MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER OF CLARIFICATION
On March 19, 1999, FDIC filed a Motion for Leave to File Materials under Seal and a Request for Clarification. FDIC seeks clarification as to whether the February 17, 1999 Order ("Order") precludes it from investigating and possibly referring to the Department of Justice, suspected violations by James L. Sexton of governmentwide *1110 disclosure statutes and corresponding criminal provisions. On March 22, 1999, the Refco Defendants (Refco) filed a Preliminary Objection and Unopposed Notice of Intent to Respond to FDIC's Request for Clarification and Motion to File Under Seal, asserting both filings were improper efforts to reargue the clear Order protecting Sexton from further intimidation or threats by FDIC and noting that FDIC had failed to comply with D.C.Colo.LR 7.1A. On March 23, 1999, FDIC filed a Superseding Motion for Leave to File, Nunc Pro Tunc, Materials under Seal and Certification of Compliance with D.C.Colo. LR. 7.1A. On April 8, 1999, Refco's (a) Response to FDIC's Request for Clarification and (b) Request for Criminal Referral were filed. Refco also filed a proposed order for my signature allowing the materials to be filed under seal pending further court order. I signed that order on April 9, 1999. On April 22, 1999, FDIC Filed its Reply to "The Refco Entities' (a) Response to FDIC's Request for Clarification and (b) Request for Criminal Referral," which was permitted to be filed under seal. On April 27, 1999, Refco filed a Reply in Support of Request for Criminal Referral and requested leave to file the reply under seal. I grant FDIC's requests for permission to file its initial pleadings under seal, clarify the Order, grant Refco's motion to file its reply in support of the request for criminal referral under seal, and deny Refco's request for a criminal referral.
On February 9, 1999, Refco filed a motion, seeking an order enabling its banking practice expert witness, James L. Sexton, to testify. Sexton had recently been employed by the FDIC as its Director of Supervision. Refco alleged FDIC sought to prevent him from testifying for or further assisting Refco in this case.[1]
In a further motion, filed on February 17, 1999, Refco requested an expedited hearing to enable Sexton to testify, asserting it had been informed that the FDIC had advised Sexton that it would terminate his services and subject him to criminal prosecution unless by February 18, 1999, he terminated his expert witness relationship with Refco. Refco asserted this was the case, even though Sexton's testimony and this litigation concern the conduct of Jefferson Bank and Trust and do not relate to the performance of his official duties with FDIC. I held an expedited hearing on February 17, 1999.
In a letter dated February 17, 1999 (faxed to me in chambers), William L. Gardner, representing Sexton, wrote to Refco's counsel stating Refco had engaged Bracewell & Patterson for the purpose of having Sexton serve as a consultant and banking expert in this litigation and that, *1111 regardless of the position FDIC may take with regard to his testimony, he was no longer employed by Bracewell & Peterson and was not willing to testify, even if FDIC were to grant him permission to do so.
At the expedited hearing, FDIC asserted the problem was of Sexton's own making in that he had not disclosed his involvement in this litigation in the process of applying for employment with FDIC nor in documentation he completed thereafter. FDIC supported its ethics officer's finding that Sexton's acting as an expert witness for Refco had at minimum the appearance of a conflict of interest. It cited regulations adopted by the Office of Government Ethics barring current federal employees from serving as expert witnesses "other than on behalf of the United States" in "any proceedings ... in which the United States is a party or has a direct and substantial interest, unless the employee's participation is authorized by the agency." 5 C.F.R. § 2635.805(a) (1998).
I ruled the government regulations cited did not prevail over the orderly processes of this court in a pending matter such as this and FDIC and its ethics expert were under an obligation to apply to the court, rather than to take independent action as they did.[2] I appointed Sexton as a court expert under Federal Rules of Evidence 614,[3] stating I would require him to testify at trial in accordance with the report he had previously submitted. I stated further:
I will enjoin any activity detrimental to his employment based upon his complying with this court's orders to testify; and should he fail to testify when called to the stand, we'll worry about that at the time.
(Transcript Hearing Feb. 17, 1999, Mot. Enable Defs.' Expert Witness to Testify, at 27-28.)
I gave Refco until April 15, 1999 to appoint a new expert witness should it so wish. Further, I admonished: "Mr. Sexton will be here whether he likes it or not; and the FDIC, need I say, had better take no action against him for complying with the orders of this court." (Id. at 28.) FDIC's counsel, Craig Shaffer, then clarified: "I can assure you that the FDIC will not take any action because Mr. they have been very scrupulously making sure that any individual involved in this litigation has no contact with Mr. Sexton." (Id. at 28-29.) I responded: "That's fine. You can build Chinese walls or do whatever you want to; but if he's fired or threatened with criminal sanctions because he is appearing in this court as a court-appointed expert, as I just appointed him, then all hell is going to break loose." (Id. at 29.) Mr. Shaffer rejoined: "I understand, your Honor. We intend to comply." (Id.)
*1112 II. FDIC's Motion for Leave to File Materials under Seal.
FDIC requests me to exercise my inherent supervisory authority over its records and files to permit the FDIC to file its request for clarification and documents in support thereof under seal. The basis for sealing, according to FDIC, is that the request for clarification discusses confidential matters developed in conjunction with a confidential FDIC investigation that is not yet complete. FDIC wants the pleading filed under seal to (1) preserve the confidentiality of the FDIC's investigation, and (2) avoid embarrassment or undue prejudice to the subject of the investigation. I granted permission to file the response and reply briefs under seal and grant FDIC's motion for leave to file the motion under seal.[4] This order, however, is the order of a public court and will not be sealed.
III. FDIC's Request for Clarification and Refco's Request for Criminal Referral.
Refco maintains its request for clarification is not an attempt to reargue the Order but is intended to inform the court of a matter that has arisen with respect to a witness in the case and to obtain guidance in this regard. Specifically, FDIC wants to confirm the Order does not preclude it "from investigating, and possibly referring to the Department of Justice, suspected violations of several government-wide disclosure statutes applicable to senior executive branch officials, and corresponding criminal provisions." (FDIC's Request Clarification at 1.) The potential violations arise from Sexton's alleged failure to disclose his pre-existing retainer agreement with Graubard, Mollen & Miller (Refco's lead counsel in this case) before his employment with FDIC, his failure to terminate that agreement before assuming his duties at FDIC, and his failure thereafter to report his continuing obligations under the retainer agreement as required by the Ethics in Government Act, all of which, FDIC asserts, occurred more than one month before entry of the Order.
According to FDIC, its procedure in such circumstances is to investigate any failure by an FDIC employee to make a required disclosure and, if it finds "reasonable cause" to believe that the violation is "willful," refer the matter to the Attorney General of the United States. See 5 U.S.C.App. 4 § 104(b). FDIC footnotes that the information adduced by it also suggests a potential violation of the criminal statute. See 5 C.F.R. § 2634.701(a) (1998).[5] Before the Order was entered, *1113 FDIC states, its Assistant Executive Secretary (Ethics) had referred the matter to its Inspector General for investigation and, immediately after the hearing, the Inspector General was informed of the order and had stayed any investigation or action on the referral regarding Mr. Sexton. FDIC interprets the intention of the Order as not excusing Sexton's "separate and distinct failures to conclude outside employment that posed a conflict of interest with his senior executive position with the government and to disclose that continuing employment obligation as required by the Ethics in Government Act." (FDIC's Request for Clarification at 5.)
Refco posits FDIC's request for clarification is a further attempt to intimidate Sexton in an effort to prevent or influence his testimony. Contrary to FDIC's assertions, Refco maintains (1) Chairwoman Donna A. Tanoue of the FDIC knew of Sexton's role as a retained expert witness for Refco, (Refco's Resp. Request for Clarification, Aff. Scott Hershman, Ex. A ¶ 4); (2) before employing Sexton, FDIC officials knew about his expert opinion report concluding that Jefferson Bank & Trust ("JBT") caused its own loss and FDIC's counsel had deposed Sexton about his report for four days; (3) by letter dated December 21, 1998, (id., Ex. B), Sexton notified Scott Hershman, Refco's counsel, effective the end of that year he would be taking up the position of FDIC's Director of Supervision and could provide no further services in this case; (4) by letter dated January 7, 1999, (id., Ex. C), Craig B. Shaffer, counsel for FDIC, informed Refco's counsel: "It is also my understanding that last month Mr. Sexton made you aware of his impending change of employment," indicating FDIC knew Sexton had informed Refco, before he started his job at FDIC, that he could no longer serve as its expert witness because he was about to be employed by FDIC; and (5) from Sexton's perspective he had terminated his relationship with Refco before joining FDIC and before submitting his Financial Disclosure Form (SF 278) on January 15, 1999, leaving nothing to disclose on that form regarding this litigation.
Refco additionally seeks an order making a criminal referral of FDIC to the United States Department of Justice because, it asserts, FDIC, in violation of criminal statutes precluding witness tampering, e.g., 18 U.S.C. §§ 1503, 1512, continues in its efforts to affect the outcome of this case "by corruptly seeking to influence and prevent Mr. Sexton's testimony through use of intimidation and threats, and by engaging in misleading conduct (including falsely accusing Mr. Sexton of a crime and threatening to prosecute Mr. Sexton under criminal statutes that FDIC knew did not apply to him)," (Refco's Resp. Request for Clarification at 3).
FDIC denies Refco's allegations and iterates its sole motivation to comply with the February 17, 1999 Order. FDIC attaches the affidavit of Chairwoman Tahoue in which she states, on November 25, 1998, she had a telephone conversation with Sexton during which she advised him that his involvement as an adverse witness in this litigation would not be a bar to his being employed by FDIC, but that he would have to do what was necessary to recuse himself or otherwise resolve the conflict. (FDIC's Reply, Tahoue Aff. ¶ 4.) According to FDIC, it was not in possession of Sexton's December 21, 1998 letter to Refco's counsel until April 8, 1999 when it was attached as an exhibit to the Refco response. In this regard, FDIC cites the affidavit of David G. Eisenstein, Senior Counsel in the Professional Liabilities Unit of FDIC's legal division, stating, on January 4, 1999, he had a telephone conversation with Sexton in which Sexton informed him of the December 21, 1998 letter and its contents, although he did not ask Sexton for a copy of the letter and did not see such copy until it was attached as an exhibit by Refco. (Id., Eisenstein Aff. ¶¶ 2-4.) According to FDIC, Refco's submissions to the court, including a written contract facially obligating Sexton to appear *1114 as an expert witness, correspondence and sworn affidavits stating that Sexton remained obligated under the agreement, and its motion to disallow any objection by FDIC to Sexton's testifying pursuant to the contract, cast doubt on Refco's position that Sexton could have reasonably believed that his December 21 letter excused him from his obligations to Refco under the contract.
The parties devote their arguments largely to whether James Sexton did or did not, as the case may be, disclose to FDIC his involvement or lack of involvement with Refco before or at the commencement of his employment with FDIC in January, 1999. The facts are muddied and it is not the role of this court to clarify them. The record before me, however, discloses no evidence that Sexton intentionally concealed from FDIC his involvement as Refco's expert in this litigation.
What FDIC seeks is clarification as to whether the February 17, 1999 Order precludes it from investigating and possibly referring to the Department of Justice, suspected violations by Sexton of government-wide disclosure statutes and corresponding criminal provisions. The Order is broadly phrased to preclude "any activity detrimental to [Sexton's] employment based upon his complying with this court's order to testify." (Transcript Hearing Feb. 17, 1999, Mot. Enable Defs.' Expert Witness to Testify, at 27-28.) Irrespective of whether there is a valid basis for the investigation of Sexton, the perpetuation of such investigation is related to these proceedings and would constitute an activity significantly detrimental to his employment as the court's expert. Similarly, the looming investigation amounts to a threat of criminal sanctions, caused at least indirectly by Mr. Sexton's appointment as this court's expert which came about due to FDIC's alleged threats to prosecute him due to his allegedly undisclosed involvement in this case.
FDIC expressly states it had referred the matter to its Inspector General for investigation before the Order entered. This is the very conduct the Order admonished in stating government regulations did not prevail over the orderly processes of this court. This case is over six years old. There has been an enormous amount of discovery and the preparation by both parties has been prodigious. The time and effort spent in enabling the expert alone is sweeping. The discovery is closed and the case is ready for trial. To excise an expert witness at this juncture in obsequious deference to a bureaucratic regulation of doubtful applicability amounts to an inexcusable preference for form over substance.
FDIC and its ethics expert are under a continuing obligation to apply to the court, rather than to take independent action. For these reasons, I grant the request for clarification and state the Order does indeed preclude FDIC from investigating, and possibly referring to the Department of Justice, any suspected violations by Sexton of any of the disclosure statutes cited in the request.
Refco's request for a criminal referral of FDIC to the United States Department of Justice is based largely on the representations of Refco's counsel that unidentified officials of the FDIC made threats to Sexton relating to his continued involvement in this litigation. Based on this limited record, I think the actions referred to are more a matter of misplaced rectitude than malevolence. Therefore, I decline to refer the matter. Accordingly, I order:
FDIC'S Superseding Motion for Leave to File, Nunc Pro Tunc, Materials Under Seal filed on March 23, 1999 is GRANTED;
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT FDIC's Request for Clarification is GRANTED: The February 17, 1999 Order precludes FDIC from investigating, and possibly referring to the Department of Justice, any suspected violations by James *1115 Sexton of any of the disclosure statutes cited in FDIC's Request for Clarification;
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT the Refco Entities' Unopposed Motion for Leave to File Reply Under Seal filed on April 27, 1999 is GRANTED;
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT the Refco Entities' Request for Criminal Referral is DENIED.
[1] According to Refco's counsel, Sexton informed him that (unidentified officials of) FDIC had threatened Sexton with criminal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. § 205, a provision of the Ethics in Government Act, which provides:
(a) Whoever, being an officer or employee of the United States in the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government or in any agency of the United States, other than in the proper discharge of his official duties
(1) acts as agent or attorney for prosecuting any claim against the United States, or receives any gratuity, or any share of or interest in any such claim, in consideration of assistance in the prosecution of such claim; or
shall be subject to [criminal] penalties....
Refco argued FDIC's reliance on this statute was misplaced as Sexton was neither an attorney nor an agent of Refco. See Kirk v. Raymark Indus., Inc. 61 F.3d 147, 164 (3d Cir. 1995) (holding an expert witness is not an agent as such witness is not subject to the control of the party by whom he has been retained). The statute was further inapplicable, according to Refco, in that it was intended to prevent federal employees from using private government information to assist persons who have claims against the United States.
[2] The Tenth Circuit has emphasized that the court, rather than the agency, is the final authority to determine the applicability of such regulations to prevent testimony by agency employees. See Sperandeo & NLRB v. Milk Drivers & Dairy Employees, 334 F.2d 381, 384 (10th Cir.1964) (denying NLRB's motion to quash a subpoena for documents or testimony on behalf of any party to any litigation, without the consent of the NLRB); see also Dean v. Veterans Administration, 151 F.R.D. 83, 84-86 (N.D.Ohio 1993) (citing Sperandeo in declining to apply an agency regulation restricting VA employees from serving as expert witnesses).
[3] I appointed Sexton as a court expert under Rule 614, which allows the court to call witnesses on its own motion or at the suggestion of a party. I deliberately chose that rule rather than Rule 706. The latter allows the court to appoint its own expert, but states: "An expert witness shall not be appointed by the court unless the witness consents to act." My order stated the costs of the court-appointed expert would be determined following the trial as to which side or whether both sides would bear the costs. Rule 706 pertinently states, "the [expert's] compensation shall be paid by the parties in such proportion and at such time as the court directs, and thereafter charged in like manner as other costs." Fed.R.Evid. 706(b). Rule 614 makes no provision for payment of a witness called by the court and so I am guided by the provisions of Rule 706.
[4] I also grant Refco's request to file its reply brief in respect of the motion for referral under seal.
[5] Referral of cases. The head of each agency, each Secretary concerned, or the Director of the Office of Government Ethics, as appropriate, shall refer to the Attorney General the name of any individual when there is reasonable cause to believe that such individual has willfully failed to file a public report or information required on such report, or has willfully falsified any information (public or confidential) required to be reported under this part.
(b) Civil action. The Attorney General may bring a civil action in any appropriate United States district court against any individual who knowingly and willfully falsifies or who knowingly and willfully fails to file or report any information required by filers of public reports under subpart B of this part. The court in which the action is brought may assess against the individual a civil penalty in any amount, not to exceed $10,000, as provided by section 104 of the Act.
(c) Criminal action. An individual may also be prosecuted under criminal statutes for supplying false information on any financial disclosure report.
(d) Administrative remedies. The President, the Vice President, the Director of the Office of Government Ethics, the Secretary concerned, the head of each agency, and the Office of Personnel Management may take appropriate personnel or other action in accordance with applicable law or regulation against any individual for failing to file public or confidential reports required by this part, for filing such reports late, or for falsifying or failing to report required information. This may include adverse action under 5 C.F.R. part 752, if applicable. 5 C.F.R. § 2634.701 (1998). |

en | N/A | N/A | Anyway, my card was made with this funky set from Wordsworth. While that is neither the cutest nor most realistic bird I've ever seen, it fits. To make the card I sponged some ink on white cardstock using the cloud stencil I came across last weekend. All of the other elements were stamped on separate paper, cut out and glued to the background. To make the grass, I randomly snipped along the paper's edge. The "leaves" were cut using 13/16 and 1-inch circle punches. All but two of the smaller ones were attached to the card with foam mounting tape.
I got quite a bit accomplished after my post last night. Although I have a long way to go, my corner is looking much better. I slept better last night, too, which means I'm a little perkier today. I hope you have a wonderful day. I'm off to prepare my stamp club that was postponed last week. Take care, and thanks for stopping by!

en | N/A | N/A | I’m trying to imagine the wave of outrage that’d ensue if someone were to observe a black man mouthing off to a bunch of “white supremacists”, and getting pummeled for his troubles, and say “well, he kind of had it coming”.
Or a Jew, after getting lippy with some Nazis, “kinda brought it on himself”.
So it was interesting listening to NPR host Al Letzen – of “The Reveal”, which is one of NPR’s attempts to package African-American-sounding voices into a package palatable for the virtue-signaling “progressive” whites that are NPR’s audience. Letzen found some fame outside the NPR echo chamber a few years ago for rescuing someone who was being pummeled by some more of those virtue-signalilng progressive white guys in “Anti”-Fa.
Not nearly as interesting as his statement “brought it on himself”.
Let’s recap that; free, hateful, obnoxious speech “dservers” a group beat-down by a bunch of cowardly rich kids playing commie thug? |
en | N/A | N/A | Gregory Barker: Domestic waste constitutes just 9 per cent. of UK waste. The largest single element is construction waste, just half of which is recycled. That compares very disfavourably with, for example, the Netherlands and Denmark, where they recycle about 80 per cent. of their construction waste. What plans do the Government have to encourag, specifically, the 20 per cent. of construction waste that is delivered to building sites and never used?Do the Government's plans include a commitment to formal targets and do they intend to place standards on the building industry?
One thing from paragraph 7.6 puzzles me: why is it that the "Water Framework Directive" is going to be merged with the "Hazardous Waste Directive?" Surely that should be the waste framework directive rather than the "Water Framework Directive"?
Mr. Bradshaw: Will the hon. Gentleman give me that reference again?
Mr. Goodwill: The UK Government raised a number of concerns about subsidiarity problems and the erosion of national sovereignty regarding the way that some of the regulations are to be implemented. How far do those subsidiarity concerns affect the UK, Malta, Cyprus and to a lesser extent the Republic of Ireland?Do other member states see such concerns as less important when it comes to building a qualified majority, given that such states may have common borders with others and therefore the possibility of more cross-border trade in both waste and recycled products?
Gregory Barker: The EU strategy asks each countcreation, and countries such as Denmark have been successful in breaking that link. What are the principal policy tools that the Government believe will enable this country to replicate Denmark?
which has happened in Germany?
Mr. Jackson: In view of his former remarks, I am full of admiration for the Minister's commitment to his portfolio. Let me bring him back to aluminium cans. As he will know, the UK recycles some 41 per cent. of its aluminium cans. That is less than in many places in Europe. What is the Government's policy on that, and should we be doing more to encourage that specific form of recycling?
Gregory Barker: The EU strategy wants greater transparency and the enforcement of member states' waste policies. In the UK, fly-tipping is a particularly serious problem. With the decreasing frequency of collections around the country, as more councils switch to fortnightly collection, it has the potential to increase further. How do the Government propose to tackle an increase in fly-tipping?
Mr. Goodwill: The Minister briefly mentioned the vexed problem of plastics. It is interesting that there is no directive on plastics, although they make up a large part of electronic equipment and vehicles. We have directives on things like ces which can be incorporated in plastics. How does the Minister think we can best try to recycle plastics? |

Beautiful!! Worth the wait!!!!
in the midsummer, when i usually arrive in lapland’s nightless night, this consolida (i’ve heard they are very near relatives of your beautiful larkspur) is just in blossom. my true antidotes over there are the clean air of the taiga/tundra (full of scents of wild rosemary), cloudberries and these great blue spots in front of my cottage.
Ok, Ok. I must now ask. Tell please of the butterflies of your Lapland taiga? Have you photographed them? Admission: I have never seen taiga, though I’ve read of it so often recently . . . .
i have seen (only once) the tundra bluewing, peacock butterflies and admirals. i just read one finds many different kinds of nymphalidae, epirrita autumnata, limenitis populi, argynnis paphia. and i’m so sorry to say i have almost no images of them, but my interest is growing…let’s see in the autumn time, when i’ll be back in switzerland.
Lovely post! I’m looking forward to springtime too. I’m enjoying the birds on this cold day, but oh how the butterflies do shape my heart and of course, the pretty blooms they visit. </s> Thanks to the size of N scale, he was able to display it on a tabletop at the show, which is something you couldn't do very easily in a bigger gauge.

This week I received the following letter as an affiliate on Amazon...when I followed the instructions and reviewed my list of websites, I don't have Wizzley included as one of them...they want the top level url of any of my blogs that have Amazon ads on them...should I be adding Wizzley? I guess I'm asking because they say none of their banners and ads should be on blogs directed at anyone age 13 and under...I know the site isn't directed at that age only, but what if individual pages on the site are? I'm guessing it doesn't matter, but want reassurance, and to know whether I should add to my list of blogs.

en | N/A | N/A | A PROMISING EXCHANGE!??
Z: Nicole, what was the main thing that changed your mind….? I’d really like to know. Glad to hear this!
NICOLE: I guess it was a myriad of things. But mainly seeing these mayors of Portland, Seattle and the like sit back and do nothing while leftists destroy. Critizing Trump for sending federal officers to try and take back control of a city they lost. Its sickening. I’m still not a huge fan of Trump but he hasn’t done that bad of a job so far. And there are still issues where I fall on the liberal side of things. For instance state, however I’m more willing now to research candidates and really get to know how the feel about certain things instead of just voting Democrat without thinking.
Z: Can I just say one more thing before you start thinking “Oh, man, she’s stalking me!” HAA!! Watch a little FOX from time to time, then watch CNN. FOX has about 15 very Democrat contributors on all day talking the points with the Conservatives there and it makes a more interesting experience..not so much on weekends but shows like THE FIVE and OUTNUMBERED on weekdays are really good. I have seen nothing but COVID on CNN in weeks, they haven’t covered the protest violence!, but they call FOX biased even though we have a chance to see both sides exhibited and they haven’t had more than 2 Republicans a month on CNN in a few years. Just a thought!! I’m done….have a great day, Nicole!
NICOLE: I know those shows. I’ve never watched a whole show but I’ve seen quite a few clips on YouTube. I dont watch much actual TV, but I do follow a bunch of people and channels on YouTube that tend to keep me informed. Thats another thing that helped change my mind. My boyfriend watches clips of Ben Shapiro and Candance Owens and others and I would see it and think to myself “hey these people make a lot more sense than what I’m used to seeing.” You have a great day too!!

Ed, I think she’s ‘there’, thankfully. And I think the boyfriend’s a big help.
Yup, Nicole…A LOT MORE SENSE.
burn, Portland, burn…….
WOWZIR…just happened upon this on Facebook……………more and more……….enough?
Nicole, welcome to the real world. We all give you credit for thinking logically and using common sense. And thank you Z, for posting an upper. We all need it during this time!
ALSO: It looks like they’re working on implanting a micro chip in everyones wrist. If this indeed comes to pass, we need to reject it (the mark of The Beast from the Bible).
THEY’RE DEFUNDING OUR SAFETY…DO YOU WANT THAT??
So, how are Americans to feel seeing our safety defunded? We SHOULD be running to the party which has tried to DO something. They haven’t done enough, but….at least they’ve done something….
Yes, I’m surely not for this microchip thing….but I don’t think most people are.
Karen Whitsett, a Dem in Detroit who thanked Trump for HCQ was targeted in the primary by Whitmer, et al.
When I last talked to her, she said we agreed on a lot more than I would suspect.
Z, I saw a video this a.m. where the guy said new babies have been implanted with chips. I sure hope he is wrong. Theres a lot of (mis)information out there so hard to tell, but we should all be on our guard.
MAL, I’d be REALLY surprised if that’s the case…..no way. But good to know these rumors are already spreading…..it’s probably a far rightwing beginning of threats to the chips….this stuff is typical.
While I haven’t heard Mal’s particular rumor, I’m sure firms like this – https://biohax.tech/ – will be keen to expand their markets. “Security” is a great shield for the instillation of fear, and the expansion of business and busybody-ism.
Baysider…did you see the newspapers under the ad? New York Times, Globe, WaPost, etc..ALL LEFT. They will LOVE a chip.
Rightwingers are smarter and get why we shouldn’t have them……..And the far right will start the whining first…as I suggest above. (which I’m not always FOR because it makes them look like idiots and the Left can’t separate the FAR NUT RIGHTWINGERS and RIGHTWINGERS though they INSIST the Left is just fine, it’s CRAZED VIOLENT LEFTIES WHO AREN’T REALLY LEFT 🙂 HAAAAAAAAA!!
It’s so clear the Left just does NOT belong in PRIVACY anymore………Now our young girls who read TEEN VOGUE (I think it was?) are treated to articles about how bad PRIVATE property is…yup.
Well, those girls can start putting their money where their mouth is (or where the editor’s mouth is) with the one piece of ‘private’ property they are capable of alienating: their cell phone.
Baysider, so true…the article meant real estate property, but yes….cells could very well be next. And why NOT?!
I fear they will simply be “Summer” Gopers… after they move to a State they feel safe and sound in, love the tax polices, the low cost housing, then sooner or later their progressive virus that they brought with them that had been dormant will erupt in full measure.. They will have forgotten whiy they moved. Watch the local elections go first… that is where they start…. that is the “tell”. Been there and chased out from my 7th generation homestead.
And a friend just sent me this link…………I can’t watch most of it…I don’t need it. I have enough junk going on!!
Like the videos. The walkaway video shows most college degrees are Bachelors in Anger. Not just her, but her friends’ reaction to her changing. Good for her!! Thank God for Owens, Kirk, Prager, et al.
AI one on preemptive programming with robots, etc. very provocative. Interestingly, I’ve never cared for that type of movie, but he makes a good point about preparing people to allow this into their lives.
OH, my GOSH….Trump had just started his presser 5 minutes ago and, in mid sentence, he was called OUT of the press room….someone whispered to him…Trump said “OH!” and LEFT. First time anybody’s seen THAT!!!
There was an actual shooting and someone’s in hospital…I guess around the White House….so they pulled Trump to safety, I guess…obviously, it was nowhere near him but it was outside the WH and details to come. It’s the perp who’s been shot by law enforcement.
Teen Vogue promotes prostitution as a valid career….
NYPOST, a decent media source.
Kid, can you IMAGINE? Yes, sex work is REAL WORK! and PEDOPHILIA is now said to be JUST ANOTHER SEXUAL CHOICE!
And we wonder why we’re going downhill?
My street is a short one…maybe 8 houses long on two sides, a “T” intersection on each end…………nobody anywhere NEAR the street let alone her…but she’s wearing a mask!
I believe I’d rather someone was wearing a mask if they didn’t know they had the virus and sneezed anywhere near me, but….taking a walk with no one around?
Did you see Biden on his bicycle? CNN says how ‘vigorous’ he clearly is! WEARING A MASK. ON A BICYCLE……….in WIND…….not close to anybody, not inside…….they’re NUTS.
I believe breathing while wearing a mask is poisonous when you inhale your exhausted air. That can’t be good for you, so why would folks walking or driving alone wear one? Doesn’t make sense but we keep seeing them. I put ’em on as I enter a bldg and remove it as I walk out, mainly so I can take off or put on my sun glasses. I wear hearing aids with loops hat go over the ear and its too many things up there if you have all 3 on at the same time.
They’ve gained a lot of ground since Barry was elected Z. It’s like a feeding frenzy now of tyranny, sexual perversion and general lawlessness. The mask is BS. I’ll wear one the 20 seconds it takes me to walk into the restaurant and sit down then take it off – as a courtesy to the employees. Yea, I’ve seen women driving in their car by themself with the windows up and a useless mask on.
I hear some talking about goggles. That’s not gonna happen, they’ll have to arrest me.
TRUMP RIGHT NOW IS DOING A FABULOUS JOB in his presser….tough questions, he’s staying CALM, informative, and kind…………..and talking about what he’s been doing…opening eyes of the media in the room?? Probably not, but helpful to us viewers.
MASK WEARING out to be RARE….outside the house to protect others, as KID said, MAL is right, you can be ill from wearing one but you’d practically have to wear it for HOURS to have it react like that….
KID, the very idea of wearing it in the car cracks me UP! I can’t WAIT to get it off when I leave a building, etc.!!!
KID, totally agreed on Obama…it all started with HIM. I often say that the race situation going SOUTH started on the front porch of Prof Henry Gates’ home. WHo the HECK informed Obama that cops had come to ask what the Black prof was doing at that front door? WHY …? And Obama SO QUICKLY slammed the white cops….and he was DEAD WRONG!
But soon we had Ferguson, Baltimore, you name it………………..Barack.
I HAVE VERY RARELY HEARD TRUMP SPEAK SO WELL………..INFORMED SO WELL.
iT’S SO GOOD A PERFORMANCE THE MEDIA’S ACTING RATHER MEEK and RESPECTFUL (SHOCK!)!!!
The media in the press room even thanked him for coming back after the Sec Service whisked him into the Oval Office for safety!!!
You know, Z, I believe he turns it on and off at will. When we see him talking to dignitaries from other countries he has a whole different demeanor, doesn’t he? Like I’ve said before, he is comfortable dining with dignitaries or sitting on an I-beam at a construction site eating a Big Mac wearing a hard hat.
Mal, NO, I don’t think that’s it. I think he’s calmer because someone has come together and he can’t expose it yet. He’s INSIDE calmer; it’s not a behavior thing depending on dignitaries or construction workers. This is something different.
I think he’s actually listening to his new Campaign Director….we can only HOPE.
Could be you’re right, Z. We all certainly hope he is listening to ’em! |

en | N/A | N/A | Fort McMurray firefighter’s desperate attempt to save his brother’s house captured in dramatic photo
Mel Angelstad knew this was no ordinary fire. And he knew that for Jamie Germain, this was no ordinary house. The two-storey residence belonged to Jamie’s twin brother, Scott — an acting captain in the Fort McMurray fire department who was pushing back against the flames two streets away.

Jamie Germain took off his jacket, dropped to his knees and trained his hose on the smoking remains of a Fort McMurray home. From the driveway, he could see the top floor had collapsed into the basement and ash-dusted embers still glowed underneath.
Behind him, his partner Germain, this was no ordinary house.
Looking from his fire truck at the extraordinary scene before him, Angelstad knew he would carry the image the rest of his life.
“I knew I wouldn’t forget what happened there,” he told the Star. “.”
So Angelstad pulled out his iPhone to capture a moment shared among the 20 or so Fort Mac firefighters who lost their own homes to a wildfire devouring the community, yet remarkably went on to save others and, eventually, most of the city.
Still, the astonishing connections in the tale of the northern Alberta city’s fight for survival did not end there.
When the battle came to a close, Jamie could not bring himself to call his brother, to be the voice that would tell him his house was gone.
“It killed me that I couldn’t call him and say we saved it,” he said. “I l.”
So it fell to Angelstad’s girlfriend and fellow firefighter, Rachelle Daniel, to phone Scott’s wife, Michelle, a 911 dispatcher. The call was made and suddenly, five friends’ lives were changed forever.
Life before the Fort McMurray wildfire. And life after.
Today, the Star takes an exclusive look at how the dramatic events played out for each and why some firefighters are calling Angelstad’s photograph “beautifully haunting.” Its story of love, heartbreak and heroism, helps explain why.
THE TWIN BROTHER:
JAMIE GERMAIN
It was early evening on May 4, the day after Fort McMurray’s mandatory evacuation, the day after 88,000 people were suddenly forced to pack their bags and leave.
By then, firefighters from within the city, nearby communities and oil worker camps had assembled to team-up against a wildfire that was picking off the edges of the area. It was growing, and fast. Unseasonably rainless weather had left vegetation parched, turning it into a seemingly perfect fuel for encroaching flames.
Firefighters often remark that a larger blaze is capable of creating its own unpredictable and extreme weather conditions. Wildfires, they say, hardly play fair.
An observation that 29-year-old Jamie Germain knows all too well.
The wildfire’s latest round of heavy winds, heat and clouds of smoke were slowly but steadily taking a toll on both the city’s own firefighters and their reinforcements. Among them were Suncor firefighters Germain, his best friend and co-worker Mel Angelstad, and Angelstad’s girlfriend, Nexen firefighter Rachelle Daniel.
After dousing flare-ups that were threatening a bridge, the three observed four houses engulfed in the city’s subdivision of Parsons Creek. Protected inside the cabin of an E-One Titan fire truck, they drove toward the flames for a closer look.
Germain, a Plamondon, Alta., native who has called Fort McMurray home for the past decade, knew the area well. He was also on edge, knowing his twin brother, Scott Germain, lived nearby.
“I remember I kept on telling myself, no way it’s going to be his house, no way it’s going to be his house,” Jamie said. “It’s that feeling where you don’t want something to be true but you know it is.”
As the rescue vehicle turned the corner onto Blackburn Drive, Jamie met one of his fears head on. One of the fire’s victims, a two-storey house already lit up, belonged to Scott, an acting fire captain with the Fort McMurray fire department, who was working just streets away.
Angelstad hit the house with the truck’s water turret for just 10 seconds but stopped. By then, just a shell of the home remained and with more homes at risk of catching fire, the crew couldn’t afford to waste the water.
“The whole point is to stop the whole fire, not just one fire house by house,” Jamie told the Star.
His fight against the fire now personal, he hosed down flames at other homes. Once the ferocity of the blaze died down and the area was secure, he returned to his brother’s house to fight a losing battle.
“I grabbed the hose and started spraying water,” he said. “ing.”
With the smouldering heat diminished, he removed his jacket and went on his knees while aiming a hose into the charred remains. This “little trick,” he said, takes the weight of the hose off the hands, allowing him to hold his position longer without losing strength. “So I could stay there longer,” he said.
Today, he remembers the event as a “long day that you can’t get rid of” and one of the lowest moments he endured during the city’s natural disaster, in which roughly 2,400 structures burned to the ground.
“There’s always those thoughts, that what if we could have gotten there sooner it might have been different,” he said.
“It made it more heartbreaking because I knew Scott was so close, two blocks over, but he couldn’t come over because he had a job to do.
“The fire in (Scott’s)‘Wow, Scott and his wife just lost everything.’ ”
A scalding sense of grief doesn’t make it easy for Jamie to view the photo displaying his efforts.
“How do you look at that?” he said. “But we’ll have that experience together forever, it was terrible but it happened between us.
“You”
Firefighters pull up to the home of Scott Germain, an actingle it is engulfed in flames. One of the firefighters who fought to extinguish the blaze was Germain's twin, Jamie Germain.(Mel Angelstad )
ACTING FIRE CAPTAIN:
Scott Germain, an acting fire captain in the Fort McMurray fire department, was only a couple streets away from his home the day it burned to the ground.
The raging wildfire dubbed the “beast” stampeded through his property, despite the best efforts of firefighters, including Germain’s twin brother, Jamie.
For 29-year-old Scott, the first sign of trouble came via the emergency radio in his pumper. Listening to other firefighters nearby, he learned that houses on his street, Blackburn Drive, had caught fire.
But due to the vast number of homes on the street, he assumed his home remained safe.
Moments later, the radio sparked again with chatter, this time his colleagues suggesting the fire was close to a nearby school. It wasn’t good news for Scott, whose residence is only 10 houses away.
It wasn’t long after that his wife, Michelle, received confirmation from her firefighter friend, Rachelle Daniel, who was also on the scene battling the blaze. He called the fire truck on the radio to confirm the news himself, and then called his wife.
“We cried quickly,” he said. Devastated, Germain then called his mother with tears in his eyes.
“I said, ‘Mom it’s gone, the whole house was gone,’ ” he said. “I asked her to tell my dad, a volunteer firefighter, that everything is gone.
“Tell dad that we are okay but everything is gone.”
The next day, Germain revisited the site of his former home, now reduced to a smouldering pile of ashes. Peering into the blown-out basement area, under the buckled walls and coated in dust was a gun safe. It had fallen through the floor of the couple’s master bedroom.
After prying the charred box open, Germain retrieved a .22 rifle given to him by Michelle as a wedding gift three years earlier. Engraved on it was the couple’s wedding quote — “And I thought I loved you then” based on the Brad Paisley song — and other family signatures and sayings.
Scott Germain received this rifle from his wife as a wedding gift three years ago. While the stock was burned away, the barrel remained with an engraving that said "stay safe, be careful" along with his grandfather's signature. His dad's signature and quote read "Love you always." (Supplied photo)ved as “the first big reminder that the house was gone.”
Still, he doesn’t hold anything against Jamie.
“I’ve been a firefighter for 10 years so know better than a lot of people that fires are so crazy and at the end of the day you can do everything but it’s still not enough,” he said. “By no means am I upset that Jamie wasn’t able to save it.
“”
MEL ANGELSTAD
He captured a single moment which will stay with him for a lifetime. It also had an impact on the family he and his colleagues fought to protect.
Mel Angelstad, 44, along with his firefighting girlfriend Rachelle Daniel, 31, hold a special place in their hearts for Scott Germain, his wife, Michelle, and his twin brother, Jamie.
The couples are good friends and have gone on several vacations together. “I played poker there all the time” said Angelstad, referring to the Germains’ Blackburn Drive home before it was destroyed by flames.
The fire crew approached the row of burning houses, including the Germains’ residence, with a defensive attack play in mind. Angelstad set the pumper’s turret to a “high-low” setting and started to spray the structures in a washing motion, so those attacking the flames from the street could see the home through the flames.
“My first reaction is, no way it’s (Scott’s) house. You know, denial, and then anger, and then remorse,” he said. “But I was also thinking to myself we have to stop the burn here or we are going to lose the whole row of 40 houses.
“We had to contain it.”
Once the area was controlled, Angelstad noticed Jamie, his best friend, kneeling down in the driveway leading up to his brother’s home. Angelstad said his co-worker was staring at the rubble in such a way as if he wanted to “reverse time” and prevent its destruction from happening.
“It was a personal moment for us,” he said. “Thedn’t give up.”
This attitude, Angelstad explained, exemplifies what it means to be a firefighter. Retrieving his phone from the dash of the pumper, he slowly walked up behind him and took a picture of the heartbreaking scene.
“I could see the feeling Jamie was having . . .,” he said of his friend kneeling before the ashes.
“dn’”
Angelstad, a seasoned firefighter of six years who had a short stint in the NHL, said he felt bad for Jamie but also proud of him, too.
“I told him, ‘You know Jamie I’m sowe’ll think about this after,” he said. “We have to keep safe and keep tackling the fire.”“some people need to know what happened out there.”
RACHELLE DANIEL
Rachelle Daniel, a seasoned firefighter of eight years, was handed the grim task of telling one of her closest friends that they no longer had a home to return to.
In front of her was an “unbelievable” scene of four houses, side-by-side, all shrouded in flames so high they reached past the tops of trees behind them. Flanked by infernos on either side, in the middle, was Scott Germain’s home.
“It was like being in hell,” said 31-year-old Daniel, who is based south of Fort McMurray. Approaching the destruction, the fire’s heat hit her as if she had just opened an oven door.
“You want to try to do everything you can to save their house or at least something in there but at the same time, you knew it was fully involved,” she said.
The team made the decision to suppress the fire’s reach in order to protect the area’s remaining homes.
Tasked with operating the pumper, Mel Angelstad asked Scott’s twin, Jamie twice to call his brother and let him know his house was gone.
But seeing that his best friend was still stunned in disbelief over what had happened, Angelstad turned to Daniel, his girlfriend, to call Scott’s wife, Michelle Germain, and break the bad news to her instead.
“I could honestly say I didn’t want to but that it had to be done,” said Daniel. Michelle Germain, a 911 dispatcher, was one of her closest friends.
The phone rang. Michelle, who was at work, picked up.
“I told her we are on Blackburn Drive and we just came up to your house and it’s on fire,” said Daniel, hearing a soft “uh-huh” on the other end of the line.
“”
Michelle, reduced to tears, thanked her for calling. “I said I love you and talk to you soon,” Daniel said, ending the call shortly after. More than a week later, she’s still able to recite the conversation word for word.
MICHELLE GERMAIN

More than a week after 911 dispatcher Michelle Germain’s home was reduced to charred ruins, the 28-year-old acknowledges she still has a “hard time” looking at the picture of her brother-in-law Jamie kneeling on the driveway, fire hose pointing to where she used to live.
“That picture symbolizes everything we stand for, as families and unified brotherhood. We’re all one team,” she told the Star. “We are all closer now than ever, characters through chaos.
“When.”
While the Fort McMurray fire may have led to the destruction of her home, along with many others, it also brought a community and its emergency responders together, a possible silver lining in a veil of dust and ash.
“This is still our home and the Fort McMurray Fire Department is our family,” she said.
She first learned of her home’s demise — as did her husband, Scott — through the city’s emergency radio system. Firefighters on the ground had radioed in to say the street they lived on, Blackburn Drive, “had lit up.” Within minutes, her cellphone rang. On the other end of the line was firefighter and close friend Rachelle Daniel, who said “she was so sorry” that her home for the past three years was engulfed in flames.
Michelle then communicated back and forth with Scott, an acting captain in the local fire department, who eventually was able to confirm the news.
“We had a cry quickly and said it is what it is and we still had a job to do,” she said.
Despite the fire wrecking havoc on the city, she explained, the city’s 911 network remained operational the entire time, even when dispatchers were forced to go mobile.
Germain also recalled the emotional conversation of telling her parents that her home was no longer standing.
“It took everyone by surprise but we knew that was a reality,” she said.
On Friday, the Germains drove to Scott’s hometown of Plamondon, Alta., to spend some of their first days off visiting Scott’s parents and brother Jamie Germain. Taking a few days off from work, she said, has allowed her to “think,” piece together what’s left and plan the next steps of her life.
“I was thinking about taking pictures of something and then I remembered, oh, I don’t have a camera anymore,” she said. Nevertheless, like many firefighters and their families the Star spoke with, the Germains aren’t planning to rebuild in anywhere but Fort McMurray. |

The reason that all the oldest and most distant stars are red shifted is because at the time of light emission......

I am in such a good mood.
has FINALLY left my home again.
It feels soooo good. I just cannot tell you how good it feels.
I have been craving to eat ever since last Friday. I know it had to do with what
But it set up that craving for MORE!!!!
It took almost an entire week to get over it.
Susie.. so good to see you again. I am sorry to see that you had almost given up. I truly believe if you could get in here more often it would help. With the holidays here we all really need each other even more. We need to build our strength NOW so we can resist all that temptation.
My daughter just IM'ed me so I have to go call her.
I will probably return tonight. I need you guys.
Today has been pretty good as far as food goes. I really would like a burger king whopper and fries. I di find a sugar free pecan pie recipe I am going to try soon. I'll let you know how it tastes.
I am 49 married for the second time. I have a 30 year old son and three cats. I am a house wife and work as a sub at our public library. My hobby besides eating
is genealogy.
Well tats enough for now be back later.
Mary: I'm glad you decided to drop in here and join us. This is a great group and I know you will love it here. I would really be interested in how the sugar free pecan pie turns out, it's DH's favorite.
Well girls, gotta go. I will get in here more often. Funny as I look back at 4-5 weeks of doing poorly and it's been about 8 weeks since I was here daily. Do you think there's a connection?? I do!

en | N/A | N/A | As a homeschooling momma, I am always looking for new and fun books for my little ladies to read! So of course, I was thrilled to see a children's book was available for review!
"A Big Year for Lily (The Adventures of Lily Lapp)" by Mary Ann Kinsinger & Suzanne Woods Fisher is a fun and adorable read for little girls! Lily is a 9 year old who is part of an Amish family. Life on a farm is always fun for Lily, but she is not enjoying school like she usually does. This year in school, Lily has had quite a bit of trouble with mean girls and bullies. And there is a particular boy who loves to pick on her. But lucky for her, she has a Mama and a Papa who love her very much, and help her to navigate through these lessons.
"Anomaly" is set in the future after the surface of the earth was destroyed by nuclear war. There were 10 remaining scientists alive at that time, who made a new world under the surface of the Earth and called it "The State". But the Scientists thought that our old ways of life were primitive. They learned they could create "humans" on their own and genetically alter their DNA so that the Scientists alone determined their strengths and weaknesses. They completely eliminated love, anger, and many other feelings and emotions that they deemed unnecessary. That is, until Thalli was created. Now the Scientists are dealing with an anomaly. She shouldn't be able to feel love, and to feel emotions but she does. Thalli has been hiding these "anomalies" for so long, it's just a matter of time before she is found out. But what will happen when she is exposed? Her dear friend, Asta was taken away for just a slight anomaly and was annihilated for something so unimportant.
I rate this book as 5 stars Luminary will be available July 2014.
"" by Zach Hunter is an excellent book for today's generation of young people. The Chivalry Zach Hunter is talking about is not your typical chivalry. This is not about holding doors open for women or even being a gentleman. It has more to do with what we as Christians can do to be chivalrous in an unjust and uncaring world. To be an honorable generation.
This book is divided into ten "codes" of honor that are based on some of the same codes of honor the knights followed back in previous generations. Hunter encourages readers to follow those codes which exhibit self control, honoring life, and more.
There is no study guide included in this book, but there is one available online. Also, I k which shares "How to's" to help implement the codes of honor you have just learnedink it's a fantastic read for someone who is trying to find their place in this world, or even in their church. It would also be an excellent book to use for a Bible study or college age small group.
I rate this book as 4 stars. **I received this book for free from Tyndale to give my honest unbiased opinion.**

en | N/A | N/A | First, let’s talk about the Interview Process.
Let’s go back to November 2019, when I came across a LinkedIn post about winter internships at HackerRank (Jan — July). At that time I didn’t really pay much attention to it because of my past bitter interviewing experiences. I have spent my college years building projects and contributing to open-source; not being able to talk about it at all during interviews is honestly frustrating. I don’t want to go through an interview process where the interviewers are not really interested in learning about what I know but rather focusing on what I don’t know.
Naturally, HackerRank being synonymous with Data Structures and Algorithms made me reluctant to apply! Ironically, the core requirements for SDE interns at HackerRank are development skills (though if you intend to apply for TCE positions you will have to go through rigorous DSA rounds). That’s when I sent my resume in! After the initial resume screening (which I later got to learn was done by human eyes), I had my first interview call with the CTO of HackerRank; where we discussed my past projects/internships and the tools and technologies I had worked with. After a couple of days, I had my second interview call with a Sr. Engineering Manager; the structure of the call was pretty much the same as the first one. I got a chance to showcase what I had worked on in the past as well as areas interested me.
So if you have contributed to open source before, and/or have worked on awesome personal projects, and are interested in working at HackerRank you can apply here. There aren’t any CGPA requirements and it doesn’t matter which school you attended.
After a couple more days, I received my selection call. The entire process was wrapped up within two weeks (high praise for the recruitment team) and I was ready to move to Bangalore for the next 6 months and start my internship in January!
Our interns batch was the largest HackerRank has had. Every intern batch is supposed to make an “Intern Website” and here’s what we came up with.
We were divided into teams and were assigned projects on which we were supposed to work on for the next quarter. My team worked on adding a new question type in HackerRank For Work and the candidate site (the tests you must have taken while applying for a software engineering job). Later I worked on Role Based Assessments (Projects); when I also got to write some customer emails!
First day of the internship 🎉
On the first day of the internship, we had some orientations, an office tour, and were assigned our desks with welcome notes taped on top along with some goodies :).
We were given accommodations near the office for the initial two weeks. The Internship and the New Year began with the annual Kickoff party (where we ate a lot and drank a lot, also gave a dance/singing performance 🙃).
On Fridays, we volunteered to mentor kids in the Kids Who Kode program and helped them build a simple coding game in Python for their graduation ceremony.
I also learned how to balance? walk? hover? on a hoverboard among other skills.
FYI I am not on either side of the gun 🔫
There would be frequent nerf gun battles among the interns which would result in some interns wearing helmets inside the office!
We had weekly catchups where we talked about what we worked on throughout the week, specifically what code we pushed to production. Also, there would be a mandatory feedback session where we got to complain about anything and everything at HackerRank but would mostly end up talking about food or making insane requests (someone even suggested hiring a cow for fresh milk every day)!
Now let's talk about the technicals. Some of the things I got to work with during the internship are —
React and static typing with Flow. I hadn’t worked with Flow before this.
Unit Testing with Chai, Jest, Sinon an Enzyme. Learned about mocks, stubs, and spies and snapshot testing in React.
Tinkered a bit with Ruby on Rails and rspecs.
Struggled with integrating React components inside their legacy Backbonejs codebase.
The Internship During Quarantine
The office was closed after the lockdown was announced. I personally didn’t feel working remotely being any ineffective than working in the office since we were assisted with any home setup requirements that we had.
We also had a remote hackathon (over Discord!) in June where my team worked on exploring possible WebAssembly use cases at HackerRank. It was exciting to see the engineers come up with so many amazing ideas!
In conclusion, it was a great opportunity for me and I am grateful for it, all thanks to the team at HackerRank :) I got a chance to interact and learn a whole lot from the engineers as well as my fellow interns. My internship ended in July (never thought that we would not be coming back to the office for the rest of the internship). I have joined HackerRank as SDE I. Nowadays, I am working with React and some Golang and Ruby on Rails. You can find me on LinkedIn here. |

The high fluxes, ultrashort pulse durations (reaching the attosecond time scale) and coherence properties of the beams allow for excitingly novel non-linear X-ray experiments, such as various wave-mixing schemes, multiphoton absorption and emission, stimulated processes and so on that promise to deliver unique insights.
Following the kick-off meeting (16 September 2020) and the online workshop (13-15 January 2021), we will meet again to gather the community in a workshop to update each other on the progress in various projects and further collaborations involving X-ray non-linear phenomena. This is a great opportunity for all interested scientists to engage in and inform the community, present results, and share innovative ideas for ongoing and future projects within the network. Our workshop will count on the discussion of projects to be shared with other members as introduced in the last workshop. In addition, the general progress of the field and opportunities for stimulating future steps forward shall be discussed. We believe that the challenges ahead in this field are best addressed in concerted efforts within large collaborations and the open exchange in this workshop shall optimally foster such endeavors.

en | N/A | N/A | ‘Journalism of neutrality is an illusion’ and inadequate to democracy, says professor
“I think the journalism of neutrality is an illusion and I think the journalism that that has produced has been inadequate to democracy,” said Jensen, one of conservative David Horowitz’s 101 most dangerous academics.
The journalism professor’s latest book “” is a departure for the long-time social justice activist, because his outlook has shifted dramatically as he has joined a community of faith. This move, described in detail in the book, was a surprise to his readers and former students, as he has shown indifference to religion over two decades of work against war, racism and patriarchy.
“Modern journalism, however, is often constrained by illusory notions of neutrality and objectivity and I think if journalists thought of themselves as speaking prophetically it could produce a much more engaged and quite frankly, much more important journalism.”
In “All My Bones Shake,” his sixth book, Dr. Jensen writes about truth in terms of chaos and clarity:
Whatever we might think is “the perfect,” it is not with us here. We live in the imperfect; we struggle with the chaotic. We usually think of our rational faculties as providing us with the ability to deal with the chaos of truth, to provide the order we need to live in a complex world. Conversely, our emotions are seen as a source of even greater chaos, an aspect of ourselves that is generally out of control. I want to argue just the opposite: The chaos of truth is a product of the rational, and whatever clarity of truth we can achieve is produced not in our minds but in our hearts.
Coupled with the specter of a crumbling newspaper industry, Jensen’s ideas have led him to begin rethinking the approach of the modern academy toward journalism instruction. Last year, he proposed a new mission statement to his faculty colleagues at UT-Austin last fall.
Only a handful were willing to endorse such a mission.
“In a way I think the failure of the corporate commercial business model is not just a tragedy, it’s also an opportunity to recognize that the journalism produced out of that corporate commercial model has never really served the democratic ideals of the society,” he told Raw Story. “The most painful example of this, of course, is the run-up to the Iraq War, where dozens, probably hundreds, of journalists were covering the Bush administration and Congress as that war unfolded, and yet none of that journalism helped inform the public in a meaningful way.”
He demolished media myths about war, propaganda and militarism in his third book “Citizens of the Empire” in 2004.
“Obviously journalism as an industry is in free fall,” he said, his desk buried in texts. “The business model of corporate commercial news is crumbling around us. There’s no obvious model to replace it in a society that is hesitant to supply public support for much of anything. So in this failure in the business model, we also have the possibility of something coming out of that that’s potentially much more productive.”

I'll make some modifications to our documentation to explain this so anyone using PH5 for nodes doesn't get confused when they look at the output from ph5_ocalized number formats in Expo?
username_0: Our app needs to use localized number formats for input and output.
E.g. 1,000.00 vs 1.000,00
[This solution](https://stackoverflow.com/a/56243866/152711) works in RN, but only with react-native-localize. Is this not possible in Expo? It would seem like quite a strong limitation.
For questions like these (basically anything but a bug reports), y

username_0: As a general security practice, processes should run as a user without root privileges. [CVE-2019-5736](https://blog.dragonsector.pl/2019/02/cve-2019-5736-escape-from-docker-and.html) is a recent vulnerability that enabled gaining root on the host server, one of the mitigations was as simple as "don't run as root".
Extends on #11ilar(text(blah blah))
username_0: We love the `similar()` operator but right now one cannot apply it directly to some input text, rather SOLR executes the inner query and then applies its magic to the list of documents returned by it.
It would be nice to allow users to directly enter relevant text as-is and have similar() use that as the input for its algorithm. So something like: `similar(text(foo bar))`. It would be nice to allow the content inside of `text()` to be interpreted as free text, rather than search tokens, which means disabling the normal parsing of that input. Doing otherwise would force users to remove things such as "and"s, commas, parenthesis, and insert "or"s between any two strings, making the whole thing not a updates (Sappers + Svelte 3)
Just thought I'd share my experience with Sapper + TypeScript.
I have a monorepo with various "packages", and one of them is a Sapper app that I've mostly converted to TS with the help of some repos and issues from here. Thank you all for your efforts! I plan to share this monorepo boilerplate once it's more presentable than it is now :)
Only a few things stand out for me, that I'll summarize here for others who may want to adopt it too:
- the new `mjs` generated modules into `./src/node_modules/@sapper` are impossible to import with TS for the momen442, TLDR: As far as I can tell at the moment it is not certain how Node will proceed with `mjs` therefore TS is still unsure how to proceed too. Workrounds involve other dependencies that i'd like to avoid.
- sapper build/dev config expects entry points in `.js` so you have to keep `client.js`, `server.js` and `service-worker.js`, it would be nice if we could configure this, or sapper accept one or the other.
- you need to configure rollup/webback to include a `typescript` plugin, e.g. `rollup-plugin-typescript2`
- you can't use `<script lang="ts">` on `*.svelte` components, for the moment, mostly because of point 1 here.
So far so good, and I'm really enjoying the sapper/svelte world, IMO is much more readable/understandable overall than most other frameworks out there.
<issue_comment>username_1: Try [`svelte-preprocess`](https://github.com/kaisermann/svelte-preprocess) or [`svelte-ts-preprocess`](https://github.com/PaulMaly/svelte-ts-preprocess)
They didn't work in my case but maybe you can get them to work
Still works tho, which is odd, not sure why it appended the tslib import to the `server.ts`, but I'm actually keener on the preprocess, will have to test that later.
Thanks for the input, much obliged.

en | N/A | N/A | This is but one example of why it is so important to obtain a fee insurance policy. In today's world where many Americans are in the U.S. armed forces overseas fighting the war on terror, where people live great distances from the properties they own, and with thieves who are willing to assume the real owners identity and sell the property to an innocent third party, title insurance is necessary to protect yourself. We have liability insurance policies for our cars, homes and businesses to protect us. The same desire – the same need – is why a purchaser must obtain fee insurance, because, without it, one runs the risk of losing their investment or, at the very least, of incurring legal fees and costs to establish it. One might say that a person who purchases real property and does not purchase a fee insurance policy is "penny wise and pound foolish." |

It seemed to start when the ACU declared Trump “an American patriot” and announced he was addressing the 2013 conference of the ACU-. That same year, his Donald J.

Now, with Trump sounding like a member of Code Pink or International A.N.S.W.E.R, the far-left must be amazed at how the political conflict is turning out in their favor, even on the Republican side. The GOP is in turmoil, partly as a result of Trump’s carefully cultivated but phony image as a conservative, with the groundwork having been laid through financial contributions to the ACU and appearances at CPAC.

The union has also formally charged management with inserting non-union contract workers into the bargaining unit in order to weaken union bargaining power.
Last May, Mondelez told the union it would invest in new lines in North America but had not, it claimed, decided whether the investment would go to Salinas in Mexico or to Chicago. Mondelez told BCTGM representatives the 600 union jobs in Chicago would be eliminated if the new lines were installed in Mexico, and that even if Chicago BCTGM members agreed to USD 46 million in annual savings the company would still eliminate 255 of their jobs.

en | N/A | N/A | For a business to continually thrive, not only that it needs to have certain commercial services, but electrical services as well. Good if you have a 24 hour electrician available at your call, but it would be better if you can be proactive in looking out for signs that indicate predecessors of emergencies.
Here are the following indications that suggest you call an electrician Australia immediately.
One can say that a circuit breaker is tripping if there are damages in the fixture, electrical overload or loosened wiring. If you think your office is suffering from recurring tripping even after you have reset the fixture, consider having an electrician to identify the issue.
If you feel that the surface of your office switches or outlets are warm or you notice marks of discolouration around the electrical outlets, then consider it as a red flag. This change in the colour, generally with the surfaces turning dark brown or black, indicates existing electrical issues.
Great if you had your business built up in a newly established commercial building, but how about those that are in many-decades old? The case would be that the electrics are deteriorated which may become the source of electrical faults if unattended. Have your office be completely checked by a professional electrician Australia who will give you a report of the current status of the building.
Let’s say you’ve grown your business and that you are already making heaps of profits that it needs expansion, thus renovation. Remodelling your working space may require you to do a lot of work, and one of it is making major changes in your existing electrical system. Hire a certified electrician who can do this work for you.
These are just some of the signals that hints you to immediately call for electricians. Should you have something to add to our list, comment down below! |

There was a part that discussed the focus on youth in games and the fact that video games allow you to remain in a child-like world even as you develop into an adult. This sparked my memory of an article that I read in Vanity Fair entitled “Addicted to Cute.” While the first part of the article discusses exactly how cute is displayed in a variety of mediums throughout the United States, the discussion of Japanese “kawaii” culture on pages four and five have a connection to the article on Nintendo’s marketing technique. There is a discussion of a 10 year time lag and the creation of this kawaii culture during the postwar 1940s and 1950s. While companies like Sanrio and HelloKitty had a big influence on this, I feel as though Nintendo was a power player as well in fusing Japanese culture into American society. Not to mention that the adoption of kawaii into American culture could easily be a representation of a switch of positions with the Japanese in a much more powerful position than they were 60 years ago and the state of depression on the United States. I wonder to what extent that the family-oriented, graphically cell-shaded Nintendo video games had an influence on this? And does this perhaps a political commentary attached to it as well?

5 Planes of UX Methodology
For this project my goal was to create a mobile app that could be used by people living with mental illness or panic disorders to take control of their anxious state. As part of a larger goal, I was hopeful this would take the stigma out of mental illness, and create a safe space for it’s users.
Competitive landscape: While none of the similar apps addressed the same problem I was trying to solve with my app, there were some really cool elements from each where I drew inspiration.
Clue, a period tracking app with a very clear goal: inform the users about their own reproductive health while not being a negative gender bias. I was inspired by their use of colour, and how bold tones can create an inviting and trustworthy tool.
Headspace, is a meditation app. It’s not the first of it’s kind by any means, but their micro copy throughout the on-boarding process and animated characters makes it easy for anyone to join and to learn about meditation. After the on-boarding process is over you’re taken on a zen-like journey through all the features of the app. With full transparency of the app features and everything it has to offer, it is never presented in an overwhelming way.
Through user research, I found the users of Calm-Mute would want this product to include 3 important features:
Easy to use in time of panic.
Something that doesn’t look too medical.
In order to put the user first and to test my ideas with them, I created a persona, to better understand their everyday and pain points using the TTC.
A student at UofT, a volunteer at a animal shelter and with a part time retail job, Margot relies heavily on TTC to get about on time. Margot has PTSD, as well as panic disorder and avoids taking the subway as much as possible due to panic attacks being triggered at any time. When an attack occurs, Margot loses vision, feels alone and scared and has to take the rest of the day off to rest before she can feel like herself again.
Arrive at every commitment on time, and in a calm ready-to-go state.
To use all modes of transportation TTC provides.
Not to draw attention to herself in time of crises.
Help silencing the outside world.
After collecting my users requirements, gathering features, obtaining directives, and establishing user goals it was time to put together my findings.
In the Structure and Skeleton planes I used my collection of data to better inform, information architecture, paper prototypes, and wire-frames.
I knew everything had to be large on this experience, because if Margot loses her vision how will she follow along with something on her phone screen. Icons and font are large and clear for clarity and ease of use. In the image below you can see the wire frames for the breathing exercise. I explored the idea of a circle in the middle of the screen that would bigger and smaller as your lungs do when you inhale and exhale. This way the user can follow along and focus on the circle and help silence the outside world.
I realized that there needed to be some sort of countdown, to notify the user that the breathing exercise was about to start. This countdown had to be very calm, and recognizable. Numbers or beeps seemed too alarming. Keeping with the movement of the circle, I diverged my thinking into waves. If straight horizontal lines are calming in interior design, I could take that idea and start off with very curvy waves for the number 3, into a medium curve for the number 2, and a straight line for number 1.
Paper prototype to walk through the experience with a user, to get a sense of what the user wants to click and what the expect of the interface.
I found it really useful to draw out all of my ideas into a series of small wire frames. This gave me a buffet of elements, I chose the ones I thought were the best and put them together.
My overall design goal was to create a calm and inviting space for my users. This can be found in the colour palate I chose, to the kerning in header treatments. I also continued that thought into the natural language form, assisting them in the diary process instead of giving them a blank screen to write out their feelings.
I thought blue would be trusting, while the white and dark grey seems inviting and less clinically serious. A subtle pop of colour with a darker teal for a call to action. This guides the user through the app to their calendar where the app learns from the user, and the user from the app.
For typography I chose two fonts that are pretty understated yet have a lot of soft rounded edges - Open Sans and Roboto. Paired with predominant kerning, the fonts create a sense of breath in the headlines and eases the user into their exercises.
Round edges are parallel in the large iconography as well. It was important for the icons to be large and recognizable so in a moment of crisis the user can easily navigate through the app.
From my persona development I learned how important it would be to the user to have a positive affirmation section. These very special features will pop up at random as the user completes breathing exercises or when they add journal entries.
I noticed in uploading my designs to InVision, that I wasn’t helping my user end the exercises or really go back to the home screen. So I’d add an icon to assist with that.
The positive affirmation screens are so special and should be rewarding. They would show up when the user isn’t in crises so this would allow for a little more colour and excitement. I was on the cusp of that idea with the much larger text, and introducing capital letters but I see where I feel short a bit.
On the calendar screen, I’d add little numbers in the circles so the user can tell what day they’re clicking on.
If I had more time, I’d prototype out my animations in Framer to show better how the app lives and breathes with the user. |

Pioneering writer broke down walls for women
Covered skiing and motor sports for the New York Herald Tribune
McCluggage, a pioneering auto writer, sports writer, photographer and race car driver, was decades ahead of her time when she broke down barriers to women in the 1950s, and she remained a source of grace and inspiration to journalists of all genders a half century later.
I had the honor of knowing Denise slightly. It was always a pleasure to share a table with her at dinner. She shifted effortlessly from tales of her first-hand experiences with legendary figures to graciously listening to rookies and newcomers to the business.
Denise lived a very public life – she was a guest on the celebrated TV show "To Tell the Truth" in 1959, and she socialized with giants of entertainment, sports and journalism. Auto writer Jean Jennings quotes Denise saying that her friend, jazz great Miles Davis, bought a Ferrari because he liked the sound of the car's horn.

The archivists were particularly interested in one Irishman, James Spratt, who was born in Mitchelstown, Co Cork, in 1771. He is one of the few survivors of Trafalgar who was photographed when the age of photography began in the 1830s. He had also taken part in another of Nelson’s victories at the 1801 Battle of Copenhagen.
“It was not the case of the press gang. These men were clearly volunteers. They clearly saw the navy as a career... You’ll always see a disproportionate number coming from coastal areas, of whom many were from Ireland.”
The research shows that 10 per cent of Nelson’s navy were from outside the UK as it was then, including Frenchmen and Spaniards fighting against their own countries.

This contest is being presented to the public to allow everyone a voice in saying how 600 acres of pristine marshes, wetlands and woods located on the Cape Fear River can be used instead of an international container port.
NO PORT Southport NC, Inc. 08 with the sole purpose of stopping the proposed port at Southport. We are a non-profit 501(c)3 entity. Our Steering Committee consists of professionals with backgrounds in finance, law, marketing, engineering, transportation, banking, advertising, sales and business management. Included are academic and medical doctors and retired military officers.
After nearly a year of in-depth analysis on subjects relating to the proposed port, including environmental impacts, potential breaching of the aquifer, massive infrastructure requirements, probable decline in tourism and home values and detailed cost/benefit studies, we and other professionals concluded that this project is not a viable business venture. Since the land is under the stewardship of the state, a contest to develop alternative uses seemed appropriate.
This contest encourages creative minds to explore all possibilities for planning an alternative use of one of the largest remaining untouched coastal land areas left on the east coast. Entries will be independently judged. The winning entries will be presented to Governor Perdue. |

High pressure will begin to enter the area pushing out all this rainy stormy nonsense and bring in more stable weather to the region for most of the upcoming work week.
Today look for continued patterns of rain to last throughout most of the day. Cloudy with a high of 77 in the Highland area, cooler near the lake at 74 and warmer inland at 79. As it usually is during a pressure transition, the winds will pickup out of the northeast at 10-15 mph gusting up to 20-25 mph. Actually would not be shocked if gusts hit the 30-35 mph given the patterns in the area.
Please note that marine and beach warnings are still in effect for most of Lake Michigan that includes all the shorelines in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. Conditions on the lake are considered hazardous with winds up to 20 kts and waves upto 8 feet.

en | N/A | N/A | With Summer nearly gone, September’s a great time to prep your garden ahead of the Winter months.
Moreover, with heightened demand for outdoor space, if you’re thinking of selling this Autumn, ensuring your garden looks in tip-top conditionHere’s our top tips for getting your space primed to sell, bloom next spring and be useable all year round.
This is a great time for planting new wildlife-friendly perennials for next year, and to sow wildflower seeds. Annuals sown in the autumn tend to flower earlier the following year.
A favourite with bees, butterflies and moths, Helenium is a flowering plant that will keep your garden blooming late into the year with its orange flowers.
To keep a lawn looking lovely, it’s important to look after it all year round. Remove dead grass, moss and weeds that have built up over the summer, as leaving it could restrict air movement and cause drainage issues.
Autumn is the perfect time for planting spring bulbs. Bulbs flower in sequence, so it’s important to pay attention to flowering times to have a longer flowering season.
September is the perfect time of year to take cuttings from tender shrubs and half-hardy perennials. They’ll form a good root system more quickly before the cooler weather sets in. It will also give you the chance to increase your stock of those plants that may not make it through the winter months.
As part of a general end-of-season garden tidy, take stock of your pot collection. Broken pots and general patio clutter can build up unnoticed over the summer and both provide great places for slugs to lurk.
Providing food for birds year-round is a wonderful way to encourage them into your garden and to provide them with a secure source of food, especially over the winter months.
Now’s a good time to throw away old bird food and give your feeders a thorough clean and put them back with some fresh food.
Firepits create a nice feature in any garden and are perfect for dry autumnal evenings, meaning you’ll be able to spend much more time outdoors.
Take care when you’re making bonfires, as hedgehogs and other small animals may have snuggled down inside the piles of leaves and sticks you want to burn. The best way to keep them safe is to construct your fire just before you light it. |

It wasn't always easy for the many speakers to address the plenary session of the solidarity conference on the 24th and 25th of February. The atmosphere at the conference facility in the South African capital was fiery, and laden with activist energy. Chanting and singing filled the conference hall on several occasions and came to a climax when Morgan Tsvangirai approached the hall. The many Amandla!'s and much spontaneous singing resulted in speeches lasting longer than planned as well as a very sweaty organizing committee. Jeremy Cronin had to wait at least ten minutes before the singing crowd, happy to see him stand before them, allowed him to read out and explain the collectively drafted statement.
The conference ended in several strong commitments to concrete acts of solidarity, as can be witnessed by the conference statement (further on in the newsletter) and the ensuing agenda. The conference agreed that the focus should not only be on the March 2005 elections, but also long-term. It was further noted that these problems not only exist in Zimbabwe but elsewhere in the region but that we have to join forces to tackle the Zimbabwe crisis first. Delegates emphasised that we have to repay Zimbabwe for the respect and support it showed us during the anti-apartheid struggle as much as we would expect their help and assistance again if ever we in South Africa are faced with the ordeals Zimbabwe is now faced with. Bishop Rubin closed the conference with a poem by Freedom Nyamubaya, who had joined Mugabe's ZANLA army at the age of 15 where her first sexual experience with men was to be raped in the camp - an all-too-common experience for many women recruits in the ZANLA forces during the liberation war. And sadly today this experience is no different for the many young women in the youth militia camps.
and I only count as one.
Hey man, come with me!
The President of the Young Communists' League, David Masondo, addressed the conference. Masondo criticized the ZANU (PF) regime, saying that the history of oppression had been appropriated by Mugabe. Masondo also identified the role played by repressive legislation and violence, asking, "How can Zimbabweans resolve their own problems when the necessary conditions are not there?" "We are very critical of that stance of our government," he added.

en | N/A | N/A | Greg Sirb, Cstood outside the Sovereign Center in Reading, Pennsylvania, last Saturday night and savored the moment. Bernard Hopkins (right) was about to defendgainst Carl Daniels. If successful, it would be his fifteenth defense, breaking Carlos Monzon's record of fourteen consecutive middleweight title defenses.
Reading is an old industrial town with 80,000 residents. Victorian houses and stone churches are much in evidence, but so are signs of urban blight. Fighting back against marginalization, the community has launched an ambitious downtown redevelopment program intended to make it an economic anchor for all of Berks County. The 9,000-seat Sovereign Center is the lynch-pin of Reading's plan. Meanwhile, Hopkins-Daniels was the biggest sports event in the history of the county, and Sirb was aware of its importance.
"We do fifty fight cards a year in Pennsylvania; the most of any state in the east," Sirb said. "But we're not a gaming state, so we get very few showcase events. It's mostly club fights. But I'm going to tell you something; they're great fights. I say it all the time: If you want to see boxing, go to the casinos. If you want to see fights, come to Pennsylvania. Everyone knows about Philadelphia fighters, but some of the best fights in the world take place in Pittsburgh, Scranton, Allentown, Erie, and Reading. We don't have high rollers; we don't have beautiful people; but we have fans. In Las Vegas, people come into the arena at the last minute for the main event. Here, they're waiting outside when the doors open. The problem is, we get to see the fighters coming up but, when they reach a certain level, we can't afford them anymore. Now Bernard's fans have the opportunity to see him in the ring as champion. Not on TV; in person. This is huge for us. Anyone who wants to can buy a twenty-dollar ticket to see Bernard Hopkins fight. Think about that. It's fantastic! When's the last time anyone could pay twenty dollars and see one of the greatest fighters in the world? It's Christmas in Reading."
This was Hopkins' first fight in his home state since 1993, when he stopped Wendall Hall in three rounds. Tickets were priced from twenty to one hundred-fifty dollars. Hopkins was fighting for his legacy, but he also saw the bout as part of his ongoing quest for respect.
Bernard remembers slights; and during his career, there have been many of them. "People didn't just give me the credit I deserve," he said recently. "I forced them to give it to me."
Hopkins hasn't forgotten the photo shoot at HBO last July, when still ads and commercials were shot to advertise Trinidad-Hopkins. "I did shots for seven or eight hours," he complained later. "I was the test rat for Trinidad. I was on that little thing that goes around and around. Then Trinidad comes in, and he's out in an hour. I was pissed. But as much as I talk, I didn't say anything. Then I had to listen to Ross Greenburg saying to me, 'Bernard; if you beat Trinidad, your picture will be right there where his is.'"
Hopkins beat Trinidad. And as Larry Merchant noted, "Coming off a great victory and fighting to break a historic record, you'd expect this fight to be in a historic venue or in Bernard's hometown of Philadelphia.
" It didn't happen. Promoter Don King and HBO said they sought a venue in Philadelphia, but that all of the satisfactory sites had been previously booked. Hopkins himself told reporters, "it isn't in Philly. That's the city where I learned my trade, and I'm proud to be part of it. If I had a magic wand and could put the fight in Philly, I would."
To some, the fact that the bout was being held in Reading was a slap in the face to Hopkins. Cynics said the venue was a good longterm business move for Don King. The gate would be small, but HBO's license fee was driving the fight. And the fact that Bernard couldn't fill a moderately-sized arena at bargain prices would be a factor when everyone sat down eventually to negotiate purses for Roy Jones, Jr. versus Hopkins. Economic failure would temper Bernard's feelings of empowerment and, from King's point of view, keep his purses as close as possible to the previously-agreed-upon contractual minimum.
But on fight night, a crowd of 8,243 showed up despite the fact that not a penny was spent on local advertising. That didn't put Hopkins at the head of boxing's economic pound-for-pound ratings, but it was awfully good.
Meanwhile, as noted by Peyton Sher who has been a fixture at Don King fights for three decades, "When you have a big fight in big city, you're just part of the overall picture. But here, the whole community welcomes you and supports you. The entire community feels like this is something big."
And it was. As Saturday drew close, boxing insiders were much in evidence at the Lincoln Plaza Hotel, which served as fight headquarters. The weigh-in at the hotel was open to the public and drew a standing-room-only crowd, although women were barred. "After all," one local official explained, "the boxers have to take their pants off to make weight." The night before the bout, the hotel bar and restaurant were jammed as "fight people" mingled with local residents.
Then came the fight. And it was less a competitive bout than a performance by a brutal craftsman at work.
Carl Daniels is a good journeyman fighter, but Hopkins is a warrior of legendary proportions. Everyone understood that, to win, the challenger would have to do things he'd never done before and Bernard would have to fight badly. Neither eventuality occurred. Hopkins was exquisitely prepared as always; and Daniels was never in the fight.
"It's a street thing; it's not a Harvard thing," Hopkins has said about dominating opponents. "Once I sense that slight sliver of fear, it's over."
This one was over early. Daniels fought from round one on like a man who'd be happy to lose a non-violent twelve-round decision. All night long, it was Hopkins stalking, while the challenger threw stay-away-from-me jabs and tied up the champion whenever he moved in close. Hopkins never got frustrated. For the second fight in a row, he boxed beautifully, stayed within himself, fought foul-free, and broke his opponent down while putting round after round in the bank. This time, the left hook to the body was his money punch. In round nine, the hurt began to show. After ten rounds, Daniels told his trainer Tommy Brooks, "I have no more," and the fight was stopped. Each judge gave the champion every round. It was a dominant performance by a consummate professional against an opponent who didn't want to fight.
As for what comes next; boxing fans and HBO are hoping for a Hopkins rematch against Roy Jones, Jr., who defeated Bernard nine years ago for the vacant IBF middleweight crown. But any one of three problems could KO that bout.
The first problem is weight. Jones fights regularly at 175 pounds, and Hopkins at 160. Bernard wants Roy to meet him halfway at the super middleweight standard of 168. But Jones says that would be forcing him to enter the ring at less than his best. And he has a point. Whenlight-heavyweight crown, they didn't fight at a catch-weight. Maxim entered the ring with a 15-1/2 pound advantage. That was the difference between the two men on a night when Robinson wilted from the heat. But that's boxing.
The second problem is money. Jones says that, because he won the first Jones-Hopkins fight, he's entitled to a 60-40 purse split in his favor. Hopkins is demanding 50-50. Moreover, even if the two men can agree on percentages, the numbers to make the fight happen might not be there. Jones gets $5,000,000 a pop for fighting the likes of Glen Kelly, so he'll want close to $10,000,000 for Hopkins. And if Bernard got $2,500,000 for fighting Daniels, he'll want $6,000,000 or $7,000,000 for fighting Jones. But in the past, neither man has shown himself to be a major pay-per-view attraction. Money is the real matchmaker in boxing, and lack of funds might kill Jones-Hopkins.
And then there's problem number three. Hopkins seems to want the bout, but Jones doesn't. For all his talent, it has been years since Roy Jones, Jr. sought out the best available opposition. Roy is a great fighter, but he doesn't want to be great in the way that great fighters are asked to be.
Still, it's worth speculating on what will happen if the bout takes place. The last time they fought, each judge scored the bout 116-112 for Jones. But the last two rounds belonged to Hopkins. Roy says he hurt his hand. Bernard says that, as the fight wore on, he figured Roy out.
Jones has gotten bigger since then. Hopkins has gotten better. If they do meet again in the ring, it will be a fight.

en | N/A | N/A | OKLAHOMA CITY – Under the glow of flood lights in a late-night rush to comply with a court order, workers begancomplex Monday night.
The removal timeline was a closely guarded secret until just a few hours before construction crews began cutting into concrete and rebar at the base of the 6-foot-tall, 4,800-pound granite marker that was ordered off state property by Oklahoma’s Supreme Court. A handful of reporters were notified Monday afternoon and allowed to witness its removal.
Officials voted in September to remove the monument from the Capitol complex in response to a court ruling that its presence on public land is unconstitutional. The state had until Oct. 12 to move the display.
It will be moved to the Oklahoma Council for Public Affairs at 1401 N. Lincoln Boulevard. The state will loan the monument to OCPA, but the organization will be responsible for all costs while it resides there.
The fight over whether the granite figure could sit on state property has rankled Oklahoma politics since 2012, but the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled earlier this year that providing a space for the monument violates the Oklahoma Constitution. Some lawmakers have called for an amendment to the document, which would be voted on by the public. Others in the Republican caucus have said the Supreme Court should be impeached for their ruling.
Attorney General Scott Pruitt argued in district court that removing the Ten Commandments expressed a state-sanctioned hostility toward religion, but a judge disagreed and ordered it to come down.
Monday night’s operation happened in near-secrecy because of tensions surrounding the removal. John Estus, spokesman for the state agency charged with logistics of the move, said officials with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol were concerned about disturbances because of the highly controversial move. OHP troopers were stationed at the monument since Friday, the Associated Press reported.
Wilbert Memorials, the company that built and installed the monument, was hired to move it using a heavy crane. |
en | N/A | N/A | ACS routines can be used to determine the SMS classes and storage groups for data sets and objects in an SMS complex. For storage administrators, ACS routines automate and centralize the process of determining SMS classes and storage groups. ACS routines also help convert data sets to an SMS environment.
An object is assigned to a storage group when it is stored and remains in that storage group throughout its lifetime. The initial storage class and management class might be determined by defaults defined by an ACS routine or by explicit request. Storage class and management class assignments might be changed by the OSREQ CHANGE function or by automatic class transition. The OSREQ CHANGE request causes invocation of ACS routines that might override the requested assignments. During the automatic class transition, ACS routines are invoked to determine the new storage class and management class assignments.
When a data set is allocated, it is assigned an initial management class, storage class, and storage group by defaults defined by an ACS routine or by explicit request. These assignments can be changed through the DFSMShsm class transition processing that occurs during the automatic space management functions. During the automatic class transition, ACS routines are invoked with the ACS environment of SPMGCLTR to determine the new management class, storage class, and storage group assignments.
Writing ACS routines lists the rules for programming in the ACS language.
Tip: You can use the DFSMS NaviQuest tool to help you design and test your ACS routines. First, you can create test cases to perform extensive testing against test data representing actual data sets. Then you can test ACS routines in batch, freeing the workstation for other work. See Using NaviQuestfor further information.
Through ISMF, you can create and maintain as many as four ACS routines in an SCDS, one for each type of SMS class and one for storage groups. After you have activated an SMS configuration, SMS executes ACS routines for the following operations:
MVS data sets or z/OS® UNIX System Service (z/OS UNIX) files created by remote application through the z/OS Network File System server
As a storage administrator, you write ACS routines using the ACS programming language, a high-level programming language. The language follows a logical, procedural flow of implementation that consists mainly of filtering criteria, IF/THEN statements, and SELECT/WHEN statements. Using these relational statements, ACS routines determine SMS classes and storage groups according to allocation parameters, data set sizes, object or data set names, and other variables.
Requirements: For system-managed data sets, the storage group is required because there is no way to explicitly specify storage groups. The other routines are optional for system-managed data sets. For objects, the storage group, storage class and management class ACS routines are required. For tape, the storage group, storage class and data class ACS routines are required. |
en | N/A | N/A | How can that be? How did so many teams on so many levels pass on a guy who player since the 1976-77 merger with the ABA?
It took all those circumstances to get Lin to New York, then onto the court, which is why Smart and Minnesota director of basketball operations Rob Babcock both called it a "perfect storm."
He's been so good that the NBA added him Thursday to the roster of players for the Rising Stars Challenge at All-Star weekend. He wasn't among the original 18 players who were chosen but now will play in the Feb. 24 game of rookies and second-year players.
The Warriors liked Lin, a native of Northern California, enough to give him a two-year deal. But Smart had a high-scoring backcourt with Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry, not to mention backups Reggie Williams and Acie Law. So the Warriors got Lin into only 29 games last season while sending him to Reno for three stints in the NBA Development League.
They cut him in December when they were trying to sign center DeAndre Jordan away from the Clippers, and Lin was discouraged when he was a claimed by a Houston team that he said had six point guards in training camp. The Rockets cut him after two weeks, and though current point guard Kyle Lowry was an All-Star candidate, general manager Daryl Morey recently wrote on Twitter that he regretted giving up Lin.
"There was a guy we had in Cleveland, Shannon Brown, and he went on with the Lakers and won two or three championships and was a big-time contributor for them," Lakers coach Mike Brown said. "That's one of the first guys that comes to mind, but I'm sure there were other guys that we had that you let go and they went and had success other places."
But what makes Lin so different is that so many teams had multiple chances to grab him.
Instead, many passed on him twice in the 2010 draft. He was on the waiver wire twice in December. But teams simply hadn't seen him enough, given he played only 284 minutes in the NBA last season.
But there were indicators Lin might be ready for breakthrough in New York.
So, if nothing else, Lin's story provides a lesson to the many scouts lining up to look at all those stars from Kentucky, Syracuse, Ohio State and the other big programs.
Better not forget about the little guys.

“The joke in the family was that I came out of the womb and my mother looked at my fingers to see how quickly they could stretch into a
Rachmaninoff octave,” Golabek says. “Most likely it was predestined that I would carry on the dream that was cut short for her.”
“The Pianist of Willesden Lane,” which comes to the Paramount Center Friday through Dec. 16, is a one-woman show in which Golabek recounts how her mother, a promising pianist named Lisa Jura, escaped the Third Reich. In 1938, at her parents’ insistence, 14-year-old Lisa left her family behind and fled Vienna on the Kindertransport that brought 10,000 Jewish children to England before the outbreak of World War II.
“She would always tell me in piano lessons what my grandmother told her at the train station, the very last words,” Golabek says. “She made my mother make her a promise, to ‘hold on to your music.’ ”
The show also describes what happened next, in England, where she lived that promise through wartime bombing and deprivations.
“She grew up in this Jewish hostel with these kids as teenagers, and her music was a source of inspiration not only to her, as she survived what was probably one of the darkest periods in history, but a source of inspiration for those kids,” Golabek says. “They glommed on to it, she became a little heroine for them, they worked with her on the music . . . they kind of joined in her dream to go for it.”
‘ . . . “hold on to your music.” ’
Golabek says she heard the stories first as a girl growing up in California, as she had her daily piano lessons with her mother. “They were life lessons, of course. They were about technique and a Beethoven sonata and pianissimo and fortissimo and all those things . . . but they were really also: Who’s the music about? Who’s the composer writing for? Who’s he passionate about?” she says. “And they were about my mother’s growing-up years. We would be in a Beethoven sonata and out of nowhere she would stop and say, ‘Did I ever tell you about the time Johnny “King Kong” read poetry to me at night while the bombs came down?’ ”
“You knew what your parents had lost, even if subconsciously,” Golabek says. “There’s always this hole in your heart somewhere. You can’t save them; you can’t make it right. You just try to |
en | N/A | N/A | Home » Use Expert Sources To Generate Local Book Publicity
Do this for sources quoted in your book
When Champion Products sponsoreder of the Year Awards for the NCAA's five college divisions in the U.S., I was responsible for publicizing the award nominees in their hometown media.
To get the most publicity possible for the authentic athletic wear brand and the athletes, I used what marketers would now call a "hyper-local" approach.
I knew I had to make it instantly clear to every hometown media outlet that the press release I sent contained local news for a local audience. To do that, I created a fill-in-the-blanks press release template that I merged with a database containing relevant specifics about each athlete. All I had to do was press a few keys to produce each nominee's hometown press release.
Whether it's an expert source or a short profile in a sidebar, you can create a press release showcasing that individual's contribution and send it to their local media outlets.
To get you started, here's a sample fill-in-the-blanks press release I created for you. Because it's so generic, you'll want to make sure your resulting press release for each source reads well and makes sense, but that won't be hard.
Once you've completed each source's press release, send it to the appropriate media contacts in each community. Do this with email by copying and pasting the text into the e-mail message.
For this type of news, you'll send it to newspapers and radio stations, but not TV stations. (TV news doesn't use this type of information.)
Consider asking your source for help with the names of local media contacts. If that's not possible, you can get everything you need with an online search for local media outlets.
At each outlet, send it to:
Radio stations: Producer of morning drive-time programming or a specific talk show producer
Daily newspaper: The appropriate beat reporter or section editor, depending on the book's topic (lifestyle? religion? business? education?) and the local section editor
Weekly newspaper: Editor
Don't overlook those weekly newspapers. Weeklies are incredibly well-read in their micro-communities. They love this kind of news, too. And, because most publicists overlook them because of their small circulation, there's less competition for space.
Weeklies are also ideal in major markets where this kind of information won't get used – New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and so on. Drill down to the actual community or neighborhood your source lives in and find the weekly that serves that smaller area. (Your source can help with this.)
There's no question that this will take a little time and effort. But I have used this hyper-local approach time and time again (and won both a national and a local publicity award for a client project in the process). I know it works.
The best part? It won't cost you a thing. All you need is time.
Give it a try. Getting your book mentioned in even one newspaper – all while shining a light on your expert source – makes it worthwhile. You can't lose. |

en | N/A | N/A | Home News and announcements Gippsland firefighters and incident management teams help out
Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) forest firefighters and incident management teams have been helping at the Wye River and other fires since before Christmas.
Gippsland's Fire and Land Regional Manager, Richard Teychenne said: "Firefighting taskforces each consist of 20 crew members and so far we've sent nine Gippsland taskforces to Colac over Christmas and the new year period to help at the Wye River fires."
"Working a rotating shift, each taskforce works for five days to ensure the workload is shared and fatigue is reduced while keeping the community and each other safe. This also gives staff a chance to return home and catch up with family before their next deployment," Mr Teychenne said.
"Our firefighters have also been deployed to help with the Barnawartha fire in the north-east and we have staff supporting the recovery program after the Lancefield fire."
"Responding to a fire isn't just about the firefighters on the ground. We're also managing aircraft, mapping the fires, informing and warning communities, setting up and running base camps, feeding and accommodating everyone involved, ensuring the health and safety of our staff and plenty more."
"So we've also sent some of our Aircraft Officers, Logistics Officers, Public Information Officers, Mapping Officers, Catering Officers and Medical Unit staff to support crews and incident management teams to these fires. We've had 25 people rotating on night shifts and 44 people rotating on day shifts."
"Our firefighters have been working to protect assets, patrolling and extinguishing hot spots, assessing dangerous trees and helping residents clean up their properties. Locals have been appreciative of DELWP's assistance."
"And we've had a few fires in our own region to deal with after a series of lightning strikes sparked fires in some of our remote forest areas since December 30," Mr Teychenne said.
"Our rappel teams have been critical in responding to many of these fires and most were brought under control quickly at less than five hectares."
"We manage the risk of fires in Gippsland according to conditions here as well as supporting other regions and a contingent of forest firefighters and incident management staff always remains in the region to deal with any fires we may have here."
DELWP forest firefighters and incident management teams have been working on fires across the state since October and with current weather predictions and the drought index are expecting a busy and challenging time ahead. |

Four nonprofits that support small businesses in the Arkansas Delta have been selected to help their customers develop pandemic recovery plans.
Delta Circles, one of the nonprofits selected, works with approximately 30 small businesses and entrepreneurs in Phillips County. Delta Circles executive director Patricia Ashanti said Friday that she was not yet sure how many of these operators would join the navigators’ efforts.
“This will primarily help our improve operations in areas such as website design,” said Ashanti. “This is just getting started so our first focus is introducing our customers to all of theer. But there is a great need in our community and that effort should help.”
“These four organizations provide critical support to communities and small businesses in the Arkansas Delta,” said Laura Fine, state director of the technology development centehese companies and their executives to support colored entrepreneurs and all small businesses in the area.”
“Theoperate,” Singleton said on Friday. “The scale of small business needs has just increased in the past 12-14 months.”
“The need is so great that we wanted to find trusted partners in the Delta to make sure resources were being used so that we were responsive and not duplicative,” said Singleton.
“We don’t have the local relationships that some of the navigators have because we don’t work there every day,” Singleton said. “They are in these communities and have local knowledge and trust that we don’t have.”
“We have this expertise and relationships that can help these companies,” Singleton said. “Our role is to ensure that small businesses in these communities have access to all of the programs available to them.”
The US Small Business Administration is funding the technology development center, which is supported by college partners in Arkansas. Funding for the state agency was increased by $ 1.6 million during thehas increased the organization’s budget in Arkansas to more than $ 4 million annually.

en | N/A | N/A | ; however, the worst thing you’ll encounter is outright rod-end failure, which, of course, isn’t good.
Here’s how this small adjustment process works: In Illustration 1 on the facing page, you can see how a typical link is configured. One side is equipped with right-hand threads while the other end of the link is equipped with left-hand threads, and you can lengthen or shorten the entire link by loosening the jam nuts.
The reality is, from 2 feet away, it’s almost impossible to tell a junk rod end from a high-quality piece. The only thing you can do is examine each rod end in the same manner as you’d look at any precision piece of hardware-take a close look at the machining, examine the race, and scrutinize the ball (sphere). Are they well machined and smooth in each case? If the rod end is a non-Teflon configuration, does the ball fit inside the body precisely? Rotate the ball. Is there any bind or is it so loose it rattles? Inspect Teflon liners, and look for areas where the liner is loose, since the liner should be one continuous, tightly bonded piece. When observing the threads, they should be high-quality rolled threads, just like a good bolt or capscrew. The rod-end evidence is right there in front of you, so use it to help decide what’s hot and what’s not.
As you’ve probably come to expect, good-quality rod ends cost good money. The very best rod ends are those designed and built by way of proper engineering and then backed by rigorous research, development, and testing programs. The reality is, you’re buying a precision mechanical component, and it’s one into which you have to put your trust and safety. And, given the magnitude of tasks with which rod ends are charged, they really amount to critical mass. </s> Aain’s worst sporting disaster were “unlawfully killed.”

Bailiff warrant of control help
-) on Sunday afternoon (01/07) but he didn't answer; he then called me at 10pm Sunday evening to discuss. During this conversation he told me the vehicle in question had been clamped previously and I had cut it off, telling me that because of this the vehicle would be towed immediately if I didn't pay the outstanding balance. When I contested this and asked for info his response was along the lines of "I dunno, that's just what the system says" and refused to give any further evidence. I was pretty incensed by the accusation so told him it was utterly false (exact words) and he hung up on me, refusing to answer again. Today I called him to get the PCN number then did my relevant homework and called him back to let him know I'd submitted forms with TEC and he should hear from the issuing authority by the end of the day. I asked him to give me his full name and registration details so I could submit a complaint about his behaviour last night and he outright refused, saying he didn't have to. When I told him he was legally obligated to give me his information he got increasingly angry and doubled down. He said he would show his certificate when releasing the vehicle but would not give details to me - to which I responded by saying we both know that will never happen as he will most likely quietly remove the clamp and then be gone. I eventually gave up with no information. I checked his name on the immobilisation certificate then checked the Certified Bailiff Register and found his full name and the court / company he's registered with, so am going to submit my complaints there first. My most serious complaint is that his attempt to extort me into payment by claiming I had removed a previous clamp (let me just state - I hadn't) is a violation of The Fraud Act 2006 Section 2 and his refusal to provide any evidence for this, despite it being "on his system" is also a violation of Section 3. So my question is this: who do I report this to and how? I'm currently drafting a complaint to Hertford County Court (where MO is registered) with all of this included, but would like to take this much, much further so he never attempts this stuff again. Having never submitted any kind of criminal charges before I have no idea where to start.
-? ? Can I just ignore him completely? Any advice greatly appreciated
- Good Morning, I'm hoping for some advise on here please. I have a liability order with Rossendales for £814 and also signed a WPO/ CGA in January 2018 to agree to a payment plan of £200 per month. Originally, the amount was around £1300. I missed a payment on this and the agent over the phone told me I had to increase this amount to £300 per month or they can't help and would go to an enforcement officer.I agreed (as had no choice) on 1st June I missed the £300 payment. Today, I have a letter from Rossendales to say that no extension/ plan will be agreed and full payment now needs to be made. I called them today and she said no payment arrangement at all can be made I offered £400 on Friday and £400 the week after- this was declined. My question is, has anyone had this situation before I wanted to know how long it will take an enforcement agent/ bailiff to attend my property demanding full payment or seize the goods because it's Monday 11th today and I can have the full balance on 25th but I have no idea if I even have 2 weeks until they turn up Any advise is welcome it's all new to me and I've read through so much conflicting information. The Rossendales telephone agent had no idea either by the sounds of it TIA
- Equita today come to clamp my car outside the street. The car it's a PCO registered car (currently expired) and it has the insurance in the name of a friend (he got a business trade insurance)for more then 3 months. as I am not driving the car due to access to a company van. I keep the car as I was going to do partime Uber driving with it. Do you think sending a backdated change of logbook name to DVLA will do the trick?
- ge? Can I pay the charge by setting up a payment plan? Thanks in advance.
- decision. A full copy can be accessed from the link at the foot of the post. Background: (9) Mr B has received 5 penalty charge notices (PCN) for parking offences since 2014. A parking enforcement officer placed two on the car and Mr B received three through the post. On the telephone, Mr B told me that he did not take account of parking laws as he believes there is a law from the year 1600 that means he can’t be fined and so can park anywhere. (16) The Council has said that Mr B first used the words’ vulnerable’ about his wife and him both having Blue Badges on 3 December 2015. (17) The Council said it advised Mr B on 5 July to contact the bailiffs for them to consider his ‘vulnerability’ and for him to provide them with whatever evidence they need to confirm his status as vulnerable. The Council advised Mr B that if the bailiff did deem his to be a vulnerable household the Council would withdraw the warrant and cease activity. (18) The Council said Mr B did not supply the bailiffs with supporting evidence. It has said the blue badge issued to Mr B, shows they have met the criteria of limited mobility to have a blue badge issued but may not necessarily be vulnerable. (19) The Council says that Mr B thinks that his vulnerability means that he is exempt from paying these fines. The Council says it disagrees with Mr B’s interpretation. It considers he is still liable to pay these fines, but any vulnerability means the Council has to consider extra discretion over how these fines are paid, e.g. deferring payment periods, accepting lower instalments until debts paid. (20) The Council has asked Mr B to provide supporting written evidence of his ‘vulnerability’ for it to find out if there are other conditions from which he suffers that may fit his interpretation of vulnerability, e.g. Mental health, depression, post- traumatic stress, at risk of self-harm, inability to understand and engage with the process. The Council says that if Mr B does meet any of these criteria, then it may withdraw the warrants and close the cases. Mr B has not provided supporting evidence. Analysis from the Local Government Ombudsman: (23) Mr B complained a business centre issued the warrants rather than a court and so were invalid. The TEC is the court appointedt to deal with registration of debts arising from penalty charge notices. I can find no fault on this point. (24) Mr B complains the bailiffs did not have the correct warrants. The Council has said the court sends the warrants electronically and so there are no paper copies. For completeness, I will ask the Council to send me its electronic records showing the warrants but I can see no evidence of fault on this point. (25) Mr B believes that under the Taking Control of Goods National Standards 2010, (updated 2015) as soon as he told the bailiff company finds out he is vulnerable (with no explanation) they have to withdraw. He believes that he does not need to provide details of his details of his vulnerability; it is then the Council’s job to prove he isn’t. (26) The Taking Control of Goods Regulations 2013, part 2, regulation 10 set out the circumstances in which an enforcement agent may not take control of goods. It saysa debtor where The legislation does not give any further guidance about how a vulnerable person is defined. (27) Mr B told the Council he was a vulnerable person. However, he has not explained why he considers he is vulnerable. He considers that it is the Council’s job to prove he is not. (28) It cannot be right that a person can say they are vulnerable and all outstanding debts are written off without them giving further information. If this was the case, then there would be no way for the Council to enforce any debt collection as anybody could claim vulnerability without evidence. I do consider it reasonable for Mr B to explain why he considers himself to be vulnerable. (29) In any case, a vulnerable person still has to pay th debtor pays the fines, e.g. deferring payment periods or accepting lower instalments. It should also allow the vulnerable person time to get help and advice. (30) I have found no fault in the Council’s actions. The Council gave Mr B the opportunity to appeal the PCN’s and to appeal to the court. No further recovery action has been taken once he told the bailiffs and Council he is vulnerable. However, I do consider it reasonable for him to give details of his vulnerability if he wants the Council to consider removing the warrants.

The Council has agreed to take the steps recommended to remedy the injustice caused. The complaint Tthat enforcement agents acting for the Council removed and eventually sold his car to pay for a debt which related to the previous owner. Mr X says he provided the Council and enforcement agents with proof he had bought the car in good faith but they did not accept it. Mr X would like the cost of the car refunded. He would also like the Council to reimburse him for the cost of possessions he lost when the enforcement agents seized the car and the hire car costs he has since incurred. The History The car referred to in this complaint was formerly owned by Mr Z – who previously lived at the same address as Mr X. The Council issued a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) to Mr Z. When Mr Z did not respond to the PCN, the Council obtained a court order which allowed its enforcement agents to recover the money owed. On 10 September 2016 the enforcement agents issued Mr Z with a Notice of Enforcement (NOE). This told him that enforcement action had started and gave him 14 days to settle the balance or agree a payment plan.the Act”) says that once enforcement agents issues an NOE, the goods of a debtor are “bound”. This means the debtor cannot sell them or give them away. But Schedule 12 of the Act says that if a person buys goods from a debtor which were bound, they can keep them if they can show they obtained the goods: in good faith;for valuable consideration (normally money but can be something else of value); andwithout knowing the belongings were bound. Mr Z did not respond to the NOE and on 28 September 2016 enforcement agents visited his home address. The car was parked outside his home address and the enforcement agents took control of the car. When enforcement agents take control of goods they are deciding which goods they can sell to meet the person’s debt. Once an enforcement agent takes control of goods they are known as “controlled goods”. Enforcement agents will not always remove controlled goods straight away. The enforcement agents posted an inventory to Mr Z’s home which said the car was now controlled goods. They also affixed a notice to the car. To stop the enforcement agents removing the car Mr Z needed to pay the outstanding debt. Mr Z did not respond and the enforcement agents returned to his home on 03 November 2015. They cl

Well, it so happens that at the Kia Soluto’s Mindanao launch in Cagayan de Oro, there happens to be a base LX variant on display alongside the top-of-the-line EX. Taking a closer look, these are the.
Outside, aside from the obvious aesthetic styling differences, not much separates these two models. Both run on the same 14-inch tires, steel rims with full covers, and both don’t even have front fog lights (they do both get rear fog lights though).
Inside though, it’s a very different story. It’s clear that Kia’s managed to stretch their peso and equipped the base-model Soluto with a lot more standard stuff. How much more stuff? Well, how about:
When asked about whether Kia Philippines knew about the arrival of their new competitor beforehand, Kia Philippines’s President Mr. Manny Aligada said: “We knew it all along, but we are confident that with the Soluto, we’ve come up with a car that fits the desires of the first-time car buyer.”
At the same time, Mr. Aligada also reiterates that purchases in the small car segment are predominately done under financing. “Seventy . |

But naps aren’t “’10-t’”
Basically, sandwich anything important with naps. Because scggling is a great skill for any youth soccer player. Although using the skill in a game situation usually angers the opponent and draws a hard foul, practicing juggling on your own is a great way to improve your touch on the ball. However, learning to juggle a soccer ball is not easy and improve in this skill.
Use your feet, and only your feet. Too often when I was playing youth soccer, we would juggle as a team, and I realized that myself and many of the other children would try to juggle with the knees in order to increase the number of counts in an effort to break into the highly coveted “100 club”. The problem with this tactic is that it defeats the purpose of the drill. How often do you use your knees in a soccer game to make plays with the ball? Probably not anywhere near as much as the feet. So if you wish for your players to actually improve on the ball, it is wise to persuade them to only use their feet when juggling. |

Recent biotechnological advances led to growing numbers of single-cell perturbation studies, which reveal molecular and phenotypic responses to large numbers of perturbations. However, analysis across diverse datasets is typically hampered by differences in format, naming conventions, and data filtering. In order to facilitate development and benchmarking of computational methods in systems biology, we collect a set of 44 publicly available single-cell perturbation-response datasets with molecular readouts, including transcriptomics, proteomics and epigenomics. We apply uniform pre-processing and quality control pipelines and harmonize feature annotations. The resulting information resource enables efficient development and testing of computational analysis methods, and facilitates direct comparison and integration across datasets. In addition, we introduce E-statistics for perturbation effect quantification and significance testing, and demonstrate E-distance as a general distance measure for single cell data. Using these datasets, we illustrate the application of E-statistics for quantifying perturbation similarity and efficacy. The data and a package for computing E-statistics is publicly available at scperturb.org. This work provides an information resource and guide for researchers working with single-cell perturbation data, highlights conceptual considerations for new experiments, and makes concrete recommendations for optimal cell counts and read depth. |
