__label__cc	0.621768	0.378232	Posts Tagged ‘WhatsApp Plus’ WhatsApp Hits 800 Million Monthly Active Users WhatsApp is one of the biggest success stories in the tech industry; the app is miles ahead of its competition. To announce another major accomplishment, CEO and Founder of WhatsApp, Jan Koum took to his official Facebook page and stated that the popular messaging app now has 800 Million Active users. He also stressed upon the fact that there is a major difference between registered users and active users. On the other hand, Facebook announced last month that its Messenger app had managed to acquire 600 million active users within the short span of four months. Facebook, which owns both its Messenger as well [...] WhatsApp Says WhatsApp Plus Users Will Face Temporary Bans, Not Permanent A few days WhatsApp began banning those users who had been using third party applications like WhatsApp+. The messaging app stated privacy concerns for the ban. WhatsApp has come out and said that the move is just temporary, and users can follow some easy steps to start using their service again. The bans were handed down for a 24 hour period. Users could uninstall the third party app and install a fresh version of the official app from the app store, and they would be re-instated back. But recently a Google+ post saying that Whatsapp is starting a Permanent Account Disable purge caused a lot of concerns amongst the [...] Using WhatsApp Plus Might Cost You a Temporary Ban from WhatsApp Every now and then, you see a pop up notification warning you not to use apps from outside the Play Store; when you side-load apps you open yourself up to all sorts of malware. WhastApp Plus is an unofficial app which uses WhatsApp’s name and server to get downloads without the company’s permission. There have been various rumors that the company is actually buying the unofficial app because of its popularity. However, WhatsApp has recently cleared the air by initiating a 24-hour ban on users of WhatsApp Plus. WhatsApp, via FAQ section [...]	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0117.json.gz/line14980

__label__cc	0.660888	0.339112	Benderspink pencils in crime thriller 5:26 PM PDT 4/29/2008 by Borys Kit , AP Lionsgate picks up comic book adaptation Lionsgate has picked up "Pencilneck," a comic book adaptation for Benderspink's Chris Bender and JC Spink to produce. Created by Victor Carungi and published by his own Paper Street Comics, the crime thriller centers on a mild-mannered banker who, in order to save his criminal brother, is forced by the mob to help them rob his employer. When the heist goes awry and the banker is taken hostage, he snaps. With nothing to lose, the banker goes on a rampage, taking down anyone in his path in order to rescue his brother. Production coordinator Josh Feldman brought it into Benderspink, which developed the project. John Sacchi is overseeing for Lionsgate. The post-WGA strike period has been especially fruitful for Benderspink, which produces as well as reps writers. In the 11 weeks since the strike ended, the company has set up or helped sell 10 projects, including "Leap Year" at Spyglass, "Shell Game" at Columbia and "Emme" at Screen Gems.

__label__cc	0.685054	0.314946	Is Your Hotel Tweeting With David Letterman? By Bonnie Knutson Professor, The School of Hospitality Business/MSU \| June 25, 2010 I wait anxiously for it every year. Maybe it's because I live in Michigan; maybe because it comes out in December when I'm hibernating from the cold; or maybe it's because it's just plain fun to read. Whatever the reason, I can't wait for Lake Superior State University to come out with its annual list of words that should be banished from the English Dictionary. And as you might expect, the 2010 edition contains several entrees that have become part of our technological lexicon – like them or not. I'm speaking, of course, of words like: Tweet – along with its many variations, like tweetaholic, retweet, twitterhea, twitterature, twittersphere, ad nauseam. App – or as one person wrote: "Must we b sbjct 2 yt another abrv?" Friend as a Verb – attributed to, or blamed on, the growing popularity of social networking sites such as MySpace and FaceBook. Now you can "befriend" people or "unfriend" them with a click of your mouse. LOL – so are you sending lots of love or laughing out loud? Sexting – enough said. (But if you don't know what this term means, just ask your kids or grandkids.) It seems as if the world of technology is not only taking over our vocabulary, but is engulfing our lives – both personally and professionally. As someone in the hotel business, this means that you have to think about how your property can integrate digital communications into its promotional strategy. This is no easy task. But it is a task that must be done because the technological genie is out of the bottle...and it's not going back in. So in a hats off to David Letterman, here is a "Half Top Ten" list of key areas to consider as you begin this integration job. 5) You can increasingly incorporate online video into your website. Every hotel has the opportunity to increase value through video streaming, webinars, or links to other interactive websites. Such tools are a great way to add customer value and stay in contact with them 24/7 – especially good for hotels who have seasonal markets, are a boutiques, or are in a highly competitive segment. For example, a resort might hold a webinar with its golf or tennis pro giving performance tips, talking about the new product line coming into the pro shop, or even providing nutrition and exercises tips that are sport specific. If you are in the meeting and convention business, your website might have video content offering ideas on such topics as creative low cost social events. And then there is always the message from you on important issues facing the hotel or travel industry? The possibilities are endless. 4) You will have to closely monitor and manage social media and earned media (that the additional exposure your business gets when customers share their experiences online through FaceBook, Blogs, or Twitter). These social outlets exist in real time so having a guest post a photo of herself in an outfit she just bought at your hotel can immediately increase awareness, augment traditional advertising, and help build revenues. Conversely, having a business traveler tweeting about the bad hamburger he got at restaurant, or having a guest's photo, caught in an unflattering situation, posted on YouTube, can instantly impact the image of your property. Remember, every research study shows that people trust information from each other more than they trust advertising. Social media is the new word of mouth, only now, it is word of finger, and instantaneously can go worldwide. 3) Convergence will be one of two new bywords for your online communications strategy. If you don't believe me, all you have to do is look at what was unveiled at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Coming to consumers' homes, and to your hotel in the near future are TVs with direct Internet connectivity, or with on-screen access to content portals such as YouTube and Netflix. As video streaming becomes intertwined with TV, your website, along with all the connectivity it will provide, can increase customers' sense of brand community. This sparks loyalty which is a hallmark of any successful GRM (Guest Relationship Management) strategy. While the sense of belonging is psychological, it is a major basis for self-definition. It is also one of the most important reasons people are faithful to a brand. Look at what Harley-Davidson has done; ditto with American Girl, You have always worked hard to develop ways to enhance that sense of community – on time room service, a personal note to a frequent guest on her birthday, or a sincere welcome when someone walks in your door. But as technology continues to expand its role in our lives, there are wonderful opportunities to expand these GRM efforts into new directions.

__label__wiki	0.7526	0.7526	About TXSN Houston Chronicle Sports » Sports // TSN - Rockets 3-pointers: Takeaways from Rockets' loss to Timberwolves Jonathan Feigen , Houston Chronicle Dec. 4, 2018 Updated: Dec. 4, 2018 3:02 p.m. Chris Paul, defending Minnesota's Dario Saric, is still bullish on Rockets' chances. Photo: Jim Mone, Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — Asked a few times about how much things have changed since last season, when at this stage the Rockets were 19-4, Chris Paul went beyond his stance that he was not worried about where the Rockets will be once they get things together. He brought out some good bravado for the occasion. "Somebody's gotta beat us 4 out of 7 games," he said. "I don't see that happening." Taken literally, that sounded as if he was claiming that the Rockets, who are back under .500 after Monday's loss, won't be beat in a playoff series. But even if the emphasis goes to the second half of his statement, that he can't see it, the Rockets' latest loss should serve as a reminder they cannot assume anything. Players need bravado. If they miss 10 straight shots, and Paul nearly did on Monday, they have to be certain the next one is going in. If they take a painful loss, and in some ways Monday's qualifies, they have to get over it rapidly. The Rockets, however, have reached a point in the season to make a move. They are healthy again. They had a couple solid wins. They play teams they must pass to be a playoff team, with their next three games against teams that have already beaten them this season. There remains tons of work to do to clean up the mess from the first 20 games of the season. Jonathan Feigen Rockets Mailbag: Where does Isaiah Hartenstein fit on this team? 3-pointers: Takeaways from the Rockets' win against the Bulls 3-pointers: Takeaways from the Rockets' win against the Spurs Brian T. Smith Smith: James Harden leading NBA in turnovers a symptom of... How Eric Gordon has fixed his shot When they got up 19 points late in Monday's first half, they should not have assumed any superiority to the Wolves. They got away with that against the Bulls, but the Wolves are among the teams the Rockets have to battle for a playoff spot. The Bulls are a young, injury-depleted team struggling so badly that two days after the loss to the Rockets, they fired their coach. The Rockets' confidence can be a good thing, but it has to come with urgency. Rather than consider what they will be, the Rockets need to be driven by what they are, a team hovering around .500 that has to battle for everything. 1. The Rockets offense disappeared. They scored fewer points in the second half (29) than they have in any half this season. They scored fewer points in the fourth quarter (nine) than in any quarter. They matched their fewest 3-pointers (3) in a half and their fewest free throws (3). Yet, things came apart when the defense and especially the defensive rebounding, slumped in the third quarter in a reminder of the kind of play that had sent them to a four-game losing streak and that they thought they had left behind. The Timberwolves did challenge the Rockets to make 3s. They sent a second defender to trap the ball out of James Harden's hands. They sagged a center deep in the lane, taking away the lobs. They took their chances that the Rockets would not make enough of their 3s or take mid-range jumpers. That worked. The Rockets made just 3 of 22 3-pointers in the second half. They made just 1 of 2 mid-range jumpers in the game. But if the Rockets had defended and rebounded as they had in the first half, they could have gotten in the open floor far more often and presumably would have attacked the Timberwolves defense so they would not have had to rely so often on their 3-point shooting. When Clint Capela finished a break 2 ½ minutes into the second half, the Rockets had 16 fast-break points, four from their season high. They did not get another in the game. In the third quarter, the Timberwolves made 13 of 24 shots, getting the offensive rebound on eight of those 11 misses. Even when the Wolves did not convert, the Rockets could not play with the same pace as in the first half when it was all they could do to get their hands on the ball. When the Timberwolves went on a 5 ½-minute burst in which they scored on 10 of 11 possessions, things got rolling with second-chance points. The Rockets were bound to cool off a bit. Allowing 24 points in 5 ½ minutes demanded that they roll in the second half as they had in the first half. That is a lot – too much on Monday – to ask. The offense betrayed them. But they scored 62 points in the first half. They have the league's No. 1 offense over the past 12 games. The defense remains entirely unreliable. After a game in which the Rockets managed just 29 second-half points and just nine in the fourth quarter, the defense remained the greatest concern. 2. Look at the calendar The Rockets did not say that it is a long season on Monday, but they have often said it in one context or another. That is true in many ways. And things do change quickly, with few trends lasting, as their past seven games demonstrate. But damage done in one part of the season can catch up in another. When the Rockets lost every game in a road trip to Detroit, Cleveland and Washington, games contenders expected to win were gone from the schedule. They don't get to return to Cleveland to pick up the win they should have gotten in November. The Pistons are playing well and just took out the Warriors, but the Rockets had that game in their grasp. The Wizards are talented, but the Rockets got a record-book night from James Harden and came away with the loss. Those games were opportunities. Monday's was, too, and this time against a Western Conference opponent that will fight them for a playoff spot. The Rockets are not going to have 19-point leads on the road too often against anybody, never mind a team that has every reason to expect to be a playoff team. Monday's game was another opportunity now gone. They will have other games against the Timberwolves, but every time they let a win get away, it puts more pressure on them to win in Utah and Dallas, to beat the Blazers when they get back. It is a long season, but it cannot be called "early" any longer, not in December. If anything, if the Rockets consider the games that got away, they can recall the warning that it gets late early. That's what happens when a team is 11-12 in the remarkably deep Western Conference. 3. Butler is gone, and that's OK The Timberwolves were screaming at each other, Karl-Anthony Towns said. This was a good thing. This was very different from how things were weeks ago when Jimmy Butler did the shouting and others had reached the point they tuned them out. The Wolves' determination on Monday when down 19 might have shown how things have changed. The focus has gone to Butler and the 76ers. That was fair. He has made that team better, won games as a star closer. But the Timberwolves are better, too. Monday was a great example. They were fractured before the trade. They came together when challenged on Monday. They had traded a top defensive player, but they got a defensive star back. Robert Covington was sensational on Monday, particularly when he swarmed in to twice force jump balls he won as the Wolves took control in the fourth quarter. Dario Saric hit a pair of 3s when the Timberwolves went in front to stay and has greatly improved their depth. It was not a one-game fluke. In the 11 games since the trade, the Wolves have the third-best defense in the league, going 8-3 in that stretch. They traded a star, but got two guys that will knock down 3s and play hard, with Covington among the league's elite defenders and with a cheerful humility that fits the Wolves locker room far better than Butler's fire. With the win, the Wolves moved to .500 and past the 11-12 Rockets, demonstrating that they are clearly trending in the right direction. For the Rockets, that ought to bring a reminder of why they ought to play with ample urgency, if a 29-point second half did not make that clear already.

__label__cc	0.570069	0.429931	Home » News » Member News » Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Unveils Extensive Property Renovation Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Unveils Extensive Property Renovation to Member News Norfolk’s only waterfront hotel wrapping up complete transformation NORFOLK, Va. – (July 30, 2018) – The hotel that helped to rejuvenate Norfolk’s waterfront is wrapping up a transformation of its own. Norfolk’s only waterfront hotel, the 468-room Sheraton Norfolk Waterside, is putting the finishing touches on a multi-million-dollar renovation that draws inspiration from its Elizabeth River setting and the region’s naval heritage. The fresh new design, which introduces a nautical palette of calming blues and metallic-accented grays, spans the hotel’s lobby, guest rooms, meeting space and fitness center. A brand-new restaurant, Waterside Seafood Company, caps off the new look to offer dining with a view. “Recent business growth and new entertainment attractions like the Waterside District, located right next door, have heightened Norfolk’s profile as a destination both for leisure travelers and the meetings market,” said Brendan England, the hotel’s general manager. “With our ideal location and thoughtful renovation, Sheraton Norfolk Waterside is perfectly positioned to accommodate the growing number of visitors, ensuring an authentic Norfolk experience and a comfortable, stylish stay. We also welcome our local neighbors and residents to see how this landmark property has evolved to reflect the best of what Norfolk has to offer.” The renovated property, at 777 Waterside Drive, is an ideal setting for summertime visitors enjoying the Waterside District, annual festivals, nearby USS Wisconsin and Nauticus museum and the new 12-story seasonal Skystar Observation Wheel. The hotel lobby, with its soaring windows and open view to the river, capitalizes on natural light. Its floor-to-ceiling fireplace is fashioned from Italian marble. Crisp white walls and blue textured carpeting give a nod to the maritime setting and are punctuated by pops of gold in accent pillows and ottomans. New to the lobby is The Market, a 24-hour source for snacks and sundries. With its fresh take on classic southern seafood, Waterside Seafood Company restaurant is open 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. to accommodate everyone from early risers to late-night arrivals. Warm wood floors, upholstered club chairs in a neutral tone and floor-to-ceiling windows let the harbor views take center stage. Menu signatures like she crab soup are complemented by hand-crafted cocktails and local craft beers on tap. Newly refreshed guest rooms, with views of the harbor and city skylines, have been given a nautical theme in a palette of blues, white and silver. All accommodations feature the Sheraton Signature Sleep Experience, LCD HD flat panel televisions, wireless and hard-wired internet, complimentary In-room safes, mini-refrigerators, and coffee and tea makers. Step-out balconies are featured in 116 of the guest rooms. Club-level Concierge Suites feature access to the renovated Club Lounge. Warm woods, tranquil blues, nautical striped drapes and soft neutral walls create a calm, elegant environment for Club level guests to gather for an informal meeting or family breakfast with river views. Also fully renovated is the 1,100-square-foot Presidential Suite, one of the most sought-after luxury suites in downtown Norfolk, with 180-degree harbor and city views. The suite features a dining table for eight; wet bar, microwave and refrigerator; balcony; separate bedrooms and living areas; expansive bathroom with large vanity, luxurious garden tub, separate walk-in shower, and walk-in closet; and separate guest bathroom. The suite has hosted four sitting presidents and a number of presidential candidates as well as musicians, actors and celebrities. The Norfolk Sheraton Waterside’s 46,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space also boasts a fresh new look. This includes the 12,265-square-foot International Ballroom and the light-filled Riverwalk Ballroom, which has been renovated with blue glass lighting fixtures and geometric-patterned blue carpeting that reflect the harbor scene just beyond the floor-to-ceiling window wall. Riverwalk Ballroom’s veranda can serve as an al fresco extension or a separate function space. The ballroom accommodates 150 on two levels. The 24-hour fitness center is being doubled in size to 1,400 square feet, with a new keyed access entrance for enhanced security, glass wall overlooking the outdoor pool, CrossFit station, five new treadmills with TVs and Bluetooth connecting guests to online fitness programs, a new sound system and new ventilation system. The state-of-the-art center also includes ellipticals, recumbent and upright bicycles, and weight stations. Work on the fitness center is expected to be completed by the end of June.

The transition from entrepreneur to intrapreneur is full of compromise, but can pay off if you do it right. By Derek SchoettleGM, Watson Data Platform for the IBM Watson and Cloud Platform@dschoettle Entrepreneurship is the perfect paradigm: you invest in yourself and you can immediately see a change in your business. But that changes when your company is acquired or when you transition into a larger company. As an intrapreneur, you're a leader within a larger corporation -- free to exercise your entrepreneurial skills but without incurring the risks associated with those activities. Reward without risk sounds great, right? Here's the downside: acquisitions allow you to influence but not own, which is something not everyone is open to. Sure, it's a compromise, but the transition from entrepreneur to intrapreneur can pay off if you do it right. Here are five tips on how to remain successful once you've made the leap. Maintain an entrepreneurial mindset The key to my success? Maintaining an entrepreneurial mindset, even as an intrapreneur. I see it two ways: you can either be a meteor or asteroid. Meteors keep moving and ascend. They burn bright and shoot across the sky. Asteroids float around in a belt and revolve around bigger bodies. But they don't affect change. They just blend into the pattern. With your entrepreneurial mindset, you've driving innovation forward and constantly evaluating the next steps as opposed to the classic intrapreneur that remains static in the orbit and doesn't propel change. Keep true to your mission You're wondering how you can you protect your entrepreneurial mission while reporting to someone else. Advice to all leaders transitioning into intrapreneurial roles: respect your new team. But remember that you're there to continue your mission, not to conform. My former company, Cloudant, was charged with developing for the cloud and integrating open source, something that's now being done within IBM for our cloud and Watson platforms. Sticking to your mission isn't possible unless you stick to your guns as an entrepreneur. Innovate or die Most big companies can't be trailblazers because they suffer from the innovator's dilemma -- that successful companies can do everything "right" and still lose their market leadership -- or even fail -- as new, unexpected competitors rise and take over. Small companies have the advantage because they lack the bulky overhead and can deliver much more effectively. But as difficult as it is for larger corporations to innovate, there will come a day when innovation will be critical to their existence. At IBM, we've launched Blue Unicorn, a program that fosters just such innovation. In the spirit of facilitating breakthroughs and a culture of product incubation, Blue Unicorn is positioned to transform IBM by focusing on real world problems, using real world measure, and reaping real world rewards. Identify the red-tape cutters Once you become an intrapreneur, find the people within your new company who provide you with the right resources (people who can cut down on the BS). Within large and well-established companies, there are often rigid structures that can stifle an entrepreneurial mindset. That's why you have to find the resourceful allies who think like you to achieve your goals. Keep an open mind, you are now an influencer, not an owner As the pace of innovation increases, the traditional idea behind the big company is bound to change. Here's why: the next generation of innovation will come from a crop of people who have been taught to get their products to market as quickly as possible. These people (we're looking at you, Millennials) are used to working in collaborative teams and believing that good is better than perfect. As an influencer, you have the opportunity to model collaborative behavior. Be the entrepreneurial-styled intrapreneur that fosters innovation and facilitates knowledge sharing to keep your company at the forefront of the competition.

Riz Ahmed is among the new members (Ian West/PA) By Sam Blewett, Press Association Los Angeles Correspondent June 28 2017 20:27 PM Riz Ahmed, Naomie Harris and Warwick Davis are among the actors invited to become film academy members as it makes a bid to boost diversity at the Oscars. https://www.independent.ie/entertainment/riz-ahmed-naomie-harris-and-warwick-davis-added-to-oscars-panel-in-diversity-drive-35876174.html https://www.independent.ie/entertainment/movies/1bc2e/35876171.ece/AUTOCROP/h342/ipanews_76f60988-dfc1-4411-ac8e-93013aae0e6f_1 The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced on Wednesday that 774 new members from 57 countries would be added after facing criticism over the “OscarsSoWhite” controversy. Bond star Naomie Harris also gets an invite (Matt Crossick/PA) The academy announced that 39% of the new class are women, boosting the overall female membership to 28%, up three points from 2015. The new membership is also nearly a third non-white, meaning the academy’s members are now 13% people of colour, up from 8% two years ago. Other Britons to be added are Snatch director Guy Ritchie, Kick-Ass’s Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Shaun Of The Dead’s Simon Pegg while Brighton-based musician Nick Cave and Irish actor Domhnall Gleeson were also included. Personal Shopper’s Kristen Stewart, Wonder Woman’s Gal Gadot, Guardians Of The Galaxy’s Chris Pratt, comedian Leslie Jones and former wrestler Dwayne Johnson were also on the list. Like Surrey-born Davis, 47, Ahmed has found international fame for his work on films such as Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and the 34-year-old Londoner also received praise for his lead role in The Night Of. Warwick Davis was also invited (Nick Ansell/PA) Harris, 40, also from London, was part of the Oscar-winning cast of Moonlight and was nominated for best supporting actress. Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs said: “It’s up to all of us to ensure that new faces and voices are seen and heard, and to take a shot on the next generation the way someone took a shot on each of us.” The announcement came after Halle Berry, who is the only black woman to win best actress, revealed she felt her achievement meant nothing after subsequent lack of diversity. Her win 15 years ago was followed by the awards in 2015 and 2016 where white performers made up all of the top nominees. Improvements came this year when the nominees list was the most diverse in a decade.

Here's all you need to know. Sushant Talwar Samsung is scheduled to launch the Galaxy S20+ at an event on February 11 The Galaxy S20+ is being said to bring with itself a 6.7-inch display The display could sport a super high refresh rate of 120Hz As we approach the launch of Samsung’s next flagship, the Galaxy S20, there’s expected to be multiple rounds of leaks that claim to reveal it all about the upcoming device. And the latest in this has already arrived, revealing interesting details about the camera and display of the Galaxy S20 and S20+. The latest information of the device comes courtesy of XDADevelopers, which has gotten hold of the Galaxy S20+ Geekbench listing that confirms key specs and features. The publication claims to have leaked details of the S20+ variant's camera app, and its hardware, along with a picture showing a toggle for its 120Hz display. The report states that the phone is going to be in line with previous rumours, and will support 8K video recording -- at 30 frames per second (no 24FPS or 60FPS options here). This would be done through the primary camera on the S20+ that would be a 12-megapixel Sony-made sensor. The listing shows the Galaxy S20+ 5G, bearing model number SM-G986U. The model was spotted with One UI 2.0 based on Android 10. For internals, it will bring 12GB RAM and pair it with up to 256GB of storage. As for the chipset, the phone is being tipped to house the Snapdragon 865 SoC under the hood. However, it could be the Exynos 990 for regions outside the US. The listing also reveals benchmark scores, with the pre-production unit of the Galaxy S20+ 5G scoring 923 and 3,267 points in Geekbench 5's single and multi-core tests. As for other specs, the listing reveals that the non-5G variant of the Galaxy S20+ will sport a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED display and will feature a quad-camera setup comprising one 64-megapixel, two 12-megapixel, and a ToF unit. For selfies, the phone will get a 10-megapixel camera on the front. On the other hand, the S20 will skip the ToF module and bring with itself a 6.2-inch screen, 10-megapixel selfie lens, and a 4,000mAh battery. Earlier, a leak had also revealed the specs of the S20 Ultra. The S20 Ultra is being said to bring a 108-megapixel main sensor with 100x Space Zoom sat next to a 48-megapixel telephoto (10x optical), 12-megapixel ultrawide and ToF modules. The high-end model is expected to get 12GB and 16GB RAM options paired three storage variants- 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. The smartphone is being said to pack a 5,000 mAh battery with 45W fast charging.

Images captured June 13 with Spitzer's Infrared Array Camera indicate carbon dioxide is slowly and steadily "fizzing" away from the so-called "soda-pop comet," along with dust, in a tail about 186,400 miles long. These images from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope of C/2012 S1 (Comet ISON) were taken on June 13, when ISON was 310 million miles (about 500 million kilometers) from the sun. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/JHUAPL/UCF "We estimate ISON is emitting about 2.2 million pounds of what is most likely carbon dioxide gas and about 120 million pounds of dust every day," said Carey Lisse, leader of NASA's Comet ISON Observation Campaign and a senior research scientist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Md. "Previous observations made by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Mission and Deep Impact spacecraft gave us only upper limits for any gas emission from ISON. Thanks to Spitzer, we now know for sure the comet's distant activity has been powered by gas." Comet ISON was about 312 million miles from the sun, 3.35 times farther than Earth, when the observations were made. Comet ISON as imaged by Hubble in May 2013 Credit: Hubble Space Telescope "These fabulous observations of ISON are unique and set the stage for more observations and discoveries to follow as part of a comprehensive NASA campaign to observe the comet," said James L. Green, NASA's director of planetary science in Washington. "ISON is very exciting. We believe that data collected from this comet can help explain how and when the solar system first formed." Comet ISON (officially known as C/2012 S1) is less than 3 miles in diameter, about the size of a small mountain, and weighs between 7 billion and 7 trillion pounds. Because the comet is still very far away, its true size and density have not been determined accurately. Like all comets, ISON is a dirty snowball made up of dust and frozen gases such as water, ammonia, methane and carbon dioxide. These are some of the fundamental building blocks which, scientists believe, led to the formation of the planets 4.5 billion years ago. Comet ISON is now approaching the inner solar system. Discovered last year, the comet remains unusually active for its distance from the sun. If current trends continue, ISON could rank as one of the brightest comets in decades when it makes its close approach to the sun in late November. This animation shows the comet's approach and departure from the inner solar system from various perspectives. Comet ISON is believed to be inbound on its first passage from the distant Oort Cloud, a roughly spherical collection of comets and comet-like structures that exists in a space between one-tenth light-year and 1 light-year from the sun. The comet will pass within 724,000 miles of the sun on Nov. 28. It is warming up gradually as it gets closer to the sun. In the process, different gases are heating up to the point of evaporation, revealing themselves to instruments in space and on the ground. Carbon dioxide is thought to be the gas that powers emission for most comets between the orbits of Saturn and the asteroids. The comet was discovered Sept. 21, roughly between Jupiter and Saturn, by Vitali Nevski and Artyom Novichonok at the International Scientific Optical Network (ISON) near Kislovodsk, Russia. This counts as an early detection of a comet, and the strong carbon dioxide emissions may have made the detection possible. "This observation gives us a good picture of part of the composition of ISON, and, by extension, of the proto-planetary disk from which the planets were formed," said Lisse. "Much of the carbon in the comet appears to be locked up in carbon dioxide ice. We will know even more in late July and August, when the comet begins to warm up near the water-ice line outside of the orbit of Mars, and we can detect the most abundant frozen gas, which is water, as it boils away from the comet." On April 30, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope observed Comet ISON. Here we see the comet splashed out over deep space, in a collage with colorful, distant neighbors.

__label__wiki	0.645915	0.645915	Berkshire Profile: Jeff Levanos/Jack's Hot Dog By Susan Bush 12:00AM / Sunday, October 01, 2006 Print Story \| Email Story Jeff Levanos Welcome to Berkshire Profile, an iberkshires weekly feature appearing on Sunday. Each week, iberkshires will highlight a Berkshires resident or entity making a contribution to the Berkshires way of life. North Adams - Open the door to Jack's Hot Dog Eagle Street eatery and several things hit the consciousness: the sizzle of a hot grill, the crowd jam-packed at the counter, and the organized chaos guided by cook and business owner Jeff Levanos. Thriving "Ok, I got two with, one double, what's waiting?" he called to his busy counter assistants on a Sept. 30 afternoon. "Waitin' on one with and a pepper steak," came a reply. Meanwhile, customers have shifted seating to make room for a family of three, someone has arrived for a take-out order and the phone is ringing. First opened in 1917 by Levanos' grandfather Jaffros Levanos, the small but wildly popular business has stood the tests of the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, World War II, the economic booms of the 1950s and '60s, the fuel crisis of the '70s, and the economic downturns of the 1980s and 1990s. With the turn of the century and what many believe is the turn of fortune for the city, Jack's thrives from it's street-facing niche within one of the city's most historic regions. And Jeff Levanos is thriving there as well. "I know I didn't appreciate the business as a city landmark when I was younger but now I have a tremendous amount of pride in this place," said the 48-year-old Levanos during a Sept. 28 interview. "It's become to me what it was to my father. Now I have that pride and that passion. I know this is a big part of this city.I know it when a great-grandfather comes in and brings his great-grandson, and it turns out that the great-grandfather came in as a boy." "And They Fell In Love" The story of Levanos is deeply entwined with the story of Jack's, a story that belongs exclusively to a Northern Berkshire city known as the "Western Gateway." For a time prior to 1917, Jaffros "Jack" Levanos was busy at a different hot dog shop, the "Atlanta" on State Street, while George and Mary Collett were engaged with a similar business at the current Jack's site. The couple had a son named for his father, Levanos said. "George went back to Greece and while he was there he was killed," said Levanos. "And Mary, who became my grandmother, was here with her young son and she knew my grandfather and his place on State Street. She asked him to help her with the place on Eagle Street. One thing led to another and they fell in love." Levanos' father John is a son of Jaffros and Mary Levanos; John Levanos and his wife Lucille operated the business for decades after Jack Levanos retired. Mary Levanos' son from her first marriage was killed in a car accident, Levanos said. Jeff Levanos and his sister Maria spent their childhood in Clarksburg. He was a student at the Clarksburg Elementary School and graduated as a member of the Drury High School Class of 1976. As a youth, Levanos worked at the eatery during summer vacations and on weekends. But at first, he believed his future would separate him from the family enterprise. "30 Years Later, Here I Am" Levanos spent two years as a marine biology student enrolled at the University of Miami. But "marine biology wasn't what I thought it would be and I found it wasn't my main interest," he said. "And actually, it wasn't so much marine biology that I didn't like, it was the climate. I missed the four seasons." Levanos opted to take a semester off and went to work at Jack's. "I took the time off to decide what I wanted to do and 30 years later, here I am," he said with a chuckle. It wasn't only the family business that held Levanos' interest; during that time he met his wife, Mary Lou [Ellis] Levanos. The couple married 23 years ago and have an 11-year-old son Joey. The family lives in Clarksburg. "That was a big part of [remaining in the area], meeting Mary Lou," he said. Workin' It For many years, Levanos worked with his father. And "work" would be the key word, he noted. "Jack's was always a strong business," Levanos said. "It was always instilled in me that I would never become rich from it but it would take care of me if I worked it." "So I worked it, 65 hours a week six days a week. I knew going in that's how small business works, you put yourself into it. Some of my friends didn't always understand that, but I knew going in that was how it had to be." When family members work closely on a daily basis, tensions may bubble from time to time. And in a family venture, people want to be "leader" as opposed to "follower," Levanos said. But the rewards are greater than the challenges. "There can be tension," he said. "But there's a lot to be said for being your own boss." Cooking By Ear There's also a lot to be said for pride in business and that pride is evident when Levanos is asked about the restaurant, the unique manner of operation, the low prices, the generations of loyal patrons. "Everything that can possibly happen has happened," he said. "The electricity has gone out but we cook with gas so we keep cooking. I've never burned out a steamer, but I came close once, about 20 years ago. One grill is the original grill from 90 years ago and the other is one that was bought used and I don't really know how old it is. Back then, things were built to last." The grills lack precise controls, so Levanos has learned to cook by "ear." "I've learned how to adjust the temperature manually and I can stick the meat thermometer in there and I already know it's at 160 degrees," he said. "I know when to raise the temperature and when to lower it. Once I was in the back and I called out to one of the girls to turn up the grill because the sizzle wasn't right. I can hear it, when a burger hits the grill, if it's right or not. I can tell with the deep fryer if the bubble isn't right." Jack's burgers are all shaped by hand, and the 150 to 200 pounds of potatoes used daily are washed, peeled, and cut into french fries by hand at the eatery, Levanos said. "I believe in what my grandfather believed; you give people a fresh, good meal at a price they can afford," he said. Family Traditions Jack Levanos believed in the honesty of his customers as well; during the Depression, food credit slips were piled high, Levanos said. The restaurant has never turned away a customer because the customer couldn't pay, he said. "And people have always made it back later on and paid," he said. "I've never had a person not come back and pay. It's not about money, it's about making people happy. That's why Jack's has been in business for 90 years. This all came naturally to my grandfather. You treat people right and they won't take advantage of it. One customer never had the ability to pay but he handcrafted a grandfather clock for my grandfather and gave it to him as payment. My grandfather had that clock until the day he died." "That's part of the business and the family tradition and I am trying to carry that on. It's not about what you have in your wallet." Taking It To 100 Years It is about the friendships that carry on over time, the customer loyalty, the delight when a native returns home for a visit and finds Jack's as remembered, Levanos said. "One of my customers recently passed away," Levanos said. "She had come to Jack's for the first time on her sixth birthday in 1921, and she'd been coming back for all those years. Every customer has a different story. People from out of town come in and they think the menu on the wall is a joke; they ask what the 'real' price is." Prices at Jack's are amazingly affordable; a hot dog or a single hamburger, served in a steamed bun, is priced at $.95, while a single cheeseburger is priced at $1.05. His son is interested in the business, said Levanos, and he admitted to having a father's eye on his son's future. "All he wants to do is be the owner of Jack's and I'd like him to go to college and have the six-figure job and the five weeks vacation." Levanos has set a goal for the business that is wound around the family work ethic and the realization of what is often termed the "American Dream." "Everybody has their thing and Jack's is mine," Levanos said. "I want to get it to 100 years. I think that would make my father - and my grandfather - real happy. It would make them proud."

The Laundromat Film Review: Reality or Over-Dramatization? Texas A&M University School of Innovation Dame Margaret Hodge UK Labour Member of Parliament Celebrated Labour MP, Dame Margaret Hodge, is Chair of the UK’s All-Party Parliamentary Group on Responsible Tax which is trying to compel the Crown Dependencies to follow the agreement by Overseas Territories to introduce public share ownership records by December 2020; a move which all three territories are resisting. In this Economic Report Q & A with Dame Margaret Hodge, she reveals that the Group has no intention of withdrawing their amendment and rebuts the claims made by the CDS. ER: The Sovereign State is a legitimate form of self-rule in which state law claims it has final authority over matters within its territorial jurisdiction. How legally valid is the push from UK politicians to demand that another jurisdiction changes its laws and what is your reaction to the Crown Dependencies’ vocal and well publicised argument that it is not for the UK Parliament to dictate how they are regulated? DMH: I think they are talking nonsense; we have very strong legal advice that we are meeting all constitutional proprieties. Clearly one would prefer that the Crown Dependencies came willingly to the table to introduce greater transparency. That is why Andrew Mitchell (Conservative Party MP and Vice-Chair of the APPG Responsible Tax) and I visited all three jurisdictions to discuss the values that underpin what we are trying to do which is to ensure that there is true transparency and to use transparency as a tool to fight aggressive tax avoidance, money laundering and oth… The Big Debate Are the EU's Measures Against Tax Evasion Misplaced?

__label__cc	0.608959	0.391041	Current: Tax Monopoly- A World Without IFCs From Comment What if IFCs no longer existed? This is not a rhetorical question. There is a concerted campaign underway to eliminate international financial centres (IFCs). Consider the following recent tax policy proposals: IFCs - Be Careful What You Wis… The Times in a 6 March 2019 editorial: “The Times’ view on the super-rich living in offshore tax havens: Unfair Tax”; “A change of residency for tax purposes by the wealthy is within the law, but what is legal does not define the limits of civic obligation”. Complaining that “[t]ax competition remains largely unaddressed,” the International Monetary Fund (IMF) staff Policy Paper, Corporation Tax in the Global Economy, claims that “it is increasingly recognised that low/zero taxation have adverse spillover effects”. The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) proposed a global minimum corporate tax in its Policy Note Addressing the Tax Challenges of the Digitalisation of the Economy. These examples do not include the usual suspects – I cite The Times’ editorial board, not Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn; the rich-country-dominated IMF rather than the broader-based United Nations; the wealthy-country bureaucracy of the Paris-based OECD instead of the openly anti-finance industry Tax Justice Network. That The Times, the voice of the British establishment, the IMF staff, whose official mission charges it with safeguarding the security of the international monetary system, and the OECD, founded to promote economic growth rather than to maximise tax revenue, all now oppose jurisdictional competition illustrates a major shift among elites. Rather than viewing economic growth as the engine of increased social welfare, they see firms and individuals as cows to be ever more efficiently milked by tax authorities.[i] Suppose these efforts are successful, which is a real possibility. What will the world look like? Let’s consider two scenarios, one in which everything works out as envisioned by the opponents of competition and one in which their efforts to abolish IFCs fail. Tax Monopoly World Most opponents of regulatory and tax competition focus primarily on taxes. At the core is opposition to individuals’ and firms’ ability to shift income to jurisdictions charging lower tax rates. They want a world without such tax competition: ’Tax Monopoly World.’ What it will include begins with proposals for minimum levels of business and personal taxation’ global exchange of information; beneficial ownership registries that identify individual owners of all assets; and restrictions on the ability of people and firms to change tax domiciles. The result, they argue, will be higher levels of tax revenue for virtually all governments. In particular, developing countries with natural resources where multinational firms operate are predicted to collect substantially increased tax revenue. In a conclusion worthy of Voltaire’s Pangloss, all that new money is assumed to be spent on health care, education, and other socially favoured pursuits. Tax Monopoly World will be a marvellous place. But all that revenue has to come from somewhere. Firms will pay higher tax rates, reducing profits. What will that mean for the global economy? Even relatively obvious consequences should strain Panglossian forecasters’ optimism. Because most research and development (R&D) investment comes from retained profits, R&D expenditures will fall, slowing economic growth. Dividends too are funded from profits. Hence, institutional investors such as pension funds, charitable endowments, and university endowments, will have fewer resources. Companies’ cash reserves will shrink; as stocks reflect the value of claims on their assets, firms’ stock prices will also fall. That too will hit institutional investors and individual savers whose retirement funds will fall. Tax Monopoly World doesn’t appear to be quite so attractive. We can debate the size of such negative impacts and whether or not the claimed benefits of particular measures are worth the cost. But one of the most striking features of the Panglossian literature promoting Tax Monopoly World is its failure to identify any negative economic impacts of shutting down regulatory and tax competition. The literature rarely concedes there are costs at all to establishing and maintaining complex bureaucracies necessary for something like a global public beneficial ownership register, let alone attempts to quantify and balance those costs against the purported benefits. Without an open debate about the costs and benefits of restrictions on global financial flows, we cannot know if anti-competition advocates’ ideas produce a benefit. This is a conversation they studiously avoid. The other striking feature of the graduates of Dr. Pangloss’s Academy at the IMF, OECD, and The Times’ editorial board is the failure to recognise that IFCs do anything besides facilitate tax avoidance. This is odd. It is not hard to find evidence of broader beneficial impacts. For example, both Jersey Finance and Cayman Finance commissioned reports on the benefits of their jurisdictions. The 2016 estimate of Jersey’s impact on Britain was £14 billion, while Cayman estimated that it channelled $4.1 trillion of investment funds through Cayman-domiciled investment funds and banks into the United States.[ii] Would the UK or US get those investments if Jersey or Cayman didn’t facilitate them? If not, what funds would make up the difference for those economies? Perhaps these estimates are off, but we will not know without a careful examination of the evidence. That would be a useful task for the large staffs at the IMF and OECD. Moreover, IFCs provide multiple services unrelated to tax. For example, the top three IFC captive insurance jurisdictions (Bermuda, Cayman, and Guernsey) collectively were home to 1,750 captive insurers in 2017. Captives lower insurance costs and expand coverage for a wide range of industries, from health care to transportation. That captives are not tax-avoidance schemes is demonstrated by the election of many captives doing business in the United States to be taxed as a US insurer and the widespread use of captives by non-profit entities such as charity hospitals. The failure to recognise the diversity and innovation in more efficient forms of business strategies made possible by IFCs, leads the Panglossians to fail to value the services provided by IFCs. Having taken the (apparently) radical step of actually talking to financial industry professionals and clients in these jurisdictions in my own research, I found that investors chose these IFCs as the basis for their investments elsewhere for three main reasons. First, they want well-developed legal rules to govern their investment vehicles. Second, they want high quality judges to handle any future disputes. Third, they want world class professional communities of service providers. To get these things, they are willing to pay – but like all consumers, they prefer to pay less if they can. Tax neutrality or low tax rates are thus critical to IFCs’ ability to attract business because using an IFC to get the benefits I mentioned is an additional cost for the investor. Eliminating IFCs’ ability to provide tax neutral platforms – the ultimate goal of the OECD/IMF efforts –raises the cost of investment, lowering returns, deters innovation, and slowing the creation of wealth. The stunning thing about the Tax Monopoly World promoters’ efforts is their failure to even acknowledge such economically destructive costs. A Less Perfect World A major goal of those advocating reducing regulatory and tax competition is to enable governments to impose and collect taxes on multinational enterprises operating in their country, particularly in the natural resource sector. For example, a regular feature of their critiques of IFCs is the lack of fiscal resources among developing country governments, even those with substantial natural resource endowments. By eliminating jurisdictional competition, critics contend that these governments would be able to impose higher taxes and then devote those new resources to education, health care, and infrastructure investment. One flaw in these arguments is that they assume that, if denied foreign bank accounts or real estate investments, corrupt oligarchies would be transformed into enlightened rulers. This seems implausible in many instances. To take just one example, Angola (ranked 165 out of 180 by Transparency International in its 2018 Corruption Perceptions Index, with a score of just 19/100 on the perceived level of public sector corruption) seems more likely to have additional tax revenue stolen by corrupt officials than to spend it on public education. Moreover, IFCs provide a vital service for facilitating investment into developing economies by giving investors a legal system that can handle disputes fairly and expeditiously. They also provide access to a domicile’s investment treaty network’s protections. An investment fund in an IFC can collect resources from investors in multiple jurisdictions because it provides the security of a well-developed body of law administered by expert, honest judges who will determine any future disputes among the investors. Through investment treaty networks, external investment structured through an IFC can protect itself from potentially corrupt local courts. Without the availability of such services, investment into developing economies would shrink. Sacrificing those benefits to funnel funds to corrupt governments would harm, not help, the poorest. A Poorer World What would Tax Monopoly World look like? It would have slower economic growth; higher transactions costs for cross-border investment; less financially robust pension funds; more expensive or non-existent insurance for critical areas from medical care to transportation; and lower investment in developed economies. In short it would be a much poorer world. Why would anyone want to us to live there? [i] It is always worth noting the irony that the staffs of both the IMF and the OECD themselves are not troubled by the higher taxes they seek to impose on others – both pay their staff’s personal income taxes, justifying this as necessary to attract the most qualified.

__label__cc	0.64616	0.35384	EU banks to estimate capital needs in event of new slump By Philipp Halstrick and Ed Taylor EUROPE’S banks have been asked to estimate how much additional capital they would need under two adverse scenarios as part of stress tests aimed at reviving confidence among investors. Europe is testing how 91 banks, including Bank of Ireland and AIB, would cope with another economic slump and losses on government debt after the Greek crisis hit markets and raised fears the euro-zone could unravel. With few details available about the terms of the test and early divisions among the 27 European Union members over how much information to divulge, investors have worried the assessments would not be tough or transparent enough. According to a document sent to banks and obtained by Reuters, banks must estimate how much more capital they might need to achieve a tier 1 capital ratio of 6% under three different scenarios. They have been asked to estimate their tier 1 capital ratio at the end of 2011 under a base scenario, an adverse scenario including two years of economic deterioration, and an adverse scenario with an “additional sovereign shock”. Capital is held by banks to protect deposits, and tier 1 is a standard measure that includes common stock and retained earnings. Sources said the template letter was sent to all the banks participating in the test, which is being coordinated by the Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS). The details were released as top bankers met the European Central Bank in Frankfurt. Major listed banks, which face constant investor scrutiny, are expected to pass, but the tests may show the worst problems lie with smaller players such as Spanish cajas and German landesbanks, which are mainly unlisted. Arturo de Frias, analyst at Evolution Securities, named National Bank of Greece and Banco Popular as some of those at risk of failing the test. “We expect perhaps a few of the cajas failing and a few of the landesbanken failing, but no large bank having to ask for more capital,” de Frias told Reuters Insider. “The question is whether the smaller domestic players, like in Greece and Spain, will fail.” German nationalised lender Hypo Real Estate will likely fail the test, but officials and bankers from several countries including Germany, France, Greece and Belgium have said their banks should pass, raising concerns the assessment is too lenient to reassure the markets. Under the harshest scenario, banks are asked to include cumulative losses for this year and 2011 for “additional losses on sovereign exposures in the trading book” and impairment losses on the banking book, where assets are held to maturity and not regularly marked to market prices.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0117.json.gz/line15019
__label__cc	0.673927	0.326073	Informa Australia is part of the Informa Connect Division of Informa PLC How to Achieve Forklift Safety – An overview from the UK 23 Aug 2018, by Informa Insights Back to all Insights First published in Forkliftaction.com News: Safety First column. Stuart Taylor is Managing Director of Mentor FLT Training Limited, the UK’s leading provider of training and associated services for all types of materials handling equipment and workplace transport. Forklifts may appear innocuous, but their capacity to injure shouldn’t be underestimated. Nor should their training requirements, as a leading household name recently found out. Just last year, the company in question received a six-figure fine after a new starter had a serious accident while using materials handling equipment, resulting in reconstructive surgery. The investigation revealed that the company relied on job shadowing, rather than a standardised training program, to provide operators with the relevant skills. As a result, the company was fined for not providing structured and necessary formal training. Cases like this demonstrate the real-world impact of the proportional sentencing guidelines introduced last year. But, more than that, they underline the importance of ensuring you’re delivering structured training that covers all three essential elements, as required by law. In the UK, Regulation 9 of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) makes it very clear that an employer must provide adequate training for all persons using work equipment – including how it’s used, the risks involved and the precautions to be taken. Our industry’s ACoP, L117 offers details on what this means. It outlines three types of operator training which must be satisfied by employers. 1. Basic training Just as it says ‘on the tin’, this training imparts the foundation-level skills, knowledge and hazard awareness necessary to operate the type of forklift and handling attachments (if any) that will be used. While it’s possible for an in-house, qualified instructor to deliver this training, many companies prefer to pass this responsibility onto experienced and accredited training providers, an option which often offers good value and makes certain that legal obligations are being met. The next two training stages can, and should, be delivered by the employer, on site. Importantly, these two elements should be delivered under close supervision by someone with appropriate knowledge. 2. Specific job training Normally, this follows basic training and, like basic training, this should take place ‘off the job’ – away from production and other pressures. It will be tailored to the employer’s needs and include, where appropriate: the operating principles and controls of the forklift to be used routine inspection and servicing of that truck use of the truck in conditions that the operator will meet at work instruction on site rules training in the work to be carried out This vital training element gives your operators a working knowledge and understanding of the equipment that they will use day-to-day and, importantly, how their truck should be used in the workplace. 3. Familiarisation training This is carried out ‘on the job’ and under close supervision from an individual with appropriate skills. It allows operators to put into place what has been learned – in normal conditions. This could include: applying the skills learned in basic / specific training becoming familiar with the forklift activities of the employer any other feature of the work which it is not practicable to teach ‘off the job’ e.g. site layout, local emergency procedures Why go beyond ‘basic’? Most companies recognise the importance of ‘basic’ training. But this alone doesn’t give your operators the tools, skills and knowledge necessary to work as safely and efficiently as possible in their role, with their equipment, in their working environment. Missing out on specific job and familiarisation training does more harm than just helping you fall foul of the law. It means your business will lose out on the enhanced safety, productivity and profitability associated with properly trained operators; and instead, you’ll be at higher risk of accidents, injuries and costly damage. These two additional stages shouldn’t be considered a luxury or even optional; they are a legal requirement. This essential training ensures your workforce fully recognises and appreciates the challenges and risks they’ll face every shift. Most importantly, oversight of these stages is likely to mean your operators will miss out on the close supervision they need in the first few weeks to ensure that they’re working safely. This is crucial, with statistics showing that a new starter is more than three times more likely to be injured in the first six months of employment than a long-standing member of staff (more about that next time). By delivering the three types of training as prescribed by the HSE, you equip your workforce with the skills, knowledge and confidence necessary to keep them and their colleagues working as safely and efficiently as possible.

__label__cc	0.630226	0.369774	Maxine Waters Encourages ‘Resistance’ to “Knock Off” Trump Unhinged Congresswoman spews more incendiary rhetoric Paul Joseph Watson \| Infowars.com - September 17, 2018 Comments Congresswoman Maxine Waters is under fire for spouting more incendiary rhetoric after she gave a speech in which she called for leftists and Democrats to “knock off” President Trump. “There are those who say, ‘What if we get rid of him? Then we’ve got that Vice President and he’ll be worse.’ I say knock off the first one and then go after the second one,’” said Waters. The comments were made during an event in Washington DC on Friday night where Waters received a “diversity” award. Maxine Waters: “There are those who say, ‘What if we get rid of him? Then we’ve got that Vice President and he’ll be worse.’ I say knock off the first one and then go after the second one.” But it's Trump who is inciting violence & division. Yeah, OK. pic.twitter.com/eBlhQ7BE5u — Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) September 17, 2018 While Waters will undoubtedly claim that her words meant to politically take down Trump, one of the meanings of the phrase “knock off” is widely understood to mean to kill someone. Given the innumerable examples of Trump supporters being violently attacked for supporting the president, Waters’ remarks are only likely to exacerbate the problem. Earlier this month, Republican congressional candidate Rudy Peters was confronted by a knife-wielding leftists screaming “f*ck Trump” in an incident that was not even covered by CNN or several other mainstream news networks. Waters’ words also fly in the face of claims by Democrats that it’s Trump who is responsible for pushing divisive, hateful rhetoric. Back in June, the California lawmaker stoked controversy when she encouraged supporters to harass Trump administration officials. “Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere,” said Waters. Infowars has been banned by Facebook. Please help by sharing this article on your own Facebook page.

Around the time of implantation, certain cells within the blastocyst (an early stage of embryonic development) organize themselves into a group that will give rise to the body of the offspring. This marks the beginning of the embryonic period of development. The offspring is called an embryo until the end of the eighth week, after which it is a fetus.

This organ serves to attach the embryo to the uterine wall, to exchange nutrients, gases, and wastes between the maternal blood and the embryonic blood, and to secrete hormones. The embryo is shaped like a tadpole and is one-fifth of an inch long, about the size of a pea. Its heart has been beating for about a week. The head is defined, with eyes and rudiments of ears visible, and inside there is the beginning of a brain. So far, there are no bones. Tiny bumps are beginning to bulge where arms and legs will form. A week later, the embryo has grown to the size of a bean; the limb buds will have grown into little paws. The head has enlarged to accommodate the rapidly growing brain. The arms and hands become recognizable before the legs. From the third month on, all sorts of finishing touches will be put on. Fingernails appear around the ninth week. Eyelids, formed at the beginning of the third month, seal the eyes shut like a newborn kitten’s until their development is completed. Facial features gradually shift: the eyes move closer together and the ear lobes move up where they belong from the earlier position low on the head. Lips form, cheeks fill out, taste buds develop on the tongue, and salivary glands come into being. The sex organs begin to produce the primitive eggs and male germ cells that are the seeds of the next generation - even as a woman is becoming a mother, her baby is preparing to make her a grandmother.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0117.json.gz/line15025
__label__wiki	0.959143	0.959143	Family Reference Group members Other sources of support INQUEST Campaigns INQUEST BBC Radio 4 Appeal 2018 Briefings and submissions Inquest Law Magazine Lawyers Group Five years since police shooting, mother of Azelle Rodney still waiting for inquiry into her son's death On 30 March 2010 the Justice Secretary announced through a written statement to parliament that he intended to set up an inquiry under the Inquiries Act 2005 to investigate the circumstances relating to the death of Azelle Rodney, shot dead by Metropolitan Police officers on 30 April 2005, to avoid any further delay for the family. A month has passed and no further progress has been made. On the fifth anniversary of his death, Azelle’s mother, Susan Alexander, is still waiting for details of who will chair the inquiry, its terms of reference and when it will begin. Her lawyer, Daniel Machover, partner at Hickman and Rose Solicitors, has written to the Justice Secretary seeking further information urgently about what steps have been taken towards holding the inquiry as speedily as practicable. However major concerns remain about whether such an inquiry will satisfy the requirements of an article 2-compliant investigation and allow for the proper participation of Azelle Rodney’s mother so that all her questions can be answered. The proposed inquiry will take place as an inquest could not proceed because of problems with the admissibility of intelligence evidence. This led to the controversial proposals for secret inquests that were rejected by parliament. Susan Alexander is very concerned that a significant part of the inquiry could be held in secret, with her being excluded from the hearings when secret evidence is looked at and discussed with witnesses, but she now wants to see if the judge appointed to head the inquiry will be brave enough to support her right to see this evidence. In their detailed letter her lawyers are seeking answers to the following questions: Has a protocol been put in place to cover the procedure for establishing the inquiry? (This protocol is referred to in the Secretary of State’s Written Ministerial Statement.) Has the Lord Chancellor written to the Lord Chief Justice seeking his approval to the appointment of a senior judge to chair the inquiry? Has there been a meeting between the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice? If so, when did this meeting take place? Has the Lord Chief Justice proposed anyone to chair the inquiry? Has the Secretary of State nominated a chair? Has the Lord Chief Justice approved the appointment of a judge to chair the inquiry? Have the terms of reference of the inquiry been prepared? If yes, can we have a copy or draft? Has the Lord Chancellor requested that HM Coroner Andrew Walker suspend the inquest into the death of Azelle Rodney on the grounds that it is likely to be adequately investigated by an inquiry under the Inquiries Act 2005? When can our client expect any information or Written Ministerial Statement announcing the identity of the chair? What timetable is in place for the inquiry to be set up and carried out? Susan Alexander said: It has been a long, emotional and drawn out five years and I have tirelessly campaign responsible for every week of delay in this case since September 2007, which is over two and a half of the five years since the shooting. It is a disgrace that Susan does not even have a timetable for the inquiry as she enters her sixth year of mourning for her son. The government must at least acknowledge that this delay has breached Susan’s human rights as it is their fault that a ‘prompt investigation’ (which includes an inquest or inquiry where witnesses give evidence and conclusions about the death are reached) has not finished in this case. The public has also been badly let down, because the full lessons of how to avoid similar deaths in future have not and cannot be learned until the investigations reaches a public conclusion after hearing all the evidence. Helen Shaw, Co-Director of INQUEST, said: Not only is Susan Alexander still waiting for answers to why her son was shot dead by the police but she has found herself at the centre of political controversy over secret inquests. This inquiry is the first held under the Inquiries Act 2005 as a substitute for an inquest and we will be monitoring the process closely to ensure it fully and fearlessly examines the circumstances of Azelle Rodney’s death, and does not set any dangerous precedents in closing down public scrutiny and accountability following a death involving state agents. Azelle Rodney in died in April 2005 after a police operation in north London in which he was shot seven times. After his death, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) conducted an investigation and a file was passed to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and in July 2006 the CPS announced that there was “insufficient evidence to disclose a realistic prospect of conviction against any officer for any offence in relation to the fatal shooting”. After the CPS decision the family was told by the coroner that the full inquest could not be held because large portions of the police officers’ statements had been redacted under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (Ripa) 2000, which covers information obtained from covert surveillance devices such as telephone taps or bugs. Azelle was shot seven times after the car he was in was ordered to halt in a ‘hard stop’ after being under police surveillance for over three hours in Edgware, north London. Two men were later convicted for firearms offences but there was no evidence that Azelle was armed at the time of the shooting.

__label__wiki	0.885094	0.885094	New Hampshire Delegation Drops in Bipartisanship Standings After Loss of Ayotte New Hampshire’s standing as a bulwark of bipartisanship slipped significantly in the wake of the replacement of moderate Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte with a thus far more partisan member, Sen. Maggie Hassan. The newest Lugar Center -McCourt School Bipartisan Index measuring bipartisanship in Congress has been released. Their analysis of the first year of the 115thCongress finds that, while Sen. Ayotte was the 12thmost bipartisan US Senator in the previous Congress, Sen. Hassan currently ranks 71st in reaching across the partisan aisle among the Senate’s 100 members. “It’s one of the most dramatic shifts we’ve seen, no doubt,”Dan Diller, Director of Policy at the Lugar Center, told NHJournal.com. The Lugar Center bases its analysis on sponsorship and co-sponsorship of legislation. The more bills a member co-sponsors that were proposed by members of the other party—or the more often a member gets bipartisan support for his own legislation—the higher a member’s ranking goes. “We also treat members of the majority and minority parties differently, because they tend to behave differently,” Diller told NHJournal.com. “Members of the majority tend to sponsor more bills in general, for example. So we’re not comparing Sen. Hassan with Sen. Ayotte. We compare each senator to how other senators in the majority or minority have behaved when it comes to supporting bipartisan legislation.” While the drop from Ayotte to Hassan was most dramatic, the entire New Hampshire delegation overall displayed less bipartisanship in the first year of the Trump presidency. For example, in the 114thCongress—which ended after the 2016 election—Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen was the 34thmost bipartisan senator. In the first year of the new Congress her bipartisanship ranking has fallen to 56th. The same for Democratic Rep. Anne Kuster. Her standing fell from the 64thmost bipartisan member of the House (out of 435 members) to 83rd—despite having the same leadership in Congress for both parties. And replacing Republican Frank Guinta (Rank: 129) with Democrat Carol Shea-Porter (Rank: 283) in the 1st Congressional district didn’t help, either. The decline of bipartisanship in New Hampshire reflects Congress as a whole according to former Sen. Richard Lugar, one of the founders of the Lugar Center. “Our 2017 Bipartisan Index rankings show that both Houses of Congress remain below average for the fifth straight Congress when measured against the historic baseline,” Lugar said. In comments to NHJournal.com, Lugar added: “New Hampshire’s representatives in Congress have demonstrated strong bipartisanship in the past. And while in 2017 the overall bipartisanship scores of the New Hampshire delegation declined significantly, there is still time to improve before the end of the 115th Congress.” When it comes to bipartisanship, Maine Republican Susan Collins has been at the top of the US Senate list for three Congresses in a row. Before that, Colins came in second—to fellow Maine Republican Olympia Snowe.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0117.json.gz/line15029
__label__wiki	0.967021	0.967021	Why Are New Hampshire Democratic Women Giving Biden A Pass? Neil Levesque, director of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm’s College, tells USA Today he doesn’t expect tales of Joe Biden’s handsy behavior to have much impact on the vice president’s support among Granite Staters. “Many voters are saying this is kind of minor compared to what we’ve seen in the past with candidates and accusations,” Levesque said. And after hearing the deafening silence from Democratic women leaders in New Hampshire, it’s hard to argue with his conclusion. The report from WMUR’s John DiStaso is must-see TV for feminists and progressives who want to understand where the state’s Democratic Party leadership truly is on this issue. Responding to the report of the first woman to come forward, Lucy Flores of New Mexico, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen–perhaps the most influential Democrat in the state–carefully avoided any criticism of Biden. Instead, she described Flores’ description of Biden’s uninvited touching as out of character. “I was surprised by the allegation because that is not what I have seen from the Vice President,” Shaheen said — despite both years of the vice president publicly engaging in such behavior (often on video) and her own personal encounter with the hair-obsessed pol. While they’ve been supportive of Flores, not one of the three Democratic women in the New Hampshire delegation has condemned Biden’s behavior. “I commend Ms. Flores’ courage for sharing her story,” Congresswoman Annie Kuster said. “I’m confident that Vice President Biden will use this opportunity to listen and learn from this conversation.” In fact, some New Hampshire Democratic women went out of their way to defend Biden. State Sen. Martha Hennessey (D-Hanover) went so far as to question the integrity of Ms. Flores. “I just can’t help but see this as a political maneuver,” she told WMUR, adding “I think it belittles those of us who have had serious assaults.” How many Granite State Democratic women does Sen. Hennessey speak for? How many progressive New Hampshire women agree? Based on their public statements–all of them. Not a single progressive women’s organization in the Granite State has issued a public statement condemning Biden’s behavior, or challenging the Democratic leaders defending him. From Wednesday’s Washington Post Since the WMUR report first aired, three more women who’ve been groped or grabbed by Joe Biden have publicly shared their stories. But none of these New Hampshire Democratic women have spoken out or amended their comments. Sen. Hassan’s Twitter feed, for example, is currently a treasure trove of #GrrlPower tweets on Women’s History month, #EqualPayDay and the like. But not one word about Biden. Democrats who adamantly refuse to go on the record point the finger at Shaheen who, they say, has let it be known that Biden bashing is frowned upon by the state’s senior senator. That makes pragmatic political sense, particularly given her relatively weak standing in the latest polls. Having an old-school Democrat like Biden at the top of the ticket will mean Shaheen won’t have to spend 2020 defending far-Left, unpopular proposals like the Green New Deal. But what about the state’s progressive activists? Will these feminist women “speak truth to power,” or will they continue to put partisan goals first? UPDATE: Joe Biden has posted a statement about the controversy on social media. Two words it does not contain: “Apologize” or “sorry.” Social norms are changing. I understand that, and I’ve heard what these women are saying. Politics to me has always been about making connections, but I will be more mindful about respecting personal space in the future. That’s my responsibility and I will meet it. pic.twitter.com/Ya2mf5ODts — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) April 3, 2019	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0117.json.gz/line15030

The 2015 retreat included readings by each participant of the work done there. The lodge at Lost Lake Woods Club overlooks a small lake bordered by forest. The 2015 instructors were Phillip Sterling of Ferris State University and Anne-Marie Oomen of Interlochen. Lost Lake's 10,000 acres of forest include four other small lakes. A farewell cookout by a lake ended the 2015 retreat. Inspiration Alcona's first writers retreat was a successful small test to determine whether such an event could draw students to our location. With just two teachers, we were able to bring twelve students during early June. On quizzing both interested people who could not accommodate the date and the students who did come, we found that a fall date would be more attractive.

__label__cc	0.735364	0.264636	Home > Car Insurance > Don't shoot yourself in the foot: When to file that auto insurance claim Don't shoot yourself in the foot: When to file that auto insurance claim By Insure.com - Last updated: May. 14, 2011 While car insurance companies insist they want to know about even the smallest accident, but if your deductible is more than the cost of your repairs, you're better off paying the repair bills yourself and not reporting the damage to your insurer. There's no law that requires you to report an accident to your car insurance company, and you should remember that every report you file with your auto insurer (even if the damage is less than your deductible) goes on your insurance record. Robert Passmore of the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI), an industry trade group, says that insurance companies always want to know about accidents, even when repairs cost less than your deductible. Even though failing to report an accident to your insurance company is not a crime, most policies specify that your insurer may have no duty to cover your accident if you haven't reported it promptly. "It's something to be aware of," Passmore says. A small claim is unlikely to affect your individual premium, he adds. But your car insurance rates can be affected when multiple claims start adding up. So when should you file a claim on your car insurance policy? Common sense says if the repairs cost less than your deductible you're better off paying for them on your own and keeping the story to yourself. If you already have a track record of problems on your record, like a speeding ticket, check with your state's department of insurance to find out what its regulations are on nonrenewal. If filing a claim for an at-fault accident, in addition to your previous ticket, would make you a mark for nonrenewal, think twice about filing. But if another car is involved, or you have a passenger in your car, consider reporting the incident to your insurer in order to protect your own financial interests. "You never know what's going to arise out of an accident," Passmore says. "You never know who might come out of the woodwork and make a claim against you. [If unreported] it puts your insurer at a disadvantage to defend you." In some cases, especially where no bodily injury is involved, you may be tempted to personally settle the damages with the other party without involving your car insurance company or the police. But be careful — especially if you weren't at fault and suffered damages. "What's very common is that people underestimate how much it's going to cost to fix their car," Passmore says. "They see an indentation in their bumper and think it's going to cost $50 or $100, but they might be surprised." In addition, because injuries are not always immediately apparent, you should report an accident in case you sustain injuries that show up a day or two after the accident and need medical treatment. Accidents should be reported to police because it provides a neutral and written account of the accident. It also gives your insurance company documentation of the accident, including time, date, conditions, injuries, if any, and responsibility. What the car insurance company sees Once you contact your auto insurance company, be prepared to have the information remain in your file and dog you if you change insurance carriers. Auto insurers share information on policyholders' histories. But when the damage is extensive, it's appropriate to take advantage of the insurance you've paid for. Jeff McCollum, spokesperson for State Farm, says that most insurance companies evaluate accidents and property damage on a case-by-case basis for potential premium increases. Many insurers, including State Farm, tend to be lenient with your first accident or moving violation. However, there are many variables, including the scope and size of the accident and the nature of the moving violation. "For somebody who has a good driving record and has a fender-bender, that's really not going to change the way you're looked at," McCollum says. "But someone with a history of accidents and claims is going to be looked at differently." After multiple claims, possibly even your second, your rates could see an increase, he adds. Because of the potential for a rate increase or nonrenewal, you may want to view your car insurance like your home insurance: Plan ahead to pay out of your own pocket for smaller repairs and save your claims for significant damage. 0 Responses to "Don't shoot yourself in the foot: When to file that auto insurance claim"	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0117.json.gz/line15033

Asia Pacific Jets has placed an order for 10 Nextant Aerospace400XT aircraft, which is being called the only FAA-certifiedremanufacturedbusiness jet. Ten Nextant 400XT aircraft will be delivered over a period of three years. A portion of the jets will be outfitted as 400XT air ambulances, whereas others will gain the normal 400XT business jet configuration. Asia Pacific Jets will serve as a sales agent in Asia for the 400XT. The company also has partnered with Hong Kong-based AirMed Asia, a subsidiary of AirMed International. The first two of the 10-aircraft order will be delivered by the end of 2012--a timeframe that aligns with the opening of a new Singapore base being launched by Asia Pacific Jets and AirMed Asia later this year. Kenneth C. Ricci, chief executive officer of Nextant Aerospace, is pleased to see the Nextant 400XT “aircraft begin service on the Asian continent. With more than 15 400XT aircraft now in operation across the globe, feedback from operators has been outstanding. We are elated that the aircraft is performing so well for its owners, and look forward to introducing this groundbreaking aircraft to additional markets around the world.” “We know based on our extensive experience flying the Beechjet 400A/XP as an air ambulance that the aircraft provides great versatility for air medical services. The Nextant 400XT will offer AirMed Asia and our partners at Asia Pacific Jets everything we like about the Beechjet, and everything one would expect from a brand-new light jet, but at a fraction of the cost,” says Jeffrey Tolbert, the chief executive officer of AirMed International. “This includes range that will enable nonstop flights from our Singapore base as far west as Mumbai, India, and as far north as Shanghai, China, along with the absolute lowest operating cost basis in its class.” The Nextant 400XT features a remanufactured Beechjet 400A/XP airframe enhanced with state-of-the-art technology, including the Williams FJ44-3AP turbofan engine, the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 integrated avionics suite, new interiors, and advanced electronics, including high-speed wireless Internet service.

Out of Line, a group exhibition at the Well Hung Gallery in Hoxton, explores the different representations of the body. Benjamin Murphy, an east London based graphic artist, uses layered electrical tape in his portraits to create striking monochrome scenes. He started using tape whilst studying for a masters in contemporary fine art in Salford, displaying artworks in bars around Manchester before moving to London. “I hadn’t really found my own ‘style’, whatever that means, back then, so I was experimenting with lots of different mediums,” says Murphy. “I also planned to do a big drawing in a field with weed killer, but luckily discovered tape and became fairly hooked. “I did a nine-story tape drawing for Anti-Slavery International and all of a sudden the Independent and other publications were telling everyone I was an electrical tape artist, before I’d actually decided that it was going to be my main medium.” As well as Anti-Slavery International, Murphy has collaborated with a number of charities, including the Hepatitis C Trust, the Teenage Cancer Trust and Amnesty International, for whom he created the window artwork that can still be seen on their New Inn Yard office. A writer and avid reader as well as artist, Murphy says his work is influenced by the literary greats such as Sylvia Plath, Edgar Allan Poe and Albert Camus. “I’m a voracious reader and so a book takes me around as much time to complete as an artwork does, which is convenient.

__label__wiki	0.854964	0.854964	Four indicted, charged with organized crime after stealing LPD officer’s gun from car By KCBD Staff \| September 10, 2019 at 4:19 PM CDT - Updated September 10 at 11:05 PM LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Three men and one woman have been indicted by a grand jury for organized crime after a string of burglaries, including stealing a Lubbock Police officer’s handgun from his unlocked car. On August 1, police were called to the 4100 block of 123rd Street to respond to a vehicle break-in. Homeowners in the area provided police with doorbell camera and security camera video. There was no sign of forced entry on the vehicle, the officer told investigators he did not lock it. Latent finger prints were taken and later found to belong to 20-year-old Marcus Powell. Police found Powell in the 5200 block of Bangor Avenue. While searching Powell’s apartment, police found a City of Lubbock credit card with the officer’s name on it. The incident report states officers “made it clear to him” (Powell) that they needed the pistol that was stolen. Powell told police he would need to call “Alex," later identified as 20-year-old Anthony Lang, to speak with police. Lang agreed to allow police to search his apartment. While there, police found a sweatshirt matching one seen in security camera footage from the burglary. While at the home, police learned that someone named “Bug" now possessed the pistol. Police also learned “Bug” could be found at Park Tower Apartments. The report states “Bug,” now identified as 21-year-old Ryan Rios was driving a white Saturn SUV, but the car had been damaged and the tires flattened. Police approached the apartment carefuly, according to the report, as they believed the threat would be high that Rios might be armed and try to fight. Rios cooperated and consented for police to search his apartment, the report says. From there, police learned everything Rios might have would be in the car downstairs. Police went down to the damaged car and searched it, finding a shoe box containing the stolen gun and a box of ammunition. The report states the car belonged to Rios’ girlfriend, 22-year-old Desiree McGraw, who arrived at the scene with her father. McGraw told police Rios had called her and told her that her car was broken, without detailing the extent of the damage. The report says when McGraw saw the car, she became visibly upset and informed police she had been dropped off at her house the same night the gun was stolen. In the report, police say text messages from a cell phone belonging to Rios were taken and linked to Anthony Lang, talking about engaging in burglaries. In the texts, Lang asks Rios who will be with him when they go to commit these burglaries, Rios said, “Just me and my girl but we should have at least one more.” Lang replies, “I can wake Marcus up.” The messages stop until the next day, when Rios and Lang discuss selling the gun for $250, until the buyer identified it as an officer’s gun and refused. The report says the two began arguing over who would keep the gun, and the damage to the car, until Lang eventually told Rios to forget everything and delete his texts. Lang tried multiple times to get Rios to realize that police were investigating, before police arrived to speak with Marcus Powell. Powell identified the subjects in security camera footage as Lang and Rios, who he knew as “Bug.” Powell told police about burglarizing vehicles in the Rush Neighborhood, as well as Brooke Heights, as Rios’ Girlfriend, Desiree McGraw, drove them in the white SUV, the report says. Rios, Lang, Powell and McGraw were indicted on charges of organized crime for the burglaries and held on bonds of $40,000. Police say the officer involved has been formally disciplined.

__label__wiki	0.710738	0.710738	New demonstration shows how Ford driving technology can help reduce phantom traffic jams In Germany, the annual summer exodus of holidaying families to the warmer southern regions is such a phenomenon that it has its own nickname: the “Blechlawine” – or “metal avalanche”. On these extra-busy roads – commonplace across Europe during the summer holiday season –so-called phantom traffic jams often occur, seemingly out of nowhere. These frustrating jams are easily caused by human factors – such as merging into traffic without signalling, distracted driving, poor driving habits and reaction times, or unnecessary braking. Once one driver hits the brakes, a chain reaction can occur as other drivers tap their brakes, causing the flow of traffic to grind to a halt. Now, Ford and researchers from Vanderbilt University, a private research university in Tennessee, U.S., have demonstrated that such hold-ups could be minimised with widespread use of technology already offered on Ford vehicles from the Fiesta small car to the Transit van. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) technology can automatically slow down and speed up to keep pace with the car in front without getting fatigued or distracted. “A fun summer holiday family road trip can quickly become irritating when traffic slows to a crawl – especially once you learn there was no reason for the gridlock,” said Torsten Wey, manager, Driver Assistance and Safety Technology, Ford of Europe. “We encourage Ford owners who have Adaptive Cruise Control to use it during their summer travels in the hope this smart technology today can be that first step to help ease commutes.” On a closed Ford test track, 36 drivers simulated normal highway traffic using ACC technology. Those drivers then drove the same course, but without the technology – meaning they had to manually brake and accelerate the vehicle. The results: vehicles using ACC reduced the impact of a braking event more than those vehicles without the activated technology. Even with just one in three vehicles using ACC, the test yielded similar traffic-busting benefits. See the effects for yourself in the short film: “For years, traffic researchers and engineers have been looking to smart vehicle technologies to reduce traffic congestion, whether that’s vehicles that talk to each other or vehicles that can predict the road ahead,” said Daniel Work, civil engineering professor at Vanderbilt University. “This demonstration was a unique opportunity to understand how commercially-available active driver-assist technologies can be used to positively influence traffic flow.” Ford currently offers Adaptive Cruise Control on 80 per cent of the company’s passenger and commercial vehicle line-up in Europe, and with the all-new Ford Focus recently introduced an enhanced version of the technology featuring Stop & Go, Speed Sign Recognition and Lane-Centring functionality for effortlessly negotiating stop-start traffic. A previous EU-funded joint research project led from the Ford Research and Innovation Centre, Aachen, Germany, concluded that vehicles equipped with ACC and Forward Collision Warning technology could help prevent or mitigate the effects of more than 5 per cent of motorway accidents resulting in injuries; save drivers more than 3 million hours per year stuck in traffic; and reduce passenger car fuel consumption by 3 per cent.

Jared Jaros’ senior season couldn’t have started out any better. The Lincoln standout was scoring over 22 points per game, while his unbeaten Patriots were on their way to a win over cross-town rival Roosevelt. That’s the moment Jaros suffered what appeared to be a significant knee injury. “When you see a guy go down like that and you’re at an opposing gym, and the whole gym goes quiet, you know there’s a lot of people concerned for him,” Lincoln Head Coach Jeff Halseth said. “I was laying down there and I didn’t really feel anything afterwards. So I remember people telling me that’s how ACL’s work. So as I was laying there, I’m not going to lie, I was kind of thinking it was done,” Lincoln Senior Jared Jaros said. As he sat on the bench watching his teammates finish off a win over the Rough Riders, Jaros says some anger set in. “Just sitting there, wanting to help out and I couldn’t, it was the worst feeling ever,” Jaros said. As Jaros headed into the doctor’s office, his coach told him to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. “That’s when he told me it wasn’t an ACL because there was no swelling or anything. Once I heard that I was like alright, I can’t miss any more time,” Jaros said. Jared would miss the Patriots’ game against Marshall, Minnesota, but returned to practice last week. “Very first practice coming back we didn’t allow him any full stuff. Then the second day he was still a little hesitant, but that last day he got in full speed and did all of the drills,” Halseth said. The senior says mentally rebounding from the injury was the toughest part, though all concerns quickly disappeared last Friday. “Once the tip-off came Friday against St. Paul Central, it just all went away. I didn’t feel anything,” Jaros said. Jaros is glad to have this scare behind him so he can go back to his enjoying his senior season. “Going back out there with the team, that’s all I wanted. Felt great to get back out there with them,” Jaros said. Jaros posted 25 points in his first game back against St. Paul Central, while scoring 21 in Lincoln’s win over defending champion Yankton. LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - Third-ranked Kansas and Kansas State ended their bitter showdown with a wild melee behind the basket that included punches, shoving and at least one player picking up a stool.

__label__wiki	0.583656	0.583656	About that email By Daniel Sieradski April 5, 2009 9:14 pm In the past decade, citizen journalists have proven themselves an integral part of the media landscape and their contributions to breaking stories, raising awareness of neglected issues and promoting dialogue within the Jewish community are self-evident. This is why JTA routinely cites bloggers in its coverage and why JTA recently launched its own blog aggregator to highlight Jewish bloggers’ content. JTA’s own reporters have also embraced blogging and Twittering — our blogs are actually our top-viewed content — and our organization has moved beyond paying mere lip service to citizen media by actually launching a Jewish social news site and user generated content (UGC) channel. I will therefore be the first to admit that Friday’s fundraising letter was ill-advised and regrettable. The characterization of bloggers and Twitterers as "non-professional" and unreliable was not only counterproductive but arguably false. Worse yet, by seemingly attacking the blogosphere and Twittersphere, JTA has turned itself into a straw man in the battle between old and new media. And maybe we deserve it. That the sentence was even considered in the first place is enough to redden my cheeks. But, as new media professionals hyperventilate in offense (no doubt, I was the first to reach for my paper bag), let the underlying point of Friday’s letter not be lost. JTA’s goal was not to besmirch nor undermine the credibility of new media professionals or amateurs. Indeed, my efforts here for the last year and a half in developing JTA’s UGC assets should be testament enough to that fact. Rather, the organization’s intent was to express its belief — and one that I share — that without traditional media to provide primary coverage, aggregators such as blogs will have little worth aggregating and digesting. We may kid ourselves otherwise, but following all the Jewish Twitterers in the world will never satisfactorily replace competent in-depth reporting and analysis by credible and professional journalists, whether reporting from a war zone or our own back yards. We clearly need autonomous voices — they are as important to the process as we are, providing a check-and-balance on traditional media. However, few individuals can attain the means to devote themselves to providing in-depth coverage without institutional support and the legitimacy which grants access to sources. That’s what makes JTA so important and worthy of your support. More so, without traditional media enterprises to provide jobs and credibility to authors, in the long run bloggers will have fewer incentives to produce quality material. Let’s be honest: For writers, blogging and Twittering are rarely ends unto themselves. They’re the means to expand one’s reach and grow one’s reputation so that one can land better paying gigs. When first-tier publishers go belly up and all that’s left are second-tier aggregators that crib others’ content, who’s going to pay writers to write? Every day more of the bloggers you know and love are openly pleading for freelance work, while the publishers they rely on are scaling back coverage or shuttering their doors all together. Can independent journalists honestly expect to pay the bills with Adsense revenue alone? What then will become of quality journalism? Clay Shirky says that the old systems will break "before new systems are in place." But that’s going to mean a whole lot of waiting around for new systems to emerge while a lot of journalists go hungry and Jews go uninformed into an uncertain future. That’s not an inevitability JTA is eager to accept, whether we articulate that adequately in our fundraising pitches or not.

Finally, the man from Frankfurt Roman Flugel works his magic as always on the stripped and minimal deep house journey "Mice On A Stick" which is full of soothing bell textures, dusty drum patterns and dreamy melodies all working together great on this dramatic slow burner.

Although it was on hold for much of the second decade of this millennium, it has been successfully resurrected and now gives the same platform to Theo Kottis. In keeping with its usual format, this instalment sees the Beautiful Strangers boss explore a range of styles and sound across two mixes. Accordingly, his selection ranges from Gigi Masin's melodic piano composition, "Maja", to the Mountain People's sensuous deep house "La Onda", taking in some underground classics like DJ Assassin's garage/house hybrid "Face in the Crowd" as well as left of centre oddities like The Horn's "Villager". It's a fitting testament to the Nubreed aesthetic.

It takes in the entirety of the 10 volume edition - what an effort. What may seem as an outrageous challenge - what with the compilation's genre diversity and wide rage of tempos - it's a success, for they've certainly found the right candidate. Cinnaman plays a wide range of styles anyway, and is never afraid to mix the known with the unknown - he has a reputation for his remarkable combinations and transitions. From moments of sublime ambience (Italian ambient legend Gigi Masin with the utterly evocative "Maja") to bass heavy electro bounce (courtesy of Egyptian Lover or Syracuse & Epsilove), right through to techno bangers of the cerebral variety (by Donato Dozzy & Peter Van Hoesen or local hero Talismann) and stuff by Bufiman or Tony Allen - it's a solid effort here by one of Holland's finest selectors.

__label__wiki	0.867026	0.867026	Impeachment now in hands of U.S. Senate by: Trevor Shirley WASHINGTON (Nexstar) — The impeachment of President Donald Trump is now in the hands of the U.S. Senate. The House of Representatives voted to send those articles over earlier today. That action triggers a Senate trial to determine whether the President is removed from office. With that, Democrats want the process to be impartial. “I hope to see a fair trial and I hope we get to the point that we have witnesses,” said Rep. Robin Kelly (D-IL). Whether to call witnesses in the trial remains a major sticking point. Indiana Republican Congressman Jim Banks warns Democrats to be careful what they wish for. “Mitch McConnell, other Republican leaders have already said if the Democrats call witnesses, the Republicans will call witnesses too and that would likely include Hunter Biden, Adam Schiff and others who have drug this country through the mud,” said Banks. Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan, a Democrat from Ohio, says in the end, Senators won’t have a choice. “the American people are learning more and more about this and I think the senate is going to end up caving and they’re going to have to allow witnesses to testify,” said Ryan. That would be fine for Indiana Republican Senator Mike Braun. “All along, I’ve said I was ok with that, as long as it’s reciprocal,” said Braun. President Trump says his first choice would be to have the Senate simply dismiss the Articles of Impeachment, but Republicans are not backing that plan. “It needs to go through the proper procedures, have the trial, and listen to both sides,” said Braun. The trial’s expected starting day is Tuesday. It could take anywhere from a few weeks to more than a month to complete.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0117.json.gz/line15073

I am 20 years old. I am a bold progressive. My boyfriend is a Dreamer. I worked for your party as a field organizer in 2016. I cast my first vote for Bernie and my second for Hillary. This is a warning. Working-class Tennesseans are tired of being forced to choose between the lesser of two evils. The Tennessee Democratic Party stopped being competitive when it stopped being the party of working people. As I organized around the state in 2016, I talked with countless voters who told me that they were Democrats until the Democrats left them. How did that happen? We became the party of the Phil Bredesens. As governor, Phil Bredesen kicked thousands of people off of Tenncare. Phil Bredesen bragged about his role in stripping undocumented people of their right to driver’s licenses. Phil Bredesen wants to expand the war on drugs. Phil Bredesen approves of Trump’s corporate tax cuts. Phil Bredesen was open to confirming Trump’s corporatist Supreme Court nominee. Phil Bredesen oversaw the ban on same-sex marriage in Tennessee. Phil Bredesen is not our future. Tennessee is struggling. Morristown is still reeling from the arrest and deportation of nearly 100 undocumented community members last April. Tennessee is the No. 1 state for minimum wage jobs. We have some of the lowest union membership rates in the country. Some 300,000 people still don’t have health care because of our refusal to expand Medicaid. Thousands of college students graduate every semester with debilitating student loan debt. Minority communities are being devastated by police violence, the school-to-prison pipeline and neoliberal economics. Tennesseans are desperate for a diverse, working-class revolution, but all the Tennessee Democratic Party offers us is rich, white, centrist men. Tennessee is 50th in voter turnout for reason. Wake up, Tennessee Democratic Party! Noah Nordstrom, Knoxville Can't afford a border wall Marsha Blackburn, who advocates for a border wall, has dodged the question of how to pay for it. Whether or not it would have a significant impact on illegal immigration is debatable. In fact, over the president’s objections, funding for the border wall was not included in the recent continuing resolutions bill, which was passed to avoid a government shutdown. Since the tax cut was passed last December, federal spending is running higher and revenues lower, indicating a fiscal year-end deficit of over $1 trillion. Congress understands that even more spending on a border wall would not be prudent. Mexico is not planning to pay for the wall, and Tennesseans do not want to pay higher taxes to pay for the wall. The Democratic candidate, Phil Bredesen, has expressed concern over the U.S. national debt, which all of us owe. We may not have to pay off this debt any time soon, but we do have to pay interest on it every year. The treasury cannot keep up with all the spending, and now it has to borrow more money to cover its interest payments to bondholders. Many economists believe that has been a significant factor in the recent rise in interest rates. It is clear the U.S. cannot afford the border wall. We should start paying attention to responsible government finance rather than funding a short-lived economic boom by irresponsible spending and tax cuts.

__label__wiki	0.729861	0.729861	Leviev Fails to Win Injunction Against Julius Klein September 23, 2013 by Rob Bates A New York civil court judge has denied a petition from Lev Leviev’s LGC USA Holdings for an injunction against New York City diamond powerhouse Julius Klein Group Holdings, part of what the Israeli billionaire’s company calls a messy “corporate divorce.” A Sept. 20 ruling, noting the two parties are currently in arbitration over their partnership, suggested that was a better venue for this dispute. The petititon, filed in New York State Court on Sept. 17, centers on three businesses that Leviev owns jointly with Julius Klein: Julius Klein Diamonds LLC; Sunrise Ventures; and KLG, which manages the Leviev retail chain. According to the petition, Leviev and Julius Klein have been trying for a year to negotiate through arbitration a separation to the partnership. In its legal papers, LGC claimed that Julius Klein has “deliberately delayed” selecting an arbitrator, and that LGC “has been wrongly frozen out” of the operations of those businesses, which have taken actions—such as selling the Ritani site—without LGC’s content. The need for immediate action was prompted, the petition argued, by the August theft at a Leviev store in Cannes. LGC complained in the filing that KLG has not kept it apprised of the status of the insurance claims. LGG sought the injunction to, among other things, block JKD from taking significant actions regarding the business—including distributing insurance funds from the theft—without LGC’s consent, and to receive “full access” to the business’ books and records. The failed petition’s contentions were firmly disputed by Julius Klein’s CEO, Martin Klein, in a Sept. 18 affirmation filed with the court. “My cousin and I have always run the companies,” he said. “Neither LGC or Leviev has ever been involved in the management of the operations of the companies.” He said that he had met with Leviev twice a year, and “never received any complaints” about how the businesses operated. He added that if LGC received veto power over the companies’ operations, it “would effectively cripple” their ability to do business. The parties’ arbitration proceedings will continue, according to a Julius Klein statement.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0117.json.gz/line15080

__label__cc	0.745461	0.254539	Trending > Cancer AUG 17, 2019 08:44 AM PDT New method to stop metastasis in lymph nodes WRITTEN BY: Kathryn DeMuth Sullivan Research reported recently in ACS Nano explains a new method of targeting metastases in lymph nodes as a means of preventing the spread of cancers. The approach could provide novel treatment methods for patients vulnerable to metastasis, the process during which cancer cells separate from the primary tumor to form tumors at other sites. Metastasis is leading cause of cancer deaths. This strategy targets lymph nodes because metastatic cancer usually spreads first to these glands through small vessels called lymphatics, which carry immune cells and fluid. While most conventional treatment options utilize biopsies of the lymph nodes to see if metastasis has occurred, taking a biopsy is an invasive procedure that can cause pain and infection. Instead of biopsies, the method developed by researchers Hong-Jun Li, Jin-Zhi Du and colleagues uses a nanoparticle delivery tool, called iCluster. iCluster is already used as a nanoparticle delivery tool to bring chemotherapies directly to tumors, but by injecting iCluster combined with a red dye into mice with tumors, the researchers figured out that iCluster is also capable of entering a tumor and passing through the lymphatics. Using fluorescent imaging, the scientists saw that this mechanism provides a channel to target the lymph nodes directly and potentially treat metastases. The study concluded that 40% of the treated mice treated with iCluster were still alive 110 days following the removal of the tumor; in comparison, those mice that did not receive treatment from iCluster before the removal of tumors all died from metastases within 51 days of surgery. Additionally, while the iCluster-treated mice lived longer, they also were seen to have far fewer tumors than untreated mice. The authors explain their findings, stating, “Here, we uncovered that improved perfusion in a primary tumor facilitates nanoparticle translocation to lymph nodes for inhibiting tumor metastasis. On the basis of our finding that an iCluster platform…markedly improved particle perfusion in the interstitium of the primary tumor, we further revealed in the current study that such tumor-specific size transition promoted particle intravasation into tumor lymphatics and migration into lymph nodes.” Sources: Science Daily, ACS Nano Kathryn DeMuth Sullivan Kathryn is a curious world-traveller interested in the intersection between nature, culture, history, and people.

__label__cc	0.52816	0.47184	2019 Women’s World Cup Tips and Previews The 2019 Women’s World Cup in France is now onto the knockout stages after group play had plenty of drama in it and we will be previewing every game throughout the tournament as we approach the World Cup Final in Paris on July 8 (AEST). Check out our previews and predictions for every Women’s World Cup match right here! 2019 Women’s World Cup Final USA Vs Netherlands Monday 8 July, 1:00am, Stade de Lyon So there we have it, the USA has made another World Cup Final and they will take on the Netherlands this time. Not a bad effort for a Dutch side that is only making their second World Cup appearance. It does cap off a fairly successful couple of years for this team having won the European Championship in 2017 and now they get the chance to knock off the defending World Champions. As for the USA, well they haven’t exactly looked invincible throughout this tournament. They needed England’s penalty luck in major tournaments to stay exactly the same as it has always been to get through their semifinal. It’s been a grind rather than a procession but they are doing enough to get through each week and you have to remember, they have won 12 straight matches in 2019 and last lost a World Cup match in 90 minutes in the 2011 Group Stage. They did draw with Sweden in the 2015 Group Stage but since they, it’s been all USA victories since then. As for this game, it’s hard to look past the USA losing here but expecting them to cruise like they did in 2015 might be a bit optimistic. The Dutch can certainly match the Americans and possibly even dictate the terms of the game if they can get out in front early. I’ve backed against the USA in their last two matches but I’m not going to make that mistake here, the defending champions will go back to back for the first time in their history and take out the final in likely tense circumstances. Back the USA to Win (90 Minutes) and Both Teams to Score @ $3.50 England Vs Sweden Sunday 7 July, 1:00am, Stade de Nice This is not a game you want to bet on, the players don’t even really want to play in it (we assume). Let’s just move along and be ready for the final Monday morning. NO BETS England Vs USA Wednesday 3 July, 5:00am, Stade des Alpes England 1 – USA 2 This game is worthy of a World Cup Final in its own right but we’ll have to settle for the winner getting a spot in the decider instead. Expect more than a few George Washington, Boston Tea Party and other not at all dated references from the USA if they do manage to beat England here. While the Americans have justifiably grabbed the headlines throughout the tournament, this English side has something very special going about it. The USA have had to ride their luck through the knockout stages, getting the benefit of a 50/50 handball decision late on against France that could have levelled the match at 2-2. What is undeniable about that side is the form of Megan Rapinoe who has scored all four of her team’s goals in the knockout phase and is worth a look in the Anytime Goalscorer market. As for the result though, I’m not all that confident in the USA’s ability to weather another storm and England is playing really well, showing a ruthless edge. It’s impossible to rule out extra time here so it might be worth taking the insurance on offer in the “To Qualify” Market instead of taking the high price of England in 90 minutes. Back England To Qualify @ $2.65 Netherlands Vs Sweden Thursday 4 July, 5:00am, Stade des Alpes Netherlands 1 – Sweden 0 (A.E.T) While all the hype and hoopla will focus on the other semi, this one should be an excellent game to watch as well. The Dutch have gone about their business throughout the tournament with minimal fuss, seeing off Japan in the Round of 16 before keeping a clean sheet against a determined Italian side. The Swedes will fear nobody after knocking off Germany and have reached the semi finals with contributions from throughout the squad. They have had eight different goalscorers so far, which isn’t great if you’re looking for a player to back but it does mean that the Dutch will have to be on their guard. With the attacking power on both sides, the Both Teams to Score market looks to be a good play considering it has hit three times for both sides in this tournament. As for the result, I’ll give the slight edge to the Dutch and back them to get the job done in 90 minutes. Back the Netherlands to Win (90 Minutes) and Both Teams to Score @ $5.00 Norway Vs England Friday 28 June, 5:00am, Stade Oceane Norway 0 – England 3 Australia’s conquerors take on Australia’s oldest sporting foe. Look there’s got to be a reason to watch this game and that might just be the angle to take. Norway were the better side against the Matildas, there’s no sugar coating that but they are going to be the second best side on paper here. If England can take control of the game early, they should be able to keep the Norwegians at arms length and book a semi final spot. At anything over even money you have to like the value on offer for the English side. Back England to Win (90 Minutes) @ $2.05 France Vs USA Saturday 29 June, 5:00am, Parc des Princes France 1 – USA 2 It’s not a coincidence that the European sides are doing so well in this World Cup on home turf and no side has a great home ground advantage here than tournament hosts France. This is a clash that will be worth of a final as these two heavyweights go at it. You can’t work around the truth that the USA were well below average getting by Spain in the last round and while France did have a real battle to get by Brazil in extra time, they were pushed by a good side. I’m happy to back the French to send the Parc des Princes into raptures here with a win over the defending champions and tournament heavy weights in 90 minutes. Either way this is going to be an excellent clash whatever the outcome. Back France to Win (90 Minutes) @ $3.30 Italy Vs Netherlands Saturday 29 June, 11:00pm, Stade du Hainaut Italy 0 – Netherlands 2 The one quarter final that kicks off at a semi-decent time in Australia and it’s the second all European clash. Italy hasn’t conceded since Sam Kerr’s penalty rebound in their first match, while the both teams to score market has hit in the Dutch’s last three. I’m going to back Italy’s wall to be broken down here at least once but I’m having a hard time splitting these two on the scoreboard so I think I’m going to have to back a 90 minute draw. Back Both Teams to Score & a Draw (90 Minutes) @ $4.40 Germany Vs Sweden Sunday 30 June, 2:30am, Roazhon Park Germany 1 – Sweden 2 Realistically, this game should be closer to Germany’s win over Spain in the Group Stage than their last two wins over South Africa and Nigeria. Outside of their clash with Thailand, Sweden have played a very similar style to the Germans, keeping three clean sheets and opting to win tight, defensive games instead of trying to outscore their opponents. The under is the way to go in this one since two goals will be enough to win this one, even though both sides have plenty of attacking firepower, we’re seeing defence dominate so far. Every game in the Round of 16 had three or fewer goals and with a lot of close games, don’t be surprised if that trend continues. Back Germany to Win (90 Minutes) and Under 3.5 Goals @ $2.25 Germany Vs Nigeria Sunday 23 June, 1:30am, Stade des Alpes Germany 3 – Nigeria 0 Germany’s progression to the Round of 16 could not have gone much smoother, winning all three games and not conceding a single goal in that time. Both sides will be well rested going into this game but there’s no need to dress this up as anything more than what it is, a huge mismatch in Germany’s favour. The value number in the Win/Goals double is 3.5 where you have a decision to make and I’m going to back under since I like Germany to keep a clean sheet and don’t think they’ll go crazy scoring more than necessary. Add in the fact Nigeria was kept scoreless by both European opponents in the Group Stage and it doesn’t seem likely they’ll get through a stout German defence. A comfortable 2-0 or 3-0 win is what I keep coming back to so that’s what I’ll back here. Back Germany to Win and Under 3.5 Goals @ $2.10 Norway Vs Australia Sunday 23 June, 5:00am, Stade de Nice Norway 1 (4) – Australia 1 (1) (Penalties) These sides actually met in March of last year and it was a 95th minute winner from Larissa Crummer that gave the Australians a 4-3 victory in the Algarve Cup. Of course plenty has gone on since then but it’s fair to say that this is a match between two relatively even sides and there is plenty of value plays in the market for this one so we are going to go for a Same Game Multi. You can back a few goals in this one with some confidence considering that the Matildas haven’t exactly looked stable at the back and have conceded in their last five matches, in their win over Jamaica, it was the first time in that run they had not conceded multiple goals. Even though Norway has had two penalties and two own goals already in the tournament, they have overcome the absence of Ballon D’Or winner Ada Hergerberg by spreading out their goalscoring responsibilities. For the Matildas there is only one player to look at to score at this point in time and that is the captain Sam Kerr who, as long as she believes she is the best player on the pitch, will find a way to score. Then, and this is perhaps the riskiest part of the bet but I’m going to back the Matildas to win, in large part because they are gradually improving and if this turns into a shootout, they have more gamebreakers. Back the Matildas to Win (90 Minutes), Both Teams to Score and Sam Kerr AGS [SGM] @ $6.44 England Vs Cameroon Monday 24 June, 1:30am, Stade du Hainaut England 3 – Cameroon 0 For Cameroon, their qualification to the Round of 16 was dramatic enough with a 95th minute winner in their last group game. Unfortunately they have just 72 hours to turn around for their knockout match with England so it’s going to be a massive task to overhaul one of the tournament favourites. Much like the Germany game, 3.5 goals is the magic number in the doubles market and I am expecting England to crush them here. Back England to Win & Over 3.5 Goals @ $2.20 France Vs Brazil Monday 24 June, 5:00am, Stade Oceane France 2 – Brazil 1 (A.E.T) This will be the first big test for the tournament hosts as they on a Brazil side that has survived what turned out to be the group of death. Thanks to the fact Brazil only scored three goals against Jamaica, they drew the short straw having to face France earlier than they would have been hoping. I’m happy to back the hosts to get through here but I do think Brazil will be a tough out and they’ll need to score at least two to get through. Back France to Win and Both Teams to Score @ $3.10 Spain Vs USA Tuesday 25 June, 1:30am, Stade Auguste-Delaune Spain 1 – USA 2 These two sides took very different paths to the knockout stage, the USA scored for fun in Group F, averaging six goals per game (helped by 13 against Thailand) and keeping three clean sheets. Considering defence was their big worry going into the tournament, their stout defending against Sweden and Chile has to be encouraging now that it moves to the sudden death stage. Spain will be a tough out and plays a very tight, compact style so don’t expect a huge blowout in this game, instead the USA will have to make the most of the few clear cut chances they will get. With Spain playing so deep, they probably won’t get too many chances themselves so I’m happy to back the USA to keep a clean sheet. Back USA to Win to Nil @ $2.38 Sweden Vs Canada Tuesday 25 June, 5:00am, Parc des Princes Sweden 1 – Canada 0 It’s not exactly going out on a limb to think that not every favourite is going to win this round so you have to pick your spots with an upset play. This one is probably in contention with Australia-Norway for the most evenly balanced clash so this is going to be the upset play. At $3.40, Sweden looks way over the odds and if they can get an early lead, I just don’t see Canada having the firepower to pull the game back. Back Sweden to Win (90 Minutes) @ $3.40 Italy Vs China Wednesday 26 June, 1:30am, Stade de la Mosson Italy 2 – China 0 If you were surprised at Italy winning Group C then you weren’t alone but you shouldn’t be surprised they made it to the knockout phase looking at how they played. China got through a tough Group B in third place thanks to a draw with Spain in the final day and conceding one goal in three matches should serve as a warning sign to Italy that they will have to break through a brick wall to score here. One goal might be enough for them though as China only scored once in group play as well. There’s enough value in Italy in the 90 minutes market so I’m happy to back them outright here and bank on them to do the job without needing extra time or penalties. Back Italy to Win (90 Minutes) @ $1.83 Netherlands Vs Japan Wednesday 26 June, 5:00am, Roazhon Park Netherlands 2 – Japan 1 Japan hasn’t looked like the side that is the defending Asian Champions and made the World Cup Final four years ago. Admittedly being in a group with England hasn’t help play them into form but there are plenty of warning signs about one of the favourites possibly heading out early. The Dutch side haven’t exactly blown everyone away but have shown the maturity to close out teams and I’m leaning towards taking them to do it again here. This one was a lot tougher to pick than on first pass, but I’m going to stick with the Dutch in 90 minutes because they have looked a lot stronger throughout this tournament. Back Netherlands to Win (90 Minutes) @ $1.83 France Vs South Korea Saturday 8 June, 5:00am, Parc des Princes France 4 – South Korea 0 The tournament hosts are bringing some strong form into this one, winning their last five and keeping three clean sheets on the way. In that time they have prepared for this game by facing South Koreas continental rivals Japan, Thailand and China, the latter two coming in the last fortnight. Unfortunately, the market is equally confident in a French win, making them too short to back. You’ll have to go searching for a bit of value here but considering this France side scored three or more goals in four of their five warm up matches the total markets might be where to look. Back France to Score 3+ Goals @ $1.80 Germany Vs China Saturday 8 June, 11:00pm, Roazhon Park Germany 1 – China 0 Much like the tournament opener, this one can simply be summed up by one sentence, “Germany by how much?” It’s going to be a common theme throughout the group stage but you’ll have to go hunting for value. The Germans should dominate this game and also keep a clean sheet against a Chinese side that really does struggle for goals when playing up. They only scored 2 goals in March’s Algarve Cup and they might have to wait a bit to break their duck in this tournament. Back Germany to Win to Nil @ $2.00 Spain Vs South Africa Sunday 9 June, 2:00am, Stade Oceane Spain 3 – South Africa 1 Another opening round mismatch as Spain is expected to cruise past the South Africans. This is also the first game where to find some value you’ll either have to back a high scoring encounter or rock fight. The Spanish side has had two tough draws in the lead up to this tournament but it’s been a rough build up for South Africa, going down to Norway 7-2. Because of that, I’ll take a high scoring affair and find some value in the goal scoring markets. Back Over 4.5 Goals @ $4.00 Norway Vs Nigeria Sunday 9 June, 5:00am, Stade Auguste-Delaune Norway 3 – Nigeria 0 From one side that was on the wrong end of a hammering in a warm up match to the team that delivered the hammering, Norway. If you’re detecting a theme here, you’re right, I’m expecting plenty of goals in this World Cup and this match will be no different. The thing about Nigeria though, they aren’t a bad team and should be able to get onto the scoreboard as well so I’ll back the both teams to score market in the doubles for some value. Back Norway to Win & Both Teams to Score @ $3.00 Australia Vs Italy Sunday 9 June, 9:00pm, Stade du Hainaut Australia 1 – Italy 2 Now for the game everyone has been looking forward to, the Matildas opening their campaign against Italy. We all know it’s been a rough build up for the Australian girls with the replacing of the coach and some players struggling to reach full health in the lead up to the tournament. Thankfully it is a (relatively) soft landing when they take on Italy and you have to like them to deliver on the big stage here. Sam Kerr is yet to score a World Cup goal but is one of those players that shines when the pressure is greatest. Because of that, she is certainly worth backing in the goalscorer markets but I’ll keep this one simple and just back an Australian win outright. Back Australia to Win @ $1.62 Brazil Vs Jamaica Sunday 9 June, 11:30pm, Stade des Alpes Brazil 3 – Jamaica 0 You know what? You don’t have to bet on every match in this World Cup and this is one that screams stay away. Brazil is coming into this one without any warm up matches, although you could argue playing Jamaica is as good as a warm up here. Because of that, I’m happy to just watch and see what Marta & company do ahead of their clash with Australia. NO BET England Vs Scotland Monday 10 June, 2:00am, Stade de Nice England 2 – Scotland 1 Whether it’s men’s football or women’s football, a clash between England and Scotland is definitely one to tune in for. While Phil Neville’s side did lose to New Zealand in their final warm up match, that’s not enough to shake my confidence in them, especially since the jokes about England at major tournament’s only really apply to the men’s team. I’m expecting the English side to come out and show just why they are one of the tournament favourites with a comfortable win. Back England to Win to Nil @ $1.73 Argentina Vs Japan Argentina 0 – Japan 0 You would be forgiven for thinking that this would be a runaway win for Argentina just going off the form of the mens sides for these countries, but here, Japan is the powerhouse team expected to win this one. The defending Asian champions gave themselves the toughest possible preparation over the last couple of months, losing to France before drawing with Germany and Spain. So while their form line might not look that great, that does need to come with the caveat of who it was played against. Argentina are not a side of that calibre and that is reflected in the market, you can expect a big win for Japan. Back Japan to Win -2 Goals @ $1.85 Canada Vs Cameroon Tuesday 11 June, 5:00am, Stade de la Mosson Canada 1 – Cameroon 0 Cameroon are one of those teams that will be happy to come away from the World Cup with a point but it’s unlikely it will come against Canada here. Like a lot of these early matches there is not a whole lot of value on offer in the markets so you’ll have to go searching and if you’re expecting this to be a big Canadian win, then you’ll find a play. We’ll go back to what was a winning play from the first match and back Canada to score a few goals. Back Canada to Score 3+ Goals @ $1.87 New Zealand Vs Netherlands Tuesday 11 June, 11:00pm, Stade Oceane New Zealand 0 – Netherlands 1 We’ve already had one upset in the World Cup Group Stage and can New Zealand pick up another one? Well in short, they beat England in a warm up friendly but it won’t be a similar result here, the Dutch are tournament heavyweights for a reason. It might not be totally smooth sailing though and I’m happy to take on the Dutch in a high scoring affair. Back the Netherlands to Win & Over 2.5 Goals @ $1.95 Chile Vs Sweden Chile 0 – Sweden 2 The upsets are starting to roll in during the World Cup right now so can Chile win its first international match since April last year in the Copa America? It’s still a big ask to overcome a Swedish side that knows it needs all three points in a tough group with the USA. In their two most recent games they have been able to win while keeping a clean sheet which is massive and it also means they won’t need to go too many goals to win. Back Sweden to Win and Under 3.5 Goals @ $1.80 USA Vs Thailand Wednesday 12 June, 5:00am, Stade Auguste-Delaune USA 13 – Thailand 0 If any side is coming into this tournament in excellent form, it’s the USA. That side has won their last six matches, keeping five clean sheets and outscoring their opponents 23-3. Thailand’s last match saw them lose to Belgium 6-1 so even scoring one against the USA would be a huge moral victory. The markets for this game all favour a huge US win and you have to give them a massive headstart in the handicap market that it’s not worth taking the risk of the US maybe getting an early lead and going into cruise control to try and start preparing for their next match with Chile. Nigeria Vs South Korea Wednesday 12 June, 11:00pm, Stade des Alpes Nigeria 2 – South Korea 0 Group A followed the script in its opening matches and the two sides that went down against heavily fancied opponents now face off in what might be their best chance to pick up a win at this tournament. South Korea went down to France in the first match by a pretty convincing 4-0 scoreline and it wasn’t much better for Nigeria who gave up three to Norway. Both of these teams can score a couple of goals here and there but neither one seems overly tight defensively so I’m having a hard time splitting them. Thankfully there’s a draw option here so that’s the play for this game. Back the Draw @ $3.30 Germany Vs Spain Thursday 13 June, 2:00am, Stade du Hainaut Germany 1 – Spain 0 Group B’s two heavyweights got their campaigns off to winning starts as Spain left it late to get past a 10-player South African side while Germany only needed one goal to defeat China. The Germans go into this game as slight favourites, unbeaten in their last ten matches (winning nine) and keeping seven clean sheets in that time. Spain can compete with the Germans but at the end of the day, you have to back the heavyweights and tournament favourites. Back Germany to Win @ $2.10 France Vs Norway Thursday 13 June, 5:00am, Stade de Nice France 2 – Norway 1 Chances are Norway will provide a much sterner test for France that what South Korea did in the tournament opener. Both of these sides will expect to go through to the knockout stages and the winner of this will likely top Group A. In a straight up tipping competition you have to like France here but you’ll need to search for a bit of value in the market. I’ll back France in the Half Time/Full Time double as that has been a winner in five of their last six matches and they are more than capable of getting off to another strong start. Back France Half Time/Full Time @ $2.00 Australia Vs Brazil Friday 14 June, 2:00am, Stade de la Mosson Australia 3 – Brazil 2 Have we overrated the Matildas and their chances at this tournament? Well it depends, if you believed they were tournament favourites then yes, absolutely but if you expected them to top the group and at least make a run, then no. Up next is a clash against Brazil that is absolutely a must win after dropping three points already, and it is their toughest group game by far. A hat-trick from Cristiane guided Brazil past Jamaica and with superstar Marta still yet to take part, it’s fair to say they present a much more potent attacking threat to the Matildas high backline. If you think Milicic is able to get a reaction out of his players then they are at great value to win this game but I’m happy to steer clear of a game that is not too easy to predict the result on. Instead I’ll back over 2.5 goals as I think both teams will score and someone is going to win this game. South Africa Vs China Friday 14 June, 5:00am, Parc des Princes South Africa 0 – China 1 It was almost the upset to rock the World Cup as South Africa gave up two late goals (after having Nothando Vilakazi controversially sent off) to go down to Spain. The question here is do you expect them to be able to bounce back from that disappointment as they have a (slightly) more winnable game against China. That might be a worthwhile play if you’re looking for a big money upset but it’s hard to see China having as low of a conversion rate if the South Africans allow 27 shots again. So the tip for this game is China to win, but for betting value, you’ll have to look to the total goals market and backing over two and a half goals is the way to go. Japan Vs Scotland Friday 14 June, 11:00pm, Stade du Hainaut Japan 2 – Scotland 1 Safe to say Japan didn’t look like themselves after being held to an unlikely draw against Argentina in their opening match. They dominated possession but couldn’t generate enough chances to break down a dogged opponent and they’re in for a tough outing against a Scotland side that played England close on Monday. I’m going to stick with Japan here since I do think they are the better side. Thankfully the head to head market has plenty of value in it and I’m happy to get on Japan outright here. Back Japan to Win @ $1.73 Jamaica Vs Italy Saturday 15 June, 2:00am, Stade Auguste-Delaune Jamaica 0 – Italy 5 Well, Italy is definitely a stronger side than initially giving them credit for, so what will they do against Jamaica here? All three points will almost certainly book a ticket to the knockout stages depending on the Australia-Brazil result. Here it’s as simple as Italy by how much? Jamaica won’t invite as many clear chances by playing a high line but that will allow the Italian midfielders to operate closer to the goal and generate more chances. England Vs Argentina Saturday 15 June, 5:00am, Stade Oceane England 1 – Argentina 0 Any chance of England taking Argentina lightly was thrown out the window when a resolute defensive effort got Argentina its first Women’s World Cup point. They’ll put out a pretty similar gameplan when they take on England and while they are outclassed all over the pitch, it might not be easy for the English side. If they can hold out for a half the damage might not be too bad and I think they’ll find a way to frustrate England for a while and keep this as a relatively low scoring clash. Back England to Win & Under 3.5 Goals @ $2.05 Netherlands Vs Cameroon Netherlands 3 – Cameroon 1 Group E gets its second round of games underway with the Dutch side heavily favoured over Cameroon who lost their first match to Canada. There were a grand total of two goals across the first round of matches and that trend of low scoring matches could continue here. I like the Netherlands to win and keep a clean sheet in this one, they have now kept four straight while Cameroon has been kept scoreless in its last two internationals. It’s not the greatest value play but it certainly looks like the best option in a market that is scarce on good options. Back Netherlands to Win to Nil @ $1.57 Canada Vs New Zealand Canada 2 – New Zealand 0 Canada needed just the one goal to get through the opening game of the World Cup and now have a chance to accelerate towards the knockout stages with a win over New Zealand. Much like in the other game I’m happy to take the favourites to win and keep a clean sheet as it looks like defence will be the key to success in this group. Back Canada to Win to Nil @ $2.05 Sweden Vs Thailand Sunday 16 June, 11:00pm, Stade de Nice Sweden 5 – Thailand 1 Thailand can’t be as bad as they were against the USA right? Well it gets only marginally easier with the Swedes up next and they are more than capable of putting the Thai team to the sword. The big question for having a bet on this game is how confident you are in Sweden’s ability to run up the score on an opponent that has had their confidence rocked. It’s a bit of a harsh reality in a competition like this when one team is so clearly out of their depth, so it’s worth having a small bet on a big Sweden win. Back Sweden to Win -5 Goals @ $2.05 USA Vs Chile Monday 17 June, 2:00am, Parc des Princes USA 3 – Chile 0 How on earth will the USA follow up their first act, scoring a bakers dozen on Thailand. Chile could give them trouble but it’s hard to see them holding out for 90 minutes… I’m fully expecting them to continue their ruthless streak and enjoy it with some more creative celebrations as well. Back USA to Win -4 Goals @ $1.95 China Vs Spain Tuesday 18 June, 2:00am, Stade Oceane China 0 – Spain 0 After both sides beat South Africa and went down to Germany, it’s winner take all in the final clash of Group B. While you would expect three points to be enough to still qualify for the knockouts, it does mean the loser in this one will have to wait for the other groups to finish to ensure they can progress. If you are just going off their tournament records then this could be an even match but Spain is a much better side and could be good value at anything around even money. Back Spain to Win @ $1.91 South Africa Vs Germany South Africa 0 – Germany 4 There’s really not a lot of intrigue to this one, Germany is through to the knockouts as winners of Group B and no matter what side they put out, should be able to outclass a South African side that has been gallant but ultimately unsuccessful so far. Just getting a goal against the tournament heavyweights would be a moral victory here but that could be a big ask considering Spain and China couldn’t break through. With nothing left to play for other than preserving health and a perfect group record, I’m happy to go for a value play and back a German win without a clean sheet. Back Germany to Win and Both Teams to Score @ $3.30 Nigeria Vs France Tuesday 18 June, 5:00am, Roazhon Park Nigeria 0 – France 1 Nigeria has it all to play for here while the tournament hosts are looking to advance with a perfect total of nine points. With Norway expected to take care of South Korea in the other Group A match being played at the same time, Nigeria needs to pick up a point (or more) to give help secure their standing as one of the best third place teams. That being said, with the gap in class between these two sides, I just don’t have the confidence in Nigeria to get anything from this. The value just isn’t there for France considering they may take this match at half speed with an eye on the knockouts. South Korea Vs Norway Tuesday 18 June, 5:00am, Stade du Hainaut South Korea 1 – Norway 2 Let’s just get this out of the way, Norway will win this game, so the question here is how many goals will be scored. The over 2.5 has hit in both of their group matches so far and you have to like their chances to put a few past South Korea who has conceded six in its two matches so far. Back Norway to Win & Over 2.5 Goals @ $2.10 Jamaica Vs Australia Wednesday 19 June, 5:00am, Stade des Alpes Jamaica 1 – Australia 4 Isn’t it nice everyone is back on the Matildas bandwagon? It might not have been the most aesthetically pleasing performance but that comeback against Brazil showed this team has the resilience to grind out the results they need. Here they have a lot of pressure to put up a rugby score against a Jamaican side that was ripped apart by Italy in their last match. A win will put the pressure on Brazil in their match with Italy and if the Brazilians pick up a win, that could open up a potential top spot finish on goal difference. While they haven’t exactly been lighting up the scoreboard, this could be a great chance to boost the tallies of a few players. Back Australia to Win -3 Goals @ $2.00 Italy Vs Brazil Wednesday 19 June, 5:00am, Stade du Hainaut Italy 0 – Brazil 1 While we as Australians will be watching the Matildas play, it’s definitely worth keeping a second screen running with this game on at the same time. Italy has advanced to the knockout stage already and a draw (or win) will secure top spot in Group C. Knowing that is on the line, they should go out at full strength against a Brazil side that needs all three points from this one as well. You can’t help but be impressed with the way the Italians have approached this tournament and as slight underdogs here, they are at good value to win. Back Italy to Win @ $2.75 Japan Vs England Japan 0 – England 2 Group D has been a real arm wrestle for the teams involved but it looks like England will get through to the knockout phase. They’ve got a tough outing against Japan but a draw will be enough for both sides to hold their current placings. The question is whether or not Japan will try and push for a winner to steal top spot and an easier path through the knockout stages. Chances are both sides will be happy with this finishing as a draw and they can move on to the knockout stages relatively unscathed. Scotland Vs Argentina Thursday 20 June, 5:00am, Parc des Princes Scotland 3 – Argentina 3 It’s highly unlikely that Argentina will be able to get by Japan in the Group D standings so for both themselves and Scotland, this is all about positioning the winner to get through as one of the four best third placed sides. Remarkably, Argentina is in the better position going into this game having stolen an unlikely point off Japan in their first match after going into the tournament as projected easy-beats. Argentina have been experts at frustrating opponents and are more than capable of upsetting Scotland here but I’m not confident enough to back that outcome. Instead, I’ll take Under 2.5 Goals considering there has only been one goal in 180 minutes of Argentina matches. Back Under 2.5 Goals @ $1.80 Cameroon Vs New Zealand Cameroon 2 – New Zealand 1 For both of these sides, this is could be their final involvement in the 2019 Women’s World Cup. Assuming there is a winner in the Argentina-Scotland match, whoever wins this one could overtake Nigeria so long as Cameroon scores two or New Zealand scores three. Realistically, you can make a great argument for both sides to win this one so instead I’ll dip into the doubles market and back both teams to score and over 2.5 goals. Back Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 Goals @ $2.10 Netherlands Vs Canada Friday 21 June, 2:00am, Stade Auguste-Delaune Netherlands 2 – Canada 1 The Dutch are in a great position here, draw against Canada and they win Group E, setting up a knockout clash with Japan (or England). The Dutch haven’t looked like themselves just yet but with this being their toughest test yet, I’m expecting them to find another gear. Canada is still yet to concede in the tournament which is impressive but this Dutch side still the better team so I’ll back them to win. Back the Netherlands to Win @ $2.55 Sweden Vs USA Sweden 0 – USA 2 The USA really took their foot off the accelerator in their 3-0 win over Chile, resting Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe and still cruising home. Sweden also won its first two matches, accounting for Thailand 5-1 in their last outing but did leave it late in their opener against Chile. We should see plenty of goals in what is reasonable to presume will be a USA win since they wouldn’t dare risk resting their best attacker two matches in a row. Back the USA to Win and Over 2.5 Goals @ $1.95 Thailand Vs Chile Friday 21 June, 5:00am, Roazhon Park Thailand 0 – Chile 2 Even with Chile on a grand total of 0 points with 0 goals scored from their two opening matches, facing Thailand could still catapult their way into the knockout stage. To do that they need to win by at least five to get themselves back to a neutral goal difference, and as the last group to play, they will at least be able to know exactly what they need to do. I’ll back them to win and score a few goals here through the doubles market to at least give themselves a chance to pull of what would be a very impressive progression.

And, once again, the government is relying on part on text messages that it says helps to prove its case. The SEC’s Enforcement Division alleged that Thomas Gonnella solicited the assistance of Ryan King to evade a policy at his firm that penalizes traders financially if they hold securities for too long. Gonnella arranged for King, who worked at a different firm, to purchase several securities with the understanding that Gonnella would repurchase them at a profit for King’s firm, according to the charges. By parking the securities in King’s trading book in order to reset the holding period when he repurchased them, Gonnella’s intention was to avoid incurring any charges to his trading profits and ultimately his bonus for having aged inventory, the SEC alleged. The alleged round-trip trades caused Gonnella’s firm to lose approximately $174,000. The SEC’s Enforcement Division alleged that after Gonnella’s supervisor began inquiring about the trades, Gonnella and King took steps to evade detection by interposing an interdealer broker in subsequent transactions and communicating by cell phone to avoid having conversations recorded by their firms. Gonnella and King were eventually fired by their firms for the misconduct, the SEC said. King, who has cooperated with the SEC investigation, agreed to settle the charges by disgorging his profits and being barred from the securities industry. Any additional financial penalties will be determined at a later date. The SEC said that its litigation against Gonnella continues in a proceeding before an administrative law judge. “Gonnella conducted trades for the purpose of avoiding his firm’s aged-inventory policy and protecting his own bonus,” said Andrew M. Calamari, director of the SEC’s New York Regional Office. “Even though Gonnella misled his employer and resorted to text messages on his cell phone to avoid detection, his tricks failed and we are holding him accountable for these deceptive trades.” According to the SEC’s administrative orders, Gonnella parked a total of 10 securities with King. The SEC asserted that the scheme began on May 31, 2011, when Gonnella offered to sell King several asset-backed bonds issued by Bayview Commercial Asset Trust (BAYC). According to the SEC, Gonnella wrote in an instant message to King, “i have 4 small bonds that i’m looking to turnover today for good ol’ month end/aging purposes ... i like these bonds ... and would more than likely have a higher bid for these later this wk when the calendar turns ...” Gonnella’s reference to “aging purposes” was his firm’s aged-inventory policy, the SEC said. After King agreed, Gonnella sold him the securities and repurchased them before they had even settled in the account at King’s firm, the charges alleged. The SEC’s Enforcement Division alleged that Gonnella contacted King again a few months later on August 29, writing, “let’s talk tmrw. Have some aged bonds that I might offer you, if you’re game ... maybe do what we did a few months ago w/ some of those bayc’s ...” After Gonnella sold three BAYC bonds to King, he repurchased two but did not immediately repurchase the other security, according to the SEC. As alleged, he later did so at a loss to King’s firm, but made them whole by selling two other bonds at prices favorable to King’s firm and unfavorable to his own firm. King then used the resulting profit on the two bonds to offset the original loss incurred, the SEC asserted. The SEC alleged that, as their scheme began to unravel, Gonnella and King discussed their trading plans via cell phone and text messaging in an effort to avoid detection – and that cell phone records showed that they rarely contacted one another that way in the prior four years. For example, the SEC said, after discussing some trades in instant messages, Gonnella told King, “Check your text [messages] in like 3 minutes.” King allegedly responded, “haha, ok ... sneaky sneaky.” The order against Gonnella alleged that he willfully violated Sections 17(a)(1) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5. The order alleged that he willfully aided and abetted and caused violations of Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 17a-3. The order against King found that he willfully aided and abetted and caused Gonnella’s violations. The SEC said that it took into account King’s cooperation when agreeing to the settlement. King agreed to pay disgorgement of $22,606.80 and prejudgment interest of $1,503.66. The cease-and-desist order bars King from associating with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization as well as participating in any penny stock offering, with the right to apply for re-entry after three years.

__label__cc	0.686398	0.313602	So, Google has let the cat out of the bag. In papers filed to a San Jose court yesterday, the ‘Don’t be evil’ high-tech giant asserted that users of its free Gmail email service should have ‘no legitimate expectation of privacy’. Its argument in a motion to dismiss a class action accusing it of breaching wiretapping laws is based partly on the claim that Gmail users give implied consent to the automated processing of emails. I’d like to think that no legal professional would transmit client confidential information across a free webmail service like Gmail or its competitors, but given the state of IT knowledge in parts of the sector I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens. But this is emphatically not a problem with just one company, or one species of email. Coming on top of revelations about email scanning by intelligence agencies, Google’s claim merely emphasises what IT experts have said for a long time: conventional email is not a secure medium. Bluntly, legal professionals who treat it as such ought to be in trouble. Of course some leaders of the profession are aware of the problem. Significantly, in his first major interview last month, Law Society president Nicholas Fluck raised the risks generated by cross-border transfer of data as a major challenge ahead. The solution, as insisted upon by the government and parts of the medical profession, is to encrypt emails. Off-the-shelf products are available and can be integrated with familiar email systems. Sure, security geeks will tell you that commercial encryption is probably still crackable by the US government’s supercomputers, but it is secure enough for professional purposes. Compliance officers should insist on its use. Lawyers are not the only ones who should worry. As a newspaper reporter I’ve sometimes been startled by the readers’ willingness to risk their careers and sometimes even liberty by leaking documents through unsecured email. However much we may pledge to protect our sources, if anyone really wants to find the culprit the electronic trail is there. For the benefit of any leak-minded Gazette readers, I’m always delighted to discuss safer channels. The time honoured one is over a low-tech, but confidential, pint.

__label__cc	0.715402	0.284598	The Law of One Search Results for ‘intelligent energy in the kinetic phase’ Search type: any / all / phrase. Sort by: relevance / session. 92.13 ▶ Questioner: Thank you. Third: Just as free will taps intelligent infinity which yields intelligent energy which then focuses and creates the densities of this octave of experience, the Potentiator of Mind utilizes its connection with intelligent energy and taps or potentiates the Matrix of the Mind which yields Catalyst of the Mind. Is this correct? Ra: I am Ra. This is thoughtful but confused. The Matrix of the Mind is that which reaches just as the kinetic phase of intelligent infinity, through free will, reaches for the Logos or, in the case of the mind/body/spirit complex the sub-sub-Logos which is the free-will-potentiated beingness of the mind/body/spirit complex; to intelligent infinity, Love, and all that follows from that Logos; to the Matrix or, shall we say, the conscious, waiting self of each entity, the Love or the sub-sub-Logos spinning through free will all those things which may enrich the experience of the Creator by the Creator. It is indeed so that the biases of the potentials of a mind/body/spirit complex cause the catalyst of this entity to be unique and to form a coherent pattern that resembles the dance, full of movement, forming a many-figured tapestry of motion. 92.18 ▶ Questioner: Turning, then, to my analogy or shall we say, example of the newborn infant with the undistorted Matrix, this newborn infant has its subconscious veiled from the Matrix. The second archetype, the Potentiator of Mind, is going to act at some time through— I won’t say through the veil, I don’t think that is a very good way of stating it, but the Potentiator of Mind will act to create a condition, and I will use an example of the infant touching a hot object. The hot object we could take as random catalyst. The infant can either leave its hand on the hot object or rapidly remove it. My question is, is the Potentiator of Mind involved at all in this experience and, if so, how? Ra: I am Ra. The Potentiator of Mind and of Body are both involved in the questing of the infant for new experience. The mind/body/spirit complex which is an infant has one highly developed portion which may be best studied by viewing the Significators of Mind and Body. You notice we do not include the spirit. That portion of a mind/body/spirit complex is not reliably developed in each and every mind/body/spirit complex. Thusly the infant’s significant self, which is the harvest of biases of all previous incarnational experiences, offers to this infant biases with which to meet new experience. However, the portion of the infant which may be articulated by the Matrix of the Mind is indeed unfed by experience and has the bias of reaching for this experience through free will just as intelligent energy in the kinetic phase, through free will, creates the Logos. This sub-sub-Logos, then, or that portion of the mind/body/spirit complex which may be articulated by consideration of the Potentiators of Mind and Body, through free will, chooses to make alterations in its experiential continuum. The results of these experiments in novelty are then recorded in the portion of the mind and body articulated by the Matrices thereof.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0117.json.gz/line15101

Paradox and Impossibility War and Bureaucracy Communication and Miscommunication Gallows Humor Self-interest, Altruism, and Morality John “Yo-Yo” Yossarian Chaplain Tappman Chief White Halfoat and Flume Aarfy Nately’s Whore and her kid sister Milo Minderbinder Colonel Cathcart Colonel Korn Generals Dreedle and Peckem Major Major The Soldier in White Major Danby Catch-22 Chapter 38 Summary & Analysis LitCharts assigns a color and icon to each theme in Catch-22, which you can use to track the themes throughout the work. Yossarian, after Nately’s death, vows not to fly any more missions. He announces this to Piltchard, Wren, Cathcart, and Korn. Cathcart suggests they disappear Yossarian, as they did with Dunbar, but Korn argues, instead, that they should send him on rest leave to Rome. Nately’s death is enough for Yossarian—he no longer wishes to fly at all. It is clear that Nately’s demise in the air brings back echoes of the Snowden Incident, which is recalled with greater frequency in these closing chapters. There, Yossarian encounters Nately’s prostitute, who is extremely distraught to hear of Nately’s death, and who blames Yossarian for it. They begin having an enormous altercation, with Nately’s prostitute nearly killing Yossarian. He finally holds her down and tells her he was not responsible for Nately’s demise, but she won’t listen. Nately’s prostitute has never been more in love with Nately than after finding out that he has died. This perhaps lends truth to the maximum that one “doesn’t know what one has till it’s gone.” After more fighting, Yossarian lands on top of Nately’s prostitute, who pretends that she wants to make love to him. Yossarian is tricked, and she nearly succeeds in killing him. Nately’s prostitute pulls out a bread knife, as does her kid sister, who also enters. Again, the kid sister enters at the least opportune moment—in this case, for Yossarian, who seriously appears that he might die at their hands. Yossarian is chased out into the street by the two women. And as he races to get to the plane to get back to Pianosa, they hide in wait for him and almost stab him on numerous occasions throughout Rome. Yossarian eventually escapes back to Pianosa, but does not know that Nately’s prostitute has hidden herself away in his plane. He discovers her in mechanic’s overalls and manages to subdue her, push her onto the plane, and fly (with Hungry Joe) back to Rome. Hungry Joe holds the plane on the taxiway of the Rome airport, and Yossarian pushes her out of the plane there; the two then high-tail it to Pianosa, where Yossarian tells the other officers about Nately’s prostitute’s behavior. Yossarian’s dangerous encounter with Nately’s prostitute and her kid sister is followed by this long slapstick sequence, which, again, is not intended to seem realistic, but which is rather used by Heller for comic effect, perhaps to lessen the horror of Nately’s death, perhaps to lighten what appears to be the ever-more serious mood of the novel. Nately’s prostitute is perhaps the most consistent character in the novel—willing to follow Yossarian to the ends of the earth. Get the entire Catch-22 LitChart as a printable PDF. Nately’s prostitute returns to Yossarian’s tent and nearly kills him again before being subdued by other officers. Yossarian is informed that he was going to be court-marshaled by his superiors, for refusing to fly, but his medal of valor and 71 missions make such a case difficult to prosecute. Despite his complaining, Yossarian has assembled a significant war record, a certificate of merit, and a promotion in the field—thus making it difficult to argue he has been a derelict soldier. Yossarian lies in his tent and other officers come to him in the night, congratulating him for the stand he is taking against Cathcart and Korn. Appleby and even Havermeyer, who loves flying missions, both tell Yossarian they hope he succeeds. They are worn down by all the flying, and by constant brushes with death. Most shocking of these visitors is Havermeyer, who no longer enjoys flying missions, shaken as he is by McWatt’s death, Nately’s, Dobbs’, and Kid Sampsons’. Yossarian runs into Captain Black one day, when he (Yossarian) has decided once again to flee to Rome, and is walking through the camp backward while brandishing his pistol to make clear that he is getting on a plane to Rome and that no one can make him fly any more missions. Black informs Yossarian that Nately’s prostitute is no longer lying in wait for him, on Pianosa or in Rome, and that the whole apartment complex, run by the old man, where prostitutes gather has been broken up. Yossarian is worried about Nately’s prostitute and her kid sister, and goes to Rome to investigate. Yossarian cannot bear to hear that things in Rome might not be the same—that the war has affected this former paradise, and taken away the possibility that soldiers might go there on rest leave. For Yossarian, war at least seemed bearable if there was a place nearby where he could fully relax, where he could pretend that he might not die in combat at any moment. Schlegel, Chris.

__label__cc	0.559037	0.440963	Ninja Science: Energy Bursts May Be Key to Martial Arts Skills A new method of studying the energy uses of martial artists could improve training. (Image: © Sergey Lukyanov, Shutterstock) The energy spent by martial artists can now be analyzed with the help of devices resembling gas masks combined with mini-jetpacks, researchers say. These findings could help martial artists train to become better fighters, scientists added. Martial arts such as karate, judo and tae kwon do have been popular for years, and mixed martial arts that combine different techniques have been rising in popularity recently. Investigating what the body is doing in a fight could help shed light on what training martial artists might want in order to perform better. Scientists have long been able to study only predictable sports that are easy to replicate under lab conditions, such as cycling, where people essentially stay in one place. Now advances in technology are helping researchers to better study complex and unpredictable sports such as judo. Every sport makes demands on three energy systems: Aerobic metabolism uses oxygen to convert nutrients into energy; when intense bursts of energy are needed, lactic anaerobic metabolism generates energy without oxygen, exclusively from sugars such as glucose, with lactate as a byproduct; and for very short bursts of energy, alactic anaerobic metabolism produces energy without oxygen and without producing lactate. Aerobic sports include long-distance running, anaerobic sports include weight lifting. To figure out the relative contributions of each energy system in judo, scientists had judo practitioners, or judoka, wear portable gas analyzers that look a bit like gas masks as well as mini-jetpacks. This helped measure how much oxygen the judoka consumed while exercising. The scientists also looked at how much oxygen they consumed before and after exercise, and blood lactate concentrations before and after exercise. [See video of judo experiment] In one experiment, the judoka performed three different kinds of throws for five minutes, one every 15 seconds. The researchers found some throws demanded higher aerobic activity, such as seoi-nage, or shoulder throws, while others strongly depended on anaerobic activity, such as harai-goshi, or sweeping hip throws. These findings help reveal what exercises martial artists might want to focus on to help in their training. "Knowing the physiological demands of different exercises and techniques commonly used in judo can improve the way training is directed to the athlete," researcher Emerson Franchini, a sports scientist at the University of São Paolo in Brazil, told LiveScience. "We are also focused on recovery processes between matches — in combat sports, normally athletes perform many matches in the same day, and the recovery between two successive matches can be quite important for performance." The scientists detailed their research online March 20 in the Journal of Visualized Experiments.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0117.json.gz/line15113
__label__wiki	0.953533	0.953533	Why Do People Cry? By Laura Geggel - Associate Editor 2016-05-10T18:23:00Z There are many reasons humans cry. (Image: © Dreamstime.) Tears well up in people's eyes for a slew of reasons. A teardrop running down the cheek is the ultimate symbol of sadness, but people may also cry because they just cut an onion, or maybe they're trying to blink out a rogue eyelash. For the most part, tears help maintain healthy eyes, experts told Live Science. For instance, basal tears flow continuously from the lacrimal glands, or the tiny almond-shaped structure in the inside corner of the eye. When you blink, basal tears clean and lubricate the eyes. This makes the eyes' outer surface smooth, and helps you to see clearly, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Moreover, reflex tears, or those that happen unconsciously, help clear the eyes of irritants, including specks of dust and the sulfur-based gas that's produced when a knife slices a raw onion, said André Silva, a doctoral student of psychology at the University of Minho in Portugal. [Why Does Slicing Onions Make Me Cry?] Emotions can also trigger tears in humans. These emotional tears (also called psychic tears) can serve as a means of nonverbal communication, Silva said. "Babies cry to signal to their mothers [that] something's up," Silva told Live Science in an email. "It's a pure attention call." Some people think that babies are capable of manipulating adults by crying, but that idea is false, Silva said. "This is misleading, as a baby is not conscious of being manipulative: In a way, we can consider these tears as being somewhere between basal/reflex tears and emotional tears." As people grow older, they begin to use their tears to express emotion, such as happiness or sadness. These tears may promote compassion and empathy in others, Silva said. But beware of people who may use their tears to manipulate others, he said. "Some sensitive people may be easily manipulated through the crying of others, and may easily shed tears that can also be used by others to manipulate them," he said. So, emotional tears have both advantages and disadvantages. "It's a powerful communication device and a powerful manipulative device," Silva said. Crying also makes it hard for some people to mask their feelings when they're in the middle of an extreme emotional state, he said. Tear chemistry Basal, reflex and emotional tears each have their own chemistry, studies show. Basal tears have three layers: a thin mucus layer that sits directly on the eye, a watery layer in the middle and a thin oily layer on top that prevents the tear from evaporating, according to Ted-Ed, a site that shares free educational videos. Reflex tears also have these three layers, but these tears have a larger watery portion and higher levels of antibodies that can stop harmful microorganisms as compared to basal tears, TedEd reported. Emotional tears can contain higher levels of stress hormones, including leucine enkephalin, an endorphin and natural painkiller, TedEd said. This may explain the cathartic effect of "a good cry" — which is still debated — in case you need to shed a few tears. Additional reporting by Ben Mauk, Life's Little Mysteries Contributor.

Not only do the bridges connect Imperial to Sugar Land’s busiest thoroughfares,they also provide a touch of historic elegance while connecting walking trails throughout the new development. The expected surge of apartments, homes, commercial real estate ventures, and recreation and sports events necessitates a workable transportation plan and the use of roundabouts and multi-lane roads to ease congestion and keep travelers mobile. Constellation Field is home to the Sugar Land Skeeters baseball team. The streets were designed to accommodate high traffic during stadium events while limiting impact to the surrounding community by incorporating a large amenity-detention pond to minimize water impacts and noise, and to route crowd flow efficiently. The Imperial Tract 3 project is a 745-acre, mixed-use development located in Sugar Land, Texas, catering to commercial, retail, and residential users. To attract home buyers, careful consideration was taken to preserve the charm of nearby landmarks creating a sense of community and connectivity to the area. The development is adjacent to the Imperial Sugar Company’s former refinery site including a char house, warehouse, and elevated storage tank. Single family homes were designed to blend into the historic theme of the area.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0117.json.gz/line15116

__label__cc	0.744793	0.255207	My unit is being auctioned, what should I do? Having your items sold at auction by a storage facility is a final resolution for an overdue account. If you have goods in the unit that you care about, you need to get your storage bill paid and take back possession of your goods. Once a unit is sold, there is no way to get those items back. My storage unit was auctioned. Can I get the buyer's information, so I can ask for some of my items back? No. Lockerfox takes privacy seriously and does not give out any personal information of our bidders. My storage unit was auctioned. Will you pass my contact information to the buyer in hopes of having items returned? Lockerfox will not pass your information along to an auction winner. How much does Lockerfox cost? Lockerfox is a service that provides online bidding for storage auctions. Our fee to use the service is 10% of the winning bid subject to a $10.00 minimum charge. For example, if you win an auction for $250, we'll charge your credit card $25 and you'll need to take $250 (plus any tax or cleaning deposit) to the facility and pay those funds in cash. Why was I charged sales tax on my unit? Each facility determines on their own whether or not to charge sales tax on sold units. Lockerfox is not involved in that decision. If you have questions about sales tax, you would need to speak with the facility. Why do some units show a closed blue door? Those are auctions that aren't open for bidding yet. In many cases we don't show the photos or allow bidding until the first public notice appears in a local paper. Do you have auctions in my area? The easiest way to browse auctions close to you is by putting a zip code into the current auctions page or find storage auctions by state. Do you charge my card for the cost of the locker? No, the winning bid amount, plus any sales tax (and cleaning deposit if applicable) must be paid directly to the storage facility when you pick up your unit. The only thing charged to your card is the buyer's premium. Once the auction closes, is the unit mine? No, you must go to the storage facility and conduct the actual purchase. Please remember some facilities allow the overdue tenant to pay their bill after the auction closes, so time is of the essence in picking up your unit. Always call the storage facility and verify the unit is still available before driving long distances. Why was a car or boat cancelled? Before selling cars and boats, the storage facility must order a lien search to determine if a bank holds a loan on the vehicle. If so, it must notify the financial institution before selling the asset. It's common for the facility to schedule the unit's auction while they are waiting for the paperwork to come back. If the lien search doesn't come back in time, the facility must cancel the auction. Oftentimes these will be back up for auction at a later time, once the lien search comes back. If the tenant pays their bill, what happens? In the case where a tenant pays their bill after the auction closes, but before the winner arrives to purchase the unit, the storage facility will void the win. Any buyer's premium you were charged will automatically be refunded back to your card. You'll get an email if this happens, which will confirm that your premium was refunded. How does bidding work? Each auction has a minimum bid, which is the opening bid amount. All bidding takes place in $10 increments, so you'll normally bump the bid by $10 to become the leading bidder. It's possible going up by $10 won't make you the leader if another bidder has already placed a proxy bid for that amount or higher. Auctions are "soft close" - bids received in the last minute will bump the countdown back to 1 minute. I placed a bid but it shows somebody else's screenname This is due to that other bidder having a proxy bid (max bid) of higher than your attempted bid. Your bid attempt "pushed up" their proxy bid. You'll have to bid higher than their max bid to take the lead. How do I place a proxy bid (also called a max bid)? Simply place a bid that's more than the next-higher $10 increment. Lockerfox will place a bid for $10 higher than the current bid, making you the leader, and then place bids on your behalf, in $10 increments, to keep you on top - up to your maximum bid. You'll see your proxy bid amounts when viewing auctions you're leading on, and in the Active Bids section of the My Account page. What's the Leaderboard Limit? Bidders can be leading on a limited number of units at a time. You may request an increase in this limit. Granting increases is at the sole discretion of Lockerfox and may require you have an established track record of winning and picking up units. Why do I have to leave a cleaning deposit? As the auction winner, you are required to completely empty the unit and leave it ready to be re-rented. The cleaning deposit is a way for the storage facility to make sure you don't take what you want and leave the rest. You'll get the deposit back when you return to the office after emptying the unit. What happens if I win a unit and decide I don't want it? All bids placed on Lockerfox are real. You are making an agreement to purchase and remove the contents of the unit if you win. Bidders who are unable to meet their obligation are at risk of having their bidding priviledges suspended. Bidders who fail to pick up their won locker will forfeit their buyer's premium as an abandonment fee. I won a unit, and the receipt said my card was declined. No problem, just visit the Account Settings page and update your credit card. Then go to the Payments page and click Pay Now. I won a bunch of units, where is the list? Visit the Recent Wins section of the My Account page. I still have a question. Who do I ask? Visit the Contact Us page to ask our support team.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0117.json.gz/line15119

__label__wiki	0.670281	0.670281	Infrared Heaters Melt Away Safety Concerns For Parking Garage Ramps During construction of the 190-unit, 15-story JeffJack Apartments building in downtown Chicago, the owner sought an effective method to prevent snow and ice build-up on the building’s parking garage ramps during winter. Infrared heaters from Marley Engineered Products paved the way. Situated on the corner of North Jefferson Street and West Jackson Boulevard, the JeffJack building features an open air, naturally ventilated two-level parking garage. One side of the garage features a chain link fence wall that opens the space to the elements. “Chicago winter weather can wreak havoc on streets and quickly make driving and walking conditions unsafe,” said Kenneth Maruyama, AIA, of Thomas Roszak Architecture, the firm that directed the construction. Maruyama turned to Chicago-based electrical contractor Kelso-Burnett, and Thomas Sales & Marketing, an electrical equipment manufacturer’s representative, for a solution. After careful consideration, the subcontracting team recommended installation of 40 Berko® 4800-watt, three element infrared heaters manufactured by Marley Engineered Products®. Berko infrared heaters are designed to provide total or supplemental spot heating in commercial and industrial areas, and feature heavy gauge bright anodized aluminum reflectors and a steel enclosure. “Infrared radiant heat warms objects and people but not the air, and are ideal for parking ramps,” said Thomas Molk, president of Thomas Sales & Marketing. “Infrared heaters also are ideal for taxi stands, overhangs, hotels, airports, rail transport stations, work stations in buildings and much more.” Installation Heats Up Jeff Weir, branch manager with Kelso-Burnett, and Molk, oversaw the design and installation of the system. “I usually recommend infrared heating over slab heating cables in ramps,” said Molk. “Cars cause a lot of vibration with concrete and the failure rate of slab systems can be a real concern in these applications.” The design of the space did pose some challenges. Infrared heaters are typically installed on the ceiling above, but there wasn’t enough clearance in some areas for vehicles to pass through. “The height of the garage was limited in some areas which didn’t lend itself to putting the heaters directly on the ceiling in those places,” said Weir. “Thus, we needed a design that allowed us to heat those spaces another way.” Where overhead clearance was limited, the team decided to mount the heaters along a side wall. However, this method required a special mount because the standard mounting bracket ddn’t allow for the heater to be tilted. “We had a sheet metal shop fabricate a special mounting bracket for the side wall heaters that would allow them to be angled downward toward the floor,” said Molk. Where vertical space was ample, the heaters were installed above and parallel to the ramp with the standard mount that comes with the unit. Conduit and junction boxes were placed in the concrete during construction and wire fed to the units to provide electrical power. With the units mounted, the heaters were then connected to a sensor that detects and measures moisture and temperature. This allows the system to turn on automatically when temperatures drop to a certain level or if it detects moisture. The units also can be controlled manually. Numerous Benefits Realized Carlos Rosario, chief engineer of the JeffJack Apartments, attests to the effectiveness of the radiant heaters and the automatic sensor system. “The radiant heaters have worked efficiently through our second winter now with no issues whatsoever,” said Rosario. “The units prevent snow from accumulating on the ramps and freezing, which would be a major issue for residents trying to drive on or walk down the ramps.” Rosario keeps the units operating on automatic so they activate when needed. “I always have the sensor on because it’s more efficient, and I don’t always have time to monitor the conditions myself,” said Rosario. “The heaters activate when the conditions warrant it.” Another time saver, according to Rosario, is that he doesn’t have to salt the ramps to keep cars and residents from slipping. “These heaters have really made my job easier,” said Rosario. “And, I know that building residents really appreciate them, too.”	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0117.json.gz/line15141

Linda Brandt, who heads Summerwind Elementary School in the Los Angeles suburb of Palmdale, California, reportedly shared the photo in an email blast to staff, along with a separate photo of the noose hanging in an office, an unnamed teacher told FOX 11. The email contained no text. “We want her gone from this school and that’s just it,” angry parent Darrin Harper told the station after seeing the picture. “We want her out of here. I do personally! Because I know what she about. The pictures prove it, that’s what she about and that’s what she allow to go on. So she need to go.” Harper argued the image proved Brandt “hates them little black babies … all them minorities.” Palmdale School District Superintendent Raul Maldonado addressed the incident in a statement Thursday. “This afternoon it’s been brought to the Palmdale School District’s attention that an incident involving the discovery of a noose and possibly inappropriate responses to that discovery occurred at Summerwind Elementary School,” it read. “The Principal has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation of the matter.” According to FOX 11, Brandt is in consideration to become the district’s next superintendent. Parents say racism has been an ongoing issue at the California school, where Black children account for 17 percent of the student population. “I’ve requested that my kid be taken out of one classroom because [one] teacher, in particular, has shown prejudice discrimination against my kid and when I requested the black teacher I got grief for that,” Breyon Clemmons told the station. Shaka Phillipps, a former teacher, and educational consultant, told Yahoo News she pulled her niece from class Thursday morning after learning the four teachers seen in the offensive photo were allowed to resume their lessons. It’s unclear whether they’ve been suspended as well. “They had the audacity to show up today,” said Phillipps. “The integrity of the school is completely compromised. To the black community, a noose is a weapon, a symbol of slavery and lynching.” The concerned aunt said she plans to keep her niece out of school until Summerwind enacts new policies and takes disciplinary action against the teachers involved. Michele Lemaire, who teaches at the school, told FOX 11 that while the student body is diverse, the mostly white teaching staff is a “huge issue.” “But apparently it’s not being addressed,” she told the station. “There seems to be a sorting of who should be working here.” Atlantablackstar.com ← Shaquille O’Neal Buys 10 Pairs of Shoes for 13-Year-Old Who Wears a Size 18 Once Homeless, Black Doctor Tells His Story Of Beating The Odds In New Film →	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0117.json.gz/line15148
__label__cc	0.666924	0.333076	Merkle Q4 2016 Digital Marketing Report Released We are excited today to release the Q4 2016 Merkle Digital Marketing Report for download. For more than five years this quarterly report has highlighted the biggest trends impacting advertisers and platforms across several digital marketing channels, including paid search, organic search, comparison shopping engines, display advertising, and paid social media advertising. In addition to quarterly metrics, the Q4 2016 edition includes a high-level wrap-up of some of the biggest changes and trends of 2016 across the digital marketing spectrum. It also includes an updated analysis of Amazon’s recent move to begin advertising through Google Product Listing Ads and the current state of their presence in advertisers’ Auction Insights reports. Download the Q4 2016 Digital Marketing Report here. We will also be hosting a webinar on Thursday, January 26th at 2:00pm ET to talk about the major storylines from the report and to answer listener questions. Those unable to attend the live webinar can sign up to receive a recording at the end of the week by registering for the event. Below are some of the data points and trends included in the report, which readers can examine in even more depth by downloading the DMR. Google’s Y/Y paid search spend growth continued to decelerate, down from 20% in Q3 to 19% in Q4. Stronger Y/Y comparisons driven by mobile text ad and PLA changes in the second half of 2015 produced strong head winds, but Google made several additional changes in 2016 which helped to increase ad click volume. One such change was to begin showing Product Listing Ads in Google image results across all devices in January. Traffic from PLAs featured in Google image search results are attributed to the search partner network, and the share of total PLA traffic coming from search partners has increased significantly over the last twelve months. While Amazon refused to bid on Google Product Listing Ads following Google’s 2012 move to make Product Search a pay-to-play model, the online retailing giant moved in the final two weeks of Q4 to begin bidding on these ads. Amazon is now consistently included in Google Auction Insights reports for many advertisers which carry at least some products categorized as home goods. Organic Search & Social Overall organic search visits have been in decline for the last five quarters, as search engine updates have increasingly promoted ads and other features over the organic lists. However, one recent SEO bright spot has been organic visits on phones, which increased modestly Y/Y in both Q3 and Q4. While Google organic search visits remained flat Y/Y, organic visits for Bing and Yahoo declined 11% and 28%, respectively. As such, Google’s overall share of organic search visits increased Y/Y. Social media accounted for 3.1% of all site visits, up from 2.5% in Q4 2015. Mobile devices accounted for a robust 66% share of all social media site visits. Display and Paid Social Advertising Facebook ad spend increased 65% Y/Y, with a majority of that spend going to mobile devices. Facebook has a much higher mobile spend share than Google paid search. Advertisers divided display and paid social advertising spend roughly evenly between prospecting and retargeting campaigns in Q4, though a slight advantage went to prospecting. Comparison Shopping Engines The eBay Commerce Network accounted for 69% of all CSE spend in Q4, compared to 29% for the next largest CSE, Connexity. Connexity accounted for 50% of all CSE spend as recently as Q1, but its share has declined ever since. While clicks from Connexity and the eBay Commerce Network convert at similar rates for some product categories, conversion rate is much higher on the eBay Commerce Network for many major product categories.

High near 40F.

Students in many Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate courses will no longer be required to take end-of-course Milestones provided those students receive a passing grade in the course, according to the Georgia Department of Education. AP and IB courses allow high school students to take college-level courses and earn college credit before graduation. Milestones are the state’s method of measuring how well Georgia students have mastered subjects such as language arts, mathematics, science and social studies. Elementary and middle school students are given the tests at the end of the school year, while Georgia’s high schoolers are given end-of-course assessments in core subjects. The policy change is part of the state’s efforts to reduce the “over-emphasis on high-stakes testing,” according to Meghan Frick, a spokesperson for the Georgia Department of Education. The state estimates the change could eliminate about 58,000 assessments taken by students this year, based on the total enrollment of corresponding AP and IB courses taken during the 2018-19 school year (58,612). Students will still be required to take EOC tests in ninth grade literature and composition, algebra I or coordinate algebra, and biology due to federal laws that require assessments in math, English language arts/reading, and science at least once in high school. Cobb Superintendent Chris Ragsdale said the testing change is a win for students, parents and teachers in Cobb. Ragsdale said students are often overwhelmed by the amount of standardized tests they have to take throughout their K-12 careers, and any steps the state takes to limit that testing is positive. “If you reduce the amount of standardized testing, then you give teachers more time to teach,” the superintendent said, adding that there is still more work to be done to create meaningful, statewide systems of assessment. Ragsdale added that assessing students’ progress is still important, but should be done in-house on an ongoing basis to ensure no student is left behind. The Cobb County School District is focused on developing its Cobb Teaching and Learning System — an online portal for students, teachers and parents — to implement those ongoing assessments, he said. Ragsdale said more details on how the implementation of the changes will work in Cobb will be available within the next week. He assured parents the district will ensure the changes do not negatively impact students’ grades. But Connie Jackson, president of the Cobb County Association of Educators, said the state’s announcement is concerning. Jackson said the elimination of one portion of a system that unfairly judges students, teachers and schools is not enough. The state’s decision, she said, will remove the scores of the highest-scoring students from schools’ Milestones averages, hurting every school’s image, and likely causing the most damage to the lowest-performing schools in the county. She agreed with Ragsdale — high-stakes testing and other school ratings, like the College and Career Readiness Performance Index should be eliminated — but, she added, it has to be done all at once in a full revamp of the entire assessment system. CCRPI and standardized tests are being used to judge schools based on a formula that does not encourage collaboration and innovation, but rather punishes schools for under-performance, she said. CCRPI is a measuring stick that the state uses to gauge the performance of Georgia’s schools on a 100-point scale. Scores are based on five components: content mastery, progress, closing gaps, readiness and, for high schools, graduation rate. “Trying to feed us a crumb when we’ve asked for the whole meal ... is what this feels like. You can’t eliminate one (piece) of the equation without affecting everything else,” Jackson said. “It needs to be done away with totally, not just piecemeal here or there.” Grant Rivera, superintendent of Marietta City Schools, said both Ragsdale and Jackson are correct. Students win as a result of fewer required standardized tests, but schools lose with the change, as average school scores will drop, Rivera said. But he also noted that there is another unintended consequence that the state needs to explore. The Georgia Department of Education allows 1% of students in each school district in the state to take the Georgia Alternate Assessment, an alternative to standardized testing for qualified students with “significant cognitive disabilities.” The state describes the GAA as “a portfolio of student work that enables the demonstration of achievement and progress relative to selected skills that are aligned to the Georgia curriculum.” The GAA is assessed based on four criteria: English language arts, math, science, and social studies. Rivera said the 1% cap is an accountability measure to keep districts from over-identifying GAA students. But, he said, since the state has decided to remove a number of students from the standardized testing equation, that 1% represents a smaller number of disabled students who will be allowed to take the alternative assessment. The Marietta district already pushes the 1% cap, and the new calculation without certain AP and IB testers would place Marietta “solidly above ... if not pushing 2% participation in GAA,” according to Michael Huneke, Marietta’s director of assessment. What it comes down to, Rivera said, is Georgia Department of Education’s changes to EOC testing was well-intended to better serve high-achieving students. But, he said, based on current state policy, the changes also have the potential to harm school districts’ “most deserving students.” Follow Thomas Hartwell on Twitter at twitter.com/MDJThomas.

__label__cc	0.584418	0.415582	Minster Apologizes To Women Involved In Breast Cancer Screening Scandal by Medindia Content Team on May 20, 2006 at 11:21 AM Cancer News Paul Goggins, the new Health Minister of Northern Ireland, expressing his apology over the cancer screening scandal at the Ulster's breast cancer center, has stated that women who had suffered distress and anxiety can claim compensation. An alarming report had pointed out the delay in the cancer diagnosis of six women owing to substandard care of a consultant radiologist. 'The estimated increase in risk of dying from breast cancer attributable to the delay in diagnosis ranged from 2% to 10%,' read the report. As a consequence of this delay, the women were at greater risk of dying from the disease. Furthermore, 19 patients were wrongly informed that they did not have cancer. On an average, the delay in the diagnosis of these patients ranged form 7 weeks to 27 months. If not for the concerns raised by the Trust staff regarding the 'clinical judgment and decision making' of the radiologist, this issue would not have been brought to spotlight. Although the Health Department had raised concerns about Dr. Stephen Elliott, believed to have been paid extra cash for his locum work, nothing much was done. Unmindful of the service requirements, the Antrim Area Hospital Trust further continued to attenuate the clinic throughput to be in line with the consultant's work rate. This issue one side, the senior managers were scolded for ignoring the risk associated with incompetence of the consultant radiologist. Owing to poor quality of the radiologist's work, nearly 7000 women have been informed that they might have to be reassessed. Out of the 400 women who were called to present for a second mammogram, 19 were found to have breast cancer, which apparently was not picked up during initial screening. The damning report states: 'The review panel are concerned that management at the most senior level within Antrim Area Hospital failed to recognize the significant risks being taken in continuing to provide breast screening services where there was an element of doubt about the competence of a consultant radiologist.' 'It would also appear that in directly approaching the identified consultant about undertaking this locum work, at an enhanced pay rate, management at Antrim Area Hospital failed to be open and transparent in offering locum work to other consultants who may have been interested in providing locum cover. Those affected may take some small consolation from the recommendations in this report, ' concluded the report, prepared by the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority. << Gossip Fosters Friendship?

This is largely mediated by the importation of dengue from endemic to non-endemic areas via the increasing connectivity of the global air transport network. The dynamic nature and intrinsic heterogeneity of the air transport network make it challenging to predict dengue importation. Here, we explore the capabilities of state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms to predict dengue importation. We trained four machine learning classifiers algorithms, using a 6-year historical dengue importation data for 21 countries in Europe and connectivity indices mediating importation and air transport network centrality measures. Predictive performance for the classifiers was evaluated using the area under the receiving operating characteristic curve, sensitivity, and specificity measures. Finally, we applied practical model-agnostic methods, to provide in-depth explanation of our optimal model′s predictions on a global and local scale. Our best performing model achieved high predictive accuracy, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic score of 0.94 and a maximized sensitivity score of 0.88. The predictor variables identified as most important were the source country′s dengue incidence rate, population size, and volume of air passengers. Network centrality measures, describing the positioning of European countries within the air travel network, were also influential to the predictions. We demonstrated the high predictive performance of a machine learning model in predicting dengue importation and the utility of the model-agnostic methods to offer a comprehensive understanding of the reasons behind the predictions. Similar approaches can be utilized in the development of an operational early warning surveillance system for dengue importation.

__label__cc	0.524189	0.475811	Lender invests in broker network by Justin da Rosa 04 Jul 2014 More stories about Verico M3 to flex its muscles in the year ahead One of Canada’s largest lenders has made an equity investment in one of the industry’s major broker networks which, according to the players involved, is a positive sign for the industry as a whole. “Clearly this is a very positive sign for our industry. We all know that many of our Lenders rely on strong relationships with financial institutions as investors and funders,” John Kelly, chief operating officer for VERICO told MortgageBrokerNews.ca. “ The investment B2B Bank is making in VERICO Canada is in this context and provides us with more depth and resources to pursue our expansion plans in the coming years.” Specific details of the deal have not yet been released but MortgageBrokerNews.ca spoke with Kelly for more on the investment. CMP: What are the plans for the future, now that an influential backer has come on board? Kelly: VERICO Canada is committed to developing new and innovative opportunities for our Members. This means collaborating with our all of our lenders to construct and deliver new banking, insurance, and investment cross offers that differentiate and enhance our brokers’ value proposition to their customers. It’s a progressive evolution that will ultimately enable our brokers to broaden their business scope and profitability. The B2B Bank relationship is intended as a key and initial proof of concept on this strategy. VERICO has just launched BRINCO Insurance to the network. This is also an important step in ensuring our brokers can expand their business to include life and property insurance in the future. The common objective is more points of profitable connection and relevancy with their customers. CMP: What does it mean for the broker industry as a whole that a lender has chosen to put money back into this side of the business? Kelly: It’s no secret that the vast majority of the mortgages in Canada are manufactured by Canadian banks, trust and credit unions. Consequently the Broker channel, and most monoline lenders serving our channel, rely on these Banks to supply us with loan products. So I think almost all industry stakeholders would view any financial institution investment in the mortgage broker channel as a very positive outcome. CMP: Are these sorts of partnerships going to be more common as the broker networks fights for market share with the big banks? Kelly: I would think so. To compete and win in the future will require investment to drive the innovations that will deliver lasting advantages. It is very likely that there will be continued cross investments among and between banks, monolines, brokers, and national brands. CMP: What role will B2B play in determining the future of Verico? Kelly: We intend to collaborate on certain niche product innovations with B2B Bank, but generally the future of VERICO will remain determined by our management team, namely Colin Dreyer, myself, and our National Advisory Council. CMP: Will Verico brokers be given certain privileges when working with B2B? Kelly: Of course. But I want to be very clear that the structure and nature of the relationship between VERICO and B2B Bank is merely financial. There is no locked in bias here, and B2B Bank will provide the same competitive mortgage products to all brokers in our industry.

__label__wiki	0.938742	0.938742	British voters called on again to resolve Brexit mess LONDON, UK - With Britons heading to the polls on Thursday to vote in their third general election in under four years, the question the ruling Conservatives are asking themselves is, will Prime Minister Boris Johnson's gamble to hold an early ballot pay off? Will he be able to accomplish what his Downing Street predecessor, Theresa May, failed to do in 2017 with her snap election and secure a large parliamentary majority? Johnson hopes to achieve what she failed to do - to persuade traditional working-class voters who favor Brexit in the north of England to ditch their lifetime habit of voting Labor. If successful, it would amount to a seismic reshaping of British politics. Opinion polls suggest the Conservatives may pull off a big win Thursday and secure a sufficient majority for Johnson to end the long-running Brexit mess by taking Britain out of the European Union by the end of January. In the final days of the campaign, Johnson has focused on Labor's so-called "red wall," searching for cracks to widen in old towns and farming villages crucial to the Conservatives' hopes of winning Thursday's election, warning voters that they face a "great Brexit betrayal," if they vote for an increasingly metropolitan and southern Labor Party. Most polls have been giving the Conservatives, also known as Tories, a 10-percent lead over Labor, the country's main opposition party. But the race appears to have tightened in the final stretch. One poll midweek had the lead cut to 8 percent and a further drop would point to a likely hung parliament. Few pollsters are ready to hazard a firm prediction of a Johnson win. In 2017, the opinion polls were upended by a late surge toward Labor and a high turnout by pro-EU youngsters. Labor has a strong record in getting out their vote. Brexit has turned Britain into a politically tumultuous country - old party allegiances have weakened and a wide generation gap has been exposed, with younger voters shifting left and older voters shifting right. New political groups have emerged; the centrist pro-EU Liberal Democrats have enjoyed a revival thanks to lawmakers defecting to them from Labor and the Tories. Both main parties have lurched toward their extremes, putting off their moderate supporters. All of that spells the possibility of some big surprises on election night. Twelve percent to 17 percent of Britons apparently are still undecided voters. The conduct of this election, what has been dubbed Britain's first post-truth election, has been anything but normal and that could come back to hurt the parties when voters are casting their ballots. The campaigning has become more toxic as it unfolds. "Fake news" stories have been planted with abandon, and online disinformation and manipulation are being used to rally support by fomenting outrage and anger. Social media have become more influential in the national discourse than the newspapers or the broadcasters. The politicians have been lost in a world of spin, say election critics, playing fast and loose with the facts, determinedly evading serious examination of their policies and plans. "This election has been marinated in mendacity: big lies and small lies, quarter truths and pseudo facts; distraction, dissembling and disinformation; and digital skulduggery on an industrial scale," the country's storied Economist magazine said this week. The biggest lie by the Tories, say commentators, has been that Brexit can be delivered painlessly and without much disruption. "Get Brexit done" has been Johnson's mantra throughout. And the Conservatives have stayed relentlessly on message, warning that a vote for anyone but them will condemn Britain to further "dither and delay" in a likely deadlocked hung parliament with a Labor-led coalition government. "On Thursday, the country has the chance to end the delay, get Brexit done and move on to sorting out all the other things that matter to you," Johnson has said. But Brexit will take longer than just a month to sort out and there will be a high economic price to pay in terms of the national debt and deficit, and major disruption for businesses, according to analysts and the Bank of England. The January Brexit deadline Johnson wants to observe is just the start of a long process of negotiations to settle on a future arrangement with Britain's largest trading partner, the EU. Most observers argue this second stage of negotiations will be tricky and could take years. If Johnson wins, "Skies will begin to darken as flocks of Mr. Johnson's chickens will come home to roost," says Matthew Parris, a former Conservative lawmaker, and now a columnist at The Times newspaper. Labor obfuscation, say commentators, has come with the party's radical high-spending plans to re-nationalize the energy, rail and water industries, broadband providers and Royal Mail. It has promised to introduce a four-day work week, redistribute wealth and reinvest in Britain's crumbling public services, all without increasing taxes except for billionaires. The Institute for Fiscal Studies, a respected British research institution, has dubbed those plans as "not a credible prospectus." Voters have become angrier and more disillusioned as the election has unfolded, with candidates reporting unprecedented vitriol on the doorsteps. None of the party leaders has impressed the electorate in what has become a "hold-your-nose" election, described as "an unpopularity contest." Both Boris Johnson and Labor's Jeremy Corbyn, as well as the leader of Britain's perennial third party, the Liberal Democrats, Jo Swinson, have been laughed at and mocked by hostile, disbelieving studio audiences. Johnson is the most unpopular new prime minister since the advent of opinion polls and seen widely as an opportunist. Corbyn is the most disliked leader of the opposition since polls began, and widely regarded as a tired far-left figure from a bygone era. Their unpopularity goes some way to explain why so many voters are undecided, say pollsters. "We have never seen as many undecided voters this late in the campaign," according to pollster Paul Hilder. "A much larger Conservative landslide is still possible - but so is a hung parliament," he added. As the campaign has unfolded, the Liberal Democrats appear to have failed to fill the gap in the middle of British politics. Their inexperienced leader made what looks like a fatal campaign mistake in deciding to campaign not for a second Brexit referendum, but for a revocation of the 2016 plebiscite altogether. Labor's position has been what critics describe as a fudge, involving a pledge to renegotiate another exit deal and then to hold a second referendum. Nigel Farage's newly-minted Brexit Party has barely figured, having been squeezed by Johnson's pledge to deliver Brexit. The Conservatives are banking on voters, even those who would prefer to remain in the EU, of just being sick and tired of the whole Brexit mess, and seeing Johnson as the only escape route. But if voters are more concerned about the crumbling state of Britain's public services and the years of austerity under the Conservatives, then Labor could defy the opinions polls. Labor has relentlessly focused on the NHS and issues around social care. A further high danger for Johnson is tactical voting by pro-EU voters - a strategy that's been urged on Britons by two former prime ministers, Labor's Tony Blair and the Conservatives' John Major, who argue Brexit is toxic for Britain. They have urged pro-EU Britons to back the candidate from either Labor or the Liberal Democrats most likely to defeat the Tories in their constituency. Ten percent of voters say they plan to vote tactically and the internet is full of helpful interactive maps to assist them. Johnson could technically be denied a majority on Thursday if just 41,000 people voted tactically in 36 out of 650 seats. But some pollsters say so far, the signs are that pro-Brexiters are uniting around the Conservatives, while pro-EU voters are split between opposition parties - and that is the way the Tories want it to remain.

I remember picking up a “Can I Play With Madness” shirt in Makro, and that shirt was worn quite literally until it fell apart. I would have been 14, if my maths are correct. Thing is, thirty years on and I still listen to the album. I mean, who wouldn’t? It’s still classic Maiden. Look at the singles alone that it spawned – the aforementioned “Can I Play With Madness” with its creepy video featuring the miserable school teacher who gets “Eddied”. It reached number three in the UK charts. “The Evil That Men Do“, “The Clairvoyant” and “Infinite Dreams” followed (reaching numbers 5, 6, and 6 again in the UK singles chart). The album itself was Maiden’s first number one since Bruce’s debut on Number of the Beast. There was a differing of opinion regarding Maiden’s use of keyboards on the album. Some thought it a step too far into prog territory, others that it added that little something that gave the album’s sound a bit more polish. All I know is that I really, really liked it and – listening to it right this moment – it genuinely is a highlight in their impressive back-catalogue. “Moonchild” is a wonderfully evil opener on this concept work, and the ending with Bruce’s evil cackle is spot on. “Infinite Dreams” follows on and is a complete change in pace, the two songs combined showing the opposite ends of Maiden’s musical range and the latter being a showcase for Steve Harris’s bass. So often the four-string is lost in the mix in rock and metal albums, but the production on pretty much everything Maiden have done keep these low notes audible with “Infinite Dreams” being a prime example. Everyone knows “Madness” and “Evil”, but the opus that is the title track is grand from the opening chords through to the end of its almost 10-minute run. It just sounds big, partly due to those keyboards. The lyrics are enthralling and it’s a brilliant example of a song that actually tells a story. A great centrepiece for an album that revolves around this tale. Yes, it’s proggy, there’s absolutely no doubt about that… but when you’ve released six previous albums which have done so well, you’re entitled to stretch your legs a little. “The Prophecy” starts off in a similar vein, sounding like it’s going to be another lighter track but ends up being pretty damn heavy with the usual trademark collection of memorable riffs and wailing solos. If there’s a song to get the goosebumps rising, it’s “The Clairvoyant” that just seems to build to an incredible crescendo. That opening riff has the hairs on my neck rising as I type this (absolutely no lie!) and once more the lyrics are amongst the best Maiden ever wrote with the little “…and be reborn again” kick at the end. Rounding things off with the cantering pace of “Only The Good Die Young”, the album’s an instant candidate for use of the “repeat” button on the – at the time – new-fangled CD player. On the year of its release, Maiden headlined Donington for the first time. 107,000 people watched them – the largest crowd the festival had ever hosted. Hardly surprising. I’m staggered that this is the 30th anniversary of its release. How come I feel so old when the album still feels so young and fresh? “So, until the next time… have a good sin.” Father of three.

Kassian skated with the Oilers at Rogers Place earlier Monday but he did not speak to media afterwards ahead of his meeting with league's Player Safety Department. The league said in a statement that Kassian was suspended without pay and will forfeit US$20,967.74 under terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Meanwhile in Montreal, Tkachuk, after a pre-game skate with his Calgary Flames teammates, told reporters if he had to do it all over again he would have done the same thing. "It (not fighting) was probably the right thing to do for me there," said Tkachcuk. "If (Kassian) was a different type of player, maybe (I would have). Maybe somebody closer to me out there. "But it wasn't the right time to do it, against the right person. I have a feeling half the people in the league wouldn't go with that guy. "I just think I'd rather be out there than be in the (penalty) box with him, and I'm sure if you ask the rest of my teammates they'd rather (have) me out there instead of (being) taken off the ice." Kassian went after Tkachuk late in the second period Saturday night at the Saddledome, with the game tied at 3, after Tkachuk drilled him into the boards, sending Kassian's helmet flying. Kassian responded by grabbing Tkachuk by the scruff of his sweater, hauling him around like a bag of laundry, and landing 10 punches until the linesman intervened. The beatdown was captured in a widely distributed iconic photo: Tkachuk, bent forward, chin to chest, with his red and yellow gloves (each glove labelled "Warrior") covering his face and head as Kassian, hauls back his balled-up left fist to administer yet another head-seeking haymaker. Kassian was given a double minor for roughing. It was a costly penalty. The Flames scored on the power play, won 4-3, and took over top spot in the Pacific Division. It was the second time in the game that Tkachuk had delivered a hellacious hit on Kassian. Midway through the first period, Tkachuk lined up Kassian as he swooped around the net and hit him high with the shoulder, wobbling Kassian's skull like a bobblehead doll and knocking off his helmet. The incident has the potential to make for some awkward moments at the upcoming all-star game, where Tkachuk will be teammates on the Pacific Division squad with Oilers stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. When asked what he would do if asked to share the ice with Tkachuk during the 3-on-3 tournament, Draisaitl said: "Probably get off the ice." Oilers forward James Neal, meanwhile, sneered at Tkachuk's explanation. "(If you don't want to fight Kassian), well then don't be taking 12-foot runs at him trying to kill him," said Neal. "You don't see anybody else in the league doing that because they know they have to fight him. "Am I going to go see Looch (Flame heavyweight Milan Lucic) coming around the net and go target his head? Run 12 feet and try to kill him? No because he's going to kill me." The Tkachuk hit, and the ragdoll fight, renewed the debate among reporters, columnists, and fans about predatory hits, rough justice, and when league intervention is appropriate in the age of heightened awareness on player safety and concussions. Pro-Tkachukers, and Flames fans on social media, say he was right to turtle, that he has fought before (seven times) and that discretion was the better part of valour rather than take a dumb penalty in a close game. They also note that both hits were deemed clean by the NHL and that maybe Kassian, with 33 fights and more than a thousand hits to his credit, can deliver a good hit but just can't take one. Pro-Zackers, and Oiler fans, meanwhile, have been posting frame-by-frame breakdowns on Tkachuk's earlier hit as if it was the Zapruder film, positing that it was predatory attack, preceded by four strides and a launch of the feet to target the head. They have also been gleefully posting memes of Tkachuk with his curly haired face tacked onto the body of a turtle lying on its back, its tiny legs wiggling free, belly open to the sun. All sides agree the fight has put the Battle back in Battle of Alberta, heightened by the fact both teams are fighting for a playoff spot. The next game between them is Jan. 29 in Edmonton followed by Feb. 1 in Calgary.

__label__wiki	0.529841	0.529841	The Role of Hajj in Strengthening Equality and Fraternity Among Mankind Al-Azhar Magazine – February 1971 Pilgrimage is a spiritual provision for the Muslim. It fill his soul with obedience, fear of God, repentance from sins, love for the memory of the struggle between right and wrong; and it reminds him of the overthrow of the idols and establishment of the worship of the One God. The pilgrimage fills his heart with the brotherly feeling because it bids him remember that all his brother Muslims are facing towards the same sacred spot; that he is one of a great company of believers; united by one Faith filled with the same hopes of reverencing the same things worshipping the same God. It moreover may be considered a world conference for all Muslims; a conference for all Muslims; a conference that is called for by God for the noble purposes. There around and inside the sacred House of “the land made safe” the Muslim meets his brothers in religion from all parts of the world. The eyes of the whole Muslim would fixed on that central spot, keep alive in the bosom of each some spark of the Divine fire which lighted up the earth in that age of darkness. The Holy Quran says: إِنَّ أَوَّلَ بَيۡتٍ۬ وُضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ لَلَّذِى بِبَكَّةَ مُبَارَكً۬ا وَهُدً۬ى لِّلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ (٩٦) فِيهِ ءَايَـٰتُۢ بَيِّنَـٰتٌ۬ مَّقَامُ إِبۡرَٲهِيمَ‌ۖ وَمَن دَخَلَهُ ۥ كَانَ ءَامِنً۬ا‌ۗ وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ حِجُّ ٱلۡبَيۡتِ مَنِ ٱسۡتَطَاعَ إِلَيۡهِ سَبِيلاً۬‌ۚ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَنِىٌّ عَنِ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ (٩٧) It means: “Lo! The first Sanctuary appointed for mankind was that at Becca, a blessed place, a guidance to the peoples; wherein are plain memorials (of Allah’s guidance); the place where Abraham stood up to pray; and whatsoever entereth it is safe. And pilgrimage to the House is a duty unto Allah for mankind, for him who can find a way thither.” (3: 96-97) One of the major significances of the pilgrimage is that it reminds us of the fine example of the great prophet Ibrahim. There is much to know about this wonderful man who called ‘Khalil Allah’ (friend of Allah). His life was very long and spent in the service of his Lord. The faith which Ibrahim taught, the faith that Muhammed, the last of all prophets taught is the faith of the One God, Allah. Ibrahim was the father of the upright religion. As the Holy Quran says: مَا كَانَ إِبۡرَٲهِيمُ يَہُودِيًّ۬ا وَلَا نَصۡرَانِيًّ۬ا وَلَـٰكِن كَانَ حَنِيفً۬ا مُّسۡلِمً۬ا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ It means: “Abraham was not a Jew, nor yet a Christian; but he was an upright man who had surrendered to (Allah), and he was not of the idolaters.” (3:67) To understand the true significance of the pilgrimage and the ‘Eid el Adha’ (the sacrificial feast which takes place on the 10thDhulHijja), we must recall Ibrahim’s life and his sacrifices. He showed us that we must submit to the Will of Allah, no matter what it may cost, and often this submission is a form of testing for us that we may prove ourselves in the process of strengthening our faith and character. From the very beginning, Ibrahim’s life was separated from others by hand of Allah. At his birth his mother had to hide in a cave to escape the soldiers of king ‘Nimrod’, who because of a certain, dream, had ordered the killing of all new born children who were male. When still a youth he had a great spiritual experience and which gave an indication of his future life. He taught his people, infinite and transcendent, above and beyond limited, human comprehension. He is the All Kind, All Knowing, nobody is asked for help or mercy save him. He is the Creator of this Universe, and there is no creator but He, no partner to Him. He is the only One is distinguished by worship and He is Sole Cherisher of humankind. If one follows the logical and simple proofs set out by the prophet Ibrahim to his people then one comes up to the ultimate conclusion that from him spread out the eternally vibrant rays of Islam. No wonder that Ibrahim is linked to the Muslim nation with strong bonds. The Quran tells off many happening in Ibrahim’s life. One day Ibrahim asked his people: “What are these idols you worship? You are wrong in doing so”. They replied: “Our fathers did so, so do we”. Once while he was walking to his father’s house the day gradually faded, night came and a star he said: ‘That is my Lord’. But when it set he said: “O I do not love things that set”. Then he saw the moon appeared and said: “That is my Lord who is the greatest of all”. But this also set and when it did so he said: “O my people: I am free from your idolatry. See, I turn my face to the Creator of heaven and earth”. After this there came a time when the people left the town and Ibrahim reminded behind, while they were gone he took an axe and went to the temple where the idols stood. Then he broke them into pieces and scattered them all except one large idol into whose hand he put the axe. When the people returned and saw what had happened in their temple they occurred Ibrahim, of the deed and questioned him saying: “Are you the man who did this to our gods?” Ibrahim people were confused and said: “Surely the largest of them has done this thing. Ask them if they are able to speak”. The people were confused and said: “You know well that they cannot speak”. Then Ibrahim replied: “Do you then, disregarding Allah, the Lord of the Universe, worship those things that cannot help or harm you? Shame on you and your worship at idols.” The people could not answer and were furious with him. As punishment they threw him into a furnace, but Allah protected him and he felt the fire completely unharmed. Then the prophet Ibrahim had to make a supreme sacrifice. He was going to sacrifice his only son Ismail to his Lord who had put him to such a hard and severe test. In a dream he was commanded by Allah to sacrifice his son. When he told his son of his dream, he understood and told his father that he must do what he thought he had to do. Together they went to a certain place in the valley of ‘Mina’ and there prepared a place for sacrifice. When it was ready Ismail laid himself down on the altar and exposed his throat to his father’s knife. Ibrahim stood over his son, knife in hand, about to give the life of his beloved son. What courage and faith this father and son had, for this was no easy thing to do for either of them, for the one to take life of his son and for the other to submit himself to his father’s wish: both of them submitting to the Will of Allah. Just as Ibrahim’s knife was about to descent to his son’s throat he heard the bleating of a ram and suddenly saw the animal and Divine Voice commanded him: “This animal well be sacrificed and not your son”. Then taking the ram which had miraculously appeared obediently made a sacrifice to his Lord who had put him to this particular sacrifice. It was this man and his son who rebuilt the first sanctuary on earth, the Ka’ba at Mecca. It is to this Holy place that all Muslims turn at the time of prayers and make their pilgrimage. It is something wonderful and unforgettable to gaze upon the Ka’ba, for there is concentrated the adoration of millions. The Ka’ba for there is concentrated the adoration of millions. The Ka’ba, for there is concentrated the adoration of millions. The Ka’ba is an inescapable part of the Islamic religion. Islam rejects all forms of idolatrous worship and the Ka’ba is but a holy place where man has worshipped Allah since the time of Adam, no more, no less. There are many traditions and legends surrounding the Ka’ba and ‘Black Stone’ but it is accepted by all Muslims that the Ka’ba is the first sanctuary to be erected on earth and was rebuilt by Ibrahim and his son Ismail. The Black Stone is the only original stone left after many centuries and many reconstructions. Historical references to the Ka’ba is very limited before Islam, and only begins at the time of Muhammed (peace be upon him), when the Ka’ba was destroyed by fire and was rebuilt of stone and wood. It is reported that when the time came to replace the Black Stone, the people of Mecca quarreled for the honor and so Muhammed, placing the stone in his Cloak, ordered the chifs to take each end and carry it, and he himself placed it in its position. Thanks to his wisdom, everyone was pleased and no one was offended. At that time Ka’ba became a place of heathen worship and when the prophet conquered Mecca there was found nearly 400 idols around the Ka’ba. All these were destroyed and the building then purified to become once more a place of true worship, all idolaters forbidden to enter Mecca. In the year 10th A.H. the Prophet led the first pilgrimage in which no idolater was present. At this time, the guardianship of the Ka’ba entrusted to Uthman and the BanuShaibahave retained this title until the present day. The Ka’ba is a simple stone structure about fifty feet square which stands on a marble base in the middle of the great mosque of Mecca. In the eastern corner of the room is the Black Stone. The four corners of the Ka’ba indicate the cardinal points of the compass. There is a very interesting view in Islamic cosmology which states that before the world was created the Ka’ba was a focus in the flux of pre-existence and that world has formed from this particular point. Thus it becomes the navel of earth. Also in cosmography the Ka’ba corresponds with the polar star and as the latter is the highest point in the heavens, so the former is the highest point in the earth. The following is the prayers of Ibrahim from the Holy Quran: وَإِذۡ قَالَ إِبۡرَٲهِيمُ رَبِّ ٱجۡعَلۡ هَـٰذَا ٱلۡبَلَدَ ءَامِنً۬ا وَٱجۡنُبۡنِى وَبَنِىَّ أَن نَّعۡبُدَ ٱلۡأَصۡنَامَ (٣٥) رَبِّ إِنَّہُنَّ أَضۡلَلۡنَ كَثِيرً۬ا مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ‌ۖ فَمَن تَبِعَنِى فَإِنَّهُ ۥ مِنِّى‌ۖ وَمَنۡ عَصَانِى فَإِنَّكَ غَفُورٌ۬ رَّحِيمٌ۬ (٣٦) رَّبَّنَآ إِنِّىٓ أَسۡكَنتُ مِن ذُرِّيَّتِى بِوَادٍ غَيۡرِ ذِى زَرۡعٍ عِندَ بَيۡتِكَ ٱلۡمُحَرَّمِ رَبَّنَا لِيُقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ فَٱجۡعَلۡ أَفۡـِٔدَةً۬ مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ تَہۡوِىٓ إِلَيۡہِمۡ وَٱرۡزُقۡهُم مِّنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٲتِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَشۡكُرُونَ (٣٧) It means: “When Abraham said: My Lord: make safe this territory and preserve me and my son from serving idols. My Lord! Lo! They have led many of mankind astray. But whose followeth me, he verily is of me. And whose disobeyeth me still Thou art Forgiving, Merciful. Our Lord! Lo! I have settled some of my posterity in an uncultivable valley near unto Thy Holy House. Our Lord! That they may establish proper worship; so incline some hearts of men that they may yearn toward them; and provide Thou them with fruits in order that they be thankful”. (14: 35-37) In the conference of pilgrimage Muslims meet in the service of God exchanging ideas, investigating their problems and strengthening the bands of fraternity and unity. The pilgrimage also adds to man’s knowledge and experience. Differences of color, race and nationality are leveled off and real bond among them is sincere brotherhood.

__label__cc	0.55232	0.44768	One in three fund investors holds most expensive share class One in three fund investors is holding the most expensive share class of their fund, rather than cheaper commission-free or ‘clean’ share classes. Typically, these investors pay around a third more for the same fund than they would in the clean share class, as we explain below. The research, carried out by Fitz Partners, found that 34% of retail assets invested in UK funds are invested in old-style, commission-paying share classes. New investors can no longer put their money into this type of share class because, under new rules that were first ushered in at the start of 2013, commission payments have been banned. Prior to the new rules being introduced as part of the Retail Distribution Review (RDR), financial advisers pocketed commission payments from fund managers when recommending their products. Moneywise’s First 50 Funds for beginners The banning of commission has forced financial advisers to charge consumers directly for advice. It was thought that as well as potential bias being removed from advisers' recommendations, fund charges would become more transparent for investors. As the old-style commission-paying share classes were then out of bounds, existing investors with fund platform accounts were gradually moved by their fund platforms over to the newly created 'clean share classes', which are commission-free. Investors who use an online broker, either in their own right or through a financial adviser, will therefore now find themselves investing in commission-free funds via ‘clean’ share classes. They will pay a separate fee to their broker: either a fixed fee or one based on a percentage of their investment. However, the commission ban does not apply where a financial adviser or self-directed investor buys assets directly through a fund management company rather than via a platform. Those who ‘go straight to the manufacturer’ in this way still incur commission charges. Similarly, investors who have in the past invested directly with a fund management company themselves, without an adviser, are not being moved into clean funds, as the fund management group is not required to transfer them. As things stand, those who invested directly with the fund group via an adviser still have commission (typically 0.5%) paid to the adviser, even if they are no longer receiving any service. Directly invested self-directed investors, meanwhile, simply pay commission fees to the fund manager for non-existent advice. In most cases switching from old-style commission share classes to new clean versions would be in the investors’ best interest. Typically, the old commission-paying share classes have an ongoing charges figure of 1.7%. The clean share class normally costs half as much, on average 0.85%. Even when the variable broker fee is factored in, the typical all-in fund cost comes in at between 1.1 and 1.3%. Therefore, going down the direct route is, therefore, typically around a third more expensive. Hugues Gillibert, chief executive at Fitz Partners, says the amount of assets held in the old-style share classes “remains high”. Gillibert adds that 70% of retail investors’ money was held in commission-paying share classes in 2013 and has been falling steadily by about 10% each year since. “The proportion of retail investors’ assets in UK funds invested in fully loaded share classes that still pay trail commissions to advisers remains high at 34%, and retail investors might be missing out on potential savings and better returns,” he says. New Innovative Finance Isa pays 7.28% a year As part of its review into the asset management industry, the Financial Conduct Authority suggested some remedies for fund managers to enable them to move direct investors from “expensive to better value share classes”. Firmer action from the regulator may be forthcoming this month when it releases a policy statement on the various remedies it has called on the fund management industry to implement.

Consolidation and Competition in the Solid Waste Industry Looking back from the end of the millennium to 1893, in Frederick Jackson Turner’s seminal work, The Significance of the Frontier in American History, the noted historian called attention to the profound consequences for the American temperament that was marked by the closing of the frontier in 1890. Something on the same scale seems simmering through the waste industry today. It all began, as legend has it, in 1959 when Dean Buntrock married into the Dutch families that dominated Chicago trash collection through which he linked up with his wife’s cousin, Wayne Huizenga; and in 1967, when Tommy Fatjo began a small carting business in a tiny Houston suburb. On these rocks grew Waste Management Inc. and Browning-Ferris Industries, which merged with small hauling operators to go public in the early 1970s, use their freshly minted stock to finance an unparalleled acquisition spree, and roll up what had before been a small, local, and fragmented industry plagued by allegations of mob tactics into a global business on a professional basis. Managing municipal solid waste is more than landfilling: publicity, education, engineering, long-term planning, and landfill gas waste-to-energy are specialties needed in today’s complex environment. We’ve created a handy infographic featuring 6 tips to improve landfill management and achieve excellence in operations. 6 Tips for Excellence in Landfill Operations. Download it now! The Picture Today Until May 1999, Deutsche Bank analyst Mari Bari called investors’ attention to the fact that, after the 30 years of accelerating acquisitions in the waste industry that followed, “[c]onsolidation could wind down by 2001” because there are now so “few large independents left (and those are generally not acquirable [due to liabilities]).” The endgame is poised to arrive with the new century. For the remaining independents and for the municipal and commercial customers, the question is, when that happens, will it have the same seismic consequences for the trash business as the closing of the frontier had for America earlier? The answer is that it very well may. The industry, which had begun around the end of the 19th century at the same time as Turner was examining the closing of the frontier, had passed through and left behind two earlier phases of its lives. The first dominated by allegations of mob influence and the second of white-collar cartels. Although the day might have set on its more notorious past, if the trends noted by Deutsche Bank continue, competition could fade into the sunset as the industry enters its third phase when just a few national firms survive and tacitly cooperate. An era that was once otherwise as wide open as the Wild West for new haulers tough enough to enter the waste business might be over. Mobs and Cartels In the early years, the solid waste industry was relegated by Main Street to the other side of the tracks because it handled garbage. Without access to capital, the trash business had remained local and fragmented. However, with its ties to criminal elements, anticompetitive activity in some of major cities could be enforced threats of physical violence that received wide notoriety. However, there comes a time when most industries mature because of the opportunities that growth offers. On the numbers, a commanding market share is a more effective and durable pathway to above-market profitability. Better to impose across an entire continent discrete monopoly rents that do not raise too many eyebrows than to let hoods extort outsized collection fees with a few small-time, five-truck fleets in a handful of big cities such as New York or Kansas City where the Mafia had influence. Essentially, the mob taint was locking up the larger valuations inherent in the industry. Seeing this potential was the genius of Buntrock, Huizenga, and Fatjo, the early pioneers of the era of consolidation. When the great roll up began, the new consolidators knew that they had to professionalize the business in order to sever the link with the industry’s past crime-sullied reputation. White-shoe investment houses whose capital they needed to make the acquisitions did not, after all, want to be associated with an industry whose members get reported in the media. Threats to torch trucks became inexpedient in an era when consolidators banked on capital to grow and on investors’ favor to bid their stock up to high-flying valuations. For when investors saw great potential for profitability in the waste industry, they bid up the stock’s price/earnings ratio above the market average, and that made financing acquisitions with their own stock as currency much cheaper than going to a bank. But there was a problem with that strategy because roll-ups never had any fundamental logic for the garbage business. It is true that within a local market, higher route densities from consolidation is more efficient, but because of a host of confounding factors, market share needs to exceed 75% before the cost savings will rise above 10%. It is also true that some local consolidation can spread overheads over more sales to reduce unit costs. But that is not what national-scale waste firms are about. Trash collection simply has no economies of scale above that found on the regional level that could offset the premiums that had to be paid to close on all those acquisitions and the administrative costs combining and then running dispersed operations from a corporate headquarters in a business that is fundamentally about local markets. The obvious implication—that there is no underlying rationale for waste-industry consolidation—was not widely appreciated by investors. Until they became so big in the late 1980s and early 1990s that the “law of large numbers” overcame the effect, this underlying reality had been hidden by the way roll-ups are legitimately booked, which recognizes their revenue immediately but masks or spreads out over decades the costly premiums that had been paid through pooling of interest or purchase accounting. At some point, though, their size becomes so large—the law of large numbers—that acquisitions are too small as a fraction of the whole to impact the bottom line any longer. The difficulty in unraveling the core profitability from the accounting chimera is why, periodically, Wall Street spooks about roll-up industries in general. The problem facing the industry became how to meet investors’ earnings expectations when the core business did not make that possible and the law of large numbers began to reveal that the emperor had no clothes. With the industry’s antecedents, it didn’t take much to figure out how to take advantage of the fact that consolidation had progressed to the point where an oligopoly would economically dominate many markets. By operating across multiple markets and with their deep pockets, they could afford to temporarily bid below their costs just to put a competitor out of business in cutthroat markets and absorb those losses in highly concentrated markets where they were earning above-market returns. Later prosecutions revealed that cartels had formed in many cities during the 1970s and ’80s and that they now used the threat of economic retaliation, which their market power made possible, instead of physical violence to enforce price-fixing arrangements. But the weak link with this new tactic was that it involved meetings to split up territory. And, eventually from inside these sprawling companies that required legions of foot soldiers to operate, someone with a conscience or just a functioning superego would pick up what was going on when they mistakenly tried to win business and make commissions by taking away a customer from a competitor who was a member of the cartel. For a while, a string of convictions and settlements over price fixing in Wisconsin, Georgia, Ohio, Florida, and California were typically settled with antitrust regulators for less than $100,000—chump change relative to the profits earned from the illegal practices. But then in 1988, a nationwide class-action suit for damages, brought by the hungrier plaintiffs’ bar, cost them more than $50 million to settle. A new strategy was urgently needed to provide a means to enforce market power. New Landfill Regulations and Market Power Dovetailing with heightened industry consolidation, as an outgrowth of the 1986 Resource Conservation Recovery Act Amendments pushed by the environmental movement, EPA promulgated new rules in 1991. These set forth enforceable national standards for landfill design, operation, and closure that, because of the cost of compliance, wound up shuttering more than half the unregulated local dumps—from 7,683 down to 3,581—and also increasing the capital at risk during prolonged permit hearings to the tens of millions of dollars and stretching that review period often more than five years, and sometimes longer than 10 years. As a result, one of the great unintended consequences to the public of those so-called Subtitle D set of regulations—coupled with the roiling local hostility to the siting of new disposal facilities—has been the erection of near-insurmountable barriers to new entry in collection as well as disposal. Even though purchasing a few garbage trucks to start up will cost just a couple hundred-thousand dollars, if all the disposal sites in an area fall under the control of an oligopoly, it becomes impossible for a new hauler to break in and compete against the major consolidators that, seeing this coming, were vertically integrated with their own landfills. When it comes time to off-load as his packing trucks top out, the erstwhile competitor will have to queue at one of the cartel’s landfills. There he will be susceptible to price squeezes by being overcharged, sent for a very long wait at the scale house or have his loads given a “white glove” inspection, and turned away for containing proscribed material. For the first time, a strategy appeared that did not necessitate meetings among members of a cartel, which is something squarely unlawful under the Sherman Act that contains criminal and treble damage penalties when two or more companies talk about fixing prices or output. Once all of the landfills in an area fell within the control of a manageable number of like-minded companies, it would only be necessary to obliquely signal each other of an intent to pursue higher profit margins instead of market share. But if problems arose before the endgame arrived, the entire apple cart could be overturned. There are so many centrifugal forces at work in a free market that cartels, especially ones built on tacit signaling, are damnably difficult to sustain. As the 1990s unfurled, speed bumps cropped up along the way, canceling out, for awhile, those unintended opportunities that had been created by Subtitle D. The major consolidators’ financial results went south and suddenly it became unclear whether Wall Street would pull the plug on financing the final acquisitions to consummate the endgame, just short of the end zone. For one thing, the industry proceeded to wildly overbuild landfills, far larger than the one before, when the Flying Dutchman–like epic of the Mobro garbage barge in 1988 was interpreted as a metaphor for a wider garbage crisis. The overhanging overcapacity created enormous downward pressure on pricing for much of the nineties. For another, their hubris that led them to massively diversify into hazardous waste imploded when the manufacturing sector decided it was cheaper to reduce or internalize their waste discharges than risk tort liability and sky fees for Cadillac disposal from the giant waste companies. And their expansion into Europe unraveled when they found themselves ill-equipped to compete in a different culture and regulatory environment. Their stocks went into a slump in 1992 from which they have yet to recover, and that forced a series of write downs, reorganizations, and asset sales. Things might never have gotten back on track to later set the stage for monopoly pricing had it not been for the ironic fact that the continuing confrontations over antitrust suits wound up in an ill-fated effort to marry an incompatible odd couple that was followed by what became a very portentous divorce. Retuning the Image The antitrust suits were slowly drawing a noose around the industry, and a string of environmental lawsuits for polluting weren’t helping anything. The industry’s image problems became part of the reason for the depressed state of its stock. It was time to shed its skin once again. WMI, which had been elected to Rolling Stone magazine’s 1989 Hall of Shame for its environmental record, contented itself with hiring a director of the Environmental Defense Fund to take charge of its new environmental affairs office. Dean Buntrock joined the board of the National Wildlife Fund. The company championed the new environmental cause celebre—recycling. But at BFI, the attacks had become more personal. Consequently, BFI’s attempt at a makeover was more serious and not limited to a cosmetic facial. In 1988, “Mr. Clean,” former EPA Administrator Bill Ruckelshaus, rode in on a white horse to take the top job, becoming the new CEO to clean house at BFI. But when the rubber hit the road, the polished attorney quickly clashed with the company’s inbred culture. Then BFI President John Drury, who had started driving his dad’s garbage truck when he was 14 years old and was a BFI lifer, remembered, “Bill truly thought that the future of disposal would be recycling. I was always opposing it. I wouldn’t accept it.” In the end, Ruckelshaus called Drury “a dinosaur” and, as Drury later recounted the episode, “Bill asked me to move along.” Omitted from his recollections of those days was the fact that the class-action suit also reminded the company about things it wanted to forget. Shown the door after a lifetime with the company, Drury went on to work for Houston-based Sanders Morris Mundy, a regional investment banker that put together financing pools in the environmental field. It was at SMM that the seeds were laid to, phoenix-like, raise the garbage industry from the ashes. Drury’s detour into money management put a new generation of ambitious and still-hungry trash men in direct contact with the managers of private pools of capital. Like Soros Fund Management, Lens Inc., and the Bass Brothers, the institutional bottom fishers who had bought WMI and BFI stock at distress prices, the smart money was said at the same time to be looking for a new horse to back and to take over the mismanaged, but otherwise perfectly good, waste-hauling assets. “We have become convinced that the only way the inherent shareholder value in the company can be realized is with a change in the current top management,” warned Soros Fund manager Stanley Druckenmiller. By the mid-1990s, the founding oligarchy in the waste industry was hemmed in from two directions. On one side, Justice Department regulators seemed to be breathing down its neck with a notice of a national investigation. WMI perceived that any attempt to pick up the pace of acquisitions, previously limited to the slow process of buying small private haulers, by ramping up to merge with other large publicly traded companies would be dead on arrival at the agency’s antitrust division. On the other side, Wall Street had lost confidence in the giant trash firms, pummeled their stock, and called for management’s blood, demanding that further costly acquisitions be shut down until things were back on track. Based on what later transpired, from his office at Sanders Morris, Drury presumably convinced the investors that the problem in the industry was that WMI and BFI “got diverted, and they took their eye off their really significant assets, and we’re not going to do that. Our philosophy is keeping it simple and really focusing on collection and transfer and disposal, which is our power ally.” “Power ally” was a great turn of phrase. He had learned well the art of the deal. Drury reemerged into the solid waste industry in 1994. Long-time industry maven Donald Moorehead, who bought control of a three-year-old small Dallas-based start-up, USAWaste Services, in 1990 when it was just a $2.6-million business, had asked Drury to take over the reins of the company. There Drury was given a chance to prove himself to investors. At USA Waste, Drury’s breathtaking list of trophies that he tacked onto his wall immediately after taking over made clear that he had adopted a new strategy from anything that had gone on before to get to the top fast. While the colossus that became WMI had actually been created by the aggregation of 3,000 small, family-owned haulers over 20 long years, he had the support of investors to implement the idea of merging with other regional consolidators to race to the finish line in record time. He may also have had the insight that a seemingly innocuous upstart could slip under the Justice Department’s raider screen, while WMI or BFI might have felt that they risked being hung out to dry by the Justice Department acting under its merger review authority. In less than the four years that followed, that $3-million company went on a buying binge, spending over $6 billion in an unprecedented merger-and-acquisition spree with Chambers Development, Western Waste, Sanifill, Allied Waste’s Canadian operations, United Waste Systems, TransAmerican, City Management, and American Waste. This incredible ramp up graphically illustrated what winning investors’ confidence could wrought. As a company which had not yet run into the law of large numbers or become so dominant as to elicit regulatory concern, Drury was able to do all this and show the kind of earnings growth that WMI and BFI had not shown in years. Also, he was not seriously impeded by objections from the Department of Justice, which only nicked the company in ordering minor divestitures in merger markets with overlapping assets. While it was impressive, the USA Waste run-up still left too many players in each market to avert competition. To really improve profitability, competition had to be dampened, and Wall Street signaled that it expected the industry to concentrate on improving margins instead of gaining market share if the flow of capital was to continue. With the confidence of investors reinvigorated in a new road-tested generation of waste executives, and with a relatively benign regulatory climate from the Justice Department, the penultimate next step was broached. That involved leveraging the beefed-up regional powerhouses that had made USA Waste Services and Allied Waste Industries into new number-three and number-four players on the national stage, to take over the executive suites at WMI and BFI and combine with the number-one and number-two waste companies in the country, which were twice and triple their size. Tacit Signaling Never before had the solid waste industry been so close to its endgame. It immediately set to work signaling its intentions directly or through the mouths of the investor analysts for the waste sector that landfill prices would be going up, not down, notwithstanding the overcapacity problem. But the mere fact that they are signaling an intent to increase profits does not, by itself, mean that they will either honor their representations or that the new generation of consolidators will not threaten their hold on the market. Not by itself, it may not, but in conjunction with the nature of the industry, it does. The very act of being a consolidator means that the industry has become totally dependent on a continuing infusion of capital to survive. Without that sustenance, the consolidator simply unravels—the stock price crashes, institutional investors rattle the cage and a revolving door of new CEOs parade through, the talented executives flee for the lifeboats, assets are sold off to preserve enough cash flow to pay the bills and meet coverage requirements and customers fall away until the sale price falls to a point where someone who has capital feels that they can money with the remains. And Wall Street, which provided the crucial financing that made it possible for two minnow-eats-whale–style megamergers, has shown that it intends to ensure that its investments bear fruit to salvage its wasting assets. This began with the selection of the new management that it had selected for the ailing giants. And it extended to effectively auditing the waste firms books to make sure that no one dropped rates to pick up share. Clearly, Wall Street is leaving nothing to chance. Acquisition Conduits Then there is the question of whether the raft of new consolidators on the regional scene that have cropped up in this decade means that competition is breaking out and unlikely to be suppressed. Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, another market maker for securities to finance the waste-industry mergers, sent Michael Sulam to WasteExpo, the industry trade show in Houston, to interrogate some of the new generation to find out whether it poses any risk of competition to its investment. Not to worry, he reported back, for the new consolidators are explicitly advertising themselves to Wall Street “as likely ‘acquisition-conduits’ for the larger companies” instead of as “threats.” Now that the endgame is in view and with it the closing down of competition in the solid waste industry, there still remain escape hatches that can, again, upset the apple cart short of the finish line. The major threat to the endgame is that Wall Street might lose its nerve before the last free assets are rolled up by the consolidators. Over the past year, WMI’s and Allied’s stock has lost 70% off their high value because of poor earnings reports. Whether this will happen, it is too early to say, but it cannot be ruled out. The other threats arise if the endgame is reached. The first is that consumers might recoil with sticker shock from the kinds of fee hikes WMI spot tested in March of this year that averaged more than 80%. Like the reaction by industry to the high costs WMI sought to impose on hazardous waste disposal at the beginning of this decade—they reduced the quantity of toxic discharges—homeowners and offices can redouble their efforts to recycle. currently recycling and composting activity is thought to take approximately 30% out of the wastestream. If tipping fees at landfills were to double, for example, major new categories of what is waste today—residential mixed paper and organic material—would be commercially recoverable. That could increase diversion from the landfill to over 60%. And now that the all-consuming Microsoft antitrust case is winding down, it is possible that the Justice Department might see itself clear to pursue more aggressive remedies. It is the fact that the endgame might not be all it is cracked up to be that, in turn, might cause investors to lose heart and turn a deaf ear to the next story the industry tells to restore confidence in the game plan. “Now,” said Frederick Jackson Turner, speaking in July of 1893 at the American Historical Association meeting held at the Chicago World’s Columbian Exposition, “four centuries from the discovery of America, at the end of a hundred years of life under the Constitution, the frontier has gone, and with its going has closed the first period of American history.” In the same epoch when Turner made those observations, the landscape dotted by garbage haulers begun by feisty Dutch and Italian immigrants was the economic equivalent of the Wild West. As our century comes to an end, the industry is on the precipice of being locked down by three or four Wall Street–backed megaconsolidators. That denouement could alter the solid waste industry’s market dynamics no less than the closing of the frontier impacted this country’s psyche a hundred years before.

"Just to clarify: I was asked to present video of the year by MTV! And then they asked me to share any anecdotes I had in my career connected to Aretha Franklin! I shared a part of my journey and thanked Aretha for inspiring me along the way," she wrote. "I did not intend to do a tribute to her! That would be impossible in 2 minutes with all the noise and tinsel of an award show. I could never do her justice in this context or environment." Im with the Winner!! The beautiful @camila_cabello ! So proud of her! 🌈💕🎉. And just to clarify: I was asked to present video of the year by MTV! And then they asked me to share any anecdotes I had in my career connected to Aretha Franklin! I shared a part of my journey and thanked Aretha for inspiring me along the way. I did not intend to do a tribute to her! That would be impossible in 2 minutes with all the noise and tinsel of an award show. I could never do her justice in this context or environment. Unfortunately most people have short attention spans, and are so quick to judge. I love Aretha! R.E.S.P.E.C.T. 🙏🏼. I Love Camilla! Congrats! I LOVE my dress! AND. I love-L O V E!! ♥️ and there is nothing anyone can say or do that will change that. #vmas #postivevibes A post shared by Madonna (@madonna) on Aug 21, 2018 at 9:23am PDT Dressed in flowing black with grandiose flourishes of African jewelry, Madonna's send-off came before she presented the video of the year award to Camila Cabello on Monday night. She spoke at length about her own start in the business and her own career before thanking Franklin for "empowering all of us. R.E.S.P.E.C.T." Cabello then collected the biggest award of the night for her "Havana" video with a bow to Madonna, dedicating the trophy to, you guessed it, Madonna. There was a short video of early Franklin that played before Madonna said that the icon who died Thursday "changed the course of my life," and Franklin's "Respect" played as the night's closing credits rolled. But there was no live musical performance honoring the legend. Some accused Madonna, in her spiky silver headpiece, heavy necklaces and beaded bracelets, of cultural appropriation. Far more accused her of making the show's only tribute to Franklin all about herself. "I'm so lost," radio host Charlamagne Tha God tweeted. "I thought Madonna was supposed to be paying homage to Aretha but all I heard was her paying homage to herself." After describing her teen exit from Detroit to make her name in show business, Madonna said at one point, "So, you are probably all wondering why I am telling you this story." Why, yes. Before she got to the point (she sang "(You Make Me Feel Like) a Natural Woman" acapella at an audition of yore), Madonna meandered through references to Paris, poverty, guitar lessons and finally her backside hanging out at a VMAs show after breaking a stiletto. "Does Madonna know Madonna didn't die?" ESPN's Katie Nolan tweeted. Marc Snetiker of Entertainment Weekly described the speech on Twitter as "Madonna presents an Aretha Franklin tribute by Madonna featuring Madonna with Madonna and Madonna as 'Madonna'." The response was not unlike that from some fans of Prince when Madonna donned a "Purple Rain" suit to honor him soon after his death, at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards. The Madonna Twitter roasting included this from one angry Franklin fan: "Only madonna would tell her life story while honoring a dead Black Woman lmaooo."	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0117.json.gz/line15202

Canadian AIDS Society, Otawa, Ontario. lynneb@cdnaids.ca North American studies suggest that as many as one-third of people living with HIV/AIDS self-medicate with cannabis for relief of physical and stress-related symptoms. Although cannabis remains a controlled substance in Canada, legal access has been granted to people with HIV/AIDS and other serious illness under the Marihuana Medical Access Regulations (MMAR) since 2001. Several years into the programme, however, few Canadians ( approximately 1400) have obtained MMAR approval, suggesting that substantial obstacles remain. This paper reports findings from a 2005 survey (n=197) and focus groups conducted to identify barriers to access to medical cannabis among people living with HIV/AIDS. Most (86%) respondents who reported using cannabis as medicine continue to rely on illegal sources for their supply. They cited lack of information, product quality concerns, and an onerous, confusing application process among other problems mentioned with the MMAR. The findings are discussed in terms of policy suggestions for facilitating access to a legal source of cannabis for medical users.

__label__cc	0.609749	0.390251	'No link' between vitamin D levels and prostate cancer risk A review has concluded that vitamin D levels are not linked to men's chances of developing prostate cancer. Cancer Research UK-funded scientists at the University of Bristol conducted the largest review of existing evidence to date. They found no link between the amount of vitamin D in a man's blood and his risk of prostate cancer. Lead author Rebecca Gilbert, whose findings are published in the journal Cancer Causes and Control, said: 'Understanding the role that vitamin D may play in prostate cancer is important to help further our knowledge about why the disease develops. 'Until now there's been mixed evidence and researchers have not known what role vitamin D plays. But this new review shows that higher or lower levels of vitamin D don't mean men are more or less likely to develop the disease.' Sara Hiom, Cancer Research UK's director of health information, added that while there is 'consistent' evidence that bowel cancer is less common in people with high levels of vitamin D, there is 'no convincing evidence' to suggest it protects against other forms of cancer. The findings come just days after Australian scientists claimed to have found additional evidence of a link between low levels of exposure to sunlight and multiple sclerosis. Vitamin D is manufactured by the skin in response to sunlight and the latest study in Neurology journal found that people with early symptoms of MS had typically been exposed to less sunlight than those with no signs of the neurological condition.

Your browser doesn't recognise available video formats. Stokes' incredible performances in the World Cup, especially in the Lord's final, and his crucial match-winning century in the Ashes Test at Headingley saw him land the prestigious Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy. Accepting the award, voted for by members of the media and former players, Stokes said: "The past 12 months have been incredible for England cricket and to lift the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup for the first time was our greatest achievement. "This award is testament to my team-mates and the support staff that have been there every step of the way. Fundamentally, without the support of these individuals, we would have never achieved our objective of lifting a major trophy." Stokes was impressive with bat and ball throughout the voting period, scoring 719 runs and taking 12 wickets in 20 one-day internationals, as well as 821 runs and 22 wickets in 11 Test matches. The Durham player also pulled off several memorable catches, including his one-handed leaping effort in the World Cup curtain-raiser against South Africa. The 28-year-old was also named in both ICC teams of the year. He was the only English representative in the Test XI, but was joined by wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler in the ODI side. Australia also fared well in the voting, with fast bowler Pat Cummins named Test player of the year for his haul of 59 wickets and prolific batsman Marnus Labuschagne winning emerging player of the year. India opener Rohit Sharma was ODI player of the year, having scored seven 50-overs centuries including five at the World Cup.

__label__wiki	0.586371	0.586371	Advice and Guide, Wonderful Things Seasoning with salt and pepper has taken on new meaning in recent years… for professional and home cooks alike. A spice is a dried seed, fruit, root, bark or vegetative substance used in nutritionally insignificant quantities as a food additive for the purpose of flavoring. Many of the same substances have other uses in which they are referred to by different terms, e. g. in food preservation, medicine, religious rituals, cosmetics, perfumery or as vegetables. For example, turmeric is also used as a preservative; licorice as a medicine; garlic as a vegetable and nutmeg as a recreational drug. Spices are distinguished from herbs, which are leafy, green plant parts used for flavoring purposes. Herbs, such as basil or oregano, may be used fresh, and are commonly chopped into smaller pieces; spices, however, are dried and usually ground into a powder. And to add further to the spices , here is to share the delicious Jing’s Oxtail Soup recipe by Jing Tio , a former accountant in California traveling the world with a suitcase filled with spices and gadgets. Jing Tio is something of a spice whisperer, introducing chefs, and diners, to new flavors. He is a second-generation Indonesian spice trader and a passionate home cook, Tio, 33, was an accountant and property manager in Southern California until his frustration with the lack of high-end culinary equipment and ingredients led him to sell his cars — all six of them — to open Le Sanctuaire in Santa Monica. The Barneys of cooking stores, it sells everything from Hermès porcelain to Pacojet ice-cream makers, Ferran Adrià’s Texturas-brand agar to cooking chopsticks.Tio’s spices were different. His mother supplied him with peppercorns — black, white, red, cubeb, Sichuan, long pepper, four grades of tellicherry — that were still bright and round, not the dusty, desiccated fruits you usually see. “Spices can last maybe two or three years, depending on how well you store them,” Tio says in accented English. “But most of the spice that the consumer gets is already two, three years old.” So he made arrangements with Indonesian spice growers and began selling directly to chefs. “The spice trade is really tricky,” Tio says with a laugh. “People want the money quick. Sometimes they harvest too fast, and the black pepper’s not dry enough, and mold starts growing. And then they cover it — you know when you cut the battery? The black dust? You don’t wanna know!” Now Tio and his mother have a 50-50 partnership with farmers on Java, Sumatra and Banda islands. Tio also uses sources in India, China and Malaysia, changing suppliers whenever quality dips. He is already on his fourth Sichuan-pepper grower on Sumatra. Tio says that he is less interested in novelty, but many of the spices that he imports are still exotic to the American palate, like yarrow flower, cypress nuts and kola-nut powder, all of which sit in large glass jars in a back room of his shop. Asked about the pretty buds in one, Tio says they are pistachio flowers but doesn’t know what to do with them yet. “I just got excited,” he says. Chefs get excited, too, seeing spices that are so fresh as to be unrecognizable: bright green fennel seeds, plump black cardamom pods, still-spiky cloves, curled cinnamon sticks as thick as a cigar. “It’s word of mouth,” Tio says of his expanding clientele. “If somebody likes your products, they just call all their buddies and say, ‘Hey, you ought to check out this spice dude.’ ” He begins by eating at the restaurant he has been summoned to, then packs his suitcase accordingly on the next visit. “I always come up with new stuff, depending on what I think will get the chef excited,” he says. “Really, I’m a muse to them. Not only spice. I bring them books, plates — not all of them, but. . . .” His dream, he says, is to find his “soulmate chef” to work with exclusively, followed by opening his own restaurant. In addition to a new San Francisco location, Tio plans to roll out chef-centric Le Sanctuaires in New York, Chicago and Spain in the next five years. Jing’s Oxtail Soup 4 pounds oxtails, cut into 11/2-inch pieces 4 green cardamom pods 2 sticks cinnamon, preferably Ceylon 3 tablespoons finely chopped onion 5 thin slices ginger 21/4 teaspoons coriander seeds, toasted and ground 11/2 teaspoons cumin seeds, toasted and ground 9 cups beef stock or broth 1/2 cup crisp fried shallots (see Note) 3 sprigs cilantro 1/2 onion, peeled and sliced 3/4 inch thick 2 tomatoes, seeded and sliced 3/4 inch thick 1 bunch cilantro, roughly chopped. NOTE: Fried shallots can be purchased at most Asian markets. To make them at home, slice shallots as thinly as possible, pat dry with paper towels and leave to dry overnight. The next day, heat enough oil for deep-frying to 325 degrees. Fry the shallots until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. 1. Fill a large pot two-thirds full with water, place over high heat and bring to a rolling boil. Add the oxtails and blanch for 5 minutes, then rinse under cold running water. 2. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high until hot. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, chopped onion, garlic and ginger, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the coriander, cumin and turmeric and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the oxtails, beef stock and 1/4 cup of the fried shallots. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and add the cilantro sprigs and 1 tablespoon salt. Simmer, covered, until the meat is falling off the bone, 2 to 21/2 hours. 3. Add the onion and tomato slices and 3 tablespoons of the lime juice. Return to a boil and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes more. Season to taste with more salt and lime juice, as needed. Remove from heat. To serve, place oxtails on soup plates or bowls, and ladle over some of the broth. Garnish with chopped cilantro and fried shallots. Serves 4 to 6.

Influenced by the international ‘skinhead’ movement from the mid-1980s, current extremists drawn largely from the working classes have turned to violence to ‘protect’ white Portugal and Europe against the ‘threat’ posed by multi-racial and multicultural society. Radicalised by the 13-year Colonial War, which started in 1961, and the revolutionary leadership’s behaviour after the 1974 April Revolution, their predecessors were active in politically violent organisations aimed at stopping the advance of Communism in Portugal and safeguarding the Portuguese multi-racial and pluri-continental empire. Researchers at the University of Birmingham and Lisbon University Institute (ISCTE) have published their findings in Perspectives on Terrorism. Their findings coincide with publication of a comprehensive Western European right-wing extremism database. They note that far-right political violence in Portugal could be found in two different periods: transition from authoritarianism to democracy (between 25 April 1974 and the mid-1980s) and from the second half of the 1980s to the present. Dr. Raquel Da Silva , from the University of Birmingham, commented: “Throughout the four decades of Portuguese democracy, extreme right-wing political violence has profoundly changed - both in how it is carried out and who is involved. “In the transition to democracy, armed clandestine networks grew out of nationalist groups or paramilitary organisations within the deposed authoritarian regime. More recently, we’ve witnessed a fusion of the old extreme right’s ultra-nationalism with the neo-Nazi racism of the skinhead subculture.” The researchers discovered that the Movimento de Acção Nacional / National Action Movement (MAN) was key in uniting nationalist militants and skinheads. The authorities dismantled MAN, but it was replaced by the Portugal Hammerskins (PHS). Dr. Riccardo Marchi, from Lisbon University Institute, commented: “There is a notable difference between these two periods of extremism. The transition generation mobilised attacks on the headquarters of leftist parties or took up arms against selected targets. “However, the more recent generation sparked no armed campaign against specific targets, with the most serious episodes being murders in 1989 and 1995 that resulted from spontaneous waves of urban violence.” Militants operating during the transition period enjoyed a perceived victory against the extreme left forces - allowing them to avoid any kind of judicial consequences in Portugal’s post-revolutionary society. However, the violent groups of the late 1980s and their early 21st century counterparts remain isolated - disconnected from mainstream politics and alienating moderate militants who disagree with using violence. Researchers also note that, although some transition militants were recruited from the working classes, many had a higher academic background and came from the middle-upper classes or nobility. In contrast, the following decades saw the violent far-right in Portugal draw its support from the working class - in line with the international skinhead movement.

WHEATON – The Wheaton-Warrenville Community Unit School District 200 Board of Education has approved a new four-year contract with Superintendent Jeff Schuler. The performance-based contract will run from July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2022. Schuler started with the district in 2014 at an annual salary of $225,000. No district administrators, including Schuler, received a salary increase for the current school year. Schuler requested the board keep his current $238,586 annual base salary the same as the 2016-17 school year to be consistent with other administrator contracts. During their Dec. 13 meeting, board members voted 6-1 to approve extending Schuler's contract. The contract calls for the board to increase Schuler's salary annually to keep pace with inflation. In addition, he has the opportunity to earn an annual performance bonus – not to be added to his salary – of 2 percent of his base salary if the board deems his overall performance rating to be "excellent." If his performance rating is judged to be "proficient," Schuler will receive an additional annual base salary increase of 1 percent of the prior contract year's annual base salary. Performance goals include increasing the college and career readiness of the district's students, achieving long-term financial stability and promoting student learning. The new contract also calls for Schuler to receive a one-time board contribution of $10,000 if it is extended again at the end of his contract or $5,250 if it isn't. Voting against the contract extension was board member Jim Gambaiani. "Dr. Schuler, during your time as superintendent, you have done a solid job in providing direction and leadership for this district," he said, in reading from a prepared statement. "My prepared comments tonight regarding this resolution are specifically related to certain elements within the proposal, not your performance." Gambaiani contended Schuler's contract should include the elimination of automatic annual salary increases. He noted the district is facing many financial challenges, including securing additional funding for a new early learning center as well as building maintenance and capital improvements. And he said the district could face additional financial challenges, including a property tax freeze and changes to the school funding formula. "Because of these financial challenges, I will not support the resolution to extend the superintendent contract as currently written," he said. Board member Jim Mathieson, however, said he thought the new contract was "a very reasonable and appropriate contract and will reasonably motivate Dr. Schuler to provide continued leadership for the community." Board Vice President Brad Paulsen said Schuler came to the board to voluntarily freeze his salary for the current school year. "We accepted that as a board," Paulsen said. "It was you that came to us with that." President Jim Vroman said the extension of Schuler's contract will provide stability to the district "going forward."

The new 100-ball tournament was officially launched today, with the eight franchises officially named and the first batch of players allocated, including England's centrally-contracted Test contingent. Danni Wyatt and Anya Shrubsole have been signed for Southern Brave women's team while Hampshire Women's captain Katie George, from Romsey will play for Welsh Fire. Hampshire Women's captain Katie George (fourth from right) and Jofra Archer (far right) will be playing for Welsh Fire and Southern Brave respectively during The Hundred Ben Stokes will play for the Leeds-based Northern Super Chargers, who selected England's man of the moment ahead of Yorkshire pair Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow. The Headingley side, which represents Yorkshire and Durham, had an embarrassment of riches to choose from and could not look past Stokes, the undisputed star of the summer. Test captain Root was picked up by Nottingham-based Trent Rockets instead, with Bairstow joining Welsh Fire. Elsewhere, Jos Buttler heads up Manchester Originals, Chris Woakes represents Birmingham Phoenix and Sam Curran joins brother Tom at Oval Invincibles. Each team was also able to pick up two 'icon' players from their local area, as well as the first two representatives of their women's side. World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan is the leading man for the Lord's franchise, London Spirit, with England Women's captain Heather Knight also heading to the home of cricket. Speaking about his new assignment Root said: "I'm incredibly excited to play for the Trent Rockets in The Hundred. "The best players in the world are coming here to compete and we're going to get the chance to test ourselves against them once again. There has never been a more exciting time for cricket." Bairstow welcomed the chance to represent Welsh Fire, even though returning to Yorkshire in the opposition ranks might take some getting used to. "I enjoy Cardiff, I made my England debut there and it's an amazing place," he said. "It's a new competition, a new format and new teams. It will feel weird going to Headingley and being in the away dressing room, but it's an amazing honour to be one of the guys to figurehead a team." Root is excited to spearhead the Trent Rockets in the tournament. The England Test captain added on Sky Sports: "I love playing at Trent Bridge, one of my favourite Test venues. Really looking forward to it, there are some great people involved. "Visually you are starting to see what it will look like, it's coming together quite nicely. The draft will be very interesting to see where people are going to end up. It is very exciting. "There are some big names in there (the draft). When you have got great players like that, you are guaranteed exciting cricket. It's going to make for a great tournament I'm sure."

__label__wiki	0.596981	0.596981	Aussie health coach snaps up a piece of European paradise for just $1.60 An Aussie has paid for an Italian mansion by spending no more than you would on Macca’s loose change menu. Here’s how he did it. Silvia Marchetti news.com.auJune 8, 20199:36am Housing Prices: Projecting the decline into the future With Australian housing prices declining rapidly over the past year, first homebuyers could potentially corner the market. How one Aussie got a foot into the European property market for just $1.60. Picture: Salvatore Catalano. Source: SuppliedSource:Supplied Imagine being offered a free home and at the end getting something close to a palace. An Aussie millennial recently flew to Italy hoping to buy a crumbly house for just €1 ($A1.62) but instead grabbed a well-preserved mansion. For the same price. It’s not a joke. Mark Kopun, a 32-year-old health coach and renovator from Adelaide has snatched a historic stone building in the picturesque, idyllic town of Mussomeli in deep Sicily, surrounded by sheep-grazing fields and olive groves, for the cost of an espresso. “A friend of mine called me a few months ago with this awesome, incredible news he saw online that Mussomeli was giving away so many buildings practically for free, I just couldn’t wait. I contacted the town hall and hopped on the first plane to Sicily, rushing there”, Kopun told News.com.au. Mark Kopun's new Mussomeli abode. Picture: SuppliedSource:Supplied The Aussie health coach is thrilled with his purchase (although, it'll need some TLC). Picture: Supplied.Source:Supplied In a desperate attempt to lure newcomers, Mussomeli’s authorities have already sold over 100 empty homes for €1 and another 400 are on the market. They liaise between old owners who want to get rid of dusty family houses and new buyers looking for a cozy place in gorgeous Italy to call home. “First thought was: too good to be true. But it wasn’t. Since my first visit I’ve been there several times already to admire my new house, I hope to move in as soon as possible”, says Kopun, who has Italian blood running in his veins. Selling abandoned houses in depopulating Italian towns for €1 has become a fad, drawing enthusiastic buyers from across the world. Mussomeli has made things easier by setting-up a real estate agency to handle the project and an online platform showcasing available properties. The town of Mussomeli is a sleepy one, but isn't as isolated as some in the region. Picture: Supplied.Source:Supplied Throughout the town, lavish Baroque palazzos are juxtaposed to Arab-style courtyards and humble farmer dwellings. Picture: Maurizio di Maria. Source: Supplied.Source:Supplied In February Kopun met with a town councillor and was given an exclusive tour of the €1 dwellings. After seeing a couple of houses he picked a lovely, 3 storey golden-coloured mansion in the historical centre’s labyrinth of narrow cobbled alleys, sunny piazzas and stone portals. “It’s in a very good shape and I plan to do a great part of the renovation myself, live the pleasure of seeing my house being brought back to life again”, he says. Mark got lucky. Several buildings, abandoned decades ago when families migrated elsewhere in search of a brighter future, are in desperate need of repair. But his requires just minimal work, mostly repaint the walls, fix the windows and bathrooms. The catch is the renovation must be carried-out within 3 years from the purchase and buyers must cough up a €5.000 (approximately $8,000 AUD) security deposit which will be given back once completed. Kopun's building dates back to the 1700s. Picture: SuppliedSource:Supplied Kopun nabbed one of 500 homes on offer in the picturesque Italian town. Picture: SuppliedSource:Supplied His building, dating back to the 1700s, is 200 square metres wide and features marble staircases and white majolica flowery floor and wall tiles. It has a double entrance on different streets, tall windows with ancient, thick iron bars and several balconies. There’s a panoramic terrace overlooking the rooftops and valley, and even a garage which is a luxury especially during summer when the village is jammed with tourist cars. Renovation works in his case should be no more than €20.000 (approximately $32,000 AUD). The house comes with many plus points, including a unique location and gourmet food. Mussomeli is a heavenly retreat. Lavish Baroque palazzos are juxtaposed to Arab-style courtyards and humble farmer dwellings. The town sits on a hill renown for its delicious honey and stunning, eerie fortress. Silence rules in the surrounding plains. Etna volcano can be spotted in the distance. Pristine beaches and the Valley of the Temples are a stone’s throw away. Views of the Mt Etna volcano can be seen from Mussomeli higher points. Picture: SuppliedSource:Supplied The picturesque town is a maze of quaint courtyards and stunning architecture. Picture: Salvatore Catalano. Source: SuppliedSource:Supplied But there’s a rub: the hassle of Italy’s hellish red tape and long, complex procedures that leave outsiders like Mark baffled and delay the dream-come-true. And which, yes, have a cost: total administration fees are between €2.500 and €4.000 (approximately $4,000 and $6,400 AUD). “I have not started the renovation yet, the real estate company had problems organising my paperwork so I will finalise next time I go back” this summer, he says. Mark has so far paid just €400 ($646 AUD) because the property boundary map was missing when he last visited in April, hoping to get over with the bureaucratic knots. The map did not exist when the house was first built and is required for the purchase deed, which must be signed in the presence of a notary and a translator given he’s a foreigner. One of the staircases in Kopun's home. Picture: Supplied.Source:Supplied Mark Kopun plans to do most of the renovations himself. Picture: SuppliedSource:Supplied But in the meantime the former owners have already handed over the house keys so Mark is free to come and go as he pleases. “I fell in love with the town at first sight. What struck me about Mussomeli is how open and welcoming residents are. They showed me around, we’ve spent evenings together talking at bars, they introduced me to other people. It’s like a big family, everyone knows each other”, says Kopun. He keeps his own car parked in a friend’s garage to use whenever he drops by. “Here you have everything: shops, bars, clubs, it’s a lively place. A small town, but not that small when compared to other Sicilian ones that are really isolated.” As soon as his new residence is fully refurbished — hopefully by next year — he plans to settle down for good and start working in Mussomeli. “My dream is to export my healthy lifestyle, teach locals how to eat green and exercise more to keep fit. I’d like to open a holistic shop on the ground floor of my home”. — Silvia Marchetti is a Rome-based freelance reporter.

NSSR > Miriam Ticktin Associate Professor of Anthropology ticktinm@newschool.edu Miriam Ticktin is Associate Professor of Anthropology at The New School for Social Research. She was Chair of Anthropology from 2016-2018, Co-Director of the Zolberg Institute on Migration and Mobility between 2013-2016 and Director of Gender Studies from 2012-2013. She received her PhD in Anthropology at Stanford University and the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris, France, and an MA in English Literature from Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. Before coming to the New School, Miriam was an Assistant Professor in Women’s Studies and Anthropology at the University of Michigan, and also held a postdoctoral position in the Society of Fellows at Columbia University. Miriam works at the intersections of the anthropology of medicine and science, law, and transnational and postcolonial feminist theory. Her research has focused in the broadest sense on what it means to make political claims in the name of a universal humanity: she has been interested in what these claims tell us about universalisms and difference, about who can be a political subject, on what basis people are included and excluded from communities, and how inequalities get instituted or perpetuated in this process. She is the author of Casualties of Care: Immigration and the Politics of Humanitarianism in France (UC Press, 2011), co-editor of In the Name of Humanity: the Government of Threat and Care (with Ilana Feldman, Duke UP 2010), and a founding co-editor of the journal Humanity: An International Journal of Human Rights, Humanitarianism and Development. Her newest work looks at emerging political and scientific technologies mobilized in the name of suffering -- expanding humanitarianism to ecological and planetary levels -- and how these help to redraw the boundaries between humans and non-humans, and new forms of political inclusion and exclusion. She is currently at work on two related book projects: 1) a short book on innocence as a political concept, and how it produces an unending search for purity; 2) a book on practices of containment at the border, from border walls to spaces of quarantine, and how these are shaped by encounters between humans and non-humans, from wildlife to viruses. The premise of the book is that we cannot understand the politics of border walls without also taking into account how they intersect with and are shaped by the politics of health, environment and conservation.

IVRCL Assets and Holdings Ltd, a subsidiary of the IVRCL Group, won a Rs.1,617 crore project from the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) for upgrading the four-lane divide carriageways into six-lane on the Gundugolanu-Rajamundry section in Andhra Pradesh, the company said in a regulatory filing. The project is to be constructed within 30 months from the appointed date. The firm also won an order worth Rs.1,586 crore for four-laning the Patiala-Bhatinda section of National Highway 64 by the Punjab government. This project is to be constructed within 30 months. With the receipt of these highway projects, the cumulative value of the assets stands at Rs.17,789 crore ($3.48 billion).

In this indictment of America’s asylum process, two Haitian migrants find their lives in stasis after their journey through multiple countries stalls at the US-Mexico border in Tijuana. When friends Robens and James are separated, this contemplative look at a bond forged through struggle shifts into a moving exploration of the longing to discover one’s place, and the barriers—both figurative and all too literal—that stand in the way. The Journey of MonaLisa Thursday, November 7 ~ Nicole Costa’s 2019 Chilean movie gets its international premiere with the filmmaker in attendance at Cinépolis Chelsea at 9:30pm. Chilean-born performer and writer Iván Monalisa fully embraces his dual selves: scrappy, masculine Iván as well as diva, transvestite sex-worker Monalisa. A reunion with filmmaker Nicole Costa, Iván’s former college classmate, provides the opportunity for a journey through this undocumented transgender immigrant’s daily life of sex, drugs and poetry—as well as a quest for US legalization. Pragmatic and humorous, Iván Monalisa navigates the gritty underbelly of New York City with charisma and charm. Friday, November 8, 2019 ~ Asif Kapadia’s screens with the filmmaker in attendance at Cinépolis Chelsea at 8:15pm Filmmaker Asif Kapadia was on the 2015 Short List for his Oscar®-winning film Amy.

The Edge of Democracy Saturday, November 9 ~ Petra Costa’s 2019 Brazilian film screens with filmmakers in attendance at Cinépolis Chelsea at 11am. In 1985, Brazil reclaimed democracy after decades of military dictatorship. At the heart of the country’s democratic reforms was the progressive Workers’ Party, which elected Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva the nation’s president in 2002, followed by his protege, Dilma Rousseff, its first female leader, in 2010. But neither could escape the powerful dual forces of institutional corruption and populist rage that polarized Brazil. Interweaving the personal and the political, this fascinating exploration of democracy in crisis serves as an urgent cautionary tale with relevance for our own political reality. Courtesy of Netflix.

__label__cc	0.677752	0.322248	Arizona / Burgers / Closed in 2018 / Gone But Not Forgotten The Original Wineburger – Phoenix, Arizona (CLOSED) March 4, 2008 October 5, 2018 - 1 Comment The Original Wineburger in Phoenix, Arizona Every year, children of all ages fall in love all over again with the heart-warming 1947 Christmas movie, Miracle on 34th Street. We’re aghast when the district attorney demands that defense lawyer Fred Gailey provide “authoritative proof” that Kris Kringle is “the one and only Santa Claus.” We share Gailey’s seeming desperation when he offers as evidence, a solitary letter addressed to Santa Claus at the NYC Courthouse. We’re enraged when the D.A. retorts that one letter is hardly enough proof, and are proudly vindicated when Gailey has guards march in with huge bags overflowing with letters. We revel in Gailey’s argument, “Your Honor, every one of these letters is addressed to Santa Claus. The Post Office has delivered them. Therefore the Post Office Department, a branch of the Federal Government, recognizes this man, Kris Kringle, to be the one and only Santa Claus.” We cheer at justice being served when the sympathetic judge, desperate not to be portrayed as the man who found Santa Claus guilty, declares, “Uh, since the United States Government declares this man to be Santa Claus, this court will not dispute it. Case dismissed.” Authoritative proof! That has been in dispute for years when it comes to where the first hamburger was served in America more than a century ago. The Library of Congress recognizes Louis Lunch in New Haven, Connecticut as the restaurant which created America’s very first hamburger and who am I to argue with such an authoritative source. In 1900 when Louis Lassen first ground up beef, grilled it and served it between two slices of bread, he had no idea his new creation would become a national obsession for Americans–13 billion burgers according to one source and three hamburgers per American every seven days according to another. The hamburgers at Louis Lunch have changed little since 1895. Each one is made from beef found fresh every day and served between two slices of toast. Cheese, tomato and onion are the only acceptable garnish. It is considered a “corruption” of the burger’s classic taste for mustard or ketchup to be added. A neighborhood hang-out Jeff Lassen, the fourth generation descendant of the father of the hamburger, emphasizes that it’s all about the beef. He wants diners to taste the quality of the beef his restaurant serves. A century after its invention, the hamburger has evolved from the epitome of simplicity crafted at Louis Lunch to one of the most diverse and innovative sandwiches on Earth. The toppings added to burgers is limited to the cook’s imagination. Gourmet toppings at high-end restaurants include foi gras, black truffles and even lobster. In the Hawaiian Islands, burgers may include pineapple slices. Some areas in the south add coleslaw or fried eggs to their burgers. In Wisconsin, butter burgers are famous. Then, of course, there’s green chile, the choice of New Mexico’s purveyors of fine burgers. When a hamburger is ameliorated, it’s almost always by adding an ingredient, not by tampering with the sacrosanct taste of beef. If high-quality beef is used, there’s little need for more than salt and maybe pepper and garlic. In Phoenix, one restaurant has been adding wine to their burgers since 1965. That’s more than forty years of, some might say, tampering with one of nature’s perfect foods. Beer Battered Onion Scoops The Original Wineburger starts off with certified black angus beef so there’s no argument about the quality of the beef there. Fresh beef is shaped into a ball until an order is placed and the previous round of orders have been cleared from the grill. Each patty is then transferred onto the well-seasoned grill and pressed into shape with a spatula. Although I generally frown on the spatula press, this burger loses none of its flavor because (unlike at LotaBurger), that’s the last time that meat desiccating heresy is practiced. While the beef is being grilled, the cook will spritz it with a generous squirt of Sangria wine, causing the grill to hiss and spit and steam to rise to the heavens. The buns are lightly toasted on the grill, too. Though booth seating is available, it might be preferable to sit on the bar in close proximity to the cook who has mastered the practice of crafting Wineburgers to perfection. Because the grill is small, he can only prepare about a dozen burgers at a time, but does so with the flair and panache of a seasoned veteran. Each burger is garnished with lettuce, sliced onion, tomato and cheese (American, Swiss, Cheddar or Blue Cheese)–one more ingredient than a burger at Louis Lunch. Mustard and ketchup are available at each booth, but neither is really needed. Optional burger toppings include sauerkraut, mushrooms, green chili (the menu’s spelling, not mine), jalapenos and bacon. The Super Wineburger The beef is slightly more than medium rare on the inside and the wine flavor is subtle. It doesn’t detract in the least from the taste of very good beef. In fact, with or without the wine, this would be an outstanding burger–juicy and brimming with flavor. The patty extends beyond the Frisbee-sized buns on which it is served. At a third pound for a standard Wineburger or two-thirds pound for a Super Wineburger, it will easily take two hands (or a catcher’s mitt) or to hold all the deliciousness. The menu includes “sandwiches and stuff” such as a Chicago red hot dog (a half-pound, all-beef frank), Rueben sandwiches, BLTs and more. Fantastic finger foods, all of which are beer-battered, are the perfect side for the Wineburger. An excellent choice are the onion “scoops,” similar to onion rings except that they’re shaped like strips instead of rings. They’re also better than most onion rings with a pronounced taste of high-quality onion lightly battered in beer. We might never know what Louis Lassen might think of all the ways in which his creation has been altered, but I’d bet he would have enjoyed the Wineburger.

During a news conference broadcast by local media Saturday evening, Columbia Police Chief Skip Holbrook said that 24-year-old Nathaniel David Rowland had been charged after a joint investigation by the Clarendon County Sheriff's Office, SLED and Columbia police. "This is a homicide investigation," he said. Holbrook also gave details on how their investigation led to Rowland's arrest. A mugshot of Nathaniel David Rowland provided by the Columbia Police Department on Twitter. (Photo: PROVIDED/Columbia Police Department) Friends of 21-year-old Josephson filed a missing persons report around 1:30 p.m. Friday. They told police they were separated from her the night before in the Five Points district and had not been able to get in touch with her after she did not return to The Hub, an apartment complex on Main Street where she lived with friends. Columbia police began their investigation at The Hub and Five Points. Just before 4 p.m. Friday, Clarendon County Sheriff's deputies responded to a report of a body found in a rural area. Turkey hunters found the body in a field near a wooded area about 40 feet off a dirt road. "The spot would be difficult to get to unless you knew how to get there," Holbrook said. Around that same time, Columbia police publicized Josephson was missing and shared details of a related vehicle. A photo of Samantha Josephson provided to the public by Columbia police during the search for the missing USC student. (Photo: PROVIDED/Columbia Police Department) Around 3 a.m. Saturday, a Columbia canine officer on patrol spotted a black Chevrolet Impala two blocks from the Five Points area and made a routine traffic stop. When the officer asked the driver to step out of the vehicle, the driver fled on foot. The officer took the driver into custody after a foot chase and returned to the vehicle, where blood was discovered. SLED responded to the vehicle and found "a lot of blood" in the trunk and passenger compartment of the vehicle. After processing at the state lab, SLED determined the blood belonged to Josephson. Her cell phone was also found in the vehicle, Holbrook said, as well as liquid bleach, window cleaner and germicide wipes. A child safety seat was located in the backseat of the vehicle and child locks were activated, Holbrook said. Holbrook said the investigation determined Rowland was driving the Chevy Impala Friday morning and pulled up near the Bird Dog bar at 2:09 a.m. Based on surveillance video, police believe Josephson was waiting there along Harden Street for an Uber ride and entered the car mistakenly. Josephson's body was located in an area known to Rowland, a place where he recently resided, Holbrook said. Arrest warrants were being processed and served Saturday evening, however, Holbrook said the investigation is ongoing. "Our hearts are broken ... it's never easy to stand before a family and explain how a loved one was murdered," Holbrook said at the press conference. "Words can't describe what they're going through." Samantha Josephson found dead: suspect car photo, surveillance photo of ...

Hansen M.D. Professor of Surgery, Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery School of Medicine Juliana Hansen, MD, has served as the Division Chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at OHSU since 2000. Her training in San Francisco with some of the pioneers of aesthetic surgery, microsurgery and reconstructive techniques led to a particular interest in microsurgical techniques for breast reconstruction. By maintaining an active cosmetic surgery practice as well as a reconstructive practice, Dr. Hansen feels that she can give her breast cancer patients the best possible results.

__label__wiki	0.622783	0.622783	Sunday Review\|The Dangers of Donald Trump https://nyti.ms/2dYpRDl The Dangers of Donald Trump Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump in Johnstown, Pa., on October 21.Credit...Damon Winter/The New York Times IN last Sunday’s column, I wrote about the dangers that a Hillary Clinton presidency poses for the country. Since this is the final week for Hillary skeptics to agonize over whether to cast a vote for Donald Trump, it seems appropriate to outline why the risks of Trump are so distinctive as to throw the perils of a Clinton presidency into relative eclipse. This is a challenging thing to explain because Trump is, among recent American politicians, sui generis. The mistakes and blunders that an establishment liberal like Clinton is likely to make can be envisioned by looking at peers like Angela Merkel, at recent occupants of the White House, at Hillary’s own record. But there are no obvious analogues for a President Trump; all the comparables, from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Silvio Berlusconi, only reflect part of what we would get with the Republican nominee as a superpower’s president. So considering the dangers of Trump requires a grounded speculation, which is what I’ll attempt here. These are not my worst-case scenarios: They do not involve Trump making baldly authoritarian moves or accidentally touching off nuclear war. Rather, they’re three baseline dangers for a Trump administration, three perils that we would very likely face. The first is sustained market jitters, leading to an economic slump. Trump’s election alone would probably induce a Brexit-esque stock market dip, but the real problem would be what happened next. Instead of Theresa May’s steadiness inspiring a return to fundamentals, you would have the spectacle — and it will be a spectacle — of the same Trump team that drop-kicked its policy shop and barely organized a national campaign trying to staff up an administration. Even without his promised pivot to mercantilism and trade war, a White House run as a Trump production is likely to mainline anxiety into the economy, sidelining capital, discouraging hiring and shaving points off the G.D.P. The second peril is major civil unrest. Some of Trump’s supporters imagine that his election would be a blow to left-wing activists, that his administration would swiftly reverse the post-Ferguson crime increase. This is a bit like imagining that a President George Wallace would have been good for late-1960s civil peace. In reality, Trump’s election would be a gift to bad cops and riot-ready radicals in equal measure, and his every intervention would pour gasoline on campuses and cities — not least because as soon as any protest movement had a face or leader, Trump would be on cable bellowing ad hominems at them. The third likely highly-plausible peril, and by far the most serious, is a rapid escalation of risk in every geopolitical theater. It’s probably true that Trump, given his pro-Russia line, would be somewhat less likely than Clinton to immediately stumble into confrontation with Vladimir Putin over Syria. But it’s silly to imagine Moscow slipping into a comfortable détente with a President Trump; Putin is more likely to pocket concessions and keep pushing, testing the orange-haired dealmaker at every opportunity and leaving Trump poised, very dangerously, between overreaction and his least-favorite position — looking weak. That’s just Russia: From the Pacific Rim to the Middle East, revisionist powers will set out to test Trump’s capacity to handle surprise, hostile actors will seek to exploit the undoubted chaos of his White House, and our allies will build American fecklessness into their strategic plans. And again, all of this is likely to happen without Trump doing the wilder things he’s kind-of sort-of pledged to do — demanding tribute from allies, trying to “take the oil,” etc. He need only be himself in order to bring an extended period of risk upon the world. The history of geopolitics prior to the Pax Americana is rife with examples of why this sort of testing should be feared. Overall, Trump’s foreign policy hazing, his rough introduction to machtpolitik, promises more danger for global stability — still a real and valuable thing, recent crises notwithstanding — than the risks incurred by George W. Bush’s interventionism, Barack Obama’s attempt at offshore balancing, or (yes) Hillary Clinton’s possible exposure of classified material to the Chinese, the Russians and Anthony Weiner’s sexting partners. There is no algorithm that can precisely calibrate how to weigh global instability against the reasons that remain for conservatives to vote for Trump. No mathematical proof can demonstrate that the chance of a solidly-conservative Supreme Court justice isn’t worth a scaled-up risk of great power conflict. But I think that reluctant Trump supporters are overestimating the systemic durability of the American-led order, and underestimating the extent to which a basic level of presidential competence and self-control is itself a matter of life and death — for Americans, and for human beings the world over. I may be wrong. But none of my fears (and I have many) of what a Hillary Clinton presidency will bring are strong enough to make me want to run the risk of being proven right.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0117.json.gz/line15250

Posted in Wyoming July 04, 2019 by Kim Magaraci You’ll Never Forget The Story Of The Most Hated Man In Wyoming And His Rotting, Abandoned Ship Wyoming is full of quirky and odd history. Back when Yellowstone was first established as a National Park, there were always people trying to take advantage of the tourists coming to experience this wonder. One such man – E.C. Waters – was eventually driven out of the park, banned for life, and ended up the most hated man in Wyoming. Yellowstone Lake is one of the most incredible natural wonders in Wyoming - but did you know the story of the shipwreck on Stevenson Island? Flickr / K. Magaraci This is a tale of someone once called the most hated man in Wyoming - Ella C. Waters. Starting in 1891, E.C. Waters (then General Manager of the Yellowstone Park Association) began a steamship transportation route between Lake Yellowstone and West Thumb. Facebook / Old Yellowstone Travelers were eager to avoid the bumpy, dusty stagecoach ride around the lake and much preferred the breezy, scenic boat trip. However, E.C. Waters charged an fee on top of what the stagecoach companies charged, and tourists were not too pleased with having to pay additional transport fees. Despite the extra cost, the Zillah was often full to capacity, binging 125 visitors at a time across the lake. Waters used his position as General Manager to expand his operations, and began selling small groceries, offering side trips, renting small boats to tourists, and even providing blacksmith services. He constructed several small launches, and in 1896, he placed bison and elk on Dot Island and began to use them as a tourist attraction. By 1904, Waters' exorbitant $3 charge for a ride from West Thumb to Yellowstone Lake Hotel was starting to irritate passengers. The Park suggested bringing in competing boat companies, and Waters fought back. Facebook / USGS Volcanoes The Zillah had fallen into disrepair, and passengers began to worry if it was seaworthy. Waters decided to commission a much larger vessel - named after himself, of course - and brough tit from Dubuque, Iowa to Yellowstone Lake. He requested a permit to carry 500 passengers at a time, and the Park Administration refused. The large E.C. Waters never made more than a few test runs across the lake, because Waters himself refused to accept a permit for fewer passengers. Facebook / Paddlewheelers and Steamboats of the World By 1907, E.C. Waters was barred from operating his ships in Yellowstone Park. The Zillah had fallen into disrepair, and was scrapped. The E.C. Waters, never receiving its passenger permit, was sailed to Stevenson Island, in the middle of the lake. It was docked in a cove that was typically safe from winter ice, but in 1921, it was pushed up onto the beach by the elements. In 1926, Park officials salvaged some of the ship's machinery, and the boiler was used to heat the Lake Hotel for the next 46 years. Today, the remnants of the once elegant E.C. Waters sit, rotting and decaying, on Stevenson Island. In the end, it was Waters' greed that led to him being chased from the park, and his prize steamship abandoned. Facebook / National Park Services Submerged Resources Center The Ship remained on Stevenson Island, and provided shelter for various activities not quite sanctioned by the park. Boaters hid Moonshine operations in the hull, parties would be thrown, and eventually, the park decided to do away with the eyesore. So, in the winter of 1930, two rangers sailed out with a can of kerosene and burned it. The photo above shows the remnants of the resilient E.C. Waters today. If you're looking to get up close with the storied shipwreck of Yellowstone Lake, head out on the Lake Queen. Facebook / Yellowstone National Park Lodges This modern ship offers one-hour tours of the Lake, including a stop at Stevenson Island to hear the story of the E.C. Waters and the man whose greed landed him a lifetime ban from Yellowstone National Park. You can learn more about the Lake Queen tour online here.

Tech Mobile Contactless Marketing Could Turn The U.S. E... Risk/Compliance PF World 2019 Appeals Court Ruling Has Implications for Submerchant Contracts Posted by Staff Report \| Nov 13, 2019 \| Recent, Risk/Compliance The process of contract drafting and negotiation can be a test of patience. Initially, it seems that each word is scrutinized by all of the parties involved. The process can feel like overkill for documents that are often then tucked into a drawer, part of the endless paper byproduct of running a business. Unless the contract terms wind up in court. An appeals court ruling earlier this year sheds light on the importance of submerchant contracts and what they tell payment facilitators about their rights and obligations, according to Holli Targan, partner at the law firm Jaffe Raitt Heuer & Weiss. The court case, Spec’s v. First Data, concerns a data breach that impacted a Texas-based chain of liquor stores. After the breach, an investigation determined that the merchant’s security measures did not meet Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requirements. Visa and Mastercard levied fines on the acquiring bank, which in turn passed them along to First Data. First Data then tried to pass them along to the merchant by withholding payments and placing the funds in a reserve account. The merchant sued First Data and pointed to the limitation of liability clause in its contract, claiming it was not responsible for what the contract referred to as “indirect or consequential damages.” First Data in turn argued that the assessments levied by the card networks were in fact damages that resulted directly from the merchant’s lack of compliance. But the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee disagreed, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit affirmed the district court’s finding. “The data breaches, resulting reimbursement to cardholders, and levying of assessments, though natural results of Spec’s Family’s PCI DSS non-compliance, did not necessarily follow from it. As Spec’s points out, a non-compliant merchant might never suffer a data security breach. Moreover, the card brands exercise discretion in issuing assessments, failing to levy them in every situation and never for PCI DSS non-compliance alone,” the court wrote in its opinion. The outcome of this case has two important lessons for payments providers, including payment facilitators, Targan said. One, PFs should review their submerchant contracts with their attorneys and revise the language if necessary, in light of this ruling. “The court found that these card brand assessments for security breaches were consequential damages. Most commercial contracts say that neither party is liable for consequential damages. Because the court found that this kind of fee fell into that category, the merchant was not liable for it,” she said. “So, because of that, it’s important that payment facilitators take a look at their merchant agreements. A merchant could now argue that it is not liable for card brand penalties because of this court case.” The second, broader lesson is the overall importance of submerchant contracts and the specificity of the language they contain. “You have to be crystal clear in the contract. To the extent that you can be as specific as possible, it would be to your benefit,” Targan said. This outcome points out how critical contracts really are, she said. While they may remain tucked away as long as a relationship is going well, a PF will need to rely on them if something unexpected happens. “Pay attention to the obligations and the rights you’re signing up for whenever you execute any contract,” Targan said. “They’re there to protect you, and you need to make sure that they’re right.” PreviousPF RealPage Continues Acquisition Spree with Buildium NextHow Becoming a PF Improves the Merchant Experience State Money Transmitter Rule Slams PFs, ISOs Why Did Most Merchants Miss The EMV Deadline?

The company offers amazing tea and is a heritage brand, but it was presented merely as a line of stand alone products packaged in a clutter of information and colour. The brief was simple - to introduce a line of sophisticated packaging that is in sync with modern packaging guidelines and design standards, without compromising on the mandatory information to be placed on the every pack. With a large number of more established players in the market, with a much more refined aesthetic, the mission was to portray the heritage brand (Trice was established in 1896!) in a new light. We were to present a melange of expertise and freshness to connect with consumers. The brief clearly underlined the importance of conveying all information in a simple, and straightforward manner. With 11 variants, all having a unique and exotic mix of ingredients, we needed to think beyond front and back of pack structures. The Insight: Whilst the switch to organic and health-conscious food and beverages is slowly growing, it also comes with apprehensions in the consumer’s mind. After a lot of research, we resolved to break the universal image about ‘health teas’ through our design. We needed to break the monotony of the regular, on-the-shelf health products by being straightforward with our visuals. We wanted the honesty of it all to speak for the product. Health teas are recognised by their mix of ingredients, which contributes to their unique USP. But the awareness about these ingredients is sparse and usually limited to just a line on the packaging. Consumers, though aware of the options in the market, made their buying choices purely on previous preferences. What we needed to do was to feed them all the information visually, and keep it simple so they can make informed buying decisions. As a brand that is sold and supplied globally, we deduced that a single statement or one visual cue was not enough. We had to expand the surfaces and push the boundaries. This came about by the looking at the packaging holistically, and not per surface. The fronts and backs mattered no more. The entire package was our canvas. We had a lot more room to show and say. To keep it organic and original, the type unit of each variant was meticulously created using the hero ingredient. Each ingredient (some picked from around the world) were to be presented in it’s original, raw state representing it’s core health benefit. We experimented with leaves, powders, grains and seeds to obtain textural variety and depth. Along with other ingredients, colours and text we communicated what’s inside, on the outside. Our designs embrace and imbibe the story, the qualities and the language of each variant, marrying it in entirety to the legacy and credibility of the parent brand. 0 comments : TRICE - Tea & Health	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0117.json.gz/line15268

However, as alcohol has a higher vapor pressure than water, more water condenses on the glass, leading to a water-rich condensate, while the surface of the wine is more alcohol rich. When the condensate flows down the sides of the glass back to the wine surface, an unusual flow pattern is observed where the liquid wine flows up a short distance of the glass before gravity pulls it back down, leading to thicker drops (the tears) bouncing up the glass edge. This is due to the attractive forces (surface tension) within the water-rich droplets being stronger than those present in the alcohol-rich surface, causing the liquid to be pulled towards the droplets. This effect was first explained by the physicist James Thomson and then studied in greater depth by Carlo Giuseppe Matteo Marangoni (1840-1925) as part of his Doctoral Thesis at the University of Pavia in Italy. The effect has since been studied in much greater detail and continues to inspire research to this day. The coffee stain effect, the formation of a thicker, more intensely colored ring around the edge of a spilled liquid mixture, is another example of flow patterns created by surface tension forces.3 When a liquid mixture evaporates from a surface, surface tension forces create flow patterns that circulate the more volatile component to the surface, allowing the contact line to contract as the liquid volume decreases (Figure 2). However, if the liquid interacts with the substrate, the contraction can be constrained and slowed. If solid particles, such as coffee grinds, are caught in the flow, they will be pushed to the edge and then deposited, as there is insufficient volume to bring them back to the droplet. This creates the thick edge that can be clearly visible if the particles are colored. This effect also continues to be studied extensively and, recently, researchers from Princeton noticed that the edge effect did not occur when whisky dried in a clean glass.2 They were also able to reproduce this phenomenon using select combinations of surfactants, soluble polymers and solvent blends, citing potential uses in coatings. FIGURE 2 » Surface tension flow patterns in liquid droplets. The force created by surface tension differences can also be demonstrated using the simple soap boat experiment, where a small boat can be propelled by the addition of a small drop of surfactant (or defoamer) into a notch at the back of the boat. The effect is especially visible if the surfactant is colored or an emulsion defoamer is used. However, the same experiment can also be used to show how other factors can affect the flow. When the experiment is repeated with a larger boat (greater mass), the movement is much reduced, as more force is needed to propel a heavier object. Similarly, if the water is replaced with honey (or a water thickened with a cellulosic thickener), the boat barely moves, as viscous drag prevents the movement. It can thus be seen that, while the flow caused by surface tension differences can be significant, it is also affected by other properties of the liquid. Surface tension forces are linked to many known problems in coatings, such as poor substrate wetting, craters, fisheyes, orange peel and leveling patterns, edge retraction and picture framing, and poor recoatability.4 Surfactants and surface active materials are often used to control and prevent these defects by minimizing the differences in surface tension that lead to the flow. Surface tension-driven flow is also an important mechanism in foam control, as defoamers also contain low surface tension, insoluble liquids that spread across a bubble lamella leading to bubble destabilization.5 Formulation properties that affect liquid flow will also affect surface tension-driven flow and will, therefore, affect the behavior of additives in different formulations. To demonstrate these effects, a very simple paint formulation was prepared using a water-based polyurethane acrylic hybrid resin dispersion, formulated with the appropriate premix of coalescing co-solvents and adjusted to various solids content with a commercial titanium dioxide slurry (Table 1). The paint was tested at 0%, 15% and 30% PVC to demonstrate the effect of density and film solids, and the 15% PVC samples were also tested either with or without thickener (0.4% of a commercial HEUR type thickener). Each formulation was tested with different defoamers or surfactants. The viscosity of the formulation without thickener was about 100 centistokes and 400 centistokes with the thickener; without surfactant, the surface tension of the formulation was 52 mN/m. TABLE 1 » Simple paint formulation. Results with Defoamers The first tests examined the effect on four different defoamers – a strong siloxane defoamer, a mid-range oil defoamer, a more compatible siloxane defoamer and a molecular defoamer. Figure 3 shows the results of a simple foam test where the density of the formulation samples was measured before and after 30 seconds shearing in a Waring blender. The foam data is reported as normalized density (sheared density/initial density) as the higher filled samples had a higher initial density. All the defoamers were effective at reducing the amount of air incorporated in the samples, as expected, and the siloxane defoamers were the most effective. The samples containing thickener had higher densities (lower air content) than the samples without thickener, but these were foamier when applied by brush, suggesting that it is harder to both incorporate and release air from the higher-viscosity formulation. Generally, the higher-PVC formulations gave lower densities (higher air content) than the lower-PVC formulation with all four defoamers tested. The most effective defoamer was the more compatible siloxane, except in the case of the thickened paint. FIGURE 3 » Defoaming performance as a function of formulation PVC and thickener. The same formulations were then applied by drawdown and brush onto a number of different substrates, including Leneta charts, wood and plastic (Sabic Cycoloy), and the dried films examined for surface defects. An example of the results is shown in Figure 4. The formulation without defoamer had no defects, but foam was visibly present in the applied film, while there was little or no foam present in any of the paints that contained defoamers. The number and size of surface defects decreased with increasing PVC and viscosity, all three of the oil-type defoamers on all the substrates tested. This trend was amplified on the plastic substrate (impermeable, lowest surface energy) and was reduced on the easier-to-wet Leneta charts. FIGURE 4 » Surface defects in brush-applied paints on Cycoloy substrate with different defoamers. The effects of formulation viscosity, coating density and substrate on defoamer performance have been seen in other studies,6 and these phenomena have been shown to be related to the formulation’s ability to flow under surface tension forces. The more compatible (less hydrophobic) siloxane defoamer gave good performance in most of the formulations tested, but it was not always the best overall performer in a given formulation/substrate combination. The molecular defoamer gave the best results in the clearcoat applied on wood, whereas the oil defoamer was best in the 30% PVC formulation on the same substrate. Results with Surfactants Similar trends were seen when different surfactants were used as wetting agents in the same base formulation. A series of surfactants was tested in the formulation by post-adding 0.5% w/w dose of surfactant to the base paint and then applying the paint by brush or drawdown to the same substrates. The surface tension of the base formulation was 52 mN/m at all PVC levels, and the most effective surfactant (a siloxane) reduced this to 48 mN/m; many of the highly ethoxylated surfactants had almost no effect on the surface tension of the formulation, indicating that they were interacting with the binder or pigments present. All the formulations applied well on wood and Leneta chart, but the same trends seen with defoamers could also be seen on the difficult-to-wet Cycoloy substrate. The best results were obtained with the siloxane surfactant, as expected, as this was able to lower the formulation surface tension sufficiently to prevent surface tension-driven flow defects. However, with a less-effective surfactant, defects were again reduced, as the coating solids and density increased or the coating viscosity raised, reducing the formulation’s ability to flow (Figure 5). FIGURE 5 » Surface defects in brush-applied paints on Cycoloy substrate with different surfactants. Surface tension-driven flow is a real force, created by localized differences in liquid and substrate surface tensions, that can create many undesirable effects for the paint and coating formulator. However, this flow is also subject to resistance from coating mass, film weight and viscosity that can prevent or restrict flow. Additives are often used to try to eliminate problems caused by surface tension-driven flow, but they are often used as problem solvers once other formulation properties are fixed. Thus, additive selection can be challenging because additives will behave differently as other formulation properties change. A highly effective defoamer for highly filled paints may cause surface defects as the formulation viscosity changes for different applications, while a more compatible defoamer loses effectiveness in more highly filled coatings. Similarly, more specialized surfactants such as siloxanes, acetylenic diols or fluorosurfactants are often needed for more difficult-to-wet substrates, while simpler surfactants may be perfectly adequate for less-demanding substrates. By understanding how additive performance can be affected by formulation change, formulators can identify potential problems and work with their suppliers to find answers faster.
