Johnny Cash was arrested in October 1965 when U.S. Customs agents found hundreds of pep pills and tranquilizers in his luggage. The Man in Black--who was returning by plane from a trip to Juarez, Mexico--spent a night in the El Paso jail, and later pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count. Cash paid a $1000 fine and received a 30-day suspended sentence.

Verizon has rolled out a new way to battle those seemingly endless robocalls. A free version of the company's Call Filter service was made available today to a first round of Verizon Wireless customers.
In addition, this week, the company began using STIR/SHAKEN caller ID technology as part of its network "interconnections," company spokesman David Weissmann said.
Verizon said it has identified nearly 300 million numbers linked to spam and robocalling when it first detailed the news back in January.
The free Call Filter product offers wireless customers alerts when a call is likely spam, a way to report unsolicited numbers, and the option to automatically block robocalls, based on a preferred level of risk.
STIR/SHAKEN technology also was used on a number of calls to and from Verizon’s wireless network this week, according to a press release from the company. STIR/SHAKEN uses a recently-developed call authentication standard to help identify callers who “spoof” Caller ID information in order to hide their identities or impersonate legitimate customers.
In the coming months, Verizon will begin to deploy STIR/SHAKEN on its interconnections with all major carriers to verify that the phone number displayed on Caller ID is the phone number that actually placed the call.
All "postpaid" wireless customers with a compatible device can enroll in Call Filter, by downloading the free app for either Apple or Android devices, Weissman said.
Customers looking for "enhanced" call protection experience also can download the Call Filter subscription app, for $2.99 a month per line. The subscription feature includes the ability to create a personal robocall block list, access to additional insights with the robocall risk meter and a spam number lookup feature.
Customers of the other three carriers have some options, too.
AT&T subscribers have the option of using AT&T Call Protect. The two, free apps offer automatic fraud blocking and suspected spam warnings. Customers can manually block unwanted calls.
T-Mobile customers have two free ways to fight robocalls and spam calls. Scam ID is an automatic system that identifies spam numbers when your phone rings. There's no app to install or service to turn on. Scam Block is an opt-in way of blocking suspect phone numbers. To turn this on, dial #662# on your T-Mobile handset. To turn it off, dial #632#.
Sprint customers can pay for "Premium Caller ID," at $2.99 a month. The service identifies callers who are not already in your contacts. Some devices provide "enhanced Spam identification features" according to the product description online.
Cell phone users with any service also still can sign up for the National Do Not Call Registry, as an attempt to avoid telemarketing calls.

On April 4th, NEO Global Development (NGD) held its first workshop in Zurich, Switzerland at the Swisscom Blockchain office. Lili Zhao, director of NGD’s Swiss office, hosted the event while neow3j co-founder Dr. Guilherme Sperb Machado (Guil), and NEO developer Rendong Liu conducted the workshop.
Lili finished by highlighting various dApps built on the NEO blockchain and invited participants to explore the ecosystem further and join the community.
Guil then introduced the UXTO (Unspent Transaction Output) account system on NEO. After outlining a scenario that included a series of transactions, Guil demonstrated how to set up a NEO PrivateNet and neo-scan to explore the UTXO system further. He used neow3j to explain how a raw transaction is composed, signed, and validated by the network.
Rendong, who had freshly arrived from the airport, then discussed digital assets on the NEO blockchain. In his presentation, Rendong spoke about some of the challenges faced when using UTXO assets and the benefits of using the account model on which NEP-5 assets are based. Rendong outlined the structure of NEP-5 tokens and demonstrated a transfer using a wallet and neon-js on the NEO MainNet.
The workshop came to an end with a light-hearted game to demonstrate a simple form of delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance (dBFT), the consensus mechanism used by the NEO blockchain.
The dBFT-inspired simple game worked as follows: two groups were formed with Lili and Guil acting as the “speaker” of each group. The speakers randomly wrote down a number between 1 and 10 and asked their respective group members to do the same. Each group was then halved, with the half holding numbers closest to the speaker remaining in the game. This was intended to demonstrate consensus and the game was repeated until one member remained in each group.
Istvan Balogh, senior iOS engineer, and Ionut Scirlet, SAP solution architect at the Swiss Post were the two randomly selected NEO winners and were awarded 5 NEO each, with Istvan sharing 2 NEO with another participant.
The workshop is being followed by a three-day NEO developer training event hosted by the Swisscom Blockchain Academy from Monday, April 8th through Wednesday, April 10th. The focus of the multi-day training is on how to develop smart contracts and dApps on the NEO blockchain.

lowercased:
on april 4th, neo global development (ngd) held its first workshop in zurich, switzerland at the swisscom blockchain office. lili zhao, director of ngd’s swiss office, hosted the event while neow3j co-founder dr. guilherme sperb machado (guil), and neo developer rendong liu conducted the workshop.
lili finished by highlighting various dapps built on the neo blockchain and invited participants to explore the ecosystem further and join the community.
guil then introduced the uxto (unspent transaction output) account system on neo. after outlining a scenario that included a series of transactions, guil demonstrated how to set up a neo privatenet and neo-scan to explore the utxo system further. he used neow3j to explain how a raw transaction is composed, signed, and validated by the network.
rendong, who had freshly arrived from the airport, then discussed digital assets on the neo blockchain. in his presentation, rendong spoke about some of the challenges faced when using utxo assets and the benefits of using the account model on which nep-5 assets are based. rendong outlined the structure of nep-5 tokens and demonstrated a transfer using a wallet and neon-js on the neo mainnet.
the workshop came to an end with a light-hearted game to demonstrate a simple form of delegated byzantine fault tolerance (dbft), the consensus mechanism used by the neo blockchain.
the dbft-inspired simple game worked as follows: two groups were formed with lili and guil acting as the “speaker” of each group. the speakers randomly wrote down a number between 1 and 10 and asked their respective group members to do the same. each group was then halved, with the half holding numbers closest to the speaker remaining in the game. this was intended to demonstrate consensus and the game was repeated until one member remained in each group.
istvan balogh, senior ios engineer, and ionut scirlet, sap solution architect at the swiss post were the two randomly selected neo winners and were awarded 5 neo each, with istvan sharing 2 neo with another participant.

Martin Parr, who was born in England in 1952, is one of the most popular photographers worldwide. The exhibition in the KUNST HAUS WIEN is the first great retrospective of the famous Magnum photographer in Austria. It provides a comprehensive insight into Parr’s works.
I must confess that Martin Parr wasn’t really a big name to me, before I’ve visited this exhibition. If his name still doesn’t mean anything to you, you simply have to continue reading this article! He had his international breakthrough in the mid-1980s with his photo series “Last Resort”, where he took pictures of British beach vacationers.
Martin Parr intentionally directs our attention to the curious and absurd aspects in our everyday lives. He shows the unspectacular, the ordinary things, the fringes of our day to day lives, which we often don’t even realize. Doing so he uses typical clichés about the English people. Over the years he’s been traveling a lot and therefore created a lot of photo series about different countries and cities, while his key message, however, is always the same. With a lot of irony he shows the excessiveness of our consumer society.
Another special characteristic of the artist is his numerous self-portraits. By now his collection comprises more than 600 images. On his journeys he had portraits of himself taken in photo studios over and over again. This series is certainly also worth taking one or another look.

After the over indulgence of food and wine over the last few weeks I’m feeling the need for a bit of a cleanse and for my skin to actually look like I have been on a holiday. These “glow” balls are my new favourite version of bliss/protein/energy balls and they are beauty food for your skin so you will “glow” from the inside out. Well we can only hope any way!
If you are that way inclined they are gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free and do still manage, in my opinion, to taste delicious. They got the double thumbs up from all my taste testers except one extreme sugar loving friend! These can be keep in the fridge for up to a week in an airtight container or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
I’m not going to say what they potentially look like unfortunately I couldn’t get them to look any prettier but if you want to tart them up a bit you could roll them in desiccated coconut but just think of all the good you are doing yourself regardless! Your skin will thank you.
I did them in the Thermomix but a high powered blender will work as well.
Turn the TM back on speed 8 and run the water through the top slowly until the mixture becomes sticky mine took 30 seconds but if yours is getting gooey stop the water.
Scoop out mixture and roll into the size you want and refrigerate for at least half an hour before eating (you can put them in the freezer if you like).
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Enjoy and I hope you glow!
Are you keen to get your inner glow on? Will you give them a go?
Haha I love it! You are so right – bliss balls aren’t the prettiest of things – but these would taste INCREDIBLE!!!
I know it took me ages to decide how to photograph them!
I hear you, after a few big weeks of travelling and waaaay too much yummy food I need to get my glow back as well. These look great and perfect timing, my thermomix arrived last night!
I’m so excited for you getting your Thermomix – I’m sure you will LOVE it.
I might give them a try too without and see what the difference is like. I sometimes find cacao a bit too bitter but the quantities in these was fine for me. You really don’t like chocolate?????
Brilliant! Totes on my list for when I go on holidays at the end of the week!!
Ha! I need to work on my “styling” of these types of things, what ever I did….rabbit droppings!

text: 2 Trucks Burn in Pine Harbor Subdivision, Possible Foul Play, ONALASKA, May 9, 2008 - At approximately 11:20 pm on May 9, 2008, neighbor Ray Viellieux and his son were awakened by what they described as the sound of an explosion. Viellieux looked out his window to see his neighbor's 2006 Chevy Z71 Off Road Silverado engulfed in flames, shortly after that, a 1999 Chevy S-10 (directly in front of the Silverado) caught fire and both trucks were totaled at 470 Tallow in the Pine Harbor subdivision of Onalaska. Misty Schuetze, the owner of the vehicles says the same thing; she heard an explosion, looked out the window of her mobile home only to see her truck burning. "My ex did this"..."Oh yeah, it was him. Yes, my ex did this". Schuetze says that she's convinced that her ex-boyfriend is responsible for this and that this is his mode of operation. The Onalaska Volunteer Fire Department responded to the scene and doused the burning vehicles. The intensity of the flames melted the vinyl skirting on her mobile home and nearly caught it on fire. After the fire department left, investigators moved in and began an investigation into the cause of the dual blaze. Onalaska policeman Anthony Yaw and Polk County Sheriff's Deputy Keith Franklin helped secure the scene as Polk County Fire Marshall Jay Barbee investigated. Soon, Polk County Sheriff's Department investigator Christi Allen arrived. Both Allen and Barbee said the cause of the blaze is under investigation although Schuetze is convinced this is an intentional act of arson.

Governor Andrew Cuomo says he may have to call a special session in December to deal with potential funding cuts from Washington that he calls part of a “federal assault” on New York.
Cuomo says he’s developing a plan to manage what he says will be over a billion dollars in cuts to the state’s public hospitals, now that Congress has failed to renew a key program.
“All hospitals will need to find savings,” Cuomo said.
Cuomo says he’s engaged the financial firm KPMG to do come up with a proposal to distribute the cuts, and will also reconvene his Medicaid Redesign Team that revamped the Medicaid program several years ago. The legislature will then have a chance to vote on the cost-cutting plan, under provisions of a new law passed as part of the state budget earlier this year.
The governor admits the cuts will be “controversial” and “difficult” to allocate.
“I’m sure it will be a heated argument,” Cuomo said.
The cuts stem from the expiration of the Disproportionate Share Hospital fund, or DSH, which provided money to public hospitals to help pay for care for the uninsured. It ran out on October 1st, after Congress failed to renew the fund. The DSH fund is part of the Affordable Care Act. When the ACA began in 2010, President Obama and Congress intended to eventually phase out the money to help the uninsured, because under the new national health plan, the numbers of uninsured were expected to drop. In New York the number of uninsured has been reduced by half.
Critics have said Cuomo and state leaders should have known the cut was coming, and the governor acknowledges that he did anticipate that the DSH money would end someday. He compares it to a person being told to stop eating hamburgers because they have high cholesterol and might get a heart attack.
Congress also failed to renew funding for the Child Health Plus program for poor children, a program originally begun by the present Governor’s father, the late Governor Mario Cuomo, and adopted nationwide by former President Bill Clinton. New York will lose a billion dollars, but the governor’s Medicaid director Jason Helgerson says the program will continue to provide health care for around 330,000 children even though the federal component has now ended. But he says the state will now have to come up with the missing money. Helgerson admits it has policymakers “scared”.
It’s possible though, that the cuts could be avoided. Cuomo says Congress could act in December to renew the DSH funding. New York Senator and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, along with House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, cut a deal with President Trump to work out a new federal spending plan by mid-December.
Cuomo says if that happens, the legislature won’t need to meet until January and the cuts won’t have to be made.
But he says he does not have a lot of confidence in Washington’s ability right now “acting sensibly”.
In the meantime, Cuomo says he will appeal to the state’s congressional delegation, both Democrats and Republicans to fight to restore the cuts.
The governor’s plans to cope with federal cuts come as the State’s Comptroller Tom DiNapoli has issued a report finding New Yorkers gave over $40 billion dollars more in taxes in 2016 to Washington then they got back in benefits. And the report finds that gap has doubled from $19.9 billion dollars in 2013.

(Photo: Lisa Norwood / Flickr)The country’s biggest banks are happy to make their money from the same governments about which they love to whine.
Bankers love to rail against government interference in the “free market.” Jamie Dimon, grilled this week in front of Congress over JP Morgan Chase’s massive recent losses, famously complained last year that some regulations are “anti-American.” And Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs, warned ominously that increased regulations might make the bank seek out another location to do its business: “Operations can be moved globally and capital can be accessed globally,” he said.
Even while some of them occasionally have the grace to admit that they wouldn’t still be around without the massive taxpayer bailouts of 2008 (and continued access to ultra-cheap loans from the Federal Reserve), they still like to claim that they’re free-market entities, subject to the whims of the invisible hand, and that the government’s meddling can only be destructive.
Yet those same banks are happy to make their money from the same governments about which they love to whine. Most of us know about the big, official bailouts. But the banks get much more than that from federal and state governments. Those lobbying dollars and campaign donations aren’t just to keep regulators away; they lead to lucrative contracts where banks are paid to administer government services, and are put in position to skim fees off the very same taxpayers who pay for those services.
The big banks have their tentacles in every aspect of government—despite right-wing hand-wringing about government bureaucracy, the big banks are often actually the ones coming between you and your money. So who’s really getting rich off “welfare”? JP Morgan and Bank of America.
Below are six ways the big banks rake in cash every day from services that are supposed to help working Americans.
Suzanne Merkelson at Republic Reports points out that Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits—the program formerly known as food stamps, which provides food aid to families—increased to $72 billion last year (from $30 billion in 2007).
JP Morgan spends a bunch of money lobbying the Department of Agriculture on this program, making sure they get what they want—a big paycheck from state taxpayers.
And the best part? When you have a problem with your JP Morgan SNAP benefits card? You call a JP Morgan call center for help—and that call center just might be in India.
So to recap: big bank makes money off a program that helps people who are unemployed—and creates jobs in India with that money, rather than creating them here in the US.
The banks get paid directly by the state to handle the SNAP program, but that’s far from the only program designed to help the victims of the lousy economy that has turned into a cash cow for the banks that created the crisis in the first place.
The bank also collects a 3-cent fee from the state each time it “facilitates” a transfer on a prepaid card. It also gets those fees for direct-depositing unemployment benefits into someone’s bank account.
USPIRG found that 32 of the 50 largest public 4-year universities and 26 of the largest 50 community colleges—the schools in part supported by taxpayers—had deals with banks to provide debit or prepaid cards for students. The campuses often get money from the banks for the privilege of access to students, and the banks then make their money back in fees—and possibly other ways, too. Mela Heestand, writing for AlterNet about the protests at the University of California Davis that drove US Bank to close its campus bank branch, pointed out that “university contracts with banks encourage tuition hikes, because banks stand to profit directly from rising tuition, while the administration comes to rely on funding from bank contracts.” US Bank has agreements at 52 campuses around the country.
Students are the ones bearing the costs of access to money they’re already paying interest on, and USPIRG points out that the fees are “steep and frequent,” including per-swipe fees, inactivity fees (yes, you read that right), overdraft fees and fees to reload their prepaid cards. And financial aid that is paid to students through a debit card is subject, just like any other card, to ATM fees if students use an ATM not owned by the bank that currently has their money. The Department of Education has rules on this practice, banning banks from charging fees if they provide “convenient” ATMs for the students’ use, but their definition of “convenient” is vague—leaving students at the mercy of a single ATM on campus, which produces long lines and leaves no alternative if it breaks or runs out of cash.
It’s not only your unemployment, financial aid, or SNAP benefits that the big banks control these days—they also might come between you and your tax return.
Once again, South Carolina takes the lead, claiming to save the taxpayer money by cutting a deal with Bank of America, this time to send out tax returns in the form of—you guessed it—prepaid debit cards from Bank of America. And just like with unemployment benefits and financial aid (or your regular, consumer bank card), the bank is making its money collecting fees from people trying to access their own money.
“They’re not even nickel and diming people, they’re five-dollaring and 10-dollaring people,” Sue Berkowitz, Director of the Appleseed Legal Justice Center, says.
Oh, and the bank got this deal through a no-bid contract—the Department of Revenue calls them “the best fit” for the program. The program isn’t mandatory but, the Palmetto Public Record notes, it’s opt-out, not opt-in. Which means that unless you request otherwise, your money will be given to you through Bank of America—which in addition to sticking you with ATM fees and other charges, is going to make interest on your money while it’s sitting in their account.
Getting the big banks to refinance mortgages and help people facing foreclosure stay in their homes has been a huge fight, with activists around the country putting their bodies on the line, physically occupying homes to keep residents in them.
Now the program that’s supposed to help those struggling homeowners looks instead to be a big fat handout to the same banks that were preying on borrowers to begin with. According to the Wall Street Journal, banks that service mortgages could make as much as $12 billion by refinancing under the newest version of the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP 2.0). And the borrowers? Oh, they’ll save money, too—somewhere around $2.5 billion, maybe $5 billion tops.
The program is supposed to let underwater borrowers who’ve made all their payments in good faith refinance their mortgages at current market value. But, Bonnie Kavoussi at the Huffington Post notes, instead those banks are able to charge steep fees and above-market interest rates.
In recent decades, governments and central banks around the world have developed a consistent pattern of behavior when trouble strikes banks that are large or interconnected enough to threaten the broader economy: They step in to ensure that all the bank’s creditors, not just depositors, are paid in full. Although typically necessary to prevent permanent economic damage, such bailouts encourage a reckless confidence among creditors. They assume the government will always make them whole, so they become willing to lend at lower rates, particularly to systemically important banks.
In other words, because we bailed them out once, the expectation that we’ll do it again is actually making the banks money. Other lenders are willing to lend money to the “systemically important banks” (read: banks that got bailed out by the US government because they were “too big to fail”) at lower interest rates because they presume that they’ll always get their money back since the government will make sure the banks don’t go belly up. So the biggest banks are paying less in interest than medium-size and small banks—and that adds up to billions.
So they’re profiting just from being too big to fail. And each time there’s a crisis, the expectation of government support actually grows—as of 2009, Bloomberg notes, they’re saving about 0.8 percent every time they borrow. The total benefit to the big banks just of the expectation that there will be another bailout? About $76 billion a year—which Bloomberg points out is equal to their total profit from the past twelve months, and is more than the federal government spends each year on education.
Dimon, of course, claimed that it wasn’t true, and that he borrowed in the marketplace, “with the smartest people in the world.” But it looks like the smartest people in the world are getting a whole lot of help—and making a whole lot of money—off of college students and taxpayers, off the working poor and unemployed in the U.S.
