"It seems no one in the public can forget the leaked tapes of Alec Baldwin calling his then-11-year-old daughter Ireland a “thoughtless little pig,” and other hateful things. There’s a good reason for that: it was verbal abuse, and a very difficult thing to hear. But Ireland, who is now 17 and seems to have a wonderful relationship with her dad, wants to stop hearing about it. She took to tumblr to make a plea:\n\nJust like almost all of you, my Dad has made some mistakes in the past. He has spoken out of place, he has let his temper get the best of him, and he has reacted towards things in ways he shouldn’t have. I get hateful replies and threats regarding mistakes of my Dad’s past. This isn’t fair. I had nothing to do with anything that happened back then, so I don’t fully understand why I am being targeted. More importantly, my Dad has moved on. He recognized that he needed to change, so he made changes. He is now healthy, happily married with a baby on the way. He moved on, so why can’t you?\n\nThe 6’2″ and svelte model also took people on social media to task for calling her fat and/or unattractive:\n\nWhat I don’t fully understand, is what is the good in commenting on a photo of a 17 year old girl and calling her fat, ugly, etc? Is that helping you in some way? I’m confused. I know girls tend to have nasty things to say about other girls and judging the looks of other girls is only human of us all, but putting that out there is hateful and unhealthy. If you don’t have a complimentary thing to say about someone, keep it to yourself. I am not just talking about comments on photos of myself. I see hateful comments everywhere.\n\nIreland is making some good points here. What do you think? Should everyone stop talking about Alec’s past mistakes as a father? Do you think people will ever stop making mean comments about others’ appearance online?"

"Plenty of outstanding performances came out of the Bernie Magee Class Meet Saturday morning. Check back as our race videos and photos begin uploading later this evening.\n\nDespite not having their top runner Chloe Gonzalez compete the defending Meet of Champions squad and NJ#1 ranked North Hunterdon girls showed their depth at Bernie Magee dominating the meet merge with a 19:29 average.\n\nThey were led by Emily Nugent who won the senior race with the third fastest time of the meet at 18:36. She may have even gone faster if it weren't for a errant turn that took her off course for a bit leading to a longer distance covered. The fact that she still ranked third in the merge is an exciting sign of things to come. Her post-race interview led to more exciting news with the announcement of her commitment to Syracuse University next fall. Teammate Alexandra Carlson also won the sophomore division running 19:20.\n\nWestfield girls with 101 points and Ridge at 112 finished second and third in the merge.\n\nThe overall leader for the girls meet was Daisy Liljegren of Northern Highlands running 18:13, she held off Julia Trethaway of West Morris Central, 18:21, to win the junior race. Liljegren now ranks fourth all-time on the course since its redesign in 2017, Trethaway up to sixth.\n\nAnother story from this meet was Natalie Tyner, a state champ in North Carolina, unfortunately displaced by Hurricane Florence. The Laney HS senior is staying in New Jersey for the time being with family and was looking for a meet to open her season, she finished fourth in the senior race running 19:17 the eighth fastest time of the meet.\n\nThe girls freshman winner was Orlins Madison of Mendham 12:30 over 3400m.",

"On the boys side we saw plenty of fireworks as well. The senior race showdown between Mendham's Jack Stanley and Passaic's Luis Peralta did not disappoint! As they came over the crest into view Stanley had the lead and despite a very strong push from Peralta over the final 600m Stanley held him off to the line 15:40 to 15:41. The two fastest times of the meet!\n\nBenedictus Bago of Snyder, 15:52, and Ben Fleischer of Scotch Plains-Fanwood, 15:57, also in that race the only other two to run under 16 minutes in the merge.\n\nThe junior race was won by Luke Lusskin of West Morris Central at 16:04, sophomores by Will McGlynn of Westfield 16:32, and the quickest freshmen time went to Jackson Barna of Ridge HS who posted an 11:01 to win the 3400m Freshmen B race.\n\nAlso a big shoutout to those at the Central Park of Morris County for accepting cross country with open arms. They've put in permanent fixtures just for cross country such as spectator fencing, wooden posts and ropes for finish chutes, and tirelessly working on improving the footing around the course.\n\nAlso a big shoutout to those at the Central Park of Morris County for accepting XC with open arms. They've put in permanent fixtures just for XC such as spectator fencing, wooden posts and ropes for finish chutes, and always working to improve the footing around the course. pic.twitter.com/qRKyFOI1Cf"

"Carlin’s not doing much to make Ka-Zar his own. He follows the existing template well–down to Shanna’s step-daughter being emotionally affecting from her first panel–and it feels like a good impression of Bruce Jones.\n\nExcept Carlin doesn’t spend a lot of time on his protagonists’ emotions. He doesn’t keep their self-reflections going throughout the issue, instead using them episodically. It’s not a bad approach, it just gives the narrative a staggered feel.\n\nTo be fair, Carlin does get a lot done. He probably has enough content in the issue it’d run six “decompressed.” Ka-Zar and Shanna have a wedding and even get married, along with fighting a demonic bad guy and saving some people. Throw in another five or six pages of villain scenes and you’ve got a packed issue.\n\nFrenz does fine fitting it all in. Even if his pencils aren’t beautiful or even ambitious."

"Inglewood, Calif. native D Smoke caught his big break by winning Netflix's Rhythm + Flow hip-hop reality competition show in 2019, but he's far from green. Coming from an extremely musical family that includes a mother who was a minister of music, TDE singer SiR as a sibling and uncle Andrew Gouche, who was Prince's last bass player, D Smoke unsurprisingly got into playing the piano and rapping at the ripe age of 10.\n\nAfter years of honing his craft to perfect his lyricism, his flow and his ability to seamlessly shift between rapping in English and Spanish, D Smoke's Rhythm + Flow win solidified his place in the game. In October of 2019, the 34-year-old rhymer released his Inglewood High EP, and in February of 2020, his debut album, Black Habits, was released. Bars with substance, odes to family and singing alongside his mother are included on his debut effort. His songs \"Last Supper\" and \"On Paper\" have amassed over 7 million and 2 million Spotify streams respectively, and continue to grow. Now, D Smoke eyes a spot on the Freshman list."

"Slowing down the aging process",
null,
"Slowing down the aging process\n\nUnfortunately, there is a widespread belief that all man-made prescription drugs have adverse side effects and that natural substances don’t. Moreover, many such substances are available without a prescription as dietary supplements. This can cause problems. For example, metformin (Glucophage®) is the first line treatment for type-2 diabetes, or T2D. Metformin is also quite useful in preventing T2D in people who are pre-diabetic. It reduces the amount of glucose that is released from the liver and increases the transport of glucose into muscles, increasing insulin sensitivity and decreasing glucose absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. Metformin may also be useful in treating other diseases, and possibly even slowing down aging. It reduces the incidence of cancer and mortality, while helping people retain proper cognitive function. It may also affect aging by activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and reducing DNA damage. So, metformin favorably influences metabolic and cellular processes that are closely linked to the development of age-related problems, such as inflammation and cellular senescence. Since it is so inexpensive and easy to obtain, metformin could be especially useful in countries where many people don’t have much money.\n\nPerhaps the most exciting potential use of metformin is in extending the lifespan of not just people who have diabetes, but also in slowing down the aging process. It does this by affecting several biochemical pathways that are important in how prediabetics age.\n\nMetformin (850 mg twice daily) was administered to subjects in a Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP). It reduced the incidence of T2D by 31% compared to placebo after three years and prevented diabetes. Moreover, metformin improved risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and subclinical atherosclerosis (coronary artery calcium) in male participants. Partly due to these important health benefits of metformin, some scientists are rejecting the idea that we die of old age. Instead, we die of cumulative failures that occur within our cells and tissues. These failures are not inevitable breakdowns. They are reversible conditions of aging.\n\nOne of the most important of these failures is a less active AMPK. Its concentration is relatively high when we are young, but decreases with age. Recent studies have suggested that increasing the activity of AMPK can prevent and possibly reverse the life-shortening effects of aging. Some scientists are beginning to refer to AMPK as a suppressor of aging itself. As AMPK decreases when we age, we become less energetic and more obese, while becoming increasingly vulnerable to cancer and diseases associated with impaired DNA and protein function. As a person accumulates abdominal fat, this leads to reduced insulin sensitivity, system-wide smoldering inflammation and metabolic syndrome. This, in turn, can lead to many forms of cancer, as well as cardiovascular, neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases (including T2D).\n\nThe modern Western lifestyle with its overabundance of nutrients and low level of physical activity exacerbates this. When a person’s caloric intake is too high and/or physical activity too low, AMPK activation decreases. As a result, cells decrease their energy-releasing ATP-generating activities and shift to energy-storing processes that generate new fat deposits and make excess new glucose. Moreover, energy inefficiency eventually leads to the dysfunctions that are often described as inevitable diseases (or symptoms) of aging. So, restoring the activity of AMPK in the elderly may not only increase longevity, but also help to fight the symptoms of aging. This hypothesis was supported by a clinical study in which subjects with T2D either received metformin (which activates AMPK) or placebo. They were compared to subjects who did not have T2D. It was found that the subjects who were diabetic and received metformin lived a median of 15% longer than did matched controls without diabetes. So, there is a clinical trial underway, called Metformin in Longevity Study (MILES) and another that is being planned called Targeting Aging with Metformin, or TAME. These studies will look at the effects of metformin on longevity.\n\nHowever, there could be an important factor that could lead to a serious mistake. One way that metformin can increase the lifespan of cancer patients is by inhibiting our natural antioxidant system, called the Nrf2/ARE system. At moderate doses, many dietary antioxidants in green tea as well as many colorful fruits and vegetables can activate this system. This can prevent the accumulation of too many free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS). It’s also possible that the much higher doses of pure dietary antioxidants (like ECGC and resveratrol) can also prevent the accumulation of ROS. This might be able to prevent many diseases caused by smoldering inflammation (like cancer and cardiovascular diseases). However, once a patient gets cancer and starts chemo- and/or radiation therapy, such dietary supplements could become deadly. That is, cancer cells can hijack the Nrf2/ARE system to make them multidrug resistant and resistant to chemotherapy. So, the same things that prevent cancer can reduce the lifespan of patients who get cancer and start chemo- and/or radiation therapy. So, physicians and oncologists who are treating patients with chemo- and/or radiation therapy should probably warn their patients about the potential dangers of taking dietary supplements that contain high doses of pure antioxidants. Moreover, the use of such supplements should be carefully controlled in the MILES and TAME clinical trials.",

"I picked away a little more at Project #6. Last time, I ended with a stunningly cynical view of Jay's private school, and his classmates.\n\nYou'd think, with all the crap going on in my personal life right now, that writing Jay would be easy. But he's not.\n\nI'm not good at writing angry characters, because I don't get angry. Sure, I'll have momentary bursts of frustration, but holding onto bad things, letting them fester into grudges & bitterness... I'm just not that type. I think anger is self-destructive and inefficient. It never makes a bad situation better, it merely inflates it.\n\nIt's too exhausting to bother with.\n\n\nSo Jay is hard for me to write. Probably the hardest character type I've tried so far. There's not as much personality/voice in this section as I'd like, but that's a problem to be fixed at a later time.\n\nBUT, the bit about the cat scratches... based on a true story :) My scars are on my stomach though ;)\n\nAnyways, here ya go. Proof that I actually am being somewhat productive. EDIT: finished the chapter.",

"I created my first male character that I actually felt comfortable playing this weekend. I’d wanted to try druid, as they have such versatility as a hybrid class, and I was bored with the night elf starting area, so I created my tauren druid. Honestly, there’s not a huge amount of physical difference between male and female tauren, not like the humanoid races in Warcraft…I can’t handle the grotesquely huge chest and arms, and the pissed-off and/or constipated faces that most of the male characters have. Plus, I relate to characters very personally, so I always play females. This guy was different…from the start, he had a personality and a bit of a story to tell.\n\nHe’s a shy type, very sweet despite his looks; he can usually be seen sitting under a tree with his nose in a book. His family don’t understand him, and his father won’t speak to him because the boy has a serious lack of testosterone. He’s a daydreamer. He can fight, but he will go out of his way to avoid fights…he’s a flower picker and a bookworm and a bit of an artist. I like him.",

"[Part 2 of a 3-part series on becoming a woman of strength and dignity.]\nThere was a garden. There was a beautiful young woman. There was a deceitful serpent. There was the promise of power and control.\nShe took the fruit, believed the lie, and with one bite, the world was forever changed.\nThe world was forever changed because one woman could not stop her craving for control.\nAnd we’ve been fighting the battle ever since. The battle between being capable, intelligent women who have been given skills to lead – and also being created with a specific role that is not to dominate over men.\nWhat to do with that in a culture that has been pushing for more than half a century for equal rights between men and women – and swinging the pendulum rather far away from the housewifely stereotype?\nGood question … because I’m a woman who likes control way too much, and who also believes in leadership so much that she works at developing a leadership program for a national theater company.\nI also believe in the beauty of men’s and women’s roles as God created them to be in Ephesians 5. Does that make me a hypocrite? I don’t believe so. I simply think that the world looks at these two arenas as opposites and can’t bear to think they might be able to co-exist – because heaven forbid a woman give up her rights a little bit!\nThat’s where the dignity of the Proverbs 31 woman comes in. The Proverbs 31 woman was by no means a weakling. She was up from dawn to dusk, managing a house, trading with the merchants, and providing for her family. She had to be strong, no question about it.\nHer true dignity came from knowing she had power and strength, but also knowing that she shouldn’t always exercise it. Her strength was under control. Her dignity came from humbly accepting that she didn’t have the right to always make herself heard, but choosing when and where to graciously voice her concerns or thoughts.\nShe knew she needed strength to do her job, and she did so, in an unassuming way that didn’t feel the need to be flaunting it in everyone’s faces. She loved her husband so much that she desired to make him well-thought of and respected. She understood that his job was to lead, hers was to support and submit, and when both jobs were done well, peace and harmony existed.\nIt’s funny because I don’t necessarily disagree with everything the “world” says about strong women. In my research, I came across an article titled, “12 Things to Expect When Dating a Strong Woman,” and I went into it, expecting to criticize everything it said. But then … the more I read it, the more I realized the woman sounded a lot like me!\nNot everything the article said was spot-on, but some points it made were not bad – it talked about how a strong woman lives her life with purpose, vision, and goals – how she’s incredibly loyal and trustworthy – and how she wants to build a beautiful life. I’d say those are definitely worthy things to strive after.\nWe just have to know how to pursue those things in a way that brings glory to God – and doesn’t try to usurp the role of the men in our lives.\nAs believers, we all have to submit to someone – and we always chafe at the thought, because we like to be independent people who make our own decisions. But God says, “No, that’s not the way I work.” Ultimately we all have to learn to submit to God’s authority, and as women, we have to learn to submit our longings for control so that we can carry out the beautiful partnership that God has in mind for men and women.\nTitus 2:4-5 says, “Then they [the older women] can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.”\nHow can we best exercise our strength as women? By developing our character, investing in others’ lives, devoting ourselves to the tasks God has given us to do, controlling our passions, and ultimately submitting to God’s will.\nIs it supposed to be easy? No, of course not. We have this pesky little thing called our sin nature that rebels at the idea of being told not to exercise our strength sometimes.\nBut the most dignified of people are not the ones loudly pushing their agendas all the time. They are the ones with a gleam in their eye that speaks of hidden reservoirs of strength – strength under control. They don’t need to flash it in everyone’s face, because their strength and confidence comes from the ultimate Strength – God Himself.\nEve made a grave mistake when she tried to take control into her own hands instead of trusting her Father and submitting her desires to Him. However we don’t have to follow in her footsteps. We can step away from the neon-lit path of womanly domination, and follow the path lit by glimmering lanterns – trod by women of dignity.\nFor there’s nothing more beautiful in a woman than a heart submitted to God, a role embraced with grace, and a strength demonstrated in quiet ways.\nShe will be a woman worth remembering."

"Around 7:20 on Thursday evening, Chicago Police Deputy Chief Kevin Ryan stood at the scene of a shooting and attempted carjacking in the 1400 block of North Inner Lake Shore Drive. He spoke to gathered TV reporters:\n\n“I’ve been working downtown since 2006. I take this very personally,” he said. “It is safe down here. If you come down here to do this, you’re gonna get caught.”\n\nLess than 20 minutes later and one block away, an Amazon delivery driver was carjacked at gunpoint. The offender remains at large.\n\nRyan was talking to the media after an armed man shot three people and carjacked four others in a crime spree that stretched from the West Side through the Gold Coast.\n\nBut minutes after he boasted that downtown criminals would be caught, another one got away just a block from where Ryan spoke.",

"Police today confirmed that a 26-year-old Amazon worker was confronted by a gunman and robbed of his delivery van at 7:35 p.m. Thursday in the 1400 block of North Astor. Cars with bullet holes and crime scene tape still decorated several Gold Coast streets as the second robbery went down.\n\nThe Amazon worker told police that he exited his van to make a delivery when a black male in his late 30’s approached and displayed a handgun. The victim, who was not injured, backed away as the offender jumped into the van and sped off. The vehicle was last seen heading westbound on Schiller, police said.\n\nPolice said the carjacked vehicle is a white minivan with New York license plate HJF3470. It has the word “Scooby’s” adhered to the back. The offender was wearing a navy hat and a black jacket, according to the victim.\n\nPolice today said the Astor Street carjacking took place at approximately 7:51 p.m., but dispatch records show the first call about the incident was dispatched 15 minutes earlier. No one is in custody and Area Central detectives are investigating, police said.\n\nCharges against the man who carried out the earlier crime spree were announced by federal prosecutors today."

null,
"\"It's too dark to see the landmarks.\"\n--\"The Night\", Morphine\n\nI've had this picture and this subject line saved as a draft since the day that Jonathan asked me to close The Church and come to work here at SBN. The quote is only a recent addition. It wasn't fun being an Edmonton fan then and it's a dark time to be an Edmonton fan right now, and as the title suggests, it's been a long ride to get to this point. Two years of missing lowered expectations combined with two years of ignoring need and chasing hard after the pretty girl left most Edmonton fans frustrated to the point of rage. The last five months of \"assessment\" and bewildered management have cast a death pall over what's left of the rational fanbase. Four long years of a slow downward spiral ignored by management has finally made the Oilers what they deserve to be - the worst franchise in the league.\n\nI'm not going to rehash what's gone wrong - everyone else has done it many times in posts, discussions, interviews and comments. But for the last five months we've heard Steve Tambellini make excuses for his inaction and his inability. He's blamed the goaltending situation. The goaltending situation has become a running joke around here because a bunch of amateurs that analyze hockey as a hobby knew it was going to happen, yet a man paid hundreds of thousands to do the same couldn't figure it out. He's blamed injuries. He claims that he's not making roster moves because he needs to see what the team is all about when it's fully healthy, as if the Oilers are the only team in the NHL that suffers through injuries. The Oilers were ill-prepared to handle injuries because of a lack of goaltending and middle six forward depth, something that Tambellini didn't feel he needed to address in the off-season. He's blamed decisions. Tambellini actually said that \"...decisions are hard...\", and yes, there is more to the quote, but that's the central meaning - decisions are hard for Steve Tambellini to make and he's struggling to do so. And finally, he's blamed the NHL trade market, as in \"Trades are hard to make.\"\n\nTambellini was upstaged today by a couple of his colleagues in Anaheim, Toronto and down the road a piece in Calgary. In a league where trades are supposed to be hard to make and the salary cap situation supposedly eliminates many trading partners, those three teams managed to mega-contracts, salary cap anchors and spare parts, and given that Dion Phaneuf played last night, at least Calgary and Toronto pulled it off in about ten hours. All of Tambellini's excuses, all of his hand-waving and all of his finger-pointing were today revealed when Burke, Murray and Sutter ripped away the curtain.\n\nNow Tambellini talks about figuring out who wants to be an Edmonton Oiler. As if the last 135 games weren't enough time to make that determination. Even though the Oilers seem to be accidentally doing the necessary thing and heading towards a tear-down or a rebuild, depending on your point-of-view, only the most naive actually believe that it will go well. Neither Steve Tambellini nor Kevin Lowe have proven any kind of competency in personnel management or team building. Lowe spent two years almost purposefully building unbalanced teams, \"I looked around and said \"Hey, we've got a lot of defensmen!\"\", and Tambellini has spent two years doing nothing, including ignoring the smallest, easiest-to-fill holes on the roster. There is no getting out of this until Daryl Katz realizes that he needs an honest assessment about the state of his team and reaches outside of his organization (to a competent man, not one that couldn't get a general manager's job in Vancouver for the last twenty years) to get one.\n\nThe running theme through all of Steve Tambellini's excuses is that his actions or inactions are behind every excuse. He's blaming himself and he doesn't even realize it. Every time he offers up another excuse as to what is going wrong, anyone with any sense at all understands that he's blaming himself.\n\nTurning this around isn't that difficult. This isn't an expansion team or a team that has been gutted and left bereft of talent. There are top line outscorers, talented defenseman and some solid role players at the bottom. Someone with a deft touch and the willingness to be creative in the trade market could get this done in a summer. But that's not going to happen. The Oilers' management team doesn't have the ability to run an NHL team, much less rebuild a franchise and that's why the darkness will continue. It's going to be dark for a long time in Edmonton, much too dark to see the landmarks."

The jury is given investigative powers and can issue subpoenas to compel people to testify.\n\nThe US Supreme Court's decision is a blow to Trump, who has been in a legal battle to protect his records from a grand jury for months."

"At that size, its simply too large for the financial establishment to ignore. Firms that cater to the worlds wealthiest families are increasingly putting some of their fortunes into crypto. Hedge funds are trading Bitcoin, which has big-name banks starting to offer them services around it. And in the latest milestone for the industry, an easy-to-trade fund tied to Bitcoin began trading on Tuesday, Oct.\n\nThe surge has come as more businesses, professional investors and even the government of El Salvador buy into Bitcoin, further broadening its base beyond its initial core of fanatics. The latest converts came into the world of crypto on Tuesday, when the first exchange-traded fund linked to Bitcoin found huge interest from investors. It was off to another strong start Wednesday, with volume topping It instead invests in the futures market tied to Bitcoin, but the industry sees the ETF bringing in a new class of investors.\n\nSomeone with an old-school brokerage account can buy the ETF, for example, without having to open a trading account for crypto. Investors are getting more interested in Bitcoin because they're always looking for assets whose prices moves independently of everything else in their portfolios. Cryptocurrencies are still very far from winning over everyone, though.\n\nCritics point to how they're still not widely used as forms of payment. They also criticize how much energy is used by the crypto system, which adds to climate-changing emissions. The biggest threat, meanwhile, is all the regulatory scrutiny shining on it. The KSAT 12 News Team provides a look at local, regional, statewide and national news events and the latest information on local traffic and weather issues.\n\nCopyright The Associated Press. All rights reserved. Bitcoin prices have surged in recent days, Wednesday, March 2, as investors once again appear to view the volatile cryptocurrency as safe haven for their money in the midst of rising geopolitical tensions.\n\nOther cryptocurrencies have also soared. Russians are exchanging their rapidly devalued rubles for bitcoin to try and mitigate the impact of the economic sanctions imposed by the international communities for their country's attack on Ukraine. The Ukrainian government has limited its citizens' ability to conduct electronic fund transactions, so Ukrainians are also turning to bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.\n\nThey're also buying stablecoins whose values are pegged to the U. Prior to the Russian invasion, bitcoin had been trading in a way similar to other riskier assets such as technology stocks. Investors have been expecting the Federal Reserve to soon begin raising interest rates in response to high inflation. They moved money out of more speculative investments such as bitcoin and bought stocks of banks other industries that tend to perform well when rates are rising.\n\nThat changed after the invasion when Western countries responded with a series of steps that limit the ability of Russia's government and the country's oligarchs to access the financial systems. Those moves have spillover effects for Russia's citizens, who have been lining up at banks and ATMs to withdraw money.\n\nhow to pay taxes on cryptocurrency",

"Cutline: Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, president of Qatar Petroleum, shakes hands with Chevron Phillips Chemical president Mark Lashier during a signing ceremony at the White House for an agreement to jointly pursue a new petrochemical plant for the U.S. Gulf Coast.\n\nIF only it comes in for a landing.\n\nIf Chevron Phillips Chemical should ultimately choose Orange County for its new multi-billion-dollar ethylene plant, it will be doing so with a new partner, Qatar Petroleum, and on a grander scale than earlier advertised.\n\nBut the company’s July 9 announcement of a 51-49 partnership on the project with the state-owned petroleum company of Qatar, hosted at the White House by President Donald Trump, continues to leave the location of such a project up in the air.\n\nThe good news for whatever community lands the plant is what was originally touted as a $5.6 billion investment for a two-unit plant in January is now being listed as an $8 billion plant with three units, according to details in a July 9 news release.\n\nThe City of Orange has disannexed 400-plus acres of the site that were in city limits so Orange County can create a Reinvestment Zone needed to offer an abatement.\n\nKelvin Knauf, Orange’s acting city manager, said in May CPC had told city officials “this is their preferred site,” but added, “there is no guarantee that Chevron Phillips Chemical will choose the Orange site for their new chemical plant.”\n\n“Orange is a finalist, however the location is only one of the alternatives on the Gulf Coast,” he said. “It is premature to say that Orange is definitely where we would put a petrochemical facility.”\n\nThe plant will include one of the world’s biggest ethane crackers, a unit that processes the natural gas liquid ethane into ethylene, which, in turn, is converted into polyethelene, then plastics.\n\nIt will have a capacity of turning out 2 million metric tons (or 2,000 kilotons) of ethylene per year, also written as 2,000 KTA.\n\nThere will also be two 1,000 KTA high-density polyethylene units, the release said.\n\nThe timeline for deciding where to locate the plant has been extended from mid-2020 to 2021, according to the release, but the expected startup date remains 2024.\n\n“I don’t know if this project having joint leadership will slow things down or not, but having QP involved might be a good thing,” said Johnny Trahan, Orange County Judge Pro-Tem, “because now they’ve got more money.”\n\nJessica Hill, executive director of the Orange County Economic Development Corporation, which has been involved in recruiting Chevron Phillips Chemical to build here for at least a decade, said all she knew about a change in the decision timeline was what was made public a week ago.\n\n“The county is proceeding as necessary at the request of CP Chem,” she said.\n\nJohn Gothia, who was appointed Orange County’s fourth County Judge in 16 months Tuesday, said he didn’t expect any request for an abatement to come to the county until all environmental permits were secured.\n\n“I’m sure whenever that stuff is done, they’ll come to us,” he said.\n\n“It’s kind of frustrating, though, because we’re ready to see it happen. For us in Orange County, it can’t happen soon enough.\n\nMarissa Luck, business and energy reporter at the Houston Chronicle, reported Chevron Phillips had previously confirmed it was considering Orange and Sweeny as sites for possible expansion among other unspecified sites in Texas and Louisiana.\n\nOrange has been home to a CPC plant since 1955 and the new property abuts the existing Chemical Row plant.\n\nLuck also mentioned a plus for Orange was its proximity to the Mont Belvieu chemicals and natural gas liquids hub.\n\nChevron Phillips Chemical has maintained from the start that its decision will be financially based.\n\n“The impact of property taxes on the economic return is a major determining factor in the site selection process,” the company said in January in the first of three applications filed by WOCCISD for a limit of appraised value under Texas Tax Code Chapter 313.\n\n“Without a limitation [on property taxes] … siting the project in Orange County is not competitive with comparable investments.”"

"The rubric that ‘nothing beats timing’ not only applies to those who are caught by surprise. It goes for many waiting patiently for the right moment as well. Jamaica-born and raised Chef Carlington Morrissey seized the opportunity of a lifetime in the Netherlands, stepping into the culinary spotlight as the proud owner of Pimento Tapas Bar.\n\n“Pimento Tapas Bar is fused in both taste and name. Pimento stands as an iconic Jamaican spice known and used often, and tapas are bite-sized meals originally from Europe,” he told Food.\n\nLiving in Europe for nine years, Morrissey craved food that provided him with comfort and flavour. Local staples like jerk chicken and rice and peas, among others, felt like home for the chef.\n\nThis delicious desire ignited a brilliant idea: why not combine his love for Jamaican dishes with Mediterranean cuisine? He went even further by taking all the experience he garnered while working in other food establishments boasting Mediterranean influences and ran with his fresh concept to open his restaurant.\n\n“I’ve been noticing a change over time in the way people eat and dine out, and I always thought that they were missing out on our amazing Jamaican food. They needed something full of flavour, healthy, and that always feels homey. And just like every country, they have different norms and morals, and it is something you have to get used to,” he confessed.\n\nIt comes as no surprise that Morrissey would branch out into food. As a little boy, the good chef dreamed of introducing Jamaican food to the world. He started cooking daily by the age of 13, and while he didn’t see the culinary arts in the cards for himself, fate intervened, and one day, it just clicked.\n\n“I’ve always cooked, but I didn’t know then that it would have been a career for me. My brother and father taught me to introduce flavour to my food, experiment with different ingredients, and make delicious food with simple ingredients,” he revealed.\n\nBy age 17, he visited his father, who lived in Jakarta, Indonesia, which changed his life forever. “At that moment in my life, I was looking for something new, and my father lived in Jakarta, Indonesia, so I went to stay with him for new scenery. When I decided I wanted to be a chef, I started looking around at schools and then realised that Singapore was an Asian country which spoke English and also had a culinary arts programme,” he shared.\n\nAfter attaining his diploma for culinary arts in Singapore, Morrissey’s appetite for more grew, as did his love for food. He worked on different cuisines in and around the continent: Indian, Chinese/Malay, Mediterranean, and French. Now, he’s putting it all into practice.\n\nDespite the COVID climate, he is pushing through with his business, mixing the key ingredients of talent, dedication, sheer determination, and positivity to succeed. “There is never a ‘right time’ to open a restaurant, and COVID-19 probably will not make it any easier, but I have always been able to find positives where people see negatives and try to make something of it. So should everyone else,” he added."

"Vatican City (AP) — Pope Francis has created a new Vatican tribunal section to hear cases of bishops accused of failing to protect children from sexually abusive priests, the biggest step the Holy See has taken yet to hold bishops accountable.\n\nFor years, the Vatican has been criticised by victims, advocacy groups and others for having failed to ever punish or forcibly remove a bishop who covered up for clergy who raped or molested children. In April, Francis accepted the resignation of a US bishop who had been convicted of failing to report a suspected child abuser, but that wasn’t a forced removal.\n\nThe Vatican said Wednesday that Francis had approved proposals made by his sexual abuse advisory board. They create a mechanism by which the Vatican can receive and examine complaints of abuse of office by bishops and adjudicate them.\n\nA special new judicial section will be created inside the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith “to judge bishops with regard to crimes of the abuse of office when connected to the abuse of minors”, a Vatican statement said.\n\nThe Congregation currently reviews all cases of priests who abuse minors.\n\nThe Vatican said Cardinal Sean O’Malley, the head of Francis’ sex abuse advisory commission, presented the proposals to Francis’ cardinal advisers, who have been meeting this week. The panel approved the measures, as did Francis, who authorised funding for full-time personnel to staff the new office, the Vatican said.\n\nThe Vatican spokesman, the Rev Federico Lombardi, said this means there is now a specific process by which the Vatican can deal with bishops who are negligent in handling cases of abuse in their territories.\n\nCanon law already does provide sanctions for bishops who are negligent in their duties, but the Vatican was never known to have meted out punishment for a bishop who covered up for an abuser.\n\nNow, with these proposals, “the process is defined”, Lombardi said."

"The Liberation 75 ceremony and the 2020 Jersey Boat Show have been cancelled following government advice that all large events be postponed or cancelled to restrict the spread of coronavirus.\n\nDr. Ivan Muscat has advised that public gatherings be restricted for the next 10 weeks if they last for more than two days and involve 150 people or more in close contact.\n\nIslanders are also asked to be careful when attending smaller events, particularly close deemed at being at a higher risk of contracting the illness. Over 65s are still advised to socially distance, whenever possible, outside their homes.\n\n\"I understand that the ramifications of this advice will lead to great disappointment for many people, but the medical evidence is that large events and mass gatherings can significantly contribute to the spread of COVID-19, as well as adding to the pressure on our health and public services.\n\n\"Our objective is to minimise the risk to the most vulnerable in our community, and for that reason we will keep the threshold for events under review.\n\n\"Officers are already in contact with the organisers of major events but, in addition to recommending that large events are cancelled, we are urging individuals to think about the impact of attending events that fall below the threshold, including regular sporting and social events.\n\n\"It is down to us all as individuals to assess whether attending an event will increase the risk of the disease being spread, particularly to friends and family who are more vulnerable than us. We want everyone to consider the latest health advice when deciding whether to attend.\" - Senator John Le Fondre, Chief Minister.\n\nAll event organisers are being asked to:\n\n* Strongly discourage people who are sick with respiratory symptoms from attending\n\n* Find ways of making sure people aren't in close contact\n\n* Make sure adequate supplies of hygiene materials are available.\n\nThis advice means the Liberation 75 ceremony in Liberation Square has been cancelled, along with the scheduled visit of the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.\n\nOther events have also been trimmed, which are:",

"The 2020 Jersey Boat Show has also been pulled.\n\n“Ports of Jersey, together with title sponsor Barclays, regrets to announce that the 2020 Barclays Jersey Boat Show has been cancelled. The decision has been made as a result of the current situation surrounding COVID-19, the advice of Jersey’s Government and the\nprioritisation we give to the safety and well-being of the local community and all those taking part in the Boat Show.\n\nThe Show was due to take place between 02 – 04 May 2020. Whilst we are obviously disappointed in having to take this action, we believe it is the right decision to protect the Island community and that an early decision provides clarity for all concerned.\n\nWe will be contacting directly those partners, exhibitors and suppliers involved.” - Ports of Jersey\n\nMeanwhile half of the Jersey population could get coronavirus and 4% may need hospital treatment over a 10 week period, according to the latest modelling presented by the Deputy Medical Officer of Health.\n\nThat was described as the worst-case scenario by Dr. Ivan Muscat, in which 500 people could die. However the doctor says without action Jersey healthcare wouldn't be able to cope, but measures are being put in place to avoid such a scenario and 'flatten the curve'.\n\nThat's 15 days after the government estimated the worst-case scenario here to be 12-50 deaths.\n\nHe says social distancing is by far the best way of bringing down the peak, or flattening the curve, to a more manageable level. Mass gathering should be reduced and home working is encouraged.\n\nSchools will also be closed at the end of this week - with a further decision made during the Easter holidays on whether a longer-term ban is appropriate.\n\n\"If you add the closure of schools and self-isolation to social distancing, the curve will be delayed and flattened further. Using a combination of measures can be the only way forward, no single measure can be relied upon to deliver all the goods.\" - Dr. Ivan Muscat.\n\nThere are 5 cases of Covid-19 in Jersey - all had returned from affected countries, but Dr. Muscat says while no person to person transmission is known about so far it is 'likely to already be happening.'\n\nIt's hoped that testing in Jersey will be possible by the end of this month, so far Jersey health workers have had to use the research-type of equipment and rely on commercial companies to deliver the tests.\n\nSelf-isolation for people without symptoms on return from the UK is being considered, but Dr. Muscat says that may not happen 'in the immediate future'.",

"Guernsey announced yesterday that from tomorrow (19 March) anyone arriving in Guernsey will have to self-isolate for 14 days - and that emergency powers have been given to their Medical Officer to enforce those restrictions if necessary.\n\nDr. Muscat says those powers 'are being looked at' in Jersey with Law Officers on how to better encourage people to abide by the guidelines.\n\n\"It would be much better if we can do this through appealing to the good nature of people and by and large more than 95% of the population will be perfectly happy to help society as a whole by implementing the measures that are being suggested.\"\n\nHealth Minister Deputy Richard Renouf echoed that message - adding that he would rather not have to enforce any measures.\n\n\"It's carefully judging the situation. There are legal powers if necessary and there may be regulations coming forward that enhance those, but I believe and the government believes that the best way of tackling this is to engage the whole community, for the whole community to understand how we want to flatten the curve and the measures that are needed.\n\n\"If we can all get behind that effort, rather than having to rely on legal powers and prosecutions - which I don't think would achieve exactly what we want.\""

"The USC women’s track team captured the National Track and Field championship last Sunday in Eugene, Oregon. Some of the Trojans’ Big Winners included Kendall Ellis, who was in fifth place going into the 4x400m anchor leg after a mangled handoff. Ellis, the fourth-fastest 400m runner in the world this year, made up a staggering deficit on Purdue’s Jahneya Mitchell in the last 100 meters to win by .07. The Big Ladies on Campus this week are the USC National Track and field team picked at Eugene, Oregon, Saturday. Included in the group Kendall Elli (relay anchor), USC won the relay in 3 minute 27.06 seconds. USC got a win from Anglerne Annelus in the 200 (20.76 seconds) and second from Twanisha Terry (100 and 400) that gave USC one more point than Georgia and Stanford which didn’t have relays. USC locked up the title with one more point than the pair had with 53 points. And the beat continues!",

"Chris Harris, the highly respected automotive journalist from EVO magazine, shares with us his perspectives on the all-new 2012 BMW M5.\n\nAttending the same event as BMWBLOG, Harris had the opportunity to drive the F10 M5 on race track and on “normal roads”. Known as a fair and straight-to-the-point journalist, Harris delivers a review in his usual note. But has the new M5 managed to impress him?",

"There is no other powertrain like this in a series production car. Some produce similar results in terms of outright performance, but not in the same manner. It’s perhaps the first car to match the benefits of grossly-turbocharged-low-RPM-performance with high engine speeds. This gives the effect of having a gigantic effective, useable powerband of over 5000rpm because it will pull hard enough in seventh gear – from just 2000rpm – for the driver to assume he was in fourth. And yet there is still something to be gained from taking it all the way to the 7200rpm redline.\n\nThe relationship with the gearbox is about as harmonious as anyone could have hoped. BMW has learned a lot about double-clutch systems and this is a masterpiece of calibration, one capable of spanning the disparate disciplines of part-throttle chugger and vein-popping, manual-shifting beserker.\n\nI tried to fool it and make it misbehave, but it wouldn’t. On flat upshifts, the throttle cut fires a great ‘bang’ from the four exhausts. Hit the rev limiter, then back away from the throttle and it sounds like a rally car with anti-lag switched-on."

"The journey to Notre Dame for Cretin-Derham Hall wide receiver James Onwualu began when he was 13 years old.\n\nHe attended a summer football camp when he reached high and hauled in a pass from former Irish quarterback Brady Quinn. Among those impressed by the moment was camp director Ted Johnson.\n\nOnwualu soon committed to Johnson’s high-intensity training program, a regimen used by many professional and college athletes. Six days a week for two-plus hours, the pair engaged in individual-specific workouts geared toward making the teenager a top-line football recruit.\n\nThe hard work and dedication paid off.\n\nEarlier this month, Onwualu signed a full scholarship with the Irish, moved to South Bend and started taking classes.\n\n“I don’t like to use the word ‘special,’” Johnson said, “but if I had to put my finger on what makes him special, it’s that he has always been committed to the process. It’s rare to be that young and want to be great.”\n\nVeteran Cretin-Derham Hall coach Mike Scanlan said: “I’ve rarely seen somebody as focused as James. He did not deviate from point A to point B. I’ve coached many focused and talented guys, but I don’t know if any were as focused as him. I don’t even know if he knows how good he is.”\n\n“It’s weird,” Onwualu said on his last night in Minnesota, as he recalled catching the pass from Quinn.Three photos documenting it hung on a wall of his bedroom in St. Paul, surrounded by Notre Dame paraphernalia. “I was 13. I had no idea where I would be. Now it’s beginning to feel real.”\n\nChristmas for Onwualu came on the morning of Dec. 5, when he awoke to something he had been wanting and working toward for months.\n\n“Got that 4th star this morning!” his Twitter account read, referring to Rivals’ national rating system of high school recruits. “I’ve made major improvements, but still have to grind every day.”\n\nUntil then, he ranked as Minnesota’s second-best recruit behind Keelon Brookins (Tartan), who also is rated four stars out of five. Though Cretin-Derham Hall’s season ended in the last week of October and he had committed to Notre Dame nearly nine months earlier, Onwualu continued to strive to be great.\n\nHis friends, coaches and trainer questioned why he cared so much about the status. To him, it was less about the stars and more about another goal he had to prove he could achieve.\n\n“He wants to be the best player, ever. And he has the mindset he can be,” said Wayzata running back Mitch Underhill, who worked out with Onwualu in Johnson’s program. “He has to prove it to himself.”\n\nCountless hours on the field and in the gym and watching film gave Onwualu the edge throughout high school. Despite breaking his jaw the summer before his senior year, he finished the season leading the Suburban East Conference in scoring with 116 points. He collected nearly 1,000 receiving and passing yards and had 18 touchdowns.\n\nYet Onwualu felt he had underachieved. Scanlan takes responsibility for this. The coach said he should have gotten the versatile player (wide receiver, running back, defensive back, safety) more touches during the Raiders’ 6-3 season. Onwualu made it clear he could do more by producing in numerous roles on offense, defense and special teams, but he never complained to the coach. He simply performed when given the chance.\n\n“He never said a word. He’s one of the best captains I’ve had in a long time. A really good leader by example,” Scanlan said.\n\nFollowing Floyd’s path Notre Dame’s new prize doesn’t hesitate to include his name among Minnesota’s elite wide receivers. Onwualu seized the opportunity to work out with and get to know Arizona Cardinals receivers Larry Fitzgerald Jr., who attended Holy Angels, and Floyd. The pair often train with Johnson, where Onwualu observes and learns.\n\nFloyd and Onwualu’s similarities have developed a deep respect for one another. Both were standout receivers at the private Catholic school in St. Paul and both decided to continue their careers at Notre Dame. Floyd left behind a long list of accomplishments for Onwualu to consider.\n\nThough he said he didn’t want to get stuck in Floyd’s shadow in South Bend, Onwualu plans to break every record (six total) his mentor set in college. That means he will need to earn a starting job a freshman.\n\n“Working with him you see a talent that you don’t see very often. He has the mentality to keep going and not stop,” Floyd said. “I had in my head I wanted to go there and be a special player, and I think he has that same idea in his head. You always have to be competitive to get somebody better. If that’s his goals in his head to surpass my stats at Notre Dame, more power to him.”\n\nOnwualu watched from the doorstep of his family’s home on Cretin Avenue as a car full of boxes pulled away and departed for Indiana on Jan. 11. That night before he left town, he spent time with close friends and his mother, Ann Perry. He dominated the conversation as he toyed with one of the many footballs laying around his house.\n\nEventually he made his way to a goodbye party.\n\nTwo days later, he sat in a lecture hall with college students. A fellow football player saved him from eating his first college lunch alone. But this is what Onwualu wanted. As he watched Notre Dame fall hard to Alabama in the BCS Championship Game, his sense of urgency to get to work increased\n\n. He took coach Brian Kelly’s postgame comments, of the Irish still being a step away from greatness, as a call for Onwualu to do more.\n\n“We know there are more steps to be taken to get this done. It’s an awakening for us,” Onwualu said. “I truly believe I’m one of the best in the country and can earn a spot.”\n\nVIDEO: On his way to Notre Dame\n\nJames Onwualu has left Cretin-Derham Hall to begin his college career, both in the classroom and on the field, at Notre Dame. He talks about the challenge of winning a prime spot with the Fighting Irish.\n\nBy the numbers: James Onwualu"

"ANGLOGOLD Ashanti yesterday shot up 3.5 percent in intra-day trade after the miner named Alberto Calderon as its new chief executive.\n\nCalderon is a seasoned mining executive who served as chief executive at Australian-based commercial explosives maker Orica from 2015 until he stepped down in February this year.\n\nHe was previously a senior executive at BHP, the global mining and metals giant, and was also chief executive of Colombia's Cerrejón Coal Company.\n\nAngloGold said Calderon would assume the position in September.\n\n“We are confident that, in Alberto, we have the right person to lead this company forward and realise its outstanding potential, drawing on his huge leadership experience in the resources sector across a variety of geographies,” said Ramos.\n\nAngloGold appointed Christine Ramon, its chief financial officer, as interim chief executive last September while it embarked on a recruitment process after Kelvin Dushnisky called it quits to be closer to his family in the context of the new Covid-19 operating environment.\n\nUnder Dushnisky's leadership, AngloGold agreed to sell its South African assets and ramped-up the Obuasi Redevelopment Project in Ghana.\n\nThe group said Ramon would remain in her interim position until Calderon took over before returning to her role."

"If the MPTCC has shown one thing, it's that sometimes lax rules can make for some very fast and competitive cars. However, it can also make it a challenge between unmatched classes, too. Because the MPTCC is sanctioned by NASA, they run in groups with sometimes much slower cars. At Buttonwillow, these cars were the class of the field and the fastest class in NASAs' run group. This led to a very hairy start when the Spec Miata class did not start as soon as they needed. Fortunately, Auto Club Speedway is a large enough track that the separation between classes was large and we did not have a repeat of Buttonwillow.",

"An artist fascinated with the morbid hanged herself from the fire escape of her Brooklyn apartment building Sunday — horrifying residents who were left to walk past her dangling body for more than an hour.\n\nThe body of Jennifer Lubanko, 21, was discovered hanging outside her fourth-floor apartment at Utica Avenue and Prospect Place in Crown Heights around 8:20 a.m., law enforcement sources said.\n\nShe had tied a cord on the slotted walkway and then leaped off, snapping her neck and leaving her corpse to hang in front of the third-floor window, witnesses said.\n\n“It was like a horror movie,’’ said Horace Benoit, 38, a neighbor who lives in the building. “Poor girl. Her body was out there so long, just hanging.”\n\nLubanko’s body remained in the alleyway between two buildings for more than an hour before police officers finally covered it with a white sheet. It remained behind the sheet for at least 40 more minutes, witnesses said.\n\nPolice said they didn’t want to move the body until homicide was ruled out.\n\n“This is something you don’t want to wake up to on a Sunday morning,” said local resident Violet Acuna, 42. “I thought [her body] was fake, like a Halloween prank, and then I could see it was a [woman] hanging. I just screamed.”\n\nPolice sources said they did not find a suicide note inside Lubanko’s apartment, which she shared with another woman in her 20s, and said it is unclear why she killed herself.\n\nBut the woman’s artwork was dark and appeared troubled.\n\nLubanko regularly posted disturbing videos and drawings on a personal site. She also posted her work on ScaryPretty.org, which describes itself as “glitteringly morbid,” according to a parent of one of her friends.\n\nOne of her pieces is titled “The Toilet Book,” a series of hand-drawn images and text that likens humanity to a bleak cesspool. “Hi, I am a human and I live in this toilet bowl of s–t-made things and evil people and all we do is swim in circles all day,” one of the pages reads.\n\nA distraught man who identified himself as the woman’s father showed up with a suitcase to clear out his daughter’s belongings, but declined to answer questions.\n\n“She was very social. Her parents were always around visiting,” said neighbor Stella Wiley, 66, who added that Lubanko looked to be in good spirits as she walked her pet dachshund about 90 minutes before taking her life.\n\nWoman jumps to her death from George Washington Bridge"

"What a difference a year makes. At the end of 2013, the industry was still debating whether Hadoop and related big data technologies were going to become mainstream or were just niche technologies for Internet companies.\n\nA year later, the answer is clear — Hadoop is without question the foundation of the new data stack, the first of the Hadoop distributions (Hortonworks) is now a public company, with others sure to follow. This is putting a spotlight on the next layer up the stack — big data analytics — and the use cases that will be unlocked and transformed by collecting and connecting vast quantities of raw data and empowering business analysts with new capabilities. In 2015, we’ll see the impact of big data across almost every industry sector, and there will be a multitude of proof points that go beyond vague claims often seen today.\n\nHere are five trends to watch for over the next 12 months:\n\nBig data analytics will emerge as a powerful complement to traditional security software.\n\nMassive breaches at Target and Home Depot in 2014 highlighted the degree to which the dizzying array and vast quantities of data that corporations collect has quickly outgrown the capabilities of traditional security software. The increased complexity and varieties and volumes of data enterprises currently manage make it nearly impossible to analyze everything, especially given the fact that most security platforms don’t talk to each other, and the cost of processing huge volumes and varieties of data is both cost and time-prohibitive.\n\nBut big data analytics can be used to identify suspicious behaviors and patterns that might indicate a network — even one protected by disparate security solutions that don’t talk to each other — is under attack. Over the past six months, CISOs have started to look at big data analytics as an important new tool that will enable their security infrastructure to identify and remediate “low and slow” advanced-persistent-threat attacks that might otherwise be undetectable. Look for this trend to accelerate and expand to other sectors in 2015.\n\n2. Faking it with big data will no longer cut it\n\nWe’re in a historic technology replacement cycle that has only just begun to affect the enterprise sector. Many experienced vendors are trying to sell rebranded technologies that cannot handle the volume or variety of data that new platforms and technologies can. While it’s taken a few years for big data analytics to emerge as a fundamentally distinct solution from traditional business intelligence and data warehouse technologies that came before it, the next year will see less buyer confusion about what characterizes next-generation analytics. Buyers will come to understand what is possible with a modern stack and what to look for when choosing a solution.\n\n3. The Internet of things comes around to big data\n\nThe hundreds of device makers building the Internet of things will get serious about big data — or get left out in the cold if they don’t.\n\nData generated by the household devices, wearables and industrial devices that comprise today’s Internet of things is growing exponentially, but almost all of it sits in silos created by different device makers. The real value is in connecting the dots across these silos to understand patterns of behavior, interaction and failure modes. This is critical to understanding how devices and services are operating, understanding the flow of communication that could constitute security threats, and weaving together dependencies and interdependent failure modes. Using Hadoop as a data lake to store Internet of things data is a required first step, and a range of analytical approaches follow.\n\nFor example, Opower uses big data analytics to help customers at more than 100 utility companies better understand their usage patterns and suggests how they could save money by consuming less power.\n\nIn 2015, look for the discussion to shift to how the device makers are turning to data analytics to help the nascent Internet of things market reach its full potential.\n\nAccording to a recent Gartner report, 85 percent of Fortune 500 companies are ill prepared to exploit big data. Companies of all stripes and sizes will increasingly adopt a data centric approach as they set strategy, encourage collaboration among colleagues, and interact with customers.\n\nA few years ago, big data tools were available only to corporate giants that could invest in proprietary and largely inflexible infrastructure. The advent of the Hadoop data lake is democratizing — and quickly accelerating — the game, forcing companies of all sizes to react if they want to remain competitive. In 2015, big data’s ability to connect dots in ways never before possible will prompt companies to rethink the way their employees collaborate and use data to identify and quickly adapt to opportunities and challenges.\n\nFor example, Riot Games, the 1,500-person gaming company most famous for League of Legends, has a task force of employees who are responsible for making their company more data-driven. They use big data to analyze behavioral data of 30 million users to find bugs in the software and to make data-driven decisions on which new features to introduce into the gaming environment.\n\nAfter more than six years of development, testing and early-stage roll outs, the big data landscape is ripe for a shake out.\n\nCountless startups have either taken the wrong architectural road or are focused on niche products that cannot meet their customers’ overall needs. In 2015, look for some of these small players to fail, or become acquisition targets as larger vendors look to cobble together end-to-end solutions.\n\nWith big data indicators all pointing north, we’ll see enterprises making bigger strategic bets in 2015 as they look to vendors that offer end-to-end solutions built to handle massive amounts of disparate data without requiring data scientists. Look for both Cloudera and MapR to go public in 2015, and plenty of discussion about those companies (both public and private) that can thrive in this new world of big data — and those that are on a fast decline. It’s shakeout time.\n\nBen Werther launched Platfora to transform the way businesses use big data analytics. Before founding Platfora, Ben was vice president of products for DataStax and head of product at Greenplum."

"Home Armenia Artsakh David Babayan: No Return to the Borders of 1988\n\nDavid Babayan: No Return to the Borders of 1988\n\n“The most important is that Russia and other Minsk Group countries exclude the use of force and stress there is no alternative to a peaceful settlement,” David Babayan told Public Radio of Armenia.\n\nBesides, David Babayn said, “we should remember that all issues will be settled only after the status of Nagorno Karabakh is determined.”\n\n“Lavrov made it clear that the Karabakh issue is not an internal affair of Azerbaijan and its settlement does not depend on Baku’s will.”\n\nAs for the Russian Foreign Minister’s regret for the lack of consensus on the implementation of an investigation mechanism, Babayan said “Azerbaijan foil s any step in that direction, despite the agreements reached in Vienna and St. Petersburg.”\n\nSpeaking about Lavrov’s reference to the four resolutions adopted by the UN Security Council and the demand to “liberate the occupied territories,” the Spokesman said: “We have not occupied any territories. We have been forced to liberate some territories to form a buffer zone.”\n\n“There cannot be a return to the borders of 1988 and 1991, because we’ll not be able to ensure our security having Azerbaijan as a neighbor,” David Babayan said.",

"Telematics is hardly a niche concept for modern commercial vehicle operators, and it’s common enough to find truck fleets decked out with little black boxes. The level of connectivity swirling around trucks, drivers and the businesses operating them is on the increase, though, and telematics, along with other connected systems, is evolving.\n\nOne of the chief findings of the report was that telematics systems are on the cusp of becoming standard, factory-fitted components in new trucks, rather than aftermarket additions. That’s expected to be the case in little more than five years, according to Gokulnath Raghavan, senior mobility analyst at\nFrost & Sullivan, who contributed to the report.\n\n“We also think there are going to be a lot of partnerships and associated service offerings between the OEMs and telematics service providers. In future, we perceive that the telematics providers will mostly be operating in tandem with the OEMs,” says Raghavan.\n\nHe adds that the physical components powering telematics systems aren’t likely to change a great deal, but the software and, crucially, digital security, are expected to come on in leaps and bounds – particularly as vehicles start to do more things for themselves.\n\n“What we predict is that the importance of and the focus on hardware will decrease, and there won’t be many more design tweaks to physical telematics components. There will be much more focus on the software and on the cyber security side.\n\n“This is because, with more autonomous features, there’s more work to do on the security aspects – and, as more digital components are included on the same system, one has to be very careful not to affect the entire digital architecture of the vehicle, so security will become the prime aspect,” explains Raghavan.\n\nThat increase in cyber security is tipped to go hand-in-hand with a rise in autonomous technology. According to Raghavan, level-three autonomous trucks should be up and running by 2025. That means the vehicle will still require a driver to intervene in sticky situations, but it will be able to drive independently, and even handle what are described as “safety-critical functions”.\n\n“We have things like platooning right now, but trucks will become autonomous on different levels – and it’s just a question of how autonomous,” says Raghavan. “We think that level-three autonomous driving – practicality the beginning of fully operational autonomous trucking – will be possible in 2025, and there have already been tests for it, but whether or not it will be possible will depend on the country and the level of regulation.”",

"The report also found that truck manufacturers and telematics specialists could branch out into the digital heavy-vehicle brokering market. Affectionately dubbed Uber for trucks, the practice, which is becoming increasingly popular in the United States, involves truck operators and/or drivers arranging journeys via an app to maximise efficiency for return journeys, in particular.\n\nRaghavan says: “Let’s say you want to ship a bicycle from California to New York, you put the request into the app, and someone might say ‘I’m going there in a car and I have a space, so I’ll transport it for you’.\n\n“That’s how it works in the domestic market, and similarly, in the trucking industry, if you have tonnes of goods that need to be transported, there are web and mobile-based platforms that allow you to arrange it.\n\n“Traditionally, there used to be a middle man (a broker) who had notes of different truck drivers or fleet operators in different regions, and he would tell you: ‘I have a fleet operator who is going from point A to point B – this person can transport it for ‘x’ commission.’\n\n“Now it has shifted from traditional to digital brokering. There is a website or an app and you post a message which says: ‘I’m going from here to there, I have this much space and I can transport these types of goods.’\n\n“This is particularly relevant for return journeys. If a vehicle travels from A to B and it comes back empty, it’s a huge loss for a truck or fleet operator, so it can be much more efficient if the driver says: ‘I’m going back to point A, I have an empty trailer, contact me if you want goods transported on that route.’\n\n“All this would be operated through a website, but it’s now switching to the application base; so you have an app on your mobile device and the user can track your route, see where the truck is, how far it is from the destination, and so on.”\n\nFrost & Sullivan’s research found that this form of digital brokering was considered to be a threat to what it described as “the existing telematics service business case” and, as a result, vehicle manufacturers and telematics companies could begin offering their own versions of Uber for trucks.\n\n“There are fears that, with the rise of digital freight brokering, these app developers are also offering basic tracking and tracing,” adds Raghavan. “So how are the telematics companies going to differentiate themselves? In future, the telematics provider (either OEMs or telematics specialists) may offer this as an additional, value-added service.”\n\nThe practice is so popular that some suppliers are already gunning for business by integrating digital freight brokering into their offerings.\n\nRaghavan says: “Some technology companies now offer OEMs a complete package for connected truck services, which would include digital freight brokering, advanced telematics and other features. The idea is that the whole truck will become completely connected, so it’s not just a box sending certain bits of information back.”\n\nHe concludes: “An operator would have information about every feature of their truck including the engine, the transmission – everything, and that information could be used to optimise the fleet and improve its transparency and efficiency.”",

"“She was the very, very first person to see the pages because I wrote most of the book at her house. [in Mastic, Long Island]Hillary Clinton’s longtime assistant Abedin told WWD at a book launch party with fashion designer Tanya Taylor in SoHo. “I was literally printing the pages and she was seeing them in a very, very raw form. She gave me the big picture, but very clear and concise comments. I thought it really helped the quality of the book – suggestions on what was missing, how to end it. And Hillary [Clinton] actually inspired my prologue. She said you shouldn’t go into this process being defensive. Just write down why you are telling your story.\n\nIt was also Wintour who first suggested that Abedin write a book in the weeks following the 2016 presidential election, an idea supported by Clinton. But it was not until 2018 that Abedin decided to take the plunge.\n\n“About a year later, I went to lunch with a businessman giving me some advice and I said, ‘Look, a few people suggested that I write my book,’ and he said, ‘ Why would you do that? I said, ‘You know, it’s a pretty amazing story – 25 years of public service, served in the Clinton administration, in the Obama administration,’ â€Abedin said. “He said ‘You will never be able to answer all questions about Anthony satisfactorily. [Weiner, Abedin’s ex-husband] and Hillary in this book, and besides, nobody wants to read about this scandal anymore. ‘ I walked out of that lunch at the Lambs Club in 2018 and said I was writing this book.\n\nThe book details his childhood in the United States and Saudi Arabia; his 25 years in the public service, including years working with Clinton; motherhood and her marriage to Weiner, the former Democratic congressman and former New York mayoral candidate who spent 18 months in federal prison for sending sexually explicit texts to a teenager.\n\nAs for the sequel, Abedin borrowed an idea from television producer and screenwriter Shonda Rhimes that “this is my year to say ‘yes'”, although a candidacy is highly unlikely. “I don’t see myself running for election. I was on the sidelines. I did it at the highest level. I have worked for two incredible administrations. I feel like I finally have a balance in life.\n\nAfter 10 years, US publication goes back by claiming Netanyahu has a genius IQ"

"Now playing in limited release is Born to Be Blue, Robert Budreau’s terrific film about “cool jazz” legend Chet Baker. Thankfully eschewing the hokey, decades-spanning “rise/fall/rise” formula that became de rigueur after the success of Ray and Walk the Line, its modest scope focuses instead on a single chapter in Baker’s life: the trumpeter’s successful comeback in the late 1960s after being sidelined by a heroin addiction that resulted in jail-time and the loss of his front teeth. In the lead role, Ethan Hawke nails both the quiet passion and the insecurity of Baker (a “white boy from the West Coast” forever seeking the approbation of Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis); watch Hawke’s eyes during a front-porch confrontation between Baker and his father (Stephen McHattie) and you’ll see an entire lifetime of failure to meet parental expectations. Also superb: Hawke’s raspy-sweet voice as he croons “My Funny Valentine” and “I’ve Never Been in Love Before” live on camera.\n\nIn spite of being nominated for two Oscars for acting (and another two for screenwriting) and in spite of his eight-films-and-counting collaboration with Richard Linklater (one of the most significant actor/director pairings in contemporary movies), Hawke remains strangely underestimated as a performer. Is his acting too “effortless” in an era that tends to reward effort-ful yelling and crying? Whatever the case, this will hopefully change with the release of Born to Be Blue, a sharp biopic that deftly sidesteps genre clichés while hitting almost all the right notes as an emotionally gratifying character study (I personally could have done without the Miles Davis “slow clap” at the end). In addition to Hawke, Canadian director Budreau (That Beautiful Somewhere) coaxes fine performances from a cast that includes Carmen Ejogo as Baker’s love interest (a composite of several real-life women) and Callum Keith Rennie as Baker’s long-suffering manager.\n\nBorn to Be Blue is playing exclusively at the Landmark’s Century Centre Theatre in Chicago as well as via on-demand platforms.\n\nOn Thursday, April 7 at 7pm, my Flickering Empire co-author Adam Selzer and I will give a talk about our book at the Glen Ellyn Historical Society. We will be screening clips from films made in Chicago 100+ years ago and the event includes wine, cheese and cookies. Tickets cost $10 ($8 GEHS members) and may be purchased in advance in Glen Ellyn at Stacy’s Corners Store at the History Center, 800 N. Main St. Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. For more information, call 630-469-1867 or visit the GEHS website.\n\nFilmmaker, author and Film Studies instructor.

"Celebrating its 10th anniversary under the appealing banner \"Pay Peanuts, Get Monkeys!\", the Auckland-based label Monkey Records is offering more than a dozen albums, a few EPs and some of its compilations at enticingly low prices (CDs are $15, EPs $10, the CD/DVD collection Monkey Magic Vol II at $20)\n\nElsewhere has a soft spot in its heart for Monkey which has been diligently recording everything from spaced-out ambient music and electronica (Sleepytime, Onelung) to indie.rock (Rene-Louise Carafice) and neo-folk.\n\nThis is the label which has brought you the charming pop of Tim Guy, the gypsy rock of the Benka Boradovosky Bordello Band and the intimate folk pop of Bond Street Bridge and the Broken Heartbreakers. And world music by the short-lived Ishta, one of whom went on to An Emerald City whose self-titled debut EP also came through the good offices of Monkey.\n\nReleasing music through independent channels is always challenging but Monkey kept it up and also embraced the new times by offering regular free downloads. Right now their catalogue stands at an impressive 37 releases (distributed here and overseas) in many different genres.\n\nBut the reason they are here is because of the Pay Peanuts Get Monkeys! promotion, and given how well many of these artists have been reviewed at Elsewhere (and elsewhere) that qualifies it for The Bargain Buy of the moment.\n\nYou can see the full list of Pay-Peanuts CDs and EPs -- and buy them direct from Monkey -- here.\n\nFor others in our regular Bargain Buy recommendations go here.",

"Maureen Dragasevich still has fond memories of gathering with her family to listen to Bill Cosby’s jokes as a kid. When she heard the comedian would be performing in Ontario, she and her siblings bought tickets to a show as a birthday present for their father, all in an attempt to relive what was once a family tradition.\n\nBut after a flood of sexual abuse allegations against Cosby in recent weeks, Dragasevich and her family have decided not to attend the performance, joining a growing number who are speaking out against his three scheduled appearances in Canada.\n\n“Given the fact that he’s played Mr. Jell-O Pudding and Dr. Huxtable, I think we kind of find it harder to believe,” said the 59-year-old Aurora, Ont., resident. “But we hold him accountable for his behaviour and his behaviour is disgusting.”\n\nCosby’s image has been pummelled in recent weeks by a flurry of allegations that he drugged women and sexually assaulted them, with some accusations dating back to the 1970s.\n\nHe has never been criminally charged in connection with the accusations, and his lawyer has denied many of them. Cosby also settled a lawsuit in 2005 with a Pennsylvania woman who said he drugged and fondled her.\n\nThe 77-year-old, who is in the midst of a stand-up concert tour, has had to deal with the cancellation or postponement of at least 10 of his shows as the scandal continues to swirl, but his appearances in three Ontario cities seem set to go ahead, despite local opposition.\n\nCosby is set to perform in Kitchener on Jan. 7, London on Jan. 8 and he’ll appear in Hamilton on Jan 9.\n\nHe has had little to say publicly about his scandal, although he did tell a Florida newspaper last month that “a guy doesn’t have to answer to innuendos.” His wife has also stepped forward, calling Cosby kind, generous and a wonderful husband and father.\n\nThe Ontario venues hosting Cosby have said his shows are being handled entirely by an external agent, which has indicated the events are still going ahead.\n\nThe Chicago-based Innovation Arts and Entertainment said Cosby’s representatives had informed them the comedian “has every intent to perform these events.”\n\n“While we understand and empathize this is a difficult time, we hope it is understood that both the venues and IAE are legally obligated to proceed as it applies to our commitments,” it said in a statement. “We would face crippling legal obstacles for violation.”\n\nThe Ontario venues have also emphasized their contractual obligations to allow the shows to continue.\n\nOne venue — Kitchener’s Centre In The Square, where the first show is set to take place — addressed residents’ anger directly.\n\n“While we may personally share concerns raised by the community, if The Centre forces a cancellation of this rental show it isn’t simply a situation of giving back the rent,” it said in a blog post, noting that it would also need to pay any “guarantee fee” to Cosby, compensate the promoter for box office losses and show expenses, and refund patrons.\n\nAfter noting the venue’s stance, a handful of Kitchener residents came up with a way to demonstrate their opposition by holding an alternative event, which will run at the same time as Cosby’s show, with proceeds going to two women’s crisis support centres in the region.\n\n“Too often we fail survivors of sexual assault, we shame them, we blame them, we doubt their experiences and so it’s in moments like this that we have an opportunity to stand in support of survivors in our community,” said Sara Casselman, a spokeswoman for the Sexual Assault Support Centre of Waterloo Region, which will be benefiting from the event.\n\nThe event — called Voices Carry — was triggered by a local broadcaster musing on Twitter about whether an alternative fundraiser could be pulled together. Those who’ve purchased tickets to Cosby’s show can gain free admission.\n\nMeanwhile, in London, Ont., where Cosby is to perform a day later, a women’s centre is organizing a protest against the comedian.\n\n“We’re appalled that any Canadian city would host Bill Cosby,” said Megan Walker, executive director of the London Abused Women’s Centre. “Allowing Bill Cosby to perform in London is completely contradictory to the support this community has continued to give to women abused by men.”\n\nThe centre has joined forces with two local union groups and has also been receiving phone calls and emails from residents interested in its demonstration, which it hopes will send a message to Cosby.\n\n“Bill Cosby isn’t a joke to us, he’s not funny. We’re taking it very seriously and I think the promoter should start taking this city and its concerns seriously.”\n\nSimilar sentiments are being aired in Hamilton, where another protest is planned to coincide with Cosby’s Jan. 9 performance in the city.\n\n“We are going to have a peaceful gathering, one to just show support for the women,” said Nicky Bomberry, of the area’s Women Abuse Working Group.\n\n“It’s not going to be a bashing Bill Cosby protest, it’s really about getting the message across about changing the attitude to rape culture and sexual assault.”\n\nCosby’s representatives did not respond to a request for comment."

"How to put out a FIRE? Use Liquidity\n\nRecently our plans for FIRE took a slight turn for the worse. It’s a reminder that paper profits can flatter your balance sheet but when the SHTF it’s all smoke and mirrors. The importance of liquidity is hard to ignore.\n\nAnything which has a value which depends on the whims of individual buyers is a risk. Think fine wines, classic cars, private shares, property, antiques, stamps.\n\nYou could have just invested in a FIRE extinguisher!\n\nI made an investment in an equity raise in a beer company in 2011. I liked the company at the time and I had the spare money so invest. Fast forward a few years and the company is valued at around a billion pounds and my shares have jumped in value. I sold a portion in 2016 up to the capital gains tax limit taking profits. More recently the company continued to grow in value and they were raising capital again pricing the company at 40 times what I originally paid. On paper, I was sitting on a small goal mine.",
null,
"The graph shows how my shareholding has changed over time – peaking at over £60,000 or 8% of net assets. That’s a significant portion of our FIRE assets. Understandably we’ve been trying to reduce our exposure but trading is limited in this company and whilst buying shares is relatively easy, selling is a bit trickier with only 3 trading days having taken place. Roughly once a year.\n\nThere was a trading day at the end of January and the final trading price was about 30% lower than what the shares were for sale just recently. Fair enough, there are a number of owners who like me are potentially sitting on large gains and would rather pay off the mortgage, or do something else with the money.\n\nThis drop in value actually means about a 3% reduction in our Net Assets – but more importantly; I was planning to sell some shares (up to the CGT limit) this year and invest in ETFs instead, but I didn’t sell. I still own a number of shares but whilst there is a line in my expenses spreadsheet that says that I have £40k in shares, I can’t sell (or buy) shares in the company and that’s a real concern.\n\nMaybe I should have sold at the trade price. It was about 30 times what my original investment was – still very good profit and a beer in the hand is worth two in the fridge.\n\nThe company has done well and is still growing. There are plans to float in the future and some estimations of the value of the company indicate that the “fair” value might be twice (or more) of what the recent trade prices are. Floating may happen in a couple of years time – that’s undecided. Potentially with a FTSE250 listing, the shares gain liquidity (and maybe jump in value? – that would be nice).\n\nBy comparison, a company like Fevertree is valued at over £3 billion pounds. It has a P/E of over 60. Beer company might make carbonated beverages but its price right now is not as frothy as that.\n\nSo, now we’ve got a bit of a problem: if we decide to FIRE, we plan to use a combination of funds to provide the cashflow to live off (dividends, VCT sales, P2P lending, cash/savings balances, beer co. sales). Having money tied up in the beer company means that there’s a risk that our paper profits go up in smoke. No FIRE without some smoke and having a significant proportion of our wealth in one illiquid share is not ideal. I don’t even drink beer anymore and if did have a beer it would be a delicious Belgian beer not a British craft beer – as good as craft is, I’m a Belgian beer fan through and through (slice my liver and you’ll see that it’s black, yellow & red through and through\n\nSo, that’s it. An investment that’s already paid off for me – I’ve made back my original investment already. I’m not upset about the price dropping, it’s paper profits but I am a bit upset that I don’t have the money in the bank now to invest in dividend paying ETFs like I had planned. It also introduces more risk to our finances than I would like. It’s in part like people wiser than me have said – get rich once.\n\nWe are the Jonses!\n\nSorry, I Called the Bubble Burst on Tesla Too Quickly!"

"Some of my students and their families have been asking me about my new digital piano and how I like it.\n\nI recently bought a Privia PX850 digital piano, which I use for my own playing, and for teaching my piano students. It is made by Casio, and it is the top of the range digital piano in the Privia line.\n\nI had another Privia digital piano (the Privia PX110) before buying the PX850, and was very happy with that model.\n\nI, nevertheless, decided to upgrade the PX110 to the PX850 for a number of reasons:\n\nFirstly, although the PX110 had a really rich sound, and was a real pleasure to play, the notes did not keep their sound for very long (if you wanted to play long, sustained notes), and the PX110 had a limited memory and, thus, a limited ability to create accurate sound layering when playing more complex pieces.\n\nWith the new PX850, there is a 256-note polyphony piano sound memory technology, which means that a pianist can create a much more complex layering of notes, and sustain the sounds for a much greater amount of time than with the earlier PX110 model.\n\nSecondly, the keys of the PX110 were physically slightly too large and too high, compared to an actual acoustic piano, as well as being slippery, which impaired the quality of the playing to some degree. It would take an adjustment to perform on the smaller keys of a real piano after practicing on the PX110. The keys also were quite noisy, and made a clacking sound when playing, which could be heard over the notes when playing quietly.\n\nThe PX850 has keys of very similar size to a real acoustic piano, making playing or performing on a real piano after practicing on the PX850 an easy switch. The resistance of the keys to finger pressure is also very similar to that of a real piano, and the new ebony and ivory texture to the keys makes them much less slippery than the PX110.\n\nThere is no clacking sound with the PX850 when pressing the keys either.\n\nThe sound of the PX850 is rich and full and very grand-piano-like, and with the open-lid speaker projection (i.e you can lift the lid on the top of the piano, as you can on a real piano, to make the sound louder) the PX850 is capable of producing a very resonant and realistic sound.\n\nThe PX850 comes in a compact furniture-style lightweight cabinet in satin black, medium brown or satin white, with sliding key cover and full sheet music rack. It has three pedals (the una corda or soft pedal on the left, the sostenuto pedal in the middle, and the sustain or loud pedal on the right).\n\nHere is a link to the PX850 on Amazon, as well as links to other Privia models:",

"The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna\n\nIn this stunning debut novel, a young woman tells the story behind two elderly sisters’ estrangement, unraveling family secrets stretching back a century and across the Atlantic to early 20th century Italy\n\nFor Stella Fortuna, death has always been a part of life. Stella’s childhood is full of strange, life-threatening incidents—moments where ordinary situations like cooking eggplant or feeding the pigs inexplicably take lethal turns. Even Stella’s own mother is convinced that her daughter is cursed or haunted.In her rugged Italian village, Stella is considered an oddity—beautiful and smart, insolent and cold. Stella uses her peculiar toughness to protect her slower, plainer baby sister Tina from life’s harshest realities. But she also provokes the ire of her father Antonio: a man who demands subservience from women and whose greatest gift to his family is his absence.When the Fortunas emigrate to America on the cusp of World War II, Stella and Tina must come of age side-by-side in a hostile new world with strict expectations for each of them. Soon Stella learns that her survival is worthless without the one thing her family will deny her at any cost: her independence.In present-day Connecticut, one family member tells this heartrending story, determined to understand the persisting rift between the now-elderly Stella and Tina. A richly told debut, The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna is a tale of family transgressions as ancient and twisted as the olive branch that could heal them.\n\nJuliet Grames was born in Hartford, Connecticut, and grew up in a tight-knit Italian-American family. A book editor, she has spent the last decade at Soho Press, where she is Associate Publisher and curator of the Soho Crime imprint. This is her first novel."

"Nikan Khosravi, a member of the Iranian metal band “Confession,” left Iran for Turkey to avoid being imprisoned for six years for producing metal music, he told the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI) on March 29, 2018.\n\n“The interrogators had translated my English lyrics [into Farsi] verse by verse and were asking questions about this and that word and told me I was a Satan worshipper and didn’t believe in God,” Khosravi told CHRI. “They really thought I was a bad person. They asked about who was giving me financial support and what were my connections.”\n\n“They said my lyrics were political but I was 21 and wasn’t interested in and didn’t understand politics,” he said. “But when you live in Iran, from the day you are born, politics get mixed into your daily life and that’s why it entered my lyrics.”\n\nKhosravi, 23, and fellow band member Arash Ilkhani, 24, were arrested by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on November 9, 2015, days after the release of their second album, “In Pursuit Of Dreams.” They were accused of producing “satanic” music.\n\nAt the time, the band was using a music studio Khosravi built in his bedroom at his family’s home in Tehran. He and Ilkhani were also both studying English for translation purposes at nearby Roudehen Azad Islamic University.\n\nAll Iranian artists, including but not limited to painters, filmmakers, photographers and writers, must receive permission from the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance to publish or promote their work in Iran.\n\nThose who publicize their work without receiving a permit can be arrested and imprisoned on a variety of charges.\n\nOn March 17, 2017, Judge Mohammad Moghisseh of Branch 28 of the Revolutionary Court in Tehran sentenced Khosravi and Ilkhani to six years in prison each for “insulting the sacred” and “propaganda against the state.”\n\nIlkhani is currently in Iran awaiting the Appeals Court’s ruling but Khosravi left the country soon after the preliminary verdict and is seeking asylum in another country through the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Turkey.\n\n“I’m 24-years old. I have been living with fear and anxiety since our arrest,” Khosravi told CHRI. “After the court issued its verdict, I realized that I could go to prison for six years, or maybe a little less if the sentence got reduced on appeal, so I decided to leave Iran.”\n\n“I thought I was going to be executed”\n\nDescribing his arrest, Khosravi said: “Seven or eight agents suddenly raided our home and started searching everywhere, including my room. They confiscated some of my belongings and then handcuffed me and took me with them.”\n\nHe continued: “They told me I was accused of insulting the prophet. They also arrested Arash [Ilkhani] on the street on his way home from university. We were interrogated separately by the IRGC for 10 days in Ward 2-A in Evin Prison. I was interrogated by four or five agents.”\n\n“For a long time I thought I was going to be executed but with the help of my lawyer, the interrogators accepted that my lyrics did not contain anything insulting toward the prophet or his disciples,” Khosravi added. “I just had one song that was about the nature of God.”\n\nKhosravi was released from detention in late November 2015 after posting bail set at 100 million tomans (approximately $26,500 USD). He was arrested again in February 2016 and held for another two months.\n\nHis trial was held during two sessions on September 18 and December 26, 2016.\n\n“During the trial, the first question the judge asked was when I had started my alleged activities against the state. It was as if he was certain I had engaged in anti-state activities,” Khosravi said. “I told him I didn’t care about the state. He asked why I had written and sang such lyrics.”\n\n“During the second court session, Judge Moghisseh again asked what my intention was in singing such lyrics and to explain my connections,” he added. “The session did not last more than 15 minutes.”"

"This dough is made using a poolish which means that part of the dough is fermented overnight to increase flavour and texture. We then added olive oil for elasticity and flavour. The ‘cues’ are shaped by hand, proved then baked in a fairly hot oven to dry out. Sundried Tomato Ciabatta : This is made using the same method as the ‘cue’ but with a more relaxed dough (added water). We then add soaked Sundried tomatoes.\n\nA traditional Italian bread. Ours is made as a lean dough, just flour, water, salt and yeast. Herbs and lashings of olive oil are then added. This bread is not shaped as such, but is rather pressed into a tin. Butternut Squash & Sesame Roll : No yeast is added to this dough. A wide range of yeasts and bacterias exist on flour and in water. We ferment the flour and water together to make a ‘mother’ and this leavens the bread. We make this bread over a three day process which gives it its chewy, holey texture and slightly tangy taste. We added roast butternut squash to the dough, rolled it in sesame then proved it in the fridge overnight before baking.\n\nWe use Yorkshire Organic stoneground wholemeal flour for this dough. It is both grown and milled in North Yorkshire and is delicious and naturally sweet. We make this bread using a ‘flying poolish’ which is where all the yeast is added to one third of the total flour and water and fermented for an hour or so before being added to the remaining flour, salt and water to make the final dough. This is one of the few loaves me prove in a tin this is because the structure needs the support of the tin to rise.\n\nFRAME 4. PINK Beetroot Sourdough: We make all our sourdoughs using the same method (just flour, water and salt) but with differing flours and sourdough starters. This bread is made from our white sourdough. We grate beetroot fresh and add to the final dough. The beetroot makes the dough very soft and naturally sweet.\n\nFRAME 5. BLACK Black Bread: This is our version of a Russian Black Bread. This is based on our 100% rye sourdough loaf. To which I added Yorkshire Organic Millers 85% white flour (regular white flour is around 72% extraction*) malt extract, black treacle and caraway seed. Whilst researching this bread I found it very hard to get a firm consensus regarding what the flavours of Russian Black Bread should be. Some said coffee, old rye breads, chopped rye and many other ingredients, but I think these flavours work well and will intensify over time. *extraction: Grains are milled to create flour. They are then sieved to separate out the flour, bran, germ and semolina. Wholemeal flour is where all these ingredients are added back together, so you are eating all the grain. Or they are either left separate which makes the whitest flour at around 72% grain and 28% bran, germ and semolina that are not added back\nand will be sold separately. The 85% will have a higher proportion of the bran, germ and semolina in the flour.\n\nThe only unpasteurised farmhouse red Leicester made in the world. This version of Sparkenhoe red Leicester is the vintage profile; aged for 18 months, which gives it a strong, powerful flavour. Made by Jo and David Clarke in Market Bosworth, Leicestershire, England.\nMay Hill Green\n\nMade with a mixture of pasteurised milk of rare-breed Gloucester and Friesian cattle in a manner similar to Stinking Bishop, except that the rind is not washed. Instead the rind is topped by chopped nettles and coiled by a Beechwood lath to give the cheese a distinct character. The paste is semi-soft with a soft and runny texture and a peppery finish. Flavour is lactic with and fairly strong aroma. It is great cheese to serve on a cheeseboard or spread on flavoured bread. Made by Charles Martell in Gloucestershire. Vegetarian.\n\nGjestost is made using pasteurised cow’s and goat’s milk. The name is derived from the Norwegian for goat – Gjet. The cheese is made by boiling the leftover whey from the cow’s and goat’s milk together until the lactose caramelises. Norwegians enjoy Gjetost with coffee for breakfast, shaved thinly on flatbread or with spiced fruit cake at Christmas.\n\nA delicious, creamy-textured, blue cheese from Carmarthenshire, Wales. Made by Carwyn Adams. When young, Perl Las (which translates as blue pearl in English) has a delicate blue taste. When mature, it becomes golden in colour and fuller in flavour.\nGoat curd White Lake Cheese was started in 2004 by Peter Humphries and Roger Longman. Based in the heart of Cheddar Country they make a range of artisan Goat’s, Sheep’s and Cow’s milk cheeses. The goat curd is a very fresh version of cheese. The Goat’s milk comes from Rogers own herd,\n\nMade by the Fabbri family in Tuscany. The Tuscan ewes enjoy fragrant and aromatic pastures, which produce rich milk. The rind is rubbed with olive skins to create the characteristic black colour, and the cheese is matured for six months to produce a harder texture and a full flavour.\n\nNot quite a red or rose this is a natural wine made by organic farming methods. The grapes are harvested by hand and minimal handling of the Rojal grape is encouraged to get to the winery as quickly as allowed. The skins of the grapes are left in contact with the must (unfermented grape juice) for a few hours only. Aged in Tinajas clay pots to allow the wine to settle before bottling. Produced in small quantities. The wine is lively and fresh in the mouth. We have lightly chilled it to match the Red Leicester to retain a fresh and crisp opening.\n\nGreen Wine A really fresh easy drinking white from the N.W of Portugal, located 30 km from the Atlantic coast. This wine is made from a single variety Loureiro, which is one of the more aromatic grapes from the Vinho Verde area. A wine that is finding many ways to be enjoyed from simple summer drinking to sea food and light grilled meats. This links well to the May Hill Green semi soft style.\n\nThis may be one of the most unusual flavours from a white wine you have had so far. The theme this month allows us to have some fun and choose some more off the wall combinations. This Vin Jaune is made by the Savagnin variety and is made in a method close to a Fino Sherry wine allowing a Veil of yeast to form in the barrel. The bottle Clavelin is 62cls which is the desired amount of wine left after ageing from an initial litre of wine !\n\nBrown Tinges This is a blend of Amontillados with the age of the youngest wine no less than four years. As Sherry wine goes this has delicate notes of flavour from the Palomino grape and careful oak barrel ageing. It lies somewhere between a youthful Fino and maturing Amontillado. The Bodegas is still owned by two families.\nJeio Rosato\n\nSparkling from the Prosecco producing area Valdobbiadene. I will leave the blue to the cheese! This super spumante style wine from the family Bisol. Made with mainly Merlot and Pinot Noir grapes and some Glera for the finesse .The colour comes from the skins of the two red grapes. With this in mind we have a super cleansing feeling to work with the Per Las cheese.\n\nAn aged Semillon with toasty barrel flavours from the toasted American and French oak. With concentrated flavours of coffee, toffee, anise and dried fruits developing in the glass we end with this super sweety from Australia."

"This is a fascinating paper which has distracted me from my thought train on uncoupling, mitochondrial membrane potential and ROS generation because it has aspects involving all three while not being particularly intuitive as to what is going on. I picked it up via comments from Tucker and Raphi on twitter.\nDeuterium-reinforced polyunsaturated fatty acids protect agains atherosclerosis by lowering lipid peroxidation and hypercholesterolemia\nFirst aside: Mouse model. This current model, the APOE*3-Leiden mouse, is a model. It's not as totally useless as an APOE total knockout or an LDL receptor knockout model but it's still nothing like a real mouse or like a real human. Mouse lipoprotein management is not like human lipoprotein management. They do not have a cholesterol ester transfer protein. The Leiden mouse has this human gene engineered in. It also has a selective APOE*3 knockout to give a mild elevation of LDL. The end result is a model which has numbers on a lipid panel which look a bit more like a human with metabolic syndrome than the average extreme knockout mouse model.\nBut it's not a human with metabolic syndrome. It's an APOE*3-Leiden mouse and if you found a cure for its \"atherosclerosis\" you would have a great tool for helping APOE*3-Leiden mice. Would it translate to helping humans with metabolic syndrome? Hahahahahahahahah bonk. End aside.\nSecond aside: Does LDL cause atherosclerosis? Hahahahahahahah, bonk. To anyone with any sense atherosclerosis is a response to injury where IGF-1 delivered by platelets attaching to the injured endothelium causes media hypertrophy to reinforce the site of injury. This is accelerated if systemic hyperinsulinaemia also acts as an agonist on those IGF-1 receptors. It can almost certainly be enhanced by delivering lipid peroxides such as 4-HNE, 13-HODE and 9-HODE, though their effects are very, very complex. I'm perfectly willing to believe that any genetic engineered tweak in to a mouse which increases the persistence of linoleic acid containing lipoproteins in the plasma allows time for that LA to spontaneously oxidise and accelerate what looks a bit like atherosclerosis, in the model. Just my view. End second aside.\nOK. On to the paper:\nThe APOE*3-Leiden mice were reared on non specific chow. At 12 weeks of age (Time -4) they were put on to something derived from the AIN-93M diet. All lipids were all supplied as methyl esters of fatty acids, not triglycerides. It contained 1.2% of calories as LA and 9% of calories as sucrose. The intervention group had exactly half of the 1.2% of LA calories supplied in the form of deuterium stabilised, ROS peroxidation resistant D2-linoleic acid.\nThey were fed these diets for four weeks. At that point (Time zero) 0.15% by weight of reagent grade cholesterol was added to both diets (otherwise the model doesn't work to get the essential-for-funding lipid lesions, no sniggering at the back. It's a model). This \"western\" diet, which only differed from the run-in diet by the added 0.15% reagent grade cholesterol, caused/allowed some weight gain over the following 12 weeks but less in the D2-LA supplemented group than the normal LA group:",
null,
"No weight gain on either of the run-in diets, followed by lots of gain in the \"normal\" LA diet but not the D2-LA diet once the cholesterol was added.\nWhy?\nWhy should adding 0.15% of cholesterol produce such diverging weight gains?\nEven more exciting is if you look at lean mass vs adipose mass:\n\nAdding just 0.15% cholesterol produced a marked fat mass gain in the normal LA mice and a trend downward in fat mass for the ROS protected D2-LA mice.\nOn top of that the D2-LA mice started eating extra during the period of fat loss. A lot extra:",
null,
"Soooooooo. What is going on?\nWell, the first thing to realise is that during the four week run-in period after the replacement of chow by the AIN-93M derived diets there were already changes which didn't show in total body weights (graphs A and B). The mice, with or without deuterium stabilised LA, all lost muscle mass and all gained fat mass during those weeks, just under a gram of each. So, even without the reagent grade cholesterol, changes were already on going from a \"normal\" mouse phenotype on chow towards a \"skinny-fat\" phenotype on an AIN-93M-like diet. That's clear in graphs C and D. Possibly from the sucrose but there's no way of telling that from the paper.\nThe changes were on-going before the diets were \"westernised\" by the addition of 0.15% of reagent grade cholesterol. I suspect that the addition of the cholesterol is a red herring.\nLet's go on to look at food intakes.\nThe mice on the deuterated LA eventually began eating more than those on the standard LA. This became statistically significant at about week five.",
null,
"Any mouse which is eating extra and losing adipose tissue is either showing malabsorption or uncoupling.\nI'll buy the uncoupling, but then I would.\nWhy the delay to the onset of starting to eat extra? Is there a delay in uncoupling onset? Not necessarily. A normal mouse uses a significant percentage of its caloric intake to generate heat in its brown adipose tissue. There is no need to increase food intake while ever the purported uncoupling from deuterated D2-LA is generating less heat than is needed to maintain body temperature. As heat production increases over time it begins to exceed this essential minimum and so comes to represent a \"calories-out\" in excess of what is merely needed to keep warm. At this point an increase in food intake becomes necessary to balance the heat lost by supra-physiological uncoupling.\nIf this is correct, and that's a big if, there is clearly an on-going progressive increase in uncoupling with time. The logical explanation is that there is a progressive increase of deuterated D2-LA in tissues and/or being used for beta oxidation.\nHow might deuterated, ROS resistant LA, facilitate uncoupling?\nI don't know, so it's time for some routine wild speculation. If we could answer that one question the whole scenario becomes straight forward. Sadly it is not at all obvious why D2-LA should facilitate uncoupling. Here's my current best shot. If I think of something more plausible I'll post again:\nLet's assume that linoleic acid, whether deuterated or native, allows excess calories in to a cell. This is the doodle from a few posts ago:",
null,
"which then leads to this doodle:",
null,
null,
"This begs the question as to how much damage (signalling?) is done by the stray electrons, how much by superoxide, by hydrogen peroxide or how much is actually mediated by the lipid peroxides generated from linoleic acid per se. Which is the most important mediator?\nLet me suggest that D2-LA allows the excessive delta psi, which facilitates both reverse electron transport and pathological ROS generation. As in the previous post the high delta psi eventually allows D2-LA to drive RET at the cost of, via high delta psi, allowing electrons to be lost from the ETC to oxygen at abnormal sites, forming superoxide. Under D2-LA this superoxide has very limited ability to contact oxidisable native linoleic acid.\nSo now we look more like this with ;",
null,
"There is a surfeit of ATP, high delta psi and availability of either LA and/or D2-LA to facilitate uncoupling combined with minimal damage to the ETC. You do have to have a source of 4-HNE or a related \"damage marker\" to facilitate uncoupling but it doesn't need much.\nI can't see any more straightforward technique for D2-LA to uncouple. If there is one and it's clear how it works, that would be great. Currently this is the best I can do.\nSummary: D2-LA allows uncoupling. That explains everything, but the mechanism for the uncoupling is obscure and I'm guessing.\nNB I was also trying to explain to myself why the control group got fat. I don't think they did. A total weight gain of 5g over 12 weeks to give a final weight of 25g sounds like a normal mouse to me. It's the slim mice eating extra food to maintain that slim bodyweight that are abnormal.\nUltimately the paper poses the question: What determines whether a cell deals with excess calories by sequestration to storage vs uncoupling. Obviously this is insulin signalling. But is it an oxidation product of linoleic acid which controls insulin signalling? Are we simply looking at a situation of absolutely suppressed insulin signalling, due to D2-LA being \"too\" stable?\nPeter\nFinal addendum/aside. There is a claim on 'tinternet, un referenced, that low dose oral deuterium oxide in mammals causes weight loss, rather than the death which is the normal result of high dose exposure. Could D2O trigger uncoupling irrespective of LA type and the catabolism of D2-LA be a simple source of deuterated water by oxidation of the D2-LA? I doubt this but the idea is still a potential explanation. I have hunted support/refutation for this without success.\nPeter at Monday, May 16, 2022"

"This fall, the galleries of MOCA's Geffen Contemporary are sure to be overrun by fans of multimedia artist Doug Aitken, whose retrospective Electric Earth opens on September 11. Working with museum director Philippe Vergne, Aitken is transforming the enormous Little Tokyo warehouse as an immersive experience of his work rather than a traditional chronological exhibition.\n\nStill from Marnie Weber's \"The Day of Forevermore,\" 2016\nCourtesy of the artist and GAVLAK Los Angeles\nPhoto by LeeAnn Nickel\n\nAlso downtown at the Ace Hotel this Sunday, September 11, artist Marnie Weber presents her first full-length feature film The Day of Forevermore at 7:30pm. Weber is widely admired for her use of human and animal hybrids, fantastical detailed costumes and rock-based music that she often writes herself. On September 17, a substantial exhibition of her work, Chapel of the Moon, with photo-collages and gilded trees with stained glass fragments continues the narrative of the film at Gavlak Gallery in Hollywood.\n\nIt is also the season of prints. The Serial Impulse at Gemini G.E.L., a survey of ground breaking works by contemporary artists Roy Lichtenstein, Richard Serra and others made at the LA studio between 1966 to 2014 also opens September 11 at LACMA. At Gemini G.E.L.'s own Frank Gehry-designed gallery on Melrose Avenue, on September 21, there opens a show of new prints of blue skies and white clouds, L.A. Enthusiasm, by Tacita Dean, the English artist best known for her films. Mixografia, another experimental publisher of limited edition prints has established a new gallery downtown opening on September 10 with Paper or Plastic?, works by the LA-based Argentinian Analia Saban, who has a museum show opening later this month at the Blaffer Art Museum in Houston.\n\nThe afternoon and evening of September 10 there are multiple openings of shows at galleries all over the city, especially in Culver City. Highlights include Henry Taylor's most recent paintings set in unique environments, a show that between 6 and 8pm features Taylor's performance with Kahlil Joseph at Blum and Poe. Across La Cienega Boulevard, Jun Kaneko's grand architectural ceramics are featured at Edward Cella Art + Architecture. On September 17, Astrolabe, the fantastical figurative drawings and paintings of Tom Knechtel, opens at Marc Selwyn Fine Art.\n\nThis Saturday, September 10, is the evening of Sexy Beast at the Ace Hotel, the live and online auction and party organized to rather money for important cause of Planned Parenthood. In part because of the involvement of Night Gallery, the event brings out great work donated by great artists. Get tickets.\n\nOn the topic of women who paint: In Beverly Hills, Gagosian Gallery offers a lush survey of painting by a founder of 1960s color field painting, Helen Frankenthaler from September 16. On September 25, LACMA opens a 22-year survey of the reductive but grandly realist paintings of Toba Khedoori, from her monumental works on waxed paper to her more recent, intimate oils on canvas. Sharon Ellis, known for taking a year to complete a single one of her transcendental landscape paintings, will show smaller but equally vibrant works on paper from November 12 at Christopher Grimes Gallery.\n\nAt the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena, there is the intriguing Radio Imagination: Artists in the Archives of Octavia E. Butler, works inspired by the papers of the influential African American science fiction writer, which are housed at the Huntington Library. It opens on October 1. At the Huntington's own Scott Galleries, Lari Pittman: Mood Books includes six monumental illustrated books in an installation by architect Michael Maltzan from September 3.\n\nThat's all for now. Gotta run!"

"Enrique Martinez was dripping water when he walked into Fifth Street Counseling Center, in Plantation, on a Tuesday evening last July.\n\nSummer in South Florida usually means rain and it was pouring rain that afternoon while he commuted from the sober home in Margate where he has been living to his monthly appointment at the clinic. It takes him over an hour to get there. First, he takes a bus and then he finishes the trip on his bike.\n\nMartinez has sought treatment for opiates and meth at least four times during the last decade. His cravings used to wake him up if he hadn't used recently enough. He said the effort it takes to get to Fifth Street is well worth it for him.\n\nMartinez came to the clinic to receive his fifth shot of Vivitrol in the last five months.\n\n\"It's just...I don't feel turned on by drugs as much,\" he said. \"It normally is like a constant, especially in early recovery, it's a constant thing that's in my mind, it's like, pestering me.\"\n\nVivitrol is a medication used to treat opioid addiction. It's a monthly shot that reduces cravings for opioid drugs by blocking the receptors in the brain that absorb them. It gets injected into the butt muscle once a month. It can only be administered by a physician.\n\nVivitrol has been approved by the Federal Drug Administration to treat addiction since 2006, but it is only recently that Broward County has added it to its tools to help drug addicts drop the habit.\n\nBroward started using the medication in its treatment programs just in January of this year - close to eight months ago. County officials had been trying to secure funding for the drug for several years as opioid overdose deaths in Broward rise. Those deaths doubled two years ago in the county.\n\nAt the start of the new fiscal year this July, funding for Broward's Vivitrol programs was renewed.\n\nBut Vivitrol is a brand name for the cheaper generic drug that comes in pill-form, called Naltrexone.\n\nVivitrol can cost anywhere from $1,100 to $1,600 dollars per shot. That serves one patient, for one month. However, the trade-off is that there is no need to take a pill every day - which helps addicts who worry about abusing pills.",
null,
"There’s a lot of money being spent now on medications to fight addiction: The money for Broward County providers to pay for Vivitrol comes from a pool of $6 million dollars that the state of Florida set aside for the Office of the State Court Administrator to use with the Florida Alcohol and Drug Abuse Association (FADAA) for medication-assisted treatments.\n\nIn total, Florida allocated more than $53 million dollars this year to drug abuse prevention and treatments. Broward County providers share in those funds with the rest of the state.\n\nMartinez - like many people in Broward using Vivitrol - is able to get the medication for free through Fifth Street Counseling Center's program. It is free for anyone as long as they can prove that they aren't able to afford it on their own, or their health insurance won't cover it.\n\nKjelson serves on The United Way of Broward County Commission on Substance Abuse, which is the response team trying to come up with more local solutions to the opioid crisis. While he thinks the medication is one good treatment option for patients, he questions if there aren't smarter ways for Florida to use the funding being allotted for Vivitrol.\n\nThere are two other approved drugs used to fight opioid cravings in addicts: Buprenorphine and methadone. But both are forms of opioids that someone will eventually still need to detox off of after using. Vivitrol is not.\n\nVivitrol is a non-opioid, and non-addictive option for people battling addiction.\n\nThat's part of the reason why the medication is getting more widely used in court systems across the country, including in Broward County. Fifth Street is an approved treatment provider for Broward County's drug court system and also for the state's Department of Children and Families, DCF.\n\nBut the other reason it's becoming more widely used in government systems, including Florida, is its marketing strategy.\n\nMost drug companies market their medications to doctors. However, the company that manufactures Vivitrol - called Alkermes - uses lobbyists to market its drug directly to judges and policymakers.\n\nFlorida’s latest bill to combat substance abuse funds all three available treatments, but Vivitrol is the only direct brand. It specifically names the \"Naltrexone extended-release injectable\". There's only one, and it's Vivitrol.\n\n\"We're getting good results, I don't want to diminish the drug, I have a good relationship with them,\" Dr. Fahie said. \"But I'm honest and so...it is not in awe.\"\n\nAlkermes has a political action committee that has been donating thousands of dollars to Florida politicians for several election cycles now, since before 2016.\n\nFlorida Senator Lizbeth Benacquisto received a $1,000 campaign contribution from the company in 2016, as did Representative Jim Boyd in 2015. They sponsored versions of this year's controlled substances bill that provides funding for Vivitrol.\n\nRepresentative Bryan Avila also worked on the bill and received the same $1,000 campaign contribution from the company.\n\nBenacquisto, Boyd, and Avila did not respond to requests for an interview.\n\nKjelson, from NSU, said the political money shouldn't diminish what the drug can do for people, but it can't be ignored either.\n\n\"We have to be able to recognize when certain things are being, you know, enticed to use, or subsidized to use - or being paid for,\" he said.\n\nMartinez says he hasn’t got back to using drugs, but it wasn't only opioids that he was addicted to. He also used meth. But Vivitrol does not block the receptors in your brain that absorb amphetamine drugs. And that has led to an uptick in people turning to meth to get high in some places across the country, like Vinton County, Ohio.\n\nDr. Fahie said, just in the little over half of a year since incorporating Vivitrol into county treatment plans, he has not seen meth use on the rise in Broward County. Yet, anyway.\n\nHe also said, as it is with any addiction treatment program, patients who are the successful ones and can stay sober, are the ones who have a support network from family or friends.\n\n\"They have to have psycho-social support, and I can't over-stress that,\" He said. \"It can't just be the shot alone.\"\n\nBroward County is about to get more money for programs helping people fight their opioid addictions.\n\nThe federal government set aside nearly $1 billion to fight the opioid crisis nationwide this year. Florida is set to receive $49.3 million from those funds, of which an estimated $7-10 million is going to Broward County.\n\nCounty officials don’t know yet exactly how much they will get.\n\nFlorida was one of several states last year to declare a state of emergency because of opioid abuse. But despite efforts by state and federal officials, some local teens don't feel like enough is being done to help students.\n\nThe head of the nation's top public health agency says the opioid epidemic will be one of his priorities, and he revealed a personal reason for it: His son almost died from taking cocaine contaminated with the powerful painkiller fentanyl."

"Day two of the Australian Music week conference was full of rapid-fire panels and keynotes packed with valuable information.\n\nMusic Management and the Gender Divide\n\nIn the morning session “Music Management and the Gender Divide” it was noted by moderator Shelley Bishop (Studios 301) that we continue to have the same conversations around being treated with the same respect as our male colleagues.\n\nShelley recalled sitting in on a similar panel years ago at another conference and noting that while it’s great she’s now moderating these panels, there’s more we can do as an industry to move the conversation forward.\n\nIt was also acknowledged that while it’s great to have an all-female panel, women can’t solve the issue of equality on their own.\n\nIt’s been mentioned time and time again by leaders and influential figures across the world that it needs to be the men in positions of power alongside women pushing for and creative change within their organisations and working communities.\n\nPanelist Lynley White-Smith (Studios 301) jumped in with a great point about focusing more on intersectionality when it comes to hiring and programming in the industry. BIGSOUND and the Australian Women in Music Awards have made great strides in championing artists with a diverse range of backgrounds, particularly indigenous and non-binary artists, but the panel acknowledged that the industry could be pushing this even further.\n\nThere was also a rather striking and alarming statistic that Bishop shared, revealing that “women make up 38% of the work force when it comes to entry level engineering jobs in recording studios, however, only 2% of women rise through the ranks to the top of that field”.\n\nThis is an incredibly alarming statistic, considering 47% of music graduates are female.\n\nAdding to this point, it was noted by the panel collectively that historically, there hasn’t been much opportunity, especially in the sound engineering space to rise up the ranks.\n\n“We’ve spent a fair bit of time trying to address culture and addressing the things that have always been,” said White-Smith of the company culture at Studios 301.\n\n“We’ve had to support people in changing and relearning the ways they interact.”\n\nExpanding on that, White-Smith shared that at times she’s had to step in and create the behaviour change herself by pulling engineers up who have yelled at entry level engineers in front of a room full of people. White-Smith noted that teaching people that there are better ways to get what they need out of their colleagues and to take the emotion out of the situation has had a positive impact on company culture.\n\nChugg Entertainment’s Managing Director Susan Heymann added to this point by explaining that in order to address problematic behaviour effectively, she takes the emotion out of the situation:\n\n“If someone makes things personal, you don’t need to tell them they’re upsetting you in your response, you need to explain that what they’re addressing with you isn’t relevant to the situation and bring it back to the facts and the outcome you’re looking to achieve”.\n\nWhen asked by an audience member about dealing with situations where there may be an “old boy’s club mentality” White-Smith told the audience to “build your power outside of the situation” and to not buy into it when you’re being undermined.\n\nAnother important point to come out of that session came from The Brag Media’s Managing Editor Poppy Reid, who confessed to suffering pretty badly at times from “Imposter Syndrome”. Reid stated that through er research around 70% of people report that at one point or another in their careers they have suffered from this affliction, and this statistic includes men too.\n\nWhen asked how she deals with and overcomes these thoughts, Poppy lamented:\n\nIndica Records Co-founder and Managing Director Kyria Kilakos made a great point to add to this, telling the panel, “I have a really easy time owning my failures and a really hard time owning my successes, but you’ve got to be able to own your successes and say ‘I did this’.”\n\nClosing out the panel’s discussion was the all important question of “How do we get more women to where we’re sitting?” at which point Poppy Reid jumped in and made an excellent point: “The onus is not on women, we’re not there. Men are in the majority of decision-making positions.”\n\nIn the afternoon, a panel consisting of some of the biggest names in the business broke down what it takes for artists to build successful and sustainable careers in the industry.\n\nWhen asked about what new and emerging artists don’t understand that you wish they did, Bluesfest Director Peter Noble bluntly stated, “you’re not going to make much in the beginning but it’s about getting in front of people like me.”\n\nNoble also spoke directly to the artists in the audience that may be showcasing at the conference this year.\n\n“Every single time you walk on stage, act like there’s 10,000 people there cause even in an audience of 20-30 people there will be a couple of people at these showcases that might be able to help you with your music”.\n\nNoble drove the point home by noting that he saw a band the night before that impressed him so much that he booked them for Bluesfest on the spot!\n\nFestival Programmer Rhoda Roberts (Sydney Opera House, Boomerang Festival, Parrtijima Festival, NOPRA) said that what she looks for when she scouts an act is, “if the first and third songs are different… and excellence and repertoire”.\n\n“If I walk into a gig and I get a visceral sense and reaction, and a vibe from an artist, I’ll book them.”\n\nIt was however stressed that you’ve got to start in your hometown. Orford noted that while he may casually mentor bands, he won’t sign them until they’ve got that “hometown support”.\n\nGraham Ashton (Footstomp Music) made an excellent point that in the age of technology “your commitment to your live show is so much more important than your social media strategy.”\n\nBut perhaps the most important fact that emerging artists should remember when it comes to their development is that you can have all the grand plans in the world but as Orford put it, “someone’s got to do the work”.\n\nAn agent does, according to Orford, “around 147 tasks” for any one gig they organise so you’ve got to do all of those tasks yourself in the beginning so it gives the agent something to work with” as it’s a lot harder to generate momentum from scratch than it is to build upon it.\n\nWhen it came to discussing how to approach booking agents in the industry, Roberts said that she likes you to detail who you are, what you play, how many people are in the band, where she has to fly the band from and what the band’s radio airplay is like.\n\n“Just be totally up front about who you are and don’t embellish! Honesty, hunger, passion and determination count for a lot.”\n\nFor Roberts’ gigs, she considers knowing your audience, having good stage presence and dedication to your craft as most important. Summing up her point perfectly, she said. “The audience are paying big money to be there so respect that and put on a great show.”\n\nClosing out the panel, Peter Noble lamented that every band and person in the industry needs a mentor, noting he listens to other people because he doesn’t have all the ideas.\n\n“I have mentors that I go to because I have some of the dumbest ideas in the world sometimes, but that’s how creative people are.”\n\nYou can still pick up passes to the rest of Australian Music Week through this link here."

"The United States Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday provided its last witnesses and proof in its case versusQualcomm Now it depends on Qualcomm to safeguard itself in the coming days versus claims it’s a monopoly in cordless chips.\n\nThe FTC, assisted by chipmaker Intel and iPhone supplier Apple, submitted fit 2 years back, implicating Qualcomm of requiring clients like Apple to deal with it solely and charging extreme licensing charges for its innovation. The United States thinks Qualcomm has a monopoly on modem chips and hurt competitors by attempting to keep its power. Qualcomm’s “excessive” royalty rates avoided competitors from going into the marketplace, increased the expense of phones and in turn harmed customers, who dealt with greater handset costs, the FTC stated.\n\nQualcomm has actually argued the FTC’s claim is based upon “flawed legal theory.” It’s stated that clients pick its chips due to the fact that they’re the very best which it has actually never ever stopped supplying processors to clients, even when they’re fighting over licenses.\n\nThe trial kicked off Jan. 4 in US District Court in San Jose, California. Testimony covers negotiations and events that occurred before March 2018 and can’t encompass anything after that date.\n\nDuring the first six days of the trial, the FTC presented witnesses from companies like Apple, Samsung and Ericsson and experts from intellectual property consultancies and universities. It even called Qualcomm CEO Steve Mollenkopf. The trial has revealed the inner workings of tech’s most important business — smartphones — showing how suppliers wrestle for dominance and profit.\n\nThe FTC rested its case shortly before 3:30 p.m. PT on Tuesday. The FTC took a quick break during its presentation of witnesses to allow Qualcomm co-founder Irwin Jacobs to testify. Jacobs, who spoke on behalf of Qualcomm, talked up the company’s long history in CDMA mobile technology.\n\nClosing arguments in the trial will take place Feb. 1.\n\n‘No license, no chips’\n\nKey to the FTC’s argument is Qualcomm’s so-called “no license, no chips” policy. Qualcomm sells processors that connect phones to cellular networks, but it also licenses its broad portfolio as a group. For a set fee — based on the selling price of the end device, typically a phone — the manufacturer gets to use all of Qualcomm’s technology. It’s phone makers who pay the licensing fee, not chipmakers.\n\nTo get access to Qualcomm’s chips, which are broadly considered to be on the bleeding edge of wireless innovation, a phone maker first has to sign a patent licensing contract with Qualcomm. Qualcomm has long been the leader in 4G LTE, and it’s ahead of rivals in the nascent 5G market. The highest-end phones, like those from Samsung, have tended to use its modems.\n\nThe FTC has argued the no license, no chips policy gives Qualcomm too much leverage in negotiations and prevents competitors from entering the wireless chip market. Huawei, Intel, Lenovo and others testified during the trial that Qualcomm required them to sign licenses before being able to buy the company’s chips.\n\nAnd Apple, which has been fighting Qualcomm in patent and licensing lawsuits around the globe, sent two executives to testify on behalf of the FTC. Apple believes Qualcomm’s fees are too high; it thinks it should pay a fee based only on the value of Qualcomm’s connectivity chips, not the entire device.\n\nApple, arguably the most powerful company in technology, said it felt it had no options when it came to negotiating over Qualcomm’s licensing fees.\n\nTony Blevins, Apple’s vice president of procurement, on Friday testified that Apple wanted to build an Intel communication chip into its iPad Mini 2, released in fall 2013, but Qualcomm’s hardball business methods crushed the plan. Apple didn’t like relying solely on Qualcomm for modem chips, Blevins said, but in exchange for exclusive use of its chips, Qualcomm offered Apple rebates that reduced costs so they were no longer “exorbitant.”\n\nAnd Apple Operating Chief Jeff Williams on Monday testified that his company felt that it had to sign contracts for amounts it thought too high — a royalty of $7.50 per iPhone — in order to maintain access to Qualcomm’s chips.\n\n“We were staring at an increase of over $1 billion per year in licensing, so we had a gun to our head,” Williams said as he explained why Apple signed another licensing agreement in 2013, despite being unhappy with the terms.\n\nThat’s a very heavy hammer that Qualcomm is bringing down, at least as a threat, in those negotiations.\n\nCarl Shapiro, professor of economics at the University of California in Berkeley\n\nApple wanted to use Qualcomm’s 4G LTE processors in its 2018 iPhones, but the chipmaker wouldn’t sell to it, Williams said. Qualcomm did continue providing Apple with chips for its older iPhones, including the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, but it wouldn’t give Apple chips for last year’s iPhone XS, XS Max and XR, Williams said.\n\n“We have been unable to get them to support us on new design wins past that time [when Apple filed a lawsuit against Qualcomm],” Williams stated. “This has been a challenge.”\n\nWilliams’ remarks appear to oppose statement from Qualcomm’s Mollenkopf fromFriday He stated on the stand that since spring 2018, Qualcomm still was attempting to win an agreement providing chips for iPhones, however that it had not “had any new business” from Apple considering that its previous agreements ended. Because of the trial’s proof date restrictions, he wasn’t permitted to talk about the existing state of Qualcomm’s organization with Apple.\n\nMollenkopf likewise affirmed that Qualcomm’s practices of providing a license prior to offering chips to business is just the very best method to get things provided for the entire market, not simply for his business. That’s due to the fact that Qualcomm’s patent licenses cover lots more innovation a phone may utilize than just what remains in his business’s modem chips, which let phones talk with mobile networks.\n\n“We just offer to business with a license due to the fact that not all the IP [intellectual property] is covered in the chip. What we wish to do is ensure the [phone makers] are covered,” Mollenkopf stated. He indicated the security structure utilized when phones link to a network as an example. “It’s not embodied in the chip, it’s not in the phones, but it’s in all these things,” Mollenkopf stated. “There’s a tremendous amount of IP we generate that makes the system work.”\n\nCarl Shapiro, a teacher of economics at the University of California in Berkeley, took the stand Tuesday to examine the effect of the no license, no chips policy and Qualcomm’s royalty rates on handset makers, chip competitors and customers. He concluded that Qualcomm had monopoly power over CDMA modem chips and over premium LTE modem chips through 2016.\n\n“It’s my view they harmed competition in those two markets,” he stated.\n\n“Qualcomm should be commended for its technological achievements,” Shapiro included. “But…what’s really important is that companies who aren’t quite as good or who don’t have the scale are not impeded from trying to catch and threaten and challenge the leader.”\n\nHe affirmed that Qualcomm is utilizing its market power and its monopoly power over chips to draw out an “unusually high amount” for royalties for patents. That raises the expense for competitors, compromises them as rivals and strengthens Qualcomm’s monopoly power, Shapiro stated.\n\nLosing access to Qualcomm’s modems would enforce expenses on handset makers, consisting of not having the ability to provide to customers.\n\n“That’s a very heavy hammer that Qualcomm is bringing down, at least as a threat, in those negotiations,” Shapiro stated.\n\nMichael J. Lasinski, CEO of IP seeking advice from company 284 Partners, on Monday affirmed that Qualcomm’s licensing charges are “far too high to be consistent with their FRAND operations.” Standard important patents need to be certified in a reasonable, affordable, and non-discriminatory way.\n\nAn Ericsson licensing executive, Christina Petersson, stated in video statement that a reasonable royalty rate for multimode LTE need to be 6 percent to 8 percent per gadget. Lasinski stated he identified it ought to be 6 percent due to the fact that there’s a lot more entering into a phone than when Ericsson developed its rate.\n\nQualcomm’s rates tend to be greater than that quantity. Apple wished to pay $1.50 per gadget in royalties to Qualcomm, based upon a 5 percent charge for the expense of each $30 modem linking iPhones to mobile networks. Instead, it wound up paying $7.50 per phone, a quantity Qualcomm later on wished to raise, Apple’s Williams affirmed.\n\nQualcomm has actually argued that its broad patent portfolio and developments validate its charges. CEO Mollenkopf, who took the stand Friday, protected the business’s licensing practices, stating the method his business offers chips to smart device makers is finest for everyone included.\n\nNASA turns 60: The area company has actually taken humankind further than anybody else, and it has strategies to go even more."

"\"Northern Arizona Univer-sity recognizes his highest attainment of professional achievement by bestowing upon him an honorary doctoral degree,\" President Haeger said, noting that President Shirley was beginning his 38th year of public service.\n\nNext, Liz Grobsmith, provost and vice president for academic affairs, and Regent Ernest Calder—n placed the blue and gold hood over President Shirley's head and President Haeger presented him with his degree. President Shirley also wore a white satin sash from the Native American students of NAU.\n\nIn his remarks, President Shirley said receiving the honorary degree was significant to him and his wife, First Lady Vikki Shirley, an NAU graduate, because their late daughter, Tona Vee Shirley-Paymella, was a 1997 NAU graduate. She was working on her Master1s degree at NAU when she was killed by a drunk driver two days after Thanksgiving Day 2001.\n\nThe President, who holds a master's degree in social work from Arizona State University, told the graduates that a degree from a university can mean independence and standing on one's own feet.\n\n\"If one is independent, one can look any man or woman in the eye,\" he said. \"One does not have to shy away from anyone or anything.\"\n\nHe said that with a college degree, the opportunity to help millions and make the world a better place was within their grasp.\n\nHe said having knowledge means living a fuller and more rewarding life, leading to more laughter and enjoyment.\n\n\"For me, I have found out that time does have wings,\" he said. \"You need to stay focused and continue to accomplish. You already have only 492 months left before you retire from the workforce at age 65, and you have not even found a job yet.\"\n\nAmong the changes are the creation of the DinŽ Department of Education, a Navajo Nation Board of Education and the implementation of Navajo language, culture and history in the curricula on Navajo Nation schools."

"Disney Plus reported the addition of only 2.1 million new subscribers during the fourth quarter of 2021 ending Oct. 2. During the previous quarter, the company added more than 12 million subscribers. Disney Plus currently has 118.1 million total subscribers, an increase of 44.4 million since the same period in 2020.\n\nIn a presentation of the data to stockholders, the company attributed the sluggish numbers to a reduced pipeline of original content, as well as the lingering effects of the pandemic. As the company celebrated Disney Plus’ two-year anniversary, leadership reiterated goals of 230 million to 260 million subscribers by the end of fiscal year 2024.\n\n“We’re extremely pleased with the success of our streaming business, with 179 million total subscriptions across our (direct-to-consumer) portfolio at the end of fiscal 2021 and 60% subscriber growth year-over-year for Disney Plus,” Bob Chapek, chief executive of Disney, said in a statement. “We continue to manage our DTC business for the long-term, and are confident that our high-quality entertainment and expansion into additional markets worldwide will enable us to further grow our streaming platforms globally.”\n\nAs with many of the parent company’s competitors, the company’s earnings showed considerable improvement from 2020, with $18.5 billion in revenue, a 26% improvement year over year. Closures at Walt Disney World in Florida for 117 days and Disneyland for 412 days starting in March 2020 had the most significant impact on the company's year-over-year operating income as the parks reduced operating capacities to prevent Covid outbreaks. Similarly, Universal parent company Comcast reported a $4 billion overall drop for its theme parks in 2020, but in October reported Q3 2021 growth to $1.4 billion year over year, up from $385 million. Revenues for Disney parks, experiences and products increased 99% during that same time to $5.45 billion, and Disney reported a total operating income of $1.59 billion, up more than 100% from October of the previous year.\n\nIn addition to Disney Plus, Disney also owns the streaming services ESPN Plus and Hulu, although Comcast's NBCUniversal holds a minority stake in the latter. ESPN Plus saw a 66% year-over-year gain to 17.1 million subscribers, while Hulu added 7.2 million total new subscriptions between its subscription video on demand (SVOD) members and those who signed up for a live TV and SVOD package."

"Horror films have been a part of American (and international) culture since the very beginning of cinema. In the last 40 years alone, we have seen so many new icons of horror; from Freddy to Jigsaw, and Jason to Pinhead. But are these nightmarish juggernauts also the stuff money is made of? We’ll see, as I present to you the top 10 most financially successful (highest-grossing) horror film franchises (Note: Many of these films are 15+ years old, so the amounts of money shown are in 2007-2011 U.S. dollars, and the amounts of money are only the profits of films (not TV shows, video games, etc.); also, there are some spoilers!):",
null,
null,
"Main Villain(s): John “Jigsaw” Kramer; Jill Tuck; Detective Mark Hoffman; Dr. Lawrence Gordon; Amanda Young; and…well…technically, many of their victims (considering how many of the victims were given a choice as to kill or be killed…if you haven’t seen the film(s), it’s kind of complicated…)\nNumber of Movies, etc.: 10 (including a direct-to-DVD release, the short film the first “Saw” was inspired by, and a fan-made film); 1 video game\nAmount of Money Grossed, to date: $342,510,598 (not counting the fan-made film, short film, direct-to-DVD release, and video game)\nAverage Amount of Money Grossed, per movie: $34,251,059.80\n\nThe most recent horror film franchise in American cinema is also one of the most successful! “Saw” turned horror cinema on its ear, by creating a horror movie icon who doesn’t kill his victims directly, but rather gets them to kill each other! Brilliant!",
null,
"“The Exorcist” is unique, in that the villain of the story actually possesses the heroes/heroines. It is by far one of the most terrifying series of films in history; so terrifying was the original “Exorcist”, that famous Christian Billy Graham claimed that the reels of film themselves were possessed by demons!",
null,
"Main Villain(s): Michael Myers (although, his father was also a villain in the remake, if you think about it…); a creepy old guy who makes killer masks; a satanic cult; the orderlies who raped that poor girl in the remake; the guy who bails Michael out of prison\nNumber of Movies, etc.: 10 films; 1 video game\nAmount of Money Grossed, to date: $307,729,650 (not counting the video game)\nAverage Amount of Money Grossed, per movie: $30,772,965\n\nMichael Myers is one of the oldest–and most recognized–horror movie icons in American history. Whether it was John Carpenter, or a suddenly competent Rob Zombie, “Halloween” has always been the deadliest–and one of the most profitable–of holidays!\n\n5\n“A Nightmare on Elm Street” Series",
null,
"Freddy is one of the most recognizable faces (or lack thereof) in cinema history; he is also one of the most creative, twisting dreams to suit his needs. His terror spread from Elm Street, to Hollywood (“Wes Craven’s New Nightmare”), and then to Crystal Lake. If those numbers are any indication, his reign of terror will continue to be very well funded!",
null,
null,
"While many may say that “Paranormal Activity” is not quite a franchise yet, it has certainly earned the same amount of money as one! These revolutionary films–inspired by classics, such as “Cannibal Holocaust”, “[Rec]”, and “The Blair Witch Project”–have already proven themselves as a contender in the league of horror cinema!",
null,
"Main Villain(s): Well…a house; a doll-house…yes, a doll-house; the people who originally lived in the Amityville house, before the Lutzs; several others (I haven’t seen all of the movies yet)\nNumber of Movies, etc.: 9 films (including 3 original movies, 1 remake, 4 direct-to-video films, and 1 made-for-TV movie)\nAmount of Money Grossed, to date: $170,533,321 (not including the sequels not shown in theaters (.i.e.: the made-for-TV movie)\nAverage Amount of Money Grossed, per movie: $42,633,330.25\n\nThe “Amityville Horror” anthology is one of the most underrated, under-appreciated horror film franchises on this list. Spanning over 30 years, this exercise in terror is truly for the ages!",
null,
"Main Villain(s): Leatherface and his family; some shady organization (from part 4…I really don’t know how to explain them)\nNumber of Movies, etc.: 6 films (including 1 remake and 1 prequel; also, “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation” was released into theaters twice); 1 video game\nAmount of Money Grossed, to date: $164,925,750 (not counting the video game)\nAverage Amount of Money Grossed, per movie: $27,487,625\n\nOne might think that such a classic sequence of horror films would be higher on this list; however, due to financial issues with the first “Massacre”, and the terrible 4th film (which was released a second time to cash in on the new-found fame of Matthew McConaughey and Renee Zellweger), Leatherface will have to settle for 9th place. I sure hope he doesn’t have a bone to pick with me…",
null,
"Ah, the Anti-Christ, born from an evil as old as time. What better horror film icon than one who has been over 10,000 years in the making?"

"More than three years after the dismissal of a wrongful termination lawsuit against Wynn Resorts and former CEO Steve Wynn, the judicial appointment of Wynn’s former counsel played a central role in an appeals hearing on Tuesday involving civil racketeering charges against the company.\n\nA three-judge panel in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit pressed an attorney for a Wynn whistleblower Tuesday on a lawsuit that accuses Wynn of attempting to corrupt the judicial process by exerting improper influence.\n\nThe panel heard oral arguments in a Southern California courthouse approximately one year after a federal judge dismissed a RICO lawsuit filed against Wynn, Wynn Resorts, and several other defendants. Angelica Limcaco, a former salon manager at Wynn Resorts, is the whistleblower in a case surrounding Steve Wynn’s alleged sexual misconduct 17 years ago. Wynn stepped down as CEO of Wynn Resorts in February 2018 amid a series of sexual misconduct allegations. Wynn, 80, has denied all of the allegations.\n\nShortly after the opening of the mogul’s flagship Wynn Las Vegas resort in 2005, the CEO allegedly pressured a manicurist into having sex, according to a 2018 Wall Street Journal report. The manicurist later received a concealed $7.5 million payment from Steve Wynn, a settlement that was confirmed through a Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) investigation. Limcaco’s wrongful termination lawsuit was dismissed in 2019.\n\nWhile an attorney for Limcaco argued Tuesday that Wynn’s former counsel was elevated to the position of federal magistrate in an attempt to influence the decision in the 2019 case, attorneys for Wynn Resorts countered that the plaintiffs failed to prove causation in the allegations.\n\nAttorneys for Limcaco filed the charges under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, which was known colloquially as the “anti-mob” bill when it was signed into law in 1970. RICO cases have had wider implications beyond organized crime in recent decades.\n\nWynn Resorts declined comment on the litigation when reached by US Bets on Tuesday evening.\n\nLimcaco initially filed a lawsuit against Wynn Resorts in Nevada District Court in 2018, alleging wrongful termination and retaliation, among other charges. Elayna Youchah, Wynn’s lead counsel in the case, made all of the filings in the case on Wynn’s behalf until April 2, 2019, according to federal court records. At that point, Youchah had been selected as a magistrate judge in Nevada District Court, replacing retiring longtime magistrate George Foley.\n\nNevada District Judge Miranda Du dismissed Limcaco’s claims against Wynn on April 18, 2019, citing evidence that the statute of limitations had expired. Limcaco, according to the dismissal motion, filed the claims nearly 12 years after her termination. Although the MGC allowed Wynn Resorts to keep its Massachusetts gaming license, the commission fined Wynn Resorts $35 million on April 30, 2019, for failing to disclose sexual misconduct allegations against former CEO Wynn. By that May, the public learned of Youchah’s appointment when she formally replaced Foley on the court.\n\nJordan Matthews, Limcaco’s attorney, also contends that financial contributions made from Wynn Resorts to the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada (LACSN) played a role in the alleged scheme. Barbara Buckley, speaker of the Nevada State Assembly from 2007 through 2011, currently serves as the center’s executive director. Buckley, who was also named as a defendant in the suit, served on a merit selection panel that made recommendations for the replacement of vacancies on the Nevada District Court.\n\nUniversity of Nevada grad, Nevada Assemblywoman (1995-2011), and the first woman Speaker of the Nevada Assembly, Barbara Buckley was born on Nov 23, 1960 in Philadelphia, PA. https://t.co/LoepinTtcO\nNote: Buckley is one of the longest serving Nevada Assemblywomen at 16 years. pic.twitter.com/0Gs1XUbZH8\n\nFollowing the 2019 dismissal, Wynn Resorts sponsored LACSN’s annual awards event in December of that year. Buckley also received campaign donations from Wynn Resorts as early as 2017, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. Kim Sinatra, another defendant named in the lawsuit, was part of a group that donated an additional $250,000 to LACSN on Nov. 8, 2019, the suit alleges. Sinatra, former general counsel of Wynn Resorts, stepped down from her position in July 2018.\n\nThe Wynn defendants intended to use their payments to LACSN to influence Buckley in elevating Youchah to the position of magistrate, the suit alleges. Wynn Resorts made annual payments of $100,000 to the center for a period of several years, Matthews said Tuesday.\n\nAhead of Tuesday’s hearing, Limcaco’s legal team filed a 56-page motion citing evidence it claims provides a “direct causal link” between Wynn Resorts’ efforts to elevate Youchah to the position of a judge and the dismissal of the 2019 case. In July 2022, Wynn Resorts challenged a motion for Youchah’s recusal in Feris v. Wynn Resorts, a separate class action suit against the hotel chain.\n\nThe Ninth Circuit hearing on Tuesday lasted roughly an hour.\n\n“We are pleased that the Ninth Circuit considered our arguments concerning our civil RICO claims. The claims are thoroughly documented and supported by directly related and coinciding investigations and actions by the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission. We will leave the issues to the Ninth Circuit to make a determination,” Matthews wrote in a statement provided to US Bets.\n\nSkepticism from the Ninth Circuit\n\nAt Tuesday’s hearing, several judges on the panel expressed skepticism that the actions rose to corrupt conduct under the RICO Act. U.S. Circuit Judge Bridget S. Bade noted that Wynn Resorts began making contributions to the legal aid center a year before the lawsuit was filed. Even if Buckley made a recommendation that Youchah should be among the five finalists for the magistrate opening, she questioned Matthews on how Judge Du was improperly influenced.\n\nRyan D. Nelson, another judge on the panel, questioned whether Youchah could exert undue influence on the case considering that she never presided over it. Austin Norris, an attorney for Wynn Resorts, responded that the plaintiffs failed to prove causation in part because Youchah did not begin her bench term until August 2019, five months after the case was dismissed.\n\nSeparately, the defendants allegedly withheld information from Limcaco’s claims in a bid to open the Encore Boston Harbor, a $2.6 billion casino project. ML Strategies, a political consulting firm, was also named in the suit stemming from its role in lobbying Massachusetts regulators to approve the license for the casino.\n\nEncore Boston Harbor is planning on using one of two mobile sports betting licenses granted by Massachusetts for WynnBET and has reached a tentative agreement with Caesars Interactive on the other.\n\nThe WynnBet retail sportsbook at Encore Boston Harbor is doing everything a sportsbook does- except take bets – as it awaits final sign-off from Massachusetts regulators, $WYNN officials said today; company is also working to figure out locations for on-property betting kiosks\n\nLimcaco’s attorneys argue that the District Court should have considered numerous public records that were filed over the duration of the case. In addition, attorneys for Limcaco argue that that the District Court should have considered documents related to Elliott Broidy, who pleaded guilty to a violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) in October 2020. In a separate case, a U.S. federal judge ruled in October that Steve Wynn cannot be ordered to register as an agent of China under FARA. The ruling dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice against Wynn five months earlier.\n\nThe timing of when the Ninth Circuit will issue an opinion on the RICO appeal is unclear. The Ninth Circuit does not have a time limit per case, but most cases are decided within a period of three months to a year, according to the court’s website."

"Cubs fans, this isn’t for you.\n\nFor the rest of the universe? Spring means hope.\n\nSure, baby birds are born and flowers bloom, yadda yadda. But it’s about baseball. It’s a time when your team – except for the Cubs and Astros – are still in the thick of the race. Or close enough to pretend.\n\nEven my Rockies find themselves in that no-man’s land of “we don’t suck – right now.” It might be better than that. I’ll let you know July 4. And maybe again in October. Your baseball team not sucking makes you feel good.\n\nSo do James Earl Jones asides about baseball.\n\nBut it’s not all about the ninth-inning rally and the pennant-clinching victory. The lesson is in strapping on your jeans and swinging hard, in case you hit it. Yes, I said jeans. Stick with me here. This is a story about a boy who loves baseball.\n\nBut when he played the game? He took inadequacy to a sub-Cub level.\n\nAnd still, he loves the game.\n\nI was in fourth grade when I saw the ad.\n\nTo become a traveling all-star? A dream come true. For a 9-year-old.\n\nI chased that dream with my K-mart baseball mitt. I wore Toughskin jeans. I carried experience gleaned from a season with a team called the Grapes in the Weld County Park and Rec co-ed Softball league.\n\nMom and dad didn’t recognize my pending stardom. Or they saw the futility and wagered the $1.25 a gallon for gas to take me there in 1980 just wasn’t worth it. So, I rode my bike across town, in sneakers.",
null,
"Oh, speaking of Chicano – I nabbed a permanent marker out of the kitchen junk drawer to try to cover up the huge K in the middle of my K-mart mitt. K-mart was for poor Mexican kids.\n\nI was a lower-middle-class Mexican kid with white friends who’d never let him live it down if he tried out for a travel team with a K-mart baseball mitt.\n\nI mixed in among the spitting, swinging boys, even though they had cleats and baggy baseball pants. I had jeans and sneakers. K-mart sneakers.\n\nI took up a spot in the outfield, and even shagged a couple of fly balls. As a shortstop, though … every ball ate me up. I turned nothing, except for black and blue from balls bouncing off my body. It was OK, though.\n\nMy bat would set me apart.\n\nI knew I could turn on a pitch or two.",
null,
"I swung, and missed. I swung like batters when they faced Steve Carlton in the bigs – large and desperate. Only, this was against a middle-aged man, who lofted batting practice balls. I felt the heat of eyes behind me, sensed the stifled laughs.\n\nI started to foul pitches away, like a big-leaguer wasting a pitcher’s best pitches.\n\nOnly, again … just batting practice. My fouls began to soar over third base, then into left field. My groove. I choked up on the bat, gripped hard, and made even better contact. One, two, three in a row, roped to center field.\n\nI remember it like they scorched their way over the pitcher’s mound, on fire.\n\nThe mightiest of my swings sent the ball on a friendly bounce just beyond second base. But I will always remember it like the hit on The Natural – a monster shot for the ages. I did get a hold of one.",
null,
"Exhausted, I began to miss again. I’d immediately gone into my batting stance after every swing, perhaps afraid I’d lose my groove if I relaxed. The coaches didn’t have the heart to ask me to move on for the next kid to hit.\n\nNo one laughed out loud, but I definitely avoided contact. One coach patted me on the back and said, “good try son. We’ve got your number.”\n\nThey didn’t call, and I didn’t expect them to.\n\nBut, you know what? I did get a hold of one that day.\n\nIt kind of looked like The Natural. Kind of."

"GAINESVILLE, Fla — The University of Florida is ranked No. 2 on Forbes’ 2016 list of Best Value Public Colleges and No. 3 on the magazine’s overall list of best value schools nationwide.\n\n“It is gratifying to see that UF is ranked so highly among peer institutions that are known for their excellence and providing an outstanding return on investment,” UF President Kent Fuchs said. “UF students and alumni also should be pleased to know that their degrees are becoming more valuable all the time.”\n\nForbes staffer Caroline Howard wrote, “This is our newly reimagined Best Value Colleges ranking, an analysis of the brainiest research universities and leading liberal arts schools, both public and private, that are well worth the investment.\n\n“Not only do these colleges have a good reputation,” she wrote, “they’re also a great deal. You’ll walk away with both a degree and some extra money in your pocket.”\n\nLast year, Forbes ranked UF seventh among public schools and 10th overall; however, the magazine this year uses a different methodology that included what Howard described as “much more rigorous metrics” so the two years cannot be compared.\n\nTo create the rankings, Forbes set out to find out what schools are worth the investment. Forbes partnered with the Center for College Affordability and Productivity, which gathered data from a variety of sources. The five general categories and weights are:\n\nDrop-out risk (15%): Based not on retention rates but rather the percentage of students who do not graduate in six years.\n\nGraduation success (15%): The average expected number of years it takes to graduate — of those who do graduate within six years.\n\nPost-graduate earnings (25%): Forbes uses its own model of mid-career earnings (meaning at least 10 years of working), based both on PayScale and the new U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard.\n\nValue-added (10%): Last year Brookings created a ranking system of its own, “A Value-Added Approach To Assessing Two- And Four-Year Schools.” That list is described as “an attempt to isolate the effect colleges themselves have on those outcomes [like salaries], above and beyond what students’ backgrounds would predict.”"

"American Prisoners have shown a great rate of conversion to Islam. There are various reasons why most of them are converting to Islam.\n\nAmerica is the superpower of the world and against the Islam but still, Islam’s growth in American prisoners are particularly accelerating. About 80% of Americans who convert to a religion while in prison become Muslims. The conversion rate is especially high among African-American inmates.\n\nWhen Barak Obama was the president of America whose father was Muslims, Islamic gatherings, including Muslim Brotherhood’s Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), infiltrated the most abnormal amounts of the U.S. government.\n\nThere are some reasons which someone can conclude about this topic.\n\n1) Islam brought American Prisoners a sense of hope, for a new beginning.\n\nAs we all know Islam is the religion of peace and when there is peace there will be hope that everything will be fine one day. Inmates want to believe in this hope that’s why they accept Islam.\n\n2) It gives them direction.\n\nIslam gave them a direction of hoping that sun will again shine in their lives. Because Allah like the Act of forgiveness and kindness so in this hope they attract toward Islam.\n\n3) The message of impartiality.\n\nIslam is based on the concept of equality. As Mohammad(PBUH) said in his Last sermon:\n\nSo, because of it, they are inspired by Islam and accept Islam.\n\nIslam is the religion of kindness and accepts all the human. Islam doesn’t differentiate people by their color, cast, and appearance. So, when they see that Muslims treated everyone equally they feel pleased and want to know more about Islam. By seeing all these they preferred to convert to Islam.\n\nThis is the beauty and the attraction of Islam that speaks itself and attracts the American and many other Inmates to accept Islam.",

"The Royal College of Physicians in London, which celebrates its 500th anniversary later this year, is currently staging a small exhibition devoted to one of its most celebrated former Fellows. William Harvey was a prominent member of the College in the 17th century, when he was also personal physician to Charles I. In 1628 he published De Motu Cordis, documenting his discovery of the circulation of the blood, an insight that revolutionised our understanding of the human body.\n\nI’ve written a short article for The Times Literary Supplement about the exhibition, Harvey and his whalebone pointing-stick, one of his few surviving personal possessions.

"Galvanized iron silo at Hapur, constructed in 1955, you can see the characteristic tiling of the GI plates which were cast in the US and shipped to India for assembly. It stores 10,000 metric tons, and is still functional. Image from the Photo Division of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India, 1958.\n\nThis post underscores how the seemingly straightforward and yet iconic American silo evolved into a different kind of storage infrastructure when it encountered India’s histories and geographies of wheat. The American grain elevator – a specific kind of silo – holds a singular place in the history of architectural modernism. European modernists saw it as a formal and structural response to the United States’ growing outputs of grain across the nineteenth century. As a figure of the American capacity to innovate, the American grain silo offered European architects a model for how industrial form could influence architectural thought, finding ground in the dictum: form follows function.[1] The silo was a manifestation of industrial scales of grain storage. But since the US gifted India its first silo, this infrastructural figure of storage has had a different legacy in India’s political economy of wheat. In the decades following that country’s independence, storage came to be necessary to maintain a buffer stock – a quantity of wheat in reserve that would allow it to correct imbalances in the market price of the grain. Thus, silos formed crucial nodes in the management and distribution infrastructure of the state in the years after independence.\n\nThis post looks at storage infrastructure’s biopolitical nature, where the Indian state hoped to manage the life of wheat, to hold it in stasis—pausing its cycle of growth through technological and chemical control—so as to correct for errors in a possibly unstable future wheat market. The silo acted as a quantitative architecture: a calculable infrastructure deployed against the incalculability of weather and hoarding, absorbing surpluses and augmenting shortages to manipulate the market in wheat. In India the silo became infrastructure, a system whose material form allowed for exchange, not just across space, but also across time. Wheat from the present addressed unforeseen shortages in the future, while current markets could be insulated from foreseeable future gluts.\n\nThe government’s obsession with storage had its roots in the Bengal Famine of 1943. A robust buffer stock, they believed, could prevent the kind of crisis that decimated the Bengali countryside during that time, where rice-hoarding saw prices spiral, causing peasants to lose what Amartya Sen famously called “exchange entitlements,” that is, the capacity to exchange their labor for rice.[2] The failure of the World War 2-focused government to control distortions in the marketplace led to the famine in which between one and four million people are estimated to have died. This characteristic of the market to dissemble itself so as to dissimulate a scarcity, even when grain was present, worried the state and they fixated upon buffer stocks that they hoped could prevent false shortages.\n\nEarly attempts to create this buffer stock failed, as the indigent country struggled to meet production targets, supplementing shortages with American grain. The United States, facing gluts in its agricultural sector, instituted Public Law 480, a Food for Peace program that doubled aid budgets for use as a tool of diplomacy in their Cold War arsenal enabling them to influence the third world against the second. The shiploads of wheat arriving at the ports of Bombay and Calcutta distorted networks of movement and storage forcing India to move grain from urban ports to temporary points of storage in the countryside before it could be redistributed into cities, rather than the other way around. Aware of the strain on India to manage an ancillary supply route of wheat, the US gifted India a number of prefabricated storage structures, two of which were iconic silos made of galvanized iron.\n\nAlthough the resulting storage had great potential, the gifted silo mostly functioned as a symbolic object; bureaucrats debated its actual necessity given that its capacity of 10,000 tons only held a fraction of the 1.5 million tons of imported grain circulated per year. They relegated it to Hapur, a town east of New Delhi that was arguably a waning center of agricultural production. Constructing this behemoth was its own complication for the Ministry of Food and Agriculture: cement for the foundations had to be sourced from outside the state’s quota, and American experts had to be hosted on its storage department’s dime, and ferried to and from the site on continually delayed schedules. This early attempt at storage all but failed to influence the political economy of wheat that it so hoped to do, yet its image circulated across the country, and came to represent India’s burgeoning infrastructural modernity.\n\nIt was only in the late 1960s, as grain became more abundant in the wake of institutional changes around the Green Revolution, that silo building accelerated, helping create a robust distributed network of storage, while giving the government a chance to establish their buffer stock. Silo and warehouse construction grew substantially under the new Food Corporation of India (FCI), an executive arm of the Ministry, housing the engineers, economists, and planners who calculate and manage interruptions and flows in movement of grain.\n\nIn these new conditions silo storage emerged as instrumental to the managerial state, the arresting of the life of wheat grains, allowing them neither growth nor decay, as an infrastructure for delayed consumption, a biopolitics forged from interrupting the flow of grain, biologically, chemically and economically, so as to precisely unleash it into a future economy as a corrective to markets that favored traders over the producers and consumers of grain. Through the silo the FCI manifested the calculable state, managing the wheat market by carefully balancing minimum support prices with predicted total outputs every year through a price committee. This bureaucracy of information was deployed through a series of government bodies at the central and state levels, each instituted to gather and disseminate either information or grain to support the Ministry of Food and Agriculture. This second iteration of storage construction involved loans from the World Bank, and concrete silos in lieu of iron ones – a response to the growing power of the cement industry in the country. The cylindrical shape of the concrete silo lent itself to slip-form, a much publicized technique where concreting was performed in one continuous stretch, slipping the formwork upwards, using the set concrete below for support.\n\nYet, managing silos was cumbersome, requiring huge capital outlays and skilled workers to both construct and administer them. Thus, as temporary storage, the corporation developed the cover and plinth (CAP) system as an ‘indigenously invented’ counter to silos. CAP was low in capital investment, requiring a large but relatively unskilled, labor force. The form manifested the horizontal expanse of storage, against the vertical stacking of the silo. The plinth with its Low Density Polyethylene covers hardly seems to embody the modernity of the silo, whose perfect combination of form and function, of massing and material, seemed emblematic of the new industrial American agricultural economy. CAP, on the other hand seems low tech, but it is not. The polyethylene sheets were the product of the new plastics economies, holding in chemical insecticides, while keeping out moisture. CAP is always in the process of being phased out, a relic of the celebrated moment when production grew faster than storage, while steel silos are being constructed as rapid rates through public private partnerships. While the silo offered a certain optic of modernity, it was the cover and plinth that allowed the state to accelerate into its modernity, in its infrastructurally inflected political economy of wheat.\n\n[1] Walter Gropius published images of grain elevators in his 1913 article on industrial iconography, and Le Corbusier borrowed Gropius’s images for his exegesis on mass in his 1923 Vers Une Architecture (Towards an Architecture). However, it was not until Erich Mendelsohn’s visit to the United States in the 1924, that any European modernist had actually seen a grain elevator. The visit culminated in his picture book Amerika that simultaneously celebrated and eviscerated the American landscape as grotesque and primitive. Mendelsohn described the grain elevators of Chicago and Buffalo as delirium transformed to boldness and confusion to harmony, embodying an “expressiveness that corresponds to world consumption.” See Brown, William J. American Colossus: The Grain Elevator, 1843 to 1943. 1st edition. Colossal Books, 2015.\n\nAteya Khorakiwala is a PhD candidate in the department of Architecture, Landscape, and Urban Planning at Harvard University. Her work looks at the cultural and infrastructural projects embedded in India’s biopolitical revolution to augment food production in the 1950s and 60s. Earlier work has looked at road construction research in India in the 1960s and violence in photography in 1857. Her research has previously been supported by the American Institute of Indian Studies. She holds a BArch from KRVIA, Mumbai, and an MSc in Architecture Studies from the History, Theory, and Criticism of Architecture and Art program at MIT.\n\nThis post is part of our thematic series: The Nature of Infrastructure."

"The Trump administration is reportedly entering some questionable legal ground just a few weeks after the Supreme Court blocked the White House's attempt to strike down DACA.\n\nThat's the program that shields from deportation roughly 650,000 undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. at a young age.\n\n\"I don't think the Supreme Court could have been more clear,\" said Ur Jaddou.\n\nUr Jaddou was the top lawyer at the agency that oversees legal immigration during most of President Obama's second term. She says the Trump administration is clearly violating the Constitution.\n\n\"You have to return to the moment where DACA was not rescinded. And that means initial applications and renewal applications, both must be processed.\"\n\nVirtually every analyst says the government must now offer the deportation protection to anyone who qualifies under the original terms of the Obama-era program. But the administration appears to be defying the Supreme Court's order — now a mandate — by rejecting new DACA applications and only processing renewals.\n\n\"I find that appalling that any government would do that and defy one of the branches of government in our Constitution,\" Jaddou says.\n\nOn Friday, a federal judge confirmed that the government needs to restore the DACA program in full. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which administers the program, tells Newsy it has rejected some first-time DACA requests in the past couple weeks because of errors in their applications.\n\nNewsy was unable to verify the validity of that claim, and the agency did not clarify if they are now officially accepting new applicants.\n\nBesides potentially defying the country's highest court, the administration is also denying immigration benefits to around 300,000 people who don't have DACA protections yet but are eligible. That includes Andrea Anaya.\n\n\"I felt, like, just really down, because I didn't have protection, I couldn't get a license since I couldn't work. I couldn't do anything,\" said Anaya.\n\nAnaya moved to the U.S. from El Salvador with her mother when she was 5. She turned 15 — the minimum age to qualify for DACA — right when President Donald Trump rescinded the program in 2017, and she missed out on the protection as a result.\n\nPresident Trump recently announced he would soon be \"taking care of DACA\" and give recipients \"a road to citizenship.\" But only Congress has the power to legalize \"Dreamers.\" And bipartisan efforts to do so have failed multiple times in the past — sometimes due to the president himself walking away from negotiations."

"Why Are Black Panthers Black?\n\nThe black panther is distinguished for its all-black coat, long tail, and strong white whiskers.\n\nIt is a rare mammal that belongs to the genus Panthera and the family Felidae – which also includes cheetahs, cats, tigers, lions, and leopards.\n\nThere are about only 36 species left in the cat family, which goes to show that this family of Carnivora is at risk of extinction. This fact alone should make you appreciate these marvelous creatures even more. These gorgeous black cats embody mystery through their manners and spike everyone’s curiosity and fear.\n\nWith so much interest and intrigue surrounding these large black cats, it is often wondered – “why are black panthers black?” To save you from having to do a bit of tedious research, we have composed this blog post where we have talked about why black panthers are black. Additionally, we have also discussed some other useful information regarding black panthers that will help you know more about this mystifying creature.\n\nWhat Are Black Panthers?\n\nIn the past, when dark-colored tigers or jaguars were spotted, people assumed that maybe these were a new species. As a result, they were scientifically named “black panthers.” However, through meticulous research, it was discovered that these beasts were just a dark version of the more well-known cat species!\n\nWhy Do Black Panthers Have a Black Coat?\n\nThe appearance of a black coat is due to recessive/dominant alleles in the bodies of leopards, jaguars, and other cat family members. What are alleles? Also known as an allelomorph, an allele is a distinctive form of a gene that produces a black pigment in the animal. Each member has varying amounts of black pigments that affect the tone of their coat.\n\nCat species that have this form of mutation are known as melanistic. Melanism in the leopard is present because of dominant alleles, while in the jaguar, it is present due to recessive alleles. Even though melanism is also a trait of other cat species, it is excessively found in leopards and jaguars.\n\nHowever, the appearance of a black body can be due to other reasons as well, such as the panther’s life stage or the concentration of light. For instance, some species of leopard or jaguar may display dark coats because they may be present in diffused light. However, in proper sunlight, their body may display the typical black and gold spot pattern.\n\nAlso, black or near-black coats may be because of the preservation of black spots from the juvenile phase. As the animal grows older, it may develop a concentration greater concentration of dark fur that may result in a full or partial vivid black coat. The lynx – a solitary cat – may also display black fur – not because of light or melanism, but rather, due to changing seasons.\n\nA pair of black jaguars/leopards, due to the presence of the melanism gene in them, can produce either black or spotted cubs. However, a pair of spotted jaguars or leopards can only give birth to spotted cubs. According to scientists, melanism only affects about 6% of the panther population. The opposite of melanism is albinism, which is a much rarer genetic anomaly, causing the big cats to turn full-white. Albinism poses a huge disadvantage to leopards and jaguars as they can’t camouflage themselves completely in the day or night.\n\nDue to their bright color, it is super easy to hunt these cats down, and due to this, they have become extinct over time. However, this is not the case with black panthers. Black panthers can easily hide in thick bushes or the shadows of the forest. This also enables them to become excellent hunters.\n\nWhere Can You Locate Black Panthers?\n\nMost of these species are found in South India. These large cats like to reside in dense forests where the light levels are fairly low. They are typically found in the rainforests of Kerala, Assam, and wildlife sanctuaries in Karnataka – the Kabini Wildlife Sanctuary and the Anshi-Dandeli Tiger Reserve are home to black panthers.\n\nBesides India, black panthers can be spotted in Africa and Central and South America. It is largely believed that a melanistic mountain lion can be found in the United States. However, there haven’t been any confirmed sightings that can prove the existence of such an animal in this country.\n\nEven though black panthers are adaptable to different climates and environments, they are endangered. Human beings are the biggest threat to the population of black panthers. Hunters have killed them for fun and adventure and their thick, precious fur. On the other hand, farmers have either trapped or killed them to protect their animals, as well as the people who work on the farm.\n\nThe deterioration of forests and habitat loss are other major threats to the survival of black panthers. The deposits of mercury and other harmful chemicals in and around their habitats have also caused the population of black panthers to shrink drastically.\n\nBlack panthers are solitary creatures that like to hunt alone and hide in the shadows. They are sneaky and sly, and because of these character traits, they are often regarded as “the ghost of the forest.” While some may think that these are a separate species, they aren’t. Black panthers are just dark variants of leopards and jaguars."

"The government of the United Kingdom has just announced details of its proposed legislation concerning marriage between two people of the same gender. The surprising and horrible news is that the Church of England and the Church in Wales will be completely banned from conducting same gender weddings even if they decide they want to. The government will also be changing existing equality legislation to make sure that religious groups cannot be taken to court for not allowing same gender marriages and individual ministers of religion will not be able to marry same gender couples unless the organisation they belong to agrees, as a whole, to conduct such marriages.\n\nBasically, it is probably the biggest cock-up the Conservative Party has ever put before Parliament. It's a complete shambles with so many inconsistencies that lawyers, from both the for and against camps, will have a well-paid field day knocking holes in it.\n\nThere is going to be a battle over this. The good guys may well be firing their first salvo this evening. I will keep you informed.",

"In August we wrote about the alarming surge in home burglaries occurring in some areas across the United States, particularly in suburban areas surrounding major cities. The numbers are staggering and residents in many areas are now sounding the alarm about the increasing rate.\n\nIn San Francisco, burglaries are up 42% in the first 9 months of this year, compared to the same time period in 2019. In the Northern District, which includes Pacific Heights, the Marina, North Beach, and Cow Hollow, it’s up 59%. In the Mission, 79% and in the Richmond up 50%. Burglaries are also on the rise in New York, up 26% year-to-date as compared to the same period in 2019.\n\nRegional police services have recently announced that the number of home invasions and automotive thefts has significantly increased recently, over that seen in previous years. The latest statistics show that a burglary occurs approximately once every 23 seconds in North America and on average, most victims lose between $2,000-$4,000 worth of precious goods.\n\nIn Late August, three people were charged in connection with a pair of home invasions in Wheaton, IL and Lombard that DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin called “shockingly violent.” In one instance, the trio was accused of breaking into a home and shooting a resident, on other occasions the trio attempted to rape young girls living at the residences they broke into.\n\nMalik Pitts, 22, of Broadview, Isaiah Johnson, 21, of Blue Island, and Keytori Jackson, 22, of Broadview, were charged with attempted murder, home invasion and aggravated battery in connection with the Aug. 23 incidents in the mostly white suburban areas of Lombard and Wheaton.\n\nPitts was accused of going into a girl’s room and attempting to pull off her blankets and clothes. The girls’ grandmother intervened, police say, and Pitts is accused of hitting the woman in her left ear, neck and cheek. The girl’s father then fought Pitts, police say, before Pitts fled in a car that Jackson is accused of having stolen. In another instance, Pitts ordered a mother and her daughter from an upstairs bedroom and demanded that the daughter undress. Police say the daughter refused and fled.\n\nIn Ohio more recently, another more tragic incident occurred on September 21st. A four-year-old White Ohio boy was shot dead after a shooting during a home invasion that left multiple people seriously injured and four-year-old Rowan Sweeney “tragically” dead in his mother’s arms. According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, none of the people in the home knew the suspected gunman.\n\nSweeney’s mother Alexis Schneider, 22 and friends of the family — Cassandra Mariscola, 20; Yarnell Green, 20; and Andre McCoy, 20 — were seriously injured and transported to an area hospital for treatment.\n\nBoth Schneider and Cassandra Marsicola, 20, were hospitalized in stable condition after being shot in the legs.\n\nThe suspect ran away from the home on foot. Police said the surviving victims told them they did not know the gunman.\n\nOn the 911 recordings, Marsicola is telling dispatchers that “all of us have been shot.” She described the suspect as a light-skinned black male.\n\nNeighbors reported hearing five to eight gunshots which took the life of four-year-old Rowan, who police also say died in his mother’s arms.\n\nPolice described the suspect as a thin, black man who was last seen wearing a black jacket.\n\nAccording to the chief, investigators have several ‘good’ leads they are following at this time.",

"The Republic of Cyprus announced unexpectedly on Tuesday that the current Citizenship by Investment Programme would be abolished, following an emergency Cabinet meeting a day after Al Jazeera published a secret video alleging corruption in the island’s golden passport scheme.\n\nAccording to government spokesperson Kyriacos Koushos, who spoke after an emergency Cabinet meeting on Tuesday morning at the Presidential Palace, the administration had decided to suspend the Citizenship by Investment Programme in its current form starting November 1.\n\nKoushos said the decision was based on proposals by Interior Minister Nicos Nouris and Finance Minister Constantinos Petrides, who also served as interior minister previously, while reports said the Cabinet meeting was very short and to the point.\n\nKoushos said the establishment of a new passport scheme would be examined following the completion of an ongoing probe.\n\nAfter the probe findings, the spokesperson said, the administration will examine a new policy to encourage foreign investment on the island in a “comprehensive manner.\""

"I am finally cracking into a book that I have had on my list for awhile now. I saw her name on the social media of a few of the people I follow and it caught my attention. What increased my interest was a book she wrote called Dakota. For the first seven years of our marriage we called North Dakota our home. I told people we would never leave. I was going to die there (as an old woman). We loved our home and the lives we had there. As much as we loved it out in the wild wild west of the Dakotas both of our extended families were not there. With so much traveling taking place and a request to have my husband come and interview near his ‘hometown’ we started looking for homes and other possible jobs. It was time for us to leave ND.\n\nAll of that has very little do to with the rest of this post but it is the reason this author made it on my radar. We had just moved away from a place that I loved and I found a book about that place by an author I had seen positive reviews and commentary on. Funny thing is I haven’t even read that one yet! I did pick up The Cloister Walk by Kathleen Norris from the library earlier this week though. I am not far into it but by the second paragraph of the preface I was hooked.\n\nKathleen Norris goes and lives and abides under the Rule of a Benedict monastery. The Cloister Walk is her story of those three years. In that second paragraph she writes\n\nThe word “oblate” is from the Latin for “to offer” and Jesus himself is often refereed to as an “oblation” in the literature of the early church. The ancient word “oblate” proved instructive for me. Having no idea what it meant, I appreciated it’s rich history when I first looked it up in the dictionary. But I also felt it presumptuous to claim to be an “offering” and was extremely reluctant to apply to myself a word that had so often been applied to Jesus Christ. The monk who was my oblate director, guiding my studies of the Rule (a period that was suppose to last a year but rambled on for nearly three), waited patiently for me to sort out my muddle. Finally I said to him “I can’t imagine why God would want me, of all people, as an offering. But if God is foolish enough to take me as I am, I guess I’d better do it.” The monk smiled broadly and said “You’re ready.”\n\nThe monk is right. Her humility is in the right place.\n\n(Also I can relate to the notion of something that was scheduled to last a year lasting for 3.)",

"We can not know or understand all the ways that our God works.\n\nRight after Paul speaks about how great the understanding of God is. After he speaks about how deep and rich the wisdom of God is he encourages us to not reject God using us as living sacrifices. We can be sure that the wisdom and the knowledge of God is greater than we can imagine. Therefore we are not to reject being used by God. No matter how far fetched it may sound to us. No matter how unworthy we may think we are. No matter how worthy we think we are the reality is we are not BUT God loves us and uses us in spite of that.",

"At a time when the world economy is in a downturn, there has been an amazing amount of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) this year. The social media site Facebook had its IPO on May 18, which was the largest ever for an Internet corporation: $104 billion was made at its peak market capitalization and was the largest IPO of the year. Felda Global Ventures Holdings was the second largest IPO this year, a palm oil company from Malaysia.\n\nIt is the second largest hospital operator in the world by market value, behind United States operator HCA Holdings. Managing director of IHH Dr. Lim Cheok Peng attributes some of the success of the company to its focus on international patients.\n\n\nThe IPO of RM6.3 billion ($2 billion) at RM2.80 (roughly $0.89) per share is the third largest IPO this year. JF Apex Securities estimated the fair value of the company at 3.00RM ($0.94) per share, and ECM Libra has a hold call on IHH stock at RM2.94 per share. This is attributed to its focus on international patients who bring in a lot of money for the corporation.\n\n\nPeng reports that 38 percent of IHH Healthcare is from Turkey, 36 percent from Singapore and 25 percent from Malaysia. He points out that being in eight separate countries mitigates the risk the firm faces, which further increases the attractiveness of investing in the company.\n\nThe company does not go only to other countries to diversify its holdings, but in these other counties it is a powerhouse, with 43.9 percent of market share on Singapore in FY11, according to JF Apex Securities. In Malaysia it has 15.1 percent market share and 5.2 percent in Turkey.\n\n\nIn Malaysia, 5 percent of patient volume is foreign and 6 percent is from Turkey, with 10 percent of total revenue each. The bulk of patients in all of these locations was from Indonesia. Patients from Libya, Iraq and the Balkans are on the rise as well.\n\n\nThe company’s shares went public on Wednesday, July 25. Even amid weak economic times, the IPO did well in Malaysian and Singaporean markets. The offers opened simultaneously in both markets at 9.6 percent premium over the offer price of RM2.80.\n\nThe shares reached a high of RM3.19 but ended the day at RM3.09. In Singapore the stocks rose to S$1.245 and ended at S$1.225. Almost 309.3 million shares were traded, making it the most active firm that day. IHH raised an estimated $2 billion through the IPO, according to the Wall Street Journal.\n\n\nIHH Healthcare has realized the benefits that medical tourism can have for a healthcare group. International patients bring in more money to hospitals, and when spread out over multiple regions or counties, they can help keep the corporation stable and attractive to investors.\n\nThe foreign patients also boost the economy of the surrounding area, as they don’t just stay in the hospital; they spend money in the restaurants, shops and hotels. The international patients are a large boon to the company’s business.\n\nThe money they bring in does not only line the pockets of the investors and board of directors, but it also goes back to the system so the hospitals IHH oversees can offer the services they give to the foreign patients and to their domestic patients as well.\n\nThe international patient model allows IHH to raise the total level of healthcare in whichever area they are in.\n\n\nThis IPO shows the benefits that medical tourism can bring. It benefits everyone involved. The patients get the healthcare they want at a price they can afford, the locals get added business and improved healthcare facilities, the hospitals get more money and better equipment, and the investors get sound investment in a company that will continue to grow.\n\nThe added benefit of this is that all of this is happening in multiple countries simultaneously. In a time when the entire world economy is struggling, medical tourism is a creative way to spur much needed growth.\n"

"As the on-going jailbreak in the country continues, some inmates at the Okere Prison in Warri South council area of Delta State have escaped despite shootings by security operatives.\n\nFlames and thick smoke are also emanating from the premises, fuelling fear among residents, most of whom have locked shops and scampered for safety.\n\nThe Nation online had reported a scare across the Warri metropolis following rampaging youths reportedly bearing cutlasses and tyres.\n\nThe cause of the fire is not clear, but confirmed reports claim that the thick smoke coming out of the premises of the correctional centre is as a result of the burning of tyres.\n\nIt was learnt that the shootings were to scare hoodlums planning the jail break, away.\n\nResidents of Okere Road where the prison is located are panicking over the possible replication of the incidents in Edo, Lagos and other states.\n\nSporadic shootings followed afterwards, forcing the hoodlums to retreat, even as a voice is heard saying “oya, na house o”.\n\nAnother video clip shows at least seven persons come out of the prison to heavy cheering of the cutlass-wielding youths.\n\nYet another video depicts dozens of youths suspected to have initially escaped, made to seat on the ground in front of the prison gate by heavily armed security operatives.\n\nConfirming the escape, the State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Onome Onovwakpoyeya, said the prisoners had been protesting, prior to the jail break.\n\n“He said some of them were able to escape, I don’t know the number for now. He said they pushed the gate from inside, I don’t know how because on our part, we fortified the place from the outside.”\n\nPosted by makarella at 6:58 PM"

"Flames Post-Game: Grinding out a point in Nashville",
null,
"By Ryan Pike\n9 months ago\nThe Calgary Flames headed to scenic Nashville on Tuesday night to (a) face the Predators and (b) play the 10th and final rescheduled COVID postponement game of their season. In a really tight-checking battle, the Flames got off to a slow start but managed to build their game.\nIn a really tight-checking, playoff style game, the Flames lost 3-2 to the Predators in a shootout.\n\nNeither team scored in the opening period, but it was really intense, tight-checking, and well-played by both sides. The Flames were the second-best team, but they weren’t bad necessarily. Shots were 9-5 Predators (9-5 Predators at five-on-five) and scoring chances 10-2 Predators in the first period.\nIn the second period, Nashville broke the 0-0 tie. With Nikita Zadorov in the penalty box, the Flames got a scoring chance off the rush. But the Predators disrupted that chance and their power play unit headed the other way. Ryan Johansen fed Filip Forsberg and Forsberg blasted a one-timer past Daniel Vladar to give the home team a 1-0 lead.\nThe Predators doubled their lead midway through the second period off the rush. Forsberg’s initial chance was stopped by a sprawling Vladar, but the rebound bounced around. A falling Matt Duchene whacked at it, and the puck went off his stick, off Chris Tanev, and into the net to make it 2-0 Predators.\nBut the Flames got on the board before the period ended. Rasmus Andersson drew a penalty in the neutral zone. The Flames power play needed nine seconds to score on the resulting advantage. Johnny Gaudreau’s shot ricocheted in the net-front area, bonking off Matthew Tkachuk and bouncing to Andrew Mangiapane, who jammed the puck past Juuse Saros to cut Nashville’s lead to 2-1.\nShots were 10-7 Predators (7-5 Predators at five-on-five) and scoring chances 7-5 Flames in the second period.\nThe Flames tied the game midway through the third period. Tyler Toffoli had a nice scoring chance off the rush, but his stick exploded. Mangiapane took advantage of the confusion, collected the errant puck, and beat Saros to tie the game at 2-2.\nBoth teams had good looks in the remainder of regulation, but neither team could score. Shots were 7-7 (7-5 Predators at five-on-five) and scoring chances 7-5 Predators in the third period.\nThis game needed extra time to be decided. The overtime period was excellent, with both netminders making really nice stops on really dangerous chances. The Flames were called for too many men with just over a minute left in overtime, but the Flames managed to kill off the penalty. Shots were 3-2 Predators in overtime.\nThis game also needed a shootout to be decided. Mikael Granlund scored for the Predators and none of the Flames shooters (Gaudreau, Tkachuk or Toffoli) could score and the Predators won 3-2.\n\nThe Flames looked like a team that has played a lot of hockey at different points in this game. That is to say: they looked tired at points, and their execution definitely suffered at different spots in this game because of that.\nBut y’know who didn’t look tired? Their goaltender. Vladar’s strong play throughout this game both allowed his team to build their game as things wore on and held them in during portions where they had lulls. This was a scheduled loss, but the Flames got a point because their backup goaltender was superb.\n\nAgain, it’s gotta be Vladar. But Mangiapane had a pair of goals and deserves a lot of credit for going to where goal-scorers tend to be: the front of the net.\nHere’s a representative example of Vladar’s fine work.\n\nThe Flames’ power play goal late in the second period was, in retrospect, quite large, as it sent them to the locker room down just a single goal.\n\nLinesman Mark Shewchyk took a puck off the wrist midway through the third period. He was in a ton of pain, but stuck around for the remainder of the game.\nTkachuk’s assist on Mangiapane’s first goal was his 99th point of his career, surpassing his dad’s single-season high.\n\nThe Flames (47-20-10) are headed home. They’re off on Wednesday, then host the Dallas Stars on Thursday night.\nThe Flames have clinched a playoff spot. They’re guaranteed to finish (at least) second in the Pacific Division. Their magic number to clinch the Pacific Division crown is 1.0: any combination of Flames wins and Oilers losses totalling 1 or more clinch a division title for the Flames."

"The recent burkini ban in France, and today’s announcement by Angela Merkel to support a partial ban on the burqa and niqab in Germany, are not the first instances of state efforts to influence the public to behave in a highly discriminatory manner. The burkini ban, which has since been overturned by the French Supreme Court, came as a shock to many throughout the world. How can a state have such a heavy hand in dictating something as personal as what a woman wears?\n\nThis is an extreme example of social management. It is, however, certainly not the only example of how states manage their societies. Social management is all around us, affecting how societies behave, and how they conform to certain notions and patterns.\n\nNormally, public opinion influences public policy, informing and dictating it. This is something that almost everyone agrees on; and they would be right. But it is not always the case. In fact public policy can, and has, changed public opinion for decades, since the conception of the modern notion of the state. This is what we can understand as social management. Evidence of this management is spread throughout the world, and is not just reserved to blatant propaganda: it can be just as effective when used in the form of more subtle bureaucratic tools. These tools are often subscribed to, but rarely questioned.\n\nCreating the new norms of discrimination\n\nA form of social management that has been disturbingly successful, and therefore informative to examine, is the recent history of the Irish Traveller community in Ireland. Nomadism is an ancient way of life celebrated by over 20 million people around the world. Yet nomads, such as Irish Travellers, Roma, and Kochi People, are often problematised and ostracised in modern societies.\n\nThe modern state clearly has an issue with nomadic culture, but why? Scholars are mainly in agreement that states have a grievance with nomadic culture because it makes folly of the tools of the state; national borders, passports, and taxes, are controllable and understandable (and therefore manageable) demographics within a population.\n\nUntil the 1950s, Irish Travellers remained a vital heart for the agricultural industry throughout Ireland. However the same decade saw the significant modernisation and mechanisation of farming. This is said to have crippled the Irish Traveller economy, leaving them without regular work in rural areas, and forcing movement to urban centres. Ultimately this left their communities more dependent on the Irish State. And so began the process of delegitimisation of Traveller culture.\n\nIt did not take the State long to establish a commission to investigate Irish Traveller life. The Commission on Itineracy is one of the first official reports, compiled in 1963 into the social needs of Irish Travellers. The commission, not only commonly used offensive language, but overtly promoted the idea that Traveller nomadism was a problematic issue for modern society, and assimilation into wider society was the only way to solve, what they called the ’Traveller problem.’\n\nThroughout the next thirty years, through the tools of bureaucracy and social management, a system of delegitimisation would ensue. The 1995 Report of the Task Force on the Travelling Community, and the 1998 Housing Act that would spring from it, would prove to be the most devastating blow to Traveller culture in the history of the State. Despite the positive intentions of this report and its apparent support for the Traveller way of life, it evokes a promotion of a ‘weak multiculturalism’, allowing the assimilation of Travellers through housing to continue.\n\nThe Housing Act would ban Travellers from residing anywhere outside of ‘designated zones.’ This Act is entirely aimed at tackling the artificially generated problem of Irish Travellers, and has essentially made nomadism in Ireland illegal, a move that was met with support from the wider community in Ireland at the time, and to this day has not sparked any outrage from wider society. Anti-Traveller prejudice has been described by Martin Collins, co-director of the Pavee Point Travellers’ Centre in 2013 as ‘pervasive and deep-rooted.’\n\nAnti-Traveller sentiment is widespread in Ireland of today. In recent years reports of Irish Travellers being refused services, or being attacked or harassed have become commonplace. According to statistics compiled by sociologist Fr Michaél MacGreil in his 2010 report, Emancipation of the Travelling People, 63.7% of the wider public reject Travellers on the basis of their ‘way of life’- while 18.2% would go as far as denying their right to Irish citizenship. These statistics show the strongly negative opinions that the Irish public have of the Travelling community. The ‘problem’ of the Irish Traveller has been truly authenticated, the widespread discrimination that Irish Travellers have faced as a result, has had extreme effects on their cultural, social and medical wellbeing.\n\nThe social management of everything\n\nPublic policy can be as informed by the desires of the institution of the state as much as it can be informed by the citizens of it. This is not just true in the case of Irish Travellers and the Irish State, but can be evidenced in countries throughout the world. The process detailed here is simple, a problem is created, over time it is believed, and in the end, a solution that is not pretty is deemed as the only, necessary step to resolve it. In this case, Irish Travellers become a problem and their assimilation into contemporary society becomes the solution. In other cases, personal safety becomes a problem, and looser gun laws become the solution. Or personal freedom becomes a fear, and personal privacy is sacrificed.\n\nPublic policy and other bureaucratic methods ought to be understood not only as reflections on society that inform the state on how they should govern, but also as tools used to manipulate and influence its own society into conforming to certain norms, and holding onto certain beliefs. As a result, public policy should be understood as something to analyse and criticise, not blindly follow.\n\nThe recent burkini ban is a knee-jerk reaction by the French State. Due to the move being met with such animosity across the world – a U.N. Human Rights Office even going as far as calling it stupid – it was quickly understood as being outlandish and unnecessary. However, perhaps if the French State introduced this idea in principle fifty years ago, and slowly used the subtle – yet highly effective – tools of bureaucracy and social management at its disposal, the move would not have been met with such hostility.",

Through an epic series of tales, separated by location and time, we rediscover our lost interrelationship with the vast and magisterial sentience of trees, and in the process we find our redemption.\n\nWinner of the Pulitzer Prize 2019\n\nThe Overstory unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond.\n\nAn Air Force loadmaster in the Vietnam War is shot out of the sky, then saved by falling into a banyan. An artist inherits a hundred years of photographic portraits, all of the same doomed American chestnut. A hard-partying undergraduate in the late 1980s electrocutes herself, dies and is sent back into life by creatures of air and light. A hearing- and speech-impaired scientist discovers that trees are communicating with one another.\n\nThese four, and five other strangers - each summoned in different ways by trees - are brought together in a last and violent stand to save the continent's few remaining acres of virgin forest.\n\nThere is a world alongside ours - vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive and almost invisible to us. This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe.\n\n'It's not possible for Powers to write an uninteresting book.' - Margaret Atwood\n\n'An extraordinary novel ... It's an astonishing performance ...' - Ben Markovits, The Guardian\n\n'The time is ripe for a big novel that tells us as much about trees as Moby-Dick does about whales ... The Overstory is that novel and it is very nearly a masterpiece ... [An] exhilarating read.' - The Times\n\n'One of the most thoughtful and involving novels I've read for years ... This long book is astonishingly light on its feet, and its borrowings from real research are conducted with verve ...' - Tim Martin, The Daily Telegraph\n\n'An immense and intense homage to the arboreal world, the book is alive with riveting data, cogent reasoning and urgent argument ... [Pages] teem with knowledge and gleam with aesthetic appeal. Angry energy pulses through scenes ... Valiant.' - Peter Kemp, The Sunday Times\n\n'This is a mighty, at times even monolithic, work that combines the multi-narrative approach of David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas with a paean to the grandeur and wonder of trees ... [A] majestic redwood of a novel ...' - The Observer\n\n'His monumental novel The Overstory accomplishes what few living writers from either camp, art or science, could attempt ... The Overstory is a delightfully choreographed, ultimately breathtaking hoodwink ... a gigantic fable of genuine truths held together by a connective tissue of tender exchange between fictional friend, lovers, parents and children.' - Barbara Kingsolver, The New York Times Book Review\n\n'Powers has to be admired for the sheer scale of this creation and the passion he has poured into it.' - David Sexton, Evening Standard\n\n\"[A] rich literary canopy ... Powers, one of a remarkable generation of polymathic American novelists ... has produced a brilliant encyclopaedic [novel] ... A rich entanglement of discourses, disciplines, data, characters and styles, mirroring the most biodiverse ecosystem.' - Times Literary Supplement\n\n'It's not possible for Powers to write an uninteresting book.' - Margaret Atwood\n\n'Formidably forks through time and place as it considers how best to care for our world.' - i paper\n\nRichard Powers is an award-winning American novelist, many of whose works explore themes connected to science and technology.\n\n“A generous, enthralling epic of trees and their people”\n\n“An ambitious, but flawed story of trees”\n\nThis is the most ambitious and complex book on the Booker longlist, and two thirds of the way through it, I was pretty sure it was heading for five stars and being one of the best books I have read this year. Sadly, I... More\n\nI have dragged out the completion of this book for as long as possible, not wanting it to end. I knew from the first few magical chapters that this novel would speak to me on a level rarely reached and I was right. I... More"

"After Covid cancelled the 2020 season we were forced to switch gun clubs and split up our teams with trap shooting in Hampton and skeet in South St. Paul for the 2021 season. This resulted in us having to reduce the size of our teams significantly limiting trap to 80 and skeet to 15. We are happy to have both teams back at our 3M facility in Cottage Grove for 2022. During the seasons competition and practice rounds we were impressed by the trap teams 25 straight 25’s and one straight 50 as well as the skeet teams 10 straight 25’s. We have had a great season besides not catching a weather break and expect to see some amazing shooting at the state and national championships this summer.\n\nBased on five competition weeks the trap team ended the season in fourth place for Class 9A Conference Two with 86,794.00 points against Foley, Lakeville South, Nicollett, Northfield, Norwood Young America, Owatonna, Prior Lake and Rosemount. Prior Lake took first place with 114,990.50 points, Foley second with 92,113.50 points and Owatonna third with 86,803.50 points. Senior Captain Brennen Kieffer ended the season as Conference second place male with a 24.40 average. He will receive his conference award at the state championship in Alexandria.\n\nBrennen Kieffer also placed eighth for Top 100 Overall Statewide for trap. He will receive an AllState patch and is qualified to compete at the MN State High School League Trap Tournament Invite Only in Prior Lake on Friday, June 24th against the top 100 shooters in the State. It’s no wonder he shot five straight 25’s and the only 50 straight trap as well as one straight 25 skeet so far this season. Congratulations Brennen!\n\nThe skeet team ended their season in Third place for Class 2A Conference five with 3,072.00 points against Cherry, Irondale, New Prague, Prior Lake, Spring Lake Park, Thief River Falls and Wayzata. Prior Lake took first place with 3,516.50 points and Wayzata came in second with 3,235.50 points. Top 25 Season Overall statewide for skeet 11th place, Top 10 Overall male 10th place and Conference Top 10 male sixth place was earned by senior captain Brock Mosher with a 23.10 average. Even though there is not a high school league skeet championship Brock still gets to claim his fame as one of the best skeet shooters in the state. He will receive a special allstate patch from the league. So far this season Brock has shot four straight 25’s trap, and two straight 25’s skeet. Congratulations Brock!\n\nOn Tuesday June 21st 85 members (24 females/61 males) of the trap team will compete at the State Championship in Alexandria, the world’s largest trap shooting event. We have 17 members (1 female/16 male) of the skeet team registered to compete at the State Skeet Championship in Prior Lake on Thursday, June 23rd. The goal in Alexandria is to qualify a fiveperson squad for the MNSHL Trap Tournament in Prior Lake. National registration is open so we will soon know who will be traveling to Lansing, MI in July to compete against shooters from all over the nation.",

The supergroup moved 242,000 units of Be this week. Be is the group’s second number one album of 2020. Earlier this year, they topped the charts with Map of the Soul.",

"Genre: Gay thriller (not a romance)\n\nIt is book 3 in The Yakuza Path series and can be read as a standalone but it’s worth reading the previous books to follow the ongoing storyline.\n\nThis book does not end on a cliffhanger.",

"When a body goes missing, a young Yakuza’s life hangs in the balance…\n\nAki Hisona’s latest promotion is a cause for celebration. But because his new job is working as the personal secretary for the Yakuza’s Kyoto-based godfather, it’s also a cause for dangerous envy. He takes an invitation from a friend for congratulatory drinks, but Aki never thought the night would end with a deadly knife fight…\n\nAki is tasked with disposing of his friend’s corpse, but there’s one problem: the body is missing. As body parts surface around town, it’s only a matter of time before the police piece together the clues. But keeping one step ahead of the cops may not matter if Aki can’t solve the mystery before his cold, unforgiving godfather boss does…\n\nOne Thousand Cranes is a pulse-pounding thriller in the ongoing series of Japanese mafia stories. If you like gritty settings, page-turning whodunits, and accurate portrayals of Kyoto traditions, then you’ll love Amy Tasukada’s gripping tale.\n\nBOOK 5 – Flowers of Flesh and Blood\n\nShoda squeezed Aki’s arm. “Don’t think you’re getting out of buying me a beer that easily, Mr. Hot Shot Secretary.”\n\n“We got to find a place first.”\n\n“There should be one up another block.”\n\nThe streets were quiet, except for trash workers, but they avoided even glancing toward Aki and Shoda. Even without the inward-facing arrows of the Matsukawa crest pinned on their shirts, they could never lose their yakuza swagger.\n\n“I’ve been trying to suck up to the ward leader in the redlight district,” Shoda said.\n\n“You think the ward leader will move you there when your apprenticeship is over?”\n\n“I think so, but who the fuck knows. I do everything they want, and I still feel like I haven’t gotten anywhere.”\n\n“It hasn’t gone unnoticed. There have been a few times Father Murata talked about how he wished all the recruits were as dedicated as you.”\n\nShoda tugged on his ear. “I just gotta spend another six months cleaning toilets. Then probably another doing the same thing at one of the Kyoto wards. I joined the yakuza, not a maid service.”\n\nAki laughed. “I felt that way, too. It takes time. People have to learn they can trust you before they hand over bigger duties.”\n\n“Wherever you go, I wish you the best. You’ll make a name for yourself.”\n\nEven with the good wishes, Shoda’s face remained tight. “It was easier for you.”\n\nThe two passed through a narrow alley reeking of rotting fish and piss. The yellow trash bags took up so much space they had to walk single file.\n\n“Maybe if I’d taken it up the ass, too, I would’ve gotten a cushy job answering phones by now,” Shoda said.\n\n“So you still have to suck his dick, too? Maybe we could both take turns. The fag might want some variety.”\n\n“And more clearheaded than ever before.”\n\nShoda snatched a handful of Aki’s chin-length hair and jerked him back. The world spun, and the first of the sun rays blinded Aki. Then Shoda’s fist connected with the side of Aki’s\n\nface, and he fell onto the stuffed trash bags.\n\n“Shoda!” Aki cried out while all the hours of training he put in at the boxing gym fluttered away like a paper trapped in a whirlwind.\n\nShoda grunted and drew his arm back again. “Huh? High school grad can’t figure it out? You think you’re better than the rest of us, don’t you?”\n\nAki held up his arms, covering his face, but Shoda delivered a blow to his wrist that sent a shock wave of pain throughout Aki’s body. But it didn’t hurt as much as their breaking friendship.\n\n“No! I never thought that,” Aki pleaded.\n\n“I’m going to fuck you up so bad Father Murata won’t want to look at you. You two-toned freak!”\n\nAnother punch landed on Aki’s stomach. The beer sloshing in his gut churned up his throat. His thoughts swirled as he slid down the trash bags and vomited. It splashed back onto his white hands.\n\nShoda kicked him in the ribs. A trail of acid followed the rest of the contents of Aki’s stomach. Even with the copper taste of blood mixing with acid in his mouth, Aki knew the scuffle had to be a misunderstanding. They were best friends. Shoda just got a little hotheaded.\n\nAki wiped his mouth as Shoda stumbled back. Sure, Aki trained on a punching bag, but he never sparred with an actual person, let alone struck his best friend.\n\nInternational best-selling author Amy Tasukada writes thrilling times of crime, love, and gore. Readers who crave diverse characters, unique settings, and edge-of-your-seat action will devour her Yakuza Path series. Readers who seek less blood and more love will swoon over the Yakuza Path Romance and Would it Be Okay to Love You? Series. Amy is an atheist, queer author who enjoys drinking tea, Japanese street fashion and visual kei music. Her calico cat, O’Hara, is never far from her side. Amy lives in North Texas, but is always planning her next trip to Japan.",

"I HAVE PART OF A PLAN: Chris Pratt Visits Children's Hospital as The Guardians of The Galaxy's Star Lord\n\nWhile the other actors of Marvel Studios' break-away smash Guardians of the Galaxy are probably still thanking their agents a million times over for the mega career boost, Chris Pratt is making like his character film Star Lord, and crash-landing in unexpected places. Bursting into the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, in character, he quickly sent rooms of sick kids into a social media and real life craze - even letting some wear the outlaw's now infamous jacket.",

"While it is great to see a celebrity actually doing SOMETHING MEANINGFUL with their celebritydom, other than trying to capture headlines with their love life, the boy pictured left is Dylan Prunty, he built a logo replica of his hospital while enduring treatment. Chris, at his bedside, isn't just a Guardian of the Galaxy - he is also the star (voice) of the year's other big hit - The Lego Movie. Imagine Dylan's buzz!\n\nStill, it doesn't seem like the visit to the L.A. kids hospital was a random assault either. From Chris's interview with Panzer TV; \"I stole the jacket and some of the wardrobe so that, if this movie comes out and does what everyone hopes it can, I can follow the example of someone -- say, like, [Seattle Seahawks quarterback] Russell Wilson, you know -- and go visit kids.\"\n\n\"If it was a big enough movie, to where it would mean something to a kid who's sick in the hospital for Peter Quill or Star-Lord to come visit them, I'll do that. I think that's awesome, man. That would give me real meaning for this movie, you know?\"\n\nAfter reading that, who doesn't want to spend time building Lego with Chris? Heck, I wouldn't even sabotage his build by hiding any key pieces or anything!"

"Safari from the balloon, One of the best ways to take in the scenery while on safari is from above. At the Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti Tanzania, guests can sign up for a sunrise hot-air balloon flight over the Serengeti. The flight lasts about an hour, and once it’s over, guests can enjoy a Champagne breakfast in the bush.",
null,
"Where: Tanzania\nInsider Tip: Don’t miss the hotel’s Discovery Centre. It’s a combination museum and lecture hall, where guests can learn about the wildlife, people and history of the Serengeti.\n\nMigration of the Bats Safari, Mention that you’re heading to Africa to see the migration, and most people will assume you’re talking about wildebeests. But Robin Pope Safaris offers an insider’s look at a very different creature on the move: the bat. Each fall, around 10 million fruit bats descend on Kasanka National Park in Zambia, as the fruit on local trees ripens. It is the largest mammal migration in the world: There are so many bats that their flapping wings can darken the Zambian sky.",
null,
"Where: Zambia\nInsider Tip: Checked off bats and wildebeests from your bucket list? Another impressive migration is the annual Monarch butterfly migration in Mexico’s central highlands. Each year, around 60 million butterflies fly to this area.\n\nGolfer’s Safari, Golf fanatics don’t have to worry about leaving their irons behind when they go on safari. South Africa is a great destination for a game of golf with the added bonus of wildlife sightings. Great Safaris can help organize a game at Leopard Creek Country Club, near the Crocodile River on the southern border of Kruger National Park. Another option is the Skukuza Golf Course, the only golf course located inside Kruger. A lion once killed a buffalo here on the first green.",
null,
"Where: South Africa\nInsider Tip: Be wary of baboons on the course, as they have been known to pick up golf balls on the fairway and ruin scores. Also look out for indentations on the greens left by wandering giraffes.\n\nSafari on a Quad Bike, Most people assume the only way to get around on a safari is by open-top Land Rover. But for a more hands-on approach, consider a quad bike safari. Cheli & Peacock Safaris offers bike trips into the unexplored territories of the Northern Frontier in Kenya. Travelers might spot Grévy’s zebra, reticulated giraffes as well as elephants, buffalo, and Somali ostriches.",
null,
"Where: Kenya\nInsider Tip: No need to worry about tearing up the land. The quad bikes follow old game trails, so your wheel marks won’t disturb the natural environment.\n\nGorilla Lover’s Safari, A safari doesn’t have to be limited to the big five: Luxury tour company Cox & Kings can organize gorilla viewing safaris in Rwanda as well as Uganda. Intrepid travelers can see endangered mountain gorillas in southern Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, which is home to a dense jungle. Or head to Rwanda to catch a glimpse of mountain gorillas on the volcanic slopes of the Virungas.",
null,
"Safari on Foot, If the thought of sitting in a safari vehicle for hours at a time gives you restless legs, consider a walking safari. UK-based safari specialists Sally and Alice can organize a Zambian walking safari with Norman Carr Safaris. Carr was a pioneer of the walking safari, and the “week on the wild side” itinerary allows guests to move between three of the company’s traditional bush camps, which are located near the game-rich wilderness areas of the South Luangwa National Park. With the help of your guide, you can track big game on foot and take in all the sights of the bush, all with the added bonus of burning more calories than you would sitting in a 4×4.",
null,
"Where: Zambia\nInsider Tip: Finish your safari by spending a few nights in Zambia’s newest luxury lodge, Chinzombo, which was designed by the South African architects Silvio Rech and Lesley Carstens, who were also behind the plan for the iconic North Island in the Seychelles.\n\nSelf-Drive Safari, Travelers looking for an independent safari experience—but with a little help on hand—can try Belmond’s self-drive safari in Botswana. Here’s how it works: Guests drive themselves in a Toyota Land Cruiser through the wilderness and deserts of Northern Botswana to reach the Belmond Khwai River Lodge in Chobe National Park. Two experts, a safari guide and an animal finder, accompany travelers in the vehicle to offer assistance when needed.\n\nWhere: Botswana\nInsider Tip: Guests receive maps with different routes to reach their destination. They can wind their way to Baobab Hill to see the bushman paintings near the Savute Marsh, or opt for a game drive through the twilit evening.\n\nSafari in a Kayak, Most people don’t think of Africa as a kayaking destination, but it can be thanks to Infinite Safari Adventures. (This boutique safari company is the only one in Tanzania that offers kayaking as a safari extension.) Guests will travel to the remote Fish Eagle Point, which has only one lodge located on a private bay, and base themselves there for several days of kayaking in the coastal waters of the Indian Ocean. Itineraries are flexible, but guests can kayak to local villages, down quiet mangrove tributaries, or to sand islands that appear only at low tide.\n\nWhere: Tanzania\nInsider Tip: The kayaking tour is added on to a safari, so the best times to go depend on the season and what you want to see. September–October is a prime time for the great wildebeest migration.\n\nConservationist’s Safari, One of most valuable things that travelers can do on safari is roll up their sleeves and give back, especially when it comes to conservation. For one of the best experiences, Sally & Alice can organize a stay at Namibia’s recently renovated Desert Rhino Camp, where guests work alongside the Save the Rhino Trust team who are based at the camp. Travelers venture out with the team on daily research expeditions, and can even help them track rhinoceros on foot.",
null,
"Where: Namibia\nInsider Tip: Save the Rhino Trust (SRT) is almost single-handedly responsible for the preservation of the desert-adapted black rhinoceros in the area.\n\nSafari on Horseback, Imagine galloping alongside zebra over the plains of Africa, with sun in your face and wind in your hair. Luxury tour operator Asia to Africa can make it happen. The company offers half-day and full-day horseback safaris in Kenya and Botswana. A typical day includes four to seven hours in the saddle. In Botswana, guests travel on horseback through the Okavango Delta. In Kenya, they ride from the dry lakebeds of Amboseli in the east to the Chyulu Hills in the west—with a view of Mount Kilimanjaroin the distance.",
null,
"Where: Kenya and Botswana\nInsider Tip: Horses aren’t the only animals of choice for a safari. Asia to Africa also offers guests the chance to ride atop elephants through the bush in Botswana, or journey through Kenya on the backs of camels."

"Is the Walmart/Instacart pilot a sign of big delivery news to come?",
null,
"The biggest retailer and the largest online grocery delivery service in the U.S. are teaming up in a pilot program that, if expanded nationwide, could have major ramifications for the industry as a whole.\n\nWalmart and Instacart, which work together in Canada, have partnered in four local American markets with an eye toward future rollouts if the test is successful.\n\n“For the first time in the U.S. Instacart now delivers from Walmart locations in three California markets — Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego — as well as Tulsa, Oklahoma,” an Instacart spokesperson said in a statement to CNBC. “The new partnership brings thousands of items — from groceries, alcohol and pantry staples to home decor and improvement, personal care, electronics and more — at everyday low prices from Walmart stores to customers’ doors in as fast as an hour.”\n\nBoth Walmart and Instacart have seen their businesses buoyed as increasing numbers of consumers have turned to them to conveniently and safely shop for food and everyday staples during the novel coronavirus pandemic.\n\nThe retailer is also expected to debut Walmart+, a rebranding of its Delivery Unlimited Grocery service with additional perks including unlimited same-day deliveries of groceries, fuel discounts, early access to promotional deals and more. The service, which was originally set to launch in March or April and pushed back due to the pandemic, will cost $98 a year.\n\nInstacart, which saw orders skyrocket as much as 500 percent during the pandemic, grew its share of online grocery as high as 55 percent in the third week of May, up from about 30 percent in February, according to data from Second Measure.\n\nThe delivery service has accelerated its retailer partnerships since the beginning of the year and now works with more than 400 retailers representing more than 30,000 stores in North America. The service reaches more than 85 percent of households in the U.S. and more than 70 percent in Canada.\n\nDISCUSSION QUESTIONS: Do you see Walmart+ and Instacart deliveries being able to coexist or will the retailer choose one option over the other? What would be the ramifications of a national rollout of the Walmart/Instacart partnership for these two companies and the retail grocery industry as a whole?\n\nPlease practice The RetailWire Golden Rule when submitting your comments.\nBraintrust\n\"Shipt 2.0. This is clearly a move to combat the success Target is seeing with Shipt.\"\n\n\"There’s really only one reason for Walmart to do this: as a step towards a potential acquisition.\"\n\n39 Comments on \"Is the Walmart/Instacart pilot a sign of big delivery news to come?\"\n\nWalmart buys Instacart if this works. Then all the other retail customers can sort out whether they can replace Instacart service at a reasonable cost.\n\nNice, Ben. That is the only way the economics work in the long run.\n\nI like the idea. I frankly thought Instacart did a better job delivering groceries than Amazon Fresh is now, and stopped using them.\n\nChoice is a great idea.\n\nOur experience was quite the opposite. Granted it was during March/April — but the in the four times we ordered from stores that used Instacart, there was something wrong with every order. As opposed to Whole Foods which was 99 percent correct and fast. It got to the point that we would avoid any store that used Instacart.\n\nI’m not sure where you, live, Gene, but experiences seem to vary wildly by city. Miami was awful. Gig Harbor, Washington, they said was great. You couldn’t even get a bloody appointment in LA.\n\nThe inconsistency of Amazon is worrisome.\n\nI live in New York City.\n\nTherein lies the challenge and the opportunity — agree with you both that these experience are wildly inconsistent. Our experience in Atlanta is that WFM/AMZN are much more reliable than Instacart.\n\nI suspect that Instacart is not really an operator, but contracts the delivery services out to locals and can’t control the execution. Does anybody know how they operate?\n\nIt is not clear if this would be exclusive. If it is exclusive, at least for grocery, I can see it will give Walmart an edge in the grocery delivery wars.\n\nSecondly, if Instacart is acquired by Walmart down the road, it could mean a major shift in the delivery industry. Otherwise I view it as a partnership that will accelerate Walmart’s grocery delivery capabilities, but may not have an industry altering impact.\n\nI agree with the latter – this is an accelerant for Walmart, not a buyout scenario. There may be some interest in a buyout, but I am not seeing it now. It’s too costly and too dependent on the current market. Same-day delivery is not easy to fulfill and Instacart has been perfecting this model for grocery. Walmart will use this service to cover demand and supplement existing services. We all remember how grocers, Walmart, Amazon, and others struggled on demand issues, supply chain and stockouts at the beginning of the pandemic. It will also give Walmart better access to sell to a specific subset of same-day service Instacart customers that has been growing.\n\nI agree. If anyone is going to have the necessary scale and resources to develop a solid solution for delivery against Amazon, it’s Walmart. This must be a test to see if Instacart works to their satisfaction so they can use it to supplement their own internal capabilities long-term.\n\nI think this is a bad idea. As the largest retailer in the world and as the U.S.’s biggest grocer by some margin, Walmart should be firmly focused on developing its own solutions for e-commerce. This includes micro-fulfillment centers in its existing stores and, potentially, buying a technology company to help make this happen.\n\nPartnering with Instacart may provide some headroom to drive volume in the short-term, but in the long-term Instacart is a potential competitor for Walmart. This deal gives Instacart greater knowledge about Walmart’s business and helps the business and brand to expand, making it a potentially bigger threat. Walmart has done some very innovative things in the e-commerce space. I don’t think this is one of them.\n\nI don’t think it’s about volume in the short term (although, of course they’d see some volume increases). It’s about learning, which they can both benefit from, even if a deeper partnership/acquisition never takes place.\n\nYou got my 2 cents on this one Neil. Being the devil’s advocate that I am, I also have to raise the point: is delivery of groceries going to keep growing after pandemic days? Most of the people I know can’t wait to get back into the stores to shop. They are just trying to stay away right now. I see this as an option that will remain, but maybe not so much a huge delivery option. Take it inside Walmart and see what your customers want. Again, that is my 2 cents.\n\nI would expect that Walmart would give Instacart some territories and use them for surge capacity in others. Pretty much all the costs are variable. With the amount of volume going through online you have to hope that the “gig carters” in either vehicle are taken care of. I wonder when they will be ruled as “deemed employees” as have Uber and Lyft drivers.\n\nSpeedy delivery that includes a broad range of products. And no airplanes are involved. Makes abundant sense. And kind of puts an exclamation point behind the commentary about Amazon somehow involving itself in mall/J.C. Penney/Sears real estate to get that same on-the-ground local access to customers. A couple of years ago, delivery was for pizza. Now it’s a key retail tool, driver and differentiator.\n\nShipt 2.0. This is clearly a move to combat the success Target is seeing with Shipt. Before the pandemic people said, “Who is Shipt?” Now, it’s an everyday word in harder to serve rural or bedroom communities. Walmart is smart to partner with one of the largest players in the game, because both Walmart and Instacart are now playing catch-up with Shipt in the segment of the market they’ve locked into annual contracts.\n\nMy in-laws on the far-north side of the Twin Cities have had great success with Shipt not just for Target orders (where the integration is basically perfect and the speed is Jimmy John’s fast) but also with our regional upscale grocer, Kowalski’s. Shipt is now indispensable to keep them living independently!\n\nScott — I agree, I rarely use Shipt for Target. We use Shipt for our local grocer and pharmacy. Glad to hear your in-laws are benefiting from it too, and staying safe!\n\nI think the difference here is that Target needed to buy Shipt to enable that delivery capability that they lacked. Walmart already has this to some degree – they don’t need to acquire it. However they may be using this as a test to learn how they can expand their own internal offering. Having said that, I have to say Shipt has been the most reliable delivery service I’ve used since March. It has caused me to shop at Target far more than I used to and they are quickly becoming a go-to retailer in our household!\n\nRicardo — Fair point. The partnership is about giving them access to additional local retailers who extend their product offerings, while leveraging their delivery mechanism. That’s how I’m mostly using Shipt. I rarely buy stuff from Target, but Shipt reliably delivers our groceries every other day — and with an annual subscription that makes deliveries over $35 free. That’s hard to beat right now.\n\n<a class=\"wc_tooltipster\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://twitter.com/home?status=Ricardo — Fair point.

"Data shows earthquakes on the rise in Tennessee, but what does that mean?\n\nThe Tennessean has created a display of 25 years of earthquake data from Tennessee and around the country.\n\nData shows earthquakes on the rise in Tennessee, but what does that mean?\n\nOfficials say you need to have an emergency kit on hand, and this is what it should include. Wochit\n\nTennessee has recorded four \"significant\" earthquakes in the past 25 years, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Two of them were this year.\n\nBut that's not necessarily a reason to worry.\n\nTennessee geologist Ronald Zurawski said the state may not have more earthquakes. It could just be that more residents are reporting that they felt them.\n\n\"We have more seismic sensing devices than we used to,\" Zurawski said. \"We are picking up smaller earthquakes, and people are becoming more aware of the hazard..\"\n\nThe Tennessean has created a display of 25 years of USGS earthquake data from Tennessee and around the country. The map and charts update every 10 minutes.\n\nThe two most notable shake-ups out of Tennessee's 175 quakes so far in 2019 came days before the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival with a 2.6 magnitude quake in Manchester in June, and in July with a 3.0 magnitude quake near Claiborne County.",
null,
"A visualization of earthquakes Tennessee has had since 2010. (Photo: USGS Advanced National Seismic System Catalog)\n\nTo determine whether an earthquake is significant, the USGS considers the number of people who reported feeling an earthquake, along with its magnitude and any damage or injuries it caused.\n\nMagnitude measures energy released on a scale of zero to 10. The state is divided into two seismic zones: the New Madrid in West Tennessee and the East Tennessee zone.\n\n\"Earthquakes are very complex,\" Zurawski said. \"It’s not like a pebble in a pond. It happens in an irregular pattern.\"\n\nExplore the data: An interactive map and chart created by The Tennessean shows where earthquakes have struck today, and over the past 25 years\n\nTennessee had 301 quakes in 2018, the highest amount in the past 25 years, according to USGS data.\n\nThis year's 175 earthquakes as of Tuesday put the state in 14th place. For perspective, California clocks in at first with more than 58,000 quakes so far this year.\n\nNot all tectonic plate movement is felt, which is normal, USGS geophysicist Don Blakeman said. The majority of those quakes are magnitude 2.5 or less.\n\nThe state's biggest quake happened in 1811 along the New Madrid fault line. That 7.5 magnitude quake caused damage in the western part of the state and created Reel Foot Lake.\n\nScientists say that another powerful quake will likely happen along that fault line again, but they can't forecast when.\n\n\"We can’t predict earthquakes, and we don’t see anything changing,\" Blakeman said. \"Tennessee isn’t becoming California. If we have a 7 there tomorrow, don’t hold it against me. It’s very unlikely. The next large earthquake could be tomorrow or another 100 years.\"\n\nEarthquakes in Tennessee: Here are the most powerful quakes from the last 100 years\n\nHere is what to do if you experience a large earthquake."

"Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is officially on the books. In a short teaser trailer at Sony’s 2021 PlayStation Showcase, fans got their first look at the game. Of course, this is just a very early look with no gameplay to speak of. However, the team behind the teaser trailer knew exactly how to get fans hyped. Not only did they reveal that the game is coming in 2023, but we also got some teases on this game’s new villains.\n\nThe teaser starts with a man talking about looking for “an equal.” This character is likely Kraven the Hunter, given both his accent and general vibe. However, we also see Venom pop up at the end of the trailer. Players who have played the first game won’t be surprised to see multiple villains making an appearance — that game had all kinds of baddies from Spider-Man’s extensive catalog appear. Now that both Peter Parker and Miles Morales are dual protagonists in the game, it only makes sense for developer Insomniac Games to go even further into the franchise’s gallery of villains.\n\nThat all said, Insomniac didn’t actually reveal too much, which isn’t surprising considering the game isn’t coming until 2023. One big question we have from the reveal is what will Insomniac do with the two protagonists? Will players switch back and forth between them? Or could there be separate campaigns as players go up against some of the toughest villains in the Spider-verse? Either way, it’s safe to say that fans of Insomniac’s Spider-Man games will be very happy as Insomniac delivers more details about Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. If you haven’t seen the teaser, make sure to check it out below."

Shortly after arriving to our seats, we wondered what kind of piano was on the stage.\n\nWe were delighted to find out that he had a beautiful Fazioli piano on the stage as part of his orchestra!\n\nOur subsequent research revealed that Andre Rieu has two Stradivarius violins (made in 1667 and in 1732), and two Fazioli grand pianos!\n\nThe Fazioli dealer in Holland confirmed that he has travelled with a Fazioli since 1993, and he later bought another Fazioli to use in his studio in Maasticht."

"Emmanuel Bove, born in Paris as Emmanuel Bobovnikoff, died in his native city on Friday 13 July 1945, the night on which all of France prepared for the large-scale celebration of the first 'quatorze juillet' since World War II. He would probably have taken no part in the festivities. Bove was known as a man of few words, a shy and discreet observer. His novels and novellas were populated by awkward figures, 'losers' who were always penniless. In their banal environments, they were resigned to their hopeless fate. Bove's airy style and the humorous observations made sure that his distressing tales were modernist besides being depressing: not the style, but the themes matched the post-war atmosphere precisely."

"A group of University of Victoria students has been preparing for a pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago in Spain.\n\nCo-led by the Rev. Ruth Dantzer, Anglican campus chaplain, and the Rev. Henri Lock, United Church chaplain, the pilgrimage was scheduled to begin April 28 at the monastery along the ancient Camino Frances route. After two nights of immersion in Gregorian chant and Christian contemplative thought, the students will begin the 250-km trek to Santiago.\n\n“Going on a pilgrimage is evangelical in nature, as participants will have the opportunity to walk an ancient path that is infused with historical, traditional and spiritual significance from the Christian religion.”\n\nThe initiative is supported by a Vision Fund grant from the diocese of British Columbia.\n\nMission to Seafarers Southern Ontario has sent out an urgent call for volunteers for the 2019 shipping season.\n\n“Our people were doing double and triple duty at the Oshawa mission last season because ships were coming in so frequently,” said the Rev. Judith Alltree, the mission’s executive director and senior port chaplain. “It was great for the seafarers, but we’re going to need a lot more people.”\n\nChanges have also been underway for the Southern Ontario mission. It opened the Terry Finlay Seafarers Centre in the Port of Oshawa in June 2017, and it has been busy there ever since, Alltree said. Volunteers there will need to grow from seven to 12-15 to keep up with demand.\n\nVolunteers are also needed at the Toronto mission, which is moving to a new space in PortsToronto’s Cruise Ship Terminal. The mission, which relies entirely on donations and grants, has been unable to sell its former Pier 51 location; pipes burst on January 30, leading to flooding and rendering the building unusable.\n\nOn February 17—and after more than 13 hours of flight—a team of travellers from the diocese of New Westminster arrived in Manila for a 10-day visit to the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Philippines (EDNP), part of the Episcopal Church in the Philippines.\n\nThe team attended the EDNP’s 48th convention at the cathedral in Bontoc, toured the region and visited many churches.\n\nA diocese of Niagara priest has written a book to offer Christian perspectives on health and diet to churchgoers, pastors and wellness counselors.\n\nThe Living Diet: A Christian approach to food and diet, written by the Rev. Canon Martha Tatarnic, “combines personal, communal, and theological perspectives on eating and body image,” according to Church Publishing Inc., publisher of the book.\n\nThe publisher said the book responds to increasing anxiety and isolation people feel around their bodies and food choices. “Drawing on a rich assemblage of personal and collected stories grounded in the teachings of Jesus, The Living Diet offers a joyful alternative to the desperation and dissatisfaction that have become cultural norms for both eating and body image, inviting us to consider our choices in the context of community.”\n\nIn a place where the winters can seem unending, the Northern Manitoba Trappers’ Festival brings the communities of The Pas and Opaskwayak Cree Nation together for all things northern: championship dog races, log splitting and flour packing. You can also witness contests of practical skills like bannock making, fish filleting and tea boiling, all done on a fire that competitors must build by axe and match.\n\nFunds raised during the outreach effort will support church programming and community initiatives."

"Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) are found in the temperate and arctic regions of the northern hemisphere. They occur in the rivers of the countries that border both sides of the North Atlantic Ocean, and the Baltic Sea.\n\nAs an anadromous species, Atlantic salmon live in freshwater as juveniles but migrate to sea as adults before returning up river to spawn.\n\nAtlantic salmon return to their native river, and even the same stretch of the river from which they were born, with amazing accuracy. This means that many ‘populations’ of Atlantic salmon may exist within the same river.\n\nOSPAR Regions where it occurs: I, II, III, IV\n\nOSPAR Regions where under threat and/or in decline: I, II, III, IV6\n\nWhat is the latest status of the species?",

"Basically the world's most widely available magazine-fed self-loading Shotgun that actually works. Packing 23 base armour (2nd highest on an SG), a 3-tile FP buff, and a generous HP pool (1320 at 5 links), 5 shot mag (very high baseline for SGs), her base stats alone make her a pretty solid SG doll to take along.\n\nThat's good, since her skill is actually a little awkward.\n\nFirst off, the 8s ICD actually puts it in the middle of a reload animation, so she doesn't actually fire it off at 8s unless you manually handle movement so she can fire at that point or you adjust her RoF (usually by giving her a scope with badly calibrated -RoF). Next, it's actually a skillshot, so it doesn't benefit from things like crits. On the otherhand it also means it can hit scouts at night, so hah. It's basically pretty goofily coded. However a side effect of the goofy code is once the skill is triggered, she can actually continue to fire it while moving so lol? Also it actually does a pretty chunky amount of damage if it does work.\n\nAnyway it doesn't super matter, since most MG fights are over before the skill will matter anyway, so her really good base stats will carry the day.\n\nWhy the image is what it is"

"The Maltese is a small breed of dog in the Toy Group. It descends from dogs originating in the Central Mediterranean Area. The breed name and origins are generally understood to derive from the Mediterranean island nation of Malta; however, the name is sometimes described with reference to the distinct Adriatic island of Mljet, or a defunct Maltese town called Melita.\n\nThis ancient breed has been known by a variety of names throughout the centuries. Originally called the \"Canis Melitaeus\" in Latin, it has also been known in English as the \"ancient dog of Malta ,\" the \"Roman Ladies' Dog,\" the \"Maltese Lion Dog.\" The origin of the common name \"Cokie\" is unknown, but is believed to have originated in the mid-1960s on the U.S. East Coast and spread in popular use. This breed has been referred falsely as the \"Bichon\", as that name refers to the family (\"small long-haired dog\") and not the breed. The Kennel Club officially settled on the name \"Maltese\" for the breed in the 19th century.[3]\n\nThe Maltese is thought to have been descended from a Spitz-type dog found among the Swiss Lake Dwellers and was selectively bred to attain its small size. There is also some evidence that the breed originated in Asia and is related to the Tibetan Terrier; however, the exact origin is unknown.[7][8] The dogs probably made their way to Europe through the Middle East with the migration of nomadic tribes. Some writers believe these proto-Maltese were used for rodent control[5][9] before the appearance of the breed gained paramount importance.\n\nThe oldest record of this breed was found on a Greek amphora[10] found in the Etruscan town of Vulci, in which a Maltese-like dog is portrayed along with the word Μελιταιε (Melitaie). Archaeologists date this ancient Athenian product to the decades around 500 BC.[11] References to the dog can also be found in Ancient Greek and Roman literature.[12]\n\nAristotle was the first to mention its name Melitaei Catelli, when he compares the dog to a mustelid, around 370 BC.[13][14] The first written document (supported by Stephanus of Byzantium[4][15][16][17]) describing the small Canis Melitaeus was given by the Greek writer Callimachus, around 350 BC.[18] Pliny suggests the dog as having taken its name from the Adriatic island Méléda;[15] however, Strabo, in the early first century AD, identifies the breed as originating from the Mediterranean island of Malta,[6][19] and writes that they were favored by noble women.[3][16][18][20]\n\nDuring the first century, the Roman poet Martial wrote descriptive verses to a small white dog named Issa owned by his friend Publius.[21] It is commonly thought that Issa was a Maltese dog, and various sources link Martial's friend Publius with the Roman Governor Publius of Malta,[22] though others do not identify him.[23]\n\nJohn Caius, physician to Queen Elizabeth I, also claimed that Callimachus was referring to the island of Melita \"in the Sicilian strait\" (Malta).[16] This claim is often repeated, especially by English writers.[5][24] The dog's links to Malta are mentioned in the writings of Abbé Jean Quintin d'Autun, Secretary to the Grand Master of the Knights of Malta Philippe Villiers de L'Isle-Adam, in his work Insulae Melitae Descriptio.[25]\n\nAround the 17th and 18th centuries, some breeders decided to \"improve\" the breed, by making it smaller still. Linnaeus wrote in 1792 that these dogs were about the size of a squirrel.[5][18] The breed nearly disappeared and was crossbred with other small dogs such as Poodles and miniature Spaniels. In the early 19th century, there were as many as nine different breeds of Maltese dog.[5]\n\nParti-colour and solid colour dogs were accepted in the show ring from 1902 until 1913 in England,[26] and as late as 1950 in Victoria, Australia.[27] However, white Maltese were required to be pure white. Coloured Maltese could be obtained from the south of France.",

"Rex Monday, 36, was out for a predawn walk when he took a misstep and fell into a storm drain–only a short distance, but he fell wrong. He lay there motionless for several hours until a woman, walking her dog, chanced by and called the paramedics. The next three months Monday spent as a newborn C-7 quad in rehab at Rancho Los Amigos. That was 14 years ago. Now his Beatle-esque band–The Warm Guns–has issued its first album, Blown Away. We caught up with him at his office in Ojai, Calif.\n\nNM: Tell us about what happened after you got out of rehab.\n\nRM: As soon as I got out of the hospital I went right back to recording an album I had been working on before. I got on with my life.\n\nNM: Are you different now than before the accident?\n\nRM: I’m more reflective, less egotistical. Also, I’ve learned you don’t need to be a fully functioning human being to be productive and conscientious and able.\n\nNM: Did you ever get into the drug and alcohol thing? Was that a problem for you?\n\nRM: I’ve gone down that road–had chronic urinary infection, so pills were easy to get.\n\nRM: Yeah, I’ve had times of incredible depression and hopelessness. Waking up at three in the morning with diarrhea, shit all over the bed and the chair and the floor. I get frustrated, angry, and I weep. And then I clean it up and I feel better.\n\nNM:Do you find yourself getting angry with those around you?\n\nRM: I don’t get angry with other people, I get angry at myself.\n\nNM: And how do you handle that?\n\nRM: When I feel down I’ll not want to be around other people. I’ll write, I’ll read, isolate for a couple of days. The last time it happened I went out to Los Padres National Forest, camping by myself in the middle of nowhere, bears growling all around me.\n\nNM: Are there other ways you think you’ve changed?\n\nRM: In my relationships with women. I’m more sensitive now. I don’t have the pleasure receptors, so now my pleasure is all about giving pleasure to women instead of myself. And I seem to date a lot more women now than before.\n\nNM: Has your music changed since your accident?"

"Love reality TV about intergenerational friendships? Start one yourself\n\nA recent international reality TV trend sees people from different generations thrown into situations together with mixed results. But what can be learned from them here in Aotearoa?\n\nZoomer Liam is dripping with sweat as he scrubs at the soap scum lining the bath belonging to pensioner Flo, who is 86 years old and lives alone in a five bedroom house in Brighton. His mum still does all his housework, and he is shocked at the effort involved in cleaning a bathroom. “I’m young and fit and I’m bloody sweating doing this, let alone someone who is 86,” he wheezes, before proudly presenting his hard work to Flo. She is not impressed. “It’s not that it’s difficult for me,” she scoffs at the camera, “it’s just that I’d rather sit on my arse and do nothing”.\n\nThe UK series Lodgers for Codgers, airing on Thursdays on TVNZ1, can often feel like a concept created by AI bots. Grumpy older person with big empty house + grumpy younger person with no house = something to watch with human eyes? It is hardly going to change the world, but it is going to give us hilarious and heartwarming moments such as Flo (86) on the piss asking Liam (19) whether she should sign up to Grindr, and Sophie (20) tearfully bonding with Eunice (85) over their mental heath struggles.\n\nThe Australian series Old People’s Home for Four Year-Olds, which arrived on Netflix last year, embraces a similar intergenerational concept. Lonely folks in a retirement home are paired up with preschoolers for six weeks to see if the pairing improves their quality of life. As the little-uns toddle in for daily activities such as navigating a maze, creating a mural and watching baby ducklings hatch, you see the oldies shake off their gloom, all the while psychologists and physiotherapists monitor their progress in that sincere, pseudo-scientific, reality TV way.\n\nKevin Lamb, CEO of Age Concern New Zealand, has watched both these reality shows, hastily noting that they “aren’t really my cup of tea”. In his work at Age Concern, a charity providing specialised services and support for people over 65 across New Zealand, he has seen a reality for thousands of older New Zealanders that is seldom reflected on television screens. “We are constantly battling the notion that if you are an older person, you’ll be OK because you’ll have family or friends to look after you – and if they don’t then the government will.”\n\nThere are currently more than 750,000 New Zealanders over the age of 65, a population that is estimated to increase to upwards of 1.2 million by 2034. Studies have found that more than 20% of the current population of over 65s in New Zealand suffer from severe loneliness and isolation. “That can lead to real detrimental issues around emotional and physical wellbeing,” says Lamb. “We know that for older people who possibly don’t have children or grandchildren, or are distant from them, it is hugely beneficial to connect with younger generations.”\n\nAn enormous positive of these reality shows that pair the young and old, Lamb says, is their ability to obliquely raise awareness of both the challenges that older people face, as well as what they can offer younger generations. “It really promotes the benefits of intergenerational friendship,” he says. “I do think it resonates with people because they reflect on their own circumstances – for example we know a number of older people across New Zealand are asset-rich and have a house, but they are very, very lonely.”\n\nAlthough they may provide a window into these issues, reality television is known for limitations when it comes to nuance – perhaps not a revelation from a series with a title like Lodgers for Codgers. “Personally, I wince a little at referring to old people as ‘codgers’ because it has such negative connotations,” Lamb says. The stereotypes aren’t helped by the spectacled man waxing lyrical about how he used to work 65 hours a week for 50p, and the Instagram model millennial who spends over $1000 a month on various elements of her hair and face.\n\nLamb’s concern is that the short, frothy reality formats can skirt over the complexity of the societal issues that they are attempting to fix. “I think it doesn’t quite convey the true long term challenges that a lot of old people feel, and the risk is that it glosses over it and makes their situation seem not as bad as it is in real life.” The six week experiment within Old People’s Home also raises questions of responsibility once production ceases, particularly after such strong bonds are formed over time between participants.\n\n“Rapid change is often not a positive experience for anyone, and more so for older people,” says Lamb. “The fact is that it is really important for older people to have a sense of stability.” While an epilogue shows tearful reunions and regular catch-ups, Lamb says the secret to maintaining these relationships is continuing them over the course of years, not weeks. “What that does is establish a stable relationship and friendship that is extremely meaningful and supportive and can be a very mutually beneficial relationship for both parties.”\n\nSocial schemes seen in these shows have been in place in the US for years, and the Netherlands invites university students to live rent-free in nursing homes in exchange for company and “good neighbour” behaviour. Of course, the concept of generations spending time together is nothing new for many cultures in Aotearoa. “When we are working with Māori or Pasifika families, there is definitely much more of a tradition that young people or collective whānau will look after older people,” says Lamb. “In terms of Northern European culture, there isn’t that same sort of sense of traditional responsibility and caring for older relatives.”\n\nEven when cultural norms dictate that the older generation are expected to be taken care of, Lamb says the modern world can still stray from tradition. “One of the things we always say is that people shouldn’t confuse loneliness with being alone,” he says. “We work with a number of older people who live in busy, crowded family environments who are basically sitting in the corner with very little participation and engagement. That can be just as lonely an experience.”\n\nIf you find yourself moved or inspired by shows such as Old People’s Home for Four Year-Olds or Lodgers for Codgers, and don’t have any older people in your own life, Lamb says there are plenty of ways to make these reality shows closer to your own reality. “What I would urge anyone to do, if there’s an older person or a younger person watching these sorts of shows, is to reach out and contact one of the organisations that works in this sphere across the country.”\n\nPeople looking to volunteer should be acutely aware that this kind of companionship is an ongoing commitment. “We will always explain to everyone the importance of stability – dropping into someone’s life for a month and then disappearing isn’t something we can do. It could be an hour or two a fortnight, but it has to be continual.” If you can spare the time, the relationships that you can form over time can have “huge amounts of value” to both parties, says Lamb.\n\nAs for the television shows themselves, a local iteration of the likes of Lodgers for Codgers or Old People’s Home for Four Year-Olds would be welcomed by Age Concern. “Any programme which raises the realities and challenges of older people, that raises issues around ageism, there is definitely room for on New Zealand television,” says Lamb. “But I do think what would be more valuable is programming that highlights the value of older people and the challenges these communities face, and then leaves the audience with a much deeper understanding.”\n\nWithout cameras rolling, Lamb has seen the way the interactions between young and old can enrich the lives of both generations. He says that weekend sessions where savvy folk teach older people about how to use technology often end with the younger teachers being “rapt in amazement”, with tablets and phones cast aside, as the older people yarn about their lives. “You can actually see the shift happen,” Lamb says, “that realisation is quite extraordinary to see.”\n\nOr, to put it in the words of one Lodger musing about her allocated Codger, “they’re not really that different to us – they’re just in an older body with a house that I don’t have.”\n\nLodgers for Codgers screens on Thursdays at 8pm on TVNZ 1, and is streaming on TVNZ onDemand. Old People’s Home for Four Year-Olds is available on Netflix."
