“I feel bankruptcy getting closer every day… You have the statistics and it might seem ok but I’m sorry to say – it is not so. Please forgive me if my question is blunt. I have five children and I love Russia. It’s their motherland and I want to ensure their future here, but it must be based on truth and facts. That’s ... |
Putin, thrilled to meet a British national farming in Russia, said he trusted statistics, though figures may be questioned in any country. However, the statistics were “more right than wrong,” he said. |
He added that Belarus exports dehydrated milk to Russia and that too has the effect of lowering prices. |

President Donald Trump plays the Ailsa course at his Trump Turnberry resort in South Ayrshire, July 14, 2018. |
The U.S. federal government billed taxpayers nearly $70,000 in expenses at the Trump hotel in Turnberry, Scotland, during President Donald Trump's visit last weekend, federal spending records show. |
The expenditures, totaling $69,767, were made by the State Department on behalf of the U.S. Secret Service, tasked to protect the president and his family members during their trips abroad. |
“The State Department frequently assists other U.S. agencies, including the Secret Service, with transportation arrangements and in making hotel bookings overseas," a State Department spokesperson told ABC News. The spokesperson added that the cost for those hotels rooms and additional transportation expenses are reimb... |
The revelation of the expenditures at the Turnberry hotel comes on the heels of criticisms against Trump's touting of the hotel during a recent interview with British tabloid The Sun during his visit, calling the hotel a "magical" place. |
"These are taxpayer funds – money from you and I – that Trump is spending to enrich his own business enterprise," said Craig Holman, a government affairs lobbyist with watchdog group Public Citizen. "This constitutes self-dealing by Trump plain and simple, and we are paying for it." |
President Donald Trump plays golf at Turnberry golf club, Scotland, , July 14, 2018. |
It is unclear whether the Secret Service booked the Turnberry hotel rooms at a regular rate or received a discount. |
ABC News reached out to the Trump Organization for response. |
The recent Scotland expenditures, labeled "hotel rooms" for "VIP visit," are the latest U.S. Secret Service charges billed during Trump family members' visits to Trump properties abroad. |
The State Department spent more than $13,000 at just the Turnberry hotel between November 2016 through May 2017, according to additional spending records obtained by government watchdog group Property of the People and shared with ABC News. |
Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump attend the Trump International Hotel And Tower Vancouver Grand Opening on Feb. 28, 2017 in Vancouver. |
The documents also show that the State Department has spent at least $38,500 at the Trump hotel in Vancouver. This includes the roughly $15,000 spent to book rooms at the new Trump hotel for Secret Service agents protecting the Trump family members during its ribbon-cutting ceremony in late February 2017. |
The president and his son Eric Trump's visits to the Trump International Hotel in Doonbeg, Ireland, throughout 2017 cost the State Department nearly $28,000 at the hotel for Secret Service expenses. |
Rabbi Yehonosson (Jonathan) was born in Cracow (Poland) in the year 5450 (1690). His father, Rabbi Nosson Nota, was Rabbi in Eibenschitz (Moravia), where he died, leaving Jonathan a young orphan. A wealthy Jew in Vienna took the young lad under his wing. However, the widow feared that the boy might be distracted from h... |
For several years, Rabbi Jonathan lived in his father-in-law's house and concentrated on his studies quietly and peacefully. He became known as a brilliant Talmudic scholar. He was only eighteen years old when he was invited to become rabbi of Jungbunzlau, Czechoslovakia. Three years later he returned to Prague to head... |
Rabbi Jonathan's keen intellect sought knowledge in other fields as well, particularly in the inner mystical wisdom of the Torah, the Kabbala. |
Rabbi Jonathan's fame as a preacher and teacher rose to new heights. He was greatly esteemed also by prominent non-Jewish scholars, among them the Jesuit bishop Hasselbauer. Rabbi Jonathan Eybeschutz used his good influence to obtain permission from the bishop to print the Talmud which had been forbidden by the Church ... |
Rabbi Jonathan Eybescbutz was greatly esteemed in Metz and he could have led a peaceful and productive life there. But the trouble that befell his brethren in Bohemia and Moravia made him very unhappy. In 1745 the war between Prussia and Austro-Hungary broke out again, and the Austro-Hungarian troops who had overrun th... |
At this time Rabbi Jonathan Eybeschutz tried all he could to ease the plight of his brethren. He enlisted the aid of the Jewish leaders in Rome to plead with the Pope to use his power in behalf of the persecuted, defenseless Jews. He appealed to the Empress of Austria to rescind the expulsion order, and he turned to va... |
Rabbi Jonathan held his post in Metz for nine years. During this time, many promising young scholars came to his Yeshiva in Metz to study the Talmud. In the month of Elul, 5510 (1750) Rabbi Jonathan's friends in Altona and Hamburg appointed him as chief rabbi of the three united communities AHU (Altona, Hamburg and Wan... |
In the very first year of Rabbi Jonathan's taking up his position, there was a sudden rise in the number of deaths in childbirth. Having the reputation of a saintly kabbalist and miracle worker, many Jews turned to their rabbi for help. One of the ways to counteract the danger, which had often been practiced among caba... |
Finally Rabbi Jonathan Eybeschutz decided to bring his case before the Council of the Four Lands which convened in Jaroslav for this purpose in 1753. Rabbi Jonathan's innocence was then established, and the dispute which had caused much disunity and disrespect in many a Jewish community and which had involved also the ... |
Rabbi Jonathan Eybeschutz spent the rest of his life peacefully, concentrating on his books, which represent an outstanding contribution to Rabbinic literature. |
His main works on Halacha are his Urim Vetumim, a commentary on Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat, and Keretbi Ufelethi, on Yore De'ah. Other works such as Binah Ittim, dealt with other sections and subjects of Halacha. Very highly regarded and popular are his works in drush (homiletics), especially his Yaaroth Devash, i... |
There is new evidence that strongly suggests Emden was correct, and Eybeschutz was a Sabbatean (or, at least, the amulets were Sabbatean in nature). |
A mother and son were reunited after Georgia police found the missing boy behind a fake wall in his father and stepmother’s Jonesboro home, AFP reports. |
Gregory Jean, 37, and Samantha Davis, 42, have been charged with obstruction, false imprisonment and child cruelty. The couple appeared in a court near Atlanta on Sunday, but were denied bond and must remain in jail until their Dec. 9 court date. |
Neighbors told local reporters that they often saw the boy doing yard work and thought he was homeschooled. |
"It shocked all of us, honestly," one neighbor told reporters. "They were really nice people, they were open. They were like, 'Hey, come over any time you want.'" |
"We could have done something," another neighbor said. "But he was never in distress, it didn't seem like." |
According to local reports, police were called to the couple’s home in an Atlanta suburb to perform a welfare check last Friday evening at the request of the boy’s biological mother. |
The young boy had reportedly found a cellphone and downloaded an app to contact his sister, who then reached out to their mother, police told NBC News. |
After two separate searches, the police located the boy behind a false panel in the couple's garage. |
The mother, an immigrant who lives out of state, had reported her son missing to child welfare authorities in 2010. It is unclear why the police were not contacted sooner and which parent has legal custody of the child. |
Opinion: CIOs should learn a lesson from the TJX hack: Don't assume data is safe from intrusion even if it's encrypted. |
The hack attack on the TJX computer systems was sophisticated, spectacularly successful and thwarted the security and encryption systems that were in place at the time of the crime. Thats my opinion on the attack following the reading of an SEC filing that, for the first time, provided some detail of how at least some ... |
The full filing can be found at here. The customer information breach has been well-covered by eWEEKs Evan Schuman, but details of the breach have been lacking as government investigators and private firms hired by the company to review its security procedures have tried to unravel just what happened. The section of th... |
/zimages/5/28571.gifTJX says the intruder had access to the companys encryption key. Click here to read more. |
In the filing the company states, "On December 18, 2006, we learned of suspicious software on our computer systems. We immediately initiated an investigation, and the next day, General Dynamics Corporation and International Business Machines Corporation, leading computer security and incident response firms, were engag... |
Why do I think the hacker was a pro? Three reasons. One is the length of the intrusion. Eighteen months is a long time to have illegal access. |
Two, the intruder (or intruders) did a good job of covering his (or her, or their) tracks as indicated by this statement from the filing, "In addition, the technology used by the Intruder has, to date, made it impossible for us to determine the contents of most of the files we believe were stolen in 2006. Given the sca... |
And three, despite some encryption and data wiping policies in place (at least according to the SEC filing), the intruder was sufficiently computer-savvy to know when unencrypted data would travel in the clear. From the SEC filing, "Through our investigation, we have identified approximately 100 files that we believe t... |
The bottom line for CIOs and information security managers: You can never let your guard down. You can divide up your data, wipe your data and encrypt your data, but that does not necessarily mean your data is safe from intrusion. Constant vigilance of your systems, your procedures and your people working on those syst... |
Eastern's Drake Myers Week 5's Longhorn Steakhouse Player of the Week award, receiving 2,376 votes out of a total 3,760. |
BEAVER - For the second consecutive week, Eastern's Drake Myers came to play. The Eagles' workhorse continued to impress at the quarterback position with his arm and with his legs, proving further his dual threat abilities. |
In a 32-0 win over Northwest last Friday, Myers completed 10-of-12 pass attempts for 208 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 61 yards and a score. For those efforts, the Gazette's online readers voted Myers as the Longhorn Steakhouse Week 5 Player of the Week. |
Myers received 2,376 votes out of 3,760 total votes, or 63 percent to win the award. Myers will receive two free appetizers from Chillicothe's Longhorn Steakhouse. |
Others receiving votes included Chillicothe's Jason Benson (1,189 votes, 32 percent), Southeastern's Lane Ruby (84 votes, two percent), Unioto's Cameron Bryce (71 votes, two percent) and Zach Gibson (40 votes, one percent). |
Readers will have the chance to vote for Week 6's Player of the Week at chillicothegazette.com from Oct. 2 at 8 a.m. through Oct. 4 at noon. |
A year or so ago, the wobbly rock of Let’s Wrestle – ramshackle, raucous, utterly delightful – felt like a bit of a private passion between a small group of friends and myself. The London trio’s sketchily stripped-back arrangements, primitive in design but punchy enough to leave their mark, were drunk down and spewed u... |
But there was always something at the heart of the tunes that made up mini-album ‘In Loving Memory Of…’, recipient of a deserved 9/10 review with my previous employers, so damn addictive – the deadpan vocals could grate, but the lyrics sparkled; the basslines frolicked, always driving onwards, while the perfunctory dru... |
Now, many more ears have opened, and hearts swelled to the sounds of Wesley Patrick Gonzales, Mike Lightning and Darkus Bishop, and their singularly stupid/superb take on lo-fi slacker-rock: think Yo La Tengo singing nursery rhymes after necking ten pints of cough medicine, or The Fall with all players’ tongues coated ... |
A great deal of this record’s appeal lies in the lyricism of Gonzales, whose meandering stories entrance with their muddled cocktail of everyday dreariness – ‘My Schedule’ is, essentially, a list of things he’ll do in the day, albeit set to a swooning shimmer of guitar and drums – and expressive surrealism – ‘Insects’ ... |
‘In The Court Of The Wrestling Let’s’ – yes, the title is a nod to King Crimson – is the kind of collection that offers something special for each and every day of the week. When you wake up on the wrong side of the bed and feel like sticking your fingers into the eyes of all the dicks on the Tube who assume you had a ... |
So, world, enjoy. There’s so much good to Let’s Wrestle, such a great deal of dumb-smile glee conveyed with this album, that it’s a perfect pick-me-up for any occasion. It’s Buzzcocks-goes-Daniel Johnston, with a little Guided By Voices on the side, erudite and desperate, and everything mentioned above and yet a lot, l... |

California’s Bureau of Cannabis Control announced via its Twitter account Wednesday that it had issued its first temporary cannabis event license to the High Times Cannabis Cup Central Valley, set to take place Friday and Saturday at the Cal Expo fairgrounds in Sacramento. Sacramento’s City Council has also signed off ... |
Great news everyone! The Bureau of Cannabis Control has officially issued the first temporary cannabis event license to the High Times #Cannabis Cup event happening in Sacramento this weekend! |
Later in the day, organizer High Times Media issued a news release touting the upcoming event as a historic first, describing it as “the first public event in the nation where marijuana can be bought, sold, and consumed in accordance with state laws.” We haven’t independently verified that claim, but even so, this week... |
In addition to celebrating all things cannabis (think exhibitors, seminars and culinary experiences for starters) the 2018 Cannabis Cup Central Valley has an impressive slate of music on tap with performances by Lauryn Hill, Lil Wayne, Ludacris, Cypress Hill, Rick Ross, Gucci Mane and Rich the Kid. |

Sen. Dianne Feinstein said Tuesday she “strongly supports” a federal law that would keep the government from interfering in states like California that legalize marijuana use. |
Long an opponent of legalized marijuana, Feinstein told the Sacramento Bee that her stance on cannabis shifted through conversations with constituents, particularly those with young children who benefited from its medical use. |
“Federal law enforcement agents should not arrest Californians who are adhering to California law,” Feinstein said. |

California sought to jump-start its marijuana industry in January by giving businesses temporary, 120-day permits that briefly waived big fees and other costly requirements, but that grace period is ending and many say the expense and red tape of getting a regular license is a headache. |

Marijuana growers, manufacturers have yet to get the green light from L.A. |
Months after California legalized the marijuana business, pot growers and manufacturers lament that they are still locked out of the legal industry in Los Angeles. |

The Trump administration is abandoning a Justice Department threat to crack down on recreational marijuana in states where it is legal, a move that could enable cannabis businesses in California and other states that have legalized pot to operate without fear of federal raids and prosecution. |

This semester, the Los Angeles Times graphics department teamed up with the advanced programming class at the USC's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. Students produced these stories, which required reporting, storytelling, design and development, and were guided and advised by Times reporters. |

For the cannabis enthusiast who prefers their lungs to be a natural color, and isn't that keen on the calories that come with sweet-treat edibles, Emeryville, Calif., company Kikoko, which started distribution in Southern California at the end of last year, might have the answer: cannabis-infused herbal tea. |

When chef Raul Medina gets the munchies, he’s ready to cook. The Santa Ana chef is behind a vegan taco pop-up in Oakland, Los Angeles and Orange County called Taqueria la Venganza. He’s also a stoner chef. |
Medina recently competed on the Go90 web show “High Cuisine,” in which chefs are tasked with cooking a dish while high. Spoiler alert: His longtime use of marijuana served him well. |

The Senate's top Democrat announced Friday that he is introducing legislation to decriminalize marijuana, the first time that a leader of either party in Congress has endorsed a rollback of one of the country's oldest drug laws. |
A documentary based on a tech-learning program for seniors shows an unexpected side of an oft-ignored creative demographic. |
In 2012, 93-year-old Marion Kiddell signed up for Cyber-Seniors, a computer tutorial program at her assisted living facility in Toronto. She learned how to surf the web, send emails, and create a Facebook profile. But most of all, she was taken with YouTube–in particular, a video featuring an 88-year-old woman who cook... |
Kiddell wanted a video that highlighted her own talents. In her youth, she’d been a singer. So she asked her 15-year-old Cyber-Seniors mentor to help. And thus, Rapping Granny was born. To date, the video has nearly 24,000 views. |
Rusnak and daughter Saffron Cassaday (who acted as director) were concurrently filming a documentary about the organization, and the team decided that a competition would provide a fun narrative climax. They asked the seniors to submit videos sharing their knowledge and experience. Prizes would be awarded for the most ... |
The entries included exercise tips from 90-year-old Ellard Yeo and a collaboration between 77-year-old Annette Rapoport and her young mentor Kate Babkova on how to pre-game and pick up men. |
Shura Eadie, who had delighted viewers with her ironed sandwich, made another cooking tutorial about mixing cocktails. |
The competition was so successful that Cyber-Seniors is about to launch a North America-wide contest called “Show and Tell.” They’re calling on pairs of youth and seniors to produce two-minute videos showcasing the wisdom, talents and humor of the older generation. The winners will receive tablets. |
A second contest will ask high schools to submit short teaching tutorials aimed at older adults. Cyber-Seniors is currently looking for a sponsor to award the wining school a new tech lab. |
At first glance, the Cyber-Seniors documentary (which is currently touring Canada and the U.S.), seems like an amusing take on the generation gap. In fact, it highlights an overlooked creative population. At worst, we see the elderly as outmoded; at best we call their technological ignorance cute. Why not give them som... |
