately protected in their absence," Piazza v. Ebsco Industries, Inc., 273 F.3d 1341, 1346 (11th Cir. 2001) (quotations and citations omitted). If the plaintiff establishes the Rule 23(a) prerequisites, the analysis then shifts to Rule 23(b), which requires, in pertinent part, that "questions of law or fact common to class members predominate over any questions affecting only individual members, and that a class action is superior to other available methods for fairly and efficiently adjudicating the controversy." Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(b)(3). "A district court must conduct a rigorous analysis of the Rule 23 prerequisites before certifying a class." Sher v. Raytheon Co., 419 F. App'x 887, 5 889 (11th Cir. 2011) (citing Falcon, 457 U.S. at 161). While class certification naturally focuses on the requirements of Rule 23, "the trial court can and should consider the merits of the case to the degree necessary to determine whether the requirements of Rule 23 will be satisfied." Valley Drug Co., 350 F.3d at 1188 n.15. Finally, "the party seeking class certification has the burden of proof," Brown v. Electrolux Home Prods., 817 F.3d 1225, 1233 (11th Cir. 2016) (citing Valley Drug. Co. v. Geneva Pharms., Inc., 350 F.3d 1181, 1187 (11th Cir. 2003)) (emphasis in original), and "if doubts remain about whether the standard [for certification] is satisfied, 'the party with the burden of proof loses.'" Brown, 817 F.3d at 1233 (quoting Simmons v. Blodgett, 110 F.3d 39, 42 (9th Cir. 1997)). III. ANALYSIS Turning to the present motion, the TCPA makes it unlawful "to make any call (other than a call . . . made with the prior express consent of the called party) using any automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice . . ." 47 U.S.C. § 227(b)(1)(A). Stein seeks to certify a class of "[a]ll persons within the United States to whom Monterey placed an ATDS-to-cellular debt-collection call between February 13, 2013 and July 17, 2013, and who did not provide their cellular numbers to their creditors during the transaction that resulted in the debt owed." Doc. 63 at 8. Stein insists that she can ascertain the members of this proposed class by having Monterey identify "all ATDS-to-cellular calls it made 6 during the statutory period," and then removing all potential class members who consented to receiving the calls by having Monterey identify "any [call recipients] who had provided their cellular phone numbers to their creditors during the transaction resulting in the debt owed." Id. The parties have primarily focused on whether Stein's theory of consent is too narrow or, stated differently, does not exclude from the proposed class all persons who validly consented to receiving debt-collection calls from Monterey.3 The court does not have to resolve which party's consent theory is "correct," however, due to Stein's failure to rebut a secondary argument Monterey presented: i.e., that Stein proposes no feasible method for removing persons who received non-debt-collection calls from the pool of proposed class members. See doc. 69 at 19; Transcript from Dec. 19, 2016 Oral Argument at 38–39. Because a plaintiff has the burden of "propos[ing] an administratively feasible method by which class members can be identified," Karhu v. Vital Pharms., Inc., 621 F. App'x 945, 947 (11th Cir. 2015), for reasons explained more fully below, the court concludes that Stein cannot satisfy Rule 23's implied ascertainability requirement and Rule 23(a)(3)'s typicality requirement. Alternatively, the court finds that, regardless of 3 Specifically, while Stein contends that a consumer may provide consent only to her original creditor during the transaction giving rise to the debt, doc. 63 at 5, Monterey contends that a consumer may also provide consent to a third party and may do so after the underlying transaction, as long as the consumer does so "in connection with" the debt, doc. 69 at 9. 7 the operative consent theory, individualized consent issues render the proposed class unsuitable for certification under Rule 23(b)(3). A. Ascertainability and Typicality Monterey points out that "in addition to acting as a debt collector, [it] also services non-delinquent accounts as a creditor or loan servicer," and, consequently, "there are an unknown number of alleged class-members that received calls from [Monterey], but did not receive them from a debt collector." Doc. 69 at 19. Monterey contends that Stein "ignores this distinction and fails to offer any criteria to ascertain these individuals," thereby rendering the proposed class unascertainable. Id. Stein apparently agrees that the court should deny certification if the parties cannot easily identify and remove persons to whom Monterey placed non-debtcollection calls. Indeed, at least one panel of the Eleventh Circuit, albeit in an unpublished opinion, has held that a district court should not certify a class when the evidence of record does not allow the court to identify only persons encompassed by the proposed class definition. See Bussey v. Macon Cnty. Greyhound Park, Inc., 562 F. App'x 782, 788 (11th Cir. 2014). However, Stein counters that the tripartite nature of Monterey's business "presents no obstacle to ascertainability" since Monterey's calls are organized by division, and, presumably, she can carve out the relevant class members, i.e., the individuals to 8 whom Monterey placed debt-collection calls. Doc. 74 at 8–9 (citing doc. 74-3 at 3–4); see also doc. 63 at 8. Relevant here, Monterey's representative Shaun Lucas testified that there are "different companies within Monterey," referencing "C10 [finance]," "C11 [debt collection]," and "C12 [loan servicing]" divisions. Doc. 743 at 3–4. Lucas also testified that Monterey's "core business is to buy performer receivables [i.e., the C10 category]," id. at 3 (emphasis added), but that Luminess Air, the entity on whose behalf Monterey attempted to collect a debt from Stein, "happens to be a collection agency [i.e., a C11] client," id. at 4. 4 Finally, and significantly, Lucas testified that these designations may be fluid and/or that some proposed class members could have multiple designations, as an account could be "generated in [one of the] other two divisions, finance or loan servicing, defaulted[,] and later transferred to [Monterey's] collection agency." Doc. 69-1 at 96; see also doc. 63-2 at 9. 4 The undisputed evidence that debt-collection comprises only a minority of Monterey's business undermines Stein's ability to prove typicality under Rule 23(a)(3) if she cannot propose a feasible method for removing persons who received C10 and C12 calls. "[T]ypicality measures whether a sufficient nexus exists between the claims of the named representative and those of the class at large." Busby v. JRHBW Realty, Inc., 513 F.3d 1314, 1323 (11th Cir. 2008). Cf. Sharf v. Fin. Asset Resolution, L.L.C., 295 F.R.D. 664, 670 (S.D. Fla. 2014) ("Plaintiff argues that he has established typicality because Plaintiff and the members of the class suffered from a common practice Defendant employed, namely its issuance of form debt collection letters. The Court agrees with Plaintiff that the sending of form debt collection letters demonstrates typicality.") (emphasis added). Without proposing an effective filtering method, Stein faces an uphill battle in establishing that her claims are typical of the proposed class at-large, or, stated differently, that Monterey engaged in the same conduct vis-à-vis Stein and the unnamed class members. 9 Although Stein contends that the parties can distinguish each call by a consumer account's C10, C11, or C12 designation, she proposes no plan, based on the evidence obtained during class discovery, for doing so. Instead, Stein attempts to shift the burden to Monterey, stating in conclusory fashion that "if [non-debt collection calls] actually exist, they can be easily identified and filtered out of the class list," doc. 74 at 9, and that "if Monterey can show that . . . persons [for whom Monterey acts as a loan servicer or creditor] exist, the simple process of removing them from the class will assuage any concerns about typicality," id. at 9 n.2. These contentions miss the mark because, again, "'[t]he burden of establishing the [Rule 23 requirements] is on the plaintiff who seeks to certify the suit as a class action.'" Karhu, 621 F. App'x at 947 (quoting Heaven v. Trust Co. Bank, 118 F.3d 735, 737 (11th Cir. 1997)). Moreover, "[a] party's assurance to the court that it intends or plans to meet the requirements [of Rule 23] is insufficient." In re Hydrogen Peroxide Antitrust Litig., 552 F.3d 305, 318 (3d Cir. 2008) (citing Newton v. Merill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., 259 F.3d 154, 191 (3d Cir. 2001) ("[W]here the court finds, on the basis of substantial evidence as here, that there are serious problems now appearing, it should not certify the class merely on the assurance of counsel that some solution will be found.") (internal quotation marks omitted)). To succeed, the moving plaintiff "must affirmatively demonstrate [her] compliance with Rule 23 by proving that the requirements are 'in fact' satisfied." Brown, 817 10 F.3d at 1234 (quoting Comcast Corp. v. Behrend, 133 S. Ct. 1426, 1432 (2013), in turn quoting Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Dukes, 131 S. Ct. 2541, 2551 (2011)) (emphasis in original, some internal quotation marks omitted). Conclusory statements similar to those by Stein that a class is ascertainable are insufficient to meet the moving plaintiff's burden. See In re Wellbutrin XL Antitrust Litig., 308 F.R.D. 134, 151 (E.D. Pa. 2015) ("The [plaintiffs'] evidence in support of ascertainability consists mainly of conclusory statements by its experts that records exist that could be used to ascertain the class . . . . This evidence is not enough to show by a preponderance of the evidence that the class is ascertainable."); see also Hill v. T-Mobile USA, Inc., No. 2:09-cv-1827-VEH, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 157669, at *34 (N.D. Ala. May 16, 2011 (class unascertainable when plaintiffs failed to "address[] how to effectively back out from [the proposed class list] those persons who would potentially be ineligible . . . ."). In summary, because a plaintiff seeking certification must propose an administratively feasible method for identifying class members and Stein proposes no specific plan, using the evidence generated during over a year of class discovery, to filter-out potential class members to whom Monterey made C10 or C12 calls, Stein has failed to meet her burden of proving that the proposed class is clearly ascertainable and that her claim — based on C11 calls — is typical of those of the unnamed class members. Moreover, even if Stein currently possessed 11 evidence of accounts with C10, C11, or C12 designations, she completely fails to address Monterey's evidence that accounts are often transferred between departments and that some accounts have multiple designations. 5 Based on this record, Stein would experience difficulty, notwithstanding an account's current designation, in proving what type of call Monterey made to a particular individual on a given date,6 and in establishing that her claims are typical of the class. See Kreuzfeld A.G. v. Carnehammar, 138 F.R.D. 594, 598–99 (S.D. Fla. 1991) (named representative must possess "same essential characteristics as the claims of the class at large" to satisfy typicality requirement); Sharf, 295 F.R.D. at 670 (citing Manno v. Healthcare Revenue Recovery Grp., L.L.C., 289 F.R.D. 674, 686 (S.D. Fla. 2013)) ("Typicality is generally satisfied when the named representative[], in proving the elements of [her] claim[], would also establish the elements of the 5 The totality of Stein's rebuttal on this point is as follows: Monterey's unsupported contention that it may be a creditor or loan servicer to some of the potential class members[] presents no obstacle to ascertainability. Monterey's call records are organized by division. For example, records of calls made by Monterey's loan servicing division are found on the "C12" dialer. Accordingly, if any such calls actually exist, they can be easily identified and filtered out of the class list. Doc. 74 at 8–9 (record citations omitted). This contention does not rebut Monterey's evidence that its accounts may have fluid or multiple designations. 6 See doc. 63-2 at 9 ("[Monterey] has . . . produced a Master Spreadsheet that demonstrates which consumers (by consumer name and [Monterey] account number) [Monterey] has contractual documents/applications for. In certain instances, multiple [Monterey] account numbers are associated with the same consumer and contractual obligation. The reason for this is that when accounts are transferred amongst [Monterey's] multiple departments, the account number will change."). 12 class members' claims."); Stemple v. QC Holdings, Inc., No. 12-cv-01997BAS(WVG), 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 55011, at *14 (S.D. Cal. Apr. 25, 2016) (typicality requirement satisfied when "Plaintiff's and the unnamed class members' claims ar[ose] from the same alleged conduct of Defendant — unsolicited phone calls for debt collection purposes using an ATDS and artificial voice — and [were] based on the same legal theory — violation of the TCPA") (emphasis added). For these reasons, and because "[a] district court that has doubts about whether 'the requirements of Rule 23 have been met should refuse certification . . . .,'" Brown, 817 F.3d at 1233–34 (citation omitted), the court concludes that the proposed class is not ascertainable and, relatedly, that Stein has failed to show that her claims are typical of the class of claimants she seeks to represent. B. Predominance of Individualized Consent Issues Alternatively, even assuming that Stein could satisfy the ascertainability and typicality requirements, Stein cannot show that certification is appropriate under Rule 23(b)(3) due to the predominance of individualized consent issues over any common questions regarding Monterey's course of conduct. Stein contends that the court would not need to undertake any individualized inquiries under either party's proposed consent theory, because Monterey "obtained consent in the same way, for every class call, by acquiring cellular numbers from the call recipients over the phone," doc. 74 at 13 (emphasis omitted). As an initial matter, it is not 13 clear that Monterey engages in such a uniform course of conduct. Compare doc. 43-3 at 5:00 (Monterey operator asks Stein, "What's a good home phone number for you?") with doc. 69-2 at 6 (Monterey internal memorandum directing callers to ask, "Is this a valid contact number?"). Furthermore, even if Monterey callers asked each debtor the same question, whether a debtor perceived his or her answer to that question as providing consent to receive subsequent calls is an individualized inquiry that would require the court to ascertain each debtor's interpretation, or understanding, of that question. The facts of Stein's own TCPA claim exemplify the context-specific nature of consent and undergirded this court's denial of Monterey's summary judgment motion: [I]t is not exactly clear that Stein consented to the calls. Rather, the evidence shows only that immediately after Stein called and explained that she had never ordered anything from the creditor and wanted to know "what was on her account," the [Monterey] representative asked Stein for a "good home phone number" to reach her. Whether in providing her number, Stein was simply facilitating the process of learning more about the purportedly mysterious entry on her credit report — or, alternatively, consenting to receiving collection calls — is an issue best left for a factfinder. Doc. 50 at 8–9 (record citations omitted). Because this court would have to examine consent — a defense Monterey intends to raise against every class member — on a person-by-person basis, certification is not proper under Rule 23(b)(3), which requires that "questions of law or fact common to class members predominate over any questions affecting only individual members." See Fed. R. 14 Civ. P. 23(b)(3); see also Sacred Heart Health Sys. v. Humana Military Healthcare Servs., 601 F.3d 1159, 1170 (11th Cir. 2010) ("A plaintiff may claim that every putative class member was harmed by the defendant's conduct, but if . . . the defendant has non-frivolous defenses to liability that are unique to individual class members, any common questions may well be submerged by individual ones."); Gene & Gene L.L.C. v. BioPay L.L.C., 541 F.3d 318, 326–29 (5th Cir. 2008) (reversing class certification predicated on defendant's "common course of conduct, fax blasting," where the district court "did not explain how th[is] common course of conduct . . . would affect a trial on the merits," and where a trial would in fact require individualized proof as to whether each class member had consented to receipt of faxes). In light of all of the foregoing, the court will not proceed to analyze the remainder of the requirements set forth under Rules 23(a) and 23(b)(3). See Bennett v. Hayes Robertson Group, Inc., 880 F. Supp. 2d 1270, 1282 (S.D. Fla. 2012) ("Because the Court is not satisfied that all of the elements of Rule 23(a) have been met, it need not shift to an analysis under Rule 23(b)(3)."); Adair v. Johnston, 221 F.R.D. 573, 578 (M.D. Ala. 2004) ("Because Adair's putative class is not adequately definite and ascertainable, class certification should be denied. The court need not reach whether Adair's putative class would satisfy the other requirements of [Rule] 23."). 15 IV. CONCLUSION AND ORDER In light of Stein's failure to show that the proposed class is clearly ascertainable, that her claims are typical of those of the group of claimants she seeks to represent, and that common questions predominate over individualized consent issues, the motion for class certification, doc. 63, is DENIED. DONE the 31st day of January, 2017. _________________________________ ABDUL K. KALLON UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 16 EXHIBIT A UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ALABAMA PRE-TRIAL DOCKET HON. ABDUL K. KALLON, PRESIDING BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA This case is set for a pre-trial hearing pursuant to Rule 16 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. A conference-type hearing will be held in chambers in the Hugo Black Federal Courthouse in Birmingham, Alabama at the time indicated. The hearing will address all matters provided in Rule 16, including the limitation of issues requiring trial, rulings on pleading motions, and settlement possibilities. Counsel attending the conference are expected to be well-informed about the factual and legal issues of the case, and to have authority to enter appropriate stipulations and participate in settlement discussions. Counsel appearing at the conference will be required to proceed at trial notwithstanding the naming of others as designated trial counsel. Promptly upon receipt of this notice, plaintiff's counsel is to initiate discussions with other counsel aimed at ascertaining which basic facts are not in dispute, at clarifying the parties' contentions (for example, just what is denied under a "general denial") and at negotiating workable procedures and deadlines for remaining discovery matters. At least four (4) business days in advance of the conference, plaintiff's counsel is to submit to chambers (via email at [email protected]) a proposed Pre-trial Order inWordPerfect format, furnishing other counsel with a copy. It is anticipated that in most cases the proposed order, with only minor insertions and changes, could be adopted by the court and signed at the close of the hearing. A sample of a proposed Pre-trial Order is available on the Chamber web site (http://www.alnd.uscourts.gov/content/judge-abdul-k-kallon) to illustrate the format preferred by the court and also to provide additional guidance and 17 instructions. Each order must, of course, be tailored to fit the circumstances of the individual case. Counsel drafting this proposed order should consider the utility this document will provide for the litigants, the jury, and the court alike. The court anticipates using the pretrial order to (1) identify and narrow the legal and factual issues remaining for trial, and (2) provide jurors with the legal and factual context of the dispute. This order should not revisit at length arguments made in previous filings with the court, nor should it serve as another venue for adversarial posturing. Pretrial orders should be simple, short, and informative. IN ANY CASE WHERE COUNSEL HAVE ANNOUNCED SETTLEMENT TO THE COURT, A CONSENT JUDGMENT IN SATISFACTORY FORM MUST BE PRESENTED TO THE COURT PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULED TRIAL DATE; OTHERWISE, THE CASE WILL BE DISMISSEDWITH PREJUDICE. 18

Wii-TV, not Web TV – Content Is Queen It's a kind of holographic video-game experience. You hold a small remote in your hand. The instructions remind you to keep the wrist band fastened so you don't fling it at your HD-TV and dent the screen. Then, the movements of your arm are mirrored by the avatar on the screen. You swing your arm back and forward, releasing a button and a bowling ball goes flying down the lane. Pretty neat. My 9-year-old friend wiped the floor with me in bowling. Bowling was fun. But here's what was absolutely coolest about the Wii– its navigational interface. The remote actually seems to have weight and tension– the kind you would feel manipulating a mouse with a wheel. It does this by emitting small vibrations. Surfing, therefore, is an enjoyable, tactile experience. You point the thing at the screen and it presents you with a cursor, allowing you to surf to weather and news. My little friend was able to completely customize her avatar and her dad's. Think about it. Ever been frustrated with the little rubbery buttons on your TV remote? Can't even surf the "Guide" without wanting to tear your hair out? That's what I'm talking about. Which brings me to the Business Week article today. It discusses the Web TV efforts by companies on display at CES. The article spends an innordinate amount of time on the idea of video on demand. Is it possible? When? How? Where? At what cost? The handwringing overshadows more important basics– and frankly the real reason I would love Web TV even without video on demand. Here's what I and a lot of consumers would simply like to do: I would like to be able to search for shows in the future. Far in the future. Maybe even 6 months in the future through a search interface. I'd like to be able to do this by title and by keywords such as "shows that have dragons." Then, I'd like to be able to record the shows that I find. No on-demand necessary. When I'm considering watching a show, I'd like more information (always available on the network website) about the episode. The Guide doesn't cut it with blurbs like, "The Law and Order detectives track a killer." I'd like to be able to search for that name or person a show reminds me of by opening a separate Google window. And, in the name of all that is holy, I like to be able to reach IMDB from my TV. Give me a killer remote like the Wii, a simplified browser, and some device to key-in words (not write my novel, just a few words), and I'll be a happy camper for quite a while as everyone tries to figure out on-demand video.

When TrackR raised $50 million from investors that included Amazon a year ago, the Santa Barbara startup made a big splash in the growing market for small connected dongles that you could attach to “dumb” objects like keys to keep tabs on their location. But times for the company have been challenging since then. It’s weathered layoffs; a succession of natural disasters; and its co-founders stepping away from exec roles as CEO and president. Those events took their toll: we discovered that TrackR quietly closed an additional, small amount of funding earlier this year — but on a valuation of $40 million, a 73 percent drop compared to less than a year before. Now it looks like the startup is about to enter another new phase. TrackR is launching a new brand, Adero, and sources say it is widening its focus to other uses for its tracking technology, taking TrackR beyond the circular Bluetooth fobs that form the core of its service today. TechCrunch first learned of the brand change from an anonymous tipster, who said he’d noticed a legal name change for the company on Carta, from TrackR to Adero, “to match their new focus on home solutions.” Another source said that TrackR had been talking to retailers to sell what sounds like a larger connected home solution, although the outcome of those discussions is not clear. We have also noticed that TrackR has been discounting its existing stock, a sign that it could be trying to clear the decks for whatever is coming next. Contacted for this story, a spokesperson did not comment on whether it would continue to sell products like the TrackR Bravo and Pixel — only that it would continue to support them. “TrackR will continue to support all products we’ve sold into the market,” he said. “Both the battery replacement program and the Crowd Locate network are both active.” Christian Smith, who had been the company’s president but quietly left his executive role at the startup at the end of last year, had once described a bigger vision of targeting enterprises in an IoT play, although it’s also not clear if this is part of TrackR’s plan now, or if it ever will be. Whatever the pivot will entail, it is happening at a critical time. The company quietly raised $10 million in July, at a $40 million valuation according to Pitchbook. It was a clear downround: TrackR was valued at $150 million when it raised $50 million a recently as August 2017. Investors were not disclosed in the most recent funding, but previous backers of the company, in addition to Amazon, include Foundry Group, NTT, and Revolution. “As our valuation reflects, at the start of this year, we made a conscious decision with the support of our board to build a new future instead of chasing incremental growth,” a spokesperson said of the reduced valuation. “The future we’re building revolves around helping our users proactively manage the chaos of life. We’re excited to reveal the first chapter of our new story in a few weeks.” TrackR is expected to make an official announcement of its plans towards the end of November, we understand. It declined to comment on the new brand or direction for this article. But we found a trail of records connecting TrackR to Adero dating from the middle of this year — an indication that the startup has been working on this strategy for at least six months. Starting in May 2018, Trackr registered three trademarks for Adero. One filed in May of this year describes Adero in fairly generic terms: “Telecommunications services, namely, electronic transmission of data, messages, graphics, images, audio, video and information among users relating to locating, managing, organizing, and tracking assets, devices, and objects.” Another trademark application details “cloud based software for tracking, organizing, and managing assets, objects, and devices; providing an interactive website featuring non-downloadable software that allows for the tracking, organizing, and managing of assets, objects, and devices; providing temporary use of non-downloadable cloud-based software for sharing information about, organizing, and managing networked wireless devices; providing temporary use of online non-downloadable software that shares information and data between electronic devices within a community of users; providing an on-line network environment that features technology for sharing, organizing, and managing data between wireless devices.” A third describes hardware to manage such a service. Trackr also registered separate trademarks around the same time is for a brand called “Activefield,” which might be one of the components of the Adero solution. (Its descriptions match those of the Adero trademarks.) In addition to that, a Twitter profile for Adero features a picture of Santa Barbara — the homebase of Trackr. And ownership of the Adero.com domain, meanwhile, was transferred in May 2018, although the owner is not listed publicly (not unusual with domain applications). (An older Adero that some might remember was a telecoms company that had raised nearly $97 million in the first dot-com wave but then — like so many other startups of the time — shut down.) IoT or bust Trackr’s shift speaks to some of the challenges that have hung over the market for IoT when it comes to consumer services. There is a lot of exciting potential in having all of the physical things in your world able to “speak” and for you to be able to control them by way of data, but there are also hurdles. To name just two, the market is full of competition, not just between lookalike dongles, but also between a wide range of products that are all getting connectivity built into them, removing the need for the dongle to begin with. This all makes for difficult margins. Second, although we have seen a flood of products hit the market, it’s still early days when it comes to understanding just how strong demand is for these products, and what it is that consumers ultimately will want to invest in. “Issues around interoperability, security and privacy concerns, and the cost of devices will continue to be leading inhibitors to the market’s growth,” IDC analyst Adam Wright noted in a recent report. As it happens, both TrackR and its closest competitor Tile have reportedly had disappointing sales in key periods like the holidays, and tellingly Tile has also seen a series of recent changes. In September, the company appointed a new CEO, CJ Prober, as it took on a new strategic investment from Comcast that points to its own efforts to widen its business beyond its square trackers. It also moved into subscription services, with the launch of a new device with a battery that can be replaced by way of a subscription. For its part, Tile last month said that it has sold more than 15 million of its square devices, accounting for some 95 percent of the market in the US (according to estimates from NPD), while TrackR’s says on its LinkedIn page that it has shipped 8 million devices. In the wider game of economies of scale that underpins so much of the hardware business, those figures may have been the writing on the wall for TrackR.

(Roberto Pfeil/dpa via AP, file) 1 of 2 FILE --Logo of the energy supplier Uniper at the group headquarters in Duesseldorf, Germany, July 8, 2022. (Roberto Pfeil/dpa via AP, file) BERLIN (AP) — Natural gas supplier Uniper said Tuesday that it’s in “final discussions” for Germany to nationalize the company, ramping up the government’s intervention in the gas and oil industry as Russia’s war in Ukraine provokes an energy crisis. The expansion of Uniper’s July rescue deal would feature a capital increase of 8 billion euros (dollars) that the government would finance and involve it taking a majority stake now held by Finland-based Fortum, the company said. The Finnish government has the largest stake in Fortum. Uniper’s losses have mounted as Russia has cut back natural gas supplies to European countries supporting Ukraine. Prices have soared for the fuel needed to heat homes, generate electricity and power factories, raising fears of business closures, rationing and a recession as the weather turns cold. European countries have scrambled to counter the price spiral and prioritized securing their energy supplies for winter, including by filling their natural gas storage. Just last week, Germany also moved to take control of three Russian-owned oil refineries before an embargo on Russian oil takes effect next year. ADVERTISEMENT The initial Uniper rescue package foresaw the government taking a roughly 30% stake in the company after Russia’s cutbacks forced it to buy gas at far higher prices on the market to fulfill its supply contracts. More business news Cyber Monday deals lure in consumers amid high inflation 2 Fed officials favor keeping key rate at peak through 2023 South Korea orders striking cement truckers back to work Irish watchdog fines Meta 265M euros in latest privacy case Under the prospective new deal, “it is envisaged that the federal government will obtain a significant majority stake in Uniper,” said the company, which confirmed talks on a possible nationalization last week. It added that “the final agreement has not yet been concluded.” While the government tries to stabilize Uniper, authorities say Germany’s gas storage facilities are now more than 90% full in preparation for the winter heating season despite Russia halting gas deliveries through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline. The head of the national network regulator, Klaus Mueller, tweeted late Monday that Germany had “achieved another milestone” and that the stored gas will help in managing any potential gas emergencies and will flow back into the market. He cautioned that “nevertheless, we must continue to save” gas. The government tightened storage requirements in July after Russia’s state-owned Gazprom started reducing gas supplies through Nord Stream 1, citing alleged technical problems. German officials dismissed that explanation as cover for a political decision to push up prices and create uncertainty. ADVERTISEMENT Germany introduced a requirement for storage to be 75% full by Sept. 1 and raised the targets for October and November to 85% and 95%, respectively, from 80% and 90%. The November target is roughly equal to the amount of gas that Germany used in January and February this year, when temperatures were relatively mild. Before the reductions started, Russia accounted for a bit more than a third of Germany’s natural gas supplies. Chancellor Olaf Scholz says Germany is well-placed to get through the winter with enough energy, pointing to new liquefied natural gas terminals expected to start work in the coming months, among other things. ADVERTISEMENT In a separate move last Friday, his government announced that German authorities were taking control of three Russian-owned refineries to ensure energy security. Two subsidiaries of Russian oil giant Rosneft are being put under the administration of Mueller’s Federal Network Agency. Rosneft accounts for about 12% of Germany’s oil refining capacity, importing oil worth several hundred million euros (dollars) every month, according to the government, which said the trusteeship was initially due to last for six months. The network regulator already was put in charge of Gazprom’s former German subsidiary in April, a decision that the government said was necessary to bring “order to the conditions” at the company after the Kremlin-controlled parent company abruptly cut ties with the unit.

(Viktor Drachev/AFP/Getty Images) Russia demands surrender of Ukrainian warshipsRussia demanded Monday that two Ukrainian warships in Crimea surrender or be stormed, a Ukrainian military spokesman said, as Russians tightened their stranglehold on the Black Sea peninsula. Four Russian Navy ships were blocking a Ukrainian anti-submarine ship and a command ship in Sevastopol harbor. Russia also issued an ultimatum of 5 a.m. Tuesday for Ukrainian forces in Crimea to surrender or face attack, the Interfax news agency quoted a Ukrainian Defense Ministry source as saying. A Russian Defense Ministry spokesman in Moscow, Vladimir Anikin, denied that any ultimatum had been issued to Ukraine. Russian troops controlled all Ukrainian border posts Monday in Crimea, as well as military facilities and a key ferry terminal. There were fears in Kiev that Russia would march into parts of eastern Ukraine where ethnic Russians are a majority. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in Geneva, "This is a question of defending our citizens and compatriots, ensuring human rights, especially the right to life." U.S. and other Western leaders were formulating a response to Russia's aggression, including a possible boycott of a June G-8 meeting in Sochi and the imposition of economic sanctions. South African Paralympic star Oscar Pistorius, accused of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, attends the opening day of his trial with his brother at the High Court in Pretoria on Monday. (Herman Verwey/AFP/Getty Images) Pistorius' neighbor heard screams first, shots laterAdvertisement Oscar Pistorius' neighbor testified Monday at his murder trial in Pretoria, South Africa, that she heard a woman's "bloodcurdling" screams before she heard four gunshots that killed the double-amputee Olympic runner's girlfriend. The testimony of Michelle Burger, who lives about 200 yards from Pistorius' house, casts doubt on Pistorius' claim that he killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp by mistake, shooting her through a bathroom door thinking she was an intruder. Chinese mourners light candles Sunday at the scene of the terror attack at the main train station in Kunming, in southwest China's Yunnan Province. (AFP/Getty Images) Prosecutors say he shot her intentionally after a loud argument. Burger also testified that she heard a man's voice crying for help before the gunshots, which doesn't fit with any theory of the case. The runner's defense attorney, Barry Roux, suggested on cross-examination that what she heard instead of gunshots was the sound of Pistorius breaking down the locked bathroom door with a cricket bat. Burger said she could not mistake gunshots for the sound of a cricket bat on a door. Roux also suggested that the only voice she heard screaming was that of Pistorius, but Burger said there was "do doubt" she heard two people screaming. Also Monday, defense lawyer Kenny Oldwadge read a statement in which Pistorius relates his version of events. Actor John Travolta introduces ... er, we're not sure whom he introduced ... at the Oscars in Hollywood Sunday. (Kevin Winter/Getty Images) He says in the early morning hours of Feb. 14, 2013, he went out on his balcony to retrieve some fans. He then heard a window open in the bathroom and assumed it was an intruder because he thought Steenkamp was in bed with him. He approached the bathroom door and fired four times, killing Steenkamp.China arrests last suspects in train station slashingChina has captured the three remaining suspects from a horrific knife attack at a train station that killed 29 and wounded 143, state media said Monday. Police said the attack in Kunming was carried out by Uighur separatists from far western Xinjiang, even though it is 900 miles away. In the assault Saturday evening, six men and two women invaded a train station with long knives, some as long as 20 inches, and began randomly slashing people. The Xinhua News Agency cited the Ministry of Public Security as saying the "terrorist gang" was led by a person identified as Abdurehim Kurban. Police shot and killed four of the attackers and captured an injured female suspect before arresting the last three. Xinhua did not say what ethnicity the eight were or how the last three suspects were identified and captured.And the worst Oscar performance goes to ...The Academy Awards produced some head-scratching moments, and while the answers to some questions emerged Monday, others mysteries remained. For example: What in the &%#* is wrong with John Travolta? His only job was to introduce Idina Menzel to sing "Let It Go" from "Frozen," and he didn't just mispronounce her name, he gave her a new one: "Adela Dazeem." Kim Novak, the star of Hitchcock's "Vertigo," also caused widespread commentary on the plastic appearance of her face, which appeared unable to smile, and on what the Daily Beast called her "cringe-inducing banter" with Matthew McConaughey. But give her a break, she is 81. Best actress Cate Blanchett mystified viewers when she addressed Julia Roberts and said, "Julia, hashtag suckit." When asked about this in the press room afterward, all she would say was, "It happened in the bar with Ms. Roberts. And that's all I'm prepared to say."

News broke Friday evening that the Minister for Justice & Attorney General made an order, in effect, banning The Opposition documentary from screening at the Papua New Guinea Human Rights Film Festival in Port Moresby. The film scrutinises the elusive luxury estate being developed in Port Moresby by the Paga Hill Development Company. What baffles most observers is that the festival organisers – the UN, Transparency International PNG, US Government, etc – complied with this dubious state-corporate demand. One of The Opposition’s Producers Rebecca Barry posted on social media the unconvincing rationale for the ban provided by festival organisers: At 6.12pm last night, we received an email from the programmers of the festival stating that the Minister of Justice and Attorney General is stopping the screening of the film. The programmers gave the following reason: “The Opposition” film is subject to a court proceeding ‘OS No. 365 of 2017’ and is awaiting a decision from the National Court. Under these circumstances we have been advised that we are unable to screen the film in the rest of the Film Festival program.”. Festival organisers then informed the public about their decision to uphold the government ban via Facebook (ironically the very platform which the O’Neill government once threatened to black-out). Yesterday, the Justice Minister & Attorney General mounted a full page defence of his ban which was generously splashed on p.4 of the Post-Courier. He claims the decision was precipitated by a letter from lawyers representing the property development outfit, Paga Hill Development Company (PNG) Limited, ‘advising that screening of the said film may amount to contempt of the National Court in os 365 of 2017’. Paga Hill Development Company is a corporate vehicle closely linked to the Justice Minister’s cabinet colleagues William Duma and Michael Nali. Despite its chequered past, PHDC has received full backing from a Prime Minister whose own track record in the real-estate sector was lambasted in two Commissions of Inquiry. Note the ambiguity in the Justice Minister’s defence. He doesn’t cite any court order or injunction that would bring the festival in contempt of Court. A rather critical requirement. Instead the Minister makes a vague reference to a court case, and his government’s supposed respect for the law, a respect that is not actually demonstrated in practice. To be clear – there is no active case against The Opposition in the National Court of PNG, nor has there ever been. The case mentioned above refers to the proceedings between the Paga Hill Development Company and director Hollie Fifer. These proceedings were filed over a year ago and been left dormant since that time. It is disingenuous and inaccurate to suggest that these proceedings are ‘active’ let alone suggest that this case includes The Opposition film. The film has screened unencumbered in other parts of PNG. The last minute ban on todays screening has raised many questions. We can only assume that the high profile nature of this festival and with APEC around the corner that this is a film that the government does not want the PNG public to see. This raises the question, what is it that the O’Neill government doesn’t want the Port Moresby public to see? The Opposition centres on one community’s struggle against a team of foreign executives who are looking to transform a quite slice of the Port Moresby harbour at Paga Hill – once a National Park – into a luxury estate, that will cater largely to the big end of town. The same end being treated to Masarati Quattroporte cars by the O’Neill government. The Paga Hill Estate development is spearheaded by the Paga Hill Development Company (PNG) Limited (PHDC). PHDC is led by Gudmundur Fridriksson, while its Chief Operating Officer (COO) is George Hallit, men who have run companies censured for malfeasance in a wide range of public inquiries (see Appendix A for a full list). Graph: An Auditor-General/Public Accounts Committee investigation uncovered an illegal contract awarded by the Public Curator’s Office to a company Fridriksson owned with the Acting Public Curator They have now disappeared from the company’s share registry, along with PHDC’s most prominent local backer, Michael Nali, the current Works Minister, and close mate of the Prime Minister. Legal ownership of all shares in PHDC reside with the developer’s lawyer, Stanley Liria. Because there is no requirement for companies in PNG to publicly declare individuals with a beneficial interest, who may not be the same as the legal owners of shares, we have no way of knowing all the individuals who could have a stake in this venture. Though a PNGi investigation revealed that State Enterprises Minister, William Duma, has enjoyed a beneficial interest in the Paga Hill Estate, a fact attested by a senior PHDC executive. The plot thickens in 2016. Curiously at a time when PHDC was apparently owned by two PNG citizens, Michael Nali and Stanley Liria, it applied for foreign certification. All companies that are 50% foreign owned must be certified before they can lawfully conduct business in PNG. This foreign certification request by PHDC in 2016 provokes further questions over the actual beneficial owners of this enterprise. Then there is the ‘small’ matter of the land deals that have seen PHDC acquire this prize piece of Port Moresby real-estate at Paga Hill. Initially an Urban Development Lease was issued to the Paga Hill Land Holding Company Limited in 1997 when the land was zoned open space. This violation of the Land Act 1996 s67, was passed off as a trivial matter by the leaseholder who observed: The application process for an Urban Development Lease, which would normally be required by the Land Act 1996 and the Physical Planning Act of 1989, has been altered in order to provide for the best development outcome for the Paga Hill site. None of the requirements of the existing process will be excluded, rather the timing of application and approval has been altered to provide for a more flexible and intuitive approach to the development of the site. Contravening the law of PNG is not a trivial matter at all, a point well made by the Public Accounts Committee. Mysteriously the lease then passed to PHDC in 2000, an entirely different corporate vehicle linked to the Land Holding Company by one shareholder, Fidelity Management Pty Ltd. Fidelity Management was owned by a Western Australian accountancy firm, that tellingly shared a registered address with Gudmundur Fridriksson. When the 99 year lease was issued to PHDC in 2000, it was a 100% Australian owned vehicle. There is no record it was certified at the time to conduct business in PNG (foreign certification was acquired some 16 years later). So the 99 year lease was issued at a time when PHDC could not lawfully conduct business in PNG under the Investment Promotion Act 1992 s32(4). When the Public Accounts Committee scrutinised the deal, they accused those involved of securing the land through ‘corrupt dealings’ and pointed to a further list of illegalities underpinning the state lease. All of which led Dame Carol Kidu to rally behind the Paga Hill community when they launched a campaign to expose PHDC and its corporate past. She was outraged by the means through which PHDC acquired the land. Eyebrows raised when Dame Carol later joined with the developer in a consultancy deal worth A$178,000, to her company CK Consultancy Limited. Case: The Supreme Court judgement in Carol Anne Kidu v Hollie Fifer [2016] NSWSC 982 (8 July 2016) sets out the consultancy deal. Kidu then sued The Opposition‘s Director, Hollie Fifer, with PHDC putting up A$250,000 in security to the Australian Courts. Kidu suffered a resounding defeat in the New South Wales Supreme Court. In a damning verdict Judge Rein, observed at paragraph 65 in his judgement: When one views the extreme weaknesses of the Plaintiff’s [Dame Carol Kidu] claim that she did not know on and from 7 March 2012 that Ms Fifer was hoping to make a documentary for public exhibition rather than a student assignment (whatever its topic) the impression gained is that the Plaintiff is prepared, for her own benefit and that of PHDC, to say anything to stop the footage taken of her by Ms Fifer being broadcast. Given the elite interests bound up with this development it is perhaps not that surprising the O’Neill Government did not want The Opposition to screen in Port Moresby, as an increasingly enraged city populous await the chutzpah of APEC – where wealth and pomp will be flaunted in the face of the everyday citizen’s struggle to survive in a city where the cost of living is outrageous. What is surprising, at least at first glance, is that the festival organisers have not published a formal protest condemning this move by the O’Neill Government. After all, the UNDP’s Head came out in support of the developer, in a misinformed public speech lauding the project, while PHDC’s CEO looked on like the proverbial cat that got the cream. Another festival organiser is the US Embassy. It is an organisation that has also apparently allowed their respected name to be caught up in promotional materials featured on PHDC’s website. To all this it might be observed that the human rights film festival aired a fairly transparent promotional piece for the developer in its 2014 programme, entitled ‘Humanitarian Resettlement in Papua New Guinea’. The film’s description is telling: Gudmundur Fridriksson celebrates the achievement of Paga Hill Development Company’s vision for a harmonious relocation solution for the on-site settlement community at the official handover ceremony at Tagua. The United Nations (UN) has hailed Paga Hill Development Company’s resettlement model as a significant achievement as it sets a positive precedent in PNG and the broader region. Surely it is only fair a genuinely independent film on the same issue is shown in 2018, without impeding on freedom of speech. Apparently not! It appears for now the Port Moresby public will have to be satisfied with the trailer for The Opposition. Responsibility lies with the festival organisers to condemn this move by the O’Neill government, which comes in the aftermath of a range of efforts by the government to curtail domestic dissent and ban foreign critics. Organisations such as the United Nations, Transparency International and the United States government, wield immense institutional power that shields them from the forms of violent retribution ordinary citizens face for opposing the interests of senior power-brokers. They must exercise this leverage in solidarity with the grass-roots. Continued silence will speak volumes about where their real loyalties lie.

We thank you that through your words you have given something of your very self to help us be your disciples, your children, who stand firm in faith and trust throughout our lives, whatever our lot may be. Help us in these times, and when days grow difficult and full of grief, hold your people securely in your hand. Help us to be firmly rooted in faith, however dark it is on earth.

Nexternal's enhanced integration with MailChimp's Ecommerce360 provides game-changing marketing power to all of Nexternal's merchant clients. Every 10 minutes Nexternal pushes all customer and order data to MailChimp, which then provides the basis for segmenting powerful automated emails to customers based upon what they bought. In addition to creating this automated revenue-driving machine, the pushed sales data also provides merchants with better measures for the success of their campaigns based on actual sales resulting from their campaigns. Need help envisioning the power of this remarkable functionality? Imagine that everyone who orders a silver ring from your site, 30 days later, automatically gets an email with silver-care instructions, and a coupon for the sonic jewelry cleaner that you sell. Or, imagine that everyone who purchases a skirt on your site, 10 days later, automatically gets an email for a few blouses that go with that skirt, and 10 days after that, they automatically get an email with a 20% off coupon for any of those blouses, but only if they haven't already purchased one of them in the meantime. Or, let's say you don't do promos, say you're a no-discount wine brand, then imagine that every time someone purchases wine from you, they get an automatic email recommending other wines in your portfolio that they'd probably enjoy, based upon their palate as demonstrated by their purchase. Or, imagine if you offer a wine, coffee, olive oil or some other club, that an hour after joining the club online, your new club member gets an automated welcome email. Or an hour after someone buys something on your site but doesn't join the club, they get a special offer enticing them to join the club that day. And finally, imagine that you can automatically reward your customers every time they reach a certain aggregate spend amount, so, for example, for every $500 they spend, they get a 15% discount off their next order. Excited? The details are summed up in this short video: As you set up your automated campaigns, be sure to think through your auto-responder strategy carefully to avoid putting the same customer in too many auto-responder segments at the same time. In other words, you still want to manage your touch points. Although these aren't entirely predictable in timing or frequency, you should consider these auto-responders a part of your overall marketing strategy. Also, depending upon the nature of your auto-responders and the nature of your product catalog, be sure to schedule periodic reviews of your automated campaigns to ensure that promoted products are still in stock, emails are still relevant, and that they are getting results! No sense in continuing to send an email that's not working, when you can replace it with one that might. Bottom line, this powerful automated marketing is sure to increase your bottom line! Don't wait to get the order data flowing – with just a few clicks in your Nexternal account you can turn on the faucet. Even if you don't already use MailChimp, we recommend opening a free account and start getting that order data flowing now, so it's there when you're ready to start using this strong revenue driver.

Canada recovers to win bronze at women's world hockey championship - InfoNews Canadian players react after the IIHF Women's Ice Hockey World Championships bronze medal match Canada and Russia in Espoo, Finland, Sunday, April 14, 2019. Canada beat Russia by 7-0 to receive the bronze medals. (Mikko Stig/Lehtikuva via AP) April 14, 2019 - 11:04 AM ESPOO, Finland - The Canadians heard 'O Canada' after their final game of the women's world hockey championship, yet nobody standing on the blue-line was smiling. "Mentally, probably the toughest game that most of us have ever played in I think," captain Brianne Jenner said. "We did what we had to do to make sure we left this tournament with a medal. "Once the game was over, it was a bit of that disappointment still. It's going to be a tough one for us to get over." A 4-2 semifinal loss to Finland on Saturday sent the host country to Sunday's gold-medal game against the United States. It's International Ice Hockey Federation custom to play the winning team's anthem after every game. The last time it played for Canadian women after a gold-medal game was in 2012. Canada controlled Sunday's game from the outset and outshot the Russians 41-6. Head coach Perry Pearn gave more playing time to young defenders Jamie Bourbonnais and Micah Zandee-Hart, as well as forward Loren Gabel, who made their world-championship debut in Espoo. Down to 11 forwards because of injuries to Marie-Philip Poulin and Blayre Turnbull, defender Laura Fortino played shifts at forward until she too was injured in the third period and couldn't finish the game. "We now have what I would call a legitimate natural goalscorer," Pearn said. Bourbonnais, Natalie Spooner, Rebecca Johnston, Jamie Lee Rattray and Erin Ambrose also scored, while Sarah Nurse recorded two assists. Genevieve Lacasse picked up the shutout. The motto "We Are Accountable" was posted on Canada's dressing-room wall during the tournament. "Coming off such a low (Saturday), we really had to find energy today and bring that," Spooner said. "I think in the game we did a lot of good things and we brought that energy. "It's nice to be going home with a medal. It's just not the medal we wanted." Canada's blue-collar game crystallized in a 6-1 win over Finland to cap the group stage and also 5-0 victory over Germany in the quarterfinal. Special teams went cold and Finland's shots from the point were not blocked. Pearn, an assistant coach in the NHL for 21 years, stepped behind Canada's bench prior to this season. His one-year contract over, he was unsure about his future with the team. "At times in this tournament, I think we played extremely well to the point where we could challenge the U.S. in a gold-medal game, if we do the things we have to do," Pearn said. "What I'd love to do is coach this group full time for a year and be able to make the changes. "No changes are made easily, but I think in a way there are a lot of things to be done in a short period of time if you can work with them every day. The hardest part is working from event to event. That's the essence of where the Canadian women's game is right now. You have to accept that as a coach." Poulin reinjured a problematic left knee in Canada's third game of the tournament. She and Ann-Sophie Bettez, making her world championship debut at age 31, weren't able to test the offensive chemistry they had as linemates on their club team. Turnbull didn't play Sunday after she was pushed head-first into the boards by a Finnish defender in the semifinal. Of the 10 countries in this year's tournament, Canada's roster was impacted the most when the players learned upon arrival that the Canadian Women's Hockey League was folding. Eighteen of Canada's 23 players had to push aside concerns about were they will play next season. "We did a really good job of parking it," Ambrose said. "It wasn't discussed at all during the tournament." "Hopefully it can happen quick that we can get somewhere to play, but it's definitely going to be a process, and I think all the players are united in that," Spooner said. "I think if we're all united, then we're going to get what we want and what we deserve."

What is claimed is: 1. Returnable plastic crate provided on at least one surface with an ink-only label consisting of (a) at least one ink-only layer and (b) an activatable adhesive layer, which label is removable from the surface without destructive treatment of the said surface, said ink-only label being adhered to said at least one surface by the activation of said activatable adhesive layer, said label being readily removable during a crate washing operation, said adhesive layer being heat activatable and having an initial tack temperature of not more than 90� C. 2. Crate according to claim 1, wherein a transparent, protective coating has been applied over said ink-only label. 3. Crate according to claim 1, wherein the adhesive layer loses its adhesion when treated with an aqueous alkaline solution. 4. Crate according to claim 1, wherein at least part of the surface consists of polyethylene. 5. Crate according to claim 1, wherein said adhesive layer and ink-only layer are coalesced. 6. Crate according to claim 1, wherein the ink is a polymeric ink. 7. Crate according to claim 1, wherein the adhesive is a urethane-acrylic adhesive. 8. Crate according to claim 2, wherein the protective coating is based on an acrylic wax. 9. Crate according to claim 5, wherein a protective layer has been applied over said ink-only label. 10. Crate according to claim 6, wherein the polymeric ink is a vinyl-based ink. 11. Crate according to claim 6, wherein the polymeric ink is an acrylic-based ink. 12. A returnable plastic crate according to claim 1, wherein said ink-only layer and said adhesive layer are each of materials based on acrylate polymers. 13. A returnable plastic crate according to claim 1, wherein said crate is made of polyethylene. 14. A returnable plastic crate according to claim 1, wherein said adhesive layer has an initial tack temperature of not more than 80� C. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a returnable plastic crate provided with at least one ink only label, to a process for applying an ink only label to a polymeric surface and to a system for using returnable crates. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION These and other objects are achieved by the returnable plastic crate according to the present invention, which is provided on at least one surface with an ink only label that is removable by caustic washing, said label being adhered to said at least one surface of said crate by an activated adhesive layer. In this respect the term �ink only label� is used to define a label that does not have a paper or plastic backing, but which comprises an image layer of ink, which is directly applied to a surface. Quite often the surface remains at least partly visible through the image layer. An ink only label may conveniently be applied to a surface by image transfer, using a reverse printed label. The present invention also provides the possibility to use the label for scanning possibilities, for example by including a UPC (bar) code therein, which code may be used to define the recipient, the contents or any other information that is suitable. The system also allows the producer to reduce the stock of crates, as it is no longer necessary to keep stock crates of all brands or types. The system according to the present invention makes it possible for a producer to have only one type of crate for each type of material, for example bottle, irrespective of the brand of the material. This makes it possible to reduce tie stock of crates tremendously. Of course the reductions would be even greater if the whole industry in a country or continent would decide to use the system. According to a preferred embodiment a transparent protective coating is present on top of the ink only label. This coating improves the resistance of the label against environmental influences. Generally the material of the protective coating is compatible with the material of the ink. More preferably all materials, adhesive, ink and protective coating are based on acrylate polymers. In order to improve the durability of the label further, it may be advantageous that after application of the label (and the coating) one or more treatments are given. These treatments provide a coalescence of the materials of the various layers, resulting in improved service life, however, without deteriorating the wash-off behavior. FIGS. 7A and 7B show graphs relating to crate speed varied with roller cylinder pressure and temperature. Upon application, all of the printed materials are transferred from the silicone release coated film substrate. The printed ink materials are vinyl or acrylic resin based, colored with temperature and ultra violet stable pigments. In the case of white ink, titanium dioxide is the pigment of choice. Pigment particle size ranges from three (3) to five (5) μm. The printed adhesive is a urethane modified acrylic with an initial tack temperature of 175� F. (80� C.). This initial tack temperature is very important to the plastic labelling process because it determines the required plastic surface temperature at the time of transfer. With the particular plastic container being labelled, there is no support of the inside surface, hence it is desired to maintain the plastic below 200� F. (93� C.) to avoid distortion of the surface by reaching its point of deformation during the label transfer. The label application method will now be described in the order of peogression. FIG. 2 shows the technique of surface treatment and temerature stabilization. For adhesion of two polymeric materials to occur, many factors must be connsidered such as cleanliness, pressure, temperature, contact time, surface roughness, movement during bonding and adhesive film thickness. An additional important consideration is the critical surface tension. The commonly accepted method of measuring the critical surface tension is with a Dyne solution, which is well known. For most adhesive applications the critical surface tension of polyethylene is 31 Dynes per centimetre. A series of tests were performed which demonstrated for best adhesion of the adhesive previously described to the polyethylene surface, a treatment level of 60 to 70 Dynes per centimetre was necessary. Further testing of commercially available equipment showed that flame treatment optimized both capital cost, operating cost and time required to achieve the required critical surface treatment. For the adhesive to achieve and maintain tack quickly it is necessary to heat the polyethylene container before the label adhesive is in contact with it. To avoid deforming the container, it is desirable not to heat the surface over 200� F. (93� C.). As the surface temperature leaving the flame treatment is approximately 125� F. (52� C.), it is necessary to heat the surface approximately 75� F. (24� C.). Here again, many options are available for heating. Hot air, additional flame heaters, gas fired infra-red panels and electric ceramic panels were all tested and found to be either too slow or difficult to control. It was found that an electrically heated flat fused quartz emitter plate with zonal band control for localized label transfer would provide maximum free air transmission of infra-red energy without the effects of ambient environmental factors. With an emissivity of 0.9 for polyethylene a desired temperature of between 1650� F. (900� C.) to 1725� F. (940� C.) will emit the most efficient wavelength (2.5 to 3.2 μm) of infra-red energy for peak absorption. The unit tested was rated at 60 watts per square inch. The time to heat the polyethylene surface the necessary 75� .F (24� C.) was 4.5 seconds at a distance from the emitter plate of 2.5 centimetres. FIG. 3 illustrates the method of label application whereby the printed ink materials are transferred from the polypropylene film substrate to the polyethylene surface utilizing the tactile characteristics of the heat activated adhesive to overcome the bond of the ink layer 14 to the corona treated silicone coating 12. The factors that influence transfer are time to contact, temperature during contact and film tension during contact particularly tension on the film after ink release. Pressure roll diameter is also a factor but not a variable. For this application the roll diameters are 38 mm. The rollers were made of silicone rubber over a steel core, with rubber durometer ranging from 50 Shore A to 80 Shore A. It should be noted that distortion (flattening) of the rubber roller is less at the higher durometer, consequently the contact area is less and the transfer pressure is greater. This is important at the higher line speeds where contact time is inimized. Thus a crate moving 18.3 meters per minute (60 feet per minute) past a roller of 38 mm diameter will have a contact time of 1 millisecond per 1 degree of roller rotation where there is no roller distortion. Roller pressure is provided by an air cylinder activated by a conventional solenoid valve which in turn is operated by two (2) proximity switches, one to advance the roller and the other to retract. Other means, such as mechanical linkage are obvious and will not listed here. The pressure is distributed across the length of the cylinder and for this particular ink, transfer ranges from 12 to 17 kilograms per centimetre of roller length. See Figure A. Thus the invention results in the film being advanced at exactly the same rate as the crate is moving past the roller by virtue of the heat activated adhesive adhering to the high energy crate surface. The pressure roller, which rotates freely, maintains the same tangential speed as the linear speed of the film and crate. Thus the ink is transferred completely and without distortion. For purposes of fast and complete adhesion the pressure roller is molded to a hollow core. Suspended within the hollow core is a resistance heater operated through a controller. The heating element, rated at 500 W, will maintain the roller surface at any predetermined temperature. For purposes of the invention, the roller surface temperature range between 250� F. and 370� F. (120� C. and 190� C.). See Figure B.

Jane Austen's Heroes and Scoundrels Ranked A few days ago I did my blog post over ranking Jane Austen's Heroines. I had a lot of fun picking and choosing which female characters would go where in the list. I have decided to do the same thing today, but with Austen's men. Now, like the blog post about her heroines, I will only be talking about the main love interests in the stories. Which means that there will be more characters listed here than in the one about heroines. Basically, if they were interested in the main character or the main character was interested in them (or if everyone thought they liked each other *cough* Frank Churchill *cough*) they ended up on this list. 14. Mr. Willoughby: Breaking one of our main characters hearts? Check. Getting someone pregnant and then abandoning them? Check. Going after a rich woman because he got disinherited for knocking up a girl? Check. Willoughby is one of those Austen characters that does a complete 180. At the beginning, you are thinking that he is a good character that the main heroine would be lucky to end up with and in the end, it turns out he's the lowest of the low. 13. George Wickham: Picking between Wickham and Willoughby for the worst Jane Austen Male character proved harder than I'd thought. However, Wickham is slightly less awful than Willoughby is. Still, he's a terrible character. He seduces and almost elopes with Georgiana Darcy, and then successfully and seduces Lydia Bennet. He's also a liar and I cannot stand him at all. In fact, Wickham and Willoughby should really probably be tied on this list. They are that awful. 12. Henry Crawford: https://media.giphy.com/media/IoE793OWE9Jyo/giphy.gif Henry Crawford is the brother of Mary Crawford and when the two of them move into the neighborhood it turns the lives of the main characters in Mansfield Park upside down. Henry starts off the novel by flirting with the Bertram sisters, including Maria who is engaged to be married. He then goes on to decide that he is going to make Fanny Price fall in love with him and does everything in his power to get her to love him back. It doesn't work however and he again turns his sights on Maria Bertram only for the world to find out about their affair. You can see why I don't like him, right? 11. John Thorpe: This man possesses no manners whatsoever and is just downright annoying. He also decides he's in love with Catherine Morland when he doesn't even know her and then does all sorts of things to keep her to himself. He also assumes she is going to be rich and only pursues her for that reason. 10. Mr. Collins: Mr. William Collins might be the most annoying and slightly disturbing character Jane Austen ever wrote, but he isn't a bad guy. Sure he's socially awkward and doesn't know how to propose to a girl, but I have to believe that his heart is in the right place. Plus, he provides a good chunk of the humor found in Pride and Prejudice. 9. Frank Churchill: Sure Frank Churchill acts as if he loves Emma so no one will suspect that he is engaged to another girl, and he was immature quite a bit of the novel, but no one can deny that he brought a lot of fun to Emma. Plus, he seemed to grow up a lot by the end of the book and character development is always something I can get behind. 8. Captain Wentworth: Couldn't really get into Persuasion, but this man's love letter writing skills are on point. I have a thing for letters so if you can write them and well I will probably like you as a person. 7. Colonel Brandon: https://media.giphy.com/media/OuRQXTZ7b8wSs/giphy.gif I love Colonel Brandon. He spends like 99% of the novel just being a good guy in love with a girl that refuses to look at him as anything other than an old man. Of course, he can be a little rough around the edges, but he still ends up with Marianne in the end. 6. Edmund Bertram: Don't get me wrong, I love Edmund Bertram, but he spent over 75% of the novel not using his common sense. Still, he's a loyal friend to Fanny Price in Mansfield Park and he treats everyone with the respect they deserve. He also doesn't agree with doing anything his conscience tells him is wrong. He's a good guy, but I don't like him as much as the rest of the men in this group. 5. Mr. Bingley: Mr. Bingley is like an adorable puppy dog. He's nice and while I didn't find him to be an exceptionally interesting character he is genuinely a good guy and I will like that any day. 4. Edward Ferrars: https://media.giphy.com/media/E1y9qjCiwdn1e/giphy.gif Edward Ferrars is a sweetheart. He's kind, loyal and literally seems to have no faults. He even keeps an engagement with a woman he doesn't love anymore for the honor instead of being with Elinor who he really loved. Of course, in the end, Elinor and he end up together which definitely made my heart happy. 3. Mr. Darcy: https://media.giphy.com/media/oMkpLAjTbXmAU/giphy.gif Mr. Darcy is amazing not because of who he is at the beginning of the Pride and Prejudice but because of who he is at the end. Jane Austen has some great character development in her stories and Mr. Darcy is no exception. However, he has to win the award for " How to Offend the Love of Your Life Through a Proposal in Which You Offend Her and Judge Her Family." Still, he learned from his mistakes and strives to make things right. 2. Henry Tilney: https://media.giphy.com/media/gNPKevWaJoBHO/giphy.gif I love Henry Tilney from Northanger Abbey. He is definitely the most fun and sarcastic of the rest of Austen's leading men, but he s also kind and loyal. He even goes all the way to Catherine's home after his father kicks her out for not being as rich as he thought she was. He's just a great character. I definitely like him for his sarcasm though. 1. Mr. Knightley: https://media.giphy.com/media/1VZFZqjRFqALK/giphy.gif I don't know why I like Mr. George Knightley so much, but I do. As some of you already know Emma is my favorite Austen novel. Now there isn't anything so extraordinary about Knightley, but he is just a good guy. He's selfless, kind. doesn't think less of people who aren't in the same social class as he, and he keeps Emma in check. He's truly like Emma's best guy friend helping her while also trying to lead her in the right direction at the same time. He's just a great character! I hope that you all enjoyed my ranking of Jane Austen's Male Characters. I had a lot of fun writing this list and figuring out where I wanted the characters to go. I now want to know, do you agree or disagree with my list and why? Please put your responses in the comments down below.

Five ingredient deliciousness in these Chocolate Covered Raspberry Coconut Truffles – so simple but so tasty! There are a few combinations with chocolate that I really love. One is the combo of chocolate and raspberry. Can you guess the others? Well, I'll tell you – chocolate and strawberry and chocolate and orange. But today I want to share this delicious recipe for chocolate covered raspberry coconut truffles. Try to say that 5 times fast – Lol! You know, sometimes simple is just as good as complicated. This is one of those recipes. Simple to make but still yummy and actually even healthy. My kind of recipe for sure!

Keep stirring as the chips are melting until you get a very smooth consistency and then turn off the heat Place each chocolate coated ball back on a parchment lined pan, remove the toothpicks and put them all back in the freezer for an hour or so After they're frozen, remove from the pan and put in an airtight container and store in the freezer When you take these little chocolate covered gems out of the freezer, they will most likely be quite hard. Just give them a minute or two and they should be good to go – in your mouth, that is! 😉

Ancient Egyptian Forum • View topic - I need info on Nefertiti, does anyone know some good sites?? I need info on Nefertiti, does anyone know some good sites?? PooheadXII Joined:Tue Jan 10, 2006 1:44 pm It's for a report and I can't find much good for it. I need this info:: -Dates the pharaoh ruled -Location of the head bust of her -Major achievements -Major events during reign If you could find any of these, I'd be so grateful!! (: Do a Google search for Nefertiti. All sorts of sites will be available, and I'm sure you'll find the information you need on one or more of them. Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2006 2:27 pm I can't find the dates when she ruled. Can someone find where her bust was found? Posted: Wed Jan 11, 2006 9:37 am She ruled in the Armana period, as Akhataten's queen. Since it was so long ago, and the fact that we know next to nothing about the Armana period, any 'exact dates' you find will be a rough estimate, and therefore lies, or useless. Her bust is in Germany, in the Berlin museum. I suggest going to http://queen-nefertiti.com/ for a bit of a back-story on this. We think she was married to Akhetaten and birthed Tutahnkaten, but it might have also been Tye that did that. We don't know for sure, and anyone that says they do is a liar. She didn't really do much but get overrated. Do a google search, because I don't feel like getting into what she actually 'did' do. But, like Osiris II said, do a google search. http://www.google.com/ It will have links to what you need to know. Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2006 4:00 am I went to Berlin during summer 2004 and I went to the Egyptian Museum (I would like to write it in German, but I don't know how many of you know it! ); it was a real surprise to find her bust that welcomed you! I don't know if in the future this will still be there: I heard that Hawass wanted the bust come back to Egypt... Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2006 9:13 am He can want it all he wants, but the Germans took it out legally. Even if it wasn't the right thing to do, they have permission to keep it! Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2006 6:20 am I'm not doubting of what German people did, Unas; what I'm angry for is that Hawass wants each Egyptian treasure come back there... I think each museum in Europe and abroad should have objects of each culture; why not the Egyptian one? Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2006 3:12 pm Hawass seems so puerile from a distance - there are so many reasons why he should not be allowed to steal back the Rosetta stone, bust of Nefertiti and other such treasures: 1) The Egyptian Museum can barely cope with what it already has - providing yet more relics would mean putting their conservation at risk. 2) The Egyptian Museum already has three times as much as it was originally intended to contain, and predates the discovery of Tut's tomb in construction date - objects are strewn haphazardly with little care as to their survival. Giving Hawass more objects would merely mean putting others in Cairo into storage to decay. Until Cairo museum is updated, I would not consider returning the stone or bust. This sort of merges with point 1) 3) The modern Egyptians cannot claim that the relics are 'a part of their history' as they are not the modern descendants of the Ancient Egyptians. The Arabic peoples arrived in Egypt much later. 4) The relics protected by England and Germany are much more accesible than many of the Egyptian objects - and are also kept with much greater care and reverence, and in far better facilities. 5) The Egyptian relics need to be distributed worldwide - they continue to incite interest and excitement amoungst everyone. Returning any one relic of importance to Egypt would lay the path for the rest to be returned, and resultedly many people would not be given the chance to see the wonders of the Ancient Egyptians for themselves. 6) Hawass comes across generally as being a pompous, arrogant, unscientific, and annoying zealot. Even if many people refute this vehemently, he certainly does have a large number of critics (many formerly members of the SCA), and upon becoming head of that organisation, he fired all of them from office. Tut Tut. Posted: Tue Dec 05, 2006 8:32 am I agree that Hawass is arrogant and that the treasures of Egypt should not all be stored in one place. They are part of world heritage and everyone has a ght to enjoy them and a duty to protect them. By the way PooheadXII, there is also a rather spurious suggestion that Nefertiti was the biblical Jezebel. I am not personally convinced, but it is interesting and fairly inventive. You should be able to find site on this in a google search , but check the facts where possible. Posted: Tue Dec 05, 2006 11:33 am Just noticed where it says the bust was removed legaly - I heard that at the time the Egyptians got the best half of what was found - The Germans covered the bust in plaster of Paris - to 'protect' it & did not tell the Egyptians so when the Egyptians chose they thought the Nefertiti bust was only a roughly worked piece of limestone & took the 'better' one. Posted: Thu Jan 11, 2007 3:21 pm Nefertiti only gave birth to daughters.....It is believed that Kiya, a secondary wife, gave birth to Tutankhaten..... In response to PooheadXII- I cannot give you any good websites, but I can suggest a book...(I am prob too late...) I believe the title is Finding Nefertiti...? Something along those lines.....It's by a woman by the name of Joanna Fletcher....(I could have misspelled. I am going purely by memory and do not have the book with me...) I just looked at the date. Nevermind. (And she was Royal Great Wife....Though some believe she ruled as Per-Aa.... ) Posted: Thu Jan 11, 2007 3:22 pm Sorry to double post, but yeah. That is what is happened....lol....No way they would have gotten it out of the counrty otherwise.....lol

HRT: Matić captures first judo senior world title for Croatia 21:50 / 11.06.2021. June 11, 2021, 10 months ago Croatia's Barbara Matić made history on Thursday when she won the gold medal at the World Judo Championships in Budapest, Hungary. The 26-year-old Croatian defeated Ono Yoko of Japan in the 70kg category final to win a senior title for Croatia for the first time ever in the sport. "I think this is the achievement I've been training for for 20 years. I'm going to remember this one. Not that my previous achievements were unworthy, but this is the crown of everything, along with the Olympics, which are coming up," Matić told HRT. Matić missed the European Championships due to COVID-19. She admits the virus did take its toll but "everything fell back into place" for the World Championships. "I wasn't worried before the final. I told myself I already had a medal, so everything is great and I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. The fight was tough. I managed to get a few points but then the next 36 seconds were the longest of my life. She was choking me but I refused to surrender and managed to move my arm. Then I knew I would make it," she said.

The monomer surface mobility is the single most important parameter that decides the nucleation density and morphology of islands during thin-film growth. During template-assisted surface growth in particular, low surface mobilities can prevent monomers from reaching target sites and this results in a partial to complete loss of nucleation control. Whereas in atomic systems a broad range of surface mobilities can be readily accessed, for colloids, owing to their large size, this window is substantially narrow and therefore imposes severe restrictions in extending template-assisted growth techniques to steer their self-assembly. Here, we circumvented this fundamental limitation by designing templates with spatially varying feature sizes, in this case moiré patterns, which in the presence of short-range depletion attraction presented surface energy gradients for the diffusing colloids. The templates serve a dual purpose: first, directing the particles to target sites by enhancing their surface mean-free paths and second, dictating the size and symmetry of the growing crystallites. Using optical microscopy, we directly followed the nucleation and growth kinetics of colloidal islands on these surfaces at the single-particle level. We demonstrate nucleation control, with high fidelity, in a regime that has remained unaccessed in theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies on atoms and molecules as well. Our findings pave the way for fabricating nontrivial surface architectures composed of complex colloids and nanoparticles as well.

[FDA] Resources for Food Producers in Areas Flooded from Tropical Storm Elsa   - America News Among those in Tropical Storm Elsa's path in the Southeastern U.S. are farmers and their fields of crops grown for human consumption. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition has several resources to help growers who may be affected by the impacts to their crops from severe weather conditions. The FDA's Guidance for Industry: Evaluating the Safety of Flood-affected Food Crops for Human Consumption provides the information that producers can use as they assess potential damage to their food crops. This guidance is an important resource for the growers who produce and market these crops, as they are responsible for assuring the safety of flood-affected food crops for human consumption. The FDA reminds harvesters that generally, if the edible portion of a crop is exposed to contaminated flood waters, it is considered "adulterated" under the Federal, Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and should not enter the human food supply. This applies to all food crops including underground crops (e.g., peanuts, potatoes).  For crops that were in or near flooded areas but where flood waters did NOT contact the edible portions of the crops, the growers should evaluate the safety of the crops for human consumption on a case-by-case basis for possible food safety concerns. Sometimes, crops that have been harvested and then subsequently deemed unsuitable for human use can be salvaged for animal food. For more information please see CVM Update: Resources for Animal Food Producers in the Southeastern United States Affected by Tropical Storm Elsa.

India Has Lowest Broadband Speeds In Asia-Pacific: Akamai | MediaNama Discover more:Akamai, Internet, News, Research & Numbers India Has Lowest Broadband Speeds In Asia-Pacific: Akamai India has the lowest broadband speeds in Asia Pacific with average connection speed of 1.4Mbps and also the lowest penetration of high speed broadband with only 0.3% having speeds over 10Mbps, according to 'State of the Internet' report by the content delivery network Akamai Technologies for Q3 2013. Attack traffic originating from India reduced to 1.9% from 2% a year ago. Akamai notes that attack traffic originating from 185 unique countries were spotted in the quarter, up by 10 from the previous quarter. Indonesia dropped back to the second-place slot, responsible for 20% of observed attacks — just over half of the volume seen in the prior quarter. China, returned to being the source of largest percentage (35%) of observed attacks. United States remained well behind in third place, originating 11% of observed attacks, up from just under 7% in the prior quarter. India was 10th among countries involved in the report with 18.37 million addresses, up 4.9% Quarter-on-Quarter(QoQ)and 32% Year-on-Year (YoY). Apart from India, Brazil, China, and the UK saw aggressive growth rates of more than 10% YoY. On a global basis, nearly 77% of countries/regions around the world had higher unique IPv4 address counts year-over-year. The small Indian Ocean island of Réunion had the largest rate of growth, increasing 925% over the last year. Globally, the number of IPV4 addresses increased 1.1% QoQ and by 11% YoY. Global High Broadband Connectivity Akamai classifies connections with speeds over 10Mbps as high speed broadband and India remained the country with the lowest level of high speed broadband adoption among qualifying countries, at 0.3%, despite 49% growth QoQ. These rates are lowest among Asia Pacific countries that were included in the report. Globally, high speed broadband adoption rate saw strong growth of 31% QoQ to reach 19% YoY. 70% of broadband connections in South Korea were over 10Mbps while in Japan it is at 49%, followed by Netherlands where 44% connections are high speed. South Korea is on top of the charts for this category with 93% connections having speeds of over 4Mbps, followed by Switzerland with 90% and Curacao with 87%. In India only 3% of the connections had speeds over 4Mbps. Note: Akamai considers only connections with speeds over 4Mbps as broadband, but according to TRAI any connection more than 512 Kbps is accepted as broadband. This is an issue we have written about in detail. Asia Pacific Average Connection Speeds: Among the Asia Pacific countries that were part of the report, average connection speeds ranged from 22.1 Mbps in South Korea down to just 1.4 Mbps in India, which had the lowest average connection speed in the region despite an increase of 11% QoQ and 34% YoY. Asia Pacific Average Peak Connection Speeds: Among the other Asia Pacific countries that were part of the report, only Indonesia and India had average peak connection speeds below 10Mbps as a result of both countries seeing a 15% quarterly decline, with India's 9.0 Mbps average peak connection speed being the lowest in the region. However, it needs to be noted the speed improved by 12% annually in India. Average Page Load Times Based on Real User Monitoring: In India, it took it took 5887ms to open a page using broadband connection and 8705 ms from a mobile phone, with a mobile penalty of 1.5x. In China it took 4121ms to load on a page on broadband connection and 4141ms from a mobile device with no mobile penalty. In US, it took 2794ms on broadband and 4410ms on mobile with 1.6x mobile penalty. Akamai admits that it has very limited insights into mobile networks and their performance but says that it will improve on that part in reports for 2014.

Slightly over three decades ago, there was a meeting on a yacht in the Med. A very important meeting. Things were dire and the whole escapade was crumbling and was going to leave some very important people with some very public egg on their face. Attending the meeting were several world leaders, two of the richest people in the world, and several others, all of whom who were being catered to by a group of teens from the country of one of the world leaders. The focus of their discussion was half a world away. To see what they were discussing, we need to take a step back. In the late 1960's and early 1970's, G was one of the wealthiest men in the world. Although he could have any one in the world to have sex with, G enjoyed the company of young girls. Very very young girls. Under 10 was his preferred. He imported the girls from a foreign country and housed them in the annex of his home which he reached via an underground tunnel. The girls were supplied by a very close friend of his who we will call M. It turns out M also had a love of young girls and provided them to other people like G all over the world. In return, M was protected in power and also enriched himself personally from these men who gave him gifts of not only cash, but also paintings by the masters and so much more. They also arranged for other governments to prop his up in the face of rebellion. When G died, things started to go downhill. Although one of his children (J) also was a fan of the young girls and availed himself frequently, he also ended up taking things too far and some of the girls ended up dead. J also had some big drug issues and was not of the same caliber connection wise that G had been. J was also under a great deal of pressure from siblings and bankers to do something with the annex to the house. The same annex where the young girls were located. Fast forward a few years. The same men in power like G that had helped prop up M were all dying off. They were being replaced by other men who had their focus on other areas of the world. All too often they didn't care about young girls and had other vices that they could fulfill from other dictators. The problem was what to do about all the girls all over the world that were in place or dead? That was the purpose of the meeting on the yacht. What was decided was everyone who had a girl in their possession could keep them in place but could never let them go. If they wanted them killed, they could send them to J and he would make arrangements to kill them. In total, about 50 of these girls were killed. They were dumped beneath the foundation of an addition to the annex which was built several miles from the original annex. If you ever want to know why a hit was never put out on the spouse of M or any of his own kids it is because that meeting on the yacht was recorded both via audio and video and M made sure that everyone knows she has a copy of them. She also made it known that if she, or her kids were to die, that the recordings would be released. M's spouse is very old so people are worried that she has not made any plans to not release it when she dies. Apparently this recording discusses many world leaders and titans of industry who all had their own young boys or girls from this country they abused.

Camera LCD Display With The Blinkies Turned On. Washed out pixels in the photo are flashing white and black. Some camera’s come with a highlight overexposure warning, commonly called “the blinkies”. If you have overexposed, blown out pixels, those pixels in your image will flash white and black. A quick look at the LCD image will tell you if part of your image has white, washed out, featureless pixels. If your camera has a highlight overexposure warning, I suggest you turn it on. If you see the blinkies and you don’t want washed out pixels, tone down your exposure until the blinkies go away. This LCD display above is for a photo of white, mostly washed out snow. I have both the blinkies and the RGB histogram (upper right) turned on. The three spikes on the right side of the histogram is another warning that there are very light and potentially washed out pixels. Except when magnifying an image, I almost always have the blinkies and the RGB histogram turned on. The small red square in the middle of the image indicates the focusing point that was turned on when the photo was taken. The rest of the LCD display shows basic camera information for the photo. Date and time, color space (Adobe RGB), and exposure information (1/100 sec, f/16, ISO 100). The camera was in manual exposure mode (M) and set to daylight white balance (the sun icon). The camera was set to capture both RAW plus JPEG files. If you are shooting JPEG files and you have washed out pixels, they are probably gone forever. If you shoot RAW files and you see the blinkies, there might enough data in the RAW file for you to recapture the image information with Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) by using the highlight and/or exposure sliders. RAW files have more overhead, more exposure information. Another reason why it is a good idea to shoot RAW files. It isn’t a good idea to wash out pixels, but if you do, ACR might be able to recover the pixel information in a RAW file.

"He worked his butt off," said Modesto coach Sam Nichols Jr. "He had a great attitude. Those are the kind of players you need on a championship team." Duran, a junior-to-be at Johansen High School, was relegated to the bench after getting hit by a pitch on his right wrist during his first at bat of the first game. The third baseman/pitcher played in just three games. "He wasn't able to pitch for us at all this whole tournament," Nichols said. "He definitely would have helped us out. He's also our No. 4 batter." Modesto earned a berth in the World Series by finishing second at a Super-Series Baseball of America qualifier tournament in San Jose during the Fourth of July weekend. Nichols assembled the team, which features players from Beyer, Central Catholic, Ceres, Davis, Downey, Hughson, Modesto Christian and Johansen, in May. More than 30 players tried out. Just 17 made the cut. Said Nichols: "There's a great possibility he (Isaac) will play up next year (on the 18-and-under team)." Duran and Valencia played on the same for two years and competed against each other for five years in Little League. - By DALE BUTLER / Staff Reporter of The Ceres (Calif.) Courier The fee of $599.00 includes the purchase of electronic copies of: Reasonable Suspicion For Supervisors and related quizzes. Out of the FA Cup to Barnsley, a manager edging closer and closer to the cliff’s edge with every bad result, a team filled with unrest and uncertainty, fans unhappy and at times vitriolic. It’s been a bit of a bad week for Chelsea. Any light on the horizon? Any silver lining for this cloud draped over Stamford Bridge? Wait…What’s this approaching SW6? Is this what we have been waiting for? All in white, are they angels? Carrying with them just ten points? Oh that’s right…It must be Derby County, the Premier League whipping boys, Championship-elect since August, the team which could make us all smile once again. The side with just one win all season (and that was against Newcastle so it doesn’t really count) currently sit a huge 16 points from safety, and with manager Paul Jewell believing in the ‘stick’ approach to motivation rather than the ‘carrot’ (virtually lambasting his squad after each and every defeat), the Rams must be dreading this one, even after Barnsley pretty much turned us over on Saturday. Avram Grant must show his supposed managerial credence and get the team playing again after THAT night at Oakwell, and while he does have injuries to contend with-Petr Cech is still out with an ankle problem-the squad is still supposedly strong enough to deal with anything thrown at it (just not crosses, eh Carlo). Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, Claude Makelele and Ashley Cole were some of the big names left out of the FA Cup tie, and will be hoping for a recall against Derby. Meanwhile, Derby’s plight has got just that little bit harder recently, with the news that mercurial youngster Giles Barnes will miss the rest of the season with a knee problem. Dean Leacock should also sit out the trip to London with a hip injury, while there are long-term issues over the fitness of Danny Mills, Claude Davis, and Tyrone Mears. Everyone’s favourite Welshman Robbie Savage could be set for a recall to the Rams line-up, so get your voices warmed up now for the inevitable sing-song which accompanies him to opposition grounds! We played Derby back in November, when they were still probably only 90% certainties to go down. We helped them on their way to relegation fodder though, with Shaun Wright-Phillips adding to Salomon Kalou’s first-half goal to give Chelsea a 2-0 win. Michael Essien was also sent off late on. The last time the two sides met at Stamford Bridge was a far closer affair, back in the bad old days when the Blues would beat a big side only to lose a week later to one of the smaller teams, like Charlton, Southampton, and Barnsley…Oh hang on, it’s starting to sound familiar. Anyway, back in March 2002, John Terry’s 50th minute opener was cancelled out by a Branco Strupar goal for the Rams just ten minutes later. Chelsea pushed on for a winner but with time running out, the three points seemed unlikely. Then, with less than five minutes on the clock, up stepped Emmanuel Petit to send a deflected shot into the back of the net, and Chelsea into fifth place in the table…above Leeds! Derby haven’t beaten us at the Bridge for 25 years while their last win against anyone in 90 minutes came 178 days ago with a 1-0 victory over fellow strugglers Newcastle United. With Chelsea in possession of such an imperious home record, and Derby written off as absolute no-hopers all season long, is anyone else thinking what I’m thinking? It would be the upset of all upsets (to beat the previous upset of all upsets that is), if Derby got a result at the Bridge, and one which would have huge repercussions all over the footballing world, not least in the boardroom and manager’s office at Chelsea. Another small hurdle ahead, let’s hope we don’t stumble and fall again. Prediction: Why am I so nervous? Derby at home should be a game to look forward to but I’m here sweating over a shock result which hasn’t even happened yet! Predictions are difficult nowadays with the team about as erratic as a Claude Makelele shot, but surely we’ll win this. Hopefully it will settle things down a bit and with the run-in fast approaching, the winning must start here. 3-0 Chelsea depending on who plays, how they play, and how bad Derby actually are.
