The autumn of 1981 was the first time that the radio was the first thing I turned on in the morning and the last thing turned off at night.
Q102 would air the Top Ten At Ten weeknights at the titular hour, so a lot of nights I'd leave the radio on, listening well after they'd finished counting down the day's most requested songs.
The station was the station for most of my junior high classmates and the previous evening's countdown usually merited at least a few minutes discussion and debate the following day.
It was a good station for a kid just beginning to become interested in music, Top 40 with diverse offerings ranging from Air Supply and Hall & Oates to The Go-Go's and Rick James as well as classic Who, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin.
Perusing the Hot 100 in Billboard magazine from thirty years ago, most of the songs are recognizable, some more familiar than others; some I did hear at the time and some only over the ensuing years.
Here are the nine songs making their first appearance on the chart during this week in 1981…
Arlan Day – I Surrender
from Surrender (1981)
(debuted #90, peaked #71, 7 weeks on chart)
Arlan Day has one more hit song than me and likely you, yet there's probably more info floating in cyberspace on most of us than there is on Arlan.
I Surrender makes me wonder if Day was concocted in some lab from leftover scraps of Leo Sayer.
Pablo Cruise – Slip Away
from Reflector (1981)
I know little about Pablo Cruise other than Whatcha Gonna Do? and Love Will Find A Way. I think that they were from California and had moustaches.
(they had that bright, late '70s California soft pop sound and I think moustaches were mandated for such acts at the time)
Slip Away is pleasant enough, not quite four minutes of unadorned, mid-tempo, yacht rock blues.
The Alan Parsons Project – Snake Eyes
from The Turn Of A Friendly Card (1980)
I've long owned a lot of music by The Alan Parsons Project, but couldn't remember Snake Eyes and it wasn't familiar upon listening to it.
A follow-up to The Turn Of A Friendly Card's earlier hits Games People Play and Time, Snake Eyes is neither as catchy as the former nor as evocative as the latter.
Quarterflash – Harden My Heart
from Quarterflash (1981)
(debuted #80, peaked #3, 24 weeks on chart)
Thanks to Casey Kasem I know that Quarterflash got their name from…it's an Australian saying…
I had to look it up. It derives from an Australian slang description of new immigrants as "one quarter flash and three parts foolish."
Harden My Heart was appealing and seems to have retained a bit of a presence.
(and my teenaged buddies and I found Quarterflash lead singer/saxophonist Rindy Ross to be quite fetching)
Juice Newton – The Sweetest Thing (I've Ever Known)
from Juice (1981)
Juice Newton caught my attention when I heard Angel Of The Morning and Queen Of Hearts – her earlier Top Ten hits from her self-titled album – on the radio, mostly because her name was Juice.
(sadly, her name is actually Judy)
Juice straddled the line between country and pop with those songs and the singer became a breakout sensation in 1981. The Sweetest Thing (I've Ever Known) is on the twangier side and, thus, was of no interest to me at the time, but I find the song more engaging now and Juice belts the melodramatic ballad to the back row.
Survivor – Poor Man's Son
from Premonition (1981)
(debuted #78, peaked #33, 14 weeks on chart)
Survivor was just another aspiring arena rock band in the autumn of '81, but, by the following summer, the Chicago band would unleash the mighty Eye Of The Tiger into an unsuspecting world. I seem to recall reading that it was hearing Poor Man's Son that prompted Sylvester Stallone to tap Survivor to compose the theme for Rocky III.
The punchy Poor Man's Son is servicable but sounds more like a band that would be relegated to opening act status for the Journeys, Foreigners, and REO Speedwagons of the world, hardly hinting at the musical immortality awaiting Survivor.
Kool & The Gang- Take My Heart (You Can Have It If You Want It)
from Something Special (1981)
Kool & The Gang was a pop radio staple in the early '80s and throughout much of the decade, but the venerable R&B/funk act had punched their ticket for enduring fame and fortune a year earlier with the mammoth hit Celebration. The effervescent song became the soundtrack to all things celebatory in nature, especially sporting events.
I never really cared much for the doo-wop tinged Take My Heart, perferring the grittier funk of its follow-up Get Down On It, but I recall my buddy Beej loving the song at the time.
Rod Stewart – Young Turks
from Tonight I'm Yours (1981)
In 1981, my classmates and I knew little of Rod Stewart's already extensive history aside from his disco vamp Do You Think I'm Sexy, that song's follow-up Ain't Love A Bitch (because, hey, he just said "bitch"), and rumors of stomach pumping.
I totally dug Young Turks, the tale of Billy and Patti and their ten-pound baby boy, which found Rod ditching the disco trappings for a more wiry, New Wave musical vibe.
Diana Ross – Why Do Fools Fall In Love
from Why Do Fools Fall In Love (1981)
Diana Ross had retained her superstar status as a solo act in the '70s not only with a string of hit songs but in a number of movies as well.
However, like Rod Stewart, my classmates and I knew Ross for her more recent work – stuff like the movie The Wiz and her early '80s hits like Upside Down, I'm Coming Out, and Endless Love – than her iconic time as a Supreme in the '60s.
Whatever I knew by The Supremes at the time would have been dismissed as ancient history and Ross' update of a Frankie Lymon hit from the '50s usually prompted me to search for something else on the dial.

Give My Regards To The Eye In The Sky, Mr. Woolfson
The Drunken Frenchman, whom I have mentioned numerous times, would often inform me of the passing of someone – usually the member of some band whose heyday was in the '60s or early '70s and who I had maybe a passing knowledge of at best.
A few days ago, I stumbled across a mention of the death of Eric Woolfson last week. It was mentioned again at The Hits Just Keep On Comin'.
The name might be unfamiliar to a lot of people. Even the name Alan Parsons Project -with Parsons, Woolfson was part of that ensemble's core -might mean little to most folks twenty-five years later.
Most people would know some of Woolfson's music with Parsons, though. The group had a number of songs on the radio in the late '70s and early '80s like I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You, Time, and Eye In The Sky. In the '90s, if you watched Chicago Bulls home games, it was an Alan Parsons Project instrumental, Sirius, that was played during player introductions.
Despite having some impressive credentials as musicians (Parsons had engineered albums like Abbey Road and Dark Side Of The Moon), I don't think I could have picked either Woolfson or Parsons out of a line-up. I think they had beards and, based on some online searches, it seems I was right.
I did (and still do) own a good amount of the group's catalog, at least from 1980's The Turn Of A Friendly Card onward. It was that album that had arrived around the time that my interest in music was beginning and Games People Play was getting a lot of attention on the Top 40 station that was popular with my junior high classmates.
The group would have a handful of hits over the next half decade or so (and had already had a handful over the previous few years). Though they didn't necessarily fit in with much of the music we were listening to at the time, my friends and I listened to a lot of Alan Parsons Project during high school.
Our interest began to wane with 1985's Vulture Culture (commercially, the group had topped out the previous year with Ammonia Avenue and the hits Don't Answer Me and Prime Time).
The duo released two more albums before splitting up. Their finale, Gaudi, arrived during the winter of '87 when my friends and I had headed in separate directions and were in the midst of our first year of college. I didn't hear that album until summer break when I was with two of those friends.
(it happened to be in the tape deck when we crashed the family station wagon which the one friend had borrowed that day)
Here are four songs from Alan Parsons Project…
Alan Parsons Project – Sirius
from Eye In The Sky
Alan Parsons Project always had a couple of instrumentals per album. When I went back and discovered their music prior to 1980's The Turn Of A Friendly Card, I was surprised to find I knew many of their instrumentals from their use on television programs and commercials (a local furniture store used I, Robot in one of the latter).
As for Sirius, most people would be familiar with the song though likely not know it by name. The Bulls during their championship runs of the '90s were one of many sports teams to make use of the track which segued into Eye In The Sky on the album and, occasionally, the two remained linked on radio.
Alan Parsons Project – Eye In The Sky
Alan Parsons Project used a revolving cast of lead singers with Woolfson handling the task on a handful of tracks. However, he provided the lead vocals on several of the group's best-known hits including Time (which I mentioned recently), Don't Answer Me, and Eye In The Sky.
I remember first hearing the hypnotic Eye In The Sky when it first hit radio in late summer of '82. It was on a family vacation and I kept coming upon the song on the radio as I channel-surfed during long stretches in the car.
Alan Parsons Project – Don't Answer Me
from Ammonia Avenue
With its shuffling melody and Phil Spector-influenced sound, Don't Answer Me sounded amazing on the radio in the spring of 1984. Of course, most of Alan Parsons Project stuff was sonic, but, with Don't Answer Me, they also married their stellar production to one of their most memorable songs.
As I mentioned, JB at The Hits Just Keep On Comin' noted Woolfson's passing and praised the video which accompanied the song. It's well worth a viewing there.
Alan Parsons Project – Days Are Numbers (The Traveller)
from Vulture Culture
Alan Parsons Project had no shortage of pretty, ethereal songs in their catalog. Days Are Numbers is among the prettiest.
It got a bit of airplay in the autumn of '85. My girlfriend at the time had gone off to college and my friends and I, who were in the midst of our senior year of high school, were within sight of our own parting of ways. Perhaps those events made the song and its subject matter resonate so strongly with me.

"It's Just Time, It's Not Like It Means Anything"
I've been a bit scattered the past several days with this whole time change thing. Seriously.
I grew up in one of two small areas in the US that didn't kowtow to The Man on the issue of Daylight Savings Time. Aside from some time in Southeast Asia, I was into my twenties before I ever moved a clock forward or set one back. I let time do its thing.
Then, I was suddenly a forced participant in this national game of Hokey Pokey with a chronological twist.
Now, after weeks of adjusting to making the morning commute in the dark, I have to reorient to the dawning sun on the horizon, manhandling my still sleeping retinas as I speed along.
It also adds an added level of complexity to an item that has been a staple in every phone conversation with my mom ever since I left home.
"What time is it there?"
(it's not as though she has to calculate Pi)
"Well, the time changed last night."
(her tone indicates that it is entirely possible that she holds hobgoblins in the night responsible)
"It's Sunday."
Mom is not amused. I rehash how time zones work and the unchanging fact that, so long as both of us live where we do, it will always be an hour later there, no matter what hobgoblins might do with the clocks.
But, to quote a line from the movie Some Kind Of Wonderful, directed by the late John Hughes, "It's just time, it's not like it means anything."
There were hundreds of songs with time in the title when I searched the hard drive. Here is a quartet…
Alan Parsons Project – Time
from The Turn Of A Friendly Card
They might have had progressive leanings, but one-time Abbey Road Studios engineer Alan Parsons' collective also produced some masterful singles. The ultra-wistful Time is an autumn song to me.
My Bloody Valentine – We Have All The Time In The World
from Peace Together
Peace Together was a compilation from '93, a charity record for some organization promoting peace in Northern Ireland. My first trip to the UK coincided with the Good Friday Peace Accord which happened four years later.
As a kid in the States in the late '70s/early '80s, the troubles in Ireland were inscrutible. All I really understood was that a lot of folks were suffering, mostly ordinary people who merely wanted to live their lives. To watch the news, it seemed like an intractable war.
Three decades later, it seems as though that conflict has been mostly resolved. The relative calm in Northern Ireland now might be the lone thing that gives me hope the major conflicts in the world today might also reach some, if not perfect, at least benign resolution.
Culture Club – Time (Clock Of The Heart)
from Kissing To Be Clever
I have no qualms in declaring an affection for Culture Club. Boy George had a fantastic voice and they had more than a few brilliantly frothy pop songs – Do You Really Want To Hurt Me, Church Of The Poison Mind, Victims.
They also had some godawful stuff.
Time (Clock Of The Heart) is one of the former and sounds timeless. When it shuffles up on the iPod, Paloma reacts like I do to bacon.
Matthew Ryan – Time And Time Only
from East Autumn Grin
I used to smoke cigarettes with Ryan many years ago. Good times.
It's been a long time – six, seven years – since I heard one of his albums, but I thought his first few releases were pretty compelling collections. The dire Time And Time Only makes Springsteen's Nebraska sound positively giddy.

Q: how can i add a row datagridview programaticaly can i add a row and write data in datagridview after used theese codes?
İ can write manuel but i can't write with button
.Rows(0).Cells(0).Value = CARKOD.Text
.Rows(s).Cells(1).Value = UNVAN.Text
.Rows(s).Cells(2).Value = ACIKLAMA
With MAHSUP
Dim dt1 = New DataTable()
myDA1 = New OleDbDataAdapter(cm1)
Dim builder1 As OleDbCommandBuilder = New OleDbCommandBuilder(myDA1)
myDataSet1 = New DataSet()
myDA1.Fill(myDataSet1, "CARTH001")
.DataSource = myDataSet1.Tables("CARTH001").DefaultView
End With ```
A: The whole point of data-binding is that the control displays the contents of the data source. It then provides a UI for the user to interact with that data source. If you want to make changes to the data in code, you work with the data source, NOT to UI.
When binding a DataTable to a DataGridView, the correct course of action is to use a BindingSource between them and use that to access the data in code. You can add the BindingSource in the designer and then bind like this:
Dim myDataTable As New DataTable
myDataAdapter.Fill(myDataTable)
myBindingSource.DataSource = myDataTable
myDataGridView.DataSource = myBindingSource
To add a row, you call AddNew on the BindingSource. That will return the new item, which is a DataRowView. You populate that and then commit it to the underlying DataTable and the DataGridView will display it, e.g.
Dim newRow = DirectCast(myBindingSource.AddNew(), DataRowView)
newRow("SomeColumn") = someValue
myBindingSource.EndEdit()
To summarise, DO NOT use the DefaultView of the DataTable directly. DO bind the DataTable to a BindingSource and DO bind that to your UI. DO always use the BindingSource to manipulate and navigate the bound data in code.

Yet another week has just flown by! I've been working on a bunch of different quilting projects, plus a couple of life projects too.
For quilting projects, I'm in the middle of the Southern Stars quilt pattern by She Quilts A Lot. As you can see, it's a cute and fairly straightforward pattern. If only there weren't 288 stitch and flips to make for the little stars!!!
I'm also trying out Anna Graham's Maker Tote. I've made quite a few of her other bags and loved them all, so I'm anticipating that this will be as enjoyable as the other projects. Right now I've picked out fabric for a couple of totes and am waiting on my separating zippers to arrive. I've never sewed with a separating zipper before but don't anticipate any issues. In March, I'll be leading a class on this project, so if you've ever wanted to get into bag making but are intimidated by the zippers, handles, and hardware this is a great opportunity to learn those skills. There's a huge variety of bag and totes (even free patterns) out there and once you are confident about the fundamentals, you can make any bag.
This week's free pattern is a beauty from Ella Blue. If you're not familiar with this fabric line, it's a family-owned business out of Australia and the fabrics are printed in Japan. I love their basics, but don't see the fabric very often here.
As you can see, there's nothing terribly complicated about this pattern – it's pairs of HSTs arranged in a chevron-style pattern. The quilt finishes at 60×60″, but if you wanted something larger, you could make your HSTs larger than the called-for 6.5″. The pattern is 10×10 HSTs – so 100 total. Nothing too traumatic and totally doable if you're whipping up a quilt on short notice. However, the impact of this baby is impressive and I also love the potential for using SCRAPS, although it would take some careful planning to get the rainbow effect. | {

A lot's changed since 1945. The classic rotary manual sewing machines we first sold and repaired back when our doors first opened have given way to more technically impressive electric models with a wide variety of options and features that allow you to fully explore your creativity.
One thing that hasn't changed, however, is our commitment to quality service, at great prices.
At Shingleton's, you'll get that same quality service that's been our trademark for nearly 70 years. We pride ourselves on having the best technicians west of the Mississippi, who are ready to provide you industry-best repairs. In addition to repairing any brand, we also sell parts and accessories, and if you're looking for a new machine, we sell Janome Sewing Machines, Sergers, and coverstitch machines.
For the best in repairs and service, count on our family-owned and operated company. We've proven ourselves to be the trusted sewing machine experts you can rely on for repairs of all major brands, including Brother, Singer, Pfaff, and more. We also offer a complete selection of parts and accessories, so if you're looking for anything from a carrying case to a new foot pedal, you'll find it here.

Volume 10 – Chapter 16: Recruitment (Part 1)
Posted on November 29, 2021 by TibetanTerrier
The shot rich middle-aged man's identity was quickly confirmed. The unfortunate soul had a good reputation in the local area.
The deceased turned out to be one of the senators of this country. He seemed to have the opportunity to grow his political career further. It was fair to say that he was a prominent figure in this country's government.
At this time, people discovered that there were escort cars on both the front and back of the victim, aside from the senator's special car that crashed into the shop.
However, now the target under protection was dead. Their existence had become ridiculous.
"Did you assassinate the senator in the street? It is frightening." Luo Qiu did not get the glass of aperitif wine that Song Haoran had poured but looked at the panicked crowd on the street outside the window.
Song Haoran said calmly at this time, "Go to the neighboring slum to live for some time. It doesn't take much, but just a few days. You will find that this kind of thing is common. Of course, I suggest you hire a local as a tour guide. That will make you safer. But, you don't seem to panic."
Song Haoran's gaze changed slightly.
Luo Qiu whispered at this time, "Maybe it has something to do with my family. My father is a policeman. I have been exposed to this since childhood. So I'm not too afraid of this kind of thing."
"I see." Song Haoran nodded.
As for whether he believed in this explanation, only he probably knew it.
Song Haoran himself didn't think that the young couple had deliberately approached him. After all, at the very beginning, he took the initiative to walk into the flower shop. Also, he was the one who invited the couple to have lunch on a whim.
Maybe they are just ordinary people who come to travel? Unfortunately, Song Haoran didn't intend to find out more about it at this time… Maybe there will be opportunities in the future.
Thinking of this, Song Haoran stood up suddenly, showing an apologetic expression, "I think, after this happened, there is no way to have a good lunch next. It's a pity. It should have been a pleasant lunch. Finally, a little suggestion, it's best to leave this place as soon as possible before the local police arrive… If you don't want to face the local police investigation."
"Thank you for your suggestion. We will consider it." Luo Qiu also stood up, but just as a farewell.
Song Haoran smiled, reached out his hand to pick up a cherry from the table, and put it in his mouth to chew. Before leaving, he blinked and said, "I hope it doesn't affect your mood for vacation. If there is a chance, I will invite you to have authentic Spanish food."
"Sure, if there is a chance." Boss Luo smiled and nodded.
Probably Luo Qiu could act more like a normal person. For example, he could show the panic that an ordinary person should have when facing this event, and the maid would definitely cooperate well.
However, Luo Qiu had long lost interest in this disguise. Mainly, it was much easier for the boss to erase Song Haoran's memory than him putting on an act.
The maid moved the vase on the table back to its original place and carefully fiddled with the fake flowers and leaves on it. Then she smiled and said, "It seems that there should be more casualties in the next few days. I don't know what 'Iris' purpose is."
Luo Qiu looked at the unsettled crowd outside the window and suddenly asked, "What do you think about my cousin?"
"Talkative." You Ye responded softly.
"Talkative?" Boss Luo smiled and didn't comment on it further. He suggested, "It is probably too late to go back and prepare lunch. Let's go elsewhere and see if there are other special cuisines. Our harvest today is nice. We should reward ourselves."
The maid… You Ye naturally listened to the master.
Before the police arrived, Song Haoran got in a red off-road vehicle at the traffic light on the next street corner where the restaurant was located. The one who drove in the front seat was a woman with long red hair and white skin, aged twenty-six. There was another man in the passenger seat.
Lluvia and O'Neill.
The two shouted at the same time: Military advisor.
O'Neill raised his eyebrows at this time. Song Haoran said directly after getting in the car, "The target was hit with a hit, and he died on the spot."
As for Lluvia, she continued, "On the retreat route, no one noticed O'Neill."
Song Haoran smiled, "On the way back, let's put our equipment in the next safe house. Also, let's find a place to have something to celebrate. It's a pity that I wasn't able to have my lunch just now. It seems that there are still some errors in the time calculation."
Lluvia looked at Song Haoran's face in the rearview mirror, then looked forward intently. While driving the car, she asked, "Military advisor, who are the two?"
"It's just fellow compatriots I met by chance. I'm just a little interested in them," said Song Haoran casually.
"Compatriots… that old eastern country?" Lluvia nodded and didn't dig further.
O'Neill blew a whistle, squinted his eyes, grinned, and said, "The woman next to the Asian boy is great! Even if it costs me 1 million, I am willing to pay!"
Lluvia's hand that controlled the steering wheel turned into a fist and hit O'Neill's cheek. She coldly snorted, "I really shouldn't have rescued you at the beginning, but let you continue to work in that male escort shop and finally died on the woman's belly."
Song Haoran didn't care about the fight between the two in front. Lluvia and O'Neill were more normal compared to the other desperadoes in "Iris" that his father had established.
He suddenly chuckled, "By the way, how about I tell you the story of my adventure in the Amazon jungle?"
Lluvia indicated that she was willing to listen and even turned the volume of the car's stereo to the minimum. O'Neill had a horrified expression on his face. He said in an exaggerated expression, "Oh! My God, Lluvia! The military advisor is going to tell his adventure story about duping pretty girls again!"
"Hahaha." Song Haoran smiled happily, then opened the car window. His fingers grasped on the passing wind outside the window. He then smelled the air and revealed a beautiful smile.
The weather in South America was still summer, but it was frigid winter in China.
Perhaps it was because the weather was too cold, there were fewer pedestrians on the street.
However, there was rigorous training taking place at the underground training ground of a particular veterinary hospital. Three figures collided with each other at a horrifying speed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Sun Xiaosheng, the Elysium Bar's owner, gave his full dedication to training the two temporary students.
"Windchaser, can you be faster? Is this what you call Godspeed? It's just a little bit faster than the tortoise crawling on the floor. Xiaofei, did you fap too much last night? How come you look weak? In this case, you can't even tickle me!"
Not long after, Windchaser and Mo Xiaofei were already exhausted on the underground training ground. They collapsed directly on the yellow mud, sweating profusely.
Sun Xiaosheng stopped suddenly, squatting between the two, looking at them casually, "Is that your limit?"

Asia and Australasia endured their share of both natural and man-made catastrophes in 2014 with 23 percent of estimated global insured losses in 2014. Notable events in the region included the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 in the first quarter and the crash of AirAsia Flight 8501 near Indonesia in December.
The year closed with the onset of significant flooding in Thailand and West Malaysia. The flooding was the result of heavy monsoon rains that began in mid-December. Thousands of homes were damaged and tens of thousands of people were displaced as a result. It is still too early to determine the full scope and impact of this event.

Senators unveil bill to protect surviving military spouses
By: THE IRONTON (OHIO) TRIBUNE - Published: July 22, 2018
RE: https://www.stripes.com/news/us/sena...ouses-1.538976
WASHINGTON (Tribune News Service) — U.S. Sens. Rob Portman, R-Ohio,, Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Deb Fischer, R-Neb., Bill Nelson, D-Fla., and Doug Jones, D-Ala., introduced the bipartisan Gold Star Spouses Leasing Relief Act on Thursday.
The legislation would modify the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act to allow a widow or widower of a servicemember who died while in military service to terminate a jointly held residential lease, without penalty, within one year of the servicemember's death.
"A grieving military spouse dealing with the death of their loved one on active duty should be able to end their lease without paying high termination fees," Portman said in a news release. "This bill, with the support of numerous veterans groups and the Department of Defense, is a commonsense fix for Gold Star spouses. I encourage my colleagues in the Senate to join me in supporting this legislation to provide relief for our Gold Star spouses."
Currently, when a servicemember receives military orders, his or her spouse is often required to relocate and then sign a lease for a house, apartment, or other dwelling. But if the servicemember dies during military service, the surviving spouse could be forced to pay off the remainder of that residential lease even though the couple only entered into that contract to accommodate the servicemember's assignment.
The Gold Star Spouses Leasing Relief Act also is supported by The American Legion, the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, and the National Military Family Association.
O Almighty Lord God, who neither slumberest nor sleepest; Protect and assist, we beseech thee, all those who at home or abroad, by land, by sea, or in the air, are serving this country, that they, being armed with thy defence, may be preserved evermore in all perils; and being filled with wisdom and girded with strength, may do their duty to thy honour and glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The best part of the burger however lies in the meat – it is juicy, without being dry, it has a nice sear, without being burnt, and most importantly, it has a nice, almost smoky flavor that we crave from summertime grilling, without the taste of artificial smoke or lighter fluid.
Thanks for the entertaining yet delicious lunch! We'll be back again soon... you know, for those lunches that we never take! | {

Peter George Norman (né le à Coburg, mort le à Melbourne) est un athlète australien, cinq fois champion d'Australie et médaillé d'argent aux Jeux olympiques d'été de 1968 à Mexico. Il détient toujours le record d'Océanie du 200 mètres. Sur le podium du 200 m à Mexico, le , Norman s'est solidarisé avec Tommie Smith et John Carlos en portant un badge contre la ségrégation raciale et en leur suggérant de partager une paire de gants noirs lorsque ceux-ci ont levé le poing devant le monde entier.
Biographie
Peter Norman doit sa renommée à sa médaille d'argent sur 200 mètres lors des Jeux olympiques d'été de 1968 le à Mexico. L'or et le bronze sont attribués respectivement aux Américains Tommie Smith et John Carlos. Sur le podium, lors de l'hymne américain, Smith et Carlos, lèvent un poing ganté de noir pour protester contre le racisme et plus précisément la condition du peuple noir aux États-Unis. Les deux hommes sont exclus des Jeux à vie pour ce geste.
Seul Norman a pu rester à Mexico, non sans avoir reçu un avertissement de Judy Patching, responsable de l'équipe australienne. En effet, Norman a clairement soutenu les deux athlètes noirs en portant un badge de soutien à leur cause (Olympic Project for Human Rights), lui-même étant contre la politique de l'Australie blanche. C'est aussi lui qui leur a suggéré, alors que Carlos avait oublié ses gants, de partager la même paire (ce qui explique que Smith a le poing droit ganté, Carlos le gauche). Par la suite, Norman subit un véritable ostracisme de la part des autorités sportives de son pays. Ainsi, malgré d'excellents résultats (troisième) aux épreuves de sélection pour l'équipe d'athlétisme des Jeux olympiques d'été de 1972, il n'est pas sélectionné.
Norman n'a pas été convié aux Jeux olympiques d'été de 2000 de Sydney par les autorités organisatrices australiennes, il a cependant fait partie de l'événement après avoir été invité par les Américains quand ils ont entendu que son pays avait omis de le faire.
Le , l'université d'État de San José inaugure une statue commémorant la protestation de 1968. Norman n'est pas visible sur la statue elle-même car sa place sur le podium est destinée au passant pour qu'il « prenne position ». Invité à l'inauguration, il prononce un discours lors de la cérémonie.
Norman déclare au sujet de l'événement de Mexico, un an avant sa mort :
Norman meurt d'une crise cardiaque à Melbourne le à l'âge de 64 ans. Sa mort a été annoncée par Danny Corcoran, le directeur exécutif de l'athlétisme australien. À l'annonce de son décès, John Coates, président du Comité olympique australien (AOC), a indiqué que Norman « a toujours été un athlète pour qui la justice sociale est importante ». Tommie Smith et John Carlos font le voyage vers Melbourne pour assister à ses obsèques et portent son cercueil. Son neveu, Matt Norman, a alors expliqué :
Peter Norman reste le détenteur du record d'Océanie du 200 m, avec 20 s 06, établi à Mexico en 1968.
Le neveu de Peter Norman, le réalisateur et acteur Matt Norman, a réalisé et produit un documentaire intitulé Salute (2008) sur les trois coureurs.
L'écrivain français, Jérôme Peyrat, a écrit le roman Poing Noir (2018), une biographie romancée, en hommage à Peter Norman, à ses combats et à l'injustice dont il a fait l'objet. En 2019, ce roman est récompensé par le Prix Seligmann contre le Racisme (un prix récompensant une œuvre engagée contre l'intolérance, l'injustice et les discriminations).
Le , une statue en son honneur est inaugurée près du stade Lakeside à Melbourne, sa ville d'origine.

B.C. joins the Arlo Page. Johnny Hart must be turning over in his grave. As always, the password is the first name of Bill Clinton's most well-known little bit on the side (don't forget to capitalize the M).
My only (and this is a stretch) non-Arlo explanation is that the hotel room must be so small that you have to sleep on the john. But Senator Craig might have a better explanation.
I was thinking about your Arlo page and I'm wondering if you know that you can password protect individual posts, not just pages. You could post the comic as a password protected post and then do a second post describing it. I think it would be about the same amount of time as it takes you now to do a post and then upload the comic onto the arlo page, but it would allow people to comment directly below the comic (something I think your fans would appreciate). | {

BUNB T
here are days in life that change you forever. December 4th, 2007, brought one of those moments for Bun B, who, along with thousands of UGK fans, heard the tragic news that his charismatic rap partner and brother from another mother Pimp C had passed away in a Hollywood hotel room at the untimely age of 33. What followed was a whirlwind as Pimp's friends and family retreated into their "respective clouds" and Bun found himself unable to even function in a recording studio, overwhelmed by emotion. Now that the dust has settled and Bun can finally admit that his friend is gone, he's doing the only thing he can do: keep on pushin'. Just like funeral attendees were heartened by Mama C's courageous "I'm okay, he's okay, we're all okay!" speech at her only child's funeral, Bun knows he's gotta stay strong for everybody. And, although he loves the fans, please don't tell him what he's gotta do. He's way 2 Trill to even think about quitting this rap shit. Whether it's Free Pimp C or R.I.P. Pimp C, it's still UGK for life. When does the album come out and what's the name of it? The album is coming out April 1st on Rap a Lot/Asylum. It's called 2 Trill. That's what I am – I'm just too trill for a lot of this bullshit that's been going on lately. It's time for somebody to step up to the plate on some of this shit. I can't address everybody's issues; I'ma address the things I feel are important and we'll see what happens from there. Bullshit? Like, for example? I'm a cat that's still in the hood. When you see me, I'm always one deep. We're in the hood now and it's 3rd Ward. It's the cut. It's row houses. It's always been one of the most infamous weed houses in Houston right around the corner. You know, bullshit with the hood, just a lot of shit that's starting to get out of hand. The way they letting little niggas do things nowadays, nobody's really checking nobody on nothing. They definitely not checking the young niggas, that's why the young niggas feel like they run everything. They feel like they can do anything. There's no rules and no respect in the streets anymore? Yeah. First of all, respect gotta be given; respect gotta be earned, so I can understand if cats don't wanna respect a lot of people in the hood 'cause niggas ain't acting right. Niggas is snitching and telling and everybody's acting like that shit is cool. The honor amongst thieves isn't there anymore. You gotta at least have that in order for the hood to operate in a certain sense. You feel like the honor amongst thieves was there, at a certain point? Yeah, it used to be there definitely. I don't know what really happened as far as the late 80s/early 90s. I think when the sentencing laws started getting a little stricter, for the crack and all of that, niggas just couldn't really do the time that they were being given. It's not like nobody was doing time for other people's cases. This was they case; it was they hustle, they grind. They got caught doing it and just didn't wanna do they time. They didn't wanna pay they debt to society. A lot of cats that I know are prepared to do that or go out whatever way but they not finna take other people down with 'em just
WORDS BY JULIA BEVERLY PHOTOS BY MIKE FROST
because they slipped up. When people say "no stitching," people think [it's about] if we see somebody get shot. That's not what it's about. Where's do you draw the line between what's snitching and what's not? First of all, "stop snitching" has nothing to do with common people. That's the problem. The stop snitching campaign is really only amongst gangsters. We're talking about "stop snitching" if you get caught doing something. We're not talking about if you witnessed [a crime]. That's just pure victim of circumstance; just a common person in the wrong place at the wrong time. I feel sorry for you in that circumstance. But when you see the shirts and all of that, when they say "stop snitching," they ain't talking 'bout the old lady across the street that's calling the police. Of course the old lady across the street is gonna call the police. That's what old ladies across the street do. But we're talking about people for one, who don't know nothing sticking they nose in serious business that they shouldn't be sticking their noses in, and more specifically and more directly, to the individuals living in the criminal world who are committing these crimes. When you get caught, don't snitch on somebody else just 'cause you got caught. That's what the saying "don't do the crime if you can't do the time" means. Unfortunately nobody lives by that shit anymore. So these are still active issues for you. Oh, absolutely, 'cause I'm still in the hood. I still got homeboys that's in the hood. I still know people that live within the criminal world. A lot of people who were prepared to do their five or six years or whatever it was for their particular case are getting caught up in these crazy conspiracy cases that had nothing to do with them just 'cause somebody who got caught with dope knows that it's somebody that's doing big business. They not even doing business with this dude and they giving up these people's names just so they can get time off for themselves. So for people who are hustling and prepared to do they six years, eight years, ten years, if they get caught now they're looking at thirty, forty, fifty years 'cause of conspiracy charges they have nothing to do with. That type of stuff is crazy. Too many people are pulling these youngsters in too early. You got hardheads, knuckleheads, people that no matter what you do they're not gonna get the message; they're gonna do what they wanna do. So be it. But it's a lot of these kids that aren't even given an option as to what they wanna do. We used to run lil niggas off the block; we used to not even let lil niggas see the alley, you couldn't even see the alleyway where niggas used to sell dope and shit at. They wouldn't even let niggas go down that alleyway. Now niggas scared to be in the alleyways so they put lil niggas in the alley. That shit is weak, man. That's the type of shit I'm talking about. You got grown ass men letting lil kids take cases for them. Is there even enough money in the streets these days for it to be worth it? That's the problem. For a kid that ain't got nothing at home, that little $20 or $30 looks good. They not even getting R20 off the R100 that niggas used to get anymore. They just getting a little something and that's why they going

DOVER, DE--(Marketwired - Apr 20, 2017) - Metatron (OTC PINK: MRNJ), a pioneer of releasing Marijuana & CBD related apps on iTunes and Google Play, is pleased to report the release of the new and improved Cannaboids app and its website. Cannaboids provides information and news for consumers about medical CBD, as well as locations, ratings, and inventories of local medical dispensaries. Securing both the website and application, allows users of all ages to have multiple vantage points of achieving success at locating the correct dispensaries, news, & cannabis medical professionals in their area.
One of the key updates to note, was the addition of a rate charge for dispensaries using Cannaboids' services. Rates will start at $200 per month, and climb as high as $1000, depending on how extensive their listing is. Metatron wanted to ensure a healthy and sustainable revenue generation was created for their subsidiary Cannaboids. This same market strategy is how WeedMaps was able to generate $400,000 monthly.
The company has received several inquiries about the purchase of their reverse spilt proof Series B shares. As a convenience, a link to the Series B CEO letter is provided below.
In recent news, the US neighboring country Canada has announced legislation to legalize Marijuana. Possession of small amounts of marijuana will be legal throughout the country on July 1, 2018, if the legislation passes. To note, 63 million Americans now live in states where it's legal to even grow cannabis. With Canada announcing its plan to legalize marijuana by 2018, the projected market value of cannabis will only continue to increase. The Cannabis market is on the uptrend of liquidity as more states and countries begun to acquire this resource. Metatron is eager to secure success for their company and its shareholders, and the Cannabis market is that avenue.
As of Mar 21, 2017, the company had 75,371,558 issued and 8,846,557 restricted shares.
The Company has experience in developing over 2000+ mobile applications for top tier clients in the past years with over $3.6 million in sales and millions in downloads.
People interested, can view and download our current live apps focused on health and wellness, cannabis, and message encryption by visiting the app stores below. We plan to update these apps in our upcoming relaunch, and will be adding a more to our list.

I knew that I was going to make a skirt version of my Ceil Chapman Gown at some point. I had hoped to find the perfect light-weight wool (and perhaps I will at some point). But since wool skirt weather has passed for the time being, I decided that a novelty cotton print would be a whole lot of fun, and not too expensive.
Take away the bodice, and this pattern is not very complicated – just a fabulous design by Ms. Ceil Chapman.
However, you should be warned, if you do not have a large cutting space, run away from this pattern immediately. One side of the skirt, alone, is too big for my cutting mat. Ridiculous, right?!
When the Sew Weekly Circle Skirt Challenge came along, I knew exactly what I wanted to make. Yes, this is not technically a circle skirt (it is actually more than a complete circle) and the scallops are an extra feature that adds something special, but it looks like one, right?!
When I found this apple print at fabric.com, I was very pleased.
And apples go wonderfully with gingham - but I was a bit concerned that I would not be able to find a suitable red and white cotton gingham. It is a bit embarrassing to admit, but I found my fabric in one of my cotton stash drawers. Yes, I admit, I have a problem – I had completely forgotten the existence of the remnant from an apron that was given as a gift. Too much fabric have I!
But I did remember to clip my scallops! Obviously, a concave curve requires that little triangular pieces get cut out, or the seam will not lay flat. Something I often forget is that a convex curve also requires a bit of fabric removal, or that extra bit will cause irritating bumps to form when the outer edge has to fit inside a smaller curve. Depending on fabric choice, it may not be a huge deal, or may cause endless frustration. Funny how all those tedious fabric techniques really work wonders!
I must say that irons are truly the miracle sewing aid. Just take a look at a before and after shot (and I now realize it does not quite have the same effect in a photo, but I promise in person, it looks 100% better). People are always discussing what sewing accoutrement they cannot do without. My desert island choice would have to be the iron, along with a working electrical outlet, and the sewing machine. Without one, these scallops look sad. After a quick press, they make me smile.
I tried something a bit different with the waistband this time around. The addition of some plastic boning placed vertically across the fabric really helps keep it from folding over throughout the day.
To keep the sewn channels from showing through, and for a bit more added stability, I attached the boning to an extra layer of underlining. That underlining was then basted to my fabric waistband, at which point I sewed the lining piece to the top edge and under-stitched.
So I finally found a use for that small package of plastic boning that I thought I would never use. In small doses it really is bearable (and so much more washable than its steel counterpart).
Picnic perfect, don't ya think?
I love pink! I loved it as a child, and then went through a phase in which pink was no longer lovely. I moved backward up the rainbow from purple, to blue, to green. Not being a fan of yellow, well, I skipped over that one. In high school, a friend was always talking about how happy her orange sweater made her, and in college, I decided that a pumpkin sweater was too fabulous to pass up (even if the color did nothing for my complexion).
These days, I would say my favorite colors are lavender and green. But I am growing to love red (the grownup version of pink), so I have come full circle.
This week's Sew Weekly Challenge was "Childhood Memories." Out came the boxes of photos. I remember wearing a lot of pink, what I did not remember was all of the pants.
I do NOT miss the 1980s! Très chic? Mais NON!
As soon as I had my hands on the fabric and patterns I brought home from the Sew Weekly Swap, I decided I would have to make one of my "new" patterns using my "new" fabric. It did not take long to pair the pink cotton with Hollywood 1719.
I was a little bit bummed about not having enough fabric to make myself a belt, however, once I put the dress on, it was clear that all that pink needed needed to be broken up. I may be extremely girly, but I have no wish to look like I am wearing a five-year-old's dress.
My scalloped platform pumps were a perfect match, and I decided to continue that brown accessory trend with my belt.
The daisy brooches did not look quite right on the dress, but I was determined to wear them, so I stuck them in my hair. Okay, so wearing flowers in my hair screams five-year-old even more than the pink dress - don't judge me!
About halfway through the construction I was sure that the dress was not going to work (especially when those pockets were not behaving) but I am thrilled with the finished project. Sometimes a stubborn streak can pay off. And I am sure I will be getting a whole lot of wear out of this frock during the summer months!
Here is my latest finished project. The description states that it is an "afternoon dress," but I love it so much I think it deserves to be worn all day long! Does anyone "dress for dinner" anymore?
Thank you, again, Adey for the amazing pattern. They just don't make 'em like they used to. All of the extra special details make me realize that my love affair with vintage clothing is here to stay (but I bet you already knew that).
This project was originally part of a Sew Weekly challenge for VIP fabric. Well, time got away from me, along with my motivation to finish the dress, and I missed the deadline by a mile.
While I was sewing this beautiful fabric, my mind kept flashing on the view I have as I drive home from work every day. At sunset, the hills in Marin County turn this very color.
The green floral jacquard pattern even mimics the green trees that spot the hills.
And guess what this week's challenge is? City Inspiration. Well, now, that is just perfect! How wonderful is it when everything comes together like that!?
I added a sleeve head made of cotton quilting batting to help keep the sleeves from looking droopy. I generally use shoulder pads in my vintage dresses, but I think that the small rectangular strips work very well with this light weight fabric.
Looking at the photos, it looks like I need to add a snap to the end of that belt flap, but that's an easy fix.
Overall, I have to say I am pleased that I saved this incredible fabric for this brilliant pattern! | {

<h1>Image Replacement—No Span</h1>
<p>Many of us have used the <a href="http://www.stopdesign.com/articles/css/replace-text/">Background-Image to Replace Text</a> method
for inserting an image that is only really important to the layout through CSS.
One of the downside of this method is the use of an extra span tag.
But alas no more, by setting the overflow to hidden, the height to zero, the padding-top to the height of the image, and the background-image to the image you want to display you can get the same effect.
</p>
<h2>Example</h2>
<h3 id="ex1">Example Text for the Image Replacement</h3>
<h3>HTML</h3>
<p class="code"><h3 id="ex1">Example Text for the Image Replacement</h3></p>
<h3>CSS</h3>
<p class="code"><span class="css-definition">#ex1</span>{
/*Hide the text*/
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
/*Size of the image*/
padding-top: 133px;
width: 243px;
/*The image*/
background-image: url(ex1.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

The holiday season means the purchasing of gifts, and in the age of online shopping, tech gifts are often the most sought after to give and receive. Artificial Intelligence (AI) gifts are increasing in popularity/ According to some studies, 20% of the United States adult population owns a smart speaking device (think Amazon Echo and Alexa.) During the first few months of 2018, Google shipped 3.2 million of its Google Home and Mini devices, and Amazon shipped 2.5 million of its Echoes to consumers. Basically, that means that smart devices are only increasing in popularity.
However, one must be aware that home AI devices can still come with security risks. In fact, McAfee released a report in November that said hackers are turning to these devices now more than ever to secretly hack these systems – and most won't know until the information has already been stolen.
"Wake up words" are used to activate the smart devices, which then triggers the device to send that information for processing and respond with an action. This sounds simple and harmless, however, there have been incidents where wake up words were heard on intentionally and carried out unwanted actions. Changing the wake up words and setting a PIN number to be entered before purchases can help to cut down on any confusion.
It is also important to know if your smart device is listening to conversations. Change any settings to notify you when conversations and/or requests are heard.
For Google products, the security risks aren't so much with the product, but in the devices and accounts linked it it. The data between Google Home and Google is encrypted, so any information that could be compromised comes from the risk of Google's data centers being hacked. One suggestion to mitigate risk is creating a new Google account that is only used with your Google Home device. This account should remain separate from the account used for GMail and any other Google products. With that said, avoid linking any banking or payment information to the home device.
Conversation history is also stored on the Google Assistant servers until deleted; delete those recordings frequently, especially those that deal with personal information such as location, finances or health issues.
Smart devices can be extremely convenient – controlling your thermostat, fridge and even microwave from another room is advanced luxury at its finest; but taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety of your home and information is essential when owning any AI product. | {

Material Resources 50 Year Celebration
On December 4, 2014, MCCS celebrated its last 50th anniversary event with an evening to celebrate the Material Resources department. It was held at Mount Royal Church in Saskatoon. 39 people were present and enjoyed a lively time of remincing about this vital service. The cake shown here, was cleverly decorated to show items from a typical School Kit.
The dove on the black background is the MCC logo on the humanitarian aid shipped out by MCC, giving us a name as "the People of the Bird."
Del Lennea shared the following report and history. . . .
Material Resources
Material Resources are the items Mennonite Central Committee sends overseas as humanitarian aid to those in need. Doreen Epp and Darlene Wahl, as well as myself, Del Lennea, helped build MR into what it is today.
Doreen was a kind, gentle entrepreneur married to a hard-working farmer. She was an excellent resource to be part of MCC. She had the knowledge and support it took to get a donor base established. Doreen also began the logistics of putting together a plan of how to get items here in Saskatchewan to faraway places overseas to those people who needed them.
One of Doreen's highlights, working for MCCS, was the opportunity to travel to Ukraine. On this trip she was able to see where MCC had its first ever shipment of food delivered and dispersed.
As earlier mentioned Darlene Wahl was also part of MR at the MCCS location. After talking with Darlene I realized her major highlight was bringing the MR resources room from the dark, windowless, second-floor corner down to where it is now. She advocated with her volunteers, that it be more front and centre - where the room was well-lit and the room would be more inviting and warm. This also would help MCCS in the promotion of MR to the public. People would notice the noisy, busy room as soon as they entered the building.
This leads us to where we are today.
The Baler Transition
The material donations that piled up here in Saskatchewan were boxed up, banded shut and sent to the MCCBC warehouse in Abbotsford. This would involve about eight or nine people to take a half day to load the semi-trailer by hand with all these cardboard boxes. There was plenty of joyous noise as those involved realized the difference these donations were going to make in someone's life.
Upon the arrival of the donations in BC, they would all have to be unloaded by hand, hauled into the warehouse, reopened and baled appropriately for the container.
Soon after my arrival here at MCCS, I questioned why we were creating work for the people in the BC warehouse, when we could do it at our own location, and increases the efficiency of our own warehouse.
The introduction of the second-hand, refurbished tobacco-baler from Kansas was the start of MCCS's move to become more efficient. This baler made its way up to our warehouse with God's blessing. When it arrived, a newly-assembled team was invited in to put it back together and see how it would operate. This team consisted of Ed Feick, Ben Thiessen, and Del Lennea.
In fine fashion, the response from the team was enthusiastic. With a little physical cranking and chains connecting all the moving parts, we had ourselves a baler.
This was significant because the containers used to move the material overseas could be packed more efficiently using 5.0 cubic foot balers. The calculations of cubic feet were made and the baler was marked accordingly, then just a few more supplies were needed, and we were ready to step into the future. Wrap, strapping, tape, labels, and cardboard for extra support were brought in and the first bale at the MCCS warehouse existed.
Since the team was now working with larger, heavier weight, a pallet jack was needed to simplify operations. Let the fund-raising begin.
A very short while later we had our jack, and now pallets were filled and wrapped so MCCS could ship out the Material Resources when they were needed.
However, as time waits for nobody, the team found the physical nature needed for baling was getting to be a bit much. When the idea of a hydraulic, electric baler was being thrown around, Del decided to follow up on it. He found one available for a cost of approximately $3500.
The fund-raising began and a few generous donors later, the current baler was ordered.
With the new baler in place, and less physical effort needed, MCCS was now working with maximum efficiency, in line with all the rest of the larger MCC network across the US and Canada. This is still where we are today, baling and shipping, all in the name of Christ.
Not only was the location and aesthetics of the MR room important, but also the direction MCCS was lead, was also modified slightly. MCCS now had more people becoming involved in MR and the need to find more opportunities became more important.
One of the areas MCCS started working towards was the education of the public on what was happening here, as well as what we stood for, and were about. We called this global education as the staff at MCCS would take turns leading groups throughout our building and giving them hands-on activity to do, or introducing them to programs that were happening here. All of the tours and activities were geared towards sharing the MCCS's philosophy and knowledge of how, and why, we helped the internationally oppressed in the "Name of Christ."
On October 25th, 2013, MCCS made it's first locally prepared direct shipment to a country Rep in Jordan. This shipment went to provide aid for the displaced people of Syria in Jordan. The shipping documentation and photos are provided with this report.
I mention this because it is one of my highlights in being part of MCCS at this time. We will see if our first direct shipment will gather any energy from our surrounding constituents, and who knows where that may lead in touching the lives of many with a little ray of hope or having a mustard seed of faith.
Currently the MR network is noticing a slight shift in how the larger MCC responds to natural disasters, or misplaced people. There seems to be more of a focus on sustaining the economy, where we can, and purchasing locally to help boost the local economy, and provide aid as well.
This approach works well in some countries, but not all of them. So there will always continue to be a need for helping oppressed people in countries where natural, or man-made disasters are taking place with shipments of humanitarian aid.
See a photo story of Saskatchewan Blankets from their start with the Eigenheim Church ladies, to their destination in Syria. Then read also a Thank You Note from Syria.

Pfuhlsborn ist ein Ortsteil der Stadt und Landgemeinde Bad Sulza im Landkreis Weimarer Land in Thüringen.
Lage
Der nördlichste Ortsteil der Gemeinde liegt etwas erhöht als Rundling auf der Ilm-Saale-Platte auf überlössten Muschelkalkverwittersboden. Die Kreisstraße 105 führt von der Landesstraße 1050 zum Dorf und verbindet es mit dem Umland. Pfuhlsborn ist ein Dorf mit Fernsicht zur Finne mit Eckartsburg, nach Apolda und Weimar bis hin zum Inselsberg im Thüringer Wald.
Geschichte
Um 822–842 wurde das Dorf erstmals urkundlich erwähnt und registriert. Die Kirche wurde nach einem Brand 1744 neu gebaut. Der Name ist germanischen Ursprungs (Born = Quelle). Im 14. Jahrhundert waren die Schenken von Tautenburg Herren über den Ort. Nach dem Aussterben dieses Adelsgeschlechts gehörte der Ort ab 1640 als Exklave zum kursächsischen Amt Tautenburg. Mit dem Wiener Kongress kam Pfuhlsborn 1815 zum Großherzogtum Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach und wurde dem Amt Dornburg angegliedert. Bis 1818 mussten die Bauern Frondienste leisten. Sie lösten die Dienste mit 4150 Talern ab.
Bei Pfuhlsborn liegt die schriftlich und archäologisch überlieferte Wüstung Reißen. Die Existenz einer weiteren Ortschaft Lützen ist umstritten.
Im April 1945 besetzten US-Truppen den Ort, nachdem sie ihn mit Artillerie beschossen hatten. Anfang Juli zog die Rote Armee ein, wodurch Pfuhlsborn Teil der SBZ und ab 1949 der DDR wurde. So fand ab 1952 die Kollektivierung der bäuerlichen Landwirtschaft statt. Heute bewirtschaftet ein Betrieb die Felder um Pfuhlsborn. Außerdem gibt es Gewerbetreibende, sodass es auch im Ort selber Möglichkeiten zur Arbeit gibt.

Xenorhynchopsis is an extinct genus of flamingo from the Pliocene to Pleistocene Lake Eyre basin of Australia. Initially described as species of stork, the two known Xenorhynchopsis species are vastly different in size. X. minor is the older and small of the two species, ranging from the Pliocene to Pleistocene and being described as having reached a size smaller than that of the lesser flamingo. X. tibialis meanwhile appears to have been restricted to Pleistocene strata and was notably bigger, being counted as one of the biggest known flamingos in the fossil record.
History
The fossils of Xenorhynchopsis were initially described by Charles Walter de Vis in 1905, who recognized two species he named Xenorhynchopsis minor and Xenorhynchopsis tibialis respectively. Possibly due to the fact that de Vis lacked flamingo material in his collection to compare the fossils to, he assigned the genus to the Ciconiidae, the storks. X. tibialis, the larger of the two species, was described on the basis of a humerus and a tibiotarsus found in the Lower Cooper Creek. The smaller species X. minor meanwhile is known from multiple remains of the humerus and tibiotarsus discovered in Pliocene to Pleistocene sediments of Lake Kanunka and the Lower Cooper Creek. Rich and colleagues, who published a revision of the Pliocene and Pleistocene flamingo fossils of material, write that the remains are too fragmentary to determine whether or not these species should be placed in the same genera as modern flamingos. They subsequently retain the genus names coined by de Vis for the sake of convenience.
Description
The traits that distinguish Xenorhynchopsis from other flamingo genera are deemed questionable by Rich and colleagues. The distal end of the tibiotarsus is described as deeper than it is wide with a shaft that flares less towards the distal end when compared to extant species. Towards the distal end the tendinal canal has larger openings, another trait shared by both species and setting them apart from modern flamingos. Additionally, the internal condyle lacks a notch in both species.
The fossil material of X. tibialis resembles the black-necked stork in size and is larger than that of extant flamingos. Rich and colleagues write that only Phoeniconotius exceeds Xenorhynchopsis tibialis in size. X. minor meanwhile is somewhat smaller, if stouter, than the lesser flamingo and approximately in the same size range as Phoenicopterus stocki and Phoenicopterus minutus.
Paleobiology
During the Pliocene at least three flamingo species existed at Lake Kanunka, Xenorhynchopsis minor, Phoeniconaias proeses and what may be the modern greater flamingo. Xenorhynchopsis tibialis appears to have been limited to the Pleistocene and possibly died out when the inland lakes these birds depended on dried up, leading to the local extinction of flamingos in Australia. All four species could be found in the sediments of Lower Cooper Creek, however due to them appearing in different localities, many of which lack precise information regarding their age, it is uncertain if they actually occurred alongside one another. According to Camens and Worthy, footprints found in the Tirari Formation may have been left by Xenorhynchopsis minor, as they appear to be too large to be attributed to P. proeses and too small to have belonged to X. tibialis. The greater flamingo is however another possible candidate.

As you have likely heard, we are trying to pass a bill in the U.S. Congress that would address current barriers to Medicare reimbursement for radiologist assistants. The bill is the Medicare Access to Radiology Care Act, or MARCA. This email is to urge all R.T.'s to contact their representatives and ask for their support. Below is a document for a brief remark by you, to be sent on to your Representative in the U.S. House of Representatives.
If you don't know your representative, follow the instructions below. Your letter is addressed to your Representative, but the email should be sent to their legislative aide for health issues.
Insert your zip+4 (or your member of the House of Representatives name) then click their name then "staff." You want to send the email to the HLA. If that position is vacant, send it to the Legislative Director. Their email is first name . last [email protected].
Note we are not sending messages to the Senate now, only your Representative.
Fill in the highlighted portions of the attached letter below. Remember to remove the grey highlighting. Replace the grey with appropriate text.
Put the letter to your Representative on your letter-head, if you can.
Any question should be directed to the ARRT Government Affairs department at (651) 687-0048 ext. 3138.
I am a Registered Technologist (R.T.) working in [CITY, STATE] and I [ELABORATE ON YOUR PRACTICE AND/OR YOUR TIME IN THE COMMUNITY]. I am writing in support of H.R. 1148, the Medicare Access to Radiology Care Act, or MARCA. This bipartisan bill will address Medicare's lack of recognition of the Radiologist Assistant (RA) profession and the patient access problems caused by that failure. I want you to know that I wholeheartedly endorse this legislation and encourage you to cosponsor this bill.
The RA profession was created in the mid-1990's in response to an increased demand and need for complex medical imaging services and a shortage of radiologists. All stakeholders in the radiology community - radiologists, technologists, and certifying bodies - collaborated to develop a comprehensive, advanced education and training program for technologists so that they could perform radiologic assessments and procedures (excluding interpretations) that traditionally were performed by radiologists. Twenty-nine states license or otherwise recognize RAs. The RA level is the next step for R.T.s who are interested in pursuing additional education and training in order to expand the scope of services they can provide to patients in need of medical imaging.
RAs always practice under the on-site supervision of a radiologist. They make radiology practices more efficient. They free up the radiologist to spend more time on interpretations and consultations, which enhances patient safety and improves outcomes. RAs spend more time with the patient, empowering the patient to become better informed about his or her procedure. They can reduce wait times and increase patient satisfaction.
Unfortunately, Medicare has not kept pace with this important development in the field of radiology; the law has not been amended to specifically recognize RAs as Medicare providers. This failure means that RAs are not permitted to provide to Medicare beneficiaries the services they are trained and allowed to perform under state law. By not allowing radiology practices and departments to make effective use of RAs, Medicare is promoting inefficiency in health care delivery, jeopardizing timely access to diagnostic and interventional procedures for Medicare beneficiaries (particularly in rural areas), and ignoring potential cost savings. RAs are losing their jobs, and university RA training programs are on the verge of suspending or terminating their programs. R.T.s who were considering additional education and training to become an RA are witnessing the swift depletion of RA jobs due to the lack of Medicare recognition of the RA profession. This situation eliminates professional growth opportunities for RTs and sends radiology back to a pre-1990's state where there is an insufficient number of mid-level professionals available to assist radiologists in providing high quality medical imaging services.
H.R. 1148 would correct this problem. It would amend the Medicare statute to explicitly recognize RAs. State law would dictate scope of practice and supervision requirements. Services performed by an RA would be billed by the radiologist but would be reimbursed at a lower rate (85% of the physician rate). This would enable Medicare to realize savings and should ensure that there is no adverse impact on the federal budget.
This legislation has no opposition and is supported by all stakeholders in the medical imaging community, including radiologists. It preserves medical education programs, jobs, and patient access to medical imaging services. And it will not increase the federal deficit. I hope I can count on you to cosponsor H.R. 1148. Thank you for your consideration. | {

Phishing attacks against mobile devices rise 85 percent annually

People can talk about zero-day exploits, IoT botnets and APTs all day long, but often times the simplest approach for attackers remains the most effective.
Phishing, which has long been the top attack vector against all manner of targets, is as pervasive and effective as ever. Hackers are increasingly targeting ubiquitous mobile devices and victims are readily falling for it. The rate at which victims are falling for phishing attacks on mobile has increased and average of 85 percent every year since 2011, according to new research from the mobile security company Lookout.
"Mobile devices have opened a profitable new window of opportunity for criminals executing phishing attacks," the researchers wrote. "Attackers are successfully circumventing existing phishing protection to target the mobile device. These attacks are highlighting security shortcomings and exposing sensitive data and personal information at an alarming rate."
The numbers add up. More than ever, internet users' most important device — for work and personal data — is mobile. Over 66 percent of emails are opened first on a mobile device, according to a recent report.
It's harder to spot phishing websites on mobile devices compared to a desktop computer which puts the most important device in people's lives at a distinct disadvantage. As a result, mobile users are historically more likely to fall for phishing attacks.
The threat is not limited to email. SMS phishing attacks are both common and effective with over 25 percent of targets clicking malicious links from spoofed phone numbers that falsely appear to be from the victim's area code, according to the new Lookout research. Facebook Messenger is another phishing attack vector researchers have seen used recently against mobile devices.
The most famous phishing attack against a mobile user might be Pegasus, the surveillance software built by Israel's NSO Group (now known as Q Cyber Technologies). The company sold Pegasus to the United Arab Emirates, which used it to spy on Ahmed Mansoor, a pro-democracy dissident in the country. The attack included zero-day exploits and is estimated to have cost upwards of $1 million.
Mansoor didn't fall victim to this particular attack — he is perhaps the most spied-on man on the planet — but it illustrates just how valuable and powerful mobile phishing can be.
Phishing's effectiveness across all manner of devices is helping to push forward "passwordless" security keys, like the new product announced by Yubico that supports an open standard for passwordless authentication.
Major vendors including Google, Mozilla and Microsoft have announced support for the new standard, which is no surprise when you consider that Microsoft spends $2 million a month on help desk calls for users changing passwords.
Google's own internal policy states that every employee owns a Yubikey for their work accounts.

The Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program is the largest group practice HMO in the United States (Friedman et al., 2000). Kaiser Permanente Northern California serves the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Area, Santa Clara and Sacramento Counties, and counties north of San Francisco. Kaiser Permanente Southern California serves residents in seven southern California counties: Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, San Diego, Riverside, Kern, and Imperial. Kaiser Permanente Northwest (KPNW) operates in the Portland, Oregon-Vancouver, Washington area and in two smaller communities, Salem, Oregon and Long-view-Kelso, Washington, each about 50 miles distant. Each of these regional entities operates its own health research department and manages its own databases (Friedman et al., 2000; Petitti, 2001). | {

Calibre, the free and open source e-book computer software application suite has reached v1.6 with handy mark-book feature.
This allows you to select books from your calibre library manually and mark them. This 'mark' will remain until you restart calibre, or clear the marks. You can easily work with only the marked subset of books by right clicking the Mark Books button. To use this feature, go to Preferences->Toolbars and add the 'Mark Books' tool to the main toolbar.
Conversion: Add an option to not condense CSS rules for margin, padding, border, etc. Option is under the Look & Feel section of the conversion dialog.
ebook-meta: Add an –identifier option to set identifiers.
Fix a locking error when composite columns containing formats are used and formats are added/deleted.
EPUB Output: Do not strip <object> tags with type application/svg+xml in addition to those that use image/svg+xml.
HTMLZ Output: Fix long titles causing error when converting on windows.
E-book viewer: Use the default font size setting for the dictionary view as well.
HTML Input: Images linked by the poster attribute of the <video> tag are now recognized and processed.
DOCX Input: Fix erorr when converting docx files that have numbering defined with no associated character style.
sudo python -c "import sys; py3 = sys.version_info > 2; u = __import__('urllib.request' if py3 else 'urllib', fromlist=1); exec(u.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read()); main()"
It automatically download the source code and install it on your system.
This worked smootly on my new mint 16 instalation. Thanks! | {

Dry shampoos have been taking the beauty world by storm. And still, most people don't know about it.
Ultimately, in the Philippines – because of its climate, it is a common occurrence to take a bath twice or once a day and it means washing the hair ever so often. But washing the hair repeatedly for a day, sometimes, is not the right thing to do. Washing the hair with liquid shampoos and conditioner also washes away the beneficial oils the hair needed.
This is where the dry shampoos come in handy. Instead of rinsing off hair every time, you can use dry shampoos in between. A dry shampoo is not a liquid substance but a powder oil-absorbing solution. It helps to maintain a good hair day even if one decided not to wash his/her hair in a day. It can be used in between the weeks to help the hair retain the natural and essential oils it needed to restore or maintain a healthy hair. | {

The Use and Fate of Pesticides in Vegetable-based Agro-ecosystems in Ghana reviews current knowledge on pesticides use in vegetable farming in Ghana and establishes the fate of pesticides in situ in tropical vegetable-based agro-ecosystems as well as their environmental and public health impacts on selected population groups. A field survey showed that vegetable farmers often spray pesticides on prophylactic basis due to lack of information. Although some farmers may be aware of pesticide hazards, adequate protection is hardly taken to minimize risks. About 70% of exposed farmers had a reduction of 30% or more in whole blood acetylcholinesterase activity. About 95% of the farmers interviewed reported symptoms attributable to pesticide exposure. Water, waterbed sediment, and vegetable crops were checked for residues of the pesticides monitored on the farmers' fields. Residues detected in water and waterbed sediment indicated that these have come from runoff from vegetable fields and that the measured levels were transient. Pesticide residue levels detected in five vegetable crop types (tomato, cabbage, pepper, onion, and eggplants) were correlated to the minimal risk levels (MRLs) set by the United States Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). Mean intakes of residues by 22- to 75-year old adult farmers were found to be low and did not seem to be associated with health risk. Data on persistent pesticide residues in farmers' breast milk and blood serum indicated the presence of DDTs, dieldrin, HCB, and HCHs. When daily intakes of DDTs and HCHs to infants through breastfeeding were estimated, some farmers accumulated these compounds in breast milk above the threshold for adverse effects, which raise concerns on children health. Evidence was found for persistence of isomers of endosulfan and its sulfate metabolite in tomato cropped soil and plant tissues. However, the residue concentration in tomato fruits decreased to a level below the Codex MRL given a two-week pre-harvest interval during which no application of the chemical is done. The publication concludes that successful action to reduce the negative impact of pesticides requires sustained, low cost, and well-targeted training interventions. Students and scientists in the fields of environmental chemistry and/or science, farmers, agricultural extension officers and environmental and health regulatory agencies will find this book very useful. | {

The Likelihood of Melham-Almandin Tandem to Win 2017 Melbourne Cup
There's no denying that Almandin is one of the best, if not the best racing horse in the world. Having proved his prowess in the art of racing after winning the 2016 Melbourne Cup, this stallion sure got what it takes to repeat history in this year's much-anticipated event.
And that's just the opportunity that Golden Slipper winner, Ben Melham, was waiting for. It has been some time since the question of who's going to ride the premiere horse in this year's Melbourne Cup is asked.
Now, there's finally an answer to that question as it has finally been confirmed that Ben Melham will be teaming up with Almandin.
Almandin is in Great Shape
The 8-year-old horse has just been weighed 61kg and is looking forward to its MSC Signs Handicap appearance on Aug. 26. This is a 2040 meter-long handicap race which is worth $150,000.
It sure is a great way to prepare for the bigger event this coming November. The race tournament would serve as a precursor and at the same time as an assessment of the overall style and capability of Almandin.
However, it's not just seen as a preparatory race but also as something that would put the horse in the Hall of Fame of horseback racing. Why? It's because a back-to-back win might just be looming over the horizon as Almandin's jockey had his fair share of success during the 2017 Spring Carnival held last April 20 to 22.
And take note, there's his victory during last year's Melbourne Cup! Putting all of these things into consideration, there sure is a big chance for Almandin to get another shot at victory. Almandin drawing the barrier five is surely a good sign that he's on the right path to repeating his triumphant glory.
Reports have it that the category where the German-bred horse will be competing is now worth $6 million. He'll be racing in Group 1 against some of the finest racers in the world on a track would be 3200 meters long.
Melham's Shot to Success
Bel Melham is at the peak of his career as he's on his way to making another possible run for a victory in the 2017 Melbourne Cup. It sure is a very good thing for him to continue working with Lloyd Williams and Robert Hickmott who are Almandin's owner and trainer respectively.
But it wasn't an easy catch for him as he needed to prove that he's got a special talent in horse racing. And that's just what he did when he rode Assign into victory in the 2017 Sydney Autumn Carnival'S Group 3 race.
It was a humble $150,000 win for them. But it's a great way to grab the chance to ride the possibly greatest horse in the racing world – Almandin. And then there's Melham's memorable win during the 2000 meters Ranvet Stakes held last March 18.
Though he just finished third-place, it was enough to cement his name as one of the finest jockeys in the sport. He rode The United States during that tournament. After that, Melham continued his streak of fortune with She Will Reign in the $3.5 million Longines Golden Slipper event where he competed in the 1200-meter Group 1 category.
With these being said, Ben Melham sure has created an impressive resume. This is enough for him to take the also achieving Almandin into another possible victory this coming November. You can check out November's much-anticipated event at the 2017 Melbourne Cup page by Aussiefreebet.com.au.
Almandin and Competitors
Though Almandin has had his fair share of victories over the past year, we can't deny the fact that he's already aging. Now at eight years of age, he's sure got a lot of extra work to do. And that might just be the reason why he's not acing the betting rankings.
Pacodali is currently the favorite bet in the upcoming tournament with a strong $3.70 odds placed on him. Second Bullet, who's trained by Danny O-Brien, gets the second spot with $4.80. He's succeeded by Hans Holbein at $5.50.
However, Almandin stays strong as he takes the fourth spot with $6.50 odds. Killarney Kid and Bling Dynasty who has $7 and $7.50 odds respectively take the next positions.

The BJP knows very well how to make friends, and also know how to keep the friendship-zone in a good humour. NDA will stay intact and is expecting to sweep all the 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar; this was Amit Shah, the BJP chief's clear message to the critics of BJP and its opponents.
Recently, BJP chief Amit Shah paid a visit to Bihar's Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to ensure smooth seat-sharing process for the ensuing 2019 Lok Sabha polls and silenced the opponents.
This is Amit Shah's first visit to Bihar since Nitish Kumar's JDU joined the National Democratic alliance in July last year.
Nitish Kumar reciprocated the gesture and did not turn down the hopes with which Amit Shah approached him. Not-with-standing the conversation over 2019's Lok Sabha seat-sharing issues the duo where caught with smiling faces, rather it would be better to say, Shah and Kumar projected a strong image of bonhomie.
The ice-breaking part took place during the breakfast session at a state guest house. There was no trace of bitterness, as the duo had breakfast together along with a number of BJP leaders.
Shah and Kumar, again met for dinner, and after that they held a long meeting, where they were expected to set the seat-sharing strategies. Finally, the 'all is well' message came right soon after, as Nitish's JD(U) is now much keen on getting to contest as many seats as BJP.
For the last few months, state leaders from both the parties have tried to project themselves as 'a big brother' over the alliance issue, and even issued hordes of statements on seat sharing issues for the upcoming election.
Last week the chief minister of Bihar had stated that his party will take the final decision on seat sharing after observing the BJP's move. But after BJP chief's visit JDU seem to have settled the alliance over the seat sharing issue with BJP.
Entire Patna had turned into a sea of saffron, as the BJP functionaries and workers from across the state assembled there with banners, posters and flags. After landing at the Jayaprakash Narayan International Airport Shah was welcomed with garlands and flowers by a large number of BJP workers.
Amit Shah is slated to interact with around 10,000 ground-level party workers in Bihar, who head pooling booths throughout the state. The BJP chief will also hold meetings and discussions with party leaders and workers from Bihar to strategize for the upcoming 2019 General Election. | {

School tax relief program retooled
STAR tweaked so more people get it from rebate checks instead of tax bills
JOE MAHONEY
Press-Republican
ALBANY — New York's property taxes are not only among the highest in the nation, but they're also complicated.
This year, they are becoming even more complex, due to new wrinkles in the state's school tax rebate (STAR) program for homeowners that were stitched into the state budget.
STAR has been in effect since 1999 and now drives some $3.4 billion a year in exemptions and rebates to property owners.
There are two types of STAR — "basic," designed for homeowners whose annual income is $500,000 or less; and "enhanced," aimed at homeowners who are at least 65 years of age and whose income is $86,300 per year or less.
Enhanced STAR provides rebates of about $1,400 per year, on average, to eligible seniors, significantly higher than the average rebate under Basic STAR.
First $30,000
Initially — and for many homeowners still — the STAR saving showed up as a reduction in a homeowner's school tax bill, with the state reimbursing the school districts for the amount of savings that went to a taxpayer.
The first $30,000 of a home's full value was exempted by $30,000 under Basic STAR. For Enhanced STAR, the program exempts $68,700.
The program became more complicated in 2016 when the state decided that a better approach would be mail rebate checks instead of having the savings show on tax bills.
New Yorkers who purchased their houses in 2015 were put into the check program, while those who owned their homes before then and qualified for STAR could still get the savings on their tax bill.
There's a catch
In this year's budget STAR changed yet again, with the Cuomo administration pushing for amendments that are designed to get more homeowners to opt for the credit program, providing them with the checks.
The administration says the credit system is run "more efficiently" and "gives the state a better look at who is receiving the benefit to help prevent abuse of the system."
Homeowners earning $250,000 or less who get the Basic STAR savings on their tax bill, as well as seniors who qualify for the Enhanced STAR, can continue on that path — but there is a catch.
By not electing to go with the credit checks, they won't get an annual savings of up to 2% that the state will add to the checks of those getting the credit sent to them.
Another important change this year is that those who get the BASIC Star savings on their tax bill and earn more than $250,000 but less than $500,000 will need to switch out of the local exemption on their school taxes and opt for the state rebate in order to preserve the advantage.
While the initial rationale for STAR was to cushion taxpayers from New York's high property taxes, some say the abrupt changes are bound to leave homeowners confused over the amendments.
David Friedfel, director of state studies for Citizens Budget Commission, a watchdog organization, predicted many taxpayers will be greatly displeased by the new approach.
"For people who currently get the STAR benefit as an exemption on their property, if they don't make a change, their STAR benefit will be frozen in time, and their savings will be frozen in time at the same amount," he explained.
"But if they switch to the new program, where they get a check back, then it will grow by 2% a year."
Quite a hurdle
One major hitch for those who opt for the credit checks is that they will have to pay their full school tax bill upfront to get the credit.
Coming up with that money could be a challenge for people struggling to meet their obligations, especially seniors living on fixed incomes, said Timothy Surpitski, the Clinton County assessor who is assigned to the City of Plattsburgh and other municipalities.
He said that since the Enhanced Star benefit for his local taxpayers is $1,474, that means a homeowner would have to set aside $122 a month in order to have enough to pay the pre-credit tax bill.
"For some of them, that is quite a hurdle," he said, noting the school tax bills in the city are sent out in July, earlier than most parts of the state.
Thus, homeowners would have to wait longer for the rebate to show up in mailboxes.
Fiscal gimmickry
Surpitski said the 2% extra would amount to about $25 for those getting Enhanced STAR.
He predicted some seniors may forego the credit in order to get the savings upfront.
"STAR began as a way to help taxpayers, but it's become a big mess," the assessor said.
E.J. McMahon, who served as a deputy tax commissioner in the administration of former Gov. George Pataki and now is the research director for the Empire Center for Public Policy, an Albany think tank, said STAR has always been about fiscal gimmickry and is going further in that direction.
"It would have been a better idea to simply freeze the STAR benefit rather than sneakily convert it into a credit," he said.
"The policy explanation that they 'want to track it better' is just smoke."
Better off without?
Critics of the program, among them McMahon and Friedfel, see STAR as a budget gimmick because it allows state officials to say they are holding growth in state spending at 2% or less.
That is because the STAR credits are counted as a state expense.
Friedfel said the program effectively subsidizes wealthy school districts, contending New York would be better off without it.
Mailing coming
A spokesman for the State Department of Taxation and Finance, James Gazzale, said his agency is preparing a mailing to explain the STAR changes to taxpayers.
"Registrations for the switch to the credit program will be accepted for three years from the income tax filing deadline for the year that the credit covers," he said.
Credit savings this year will be subject to a 2% cap, while the exemption savings cannot increase, according to the agency.
"In the typical place where the school district levies taxes on September 1, property owners would need to switch from the STAR exemption to the credit by August 1 to receive the credit this year," the agency explained.
Veteran Sen. Jim Seward, R-Milford, said he is pressing state tax officials to do a better job educating taxpayers about the new options under STAR.
While the program, in its infancy, was "one of the best things the Legislature has ever done," the new changes threaten to "erode some of the benefits," Seward said.
"There is a need for a real public information campaign to inform people so they can make the best judgment as to whether they just want to continue with the current exemption or switch over to the tax credit, with the check coming," the senator said.
Property owners who want to check their exemption status may contact their local assessor and consult with the state tax agency.

Michigan State baseball stadium heat part of hot start to season?
Spartans torching opponents; high-tech coils under Kobs Field beating cold
Carlos Monarrez
Things are heating up for the Michigan State baseball team. And that's not just because of the new, high-tech heating system at Kobs Field.
After sweeping Rutgers in the Big Ten opener last weekend, MSU's 18-3 record marked its best 21-game start since 1972. The Spartans recently were ranked by Baseball America for the first time since 1988, and they have one of the conference's best hitters in Jordan Zimmerman and an excellent pitching staff.
"We're very happy where we're at right now," coach Jake Boss said. "We had a pretty good feeling going into the year that we would pitch well and we would defend well. The unknown was the offense, just because we had so many new faces. We had eight guys drafted off last year's team."

The Spartans (18-4, 3-0) have a lot to be happy about as they start a weekend series tonight with visiting perennial top-25 team Oregon (11-9 entering Thursday).
One of the players keeping a smile on Boss' face has been Zimmerman, a junior transfer from Mesa (Ariz.) Community College. The designated hitter and first baseman extended his hitting streak to 15 games in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to Oakland. He leads the Big Ten with a .429 average, and MSU's .321 team average trails only Minnesota.
On the mound, MSU leads the Big Ten with a 2.31 ERA, and reliever Dakota Mekkes, a 6-foot-7 redshirt sophomore from Jenison, was named conference pitcher of the week after he allowed one walk and three hits while picking up two saves in 42/3 innings against Rutgers.
Mekkes' fastball tops out at 91 m.p.h., Boss said, but he attacks hitters with a deceptive arm action.
"He's a horse up there on top of that mound," Boss said. "There's arms and legs coming at you from all different angles, and then the ball shoots out. That can be difficult for hitters to pick up sometimes."
One of the significant reasons behind the Spartans' scorching start has been right under their feet. A system of heating ribbons was installed 3-9 inches below the baseball and softball infields before this season that gave both teams earlier playing time during colder months.
"The mild winter certainly helped," Boss said, "but we were able to get the frost out of the ground and get that field to a point at the end of January where we could actually get out and play on it."
The Spartans were able to have an intrasquad game Jan. 29 at Kobs Field, three weeks before their season opener Feb. 19 at Greenville. S.C.
"Because we're able to prepare a little bit differently, it's allowed us to be a little bit more ready weekend one, going outside maybe for not the first time," Boss said. "As opposed to years past, when our first fly ball that we see is usually in batting practice the day of the first game. It's been a tremendous advantage."

The One Century Lease: China to Control Australia's Gateway to the Pacific
A Chinese company now owns part of Australia – what's new?
The latest perceived threat to Australia's security is the 99-year lease of part of the Port of Darwin to Chinese corporation Landbridge Group. The Northern Territory government signed the $500 million deal late last year and it has sparked a whirlwind of criticism over threats to national security ranging from intelligence collection, to threats to Australia's independence and even challenges to US hegemony.
The controversy has garnered high-level international attention: US President Barack Obama rebuked the sale; US Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage was "stunned"; Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was initially "aghast" according to The Sydney Morning Herald; and Australian Strategic Policy Institute Executive Director Peter Jennings has called the decision a "deep strategic mistake". Conservative newspaper The Australian and other media sources such as The Financial Review have been leading public furor over the agreement, reporting Landbridge's alleged close links to the People's Liberation Army, Chinese militia units and a "senior Communist Party official".
Critics are concerned that Chinese control over this strategic asset in the Pacific feeds in to the PRC's global strategic aims and bid for regional domination. However, the massive backlash over the sale of the port and its threats to national security have been both overhyped and misguided, and highlight a growing distaste for Chinese investment in Australia more generally.
Chinese infrastructure investment in Australia is "hardly a secret"
Despite the heavy criticism and media reports, the agreement has solid backing from many departments with Trade Minister Andrew Robb stressing the investment as crucial in developing the port infrastructure and serving to connect Australia with Asia. Prime Minister Turnbull pointed out that massive Chinese investment in infrastructure such as this is no secret. Chinese foreign investment in Australia was worth more than $8.3 billion in 2014 according to a KPMG report, with almost fifty per cent of the investment concentrated in commercial real estate and infrastructure – a percentage forecast to increase.
China specialist and visiting fellow at the Australian National University Geoff Wade warns that there is a "trend" emerging in strategic Chinese infrastructure investments that could serve more than purely commercial motives. There is indeed a trend emerging – China has been on a path of rapid fire acquisition and investment in key regional infrastructure such as ports, dams, highways, power generators and railways - but again, it is not a new one. These private-sector investments are in line with the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) ambitious and very public efforts to establish economic connectors throughout Asia and foster their 'One belt, One road' ambitions. The idea that these large private corporations may have possible links to the state is not surprising and is still characteristic of other nations whose economic development was heavily state-led, such as the Chaebols in Korea and the Keiretsu in Japan. Reports by The Australian that the billionaire owner of Landbridge is a "senior" CCP official should also be taken lightly, as the words 'billionaire' and 'senior official' do not fare well under China's anti-corruption campaign.
Port Darwin a strategic gateway to the Pacific?
Darwin harbour represents a key strategic outpost for Australia to access the Pacific and is home to a number of military bases which host more than 100 naval ships per year. At a parliamentary hearing regarding security concerns over the lease of Port Darwin, it was suggested that Chinese control of the port could be used to collect intelligence on Australian and US warships and strategies in the Pacific. The Australian Secretary of Defence Dennis Richardson labelled these security concerns as "absurd" and "alarmist nonsense".
The Department of Defence was consulted about the privatisation of the port, expressed no concerns and signed a comprehensive access agreement. Moreover, under Australian law if national security is threatened, the military has the rights to take control of the port if necessary.
The potential for Landbridge to undertake operational control of the port has also been drastically exaggerated – the company has been leased just two wharves to implement their multimillion dollar infrastructure development. Yet critics have argued that growing economic control is a precursor to strategic regional domination – so should we be concerned about China's presence in the Pacific?
China is dominating the global shipping industry and already has far reaching access and a large presence along the maritime Silk Road in Asia, as well as investing increasing amounts of foreign aid into the vulnerable islands of the Pacific. China has now replaced Australia as the largest donor of development assistance to Fiji and other islands. Against the backdrop of sweeping foreign investment by Chinese companies not only in Australia but globally, the leasing of two wharves of Port Darwin to Landbridge is of little significance when placed in the context of China's larger ambitions to develop regional infrastructure and create 'one road' of prosperity using land and bridges.

Submissions for variant NM_020631.5(PLEKHG5):c.274G>A (p.Val92Ile) (rs371516662)
GeneDx RCV000236807 SCV000293040 uncertain significance not provided 2015-07-23 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The V92I variant has not been published as pathogenic, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. The V92I variant was not observed with any significant frequency in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project. The V92I variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. However, this substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic or a rare benign variant.
Invitae RCV000645436 SCV000767181 uncertain significance Distal spinal muscular atrophy, autosomal recessive 4; Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, recessive intermediate c 2018-09-28 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces valine with isoleucine at codon 92 of the PLEKHG5 protein (p.Val92Ile). The valine residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between valine and isoleucine. This variant is present in population databases (rs371516662, ExAC 0.009%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with PLEKHG5-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 245867). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. | {

UK Retail Businesses to Benefit from Surge in Online Delivery and 'Click-and-Collect' Sales
New data reports that 40% of non-food sales in the UK will be made online by 2025, with instore purchases declining to just 60%
Shane Donnelly March 15, 2016
UK online delivery and 'click-and-collect' sales will double over the next 10 years and will determine which retail businesses succeed and fail, according to a report by OC&C Strategy Consultants.
The findings suggest that, unless retailers tackle the economy of the 'last mile', their margins could fall by as much as 1.5%.
The data suggests that 40% of all non-food sales in Britain will be made online by 2025, with instore purchases declining to just 60%.
Customers are also increasingly looking to receive their purchases faster; between 2013 and 2015 the proportion of shoppers opting for next-day delivery grew by 50%.
With 60% of online baskets abondoned due to delivery-related issues, retailers are being urged to take action to improve their e-commerce offering and customer service.
Anita Balchandani, partner and head of retail at OC&C Strategy Consultants, said:
"Being able to offer predictable delivery slots, free next-day delivery and an accessibly priced same-day service is becoming the norm.
"The challenge retailers face is how to meet these changing expectations while making the economics work for their business
"Retailers should start to rethink activities like warehousing, picking and packing and delivery in order to make them more cost effective."

How We Roll, Dec. 11: will we ever have a true car-free city?
Things to read whilst transiting: the ultimate guide to winning your white elephant gift exchange on the Five Thirty Eight blog. I ended up with a Rudolph mug after someone 'stole' a really cool marshmallow gun in a white elephant last week.
Very nice landing page with many short and digestion-friendly articles on the ongoing summit in Paris. Two tidbits worthy of mention: scientists don't believe the emerging deal will limit the average global rise in temperatures enough to prevent "catastrophic" damage from global warming.
And the theory that all those melting glaciers/icebergs will trigger a new ice age? Don't bet it, says the Old Grey Lady.

A number of European cities are working on proposals that would take roads from cars and give them to pedestrians and cyclists. Hamburg is one of them: "Hamburg, on the other hand, is currently making waves by enforcing an auto-ban on a number of urban roads to develop a network of route for pedestrians and bikes that link parks and open spaces together.
In North America, there's talk of Toronto maybe getting a car-free street during rush hour. But that's about it, although a number of cities are expanding transit and bike lanes.
Coverage of yesterday's incident along Colorado Avenue — a truck turned left in front of a test train. The train runs down the middle of Colorado Avenue between 4th and 17th Street in Santa Monica, a street-running stretch in which there are no crossing gates and train operators follow traffic and train signals. There is testing scheduled from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday next week.
Perhaps most troublesome is that there are more lower income households and middle income households have seen their accumulated wealth largely dampened by the Great Recession. Upper income households…not so much (surprise!).
Why am I including the headline here? Seems to me that a city with a lot of good mobility options — including transit — provides both a safety net for lower income households AND a way for other households to save money if they either don't have to drive as much or perhaps need one less car.
From the Dept. of Go Metro: Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band are playing the Expo Line-adjacent Sports Arena on March 15 and 17. For those hoping to get tickets this morning, good luck! To my millennial friends: once upon a time at rock-n-roll shows, musicians played electric guitars, drums and saxophones — back before they got PowerBooks. If you have some spare coin, Springsteen is worth a look-see.
Dec. 9: Uber's latest biggish idea, health clinics at transit stops?
Please explain how a fare system that costs $3.50 just to do a roundtrip to the neighborhood supermarket to do grocery shopping or their minimum wage job close by is helpful for low and middle income earners, while the wealthy who are able to afford homes way out in the suburbs pays the same $3.50 to do a 20 mile roundtrip (also getting free parking to boot) to earn $50,000+ or more in a cushy white collar office job?
Transit is good. You gotta do something about the price to consumer first though. Lower the cost for shorter trips, increase the cost for longer trips. It's only common sense.
All idealism aside is that there is no such thing as 100% automobile-free in any city, inclusive of the Hamburg example that has been cited. You cannot for example, get rid of commercial vans and trucks which are used in all sorts of trade (how do you expect Mike Diamond to come to fix clogged drains? Carry all his tools and gear on a bike?), emergency vehicles, delivery vehicles, taxi cabs, food trucks, and recently, the growing popularity of ride-share services which if banned, will face significant backlash from Millennials today who embraces its concept.
Trade shows and sports venues are also heavily auto dependent – not to go to these events, but are used extensively by those who prepare for them. Such aspects are major economic contributors here where sports games, concerts, and industry trade shows still would need cars and trucks to bring in all the freight needed to hold such events. People can certain use transit to go to these events, but the events themselves can't be held or prepared without the need of autos.
And my skepticism says that politicians themselves are not going to give up their own cars either and even if passed, they will make certain that they'll include exemptions so that the law doesn't apply to them.
And the flip side of European examples is that you also have Asian countries which offers just as good transit mobility options without a need for a blanket ban on cars. If you reduce the number of personal cars (certainly possible), you can't say to people that they can't use motorcycles and scooters instead, like Taipei. What's the basis of not allowing motorcycles and scooters? You can't say that they aren't eco-friendly when they get much better gas mileage than even hybrid vehicles, and just like electric cars, electric bikes are now on the market that don't require fossil fuels at all so that throws out the eco-libs arguments there and you can't say that these vehicles hog up space as they're not much a space hog compared to a car.
Oh, you can have a car-free city.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfama (In this district, the slopes are too steep for automobiles, and the very narrow streets often turn into staircases; things *have* to be brought in by other means than cars).
It's not exactly *desirable*. Cars are useful. It's an excess of cars which is problematic.
Pretty much the same thing George W Bush would have done?
I'm voting for Bernie this time. | {

Since 12 March 2012, the CIES Football Observatory has published weekly posts analysing professional football from different angles. The Weekly Post aims to make available to the general public the key findings of the multiple approaches which have been developed by our research team. These include the demographic analysis of squads, technical studies of performance at both individual and collective levels and the economic valuation of professional footballers, for example. Please write to [email protected] to suggest future case studies which could be of interest to you.
Weekly Post 407
Global rankings of best "take on" players
Issue 407 of the CIES Football Observatory Weekly Post presents the players who have performed best in the area of take on over the past year on the basis of an exclusive index based on 100 taking into account the frequency of successful dribbles and crosses, playing time, as well as the sporting level of matches played. Ousmane Dembélé (Barcelona) tops the list among attacking players and João Cancelo (Manchester City) among defending ones.
Chelsea crushes the competition
Issue 406 of the CIES Football Observatory's Weekly Post presents the 50 clubs that spent the most on the player market during the current and last summer's transfer windows. Chelsea crushes the competition with €555 million invested (including add-ons) to acquire 15 footballers. This is more than double the amount spent by the second biggest spender: Manchester United (€272 million for 7 players).
Minutes by club-trained: Athletic Club shows the way
The 405th edition of the CIES Football Observatory Weekly Post ranks 417 teams from 27 European top divisions according to the percentage of minutes played by club-trained footballers, i.e. present for at least three years between the seasons of their 15th and 21st birthdays. The highest proportions were measured for the Slovakians of MŠK Žilina in total (73.3% of minutes by 16 players trained) and Athletic Club in the big-5 (56.6%; 13).
Market opportunities: value for money players
Issue number 404 of the CIES Football Observatory Weekly Post presents sixty players whose contracts end next June with the highest Impact Score in their age group. The French Evan N'Dicka (Eintracht Frankfurt) tops the list among footballers who have not yet turned 23, the Spaniard Marco Asensio (Real Madrid) for those aged between 24 and 26, as well as Adrien Rabiot (Juventus) for players between 27 and 30 years of age.
Bellingham tops transfer value table
Jude Bellingham heads the list of the 100 players worldwide with the top estimated transfer value according to the statistical model exclusively developed by the CIES Football Observatory research team. His owner club, Borussia Dortmund, could potentially earn up to €208m by transferring the 19-year-old English prodigy. With Bellingham's contract running out in June 2025, this is probably the transfer window during which the Germans could make the biggest profit.
Tribute to the champions!
Issue number 402 of the CIES Football Observatory Weekly Post pays tribute to the Argentine players who took part in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers or final tournament. Rodrigo de Paul played the most games in total: 23, including all seven in Qatar. Nicolás Otamendi, on the other hand, leads the way in terms of minutes played (2,023).

Q: How to understand the pointer usage in R's .C interface usage I am a beginner for R extensions. I have problems in understanding the usage of .C interface. Take this code as an example:
void cconv(int *l, double *x, int *n, double *s)
{
double *y = x + (*n - *l), *z = x + *l, *u = x;
while ( u < y)
*s += *u++ * *z++;
}
In this code, I think the arguments should be called as *l and *x probably because l and x are defined in R environment and are transferred to the .C interface, and please correct it if I am wrong. However, inside the function cconv, why double *y are defined rather than double y, and why pointer and int variable are mixed in defining *y. At last, I saw in other codes that if R need call .C(...) to return a vector result s, then double *y is defined as an argument in the C function, but calculated as s inside the C function, like:
void xfunc(int *l, double *x, double *s){
int i,j;
for (i = 0, i < *l, i ++){
s[i] = x;
}
}

Hands-On: U-Boat Darkmoon 44 MM Grey SS
An accessible oil-filled watch with brilliant looks
Gerard Nijenbrinks
Were you always intrigued by oil-filled watches? I was! My first encounter with them dates back to the 1990s. At that time, almost simultaneously, Sinn, Bell & Ross, and Kienzle presented their first oil-filled models. Today, U-Boat boasts a full series of attractive oil-filled watches, and I got to try out the Darkmoon 44 MM Grey SS.
Sinn reluctantly transformed an existing diver's model into the 810Q and eventually rated it to 8,000 meters. SIOK, the Italian agent for Kienzle, presented The Deepest in titanium, which was rated to 9,000 meters. It was later even updated to 12,000 meters while using a resin case. Bell & Ross had the Hydro Challenger (later Hydromax) rated to 11,100 meters in 1997 and was eager to say the brand was unique with its oil-filled watches. It was obviously not, but we have to understand that this was pretty much before the internet when things weren't as transparent as they are now.

Oil-filled watches
The examples mentioned above were aimed at solving the problem of pressure and depth ratings of diver's watches. Despite depth ratings up to 12,000 meters, however, it became clear that the quartz crystal contained in a movement could not withstand a pressure of more than 500 bar. Equivalent to 5,000 meters, that would be much more than sufficient for any human-worn dive watch anyway. With the UX, Sinn still has an oil-filled dive watch in its catalog.
Besides providing a relatively easy solution to increase the pressure rating for diver's watches, oil-filling brings another phenomenon — improved readability and appearance. Excellent examples of how to use the augmented readability that oil-filling provides are the Ressence Type 3 and Type 5. While Type 5 probably could be marked as a dive watch, Type 3 uses oil-filling's enhanced readability and appearance for design purposes only.
U-Boat Darkmoon
The appearance brings me to U-Boat. For aesthetic reasons, U-Boat uses oil-filling in two of its model series — the Capsoil and the Darkmoon. I was happy that U-Boat sent in one of the latter to write this hands-on review. The model that U-Boat provided me with was the Darkmoon 44 MM Grey SS. This nomenclature says it all: the watch measures 44.8mm in diameter, sports a grey dial, and has a stainless steel case. And it's good that the model name is so descriptive because U-Boat offers many variations of the Darkmoon. There are 40mm and 44mm sizes, at least six different dial colors, two case colors, and even a version with a red-colored crystal. Don't hesitate to explore all variations here.
The Darkmoon is no diver's watch, so the reason for oil-filling can't be the enhanced pressure rating. But the other advantage that oil-filling brings — improved readability and an attractive appearance — is exploited to the fullest.
Expansion of the oil
One of the first things you'll notice when looking at the U-Boat Darkmoon is the air bubble under the glass in the oil. One might think this is a flaw, but it's intentional and, in fact, necessary.
With temperature changes, the oil will expand and contract. Unlike air, oil isn't compressible. So if the temperature of an oil-filled watch rises, the oil will expand, and if a watch case is fully filled with oil, the oil has nowhere to go. To tackle this problem or situation, different watch brands found different solutions. Sinn uses a case back that acts like a membrane. When the oil inside the watch expands due to increasing temperatures, the inner part of the case back slightly moves outward. Ressence invented a neat, specially designed system where seven air- or gas-filled bellows are placed inside the movement in the oil. These bellows expand or compress to compensate for changes in the oil's internal volume between -5° and +55° Celsius. This range covers all temperature situations a watch might encounter.
U-Boat's air bubble
However, a simpler system leaves a little air in the oil. A bubble of air can compress and retract and act equally as well as Ressence's bellows. The big difference is that the air bubble freely moves through the oil and will be visible on the dial. To me, the air bubble in the Darkmoon isn't annoying at all. I'd even say I like it as it'll be an excellent conversation starter. I do wish the bubble had been slightly smaller, but I guess its size is probably calculated with the expansion and retraction of the amount of oil in mind. For this watch, it's very well possible that a smaller bubble wouldn't do the job correctly. As we can see in the picture of the Kienzle The Deepest at the start of this article, the air bubble is much smaller, but I'm sure the amount of oil in the watch is too.
What else is good?
With battery-powered oil-filled watches, there's always the fear of changing the battery. Without precautions, the oil will spill out when opening the watch to change the battery. Not with the U-Boat Darkmoon. The brand developed an innovative locking system (Locking Ring System), allowing for quick and worry-free battery replacement. Another feature that I welcome is the left-hand crown. Specifically, with a watch of this size and a crown on the right side, there's always the risk of irritating the back of your hand. I'm happy to report, though, that this Darkmoon is pretty comfortable to wear despite its 44.8mm diameter. The rubber strap is soft enough, and I like that it sports a regular pin buckle. For me, especially on more substantial straps, that's often more comfortable than a folding buckle.
I enjoyed wearing the U-Boat Darkmoon Grey 44 MM Grey SS. I think I was attracted to it because of a picture on Instagram, and in real life, it didn't disappoint. Although the 44.8mm size suits my 18cm (7″) wrist, I think I would opt for the 40mm version if I wanted to buy one. Of course, U-Boat is famous for larger-sized watches, but I believe the 40mm version would be less showy because of its size and more attractive thanks to its extraordinary aesthetics.
Find out more about U-Boat through the brand's official website. You'll find me on Instagram @gerardnijenbrinks.

Special Note(s)
Completely filled with a special oil that emphasizes the dial, creating the illusion of the absence of glass and providing greater legibility. Visible air bubble on the dial to compensate for temperature variations.
Part entertaining conversation piece, part gloopy accident waiting to happen. Thankfully, there's a 40mm version providing a smaller target.
I assume the lack of a seconds hand is due to the energy required to move one through the oil?
Thanks for your comment. With it's heavily domed shape, it doesn't look like the sapphire crystal will easily break, which would prevent an oily situation 😄
The other mentioned brands all have a second-hand running in oil, so I think the lack of a second-hand is more of an aesthetic choice for U-Boat.
I'm sorry, but U Boat is a truly awful name. A U boat is a Nazi submarine, and naming you company that is tone deaf at best.
pechen28 says:
Actually, U-Boot is the German word for submarine. Every submarine is a U-Boot in German. That's why Sinn call their submarine steel U-Boot-Stahl in German. The word has nothing to do with the Nazis. And U-Boat is not even a German word. It is Boot not Boat in German.
The brass from the V1 and V2 programmes was quite important to the US post war, and the japanese who was responsible for the horrors of Manchuria and arrested by the US was granted immunity in return for providing US with all statistics and research.
I'd say we (westerners) are pretty deaf already, and there's plenty of work for anyone who wants to make up for present injustice and cruelty without ever thinking of WW2.
The sub at the Kiel museum was in allied service until 1965 and in my opinion, using the name is fine, it's about technology not about politics.
Having said that, I don't believe they got it right with the Darkmoon, certainly wouldn't purchase it for it's legibility 🙂
orangespoon says:
Are you saying the use of German language is a marketing no no post WWII? In Europe we have moved past that sort of view and if any nation in the world has learnt the necessary lessons post the Nazis it's Germany.
Some people are so sensitive, a little breeze gives them a psychological 3rd degree burn.
I'm not saying that use of any German language is a no no. However, at least in the US, the specific German term "U boat" has an overwhelmingly negative connotation and is inextricably linked to WW2 and everything that comes with that. If you really think it's just a neutral German word, google "U boat" and see what you get.
For the record, I am a huge fan of Germany as a country, and have visited multiple times. I enjoy its culture, engineering and cuisine. I'm just saying it's not the best name for an international watch company.
Thanks, Gerard, for reminding us of one of the not-so-ubiquitous watch brands. And thanks as well for providing a little overview of oil-filled watches just in passing. 🙂
Thank you, Andreas 🙏🏼
Jan-Paul van Barneveld says:
Had an UX for years. Loved that watch, but the bubble that would appear after a ski trip or a day of ice skating not so much. Sent it back a couple of times.
It got better after some years because Sinn started to use a different type of oil. And Sinn's service was excellent. Still, leaving the watch at home on a cold day because the fear of 'the bubble' made me let go of it in the end. It was intended as my weekend / holiday watch. But I missed it, the chronometer precision, the tank like build quality and the dept of dial caused by the oil. At least until I purchased a Bremont Endurance recently. No worries taking that out on a cold day. OT, I personally would choose an UX, but it's a totally different watch than te U-Boat. The U-Boat is unconventional and will definitely stand out in a crowd.

We're proud to be one of the only bicycle brands that has a dedicated women's cyclocross line. We race every weekend and heckle side by side with some of the most amazing women in cyclocross. And we've loved creating a race bike worthy of these mud loving athletes. The input on the design, graphics and touch points on all of our RXW bikes came from very strong and opinionated women (we're looking at you Caroline). And with their continued input and scrutiny, we're looking forward to what we create next. | {

Samantha Stosur loses in first round at Brisbane International
BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Australian Samantha Stosur's year ended on a sour note after she was bundled out of her home state tournament by Brisbane International seventh seed Anastasija Sevastova on Sunday.
The former US Open champion and French open finalist had opportunities against her 27-year-old Latvian opponent in the first set, but was completely outplayed by Sevastova in the second set to be eliminated 6-1 6-3 in the first round.
It wasn't a good day for French world No.8 Caroline Garcia either, after she retired in her first round match against compatriot Alize Cornet.
The fourth seed started brightly to take the first set 6-3, but Cornet rallied to claim the second and force a deciding set.
Garcia then took an injury time-out for treatment on her lower back and played just one point in the final set before retiring.
Serena:Loses in comeback, undecided on Australian Open
Djokovic:Skips another tournament due to elbow pain
Cornet will next play Mirjana Lucic-Baroni in the second round after the Croatian beat Germany's Tatjana Maria 6-4, 4-6, 6-0.
Serbian Aleksandra Krunic beat Carinna Witthhoeft of Germany 7-5, 7-6 (2) to set up a second round clash with Spanish top seed Garbine Murguruza.
In the men's draw Alexandr Dolgopolov of Ukraine beat sixth seed Diego Schwartzman of Argentina 6-4, 7-6 (3).
Meanwhile, former world No.1 Andy Murray continued his return from a hip injury with a practice session in Brisbane on Sunday as he prepares for his first competitive match since July. That comeback match will be against either American Ryan Harrison or Leonardo Mayer of Argentina in the second round on either Tuesday or Wednesday.
"I just want to enjoy playing again, I really missed it," Murray said on Sunday. "I want to play tennis... I don't mind if it's 30 in the world level - I'd love it to be number one in the world level - I just want to play."
"When that's taken away from you, you realize how important it is." | {

I like this article. It makes me happy today.
I do have a question. I am on my path of knowing myself and discovering.
Date with a guy... Just for the fun etc.
Sometimes I don't know or I am scared that the guy can ruin it?
On the other hand I thought , what can happens if your only doing it for the fun or to meet people.
That's exactly what I recommend, Maris, in fact, I have a whole section about this in my course specifically because some of us - myself included! - can be so uncomfortable thinking of - let alone doing - dating this way! Go out and have fun! See it as an adventure. There's nothing either of you can do to "ruin it" if he's the right one for you! | {

Indian model and actress Pooja Hegde bares her $exy, long legs on the cover page of Maxim magazine's March issue. With fine contoured bronze make-up and voluminous hair left open on one side, her lacy robe over a white bralet increases the attraction quotient. The combination of sultry pose and killer looks can make any man go week at his knees.
Pooja was the second runner-up in the Miss Universe India 2010 competition, while also being crowned Miss India South Glamorous Hair 2010 in the subsidiary competition. She made her acting debut in Mysskin's Tamil film Mugamoodi (2012). In July 2014, Hegde made her Bollywood debut opposite Hrithik Roshan in Ashutosh Gowariker's period film MohenjoDaro. | {

Sony's PlayStation Network had a rough ride this weekend, collapsing under the brunt of a cyber attack by forces as yet unknown. While the PSN is now back, here's a breakdown of what happened, with answers to questions.
What brought the PlayStation Network down?
Something called a Distributed Denial of Service, or DDoS attack (confirmed by Sony here). A DDoS attack occurs when someone attempts to make a server's resources unavailable by inundating the server with traffic. In short, Sony's servers couldn't keep up with the incoming traffic, culminating in a logjam for all incoming requests, legitimate or otherwise.
When did the PSN go down?
Sunday, August 24, in the early morning.
What's this I'm hearing about Sony and a bomb scare?
Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley, traveling on August 24 by commercial plane from Dallas-Fort Worth to San Diego, had taken to Twitter to let people know Sony was battling the DDoS avalanche Sunday morning.
But someone, though at this point no one knows who precisely, claimed the American Airlines Boeing 757 Smedley was on contained explosives, prompting its diversion to Phoenix.
The plane landed uneventfully in Phoenix on Sunday and as far as anyone knows, no explosives were found on the plane.
Was Sony the only company affected by the DDoS attack?
No. While the lion's share of media attention has been on Sony, probably due to the simultaneous bomb scare, several other gaming-related services, including Microsoft's Xbox Live and Blizzard's Battle.net, were reportedly disrupted over the weekend.
Microsoft, for instance, reports that access to its "Social and Gaming" services are "limited" (and were still as this list went live, though the reasons why are unclear; according to Reuters, Xbox spokesperson David Dennis said, "We don't comment on the root cause of a specific issue, but as you can see on Xbox.com/status, the core Xbox LIVE services are up and running").
Gamasutra notes that both Riot's League of Legends and Grinding Gear's Path of Exile were also targeted, resulting in those services going down.
But as the BBC notes, a person associated with the hacktivist group Anonymous has said the DDoS attacks were in fact initiated by Anonymous to demonstrate weaknesses in Sony's system. The BBC says this hacker has denounced LizardSquad's attempts to take credit for the attack, and has posted screenshots designed to prop up Anonymous' claims to responsibility.
In other words, we're still not sure at this point who was actually responsible, or what their goals were beyond the mundanely obvious: service disruption.
Did whoever brought the PSN down manage to steal anything?
In other words, as far as we know (and Sony says), no sensitive information was accessed or compromised.
Is the PSN still down?
As of this morning, it appears to be back, and Sony indicated it was functional already late yesterday (though at the time Sony's note went live, the PSN was still nonfunctional for me and hadn't come back by the time I went to bed).
Didn't this happen to Sony once before?
Not exactly. Sony's PlayStation Network was hacked back in 2011, at which point the perpetrators absconded with some 77 million user accounts, prompting Sony to shutter the service for over three weeks.
As noted above, yesterday's DDoS attack was a brute force attempt to take Sony's servers offline, not an intrusion hack, and according to Sony, no sensitive information was taken.
On the DDoS front, the companies involved are doubtless bolstering their defenses, but bulwarking for brute force denial of service attacks is an ongoing process, and there's no panacea.
On the bomb-scare front, USA Today notes that American Airlines spokesperson Michelle Mohr said the FBI is investigating the matter (as does the BBC, which cites Sony as saying the same). | {

the weinstein trial
Why Harvey Weinstein Can't Put Away His Phone
Even at his rape trial, the disgraced movie producer still can't seem to give up control.
By Maureen O'Connor
By Stephanie Keith/Getty Images.
Harvey Weinstein has a cell phone problem. More specifically, he has a cell phone entitlement problem so great that, on Tuesday morning, the judge overseeing the disgraced movie mogul's rape trial threatened to throw him in jail.
"Is this really the way that you want to end up in jail for the rest of your life, by texting and violating a court order?" asked Judge James Burke, who is overseeing Weinstein's Manhattan trial for sexually assaulting two women. (Weinstein has pleaded not guilty and denies the accusations of the more than 80 women who have publicly accused him of sexual assault or harassment since 2017.)
Burke, a former prosecutor who has been on the bench since 2001, has emphatically banned cell phone use in his court. He has reprimanded Weinstein and his lawyers a number of times for violating the ban. But even as he faces charges that could put him in prison for life, Weinstein seems unable or unwilling to abide by instructions, rules, and boundaries set by anyone but himself. Burke has a salty demeanor, a dry sense of humor, and, based on Tuesday, little patience for Weinstein's antics or his lawyers' excuses. The judge's preferred method of scolding is pedantry. First he asked defense attorney Arthur Aidala to state, on the record, what Burke said the last time Weinstein played with a phone.
"You said you never want to see a cell phone in my client's hand," said Aidala.
"Because it was my intention to do what?" asked the judge.
"To change his bail conditions," said Aidala.
"To what?"
"I believe you said remand."
Remand would mean revoking bail and sending Weinstein to jail. Assistant District Attorney Joan Illuzzi-Orbon had already planned to request exactly that on Tuesday. She argued that a Los Angeles arrest warrant issued on Monday for new rape and sexual battery charges could tempt the "man of great means" to take flight. Burke rejected the request.
Los Angeles and New York are among the cities where Weinstein has long wielded power. In 2017, New York magazine journalist Rebecca Traister wrote that she witnessed Weinstein call himself the "fucking sheriff of this fucking lawless piece-of-shit town" at a party at New York's Tribeca Grand Hotel in 2000. (According to Traister, he also called her a "cunt" and shoved a fellow journalist down the stairs.) In court, surrounded by members of law enforcement who carried handcuffs and wore gold shields, I watched Weinstein's lawyers repeat the same apologies and promises they have made, for months, about this relatively small infraction that requires only the tiniest effort to prevent. And I thought about other apologies and promises Weinstein has made in the last two years.
More than once Weinstein has packaged #MeToo denials with admissions of smaller misbehaviors and, he says, noncriminal offenses. More than once he has said he is a changed man. The character flaws and bad choices that he admits to—and says he has repaired—are several million magnitudes smaller than the felony charges for which he now stands trial. In an emailed correspondence with CNN, Weinstein wrote that "the past two years have been grueling," but rehab, self-reflection, and meditation have allowed him to change his worst traits and ugliest habits.
"I have learned to give up my need for control," he wrote.
On Tuesday, Judge Burke didn't even trust Weinstein to control the contents of his pockets.
"Mr. Aidala, this is on you if he blows it," Burke said of his decision to uphold the current conditions of Weinstein's bail—and of his future obedience.
Aidala apologized on his client's behalf.
"I'm not looking for apologies," said Burke. "I'm looking for compliance."
"Leave the Witnesses Alone": Day One of Harvey Weinstein's Trial Previewed the Clashes to Come
Inside the courtroom, prosecutors and the defense fought over witnesses. Outside, accusers demanded justice. Across the country, the Los Angeles D.A. announced charges of her own.
Who Would Defend Harvey Weinstein?
Next week, more than two years after his alleged predations ignited a cultural flash point, the disgraced former movie producer will stand trial for rape in a Manhattan courtroom. In the months since his initial arrest, Weinstein's case has seen multiple delays, shifting charges, and a tabloid-ready turnover of defense attorneys. The team that will take him to trial explains their case. | {

The First Mass In Canada Celebrated On The South Shore Of Nova Scotia
Article No: 73
According to a tradition, the first Mass ever said in Nova Scotia and even in Canada whole have taken place on a flat rock near Port La Tour Harbour. An article which came out in the Maclean's Magazine, October 1, 1937, under the title "Nova Scotia - First Catholic Mass," by Sara Knowles Doane, reads: "It was in the year 1604, when Champlain, in company with De Monts, was seeking a suitable site for settlement in Acadia. Leaving De Monts at Liverpool (sic) Champlain sailed on, following the coast line, carefully noting the topographical features of the land, and recording all that he saw of interest. Coming into the harbor of Port La Tour on a Sunday, they disembarked upon a flat rock near good anchorage, and the priest of the company said mass for all those of their faith."
The old people of Pubnico used to say that the first Mass was celebrated on one of the islands called "The Salvages," at about a mile east of Blanche Island, which in years past formed a unit, it seems. The two largest islands, which may be classified also as rocks, are known to the fishermen as the two "Half-Moons." According to tradition, the first Mass would have been said on the larger of the two, the one farther south, which, at low tide, emerges ten feet above sea level. The same old people used to say that this Mass had been celebrated after Champlain and the people who were with him, on their way to Cap-Fourchu and Saint Mary's Bay, had left Liverpool (although they were coming from La Have). It is obvious that the English-speaking people of Port La Tour and vicinity held this tradition from these ancient Acadians of Pubnico who had come back from exile, they themselves holding it from their ancestors.
Let me say, first, that it is hardly probable that either of the two Catholic priests who accompanied De Monts in his voyage to Acadia took part in Champlain's expedition of May-June, and also that Champlain was not in the Cape Sable region on a Sunday, but on a Wednesday, May 19, 1604. Around the middle of June, after Champoain came back from his excursion up to Saint Mary's Bay, when everybody definitely left Port Mouton for the Bay of Fundy, the two priests left also. If De Monts and the rest of his people had stopped in the Cape Sable region fro the priests to say Mass, we may be sure that Champlain would have recorded it in his account. But he says simply: "Coasting the shore, we passed close to Cape Sable and to the Seal Islands.
Be what it may, it is just as improbable that the first Mass was celebrated on this occasion on the rock mentioned above, as it is probable that it was celebrated first on the East Coast of Acadia, in the region where De Monts effected his landings, at La Have and at Port Mouton.
It goes without saying that the Mass was celebrated also on Saint Croix Island, in the State of Maine, in the Saint Croix River, which separates New Brunswick from Maine, where the group spent the winter of 1604-5. On September 30, 1971, a memorial stone and plaque were erected at Red Beach, on the American shore, facing Saint Croix Island, which reads: "On this site was celebrated the first recorded (sic) Holy Sacrifice of the Mass within the present limits of the State of Maine - June 26 - 1604 - erected by Maine State Council Knights of Columbus 1971." We can be sure that the two Catholic priests who spent a number of months on Saint Croix Island at the time said Mass often, although it has never been recorded anywhere in so many words.
It is to be noted that we do not take into account here what could have taken place around the year 1000 and even before that time.
When Jean de Poutrincourt, mentioned in sketch No. 70, came back to Acadia in the spring of 1610, the historian Marc Lescarbot says that on May 20, Father Jesse Fleche, who was accompanying him, said Mass not far from Pentagoet (Penobscot, Maine) "in view of the Island to which was given the name of 'the Ascension'," as that year the feast of the Ascension fell on the 20th of May. Note that later on all this region, up to at least Pentagoët, was to be included in the territory of Acadia. See again sketch No.70 where I say that Governor Grandfontaine made of Pentagoët the Capital of Acadia.
With regard to the Acadian peninsula (Nova Scotia), the first mention of a Mass here was made the following year. Father Pierre Biard, who came over in 1611 with Poutrincourt, along with his confrere Father Enemond Masse, Jesuits, wrote May 5th to his Provincial in Paris that they had said Mass at Canso, that which is corroborated by Lescarbot.
Some say that it was not in Acadia that the first Mass was said in what is now Canada. They say that when Jacques Cartier was in the vicinity of Labrador, June 11, 1534, Mass was "heard" by his people. Others object that there is no mention anywhere that any priest ever accompanied Cartier on this expedition to Canada. Furthermore, they say that this was not a real Mass, but simply the reading or singing of the prayers of the Mass, that which was done at the time in the absence of a priest. That is why it is said that the Mass was "heard", instead of "said."
Be that as it may, in Québec and elsewhere, the information that we have with regard to a first Mass is of a later date then those given in Acadia. A Mass is mentioned in 1615 to have been celebrated in the Huron country, now in the territory of Ontario. As to the Province of Québec, there is mentioned a Mass as having been said on June 25, 1636, "the first Mass which has ever been said in the land." The words "in the land" (in French, "dans le pays"), cannot include Acadia. But already, the day before, June 24th, a priest had said Mass at Rivière-des-Prairies, close to Montreal, which could be the first Mass recorded as having been celebrated in what is now the Province of Québec.
Acadia, being closer to Europe, having been the first territory to be explored in this part of the New World, it is not surprising that we find here, in Nova Scotia, so many "firsts."

To understand this chart, some context is necessary. The ecological footprint is a metric which measures how much nature we have (Biocapacity) and how much nature we use (Ecological Footprint Consumption).
Biocapacity represents the productivity of ecological assets (e.g. cropland, grazing land, forest land). These areas can absorb most of the waste humans create – especially carbon emissions.
Ecological Footprint Consumption measures how many natural resources a population consumes in a given area.
It is way too crowded. The labels for the respective countries are not clearly visible and it is difficult to pick out a specific country in which you might be interested in.
It is not clear by which measure the viz is sorted by. It seems like it is sorted by the highest value of carbon emissions, but it is not clear why exactly it is this category and not one of the other categories.
Small values in the stacked bar chart are hardly visible. Countries with low emission values are almost impossible to decipher.
I created an exploratory viz which shows the percentage of total consumption for all ecological assets categories.
The viz shows clearly the largest category of ecological consumption for each country.
The donuts where a logical choice to combine the 2 most important information I wanted to display: The name of the country and the percentage of Total of ecological consumption for each country.
By using the donut chart I was able to display the abbreviation for each country inside each donut and avoid the overlapping country labels on the x-axis of the original viz.
The percentage of total donuts also have the advantage that small values are not overlooked inside a stacked bar chart like it is the case in the original viz.
It is possible to highlight each category by clicking on it on the legend. By doing this, the audience can very easily find out which category is the most consumed for each country.
I added an additional filter which filters on the 9 countries with the highest/lowest overall consumption for each category.
The is some clutter. The gridlines could be removed, the date label is not necessary since the years already indicate that the x-axis is populated with date values.
The choice for an area chart is questionable. Area charts are usually the most useful when leveraging it as a stacked up area chart which indicates a part-to-whole relationship. More detailed information about this can be found in the following blog-post: https://www.fusioncharts.com/blog/line-charts-vs-area-charts/ Since this is not the case here, a line chart would have worked just as well and would create a cleaner look.
I do not like the choice of color. Yellow and orange could be mistaken for a continuous color palette for a continuous variable. Since the dimension Reporting Category is a discrete variable I would avoid possible confusion by choosing two colors which can clearly be distinguished from each other. A possible choice could be yellow and blue.
The viz does not tell a story. It is not explained why the distinction between Health Facility Worker and Community Health workers is important and which conclusion we can draw from that distinction. The trend seems to be an overall decrease of malaria cases in both categories but also this trend is not revisited in the title.
The data set provided additional fields to the ones used in the original viz. These additional fields included province name and area( urban or rural). I used this additional fields to show the high difference in malaria cases between rural and urban areas and to create a map which shows the southern provinces of Zambia.
Malaria is on the retreat since the year of 2014. In both, rural and urban, areas.
This trend is also applicable to almost all states of the data sets.
I included a map which is color-coded by the number of malaria cases between the year 2014-2017. The map also provides additional context to the topic of the viz and draws the attention of the user since it is interactive.
To illustrate the trend of decreasing malaria cases over time I aligned bubbles, coded by size, on a horizontal line. The shrinking bubbles highlight the decrease of malaria cases in each province or overall. The horizontal line indicates the development over time.
The rows are split up by the area field. This facilitates comparisons between rural and urban areas.
The legend is too long! Every year has its entry in the legend. Since the years cannot be distinguished by color anyway (most of them are grey), listing them is counterproductive.
Different statistic measures like Median, average and interquartile Range and standard deviations are all part of the chart but are really hard to distinguish by color. They only vary in shades of grey (no pun intended).
There is some clutter. The gridlines could be removed. The title "date" for the x-axis is not necessary since the name of the month already implies that this axis shows dates. The 1. day for each month can be removed. It is not really clear why December appears twice. The creation of two data points with only one day in between (31.12 and 1.1) seems pointless since the data will only show minimal change between these dates.
I like the highlighting for 2012 in green color. 2012 seems to be the year with the lowest Arctic ice extent so far – therefore the highlighting.
I also like the salient orange color for the most recent year of 2018. This emphasizes that the most current year is likely to supersede the year 2012 as the year with the lowest Arctic ice extent.
I want to show the decrease of sea extent over time. To achieve this, I chose a title which already frames the narrative of the viz (Ice turning into water). The subtitle then names the exact number of decrease in Million SQ KM (1.95). The number is then again picked up in the viz. The box around the number spans over all bars (each bar resembles a year) of the first visualization, indicating that the number refers to the development over all years.
The second message I want to convey is the cycle of decrease and increase of the ice extent within each year. I used a second chart type, a line chart, to show this development.
The color choice was the most difficult one. On first thought, blue is often associated with cold and following the logic, red is associated with increasing temperature. But in the case of this viz it did not really work for me. First of all, ice is white and not blue and second, the temperatures are still very low – even though they are rising. Therefore associating low temperature with a red color which generates pictures of high heat in our head felt counterintuitive. In the end, I decided to create a continuous color palette from white to dark blue. White for the ice and blue for water from the melted ice. Since this color choice might at a first look unusual (blue often being associated with cold) I felt that I need to explain the colors in the title as well. Therefore, the color-coded title. Ice turning into water.
To show the melting of the ice I opted for a bar chart colored by a continuous color palette from white to dark blue. This creates the imagery of melting ice. Over the years the columns transcend from a deep white into first a lighter blue and then a darker blue. The bar chart is split into multiple columns, one for each year. By hovering over the respective columns in the bar chart, the tooltips show the ice Arctic extent for the selected year.
The line chart in the lower half of the viz shows the decrease and increase of the Arctic sea ice within a year. I found it interesting that the ice extent fluctuates by a big margin within a year. The annotation calls out the peak (March) and the bottom (September) for the Arctic sea ice extent.
The two visualizations interact with each other. Clicking on a year in the upper bar chart will highlight the corresponding year in lower line chart and vice versa.
There are too many labels. The y-axis already shows the scale for the line so there is no need for data labels for each year. Labels at the start and at the end of the line would be sufficient.
The title does not call out a finding. The audience is expected to interpret the viz itself.
The colors in viz do not distinguish between forecast and actual figures.
The viz looks dull. There is really nothing which would catch the attention of the audience. No picture, no interesting color choices, no highlighter, no use of preattentive attributes.
The viz is supposed to give an overview over all producing wine countries in the dataset. So I decided to not call out single findings already in the title, but let the audience draw the information from the viz which they need. This can be done by selecting a country in the highlight box or by hovering over the respective line of the Sankey chart.
However, I did decide to call out the biggest wine producers (TOP 3) in a separate table on the lower left.
The lines are double coded by color and size. Higher production output of wine in mhl (million hectoliters) is illustrated by a darker red / thicker lines.
Clicking on a line will update the production output in mhl on the wine cork on the upper left for the selected country.
I had some private issues to take care of, so my MakeOverMonday posts are a bit delayed and incomplete. I did participate in the challenge every week but unfortunately did not find the time to write a blog post about each visualization. I will not catch up on every visualization I created but pick a few which I thought were interesting.
The viz looks dull. There is nothing which catches my eye. The colors are boring and there is nothing which would pick up the whiskey topic, like a picture or a green color palette which would remind the audience of Irish whiskey.
There is some clutter. The gridlines are not necessary and could be removed since they might interfere with the actual lines from the line chart.
The labels are incorrect. The 50 label misses the percentage sign. Also, the date labels vary in space between each other.
The title is much too small. It does not jump into the audience's eye immediately. Also, it does not convey a finding from the data.
The dataset actually contained more information than depicted in the original viz. It also included information by country and about the whiskey category (standard, premium, super premium). When looking at the data, one development struck me the most: Germany had by far the biggest increase in sales of Irish Whiskey in the super premium category. Therefore, I decided to create a viz which focuses on this discovery.
I went with a small multiples chart which shows the development in sales over time for each country with a combination of a stacked area chart and a line chart.
Germany is highlighted in green/turquoise to show it is an outlier while the other countries are colored equally in grey.
The countries are sorted left to right in decreasing order by sales growth.
The title specifically calls out Germany as the country with the biggest increase.
A legend on the upper right depicts the time frame of the data.

Discussion in 'General Electronics' started by Quack, Oct 13, 2003.
the chip, or fiddling around under microscopes etc.
etched with ferric chloride chrystals desolved in warm water.
shiny, apply a coating of 'flux 140' to the entire board.
Wait for this to dry completely (usually left overnight).
paint it - no blobs hanging off.
like they started, except silvery.
of the chip holding it in place with one hand.
no shorts, no messy flux or solder removing braid.
and the chips dont even get warm! no damage.
this technique, works perfectly for me!
perhaps for a begining to end kind of guide.
1/20 of an inch wide?
if not all pins at once.
laserjet? Could you please post a USA source for the Flux 140?
you think the Flux 140 would be sticky enough to do the same thing?
cause a mess with this scenario?
microscope. What next-die bonding and wire bonding on the PCB?
pitch work. Havent tried it.
too, although i havent tried that either.
Could you please post a USA source for the Flux 140?
Google doesnt return anything obviouse, im really not sure.
its made by "seno", the bottle has german + english writing on it.
a toaster oven(this has been done!).
boards with a lot of SM components - could save lots of time.
Do you think the Flux 140 would be sticky enough to do the same thing?
any oven work - i wouldnt really know for sure.
stories abut that stuff. Better to coat it with solder.
when i went to solder it!
unevenly, not very pretty at that).
Pherhaps the flux140 is designed to work on copper, but not tin.
strange effect anyway - i wont be doing that again .
What next-die bonding and wire bonding on the PCB?
move things along a little quicker.
there are always the profesionals todo it for you. | {

Let's come together to fight injustice — Eedris Abdulkareem tells Nigerians
On August 12, 2019 9:05 pmIn Entertainmentby Nwafor
By Rotimi Agbana
Following the arrest of Mr. Omoyele Sowore, the Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, in the 2019 general elections, by the DSS on August 3, 2019 at his residence for championing a protest tagged 'Revolution Now', popular Nigerian hip-hop musician and human rights activist, Eedris Abdulkareem has called on Nigerians to put aside personal interests, tribal and political sentiments and come together to fight against injustice.
•Eedris Abdulkareem
"The fight is for all, let's make our voice heard and forget our tribal, political or personal interest. For those who kept silent in this race against injustice, you have just thrown a stone. But remember you have families visiting the public market. Take heed and live free", he said.

Speaking further, the 'Jaga Jaga' rapper noted that since 2015 when President Buhari came into power, he has failed to fulfil most of the promises he made during his election campaign.
"Has Buhari delivered on any of the promises made at Chatham House in 2015? The living face of deceit and fraud, school certificate fraud; assets declaration frauds. Cows that never change in numbers over a 12-year period; assets declaration that he refused to make public, contrary to his promises. A promise of 'No office of first lady broken immediately upon ascension of office. Shall we count more fraud", he noted.

Christie Introduces the CP2308-C Xenon Projector
Christie has introduced the CP2308-C, which it calls a high value Xenon projector, based on a powerful new electronics platform. The new projector was unveiled this week at CineAsia 2016 in Hong Kong.
"We listened to the market and the result is a new level of value and user-friendliness in the CP2308-C, with many cost and feature benefits to our customers," said Dr. Don Shaw, Sr. director, product management, Christie. "The electronics package underpinning the model has been thoroughly beta-tested in real cinemas for over two years and sees its first appearance in a mass market product at this major global exhibition."
Created specifically for the burgeoning Chinese market, Christie says the CP2308-C is capable of projecting 9,000 DCI lumens and 10,000 lumens for alternative content. It comes with an integrated DCI playback engine, built-in automation features, and a user-friendly UX design interface. Perfect for cinemas with smaller screens, this unit will support alternative content sources through dual HDMI ports (along with the integrated DCI playback engine, supporting DCI cinema and streaming content).
Unique to Christie's digital cinema projection lineup, the CP2308-C is the first available product to boast Christie's latest Series 3 digital cinema electronics platform. The unit will be also compatible with Series 2 IMBs, with a firmware update, in mid-year. Following a successful launch of CP2308-C in China, Christie will quickly begin to introduce additional Series 3 projector models in the upcoming year.

Study links marijuana use in pregnancy to infant health risks
By Miles January 14, 2020
The use of marijuana for recreational and medical purposes is on the rise, but two prominent physicians groups — the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology — discourage its use during pregnancy. (Getty Images)
Researchers in Minnesota and Iowa have found greater risks of social and emotional problems in infants whose mothers consumed marijuana during pregnancy.
Using results of a developmental screening tool for 1-year-olds, the researchers found that 9.1% of babies from marijuana users were at risk, compared with 3.6% of babies whose mothers did not consume the drug while pregnant.
Researchers said the size of that gap was surprising, along with screening results showing that 8% of mothers tested positive during pregnancy for the presence of THC, the psychoactive component in marijuana, said Dr. Elyse Kharbanda, lead researcher of the study from the HealthPartners Institute in Bloomington, Minnesota.
Researchers from the universities of Minnesota and Iowa co-authored the study, which was published in January in the Journal of Perinatology.
"We think it clearly is concerning," Kharbanda said.
The research was based on toxicology urine tests of 3,435 pregnant women during prenatal checkups, and the performance of their children around 12 months of age on a test known as ASQ: SE. The screening assesses whether children show age-appropriate levels of communication, compliance and self-regulation.
The results don't prove cause and effect. It's possible that women who consume marijuana during pregnancy have other traits that cause their children to perform poorly on developmental screenings. Women in the study who used marijuana during pregnancy tended to be younger and more likely to receive health insurance through Medicaid, which is reserved for people who are poor or disabled.
When the researchers adjusted the screening results for these other demographic factors, the gap in the children's performance fell below the threshold for statistical significance. That means it's possible that the gap was a statistical anomaly. However, Kharbanda said the gap was wide enough to raise concerns, especially considering reports that some mothers turn to marijuana during pregnancy to soothe nausea.
And while the study is the first to compare marijuana use during pregnancy with performance on infant screening, Kharbanda said the results are consistent with other studies that have found more problems in older children of mothers who used the drug.
The study also found that women who used marijuana during pregnancy were more likely to have babies born below typical birth weight, which can lead to breathing problems and other health concerns.
While recreational and medical marijuana use is increasing, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology discourage its use during pregnancy.

We walked together for at least a couple of miles from Lexington to Times Square and back. New York is a fascinating place and I can see why wedding photographers can't get enough of it. But, just like walking for endless blocks while dodging people, vendors, the homeless and tourists, it can also be quite exhausting.
In spite of this though, every time I get back home to Florida and look through the pictures, it makes me want to go back for a little more. I am so glad I had the chance to shoot this wedding in NY and I look forward to another one later this year in upstate New York. I expect upstate NY to be quite different from the big city. | {

A luxurious 5-star residence with outdoor heated swimming pool and whirlpool.
The Deep Nature® Spa is just minutes away from the residence.
Ski-in, ski-out, set in a spruce forest with stunning views over the valley.
Dreaming of a cosy retreat in a family-friendly resort with magical surroundings for your next ski holiday? How about staying at our Les Terrasses d'Eos Premium residence?
Ideally located up above Flaine, our residence comprises two large ... buildings in stone and wood, combining contemporary forms and traditional Savoyard architecture. It blends naturally into the surrounding area. The unobstructed views across the valley and the mountains covered with spruce trees are breathtaking. A short 15-minute walk takes you to the resort centre where you can enjoy the entertainment and activities on offer.
Spacious and bright apartments open onto balconies by means of large floor-to-ceiling glass doors. The modern decor and the prominence of wood add a warm and calming touch. Each fully equipped interior allows you the opportunity to cook, play board games in the living area and above all, spend quality time with your loved ones.
Each day, you can put on your skis and head off directly from the residence to the forest and the slopes. You just can't put a price on that!
We think everyone should enjoy their holidays to the max, so have thought of everything when it comes to looking after your children: They'll get to mix with others and come back with their heads filled with memories after spending the week at Kids Ski, combining ski lessons, lunch and entertainment.
Prefer to do some relaxing? Our sauna, hammam and indoor whirlpool with a panoramic view are perfect for you. What a treat to be able to splash around in warm water with a vista of snow-capped peaks! Or pamper yourself with a massage, treatment or sauna session at the Deep Nature® spa (charges apply). Sportier types can also take advantage of our cardio fitness studio and superb outdoor heated swimming pool.
Meanwhile, your children and teenagers can amuse themselves in the dedicated play area, or play pool. | {

In an earlier post, I described briefly an experiment I had carried out with 52 (novice) ontology developers who had developed 18 ontologies, 1/3 of whom had use a foundational ontology voluntarily, and whose ontologies were better than those who did not use a foundational ontology in domain ontology development. It being the first empirical experiment on this matter, the slightly shorter version of the tech report mentioned in that earlier blog post has been accepted as full paper at the 8th Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC'11).
There is an assumption that ontology developers will use a top-down approach by using a foundational ontology, because it purportedly speeds up ontology development and improves quality and interoperability of the domain ontology. Informal assessment of these assumptions reveals ambiguous results that are not only open to different interpretations but also such that foundational ontology usage is not foreseen in most methodologies. Therefore, we investigated these assumptions in a controlled experiment. After a lecture about DOLCE, BFO, and part-whole relations, one-third chose to start domain ontology development with an OWLized foundational ontology. On average, those who commenced with a foundational ontology added more new classes and class axioms, and significantly less object properties than those who started from scratch. No ontology contained errors regarding part-of vs. is-a.
The comprehensive results show that the 'cost' incurred spending time getting acquainted with a foundational ontology compared to starting from scratch was more than made up for in size, understandability, and interoperability already within the limited time frame of the experiment.
The last thing has not been said about it though. E.g., is 1/3 few or a lot? It remains unclear why the participants preferred reusing DOLCE over BFO, and what the outcome will be if also much larger ontologies, such as Cyc or SUMO, were to be added to the options in a controlled experiment. Also, it may be interesting to see similar experiments with other lecturers and other types of participants, such as with non-computing domain experts with experience in modeling, or a longer time period than used for this experiment. Further, only preliminary suggestions were made how one may want to include the use of foundational ontologies in ontology development, which should be done both at the high-level steps in the development process—none includes something about that now—as well as methods for the actual modeling, where only OntoSpec makes a first attempt in that direction.

Dole Announces its Promises, Bringing Interdependent Prosperity to People and the Planet
Dole to make nutritious foods accessible for 1 billion people, and move towards zero fruit loss and zero fossil-based plastic packaging by 2025, as well as net zero carbon emissions by 2030SINGAPORE-Wednesday 1 July 2020 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dole Packaged Foods and Dole Asia Fresh, divisions of Dole Asia Holdings Pte. Ltd.. announced today "The Dole Promise," which aims to increase access to sustainable nutrition, decrease food waste, plastics in packaging and carbon emissions and grow value for the company's stakeholders, including farmers and shareholders.
"The Dole Promise reflects the recognition that 'business as usual' is unacceptable in the face of a looming food crisis and the growing expectations of the next generation," said Pier Luigi Sigismondi, President of Dole Packaged Foods. "The impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic could see 265 million additional people pushed to the brink of starvation by the end of this year,1 double the numbers of last year. At the same time, the challenges of climate change, resource waste and declining natural resources still must be addressed. We believe it is time for a change, and we are taking action where we can be most effective – within our own business."
The promise draws on the spirit of 'Sampo Yoshi,' an 18th century Japanese philosophy that views the well-being of society and business as interdependent, and ensures the business is beneficial to the seller, to the buyer and to the community.
"The triple-win concept of 'Sampo Yoshi' has been part of Japanese culture for centuries, and is now at the heart of The Dole Promise as we play our part in helping to restore balance in the world by doubling down on our mission to put the health of the planet at the heart of everything we do," said Richard Toman, President Dole Asia Fresh Division. "It's a promise that Dole is making to do business differently, and to join forces with those who are equally committed to bringing back the goodness of the earth."
The Dole Promise frames this philosophy to include:
Better for People:
Access to sustainable nutrition for 1 billion people by 2025
Moving towards zero processed sugar in all Dole products by 2025
Better for Planet:
Moving towards zero fruit loss from Dole farms to markets by 2025
Moving towards zero fossil-based plastic packaging by 2025
Aiming for net zero carbon emissions in Dole operations by 2030
Better for all Stakeholders:
Dole will continue to positively impact all farmers, communities and people working for Dole – through its commitment to equal opportunity, living wages, and an ever-increasing level of safety, nutrition, and wellbeing. The company also seeks to advance human rights within the direct operations and supply chains by building a culture of transparency and accountability. The company also aims for a 50% increase in the value of its business by 2025.
The growing problem of food inequality, which existed before the pandemic, has now reached crisis proportions and needs a collective effort to address. Dole's commitment to increase access to sustainable nutrition will play a role, along with its effort to eliminate food waste.
"Our promise is not just about improving our world today," said Sigismondi. "We have a responsibility to future generations to work towards a more equitable and sustainable future."
The launch video, "Dear Leaders of the World," gives voice to the concern of today's youth about their generation's future if something doesn't change now.
"The next generation is right to question why we have left problems like climate change for so long. There are inter-generational repercussions. That is why we are increasing our efforts in key areas like reducing carbon emissions and working towards removing plastic packaging from our supply chain. Our promise puts the heart of the planet and people at the center of everything we do," added Sigismondi.
Elevating the end-to-end value chain
Addressing the many gaps in access to good nutrition and reduction of waste cannot be done alone. Dole is partnering with Solidaridad; an international civil society organization with over fifty years of experience in creating fair and sustainable supply chains from producer to consumer across five continents. They are developing innovative solutions for healthy and sustainable food systems ensuring that farmers and workers have a living income, influence over their destiny, and can produce in balance with nature. Dole is also enlisting the help of Forum for the Future, an organisation that works in partnership with business, governments and civil society to accelerate the shift toward a sustainable future, Future Food Institute a center of excellence for food intelligence and the food innovation ecosystem and Rocana, a venture capital firm focused on clean and functional nutrition.
Later this year, Dole is launching the Sunshine for All™ Investment Fund to support additional strategic partnerships and strategic investments in these areas around the world. The US$2 million annual fund will work with innovators, start-ups and progressive partners to help deliver on the Dole Promise in key areas such as nutrition products, materiality, advisory and implementation of crucial practices to help achieve the ambitions that have been set.
Additionally, Dole is bringing these commitments inside their company walls, with employee programs that educate and encourage all Dole employees to live "The Dole Promise."

Connect Kentucky Provides Uncertain Model for Federal Legislation
The only telecommunications legislation that has a chance of passing the Congress controlled by Democrats this year is modeled on a group whose apparent accomplishments are open to question and whose origins are in Republican politics in Kentucky. That group is Connected Nation, which began life as Connect Kentucky.
In just three short years, the organization claims to have brought Kentucky out of the technological dark ages, raising the availability of high-speed Internet by one-third while increasing other prime indicators ranging from home computer ownership to growth in high-tech jobs. Connect claims an advanced mapping system to guide the development of Internet through the state and through the work of local "leadership teams." The mapping program is supposed to show where there are gaps in the provision of high-speed Internet. The local teams, led by Connect Kentucky staff and composed of representatives of local business, education and technology organizations, are supposed to come up with a snapshot of how advanced the community is now, and set out some goals for improving use of technology.
Connect is on the cusp of bigger things. It has renamed itself Connected Nation, and is poised to try to replicate its model across the country. It has become a star on Capitol Hill, the model for programs enshrined in bills that, in different form, have passed the Senate and the House and others that are waiting for action. Some of those bills have millions of dollars in potential grant money attached to them, with the Connected organization now positioned perfectly to receive them.
Even more impressive is the attention the group has received. It is practically unheard of that an organization receives the universal accolades that Connect has in its portfolio. Every news story is favorable. Every politician is fawning. The organization, ostensibly set up to spur broadband deployment, has been hailed in Washington as a model of a public-private partnership. That combination is irresistible to Democrats because it frees them from the stereotype of a government-only program and brings in private-sector participation.
The apparent accomplishments of Connect Kentucky are as impressive as is the irony surrounding them.
The irony is that the Connect Kentucky model, hailed by Democrats such as Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Tom Harkin (D-IA), Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Daniel Inouye (D-HI), Rep. Zach Space (D-OH) and, to a lesser extent, House Telecom Subcommittee Chairman Ed Markey (D-MA) was cooked up by Republican staffers for then-Kentucky Gov. Ernie Fletcher (R) and representatives from BellSouth. That background is necessary to understanding the unique circumstances of Connect Kentucky as others try to replicate its "success."
Part of that understanding is recognizing that there is another story; however, that hasn't received its proper attention. There are other voices that are not being heard – those of people around the state who work in the same industry as Connect and in some of the same technical areas. Connect is a subject widely discussed in telecommunications circles, but many people who are most knowledgeable declined to be quoted by name because of the continuing power and influence of AT&T and the other local telephone and cable companies.
Their judgment, broadly stated, is that Connect Kentucky is nothing more than a sales force and front group for AT&T paid for by the telecommunications industry and by state and federal governments that has achieved far more in publicity than it has in actual accomplishment. Connect helps to promote AT&T services, while lobbying at the state capitol for the deregulation legislation the telephone company wants.
Building Blocks Preceded Connect
Another part of that understanding is that the building blocks for Connect existed long before the organization we know today came to exist and that today's version of Connect had nothing to do with them. Yet even with the head start and the millions of dollars, the results of Connect's programs, despite its fame, are debatable.
The first building blocks were established under former Kentucky Gov. Paul Patton (D). Connect Kentucky began life modestly under Patton in 2002. The first Connect report tracked the deployment of telecom service in different parts of the state, surveyed how business and government used the Web and set out some strategies for improving the situation, including implementing public policies to increase competition. That was Connect Kentucky v 1.0.
Also within the state government, Patton's government got a head start on state mapping of resources through the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority (KIA), which began a project to track water resources. The Geographic Information System (GIS) tools used in that program were the basis for Connect Kentucky's later programs.
Even before KIA began that project, however, Kentucky state regulators started to play a major role in the deployment of broadband in the state. In 1999 and 2000, the Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC) reviewed whether BellSouth was making more money than it was allowed under price regulation plan. The PSC ruled on Aug. 3, 2000 that rather than give consumers modest refunds, BellSouth should instead invest its excess earnings in broadband deployment. BellSouth had suggested the reinvestment strategy, but the PSC rejected the company's plan that would have brought broadband to only a limited number of customers closest to specific switching facilities the telephone company had picked. Instead, regulators ordered a more ambitious plan to make broadband available to all subscribers in the given areas.
At the end of the first three-year evaluation period for the plan, an audit performed for the PSC found that BellSouth had exceeded its goals, spending $32 million to expand broadband, largely in areas around community colleges as well as in some rural areas. On June 29, 2004, the regulators ordered that the reinvestment program be continued.
The PSC was also keeping an eye on BellSouth in other cases, and some of its decisions more than likely helped to construct the increasingly favorable competitive environment that its auditors found. On Nov. 30, 2000, the PSC ruled that "in regard to provision of DSL service in Kentucky, BellSouth has provided preferential and discriminatory service to itself to the detriment of other customers, specifically the small ISPs." On July 12, 2002, the PSC said BellSouth couldn't cut off DSL service to a customer who switched his voice service to a competitive carrier: "Its practice of tying its DSL service to its own voice service to increase its already considerable market power in the voice market has a chilling effect on competition and limits the prerogative of Kentucky customers to choose their own telecommunications carriers."
As a result of earlier state government initiatives, and a vigilant PSC, Kentucky was beginning to create a competitive telecom environment and to deploy broadband before today's version of Connect Kentucky was created. At the same time, BellSouth began to grow weary of the stern regulatory oversight and began a campaign in the state legislature for widespread deregulation. It had an ally in the new governor and his advisors.
BellSouth and Political Connections Key to Emergence
Connect v 2.0, the version we have today, emerged in 2004 under the new governor, Ernie Fletcher (R). From the start, there were two elements that drove it – the presence of BellSouth and of Fletcher staff and supporters. The man described as the one who came up with today's program is Joe Mefford, who spent more than 30 years in the old AT&T and BellSouth before retiring and moving to the Kentucky League of Cities. He was the head of BellSouth's Kentucky political action committee. Joe Mefford conducted the initial meetings on the new Connect Kentucky plan, according to one close observer of the process. This source, like many in Kentucky, asked not to be identified because of the continuing power of BellSouth.
Today, Joe Mefford is the state broadband director for Connect Kentucky. Fletcher announced his new "Prescription for Innovation" on Oct. 8, 2004, at the 75th annual Kentucky League of Cities convention. (The relationship with the League continues today, through a $130,000 contract awarded by Connect in 2006 for project management.) Commerce Cabinet Secretary Jim Host was one of those in charge of the new program.
While the Fletcher connection came first from Joe Mefford, who served on Fletcher's transition team after his election it then expanded to Joe Mefford's son, Brian, who came to Connect's parent organization as CEO in June 2004 after working in Fletcher's gubernatorial campaign and then for six months for Host in Fletcher's Commerce Cabinet – the equivalent of the state Commerce Department. Through the transformation, Brian Mefford became head of Connect Kentucky. He has since graduated to president and chief executive officer of Connected Nation, with a salary of $150,000 in 2006, according to Connect's tax form.
Andrew McNeill, another Fletcher staffer would also join the organization. McNeill was a senior policy adviser in Fletcher's election campaign and chief of staff in the state Commerce Department. Today, McNeill is vice president for program development at Connect Kentucky, having joined in September 2006. His salary, pro-rated for the time he spent at Connect that year, would be about $110,000 in 2006, according to Connect Kentucky's tax return.
The Meffords created the two-part structure of Connect familiar today that has become the envy of the rest of the telecommunications world. Those two parts are mapping the telecommunications infrastructure and creating teams to go out to counties and towns and sell the idea of bringing broadband to those areas with the overall goal of increasing Kentucky's broadband capabilities.
From the beginning, however, questions were raised about the propriety of a state organization heavily influenced by BellSouth, as well as questions about the expertise of the new and ambitious agency. One Kentucky source said the BellSouth connection was "of real concern to many broadband providers in Kentucky" because of the influence of BellSouth and BellSouth's suppliers. Another source put it more bluntly: "It was like putting the fox in charge of the henhouse to take a BellSouth executive and his son in charge of expanding broadband when they are supposed to be neutral."
A Kentucky official who will be quoted is William J. "Billy" Ray, the Chief Executive Officer of the Glasgow, Ky., Electric Plant Board. Ray is a true telecom pioneer who 20 years ago set up a municipally owned broadband network as a competitor to a commercial cable company. The town now provides broadband access as well. Ray's view, as expressed on his blog: "Connect Kentucky is simply a front for protecting the interests of incumbent telephone and cable companies." In setting up the new Connect Kentucky, Ray and others said, Mefford and others ignored municipal utilities, competitive telephone companies and Internet Service Providers.
No one listened then, and no one is listening now.
As it began work, Connect Kentucky created several revenue streams for itself. One came from the state in the form of contracts. The Federal government also chipped in money, in part through the Appalachian Regional Commission. Connect set up a partnership arrangement for private companies with an entry fee of $20,000, and has close to 20 commercial members. The roster includes AT&T, the Kentucky cable association, Microsoft, Apple and Cisco, among others well-known names. Also on the roster are Windstream, which owns landlines formerly owned by the Alltel telephone company, WildBlue, a satellite broadband provider and Southeast Telephone, a Kentucky-based competitive carrier. Other educational and governmental organizations are also listed as partners.
The entry fee closed out membership for many smaller companies, but even those who are involved aren't sure whether they are getting much for their money. Ed Knutson, VP of sales and marketing for WildBlue, said he signed up for the promotional value of having Connect Kentucky make the service better known in mountainous areas. Even so, all of his orders came through his strong local dealer network, not through Connect, Knutson said.
Basic Programs Questioned
One reason that Connect Kentucky has attained such fame is its program to map broadband deployment across the state. Their first big contract from the state, the first of many, was a $400,000, three-year award to do broadband mapping. The award came from the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority. Sources said, however, that Connect wasn't up to the job, and the KIA did the mapping for them, using as technical basis the GIS program put in place during the Patton administration.
Lat year, Connect broke its ties with the state, believing it could handle the mapping. The source familiar with the program said there was no explanation why the state had to give Connect the $400,000 if the agency was going to do the work. The most basic question is why Connect was needed in the first place. "They [the state] could have called up the phone company" to get that information, one local observer said.
"They haven't impressed anybody in the state" with the data collection, the source said. Another Kentucky source said that the information on deployment wasn't at all useful to non-Connect members. Connect's claim that more than 90 percent of the state has access to broadband has been met with a great deal of skepticism. "It's a joke," one knowledgeable source said, echoing what others also believe.
Sources with knowledge of the program said there were a myriad of problems. Connect Kentucky's results were overstated by a methodology that determined everyone within a 2.5-mile radius from a telephone company facility capable of supplying Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) service was indeed capable of getting the service. However, that assumption was not always true, the source said.
There are other weaknesses. Carriers aren't required to submit any information, and information considered proprietary can be withheld. When he introduced his legislation, Durbin saw these elements as a positive attribute. However, while those conditions might be acceptable to the providers of the information, they don't do much to make a complete map. There is no standard format for submitting data, so data from the cable industry was different from that from telephone companies. The best information came from the municipal utilities, which showed accurately where the service was. It's left up to consumers and the local "teams" to validate the map, which means the results will vary greatly as some teams are larger and more active than others.
The mapping covers broadband offered by any provider, so that if a municipality provides the service, it shows on the map. If a satellite company like Wildblue comes in to fill in a gap on a mountain, it shows on the map. If a competitive carrier of ISP offers broadband service, it shows up on the map. None of the sources of the service show up on the map. In those cases, as in others, Connect has had nothing to do with bringing the service to the area, but can claim it as part of their success.
"In theory, if it had been done legitimately and truly done by all industry, not just the LEC [telephone company] and the government, the mapping initiative would be a great thing," one Kentucky source said, adding that the problem is that "a few select tech companies in the industry are driving the mapping instead of the mapping driving deployment" of broadband. Although some independent ISPs were promised data demographic information, "we haven't gotten jack," one businessman said, adding: "The mapping on the [Connect] web site is useless. It's a pretty picture."
Businessmen in the wireless industry are particularly critical of the quality of Connect's mapping, saying the maps don't represent the true reach of wireless signals. The disclaimer on the map for wireless service reads: "This map is not a guarantee of coverage, contains areas with no service and generally predicts where outdoor coverage is available. Equipment, topography and environment affect service."
The last word on the mapping goes to the more general disclaimer on the Connect Web site: "The information provided herein by Connect Kentucky and is partners is believed to be accurate but is not warranted and is for informational purposes only. While all efforts are made to ensure the correctness and accuracy of this information, and to make corrections and change errors brought to our attention, no representation, express or implied, is made as to the accuracy of the data presented. Connect Kentucky and its partners assume no liability for the accuracy of the data."
The second major piece of Connect's program is its formation of "leadership teams" to go to each of Kentucky's 120 counties to preach the word of the necessity of broadband. Sources who have been in those meetings aren't impressed with Connect's expertise. One Kentucky source said a Connect community session he attended "reminded me of an Amway meeting," comparing it to the direct-sales company. Connect gathers together people from health care, education, industry and local government to persuade them that broadband is needed in their community. The preferred provider is not an independent ISP or a local CLEC. Instead, the service being pitched is BellSouth's DSL. Think of the presentation as a state-sponsored sales call for AT&T (the former BellSouth) low-speed DSL.
Most of the communities already know they want broadband, but have to wait for someone to provide it because the area is too sparsely populated or simply not economical for BellSouth to provide it. And if BellSouth does provide broadband, it does to at slow speeds with minimal infrastructure, one Kentucky source said. One DSL Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) is put into an area and once it's filled, BellSouth won't expand it, this source said. However, the company can claim it has served the area. If there is an area too remote for AT&T, then Connect will push for its designated partner, Wildblue, to fill in the coverage area.
Although purportedly striving to bring broadband, as opposed to BellSouth broadband, to unserved areas, Connect hasn't provided much help to other companies, and in some cases has been downright hostile by bringing in would-be competitors when a local ISP has already started talking with local officials. It has assisted in setting up some meetings and providing minimal guidance to Federal grants, one source said. But many other promises went unfulfilled, from help in negotiating discounted rates on cell towers to assistance in obtaining permission for siting competitive wireless sites on tall structures, to funding for smaller companies. The results of the "leadership team" meetings are more often than not simply a "pretty, glossy document," with no follow up, one meeting participant said.
Evaluation Shows Uneven Results
Connect Kentucky has spent $7 million in state funds. It got $2.6 million last year alone from the state legislature, and received a $900,000 grant in 2005 from the Federal Appalachian Regional Commission. What did the state get for its money?
A key factor in the Connect story is its habit of making large claims of success. In his testimony to the Senate Commerce Committee on April 24, 2007, Brian Mefford said that the work of Connect Kentucky and its partners had led to many successes ranging from Kentucky becoming a "national leader in technology acceleration" to being put on track "to be the first state with 100 percent broadband coverage. Also on the list are increases in computer ownership and computer literacy, rising broadband use in homes, the work of the community teams and creation of new tech jobs.
But other indicators aren't as bullish. Bruce Leichtman, president of Leichtman Research Group which publishes state-by-state analysis of broadband, said his data shows that as of the beginning of 2007 Kentucky was 46th of the 51 states and Washington, D.C. in residential broadband penetration with a 32.7% penetration of broadband subscriptions to U.S. Postal Service addresses.
On a broader scale, the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) published in Feb. 2007 a state-by-state New Economy Index. Kentucky ranked consistently in the lowest categories. For 2007, the state overall, based on 26 indicators, ranked 45th, which is actually six places lower than it was in 1999 and three places lower than in 2002. Specifically looking at a "Digital Economy" ranking, which includes percentages of population online and deployment of broadband, the ITIF report ranked Kentucky 45th as well.
For more specific measures, Kentucky ranked 40th in broadband deployment, dropping three places from 2002, according to ITIF. The state in 2007 also ranked 44th in high-tech jobs, 46th in scientists and engineers as a percentage of the workforce. Ironically, some of the state's higher rankings came without Connect's involvement. The state ranked 11th in e-government and 31st in technology in schools. The state's $70 million Kentucky Education Network (KEN) and education department are responsible for the project that will provide high-speed Internet links to colleges, universities and K-12 school districts.
Connect Plays Active Legislative Role for Telephone Industry
In theory, Connected Nation's legislative agenda is centered on closing the digital divide. In practice, its legislative efforts have centered on helping AT&T and other telecom providers. And Connected Nation finds time to help itself.
As a result of the PSC decisions toughening the broadband build-out and clamping down on anti-competitive activity, BellSouth began a campaign to get itself deregulated. It largely succeeded, with support from the Fletcher Administration and Connect Kentucky. The first bill, HB 627, was passed in 2004. That one took away the state's ability to set prices for or otherwise regulate broadband services.
The telecom industry got their biggest victory in 2006, however, with the passage of HB 337, a bill that largely took away the authority of the PSC to regulate telephone companies' rates, to review their financial information, to perform management audits or prescribe other rules. Former state Rep. Joseph Barrows (D), who served a majority whip, said it was "the worst piece of consumer legislation I had seen in 27 years." Barrows said the bill took away the authority of not only state regulators but also the state attorney general to investigate the telephone companies. The bill gave telephone companies the ability to set their own rates, an approach "that seemed to me to be overkill," Barrows said.
Newspapers, AARP, rural telephone companies and the state attorney general opposed the bill. The Louisville Courier-Journal said in a March 22, 2006 editorial: "There's no reason the Kentucky Senate should rush to judgment on House Bill 337, which would deregulate some telephone services in Kentucky at the expense of those who live outside the major metropolitan areas. It may seem strange that such a measure would find so much support in a rural-dominated body like the General Assembly, but lobbyists for the big telecommunication companies (BellSouth, AT&T and Alltel) seem to have had more sway with lawmakers than the folks back home in rural and small-town Kentucky."
Southeast Telephone (Setel), a competitive carrier in eastern Kentucky, opposed the bill because the legislation could hurt rural consumers. Setel asked on its web page: "Why doesn't HB 337 include a provision for an objective determination of the level of competition in a particular market before allowing deregulation there? A critical flaw in HB 337 lies in the failure to determine where real competition exists and where it does not exist." AARP Kentucky said the legislation was "a bad bill for Kentucky consumers,"
The Kentucky Resources Council sent a letter Feb. 6, 2006 to the House committee handling the bill, arguing that low-income and rural consumers would be hurt: "The deregulation of essential services and elimination of the application of a number of consumer protection provisions assumes that rate and service regulation is no longer needed because there exists a competitive marketplace that will provide equivalent protections against discrimination in rates and service, yet outside of a few urban areas, there is no effective and certainly no robust competitive marketplace from either wireless or voice over internet service."
The bill passed and was signed by Fletcher April 22, 2006, and Connect Kentucky wanted to let everyone know which side it was on, issuing a press release May 17, 2006: "As a non-profit, independent organization dedicated to technology-based economic development, ConnectKentucky worked during the 2006 legislative session to promote a package of broadband bills that were passed by the General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Ernie Fletcher." The release continued: "The bill allows telephone providers to compete on an even playing field with unregulated phone, cable and Internet providers. The end result is that telecom companies, freed from the burden of regulation, now have an environment that is more conducive to investment in rural broadband deployment."
Even today, Connect continues to front for AT&T and others in the legislature. Connect is coordinating efforts to pass a bill send as much as 35 percent of the telephone taxes consumer and business pay to the telephone companies instead of to the state. The money would be used to cover the costs of providing broadband to unserved areas. The amount of money telephone companies and others would be reimbursed would depend on the speed of service they provided. According to a draft bill being circulated in Frankfort in advance of the legislative session, there would be no cap on the amount of money that could be collected; the definitions of what expenses are covered are somewhat lax as is the definition of an unserved area.
With the state facing a $549 million budget shortfall, it's likely that the administration of new Gov. Steve Beshear (D) will not look favorably on the bill, despite the legislation's current support from the telephone and cable industries.
Connect's legislative goals are far larger than a bill in Kentucky that could gain its sponsors a few million dollars. The legislation floating around Congress could be worth much more to the Connected Nation effort. The current farm bill (HR 2419) has now passed the Senate and the House. The Senate version contains Durbin's "Connect the Nation Act" (S. 1190) almost verbatim as Durbin introduced it. The bill authorizes $40 million per year for four years for grants to nonprofit organizations "identify and track the availability and adoption of broadband services within each state." One of the purposes of the grants is to "establish and empower local grassroots technology teams," along with doing GIS mapping and other familiar projects.
What type of nonprofits? The bill says to be eligible, a group must have "an established record of competence and working with public and private sectors to accomplish widescale deployment and adoption of broadband services and information technology." Inouye's bill (S. 1492) has much the same language and same amount of money authorized to be spent.
And it has a very similar definition of which groups would be eligible, namely that the nonprofit "has an established competency and proven record of working with public and private sectors to accomplish widescale deployment and adoption of broadband services and information technology."
In an early draft of Connect Kentucky's legislation to have taxpayers reimburse telcos for broadband deployment, a qualified nonprofit organization would determine whether an expense was eligible for reimbursement. Here's Connect's definition of a non-profit organization: "An organization with an established competency in working with public and private sectors to accomplish wide-scale deployment and adoption of telecommunications and information technology."
In other words, Connect has written itself into federal legislation in a way that could make it the prime recipient of Federal grant funds.
While Congress ponders its legislative options, Connected Nation is busy establishing itself in the states. On Dec. 17, Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland (D) announced the formation of Connect Ohio. The state will spend $2.9 million on the group's efforts this year and next, and another $3.9 million in 2010 and 2011. The group will do the usual Connect things – mapping, leadership groups, identify gaps in broadband.
On August 15 last year, Verizon West Virginia announced a partnership with Connected Nation. The Connect group will "map the state's broadband availability and help develop a comprehensive approach to expanding high-speed Internet services in unserved rural areas of the state," Verizon said. At the same time, Verizon noted it was expanding its broadband capacity in the state. A Connect Tennessee group has also started operations.
With a short election-year session looming, it looks as if legislation to collect information on where people have broadband Internet and where they don't looks to be the best chance for something to pass this year. When Durbin introduced the Connect Kentucky model, and others copied it, the situation became more muddled than necessary.
Durbin introduced his Connect Kentucky bill in April last year with little fanfare. Now, with a short election-year session ahead, it may be the piece of telecommunications legislation with the best chance to pass, whether it's contained in a farm bill or some other legislative vehicle. At the time, Durbin noted that his approach brought together large providers, rural development advocates and local government. The question policymakers now have to face is whether that is truly a recipe for success. | {

Attackers target crowded mosque and Muslim restaurant popular with politicians in city of Jos, leaving at least 44 dead.
Twin bomb attacks have hit a crowded mosque and a restaurant in the central Nigerian city of Jos, killing dozens, according to officials.
At least 44 people were killed by the explosions on Sunday night, including at the Yantaya Mosque, home to Muslim religious leader Sani Yahaya, who preaches coexistence between Nigeria's different religions.
The attack targeted Yahaya as he was preaching, witnesses said. Gunmen started shooting sporadically and then there was a loud blast.
Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege, reporting from Abuja, said Yahaya was known to be critical of the armed group Boko Haram, which has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group.
"He was somebody that preached peaceful coexistence between Muslims and Christians in Plateau State," Ndege said, adding it was not clear whether Yahaya had been killed in the attack.

Another bomb exploded at Shagalinku, a restaurant popular with politicians.
"I saw people running out crying, some with bloodstains," said resident Bashir Abdullahi, describing the scene after he said a suicide bomber ran into the crowded restaurant. "I believe many lives were lost."
Abdussalam Mohammed of the National Emergency Management Agency said 67 others were wounded in the attacks and were being treated in hospitals, according to the Associated Press news agency.
The blasts came shortly after a suicide bomber attacked a church in the restive northeastern Nigerian state of Yobe, witnesses and police said, killing five people.
Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege said for many Nigerians the attacks demonstrated the potent threat Boko Haram continues to pose.
"Even with all the efforts, people ask what impact there is on the ground if Boko Haram is still able to attack communities and villages in the way they have over the last few days," Ndege said.
The US has vowed to support Nigeria in the wake of Sunday's attacks.
"The United States strongly condemns the recent attacks in northeastern Nigeria inflicted by Boko Haram," state department spokesman John Kirby said in a statement.
More than 200 people have been killed in a series of attacks by Boko Haram over the past few days. The group wants to implement a strict form of Islamic law in Nigeria. | {

Recently Dita von Teese visited Moscow and told about it on her page on Instagram. The 44-year-old star of Burlesque decided not to tell why she decided to visit the Russian capital, but she shared her impressions of Moscow's cultural attractions.
"Hello from Moscow! Thanks @frolburimskiy for being next to me on this beautiful day, filled with the scent of flowering trees. I've been to Moscow many times, but I can not remember a more beautiful day. I really enjoyed visiting the Gorky Museum. And as usual, I went to the Diamond Fund to admire the impressive exhibits, - Dita told her followers, sharing a picture taken in the former mansion of S. P. Ryabushinsky, where the museum-apartment of A. M. Gorky is now located.
Frol Burimsky, mentioned by the American model in his post, also shared an image on his Instagram-diary - in the picture shared to Instagram Dita von Teese is seen on Red Square. | {

I am aware our readers do not speak Synthesizer fluently, but all you need to know is that you'll be too mesmerized by the dreamy, synth-laden pop tunes that will ignite your '80s nostalgia for sure. The playful electropop theme and addictive beats of FM Attack's songs makes you feel like you're Zoolander cruising the beaches of Miami with Robocop and a few honies in the Knight Rider car.
That my dear, is the magic of Synthwave – a genre that FM Attack is perfecting with their funky new experimental pimping out of old school '80s disco pop. They do a mighty fine job of picking up the torch lit by Kraftwerk, a-ha, New Order and Depeche Mode that got lost in the shuffle in the '90s and 2000's. FM Attack launched a mesmerizingly upbeat and refreshing sophomore album named Déjà vu, which has already managed to get critics and casual coolcats raving about it.
The dreamwave vibes are best encapsulated by the smile-inducing, sultry vocals in tracks like "Magic" and "Runway." The abundant yet so-not-redundant synthesizer soundscapes and catchy beats melt into the dreamy vocals to create a superlative state of euphoria.
'With You Tonight' and 'Corazon' are another couple of peppy, happy-go-lucky tracks that will make you want to chew bubble gum and turn the world into a giant Zumba dance floor. Who needs MDMA when you have all the FM Attack you could possibly want to overdose on without the side effects? Give them a listen and get ready to surf the SynthWave tides in style. | {

A FieldServer protocol gateway that provides data exchange between McQuay and LonWorks.
The McQuay MicroTech Open Protocol driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices over either RS-232 or RS-485 using McQuay MicroTech Open Protocol.
McQuay International has provided BAS manufacturers licensed access to stand-alone MicroTech unit controllers. The network access, which is called Open Protocol™, allows a BAS to monitor status and change limited control parameters in McQuay International HVAC equipment.
Monitoring and controlling MicroTech unit controllers may have required the use of a MicroTech system panel, depending on the unit type, number of units and other network requirements.
There are multiple combinations of MicroTech unit controllers and/or system panels (i.e. Open Protocol networks) that could use a FieldServer device. FieldServer-supported devices, McQuay Open Protocol controller descriptions, and network architecture diagrams are all described in the following section. The McQuay MicroTech® Open Protocol driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices over either RS-232 or RS-485 using McQuay MicroTech® Open Protocol. The FieldServer can emulate either a Server or Client. | {

With dollar low, US is one big outlet
Europeans arriving in droves for bargains
Email|Print| Text size – + By Jenn Abelson
Globe Staff / November 24, 2007
WRENTHAM - Hours after her flight from Dublin landed in Boston on Thanksgiving, Alice Kinsella headed in a white van with a dozen relatives and friends to Wrentham Village Premium Outlets. The 36-year-old has never visited Boston, but she is bypassing the sights for an extended weekend of binge shopping that started at midnight yesterday.
For Kinsella and other Europeans, America is one big discount bin, thanks to a weak dollar that slid this week to another record low against the euro. As a result, tourists are spending thousands to travel to the United States to snag blockbuster bargains on everything from iPods to designer clothes and handbags.
By 4 a.m. yesterday, Kinsella had rung up nearly $2,000 in Christmas presents and winter clothes, including a $79 black leather jacket at Guess that she estimated would cost more than $250 in Ireland.
"The bargains for us are so great," said Kinsella, who paid $1,000 for a flight and hotel but expects to save even more on purchases here.
Kinsella is one of a record 1,000 international tourists who scheduled organized shopping trips yesterday to Wrentham Village Premium Outlets - more than double the number last year. Hundreds more were expected to come on their own, according to Beth Winbourne, the outlet's general manager.
Foreign travelers have long visited the United States to get their holiday shopping fix. After all, many design er brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, and Guess are cheaper here because sales taxes are lower and because the bigger market here allows goods to be priced more competitively.
But now American wares are even more of a bargain as the slowing US economy has weakened the dollar. Further, as the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates to boost the economy, the dollar has lost even more value, and global investors have realized they won't earn as much when they park their cash in greenbacks. As a result, the euro has shot up by 33 percent compared with the dollar since 2002, so Europeans who exchange 1,000 euros now get close to 1,500 US dollars. And the Canadian dollar is worth as much as the US dollar for the first time in three decades.
While some US shoppers are tightening their purse strings this holiday season amid rising gasoline prices, the slumping housing market, and the current credit crunch, the one silver lining for some merchants is the tidal wave of foreign dollars pouring into US stores.
"With Americans looking to cut back and conserve because of economic uncertainties, the holy grail this holiday-season year for retailers are the international travelers who are coming here in record numbers," said Patrick Moscaritolo, president of the Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Boston is projecting a 14 percent increase in overseas visitors this month compared with November of last year. The visitors bureau is trying to attract them with a shopping promotion launched last week that gives passengers flying from the United Kingdom on American Airlines a special 11 percent savings card for use at Macy's in Downtown Crossing and CambridgeSide Galleria when they present their boarding passes. In January, the promotion will include new markets, such as France and Italy, and additional merchants in Massachusetts. The shopping excursions usually are arranged by tour operators abroad, but visitors also can schedule them once they arrive in Boston.
The weaker dollar also is promoting tourism. On Monday, the US Department of Commerce said this past summer was a record-breaking season for international travel to the United States. Both the number of travelers and overall spending by visitors surpassed previous highs. The nearly $30.7 billion foreign visitors spent this summer, which includes purchases of food, lodging, and gifts, was a 14 percent increase over the summer of last year.
The promise of bargain shopping is a major draw for some international travelers.
The International Council of Shopping Centers released a survey Wednesday reporting that 20 percent of Canadian households said a strong loonie would lure them to shop in the United States, and 19 percent said they planned to purchase holiday gifts by telephone or online from US retailers. Already, L.L. Bean, the preppy cataloger in Freeport, Maine, said it has seen orders from Canada rise more than 20 percent recently.
But the influx of foreign shoppers may not be enough to propel sales growth this holiday season.
The Retailers Association of Massachusetts, for instance, predicts a mere 2.2 percent increase in holiday retail sales this year over the same period last year, about half the sales growth forecast by the National Retail Federation. And the federation's prediction of a 4 percent increase in sales to $475 billion would make this holiday the slowest for sales growth since 2002, when sales rose 1.3 percent.
"The holiday sales season of 2007 will create competitive and profitability challenges for local retailers," said Jon B. Hurst, president of the state retail group. "There's no question that European and Canadian shoppers have been key targets of late."
In fact, officials at Simon Property Group and General Growth Properties, two of the country's largest mall operators, said they have increased international advertising to promote shopping excursions for foreign travelers.
And the weak dollar, coupled with promotions, seems to be working. Daniel Reid, an American who lives in London, said he planned to do nearly all of his Christmas shopping yesterday at the outlets in Freeport, Maine, to take advantage of the exchange rate. He and his wife are bringing extra duffel bags to carry their new purchases home.
A duffel bag might come in handy for Kinsella, the traveler from Dublin. After a few hours of rest at the Sheraton in Boston yesterday afternoon, she planned to hit CambridgeSide Galleria last night and return to the Wrentham outlets today for another round of spending that are likely to total $5,000.
Meanwhile, at 7 a.m. yesterday, as part of a separate organized trip, Mary Finnerty headed with more than a dozen shoppers from Limerick, Ireland, to Wrentham with $2,000 in her purse. The 43-year-old customer service representative spent nearly $600 on airfare and about $170 on a room at Jury's Hotel in Boston that she's sharing with three others, but said she'll save many more hundreds of dollars shopping.
Six hours into her shopping spree, she had racked up about $800 in purchases, including a $41 Estée Lauder perfume set and a $30 pair of Levi's jeans. She planned to return to her hotel at 8 p.m. - after more than 12 hours of shopping. Next up: South Shore Plaza in Braintree early today.
"I never expected the euro to be so strong," she said. "This may not happen again. So I'm spending like crazy and worrying about it later."

An asylum-seeker is a person who has left his/her country of origin and formally applied for asylum in another country but whose claim has not yet been concluded.
If an applicant is denied refugee status at the first instance level during refugee status determination (RSD), he/she can appeal this negative decision. Until a final decision is reached, this person remains an asylum-seeker. | {

Summit should rob MEPs of reasons to moan
The president of the European Commission made many friends among national parliamentarians when he promised to send them all new Commission proposals and invited them to participate in the process of policy-shaping in Brussels. But José Manuel Barroso's pledge has not endeared him to members of the European Parliament.
By European Voice
May 10, 2006 5:00 pm CET
The relationship between the Parliament and national assemblies has never been easy, as national parliaments felt that the rise of the Brussels assembly stripped them of much of their legislative power. In fact, the empowerment of the Parliament has come mostly at the expense of the Council of Ministers, which was at first the only EU legislator.
On the other hand, the Parliament is suspicious of moves from national assemblies to occupy territory in Brussels in the name of reconnecting with citizens. The fear is that national parliaments are trying to take advantage of the pause for reflection on the future of Europe to claw back more powers.
The two high spots in the debate on the future of Europe – a conference organised in November in The Hague and one organised in April in St Pölten, in Austria, focused, "obsessively" in one MEP's opinion, on subsidiarity and the role of national parliaments in EU decision-making. According to MEPs, while it is legitimate for national parliaments to have a say over EU matters, they should wield influence through their national governments. In other words, they should hear and give instructions to their government ministers on the way to vote in Brussels, in the Council of Ministers – if they can.
Barroso's point, on the other hand, is that MEPs, as well as all member states, have already agreed to involve national parliaments more in EU decision-making. The EU constitution did indeed propose a system under which all Commission documents would be sent to national assemblies and suggested that if at least one-third of them expressed doubts about the suitability of EU action in an area, the Commission would reconsider its proposal.

So why, when the European Parliament accepted this 'early warning mechanism' in the EU constitution, does it now oppose Barroso's pledges merely to inform national assemblies?
Because MEPs feel that picking this aspect of the constitution, while leaving the rest aside, would alter the balance of power between the institutions, and between them and national parliamentarians, to their detriment.
The subsidiarity mechanism was part of a bigger compromise and MEPs accepted it, somewhat reluctantly, because on the other hand, the constitution extended their powers as co-legislators over most EU areas. The constitution would have done away with the distinction between the two intergovernmental pillars (on justice and home affairs and foreign relations) and the community pillar, so strengthening the role of the Parliament and the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in the adoption of legislation and control of its implementation.
Now MEPs complain that in the absence of this quasi-generalisation of co-decision, inviting national parliaments to react to planned EU legislation before it reaches the European Parliament would weaken the position of the Brussels assembly.
The chairman of the Parliament's constitutional affairs committee, Jo Leinen, says that allowing national assemblies to react to Commission proposals before MEPs have a chance to discuss them would bring not only the Commission, but also, indirectly, the European Parliament, under the control of national parliamentarians. National parliaments would pre-empt the first reading by the European Parliament, he says.
While Barroso is right to try harder to associate national assemblies with EU decision-making, it is important that their entry onto the EU stage should not undo what five decades of EU integration have achieved: a functional and increasingly respectable European assembly.
The involvement of national parliaments in the early stages of debates about the Commission's proposals should be accompanied by other elements of the political package included in the constitution – those which can be applied without changing the current treaty. The June EU summit should decide to bring police and judicial co-operation in criminal matters under the Community rules (as allowed by Article 42 of the treaty, or the passerelle clause). It should also decide that these matters will in the future be adopted by qualified majority voting and co-decision, with proper democratic scrutiny by the European Parliament and the ECJ.
If such a balanced package is presented at the June summit, the European Parliament will have no reason to moan.

David Andrews first emerged as a co-leader, along with his longtime friend Caleb Klauder, of Calobo, which started out as an acoustic duo and then grew to a full-fledged group that mixed folk music with extended jam band passages. The band built a cult following in the Pacific Northwest and released several albums throughout the '90s. Andrews first stepped out as a solo artist with an EP in the late '90s. His debut full-length, the ragged, rootsy Get Me Out of This Place, emerged in the spring of 2000. David Andrews was raised in the San Juan Islands near Seattle, WA. As a youth, he played several instruments, including saxophone, piano, drums, and guitar. He attended boarding school in Southern California, where he played in a Grateful Dead cover band and sang in choral groups. As a Junior, he started seriously playing guitar. Upon graduation, Andrews spent some time ski bumming in Ketchum, ID, where he eventually landed paying gigs at local restaurants. He soon hooked up with Caleb Klauder to found Calobo in the early '90s. In between touring with Calobo, Andrews started playing frequent shows with some Seattle musicians, eventually cutting his own album with a group that included Ted Camp, Chris Murphy, and Sean Shaklett. ~ Erik Hage, Rovi

Responsive/Mobile Design is not an option anymore, it is Mandatory. Studies have shown that close to 50% of all internet traffic is done while on a mobile device. This means that (on average) over half of the traffic that visits your website, will be on a phone or tablet. To Websites by Daniel, this means that it is a must to incorporate all options for mobile devices.
At Websites by Daniel, what we build is mobile optimized and designed specifically with mobile devices in mind.
Websites by Daniel was created in 2016 and in that short time has generated some amazing websites for a variety of clients. We are looking forward to the websites and clients in the near future.

This is a huge meeting attended by some 22,000 respiratory professionals. The thing I love about attending big medical congresses is the vibe you pick up about what's hot in the science. It's partly seeing the queues outside particular sessions but it's also hearing the chatter over the coffee. The lung microbiome was definitely hot. Not that long ago, medical students were taught that the inner reaches of the lung were sterile. We now know that they team with bacteria, which strongly influence the onset of disease. For instance, studies of the microbiome in children with and without lower respiratory infection show that infection is the outcome of an ongoing turf war in the lung. Resident non-harmful bacteria normally keep potentially harmful bugs in check, but some children either don't have those peacekeepers or their efforts are overwhelmed. There was a host of other presentations showing the role of the microbiome in COPD (chronic progressive lung diseases), cystic fibrosis, asthma and many others. All of these illustrated the complex interplay between your environment, your bugs and you. What does this work mean? I think in the future you will see less emphasis on antibiotics and more on manipulating the lung environment to favour 'good' bacteria. I think you will see testing of the microbiome in the initial workup as the microbiome of the lung may be a way of phenotyping (essentially a way to sort people with the same symptoms into different treatment baskets) which in itself may mean more effective treatment. Before you ask, live 'good' bugs pumped into your lung? Unlikely I think.
The other thing that was hot was a big study from China on early-stage COPD. If you're a smoker, listen up. Normally, treatment is offered to those with symptoms, which means that their disease is already well on the march. Those in the earliest stages, when lung function is about 80% of what it should be, typically don't think there is anything wrong with them beyond a bit of a cough – "which is normal right if you smoke?" Yet their lung function is already declining. There is no screening for early-stage COPD because there's no evidence that treating it at this stage makes any difference. Now we have the first indications that this might not be the case. Giving a broncho dilating drug called tiotropium reduced the expected annual decline in lung function in the treatment group compared to placebo. It's a highly significant finding in China which is facing a vast problem caused not just by smoking but also by pollution and biomass burning. It's a study that potentially also opens the way to mass screening, say a lung function test for everyone, starting with smokers. Some might say why not just ban smoking – well, both and of course – but don't forget that there are a significant number of people who get COPD despite being never smokers.
Finally, an observation from me about the newly published Mirror study, which compared patient's and doctor's views of their relationship Patients admitted fibbing, being far less than honest than even their docs had imagined. Doctors also vastly underestimated the impact of severe lung disease on their patient's daily lives and were much more concerned by their lung measurements than with what patients could or couldn't do. It's a bit like us and the US, isn't it. Divided by a common language. My advice to patients is to tell your doctors what's important to you. And my advice to doctors is to ask ..and take what you're told with a pinch of salt or three. | {

Carboniferous, Permian and Jurassic tracks and trackways are well known from the rocks of Scotland (McKeever 1994; McKeever & Haubold 1996; Clark & Barco Rodriguez 1998; Hopkins 1999; Clark & Jewkes 2000; Clark 2001). Tracks from the Triassic are, however, poorly represented in Scotland despite a number of tetrapod remains being found from the Lower Norian Lossiemouth Sandstone Formation (Benton & Walker 1985). Trackways from the Hopeman Sandstone Formation and the Cutties' Hillock Sandstone Formation of Morayshire were previously considered to be Triassic, but are now thought to be uppermost Permian in age (Clark 1999; Hopkins 1999).
It was in 1850 that Harkness (1850a, b) mentioned the existence of 'footsteps of Chirotherium in relief primarily from Corse Hill Quarry, Annan, Dumfriesshire. As there is a lack of any description or illustrations of these footprints noted by Harkness, and as the tracks are now lost, it is impossible to substantiate the claim of Chirotherium from the Triassic of Dumfriesshire. More recently, Delair (1969) provides us with the first description of poorly preserved Scottish Triassic tracks. These tracks, which were found by two schoolboys near Violet Bank, Annan, were presented to the Dumfries Museum, Dumfries, and subsequently named Delairichnus annanensis by Haubold (1971a). Since then, no report of Scottish Triassic tracks has been noted in the literature except for one record of 'the fossil footprint of a large reptile (dinosaur?)' (McKerrow & Atkins 1985, p. 80) from the Triassic of SE Arran on Levencorroch Hill (grid reference [NS 011 219]). This specimen, now in the collections of Oxford University Museum (OUM), is described in this article and is the first verifiable record of Chirotherium from Scotland. The catalogue entry for this specimen (OUM G.53) indicates that it had been identified by M. King in 1992 as the left pes of Chirotherium. Other tracks on a loose block at the foot of a waterfall in the old sea cliffs (grid reference [NR 886 301]) 300 m NE of Cleiteadh nan Sgarbh in western Arran, NW of Blackwaterfoot (discovered by P. Aspen in 1993), form part of a trackway, consisting of two pedes and two manus (excursion 4, locality 12 of McKerrow & Atkins 1985). Since these discoveries, four in situ trackways of more than two tracks, five two-track trackways and a number of individual tracks, giving a total of 36 tracks, were discovered in the inter-tidal zone about 400 m north of Cleiteadh nan Sgarbh (grid reference [NR 885 304]) in August and November 2001 (Fig. 1). These occurrences of Chirotherium are described in this article.

The Triassic rocks on Arran are divided into two main units; the Auchenhew Beds and, below them, the Lamlash Beds (MacDonald & Herriot 1983). The older Lamlash Beds consist mostly of fluvial and aeolian sands with occasional caliche horizons (Pollard & Lovell 1976) and are thought to be approximately equivalent to the Sherwood Sandstone Group (Warrington et al. 1980). The Lamlash Beds are subdivided into the Lamlash Sandstone Formation and the Glen Dubh Sandstone Formation (Warrington et al. 1980; MacDonald & Herriot 1983). It is from the younger Auchenhew Beds (subdivided into the Lag a'Beith Formation, Auchenhew Mudstone Formation and the Levencorroch Mudstone Formation of Warrington et al. (1980) and thought to be approximately equivalent of the Mercia Mudstone Group) that trace fossils were first discovered in 1973 (Pollard & Lovell 1976; Pollard & Steel 1978, 1981; Lovell 1981). These consist of trace forms cf. 'Siphonites' cf. Cylindricum and epichnial burrows produced by ephemeral invertebrates in shallow fluviallacustrine sediments. Occasional occurrences of halite pseudomorphs in these beds indicates a continuation of arid conditions into the Auchenhew Beds and perhaps a marine influence prior to the onset of the fully marine Rhaetic sediments above (Pollard & Steel 1978, 1981; Lovell 1981). The tracks are all from the Auchenhew Beds and probably from a horizon above the level from which the miospore assemblage was obtained by Warrington (1973), but the precise horizons of the loose blocks from SE and Western Arran have not been determined. The age of the base of the Auchenhew Beds has been constrained by miospores to the late Scythian-Anisian (late Early-early Middle Triassic) (Warrington 1973). The existence of dinoflagellate-like acritarchs from the Auchenhew Beds suggests a marine influence, but does not preclude a non-marine environment of deposition as there are fresh-brackish water dinoflagellate species recorded in the fossil record (Warrington 1973; Mao et al. 1999).
The in situ trackways occur in a 35 cm thick, brown, medium-grained sandstone with two ripple-laminated levels (Fig. 2). Trackways 1, 2, 4, 7, 8 and 9 are found 3 cm above the lower rippled surface (level 1), and trackway 5 was found 3 cm above the upper rippled surface (level 2, which is 15 cm above the lower rippled surface). The crest strike of symmetrical ripples of the lower and upper surface trend from NW-SE to NE-SW. The top of the sandstone unit on the foreshore at Cleiteadh nan Sgarbh, which is equivalent to the top of bed D of Pollard & Steel (1978), has desiccation cracks as well as trackway 3 (level 4) and is about 90 cm above a horizon containing halite pseudomorphs. Trackway 6 is less than 4 cm below the desiccation cracks at the top of bed D (level 3). This unit has been interpreted as having been deposited in either a flood plain lake or a tidal flat area (Pollard & Steel 1978). Halite pseudomorphs have been previously recorded from the Chirotherium-bearing sediments of the Moenkopi Formation in Arizona, USA (Peabody 1948). The depositional environment of the Moenkopi Formation is interpreted as resulting from deposition in a standing body of brackish water with high evaporation. Most of the Chirotherium trackways are associated with dried and cracked mudflats deposited in a fluvial environment (Peabody 1948; Lockley et al. 1994). Pollard & Steel (1978) identified a NE direction to the palaeocurrents in this unit, although in this study, there appears to be a significant variation in the ripple crest strikes (Fig. 2). The top 5 cm of the red siltstone immediately below the track-bearing sandstone is discoloured to a grey-blue colouration and contains dolomitic nodules (<0.5 cm diameter) and quartz pebbles (>1 cm diameter). This, with the symmetrical ripples, is suggestive of a similar depositional environment to that found in the Moenkopi Formation of Arizona.

A silicone rubber mould of the loose block in the old sea cliff [NR 885 304], was used to make a cast of the tracks for the collections of the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow (GLAHM 114737). Silicone rubber T28 (15 kg) with T6 catalyst, thixotropic additive, TW catalyst booster, heavy chopped strand-mat glass fibre and DP 100 release agent (Tiranti) were used to produce a fast curing and rigid rubber mould. The T6 catalyst was mixed with the TW catalyst booster in a 5:1 ratio by weight for a cure time of about 1 h. The catalyst mixture was mixed with the T28 rubber and the thixotropic additive was added until the rubber was thick enough to adhere to the near-vertical sandstone block without slippage. This gave a working time of about 30 min. The sandstone containing the tracks was sprayed with the DP 100 release agent to prevent tears in the rubber on removal. The mould was used for photography and for making a replica cast for the collections at the Hunterian Museum.
Measurements of the in situ trackways (Fig. 3; Table 1) were taken following the scheme of Peabody (1948) and Haubold (1969, 1971a, b) as preservation allowed, and more detailed analysis of the better preserved tracks follows the scheme of Karl & Haubold (1998).

The specimen (OUM G.53) from Levencorroch Hill was collected in 1980 by Guy Plint and later donated to OUM by Brian Atkins (H. P. Powell pers. comm.). It is a natural cast of the left pes and includes digit V (Fig. 4). The anterior tips of the digits are broken making it difficult to compare their relative lengths crucial in specific diagnosis. Digit V is angled laterally to digits I-IV as is characteristic of chirotheroid tracks. A tentative identification of Chirotherium cf. barthii is based on digit III, appearing to be longer than the other digits I-IV, and digit IV, the next longest.

The better preserved pes of the trackway from near King's Cave, western Arran (GLAHM 114737) (Figs. 5 & 6c), has the characteristic longer III digit with digits IV and II being shorter, respectively (Table 1). The relative lengths of the digits and the total length of the pes are consistent with the identification of C. barthii for this trackway. The preservation of the tracks from the trackways and single tracks (Figs. 6a, b, d & 7a-i, k, 1) is very poor due to erosion by the sea and bioerosion. Despite the poor preservation, it is still possible in some tracks to see that digit III is longer than the other digits and that digit V is angled laterally to digits I-IV (Figs. 7a-i, k, 1). The largest tracks with an apparent pL (Fig. 3) of up to 400 mm are much larger than any previous record of C. barthii. The measured length of these tracks of trackway 3 may be long due to a mounding displacement of the sand around the track depression (Fig. 71). This would give a false measurement for pL and pV (Fig. 3), although the pace and stride lengths are not significantly different from the other trackways on Arran (Table 1). This would suggest that the use of pL and pV in species determination in poorly preserved tracks of Chirotherium is unreliable as the sediment displacement may distort the true values. It is also difficult to assess the level at which the true track was made; however, it appears that most of the tracks represented are underprints as the manus are rarely preserved. This could also give a false reading on the pL and pV as the transmitted track may have different dimensions.

Circles mark position of individual pes positions (the pen-knife in (b) and (c) is 9 cm long).
Individual pes tracks from trackways showing variation in preservation: (a)-(c) from trackway 8; (d)–(h) from trackway 5; (i) from trackway 9; (j) the anterior of digit IV of the Levencorroch specimen (OUM G 53) showing ?scratch striae ( x 0.9); (k) track 4 showing pes and manus outlined (× 0.22; Table 1); (1) track 7 from trackway 3 outlined (x 0.20; IV; Table 1). All × 0.14 except where otherwise stated.
Many of the tracks have been infilled by a lighter coloured carbonate-cemented sand allowing them to be easily identified (Figs. 6b & 7b, d-h, k), whereas others are less obvious shallow underprint depressions (Figs. 6a & 7a, c, i, 1). Specimen GLAHM114737 is probably a natural cast on a mud-cracked surface as both the pedes and manus are present (Figs. 5 & 6c).
The manus is not well preserved in most tracks and has only been measured in three cases. The best preserved manus being that of track 4 (Fig. 7k; Table 1) with a mL of 80 mm and a mV of 120 mm. Again, the uncertainty of the accuracy of these measurements makes it difficult for useful comparison with other species although the measurements do fall in the size range for C. barthii and Isochirotherium herculis (Haubold 1969).
The pace angulation (ap) range of 115–178° for the Arran trackways covers the measured pace angulation of 170° for C. barthii, and the stride:pL ratio of 4.3:1 is close to the value of 5:1 used in the diagnosis for C. barthii suggested by Peabody (1948) (Haubold 1971b). For the same features, the diagnostic values used for I. herculis are 140–160° and 4.5:1, respectively. The main difference between C. barthii and I. herculis is the relative lengths of the pes digits. The length of the foot (pL), which is 250 mm or less in C. barthii and over 300 mm in I. herculis (Peabody 1948; Haubold 1971b) is unreliable as a diagnostic character for reasons previously mentioned and also for ontogenetic reasons.
The track from Levencorroch (OUM G.53) and many of the tracks from trackways 5 (Figs. 7d-h) and 8 (Fig. 7b) are natural casts filling undertracks or deep true tracks. The other tracks from the loose block (Fig. 5) and trackways 8 (Figs. 7a, c) and 9 (Fig. 7i) that appear as shallow imprints are likely to be undertracks where the natural casts have been removed. The trackway surface is, therefore, at the top of, or above, the present track levels. This may account for the poor preservation of, or lack of, the manus imprints as the force applied to the manus was less than that of the pedes and so would not transmit as well. In the Levencorroch track (OUM G.53), the anterior portion of digit IV shows distinct parallel striae that appear to have been caused by claw marks as it was drawn through the sediment (Fig. 7j).
C. barthii is a relatively widespread form of Chirotherium having been found in England as C. stortonense (now considered to be C. barthii) (Haubold 1971b; Tresise & Sarjeant 1997); Arizona, USA (Peabody 1948); Argentina as C. higuerensis (see Peabody 1955); Spain, France and Germany (Haubold 1971b). The data provided by Haubold (1971b) from the type locality at Hilburghausen, and also from Arizona (Peabody 1948), suggest that C. barthii has a shorter pes than the Arran specimens, although the strides and paces are of the same order (Table 2). Very few chirotheroids have a similarly long pes length. I. herculis, C. moquiensis and C. rex all have pes lengths of about 300 mm (Peabody 1948; Haubold 1971a, b). The tracks from Arran are not Isochirotherium due to toe III being the longest, and toes II and IV being subequal in length. These relative lengths are characteristic of C. barthii, although the pes length is much greater than the maximum length of 250 mm quoted by Peabody (1948) in his diagnosis for that species. The claw marks on the Arran specimens are triangular like that of C. moquienesis rather than the spatulate-like claw marks described by Peabody (1948) of C. rex. However, specimen GLAHM114737 differs from C. moquienesis in that the row of metatarsal-phalangeal joints form a transverse arch similar to that seen in C. barthii.
Beasley's A1 form was synonymized with C. barthii by Haubold (1971b) and it has been suggested by King & Thompson (2000) that Beasley's A2 form may also be C. barthii. Beasley himself had doubts over the validity of his A2, A3 and K forms (Tresise 1995; Tresise & Sarjeant 1997), although the A3 forms have since been given the ichnospecies name I. herculis (Edgerton 1839). Although the Arran tracks are longer than the diagnostic value of pL, it is considered that the pes length is less conservative than the relative lengths of the digits. It is, therefore, considered that the Arran tracks represent large examples of C. barthii rather than I. herculis or any other chirotheroid species.
Gregory (1915) placed the Levencorroch marls (Levencorroch Mudstone Formation of Warrington et al. 1980) at the base of the Keuper (Middle Triassic) and the Auchenhew shales and sandstones (Auchenhew Mudstone Formation of Warrington et al. 1980) in the Bunter Formation (Lower Triassic). This was supported by the work of Tyrrell (1925), and Craig (1965) adapted this to form the tripartate scheme of Lamlash Beds, Auchenhew Beds and Rhaetian black mudstone. The dating of the base of the Auchenhew Beds by Warrington (1973) to the late Scythian or Anisian age is slightly younger than the age suggested by Gregory (1915). Lovell (1983) placed the horizons from which the trace fossils were studied (Pollard & Lovell 1976; Pollard & Steel 1978, 1981; Lovell 1981) at about the same level as the miospore assemblage studied by Warrington (1973). The base of the Mercia Mudstone Group in Arran (thought to be equivalent to the Auchenhew Beds) (Warrington et al. 1980) may be isochronous with part of the Sherwood Sandstone Group in the Vale of Eden and Solway Firth (Lovell 1983). This is consistent with a northward migration of the St Bees Sandstone Formation (Jones & Ambrose 1994; Holliday et al. 2001). Correlation between the Triassic basins of Scotland, England and Ireland is very difficult due to the range in thicknesses and lack of continuity of lithological units (Taylor et al. 1971), however, Lovell (1983) showed the Rathlin, Arran and Ulster basins to be inter-connected. Some attempts have been made to correlate the Triassic of southern Scotland with the Cumberland rocks (Horne & Gregory 1916; Greig 1971), the latest being the study by Holliday et al. (2001), who proposed that a gamma-ray log high at the base of their ES3 unit (Eden Shale Formation) may be a useful chronostratigraphic marker to correlate as far as the East Irish Sea and North Sea. In Cumbria, it appears as though this marker is close to the base of the St Bees Sandstone Formation. The Annanlea and Warmanbie Sandstones can be correlated with the St Bees Sandstone Formation of northern England (Horne & Gregory 1916), the top of which may be synchronous with part of the base of the Mercia Mudstone Group as represented on Arran. It is also possible, therefore, that the occurrence of tracks on Arran is approximately synchronous with the top of the Sherwood Sandstone Group of the Cheshire Basin as shown in Lovell (1983). Lower Triassic tracks are rare from the Cheshire Basin and East Irish Sea Basin, although chirotheroid tracks are known from both these basins including possible examples of C. barthii (King & Thompson 2000). A chirotheroid track is also known from rocks of similar age from the top of the Sherwood Sandstone Formation of Scrabo, Northern Ireland (Buckman et al. 1998).
We would like to thank Graeme Walker and Dr. Colin MacFadyen of Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) for helping to organize permissions and funding, to allow this project to advance at a time when fanning was hit by an outbreak of Foot and Mouth disease. Paul Dady and Stephen Caine are thanked for their helpful advice on field moulding techniques and products. Joe Cherrie and John Riddell are thanked for producing a cast of the trackway from the sea-cliff section for the Hunterian Museum. Phil Powell and Helen Cowdy of OUM are thanked for their help in providing images and the specimen from Levencorroch Hill. Dr. Julie Fitzpatrick of the Vet School, University of Glasgow is thanked for her advice on Foot and Mouth, and the farmer at Drummadoon Farm is thanked for allowing us to pass through his farm to access the tracks. Dr. Mike Taylor of the National Museums of Scotland is thanked for reading an earlier version of this manuscript, and Dr. Mike Romano is also thanked for his useful comments.

So-called "protests" are clearly being orchestrated by well-funded, shadowy villains
The response thus far from congressional Republicans to the ongoing chaos, destruction and violence being fomented by the Left in "protest" of black encounters with law enforcement has been nothing short of "limp-wristed," according to Brian Camenker, writing for American Thinker.
Even though it is undeniably clear at this point that the so-called "protests" taking place in cities all across America are contrived by domestic terrorists, the Right is barely even pretending to try to stop it – which, in effect, is sanctioning violence and allowing it to flourish.
Even though 50 Republican congressmen did recently send a letter to Attorney General William Barr calling on the Department of Justice (DoJ) to investigate the groups that are quite obviously behind the riots, it may be too little, too late now that they have already gained a strong foothold, emboldening them to continue their mission with ferocity.
Among others, the pro-family organization MassResistance is wondering why our so-called "conservative" leaders waited this long to take action, especially when evidence abounds to suggest that well-funded, well-organized anarchist and revolutionary entities are behind all the chaos.
"Who masterminded all this?" asks Camenker. "The idea of staging riots across America, the large-scale propaganda campaign, and the intense ideology behind it did not suddenly appear when George Floyd died. It has clearly been in the works for a long time by dedicated radicals."
Camenker points to things like the banners being held, weaponry being wielded, and even clothing being worn by the "protesters," all of which is mysteriously being coordinated in just the right places at just the rights times.
"In city after city, the tactics, banners, clothing, weaponry, etc. have been virtually identical," Camenker notes. "Vans with supplies traveling cross-country have been intercepted. Out-of-state perpetrators have been arrested. It's obviously being centrally planned and coordinated.
Antifa, Black Lives Matter riot-"protests" are a "very professional operation"
In Portland, as you may recall, "protesters" suddenly began pointing lasers in coordinated fashion at law enforcement officers in order to blind them. Who equipped them with these lasers, let alone taught them how to use these devices?
What about the military helmets, protective gloves, body armor and explosives? Who gave the "protesters" these weapons of war and taught them how to use all this gear – and perhaps even more importantly, who paid for it all?
Somehow, "protesters" in nearly every city where "protests" have taken place brought what the Left routinely refers to as "assault" weapons to the fight, even though many of them clearly do not even know how to use these firearms. Where are they getting this weaponry?
Another question with no clear answer involves who is coordinating the delivery of the "tools" these "protesters" are using to destroy car dealerships, for instance. In Kenosha, as one example, "protesters" came with "sledgehammer-like hardware," which they used to systematically bash in all the car windows on the lot.
These "protesters" also had firebombs that they used to set everything on fire after bashing it in, as well as "bricks to injure" police officers, and "bottles of urine to throw at them."
"When breaking into stores, they have the weaponry for that," further notes Camenker, who believes it is undeniable that the whole thing is being coordinated from behind the scenes, and is in no way organic.
"The logistics of bringing together the large numbers of people, materials, and supplies and transporting them to the riot sites (and then bringing them back again) – along with the communication network – are not insignificant – not to mention training the rioters, housing them, and feeding them," he adds.
"This is a very professional operation."

Hollywood Chris Battle Royale: Hemsworth, Evans and Pratt Join Pine as Academy Members
"Wonder Woman" star loses his edge in the battle of famous Chrises
Matt Donnelly | June 28, 2017 @ 3:26 PM Last Updated: June 28, 2017 @ 3:37 PM
Sorry, Chris Pine. Your major competitors in the Chris Battle Royale just caught up considerably in the race for Best Hollywood Chris.
The internet has been obsessed for months with pitting actors Chris Pratt, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and Pine against each other, and a leading edge in Pine's favor has now been leveled.
The Motion Picture Academy unveiled its 2017 invitees on Wednesday, tipping Pratt, Evans and Hemsworth to join the organization that chooses the annual Academy Award winners in one fell swoop.

Pine was previously the only Chris in the bunch to be a member, having scored that in 2015.
There's no not doubt how real the Chris Battle can get. Pine has had an undeniable edge of late thanks to the runway success of "Wonder Woman" this summer, in which he plays Gal Gadot's love interest.
While hosting "Saturday Night Live" in May to promote the Patty Jenkins film, Pine even sang a song about the rivalry.
"I'm not that Chris / I look just like him, but I'm not that Chris / Not Pratt or Hemsworth / I'm a different guy / Not Evans either / I'm my own cool vibe," he sang.
Vanity Fair wrote a primer on this weeks after the SNL moment, saying "a Chris preference is a very personal thing; there is no one true right answer, but we can now say beyond a shadow of a doubt that if Pine has not necessarily leapt to first place, he's very, very close."

A week later, Jezebel released its official endorsement for top Chris, naming Pine as their pick. It's impossible to say how long he'll hold momentum.
The fall movie season will belong to Hemsworth with the release of Marvel's "Thor: Ragnarok," and he'll use shirtless health magazine covers, Ellen DeGeneres games, Fallon lip-syncs and god knows what else to capture the hearts of American people.
But success may be short lived. Evans will return as Captain America in "Avengers: Infinity War," and Pratt will bounce back with "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom."
"This ones on top, then that ones on top and on and on it spins crushing those on the ground," goes Daenerys Targaryen's famous quote. Will one Chris ever break the wheel?
11 WTF Academy Invites: From Lou Ferrigno to Terry Crews (Photos)
The Motion Picture Academy made amazing strides in its goal to diversify membership -- but some of their invites this year are questionable. Read on for TheWrap's tally of oddballs, and people you would think have been members for years.
The Old Spice spokesman has had an impressive if not niche acting career. Still a bit of a head-scratcher, but the man brings a ton of joy and muscles wherever he pops up, so we'll take it.
The kitschy '70s start ("The Incredible Hulk" TV series) mostly takes B-movie action roles or plays heightened versions of himself ("I Love You, Man"). But we'll welcome him with a smile because we know what happens when he gets angry.
With all due respect to child stars who chug along into adulthood as actors, including "Harry Potter"'s platinum blonde baby villain, this seems like a stretch -- or perhaps a nod to the iconic books turning 20 this year.
Same thing goes here for Grint, the lovable Ron Weasely.
How in GOD's NAME was this show business legend not already an Academy member? But this is another example of "Its' Never Too Late" in the 95-year-old's career.

Allen is best known for playing Lydia in the iconic film "Fame," but she's long been a choreographer for the Oscars telecast. She's essentially the Bruce Vilanch of dance at the Academy, so this is a long-overdue internal promotion.
Hunt was a national treasure during her late-aughts TV show and a rare female producer and star, though she's mostly been putting in voice work on animated projects like "Cars" for the past decade.
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis
These R&B icons, most famous for their shepherding of Janet Jackson's most memorable albums, might seem curious additions to the film academy. The men have put in hundreds of songs on movie soundtracks over the years, however.
Jeanne Triplehorn
Don't get us wrong, we're obsessed with Triplehorn. "Sliding Doors"? Amazing. "Big Love"? She was the show. But the actress does fall somewhere on a spectrum of "Why isn't she already a member" and "Really?"
It's confounding to think Whedon was not previously invited to join the Academy's ranks. Not only is he a commercially proven force, thanks to his "Avengers" gigs, but he can do high-brown (like his contemporary take on Shakespeare's "As You Like It") and cult stardom with his TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
From randoms to those you thought were longtime members, here are the most eyebrow-raising invites of 2017

Chewing Over Wild Strawberries
There are three proto Scenes From a Marriage in Wild Strawberries, currently in revival at Film Forum: the relationship between Professor Borg's (Victor Sjostrom) son, Evald (Gunnar Bjornstrand), a nihilistic character perhaps based on Turgenev's Basarov, and his wife Marianne (Ingrid Thulin), that of the argumentative couple Borg and Marianne pick up, who polarize over their immersion alternately in hysteria and religion, and that of Borg with his diseased wife Karin, (Gertrude Fridh). Then there's the wonderfully comic punch fest between two of the hitchhikers over the existence of God and the opening sequence of the film in which Borg has the Daliesque dream in which he confronts a clock with no hands, a figure with a gnarled face and finally his own corpse which grabs at him from its casket. But actually two of the most touching and artful parts of the film take place towards the film's end, when Borg finally reaches his destination. The three youngsters he's driven give him a bouquet of flowers, but the professor cuts short the sentimentality reminding everyone that they'll be late for the ceremony. For just a moment the screen darkens, before Borg proceeds to accept his honor. The effect is subtle, but it's like an old-fashioned flashbulb shot in which a moment of light is punctuated by darkness and it will make many viewers gulp. Later, in a memory Sara (Bibi Andersson), the woman Borg loved and lost to his brother reappears and holds a mirror up to the aged Borg, whose face's reflection is visible to the viewer. He'd already relived his early loss, but now a suitor to memory itself, he's rejected all over again, simply because he's too old for the past. At the very end, Evald and Marianne return early from the ball because Marianne has broken her heel. It's a wonderful detail which accompanies Victor Sjostrom's last pose before the camera (as Wild Strawberries marked the end of a career that began in silent film).

Q: Why can there be fire in space while there is no oxygen? The sun is made of fire but fire needs oxygen right? So..
*
*Why can there be flames in space, while there's no oxygen?
*Same idea as with the rocket engines of the spaceship, which also produce fire while there's no oxygen?
A: The Sun isn't "made of fire". It's made mostly of hydrogen and helium. Its heat and light come from nuclear fusion, a very different process that doesn't require oxygen. Ordinary fire is a chemical reaction; fusion merges hydrogen nuclei into helium, and produces much more energy. (Other nuclear reactions are possible.)
As for rockets, they carry both fuel and oxygen (or another oxidizer) with them (at least chemical rockets do; there are other kinds). That's the difference between a rocket engine and a jet engine; jets carry fuel, but get oxygen from the air.

Kamaiu Johnson Victorious in Second Straight APGA Tour TPC Las Vegas Tourney

LAS VEGAS, NV. – APGA Tour shining star Kamaiu Johnson moved back into the winner's circle Tuesday, conquering difficult conditions to win the APGA Tour at TPC Las Vegas for the second year in a row.
The victory, his third career win on the APGA Tour, came in a single-day competition after Monday's first-round was called off as winds gusting to 70 MPH made competition unsustainable.
One of the APGA Tour's most recognizable players, Johnson became a prominent story in 2021 when his PGA TOUR debut at the Farmers Insurance Open was scuttled by a positive COVID-19 test.
The golf world rallied in support of Johnson and the APGA Tour and he was invited to three PGA TOUR events in the ensuing months, fulfilling his dream of competing at the highest level.
"It was quite a journey last year, for sure," said Johnson, the Tallahassee native now residing in Orlando.
"Then my daughter was born in October and that was amazing. Now, I'm more relaxed, patient. I know she's going to love me whether I shoot 82 or 62."
Last year, Johnson fired a final-round 70 to win at TPC Las Vegas by a single stroke. This year, he was two strokes better than Aaron Beverly of Fairfield, California, Joseph Hooks of Farmington Hills, Michigan, and Willie Mack III of Grand Blanc, Michigan, who tied for second with 2-over-par 73s.
Johnson won the tournament on the 591-yard par-5 15th hole. He drove into the rough, punched out up the fairway, and then holed out for eagle from 133 yards with a gap wedge. "It bounced a couple of times and then rolled in," Johnson added.
"I saw it the whole way."
His winning 71 was even par on the 6,699-yard layout with two birdies and two bogeys on the front nine. On the back, he carded the eagle plus two bogeys, good enough as the rest of the field battled the windy conditions.
Johnson's other credentials include winning the APGA Tour season-end championship in 2020 plus one start on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2021 and a start this past January at the Farmers Insurance Open. Johnson won $7,500 from the $25,000 purse.
The APGA Tour is back in action on April 18-19 with APGA Tour at TPC Scottsdale in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The APGA Tour was established in 2010 with the mission to bring greater diversity to the game of golf by hosting and operating professional golf tournaments, player development programs, mentoring programs, and introducing the game to inner-city young people.
The tour has grown from seven events with $200,000 in prize money in 2020 and 14 events with over $400,000 in prize money in 2021, and now 18 events with over $700,000 in prize money in 2022.
