State, FBI investigating 'public corruption, misappropriation' allegations at OHA
By Rick Daysog | March 20, 2018 at 2:51 AM HST - Updated August 14 at 8:35 AM
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - The state Attorney General's office and the FBI are conducting a wide-ranging investigation into allegations of "public corruption and misappropriation" of taxpayer and state funds at the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Hawaii News Now has learned.
Earlier this month, HNN reported that the FBI had joined the state investigators, who have broadened their probe into the embattled state agency.
HNN now has learned that the AG's office has sent OHA a letter on Feb. 26, asking for thousands of pages of documents, including records of contracts issued by OHA and its for-profit subsidiaries dating back to 2012.
They're also asking for nearly six years of OHA bank statements, records of credit card and check transactions, wire transfers and all information relating to OHA's outside investments.
Only a small portion of the records involve actions taken by individual trustees. Most of the documents relate to actions taken by or approved by CEO Kamanao Crabbe and OHA's top management, adding fuel to efforts to oust OHA's top executive.
"I think it's very clear that the focus of this investigation is the OHA CEO and the administration," said Hawaiian activist and attorney Mililani Trask.
"I think the time has come to dismiss Kamanao Crabbe."
OHA's board will take up matter of Crabbe's contract during a meeting on Thursday. The agency declined comment.
Legal experts say they don't expect OHA to immediately turn over the records or will ask investigators to narrow their request.
"This is a classic definition of what a fishing expedition looks like," said Ken Lawson, co-director of the Hawaii Innocence Project at the University of Hawaii's William S. Richardson School of Law.
"This is chess. So basically, the next move is on OHA to say we're not responding to your request. If you want it, either get a subpoena or get a search warrant."
But while the investigation focus appears to be on OHA's management, Federal Public Defender Peter Wolff said he believes that even trustees are being targeted:
"Mr. Ahuna is being investigated by the FBI," Wolff wrote in a March 14 letter to a federal judge.

USS Vermont (SSN 792) Becomes Latest Virginia-Class Fast-Attack Submarine in Service
April 23, 2020 May 1, 2020 by admin
The U.S. Navy commissioned USS Vermont (SSN 792), the 19th Virginia-class attack submarine, April 18. Although the traditional public commissioning ceremony was canceled due to public health restrictions on large public gatherings, the U.S. Navy commissioned USS Vermont administratively and transitioned the boat to normal operations. USS Vermont was delivered to the United States Navy on April 17, 2020. Meanwhile, the Navy is looking at a future opportunity to commemorate the special event with the ship's sponsor, crew and commissioning committee.
USS Vermont (SSN-792) is the third U.S. Navy vessel to bear the name of the Green Mountain State. The first Vermont was one of nine 74-gun warships authorized by Congress in 1816. The second Vermont, Battleship No. 20, was commissioned in 1907 and first deployed in December that year as part of the "Great White Fleet." Vermont is a flexible, multi-mission platform designed to carry out the seven core competencies of the submarine force: anti-submarine warfare; anti-surface warfare; delivery of special operations forces; strike warfare; irregular warfare; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; and mine warfare.
Today, @gdelectricboat delivered the nuclear-powered attack submarine Vermont (SSN 792) to the U.S. Navy. Vermont is the 19th submarine of the Virginia Class, which provides the Navy with the capabilities required to retain undersea dominance well into the 21st century. #ssn792 pic.twitter.com/uxUR6YloVD

Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced her name on September 18, 2014. The U.S. Navy awarded General Dynamics Electric Boat the contract to construct ten Block IV Virginia-class submarines for $17.6 billion on April 28, 2014. Construction on Vermont commenced in May 2014 with the tenth ship scheduled for delivery in 2023.On October 20, 2018, Vermont was christened with a bottle of Vermont sparkling apple wine during a ceremony held at the Electric Boat facility in Groton, Connecticut. Former deputy assistant secretary of the Navy Gloria Valdez served as the ship's sponsor. Phil Scott, Governor of Vermont, and United States Congressman Peter Welch were on hand for the occasion.
The submarine is 377 feet long, has a 34-foot beam, and will be able to dive to depths greater than 800 feet and operate at speeds in excess of 25 knots submerged. The boat's construction began in May 2014, and it will provide the Navy the capabilities required to maintain the nation's undersea superiority well into the 21st century. Vermont is the first the first of 10 Virginia-class Block IV submarines. Block IV submarines incorporate design changes to reduce total ownership cost, as well as allow the Navy to increase the time between maintenance stops and the number of deployments.

"The Great Pianists" Non-Fiction: Lang Lang's Memoir & Van Cliburn's Biography
This month I have intensified my piano-learning (finally finishing all the piano method books I once started and jumping on Duvernoy, Schytte and Lemoine's studies) and been listening to a lot of piano music (especially to Godowsky's Java Suite this month), so I have also decided to share some piano-related books I have been reading recently.
I. Journey of a Thousand Miles: My Story [2008] by Lang Lang – ★★★★1/2
Chinese pianist Lang Lang is considered to be one of the leading figures of today's classical music world and one of the most accomplished pianists of our modern time. This is his memoir in which he tells his story, from his birth in 1982 in China's north-eastern city of Shenyang, his early musical education and upbringing, to his hard-work and his family sacrificing everything to see him become "the world's no. 1". It is a moving autobiography of a child once living in near-poverty, but always working very hard and dreaming "big", and then of a young man, not always believing in himself, but always being clear in his mind what he wants to achieve next, overcoming his tricky family life and the Chinese competitive system. There are no "self-indulgent" paragraphs in this memoir. It is clear and to the point, with very short chapters, in which Lang Lang, first and foremost, pays tribute to his family and his teachers, who always believed in him and enabled him to become what he is now, an immensely popular classical pianist.
Maybe embarrassingly, but I probably first heard Lang Lang's playing in the film The Painted Veil (2006), which featured Erik Satie's Gnossienne No. 1 performed by Lang Lang. Though back then I did not know it was Lang Lang's interpretation, I remember I was struck by the depth, clarity and subtlety of his rendition of this sublime piece. But, how that was achieved? For Lang Lang, as the title suggests, it was a journey of a thousand miles. He was a naturally timid child with vivid imagination and his first teachers helped him to open up, including Miss Feng and Professor Zhu, who introduced him early to the music of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky. As other gifted children, he had a deep connection with his instrument and "genuinely loved to play". He incorporated his childish fantasies into the music and piano-playing. For him, it became a form of a play, rather than work or practice: "I never truly set Tom and Jerry and Monkey King and Transformers aside. I worked them into the rhythms and dramatic movements of the pieces I played" [Lang Lang, David Ritz (ed.), Spiegel & Grau, 2008: 30].
Lang Lang won his first competition at the age of five, but failed miserably in the second. Then, came the decision of his pushy father quitting his job as a police officer and moving with Lang Lang to Beijing. Lang Lang's mother Zhou Xiulan is a real hero of this chapter in the pianist's life since she sacrificed a lot by working so hard and so far away from her child so he can have a chance to be instructed by better piano teachers in the capital. Lang Lang started to prepare for the conservatory's examinations under the guidance of one "Angry Teacher" and then under Professor Zhao. He won a scholarship, an admission, and, later, numerous competitions, having success both in China and in Germany. His career skyrocketed in the US (he was admitted to the Curtis Institute of Music, played with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and impressed maestro Christoph Eschenbach).
Lang Lang is incredible as a pianist because of his willingness to embrace so many composers from different countries (he was even listening to rap when he was young). Russia "nourished" him, Franz Liszt became his idol. Lang Lang will play everything, from Chopin's hardest pieces to Bach's simplest minuets for beginners, and will do so with the same passion, seriousness and concentration. I also admire Lang Lang for his role as an educator and supporter of piano-learning. He is an Ambassador of the Leeds International Piano Competition and, in 2008, started his own Lang Lang Foundation, designed to inspire and enable children to pursue music. It is safe to say that Lang Lang is a true "beginners' pianist".
Lang Lang's engrossing memoir often reads like an exciting coming-of-age story with many takeaways. At the end of the day, the audience is never fooled. It felt Lang Lang's genuine passion for classical music and his strong desire to share it with others, and, thus, rewarded him with something that is extremely difficult to achieve for any classical pianist in the modern time: their hearts.
This Bagatelle No. 25 in A Minor ("Für Elise") by Beethoven is a slower version of that that now forms part of Lang Lang's album Piano Book [2019], where he plays the pieces that shaped his childhood and inspired him to become a pianist.
II. Moscow Nights : The Van Cliburn Story – How One Man and His Piano Transformed the Cold War [2016] by Nigel Cliff – ★★★★
"We now have a Tchaikovsky competition and an American pianist who plays well…we don't know what to do", a Soviet Minister reports to First Secretary of the Communist Party Nikita Khrushchev; Khrushchev: – "What do the others say about him? Is he the best?" – "Yes, he is the best" – "In that case, give him the first prize."
This is the story of Louisiana-born American pianist Van Cliburn and his unbelievable "conquest" of the Soviet Union in times of the Cold War. Immensely talented and aged only 23, lanky, innocent-looking Cliburn won the hearts of the Soviet people at the very first Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in Moscow in 1958, a competition that was designed to showcase the supremacy of the Soviets. From the depth of Texas wilderness to the heart of Moscow, he made the longest journey of his life, but his greatest accomplishment was not physical or even musical, it was spiritual, piercing the Russian soul, leaving it craving for more, while also uniting two opposing nations, even for a very brief period.
Van Cliburn, born in 1934, was a child prodigy, "taking to piano like children take to toys", and beginning his first piano lessons at the age of three from his mother, Rildia Bee O'Bryan, an accomplished pianist who never realised her own dream of becoming a concert pianist. It was his mother, who once studied with a student of Franz Liszt and even met Sergei Rachmaninoff, who instilled in young Cliburn the love for Russian music and composers. When Cliburn entered the Juilliard School in New York, he began his studies under Rosina Lhévinne, the celebrated pianist and Russian émigré, who was so strict in her practice room with her students that it was said that "whoever was able to go through their pieces in her room was then able to play anywhere in the world." When Cliburn entered the Tchaikovsky Competition in 1958, few thought he would have any success and he had some notable competition, for example, from Soviet Lev Vlassenko and from Chinese talent Liu Shikun. The jury was as intimidating, comprising Shostakovich, Richter, Oborin, Gilels and Kabalevsky. However, it turned out Cliburn should not have worried – even in the preliminary round his interpretation of Tchaikovsky was viewed as so "ecstatically lyrical, thrillingly Romantic, and symphonic in scale …[that] tears glistened in many eyes" [Nigel Cliff, Harper, 2016: 137]. His final performance at the Competition earned him the first prize when the jury agreed that his performance was the best, and his concert boasted an unprecedented eight-minute standing ovation.
The Soviets saw that Cliburn genuinely loved the music he played and they were entranced by his innocence, sincerity and passion. If Russians conquered Cliburn's heart, with the pianist saying that the warmth and sincerity of the Russian people reminded him of the Texan people back home, he definitely conquered theirs, with the whole fan-base establishing over Van Cliburn in Moscow and beyond. His later career had its ups and downs, with Cliburn playing for every American President, but always being somewhat uncomfortable with fame and never managing to dispel the Texan stereotypes nor the prejudice concerning his sexuality. There were many years when he did not touch the keys publicly, and he passed away in 2013.
Nigel Cliff's biography is so incredibly detailed that it is often quite difficult to see the narrative through the multitude of little facts presented, but the book's incredible thoroughness may also be its strength. Van Cliburn's achievement was a triumph of people's humanity and love for music over politics and national barriers. At least for the duration of Cliburn's pieces, the American and Soviet people united in their sincere appreciation of great music, in their common feelings of gratitude to one another for the talents on display, showing kindness and human understanding that transcended flags and language-barriers.
The "singing" style of Cliburn's play is evident in this rendition of Solovyov-Sedoi's "Moscow Nights" (Подмосковные вечера, lit. translation "Moscow environs' evenings") (Cliburn's own arrangement). As a Russian listening to this, I am moved to tears, and if this is so, I can only imagine the effect it had on the Soviet people listening live in 1958.

Amazing blog piece!
As a classically trained pianist, I'm so glad to have found your blog + read your posts. Lang Lang sounds amazing. And the book on Van Cliburn seems like a must-read. I don't know how many times I've listened to Van Cliburn's electrifying rendition of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto. I've lost count over the years. 🙂
Thank you! I really appreciate you commenting, and both are very eye-opening. It is as though Cliburn was born to play Tchaikovsky, such great sensitivity to his music.
Calmgrove says:
Long enjoyed Lang Lang's style of playing, full of sensitivity and emotion, with any technical difficulties appearing nonexistent. And such an engaging personality and a whizz at communication. Van Cliburn, I'm ashamed to say, is a name new to me, but I'm intrigued.
Yes, Lang Lang is incredible. If there is a stereotype of the classical music world peopled by aloof "deities", Lang Lang appears so down-to-earth and approachable. Apparently, he is the reason millions of children in China take up the piano every year, it's called "the Lang Lang effect", so amazing and inspirational.

I've been on the internet my entire life, releasing music, written works, and floating from one social network to the other. But it wasn't until January 2018 that I actually took a much tighter, much more calculated control over what I put out online. No longer did I want Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, whatever to be in control of what I can show my family, friends, and followers. It's an opportunity not previously afforded to me, and I'm proud to say that TylerScruggs.com is the output of that.
TylerScruggs.com is, yes, primarily a blog for my writing on various subjects ranging from Film & TV, Music, Tech, LGBTQ+ Culture, and Pop Culture as a whole. My mission is to carve out a template and a platform for freelance writers and artists like myself and a diverse range of other creatives to create and control their own corners of the internet. No more algorithms, no more ad revenue going to large corporations.
I want to design a way to live life transparently online and uninterrupted offline.
The plan? To create blogs, editorials, video content, music, podcasts, whatever else that can entertain, help, or inspire all of us to keep pushing creatively in this increasingly confusing and complicated time.
TylerScruggs.com, an independent content outlet where I share blogs, editorials, essays and more of the things I do across the Internet.
Album Three: my third music album, which is fully written. It just needs a financial boost to make it a reality.
Untitled Podcast: there is a podcast. And it's coming very soon. Jumping on board now will make YOU a part of the development process.
Thank you so much for helping realize this vision through your support! | {

Getting a divorce can have serious, long-term effects, both emotionally and legally. There are also strict legal requirements that cover everything from choosing a method of legal separation to selecting where and how to file, to deciding how the property should be divided. The divorce process can be confusing, especially without legal assistance. FindLaw's directory can connect you with trusted divorce lawyers in Clifton, New Jersey to guide you through the divorce process and minimize the stress you experience during this difficult time.
What Is the Difference Between Divorce and Separation?
There are several distinctions between divorce and separation.
First, legal separation may be a court-mandated step of the divorce process, with some states requiring that potential divorcees spend some time living apart in a form of legal separation before proceeding to formal divorce.
Outside of this requirement, legal separation is reversible, while divorce is not. Once you have been declared divorced from a former spouse, there is no going back. Legally separated spouses retain the right to inherit property as well, and may not remarry (as they are still considered married, despite separation).
What Are Alternatives to Divorce?
Depending on your circumstances, you may have other options for ending your marriage besides a divorce. Many states offer legal separations, which can allow spouses to make some of the same decisions as a divorce regarding their shared property, child custody, and child support. This option doesn't legally end the marriage and is generally used when couples want to retain their marriage status for religious or health care reasons.
An annulment, on the other hand, has the same legal effect as a divorce but does so by declaring your marriage was never valid in the first place. Reasons for an annulment could be that one spouse was already married, was tricked into the marriage, or was too young at the time to legally marry.
What Is the Difference Between an Annulment and Divorce?
While divorce may be permanent, it does not dispute the fact that a marriage was legally enacted and in existence in the first place.
An annulment, however, is very similar to a divorce as it may involve a dividing of assets, custody and visitation negotiations, and so on — but an annulment means that the marriage was established on false pretenses. If a man discovers, for example, that his wife has been lying about an extensive criminal past (or present), or that she was never formally divorced from a former spouse, he may file for an annulment rather than a divorce.
If an annulment is successful, it is — from a legal perspective — as if the marriage did not ever truly exist. Annulments can also be sought for religious reasons, particularly given the gravity of divorce in the understanding of certain faiths.
How Are Marital Assets Divided?
The division of marital property after a divorce will generally depend on whether or not you live in a community property state. The best way to determine whether your state is a community property state is to talk to a local attorney who can tell you what the law is and who can help you understand how that affects your situation.
Community property states consider nearly all property obtained after the marriage as equally owned by both spouses. As a result, the property will generally be equally split after the divorce. Absent community property statutes, it's typically up to the court to divide marital property between both parties. In either case, courts will normally accept a property division agreement if the spouses can create their own.
How to Find a Divorce Lawyer
Attorneys aren't needed for every divorce, but in many cases, legal assistance can be beneficial, if not crucial. With the complex nature of some divorce procedures and emotions running high, it is often a good idea to have a knowledgeable resource for information and a skilled advocate for negotiations and possible court proceedings.

If both spouses are on speaking terms and being relatively fair-minded and pleasant with one another, a single divorce lawyer may be able to help them navigate their divorce proceedings. This may be the case for several no-fault divorces.
However, in instances where a fault is established, or combative divorce proceedings are expected to take place, it is highly advised that both spouses hire a skilled divorce lawyer to represent their best interests. Not only can a negotiation between professional legal counsel lead to a much more streamlined process, but this method may also remove some of the emotions associated with painful divorce proceedings.
What Is the Difference Between Alimony and Spousal Support?
Alimony and spousal support are interchangeable terms that refer to monthly payments from one ex-spouse to another following a divorce. These payments can be court-ordered or arranged by the parties involved and are intended to account for the adverse economic effect a divorce can have on one party. All spousal support agreements and amounts are unique, depending on the spouses' individual incomes and property, their earning capacity, the duration of the marriage and whether children and child support are involved, among other factors.
Can I Fill Out Divorce Forms Myself?
Yes, it is legal for individuals to fill out a divorce petition themselves. However, it is highly recommended that you find a divorce lawyer with experience for a consultation regardless, even if you are planning to have a mutually acceptable no-fault divorce.
Divorce paperwork can be complex, and the surrounding legal territory even more so. If you are facing a more acrimonious or complicated divorce, you should seek legal representation immediately. | {

Statement by Chairman Dr Lamin J Sise at the opening of the Eighteenth session of the TRRC's public hearings
Home/Press Release/Statement by Chairman Dr Lamin J Sise at the opening of the Eighteenth session of the TRRC's public hearings
Chairman Lamin J Sise
Today, Monday 7 December, 2020, the TRRC will begin its 18th session of public hearings. As at the end of the 17th session, the Commission had heard testimonies from 300 witnesses. Of these, 231 were male and 69 were female. Out of the total number of witnesses appearing before the Commission so far, 191 were victims and 51 were self-confessed perpetrators and adversely mentioned persons. Twenty-eight witnesses have testified via video link from the Gambian Diaspora. These hearings also included several protected witnesses and closed door testimonies.
As we continue our public hearings on the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), a component of the theme on institutional hearings which begun on 22 October 2020, somemay wonder why the TRRC is devoting such detailed focus and time on the NIA. The Commission has so far heard testimonies from 28 witnesses during the NIA hearings.
The TRRC was not established in a post-armed conflict environment in The Gambia. The establishment of such post-conflict commissions have traditionally been the culmination of peace negotiations which call for the creation of truth-seeking and reconciliation mechanism. While such mechanism is indeed a central objective of the TRRC as enshrined in the 2017 Act, it was created in a post-authoritarian transition.
The institutions of the State enabled the dictatorship to thrive for over two decades. It is imperative, therefore, that the TRRC examine thoroughly the weaknesses and failures of the relevant state institutions, especially the NIA, that facilitated or enabled the Jammeh regime to violate, on a massive scale, the human rights of the citizens of The Gambia. The NIA, from the testimonies of victims that have either appeared before the Commission or submitted written statements, was the primary instrument of fear and terror of the dictatorship.
A thorough examination of the institutional failures should inform the TRRC in the formulation of its recommendations regarding reforms called for pursuant to Section 13 (a) (i) of the TRRC Act, 2017.
The new institutions of the state should have the confidence of the citizens who previously only had reasons to distrust such institutions and those entrusted to protect and defend their fundamental rights.
As we begin this session, the last public hearing of what has clearly been a very difficult year for all of us, the TRRC remains committed to the execution of its mandate to the best of its ability. The TRRC tremendously appreciates the solid support from the population in general. The Commission will find it immensely helpful to receive more information on the remaining themes in its work plan, including the enforced disappearances of people like Chief Ebrima Manneh, Saul Ndow, and Mahawa Cham among others. Also information regarding the massacre of an estimated 56 West African migrants in 2005. We therefore continue to urge all persons – especially victims of any human rights violations that occurred between July 1994 and January 2017 – to please come forward and share their information or experiences with the Commission. Please rest assured that your confidentiality will be strictly guarded by the Commission.
Finally, we continue to crave the public's support and understanding as we move closer to the end of our mandate on 30 June, 2021. | {

In the late 1980's, 15-year old Julie came home and found her father hanging in the garage. Her grief was fuelled by a terrible sense of rejection.
At 16, Julie went "wild". She adopted the punk lifestyle because it seemed to provide a way of venting her tremendous anger and resentment. Expressing her rage was partly cathartic, but the underlying hurt remained.
A friend invited her to a Christian youth camp, where she told a sympathetic counsellor how powerless she had felt to help her father. If only he had confided in his family. He had robbed them of expressing their love and support.
Julie was encouraged to pour it all out and then formally forgive her father. The healing process began from there.
His grieving sister told a counsellor that she blamed herself for his death. She could have done more to help: "if only I had done this....."
The counsellor was firm: "Look, blaming yourself for what James did, is false grief.
In the end, it was his choice to start on the drugs. It was his choice to hang himself.
The sister forgave her brother and began the healing process. | {

'Othering' COVID-19
Xenophobic incidents, racism and attacks against Asian Americans — based on false narratives that COVID-19 came from the "other" — are sadly predictable, says Roy Peter Clark, senior scholar at the Poynter Institute, a journalism education and advocacy organization in St. Petersburg, Florida.
"Here is how the contagion of irrationality works," he wrote in an April 13 column. "Someone blames it on China. By extension, the blame extends to the Chinese people. In a diverse country like America, blame — by pure ignorance — is extended to Chinese Americans (many who have never been in China); and because the ignorant do not discriminate between the varieties of Asian cultures, blame extends to all Asian Americans."
It's a view shared by Russell Jeung, chair of the Asian American Studies Department at San Francisco State University. In an interview with Columbia Journalism Review published on April 14, he discussed the role of news organizations in reducing such attacks — by, for example, providing broader coverage of Asian Americans and using accurate terms (such as "COVID-19" instead of "the Chinese virus"). Having reporters who are culturally sensitive and can communicate in communities where English may not be widely spoken can also help, he said.
Jeung and his graduate students have analyzed xenophobia and discrimination in COVID-19 news coverage, and he has helped to collect firsthand accounts of anti-Asian violence. Among the patterns they saw in global English-language news reports about the pandemic were these: First came racialized memes about eating Chinese food (including eating bats, which were a possible source of the coronavirus) and wearing masks (a common sight in Asian countries during flu season). Those were followed by reports on cancellations of Lunar New Year events and the decline of Chinese businesses. Next came worldwide reports about racism against Asians.
Media outlets "could be contributing to the xenophobia by calling the virus the 'Chinese virus,' calling it the 'Wuhan virus,' by showing pictures of Chinese people wearing masks when they're talking about the virus, or running stories about conspiracy theories," Jeung told CJR. (The Jan. 27 issue of The Sift referred to COVID-19 as the "Wuhan coronavirus"; other news organizations used the same language around that time.)
But when he and his students looked solely at U.S. domestic news coverage, those anti-Asian patterns were followed by reports on elected officials, health officials and Asian Americans themselves speaking out against racism and condemning harassment and violence. Such reports, he suggested, may have been partially responsible for President Donald Trump's tweets on March 23 that Asian Americans should be protected and that the spread of the virus was not their fault.
Still, Jeung added, Trump has "a clear 'us'-versus-'them' dichotomy. We call that Orientalist language, saying that the West is different from the East. Therefore Asian Americans are considered perpetual foreigners. That language puts us in the out-group, and it's easy to blame and attack the out-group."
"'A Perfect Storm': Extremists Look For Ways To Exploit Coronavirus Pandemic" (Hannah Allam, NPR).
"Racism is a virus too" (Nancy Spiegel and Tam Huynh, Bangor Daily News).
"Political correctness is a virus that kills, too: John Phillips" (John Phillips, Orange County Register).
Discuss: How could associating COVID-19 with a geographic location contribute to xenophobic and discriminatory attitudes? In what ways would having a culturally and linguistically diverse newsroom staff be helpful in covering the COVID-19 pandemic? How would you rate your local news organizations' coverage of COVID-19 as it reflects and relates to the Asian American community? How would you rate national news coverage?
Idea: Have students review COVID-19 coverage relating to Asians and Asian Americans since January from one standards-based news organization. Then have students summarize their findings, including whether terms such as "Chinese virus" or "Wuhan virus" were used, whether any photos of Asians or Asian Americans wearing masks were used without appropriate context, and whether reports included first-person accounts from Asian Americans about how they have been affected by the spread of COVID-19 and the racial perceptions of others.
NO: The state of Michigan has not prohibited the purchase of American flags or infant car seats. YES: Pictures of American flags and infant car seats in cordoned-off sections of stores in Michigan circulated online with these false claims last week. YES: Gov. Gretchen Whitmer issued an executive order on April 9 requiring businesses staying open for in-person sales to "close areas of the store ... that are dedicated to" nonessential goods, such as carpet or flooring, furniture, garden supplies and paint. NO: A FAQ page about the order specifically states that there is no ban on the sale of American flags or infant car seats.
NO: It is not accurate to say that the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas is the only hotel in the city that has not donated food or rooms to emergency personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic. YES: Many hotels in Las Vegas, but not all of them, have donated food to local charities or rooms to medical personnel who are staying away from their homes to avoid spreading the coronavirus to their families. YES: Recent reports by ProPublica and The Washington Post found that no Trump Organization hotel is participating in local programs that offer free or reduced-rate lodging to medical personnel.
NO: Donald Trump did not send a tweet on Nov, 23, 2009, criticizing President Barack Obama's handling of the H1N1 pandemic. NO: Twitter did not allow tweets this long (more than 140 characters) until 2017. NO: This tweet does not appear in Trump's Twitter feed or on two websites — trumptwitterarchive.com and Factba.se — that archive Trump's tweets. (He sent his first tweet on May 4, 2009.)
Note: Be wary of screenshots of social media posts that can't be found in a person's account, especially if they are controversial or too perfect.
NO: The Pentagon did not confirm that the virus that causes COVID-19 got into the "chemtrail fluid supply." NO: Chemtrails are not real. YES: The white, cloud-like streaks from airplane engines are streams of condensed water vapor called "contrails." NO: There is no secret government program or conspiracy to control the weather or people through the use of chemicals sprayed from airplanes. YES: A 2016 survey found that 10% of Americans "completely" believe that there is a "chemtrails" conspiracy; an additional 20% to 30% believe that these widely debunked theories are "somewhat" true. YES: This item originated with Aviation Daily, a satirical website for aviation buffs (its "About" page states: "This site publishes satire") and was picked up by sites that promote conspiracy theories and other forms of misinformation, such as the one that appears over the headline in the image above.
Related: "'Chemtrail' conspiracy theorists: The people who think governments control the weather" (Chris Bell, BBC Trending).
NO: These headlines are not faked or engineered to exaggerate the number of COVID-19 fatalities. YES: They are two authentic headlines from two news outlets in two cities. YES: Lenard Wells served in the Milwaukee Police Department for 27 years; after he retired, he spent seven years as an instructor in the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of Memphis in Tennessee.
Three to teach
Conspiracy theories falsely linking Bill Gates to the COVID-19 pandemic were mentioned 1.2 million times on TV and social media from February to April, according to an investigation published April 17 by The New York Times. These falsehoods — tracked by Zignal Labs, a media analytics company — include YouTube videos (the 10 most popular have racked up almost 5 million views) and more than 16,000 Facebook posts that have accumulated almost 900,000 "likes" and comments.
The theories — which selectively and inaccurately knit together quotes from Gates' speeches and interviews, his connections with people such as Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton, and details from grants and other activities of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation — advance wildly false schemes accusing the Microsoft co-founder of having foreknowledge of the pandemic, actually engineering the pandemic, and using the pandemic for profit or to institute population surveillance and control mechanisms. As an example, a YouTube video posted on March 21 by the Law of Liberty Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida, pairs a quote from Gates' 2010 TED Talk with a comment he made during a Reddit AMA ("Ask Me Anything") last week to advance the apocalyptic theory that Gates is the Antichrist and is using the pandemic to usher in the End Times. As of April 20, it has almost 1.9 million views.
The theories have also gotten traction among antivaccination activists, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who have seized on the moment as an opportunity to air their longstanding opposition to Gates' vaccination advocacy efforts. Influential partisans have also amplified aspects of the false theories. Laura Ingraham, host of Fox News' The Ingraham Angle, and Emerald Robinson, a correspondent for the conservative website Newsmax, have both repeated conspiratorial claims on Twitter, and former Trump advisor Roger Stone (who has been ordered to report to federal prison by the end of this month) invoked a number of them in an April 13 radio interview with Joe Piscopo on New York City's AM970 The Answer, part of the conservative Salem Media Group. Stone's baseless comments were then repeated, unchallenged, by a report in the New York Post that has been shared almost 7,000 times on Facebook.
Discuss: Are some conspiracy theories more dangerous than others? Should social media companies allow conspiratorial content to spread on their platforms? What has made Bill Gates a target for such widespread conspiracy theories? What is the impact on the national conversation of news coverage that repeats false claims without challenging them? What impact might these conspiracy theories have on the public reception of a vaccine for COVID-19, should one be developed?
A spate of Facebook groups coordinating opposition to stay-at-home orders in cities and states across the country have been established in the last week alone. At least four of them — targeting New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — were created by three brothers who also manage a number of hard-line gun advocacy organizations and websites, The Washington Post reported on April 19. The next day, NBC News added a fifth group (targeting Minnesota) and a fourth brother to the list.
Some of the groups are sharing advice and even Facebook event descriptions with each other as they organize protests against what they consider "excessive" measures undertaken by states to fight the spread of the COVID-19 virus. At least 13 protests to "reopen America" have been held in the last week, with more planned in several states this week.
The protests have drawn a significant amount of news coverage and produced a number of shocking images, including provocative signs, Confederate flags and armed demonstrators. At the same time, much of the coverage has noted that these events do not represent the views of most Americans about the pandemic response.
Note: A Facebook spokesman told the Post that promotions of protests in New Jersey and California had been removed from the platform, saying that "events that defy government's guidance on social distancing aren't allowed on Facebook." On April 20, a CNN reporter tweeted that Facebook had also removed events in Nebraska and was checking with officials in New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin "as to whether anti-quarantine protests breaks those states' social distancing measures."
"Protesting for the Freedom to Catch the Coronavirus" (Charlie Warzel, The New York Times).
"What the anti-stay-at-home protests are really about" (Jane Coaston, Vox).
Discuss: Are these protests newsworthy? Why or why not? Are news organizations giving them too much attention? What could be the inadvertent effects of reporting on movements like these? Are members of this movement exercising their rights or endangering others? Should Facebook take action against the groups where many of these protests are being organized? Why or why not?
Bloomberg News' decision in late October 2013 to not publish a months-long investigation about the ties between one of China's wealthiest men, Wang Jianlin, and the families of top Communist Party officials was back in the news last week after NPR's David Folkenflik obtained an audio tape of remarks by Matthew Winkler, then Bloomberg News' editor in chief, on a conference call with other Bloomberg editors and the China investigative team.
During the call, Folkenflik reported, Winkler expressed concerns that publication would "invite the Communist Party to, you know, completely shut us down and kick us out of the country."
"So I just don't see that as a story that is justified," Folkenflik quoted Winkler as saying about the report on Wang. "There's a way to use the information you have in such a way that enables us to report, but not kill ourselves in the process and wipe out everything we've tried to build there."
In 2013, Bloomberg LP, the parent company of Bloomberg News, was attempting to recover from a substantial drop in leases of its flagship product, the Bloomberg Terminal, in China following a series of Bloomberg News reports in 2012 about the hidden wealth of the families of Communist Party officials (PDF). The terminal — the source of Michael Bloomberg's multibillion-dollar fortune — provides real-time market data, analytics, news feeds and other services to financial professionals; in 2013, the price of an annual lease was more than $20,000. Ordering the country's many state-owned companies not to renew their terminal subscriptions (or start new ones) was one way the Chinese government retaliated against Bloomberg for that reporting.
At the time, a Bloomberg spokesman said that the Wang investigation was "not ready for publication." Last week, both Winkler and Bloomberg News declined to comment on Folkenflik's reporting.
"Bloomberg News Is Said to Curb Articles That Might Anger China" (Edward Wong, The New York Times).
"Resignation Revives Doubts About Bloomberg's China Coverage" (David Folkenflik, NPR).
"Bloomberg News's Deepening China Problem" (Dean Starkman, Columbia Journalism Review).
"When Bloomberg News's Reporting on China Was Challenged, Bloomberg Tried to Ruin Me for Speaking Out" (Leta Hong Fincher, The Intercept).
Note: Michael Forsythe, a co-author of the 2013 investigation of Wang and a lead reporter on the 2012 series, was suspended shortly after news outlets reported on the company's decision not to publish; he left Bloomberg soon thereafter. In January 2014 he joined The New York Times, which published his investigation of Wang in 2015 after he re-reported large parts of it.
Also note: At a standards-based news organization, leaders should strive to maintain the independence of the newsroom. This includes ensuring that the business interests of the publisher or parent company do not influence news coverage.
Discuss: Do you think Bloomberg News' decision not to publish the investigation of Wang Jianlin was the right one? Why or why not? Why is it dangerous for a news organization's business interests to affect its coverage, including what it considers to be "newsworthy"?
Also discuss: What types of sources were used as the basis of NPR's report? (See "Practicing Quality Journalism" in NLP's Checkology® virtual classroom.)
Idea: Have students review Folkenflik's reporting (both the piece linked in the first paragraph and the link under "Related") and The New York Times' investigation of Wang Jianlin (link in "Note" above). Ask students to take on the role of a Bloomberg editor deciding whether to publish the report about Wang. Then ask them to write a short email explaining what they think should be done and why. Have them send their emails to their teacher or share them with the entire class.

Origin and Growth of Feudalism in Early India
by Gian Chand Chauhan
This work analyzes the origin and growth of feudalism, and deals with the political, economic and social aspect of Indian feudalism.
Feudalism referred to the division of society into social estates, privileges for the nobility, closed economy, the dominant position of landed aristocrats- all that hampered the movement of society forward and restricted the development of town and trade.
The Indian form of feudalism has been treated on the basis of history of ancient India. The complexity and variety of life in feudal society has been shown, fundamental concepts offered, and the basic patterns of the development of the socioeconomic and political formation of feudalism explained. This work would be of great interest to the historian of Ancient Indian History and the researchers who are interested in the study of feudalism.
Dr. Gian Chand Chauhan, a teacher of History at Panjab University, Chandigarh, is working on social institutions of ancient India. He enjoyed post-doctoral fellowship of ICHR, Delhi (1997-99). His publications include Origin and Growth of Feudalism in Early India (from the Mauryas to 650 A.D.). His major field of research is socio-economic institutions of ancient India and Early Indian Feudalism.

Review by MANJEET SINGH: Wednesday 18 March, 2015
This is very curious work about the origin and growth of Indian feudalism in India from Maurya to 650 AD. This debate deals with the political, economic and social formation with special reference to feudalism. How Indian feudalism different from western feudalism. this book carries various early as well as current debates to look into feudalism. Chauhan clearly defines the nature of land grants and Suzerain-Vassal relationship at that time. he negates the Marxist model on Indian feudalism, as well as Chauhan also questioned the idea of R.S.Sharma's views that Sharma suggested many alternative centuries for the beginning of feudalism in India, ranging from second and first centuries B.C. to third or fourth centuries A.D.(page No. 09. Chauhan). Chauhan traces the routes of Indian Fuedalism from literary as well as epigraphical sources but R.S.Sharma did not convey this idea in his book. Chauhan uses the primary sources to look into the basic concept of origin and growth of feudalism in Indian land. this work is very helpful for current researchers to analysis the current debate on Indian feudalism.

Birmingham school teacher tops Billboard Smooth Jazz chart | CBS42
US-based Nigerian neurosurgeon flies home monthly to perform free surgery | Yen.com
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — Kim Scott is the head of the music department at the Alabama School of the Fine Arts. The Flutist also has a chart-topping new single out. Her recent release, "Emerge" is number one on the Billboard Smooth Jazz chart. When she isn't teaching, Kim Scott is playing her flute. She says she started in 2010 with the vision of playing Jazz and wanted to represent the flute because "there wasn't a lot of the sound on the radio."
Scott told CBS 42, "It's a beautiful instrument, not just in the classical music the classical genre. So, I put out an album in 2011 and it took off from there."
Scott is releasing her fourth album titled, "Free to Be." It will be released in July. The single "Emerge" debuted at #20 and in just ten weeks rose to #1. She co-wrote the song with Jonathan Fritzen from Sweden. She says it was important to her because she had not put out a song in a few years after she got married. Scott says this is the song that says it is time for me to step out and be free.

Today's topics include Microsoft adding linguistic capabilities to Power BI, and Zuora going public on the New York Stock Exchange.
Microsoft has added new linguistic capabilities in the April update for its Power BI Desktop, which creates reports on the company's Power BI cloud-backed business intelligence and business analytics platform. One enhancement was to Power BI's Q&A feature, which allows users to find answers and gather insights by posing questions using plain language.
According to Power BI Program Manager Will Thompson, Microsoft has added the ability to import and export linguistic schema files, allowing users to enhance Q&A's ability to find the desired answers by expressly linking certain grammatical elements to a corresponding column of data.
Power BI Desktop users are also gaining the ability to integrate Q&A Explorer into their reports, and organizations can now deploy and manage custom visualizations, allowing administrators to collect them into a repository and make them available to users.
On April 12, Zuora started publicly selling its stock on the New York Stock Exchange.
Zuora is a forward-thinking cloud-based business management provider based in Redwood City, Calif., that for years has proclaimed the viability of what it calls the "subscription economy." Zuora's frontline product, Zuora Central, is an intelligent hub that sits between ERP and CRM technologies and enables any company to manage its complex, recurring and hybrid revenue business models in one dashboard, in real time.
Zuora's stock was originally offered at $14 per share, jumping 43 percent to $20 at opening, and ending at $20.05 by closing on April 12. The initial price range for the stock had been between $9 and $11, so the first day's performance was excellent by any standard. | {

See where we work:
Salesian Missions has been working in Liberia since 1979 when it opened its first vocational technical institute there. Nearly two-thirds of the 3.5 million residents fall below the poverty line and families struggle to rebuild in the wake of a devastating civil war. Among the most vulnerable victims are former child soldiers who must be rehabilitated and guided into a responsible and productive lifestyle.
The country was also devastated by the Ebola outbreak with more than 10,600 people affected and more than 4,800 reported deaths, according to the World Health Organization. Salesian missionaries worked to unite vulnerable Ebola orphans with relatives or with educational programs to provide much needed ongoing care. Other Salesian programs provide food, medical care and education to Ebola orphans and former child soldiers.
Featured Mission
Improve health services
Salesian missionaries were on the front lines during the devastating Ebola outbreak of 2014 in West Africa. They provided education about Ebola and preventative measures with various programs throughout Liberia.
The Salesian-run Mother Patern College of Health Sciences, one of five colleges that make up the Stella Maris Polytechnic University in Monrovia, was also on the front lines of the Ebola crisis with all 63 of its staff reassigned to address the Ebola outbreak. The College administers programs in health education and HIV/AIDS, offers courses in primary health care and degrees in nursing, social work, laboratory technology and biology.
A Salesian-run HIV/AIDS program in Liberia is designed to increase awareness of HIV/AIDS and its risks through training and outreach activities. People living with HIV/AIDS can access the program for treatment that includes home-based care and support groups for emotional and social support.
More Missions In Liberia
Build primary & secondary schools
Whether working to provide rehabilitation to former child soldiers or assisting young women to overcome barriers to education, Salesian programs in Liberia are providing youth the opportunity to live up to their potential through both academic and social programs. Salesian volunteer programs and Catholic schools have helped more than 2,300 students and their families.
The Mary Help of Christians School provides a foundation of education and support for young students who would otherwise have limited opportunities to better their lives. The School started in 1993 and serves just over 560 students. It also includes a feeding program, which serves a little more than 100 of those students and ensures that youth in need receive a nutritious, healthy meal.
Provide technical & vocational training
St. Theresa Convent School has more than 1,000 students who are engaged in learning employable skills. Students benefited from donated school desks, chairs and textbooks. A sander, table saw, wood planters and other carpentry materials also have been donated to the Don Bosco Technical High School, which educates more than 500 students. These two Salesian-run educational facilities provide poor youth with secondary education and training, enabling them to join the workforce or go on to college.
Salesian missionaries with Don Bosco Technical High School in Monrovia have launched a new vocational training course for electro-technicians. There is an afternoon class available to high school students which complements their current educational path. A morning class for young workers helps them obtain certification to improve their options in the workforce.
The new electro-technician training is part of an initiative that includes the renovation of an existing space in the Don Bosco Technical High School to transform it into a workshop. The initiative aims to respond to the needs of the labor market while ensuring youth have access to vocational and technical training that aids them in finding long-term stable work. The electro-technician course will be opened each year to 90 high school students and 30 uncertified electricians.
Operate colleges & universities
The Salesian-run Mother Patern College of Health Sciences at Stella Maris Polytechnic provides degrees in several disciplines in the health and science fields, and graduates go on to be lab technicians, nurses, physician assistants, social workers and nursing educators. A donation to the school provided more than 400 students with donated textbooks to assist them in their studies.
Rescue children facing adversity
For many children and youth in Liberia, their childhood seems lost to the years of war. Former child soldiers are among the most vulnerable victims in Liberia, as the country continues to struggle in the aftermath of the devastating civil war.
Physical wounds heal over time, but the emotional and psychological wounds that both male and female child soldiers face can take a lifetime to heal. Special counseling is provided to these traumatized youth in an effort to rehabilitate and guide them into a responsible and productive lifestyle. The emotional support, education and job placement provided by the Salesians plays a large role in helping these young people overcome their ordeals.
Respond to disasters & emergencies
Salesian missionaries, already living and working in the country, are part of the National Catholic Task Force, which first responded to the Ebola outbreak when it began with the first Liberian case in March 2014. By October, the virus had spread to all 15 counties of Liberia with the number of cases overwhelming health facilities and workers, forcing many hospitals to close down.
The Salesian-run Mother Patern College of Health Sciences, one of five colleges that make up the Stella Maris Polytechnic University in Monrovia, was on the front lines of the Ebola crisis with all 63 of its staff reassigned to address the Ebola outbreak. The College administers programs in health education and HIV/AIDS, offers courses in primary health care and degrees in nursing, social work, laboratory technology and biology.
Salesian missionaries provided education about Ebola and preventative measures with various programs throughout Liberia. In addition, fortified rice-meals and boxes of hand soap were donated to Salesian programs in the country thanks to an ongoing partnership between Salesian Missions and Rise Against Hunger.
Once the transmission of Ebola slowed, Salesian missionaries turned their attention to educating and preparing teachers for the re-opening of schools. School buildings and classrooms were thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, and educators took part in training about Ebola. Salesian missionaries also turned their attention to helping Ebola orphans. Missionaries in Liberia report close to 530 children who have lost both of their parents to Ebola and another 153 who have lost either their father or mother to the virus across the three West African countries affected. Salesian programs are working to connect orphans with other relatives or with educational programs and orphanages that will help to provide ongoing care and education. Other Salesian programs provide for the basic needs of Ebola orphans including food, medical care and education.
Provide youth centers & safe activities
The Don Bosco Youth Center provides a foundation of education and support for young students who would otherwise have limited opportunities to better their lives. After school, from 4 to 6 p.m., students have access to the Don Bosco Youth Center. Located in the capital city of Monrovia, the Center gives former child soldiers and other young people the opportunity to experience some of the joys of childhood.
Youth can participate in recreational activities and sports. They receive recreation counseling each day in activities from chess to football. Some participate in a cultural troupe where they sing, dance, act, practice African acrobatics and even perform at local functions.
But it's more than just play and recreation at the Youth Center. In addition, youth have access to vocational training and academic courses. The Center also offers a women's development program for women to learn self-reliance.
In addition, Salesian missionaries in Tappita, a village 400 kilometers from Monrovia, operate a summer camp for youth during July and August when school is closed. Known as Holiday Camp, the program helps ensure that youth are engaged in safe and healthy activities throughout the summer months. During school breaks, even during the school year, youth typically follow their parents into the countryside to sell bags of water, candies and biscuits to make enough money to put food on the table. The camp provides a time for youth to relax, learn new skills and spend time with peers.
Holiday Camp runs all day and includes lunch. Classes are offered in computers, drawing, music, dance, baking and preparing desserts, and tailoring and sewing. There are also social activities that include communal games, quiz competitions, dance competitions and drama performances. Youth are broken up into four teams for camp activities. They earn points by participating in the various games and lessons and at the end of camp, everyone is awarded prizes.
Deliver life-saving meals
Youth participating in programs operated by Don Bosco Matadi in Monrovia, Liberia have access to better nutrition thanks to an ongoing partnership between Salesian Missions and Feed My Starving Children, a nonprofit Christian organization committed to "feeding God's children hungry in body and spirit." The fortified rice-meals provided by Feed My Starving Children are given to students during the school day and for some, the meals are the only ones they have each day.
At least six shipments of rice-meals were made over a period of two years. Many were utilized during the Ebola crisis, which continues to affect the many families living in Matadi who lost family members, including primary wage-earners.
Fortified rice-meals and boxes of hand soap were also donated to Salesian programs in Liberia thanks to an ongoing partnership between Salesian Missions and Rise Against Hunger, an international relief organization that provides food and life-changing aid to the world's most vulnerable.
The shipment of boxes of hand soap was provided as emergency assistance to those affected by Ebola, particularly the young and the poor. The contents of the shipment were shared among organizations that make up the National Catholic Task Force, including Salesian missionaries, which came together to address the Ebola crisis.
Deliver essential equipment & supplies
The Salesian-run Mary Help of Christians Catholic High School, the Blessed Sandor Matadi Salesian Community offices and the Holy Innocents Matadi Foundation office, all located in Liberia's capital city of Monrovia, received new furniture thanks to an ongoing partnership between Salesian Missions and IRN-The Reuse Network. More than 500 students benefited from the new furniture which is being used in classrooms, libraries, laboratories and school offices.
New desks, chairs, tables, bookcases and filing cabinets were among the furniture received in Monrovia. Desks and chairs help to provide a more dignified and organized educational environment for students to complete their studies. As a result, students are often more focused on classroom work and more prepared for their lessons.
Improve infrastructure
Salesian missionaries were able to build and equip a new science lab and expand courses to accommodate new students at the Mary Help of Christians Catholic School Matadi in Monrovia, thanks to Salesian Missions donors. Mary Help of Christians School provides a foundation of education and support for young students who would otherwise have limited opportunities to better their lives. The school started in 1993 and serves just over 560 students. It includes a feeding program which serves over 100 of its students and ensures that those in need receive a nutritious meal each day.

While your new home is being constructed in the factory, not only are there additional inspections from an outside third party inspection agency and higher quality control, but our building materials are never exposed to the elements. This contributes to a cleaner home and one that has a far lower chance for mold, mildew, and pest infestation. The key to quality built modular homes is the use of protected materials and eliminating weather related issues. By keeping all building materials true and square, your home will be built to the highest quality possible.
Structurally, modular homes have to be built much stronger than site built homes. This is because each module must be engineered to independently tolerate the forces of shipment to your home site and then being raised with straps by a crane and set onto your foundation. Once together and with connections completed, the modules transform into one integrated wall, floor and roof assembly. Some complicated finishes need completion onsite and are scheduled for done quickly after the installation of the modules on the foundation. You should anticipate moving into your new home in as little as 4-6 weeks after delivery of your home to your job site.
With today's sophisticated computer modeling and the growing requirement for high performance, energy efficient custom homes; modular construction is a natural fit to fill the need. Many areas call for the use of the HERS Index to measure energy efficiency of new homes. The HERS index is a scoring system developed by the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) in which a home built to the specifications of the HERS Reference Home scores a HERS Index of 100, while a net zero energy home scores a HERS Index of 0. The lower a home's HERS Index, the more energy efficient it is in comparison to the HERS Reference Home. Modular homes can typically reach scores of 50 – 60 with negligible extra costs or changes to our normal building method.
What is Express Modular? Express Modular is a nationwide modular home provider that helps you build your new custom home and do it at the best value possible. How? By giving you access to our nationwide network of state-of-the-art facilities that lead the industry in modular home design and quality for custom home building in Arkansas.

6 Video games that have taken us to hell on Earth: Chernobyl
The Chernobyl nuclear accident had a major impact on popular culture, starring and inspiring films and novels. Also video games have found in the ruins of the ghost town of Pripyat and the famous Exclusion Zone inspiration for some proposals, being the saga S.T.A.L.K.E.R. possibly the best known. But it is not the only one.
Chernobyl is back in the news. More than three decades after the tragic accident of the Ukrainian nuclear power plant Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, a recent and successful series of the HBO streaming network has resurrected the ghosts of that nightmare. An accident that crystallized all the existing fears around the exploitation of nuclear energy and that supposed to a terrible episode in the history of the XX Century whose important video games have also inherited certain elements.
The ruins of this city have seen us staging tense military incursions and exciting battles against mutants. We equipped our anti-radiation suit, the geiger counter and reviewed 6 video games that have taken us to Chernobyl.
Chernobylite The alpha version of Chernobylite has revealed an intense multiplayer experience in which the players must try their best to survive. The Farm 51 bet on an interesting plot, terror and action in the famous Exclusion Zone, faithfully recreated thanks to the Unreal Engine 4 graphic engine.
Chernobyl Underground This independent game It led to a worryingly close year 2020, in which the economic crisis has made the Exclusion Zone to testing ground for military contractors. There the player becomes a mercenary who must try new military technology, and incidentally, try to survive in a violent reality show.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Infinity Ward designed for this unforgettable game one of the most emblematic levels of the franchise: Pripyat. An infiltration mission that takes us to explore the empty streets and buildings of a magnificent recreation of the most recognizable areas of this city near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The huge wheel of the amusement park is already an icon of the saga.
Snatcher In 1988, just two years after the tragic accident, Hideo Kojima moved the Ukrainian nuclear disaster to the city fictional Chernoton. The area contaminated by this weapon becomes uninhabitable for the future of the life of the world. It begins to break through in a futuristic society that owes much to the Blade Runner movie.
Survarium The cancellation of an early sequel to STALKER I have made some of your managers recycle ideas and mechanics of that project in this massive multiplayer. Its plot drinks from the science fiction novel Extraterrestrial Picnic, where an ecological accident makes the area an uninhabitable environment for human beings.
STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl This title proposes a second accident in Chernobyl as a result of which a large territory was created, dominated by terror and death: the Zone. In it mysterious energetic investigations have managed to create some strange anomalies in which some coveted artifacts that confer superhuman abilities appear.
Recommended: Death Stranding will bring "something new" & quot; to open world games.

Voris: "Also need to stop covering up sex abuse in the SSPX"

Sin ,everyone sins its in our nature but with the grace of God ,we hope to sin less ,But the promotion of sin as normal is evil
Because one may not agree with someone else's point of view doesn't necessarily translate to having 'one's head in the sand.' As for MV's 'opportunistic quip' against the SSPX, he just can't help himself.

Because one may not agree with someone else's point of view doesn't necessarily translate to having 'one's head in the sand.' As for MV's 'opportunistic quip' against the SSPX, he just can't help himself. How much he himself, sought understanding and redemption relating to his own 'shortcomings,' beggars disbelief, given his vitriol towards others, who don't measure up to his own new-found high level of purity. A reminder Michael, and to his 'followers', "He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone....." As for the origins of CM's vitriol towards the SSPX, only MV can tell us why. That not being forthcoming. Hiding behind alleged sinfulness of others is hardly the measure of good journalism let alone a demonstration Catholic Charity towards "thy neighbour." You may believe everything that is sullied against the SSPX, for most assuredly the Society is not without sin or fault, yet it continues to flourish and it continues to be the inspiration for all other Traditional movements and Tradition, per se. In the final analyses, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre's legacy is that of preserving the Traditional Faith and who would argue against such a legacy?
Jeffrey Ade
Controlled opposition.
If you like to have your head burried in the sand ,dont watch ,these 2 men that are doing a service in informing catholics .For sure they dont please everyone ,who would ? ,Would st John the Baptist considered a nut in our age mostly likely ,The Truth will always set you free .those who criticise the Dr Taylor ,could start their own pod cast .PERIOD
Yawn! Anyway, it's an unfair comparison for St John the Baptist, he wasn't a Doctor.
HaHa Ha
Two nutters going at it. What's the calumny about that ? (Sorry, I forgot to say one is a Doctor, did I say Doctor? I did say Doctor didn't I ? Can't be too careful about titles)

Chuck D and DMC on hip hop and America Pt1
by Chuck D June 6, 2009 September 23, 2020
In a series of groundbreaking interviews produced by TRNN, Chuck D interviews fellow rap artists DMC and Joost about politics, the economy and their music while bringing African American history and music into context. Together we explore the current state of rap music and its societal impact.
CHUCK D, RAPTAVIST, MEMBER OF PUBLIC ENEMY: Chuck D for The Real News Network. This is On The Real Off The Record. Hey, I really—you know, I could be speechless because there's so much to say about this brother who's an icon, you know, my idol. He's just, like, one of the greatest MCs to ever touch the microphone. And since we're in a time and a day where people kind of look at hip hop icons or they look at the hip hop art form as being the art form around the whole entire planet, you would be remiss to not even think that Run-D.M.C. is the reason that we're all here. It's the reason I'm here. And I'd like to, you know, just tell you that D.M.C. is in the house, my brother.
D.M.C.: Yeah, it's the only place to be, Chuck D.
CHUCK D: D.M.C. in the place to be. In this time and day, you know, President Barack Obama asking for accountability and responsibility, and people looking at hip hop and rap music as being this great communicator—.
Music Clip: Public Enemy, "Black is Back"
So what they got you think is hot
But the real things in life your soul forgot
Don't hear it on the radio or MTV
And I damn don't know about B.E.T.
We got to get them straight
CHUCK D: I've never heard MCs or rappers actually talking about real things that real people want to hear to real people.
D.M.C.: [inaudible] Well, first of all, you've got a lot of people in the business, those certain MCs who are probably 25 and up, but they're acting and dressing like children. So when Chuck D shows up and speaks on the issues of life, you know, politics, economics, family, education, or when D.M.C. does it, or when KRS-One does it, or, you know, even when somebody like Nas does it, or, you know, especially when Afrika Bambaataa or you hear Flash and them do it, when I go and speak to kids—I go to colleges and I go to high schools, and recently I started going to the middle schools, which is crazy, speaking to the, you know, sixth graders and—.
CHUCK D: And seventh and eighth.
D.M.C.: Yeah, that's really big there. But a lot of the kids—and, also, a lot of them are so-called "younger peers" of this new generation of hip hop—they look at me and go, "D.M.C., you're just saying that because, you know, you're 40 years old now, you've been in hip hop for 25 years, and, you know, you're more educated and more mature." And I've got to look at these young brothers and sisters and say, you know, "That may be true, but I've been saying this since I was 12 years old."
CHUCK D: Right.
D.M.C.: They don't know that most of the great rappers who, when you say "hip hop", the first names and ideas in music and images come in your head, they don't know that most of those rappers have been writing like this since they were probably 12 to no older than, let's say, 23 years old. You know. And what's bad about this situation with this hip hop music is when you have the executives or the music business people go, "Hip hop is a young person's music," and, you know, you've got people in the game who is doing hip hop going, you know, "When I hit 30, 35 years old, I won't even be doing hip hop anymore." I think what happened over the years is that they took the value of what hip hop meant to the audience and they threw it in the gutter. I mean, even before hip hop records was made, when you stepped to that microphone, you knew you had a responsibility. You know, you look at Rakim, he could have made a record that said, "I'm Rakim Allah, stick-up kid, and I do all of this," and he could have probably sold 16 million records, you know, the way some of these artists who talk about those certain issues and conditions in our society. But he said, "I used to roll up, 'This is a hold up.'" So all the stick-up kids and the drug dealers, that was even more inspiring to them, because here is a guy that is rocking the mic, who is like a god to them, who's talking about the things that we do or we had to do just to get by. There's a guy that did it, but hes' talking about it in a positive way. So these guys were inspired. They say, "Yo, that's real cool." But it's different, because the corporations or the companies or the media don't realize that hip hop has a sacredness to it, and it was always about responsibility.
CHUCK D: On all parts, because, you know, we were talking, you know, earlier off-camera, and we said what the difference is is that when somebody like Jay-Z says he used to sell crack, in the media, and everybody looking to do their particular job, for whatever it might be, will up-play that; instead of, you know, up-playing the positive aspect, they'll go back. And whereas somebody like Rakim might have said this is what he used to do, there was always a surrounding care and concern around hip hop that says, yeah, we know that, but we won't up-play that.
D.M.C.: Exactly. That exactly. If Rakim said that now, they would only focus on "He's the stick-up kid," and they would only go at him for more stick-up kid business and the dirt and crime. Like, when I said, "I'm D.M.C. in the place to be. I go to St. John's University," they don't focus on that.
Music clip: Sucker Mc's, Graffiti Rock, 1984
CHUCK D: It sent so many people to college. It sent so many people to St. John's.
D.M.C.: Right. I was just—but I was just going to say that, because if there's an instance I'm on the radio and they do the call-in and say, "Yo, man, I'm from LA. And just for you and Run saying it—you didn't preach it—just for you and Run saying that, man, I dropped out the gang, I stopped selling drugs. I went and got a GED. I went and got a GED, and I got into community college, and I realized there was a whole world of opportunity that existed for me." And he said, "That was because of hip hop. Man, I'm in a million-dollar house with [inaudible] outside. That's just for you saying that." But when I look at Time Magazines and Forbes, they'll write about a rapper, "a former crack dealer turned CEO of his own company," and they'll play up this crack, and they'll talk about how many bricks he cooked. And then the rapper's still rapping about the bricks that he cooked and stuff like that. They don't realize, like you said, this guy gots a million people looking at him. And for me it's not a personal attack on these artists, or it's not against—I don't even know them personally. But when they write, "former crack dealer who is now CEO," it makes these kids in the hood saying, "It's okay to sell crack, 'cause I could be famous," which is contrary—that's not true.
CHUCK D: And it's the bread crumbs that leave that, and anybody that thinks that they want to be an MC, which used to be, like, "Okay, I'll tell the truth. I have these dreams ever since, you know, rap was alive, if you wanted to go back to records, you know, like, "Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn."
D.M.C.: But he wanted a Lincoln Continental and a pool.
CHUCK D: Right, he wanted those things, and he didn't try to figure it out, you know, but dealt with the truth.
D.M.C.: But you knew there was a standard.
CHUCK D: Right. Right.
D.M.C.: You knew, okay, for me to be a rapper, I've got to clean up my act. I've got to say something positive. You know what I'm saying?
CHUCK D: Can't use the same word over and over again.
D.M.C.: Over and over. It's like this. If you make a record about a gun with hip hop—I don't care about any other music—if you make a record about a gun, you have to, because it's hip hop—and the record companies, they need to hear this, and the artists today need to—if you make a record about a gun, you have to make a record about not using a gun. If you make a record about a bitch and a ho, you have to make a record about Ms. McGillicutty, because a lot of these rappers, they'll use the excuse, "Man, we only rap about what we see." I don't care if it's a dirt-poor ghetto in Little Rock, Arkansas, growing up, you knew there was that one lady who got up every morning, went to the bus stop, rode two hours to clean a house, and came back. She sent all her kids to college. Rapper man, your responsibility is to rap about that.
CHUCK D: 'Cause you see that—not only do you see that, but you know that. And so you're saying that, you know, these elements surrounding over the last 25 years has led [to] a lot of rappers who basically might believe one thing but feel like they're forced to say another.
D.M.C.: Exactly. That's what's happening. And we didn't want, really, public approval. It's like, you know, a lot of rappers say, "Man, I just do that 'cause that's what the people want. You know, I've got to get people to like me." We didn't want you to like me. For instance, there's something you said earlier. When we used to walk the line to go to the MTV Music Awards, like, I was sitting—a couple of years ago, I was sitting there downstairs with a young white kid. He knows Dr. Dre, he knows Jay-Z, he knows Run-D.M.C., but he also knows Led Zeppelin and he loves Rick Rubin. So we're sitting there watching the VMAs when it first went to Miami. So I'm sitting there, 'cause I was talking about him producing some music for me. And he goes, "D.M.C, what do you think about this? Is this what hip cop came to? And what do you think about this?" And, you know, I don't pay attention to MTV, 'cause there's nothing there for me. And I'm looking, and I'm looking, and I'm like, wow, this is crazy, because I'm watching the VJ go—you've got the superstars coming up—Game, and 50, and Ludacris, [inaudible] Diddy, and everybody. And they're coming up the ramp, the red carpet, and they've got their cars to do the hopping and rims and stuff like that. And the VJ runs up to them and goes, "Hey, man, what kind of rims is that on your car?" and he does like this. And then a rapper answers him! And then he goes, "Hey, man, what kind of jewels is them?" "Man, this is my Jacob now." If you look at hip hop, even when they try to tease us, when they [inaudible] do a comedy, they'll have the three-striped Adidas suits, Adidas, the Gazelles, the whole Run-D.M.C. look. But they're doing that, even though they're teasing, there's a respect there, because this is good. It's the standard. This is the standard. And I'm looking at them, I'm going, oh my God. Then I thought about Jay, because we used to walk the MTV line, and if a guy was to say, "Jay, is that a Dookie rope on you?" Jay would be like, "Man, you ask me that stupid question again, I'm going to smack you in your face," because what they used to ask us was this: "Yo, Run-D.M.C., why did you say what you said?" And we was able to relay why we said that. "And why did you make that music? What made you make that album?" Those are the kind of questions we used to get on the red carpet. And just for our audience hearing that, there was always change in the community. See, I try to tell people the reason why rap did what it did, it changed the world: because it was good. Even if it wasn't NWA or Just-Ice or KRS-One or Run-D.M.C. or Public Enemy, all those different ideas and concepts was put on a record, but it was presented to you in a responsible manner.
CHUCK D: And in respect to the standard.
D.M.C.: And in respect to the standard.
CHUCK D: We're going to go to another segment. This is Chuck D On The Real Off The Record with the king of rock himself, Mr. Darryl McDaniels, Mr. D.M.C., when we return to burn. Keep it locked, because this is going to be a long, good one. Alright?
Carlton Douglas Ridenhour (born August 1, 1960 in Roosevelt, New York), better known by his stage name, Chuck D, is an American rapper, author, and producer. He helped create politically and socially conscious rap music in the late 1980s as the leader of the rap group, Public Enemy.

Polestar's First Ever Car is a 600hp Hybrid Heart-Throb
Automotive News 44 October 19, 2017 by Joe Donaldson
We first told you about the Polestar spinoff from Volvo back in June. Back then we knew the company planned to bring out several electrified models including a sports car. We just didn't expect it to get going so quickly, or for the car to be a rocket ship.
Polestar has now unveiled its first car as an independent company. Dubbed the Polestar 1, it's everything we expect from a Volvo offshoot combining Swedish styling and loads of power.
The car is a plug-in hybrid and the power is split between a fuel engine in the front and two electric motors in the rear. The gas-powered engine, a twincharged, 2-liter four-pot, drives the front wheels and puts down 377hp. Powering the rear wheels are a pair of electric motors good for 215hp. The combined system output is 592hp, with 731lbft of torque.
Polestar hasn't made any performance data available for the car, but we wager the 0-60mph time starts with a two. Top speed is probably limited with battery power in mind, but expect it to hit 155mph.
The performance doesn't just end with the horsepower though. The Polestar 1 is a sports coupe through and through.
The suspension uses the Öhlins Continuously Controlled Electronic Suspension system. This trick suspension adapts to road conditions as you drive along making sure you get the most performance and comfort possible out of the car. The driver can also adjust the system from inside the car too.
To stop the car, Polestar has fitted some monster brakes at all four corners. Using a set of 400mm Akebono rotors and six-piston monoblock calipers, the Polestar should stop on a dime.
Moving on to the design, there's obvious similarities to the Volvo S90. However, Polestar has adapted that car's classic Scandinavian styling to a coupe form — like the Volvo P1800 of old. It's simple, but really works and makes the car nice to look at without being flashy.
One of our favorite parts on the car though is the headlights. Polestar stuck with the Volvo lamps that use a stylized Thor's hammer design for the running lights — that's pure Sweden.
Another unique feature shows itself when you pop the trunk. Polestar used a clear display panel to show off all the electrical connectors. Standing out in bright orange it gives the car a sci-fi feel. It's gimmicky for sure, and it serves a safety purpose as all high-voltage lines in cars must be orange, but we love it.
The only real major downside to the car is its purchase model, or rather lack thereof. Upon its release, you won't actually buy a Polestar one, but rather subscribe to it. With no down payments or even the need to set foot in a dealership, you can simply subscribe to the Polestar using your smartphone. Once your subscription is placed, a Polestar 1 shows up at your house much like the Sunday paper.
The subscription fees include not only the car though, but all maintenance too. Using an app you can call for any repairs or general maintenance you might need and someone will swing by and take care of it for you. You can even request a car wash if you so choose.
For a small additional charge, you'll also be able to get accessories when needed. Polestar states that if you plan on taking a ski trip for the weekend and need a roof rack, simply order one and someone will fit it. Once you return home simply let Polestar know and it will collect the car from you.
The subscription period will be either two or three years. However, it does include the ability to request a short-term use of larger Volvo vehicles so you aren't stuck with a sports coupe if you're planning a family trip.
It's not a model for someone who prefers to own their car or even modify it in any way. But this will attract those who lease vehicles or also want the latest and greatest.
There's no word on what the monthly fee is, but since insurance and everything else comes with it, don't expect it to be cheap. Fuel economy is also under wraps for now. However, the car shares a platform, its petrol engine and part of the hybrid system with the Volvo S90 T8, so figure on something close to that car's 142mpg rating, or about 40mpg in the real world. Still, that's not bad with 600hp on tap.
On electric power only, the Polestar 1 totes a range of around 90 miles. That's nearly four times further than the Toyota Prius Prime. You also get the added bonus of not driving a Prius too!
The car will use a Phone-as-Key technology which means your smartphone acts as a way to access your vehicle. We told you about the dangers of this when Ford briefly forgot about its app for iOS 11. The likelihood for issues here is very real, however, we are sure Polestar will work it out prior to release.
The Polestar 1 will start production around mid-2019, but you can get your name on a list now.
In addition to the Polestar 1, the company gave a preview of their future roadmap as well. Towards the end of 2019, the Polestar 2 will start production. This will be a smaller, less expensive fully electric car set to compete with the Tesla Model 3. After the Polestar 2 debut, Polestar will roll out a model called — you guessed it — 3. This will be a full EV SUV that will set its sights on the Tesla Model X.
Thankfully, Polestar is using a naming convention that isn't confusing. Even if it's a little dull, it's still better than the mess Audi uses.

Having gel memory foam built into the bottom of the cover and also a layer of memory foam beneath, the Nectar contours well, but does not have the same hug frequently associated with memory foam beds. Both the gel memory foam along with the absence of sink-in feel mean the Nectar sleeps significantly cooler than most memory foam models.
A support core consisting of high-density polyfoam is built to withstand the test of time. Given its makeup, we expect the Nectar to survive at least 7-8 years, making it a durable choice. The Nectar is hard to beat at this price, so if you're looking for an affordable bed built with quality materials, your search can end here.
Launched in 2017, Nectar Mattress has become one of the most popular brands in the mattress market. The Nectar is an affordable and great investment for your home and here is why. While the company features an adjustable frame and foundation, its flagship mattress is still its crowning jewel, mixing thick layers of memory foam with a breathable base for intense relaxation. It also contains cooling properties that wick heat away from your body as you sleep. Nectar uses a combination of memory foam, base foam and gel quilting foam that provides a supportive sleep surface. You'll surely experience that contour feel you expect from a memory foam mattress. That's five layers of customization and comfort for your body.
The most notable aspect of the Nectar's construction is the amazing 4″ of memory foam top layer, which results in a significant amount of body sinkage and contouring. This is an all-foam mattress made up of three distinct layers that stack as much as an 11″ profile.
First, the cover is comprised of both cotton and Tencel, an eco-friendly material known for its breathability and softness. With that there is an inch of gel memory foam quilted into the cover, which provides the sleeper with instant comfort. The combination of the gel infusion and Tencel fibers make for an ultra-cool coating that'll help regulate temperatures while you sleep.
The 2nd layer is 3 inches of memory foam, the Comfort Layer. This material has a remarkably slow response to pressure, allowing you to really sink in for some satisfying pressure relief. As the foam shapes to the curves of your body, you're most likely to feel like you're sleeping more "in" the bed than "on top" of it, which is a perfect fit and a pleasant feel for side sleepers in need of cushiony support at the shoulders and hips.
Up next you'll find a transitional layer of memory foam, which has a slightly quicker response to pressure than the foams above it. This section is meant to alleviate the sleeper into the firmer foundation below, helping to extend the shaping of the comfort layer deeper into the mattress.
After taking a look at the construction of the mattress, let's talk about the feel and firmness. By putting some light hand pressure into the mattress you will find that immediately you'll be feeling the thick layers of memory foam up top. Lying down you will feel yourself sinking into the mattress, with the gentle foams contouring around you.
Another important part is pressure, or more specifically where pressure points are most likely to shape while laying on top of the mattress. To help you visualize where these pressure points may be, I've listed the parts of the body where majority of people feel most pressure when sleeping.
Stomach – Regrettably, this comfort does not totally carry over for the stomach area. The thick layers of memory foam causes the hip area to sink out of alignment with the shoulders, which makes for a little tension along the spine. In general, stomach sleepers usually opt for firmer mattresses, so I was not overly surprised by this result.
Upon further research, the top thick layers from Nectar's memory foam work to dampen movement throughout the structure, ensuring that you won't be too bothered by your mattress partner's tossing and turning at night.
Testing out the Nectar mattress, I was really stunned by the feeling of the foam. Because as I rolled and moved around the bed I actually felt like I was sinking just enough and not too much. Having said that, I decided to find out the actual sinkage measurements for the Nectar. I was quite amazed by how much I sank into the memory foam top layers. Based on our research: 45kg or 100lbs created 15.24cm of sinkage. That's 6cm for a 100 pound human being. It is safe to say, you're still more likely to feel as though you're sleeping "in" the Nectar rather than "on top" of it.
The mattress fares well compared to other memory foam mattresses which come in at a higher price. With very positive consumer evaluations on comfort, bounce, construction, and additional advantages, the Nectar is a very good buy for the money.
Now that we've broken down the specific, nitty-gritty details of the Nectar, let's expand the scope and take a peek at some of its main rivals in the game. While each bed has unique characteristics that make it a distinctive product in the market, it can be useful to contextualize these distinctions against other mattresses. Plus, who does not love a tiny cross-referencing before making a big purchase?
You can even use the Nectar directly on the ground if that is what you'd like to do. Just make sure there is not any moisture or water around.
In addition, it's one-year risk-free sleep trial,"Forever Warranty", free shipping, easy return/refund procedure and very affordable pricing finalize the extended list of quality attributes and choices offered to customers in the time of their first purchase and thereafter. | {

and it all started with design.
My given name is Gary Law and I am web developer originally qualified in graphic design but now with over 14 years of experience in front-end and back-end development and a natural obsession with current trends, standards and best practices in code and design.
In more recent years I have been dedicated to a few specific teams yet my inquisitive and adaptable nature and ability to quickly assimilate new skills when required has resulted in a diverse set of responsibilities within these teams. Now I all these skills are part of the package that I offer to any new project.
The Technologies I Work With.
The multitude of previous responsibilities has resulted in a wide range of knowledge in technologies, languages, environments and general workflow utilities. Here you can see an overview of those that I work with now and have experience with.
Those that I generally favor and primarily work with today.
Those that I have worked with in the past and revisit when need be.
Those that I look forward to using in commercial projects.
Just a few of those that are part of everyday workflow.
Looking over my work history will give you a more in depth view of the projects I have worked on and the consequential exposure to technologies.
I currently work mostly as a remote developer but respect that sometimes you just need to be there and so I am always happy to consider projects that require some on-site collaboration and communication. I am happy to give free consultation to talk about your requirements so get in touch.
I am very comfortable with, and probably most experienced working as an integrated member of a development team yet I am very happy to bring my development and architectural experience to hand with a crazy startup or just smaller projects that would require more direction.
Due to the fact that I could be working in various parts of the world at any one time it is always best to make contact via email so if you wish to talk about a project please do that. | {

Geelong mayor ready to advocate for Shell
By Sarah Malik
From: AAP
GEELONG'S mayor is prepared to ask for federal and Victorian government assistance to prop up the local Shell refinery, with an oil company executive saying its future is "borderline".
Shell says its Geelong refinery is facing challenges, including more competition from new mega-refineries in Asia, after its global downstream director Mark Williams said the operation of the refinery was "questionable" given the challenges.
"It's borderline," Mr Williams told the Australian Financial Review.
"It depends a lot on how it performs over the next few years whether or not it will ultimately be a survivor."
Geelong mayor John Mitchell said he would seek talks with the company and advocate on behalf of Shell for federal and state government assistance if necessary.
"We've done that in the past with other industries and we've been very successful," Mr Mitchell told AAP on Tuesday.
Shell, which is closing its Clyde refinery in Sydney at the end of this month, said Australian refining was part of a highly competitive global market.
"Geelong Refinery faces challenges, including increased competition from new mega-refineries in Asia," company spokesman Paul Zennaro said in a statement.
"Shell employees are working to make the refinery more competitive with a continued focus on safety, while enhancing profitable niche products including Avgas, bitumen and solvents."
Mr Mitchell said Shell had not asked for help and he trusted the company would overcome its problems.
"It didn't say it was closing down," he said.
"They're working towards maintaining their viability."
A Victorian government spokeswoman said the Australian refining sector, like others, was facing major challenges.
"That's why we have been calling on the Gillard government to address issues that impact Australia's competitiveness," she added, pointing to rising energy prices and the carbon tax.
She said the state government committed $4 million to a Geelong-focused assistance fund in June.
Shell said it recently invested $47.5 million in a new water processing plant and $20 million in new bitumen facilities at the Geelong facility.
The plant, one of the largest hydrocarbon refineries in Australia, employs more than 400 people on site.

Entry is free, so if you fancy a taste of a pig that came close to extinction just a few decades ago, pop along to Szabadság Tér for a bite of magnificent mangalica meat - said to be tastier and healthier than regular pork. As you may know, this festival is named after a delicious furry pig that's indigenous to Hungary, this year the event is held again in downtown Budapest between 9 - 11 January.
From the organiser, "Guests are guaranteed to get no fake goods as all products of the festivals are from checked stocks by the National Association of the Mangalica Breeders.
Exhibitors of the festival all sell their products from small wooden houses provided for them. The organizers of the festival also support the small domestic goods producers (home-made jam, syrup, honey, oil, spices, cheese makers etc.) therefore they also get market space at the event."
Venue: Budapest District 5, Szabadság square. | {

Rasavangi is very similar to arachuvitta sambar. They differ in the ingredients used for roasting and grinding. Whenever we buy the eggplant(brinjal) at home, my thatha(grandpa) will ask to make rasavangi. It is through him I came to know about this recipe. But this is the first time I made this at home. It differs in taste from arachuvitta samabar. And I felt that it suits best during winter and rainy days.
Wash the toor dal and pressure cook it. Cool it and mash well.
Add some water in tamarind and pressure cook it in a separate vessl along with the dhal.
In a Kadai, add a tsp of oil, fry all the ingredients mentioned under "roast and grind" till the coconut turns brown.
Grind it into a smooth paste with water.
In the same Kadai, fry the brinjals for 3 to 4 minutes.
Next add the tamarind extract, turmeric powder, jaggery and salt to taste.
Let this boil on medium flame till the brinjals are cooked.
Now add the cooked channa dhal. Mix well and let it come to a boil.
Then add the ground coconut paste, mix well and let it simmer for 4 to 5 minutes.
Heat a small frying pan with remaining oil. Add the mustard seeds and curry leaves.
Once they crackle, pour it over the prepared rasavangi. | {

"server-side processing" mode. Basically, we'd have to do all filtering

we switched to <a href="http://django-filter.readthedocs.org/">django-filter</a>.</dd>

Steven Jackson and Chris Reitsma will have a runoff for District 5 council seat.
A compelling race for a Wichita Falls City Council seat representing District 5 ended Tuesday night with newcomer Steve Jackson ahead, but having less than 50 percent of the total vote.
Jackson, Reitsma and incumbent Mitesh Desai competed for the council seat.
Jackson came out ahead with 49 percent of the vote with 958 votes to Reitsma's 536 and Desai's 451 votes.
Wichita County Clerk Lori Bohannon stated that there are still provisional ballots and military ballots that could come in, but said it is likely this race will have a runoff.
She said a candidate would need 50 percent plus one to win a multi-candidate race.
Desai served one term on council, but fell into third place among the three candidates.
Early on in the race, Reitsma stated that he no longer wanted the position and would not be conducting an active campaign.
Desai and Jackson both conducted active campaigns, displaying signs throughout the city.
Jackson ran on a simple platform of aiming to lower taxes, lower water rates and opposition to the proposed new hotel near the Multi-Purpose Events Center.
The disabled former aircraft mechanic at Sheppard Air Force Base said he has a great deal of love for the city and hopes to shine some more light on issues in the northern part of town.
No candidates for this race requested a meeting with the Times Record News Editorial Board so the board did not endorse either candidate.
At a League of Women Voters candidate forum, Desai attended the event, but neither Jackson or Reitsma attended so no candidates could formally speak at the forum.
After a ballot error on the first day of early voting, the entire District 5 councilor race was left off the ballot.
A Secretary of State decision stated the 29 voters who cast ballots before the error was noticed would not be able to vote again for the District race.
Jackson vowed to file a lawsuit against the city because of the mistake but dropped the issue a couple days before early voting ended saying he did not have the money to pursue the issue.
The candidate ran into trouble during the same time frame when social media messages came to light.
In the messages, Jackson expressed derogatory statements to Wichita Falls resident Paul Arbogast about certain religious groups, ethnic groups and Wichita County Judge Woody Gossom.
"We all make mistakes and say things to people that you trust, and then they turn on you," Jackson said in a Nov. 2 TRN story.
While rarely seen in a public forum, Jackson expressed his ideas on his Facebook campaign page and Facebook group site Wichita Falls Citizens Advocate.
Jackson is a lifelong Wichita Falls resident and said during his campaign that he is passionate about his hometown.
Jackson could not be reached for comment Tuesday night.
Mayor Steven Santellana said the runoff would be scheduled for a future date about six weeks from Election Day between Jackson and Reitsma.

The fix is in on Squamish Valley Road
Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure behind erosion repairs original called for by nuns

After residents of the Upper Squamish Valley — namely the nuns of the Queen of Peace Monastery — voiced their concerns about erosion near the only public link to the area, repairs have been made.
At the Oct. 23 Squamish-Lillooet Regional District board meeting, board chair and Area D director Tony Rainbow said he's received thanks from residents and the nuns for the recent repairs to the area — but the SLRD was not behind the work done.
Squamish man sentenced for Tim Hortons robbery
And it wasn't divine intervention.
Tom Cloutier, operations manager with Miller Capilano, confirmed the company did the work for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Miller Capilano normally undertakes highway maintenance on the Sea to Sky Highway, as well as side roads including the Squamish Valley Road, where the erosion and Pilchuck Bridge are located.
The work began on Sept. 3 and was completed by Sept. 26.
"I think what originally happened was it was being eroded, but very slowly. It wasn't really jeopardizing the road at the time, but there was high water prior to the start of September... It did a considerable amount of new erosion; it was in about four metres [from] the road. Then it became a bit of an emergency to get it done," Cloutier told The Chief.
In April, the nuns of the Queen of Peace Monastery sent the SLRD a letter asking for their help to advocate for repairs near the Pilchuck Bridge, citing concerns for loss of life if the bridge collapsed.
In response to the concerns, Rainbow said the SLRD had contacted the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to reiterate concerns.
"We wrote them a letter and basically said to them, 'This is nonsense. There must be some money available to spend now to prevent this bridge from getting washed away, rather than waiting until it gets washed away and then using emergency funds to fix it.' ... Without any reference to us, the job was done."
For some time, who did the work seemed a mystery.
During the October SLRD board meeting, its members weren't sure who was behind the repairs.
"Maybe it was God," Whistler Mayor and SLRD director Jack Crompton quipped.
Sister Claire Rolf, one of the nuns behind the original letter to the SLRD asking for help, said the sisters sent a thank you note to Miller Capilano for their work.
"It just feels a lot safer when those waters are really high. We're very grateful that it got done before there was an important accident. It might never have happened, but it could have," Rolf said.
Cloutier said the nuns weren't the only residents who took note of the repairs.
"During the work, we had visits from some of the residents up there, and they were all very happy it was being done. We liaised with the Squamish First Nation from the start of the project all the way through. We got some accolades after the fact from some of the residents and the sisters at the monastery there."

description: Learn how to manage tenant administrators in the Auth0 Dashboard.
topics:
- dashboard
- admins
contentType: how-to
useCase:
- manage-users
- manage-accounts
---
# Manage Tenant Administrators in the Dashboard
::: note
Please see [Reset Your Auth0 Account Password](/tutorials/reset-account-password) if you're having issues logging in.
:::
You can add, edit, and remove tenant administrators from the Dashboard by going to **Tenant Settings** > [Dashboard Admins](${manage_url}/#/tenant/admins).
::: warning
You are responsible for managing your tenant administrators, **including revoking privileges from users as necessary**. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account/tenant.
:::
## Add administrators
To add an administrator, enter their email and select the applications to which you would like this user to have administrative access in the **Application** box. Click **ADD**.
When the recipient opens and accepts the invitation, the current Auth0 account in the browser will be added as a Dashboard Admin (as long as the user is logged in with an account linked to the email address to which the invitation was sent; if not, the user will be prompted to log in with an account linked to the invitation email address). If there is no current session, the recipient will be prompted to log in or create an Auth0 account.
::: note
If the invited administrator has not created an Auth0 admin user account, they will need to do so in order to be able to accept the invitation and log into the Management Dashboard. Auth0 admin users are managed separately from tenant users; accounts can be created by following the invitation URL or signing up through [auth0.com/signup](https://auth0.com/signup).
:::
Administrators are application-specific, so areas to which the admin doesn't have access rights (e.g., APIs, Rules, Hooks, Universal Login Pages, and so on) will appear as blank pages. Administrators will also *not* be allowed to manage users, create rules, and perform other functions for applications to which they don't have access.
::: panel Application-Specific Access
Application-specific access includes the following:
* Read and write access to the specific application configuration
* Read access to enabled connections for the application
* Ability to configure add-ons for the specific application
* Read (not write) access to all user records
In addition, a user can be invited to be an administrator for multiple applications, but each application invite must be sent and accepted individually.
:::
## Update administrators
To update the email address associated with an existing tenant administrator, send an invite using the new email address. Once they accept the invite, you can remove the tenant administrator associated with the old email address.
### Remove administrators
You can remove administrators by clicking **REMOVE** after they have been added.
## Add, change or remove MFA
The administrator can self-enroll for [Multi-factor Authentication](/mfa). The MFA indicator will indicate whether an administrator has enabled their account for MFA, which they can do in their Account Settings.
### Add MFA
To self-enroll for MFA, the administrator should click on their user name in the top right and going to **View Profile** in the dropdown menu.
Click **Enroll your device now.**
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the enrollment.
### Remove or change MFA
You can remove or change factors if they are lost.
If you are changing devices and will no longer have your device, remove it by verifying MFA with that device. You will be prompted for it, and then it will be removed. If you no longer have access to your device, you can use your recovery code to do this process with the same results. Then, you can add a new device.
If you no longer have access to your device or recovery code, another admin should file an Auth0 [support ticket](/support/tickets) on your behalf so Auth0 can verify the request and proceed with an MFA reset. This only applies for Dashboard Admin accounts. **Auth0 will not process end-user accounts MFA resets**, as we do not have control over our customer's tenants.
## Add Support-Only Users
If you want to allow employees of your organization to have access to our [Support Center](https://support.auth0.com), but you don't want to give them complete Administrator access over the tenant or a particular application, you can alternatively add them as Support-Only users. If that's the case, please follow the instructions described in our [Support Options](/support#add-support-only-users) documentation.
## Find missing tenants
We've occasionally found that Dashboard administrations inadvertently create multiple Auth0 accounts. For example, they might sign up with a social provider (e.g., Google, GitHub), then sign up again using the email address. If you have a Dashboard administrator that reports that they cannot see all of their tenants after logging in, check to see if they have multiple Auth0 accounts.
You can confirm the signup method used by the Dashboard adminsitrator by going to **Tenant Settings** > [**Dashboard Admins**](${manage_url}/#/tenant/admins).

Consumer Multiculturation: Consequences of Multicultural Identity Dynamics for Consumption
KIPNIS, YEVA (2015) Consumer Multiculturation: Consequences of Multicultural Identity Dynamics for Consumption. Doctoral thesis, Durham University.
Available under License Creative Commons Attribution Non-commercial Share Alike 3.0 (CC BY-NC-SA).
As national markets of many countries around the world continue evolving as arenas of 'lived multiculture' (Neal et al., 2013), it becomes crucial for marketers to know how to align their activities to the complex sociocultural dynamics in consumer spheres. Individual identities "continually evolve overtime" (Kleine and Kleine, 2000: p279) and can be transformed through one's life experiences. Resultant from these transformations, varying and composite identities emerge that integrate a range of differing, complex cultural dispositions and drive consumer desires for this diversity to be visualised in cultural meanings of brands. Hence, understanding whether and how cultural identity dispositions form and evolve as a result of one's being in lived multiculture environment is crucial for the study of culture-informed consumption. While there has been sustained interest in cultural identity complexities of ethnic migrants, considerations of identity transitions of mainstream consumers (i.e. non-migrant, locally born) so far have been predominantly restricted to local-global culture dichotomy. Since international marketing theory generally is concerned with wider consumer audiences than a particular ethnic segment, the mainstream/migrant population divide is increasingly regarded unhelpful (Jamal, 2003; Schroeder, 2009; Luedicke, 2011).
This thesis explains theoretically how acquiring a holistic, integrative perspective on the multiple types of cultures at play in complex cultural identity transformations occurring across consumer groups can provide insights into intricacies of culture-bound consumption trends and inform closer alignment of culture-based branding theory and practice with lived multiculture realities. The study conceptualises the multicultural marketplace as a multidimensional environment where consumers are exposed to a diverse range of global, local and foreign cultural meanings simultaneously and deploy these meanings for (re)construal of identity. Next, extending acculturation theory, it develops a theory of Consumer Multiculturation, taking account of eight diverse types of cultural identities that can evolve from being in a multicultural marketplace. The results support the proposition that consumers deploy local, global and/or foreign cultures differentially and in varying combinations to derive a sense of unicultural, bicultural or multicultural self, and that complexities of derived identity elicit equally complex and different responses to cultural meanings of brands.

The Brain is 85% water. Optimal brain function depends on water and lots of it. Water is what keeps the brain signals going. When the quality of water is compromised the signals are short circuited. Water supports DNA and is the largest single source of energy. The brain has no way to store water and dehydration comes if all the water lost in a day is not replaced and this deficiency is accumulated. Brain cells need 2x more energy than other cells in the body. Water supplies energy. Nerve transmission consumes one-half of all the brain's energy (nearly 10% of the whole body's energy). When hydrated, you have more energy. When the brain is functioning on a full reserve of water, it will function at full capacity and you'll think better and faster. Creativity is boosted.

Police release photo of SUV fleeing scene of Monterey Park homicide
Dec 17, 2015 • Last Updated December 17, 2015 • 1 minute read
Police are hoping to drum up leads into Sunday's homicide in the northeast community of Monterey Park by publicly releasing a photograph of a vehicle fleeing the scene of the fatal shooting.
Detectives believe the vehicle is possibly a 2000 to 2006 Ford Escape, or a similar type of SUV.
A dark SUV was seen fleeing the area after a deadly shooting Dec. 13 in an alley in the 100 block of Del Ray Road N.E. Detectives believe the vehicle is possibly a 2000 to 2006 Ford Escape or similar type SUV.
Hussein Merhi, 26, was shot to death in an alley behind the 100 block of Del Rey Road N.E. at about 2:30 p.m. Sunday. Police believe Merhi met up with at least one other person in the alley before he was shot.
Investigators have not identified a motive. They don't believe it's connected to any other homicides in Calgary.
Police say anyone with information about the homicide should call them or Crime Stoppers. | {

New cervid species found in middle miocene of Nei Mongol, China
by Institute of Vertebrae Paleontology and Paleoanthropology
Fig.1: Antlers of Euprox altus sp. nov. from the Middle Miocene fossil locality of Damiao, Siziwangqi, Nei Mongol. Credit: WANG Li-Hua
Wang Li-Hua, a graduate student paleontologist from Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, identified a new species of cervid, Euprox altus, from the Middle Miocene fossil locality of Damiao (N42°00'31.4'', E111°34'50''), Siziwangqi, Nei Mongol, as reported in the latest issue of Vertebrata PalAsiatic 2011 (4). Its tooth morphology and comparison with other species suggest that during the latest Middle Miocene the Damiao area was a warm and humid environment.
Euprox was named by Stehlin in 1928 when he studied fossil cervids from Steinheim in Germany. This new speccies is a small Euprox species, having two-tined antlers with prominent burrs. The fork of the antler starts high above the true burr. The antler surface is ornamented unevenly with longitudinal grooves. The cheek teeth are brachyodont. The fold on the postprotocrista of P4 is developed. The precingulum, entocingulum and postcingulum are present and linked together on the upper molars. The palaeomeryx fold is present but weak on the lower molars.
Tooth morphology and comparison with other species suggest that during the latest Middle Miocene the Damiao area was a warm and humid environment. The finding of Euprox altus indicats that during the latest Middle Miocene the monsoon, which produced a dry and strongly seasonal climate, had not yet formed or had not influenced the Damiao area at least.
"The American Museum of Natural History's Central Asiatic Expeditions of the early 20th century, led by R. C. Andrews, discovered rich fossil mammals in Nei Mongol, including the Tunggur fauna, representative fauna of the Chinese Middle Miocene Tunggurian age. They found some Euprox antler material. During the field seasons from 2006 to 2009, we found a total of 34 mammalian fossil localities near Damiao village", said Dr. ZHANG Zhao-Qun, co-author and the research designer, "Richest among these was a Middle Miocene locality, DM01, produced many antlers and teeth. These antlers differ from those of other known Euprox species, representing a new form of Euprox."

2. A number of National Monuments are still under review. After proposing a size reduction to Bears Ears National Monument in Utah last month, it was uncertain what Zinke's reaction would be to his recent visit to Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument in Maine. Though in a statement to the press Zinke indicated that a reduction to Katahdin was unlikely, noting that it is significantly smaller than Bears Ears as is. Both monuments were designated by President Obama, though Secretary Zinke has said federal control of lands hurts local economies by cutting the areas to new energy development, and President Trump has called such designations "a massive federal land grab". This stands in line with Zinke's encouragement of "public-private partnerships" in national park land. | {

Flowery Branch seeks grant for planning
Council ended up voting 3-2 on issue
Jeff Gill Follow @jeffgtimes
Updated: Sept. 29, 2011, 10:46 p.m.
Flowery Branch gave its nod Thursday night to taking a second swing at a federal grant that would go toward developing a South Hall comprehensive plan.
The city agreed to join neighboring cities of Braselton, Buford and Oakwood in seeking the $400,000 Sustainable Communities grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
But here's the catch: If the South Hall consortium gets the money, it would have to provide an $80,000 match, with $20,000 from each of the four cities.
"We would have the ability not to accept the grant even if it was awarded," City Manager Bill Andrew said. "This isn't a hard commitment for the city to make this evening, if that's one concern you have."
The council ended up voting 3-2 on the issue, with council members Chris Fetterman and Amanda Swafford opposed.
"Why isn't Hall County involved in this, because obviously we're going to have to be crossing county lines?" Fetterman asked Andrew.
"The county has sort of shown its hand on the way they view this in the sense they've asked (the state) for a three-year extension on (updating) its comprehensive land-use plan," Andrew said.
"We're actually trying to look at having a whole different layer, an action plan for seeing the community develop, and on the county's side, they're postponing their effort for three years."
Fetterman also raised a concern about the funding distribution based on city sizes and projects that may be recommended in the study.
Andrew said the initial study wouldn't favor one area over another but would look at the area "as a whole."
"It may show that there are projects that make more sense at this time in certain parts of the region," he said.
However, Andrew said, "we're kind of unique in that we're in the center, so we feel like we may benefit ... no matter how the chips fall."
Councilman Joe Anglin pushed for seeking the grant, noting that no firm commitment up front is needed.
The deadline for applying for the grant is Oct. 6.
If the cities get the money, they would spend the money on, among other things, hiring a firm to complete the study, putting together and maintaining a website, and holding community meetings.
Despite talk of how the study would benefit the region, Andrew wasn't particularly optimistic about getting the grant.
"The chance of us getting these funds is fairly slim," he said. "We were invited to make the application, and that's a good sign. But we are competing against some rather large entities."
The grant reapplication comes nearly one year after the four cities learned they had been passed over in their first try for the Sustainable Communities grant.
At the time, HUD had awarded $100 million of the planning grants nationwide, but none in Georgia. | {

Mundo Musique: Portugal. The Man, Bosnian Rainbows, Pyyramids, Juana Molina, and Yves Jean
Published on November 11, 2013 February 8, 2015 by Ben Yung
Before we get into the music, today we remember and celebrate the contributions of our veterans and current members of our armed forces. For those who have served or are currently serving our country here and abroad, thank you for your sacrifice, dedication, and courage.
With the opening of borders and the freer exchange of information, we've been able to learn and enjoy the many different traditions, sounds, and flavours of cultures from around the world. Today's Mundo Musique focuses on band's with a bit of an international flavour – either in name only or in their music.
PORTUGAL. THE MAN
Ok, Portugal. The Man is no longer an independent band, as they're with Atlantic Records, yet their sound remains similar from their independent years. They still make moving music with intelligent lyrics and continue to push the envelope with the issues and themes they address. The Portland, Oregon band – which currently comprises of John Gourley, Zach Carothers, Kyle O'Quin, Kane Ritchotte, and Zoe Manville – released their eighth studio LP (second with Atlantic) since 2006. Produced by the forever-busy Danger Mouse, Evil Friends, sees the band moving more to a groovy, dance-oriented, pop sound. On "Purple Yellow Red and Blue", the song is almost an anthem for the band itself, as it tries to balance its independence and anonymity with its growing popularity.
Like Portugal. The Band, Bosnian Rainbows is not from the country of its namesake. Instead, they're originally from El Paso, Texas, comprising of former members of The Mars Volta, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez on guitar and backing vocals and Deantoni Parks on drums and keyboards, Le Butcherettes vocalist Teri Gender Bender of Le Butcherettes (who are an excellent band), and Nicci Kasper on keyboards. Their self-titled, debut album was released in June 2013, and it is filled with moody, psychedelic, alternative music, combining the influences and sounds of Bosnian Rainbows' former bands. Midway through "Turtle Neck", for instance, Gender Bender calls out her inner Geddy Lee while the band does it's best Rush impersonation.
PYRRAMIDS
Another newish band that includes members of more well-known indie bands is L.A.-based Pyrramids. Drea Smith of He Say/She Say and Tim Nordwind from OK GO got together in 2011 and produced a six-song EP, Human Beings. This year, they released their first LP, Brightest Darkest Day, an eleven-song album of dark, pop-rock music. The song and video for "Invisible Scream" has similarities to R.E.M.'s "Drive" and Nirvana's "Teen Spirit" – from its brooding rhythm to an ode to young people's angst.
JUANNA MOLINA
It's been five years since Juana Molina has released an album, and she returns with a splendid record. Wed 21 is a loopy, acoustic record that can be best described as electronic/dance-folk. On "Eras", the Argentinian actress/musician combines her two artistic sides with a stylish, quirky, and haunting video while the song, itself, is filled with hooks and a catchy beat. Let's hope it won't be another five years before Ms. Molina releases another album.
YVES JEAN
From New York City comes Yves Jean, a hip hop artist who has been making music for nearly 14 years. The son of Haitian immigrants, Jean's music integrates sounds from his parents' homeland and the Caribbean, pop, rock, electronic, and classical music. He's released a number of EPs and a couple of LPs, including 2011's Hope for the Best…But Expect Nothing. His sound, style, and messages are comparable to audience favourite, Michael Franti.

Four-legged assistance helped in two crime-related cases within Colleton County recently. K-9 teams helped in thwarting two crimes relating to areas of illegal activity that has been plaguing the county for years.
On Sunday night, February 10, deputies on routine patrol in the Hyde Park and Longleaf neighborhoods, were dispatched to an Otis Road residence. A woman had found a gate and a shed door open at her residence, but, during a first look around the premises, could not find anything missing.
The office's Special Response Team, a team formed by newly-elected Sheriff Andy Strickland, later moved into the neighborhood. SRT Lieutenant Jason Chapman, while patrolling in an unmarked patrol vehicle with its lights off and moving very slowly to make as little noise as possible, spotted a man wearing a stocking cap and hooded sweatshirt about 50 feet away from him pushing an all-terrain vehicle in the yard of a residence on Otis Rd. "The Hyde Park and Longleaf neighborhoods have been hit hard by burglaries for a period of at least a year, and we patrol that area on a routine basis," Chapman said.
"At about the time I saw him, he saw me, and he took off. He scaled a fence, and I called for assistance. Within three minutes, a team of deputies had been dispatched to this neighborhood." The patrolling deputies were Sergeant Jackie Lawson, Corporal Brandon Allen, and Deputy Shannon Thomason. The three vehicles formed a tight perimeter around the crime scene. A K-9 handler and his dog then tracked the suspect until he was located and arrested. His vehicle, a Jeep Cherokee, was found in a wooded area near the residence, and a riding lawnmower was found near the vehicle.
Ashley Nathan Murdaugh, 28, of 781 Salcrow Road in Smoaks, was charged with grand larceny in connection with the theft of the ATV, a 2009 Yamaha Raptor 700 worth approximately $5,700. He was also charged with possession of stolen goods worth more than $2,000 in connection with the theft of the riding mower, which was later determined to have been taken from the residence that deputies first responded to.
Bond was revoked concerning Federal charges against Murdaugh for allegedly fleeing from the Coast Guard in a stolen boat. Before his arrest in Colleton County, Murdaugh had been out on bond awaiting the outcome of that charge.
The package was tested and the contents were found to be a THC-based substance, Chapman said. The package was then re-sealed and the Fed-ex controlled delivery continued to its destination, a residence on Rivers Street in Walterboro.
A warrant was executed at the Rivers Street residence, and another package that reportedly contained marijuana was also reportedly discovered by a K-9 unit. The two packages combined contained close to 30 pounds of marijuana worth close to $90,000. A suspect has been identified and an arrest is pending. | {

A Crown Of Wishes

Series: The Star-Touched Queen #2
CONTENT WARNING: gore, violence
An ancient mystery. An unlikely union. For one young princess in a state of peril, a dangerous wish could be the only answer …
She is the princess of Bharata — captured by her kingdom's enemies, a prisoner of war. Now that she faces a future of exile and scorn, Gauri has nothing left to lose. But should she trust Vikram, the notoriously cunning prince of a neighboring land? He promises her freedom in exchange for her battle prowess. Together they can team up and win the Tournament of Wishes, a competition held in a mythical city where the Lord of Wealth promises a wish to the victor. It seems like a foolproof plan — until Gauri and Vikram arrive at the tournament and find that danger takes on new shapes: poisonous courtesans, mischievous story birds, a feast of fears, and twisted fairy revels. New trials will test their devotion, strength, and wits at every turn. But what Guari and Vikram will soon discover is that there's nothing more dangerous than what they most desire.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this one, but I was hoping it would be as beautiful and enchanting as The Star-Touched Queen, which I absolutely loved. This one had some similarities, but it didn't quite hit the high bar that was set after reading the first book in the duology. I'd like to thank Whitney @ BooksWhitMe for buddy reading this with me, and giving me the motivation to read this series.
The writing was just as beautiful and evocative. I adore the way Roshani Chokshi writes, and twists words to create a beautiful picture that practically jumps off the page. It made it easy to visualize the scenery, and I now have new bathtub goals:
"In the bath chamber, stained-glass lanterns floated through the steam, while stone crocodiles opened their jaws and sprayed hot jets of water into the empty bath from the corners of the room."
I really liked the characters, even though Vikram wasn't exactly what I was expecting. My impression of him in The Star-Touched Queen was that he was also a warrior, but that wasn't exactly the case. He uses his brains and wit to get through life and difficult situations, and his charm as well. But in reality, he's a real cinnamon roll. Plus, he's a lot more open-minded and has a surprisingly modern view on gender roles, which truly made me love him all the more.
Along with the swap of gender roles that Vikram starts, Gauri is the warrior of the pair, but she's not just brawn, she's also smart. However, she's managed to get through life by stuffing her emotions down, rather than experiencing them. There's a lot of Maya's influence on Gauri that comes through in this story:
"Who was this girl who softened beneath a sky full of magic and hoped that the city she'd stepped inside traded on dreams?"
Aasha is a third character that appeared partway through the book, and at first, I couldn't figure out why she suddenly got a POV. However, I really liked her character as well. She was intriguing and I am always up for reading a character who thinks outside of the box. She ended up playing a big role in the story, and I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen for her.
The story was so interesting, but it kind of felt like the tournament was just being made up as it went along. During the entire middle part of the book, I was so confused and lost that I struggled to keep what was happening straight in my mind. The last part of the story really redeemed the book, and led to me giving this a higher rating than I was planning to.

An overreaction that never should have been allowed to happen
Liz Ellis
Netball columnist
August 20, 2020 — 3.24pm
The sendoff of Kristiana Manu'a is netball's biggest story so far this year, but it is a story that didn't have to happen.
In the one game she became the first player ever to be suspended from a Super Netball match (for a period of two minutes) and then the first player in Super Netball to be sent off the court entirely.
It was controversial. It was unexpected. It was also entirely unwarranted.
Kristiana Manu'a Credit:Getty Images
Let's take a quick look at both incidents. Firstly the suspension. It came after Manu'a ran into Lightning goal shooter Cara Koenen as she took a high ball under the post.
Granted the challenge by Manu'a was clumsy. It was marginally late, and, in fact, it saw Manu'a come off second-best afterwards when she careered into the goal post. But an offence that warranted her being suspended from play? No way. Having said that she was only suspended for a grand total of two minutes, which the Giants weathered until she returned to play.
Which brings me to the sendoff in the last quarter, which saw the Giants battle Lightning for nine minutes with just six players on the court. If the first incident was an overreaction, the second was just flat out bewildering. Manu'a went for a ball thrown to Lightning wing attack Laura Scherian who lost her feet and clipped Manu'a with the ball on the way down. That a player could be sent from the court for something so insipid is alarming.
In terms of applying the rules around suspending and then sending off Manu'a the umpires got the process absolutely right.
But as so often happens in netball a focus on getting the process right actually misses the big picture. Which is that these are professional athletes playing in the toughest and best netball league in the world. They can take a hit. They may not like it but they are conditioned for it.
There was nothing to be gained in sending Manu'a from the court. She wasn't out of control, she wasn't endangering anyone. She was simply contesting the ball. A little late. A little clumsy. A little like a hundred clashes that happen every Super Netball round.
So where does that leave us?
First to the immediate future. Super Netball CEO Chris Symington has to convene the match review panel. Every other professional sport has a process that automatically kicks in whenever a player is sent off, and Super Netball can't afford to be any different. Whether it is to ascertain whether further action is necessary, or to declare that it isn't, a process needs to take place to give the player, the teams and the umpires involved some closure.
The umpires also need to make a statement so that everyone is clear – teams, commentators and especially defenders – as to whether this is the new benchmark of what constitutes "rough play". Have they reviewed the game, and if so what are the lessons for everyone.
If this is the new benchmark, we can expect a rash of decisions like this in the coming weeks. In which case Super Netball must consider a change to the rules that allows players to be shuffled in the case of something like this happening to a player in a key position. This would still allow for there to be six players on the court, but also allow for a proper contest. As well as both teams handled the aftermath of the sendoff, the game skated dangerously close to farce without a player in goal defence for one team.
Which brings me to the issue of how Super Netball is perceived. Netball still struggles to throw off the view in some quarters that it is a schoolgirl sport. Or heaven forbid a glamour sport. Whilst we have made huge strides in the last decade, there is a long way to go. Add to this the fact that sometimes the interpretation of the rules during games seems, to the casual observer, to prevent a genuine contest for possession and you have a sport that may never break these shackles.
What this is not about is umpire bashing. God knows they have enough on their plate this season with the introduction of the super shot and all of the issues that have arisen with its application. The fact that we have not talked about them all season other than to mention how good a job they have been doing will be lost in this whole discussion.
What this should be about is the sport being clear about what it wants to be, and ensuring that the umpires, who have a huge say in how the game is played, are along for the ride.
The really unfortunate thing about the sendoff is that whilst it is controversial and sensational and has generated plenty of headlines, it has overshadowed some pretty interesting storylines in round five. Because we are talking about this we aren't talking about the Adelaide Thunderbirds being a genuine threat for the first time in Super Netball history. Or the fact that the Giants have pivoted to a moving circle of Kiera Austin and Joanne Harten, leaving Diamonds captain Caitlin Bassett warming the pine.
An overreaction to a couple of clashes of bodies that would have been let go in any other game has overshadowed the fact that the Giants were playing their best game of the season against a team in Lightning who have become the benchmark in this competition for outstanding netball.

This app will be used to measure lux if you're on an Android.
This app will be used to measure lux if you're on an iPhone.
Photoresistors, also known as Light-Dependent Resistors (LDR), are a class of resistors that change their resistance in relation to the amount of light falling on the sensor. LDRs are made from photoconductive materials, which conduct more electricity as the amount of light falling on them increases. Conductance is the inverse of resistance, so LDRs become less resistant as the amount of light increases, and more resistant as the amount of light decreases.
LDRs do not respond rapidly to changing light levels. Unlike photodiodes and phototransistors, which can detect a change in light in a matter of nanoseconds or microseconds, LDRs require a few milliseconds to detect a change. Thus, LDRs are typically used in situations where the overall amount of ambient light, and not response time, is important, such as camera light sensors, street lights, and even heart rate monitors. These applications work on a millisecond or greater order of magnitude, and thus do not require the rapid response seen in other light-sensing devices.
A typical configuration for measuring the value of a photoresistor is to place it in a voltage divider with another resistor and measure the voltage at the divider. Depending on if the LDR is connected to the voltage source or ground, the voltage at the divider will be either directly or inversely proportional to the amount of light striking the sensor. Having a capacitor between the voltage divider and ground will help keep the signal smooth but is not strictly necessary and increases the response time.
It is necessary to characterize the LDR's response to different illumination levels before it can be used for measurements. This requires that some measure of brightness is made, whether it is in subjective terms such as "dark", "bright", and "brightest", or in absolute values measured by some other device. Conveniently, most people have access to a light-measurement device in the form of their cell phones because ambient light sensors (ALS) are key for automatic screen brightness management as well as some other functions. In order to perform the characterization described in this article, it is necessary to download an app that can read out the brightness of a light in lux. Both Google Play and the Apple Store contain various apps that allow users to access the data output from the sensors the phone manufacturers chose to include. Two such apps are Sensors Multitool (Android) and Lirum Device Info Lite (iPhone).
The following steps will describe the process of characterizing a photoresistor and generating equations describing its response to different light levels. These equations will then be applied to Arduino code.
Note that it's best to use white light sources because using a specific color may not provide the true response of the photoresistor. If an RGB LED is available, follow this guide to vary its brightness. An RGB LED is an excellent way to get a wide variety of data points for this characterization, as it has 255 brightness levels with an Arduino (although it's not necessary to use all 255 steps). A bright bike light will provide good data towards the bright end of the scale.
Connect the OpenScope oscilloscope channel 1 (solid orange) cable to the voltage divider where the resistor and the LDR are in contact (J1 on the schematic). Ground the striped orange cable.
In WaveForms Live, under Trigger select the OFF button. Under OscCh 1, for Offset type in "2.5V". In the bottom left corner, press the MATH button, and select MEAN. A measurement with an orange mark should appear next to the MATH button. Leave all the other settings at their defaults.
1 / 2 • WaveForms Live settings necessary to perform the characterization.
In the sensor app, navigate to the light sensor data readout. It should provide the light intensity measurement in units of lux. The image below shows the Sensors Multitool screen for the light sensor data.
Locate the ALS on the phone. It is most likely near the top of the phone screen and can be located by moving a finger around on the phone's surface and finding the spot where the light measurement drastically drops.
Turn on the dimmest light source and place it directly on top of the phone's sensor. Find the location where the measurement is highest. The graph in Sensors Multitool is useful for this part, since it will show the brightness readout for the last 10 seconds. Once the peak is found, take the average of about 10-15 values from the sensor output. Enter the average into a "Lux" column in Excel.
Press Run in WaveForms Live, place the still-lit light source directly on the photoresistor, and use the graph to find the peak value. Save the Mean measurement in the bottom-left corner into a "Volts" column in Excel.
Repeat the previous two steps with as many different-intensity light sources as possible.
After gathering sufficient data points, plot the Lux and Volts columns in the y- and x-axis respectively. Use a scatter-plot graph with smooth lines.
Right click the y-axis and select Format Axis. Click the leftmost icon (called Axis Options), check the "Logarithmic scale" box, and leave the Base option at "10". The plot should now resemble the one below, although the exact shape will depend on the characteristics of the specific LDR being tested.
Select either the "Exponential" or "Polynomial" radio buttons in the FormatTrendline menu and check the "Display Equation on chart" and "Display R-squared" boxes. The menu options are shown in the image below. If a polynomial trendline is used, set the Order value to 6.
At this point, the data will need to be broken up into smaller subsets, each of the subsets with their own trendlines. The microcontroller that will be monitoring the LDR has no way of knowing what level of brightness a particular voltage reading signifies. It will be converting the values it collects into units of lux based on some equations that it is programmed with. If the equations do not strongly correlate to the data points gathered, then the microcontroller will perform an inaccurate conversion. The LDR's response to changing light levels is not the same across its resistance range, so several trendlines are better at describing its behavior rather than a single line.
The goal with each trendline is to make the R² values as close to 1 as possible. Depending on the particular data set used, either the exponential or the polynomial equations will generate the closest fits. The process of breaking up the data is subjective and may require a few tries to get the best result. Select the subsets based on what creates the best-fitting trendlines. For example, in the graph above, the curved portion on the left side would be a separate curve from the flat portion. The final characterization of the LDR used in this demonstration had 4 equations, each with an R² value greater than 0.994. The following steps will describe how to break up the data and generate equations for use with an Arduino (or any other programmable microcontroller).
Note the letter labels for the "Lux" and "Volts" columns.
Right-click on a data point on the chart and press the SelectData... button.
In the dialog that pops up, under "Legend Entries (Series)" select Series1 and press Edit.
Copy the "Series X values" line and press Cancel.
Click Add in the "Select Data Source" dialog. Name the series something to indicate its position in the data set and paste the copied line into "Series X values". Change the last number on the line to something smaller, based on whatever patterns emerged.
Copy the modified line into the "Series Y values" line and change the letters to match the lux column.
Add a trendline to the new data set and check what the R² value is. Remember to try both the exponential and polynomial trendlines. If the R² value is still too small, the data range will need to be reduced.
Repeat this process with the rest of the data, setting the start of the next data set at the end of the previous set. For this demonstration, the data was broken up as follows: data points 1-3, 4-19, 20-34, 35-37.
Uncheck the box next to Series1 to hide the original full-span data set.
Set all the trendlines to display their equations.
Click the leftmost icon (called the LabelOptions) and select "Number" from the Category drop-down menu. Set Decimalplaces to "8".
Repeat the last 2 steps for each trendline equation.
Select FormatTrendline... and under Forecast find the Forward and Backward values. Change these values on all of the trendlines until they overlap or come very close to overlapping. See the images below for an idea of how they should connect.
1 / 3 • The dotted lines are the trendlines.
Determine the voltage value (x-axis) at which each trendline ends, starting with the lowest-value one. This can be done by taking the forward (or backward) forecast value for that trendline and adding (or subtracting if taking the backward forecast) it to the voltage of the closest data point in that trendline. For example, in the first image above the voltage of the closest data point for the yellow trendline is 0.35V, and the forward forecast is 0.2, so the endpoint for the trendline is 0.55V. Alternatively, the closest data point for the blue trendline is 0.844V, the backwards forecast is 0.31, so the endpoint for the trendline would be 0.53V. The difference is negligible, so pick whichever direction seems closer to the curve of the data. The trendline intersection points will become the voltage thresholds at which the code will switch from one equation to another.
Copy the equations into the Arduino code below: replace the bracketed arguments after each "lux =" with the equations (be sure to remove the brackets). If more than 4 equations are used, add more else if() commands.
Replace all instances of "x" in the equations with "voltage".
Replace any polynomial terms in the equations with pow(voltage, [VALUE OF POLYNOMIAL]) and the exponential terms with exp([VALUE IN EXPONENTIAL TERM] * voltage). For example, 3x³ would become 3*pow(voltage, 3), and e^(2.5x) would become exp(2.5 * voltage).
Replace every instance of "[THRESHOLD]" in the code with the voltage threshold correlating to the relevant trendline equation.
The function readBrightness() can now be used to measure the amount of light falling on an LDR and return the value in the form of a float. It can be copied into any Arduino sketch, provided that the "[ANALOG IN PIN]" portion in the analogRead() command is replaced with the correct pin number. Also, be sure that none of the variable names used in this function are duplicated as global variables.
Below is the data that was collected for this demonstration, the graph that was generated from the data after subset trendlines were applied, and the readBrightness() function with the LDR-specific equations and thresholds applied.
The characterization can be taken one step further to make it more universal. The voltage values generated with the process given above are depend on the 220Ω resistor in the divider. By applying the voltage divider formula and solving for the upper resistor, the resistance of the LDR can be found for each lux value. The equation for calculating an unknown resistance, R1, in a voltage divider will be derived below, but trendline application and coding will be left to the reader.
Refer to the image below for a schematic of a voltage divider.
Substitute 5V for Vin and 220Ω for R2 and enter this equation into Excel. Vout will be the values in the "Volts" column. R1 is the LDR's resistance. The rest of the process is the similar to the one described in this article, but instead of correlating the voltage measurement with lux, the equations this process will yield will correlate the LDR's resistance with lux. | {

Makeup trends are eternally changing but generally every autumn/winter we know what's coming. I'm not a big follower of trends be it fashion or beauty, but I think it's a good idea to slightly change your warpaint with the seasons! Below are just a few ideas to update your makeup as winter draws in!
I think we can all agree that when we hit the colder months it's time to step away from the bronzer as much as we hate to admit it. It's time for more stone colour based contouring shades which can softly define your face without adding too much of a summer glow. I've just bought MAC's blush in 'Harmony' which is absolutely perfect.
In winter I'm all about lashings of my favourite volumizing mascara to make up for my pale complexion. You can opt for feathery lashes with the help of some falsies or like me you can go with for the clumpy-er look which adds an edge.
Oranges and pinks step aside, it's all about berry shades and deep reds now. There are hundreds of posts on the go to shades but my favourite is Lina Mar's (here) which is set out so beautifully. You can also read my review here on the Kate Moss lipstick which as you will all know is one of the most popular shades for this time of year. | {

New underwater camera technology developed by Australian researchers is shining a light on previously unseen species in the Southern Ocean to help improve marine conservation.
For the first time, a deep-sea swimming sea cucumber, Enypniastes eximia, also known as a "headless chicken monster", has been filmed in Southern Ocean waters off East Antarctica.
The unusual creature, which has only ever been filmed before in the Gulf of Mexico, was discovered using an underwater camera system developed for commercial long-line fishing by the Australian Antarctic Division.
Australian Antarctic Division Program Leader Dr Dirk Welsford, said the cameras are capturing important data which is being fed into the international body managing the Southern Ocean, the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR).
"The housing that protects the camera and electronics is designed to attach to toothfish longlines in the Southern Ocean, so it needs to be extremely durable," Dr Welsford said.
Dr Welsford said other CCAMLR nations, such as Chile, France, and the United Kingdom are now also using the super-strengthened devices, which are fabricated at the AAD's headquarters in Tasmania.
"It's a really simple and practical solution which is directly contributing to improving sustainable fishing practices," Dr Welsford said.
The data collected from the cameras are being presented at the annual CCAMLR meeting starting in Hobart tomorrow.
Australia's CCAMLR Commissioner, Ms Gillian Slocum, said Australia will continue to lead on the most pressing issues facing the Southern Ocean, including biodiversity conservation, climate change and science-based fisheries management.
"Australia will again be seeking support for the creation of a new East Antarctic Marine Protected Area," Ms Slocum said.
These proposals are among a number of measures Australia will put forward during the 10-day meeting, including proposals to improve the way CCAMLR responds to the impacts of climate change.
"The Southern Ocean is home to an incredible abundance and variety of marine life, including commercially sought-after species, the harvesting of which must be carefully managed for future generations," Ms Slocum said.

Life is full of wonder, whether you live in a rural place or in a big city. However, that wonder is mostly missed by those that are caught by the limitation of opportunities or simply become a victim of circumstances. Whatever it is, it's proven that nothing should stop a free spirit from flying high as soon as the wings of love have been spread – towards freedom.
Alex Tibaldi's "Spiral Farm" revolves around a 17 year-old Anahita, her life in a farm, her transition to adulthood, understanding how she can become a part of society she had no idea about, her dreams that may come true if she simply follows them, and the true feeling of being free when words such as "I want" no longer causes pain after saying it. So the farm life has its own beauty, but the beauty of creating a life of her own turns out to be an excellent experience for Anahita which she surely is willing to learn from.
Set in Southern California's Spiral Farm, we meet Anahita, who is seemingly a part of this small community that does not seem to want to change its pace. Anahita, on the other hand, likes listening to rap music, dances, and hides a flyer that gives her the name and place of a dance audition which the girl so badly wants to attend. That maybe would never happen if not for the appearance of Theo Maurizio (her mom's old love interest), who insists that she must attend the audition by all means. And when she follows his suggestion, she begins questioning her existence, the life she lives, and begins building in her mind a world larger than the one she lives in right now.
In the end, written and directed by Alex Tibaldi, "Spiral Farm" tries not to become a conventional coming of age drama that in most cases has the same ending. He, instead, takes a different approach, a non-hollywood type, in which he allows the camera to simply follow its aim, pain, Anahita's personality, and why she must change herself by seeing the life that shines outside of the uneventful farm. Piper De Palma as Anahita delivers a solid performance, not beautifying the character from outside, but giving light from the inside, which helps Anahita to grow as an individual. | {

must be combined with manure to make good compost.
Yes happy composters, here is an action shot of me holding what is referred to as a "cow patty"!
As I mentioned in Part 1 of this fall-time sheet composting, aka layer composting tutorial, some people swear that you've got to add in manure of some sort (not human, cat or dog manure though!) in order to achieve a high quality composted humus. Many people, myself included, don't believe that, and have practiced composting of one method or another over the years with great success. Our happy, lush flower and vegetable gardens prove it. But, if you can get your hands on (so to speak! :)) some manure, then go for it!
So, that's a decision I made last fall – and that was to incorporate cow manure into my sheet compost garden bed this time. I did try first to get horse manure, but in my particular situation, it proved to be more difficult than I had hoped – it was going to be way more labor intensive for me to acquire than I had thought. Local horse stables said I could have all I wanted, but they wouldn't help me load it into my truck.
My only option then was that I'd have to shovel it up into my truck bed – I didn't want to kill myself effort-wise – I'm not as strong as I was in my 20's or 30's … sigh. I just couldn't fathom myself having the energy to shovel the amount I needed up into the back of a pick-up truck, and then out of the truck bed and into my garden. I didn't want to totally wear myself out! You see, I didn't have anyone else available who could help me, so this was totally a one-woman project.
The other option would be a little pricey, as my only other alternative was to have the horse manure delivered to my home. But that idea wasn't in keeping with my belief of trying to do this project frugally. So, the next best bet was … cow manure!
I was able to get lots of FREE cow manure. As a matter of fact I could have gotten all I would ever want and even more than that … I could have supplied the entire neighborhood! I made a phone call to my county's Agricultural Extension office and was directed to a source that, it turned out, would gladly load all the manure I wanted into the back of my truck for free. Hey! You bet I jumped on the opportunity! Where was this manure coming from, you ask? Where they have livestock auctions.
Anyway … here's another one of my fabulous action shots of my truck getting loaded up with manure. The young man who helped me was so nice and would have scooped up all the manure I wanted with his bobcat loader.
But, I still had to get some "green" stuff to round out the proper carbon to nitrogen ratio, and since I didn't have a whole lot of veggie scraps on hand as I mentioned in my last post (I needed a lot of green and brown matter to layer a bed this large) I opted to make use of used coffee grounds as a sensible second-best choice in my "get some greens" situation.
I have 2 3×3 square plastic composters that I just started using. For years, I have kept redworms in a plastic storage bin and all I ever put in for dirt is coffee and tea grounds. We go through alot. Actually, you would not believe how fast it builds up. I'd give them shredded newspaper and junk mail, and banana peels when I had them. In return, they gave me rich dirt and tea.
Hey Julie – so, you're an avid worm composter. 🙂 That's great that you're into this type of composting, because for those who might be reading our comments and live in apartments, as example, but think they can't compost … well having worm bins is something that can be done in a very small space and if done correctly, there's no smell. I'm sure you are very accomplished in composting this way and have figured it out what your worms do and don't like to eat to give you that great dirt and worm tea!!
AAMOF, I have a nice chapter all about worm composting and how to be successful with it from the get-go in my 300+ page eBook The Shoestring Gardener. There are tons of eco-friendly ideas, tips, and advice for all gardeners.
My question answered in PART 2! Does manure need to be dry and powdery, like yours? what if it is not quite that old to be dry and powdery? Will it "ccok" faster vs slower and still be ready for Spriing planting?
The best thing about dry is that it doesn't stick to your shovel as much.
Drier manure is much less heavy than wet, which was a big consideration for me (I had to tackle this manure-collecting and shoveling project all by myself), so this made the transporting and shoveling a whole lot easier.
But maybe MOST importantly – it really didn't stink like the wet cow manure did!!
My only "mistake" was that I didn't realize that when the guy was scooping it up from the floor of the stalls, he was getting down to some heavily trodded-upon manure. This resulted in a large number of big flatten, hard-as-rock chunks about the size of large saucers in with the rest of my load. Most of those chunks had not decomposed into soft friable compost when spring rolled around. So … I had the small hassle of picking them out of my garden bed. They were still hard as rocks – most I couldn't even break apart by hand! Maybe if I'd had a strong rototiller, they'd have broken up and gotten incorporated into the soil.
So … I will advise everyone to not use super-hard chunks of any type of manure!
You'll be fine with wet or dry. Depending where people can get manure, dry manure has probably been out in the elements while it aged, so maybe a little bit of the original nutrients have leached out in the rain. But it is still very beneficial to a compost pile and the finished compost should turn out to be awesome.
A tip to anyone using a drier manure: It might be too dry to decompose easily in a pile, so be sure to sprinkle plenty of water onto your layered pile! That's what I did and like I said, I had a wonderful garden bed to plant in when springtime rolled around.
I have composted using green grass clippings from our yard and nothing else. This has turned into a very rich dirt. My husband is not bagging this year, so I pull crabgrass and add it to my dead leaves for some green. This is also working great. I have also used this(after it dries out) for winter mulch to protect my plants thru the winter. It works great and adds a layer of good soil by spring.
What are you mixing your green grass clippings with in order to get "compost"?? Are you just working it into your garden soil? Or letting it sit as mulch on your soil and then working in after it has decomposed? To make compost we need carbon and nitrogen rich materials. They work hand-in-hand.
I understand and do write about using grass clippings as mulch or as an addition of greens to a compost pile in my Shoestring Gardener eBook.
And yes, it is a great mulch for sure.

CAT5e or CAT6
Category: Structured Cabling
Cat5e or Cat6?
Cat5e or cat6, what will be best for you… Let us explain the difference's and you can see what suits your needs best.
In this blog we will explain this difference between cables and choosing the right install will have a massive impact to your networks. Yes, they both connect to the internet, but you may need to access/ transfer large files, or you may only need to send emails.
Well, here is everything you need to know about Cat5e and Cat6 cables.
What is Cat5/Cat5e cable?
Firstly, you have all heard of an ethernet lead right?… Probably got a few lying around the house/ office to connect your devices into the router.
Well, it once was Cat5, but as we have evolved the cable manufacturing standards up to Cat5e. The 'e' means enhanced, Cat5 cable has a bandwidth of up to 100 MHz, support 10 or 100 Mbps speed.
Then they enhanced it, which means it now supports faster data transmissions. It achieves this by reducing the interference between cables.
By doing this they are now able to provide faster transfer rates, from 1000 Mbps and up to 1Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet).
Comparison Chart: Cat5 vs Cat5e
Cable Cable Type Frequency (Bandwidth) Max Speed (100mts) Characteristic Impedance Main Difference
Cat5 UTP 100 MHz 10/100 Mbps 100 ohms More crosstalk
Cat5e UTP 100 MHz 1000 Mbps / 1 Gbps 100 ohms No Crosstalk. (or Less)
What we really want to know is, Why choose Cat6?
The standards for Cat6 are more stringent for crosstalk and system noise then Cat5 & Cat5e cable. Performances up to 250mghz compared to 100mghz Cat5 & Cat5e.
Cat6 cable can meet the requirement for 10Gb, providing its maximum length is no more than 55 meters (180ft).
Anything over 55 meters you would be looking at Cat6a. This cable is characterized to 500 MHz and has improved alien crosstalk characteristics, allowing 10Gb to be run for 100 meters (330 ft) maximum distance as previous Ethernet variants.
Cat6 cable is also equipped with a spline, this is to separate the twisted pairs to eliminate the crosstalk.
What Ethernet cable is best for you?
Well that all depends on your day-to-day activities. Do you require large files from servers or sending/uploading big files? (Even streaming can be quite stressful on your network), then Cat6 will be ideal for you.
If your just sending emails and browsing internet pages, then you would benefit from Cat5e which would be more than efficient.
We also need to think about cost's…
Cat5e is obviously cheaper then Cat6 but choosing 'cheap' is not always best as discussed before it is all down to what you need when it comes to performance. Another thing to keep in mind is cable containment around the office.
Cat5e is a lot smaller in diameter then Cat6, this means smaller containment more space around the office. Cat6 on the other hand is a lot thicker and the bend radius compared to cat5e would cause a lot more transmission failures.

FIBRE OPTICAL & EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT…
The Difference Between Types of Fibre Optical Cables
Fibre optical cables, multi-mode, single-mode are one of the most reliable and versatile options on the market, sending information through pulses of light. If you're in the market for fibre optical cables, you've probably looked at the options of both single mode and multi-mode fibre cables. The difference between the two can be confusing to the naked eye, but they fundamentally impact the performance level of each cable. We're taking an in-depth look at the difference between single mode and multi-mode in terms of construction, cost, and distance.
How Do Fibre Optical Cables Work?
Fibre optical cables work by sending light through the cable with photon particles bouncing down the cable due to the internal reflection. This light beam travels down through the core of the cable, which sits at the middle of the cable's glass structure. Around the core, there is a cladding layer of glass that keeps the light refraction inside the core.
The mode is the path that the light follows through the fibre, which is why you have single mode and multi-mode fibre cable options. The single mode has the simplest structure with the smallest core, leading the signal to travel directly through the core. With a multi-mode fibres optical cable, the core is around ten times the size, and the light travels through multiple paths.
We're taking a look at the differences between single and multi-mode fibre optical cables, which primarily sits in the bandwidth, colour sheath, cost, core diameter, distance, light source, and wavelength. We are looking at both single and multi-mode options separately, so you can decide which one is best suited for your project.
All Fibre Optical cables are normally made to specifications from the manufacturer for more information please see link.
What Is Structured Cabling?
Structured cabling is a telecommunication cabling infrastructure with different smaller elements, giving it the 'structured' name. The purpose of structured cabling is to give you a dependable and predictable performance rate with flexibility for everyday use that allows for maximising the system availability. Structured cabling can help to future proof the usability of your cabling system.
This style of cabling brings organisation to your infrastructure. The patch panels and trunks create a structure within the system that allows hardware ports to be connected to the patch panel, which is connected to another through a trunk (using multi-fibre optic cables) in the main distribution area. The MDA is essential to the structured cabling as it allows for the adds, changes, and moves to occur with the shorter length patch cords.
Structured cabling with multi-mode fibre optic cables allows you to reduce the potential downtime caused by human error and gives you a cleaner look than a point-to-point cabling method. It's also a time-saving option as it's quicker to trace cables and ports to make changes.
What is Computer Cabling?
For your home or a small office, the computer cabling you're most likely to be using revolves around single mode fibre optical cables. These are the simplest form of fibre optic cabling as there is a reduced light reflection which allows the signal and transmission to travel quickly through the wires. The data transmission can carry over a larger distance, making it ideal for TVs, internet, and telephone signals.
For computer networks set up in a larger office or data centre, multi-mode fibre optical cables are used as they carry your data transmission across a shorter distance due to higher light refraction.
What are Single Mode Fibre Optical Cables?
A single mode fibre optical cable uses one type of light mode, while multi-mode cables propagate multiple modes. Due to their attenuation, these single-mode OS2 cables are typically used for long-distance single transmission. These cables are usually used in carrier networks, MANs and PONs.
Diameter's of single and multi- modes
The core diameter for a single mode fibre is significantly smaller than a multi-mode option. For an OS2 single mode, the diameter is 9um – whereas an OM3 or OM4 multi-mode has a diameter of 50um. With a single mode fibre optic cable, laser or laser diodes product the light that is injected into the cable, typically producing a wavelength of 1310nm and 1500nm.
As the diameter in a single mode fibre is smaller, the light which passes through the cable is not reflected in the same way as multi-mode cables, which leaves the attenuation at a minimum. The attenuation for a single mode fibre at 1310nm is 0.36dB/km, compared to OM3 multi-mode fibres having an attenuation of 3.0dB/km at 850nm. As the attenuation is reduced due to the limited internal light ray reflection, single mode fibre optic cables give you a higher speed of data transfer over a larger distance.
As single mode cables have one light mode, their bandwidth is unlimited as a result. One of the most noticeable differences between the two is their colour sheath. For a single mode fibre cable, they have a yellow outer sheath.
For most people, the difference they care most about is the cost involved in the system and installation. While single mode fibre cables have their benefits, they're also the most expensive. A typical single mode fibre solution can cost up to five times the price of a multi-mode fibre.
As these cables work on a longer distance, the transceivers require lasers at a longer wavelength with a smaller spot-size and narrower spectral width to work. The increased transceiver and interconnect costs come from the need for higher-precision alignment and tighter connection tolerance.
Although they have a higher system cost, single mode fibre optics have a lower upgrade installation cost. When it comes to upgrading your system, the labour costs for replacing multi-mode OM3 and OM4 cables is higher than the single-mode OS2.
What are Multi Mode Fibre Optical Cables?
Multi-mode fibre optic cables have a larger core with significantly increased reflection, which leads to higher attenuation and dispersion rates, giving a higher bandwidth delivery for shorter distances. Multi-mode cables are typically used for communicating data across a small, localised area where a large volume of data needs to be sent. The number of core cables in the multi-mode determines the data load it can carry. As the multi-mode cables travel a shorter distance, you'll usually find them in data centres, enterprises, and LANs.
OM3 and OM4 multi-mode fibre cables have a core diameter of 50um, compared to the 9um of an OS2 single mode. The larger diameter size enables the multi-mode fibres to have simpler connections, and they possess a higher 'light gathering' ability.
Multi-mode cables have a limited bandwidth due to their light mode – for an OM5 multi-mode fibre, this is currently 28000MHz*km. As multi-mode fibre optic cables have a larger core size, some of their more affordable light sources – such as LEDs – work with an 850nm wavelength.
Multi-mode fibres travel a shorter distance due to their larger core size and model dispersion, allowing them to support multiple light modes. While it travels a shorter distance, these cables can carry a larger data load than OS2 single mode cables – which carry a lighter load over a longer distance.
Lets be mindful of the difference in costing
In terms of visual differences, a multi-mode fibre optical cable has an outer sheath coating in either blue or orange. The cost difference between the two is the next noticeable difference. Multi-mode optical transceivers cost significantly less than their single-mode counterparts by two or three times the price. The speed will largely determine the cost of the multi-mode optical transceiver.
The system cost of operating multi-mode fibre optics is reduced as they're easier to manufacture with a more versatile design that works for various devices, with them being produced at a lower cost than OS2 single mode alternatives. The upgrade cost to 100G for standard-based premise applications is also lower for multi-mode fibre optics.
What Are the Main Differences Between Single and Multi-Mode?
The OM3 and OM4 multi-mode cables can carry a higher data rate than the single-mode OS2 cable, even though the latter can travel a larger distance. The distance is usually the deciding factor between whether you go with single or multi-mode cables. If you only need a few hundred meters of distance, a multi-mode cable would work best. If you need a significantly higher distance, a single mode cable will be more suitable. You'll also want to consider the cost of future upgrades when you're coming up with your budget – as the cost of a single fibre optic upgrade is lower.
Which One Is Best for My Project?
Both single and multi-mode fibre optic cables have their benefits, and the differences are what makes them work better for certain projects over others. You'll want to consider your budget, the bandwidth speed you need, and the distance you want the fibre optic cables to cover. You can't mix single mode and multi-mode fibres together due to their different core sizes and light modes. Mixing the two would result in an optical loss and reduced efficiency.
Similarly, you can't use a multi-mode transceiver for a single mode cable as an optical loss will occur. You could use a single mode transfer for certain multi-mode fibre cables if you need to. You want to consider all the factors we've mentioned in this article to find the fibre optic cables that will work for your network needs.

Home/News/Apple Watch to transfer data wirelessly?
Apple will be holding a series of summer workshops
Apple Watch to transfer data wirelessly?
30th June 2015 News
A new Apple patent has been published online revealing that Apple Watch users may be able to exchange data by handshaking,
The patent doesn't specifically mention the Apple Watch but the filing refers to a device that can be 'worn' by users.
Published in the filing, it may be possible for two devices to share data when both users engage in a similar gesture, for example fist pumping or handshaking.
The patent said: "Information items can be exchanged between user devices worn or carried by two different users in response to the devices detecting a "greeting event" in which the devices are in proximity and the users of the devices concurrently execute a greeting gesture."
In addition, contextual information may also be available with the device, including the user's location and the user's input.
This news comes after rumours revealed that the Apple Watch 2 may feature a video camera.
In other news, the tech giant has also started to roll out its series or summer camps, where kids can learn how to create movies and interactive books.
Apple is inviting kids aged from eight to 12-years-old to visit a retail store during its three-day event, where they will get the chance to use software such as GarageBand and iMovie.
Apple's summer workshops will be hosted between 11am and 12:30pm local time, on various dates from July 20th to August 7th in the UK, US, China, Japan, Spain and more.

You have love in your heart and want to help children or adults through tough times; but you are wondering what it's like to be a foster care provider on a daily basis. How will it impact your schedule? Your family?
Foster care providers that care for young children and teens providing a nurturing, stable environment in which a child can progress mentally, physically, emotionally, and socially. They provide children with guidance, discipline, and safety, as well as addressing a child's special needs.
Maintaining a record for children of their time in care, including developmental milestones, photographs, report cards, etc.
The rewards of being a foster parent for children include doing the little things every day that show you care - take the children to school, take them to an appointment, fix dinner, read a bedtime story, and teach life skills along the way. Basically you provide daily care and guidance with acceptance and patience. There will be challenges along the way, but knowing you are making a profound impact on a person's life is immensely rewarding.
Children who are in transition from one home to another setting depend on many people who are responsible for them, including their parents who are responsible for visiting their children and correcting conditions that led to their removal; police officers and court officials who may removed children from their homes and place them in foster care; county case managers who provide services to the children in foster care and their families; and foster parents and other providers who are responsible for protecting, nurturing and caring for the children placed with them.
The Licensing Social Worker helps you through the licensing process and is available for ongoing support and consultation.
The Child Protection or Children's Mental Health Social Workers work with the child and the biological family and create the plan for the child to either be reunified with the parents or for another permanency option.
The Guardian Ad Litem represents what is in the best interest of the child back to the court.
Reimbursement for the expenses involved with caring for children is helpful. Foster care providers receive a per diem per child in their care and may also receive additional payment to care for a child's special needs.
There are guidelines for determining the amount of financial support to foster care providers. Funds available to foster care providers vary on a case-by-case basis, depending on the needs of the child and the efforts of the foster parent to meet those needs.

Early 90s Rose Morris Vox Fawn Vinyl - Manufactured over fifteen years ago in the UK, this is the actual fawn vinyl Rose Morris installed on Vox amplifiers built between 1990 and 1993. It was also used on the limited edition AC-30 and AC-15 amps produced by Korg/Vox in 1996 and 1997. North Coast Music imported 500 meters of this vinyl from the original British textile manufacturer before they ceased production.
This vinyl is not the same fawn fabric JMI Vox installed on their earliest production. This vinyl is similar (but not identical) to the vinyl found on the Vox AC15HW1 and AC30HW2 amplifier introduced in 2010.
Others fold their vinyl and place it into a box or envelope, causing the vinyl to have permanent creases. North Coast Music sends amp vinyl rolled to avoid creases.
You will receive one strip for the cabinet body that will measure 16" x 96," one piece for the front panel that will measure 7" x 28", and two pieces for the backs that will measure 11.5" x 30.5." The maximum cabinet size for this kit is 30" wide, 22" tall, 12" deep. Grill cloth and pipings are not included, but also available from North Coast Music. This is a "do it yourself" kit, no instructions on adhesives or process are included or offered. ** NOTE ** This item is non-returnable, non-refundable and non-exchangable.

"Haiti Earthquake"
Photo: United Nations Development Programme.
Tent City Geography
Marita Sturken | New York University
The January 2010 Haiti earthquake led to the production of an enormous number of images of aftermath. Earthquakes as events are not easily realized by cameras, given that they are unexpected and unpredictable. A video or two emerged from surveillance cameras in Haiti that captured the violent shaking and the images of buildings collapsing, but for the most part the event was off camera, so to speak. Most of the visibileness of the Haitian earthquake was thus the depiction of aftermath, images of the rescue and recovery operation, of the dead lying in the rubble and the streets, the traumatized survivors, the buildings in ruins. As such, the earthquake was imaged as Haiti in a state of collapse in ways that seemed to affirm Haiti's status as a collapsed State throughout history. The images of the earthquake's aftermath largely reiterated preexisting notions about Haiti as a dysfunctional state, as a site of ongoing and relentless poverty, as chaos. And those images, like all disaster aftermath images, were also deployed to affirm concepts of human resilience, compassion, and generosity—spanning the full range from images of survivors, to aid workers, to Hollywood celebrities working telethons to raise money. These images pull toward iconic or metaphoric status in compelling ways—it is often difficult to see them as specific images of a particular moment in a disaster, rather than as icons of a larger story. When images are read down a semiotic chain toward their potential to signal the larger ideological and political frameworks that guide their connotative meaning, they can also participate in the reaffirmation of stereotypes that do not allow for nuance and complexity; this is especially so of images that acquire iconic status.
I would like to look at one image, posted by the United Nations Development Programme on the photo-sharing site Flickr, that seems to me to embody many of these contradictions.
Image: United nations Development Programme
The caption reads: Haitians set up impromptu tent cities through the capital after an earthquake measuring 7 plus on the Richter scale rocked Port au Prince, Haiti just before 5 pm yesterday, January 12, 2010.
What we notice first is the color: the bright patchwork of cloth that is providing temporary shelter in the middle of a square, the vibrant and kinetic quality of umbrellas and colored sheets stretched on frames to ward off the sun and rain. The movement and liveliness conveyed by the cloth creates a sense of aliveness, organization, and busyness. A view of the same scene from the ground would likely have conveyed chaos, struggle, and grief, but the view from above highlights form, shape, color, and a kind of mapping. It is a visually compelling image, one that has a certain level of aesthetic organization. The aesthetics of images of disaster has a long history of ambiguous ethical status. This image appears to have been reused by more than one weblogger to create a poster for Haiti relief efforts, one with the words "SOS Haiti" written across it.
This image is, importantly, an aerial image, a view from above that both provides a distance for the viewer and creates a typographical geography. We cannot see the people in the image with any precision. They are not individuals, rather we see how they congregate, where they are gathered, and the color of their clothing. The aerial view (taken perhaps from a plane or helicopter) renders visible several typographies—the grey forms of damaged roofs and the angled shapes of the hung cloth—yet it also masks specifics in its "god's eye" view from above.
There are many other photographs of aerial views of the devastation in Port au Prince, and images of ruined slums have proliferated. Yet the image I have focused on takes those aerial images further in its composition. What makes it compelling is precisely the bricolage quality of the tent city: the sense of people making do, creating shelter, of life emerging from death. The colorful cloth is in vivid contrast to the framing view of the grey metallic roofs, the ruined buildings, and piles of debris that surround the tent city. The corrugated roofs are themselves, of course, emblematic of bricolage architecture in poor cities, the cement block homes with cheap roof materials that are the most vulnerable to natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. The tents emerge like an island of activity amid the grey, crumbling ruins, evoking something new, something rising out of death.
I began by saying the image was posted by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) on Flickr, and that, in and of itself, is key to ways in which we might want to frame this image. Its circulation on a photo-sharing social network website by an aid organization speaks volumes about the complexity of the contemporary circulation of disaster images. It is credited to Logan Abbasi, a United Nations photographer who received attention for helping to save a man who had been buried in the rubble for a week (http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/286074). Aid organizations deploy images of disaster and disaster relief in increasingly complex ways and through increasingly diverse networks. In the photo-sharing context of a website such as Flickr, such images are arranged in sets and slide shows, and allow aid organizations to intermix aesthetically and visually powerful images such as this one with images of aid workers attending to the injured and walking through and assessing areas of devastation. Flickr allows us to see this image in a UNDP mosaic that includes images of relief helicopters, injured survivors in the hospital, aid workers surveying the damage, and former President Bill Clinton speaking at the United Nations about relief for Haiti, and allows us to link it to a map of Port au Prince. There are emotional disconnects, certainly, in the linking of these images; yet that aggregation is a key factor in the way many of us consume images today, moving from one to the next, navigating connections and linkages. The status of the individual image on Flickr and other photo-sharing websites is thus constantly mediated by its linkage and combination with other images. Both in their aggregation and in their status as individual images, the images of aid organizations are deployed into conventionalized narratives of redemption that legitimate the role of relief operations. These images, particularly when circulated in grids, slide shows, and image sets, absorb larger narratives of devastation and failed statehood into the story of rescue and resilience—affirmations of good work that are intended to generate donations.
I noted earlier that many images often pull us toward larger connotations down a semiotic chain, and this image is compelling precisely because of the way that it ultimately signifies hope—the hope embodied by the brightly colored cloth of the temporary shelter of the tent city. Of course, tent cities are sites of homelessness, of marginal living conditions, of no infrastructure, of life on the edge, of little hope. Tens of thousands of people reside in enormous tent cities in Haiti now where they are particularly vulnerable to the coming rains (one of them, with a population of 10,000, was named Camp Obama in an attempt to draw U.S. attention). Far from Haiti, we can be drawn to the hopefulness of this image because of the level of comfort it can provide through a narrative of life and hope emerging from devastation. Inevitably, its hopefulness and aesthetic pleasure operates to erase the deeper story of Haiti's fragile state of being, before and in the aftermath of the earthquake.

Vision Knight Capital Leads $28M Series C Round In XiaoduoAI
Chinese customer service robot developer XiaoduoAI has recently completed two rounds of financings. The latest series C round was completed during this COVID-19 epidemic, led by Vision Knight Capital, and the existing investors Vertex Ventures and Oriza Holdings also participated in the round. The series B+ round was led by Silicon Harbour. The sum of two rounds of financing exceeds RMB200 million (US$28.4 million).
Proceeds of the new round is mainly used for product development, the recruitment of management and marketing talents.
Founded in 2013, XiaoduoAI's main business is to provide customers with AI customer service robots based on natural language processing. With the e-commerce industry as the core, the company has expanded thousands of customers in many industries including finance and cosmetic medicine. So far, XiaoduoAI has accumulated tens of thousands of users. Well-known customers include Meituan-Dianping, Midea, Haidilao, Hellobike and so on.
At the outbreak of the epidemic, XiaoduoAI helped West China Hospital develop a plan to improve the protection mechanism of medical staffs. Through natural language understanding, the data related to the epidemic outbreak were integrated to obtain the proportion, cause, geographical distribution and infection origin of medical staffs infected with COVID-19.
After the latest round of financing, David Wei, chairman and founding partner of Vision Knight Capital, joined XiaoduoAI as a director. He said: " We see enormous potential in AI-powered niche markets. There are millions of customer service practitioners in various industries across China. Most of the companies in the intelligent customer service track maintain high-speed growth, pay attention to user experience, and deepen their technical barriers. They are highly appreciated by customers and have established high-quality industry reputations. "
The Chengdu-based company raised tens of millions of U.S. dollars in a series B round of financing led by Vertex Ventures in May 2019 and an undisclosed series A+ round from Unity Ventures in January 2019. Previously, it received tens of millions of yuan in a series A round from Chengwei Capital in July 2015 and millions of yuan in an angel round from Wang Xiao, a member of the founding team of Baidu in January 2015.

Excessive joint loadings, either single (acute contact stress caused, for example, by blunt trauma) or repetitive (cumulative contact stress caused by cyclic loading of the joint), cause progressive joint degeneration and subsequent development of the clinical syndrome of osteoarthritis (OA). Joint injuries causing acute excessive contact stress are common and often affect young adults. Each year, one in 12 people between the ages of 18 and 44 seeks medical attention for treatment of joint injury, and more than 12% of all lower limb OA is caused by joint trauma. Despite advances in surgical treatment and rehabilitation of injured joints, the risk of OA following joint fractures has not decreased in the last 50 years. Recent evidence shows that intraarticular fractures are accompanied by acute, rapid chondrocyte death along fracture lines in the tissue (Fig. 1). This progressive cell damage may be an effective target for therapeutic treatment to preserve cartilage metabolism and thus, reduce the risk of subsequent posttraumatic OA. | {

Q: How to convert any human readable date to unix timestamp I have a date like this 01/20/2013 and trying to get the unix timestamp for this date. I have searched a lot and found out that how to convert present date into unix timestamp but didn't find my solution.
here is my code what i'm doing.
NSDate *date = mydate; //myDate is the date like 01/20/2013
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[ NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[formatter setDateFormat:@"mm/dd/yyyy"];
NSString *timestamp = [formatter stringFromDate:date];
NSLog(@"%@",timestamp);
I'm getting null as timestamp value in my console.
A: iOS provides -(NSTimeInterval)timeIntervalSince1970 for NSDate objects which returns the number of seconds since 00:00:00 GMT January 1, 1970. NSTimeInterval is a double floating point type so you get the seconds and fractions of a second.
time_t unixTime = (time_t) [your_date timeIntervalSince1970];
Here time_t is usually a signed 32-bit integer type (long or int).
A: you can get it with
- (NSTimeInterval)timeIntervalSince1970
UPDATE:
For Example in int ...
int unixtimestamp = [mydate timeIntervalSince1970];
And other Example in NSTimeInterval
NSTimeInterval ti = [mydate timeIntervalSince1970];

Around 15% of the world's population, or one billion people, live with disabilities. People are often unaware of the great number of persons living with disabilities around the world and the challenges they face.
Persons with disabilities, "the world's largest minority", often face barriers to participation in all aspects of society. Barriers can take a variety of forms, including those relating to the physical environment or to information and communications technology (ICT), or those resulting from legislation or policy, or from societal attitudes or discrimination. The result is that persons with disabilities do not have equal access to society or services, including education, employment, health care, transportation, political participation or justice.
International Day of People with Disability aims to promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilize support for the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities. It also seeks to increase awareness of gains to be derived from the inclusion of persons with disabilities in every aspect of life.

- All gas appliances should be routinely checked to ensure continuing safe operation.
- Gas Safe recommends that complete servicing and safety checks should be carried out least once a year by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
- Boiler warranty and service plans usually require appliances to be serviced annually to satisfy clause conditions.
Sophisticated modern heating appliances need regular servicing to ensure continuing outstanding performance and completely safe operation.
Keeping your boiler or gas appliance in tip-top operating condition can maximise energy efficiency and reduce the risk of an inconvenient operating failure. Nobody relishes the possibility of a gas boiler breakdown in the middle of winter or the resulting ice-cold radiators and loss of domestic hot water for showers or baths.
A malfunctioning gas appliance can also produce lethal carbon monoxide gas and produce excessive condensation.
Having your appliance competently serviced before the beginning of winter can help to keep your home safe, snug and warm throughout the cold winter months.
Combico Heating can arrange the perfect gas appliance-servicing programme to keep you and your home protected against unexpected appliance breakdowns and the extortionate cost of emergency call-out charges.
Only Gas Safe Registered engineers can work on gas and fit, fix and service boilers, gas fires and most types of gas cookers in your home. A Combico Heating engineer is Gas Safe registered. | {

You may or may not know this about me, but I am a die hard Cowboys fan. Period. I have no conference allegiance. Everyone in the NFC East is my enemy and they are lucky to get the opportunity to play us every season twice. I have loved the Cowboys thru the 1 – 15 season, three Superbowls and now the 1 playoff game in I don't know how many years and still I am Cowboy Blue, through and through.
So, when I tell you that I was cheering for the Giants on Sunday. There must be a good reason. I cheered for the Giants because, . . . I can't stand Tom Brady.
No way in the world should Tom Brady get more rings then Troy and Emmitt. He is lucky to have the three that he has. It is just mind boggling that he has been as successful as he has. In my oppinion, he didn't work hard enough for it. He got the position off of an injury and had great players around him. And still, no one talks about them, they just talk about Brady and his supermodel wife. It is annoying.
So, I was a Giants fan for 4 hours on Sunday and am very happy with the results. 21 – 17, in Indianapolis. Eli Manning – MVP.
Madonna, LMFAO, Nicki Minja, MIA did the half time show. It looked really cool.
One interesting tidbit that I think shows why some women should not be allowed to be NFL player wives. There is a report trending now about how some fan yelled to Giselle after the game, "Manning owns Brady." in which she replied, "My husband can't throw AND catch the f—king ball. Someone needs to make a catch." Nice Giselle. Kick the team and cause tension in the locker room. Smooth. | {

The FIND LOCATION has stopped working on V1 and V2 images. The assumption at this point is the Google site that EZSrve is currently programmed to use has changed format. Other users who encountered this have been able to enter Latitude and Longitude values which can be determined through various web sites by Zipcode. I searched the Lat/Long values for 98272 with Lat 47.8833 Long -121.8896 as the results. This works for me on the East coast. Be sure to put the minus (-) sign in front of the Longitude value. | {

Warriors Under Review: Hot Shooting, 'Hamptons 5' Key to Win Over Spurs
By Monte Poole • Published February 7, 2019 • Updated on February 7, 2019 at 12:31 pm
OAKLAND – That Kevin Durant used his postgame platform to get extra spicy with media on Wednesday obscured the fact that he was superb in initiating the deconstruction of the San Antonio Spurs.
The notion that these Warriors would lose to this band of Spurs – with LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan unavailable – was unfathomable. It was close for most of the first half, and then the Warriors shifted into ruthless gear and rolled to a 141-102 win at Oracle Arena.
Here are some of the positives and negatives in the 39-point victory:
Warriors 10 hours ago
NBA Twitter Reacts to Steph Curry's First Career Buzzer-Beater
Warriors Observations: Steph Curry Hits Buzzer-Beater in Win Over Rockets
Shooting was razor sharp
Durant was 9-of-13 from the field, including 3-of-4 from deep. Klay Thompson was even better, 11-of-13 and 4-of-5. Stephen Curry was 7-of-12 and 3-of-5. Their combined sharpshooting, 27-of-38 and 10-of-14, was Exhibit A as evidence this was not a fair matchup.
Exhibit B: The team's 77.3-percent shooting in the third quarter. Exhibit C was the team's 115 points through three quarters, the most allowed by the Spurs in 20 seasons with Gregg Popovich as a the coach.
It was ugly and the Warriors loved it.
Hello, Hamptons 5
Once the most frightening quintet in the NBA, the Hamptons 5 have had some ups and downs this season. Not on this night. The group – Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala, Curry, Durant and Thompson – put the Spurs to sleep with an 11-0 burst late in the second quarter that raised a three-point lead to 14 at the half.
That burst took all of 88 seconds, during which they forced three turnovers. Good night, San Antonio.
File it under gratuitous production
For so much of Steve Kerr's tenure as coach, the Warriors have used the third quarter to wipe deficits or simply rob opponents of their will. Though that tendency has faded lately, it was there in every way in this game. In addition to shooting 77.3 percent (the second-hottest quarter in the NBA this season), the Warriors recorded 16 assists while piling up 49 points.
This was the Warriors performing basketball euthanasia, without the compassion.
Cook is, um, not cooking
Because he is a poor defender, Quinn Cook's path to playing time is down the avenue of offense. Clearly searching for his shot, Cook jacked 10 over the final 14 minutes. He made two. He missed all five of his 3-point attempts. He is now 4-of-29 beyond the arc over his last 13 games.
Cook has to score to offset what he gives up. He has spent much of this season well above 40-percent shooting from deep. He's now at 38.3 percent, a solid number, but there is no sign of rediscovering his shot.
Durant's exemplary game
Durant provided an early spark, with 15 points in the first eight minutes. But there was much more to his game than the scoring referenced above. He delivered in other significant ways, recording team highs in assists (nine, with zero turnovers), rebounds (eight) and steals (three). He played phenomenal game.
[RELATED: Jared Dudley offers his thoughts on Kevin Durant lashing out at media]
Durant's emotions clearly are affected by the chatter surrounding his future. His game, however, is as smooth as ever.

Tech Digest daily roundup: Blue Origin loses NASA court case

Image: A Blue Origin rocket blasts off into space
A judge has dismissed Jeff Bezos's private spaceflight company Blue Origin's lawsuit against NASA over the awarding of a moon-landing contract to SpaceX. In a single-page ruling, which Blue Origin has until 18 November to redact before it is released in full, the US Court of Federal Claims granted the government's wish to have the lawsuit dismissed. It poses a potential end to Jeff Bezos's bid to take part in NASA's Artemis programme, which aimed to take the first woman and the next man to the lunar surface by 2024 – although that date is in question.

Instagram has brought back support for Twitter card previews after removing the feature nine years ago. Now, when users share an Instagram link on Twitter, a small preview of the post will be displayed. Instagram controversially removed the feature shortly after being acquired by Facebook in 2012. Twitter card previews started for some users on Wednesday and will eventually be available to everyone. Instagram and Twitter are both promoting the change. BBC
For several months, WhatsApp has been testing a feature that would allow users to link their account to secondary devices and continue to send and receive messages without the primary smartphone online. This feature is now officially rolling out to all WhatsApp users in the most recent update of WhatsApp on both Android and iOS versions. Previously, you had to make sure your main smartphone was still connected to the internet before you could carry a conversation on your linked web browser. When enabling this feature on your smartphone, you need to opt into the feature – labeled as still in "Beta". Once enabled, you'll be unlinked from all devices before re-linking to a new device.

After passing the Senate in August, the US House of Representatives early Saturday morning passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill 228-206. The passage hands President Biden a win after months of negotiations and wings of the Democratic party attempting to attach the infrastructure bill to the president's Build Back Better bill. With its passage, it heads to the president's desk for a signature…The bill includes major support for electric vehicles and clean energy, specifically, there is $7.5 billion set aside to create a nationwide network of EV charging stations to expedite the adoption of electric cars this decade. Another $65 billion will fund an investment in clean energy and renewables for the nation's electricity grid, and promises to create a more resilient system. Funds will also funnel to various clean energy technology projects. CNet
Ukraine has filed charges of espionage and attempted state overthrow against five people who allegedly were part of a hackers group controlled by Russia. The Security Service of Ukraine said Friday that the hackers group known as "Armagedon" was responsible for some 5,000 cyberattacks on Ukrainian state agencies since 2014. The service said it had intercepted and recorded conversations of two group members it claims are agents of Russia's Federal Security Service, the main descendant of the Soviet KGB, working in Russia-annexed Crimea. The five alleged hackers were charged in absentia. There were no details on the extent of the damage any of the group's attacks may have caused. AP News

Q: Changing value bind to ng-model doesn't change the value on the input text I have an input text box which use ngModel bind to a variable inside the component class. Upon clicking a button I want to clear the input text, however changing the variable value doesn't change the input text.
I have re-assign the variable and call detectChanges() from ChangeDetectorRef, but it still doesn't work.
This is the template that I have
<form #beaconForm="ngForm" autocomplete="off">
<input #searchBox
id="search-query"
name="search-query"
[ngModel]="inputValue"
(ngModelChange)="searchAutocomplete($event)"
(keydown)="onKeyDown($event, searchBox)"
(blur)="onBlur()"
(focus)="onFocused(searchBox.value)">
<button color="accent" mat-mini-fab (click)="action(searchBox.value)"><mat-icon>add</mat-icon></button>
</form>
Then on clicking action I want to do
private inputValue: string = "";
action(value) {
this.inputValue = "";
this.cd.detectChanges();
}
I'm expecting this to clear the input, but it doesn't. Any idea where's my mistake?
A: It should be [(ngModel)]="inputValue" if you want two-way data binding. [ngModel] works fine for one-way data binding.
Try changing the code as:
<form #beaconForm="ngForm" autocomplete="off">
<input #searchBox id="search-query" name="search-query"
\/\/
[(ngModel)]="inputValue"
(ngModelChange)="searchAutocomplete($event)"
(keydown)="onKeyDown($event, searchBox)"
(blur)="onBlur()"
(focus)="onFocused(searchBox.value)" >
<button color="accent" mat-mini-fab (click)="action(searchBox.value)">
<mat-icon>add</mat-icon>
</button>
</form>
Stackblitz
A: After your comment I understand, why your doesn't work with one way binding.
Lets start with inputValue = 1111
On button click, which triggers action() method call, we set inputValue to ''. Now whenever we change value in the input box directly, the value of the inputValue variable doesn't change since its one way variable bind. So now the value of inputValue stays as '' even if the input box has some value in it. When we call action() it sets it back to ''. But wait it was already '', so the view doesn't need to be updated (even doing a manual change detection won't work because angular will not see any change).
To fix your issue, either you can use, [(ngModel)] as suggested by everyone.
If you want to try out, you can still use [ngModel] but just update the value of the variable on input change.
Something like:
searchAutocomplete(e) {
this.inputValue = e
// rest of the code
}
But this is just for a clear understanding, we don't need this workaround if two way binding can solve the issue.
https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-rcdty6?file=src%2Fapp%2Fapp.component.html
A: See the following working version:
https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-cqpqjj
ts
inputValue: string = "";
action(value) {
this.inputValue = "";
}
html
<form #beaconForm="ngForm" autocomplete="off">
<input #searchBox
id="search-query"
name="search-query"
[(ngModel)]="inputValue">
<button color="accent" mat-mini-fab (click)="action(searchBox.value)">add</button>
</form>
<span>#{{inputValue}}#</span>
A:
Try this.
[(ngModel)]={{inputValue}}

EastEnders spoilers: Hayley Slater stunned when estranged mother shows up
She's been in some big movies
Hayley Slater is in for a shock in tonight's episode of EastEnders as her estranged mother Bev shows up in Albert Square.
And the new member of the Slater clan is set to be played by a famous face - Ashley McGuire, who starred in the Harry Potter movies as well as Bridget Jones's Baby.
Her arrival comes after Hayley finally tells her family she is pregnant.
A source told the Sun: "Audiences will see Bev arrive on the Square as a ghost from Hayley's past – her mother.

"In her first episode viewers will get a glimpse of Bev striding through Walford but when Hayley spots her she can't hide quickly enough.
"It soon becomes clear that there is no love lost between the mother and daughter but mystery surrounds why she has arrived and how she found out about Hayley's pregnancy."
According to the source, Bev will be "brash and gobby" and is set to cause plenty of drama for the family.
The actress, who played a Death Eater in the last two Harry Potter movies, is also no stranger to TV, having previously appeared in Coronation Street, Casualty and the Bill.
